WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.480 The game is over. Paul George money in the pain, but the postgame 2 00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:09.039 reaction has just be gone. GOHI Leonard is so smooth in the mid range. 3 00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:13.640 This is Clippers locker Roo, a recap of today's game and a look 4 00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:18.519 ahead on your home for La Clippers Basketball at now your host, You, 5 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:25.559 sir, are a bad man, Adam Oslin. Staring at the possibility of 6 00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:31.920 their worst loss of the season, the Clippers come through with flying colors and 7 00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:37.320 have an unreal fourth quarter where they held the Memphis Grizzlies to just nine points 8 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.960 in the final nine minutes, and they go on to win one thirty five 9 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:47.600 to one twenty nine in classic Clippers come back fashion. Welcome in your postgame 10 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:52.439 show. I'm Adam Oslin coming up. We will have second half highlights, 11 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:57.359 we will have fourth quarter highlights for you. We'll get to your final box 12 00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.840 score. You'll hear from coachlu and the player. But first back to your 13 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:06.359 voice of the Clippers, Noah Eagle, who also performed at the highest level 14 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:10.239 at the end of this one and rose to the occasion once again, Big 15 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:15.640 brother Jake with the applause. Noah, I gotta believe and we'll find out 16 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:21.120 soon on Wednesday. But if they start to roll some wins together, this 17 00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.920 will be the game you'll look back upon and say it like you did. 18 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.519 Something was born out of this night, no doubt about it. So let's 19 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.560 just go through a couple of things here, Adam, a couple of stats 20 00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:36.120 that really encapsulate what happened here tonight. Clippers outscore the Grizzlies thirty eight to 21 00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.879 seventeen and the fourth quarter after getting outscored fifty one to thirty in the third 22 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.840 quarter, So they get outscored by twenty one. They then deliver the same 23 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.879 pain back the other way, which is almost unheard of. They outscore the 24 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.519 Grizzlies twenty eight to eight in the final eight forty four. But maybe even 25 00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.879 more impressively, the Clippers are the first team to win a game after giving 26 00:01:53.959 --> 00:02:00.439 up fifty points in the quarter since nineteen ninety one, twenty two years excuse 27 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.959 me, thirty two years since that has happened. I was told no one 28 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.039 ever scored fifty points in a quarterback that I've been lied to. You have 29 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:14.280 you have been lied too, But all is to say you set up before. 30 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.479 The Clippers always seem to have the best when their best is required when 31 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.039 their back is against the wall. Let's think about it, two years ago, 32 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:22.840 how many comeback wins? Last year? How many comeback wins? But 33 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.159 more importantly, the playoff run from two years ago, down o two to 34 00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:30.280 Dallas, down three two to Dallas, had something ready. They were down 35 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.680 thirty to eleven in Game three and a packed American Airlines Arena and still found 36 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.199 a way through that one. Kawhi Leonard had one of the greatest old time 37 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:43.280 performances in Game six of that series, down two to Utah, the number 38 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.240 one team in the NBA that year, they found a way through, even 39 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:52.719 with Kawhi Leonard tearing his ACL and then down three one to Phoenix. Phoenix. 40 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:57.080 I showed up to Phoenix that day game five, and they literally had 41 00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.800 champagne ready for not just the players, but the broadcasters and everybody. Champagne 42 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.199 cake and they were saying before the game, today is going to be a 43 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.439 special day. And Paul George put together a playoff career high forty one points 44 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.159 and they get the wind to force a game six. They would lose the 45 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:15.120 game six, but this is what this team's identity has been, so now 46 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.719 to have it happen because it feels like it hasn't happened this year. They 47 00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:22.479 had one game in Portland where they had a big comeback Norman Powell just dragged 48 00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.599 him through it without Kawhi and PG. But it feels like it has not 49 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:29.599 happened consistently enough this year. It had flipped, it flipped, it had 50 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.879 been the other way. And so for this to happen right now now with 51 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:36.960 fifteen games left after today and eleven of those games being at home, and 52 00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.599 practice time coming up, and the vibes being where they're going to be after 53 00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:45.560 a win like this, dangerous, dangerous, dangerous, dangerous time, and 54 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.599 so the Clippers need to take advantage of this momentum that they built today. 55 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:53.159 No eagle cooking here. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard combined for twenty five of 56 00:03:53.199 --> 00:04:00.199 the clippers thirty eight points in that fourth quarter. Kawai was going in a 57 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:04.439 playoff game six in Dallas, had to have it type of mode. Absolutely, 58 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:08.919 playoff mode was activated there in the last nine minutes. Kawhi Leonard, 59 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.560 he wasn't given up the basketball. He was taking big shots, so was 60 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.040 Paul George. But that tipping and then the steel on the other end. 61 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.439 Those may have been the play of the game. So you mentioned Kawhi. 62 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:23.720 Let's just go into this for a second. He comes into the game in 63 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.920 the fourth quarter. At him, and the Clippers were down sixteen points in 64 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.800 the fourth quarter with about eight and a half minutes from so they outscore the 65 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.240 rest of the way, or excuse me, not down sixteen. I'm sorry 66 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:38.600 about that. I had fourteen. No, where are you at? That's 67 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.240 still wrong? So he was he was a plus sixteen in the fourth quarter. 68 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.839 So yeah, it was probably about that. All this to say, 69 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.720 he comes in, they were down a lot of points, and then they 70 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.959 weren't down a lot of points after a little bit. But I stopped cooking. 71 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:53.639 Now I'm just freezing my stuff. But Kawhi shot head back up in 72 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:57.439 the fourth quarter, was four or five from the floor, was one for 73 00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:00.800 Okay, I'm really looking and some strange things here, Hey, and I 74 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.879 come back like this. How is this possible? Adam? Can you explain 75 00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:09.639 this to me? He was four or five from the floor, but he 76 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:15.040 was one for two from three. Oh yeah, that makes sense. Miss. 77 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:16.680 I do I do words. I don't math, I do I do 78 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.040 words on numbers. At him? This is why I do words for a 79 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:23.319 living and I speak all this to say, yes, he was absolutely in 80 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.759 playoff mode. And look, Kawhi Leonard's been around enough big time teams. 81 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.399 He's been on enough playoff and championship hopeful teams to know when a game is 82 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.319 a must win and when the situation calls for him to go into superman mode. 83 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.439 And Paul George did a great job through three quarters to help carry this 84 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.560 offense. He had thirty two points through three quarters, but Kawhi was sitting 85 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.040 at just nineteen on fifteen shots. He recognized, I have to do more. 86 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:47.519 I need to be better. And how about the two of them? 87 00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:51.439 Clippers go small for the final eight minutes and change, and that's when they 88 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:56.639 go on their run against Jaren Jackson Junior, who generally punishes those small ball 89 00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.720 lineups. And yet today, because of the defense that Kawai and Paul Jorge 90 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.240 played and more importantly, the rebounding that they secured down the stretch, the 91 00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:08.560 Clippers found their way through. And it's not just that they won this type 92 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.439 of victory that reminds them of who they are and how they have to play 93 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.480 to win ball games. Noah Eagle, it's something we've been looking for all 94 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.600 season long, because quite frankly, I've been critical at times where I've thought 95 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:24.160 that they maybe feel they're all flip the switch team. That's a dangerous mentality 96 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:28.800 sometimes. But tonight they had that switch when they needed it late in the 97 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:32.319 fourth quarter. They found away, and I just love seeing them actually lock 98 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.439 in on that defensive end where they have dipped in and out of it all 99 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:40.199 season long. This team has been consistently and consistent on the defensive end when 100 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.879 they had to have it. The two on three connection I thought led the 101 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.399 way you mentioned it. It was Kawhi Leonard on Jones. He was playing 102 00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:49.000 lockdown defense and it looked like Memphis didn't know what hit him. So Tyre's 103 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:55.600 Jones in this game. He went into half with five points. He was 104 00:06:55.639 --> 00:07:00.079 a minus two with a half. He scored twenty points in the quarter and 105 00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:04.759 was a plus twenty one in the quarter. And then guess what he did 106 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:10.959 in the fourth quarter, Serro, he had zero points. At him. 107 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.879 He did not spe quite the feast or fan in game. Yeah, he 108 00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:16.079 did not score in the fourth quarter. He only went oh for one and 109 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.800 then one was an airball from three. That was it. So he had 110 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.439 two assists in the fourth quarter. That was all he did. It's all 111 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:25.879 he provided. He was great tonight, Don't get me wrong. And I 112 00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:28.759 said before the game, I'm a huge Tias Jones fan. I think that 113 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.279 he is someone that any team should want, and any team that has is 114 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.199 very fortunate to have him because of all the intangibles that he brings. He 115 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:38.800 had five steals in this game too. But the defense Kawhi Leonard played on 116 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.959 him, the defense that Paul George played on Desmond Bane, a little bit 117 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.920 of everything from this team, certainly on the defensive end in that fourth quarter. 