00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.240
The game is over. Paul George
money in the pain, but the postgame

2
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:09.759
reaction has just begne Cowhi Leonard is
so smooth in the mid range. This

3
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.199
is Clippers Lockeroo, a recap of
today's game and a look ahead on your

4
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:18.760
home for LA Clippers Basketball. And
now your host, You, sir,

5
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:25.280
are a bad man, Adam Ousley. Clippers sweep them back to back.

6
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.920
They win one twenty four to one
thirteen in Toronto after the big comeback last

7
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.159
night in Detroit. Welcome into your
postgame show coming up. Second half highlights.

8
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.439
You'll hear from the head coach in
Toron Low and the players after this

9
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:41.159
one. But quickly, let's pause
ten seconds for station identification. Here on

10
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:47.119
the Los Angeles Clippers Radio network,
this is LA Clippers Basketball AM five seventy

11
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:52.960
KLAC Los Angeles, ninety eight seven
KYSR HD two Los Angeles and iHeart Radio

12
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.520
Station. We're rejoined by your voice
of the Clippers, Noah Eagle in Toronto.

13
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.399
How about that third quarter from the
Clippers, Noah, the seemed to

14
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.599
pull away there. It never got
closer than what twelve, at least till

15
00:01:03.599 --> 00:01:07.879
the very end. Correct. Well, you know, obviously the eleven point

16
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.319
overall margin of victory, but yes, twelve was really where it got to

17
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.159
and the Clippers extended twenty two twenty
three. So Toronto did a good job

18
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.560
of fighting, but a thirty seven
to twenty sixth third quarter the opposite of

19
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.799
what we've seen in recent weeks from
the Clippers. This is how they need

20
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.200
to play and that how many times
have we talked about this, Adam that

21
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.200
third quarters the Golden State Warriors during
their five year just dominant run, and

22
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.000
even then last year when they went
to the NBA Championship once again and took

23
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.200
another one home, it was the
third quarter that they owned that. It

24
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.519
was their quarter every single night.
You knew they were gonna come out,

25
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.959
make the necessary adjustments, play the
full twelve minutes and either extend what was

26
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:48.599
a narrow lead, or they could
be down eight ten points and go into

27
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:52.959
the fourth up six eight ten points. It was that type of level of

28
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.879
dominance. And if the Clippers can
find that, that's championship DNA. That's

29
00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.959
what championship teams do. They find
ways to extend leads, or to get

30
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:05.239
leads, or make the necessary adjustments
when they have the opportunity to do so,

31
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.360
and there's no better opportunity than coming
out of halftime. So I thought

32
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:10.280
today was a really good step in
the right direction for the Clippers. And

33
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:15.400
even with Kawhi Leonard not just completely
dominating the game again, I thought he

34
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.360
was a very balanced, very under
control game for Kawhi on the one turnover

35
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.680
tonight, thirty five minutes or slightly
slightly under, but thirty four minute,

36
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.680
thirty six seconds, that's the most
I think he's played all season. I'll

37
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.120
have to double check that. But
fifteen point seven rebounds, eight assists,

38
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.800
five of twelve shooting, he didn't
dominate. So to get a win like

39
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.520
this without Kawai dominating shows just the
potential of what this Clipper team looks like.

40
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.560
And now with Norman Powell playing the
way he's playing, with Paul George

41
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.759
playing the way he's playing, and
we've seen this from Avizza Zoobots all season

42
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:47.400
long, this is nothing new.
And he knew you heard what he said,

43
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.280
Well, you know, I'm the
most physical player on the floor.

44
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.680
I love the mentality. That's what
you need to have from your starting center.

45
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.199
This is a great team win,
and Zoo win from laying it up

46
00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.759
in the first half to just throwing
it down seemingly with every bucket he made

47
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.400
in the second half. He was
an absolute force out there with twenty three

48
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.840
and sixteen. A beast, a
Croatian monster in this game. Twenty three

49
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.520
and sixteen is one thing, but
to get to the free throw line for

50
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:15.280
twelve attempts which the other thing.
And that's what I like to see a

51
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:19.120
Visa Zubots because he is a good
free throw shooter, and he showed that

52
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:22.479
again today nine of twelve from the
line. He's seen his percentage rise over

53
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.599
the last couple of weeks after a
sluggish start. He'll be at about seventy

54
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.960
or even slightly above seventy percent now
on the season. If he's taken ten

55
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.840
free throws a game, that's basically
seven points on the board and sometimes eight.

56
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:36.000
We've seen him shooting the eighty percents
in his career, so him being

57
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.280
aggressive just earned them points. And
we've seen this from the Clippers too.

58
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.000
When they get to the line,
it kind of gets them in rhythm a

59
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.639
little bit, it gets a lot
it almost it trickles to everything else.

60
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.000
Right, the three start to fall
a little bit more. The ball movement

61
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.000
looks a little bit better. They're
under control because they can set their defense

62
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.319
so the defense looks better. Free
throws can be a great equalizer, and

63
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.439
I think the Clippers did a good
job of taking advantage of the times they

64
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.680
could get to the line tonight,
going nineteen of twenty three. Toronto went

65
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.080
twenty one of twenty six to the
line. But the biggest difference in this

66
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:09.039
game three point shooting, and the
Clippers continue to shoot it well from three

67
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.879
forty percent tonight fifteen of thirty eight
Toronto. They have been one of the

68
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.800
poorest three point shooting teams in the
NBA this season. They went six to

69
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:19.759
twenty three. And I said it
before the game and during the game.

70
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:24.759
The Raptors are nine and two when
they make twelve or more threes this year.

71
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:30.600
After tonight they are three and seventeen
when they failed to make twelve threes

72
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.319
and six threes isn't gonna cut it
now. Fred Van Vleet only plays twenty

73
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.240
three minutes in this game because of
the back injury. Malachi Flinn's a good

74
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.720
shooter and showed it again. He
went two of three from downtown Gary.

75
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:45.399
Trent went two of four, so
their bench four of seven from three point

76
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:49.680
territory. The rest of their team. Their starting unit went two for sixteen

77
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:54.439
from three. That's good defense from
the Clippers. A couple open missus,

78
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:58.000
no doubt, but good defense from
the Clippers. That's knowing the scouting report

79
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.120
and playing it perfectly to a team. You know, I'm with you.

80
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.639
They didn't need Kawhi with Leonard to
dominate, but I thought at times he

81
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:08.680
controlled the game with just making the
right reads on those assists and not turning

82
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:13.879
the basketball over. Yeah, that's
the reason I think this was such an

83
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.600
important win for the Clippers is because
of that. It's because it proved to

84
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.279
them that it's great to have Kauai
dominate. And we've seen him do it

85
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.800
right. We saw him do it
even in the Philly game when they didn't

86
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.680
win. He brought them back late
after they gave up the big lead.

