1
00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:06.040
Time for a postgame. Look,
it's your La Clippers. This is Clippers

2
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:09.800
Locker Road, brought to you by
Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of

3
00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:14.919
the La Clippers, and by Putschonga, official travel casino of the LA Clippers.

4
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:19.120
Breaking down today's action with the pre
and post game voice. If you're

5
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:24.039
La Clippers, they're locking in every
game every night. Adam osled well,

6
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.280
The Clippers led big early. They
were up as many as thirty seven,

7
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:31.559
and they managed to hold on and
not get burned by the Suns in Phoenix.

8
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:36.399
As the Clippers are victorious with a
one toh five to ninety two victory,

9
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:42.679
which means they have won the Pac
div as well. Welcome into your

10
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:46.119
postgame show. I'm Adame Oslin coming
up here on the Patriot AM eleven fifty.

11
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.560
In just a little bit, we'll
I have Clippers Talk for you eight

12
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:53.240
seven seven five two zero eleven fifty
eight seven seven five to two zero eleven

13
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:56.640
fifty. But first back out the
Footprint Center with your radio voice of the

14
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.240
Clippers in Carlo Jmenez. Carlo,
I don't know we'll ever see a thirty

15
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:06.719
five to four start again in our
lifetime. That was video game esque.

16
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.159
That was a dream what we saw
from the Clippers early on. It really

17
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.239
was adam. I mean, it
kind of felt like the Clippers around here

18
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:17.599
playing the club basketball team. They
just dominated the story. It was not

19
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:21.319
much resistance from Phoenix, who did
miss open shots in this game, but

20
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:25.959
the Clippers couldn't miss if they wanted
to. They were excellent from the field,

21
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.079
they were able to get downhill,
they moved the basketball so well.

22
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.760
At them twenty assists in that first
half. It really was one of the

23
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.200
better halves this season. And going
back to the second half against Cleveland,

24
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:44.480
overall, an excellent performance for the
Clippers. I really really felt like they

25
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:48.000
came out strong second half. Again, we talked about it. They were

26
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.799
tired legs out there. This was
an emotional team, but they got it

27
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:57.439
done in this one. I was
so impressed with the victory, just the

28
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.640
ability without James Hornon and I'm without
Kawhi Leonard on the road. I don't

29
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.200
think anyone would have been surprised if
the Clippers laid down a little bit,

30
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.599
right, Like, would you be
shocked if the Clippers didn't come out with

31
00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:12.080
the same fight when that same energy, knowing you got a game tomorrow at

32
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.039
home and you only need two wins
and Phoenix is desperate for victory. I

33
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:22.479
mean, it was just an incredible
and incredible game. Not many people expected

34
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.759
the Clippers to swing this kind of
victory in this arena. It speaks to

35
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.280
the level of focus, and I
think it starts from the top down with

36
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.400
their head coach in Taharan Lu who
deserves a ton of credit. When this

37
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.240
Clippers team and this boat was rocking
a little bit, he called him out.

38
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.159
He said, we're playing soft right
now. We're not having that same

39
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.439
amount of toughness we need out there
defensively. Since then, Clippers are seven

40
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.879
and one, and how about you
mentioned no James Harden and no Kawhi.

41
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.520
Leonard Russell Westbrook filling in getting the
starts tonight and just became the first player

42
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.560
in franchise history with at least fifteen
points, fifteen boards, and fifteen assists

43
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:00.879
in a single game. I mean, unreal stuff at him. I think

44
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.879
he set the tone. Really.
I feel like Adam from the get go,

45
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.680
his energy's enthusiasm, he almost shocked
this building with how much fight he

46
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:13.879
came out of this game with.
I would say he's playing his former teammate

47
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:15.439
Kevin Durant, But this guy,
it doesn't matter who he's playing, He's

48
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:20.400
gonna play that way with that kind
of fight. On the end, Russell

49
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.919
Westbrook was excellent in the passing lanes. He had those breakaway dunks. He

50
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:27.639
really fed of eats his zoobots well, I thought in this game, and

51
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.400
he got the Clippers off to the
right foot and then Paul George kind of

52
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:35.280
took them the rest of the way. It was fun to watch. I

53
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.360
think Tyler lou you mentioned him getting
a lot of credit. He just has

54
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.599
an incredible feel at him when to
push those buttons. I don't know what

55
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:45.879
it is, but there's a story
out there of ty when when they were

56
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.360
playing Game seven in Golden State and
he came into the halftime locker room and

57
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.360
ripped apart Lebron James say, we
need more from you. They go on

58
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:57.199
to win that game. I felt
like he said he challenged his team in

59
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.000
the second half of the Cleveland game
when they had given up forty seven,

60
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.439
Hey, we gotta fight. He
is able to pick his spot so well

61
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:08.439
because in a long season like this, you can't dog on your guys every

62
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.520
time to make a mistake, right, you can't get on them every time

63
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.240
there's an air, but he finds
a way to make sure his message is

64
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:20.199
received. And I felt like his
timing and how and how he was able

65
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:24.720
to get his message across. This
team's just just been refocused. They really

66
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.160
have. Yeah, his finger on
the pulse of this squad, know exactly

67
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.040
what they need. And you know, he never panicked when this team was

68
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.800
going through that skid for two months
where they were playing about five hundred ball

69
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:39.160
or a couple of games under it. He said, I like this squad.

70
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:42.000
I think we can be a great
team. Still, there was no

71
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:46.279
panic. He didn't waiver, he
didn't have second thoughts about this squad.

72
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:50.879
He studied the ship. That's what
leaders do. And you mentioned Paul George

73
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:56.560
there also. I'm proud of PG
thirteen. It coincides this turnaround with his

74
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:01.360
play, his individual play and the
team play because PG thirteen since the beginning

75
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.319
of March has just been a different
player. He's back to that all star

76
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:09.079
level. He has hit big shot
after big shot. He has come through

77
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.240
for this team when they needed him
most, and he did once again tonight

78
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.040
when it was down to just a
seven point lead. With plenty of time

79
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.439
left, and it was Paul George
really with those silencer shots to stop the

80
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:23.399
Phoenix Suns from overcoming what was a
thirty seven point lead by the Clippers.

81
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.680
I mean, TYLERU gets him in
his spots at him and he just goes

82
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.800
to work and they continue to feed
him at the right elbow. What's incredible

83
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.079
to me is Paul Pg's spot is
that right elbow. He never takes an

84
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:39.000
easy shot, Like when do we
ever talk about the right elbow and Paul

85
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.839
George getting an open look. Every
time it's a step back, it's somebody

86
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.920
on top of him. It's defender
blanket over him, unless he takes their

87
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.959
ankles like he did to poor Evan
Mobley who ended up on the wrong side

88
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:53.279
of a highlight. I mean,
Paul George takes tough shots, and he

89
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.639
makes tough shots for this Clippers team
and they set them up for success.

90
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:02.639
Impressive, impressive for the Clippers,
Adam. It's just the bandwidth of being

91
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.680
able to maybe take your foot off
the gas. The final three games feels

92
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:11.360
like it could go a long way
for this team. An older the oldest

93
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.279
team in the NBA, an opportunity
to rest their legs before a new season

94
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.759
begins. Now, the Clippers just
need one more victory in their final three

95
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:24.000
ball games to secure the four spot
in the West. They'll run it back

96
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:28.079
tomorrow night at Crypto against the Phoenix
Suns. Tip Off is at seven thirty.