118 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.199 And I'm gonna be honest with you if I were a betting man, 119 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.399 which I'm not, but if I were a betting man, I go back 120 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:54.079 to that Atlanta game from two years ago, the twenty two point comeback. 121 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:58.160 You mentioned flip the switch. The Clippers were not flipping the switch. After 122 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.319 that, they started to recognize agency had to come from beginnings. Urgency had 123 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.439 to come early in games. They had to start on the right foot. 124 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.040 They can't just always be coming back last year to look you're it's talent deficit. 125 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.639 No, Kawhi Leonard for the whole year no Paul George for two thirds 126 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:15.839 of the season. I get it, but I felt like something really did 127 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.839 change in their mentality and their approach after that Atlanta game two years ago. 128 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.279 If I were a betting man, and I'm not at them, but if 129 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.120 I were a betting man, I would tell you that their their mentality changes 130 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.759 after this game. I would tell you that they come out they look different. 131 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.639 They got practice time coming out the Pride. Get the day off tomorrow 132 00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:35.559 and practice on Tuesday. Then you've got a game on Wednesday. Then maybe 133 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.080 you get a day off, or maybe you practice both Thursday and Friday, 134 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.879 then a game on Sunday, and guess what, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 135 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:45.279 all off before taking out Orlando next Thursday. So time coming up, you 136 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.360 can work through the Kings and you can make sure that mentality is here to 137 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.399 stay. I'm hoping the lever they broke off in the fourth quarter after they 138 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.720 had to flip it so hard that they can't go back to playing the same 139 00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:00.679 basketball they were, that it stays on. That father was upset that the 140 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.600 lights are on in the house all day twenty four seven. I do want 141 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.360 to show some love to Russell Westbrook, who had the big and one late 142 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.240 in this one little chirp too. You know, they brought him in one 143 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.200 of the reasons because of the competitive streak he has and the fire and emotion 144 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.360 he plays with. And as the crowd was in a frenzy, it was 145 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.480 Russ who got him going even more with that shot. Yeah, no question 146 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.639 about it. So nine points, five rebounds, six assists. The numbers 147 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.120 aren't eye popping, and they're not what he was providing on a consistent basis 148 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.600 in Oklahoma City, or even in Washington, or even at times with the 149 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.120 Lakers, or even the course of this season sixteen point six forwards, seven 150 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.960 and a half assist per game. But what he did provide was energy. 151 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.120 He played thirty four minutes tonight, he only took nine shots, so he 152 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.440 was economical with what he was doing on the offensive end, and to your 153 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.200 point, when the matter and when the moment required him to be great, 154 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.039 he found a way to be great. And he's made a couple of big 155 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.360 plays in the fourth quarter this season already for the Clippers, in the first 156 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.879 six games he's played. Think about the Sacramento game. It's a big shot, 157 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.919 gets to the rim. Those are huge plays. It looked like we're 158 00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.320 gonna get the Clippers to win in regulation of that game. In the Denver 159 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.559 game, he doesn't really play a whole lot in the fourth quarter. In 160 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.960 fact, he didn't play at all in the fourth quarter. But he comes 161 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.519 back hit a huge three ball in the Minnesota game to keep the Clippers close, 162 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.960 and a driving lay up in that game. He's had some big fourth 163 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.399 quarter moments, and even on Friday against Sacramento, he was huge in the 164 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.159 fourth quarter. He was the reason the Clippers had a chance to win that 165 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.440 game down the street. So sure, he had to turnover with fifteen seconds 166 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.960 left, I get it, But if it wasn't for everything else that he 167 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:30.440 provided his passing in that fourth quarter, his shot making in that fourth quarter 168 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:33.360 from the mid range is getting to the basket into the free throw line, 169 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.279 the Clippers wouldn't have even been in that ball game. So I think overall, 170 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.240 Russ has played very well. He's starting to settle in more and more 171 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.039 into that role that they expect of him, playing some opportunistic defense, I 172 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:48.240 thought, grabs some huge rebounds today. You gotta give him praise and give 173 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.559 credit where credits due. So far in his Clippers' tenure. He's been very 174 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.000 solid and after having a turnover this time in the fourth he had a steal 175 00:10:54.080 --> 00:11:01.559 on the other end right afterwards and completely redeemed himself as they win one thirty 176 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:07.679 five to one twenty nine after trailing big in the fourth quarter. I only 177 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.200 have one more question for you here, Noah, it's gotta be the shoes, 178 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:18.720 right, big shoes. The Magic Chucks are big, a little good 179 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.600 luck charm for Big brother Jake. This one even better because we had an 180 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:28.000 extended talk here with Noah Eagle. That means we gave producer Katie tons of 181 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:31.559 time to pack it. A lot of highlights from this fourth quarter for this 182 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.879 tremendous Clippers classic comeback to night over the Memphis Grizzlies. They win one thirty 183 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:41.200 five to one twenty nine. Clipper Nation. If you were here in the 184 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.039 building, you were in for a treat.

A third quarter was not kind to the 202 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:09.919 Clippers. It was unreal actually to watch Memphis put up fifty one points, 203 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:18.279 went ten of thirteen from three and outscored the Clippers by twenty one in twelve 204 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.039 minutes after the Clippers had a six point lead at the half. But the 205 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:26.759 fourth quarter, when it looked like the Clippers were down and out and the 206 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:31.000 season was slipping away as they had lost five in a row, you gotta 207 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.840 rely on your superstars, and it was Kauai, Paul George and Russ got 208 00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.960 into the act as well. Laid in this one. George on the right 209 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:43.440 elbow, guarded by con Chart, driving middle into the paint. Fens offloads 210 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:48.240 it up and gets the role of Paul George with thirty six one eleven. 211 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.720 George attacking on Roddy Girl, step in the lane, kick at Leonard, 212 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:56.519 swing it Gordon, Pumpy, get it inside George all alone for a two 213 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:01.639 handed rim rattler thirty eight for George. Clippers within eight they've shaved seven off 214 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.159 the deficit. Five minutes into the fourth one twenty one one thirteen, there 215 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.879 comes George right to left into the front court, got it by Tillman. 216 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:13.679 George pullan from twenty straight away, got it to go forty for Paul George 217 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.519 one twenty one one fifteen clips back within two possessions Leonard of fifteen twitter. 218 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:24.320 It's good from the far side. Cowhide Leonard with twenty one. Clippers are 219 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.799 within four. They have shathed with eleven points off the fifteen point deficit, 220 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.480 and they've got a to within two possessions.

