WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.320 The game is over. Pall George Money in the pain, but the postgame 2 00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:08.839 reaction has just be gone. Kawhi Leonard is so smooth in the mid range. 3 00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:13.480 This is Clippers locker Room, a recap of today's game and a look 4 00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:18.359 ahead on your home for LA Clippers Basketball. And now your host, You, 5 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:23.960 sir, are a bad man adam Ousley. Clippers with their most dominant 6 00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:27.280 victory of the season. They win one thirty eight to one hundred here in 7 00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:32.079 downtown Los Angeles over the San Antonio Spurs. Welcome into your postgame show. 8 00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.200 Coming up, we'll get your postgame box score, your second half highlight. 9 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.799 You'll hear from the head coach and more of the players. But first back 10 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:40.640 to your voice of the Clippers, Noah Eagle. And you know what, 11 00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:44.280 even before that, let's get the idea in. Let's pause ten seconds for 12 00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.920 station identification here on the Los Angeles Clipper. That's what I'm like to you. 13 00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:54.960 This is LA Clippers Basketball AM five seventy KLAC Los Angeles ninety eight seven 14 00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:00.320 KYSR HD to Los Angeles and iHeart radio station. Cheat on you for the 15 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:04.760 ID there, Huh. I apologize, Clippers, not gonna apologize for the 16 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:11.280 four game season sweep over the Spurs, first time since the ninety six ninety 17 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:14.159 seven season. But they do so to night and impressive fashion. Yeah, 18 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.319 very much so. And this was an important win for a variety of reasons. 19 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:19.400 One, you just win four games in a row, and that's obviously 20 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.480 imperative to continue to climb in the standings twenty seven and twenty four Now on 21 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:29.120 the season, they I don't know why ESPN has them still half a game 22 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.680 back of New Orleans, doesn't make any sense. I just looked, but 23 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.120 they are. They should be tied for that fourth spot right now in the 24 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.400 Western Conference, only two games back of the third, So they put themselves 25 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.840 in prime position even with that sluggish start. Now you start getting healthier, 26 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.799 and again we go back to that Boston example a lot, because the Clippers 27 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.680 had the same record of the Celtics. They through forty seven games last year, 28 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.480 and it was similar. Celtics dealt with a number of injuries, they 29 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.879 dealt with COVID guys in and out the lineup. Well, then they got 30 00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.120 healthy and then we saw them at their strength, and then we saw them 31 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.239 dominate on both side to the floor. And right now the Clippers are dominating 32 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:06.040 at both sides of the floor through these last four games, certainly the defensive 33 00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.120 end. In a number of these games, we saw them win games with 34 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:12.759 their defense. Dallas won games whether they won that game with their defense, 35 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.759 Lakers on Tuesday, they won that game down the stretch with their defense. 36 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.759 And today I know that they shot the ball fifty eight percent. They scored 37 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.479 one hundred thirty eight points. It's great, but defensively they were just as 38 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.039 good. A one hundred points allowed, forced fourteen turnovers that led to twenty 39 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.800 six points for the Clippers. That's been an area of concern all season where 40 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.159 they can't cash in on the turnovers that they forced, and how about only 41 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:37.080 five turnovers for themselves. They took care of the basketball. They were opportunistic. 42 00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:38.560 Sure, this is a Spurs tene that was shorthanded, that was on 43 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:40.400 the second out of a back to back, but you still got to go 44 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.280 take care of your business. The Clippers most certainly did that tonight on the 45 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.800 two on three connection. I believe this was the first time this season where 46 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.560 they had played four straight games together, and you can just see it. 47 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.840 They're getting back to where they were in twenty twenty one, where they left 48 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.400 off of against the Utah Jazz in that second round series. Adam, I've 49 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.960 used the analogy all season. I said at it again on PMS earlier today. 50 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:05.159 It's some audio. It's the same thing, right, that idea of 51 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:07.960 you beat a level of a video game, or you do something for the 52 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.759 first time. It's hard, it's challenging, but now now you have that 53 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:14.479 knowledge, that prior knowledge of how it works. Well, we're seeing what 54 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:16.240 the Clippers looked like in that series against Utah in games three and four. 55 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.639 Let's just look at the stat line. Paul George has thirty five, Kawhi 56 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:24.479 Leonard has twenty seven. You go back a game Tuesday, Kawhi has twenty 57 00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:29.039 five, Paul George has twenty seven. Like they now know exactly how to 58 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.199 play with one another. Paul George recognizes, oh, I can be a 59 00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:37.719 playmaker and a score Kawhi Leonard recognizes I'm still Kawhi Leonard. And that's as 60 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:42.560 important as literally anything that is to me, the most important of any question 61 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.439 coming into the season, would Kawhi Leonard be Kawhi Leonard. It's a resounding 62 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.560 yes. It's not just yes, it's a yeah, yeah, he is 63 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.479 You start to wonder if he can be even better than ever with the way 64 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.439 he's playing with still thirty two games left, he's so ahead of schedule. 65 00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.120 But I like the fact that for the second straight game, Paul's George takes 66 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.240 more shots than Kawai. The aggressiveness out there, thirty five points on just 67 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:08.919 nineteen attempts, five of eight from the outside, and he just put them 68 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:11.840 away early in the fourth quarter. Yeah, the efficiency was there, but 69 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.520 I really liked that stretch to start the fourth You left no doubt to go 70 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.480 full Remember the Titans leave no doubt. That's exactly what Paul George did. 71 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:23.360 He just went out there and played like Paul George. And we talked about 72 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.199 his aggression all the time because this is what he's capable of when he is 73 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.920 aggressive. And he might not do this every night. He's gonna have some 74 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.199 nights where he just isn't shooting the ball at the highest clip, But more 75 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.639 often than not, you're gonna get thirty five point performances on nineteen shots. 76 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:38.839 That's why he was a top three MVP candidate a couple of years ago. 77 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.519 He finished as a finalist in twenty nineteen because he did this night in the 78 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.120 Night Out and defensively three steals he did that night in the Night Out. 79 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.680 He's more than capable. We've talked about it all year, and I don't 80 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:53.800 think that anybody really questioned this. Sure there were some moments maybe of concern, 81 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:58.120 but I don't think anybody questioned that when Kawai and Paul George are healthy, 82 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:03.600 this team's really really good and really really hard to beat, especially when 83 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:09.639 they're playing in rhythm and feeling themselves the way that they have. Again in 84 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.519 a seven game series. If these guys are playing like this and you've got 85 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.360 to rondo on the sideline, Kevin Garnett, where are you? Anything is 86 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.879 possible here. You roll with those guys. Clippers look to be primed for 87 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.480 this six game road trip that will be a tough test, starting with a 88 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:30.240 back to back in Atlanta on Saturday, then in Cleveland against the Cavaliers on 89 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.040 Sunday.

Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight sixty six 105 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:54.680 nine eight seven two five seventy. Clippers have one four in a row and 106 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.800 they swept the season series and went four and oh against the San Antonio Spurs. 107 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.600 First time they've done that since the ninety six ninety seven season. Let's 108 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.120 talk about the second half. Clippers were up big at seventy eight to fifty 109 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:11.279 seven in the first half, that seventy eight number highest scoring first half of 110 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.639 the season after they had seventy seven against the Lakers back on Tuesday night. 111 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.639 But in that third quarter for the Clippers, it was a Vizza Zoo bots 112 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:23.160 getting into the act on offense. George down the right alley, shoveled inside 113 00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:27.800 SUBOTSA tucks the ram and he drumps the hammer with the left hand. A 114 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:33.160 vizzas soup box ill intentions to the cup ninety three sixty four where he knew 115 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.360 was right from two bots crossed over, George getting inside sup box all alone 116 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:42.040 at a two handed rint radler Vizza Zoo Bots and double figures with eleven George 117 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:46.279 with his fifth assist one hundred to seventy one. Big Zoo was six points 118 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.079 in that third quarter and was getting passes from PG thirteen and Kawhi Leonard, 119 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:54.839 who had nine of his twenty seven in the third. Clippers entered the fourth 120 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.879 up one oh four to eighty one, and to put things away, it 121 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.120 was Paul George taking them home extra fee Jackson another one. George on the 122 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.959 right wing for three eight. He's got it. Pg thirteen has been pure 123 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.120 all night. Twenty eight for George down the left Ala. George just slithers 124 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.240 to the ramp for two. George with thirty in thirty three minutes is eight 125 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.480 thirty point game of the season. Makes it one seventeen to eighty six. 126 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.879 Started by Katabates, the up on the outside screen to his left. George 127 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.040 stepping was straight away three cash Pg thirteen. It's that type of night. 128 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:33.279 Thirty five points for George timeout San Antonio. Paul George with ten of his 129 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.879 thirty five there within the first twelve less than five minutes of the fourth quarter. 130 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.840 Clippers run away with this when their largest defeat or win of the season, 131 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:46.639 sending San Antonio to the defeat one thirty eight to one hundred in favor 132 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.559 of the Clippers.

It's been since the ninety six ninety seven season since the 170 00:11:52.879 --> 00:12:00.399 Clippers were able to sweep this team in the regular season series four oh and 171 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.879 that year, well David Robinson only played six games had the back injury. 172 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:09.399 They end up getting the number one pick over Boston and draft Tim Duncan. 173 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:13.519 Spurs go to the playoffs twenty two straight years and win five titles. A 174 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:18.360 model of consistency. Clippers trying to find their own consistency. Not only did 175 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.360 they sweep the season series four oh against San Antonio, but they've won four 176 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:28.600 straight and their offense has certainly been clicking in coming into this game. Over 177 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.159 their last fifteen contests, they had the seventh best offense over their last fifteen 178 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.480 games coming into this one, seventh best offensive rating in the league, and 179 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:43.720 they just scored a season high in a regular season or in a four quarters 180 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.919 of play without accounting for an overtime. One hundred and thirty eight points scored 181 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.279 by the Clippers, most they've scored in the game in a non overtime game, 182 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:58.519 one hundred and thirty eight. Largest win, winning by thirty eight. 183 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:05.120 Fewest amount of turnovers on the season, with just five leading to six points. 184 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.279 Their all time franchise low is three that happened in twenty twenty one against 185 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:15.399 the OKC Thunder on May sixteenth of twenty twenty one. But just five turnovers. 186 00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:20.039 The turnovers have been down. That has been under the radar type number 187 00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.639 from this team. Even when they had lost sixth straight nine of eleven, 188 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.600 they were taking care of the basketball. They were doing a better job. 189 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.120 There a lot of that because Kawhi Leonard has had the ball in his hands, 190 00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.840 in his sure hands, his large claws. He had twenty seven, 191 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.639 twelve of which came in the first quarter as he hit a buzzer beating three 192 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.039 pointer in a similar fashion to Terrence Man and the one he hit to end 193 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.960 the first quarter against the Lakers Tuesday night. But Kawhi with those twelve quick 194 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:52.120 points and the Clippers they tied a season high for points in a quarter with 195 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.200 forty one, which they had against the Spurs last time out less than a 196 00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:01.480 week ago, in a quarter in the first quarter as well. Offense is 197 00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:05.279 clicking in Nino San Antonio. Not a very good defensive team, not a 198 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.960 very good team on offense overall, bottom three in both of those categories, 199 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.639 But coming off the big victory over the Lakers and winning three in a row 200 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.759 and starting to turn things around, and then seeing that you have a six 201 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.200 game road trip, it could be a dreaded trap game. The Clippers didn't 202 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.440 fall for it, though, the Admiral Akbar it's a trap, shout out 203 00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:31.039 Betros and Money. They didn't. They came out with that same focus they 204 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.639 had Tuesday night. They started four or four actually I think ended up six 205 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:39.399 of six from the field to start things off. But there was a quick 206 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.159 nine three run and Greg Popovich was calling a time out early in the first 207 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:48.559 quarter. But you could tell the Clippers were moving the basketball. Everybody was 208 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:56.799 getting involved. Kawai and Paul George were playing like superstars. PG had ten 209 00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:01.159 of his thirty five in the first quarter. I beats The Zubots had a 210 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:05.720 quick five points all five starters scored and then Norman Powell had a quick five 211 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.480 off the bench, reg Jackson a quick five, and they're up forty one 212 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.840 to twenty five heading into the second and what do they do. They put 213 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:16.840 up a thirty seven spot in the second quarter. They gave no quarter. 