87
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.959
He gets them back in front in
the fourth quarter. Sometimes they're gonna need

88
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.360
that, and come playoff time,
I can almost guarantee or promise that they're

89
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.160
going to need that. But for
right now, this is good. This

90
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:40.360
is a good sign that Norman Powell
or Paul George, or of Viza Zubats

91
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.439
or Reggie Jackson and it didn't happen
tonight. But a Marcus Morris can take

92
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.040
over a game for the Clippers and
find what they need offensively when they needed

93
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.319
the most. I mean Nick Patoum
again, it's big shots late in that

94
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.439
second half, ends up going three
of eight from downtown. Luke Kennard just

95
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.720
didn't have it tonight was oh for
three from three? How many nights is

96
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.839
Luke knar gonna take an O for
from three and you're gonna be the very

97
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.839
good playoff team from a year ago
by double digits. It just shows you

98
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:08.120
the depth of this team first and
foremost, but it also proves to themselves

99
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:10.759
like, hey, we can win
in multiple ways and that's as important as

100
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:15.040
anything in the NBA. Scary hours. Clippers next game coming up in Boston.

101
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.040
Speaking of tip time, Thursday is
at four thirty. We'll have Clippers

102
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:23.000
countdown starting at three thirty. Noah, great call. As always, We'll

103
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.240
talk to you in Beantown on Thursday. Oh you know, Adam, It's

104
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:33.759
funny because I'm pretty sure Bart Scott
was talking about going to Pittsburgh after Foxborough.

105
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:39.759
Can't wait, Adam coming up next. Second half highlights Clippers waiting one

106
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:44.279

over the Raptors. And you're listening to

107
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.040
the Los Angeles Clippers radio now and
from day to day. I'm sitting down

is the phone number. Let's get to

116
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:28.279
your second half highlights. Clippers lead
at the half by just four at sixty

117
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.279
to fifty six. But in that
third quarter, just like in the second,

118
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:35.360
Norman Powell came alive against his former
team. Leonard back to Canard,

119
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:39.160
right wing, down the right alleys, swing it, patom extra pass Powell

120
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:44.759
nearside corner three is on the way
at good Norman Powell sticks a big one

right wing, get it right back to

00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:57.920
Powell and they give and go and
he slammed with two springboard slam for Norman

124
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.680
Powell two minutes from haining in the
third It's ninety one seventy four and pala

Toronto. Was sixteen pal attacking on Flynn

126
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.920
down the right alley, pulls up
from twelve and hits another jumper eight point

127
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.879
five on the third quarter clock,
and pale is killing his former team.

128
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.000
What's twenty two? Norman Powell with
the eleven points in the third quarter,

129
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.680
just like he had eleven points in
the second quarter. And the Clippers won

130
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.399
the third quarter by eleven points and
led ninety seven to eighty two heading into

131
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:31.920
the fourth. And to close things
out, how about big Zoo Canard outside

132
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.799
Patuma left wing three two strong rebound
poked around Zubots, got it and slaps

the paint tonight George against Sanna Noobi.

134
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.840

00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:52.799

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.080
okay she was even bad. Dad

into Clipper Stock. Here's a new
sheriff in town. You won't be able

158
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.919
to deny it. If we're going
to go to the NBA Finals. I

159
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.559
believe it in my heart. This
is the best team in the history of

160
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:03.240
the franchise. I am all about
the Clipper nationler. This is Clippers talk.

161
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.639
They're trying to win the whole thing. A postgame look, it's your

165
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:31.159
Claw controlled the Raptors like he was
Chris Pratt one of those stupid Jurassic World

166
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.480
movies that I hate. Clippers win
in Toronto one twenty four till one thirteen.

170
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.519
Coming up on the show, we'll
have Charles Mockler on for some clips

171
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.919
and double dip. Plus you'll hear
from Coach Low and Norman Powell, who

172
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.320
was back playing in front of fans
for the first time in Toronto since he

173
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:03.120
left there went to poor. Now
with the Clippers and Clipper Nation, you

174
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.279
are blessed Norman Powell playing some one
of the best basketball of his career right

175
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.960
now. But I think it's very
sustainable on this Clippers team. He's never

176
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.960
been on a team this talented,
this stacked. You can say that Raptors

177
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:20.360
team was in twenty nineteen. I
think this Clippers team could have more talent.

178
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.440
He finished with twenty two off the
bench, eleven of his twenty two

179
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:30.159
in the second quarter, eleven of
his twenty two in the third quarter,

180
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:33.080
a couple of huge throwdowns, one
in the second half of a beautiful feed

181
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.799
from Kawhi Leonard, who led them
with eight assists. And that's why I

182
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.440
say the Claw controlled this ball game. He didn't have to dominate with the

183
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.080
scoring, just five of twelve,
took just twelve shots, had fifteen points.

184
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.919
Because I told your pregame one of
my keys was the Raptors. They

185
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:56.559
are the kings of getting the ball
out of your SuperStar's hands and making somebody

186
00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.879
else beat you. But if you're
superstar was an elite playmaker, and Kawhi

187
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.120
certainly looked like that in this one. You can find the open man and

188
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.720
you can beat him that way,
and that's what he did over and over

189
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:15.080
again. He could have had four
or five more assists if the Clippers knocked

190
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.799
down a few more shots, but
he had some great kickouts to three point

191
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:24.720
shooters and just seemingly always made the
right basketball play when it was there to

192
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.799
be made, like in the first
half when he was quadruple teamed by the

193
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.080
Raptors and found Norman Powell for his
first three pointer, first of two.

194
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.960
That's what makes Kawhi Learns so special. He can control a basketball game in

195
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:41.919
many different facets. Today it was
with his passing, and they don't win

196
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:46.279
this game without him. Second night
of a back to back, they sweep

197
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.480
the back to back, coming off
the big fourteen point comeback with three minutes

198
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.039
left last night in Detroit. They
get Kauai back. He goes back to

199
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.600
Toronto along with Norman Powell. This
is a huge victory for the Clippers.

200
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:03.120
I don't know if he said at
post game. We'll find out in a

201
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.720
little bit here, but I gotta
think the Clippers are feeling like that right

202
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:13.919
now, and so is Kawhi Leonard. Because they had twenty seven assists on

203
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:22.360
forty five made shots. That is
elite. That is getting the ball to

204
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:26.200
the right places at the right time. That's assisting on over sixty percent of

205
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:31.360
your makes. But it wasn't just
them too. It wasn't just Paul George

206
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.279
with his twenty three points on nine
of eighteen shooting. Couldn't get a call

207
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.679
and goes to the free throw line. It was funny. Late in the

208
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.559
fourth quarter, Raptors had at two. Within twelve, We're making a little

209
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.919
bit of a run after the Clippers
led by as many as twenty three,

210
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.799
I want to say, and Paul
George goes down the right alley, puts

211
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:50.559
up a tough layup, looked like
he was hit, doesn't get the call.