Here's Adam Oslin. In their darkest hour, 270 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:51.079 the comeback Clips came through. They were down fourteen with nine minutes left 271 00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:53.400 in this one of the Memphis Grizzlies, just to win one thirty five to 272 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:57.319 one twenty nine. Welcome in to Clippers Stalk. I'm out of Oslin to 273 00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:02.440 eight six six nine eight seven two seventy eight six six nine eight seven two 274 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:07.279 five seventy if you'd like to get on after this critical, huge, necessary, 275 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:12.359 basically must win victory for the Clippers, and they did so in dramatic 276 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:15.200 fashion, to say the least. Coming up, we're gonna hear from Coach 277 00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:19.400 Low and the players. But while we have a moment, let's pause ten 278 00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:25.440 seconds for station identification. Here on AM five seventy LA Sports, this is 279 00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:32.880 LA Clippers Basketball A five seventy KLAC Los Angeles seven KYSR HD to Los Angeles 280 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:40.839 and iHeart Radio station. The Clippers were staring at their sixth straight loss and 281 00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:45.960 looked absolutely lifeless and helpless on the defense, event as they gave up a 282 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:51.640 fifty one spot in the third quarter to Memphis, who went ten of thirteen 283 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:59.160 from the outside, an unbelievable, believable shooting display by a team that's down 284 00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:03.920 three stars. But they still had Taias Jones and Desmond Baine and Triple Jay 285 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:08.480 and Jaren Jackson Junior who had a huge throwdown. But it looked like the 286 00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.720 Clippers defense that we had seen throughout a lot of this year and especially over 287 00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.759 the last couple of months, where teams were shooting over forty percent from the 288 00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:22.440 outside on them. Tonight, though, Memphis at one point at the end 289 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:27.039 of the third quarter, was at sixty percent from three at seventeen of twenty 290 00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:32.920 eight, and they led by fifteen heading into the fourth after the Clippers had 291 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:37.480 a six point lead at the half, and things didn't get much better early 292 00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:42.079 on in that fourth quarter, Grizzlies were up by sixteen. Clippers still couldn't 293 00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:47.240 get anything going and looked to be out of position and out of sorts on 294 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:52.160 the defensive end, and the season was on the brink. You can't lose 295 00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.480 six games in a row this deep into the year, not with what's happening 296 00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:00.279 in the Western Conference standings, not with the Clippers starting this game in the 297 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:06.039 A spot, meaning in the play in tournament tonight. They had to figure 298 00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:10.680 this out, and they did so on the backs of the two one three 299 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:15.400 connection who's legacies may have been on the line. If you believe the season 300 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.039 was on the line, it wasn't just that it was the two one three 301 00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:23.640 era. It would start with believe it or not, he's been struggling, 302 00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:29.359 but Marcus Morris hit a couple of big shots in the fourth quarter. Loved 303 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:33.759 to see it. A big jumper, a three pointer, Paul George got 304 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.319 to the free through a line. He was aggressive throughout this one and finished 305 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.519 with forty two PG. Thirteen looked as surprise. We have seen him all 306 00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:48.480 season long dealing with that right knee injury, right knee soreness. He absolutely 307 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:52.519 had a different level of explosiveness and athleticism out there tonight. He had a 308 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:59.599 sense of urgency. But the Clippers were still disconnected on defense. They've been 309 00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:04.920 eight teenth defensively since November. First. The personnel is too good for them 310 00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:10.160 to be that bad for that long, basically the entire season. After the 311 00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:14.400 first seven games, it didn't make sense. It was perplexing, baffling, 312 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:18.880 couldn't figure it out, and tonight it looked to be their worst job on 313 00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:22.079 that end. They were given up open shot after open shot, and Memphis 314 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:29.960 missed some too in that fourth, but the Clippers around the nine minute mark, 315 00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:34.359 being down one twenty to one h seven, got those two free throws 316 00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:38.400 from Paul George. Then he has a driving lay up through traffic, just 317 00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:41.440 like the ones he hit against the Sacramento Kings late where he had that tough, 318 00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.440 slithering layup. We thought maybe it would have been the difference of the 319 00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:51.359 ballgame couldn't get the victory Friday night, felt like they had forgotten how to 320 00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:56.079 win during this five game losing streak not an exaggeration. They lost in so 321 00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:00.359 many different ways. They had a lead against the Golden State Warriors that led 322 00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.440 them to go four for their next thirty two from the field in the second 323 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.319 half to lose that one and get blown out. They lost multiple times in 324 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.839 overtime to the Kings, to Denver, and then to the Kings by one 325 00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:19.279 again Friday Night. Papa George then goes on to have four six eight straight 326 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:26.720 points for the Clippers between the eight forty four mark of the fourth to the 327 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:32.000 six thirty five mark and then the other half of the two one three connection 328 00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:36.559 the two. Kawhi Leonard, who's number two to No. One, hits 329 00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:42.640 a jumper and you could see it. The momentum had shifted. All of 330 00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:48.319 a sudden. The Clippers are within four with five twenty six left, five 331 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.119 forty six left. It's one twenty one, two, one seventeen, and 332 00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:53.920 Kawhi had that look. And I know he doesn't show a lot of emotion 333 00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:59.839 normally, but you can tell when he's playing at a faster pace and he 334 00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.960 hits a three pointer, brings them to within one, and then has a 335 00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:11.319 huge throwdown after another defensive stop by the Clippers where he took it coast to 336 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.920 coast and would not be denied. And if you watch that replay, this 337 00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:21.799 isn't Kawhi Leonard with a deadpan, nonchalant look on his face like he had 338 00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:25.599 in that famous picture of him from behind the backboard of that Dunkey had with 339 00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:30.359 the Spurs ten years ago. This was a guy screaming as he threw it 340 00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:33.400 down. This was someone who knew the stakes, knew they had to have 341 00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:37.759 it, and knew he had to take over. So you get eighth straight 342 00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:45.000 from from first Paul George the first two minutes of this comeback. Then Kawhi 343 00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:52.839 Leonard has nine straight points. And speaking of emotion, Russell Westbrook, who 344 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.839 had struggled in this one and the Clippers had not won a game since they 345 00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:02.200 brought him in, it is not all on him. That certainly is a 346 00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:07.720 popular lazy narrative by people who don't watch games. But Russell Westbrook did struggle 347 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.279 on this one, and he had a turnover in the fourth, but then 348 00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.400 he had steel took it right back. He went to the basket on a 349 00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.279 play where the Clippers offensively it looked like things had stalled out. He saw 350 00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:26.160 a crease in the defense and had a driving, tough layup and one opportunity. 351 00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:29.759 He sunk the free throwers well, and the Clippers are up one twenty 352 00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:32.480 seven to one twenty three all of a sudden. With two forty seven left 353 00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:37.400 in the fourth, Kawai would stick another jumper, as he had fifteen points 354 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.359 in the fourth. He would hit two free throws, but Desmond Vain and 355 00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:47.000 the Grizzlies weren't going away. He had an and one of his own. 356 00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:52.480 Luke Kennard, is he a new Clippers killer? After being a killer for 357 00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:56.839 the Clippers? Luke Nukem, we love him. He got his tribute video, 358 00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:00.440 but not tonight. He went five of five from three, hit a 359 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:04.599 huge one to bring them back to within two with fifty seven seconds left, 360 00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:10.720 and on a miss in traffic on a tough layup from Russ, Paul George 361 00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:15.000 made the play of the game, the tip in that he had the rebound 362 00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:22.200 that he snagged to get it back up and in if the Clippers are able 363 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:23.920 to turn things around, that's a shot we're gonna be looking at for a 364 00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:30.240 long time. That was all heart, all effort in traffic, multiple Grizzlies 365 00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:34.319 there, and he got it and put it back in and then had a 366 00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:38.279 steal on the other end on Jaren Jackson Jr. Kawhi would knock down two 367 00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:47.400 free throws and the Clippers come back town fourteen with nine minutes left to win 368 00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:56.240 by six in a game they had to have unbelievable. Let's hear from one 369 00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:59.920 of the heroes of the ball game. We got postgame audio from Valley Sport. 370 00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:06.920 It's Kawhi Leonard after he has fifteen of his thirty four in the fourth 371 00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:12.119 quarter, speaking with Rosina peak. Why this is the biggest home comeback for 372 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:17.680 you guys this season, overcoming a sixteen point deficit. How are you guys 373 00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:22.720 able to engineer this comeback so quickly in the fourth quarter? Our defense finally, 374 00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:26.519 you know, caught up to our offense, and I mean it just 375 00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:30.000 made our offense go. We got stops, rebounds, pushed the pace and 376 00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.440 we end up making shots in that fourth quarter. You guys certainly made shots 377 00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:38.319 and you took over here late fifteen of your thirty four points here in the 378 00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:41.960 fourth How were you able to plug on and get your rhythm going. I 379 00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:45.680 just staying with it. I like all the shots that I got tonight, 380 00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:52.079 miss him early, and I'll just stay focused and confident. The confidence of 381 00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:55.960 this group never seemed to wavered even during this losing skit. But to get 382 00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.359 this w after the All Star break, how important was this one for this 383 00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:02.440 group? That was good? You know, we finally got to close out 384 00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:06.000 a game that was coming down to the wire. Of the first couple of 385 00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:07.960 games it went the other way, and you know, hopefully well the keep 386 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:15.920 building off of these all right speaks, softly carry a lethal mid range jumper. 