214 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:24.159 They won each one tonight and go on to win by thirty eight. But 215 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.200 it's the way they're doing it now because this offense for the most part this 216 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:33.320 season bottom three, and all of a sudden, with Kawhi Leonard back, 217 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:37.759 they look like a completely different team on that end. But guys are more 218 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.639 decisive out there. They're getting into their offense quicker. The passes are crisper 219 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:46.679 and on point. And we didn't see and I talked about him in the 220 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.279 pregame. He was my player to watch after coming off a game where here 221 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.200 I want to say he had four turnovers to four assists. That is not 222 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.120 a good ratio one to one there, Paul George Tuesday against the Lakers, 223 00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:02.399 didn't matter, they won anyways, but zero turnovers to seven assists in this 224 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:08.519 game, he and Kawhi Leonard combined for fourteen assists to zero turnovers. They 225 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:15.080 combined for sixty two points and do so efficiently. Kawai just needed sixteen shots 226 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.559 to get twenty seven, Paul George nineteen to get thirty five. He had 227 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.279 thirty five and thirty five minutes, a point per minute, and in that 228 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.720 fourth quarter, in less than five minutes, scored to quick ten points. 229 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:32.840 Was just toying with them and put San Antonio away and made it so Kawhi 230 00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:36.159 didn't have to come back in in the fourth and the Clippers were able to 231 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:38.840 get the reserves out there even a little bit more rest as they have the 232 00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:45.080 day off tomorrow and then they'll be in Atlanta on Saturday. This was a 233 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:49.639 dominating win, the type of win you'd say a contender should have against a 234 00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:53.440 team that's struggling and near the bottom of the West in the San Antonio Spurs, 235 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:57.600 and now the Clippers, I believe, are tied for the four spot 236 00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.120 in the West with the New Orleans Pelicans, who are reeling. They've had 237 00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:06.400 some guys out sign Williamson, Brandon Ingram. It's not just the Clippers who've 238 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:10.160 been dealing with injuries so far this season, but things are starting to come 239 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:18.039 together for the squad. Lucannard comes back now there were some troubling signs in 240 00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:21.279 the second half from him, and I'm sure he'll hear about it post game 241 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.799 from the head coach. But there was a possession and Noah Eagle highlighted it 242 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.200 where the Clippers were a little too unselfish in the third quarter. They were 243 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:33.599 passing the balls, swinging around the perimeter and eventually fell into a shot clock 244 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:38.400 violation when they had multiple open threes and guys were just too hot, potato 245 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:41.680 happy. Luca Nard was one of them. He had an open shot, 246 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:47.240 turned it down, but I think two possessions later, he took that shot 247 00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:51.880 off a pass from Paul George and stuck it. That was good to see. 248 00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.880 It was his only three pointer that he attempted, but he made it. 249 00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.160 Finished with five points in sixteen minutes coming off the calf injury. Though. 250 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.680 He just wanted to see him try to catch a rhythm and not stand 251 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:10.359 out in a negative way and be a cog in the machine because he just 252 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:15.359 hasn't played enough. But he looked okay. He blended in nicely enough. 253 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:18.519 You still want to see him take more shots than just three total, but 254 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.119 he got it. Going out of one of the early time outs. You 255 00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:25.920 could see they were intent on getting him a shot. He was the only 256 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:30.200 starter who hadn't scored yet. He tried to force one, but then later 257 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.720 was eventually getting run off the three point line, got inside of it and 258 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:40.480 hit one on the right elbow for his first make back after missing a few 259 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:44.960 weeks now, and he's missed a significant amount of time because that right calf 260 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.920 injury, multiple stints out for this team. Great to see him back. 261 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:52.640 Of course, no Marcus Morris right now, which is why he was in 262 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.799 the starting lineup. We assume we'll see what happens moving forward. But Terrence 263 00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:57.559 Man was still in the backcourt with him, and he had Big Zoo, 264 00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:02.359 Paul George and Kawhi Leonard out there. But everybody was a positive on the 265 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:07.079 floor tonight, literally in the plus minus category. And I thought defensively and 266 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:10.279 know what you Go brought up post game, they were just as good as 267 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:14.119 they were on offense. Holding a team to a hundred points that can score, 268 00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:18.079 that can get up and down. The Spurs don't have a problem with 269 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:19.079 that. And I know it was the second night of a back to back, 270 00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:23.319 but they got a lot of youth there, young legs, and the 271 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:27.880 Clippers actually ended up with fifteen fast break points, so the Spurs having just 272 00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:33.079 five. Because they turned defense and offense. Spurs turned in over fourteen times. 273 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.640 Clippers had twenty six points off of turnovers. But second straight game they've 274 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:41.720 had over fifty points in the paint. They matched the Lakers there Tuesday night. 275 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.480 That was big for them, and they ended up with that forty one 276 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:49.559 point first quarter. They had twenty four points in the paint in the first 277 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:56.039 getting downhill, putting pressure on the rim, Kawhi Leonard, bullying guys out 278 00:19:56.079 --> 00:20:00.559 of the way, just moving them with his strength when he wasn't hitting a 279 00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:04.559 mid range shot, getting ann once because he was going to the basket. 280 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.680 This is the Clippers team. I think a lot of people envisioned coming into 281 00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:18.240 this year the way they're playing right now. But their toughest test is also 282 00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:21.400 going to come on this road trip of the season. So far. At 283 00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:26.519 least you got Atlanta and then Cleveland the next day, Chicago on Tuesday, 284 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.359 Milwaukee on Thursday, the Nicks on Saturday, and then the Nets on Monday. 