97
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.279
Well, if your pregame show start
against six thirty Carlo great calls,

98
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.160
safe travels. We'll do it all
over again tomorrow night. My friend,

99
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:38.720
I will see you tomorrow, Adam, appreciate it. Coming up next.

100
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:43.839
Second half highlights, the Clippers hold
on late and they win in Phoenix without

101
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.519
Kawhi, without James Harden one to
oh, five to ninety two over the

102
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.920
Suns. This is your Los Angeles
Clippers Audio Network. They want to bring

103
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:56.959
a banner with them to the into
it doull more LA Clippers Basketball on the

104
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:03.199
LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers led
thirty seven to ten after the first quarter.

105
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.839
They come through late and win one
five to ninety two and Phoenix over

106
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:11.879
the Suns. Welcome back in.
This is your Clippers locker room show.

107
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.279
I'm at a Moslin Coming up,

AM eleven fifty. If I'm throwing

We'll get to your phone calls.
At eight seven, seven, five

110
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:26.839
two zero eleven fifty Clippers were up
and doubling up the Suns of the half

111
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:31.439
sixty six to thirty three. Third
quarter not as kind to the Clippers.

112
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.160
We knew the Phoenix Suns would make
a run. We knew they were missing

113
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:38.600
some good looks even in the first
half when the Clippers were scorching hot.

114
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.319
They were ice cold at times,
and they were able to outscore the Clippers

115
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.319
in the third quarter thirty five to
eighteen. It was an eighty four sixty

116
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.800
eight, sixteen point lead for the
Clippers. Answering the fourth quarter, things

117
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:55.079
got dicey. It was down to
seven, but PG thirteen had those calm

118
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.240
nerves late when you needed them.
He finished with eight points in the fourth.

119
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.040
George leftob across. This is over
Undurant. Two Hall of Famers going

120
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:05.879
at it. George step back long
too, left wing rolls in. What

121
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:11.360
a shot from George over the top
of Durrance. George right wing, Durant

122
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.439
in his way, switched on by
Allen. Crossover twice with tend to shoot

123
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:22.399
stops right elbow steps back, jumper
gun its George smoothest butter Paul George when

124
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.800
you needed him most, he came
through, hitting tough shot after tough shot

125
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:31.160
and then finding his guys he ended
up finding. It was Terrence Man and

126
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.360
Russell Westbrook for a couple of easy
ones downhill at the basket, and when

127
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.399
the Clippers were leading by just seven
late, it was Paul George orchestra in

128
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.799
the offense and taking them home where
they will be tomorrow night, taking all

129
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.360
the Phoenix Suns back at Krypto dot
Com Arena after they weighed one oh five

130
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:52.679

their hunt for a Lario b.
They still want to get that Lario bat.

Harden. Clippers win. Guess yes.

00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:24.519

two was your final. They led thirty

137
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:30.519
five to four early on thirty six
thirty seven to six. It was a

138
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.720
sight to behold. Something I don't
think we'll ever see again in a first

139
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:43.600
quarter being up by thirty one and
a quarter insane. Clippers hold on now,

00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.679
Henry right now your host on your
home for the Clippers. They were

154
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:56.279
in attack mode. Adam Austley,
Oh, the Clippers shot the sun aside

155
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.759
like Chino Marino and Depth Tones.
They wait oneh five to ninety two over

156
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:09.120
the Phoenix Suns in Phoenix without Kawhi, without zams Harden, and the Clippers

157
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.440
are fifty one and twenty eight in
a victory away from being the four seed

158
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.480
in the West. To welcome into
your post game show, I'm Adam Mosland

159
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:20.480
here listening to the Patriot AM eleven
fifty when the Dodgers are on AM five

160
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.240
to seventy LA Sports. This is
where we will be. Eight seven seven

161
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.320
five two zero eleven fifty eight seven
seven five two zero eleven fifty is the

162
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:33.120
phone number coming up we're hoping to
hear from coach Lou and Russell Westbrook post

163
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.639
game. Also, Chuck Mackler will
be here as well to celebrate the Clippers

164
00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:45.759
winning the Pacific Division for the third
time in franchise history. They just tied

165
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:52.600
a record for most road wins in
a season at twenty six molst. They

166
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.279
had outside of the twenty fourteen twenty
fifteen season, where they also had twenty

167
00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:00.799
six road wins. Russell Westbrook first
player in franchise history with at least fifteen

168
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:05.679
points, fifteen boards, and fifteen
assists in a single ballgame. Russ stepped

169
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:11.039
in for James Harden being out inflammation
in his foot. Weren't sure if he

170
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:16.720
was going to play on Sunday.
Was limited in minutes there. Russ not

171
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.559
limited at all. He played forty
minutes, had sixteen points, fifteen assists,

172
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.720
fifteen boards, and the Clippers were
shot out of a cannon to start

173
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:31.639
the game. They led thirty five
to four, they led thirty seven to

174
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:37.120
six. That stuff you may never
see again in your lifetime. A score

175
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.200
that lopsided that early in a ball
game. I thought the only game I

176
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:48.679
could think of that was that nasty
for a team that just was getting dismantled

177
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.480
and destroyed that quickly, I want
to think. I want to say it

178
00:12:54.720 --> 00:13:00.480
was the Kings against the Lakers in
the eighties, and the Showtime Lakers and

179
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.559
the Sacramento Kings just game running out
of the building and loosen the first quarter

180
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:11.159
something like forty to five. What
was happening was historic. What the Clippers

181
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.399
were able to do. It was
thirty seven to ten after the first quarter.

182
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.240
It was the fuse amount of points
the Clippers gave up in a quarter

183
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:28.519
in twenty years. Incredible, and
again without two of their main guys,

184
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:37.039
different level of focus. Maybe it
was the opponent getting their attention. These

185
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.960
teams don't like each other. If
you couldn't tell from this. One goes

186
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.360
back to Paul George and Devin Booker
goes back to a couple of playoff series

187
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:48.879
with the Clippers didn't have all their
guys, probably felt like they would have

188
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:56.879
won those. And now we got
beef between O'Neil and Norman Powell, who

189
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:03.840
both got teed up. But that
start by the Clippers special doesn't even begin.

190
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.399
It's the tip of the iceberg.
To describe what we were seeing early

191
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:15.240
on. Everything has to be going
right for one team and everything has to

192
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:20.600
be going wrong for the other to
see a score of thirty five to four

193
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:30.960
in a first quarter period. The
Suns got ambushed at home, and they

194
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.240
add everything to play for. They're
fighting to stay out of being in the

195
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:41.799
play in well update you in the
Western Conference standings coming up. But for

196
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.240
them to come out that flat and
the Clippers just to be a buzz saw

197
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:52.080
and go through them like that was
an unbelievable sight. One of the wildest

198
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:56.919
things I've seen in the ball game. No lie, no cap, just

199
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:05.320
facts as the kids. It was
beautiful basketball by the Clippers. It was

200
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:11.039
the Phoenix Suns doing everything wrong and
missing shots. And if this doesn't speak

201
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:16.039
to what in outlier shooting night,
it was overall for the Sons, who

202
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:18.840
last ten games were shooting forty three
percent from the outside, best in the

203
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:22.919
league last ten games, top ten
offense, top ten defense. They were

204
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.279
seven to three coming into this one
of their last ten games. Grayson Allen,

205
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.639
who's second in the league by just
fractions of a point in three point

206
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:39.840
shooting at almost forty seven percent from
the outside, Grayson Allen tonight went zero

207
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:45.840
of eight from three. I don't
know if that's happened all season long.