212
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.279
So the next possession down just goes
behind his back, puts Scottie Barnes

213
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.799
on skates and sticks a jumper,
which I think was the dagger in this

214
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.159
would It's like, Okay, you're
not gonna give me any of these calls

215
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.720
at the basket, at the rim, I'll just do some fancy dribbling,

216
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.080
lose my defender, make it look
like the N one Mixtape Tour, and

217
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:15.200
hit a tough jumper. Five of
nine from the outside. Recently, we've

218
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.320
seen Paul George take and make a
lot of three pointers, and that's a

219
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.639
good sign. We always looked to
see he take ten threes. Well,

220
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.799
in three of his last four games, he's taken nine or more. Very

221
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:31.480
good sign from him. And the
aggressiveness was much more steady in this game

222
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.399
than what we saw in Philly,
where he took half as many shots in

223
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.120
the first half as he did,
or excuse me, in the second half

224
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:43.679
as he did in the first half
of that one. He stayed aggressive.

225
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:50.080
Kawhi Leonard went out, it was
early second quarter and Paul George scored a

226
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.639
quick five points and then Norman Powell
took over with those eleven points he had

227
00:15:54.679 --> 00:16:00.120
in the second quarter. Just a
scoring machine. He's different than Lou william

228
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.080
and Jamal Crawford in that way.
He's just much more efficient than both guys,

229
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:08.320
Quicker than both guys, the way
he can get to the basket with

230
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:14.759
ease. That's what makes him so
special. He has burst. You're seeing

231
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.360
it, and this is coming off
the groin injury, but he has hit

232
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:23.679
the ground running coming into this game. I said this during the pregame show,

233
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:27.559
but Norman Powell and I'm looking for
the stat here. As I mentioned,

234
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:32.039
he is on one of his best
runs but last fifteen games coming into

235
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:37.600
tonight, scoring eighteen a game in
just twenty four minutes while shooting fifty one

236
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:41.000
percent from the field forty four percent
from the outside. And during that those

237
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:47.679
fifteen games was in double digit scoring
points wise, and all but one now

238
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:52.399
he gets twenty two off the bench
in twenty two minutes against his former squad,

239
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.960
and when the Clippers went on their
runs and really started to separate themselves

240
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:59.480
in that third quarter. That has
been a problem for them the last three

241
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:03.599
thirds. Coming into tonight, Clippers
were outscored by nine points, eight points,

242
00:17:03.680 --> 00:17:07.480
twelve points. Tonight in the third
quarter, they came out and won

243
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.559
it by eleven thirty seven, twenty
six, and they went into that fourth

244
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:15.759
quarter with some cushion, led by
as many as eighteen in that third quarter,

245
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:22.200
led by as many as twenty three
in the fourth, would hold on

246
00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:23.839
to win by eleven. And I
shouldn't say hold on it. I don't

247
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:30.640
think the game was that much in
doubt. But that number twenty three also

248
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:34.519
belongs to a Vita zubats I tweeted
that follow out of May. Early in

249
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:37.440
the game, in the first couple
of minutes, Zubos has to punish this

250
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:42.799
smaller Raptors team. And while he
had a good first half, I want

251
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:48.400
to say he had nine and nine, he was going for layups instead of

252
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:52.759
dunks. In the second half.
I think every shot he made, including

253
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.079
a beautiful alley off a pass from
Paul George in the fourth quarter, was

254
00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:02.640
a throwdown. Zoo was a four. I put up the old shack Reebok

255
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:04.799
logo. That's what he was looking
like. Finished with twenty three points,

256
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:08.920
sixteen boards, and his Noah Eagle
point out. He goes nine to twelve

257
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:14.720
from the free throw line. That's
big. Did miss a couple on the

258
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:19.440
fourth, but nine to twelve for
your big man. Making them pay at

259
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:23.799
the charity shipe as well. He
led everyone in the plus minus category,

260
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:30.920
was a plus fifteen. That's his
best game since returning from injury. Zubos

261
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:34.119
was great and he needed to be. They had the advantage find him.

262
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:37.400
He knew who was the most physical
player on the court. He said it

263
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:44.559
postgame with no Eagle and the Clippers
had that advantage. They finally really started

264
00:18:44.640 --> 00:18:48.359
to exploit it. Just find Big
Zoo and get out the way. But

265
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.759
there was great ball movement, there
was balanced scoring. Four players with twenty

266
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:57.079
or more, Zubos with twenty three. Reggie Jackson had an under the radar

267
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:03.920
stellar performance. Everything from him.
I think there was one floater the rest

268
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:10.599
all threes and buckets and layups right
at the rim. He was nine to

269
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:15.400
fifteen to get to his twenty points
and put a lot of downhill pressure on

270
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:19.279
the rim, twenty and thirty one
minutes, his best game since returning from

271
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:26.599
the injury. So some really good
performances heading in. So what's gonna be

272
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.119
a good one on Thursday in Boston? You know they're looking for revenge after

273
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.559
the Clippers beat him up in Los
Angeles. They win one twenty four to

274
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.240
one thirteen in Toronto over the Raptors. Raoul and Baldwin Park. Start things

275
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:49.839
off tonight here on Clippers Talk.
Rool, you're on, man, you're

276
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:55.440
killing me, Smalls. Damien in
LA. I didn't even screen this call,

277
00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:57.279
but I know it's Damien in Los
Angeles and he's not gonna let me

278
00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:03.759
down. Sir, Damian, what's
up? You're on Clippers Talk, Yo,

279
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.680
what's up? Adam? How's it
going? Man? Great win?

280
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:11.119
Great win? You know, I
really I can't say enough about the performance,

281
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:14.720
but I'll keep it brief because we
go over so much. I got

282
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:17.559
three things that I want to get
to. Man. First off, I

283
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:19.759
gotta get my game ball. Game
ball has to go to Zoo, you

284
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:23.119
know, And it was tough between
him and Norman Powell, but Zoo gave

285
00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:26.880
us everything that we need. I
got a new nickname for him. I'm

286
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:33.759
calling him to La Zoo. All
right, that's what I'm gonna do.

287
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.759
Man. You know, we started
from the bottom and now we're here.

288
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:42.160
Brother, Hey man, you know, Coach Lou went into this game and

289
00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:47.039
he asked Clippers, he said,
I better find your loving I better find

290
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:49.720
your heart. And we responded,
you know what I'm saying, like,

291
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:53.400
I mean, what a win.
Like. It's a different team from last

292
00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:59.720
night. They looked like they just
never turned back after that over time,

293
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:02.200
you know, and they just went
forward with it. It was great.