285 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:36.319 There's your six game road trip. Not gonna be easy, but you 286 00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:41.440 can at least say they're finding themselves at the right time. They gotta be 287 00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:45.480 feeling good heading out on the road. You saw Reggie Jackson as the buzzer 288 00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:49.599 sounded, he was dancing on the sidelines. Reggie provides the vibes and the 289 00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:53.240 positivity for this team. When he's feeling good, everybody's feeling good. There 290 00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:57.039 was a moment earlier in the game where they all huddled around Norman Powell, 291 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:00.640 who was showing a little bit of frustration with the officials. Good to see 292 00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:10.039 the camaraderie these guys. They never splintered through losing six in a row in 293 00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:15.440 nine of eleven. The leadership is there. You can call Kawhi Leonard a 294 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:21.000 quiet leader. Okay, worked for Tim Duncan. Kawhi learned from the best. 295 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.359 That's fine, and sometimes just leading by example is enough. With the 296 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.559 effort he gives on both ends. Had another steal and not a slam this 297 00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.799 time, but a layup. I want to say every game he's had one 298 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.319 of those recently where he's just hounding teams on one end, and I love 299 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.599 the defense. On the third quarter. It's easy to let up. And 300 00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:45.759 the Clippers only won the third quarter by two points, but that's still impressive. 301 00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:49.720 Not to lose any of the quarters when you have a twenty one point 302 00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:53.960 lead at the half, and guys were out there giving good effort late in 303 00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:57.920 the fourth. Robert Covington. We noted this during the game, but I 304 00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:03.880 don't even mind when he and Nicholas Batoum are going for a block and get 305 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.599 called for the foul because they're not giving up easy buckets on the interior late, 306 00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:11.400 even when you're up twenty. They weren't. They were playing with a 307 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.599 lot of pride out there. Holding a team to one hundred in today's league 308 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:19.039 is not easy to do, no matter who it is. I think the 309 00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:25.200 worst offense averages one hundred and seven points per game. But Rocco also had 310 00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:32.680 a ridiculous block on Zach Collins. He finished with three of them. He 311 00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:36.519 had four against the Lakers, played twenty one minutes, three or five from 312 00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:40.839 the outside. Noah Eagles spoke with him postgame, but this is somebody we've 313 00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:45.480 talked about all season. You know, wondered why he wasn't playing as much, 314 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:48.960 and to be fair, he wasn't playing as well early in the year 315 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:53.680 either, But since they committed to more of the wing stop that we thought 316 00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:56.680 we were going to see coming into the season, going back to the Denver 317 00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:59.799 game. I know you don't want to think about that where they got blown 318 00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:02.680 out, but that was the point, the turning point where coach Luke came 319 00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:04.759 out and said, yeah, Roco's gonna get his opportunities. He's made the 320 00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:10.799 most of them. He's starting to play like he did last year. The 321 00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:12.720 little things were pretty much always there, but he's starting to hit three pointers, 322 00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:18.000 three or five from the outside, slowly getting better and better from distance. 323 00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.720 Now eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight sixty six ninety 324 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:29.279 eight seven two five seventy is the phone number Clippers with their most dominant victory 325 00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:33.720 of the season. They win one thirty eight to one hundred over the San 326 00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:37.440 Antonio Spurs. Since they get ready to head out on the road for six 327 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:44.920 starting in Atlanta Saturday.

They get the season sweep 334 00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:36.039 over them for the first time since the ninety six ninety seven year Welcome back 335 00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:37.720 in the Clippers stock, I'm out of Moslin at eight six sixs ninety seven 336 00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:42.920 two five seventy eight six six ninety seven two five seventy's Pg's eight thirty plus 337 00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:47.759 point game this season. In his last three games, he's getting twenty seven 338 00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:52.200 per game on Let's be right, Uh, I'll have to read. I'll 339 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:55.799 have to check this because I don't think he's shooting thirty one percent from the 340 00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:59.759 field. I'll get that for here, because he's been too good fourteen of 341 00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.319 nineteen from the outside or from the field in this one, five of eight 342 00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:08.920 from three. Kawhi Leonard though twenty plus in eleven of his last twelve games 343 00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:15.599 where he's averaging twenty six. Kawhi with twenty seven on ten of sixteen shooting. 344 00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:19.799 It just absurd efficiency and then taking care of the basketball both those guys 345 00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:26.519 was seven turnovers or excuse me, seven assists to zero turnovers. I should 346 00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:29.720 put it all right, Mike in La Mike, what's up here on Clipper 347 00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:34.000 stock without a mosson. You know what was great about to ninety was it's 348 00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:37.920 the type of win the Clippers should have gotten against the bad team. And 349 00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:41.759 you know, they take care of business in the game they're supposed to take 350 00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:44.519 care of business. And that is great to see because you know, way 351 00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:48.079 too often, including I mean just a few days ago against the Spurs that 352 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:52.799 was not really the game. Yeah, this was a team they gave up 353 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:55.880 one hundred and twenty six points to less than a week ago, and tonight 354 00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:59.799 they give up just one hundred while scoring more than they did in that for 355 00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:04.279 a game against Antonio. My question though, is, you know there was 356 00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:10.519 that scoring prout period towards the end of the third quarter, and you know 357 00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:15.039 that's been something that's happened with this team going back to the you know, 358 00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:22.240 uh twenty one. He's it And I was curious, do you think that 359 00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:27.720 you know, making the move for some sort of you know, I hate 360 00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:30.839 to say a more traditional point than you know, Mike Connelly or you know, 361 00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:38.480 whomever would would help with with those types of scoring traps. We've been 362 00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:41.759 here before with for Gen Rondo, and I think it did help in the 363 00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:47.519 regular season Mike, but obviously didn't work in the playoffs. That couldn't help. 364 00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:52.720 Yes, do I think they need anything to win a championship? No. 365 00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:59.240 I think the most important thing is that Paul George and Kawhi Leonard play 366 00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:02.119 like this, play like superstars. The ball is gonna be in their hands 367 00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:06.039 most of the time. Anyways, They're gonna have a very high usage rating. 