208
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.279
I doubt it. I'm just gonna
say no, no, there's no way,

209
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:56.279
there's no way. He has been
lethal. He's been incredible. He's

210
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.000
been I think their third best player
since Bradley Beal has been in and out

211
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:04.600
of the lineup. I mean,
Grayson Allen is a dead eye shooter.

212
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.320
He had a game recently where he
went one for nine. He's had games

213
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.840
where he's gone oh for four from
three, oh for six on the season,

214
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:21.360
one for five. He's also had
games where he's gone nine for fourteen,

215
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:26.080
eight for seventeen. He's been doing
this at high volume. Six for

216
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:33.080
twelve, eight for twelve from three, and he went oh for eight tonight.

217
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.799
You can't rely on that happening tomorrow, but you had to take advantage

218
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.720
of it tonight. The Suns didn't
have it for whatever reason. They were

219
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:49.559
dead on arrival on fan Appreciation night
to boot ooh. The Suns fans have

220
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:57.159
been through this before. It looked
like Game seven against Dallas a couple of

221
00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:02.480
years ago in the playoffs, where
Luke could just punk them, and that

222
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:07.599
meme of him staring at Devin Booker
and smiling as those who have a bit

223
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:14.640
of a rivalry too. But the
Suns aren't going away. We set it

224
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:18.880
throughout the broadcast. Yes, the
Clippers wore up thirty seven, we expected

225
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:21.160
them to make a run. At
some point, the law of averages to

226
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.799
come into effect a little bit,
and even with the Clippers up sixty six

227
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:27.519
to thirty three at the half,
the Sun started to chip away in that

228
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:32.160
third quarter. Clippers made it far
too easy for him with a lot of

229
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:37.119
bad turnovers. Some of that I
want to attribute to tired legs, mental

230
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:41.240
fatigue. Paul George played thirty nine
minutes again, he played forty four minutes

231
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:47.440
in that twenty six point comeback against
the Cleveland Cavaliers at home on Sunday Warrior,

232
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.400
but six turnovers. Russ had five
as good as he was. They

233
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.920
had eleven of the Clippers eighteen turnovers
combined. And the only way, and

234
00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:00.279
we set it on the air,
for the Sun to come back, is

235
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.519
for the Clippers to start giving them
more and more possessions. The Suns ended

236
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:11.599
up with eighty nine shots to the
Clippers eighty seven. The Sun's only turning

237
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.319
over eight times. Really, that
is how they got into the ballgame.

238
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:19.920
And they won that third quarter thirty
five to eighteen, and it got even

239
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:26.680
dice here. Clippers up sixteen heading
into the fourth and it turned into a

240
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:33.079
seven point game. And I'm sure
some of the Clipper Nation was white knuckling

241
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:37.599
thinking about that Lakers game where they
came back on the Clippers down twenty one

242
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:45.440
in the fourth. It was serious. The Suns were a threat, but

243
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:52.839
Grayson Allen just continued to miss some
wide open three pointers. I mean uncharacteristically.

244
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:59.519
Gotta be honest about that. It's
it's obvious. He had one of

245
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:03.400
the coldest nights of his career in
a big spot, but with it just

246
00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:11.640
being a seven point game at it
was ninety one to eighty four after Bradley

247
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.279
Beal sunk a free throw after an
and one. He had a couple of

248
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:22.680
them early on in that fourth quarter. The Clippers ended up getting a Norm

249
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.079
Pal layup, Paul George being fouled, going to the free throw line and

250
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:32.079
putting him back up by eleven,
and then hitting a tough jumper over KD

251
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:34.480
to put him up. PG thirteen
put him up thirteen, ninety seven to

252
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:40.000
eighty four. Alan came back,
knocked down a couple of free throws.

253
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.200
KD, you hit a jumper.
Paul George back of the free throw line,

254
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:48.880
hit both big shots, but the
Clippers back up ninety nine to eighty

255
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:59.519
eight. Then he found Russell Westbrook
and Terence Man for easy looks, easy

256
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:03.960
ones. As he was being doubled. They tried to get the ball out

257
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:11.440
of pg's hands find the open man. So is the turnovers as much as

258
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.559
frustrating as they were with Paul George
in the fourth quarter and the Clippers overall

259
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:21.400
in the end. He made the
plays for them to come through with the

260
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:25.839
victory one O five to ninety two. Another big Shotover, not just Devin

261
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:29.799
Bookerberg Grayson Allen in the fourth from
PG. Thirteen. Let's go and start

262
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.519
things off with Morris in Long Beach. Morris here on Clippers stop without a

263
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:36.559
maus And what's up? Yeah,
I'm team. What's up right now?

264
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:38.839
My brother? What's up to?
Tyron Luke, Tyron lu That's what's up

265
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:41.440
right now. And by the way, thank you Clipper Nation for those tickets

266
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.720
for the Cleveland game. Man,
that was a game. You know,

267
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:48.559
people sitting behind me right the Clippers
was down by twenty six don't never need

268
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.640
to stadium. You know, the
people sitting behind me lift seven people just

269
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:55.440
walked up and left and left the
stadium when the Clippers were down by twenty

270
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:57.400
six points. I wonder how they
felt later in the day when they found

271
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:00.440
out what the score was. These
guys are videato in the fourth quarter.

272
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:06.839
If you notice against Cleveland's Dave's Hart
didn't play. He didn't play, and

273
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:08.240
tonight they didn't need him. And
I'm gonna take him. I'm a Slipper

274
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:11.640
fan, I'm a Clipper fan,
but I don't think anybody got the firepower

275
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:17.119
that the Phoenix Suns have. That's
why I'm giving Tyronlos some props. He

276
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:22.319
shut those guys down Bradley Beal,
a Booker Anderson and Kevin Durant, and

277
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:26.039
they struggled to get one hundred points. I'm taking my head off to the

278
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:27.559
coach and that okay, you behave
yourself at them. Great job, and

279
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:30.200
again thanks for little tickets man,
and the Clippers are ready. Everybody,

280
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.680
don't bet against him. You'll lose
your money. You got it, Morris,

281
00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:41.400
That against them at your own peril. The Clippers made the plays when

282
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:44.200
they had to in the fourth quarter. It wasn't a pretty second half by

283
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:48.759
any stretch of the imagination, but
they were good enough and that first half

284
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:52.720
secured it for him. Let's be
honest, they won it in the first

285
00:21:52.799 --> 00:22:02.559
quarter. It happens sometimes, really
not like this. Somewhat fluky. You're

286
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:10.640
up thirty five till four on Phoenix
on their court. Just I don't know.