387 00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:21.599 That's Kawhi Leonard. Man a few words, but many big points. 388 00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:23.720 Down the stretch of this one, he had fifteen of his thirty four. 389 00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:29.559 Once again, Clippers come back down by sixteen, the fourth down by fourteen. 390 00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:33.720 With nine minutes left, Paul George has forty two. The two on 391 00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:40.759 three connection came alive and defensively. When Kawhi Leonard was switched onto Taias Jones, 392 00:28:41.880 --> 00:28:47.160 it was finally, I think the Clippers flipping a switch defensively. We'll 393 00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:52.039 find out. We hope that's the case, that they found their hunger, 394 00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:56.240 their sense of urgency because it needs to be forty eight minutes if you're gonna 395 00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:00.880 be a championship ball club. But tonight they just had to have it. 396 00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:04.319 And considering the way they got it, this could have leakes, this could 397 00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:08.000 be a momentum win. We'll find out. On Wednesday. They're taking on 398 00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:11.960 the Toronto Raptors eight six six nine eight seven two seventy eight six six ninety 399 00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:17.400 seven two five seventy. Let's go to the phones here, we got Damien 400 00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:22.599 in La Damien here on, Clippers, stop with that. I'm assled hod 401 00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.200 On triple a man quality win, quality win today. You know, here's 402 00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:30.359 the thing, here's the thing. Yeah, this is the Memphis team just 403 00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:36.000 riddled with injuries. They got the issue with John Morand who suspended a couple 404 00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:40.000 of games, right, and you thought the Clippers had an opportunity to get 405 00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:44.160 right, to put their foot on the neck of a team to dominate. 406 00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.920 And that's not what happened. It was the same inconsistent Clippers team that we've 407 00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:53.640 seen all season long until they had to have it and their backs were against 408 00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:57.440 the wall, and I set it pregame. They gotta come out swinging because 409 00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:00.400 this is as close as you can get to a must win game. And 410 00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:04.519 they felt it. You could tell they felt it when Kawhi all of a 411 00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:10.200 sudden and Paul george are playing on the perimeter. Defense like that where they 412 00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:15.000 held Memphis to seventeen points in the fourth quarter, helped scored them thirty eight 413 00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:19.440 to seventeen, and from some of the worst defense I had seen all season. 414 00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:22.240 And that's saying something for a team that hasn't been good enough on that 415 00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:26.559 end. So some of the best defense I've seen all year, that's what 416 00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:30.359 occurred within the last nine minutes of this ball game. They flipped a switch. 417 00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:36.000 It's dangerous. I've said it before. If you're not a championship team 418 00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:41.319 or have that championship trophy, have the hardware already to believe you're a flip 419 00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:45.240 the switch team, that could be dangerous. But you know what, with 420 00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.480 fifteen games left, and Paul Georgia said it, we believe you get us 421 00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:52.799 in a seven game series. We're healthy, We're good, We're gonna be 422 00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:59.319 a tough out at this point. They have to have that mentality. They 423 00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:00.839 definitely have to have that. You know, I thought it was great, 424 00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:06.680 you know that last play. You know, people were talking about with Russell 425 00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:11.400 that turnover. Can't really put that all on him. Basketball dictates that when 426 00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:15.119 your point guard is trapped in the backcourt, you've come to the basketball. 427 00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:18.559 Nobody came to the basketball. So I'm gonna let him off the hook for 428 00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.359 that turnover, especially because he, uh, he made up for it. 429 00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.720 I was really happy to see something flip a switch in the in the whole 430 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:29.759 team tonight. You know. I really seemed like when Paul George took that 431 00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:32.640 hit to the mouth that these guys woke up, you know, and I 432 00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:34.680 knew they weren't gonna let Paul get hit in the mouth by Memphis and not 433 00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:38.160 do anything about that. You know, this team, this Memphis teams, 434 00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:41.559 they do this to people, Adam, They bring this out of people, 435 00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:45.000 and it really sucks that it took us to the end of the season to 436 00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:51.599 play them, but hey, better late than never. I think it's something 437 00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:56.000 positive though. I saw a look in Kauai's eyes the night, you know, 438 00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:59.079 on the I was watching the game and I saw something in one of 439 00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:01.440 those last time man, you had that eye of the tiger. And then 440 00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:06.720 he let loose and you know, he went off fifteen and the fourth Kawi's 441 00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:08.640 been doing it all year, Paula George has been doing it all year. 442 00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:12.839 When those guys are healthy, they are, you know, as good as 443 00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:15.640 goals. What I love to seeing is the role players that we have there, 444 00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:20.359 Eric Gordon getting in the mix, you know, Russell Westbrook bringing a 445 00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:24.359 lot of intensity, even Plumbly bringing a lot of intensity. It's like having 446 00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:28.599 Zoo on the court at all times. Really it is, because they do 447 00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:31.799 a lot of the same things. So here's the problem. That intensity was 448 00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:37.839 not translating and hasn't translated to good defense. They haven't played. They have 449 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:42.160 been the worst team since the All Star Break with points given up in the 450 00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:45.559 paint, and tonight they ended up giving up sixty four points in the paint 451 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:49.359 to the Grizzlies, and when they went ten of thirteen from three in the 452 00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:52.079 third quarter, Memphis was getting wide open looks or guys who were late on 453 00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:54.839 clothes outs to the point where it doesn't matter anymore if you get a hand 454 00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:59.640 in their face because the ball is basically released. Yeah, when we get 455 00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:02.839 plumb me back in his spot coming off the bench and Zoo's healthy, I 456 00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:07.119 think that that's gonna be a vicious two headed monster, you know, to 457 00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:09.240 the point where you know, if we're up that they might even be able 458 00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:14.319 to play off one another because Plumby's pretty good faster and him not having the 459 00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:17.200 responsibility of locking down the pan on his own could be real scary. But 460 00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:22.640 I really like what I saw, you know, take that to all of 461 00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:27.039 the Westbrooks Flanders out there. You know, he did everything that he needed 462 00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:30.599 to do and he really helps, you know, get us this win. 463 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:34.839 So I'm happy about how everything's fitting together. I think moving forward, we 464 00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:37.799 just get some practices. This could be scary, but you know, our 465 00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:40.559 team, man, we play the best with our backs against the wall. 466 00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:45.519 Now is the time. Let's get it all right, Damnan. I appreciate 467 00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:51.480 the phone call. That's been their identity in this era, the comebacks. 468 00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:57.039 The big twenty point comeback a couple of years ago against Atlanta, granted had 469 00:33:57.079 --> 00:34:00.680 happened earlier in the season, but it seemed to start something up for this 470 00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:06.880 Clippers team. They've had the most twenty point comebacks over the last three seasons. 471 00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:09.719 No one has done it better. No one has been more dangerous and 472 00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:15.920 at their best when they're down and everybody's counting them out than the Clippers hell 473 00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:20.599 in twenty nineteen. In that year, in the first round against the Kevin 474 00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:25.920 Durant Golden State Warriors, they had a thirty one point comeback. Obviously a 475 00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:32.079 lot of roster turnover since then, but that's the biggest playoff comeback ever and 476 00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:37.360 the Clippers with thirty five point That thirty five point comeback in DC second biggest 477 00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:43.599 comeback of all time any game in the National Basketball Association by just one point. 478 00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:51.800 To see them find themselves, relocate that identity that they've been searching for, 479 00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:58.679 because they should be a good defensive team. They need to be the 480 00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:02.039 player personnel t This should be a good team on that end. But I 481 00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:06.519 saw a bunch of guys throughout most of this season getting beat off the dribil 482 00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:09.360 too often, not being sharp on rotations, not covering from one another. 