368 00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:10.559 So if you're bringing in an older point guard now, a guy who 369 00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:14.960 was an All Star, Mike Conley or Kyle Lowry, you know, I 370 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:18.680 think they could help. It also depends what you end up giving up for 371 00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:22.400 those guys, But I understand. Look, it's called a gamer runs for 372 00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:27.920 a reason. Everybody goes through droughts here and there, and yeah, the 373 00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:32.079 Clippers have had theirs. But if you pay attention as close as you do 374 00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:33.720 to the Clippers to every other team, you see it all the time as 375 00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:37.359 well. It's just kind of fan bias that's built in. But yeah, 376 00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:41.640 they've had their issues, you know, this season, but look they've won 377 00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:45.680 four in a row, and isn't a coincidence they have now that Paul George 378 00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:48.480 and Kawhi Leonard, for the first time this year, have played four straight 379 00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:53.640 games next to one another. I don't think so. I think they're moving 380 00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:57.960 in the right direction here and offensively, as I mentioned earlier, seventh best 381 00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:03.079 offensive rating over the last fifteen games coming into this one, and that's only 382 00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:06.400 going to go up after putting on one hundred and thirty eight points. Are 383 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:08.480 you with me, Mike, I'm with you. It is. It is 384 00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:12.000 kind of bizarre that this is the first time you play fourth great games yet, 385 00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:18.079 but it is, But it isn't It's what we've seen. This team, 386 00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:22.319 unfortunately, has been snake bit with injuries. The hope is that's behind 387 00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:26.799 them. Well, anyway, that Adam, thank you very much for taking 388 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.839 my call, and you know this is such a point win, so congrats 389 00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.960 on that. Well. I did enjoy a thing, but I appreciate it. 390 00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:37.960 Mike, thank you for the phone call. Eight six six ninety eight 391 00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:41.200 seven two five seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy. Yeah, 392 00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.400 this is the type of dominating victory you want to see over our team 393 00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:49.640 like San Antonio, but you don't want to minimize it and say, well, 394 00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:53.640 they should win like this. It's not easy in this league. The 395 00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:57.440 Lakers pulled away from them in the fourth quarter the other night, but it 396 00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:02.519 wasn't like this. Slippers got the jump on them from the start and we're 397 00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:04.839 up by sixteen after the first quarter. That is not easy to do. 398 00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:11.240 And the Clippers once again hot from distance more consistently throughout this one eighteen of 399 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:15.079 thirty eight from three. That's almost forty eight percent, and they're top five 400 00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:22.000 three point shooting team once again. But having only five turnovers, you know 401 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:26.640 they've been trending in the right direction there. And that's what championship teams do. 402 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:29.559 They take care of the basketball. So you want to build those habits. 403 00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:33.079 With thirty two games left as the playoffs approach, we saw some good 404 00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:37.599 process and some good results against the Lakers when it was a ten point game 405 00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:41.039 and the Clippers come out of that time out, Lebron James can't miss anything 406 00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.559 and Paul George gets the deflection, ends up with the Kawhi Leonard Steel after 407 00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:48.200 some good hustle from PG against Shrewder, and they turn the game back in 408 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:53.000 their favor quickly and went on an eight oh run. That is the type 409 00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:57.599 of stuff that you want to see from a team that has these level of 410 00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:03.200 expectations, and so far this season, with just being only three games above 411 00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:07.359 five hundred, has underperformed, you could say, But they've also had so 412 00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:11.160 many injuries and there's still plenty of time left to turn this around, and 413 00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:15.039 it seems like they're doing so. But this road trip is going to tell 414 00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:22.200 us a lot six tough games against good opponents, and the Clippers I said 415 00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:26.440 earlier, but I think they're primed for it, but we'll find out. 416 00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.559 When it four straight before you head out on the road, you certainly take 417 00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:36.920 that over the alternative. But again, Kawhi Leonard playing like this, playing 418 00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:40.240 like he did in twenty twenty one, I didn't think he'd get here this 419 00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:45.400 soon, and he missed twenty of the first twenty five games and he still 420 00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.599 looks like this, and to be that good on both ends of the floor. 421 00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:53.119 I mentioned it early in the pregame show, but the athleticism he's showing 422 00:30:53.200 --> 00:31:00.599 off defensively is impressive to me. And the effort on that end, it's 423 00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:03.440 just in him. It's innate. He has to play defense. He has 424 00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:07.599 no other option. He's been doing it his entire career. But I think 425 00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:11.720 he's inspiring guys out there. Because the Clippers as a team give up just 426 00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:17.279 one hundred points. And while I mentioned seventh best offense over the last fifteen 427 00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:22.960 games, well twenty six defensively during that time. So this was big. 428 00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:26.079 I don't care that san Antonio holding any team to one hundred points in this 429 00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.160 league is not easily done. Let's hear from coach Loup post game. Clippers 430 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:34.400 win one thirty eight to one hundred over the Spurs, and here's your head 431 00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:37.799 coach speaking with the media. Ty you you guys from me. I think 432 00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:42.000 I led this game. I think probably got off to one of your better 433 00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:45.920 defensive starts in the game. Is how do you What did you see in 434 00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:48.599 the beginning of the first quarter, mainly that you can kind of channel this 435 00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:52.680 moving forward to the road trip. Well, defensively, I thought we did 436 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:59.000 a good job of just understanding game plans, sticking to our principles, taking 437 00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:04.000 away to back cuts, you know, taking away the middle drives. I 438 00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:07.119 thought we did a decent job of that. And so it's a tough team 439 00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:08.680 because they keep in closed our situations. But I thought we overall, we 440 00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:14.400 did a pretty good job or sticking to the game playing. I'm offensively, 441 00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:17.559 I thought we took advantage of them double team and got to our space and 442 00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:22.119 our right space and moved to basketball and then you know, taking care of 443 00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:24.160 the basketball, which has been in one of our problems this season. I'm 444 00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:29.680 only having five turnovers. It's huge for us. And so you know, 445 00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:32.319 PG and Kauai having fourteen assists and no turnovers is is big. And you 446 00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:36.720 know when you're playing three, your your two big guys like that, and 447 00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:39.319 so just continue to keep building. You know, like I said, we're 448 00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:42.519 trending upwards, but we still got a long ways ago. You know, 449 00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.680 we just gotta continue to work and to get to where we want to get 450 00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:49.640 to. But I like where we're at right now. Norm has been thrust 451 00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:52.640 into a bunch of different roles. Whether it was starting, I believe it 452 00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:55.480 was Utah to use our game to back to back excuse me, the Minnesota 453 00:32:55.519 --> 00:33:00.039 games few games ago. He's he's got a good scoring stretch here. What 454 00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:01.519 have you seen from him, whether he's starting off the bench, that he's 455 00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:05.759 