294
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:07.200
Yeah, the Clippers showing some improvements
out there and some growth, not relinquishing

295
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.319
a lead in this one. They
win by eleven, but they led by

296
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.039
as many as twenty three. He
never really felt they were in too much

297
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:19.240
danger. They were able to hit
big shots when they needed them, including

298
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:26.680
Nicholas a big three early in the
fourth quarter. Once you know that's what

299
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.960
he does. One at the eleven
minute mark, one at the nine minute

300
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.160
mark. I thought the Clippers just
hit a couple of those big shots when

301
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.319
they were going through a little bit
of a scoring slump. The Raptors were

302
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.440
starting to make some end roads and
then Reggie Jackson hits a floater and puts

303
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:48.640
the Clippers back up by fifteen.
Just little shots like that make all the

304
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:52.839
difference. I mentioned that step back
jumper from Paul George put them back up

305
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.839
by fourteen. They couldn't break it
down to single digits tonight. That's Toronto

306
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:03.440
Raptors after being down big and Betune
finished things off with the three pointer or

307
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:06.359
to put him up one twenty four
to one O nine. That was the

308
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:10.920
Dagger. Raptors weren't going to be
able to overcome that over the Clippers dead

309
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:15.839
body to keep up with the Drake
lines there. Clippers win with Drake and

310
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:22.319
attendance in Toronto one twenty four to
one thirteen. Norman Powell first time playing

311
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:27.279
in front of fans back in Toronto
since he left there after winning a ring.

312
00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:30.759
He had twenty two off the bench, one of his best games so

313
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:33.519
far as a Clipper. But I
still think the best is yet to come.

314
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.799
I mean, we've seen twenty two
points in just a quarter from Norman

315
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:41.119
Powell before when he came back to
bite his former team in the Blazers,

316
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.119
right before he got injured. So
that's how good he's been after a slow

317
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:49.599
start to this season and the Clippers
are finding something and maybe that victory in

318
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:55.960
the style and the fashion they wanted
in in Detroit, maybe they reminded themselves

319
00:22:55.960 --> 00:23:00.839
of who they are, and maybe
they have had enough of these close calls

320
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:03.400
with teams coming back on them that
they've learned their lesson in that way too.

321
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:07.759
We'll see they're going to be embosson
on Thursday. Should be a good

322
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.759
one. More on that, plus
coming up postgame audio from coach Lou and

323
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.640
the players. Clippers win one twenty
four to one thirteen in Toronto over the

324
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:19.440
Raptors. Jeff Mockler will join us
from clips and Dip two here on Clippers

325
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:23.519
Talk on the Los Angeles Clippers Radio
Network on a five seventy oli s fours

326
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:27.920
centric living is a big shrug.
I lie filled with That's what I love.

327
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:32.680
I love what plateau is, what
we're above. If it diss us,

328
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:34.519
we won't even think of. And
he got it. Count it from

329
00:23:34.559 --> 00:23:40.400
distance the odds on favorite to hoist
the Larry O'Brien heavily can test it and

330
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:45.799
it doesn't matter on the home of
your LA Clippers States, making my weight,

331
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:49.359
Oh fly skates the question I will
speak for cracks and wheat. The

332
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:56.519
combination made by Clippers went in Toronto
one four, one thirteen. They improved

333
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.359
a twenty one and fifteen on the
season. So we'll come back in the

334
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:03.759
Clippers stock. I'm Adam Moslin eight
six six ninety seven two five seventy eight

335
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:08.400
six six ninety seven two five seventy. I talked about Kawhi Leonard controlling this

336
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:12.839
game, doing it with his passing
and making some of those little plays that

337
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:17.559
fly under the radar that you forget
about. But with the Clippers up by

338
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:21.640
twelve with just under four minutes left
on the ball game, they were in

339
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:26.440
a proprecarious position as the Toronto Raptors
were trying to make a run and Reggie

340
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:30.519
Jackson missed a shot and Kawhi Leonard
got in there, boardman, gets paid,

341
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:34.279
gets the offensive rebound, puts it
back up and was fouled. Hits

342
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:41.119
both free throws and they go back
up by fourteen. Just little plays like

343
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.880
that from Kawhi And by the way, after that challenge by Nick Nurse,

344
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:51.279
anybody could have gone up for that
jump ball, and Kawhi Leonard faced up

345
00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:53.599
against Scottie Barnes and won the jump
ball if you want to know how his

346
00:24:53.680 --> 00:25:00.720
acl is feeling there, there was
some leadership there and just Kawhi feeling good.

347
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:04.400
He also had a tip in off
a miss from Norman Powell. He

348
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:07.839
tried to get it in, followed
his own shot and eventually got it to

349
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:12.039
go. Was one twenty one to
one oh seven. Just winning plays by

350
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:17.359
your superstar when you needed him most, and the Clippers win by eleven.

351
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:21.279
He was a plus eleven in Toronto
over the Raptors, who I know are

352
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:23.880
fifteen and eighteen. That is an
injury influenced record. They're better than that.

353
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:29.839
They're tenants seven now at home.
They're a really good defensive team.

354
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:36.359
Og Nanobi maybe your defensive player of
the year. He's spectacular and Kawai took

355
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:38.200
him to the woodshed a few different
times. He had a turnaround shot,

356
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:42.000
he hit over him. He had
a block on him, another Chase Down

357
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:47.200
block, speaking about his explosiveness.
He was called for the foul, but

358
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:52.359
Kawhi looked really good out there.
And now they're going and facing a Boston

359
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:55.440
Celtics team that is out for revenge
on the Clippers after what they did to

360
00:25:55.799 --> 00:26:00.839
them in LA just a few weeks
back. Eight six nine eight seven two

361
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:03.680
five seventy eight six six nine eight
seven two five seventy is the phone number

362
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:08.839
before we hear from Coach Low.
Let's go to Lenny in Inglewood. Is

363
00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:14.880
this Lenny? Lenny? What's up? Adam Moss? Lenny? What's up

364
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:18.559
here? Clippers Talk? I got
you, Lenny, I got you,

365
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:23.319
I got you Lenny? All right, I guess I'm on listening. You're

366
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:30.960
dropping jams on him. Man,
he said, uh PC, but og

367
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:37.240
on skates and he shook up block
and one mixtape. I like that,

368
00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:42.680
the professor word Smith. Good wind
to night, though, man, really

369
00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:48.480
good wind to night. I like
the fact that you know there's three,

370
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:57.279
you know, our three scores between
Kauai PG and Norman Pow. It's it's