287
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.319
It's an anomaly, an outlier,
but give the Clippers credit to stay

288
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:21.000
focused in this game when they knew
coming in. Coach Lou said a pregame,

289
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:22.960
we want two more wins that secures
the four spot. Well, now

290
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:26.400
they only need one more. Guess
what else? They're seven and one since

291
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.839
coach Lou called him out for being
soft, pushing the right buttons at the

292
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:36.559
right time, getting the most out
of his team, knowing what it takes

293
00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:44.000
to motivate them, challenging them like
that, and now feels like they're on

294
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:48.440
the upswing. They're trending in the
right direction heading into the playoffs again,

295
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:51.160
they need one more victory. They
got three games left, two of them

296
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:53.680
are against Utah and the Houston Rockets. I don't know if the Rockets are

297
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:56.960
going to be played for anything.
They're already out of the playing picture.

298
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:03.119
After flirting with getting the ten spot, the Golden State has that secured.

299
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.200
They might have just jumped into the
nine since they took down the Lakers tonight.

300
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.200
More on that. In the Western
Conference standings coming up, Clippers win

301
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:15.160
one five to ninety two and Phoenix
over the Suns. They led by as

302
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:19.160
many as thirty seven eight seven seven
five to zero eleven fifty eight seven seven

303
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:23.279
five two zero eleven fifty. You're
listening to Clippers talk Here on the Patriot

304
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:29.079
AM eleven fifty, the LA Clippers
continue their hunt for a Lario b.

305
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:32.880
They still want to get that Lario
be. Don't miss a moment all season

306
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.720
long. This is the LA Clippers
Audio Network. Proud of these Clippers.

307
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.279
They turn things around after being about
a five hundred team for a couple of

308
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:48.519
months. Looked like they were sleepwalking
into the ball games. Today it was

309
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.119
the Phoenix Suns and the Clippers are
seven in one over their last eight.

310
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:56.880
Clippers led by as many as thirty
seven. They win in Phoenix without Kawhi,

311
00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:02.039
without James Harden one oh five to
nine two over a Sun's team that

312
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:07.039
is desperate for victories and they couldn't
get it. Let's pause dead seconds for

313
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:12.119
station identification. Here on the Patriot
AM eleven fifty, this is LA Clippers

314
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:21.599
Basketball, AM eleven fifty k EV
Los Angeles and iHeartRadio station. The Suns

315
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:26.079
were favored by ten and the Clippers
were up by thirty one in the first

316
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.400
quarter. Never seen anything like it, don't think I ever will again.

317
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:36.839
I'm serious, it's not hyperbole.
We're never going to see that again.

318
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:44.039
Where were you when the Clippers led
by thirty plus in a first quarter.

319
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:49.079
Y, how hard that is to
do? Stars aligning Moon in front of

320
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:53.960
Sun Xavier. Moon did get in
late in the ball game. I was

321
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:59.720
hoping he would get that block on
a Sun player. So we do get

322
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:03.200
that solar eclipse. Oh, it
would have been cool, but we'll sell

323
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:07.400
for the victory. One five ninety
two was the final mark in Huyton Beach.

324
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:10.720
You're on Clipper staff with that,
I'm awesome. Hey, we could

325
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:12.480
have had this game a lot easier. But first, real quick question.

326
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.240
Is there a Pacific Division banner that
we get down because we won the Pacific

327
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:21.119
Division? Uh? I think there
is. I don't know if they'll hang

328
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:22.200
it or not. I believe they
have in the past. I don't know.

329
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:26.079
Well, okay, then the other
thing, we got our sight sound

330
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.400
something a little bit bigger, right, Mark? Oh yeah, but you

331
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:33.680
know, one down, two to
go. But here's the other thing.

332
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.519
I was yelling at the radio in
the third and fourth quarter every time Coach

333
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.359
lou took out Zubak and then they
just ran into the paint and chipped away

334
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:45.000
at the lead. I'm with you. Was there some reason I was missing

335
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.720
listening to it on the radio while
I was doing uber rides that Zoo got

336
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.559
taken out. I mean he was, he stopped him, and then he

337
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:56.519
takes him out and then they score
on us. All right. He played

338
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.240
the majority of that third quarter.
I believe they took him out in the

339
00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:04.519
fourth. They went small. Eventually, they weren't feeding Big Zoo when he

340
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:10.319
had a matchup against Eric Gordon at
times, which was a little bit frustrating.

341
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:15.799
Uh yes, I lot frustrating.
You know. I think there's an

342
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:19.920
easier path to win ball games for
this team, and it is getting the

343
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:22.759
ball in the hands of Avitza Zoobots
more on the block. Now, Big

344
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:27.079
Zoo, my player to watch still
was magnificent. He had seventeen and thirteen

345
00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:30.960
and two blocks on eight of thirteen
shooting in twenty eight minutes. He was

346
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:37.799
great. Yeah, but you know, triple double for Russell too, triple

347
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.200
double for russ The thing is,
and I don't mind this from coach Lou

348
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.200
because the Suns are a great team
to go small against, especially without Yusuf

349
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:49.519
Nurkic tonight. And eventually it worked
in the Clippers favor when their offense was

350
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:55.519
stalling out in that fourth quarter.
They found some easy buckets and driving lanes

351
00:26:55.920 --> 00:27:00.880
off of Paul George being doubled in
finding Terrence Man and Russell Westbrook cutting to

352
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:03.680
the basket. So credit Coach Lou. It all worked out in the end.

353
00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:10.720
It was a seven point game at
one point. Fine Tomorrow night.

354
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:12.759
Talk to tomorrow all right, Mark, I appreciate the phone call. Do

355
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:18.240
it all over again tomorrow. Clippers
hosting the Phoenix Suns Tomorrow night at Crypto

356
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:22.240
dot Com Arena. After they win
in Phoenix tonight one to five to ninety

357
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:26.440
two over the Suns. Still to
come, we're looking for postgame audio from

358
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:33.480
Coach Lou and Russell Westbrook. I
think this was a type of game,

359
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:38.920
especially against the Suns, where it
was an especially good matchup for Russ and

360
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:44.279
I'm sure he's been chomping at the
bit to get more minutes. He started

361
00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:49.079
tonight without James Harden eleventh game.
I think he has started first since he

362
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:53.319
was taken out of the starting lineup
for Terrence Man way back in November,

363
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:56.759
when really the season turned around for
this Clippers team after they started oh and

364
00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:03.160
five with James as they tried to
make it work with him and Russ in

365
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:10.359
the starting lineup, but the spacing
just isn't there. Russell Westbrook is well,

366
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:11.799
he's never been a great shooter.
That's not one of his strengths.

367
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:18.279
I think he's bottom of the league
when it comes to over one hundred attempts

368
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:22.039
from three on the season, and
he's also bottom of the league kind of

369
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:27.799
surprisingly when it comes to field goal
percentage at the rim. But what he

370
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:32.079
adds, and especially in a game
like this, in a matchup like this

371
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:36.519
where the floor is going to be
more spaced anyways against Phoenix without Yusuf Nurkic,

372
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:42.519
is that pace, that tempo,
and he got them really pulling in

373
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:48.039
the right direction in the first quarter. It was good to see what I

374
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.240
like and what I have liked going
back to the second half against Cleveland on

375
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.960
Sunday, most about Russ is what
he's starting to show again defensively. When

376
00:28:56.960 --> 00:29:02.359
the Clippers were in that rut,
I didn't like the defensive spirit from him.