providing you guys, just kind of boost I think, just you know, 456 00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:07.519 coming off the bench and having a chance to you know, play through him 457 00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:12.119 a lot more. You know, we've been staggering PG and Kawai for the 458 00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:15.119 most part. But Norm's on the floor. One of those guys. You 459 00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:16.960 know, they looked at him to carry something that scored load, you know 460 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:20.400 when they get tired, and you know, we could score a bunch of 461 00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:23.079 He scores quick. And so when he's a fishing, when he's playing well, 462 00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:25.559 you know, we usually play at a high level, and so he's 463 00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:29.599 kind of figured out his niche you know, doing a good job of playing 464 00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:31.200 through him with the second unit, and he's been playing, you know, 465 00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:37.279 very well for us. It was coach Lupost game Clippers win one thirty eight 466 00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:44.039 to one hundred over the San Antonio Spurs. One of those other championship like 467 00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:47.559 trades you want to see is coming out and starting fast. Also not just 468 00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:51.960 in the first half, and in the second half, and Kawhi was leading 469 00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:55.759 them there where he had a long two pointer and then in and one and 470 00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:00.519 they were getting Big Zoo involved. He and Paul George George a couple of 471 00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:02.799 assists to him. Kawai a nice pass to him that resulted in free throws 472 00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:06.440 for Big Zoo. He had six of his eleven points in the third. 473 00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:08.440 I just like the fact that, Okay, we've been beating up on you 474 00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:13.639 this way. Here's a different element to this Clippers team. We actually have 475 00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:16.920 a guy in the post who can go to work, can get some zul 476 00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:21.880 sender like shots, hook shots on you as Noah Eagle would put it, 477 00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:25.599 and be a beast in the paint and dominate there. And you also have 478 00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:30.880 to reward guys like that on your team that give you that great effort defensively. 479 00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:34.800 You know, Shaq used to always say, dog ain't going to defend 480 00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:38.400 the house if you don't feed him. They fed a beata zoobots. I 481 00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:42.400 thought he got involved, especially in that third quarter, but he was playing 482 00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:46.480 off of their superstars. That's great to see instead of just Kauai and Paul 483 00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:50.920 George, who I think did have. They combined for their first eight points 484 00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:53.280 of the third. Then it was okay, let's go somewhere else. Now 485 00:34:53.920 --> 00:35:00.239 let's add a different way. I mean, championship teams also have some many 486 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:02.800 different ways to beat you, a multitude of ways. That's big, and 487 00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:07.199 the Clippers have that. It's just hard to balance at all with the talent 488 00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:13.320 on this team sometimes and finding enough minutes for everybody, but then keeping guys 489 00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:19.079 involved offensively. When you do that, you get much better performances, usually 490 00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:22.719 on the other end on defense. Clippers win one thirty eight to one hundred 491 00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:27.519 over San Antonio quick time out. We'll come back with William Updyke from Clips 492 00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:31.719 and dip. Clippers heading out or six games on the road that's starting on 493 00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:38.119 Saturday in Atlanta. I got people on Twitter, this is Chuck Underscore five 494 00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:44.800 five five, asking so will Kawai and Paul George play both games with the 495 00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:49.760 back to back on Saturday and Sunday. I don't know. Obviously kawais and 496 00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:52.960 played a back to back yet so far this season coming off the ACL injury, 497 00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:58.199 but last four games has been the longest stretch of the season where both 498 00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:01.639 of them have played every game together. It is a little bit shocking. 499 00:36:01.679 --> 00:36:06.039 It's only going to add four. Hoping, of course, Sir Brick comes 500 00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:07.800 out of this game feeling good. It looks like they are. They'll at 501 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:13.599 least get to five on Saturday against Atlanta. We'll see what happens from there. 502 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:19.480 But big big road trip coming up that could define some of this season. 503 00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:22.000 For them. We're just thirty two games left in the top level competition 504 00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:25.559 they're going to see out there on the road and just you're hunkered down, 505 00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:30.639 you're in the foxhole together. Now this team can band together and there's a 506 00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:35.559 lot of positive things they're taken with them on that plane out to Atlanta after 507 00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:38.440 a victory like this and four green win streak. This is Clippers talk here 508 00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:44.719 on the M five seventy only Sports. She don't wanna be low duck skinning 509 00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:47.679 at viv Love. The data in that were Love. It was blocked by 510 00:36:47.800 --> 00:36:53.079 George. This this LA Clippers basketball. He is a one man record crawl 511 00:36:53.119 --> 00:37:09.880 the defensive man on the home of your LA Clippers. Look, I just 512 00:37:09.960 --> 00:37:15.599 flipped the switch. Are the Clippers a flip the switch team? I've asked 513 00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:21.519 this question at times this year because of their talent level, because of them 514 00:37:21.639 --> 00:37:27.360 not playing to that level, we wondered, are they waiting. I'm not 515 00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:30.760 saying that's a good thing, but the time is now. If you're gonna 516 00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:35.599 start to make a move in the West, there's room to maneuver. And 517 00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:37.480 all of a sudden, the Clippers are one fourth straight and they just won 518 00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:43.280 by their largest margin of victory one thirty eight to one hundred over the San 519 00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:47.280 Antonio Spurs. Here in downtown Los Angeles, welcome back into Clippers Talk. 520 00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:52.840 I'm Ata Moslin, trying to connect with our friend William up Take maybe he 521 00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:57.639 and uh Chuck Monckler already getting started on a podcast for Clips and dip here. 522 00:37:58.199 --> 00:38:05.639 But the Clippers I have a season high victory margin of thirty eight against 523 00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:08.840 a team that they just snuck past in San Antonio less than a week ago. 524 00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:14.519 So if you want to talk about progress, they were better offensively tonight, 525 00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:20.039 they were much much better defensively. And if you think the Clippers are 526 00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:22.400 a championship contender, which we do, they didn't play down to their opponent 527 00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:27.400 this time. They didn't get into a track meet or back and forth being 528 00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:32.440 happy to trade layups with the Spurs. They came out focused like they did 529 00:38:32.440 --> 00:38:37.559 against the Lakers, and got off to that quick start four four, just 530 00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:39.599 like against the Lakers. In fact, they got to another level. They 531 00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:45.199 went six of six to start things off, and everybody was getting involved. 