371
00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:03.160
it's it's like almost avery. How
we'd line up with some of these other

372
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:10.559
cats, because because you take Boston, he take Nets and particularly the Nests,

373
00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:14.440
the way that they're they're they're they're
they're bomber. Right now, you

374
00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:18.599
gotta walk into the gym and to
be able to put up eighty points on

375
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:22.240
the board before the game even starts, and with Norm Powell coming off the

376
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:25.640
bench playing like that, and to
mean, nobody else plays like him,

377
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:33.279
because you're right, pg's finesse,
the wise power and power is explosive and

378
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.480
that's that is a three prong attack. And now that's fourth. That fourth

379
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:41.519
attack is Luke Kennard. And you
know, like you said, I don't

380
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.680
think he's gonna go like that.
You know, uh, three games where

381
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:51.720
he goes only hits what he got
any points tonight, but as long as

382
00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:57.599
he could find his stroke. Man, we don't go d because Eva is

383
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:00.599
holding it down in the middle of
which I like. But even when we

384
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:04.039
get even when we got to go
small ball, we could put points on

385
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:08.400
the board. And Nick Batoum is
just I mean, I almost want to

386
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:11.480
say, man, he's the leader
of his team. You know what he

387
00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:15.480
said the other day to get those
guys together, like we've been here before.

388
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:21.119
That's just long, that's just experience, man, veteran leadership. Just

389
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:25.920
you know, I mean the voice
of you know, of calm in the

390
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:29.920
storm. So yeah, very good
win tonight. And I like the fact

391
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:33.839
that you said we want it and
quiet and have to dominate. You know,

392
00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:37.599
we're rounding in the rounding in the
form and uh yeah, so good

393
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:40.240
things. They had met for the
Clippers. I've been excited. Lenny a

394
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:44.640
great phone call and good call on
Nick Batoum. I've been saying it for

395
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:49.240
a while. He is the Clippers. He embodies Clippers culture, their identity,

396
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:59.559
his leadership invaluable. You can't quantify
just how much Nick Batoum means to

397
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:03.519
this team. He is his doc
Rivers once said about another player unsteatable.

398
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.279
Now the stats have been pretty good. He's been shooting over forty three percent

399
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:11.559
from the outside. He had nine, he had seven to assist a steal.

400
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:17.200
There was a play. I marked
this because the passing was so elite,

401
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:22.240
But it was Kennard attacking who went
over four in this game. By

402
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:25.480
the way, it doesn't matter.
That's how deep this Clippers team is.

403
00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:32.279
Kennard driving, kicking it out to
Batoum, and I want to say,

404
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:37.839
yeah, I was Norman Powell putting
up a three pointer. It was just

405
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.720
elite ball movement. Hot potato,
Idaho, hot potato by the Clippers.

406
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:48.039
They were really good in that area. But Nick Batoum is one of those

407
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.680
nexus points, a connector. He
just makes everything work. Someone set on

408
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:56.519
Twitter I retweeted it. But Nick
Batouma is like the long piece and tetris.

409
00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:03.720
That's we're always looking for to save
you. All right, let's hear

410
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.200
from coach lu post game. Clippers
win one twenty four to one thirteen in

411
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:11.759
Toronto over the Raptors. There was
coach, but it was what seven zero

412
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.279
or seven two had a look confusion
and start the game, and I thought,

413
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:18.039
I have to call that time out
and just got everybody locked in.

414
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:18.960
I thought he did a good job
just playing it all the way through the

415
00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:22.480
game for forty eight minutes. And
this is one of our most complete games

416
00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:26.920
of the season. And just like
you know, no excuses, like every

417
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.440
team plays back to backs, every
team has playing trouble, but just to

418
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:32.960
come out and you know, a
good team like this and play the way

419
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:34.519
we did, especially on their home
floor, it was a good thing to

420
00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:38.200
see. It's fun to see Norm
have that kind of game from this oh

421
00:30:38.319 --> 00:30:41.519
for sure, you know, come
back and gets his tribute and I'm playing

422
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.559
well like that. It was good
to see and so the guys were happy

423
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:47.240
for him, and I'm happy for
him as well. So it was it

424
00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:52.240
was good. Coach. What was
that conversation like with Kawhi about Wine playing

425
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:55.119
this game? Was there a short
conversation. Did he just tell you that

426
00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:59.359
he wanted to do it or how
did that go? Toronto? Great,

427
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:03.599
that's what he said, and we
went back to back Detroit of Toronto,

428
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:11.599
Toronto, short conversation, Doctor forty
one minutes last night, come in and

429
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:17.200
you know, two he did on
the glass again, just how impressively been

430
00:31:17.319 --> 00:31:18.920
by what he's been able to do
this year. Yeah, he's been great,

431
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:22.039
you know, and my problems just
trying not to run him down too

432
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.759
early in the season, you know, and so he's been amazing for us

433
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:29.559
all year and playing forty one minutes
last night, and you know, just

434
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:30.960
try to get his minutes down as
best as we could. And so Nico

435
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:33.079
him came in. They did a
good job. Our small line up was

436
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:36.720
pretty good tonight, and so he
was able to get him down to thirty

437
00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:38.920
one. But he was a monster
on the glass. Ten offensive rebounds,

438
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:44.160
you know, or three at the
basket verticality, and then he did a

439
00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:45.759
good job of guarding Scottie Barnes and
he just did a lot for us.

440
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.279
And so off of back to back
for big Man, you know, he

441
00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:52.480
really did a good job tonight.
Coach how White had a really good game.

442
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.400
Maybe I think from some story,
butts so I'm worth h alcs.

443
00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:02.519
Iimportune utes to up like this a
player. What is you know, it's

444
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:07.400
very important, you know, especially
coming back to Toronto, just having you

445
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:09.480
know, your star player just taking
the defense gives him, not forcing it,

446
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:13.519
not worrying about shots. And your
team was gonna double team, and

447
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:16.200
like we knew, Nick wasn wasn't
gonna let him play. So you know

448
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:19.799
when he double team and triple team, just making the right reading, the

449
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:22.720
easy pass, and we got a
lot of shots that we didn't make tonight.

450
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:24.240
You know that we got a lot
of open three So I love the

451
00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:27.880
offense. You know, the first
three quarters of just how we generate open

452
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:30.599
shots and they double team. Kai
made the simple past simple play, and

453
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:32.640
that's when it takes to win.
You know, you got a sacrifice.

454
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:36.240
When teams are gonna do that,
we have to pick them apart. But

455
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:37.559
you gotta move the basketball and make
the right play. He did it all

456
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:44.559
night. Oh by the way,
Clippers had just nine turnovers, six in

457
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:47.640
the first half, just three in
the second half. That's another way you

458
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:52.559
can hold onto a lead before we
break. Here, Javier and Lahabra heights.

