00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:04.559
Parents Madness pure on once again,
he's Clippers Talk. I got calls on

2
00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:10.640
Clippers Talk, immediate reaction and analysis
to today's game. That's what he's capable

3
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:15.119
of. Hosted by your pre and
post game voice of the LA Clippers,

4
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:22.719
Adam Osler. The Clippers get burned
at the free throw line against the Miami

5
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:28.559
Heat. They lose one twenty one
to one fourteen in Miami. Welcome in

6
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:32.479
to Clippers Talk. I'm Adam honestlin
to eight six six nine eight seven two

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:37.079
five seventy eight six six nine eight
seven two five seventy is the phone number

8
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.880
if you'd like to get on coming
up here on the show. A side

9
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:43.359
from your phone calls you'll hear from
Coach Loop post game as well as a

10
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:48.799
mere coffee after. The Clippers had
another valiant comeback, but they come up

11
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:54.560
short. This time. They were
trying to make it their fifth comeback down

12
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:59.799
twenty or more this season. Would
have been the fourth in twenty twenty two

13
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.840
in the month of January. But
I think they bit off more than they

14
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:08.480
could show, being in Miami taking
on the best team in the East that

15
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:14.480
is missing Kyle Lowry. Yes,
but they still had Duncan Robinson, Bam

16
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.719
auto Bio, Jimmy Butler, Tyler
heroes back. He's been playing grade and

17
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:23.480
I don't know if you knew about
this, but Gabe Bevinsit who went six

18
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:29.640
for six from three to start the
third quarter. It is a modern day

19
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:34.439
sports miracle. They were only down
by sixteen getting out of the third after

20
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.239
the Miami Heat, who as a
team started eight of eight from three because

21
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:44.400
Duncan Robinson hit his first two,
but they went nine to fourteen from three

22
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.799
in the third quarter alone. In
a game where the Clippers were just nine

23
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:57.079
of thirty five nine oh thirty five
total through four quarters, Miami goes nine

24
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:02.599
of fourteen in twelve minutes. Unbelievable
that the Clippers were still in it late,

25
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:09.280
down by four with thirty three seconds
left, and they had opportunities,

26
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:14.280
but Jimmy Butler would sink some free
throws and that's really the story of the

27
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.159
game. He goes sixteen of sixteen, sixteen. It's a lot. That

28
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:22.840
is a very gracious whistle. He
was getting man Only ten of his points

29
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.599
came off of actual field goals with
his twenty six points in this one.

30
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.080
But the Clippers, they can only
blame themselves. They got to the free

31
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.800
throw line more times than Miami,
thirty two to twenty seven in terms of

32
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:38.879
attempts. Difference was Miami took advantage
of theirs. They went twenty six of

33
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:45.840
twenty seven at the charity stripe.
The Clippers missed nine free throws after missing

34
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:50.400
ten in New York in a game
they lost by eight. I want to

35
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:55.439
say it was they lose by seven
after missing nine free throws. Now,

36
00:02:55.560 --> 00:03:01.360
you're unlikely you're gonna make all of
them. But if they just only miss

37
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:06.199
three, we're going into overtime.
And yeah, I know there's butterfly effect

38
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:10.159
and the scores affected and what play
is called based upon what free throws are

39
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:15.400
made. But they just weren't good
enough there against Miami, against a team

40
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.400
this good, best team in the
East, best record in the East right

41
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:23.599
now, and you don't take advantage
of the freebees at the free throw line.

42
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:30.360
That's what does them in. The
starters weren't very good overall. They

43
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:37.680
get outscored sixty four to fifty by
the bench. The Clippers are down by

44
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:43.960
twenty three with five oh six left
in the third quarter. They cut it

45
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.400
to within eleven, but Miami would
hit a three pointer, get a two

46
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:52.319
from Tyler Hero. They're up sixteen
going into the fourth, and the Clippers

47
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:58.599
did keep chipping away. They had
it down to eleven quick and Luke Kennard,

48
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:01.039
I forget who said it first.
I think it was Terrence Man.

49
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:09.400
Yeah, you're saying this was during
media sessions preseason. Luca ARD's a bucket.

50
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:14.520
Luke's a bucket. Yes, he
is. Has sixteen points in the

51
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.000
fourth quarter alone to try to wield
them back. He's not just a bucket.