532 00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:49.159 But it starts with a two one three connection. Those two combined for twenty 533 00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:52.320 two of their forty one points in the first quarter. Tying a season high 534 00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:58.000 for points in a quarter. We just had a call or talk about, 535 00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.440 Okay, what about trades? What about a point? You get these lulls 536 00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:06.239 offensively? Could you smooth out some of that stuff by having a more traditional 537 00:39:06.320 --> 00:39:10.840 point guard next to Kawai and Paul George. We just had this conversation so 538 00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:17.280 many times over and over again, and I'm not saying it can't help, 539 00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:22.239 but I think the most important thing for this team is with the guy's in 540 00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:27.079 house internally, and they're two superstars, first of all staying healthy and staying 541 00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:30.559 on the floor, but then getting those reps and playing off one another the 542 00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:35.000 way they have the last four games. That's how they're gonna end up winning 543 00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:40.400 a championship because that's why those two guys were brought here. Those are worth 544 00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:49.159 the expectations and the bar was set to and they have the talent and look, 545 00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:52.119 you can go back to twenty twenty one what it could have should have 546 00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:54.480 If Kawhi Leonard doesn't go down, Yeah, I think they win it then. 547 00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:59.440 I think most people thought that they took Phoenix to six games without them. 548 00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:02.000 I've seen what Kawai can do to Jannis Denna Kompo if they got past 549 00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:10.239 them in the NBA Finals. But to see Kawhi play this well, this 550 00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:16.239 soon is the most encouraging thing that we've seen all year long, because the 551 00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:21.719 only way they're winning a championship is if he gets back to playing like a 552 00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:24.639 top three player in the league and where he was at before the injury. 553 00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:30.000 Nobody was playing better in the twenty one playoffs before he went out, but 554 00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:34.880 those last two games together with him and Paul George each going for thirty in 555 00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:38.239 games three and four against the Utah Jazz. You're starting to see a continuation 556 00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:44.679 of that with those two connecting on the court, taking their turns when to 557 00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:51.000 dominate, making the game easier for each other and everyone else. And it's 558 00:40:51.039 --> 00:40:55.159 coming together quickly all of a sudden, and that could change on this six 559 00:40:55.280 --> 00:41:00.599 game road trip, but the Clippers at least have momentum going into it. 560 00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:07.360 That's big. The way Norman Palsman playing and complimenting them off the bench with 561 00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:13.280 his ridiculous shooting is huge. He's now twenty for his last thirty, two 562 00:41:13.360 --> 00:41:16.280 from three from the outside, had fifteen points in twenty one minutes just instant 563 00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:22.440 offense. He's so efficient eleven shots to get fifteen, and the ball movement 564 00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:29.280 has led to better three point shooting where maybe we see just like last season, 565 00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:31.000 where I want to say the Clippers from the All Star break on they 566 00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:35.639 were the best three point shooting team once again, coming off a historic year 567 00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:38.440 from the outside, shooting over forty one in the twenty twenty one year. 568 00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:44.760 But a lot of those guys are still here, and when their offense is 569 00:41:44.800 --> 00:41:50.440 clicking and drive kick swing is working, you see it through wide open shots 570 00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:54.480 that get knocked down from the outside. And we're starting to see it again 571 00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:59.039 with the performance they had in the first half against the Lakers fifteen to twenty 572 00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:02.920 three Tuesday night from distance, and then tonight a little bit more consistent overall, 573 00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:07.840 as they had nine threes made in the first half, nine more made 574 00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:13.559 in the second half, eighteen of thirty eight for forty seven percent from the 575 00:42:13.679 --> 00:42:17.079 outside. Second straight wire to wire victory. Though here's the number for you 576 00:42:17.679 --> 00:42:22.559 from Dennis Degastino, statistician to the Stars. The Clippers have not trailed for 577 00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:27.480 the last one hundred and nine minutes and eleven seconds, basically since the very 578 00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:31.480 end of the third quarter against the talas Mavericks. So that last Sunday, 579 00:42:31.519 --> 00:42:37.039 I want to say, they've been dominating and they're starting to get off to 580 00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:40.760 quick starts. They're not turning the ball over as much. You're superstars are 581 00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:51.039 thriving. Role players are playing their roles. They're more comfortable in spots were 582 00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:55.039 they expected to be all season long. Makes sense. Guys are falling in 583 00:42:55.159 --> 00:43:04.239 line now and being stars in their roles. But it all happens because they're 584 00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:07.400 led by the two one three connection. When those two are going like this, 585 00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:13.719 and Kauai has just been on a ridiculously efficient run last ten games, 586 00:43:13.800 --> 00:43:19.199 over fifty percent from the outside, over fifty percent from the field, nine 587 00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:22.760 percent from the free throw line, and then you add in the defense. 588 00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:28.920 The Clippers are starting to look exactly how you thought they would to start off 589 00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:32.599 this season. Maybe a little late, better late than ever, better peak 590 00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:38.679 or better to peak towards as you get closer to the playoffs than to get 591 00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:43.360 off to a good, hot start of the season and then tail off. 592 00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:49.440 So there's a lot of optimism right now. I think within Clipper Nation, 593 00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:53.440 they're playing more wing stop lineups, and even when they have two guys out 594 00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:58.840 there and Norman Powell and Reggie Jackson that are smaller, they're insulated by batoum 595 00:43:59.039 --> 00:44:02.800 Roco and Kauai. That five man lineup has been much better. That's something 596 00:44:04.199 --> 00:44:07.679 it looks like coach Lew has been tinkering with has been working lately. And 597 00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:15.559 Reggie Jackson coming off the bench now but thriving twelve points in fifteen minutes tough 598 00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:20.599 layups. Couldn't get a three point to go on this one, but he 599 00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:25.599 had a couple of steals and I don't know if it was back to back 600 00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:30.360 possessions, but close close to that that were difference makers and just kept the 601 00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:36.559 momentum going for him tonight where they were able to get easy buckets and Paul 602 00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:43.400 George had that windmill dunk and the Clippers just looked to be surging now and 603 00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:47.400 they need to be because it's only going to get tougher from here they're entering. 604 00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:52.400 I think when I looked at the schedule coming into this season, this 605 00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:57.440 is the toughest stretch to me. End of January into early February. Good 606 00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:00.920 news is only one back to back on the six game road trip starting Saturday 607 00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:06.159 and Sunday, but more games spaced out. In fact, they don't have 608 00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:12.280 a back to back in February, so more practice, more time for hopefully 609 00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:15.559 Kawai and Paul George to be on the court next one another, because guys 610 00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:19.920 aren't missing games on back to backs, and they can build up this chemistry 611 00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:27.199 and just continue to play better and better and more refined basketball. That's the 612 00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:30.320 hope. Tonight was a step in the right direction once again. They win 613 00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:32.880 one thirty eight to one hundred over the Spurs. We'll take a quick time 614 00:45:32.920 --> 00:45:37.719 out. We'll come back here and close things out on Clippers stalk eight six 615 00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:40.440 six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five 616 00:45:40.639 --> 00:45:45.679 seventy is the phone number. I'm out of Moslin and this is a five 617 00:45:45.719 --> 00:46:00.679 seventy l A sports. Paul George LA Clippers basketball continue fains as he carries 618 00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:15.039 the three LA Clippers. I don't know will be there coming up, but 619 00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:17.760 Jay z on the track cloaking back into the Clipper stock. I've had him. 620 00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:22.719 Oslin Clippers went one thirty eight to one hundred over the San Antonio Spurs. 