377
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:04.559
A lot of guys weren't playing great
defense. Of course, went over

378
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:08.480
a thirty game span, you're bottom
three defensively. A lot of blame to

379
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:12.119
go around, but Russ wasn't playing
to his defensive potential, which I think

380
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:17.319
is really high. It's an underrated
part of his game when he locks in

381
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:22.720
and focuses on the defensive end because
of his athleticism. It's long arms,

382
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:27.599
quickness. Still at this age,
he's a freaking nature leaping ability. We

383
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:30.720
saw that tip out he had into
Norman Powell, the hustle play on that

384
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:36.720
offensive rebound in the game against the
Cash for that big three pointer. Russ

385
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:42.519
can be a stopper at least,
a guy that can contain and disrupt certain

386
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:45.920
players on offense. And I think
there's two of them coming up in what

387
00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:49.480
is likely going to be the Clippers
first round series against the Dallas Mavericks in

388
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:56.039
Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving that he
matches up well against. That's a good

389
00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.920
series. I think for us,
it's a good matchup and he's gonna be

390
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:07.079
very much needed. Uh he may
even have to guard somebody like PJ.

391
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.480
Washington at times. They may go
small with Russ at the five. We've

392
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:17.799
seen it here and there. So
it's good to see him pick it up

393
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:21.200
really over the last three four games. Now. When he first came back

394
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:23.880
from the broken left hand, just
I don't know, didn't have his rhythm

395
00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:27.240
was gonna take time, was forcing
it a little too much. And I

396
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:30.640
thought in the second half of this
one, in that third quarter, he

397
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:34.559
took some ill advised shots, you
know, a long jumper, a three

398
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:37.400
pointer. It's just not his game. But then he got to the basket

399
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:42.839
late on that great feed from Paul
George. That's the Russ I want to

400
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:48.680
see out there. Sixteen, fifteen
and fifteen. Special night for him,

401
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:52.920
special night for the Clippers to do
this, to be that dominant early on,

402
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:56.519
to be up by thirty three at
the half over a Sun's team.

403
00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:00.720
That yeah, they were missing use
of Nurkic, that's something, but they

404
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:03.680
had KD eight of twenty two.
They had badly beal. He was solid

405
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:10.400
six of thirteen. Devin Booker was
one for eleven and looked like he had

406
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:14.359
a deer in the headlights when he
was sitting on the bench type of look

407
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:19.240
on his face. He and Paul
George have had a rivalry and PG seems

408
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:23.279
to get up for these games.
Typically Devin Booker does two. He finished

409
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:30.119
with twelve points, one for eleven, so not just Grayson Allen with his

410
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:34.880
of eight performers from three, Devin
Booker was nowhere to be found. Someone

411
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:38.880
tweeted at me, why did he
stop shooting? Well, he's one for

412
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:45.119
eleven, that might be why.
I agree, you got to dig yourself

413
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:49.799
out of that. But you get
two guys that play forty minutes in him

414
00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:57.319
and Kevin Durant, and they combined
to go nine for thirty three. Who

415
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:02.440
brutal uh Keith in La You're on
Clippers South with out of Malsen. What's

416
00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:12.480
up? Keith was good at him? This Clippers team, Dude, you

417
00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:14.839
know, I mean you know,
I think you guys kept saying that.

418
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:19.279
Man, the word is impressive.
Tonight, bro am, not to mention

419
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:22.119
last night, I'm saying, but
just him pressing, you know, I

420
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:27.240
think, Yeah, tonight I'm calling
to also give a prop sman to coach

421
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.440
ty Luth act something, Madam,
just brother to brother man. Do you

422
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:35.319
actually play the game of chess?
I used to a little bit when I

423
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:37.920
was younger. I mean I was
Bobby Fish or anything. But when I

424
00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:43.599
was young I joyed here. Okay, but that's my point. That's my

425
00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:46.640
point. And you got the basic
understanding of the game just and Tyleru has

426
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:52.480
been just like this master. He
knows his pieces. Man you know what

427
00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:57.880
I'm saying, bro, tonight was
something else. It really you have the

428
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:00.279
thirty seven point lead and all that, and I'm I'm going on January thirteenth,

429
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:02.440
you know, coming all that.
So you know, Man, number

430
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:07.279
thirteen just off the chain, no
doubt. I'm very impressed, man.

431
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:08.519
And you know, I'll say one
last thing. I'll share something with you,

432
00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:10.440
Adam, and I let it go. Man. You know, in

433
00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:14.039
your spare time, go to YouTube. And I don't know if you remember

434
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:16.720
the comedian Robin Harris. He was
really popular in the late eighties and nineties.

435
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:20.519
Robin, you know, babies,
kids and all that. At that

436
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:22.599
time, in nineteen eighty ninety,
there was a very popular joke about the

437
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:24.759
clippers. I can sit anywhere,
you know, the interest that and the

438
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:29.960
other. And I look at where
we are now. We are knocking on

439
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:32.240
Heaven's door. And I really mean
that, man, I really mean that.

440
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:36.720
So I land the plane. As
I always say, Man, tonight

441
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:40.519
was something to be old it really
well again, Big up to coach Tyloo

442
00:33:40.599 --> 00:33:47.200
man. I like it. I
like it nation Ah Caeth. Finish it

443
00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:51.039
out there, finish it out,
finish it out, finish it out.

444
00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:57.839
Not can happen. My bad.
How many just men else can you have?

445
00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:02.720
I thought he was done love Keith, I'll tell you a quick time

446
00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:08.480
out. Coach Lou deserves his flowers
after this one. After the last couple

447
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:16.519
of weeks got this team to refocus. Guys were talking about what's our identity?

448
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:22.679
Seven to one their last eight.
They've gotten back to playing much better

449
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:30.159
defense. There's your identity. You
combine that with an explosive offense. This

450
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:35.360
Clippers team is right. Not many
who can hang with them, but there's

451
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:37.400
a lot of work to be done. In that first round series, which

452
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:44.199
seems imminent against the Dallas Mavericks,
that's gonna be a slugfest. Heavyweights.

453
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:47.639
Lucas got Kyrie. Now they've been
a top ten defense since the trade deadline.

454
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:52.000
Different Clippers team, different Dallas team. You can throw out what happened

455
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:57.000
in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. Trust me. Now, we just

456
00:34:57.079 --> 00:35:00.679
need to see Kawhi Leonard back.
We'll see if that happens before the regular

457
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:07.119
season is over. More clipperstock next
here on the Patriot amleven fifty every Clipper

458
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:12.199
game all season. Law, they
didn't stop playing hard. You're listening to

459
00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:19.599
the LA Clippers Audio Network streaming on
the Iheartradiolap. Somebody said on Twitter there

460
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:28.119
was in e clips in Phoenix as
in Clippers. Yeah, they won one

461
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:34.719
o five to ninety two over the
Suns in Phoenix. Welcome back in on

462
00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:37.000
Madam Oslin, this is Clipper stock. Here on the Patriot Am eleven fifty

463
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:42.719
eight seven seven five to zero eleven
fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven

464
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:45.519
fifty is the phone number coming up
you're gonna hear from Russell Westbrook post game.