483 00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:15.000 It seemed like after the first seven games where Viza Zubos was playing out of 484 00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:20.519 his mind before getting banged up at one point, now a few different points 485 00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:22.920 of the season, they were just relying on him to make up for mistakes. 486 00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:29.800 They put too much on him, and guys developed a lot of bad 487 00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:35.599 habits. Can they be undone with fifteen games left? Can they finally start 488 00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:42.440 putting together quarters and string wins together by playing for a full forty eight minutes 489 00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:46.000 where you're locked in on both sides yet to be determined. But they had 490 00:35:46.039 --> 00:35:49.800 to get this one, and to get it in this fashion, in this 491 00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:54.840 manner, maybe exactly what the doctor ordered for the Clippers because they realized who 492 00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:59.880 they are in this league again, that is a gretty tough team that doesn't 493 00:35:59.880 --> 00:36:05.760 give up no matter what the score is. We'll find out a lot though 494 00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:08.440 on Wednesday. Can't come right back and lose to the Raptors, who are 495 00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:12.440 playing better basketball. Day won three in a row. We'll take a quick 496 00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:14.760 time out. We'll get back to your phone calls coming up next. Eight 497 00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:20.039 six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two 498 00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:29.280 five seventy is the phone number. Unbelievable, incendiary comeback by the Clippers late, 499 00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:34.159 and Kawhi and Paul George had their fingerprints all over this one. Those 500 00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:37.400 fifteen points Kawai had in the fourth all came in the last six minutes. 501 00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:45.400 And when Kawhi is playing at that pace, just going straight locomotive down the 502 00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:51.400 lane for a right handed throw down, it got crypto dot com. The 503 00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:57.159 crypt was alive. Believe that Lord clipperstock next during AMP five seventy Light Sports, 504 00:36:57.719 --> 00:37:01.920 George and Lennard running. You're listening to a Clippers basketball. Clipper puts 505 00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:07.800 it down plus the foul. Every game of all season long, Clippers look 506 00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:13.639 to be heading towards the bottom of them. Yeah, like Bubba fed. 507 00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:17.000 If you read the expanded fan fiction he got out of there. I don't 508 00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:21.079 know how it all worked. I was a nerd back of the day. 509 00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:22.639 I think Dan Garr was supposed to be the one that saved him. I 510 00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:27.280 don't know if Disney kept that or not. I'm sorry. Clippers down fourteen 511 00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:31.559 win, one thirty five to one twenty nine as they storm back late in 512 00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:39.280 the fourth quarter, an unbelievable comeback and a necessary victory. Clippers still in 513 00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:44.960 the A spot, but they could have dropped down the standings even more as 514 00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:49.599 two teams in front of them Dallas lost earlier, Golden State lost earlier. 515 00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:54.599 It was a good win eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight 516 00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:59.639 six six nine eight seven two five seventy. The question is is this the 517 00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:04.440 kind of victory you build on? Is this what saves their season? Or 518 00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:09.079 is it just delaying the inevitable considering who this team has been known for moments 519 00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:13.639 like this for years, and instead it was flipped around and going the other 520 00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:15.679 way on them, where teams were coming back and winning late, up by 521 00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:22.000 twenty against Philly, up by twenty one against the Milwaukee Bucks, up big 522 00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:28.280 against the Warriors, recently just to lose big. Something had changed. That 523 00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:34.800 magic seemed to be out or running out for them tonight, though when they 524 00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:38.559 needed it, they were David Copperfield making that space shuttle disappear. Clippers win 525 00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:44.679 one thirty five to one, twenty nine, down fourteen with nine left against 526 00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:47.480 the Memphis Grizzlies. Back to your phone, calls Sean and Inglewood, what's 527 00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:57.039 up here on Clippers? Stop without am Moslin, Sean Europe? Are you 528 00:38:58.679 --> 00:39:02.719 I'm better? Sean? How are you feeling well? I'll tell you Friday 529 00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:07.920 night, I probably wanted to throw something at the TV with the delians I's 530 00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:10.599 head before the last three seconds. We can't get a decent shot. But 531 00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:17.719 I just want to talk about tonight and basically today we saw Kauai and Lucas 532 00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:23.400 go off for about eighty points, and so did the combination of the Phoenix 533 00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:34.000 guys of the Durant. So yeah, the seventy two or seventy four combined 534 00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:38.559 is in that ballpark. But what we need is Paul George to bring that 535 00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:44.639 attitude that he's the number one option from the beginning of the game and go 536 00:39:44.880 --> 00:39:49.119 for it. And then Kauai will get busy too. Maybe let her get 537 00:39:49.159 --> 00:39:52.920 that attitude too. But they the Cookers need to have an edge because really 538 00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:57.960 they struggled with a team that's less talimited with them almost every time they go 539 00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:01.119 out there. They struggled with this team missing three stars, and the Kuno 540 00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:07.039 lost that game very easily until they woke up. So they need to have 541 00:40:07.280 --> 00:40:10.119 that attitude from the very beginning. Whatever they have to do to keep that 542 00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:15.119 attitude, they need to keep going at it. But I will say that 543 00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:19.599 they did finally play some defense that you alluded to. It was the exist 544 00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:23.000 thing the city. But again they were fortunate that if the other team down 545 00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:28.400 a little tired and they just start missing their shots like crazy too. But 546 00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:31.239 I'll take that W. I'll take that W and I hope this starts to 547 00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:37.519 winning three. We'll see, what do you think. I'm hopeful and I 548 00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:39.880 appreciate the phone call Sean as always, he's a regular here on Clippers Talk 549 00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:45.840 become one eight six six ninety seven two five seventy. I'm hopeful because I 550 00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:50.239 actually believe this is better than just blowing out the Memphis Grizzlies, who are 551 00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:52.079 under man tonight. I thought, coming into this one, it'd be nice 552 00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:55.800 to see the Clippers win with some style points. They're supposed to win this 553 00:40:55.920 --> 00:41:00.760 game. Memphis is down far too many guys, But you gotta remember, 554 00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:04.679 the Grizzlies just play hard all the time. They have an identity. They 555 00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:08.159 know who they are no matter who is out there. But for the Clippers 556 00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:14.800 to rediscover that identity of not giving up, of coming back on a team, 557 00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:20.400 that is what's important in this victory. I think not just that they 558 00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:23.440 won, but how they won, showing that it is in them when they 559 00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:29.719 need it to dig deep, it's still there. We haven't seen enough of 560 00:41:29.800 --> 00:41:34.440 that this season. For this team to only be a game above five hundred 561 00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:42.960 with fifteen left to play, it's shocking. But the West and being a 562 00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:47.159 top six seed that is still within range, that is still within reach. 563 00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:52.280 But tonight, I don't know if it was a must win whatever you want 564 00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:53.599 to call it. It's as close as you can get in the regular season. 565 00:41:54.840 --> 00:42:00.440 Had to have it. It's a necessary win. But for to come 566 00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:05.639 back and to come back and win by six when you're down that big, 567 00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:08.719 when you give up a fifty one point quarter in the third, a team 568 00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:15.719 hadn't lost a game when they had a fifty point quarter since nineteen ninety one. 569 00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:22.280 So the Clippers make a little bit of history Memphis, some bad history 570 00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:28.440 for them. Paul George forty two points is third forty point game this season, 571 00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:34.960 six as a Clipper season high, and free throws fourteen made on fifteen 572 00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:38.000 attempts. We talked about it a lot, and no It Ego brought up 573 00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:44.719 about this Clippers team Friday night when they lost that game to Sacramento, missing 574 00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:49.360 eight free throws and the Kings went twenty six of twenty six. But Noah 575 00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:55.719 said it often during their twenty one run and throughout the playoffs, they were 576 00:42:55.800 --> 00:43:00.679 the team that would shoot a very high percentage from the free throw line. 577 00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:06.519 It's not sexy, but you can win games in the charity stripe. The 578 00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:12.719 Clippers tonight after missing eight free throws against Sacramento, going nineteen of twenty seven 579 00:43:13.079 --> 00:43:19.159 go thirty three of thirty five, Kawhi Leonard was thirteen of thirteen, Paul 580 00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:24.000 George was fourteen of fifteen. You can win games there, and it also 581 00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:30.800 speaks to the level of aggression and activity and downhill attack and rim pressure that 582 00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:36.840 they had. Let's go to how do we got Here's it going of that 583 00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:42.039 text? And I appreciate Dennis Stagastino, statistician to the Stars, forgiving us 584 00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:47.039 that information about winning a ball game when a team has a fifty point quarter. 