459
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:54.519
Javier, what's up? You're on
Clippers stop without hm, Austin,

460
00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:59.160
I don't can hear me, I
can hear you. I don't know what

461
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:05.240
dull to be on far Uh real
quick, you took the wars out of

462
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:07.720
my mouth. You just said it's
a couple of secons ago. I can't

463
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:12.599
believe nobody brought this up about he
had nine turnovers for the game, and

464
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:15.920
that's that's a key there, nine
turnovers. Also, I'm you know,

465
00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:21.759
I always look at stats, and
I'm looking at the stats here and what

466
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:24.880
they made fifteen threes and they shot
at what eighty two percent on the feet

467
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:29.680
to line. That's that's the that's
the way to do it. And also

468
00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:32.440
look at the statue under starters.
I guess Tylou did want to win this

469
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:37.640
game because I think most of the
starters did play over thirty minutes. So

470
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:42.680
that was a good sign there.
Next thing is real quick at him uh

471
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:46.200
zoobok. Like you said earlier,
he had to take over and he did.

472
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:51.240
That was the lueback that we saw
in November, so that's good for

473
00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:54.319
him. And then Norman Pow I
mean, what twenty two points, that's

474
00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:59.720
that's the normal pow. We we
were used to, so you know,

475
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:06.680
acting is just hopefully john Wall made
attention and saw that the Clippers only he

476
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:09.280
turned the ball over nine times.
Hopefully when he comes back, you know

477
00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:14.480
he protects the ball and doesn't turn
the ball over because you know how he's

478
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:19.320
been playing, so he's been a
little bit erratic. I appreciate the phone

479
00:34:19.360 --> 00:34:22.039
call high here and I apologize to
Raoul earlier. Maybe he just couldn't hear

480
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:24.320
something wrong on the phone lines to
nine. I don't know what it is.

481
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:29.679
John Wall has been up and down, especially in the month of December,

482
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:34.039
but wasn't in the game for this
one. He hasn't played back to

483
00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:37.159
back so far this year either,
But they had enough. They had plenty.

484
00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:42.159
Luke Nard goes oh for four and
it doesn't matter. The best three

485
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:47.320
point shooter in the league, a
guy flirting with fifty fifty ninety splits that

486
00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:51.960
hasn't been done since the nineties with
Steve Kerr with a short and three point

487
00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:57.280
line. Clippers unreal the amount of
talent they've accumulated. Credits to the front

488
00:34:57.360 --> 00:35:00.360
office. Norman Powell is a big
part of this. I always he thought

489
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:05.039
he'd be the perfect fit next to
Kawai and Paul George. And now you're

490
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:09.320
seeing it because he's one of those
missing links when it comes to getting easy

491
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:15.440
baskets, rim pressure points in the
paint, gain to the free throw line.

492
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:21.159
Norman Powell provides all that speed and
this is this is as explosive as

493
00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:24.320
I've ever seen him. Look with
some of these dunks he's had since returning

494
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:29.280
from the groin injury, it's been
unbelievable, including a couple of poster dunks

495
00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:35.000
he missed. He's got bounce.
Clippers win once twenty four to one thirteen.

496
00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:38.440
They bounce out of Toronto. They're
going to Boston. Tiptime Thursday is

497
00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:42.840
at four thirty. Well, I've
Clippers countown at three thirty. Coming up

500
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:52.960

here on Clipper Stock on Amp five seventy

501
00:35:53.039 --> 00:36:07.280
LS fours. Speech they're now was
blocked by George. This is La Clippers

502
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:10.360
basketball. He is a one man
ricket crawl and defensive man. On the

503
00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:17.800
home of your LA Clippers. Last
time that five times on my neck,

504
00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:22.639
it was no smart on my BP. Last time that I was winning Toronto

505
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:28.800
one twenty four to one thirteen as
they dominate the second half and improved with

506
00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:34.159
twenty one and fifteen on the season. Next up the Boston Celtics in Boston

507
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:37.719
Thursday. Welcome back into Clippers stock. I'm autam Oslin. We'll get to

508
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:40.000
your phone calls at eight six six

six ninety seven two five seventy and
you can get to me on Twitter at

00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:47.079
follow adam Ay. But you know
the song and know what it means.

511
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:51.880
It ain't the bat signal, It's
a stash signal, I guess with Charles

512
00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:57.719
Mackler in this case, Charles Mockler
from Clips in Dip is joining us does

513
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:00.320
the tripod as we're doing once tomorrow
with William Updike as well. Charles,

514
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:04.440
thanks for doing this tonight. Who
do you give the gold medal too in

515
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:08.480
this game? Oh man? The
gold medal for this game? I'm stealing

516
00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:12.840
Southern from the law of the jam. All right, little it's that joke.

517
00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:16.159
Can we give it to all four
guys who hit twenty points. I

518
00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:20.519
mean, I might go zoo.
The sixteen boards were huge. We just

519
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:23.639
had so much efficiency from guys.
But I think in terms of the field

520
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:28.000
goodness of it, you gotta give
it to Norm Powell. First time back,

521
00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:30.320
I'm in Toronto with fans, coming
off the injury. He's just fantastically

522
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:34.519
efficient. Again, he looked charged
up, So I think I gotta give

523
00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:37.480
it to Norm Powell tonight, charged
up, super charged, twenty two points

524
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:42.320
off the bench in twenty two minutes
on eight of fourteen, shooting back in

525
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:46.599
Toronto, got his flowers, his
tribute video. They've been very appreciative of

526
00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:52.320
he and Kawhi Leonard. I thought
Kawhi really controlled this game with his passing.

527
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:57.039
You knew the double and triple and
quadruple teams at times. We're coming

528
00:37:57.079 --> 00:38:00.599
from Toronto. That's just how they
played defensively, That's what they like to

529
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:04.480
do. But Kawhi was ready for
it and just made the right pass over

530
00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:08.800
and over again. E'd assist to
one turnover. Yeah, I mean Norm

531
00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:13.679
said at post game that everyone just
kind of worked well around the A tenth

532
00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:16.559
attention that Kawhi and PG were getting
from the Raptors. It's something that a

533
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:21.440
bunch of people in Raptors Twitter we're
tweeting about not feeling too excited about it,

534
00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:24.320
considering how well everyone was able to
move off the ball when it hit

535
00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:28.960
our two main guys. But I
think clips fan got to see, if

536
00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:32.559
you weren't really aware of it now, just how important Kawhi is this team.