621 00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:25.519 One of my favorite players in this one, No Eagle with the perfect 622 00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:29.760 call is Kawhi Leonard didn't like a call that went against him at the end 623 00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:32.679 of the third quarter. Didn't think it was a foul, didn't look like 624 00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:38.760 one defender basically jumped backwards into Kawiet to draw it exaggerin from the contact. 625 00:46:39.639 --> 00:46:44.239 But the very next possession on the other side, kawhis guess the ball in 626 00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:49.199 his hands and he knew it was going to stay there. He had something 627 00:46:49.280 --> 00:46:52.480 to say after that bad call, and he ended the possession with a fade 628 00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:59.440 away jumper from about fourteen feet out, which is just automatic from him, 629 00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:06.599 as he was two of six from the outside. So he ends up what 630 00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:12.920 going eight of ten on two pointers in this game. It looks like he's 631 00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:17.000 shooting better than ever. I pause to say that because we're talking about our 632 00:47:17.039 --> 00:47:22.360 top seventy five player of all time. So it's crazy a little bit, 633 00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:29.360 but I'm going to because the one thing you can work on when you got 634 00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:32.719 that lower body injury is shooting. And while it took him a while to 635 00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:37.360 get his legs underneath him this season, and just getting a rhythm and catching 636 00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:43.000 a rhythm and getting back on the grind after a couple of setbacks with the 637 00:47:43.039 --> 00:47:46.880 ankle and the right knee earlier in the year, he looks great his elevations 638 00:47:46.960 --> 00:47:52.440 there and so the jumpers fall in the Midia's fallen. Three pointers are fallen 639 00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:58.920 now and Kawhi Leonard looks absolutely dominant and the part of a guy who can 640 00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:02.639 compete for in the conversation of best player in the league once again. Tags 641 00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:07.840 and Walnut help close things out here on Clippers stock. What's up, hey, 642 00:48:07.920 --> 00:48:12.559 Adam. If Quiet was in the NFL, he would lead and pick 643 00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:17.880 sixes. Yeah, there's got some some Ed Reid, he's a ball hawk. 644 00:48:21.559 --> 00:48:28.159 Two things. One you brought up and you know people have been bringing 645 00:48:28.239 --> 00:48:30.800 up, you know, the traditional point guard. Traditional point guard to me 646 00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:37.559 works if you can shoot from the outside. So the Rondo experiment to me 647 00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:42.559 and the John Wall so far hasn't worked well because they can't shoot from the 648 00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:46.199 outside that well, and which is definitely something to that, because you've got 649 00:48:46.239 --> 00:48:50.199 to be able to play off the ball when you're playing next to Kawai and 650 00:48:50.239 --> 00:48:52.039 Paul George out there, they can't just be in their right and which is 651 00:48:52.119 --> 00:49:00.239 why Reggie compliments on catching shoots really well and which I think he's still kind 652 00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:04.760 of valuable and I would like to see you and stick around because he does 653 00:49:04.880 --> 00:49:10.440 fit well with them when they're all together. And the second point is you 654 00:49:10.639 --> 00:49:15.519 mentioned, and I also think that this road trip is a big test to 655 00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:19.840 see where we're at. For me, what I'm going to be looking at 656 00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:25.000 is when we play like Cleveland and Milwaukee, how do we candle their bigs 657 00:49:25.039 --> 00:49:29.960 and do we give up a lot of offensive rebounds or can we limit it? 658 00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:32.159 Because because the elite teams, we've been giving up a lot of offensive 659 00:49:32.199 --> 00:49:36.280 rebound and second chance points and if we do that, we're not gonna be 660 00:49:36.320 --> 00:49:39.159 able to win. So if we can limit that and on the other end, 661 00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:45.000 get some offensive rebounds because they're truly believing that you need second chance points 662 00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:49.239 to beat these elite teams. So how does a small ball lineup work? 663 00:49:49.679 --> 00:49:53.679 And if not, well we see some Moses Brown for intervals, because I 664 00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:59.599 think there is something to having a big play, a traditional big along with 665 00:50:00.519 --> 00:50:02.840 a small lineup. It's like the two met center. I would like to 666 00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:07.880 see both during that stretch all right day. Just you're right, I think 667 00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:13.280 that's something the key in on and look for. That's gonna be a big 668 00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:15.840 test for this team before we get out of here. Though, I do 669 00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:20.320 want you to hear from Paul George. He had thirty five and thirty five 670 00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:22.239 minutes. Here. He was postgame on Valley Sports with Jamie Mojo. I 671 00:50:22.280 --> 00:50:27.559 believe, Paul, you guys put up one hundred and thirty eight points against 672 00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:30.320 the Spurs team tonight, fifty eight percent shooting from the field. The offense 673 00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:35.920 has continued to impress and improved. What has allowed you guys to get into 674 00:50:35.960 --> 00:50:40.719 this rhythm. I think our ability just to share the ball, play together. 675 00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:45.199 That's really what it comes down to. I think, you know, 676 00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:49.280 we worked out all the little kinks and found the recipe, and the recipe 677 00:50:49.360 --> 00:50:53.440 is everybody touches it. Our offense is going to play at a high level. 678 00:50:53.800 --> 00:50:57.360 We got enough talent offensively. We got a lot of playmakers, a 679 00:50:57.400 --> 00:51:00.039 lot of scores that can put the ball in a basket. We just gotta, 680 00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:06.800 you know, understand that we don't gotta force anything and uh pretty much 681 00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:09.280 just let the ball dictate who who shoots the ball, everybody getting in on 682 00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:13.360 the offense. But after the game on Tuesday, when you guys were able 683 00:51:13.400 --> 00:51:15.679 to hold off the Lakers and get the win, you said that you saw 684 00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:21.159 growth tonight. You guys had that dominant first half and then you never let 685 00:51:21.280 --> 00:51:24.760 San Antonio get back in this game. Is that another level of growth for 686 00:51:24.840 --> 00:51:30.320 this team? Yeah? Absolutely. Our first quarters, uh, statistically haven't 687 00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:35.679 been our best in terms of putting it together on both ends, and our 688 00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:38.880 third quarters have been slow where we've kind of eas ease back into the half. 689 00:51:39.280 --> 00:51:43.920 I thought we did a great job the first and a third. We 690 00:51:44.039 --> 00:51:46.320 had an approach to put this team away and put him away early, and 691 00:51:47.280 --> 00:51:52.199 you know, we we just regardless of who came in, you know, 692 00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:55.119 we we continue to just play our style and uh, you know we're able 693 00:51:55.159 --> 00:52:00.519 to increase the league season long four game win streak for this team, which 694 00:52:00.559 --> 00:52:04.320 is great to see, especially because we're heading out on the road now for 695 00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:07.880 six games that Grammy trip. How do you guys carry this momentum over again? 696 00:52:08.039 --> 00:52:13.320 Just one game at a time. I think we're dialing into the game 697 00:52:13.400 --> 00:52:16.119 plan. We're trusting the game plan, we're trusting the process, we're trusting 698 00:52:16.159 --> 00:52:21.000 each other, and again, it just comes down to take it on one 699 00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:23.239 game at a time. We'll get to what we need to get to. 700 00:52:24.159 --> 00:52:29.119 But I think we're watching film and we're making the corrections on a nightly basis, 701 00:52:29.199 --> 00:52:31.760 So it's it's showing up and it's the reason why we're on a four 702 00:52:31.800 --> 00:52:36.559 game win street right now. Fun one tonight. Thanks appreciated, Thank you, 703 00:52:36.639 --> 00:52:40.199 all right, guys.