465
00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:51.119
But first joined the show is Big
Chuck Mockler from Clips and Dip for

466
00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:55.199
some double dip here on Clips.
I always missed that here on Clippers Talk.

467
00:35:55.639 --> 00:36:00.599
What's up, Chuck? How are
you doing? I'm were okay.

468
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:05.440
I think the Clippers won, which
is which Hey, we're happy about.

469
00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:08.719
They clinched the specific division, which
I know you're very excited about. But

470
00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:13.920
perhaps I'm higher. Hey, I
want to, but you know, you

471
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:19.000
gotta build, you know. Half
This game was phenomenal and also just I

472
00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:22.199
think one of the craziest first quarters
anyone watching that maybe had ever seen.

473
00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:27.360
It's the end of the season.
Games get really weird right now. They

474
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:30.519
were out hardening Kawhi. So I'm
happy they got the win. I'm trying

475
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:34.760
to figure out how much stock to
put into it, you know, into

476
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:37.320
the bad stuff, I guess,
but I don't think we learned too much

477
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:40.239
about the Clippers team other than you
know, if Zu gets played off the

478
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:43.920
floor, things aren't gonna go well. But I don't think that's a big

479
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:49.800
shock to anybody. What's crazy is
Phoenix desperately needed that game. They got

480
00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:52.079
dropped into the seventh spot, so
they're in the seven eight matchup right now,

481
00:36:52.280 --> 00:36:57.679
in the play in because the Pelicans
took down the Portland Trail Blazers for

482
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:00.079
them to not show up, and
some of it's the Clippers, but some

483
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:05.480
of it's them too, And just
how poor they were in that first quarter.

484
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:09.199
They looked mentally fragile. You know, it just looked like a team

485
00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:14.760
that broke. And I've heard that
from Suns fans a lot this season.

486
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:17.159
I hadn't really seen that against the
Clippers. I know they've given up a

487
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:22.679
ton of leads this year and that's
been an issue for them. Fourth quarters

488
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:25.719
have not gone their way. But
my goodness, the Phoenix Suns O.

489
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:30.599
That was a tough, tough loss
on fan appreciation night. But the Clippers,

490
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:34.440
you got to give them a ton
of credit for that because the way

491
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:37.920
they came out with Russell Westbrook shot
out of a cannon and just executing so

492
00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:42.960
quickly out there and finding the seams
and the defense. You know, it

493
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:45.880
wasn't like they just came out and
hit ten three pointers in the first quarter

494
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:51.199
or something like that. They just
sliced and diced and dissected the defense every

495
00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:53.960
which way. Chuck, Yeah,
I really, I mean, and shout

496
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:58.760
out to Russ for what one hundred
and ninety nine career triple doubles, which

497
00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:01.559
is really hard kind of wrap your
head around. He had two steals in

498
00:38:01.639 --> 00:38:06.480
this game, and I think both
of them came within like three minutes of

499
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:08.159
each other in the first quarter or
something like that, really early, so

500
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:13.000
he was a great Again. Russ
sets the tone, That's exactly what he

501
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:15.480
did tonight. It Yeah, it
was. It was. I mean,

502
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:19.639
you know, vintage Russ you can
say, right with a triple bubble and

503
00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:22.559
everything like that. So you know, he got to start, which is

504
00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:25.159
awesome. He seems to dislike playing
the Thuns, which I think we can

505
00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:30.679
all rally behind, you know,
and we needed his thirty nine minutes right

506
00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:35.320
when you're out Kawhi and James Harden. At the end of the season,

507
00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:37.920
Russ, you know, partially having
to play thirty nine minutes because things got

508
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:42.840
weird. It's still it's very valuable
for the Clippers to have a guy who

509
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:45.719
can go play thirty nine minutes the
way that he just played thirty nine minutes.

510
00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:50.559
Yeah, And I don't know.
Would I have liked to seeing them

511
00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:53.719
blow them out and for Paul George
and everybody to get more rest. I

512
00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:59.960
will, I would, it would
be nice. I also think you more

513
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:02.119
earn more in close games, though, And it was a game where they

514
00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:07.679
were up by seven in the fourth
quarter and Paul George again hit tough shots

515
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:12.199
and in fourth quarters. This season, he's shooting fifty two percent from the

516
00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:15.000
field, forty four percent from three. He's a plus one twenty eight and

517
00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:19.079
five hundred and fifty one minutes at
least. He was coming into this ballgame

518
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:23.559
in the fourth quarter best on this
Clippers team, and just continues to come

519
00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:28.719
through late. He's had two game
winners in the last week and he actually

520
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:31.239
made a couple of passes after some
bad turnovers early on the fourth quarter that

521
00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:36.880
kind of sealed the game tonight.
Yeah, I mean everyone's been saying it.

522
00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:38.920
He's peaking at the right time.
He's on the upswing, what you

523
00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:43.360
know, whatever one of those you
want to use to describe it. It's

524
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:46.360
happening and it's fantastic for the Clippers. So kawhi out. It gives Paul

525
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:51.159
George a chance to maybe feel is
more of the one. Right in the

526
00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:53.760
beginning of the season, he talked
about he wants to be the number two

527
00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:58.239
whatever, whatever. I think it's
very clear that when Paul George is playing

528
00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:00.079
like the number one, he seems
to enjoy it, and the Clippers,

529
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:04.599
you know, look a lot better
when he's kind of taking those kinds of

530
00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:08.119
shots or looking for those shots.
Specifically, there are gonna be some turnovers.

531
00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:10.800
He had one light that was really
frustrating. He was just kind of

532
00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:15.679
trying to bring the ball up from
his dribble behind the back. But yeah,

533
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:19.119
you know what I'm talking, Yeah, all right, elbow right after

534
00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:22.519
he just stuck a tough shot over
two defenders. But that's kind of what

535
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:25.920
you get with Paul George. Right
Sometimes it is two sets forward, one

536
00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:30.760
steps back. Right now, it's
like five steps forward, one step back,

537
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:36.079
which is peak Paul George and along
with a couple other guys like Terrence

538
00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:39.159
Man and a mere Coffee, He's
playing as well as he has all season

539
00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:44.400
at the right time. Man Terrence
Man goes eight for ten, one of

540
00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:49.599
one from the outside. He was
fourteen for his last fifteen coming into this

541
00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:52.880
game, so what is that He's
twenty two for his last twenty five.

542
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:59.159
Overall, that's insane with some three
pointers in there too, plus ten boards.

543
00:40:59.800 --> 00:41:02.280
I can't say enough about Man starting
to peak at the same time too.

544
00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:07.119
And just the Clippers overall, there's
seven to one their last eight games.