537
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:37.800
Yeah, he tends to be,
you know, in top five conversations

538
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:44.000
right now already. It's funny people
have been saying this season Kawhi doesn't look

539
00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:47.159
right. He looks washed, and
I don't know what they're watching at times

540
00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:52.239
because speaking of charged up, he's
moving the ball to the front court with

541
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:55.360
more pace than I think he played
with his first couple of years as a

542
00:38:55.400 --> 00:39:00.119
Clipper. It just seems like he's
intent on speeding things up and helping guys

543
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:04.559
get to their spots quicker, because
we know how much more efficient this offense

544
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:08.639
is when they get into their sets
faster. Yeah, I mean, he's

545
00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:13.079
kind of had a couple of ramp
up periods for the Clippers, but it

546
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:15.880
feels like, I mean, it
is hard to deny that he just is

547
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:20.679
moving with a bit more pep in
his step. I know the Raptors do

548
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:23.400
a really good job of maybe too
good of a job of focusing on stars.

549
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:27.119
So tonight he did only get full
field goal attempts. But you're right,

550
00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:30.519
he's getting guys, you know,
kind of locked into where they're supposed

551
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:32.159
to be a lot sooner, and
that's just going to help the Clippers so

552
00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:36.039
much, specially when it comes to
playoff time, when the half court offense

553
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:39.239
becomes that much more important with a
shortened rotation, which we did kind of

554
00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:43.639
see tonight with only you know,
eight guys playing over twelve minutes or so.

555
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:46.000
But you'll love to see, you
know, Kawai the general Leonard of

556
00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:52.199
getting into farm. He goes for
his season's minute high at just under thirty

557
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:55.800
five minutes. Slowly but surely he's
getting back to his usual minutes and we're

558
00:39:55.840 --> 00:40:00.599
not even in twenty twenty three left
yet. That is a great sign.

559
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:04.039
So was what we saw from a
Vizza Zoo boss, because two things you

560
00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:07.719
knew were what we're going to happen
tonight. The Toronto Raptors. Defensively,

561
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:10.519
they were going to load up against
the Superstars. But also they play small,

562
00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:15.039
they don't really have many options to
anything else, And I vizza zoobots

563
00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:20.760
had an opportunity to punish them,
and that's what he did. Yeah,

564
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:23.360
I mean, twenty three and sixteen
by itself is very impressive, but when

565
00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:29.159
you look at the fact that he
had ten offensive boards against the Toronto Raptors

566
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:31.159
team, who it's hard to get
offensive boards again, I mean, it

567
00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:35.639
really helped set the tone early and
kind of keep the tone set, if

568
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:37.840
that makes sense. We love seeing
Zoo get over thirty minutes. I mean,

569
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:43.800
he was a team best plus fifteen
tonight it was you know, nine

570
00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:46.239
to twelve. He's great from the
free throw line too. So Zoo continues

571
00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:52.400
to have his best season in the
NBA. And yeah, you know what

572
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:54.280
I'm this was a fifteenth double double. He's already had as many as he

573
00:40:54.360 --> 00:40:57.559
did all the last year. And
you know, like you just said,

574
00:40:57.599 --> 00:41:00.760
we're not even in to twenty twenty
three yet. So Zoo's an iron man,

575
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:05.800
which is probably at one point was
his biggest, you know, piece

576
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:07.599
of value of the Clippers. But
now he's just stepped up so well defensively,

577
00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:12.920
and this season or this off season
with zero basket seems to have made

578
00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:15.280
him a little more assertive on the
other side of the ball, so I

579
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:19.960
mean, just it keeps going up
into the right for zoom, big zoo,

580
00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:22.920
a force on both ends right now. Sorry, Carl Tart, and

581
00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:25.800
I'm sorry for that indirect he caught
a stray. I don't know. I

582
00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:30.599
don't know. I had to go
there, Nichols Batum, I think I

583
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:36.280
saw you tweeted it out at Clippers
Pod, but somebody had one of the

584
00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:40.880
best tweets I've seen all season long
so far, saying Nick Batum is that

585
00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:46.599
long extension piece and tetris that you're
always looking for because it just makes everything

586
00:41:46.639 --> 00:41:52.360
else work and you just clear a
bunch of blocks at once. Yeah.

587
00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:55.760
I mean, if you look at
lineups and I don't have all the days

588
00:41:55.800 --> 00:42:00.199
in front of the lineups with the
Nick Batoum and Luke tend to be ones

589
00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:04.719
that played pretty well for the Clippers. And this is because not only can

590
00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:07.079
Nick Batoum move the ball well,
he can shoot the ball very quickly and

591
00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:13.400
very well. He constantly just makes
the right decision, and you know,

592
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:16.079
it's great seeing him play with kind
of the top of the line lineup sick.

593
00:42:16.119 --> 00:42:20.440
He should be playing with with everyone
healthy or as healthy as the Clippers.

594
00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:23.320
He can be with only missing John
Wall today compared to having to kind

595
00:42:23.320 --> 00:42:28.320
of clean up worst lineups defensively,
so just being able to slot him in,

596
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:34.000
you know, next to Morris and
PG and Kauai, you just absolutely

597
00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:36.679
want to see it. We saw
the lineup of Kennard, Norm, Kawai,

598
00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:40.719
Morrison, Battum and it was just
fantastic to see the switchability and the

599
00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:45.280
offense that they can bring together.
Nick Batum hadn't hit a shot until the

600
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:51.400
fourth quarter and then all three of
his mates were from three just big shots

601
00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:54.639
to keep Toronto at bay. Because
there had been some worry with the Clippers

602
00:42:55.079 --> 00:43:00.800
blowing leads recently, most recently in
Philadelphia up by Mony, that a team

603
00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:05.079
could come back on them, this
seemed like, you know, a character

604
00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:08.159
building type of win, even going
back to yesterday. Maybe there was some

605
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:13.480
carryover when you come back on a
team down fourteen after you blow a fifteen

606
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:16.000
point lead and find a way to
get the victory. It just seems like

607
00:43:16.079 --> 00:43:20.159
the Clippers things are starting to click
for them, and maybe there's some vibes

608
00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:23.239
from that big comeback victory a few
years ago over the Atlanta Hawks, where

609
00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:28.039
Nick Batum said something was born out
of that game. Maybe we're seeing that

610
00:43:28.159 --> 00:43:32.000
once again with this new group.
I think we might be. I loved

611
00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:35.719
how Tyler kind of kept going with
more. He was having a great game,

612
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:38.119
so I think he got some extensive
run. But we're now two days

613
00:43:38.159 --> 00:43:44.400
past the Nicholas Batum deadline of the
Clippers starting to turn around around Christmas,

614
00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:47.559
and he's pretty on point with it
so far. I'm gonna also check my

615
00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:52.320
gant chart to see where we're at
progress wise, but he's pretty on point

616
00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:54.440
with that. It is funny the
game yesterday. I woke up and almost

617
00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:59.400
felt like we lost it based on
kind of what the timeline was looking like

618
00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:01.800
in things like that. But there's
not a lot of There's not too much.