585 00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:51.559 David leaving the game, you're on Clippers stock with Adam Oslin. Oh 586 00:43:51.599 --> 00:43:55.440 he's heading back to San Diego. Wonder quis two? Yeah, I got 587 00:43:55.519 --> 00:44:00.559 you all right? Cool? So oh man, what can I say? 588 00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:04.519 You know, I'm a long time Southern California my whole life, but I 589 00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:07.800 gotta bring a little bit of balance here. I look at this Clipper team. 590 00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:13.159 We're sixty games into the season here, roughly they're a five hundred ball 591 00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:15.639 club. I don't want to requote Bill Parcelf, but I look at them 592 00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:19.639 out there, and if you know, those aren't the names on the back 593 00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:23.280 of those jerseys with Paul George and Kawhi Leonard I'm asking myself who plays defense 594 00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:27.639 on this team. I get it, they won. I like the Clippers. 595 00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:30.760 I'm a pretty big fan of the Clippers. But you're coming back by 596 00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:35.280 four points to win by four points on by the way, a Luke Canard 597 00:44:35.400 --> 00:44:39.039 revenge game, if you will, he misses the part where they won the 598 00:44:39.159 --> 00:44:45.840 game by playing that defense and playing to their capabilities on that end. I 599 00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:49.440 did. But you're coming back on David Roddy and Tayas Jones, and you 600 00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:51.920 mentioned something a little bit. I mean, this is a John Morant list, 601 00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:55.239 Dave. I didn't say they're automatically a championship contender because of tonight, 602 00:44:55.800 --> 00:45:00.800 But if they lose tonight's game, you're calling me in saying the season is 603 00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:04.159 over. So don't you think it was a pretty big victory all things considered. 604 00:45:04.679 --> 00:45:07.199 I do. I do, And I love how they came back and 605 00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:10.039 by the way, being in that arena that was like electric. That was 606 00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:15.559 the first time in a long time I've seen that arena get really electric for 607 00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:19.480 the Clippers, and I really like seeing that. I'm just I guess, 608 00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:22.760 you know, I'm just thinking a little bit down the road, and I'm 609 00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:25.119 just concerned for the defensive end. I watched that, David, you're treation 610 00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:29.599 to the choir by friend, I've been the one out there saying this team 611 00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:31.440 should not be that bad on the defensive end. I've been saying it for 612 00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:38.400 a month since November. First, they are eighteenth defensively. That's the head 613 00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:43.960 scratcher, to say the least. That is confounding. I watched for three 614 00:45:44.280 --> 00:45:46.239 quarters and two thirds of a fourth, you know, a third of a 615 00:45:46.280 --> 00:45:51.519 fourth excuse me, three quarters and maybe a third of a fourth quarter where 616 00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:54.920 you know, they let pretty regular NBA guys just come down and not only 617 00:45:55.000 --> 00:45:59.960 take threes, but get like two feet into the lane before they're pulling up 618 00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:02.719 for six foot bunnies. And you know, even for hoping for a you 619 00:46:02.719 --> 00:46:05.519 know, I want to watch a good game no matter what. I want 620 00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:08.320 to see a close game. But I'm like, guys, how are you 621 00:46:08.400 --> 00:46:10.679 letting him step into the lane there? I will say this, I thought 622 00:46:10.719 --> 00:46:15.639 it was a huge, huge substitution to bring in Mason Plumley and Eric Gordon, 623 00:46:15.719 --> 00:46:21.760 but more importantly Mason Plumley in for Zubots. It was a massive difference 624 00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:24.679 in what he can do around the rim, finishing, just being a lot 625 00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:28.679 more confident around there. I thought that was a big difference for the Clippers. 626 00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:31.000 I know that goes relatively young sung, but I thought he made a 627 00:46:31.039 --> 00:46:35.480 big difference for them. I don't know why he doesn't start, because zubots 628 00:46:35.559 --> 00:46:37.280 is a better player. That's probably why, David, but I do appreciate 629 00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:40.760 the phone call, and I love Mason Plumley. He's arguably the best backup 630 00:46:42.599 --> 00:46:49.199 center in the league. Visa zubots In is just second game over the last 631 00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:53.159 six now, and he was gonna be on a minis restriction six points nine 632 00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:58.280 boards. Had two huge blocks, both of them on Jaren Jackson Jr. 633 00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:02.639 I'm not sure how many of his minutes were in the fourth quarter, if 634 00:47:02.679 --> 00:47:06.039 at all, I could figure that out right now. Yeah, none of 635 00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:09.559 them were, and zubos was the backbone on their defense. It's interesting that 636 00:47:09.639 --> 00:47:13.639 somebody comes in and says, no, Mason Plumbly should be the starter. 637 00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:16.119 And I know there's a faction of fans that, for some reason, and 638 00:47:16.199 --> 00:47:19.440 it's odd to me, do not like a beats the Zu boss. Don't 639 00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:22.480 think he's that good. When the Clippers were playing great defense this season, 640 00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:28.440 guess who was playing center that beats the Zu Bots the anchor. He's good, 641 00:47:28.639 --> 00:47:32.119 He's really good. So I don't know what it's gonna take for him 642 00:47:32.119 --> 00:47:36.800 to get some respect when you can't tell that there's a correlation when he's out 643 00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:38.280 and they're giving up one hundred and seventy points. I don't I don't know. 644 00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:42.480 Maybe maybe they could use a beachs the szu bots in a game against 645 00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:47.280 the Kings or in a game against the Denver Nuggets. And Nikola yogis Andy 646 00:47:47.719 --> 00:47:51.440 in the OC Andy, what's up here on Clippers stock without? I am 647 00:47:51.440 --> 00:47:53.760 Oslin? Hey, how are you doing? Hi? Andy? What do 648 00:47:53.840 --> 00:47:57.639 you think of the ball game? I love your show and I've been a 649 00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:01.920 Clippers fan since the eighties when I first thought season tickets then and no longer 650 00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:05.719 have them now, but I still follow them, and I just had a 651 00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:09.159 brief a couple of comments. First, I don't know the medical issues, 652 00:48:09.280 --> 00:48:15.559 only the team does all other players, but this load management issue. Until 653 00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:19.400 those guys are all playing on the court at the same time, they're gonna 654 00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:24.000 struggle to gel. And that's one of the things that's lacking with Kawai in 655 00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:29.199 and out of the lineup all the time, and Paul George too now Andy, 656 00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:31.679 let me ask you something. Kauai missed a lot of back to backs 657 00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:37.000 also in miss games during the twenty twenty one season. Did it look like 658 00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:40.440 they were jelling before he tore his ACL in the playoffs? Did it look 659 00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:44.199 like they were free? Darned good? And we're probably gonna beat the Phoenix 660 00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:49.000 Suns that they had Kawai. It did, so they've had even more games 661 00:48:49.079 --> 00:48:52.880 together since then. If you want to make the point that now they're trying 662 00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:58.840 to implement Russell Westbrook, I'm listening. But that's what I'm saying, that 663 00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:02.440 they have to blend all the current players and they've just got some new guys, 664 00:49:02.559 --> 00:49:07.079 including Westbrook and others, and so until they get everybody on the court 665 00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:12.320 regularly because they don't have a lot of practice time, they actually do now 666 00:49:12.519 --> 00:49:15.079 they do. They have three games the next twelve days. They have a 667 00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:21.400 ton of practice time in the last month and a half. Rephrase it for 668 00:49:21.519 --> 00:49:23.440 an hour at a time where they're learning to play with each other, so 669 00:49:23.639 --> 00:49:30.079 really gain and hardcore scrimmaging. And I go back to I was fortunate up 670 00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:34.280 to shit with John Wooden at a few UCLA basketball games, and then Larry 671 00:49:34.360 --> 00:49:37.400 Brown was a coach at UCLA, and I was a two sport athlete there 672 00:49:37.400 --> 00:49:38.599 at the time, so I got to know John a little bit, and 673 00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:43.320 I got to know Larry a little bit, and these are the kinds of 674 00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:45.639 things we would talk about. So all I'm saying is they need to play 675 00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:52.880 be together with their entire rotation. Andy, do you think they're arguing against 676 00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:54.679 that, like they don't want to have chemistry or don't want to play on 677 00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:58.320 the court together, don't want to practice. Again, I don't know the 678 00:49:58.440 --> 00:50:00.639 injuries, and I preface my state with that, I don't know the true 679 00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:07.480 injury situation, but they're going to struggle until they get enough game time together, 680 00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:12.159 and that's what they lack. So that's that's my primary point, and 681 00:50:12.280 --> 00:50:15.599 all of it I appreciate. They do think they have the talent to compete 682 00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:20.199 for a championship. Okay, like the positivity there at the end, I 683 00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:27.000 honestly believe it's less about continuity and chemistry and meshing and more about having a 684 00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:34.159 sense of urgency and just a level of focus, laser focus to start games. 685 00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:39.559 Because the Clippers go in and out of playing really good basketball. They 686 00:50:39.679 --> 00:50:45.559 can it seems like when they need to well I've been saying all season, 687 00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:52.280 they've been consistently inconsistent. I think it's honestly less about that this team just 688 00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:58.400 lets up or they have one eye on the playoffs already. Can't have that 689 00:51:00.159 --> 00:51:02.519 still gonna get to the postseason. I'm not sure what it is. It's 690 00:51:02.519 --> 00:51:05.679 hard to put a finger on sometimes with them. Let's go to Josh and 691 00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:10.440 Carl's bath. Josh, what's up your Clipper stock without Amassin? Hey, 692 00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:15.920 Josh, I've had a good post game today. You're on fire on a 693 00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:23.119 lot of your points. You know what's up? Josh? So the one 694 00:51:23.199 --> 00:51:29.960 thing it struck a nerve with me. You were talking about Zubot and I 695 00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:32.280 mean, if you look at like the center rankings and all that stuff. 