545
00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:09.719
Was something born out of coach lou
calling himself because it sure seems like

546
00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:14.400
it right now. Chuck, Yeah, I think that helps. We talked

547
00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:16.679
about it on clips and DIP.
I don't think any professional athlete likes to

548
00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:22.679
hear their coach publicly declare that their
identity is a soft one. So kudos

549
00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:28.920
to Tyleru for pushing that button when
he definitely had to. I've been,

550
00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:31.960
you know, harping on wanting good
process. There's a game tomorrow which I

551
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:37.159
don't know, no idea what to
expect tomorrow after what we saw tonight from

552
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:42.559
these two teams, and then you
know they play the jazz, which that's

553
00:41:42.639 --> 00:41:45.679
gonna be an odd one, and
then you know they got the Rockets at

554
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:50.079
twelve thirty two. So I think
for us good process hunters, we're gonna

555
00:41:50.119 --> 00:41:52.920
have to be content with what we
have, which is, like you said,

556
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:55.719
a seven and one record, and
there are some good things to look

557
00:41:55.800 --> 00:42:00.280
at. While you know Kawhi rests
up from the playoffs. Yeah, yeah,

558
00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:04.760
I'm wondering if they're just gonna rest
guys tomorrow. Paul George played thirty

559
00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:08.599
nine minutes after playing forty four on
Sunday, as anticipated. James Harden did

560
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:15.599
not go in this one. It's
just I think we've seen enough, like

561
00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:20.800
they've gathered themselves, they've recovered from
being five hundred for a couple of months,

562
00:42:20.840 --> 00:42:23.360
and they've shown enough lashes to me
where I'm not saying it's like the

563
00:42:23.440 --> 00:42:27.239
run where they were twenty six and
five, but I feel really good about

564
00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:30.559
this team and where they are overall. How do you feel at the moment,

565
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:36.519
as the chances have only increased of
them taking on the Dallas Mavericks in

566
00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:42.760
the first round, where are you
at with that likely matchup here, Chuck,

567
00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:49.039
it's I mean, I have it
Clippers winning the series. It might

568
00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:53.199
be in six or seven games.
This is going to be an absolute bloodbath.

569
00:42:53.639 --> 00:42:57.360
I know the Clippers are very good. I love the Clippers. I

570
00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:00.559
think they can fit in an NBA
championship. The MAVs are also talking,

571
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:04.440
like you said, you know,
peaching at the right time. They have

572
00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:07.559
two guys who can create their own
shot. They have two guys who seem

573
00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:12.840
to enjoy playing with each other right
now and kind of can attack the Clippers

574
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:15.360
in ways that they might. I
don't know, man, I could go

575
00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:19.159
down a rabbit hole. I think
I think the Clippers are gonna win it.

576
00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:22.119
But you know, it's hard to
think of it as anything other than

577
00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:25.960
going to be a very very difficult
series. It's going to be hell,

578
00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:30.519
but hopefully not the hell that the
Phoenix Suns were in in that first half.

579
00:43:31.039 --> 00:43:35.440
Something we talked about we were texting
about earlier today. You know,

580
00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:42.880
a lot of Clipper Nation has been
saying they're probably just resting Kawhi Leonard end

581
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:47.519
of the season, but I would
caution against that a little bit because Kawhi

582
00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:51.920
didn't play in a huge game against
the Denver Nuggets. That's still really meant

583
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:55.400
something for this Clippers team. I
just don't want to, you know,

584
00:43:55.559 --> 00:44:00.000
assume everything is completely fine. We're
hoping for the best. But that wasn't

585
00:44:00.039 --> 00:44:04.000
a game you could just give away. They ended up winning it. But

586
00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:06.400
I think if he was healthy,
he would have played in that game,

587
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:10.679
right, Yeah, I think so. I mean, you know, he's

588
00:44:10.760 --> 00:44:15.039
on the report for a reason.
It said soreness, which you know,

589
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:20.280
I'm choosing to believe it's soreness and
it's just the regular maintenance. But yeah,

590
00:44:20.639 --> 00:44:23.639
it's hard to not have that kind
of I guess gnawing as the word

591
00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:27.480
I would use to you know,
in the back of your head right now.

592
00:44:27.920 --> 00:44:30.199
Clippers fans also, I know y'all
want them update. We're not going

593
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:34.079
to get an update until you know
the team decided to give us one.

594
00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:37.320
Tylu was asked a couple of games
ago, you know, the whole thing

595
00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:39.599
of like, if that were a
playoff game, would Kauwhi have played.

596
00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:44.599
He didn't answer that part of the
question, So I don't know. We'll

597
00:44:44.639 --> 00:44:47.079
know what we know. I just
keep an eye on the injury reports,

598
00:44:47.079 --> 00:44:50.599
I guess, but I don't necessarily
want to see him playing any of these

599
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:53.400
three game too, So it's a
bit of a double edged swort. Let's

600
00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:58.119
just hope we can all balance on
the right side of that over this next

601
00:44:58.159 --> 00:45:01.000
week or so. Yeah, I
guess myself point there is I don't think

602
00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:06.039
it's just load management for the sake
of load management going on with Kawhi Leonard,

603
00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:07.800
because we really haven't seen that all
season long. And there was a

604
00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:12.960
game that men a tons of the
Clippers for them to win and to also

605
00:45:13.039 --> 00:45:15.760
try to keep the Denver Nuggets from
getting that one seed, and they got

606
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:20.039
it anyways, and they showed a
ton of grit. But uh, this

607
00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:24.239
Clippers team, we all know they
go as far as Kawhi Leonard takes them.

608
00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:29.519
So hopefully, if he's able to
go in one of these last three

609
00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:32.719
games and it's not something more serious, maybe we can get a look at

610
00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:37.039
him before the playoffs start. But
regardless, good to see the Clippers get

611
00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:43.320
another victory tonight in Phoenix final score
one five to ninety two as they thrashed

612
00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:46.760
the Phoenix Suns early and held on
late. Charles, thanks for doing this

613
00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:52.599
here a little clips and double dip
here on Clippers Talk. Thanks for having

614
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:55.079
me let's go clips coming up next. Back to your phone calls eight seven

615
00:45:55.159 --> 00:46:00.000
seven five two zero eleven fifty eight
seven seven five two zero eleven fifty one.

616
00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:02.480
We'll hear from Russell Westbrook after the
Clippers led by as many as thirty

617
00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:07.400
seven in Phoenix. They end up
winning one o five to ninety two.

618
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:10.039
I'm at a MAZLM. This is
Clipperstock here on the Patriot AMLEMN fifty.

619
00:46:10.719 --> 00:46:15.880
The LA Clippers continue their hunt for
a Lario B. They still want to

620
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:19.760
get that Lario bat. Don't miss
a moment all season long. This is

621
00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:24.800
the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers
crushed the Suns early and held on late.