619
00:44:01.800 --> 00:44:04.920
You gonna be upset at two and
oh on a back to back like

620
00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:08.440
this over the holidays. Yeah,
And Kawhi Leonard makes all the difference in

621
00:44:08.519 --> 00:44:13.960
this one in Toronto, controling the
ball game, Clippers winning one twenty four

622
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:20.360
to one thirteen over the Raptors.
He is Charles Chuck Updyke, excuse me,

623
00:44:20.480 --> 00:44:22.840
Charles Mockler. William Updyke, also
of Clips and Dip. He'll be

624
00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:27.159
on with us, I think on
Thursday. But We got a tripod tomorrow

625
00:44:27.760 --> 00:44:30.639
with myself, William Updyke and Charles
Mockler. Charles, thanks for doing this

626
00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:36.519
tonight. Thanks for having mus go
clip Coming up next, You're gonna hear

627
00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:40.880
from Norman Powell post game after the
Clippers go back to Toronto. He was

628
00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:46.079
playing in front of fans for the
first time since he left them and left

629
00:44:46.159 --> 00:44:51.039
him wanting more. He had twenty
two and twenty two minutes. Clippers win

630
00:44:51.119 --> 00:44:53.239
by eleven over the Raptors, and
you're listening the Clippers top. You're on

631
00:44:53.280 --> 00:45:00.840
Amp five seventy only Sports, trying
to take away from an play again and

632
00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:05.480
pray for you and people. He
got it. Count it from distance,

633
00:45:05.679 --> 00:45:09.280
the odds on favorite to hoist the
Larry o'bright heavily contested, and it doesn't

634
00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:17.159
matter on the home of your La
Clippers. Still Luca did one. Sorry,

635
00:45:17.159 --> 00:45:22.639
I got distracted. Clippers win one
twenty four to one thirteen in Toronto

636
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:29.199
over the Raptors, Kawhi with eight
assists to one turnover four players with twenty

637
00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:31.400
or more and Kawhi wasn't one of
them. Zoo Boss Reggie Jackson, Paul

638
00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:36.679
George and Norman Powell off the bench
Clippers get the victory. They dominate the

639
00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:39.320
second half. They improved to twenty
one and fifteen before we hear from Norman

640
00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:43.679
Powell. Let's get to Morrison,
Long Beach, Morris, what's up here?

I'll see you thay behave yourself.
Oh the juvenile remix once again?

647
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:15.360
Amazing Morrison Long Beach. Everyone,
all right, let's hear from Norman Powell.

648
00:46:15.519 --> 00:46:19.519
He went eight to fourteen, two
or three from distance, got to

649
00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:22.440
the ram and threw it down multiple
times to get to his twenty two points.

650
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:25.400
And here he was on Valley Sports
post game, which iman Maggio.

651
00:46:27.239 --> 00:46:30.000
Uh, Norm your first time back
in this building with the fans. Here,

652
00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:35.440
you heard the tribute, you saw
the standing ovation. You started your

653
00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:38.119
NBA career here. You want a
championship here? What was it like for

654
00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:40.679
you? To be back here with
the fans, it was amazing. You

655
00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:45.400
know, things happened to make this
happen. Last year I had a chance

656
00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:49.360
to come back with their no fans, and unfortunately I have some family issues.

657
00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:52.719
But to be able to come back
here and uh play in front of

658
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:58.719
these these amazing fans that supported me
from the beginning is amazing. The tribute

659
00:46:58.760 --> 00:47:01.000
was great. Fray was messing with
me thinking I was gonna cry. So

660
00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:05.199
this is a good feeling to be
back in the city, be back under

661
00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:07.280
this roof here where everything started.
So it's a fourth circle moment for me.

662
00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:12.800
And what an awesome game you had, incredibly efficient twenty two points in

663
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:16.360
twenty three minutes. You were eight
of fourteen from the field. Clippers.

664
00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:21.239
Great job tonight overall two It was
in the third quarter where you guys were

665
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:25.119
able to create some separation. In
fact, you finished with the final eleven

666
00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:30.039
points in the quarter and Clippers went
into the final frame with a fifteen point

667
00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:32.079
lead. What were you guys able
to take advantage of there in the third

668
00:47:32.159 --> 00:47:35.679
quarter. I'm just a kidder to
play, you know, I know how

669
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:37.719
how they like to play this playing
style in the third quarter. They like

670
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:40.400
to get up and be aggressive and
speed the game up, especially how the

671
00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:43.880
game was going. So I just
told the guys to be ready for their

672
00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:45.960
pressure and how they're gonna try to
speak up and we're able to handle that

673
00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:52.639
and take advantage of their over rotations
on the doubles with PG and why and

674
00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:54.280
in our second unit came in and
kept the same manage. I didn't even

675
00:47:54.320 --> 00:47:59.239
know I had those eleven points,
but just work in a game and uh

676
00:47:59.639 --> 00:48:02.599
then I letting the excuses of last
night of coming in late with the playing

677
00:48:02.639 --> 00:48:06.440
issues and everything affect us, but
coming out here and putting our best foot

678
00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:08.280
forward and coming out with energy.
I was gonna say that was the most

679
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:12.480
impressive to me because it was a
late night, get into the hotel around

680
00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:15.320
four am, just knowing it's a
second night of a back to back,

681
00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:17.119
it's on the road. You're getting
in at four am. What was the

682
00:48:17.199 --> 00:48:21.599
mindset coming in to bring the energy? Yeah, you know, I'm make

683
00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:22.840
sure we hide jaded and were ready
for me. It didn't matter if you've

684
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:25.599
got in at six I was gonna
be ready. I was looking forward to

685
00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:30.079
this game, so I had all
the energy I needed. But the guys

686
00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:32.559
did a great job and being ready, and they hit that the first initial

687
00:48:32.840 --> 00:48:37.280
pushing the first quarter, and we're
able to sustain that and spload a game

688
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:38.760
down and make place for all of
us. Clippers improved to two and one

689
00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:42.880
on this road trip. Thank you, Yeah, keep it going. Clippers

690
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:45.559
overcome a late flight on top of
it all, they win one forty four

691
00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:50.320
to one thirteen after getting into Toronto
late. They take down the Raptors,

692
00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:54.760
win by eleven, and up next
they will be in Boston to face the

693
00:48:54.840 --> 00:49:00.920
Celtics again, a team they dominated
it in Los Angeles. Celtics will be

694
00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:05.559
looking for a retribution. Not going
to be an easy one. Tip time.

695