696 00:51:32.320 --> 00:51:35.639 I'm not a big stats person, but I had to win an argument the 697 00:51:35.719 --> 00:51:39.760 other day. He's like the thirty eighth ranks center in the NBA. Rank 698 00:51:39.880 --> 00:51:46.000 by what by what metric? It was like his PR rating or something like 699 00:51:46.119 --> 00:51:51.719 that, but it was basically ranking him. But when well, his defense 700 00:51:51.920 --> 00:51:54.159 within six ft of the ram to start off the first month and a half 701 00:51:54.199 --> 00:51:58.559 two months of the season was the best in the NBA by a wide margin. 702 00:51:59.119 --> 00:52:01.960 And that's pretty important thing when you're a defensive anchor. Absolutely, but 703 00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:06.119 you just said it yourself. You went to look up the stats for Zubos 704 00:52:06.159 --> 00:52:07.840 tonight and what'd you say. He didn't play a minute in the fourth quarter 705 00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:13.800 when we finally started playing some defense, he was on a minute's restriction. 706 00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:19.199 If you think this team is better without one of the better defensive centers in 707 00:52:19.320 --> 00:52:22.280 the NBA, I don't know how to help you. He's been banged up. 708 00:52:23.360 --> 00:52:28.039 Oh no, no, absolutely we're better with Zubat there. But Plumly 709 00:52:28.199 --> 00:52:30.519 is making a strong case for himself to get into that lineup and get a 710 00:52:30.599 --> 00:52:35.159 lot more minute because he has a lot more effect on the game when he's 711 00:52:35.320 --> 00:52:43.079 on the floor. Mason Plumly is a more well rounded offensive player and has 712 00:52:43.199 --> 00:52:47.360 his moments, and he's had some big blocks or a few for the Clippers 713 00:52:47.440 --> 00:52:53.440 so far. He's not necessarily known as a defensive stopper, No he's not, 714 00:52:53.639 --> 00:52:57.960 but he plugs the paint up and he has a much more of the 715 00:52:58.039 --> 00:53:00.360 pendants in there. Let me give you a number. Since the All Star 716 00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:07.039 Break teams are shooting eighty percent in the restricted area on the Clippers, a 717 00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:12.960 visa Zubots has hardly played since the All Star Break, Mason Plumley has played 718 00:53:12.960 --> 00:53:15.880 a lot, so to say he's not a part of that, a guy 719 00:53:16.000 --> 00:53:22.920 who hasn't averaged more than point six blocks in the game over the season, 720 00:53:22.119 --> 00:53:28.840 I just think that's incorrect. He's he's he's a great addition. He's maybe 721 00:53:28.960 --> 00:53:30.920 the best backup center in the league. He can bring the ball up the 722 00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:36.039 court, he's a great passer. He's you could say he's a much better 723 00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:39.280 passion than it beats the Zubots. But as a pure rim protector, he 724 00:53:39.440 --> 00:53:43.480 is not better than it beats the zu bots. There is nothing that will 725 00:53:43.519 --> 00:53:46.000 tell you otherwise. No, I'm not. I'm not arguing that he's a 726 00:53:46.039 --> 00:53:50.719 better protector. Seemed like you were. You came in saying Zubats is the 727 00:53:50.760 --> 00:53:52.760 thirty eight best guy and they should be playing it. Seemed like you were 728 00:53:52.840 --> 00:53:55.400 leading to they should be playing plumbly more, or he's the better player. 729 00:53:57.320 --> 00:54:01.599 And when the last time shift and where we played a Rudy Gobert or we 730 00:54:01.679 --> 00:54:06.519 played a joke kitch and they didn't drop thirty plus on it with Zubox Again, 731 00:54:06.679 --> 00:54:15.239 some how many guys do stop them yokich averages almost that did they did 732 00:54:15.360 --> 00:54:21.960 they have zoobots against Yokich on Sunday? No, and he had forty Josh, 733 00:54:22.119 --> 00:54:24.400 I appreciate the phone call, my friend. Let's go to Jose and 734 00:54:24.440 --> 00:54:29.119 Downey. Jose, what's up if you're on Clippers? Stop? Hey, 735 00:54:29.239 --> 00:54:32.400 Adam, how are you doing? Just getting back from the game. So, 736 00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:38.039 I think the biggest thing was with Moore is right now that he's not 737 00:54:38.239 --> 00:54:44.239 hitting his shots, he's a little bit of a liability on They didn't start 738 00:54:44.320 --> 00:54:45.960 him in the second half. Did you notice that, Jose? Yeah, 739 00:54:46.119 --> 00:54:50.800 we did. We noticed that when we're there and they were doing they were 740 00:54:50.840 --> 00:54:54.199 starting to do better and on the defensive side. But I think we got 741 00:54:54.280 --> 00:54:59.440 to explore other options. Whether it would be but tune Robert Covington if Moore 742 00:54:59.559 --> 00:55:00.960 is not gonna be getting the threes, well they did. They put in 743 00:55:01.079 --> 00:55:04.880 Nicholas but Tuba to start the third quarter. But give Marcus credit. He 744 00:55:05.000 --> 00:55:08.360 had five key points early on the fourth when nobody else will scorn. Definitely 745 00:55:08.639 --> 00:55:12.239 I see that, and then the zoo back thing. I think you're totally 746 00:55:12.360 --> 00:55:15.480 right. He is. He is our starting center, and he is our 747 00:55:15.559 --> 00:55:21.400 defensive anchor. My biggest thing with him in any center that I remember having 748 00:55:22.039 --> 00:55:24.840 in the last couple of years. It's when the screaming role comes on the 749 00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:30.519 top. I don't expect them to stop the point guard that they screened for, 750 00:55:31.119 --> 00:55:36.599 but a lot of times he everybody comes under the screen and then they 751 00:55:36.639 --> 00:55:39.039 shoot that shot not just on him, but on the person that's supposed to 752 00:55:39.039 --> 00:55:42.599 switch with him. Well, they play a lot and drop coverage. So 753 00:55:42.719 --> 00:55:45.320 yeah, yeah, they do, and I think that's what's frustrating with him. 754 00:55:45.360 --> 00:55:49.320 Well, they're giving up certain shots. You gotta give something up usually 755 00:55:49.360 --> 00:55:52.480 in this league. Don't live with you trying to beat him in the mid 756 00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:57.199 range sometimes, but I would hope that maybe you know, the a little 757 00:55:57.320 --> 00:56:00.639 jab he leans all the way forward before rolling back out, and oh he 758 00:56:00.760 --> 00:56:05.559 does. He does sometimes. Zubaz definitely shades over, you know, and 759 00:56:05.679 --> 00:56:07.880 that's when he plays the best defense. To me, that kind of feel 760 00:56:07.920 --> 00:56:12.440 he plays the best defense. But I think that's the frustrating part for some 761 00:56:12.519 --> 00:56:14.920 of the other people that he's walking away in that third quarter. I know 762 00:56:15.079 --> 00:56:17.480 nobody did anything right on defense, but there's quite a couple of times he 763 00:56:17.719 --> 00:56:22.320 ran away from the shooter and it was like, what's happening, Why isn't 764 00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:24.480 this clicking. Let me let me tell you something, Jose. The last 765 00:56:24.519 --> 00:56:28.800 person I'm worrying about on the defensive end, especially when he gets healthy, 766 00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:30.840 fully healthy, it's Big Zoo, who did have a big throw down in 767 00:56:30.880 --> 00:56:36.159 the second half. He did. Look, he said, Guys getting off 768 00:56:36.239 --> 00:56:39.519 the dribble by their man and not taking the challenge on the perimeter has been 769 00:56:39.559 --> 00:56:45.239 an issue all season long. And that is more about effort and want to 770 00:56:45.719 --> 00:56:50.840 and will and it has to stop because from there your defense is in rotation 771 00:56:51.000 --> 00:56:54.199 and you're in trouble. I gotta agree with you on that. I was 772 00:56:54.360 --> 00:56:58.960 just saying the same thing since since we came back from the All Star break. 773 00:56:59.079 --> 00:57:01.440 It's the effort. You sensors all effort, and where is that at. 774 00:57:01.639 --> 00:57:06.199 Something must have happened at nine minute marking that time out. Somebody must 775 00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:08.559 have snapped, somebody must have said, this is not gonna happen again, 776 00:57:09.039 --> 00:57:14.280 and a lit a fire. They made a stand, They said enough, 777 00:57:15.199 --> 00:57:19.280 Jose. I appreciate the phone call my friend Ryan and Burbank. Ryan, 778 00:57:19.320 --> 00:57:25.320 you're on clipper side without amslin Adam, pleasure to have you. Hopefully my 779 00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:29.880 phone sounds better than the last time. I want to make sure that it 780 00:57:30.039 --> 00:57:32.440 does. I heard the first part and it was it was kind of you, 781 00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:37.800 so oh I heard it. Awesome. So, Adam, I want 782 00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:44.320 to I want to say this mainly Number one it why can't Robert come in 783 00:57:44.400 --> 00:57:45.800 to get any minutes at him? Why? I mean, like, why 784 00:57:45.880 --> 00:57:50.000 do we hated Ryan? Why are you asking me a question you know I 785 00:57:50.039 --> 00:57:52.199 don't have the answer for since you probably asked it three times before and many 786 00:57:52.280 --> 00:58:00.880 people have. That is my question to you. But Adam, it makes 787 00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:05.000 no sense when the last game he played, he's played so well, he 788 00:58:05.159 --> 00:58:08.719 plays so well, he's deflecting balls, he's making shots, and I'm look, 789 00:58:08.760 --> 00:58:13.199 I'm not I know, Marcus Morris's a veteran. I get all this. 790 00:58:13.440 --> 00:58:16.239 I understand that, like you're ride and die with some types of players. 791 00:58:16.360 --> 00:58:19.920 You know what they've done in big games, Buck, I understand all 792 00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:24.000 that. But if you just look at the per minute basis for these players 793 00:58:24.079 --> 00:58:29.400 at this point, Covington is more versatile, he's a better defender, and 794 00:58:29.679 --> 00:58:32.719 he gets his shot off. He actually has a shooting stroke right now, 795 00:58:32.840 --> 00:58:37.559 and it just it perplexes me when I'm seeing, Look, let's just be 796 00:58:37.760 --> 00:58:45.000 honest with this gameless tonight, the Grizzlies were missing three legitimate scoring threats and 797 00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:50.280 in one quarter they put up fifty one point. I mean, come on, 798 00:58:50.639 --> 00:58:53.639 it wasn't just one guy though, and not just one guy is going 799 00:58:53.760 --> 00:58:58.760 to fix it either. They have to come to get a collectively on the 800 00:58:58.840 --> 00:59:02.679 defensive end. Agree with you. I'd love to see more Rocco. I 801 00:59:02.719 --> 00:59:07.440 don't know. Maybe Coach Lewis asked about a postgame Ryan, I appreciate the 802 00:59:07.480 --> 00:59:08.840 phone call. We'll take a quick time out, we'll come back looking for 803 00:59:08.960 --> 00:59:14.199 that postgame audio from the head coach and to Ron lew as the Clippers march 804 00:59:14.360 --> 00:59:19.360 back and the two one three connection led them to a victory one thirty five 805 00:59:19.400 --> 00:59:22.840 to one twenty nine after being down big early in the fourth quarters to the 806 00:59:22.920 --> 00:59:27.119 Memphis Grizzlies. You can talk about the guys missing for Memphis. I understand 807 00:59:27.159 --> 00:59:31.639 that, but if the difference is when the Clippers. If the Clippers had 808 00:59:31.719 --> 00:59:36.360 lost this ball game, you'd better say the season is over. So to 809 00:59:36.480 --> 00:59:40.159 now be dismissive of this big comeback win doesn't work for me either. They 810 00:59:40.239 --> 00:59:44.159 had to have it, and they got it, and they got it in 811 00:59:44.199 --> 00:59:46.840 a manner that I hope reminds them of who they have to be on both 812 00:59:46.920 --> 00:59:51.440 ends of the floor. More Clippers stock next here on a five seventy sports 813 00:59:51.599 --> 00:59:54.679 Hendy got it? Count it from distance? The dun favorite to hoist. 