622
00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:29.320
They win one O five to ninety
two in Phoenix. They're fifty one

623
00:46:29.480 --> 00:46:34.760
and twenty eight. They need one
more victory to secure the four spot in

624
00:46:34.800 --> 00:46:37.320
the West. Welcome back into Clippers
Stock. I'm in a Moslim before we

625
00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:39.960
hear from Russell Westbrook here on the
Patriot AMLUM fifty, Ryan and Burbank,

626
00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:45.960
you're on Clipper stock. What's up? Ran oh Adam Adam, this is

627
00:46:45.559 --> 00:46:51.239
this is good stop. This is
good stop. These clips have locked in

628
00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:55.719
this all without Kawhi these past few
games. I mean, it's oh man,

629
00:46:55.800 --> 00:46:59.639
it's so fun to watch. It
is so fricking fun to watch this

630
00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:02.800
team when they are locked in like
this. Tylu. Man got to give

631
00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:07.519
to Tylu for pushing the buttons.
Since that, since that came out and

632
00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:12.800
called the clips off because they were
playing soft defensively, They've won seven out

633
00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:17.400
of their last eight games, Dan, Adam, they looking so good.

634
00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:21.320
They looking so good. It's so
much fun to watch this team when they're

635
00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:24.760
locked in like this defensively, just
taking it to I mean the Suns man

636
00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:28.599
have been on a role too,
and they just I mean, they obliterated

637
00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:31.239
him in that first quarter. It's
just I cannot wait for Kawhi to come

638
00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:35.480
back. I know he's going to
be fresh. I think this team's gonna

639
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:37.159
make a deep run. Adam.
I've felt it all year. I love

640
00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:39.719
it, man, I really love
it. How do you feel about seeing

641
00:47:39.760 --> 00:47:44.920
Luka, Nacis and Kyrie in the
first row? See I Adam. I

642
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:50.119
am one of the few people that
welcomes this matchup because I really believe.

643
00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:57.280
Firstly, I would argue that the
team that they beat in twenty twenty one

644
00:47:57.480 --> 00:48:00.360
was a better equip team. They
had Kristaps Zingis on that team. To

645
00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:04.960
have Jayleen Brunton on that team.
I besides Kyrie, who Adam. Look,

646
00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:07.400
Kyrie is a great player, but
if you look at his past playoff

647
00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:10.320
numbers, these past couple of times
he's been in the playoffs, I know,

648
00:48:10.760 --> 00:48:14.920
but you really want to hold on
to that and Tim Fate, you

649
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:17.400
really think with all the clutch moments
he has had, that he's going to

650
00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:21.960
continue to struggle in the playoffs.
I just can't see it happening, especially

651
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:25.599
now that he's a number two option. Again, I like him better as

652
00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:29.000
the number two. I agree with
you on that front, but again I

653
00:48:29.039 --> 00:48:31.480
would argue that the Clippers, pound
for pounds, you go past Luca and

654
00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:36.079
Kyrie and go the rest of the
rotational players for Dallas and the rest of

655
00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:38.519
the rotational players for Clippers. They
just have so much more depth and the

656
00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:43.599
fact that you can bring Westbrook off
the bench now to guard Luca for possessions

657
00:48:43.639 --> 00:48:45.960
to come in as a ball hand
for Jeames doesn't have it going. I

658
00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:51.079
just look at Kawhi PG. Terrence
Man is shooting the ball so well right

659
00:48:51.159 --> 00:48:53.239
now. I just I don't think
Dallas has the defense is off the Clippers.

660
00:48:53.280 --> 00:48:58.880
I like Clippers and say here's here's
here's here's the problem with that thinking.

661
00:48:59.039 --> 00:49:02.400
And this is the only thing that
I push back with. Dallas has

662
00:49:02.519 --> 00:49:08.599
had a top ten defense for thirty
two games, now forty percent of the

663
00:49:08.719 --> 00:49:13.199
season. They're a completely different team
than they were early on this year.

664
00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:16.280
They made moves, they've been a
top ten defense that whole. Dallas doesn't

665
00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:22.800
play any defense anymore. Narrative,
It's false, it just is. And

666
00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:24.639
I here's the thing. They played
a lot better, like you said out

667
00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:28.320
in the last thirty two games,
but in the playoffs, when you're two

668
00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:30.880
best players, and Luke and Kyrie
or Dallas's two best players, they are

669
00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:37.280
not great defensive players. And we
saw it before game Thick Kawhian Dallas witch

670
00:49:37.360 --> 00:49:39.199
on to Luca, attack Luca.
And I think that that's gonna be the

671
00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:43.639
game plan from the Clippers, to
say make these guys two way players the

672
00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:46.599
entire series and make them have to
score and defend the entire time. I

673
00:49:46.760 --> 00:49:50.480
like the Clippers in that scenario,
Adam, Now, I mean they're gonna

674
00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:52.119
make them work, They're gonna go
after them. That will slow them down

675
00:49:52.159 --> 00:49:57.400
on the other end. I hear
you. I just top ten defense for

676
00:49:57.480 --> 00:50:00.360
forty percent of the season is real
to me. They're doing it collectively with

677
00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:07.159
team defense somehow, some way.
Uh. Let's hear from Russell Westbrook post

678
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:12.199
game after he had a fifteen,
fifteen and fifteen ball game. First to

679
00:50:12.280 --> 00:50:15.960
do it in a Clippers uniform.
Here he was on ballet Sports with kt

680
00:50:16.159 --> 00:50:22.920
LA with David Pinglore. First clip
was the franchise history. You need to

681
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:28.159
have fifteen points. You had sixteen, fifteen boards, fifteen assists. What

682
00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:34.519
a game. Wild game. I
didn't like it any game then first and

683
00:50:34.599 --> 00:50:40.320
fore, Mo'm so grateful, thanks
say from Mayer to stay ready whatever come

684
00:50:40.400 --> 00:50:45.519
my way. I'm grateful, grateful
for my se manson. You know time

685
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:49.960
there's a little un I mean,
so Hill went fuss and the Row got

686
00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:52.000
to play. Get ready for the
Marls. James obviously out. You get

687
00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:55.079
the start, and you brought so
much energy. I mean that first quarter,

688
00:50:55.239 --> 00:50:59.000
first half, which is pretty much
unbelievable. Yeah, that's what I

689
00:50:59.079 --> 00:51:00.239
knew. Man. My job is
a bring energy and that for every night.

690
00:51:01.440 --> 00:51:04.840
We got to whatever the team needs. That's what I'm here for.

691
00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:07.840
Lead whatever the coaches have asks me
to doing. It's been a long year.

692
00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:09.840
And we're just getting started us that
time. We're here for us.

693
00:51:09.920 --> 00:51:13.400
I've never been a part of a
quarter like that, the first quarter,

694
00:51:13.519 --> 00:51:15.079
how dire. It's like what I
haven't been. I'm happy to be a

695
00:51:15.159 --> 00:51:17.760
part of it. With the times
sat as Acohoman, we have so many

696
00:51:17.760 --> 00:51:22.719
of the weapmons and you know we
got why now, James All, let's

697
00:51:22.760 --> 00:51:24.400
taking out with the winnisows a love
of the great incline with this team so

698
00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:29.599
and a Pacific Division title for the
first time in ten years. How about

699
00:51:29.639 --> 00:51:31.800
that? That's amazing. Man.

LA tonight and that was a banger with

703
00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:45.159
the beat underneath it. There was
Russell Westbrook with David Pinglore and KTLA five

704
00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:50.199
Clippers win what o five to ninety
two in Phoenix over the Suns. They

705
00:51:50.320 --> 00:51:52.360
run it back. It's a home