814 00:59:54.840 --> 00:59:59.800 Hilario Bright heavily contest it and it doesn't matter. On the whole of you, 815 01:00:00.199 --> 01:00:05.760 La Clippers, Clippers will see the nixt On Saturday, Clippers went tonight 816 01:00:05.800 --> 01:00:08.000 over the Memphis Grizzlies, one thirty five to one twenty nine. They come 817 01:00:08.039 --> 01:00:13.440 back down sixteen in the fourth quarter. Get the dub as they outscore Memphis 818 01:00:13.519 --> 01:00:15.880 thirty eight to seventeen in the last twelve minutes. Welcome back in the Clippers 819 01:00:15.880 --> 01:00:21.320 stock. I'm atam oslin age six six ninety seven two five seventy quickly everybody 820 01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:25.159 gets thirty seconds. I'm sorry, Greg in Newport Beach. What's up? 821 01:00:28.559 --> 01:00:30.760 Salty? Ay, my man? What's that? Hey? Salty? Hey? 822 01:00:30.800 --> 01:00:34.760 Look bro, you salty? Tonight? My man? Check this out 823 01:00:34.800 --> 01:00:37.239 though, I mean, look, hey, if they lose the next three, 824 01:00:37.239 --> 01:00:40.679 if they lose on Wednesday, bad then yeah, tonight meant nothing, 825 01:00:40.880 --> 01:00:45.760 and you can be a downer about it. But until then, I'm gonna 826 01:00:45.800 --> 01:00:51.719 hope that this gets them going. I mean to listen, man, listen, 827 01:00:51.840 --> 01:00:55.400 listen. I was at the game to night. Bruh left the game 828 01:00:57.360 --> 01:01:01.840 when Paul George got elbow in the mouth and they was challenging the car. 829 01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:06.679 They you know, took a break to review it. That's when we left, 830 01:01:07.039 --> 01:01:09.679 and the Clippers came back and won the damn game. Miss k home 831 01:01:09.800 --> 01:01:15.239 running. That's basically what you did. Okay, it's not on that level 832 01:01:15.280 --> 01:01:20.840 whatsoever. I'm sorry, but come on, keep the faith, Greg. 833 01:01:22.360 --> 01:01:24.119 I usually do, man, but I told my girl when it's like seven 834 01:01:24.159 --> 01:01:27.960 minutes, I said, look, things ain't looking too good. I said, 835 01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:30.760 come on, let's take off and drawing. Behold, man, they 836 01:01:30.840 --> 01:01:34.280 won the game. So I'm happy, all right. Appreciate the phone call, 837 01:01:35.159 --> 01:01:37.920 Marvin and downtown Los Angeles. You're on Clippers side without I am as 838 01:01:38.559 --> 01:01:42.960 all right, Adam. This is a breakthrough games of the keepers needed at 839 01:01:42.960 --> 01:01:45.840 the anadote because this brings them back to the winning ways no matter who they 840 01:01:45.920 --> 01:01:51.519 played, whatsoever. And at the same time, it allows them to go 841 01:01:51.599 --> 01:01:57.039 ahead and get rolling in Gael with the chemistry and to figure out with the 842 01:01:57.119 --> 01:02:00.079 players that they added, and also that are on me back from injury, 843 01:02:00.159 --> 01:02:06.079 so let's just keep it rolling. They got than games in the next twelve 844 01:02:06.320 --> 01:02:09.039 days. They got plenty of time to start to build up some of that 845 01:02:09.159 --> 01:02:15.360 chemistry, continuity, familiarity with four new guys on the team. So I 846 01:02:15.400 --> 01:02:17.639 appreciate the phone call, Marvin. I think you're right. Noah Eagle's been 847 01:02:17.679 --> 01:02:22.159 talking about it. I mentioned it before the season. I liked how the 848 01:02:22.199 --> 01:02:27.760 schedule laid out because it did give them a little bit more runway space at 849 01:02:27.800 --> 01:02:30.360 the end of the season to build some momentum. Because of all the days 850 01:02:30.400 --> 01:02:32.000 off, they could get more practices in, they could tighten things up, 851 01:02:32.039 --> 01:02:37.000 they could be sharper, they could play smarter. That's the hope. Javier 852 01:02:37.199 --> 01:02:42.119 in the Habberd Heights or leaving the game, Javier, you're a Clipper scope 853 01:02:42.119 --> 01:02:45.519 without I'm as high. What's up at them? Hey, I know you 854 01:02:45.639 --> 01:02:47.280 got to go real quick. Yeah, you know, I'm a season take 855 01:02:47.320 --> 01:02:53.119 it older. So thanks for you know what. Next time, I was 856 01:02:53.360 --> 01:02:58.559 up early, real quick at them. You know, it looked to look 857 01:02:58.639 --> 01:03:01.039 bad, but they came back. You gotta give him credit. Thought to 858 01:03:01.039 --> 01:03:05.480 you this much. I mean it was there's a point there at the at 859 01:03:05.519 --> 01:03:07.880 the end of the third quarter when they allowed fifty at one point, I 860 01:03:08.480 --> 01:03:13.239 would say, right behind Steve Bomber. I'm like maybe fourteen les behind behind 861 01:03:13.360 --> 01:03:17.039 him. And after the third quarter he went up to Jerry West. I 862 01:03:17.039 --> 01:03:20.800 don't know what he said, but he wasn't happy. So I'm telling this 863 01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:23.280 much, they would lost this game. I think. I'm just guarantee you 864 01:03:23.360 --> 01:03:25.599 type you would have been fire the next day because he was kind of happy. 865 01:03:25.679 --> 01:03:28.360 I don't know about that, you know what, I don't know about 866 01:03:28.360 --> 01:03:32.119 that, but I'm glad that Clipper Nation has an owner that is this passionate 867 01:03:32.159 --> 01:03:36.880 about their team and cares the way Steve Bomber does. That is big. 868 01:03:37.440 --> 01:03:39.960 Yeah. Yeah, So we just gotta say, you've gotta keep it going. 869 01:03:40.239 --> 01:03:44.360 You gotta play at Toronto. So it just you just can't you know, 870 01:03:44.760 --> 01:03:46.199 it's just win game. So thank you, Adam thought your later. 871 01:03:46.400 --> 01:03:51.360 No, but it was just one game against Sacramento that they lost in overtime 872 01:03:51.840 --> 01:03:55.239 and it turned into a five game losing streak. I'm hoping it goes back 873 01:03:55.280 --> 01:04:00.639 the other way this time. Remember Robert Covington said after the Laws the Sacramento 874 01:04:00.719 --> 01:04:03.480 Friday night in Sacktown, it's gonna flip the other way. Things are going 875 01:04:03.559 --> 01:04:08.320 to turn around. That's what we're looking for. Mike in La Mike, 876 01:04:08.400 --> 01:04:14.199 what's up? Just want to bring your attention to this really awesome quote from 877 01:04:14.239 --> 01:04:17.639 Paul George ship Now. He said specifically, this means nothing if we don't 878 01:04:17.679 --> 01:04:20.880 treat the next games the way we treated the fourth quarter. And I love 879 01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:26.000 to hear that attitude and that approach from Paul George, who you know, 880 01:04:26.159 --> 01:04:30.800 sometimes in his you know, media quotes and everything can come up sounding a 881 01:04:30.920 --> 01:04:34.840 little you know, lack of days the goal or a loop. And this 882 01:04:35.079 --> 01:04:41.079 is great. Hopefully that's this wind does carry over and you know, the 883 01:04:41.199 --> 01:04:44.960 next few games are you know, include a game where we do get a 884 01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:47.760 blowout. And second, I wanted to say, I know some a lot 885 01:04:47.840 --> 01:04:54.559 of callers have been critical of Zubak Zubox I should say, and I will 886 01:04:54.599 --> 01:04:59.079 just say, zubats his jersey will eventually be retired in the into it. 887 01:05:00.719 --> 01:05:05.519 Oh, all right, bold take. But will we be building the statue 888 01:05:05.519 --> 01:05:09.079 as well? All right? I appreciate the phone call, quick time out, 889 01:05:09.119 --> 01:05:11.239 we'll come back. We'll fix things out with a couple of phone calls. 890 01:05:11.239 --> 01:05:13.880 Eight six six to ninety seven two five seventy Clippers come back. They 891 01:05:13.920 --> 01:05:16.079 win one thirty five to one twenty nine over the Grizzlies. This is Clipper 892 01:05:16.079 --> 01:05:18.920 stock. You're on NAMP five seventy Eli scours George and Leonard running. You're 893 01:05:19.000 --> 01:05:25.679 listening to La Clippers Basketball. Top clipper puts it down plus the foul every 894 01:05:25.760 --> 01:05:30.679 game all season long on their official home. Eric Morton six of seven, 895 01:05:30.800 --> 01:05:34.119 three or four from distance, hit them all from deep on the right wing. 896 01:05:34.480 --> 01:05:40.719 He had seventeen was a plus twenty game high plus twenty. Clippers come 897 01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:44.519 back down sixteen and the fourth to win one thirty five to one twenty nine 898 01:05:44.559 --> 01:05:48.960 over the Memphis Grizzlies. Patrick and Pasadena nice a little alliteration. Does he 899 01:05:49.039 --> 01:05:51.239 live there? Just because of that? Patrick? What's up here on Clippers 900 01:05:51.239 --> 01:05:57.559 Stalk? Uh? Oh, nothing. You know. I'm originally from Minnesota, 901 01:05:57.639 --> 01:06:04.559 and I'd just like to say that, Uh, the Clippers are a 902 01:06:04.639 --> 01:06:13.760 good team. They're they're The addition of Russell Westbrook really adds another explosive quality 903 01:06:13.840 --> 01:06:16.199 that they didn't have before. And I think it's gonna be good for them 904 01:06:16.239 --> 01:06:21.320 in the playoffs. And you guys are blowing this five game losing straight out 905 01:06:21.360 --> 01:06:28.920 of proportion because you know there's the teams in the West are very even Denver 906 01:06:29.119 --> 01:06:32.159 Nuggets. Uh, whether we lose to them in over time in that last 907 01:06:33.119 --> 01:06:40.039 I don't know. It's it's just it's not Pat sober No. I appreciate 908 01:06:40.119 --> 01:06:43.760 the phone call. Patrick. I am no. I'm just saying that the 909 01:06:43.880 --> 01:06:47.159 losing streak was too bad, but they only lost those games by a very 910 01:06:47.480 --> 01:06:51.679 small, you know, you know, a few points. So Patrick called 911 01:06:51.719 --> 01:06:57.920 back on Wednesday. Okay, my friend, what call back on Wednesday after 912 01:06:57.960 --> 01:07:00.559 the Clippers hopefully beat the Toronto Raptors before we get out of here. I 913 01:07:00.639 --> 01:07:05.840 appreciate the phone called Patrick. We got a new segment with our girl producer 914 01:07:05.960 --> 01:07:11.960 Katie Newton. It's curious, Katie. That's what we're calling it. A 915 01:07:12.639 --> 01:07:15.440 one on one question Katie. What's up? Hey, how's it going? 916 01:07:15.599 --> 01:07:17.559 So Katie is gonna come on because I don't know if she's as big of 917 01:07:17.639 --> 01:07:21.599 a basketball fan as she she is a San Diego or now LA Chargers fan, 918 01:07:23.280 --> 01:07:25.719 and she's gonna ask some basketball questions. I think at the end of 919 01:07:25.760 --> 01:07:28.559 every show when I feel like, Katy, can you hear can you hear 920 01:07:28.599 --> 01:07:30.360 me? I can hear you? Okay, Well, I wasn't sure. 921 01:07:30.360 --> 01:07:31.159 I didn't mean to just roll over you like, hey, I would just 922 01:07:31.320 --> 01:07:36.039 like lay out well because also we've we've never really with the one microphone. 923 01:07:36.079 --> 01:07:39.679 We're never sure, so I just swing over the one you normally have because 924 01:07:39.840 --> 01:07:42.480 you're in the bank. Mystery Mike works. Yeah, it does, Okay, 925 01:07:43.239 --> 01:07:45.159 Okay, So I was gonna ask one, but then I was like, 926 01:07:45.280 --> 01:07:47.280 no, I've got a different one because I ask you what's a jay 927 01:07:47.400 --> 01:07:51.360 before? But we'll ask that one another time. But it's a jumper. 928 01:07:51.559 --> 01:07:56.320 I got it. Jumper, I got it. How that wasn't my question? 929 01:07:57.039 --> 01:08:01.840 What's a nice English? Nice English? Noah has said it several times 930 01:08:01.880 --> 01:08:04.880 and a little English on it? A little spin on the basketball? I 931 01:08:04.960 --> 01:08:10.079 think it actually the etymology of that. It comes from the game of pool. 932 01:08:11.719 --> 01:08:13.559 So you put a little spin on, you know, a little que 933 01:08:13.599 --> 01:08:16.199 ball and get it to go. And we got some guys who are adept 934 01:08:16.199 --> 01:08:18.720 at that. With the Clippers. Paul George likes a little spin on those 935 01:08:18.760 --> 01:08:23.560 reverse layups sometimes. Anything else, sure, I can just go through them. 936 01:08:23.880 --> 01:08:26.520 What's a hammer? Oop? Last one? What's a hammer? Oop? 937 01:08:27.520 --> 01:08:30.640 A hammer oop? Yeah? No Oneh's said that too before. What 938 01:08:30.159 --> 01:08:33.079 you know, you've seen the New Thorn movie. You know what that is 939 01:08:33.479 --> 01:08:35.479 all right. Hold on, let me get dunk. Okay. I was 940 01:08:35.479 --> 01:08:39.920 gonna say it, throw down off a pass in the air, they catch 941 01:08:40.279 --> 01:08:43.039 and throw it down. I mean, okay, to be fair, the 942 01:08:43.159 --> 01:08:45.359 TV is behind me, so when it's like, you know, when it 943 01:08:45.439 --> 01:08:49.920 happens, I'm not seeing it. I'm listening to you and Noah. I 944 01:08:50.000 --> 01:08:54.159 hope this segment continues, but I don't know. We're gonna have do something. 945 01:08:54.199 --> 01:08:56.159 We're gonna have to do some work here. Cake. I like it, 946 01:08:56.239 --> 01:08:59.239 though, I like. I don't. I don't. I didn't watching 947 01:08:59.279 --> 01:09:01.359 basketball. I don't know. I'm listening. Plenty of novices out there. 948 01:09:01.439 --> 01:09:06.640 I didn't even call you a casual. I mean I'm here. I know, 949 01:09:08.840 --> 01:09:12.840 corner. Oh, I like that. I poll over the weekend with 950 01:09:13.279 --> 01:09:15.479 knowledge. Okay, do you want to hit the out music so we can 951 01:09:15.560 --> 01:09:20.119 get out of here tonight and you can go. I would have hit it 952 01:09:20.119 --> 01:09:27.920 a mouth or Clippers win one thirty five to one twenty nine over the Memphis 953 01:09:28.039 --> 01:09:32.319 Grizzlies from Crypto dot Com Arena where they will be on Wednesday and they'll be 954 01:09:32.399 --> 01:09:35.800 taking on the Toronto Raptors. Toronto is one three in a row. Do 955 01:09:36.000 --> 01:09:41.479 not overlook them. That Paul George quotes, that's what it has to be. 956 01:09:41.960 --> 01:09:45.520 This means nothing. If we don't buy into what we can do and 957 01:09:45.640 --> 01:09:48.399 what we can be, and we don't treat the next game the same way 958 01:09:48.439 --> 01:09:53.119 we treated that fourth quarter tonight, then what are we doing here? Those 959 01:09:53.279 --> 01:09:58.359 church there's a leader. That's what they need. Before we get out of 960 01:09:58.359 --> 01:10:00.359 here. I do want to thank the Clippers organization and Noah Eagle what it 961 01:10:00.399 --> 01:10:03.800 called me, Bryan Stephen, Ralph Lawler, big brother, Jake Warner or 962 01:10:03.800 --> 01:10:09.760 head engineer here in downtown Los Angeles, Katie Newton, Katie's casual Corner. 963 01:10:11.079 --> 01:10:16.319 It's a great segment, riveting start, the callers, the listeners, the 964 01:10:16.479 --> 01:10:23.399 sweeters.