52
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:24.000
This guy is clutch. I've seen
enough. He loves the big moments.

53
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.800
It's not just what he did against
Washington. He closed out the Lakers

54
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.000
and their loan meetings so far this
season. They'll see the Lakers again coming

55
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:38.040
up next week. But has twenty
three on seven to fourteen, shooting five

56
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:43.920
of eleven from distance, has the
steel and the assist to a mere coffee

57
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.519
to make it interesting to bring it
to within four or thirty seconds left.

58
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:55.920
And he's also guarding Jimmy Butler in
the fourth at times. He's become such

59
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:02.240
an improved defender this season, an
improved playmaker. He's just better in every

60
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:06.800
facet of the game. He's twenty
five years of age, and I am

61
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:12.120
so sick of people talking about his
contract being a bad contract. It just

62
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:16.480
makes no sense to me. It
is making my head explode. It's crazy.

63
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.560
First of all, everybody's said last
year, why would they give him

64
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:23.839
that contract? Well, it actually
didn't go into effect the extension until this

65
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:28.199
season, but they're continuing to say
that. Let me tell you something.

66
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:33.040
Luke Kennard is the best three point
shooter so far in the league this season

67
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:39.319
on anyone who's taken two hundred and
fifty attempts or more. He's shooting over

68
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:45.000
forty three percent from distance. The
next closest guy, believe is Lonzo Ball.

69
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:49.040
There's speaking of improvements. He's shooting
forty two percent from three and has

70
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.399
taken I think eight or ten a
game is something crazy. So he's up

71
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:57.319
there with attempts too. But go
back the last two years now, the

72
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:01.079
only guy who has shot a higher
percentage from three on five hundred attempts for

73
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:08.560
more Joe Harris. He's getting paid
eighteen million per year. Luke's at fourteen,

74
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.519
and I think he's a better all
round player than Joe Harris, who's

75
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.560
more of just a Kyle Korver type. Luke Kennard can take what the defense

76
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.600
gives him. Went down the lane
for an easy bucket as well in the

77
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:26.360
fourth because when you're that hot from
the outside, teams are gonna obviously play

78
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:30.079
it close. There will pump fake
go right by your defender. Luke Kennard

79
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:36.600
is out performing his contract. And
you can still say it's early, but

80
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:41.720
as long as he stays healthy,
this needs to be put to bed.

81
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:47.680
He's going to outperform his contract.
Oh we have a moment. Let's pause

82
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:53.720
ten seconds for station identification. Here
on a five seventy LA Sports. This

83
00:06:53.759 --> 00:07:00.480
is LA Clippers Basketball, A five
seventy KLAC Los Angeles, seven KYSRH two

84
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.560
Los Angeles, and iHeart radio station. Look, I got annoyed with this

85
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.279
stuff because if you watch a team
all the time, or you just pay

86
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:13.199
attention to the NBA and you hear
it from casuals and people see Luke Kennard

87
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.519
and they make judgments about him,
and it's like none of this stuff is

88
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:20.399
lining up. Look at his play. Look at his numbers his last three

89
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:25.720
games. It's twenty three points on
five of eleven shooting from three, twenty

90
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:29.000
three points on two of three shooting. From the outside twenty six points on

91
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:33.079
five of eight shooting from the outside. He has the four point play to

92
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:39.680
take down Washington, the second biggest
comeback in NBA history. Had twelve of

93
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.199
his twenty six points in that one
in the fourth quarter. He rises to

94
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:48.160
the occasion over and over again.
He lives for those moments. I guess

95
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:55.480
that's what playing at Duke does for
you. And one of his Dukie buddies,

96
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.120
now, okay, that was poor, they said one of his buddies

97
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:03.959
from Duke Justice. Winslow might have
had the best game of his season in

98
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:09.000
Miami tonight against his former team.
Winslow gets ten points, but ten boards,

99
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.800
five assists, a steel and a
block, and just one turnover in

100
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:18.439
twenty six minutes and is diving on
the floor for loose balls going up against

101
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:24.040
Tyler Hero creating turnovers. He looked
awesome. I told you guys a month

102
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.639
and a half ago, there was
a putback dunk for him that didn't even

103
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.960
go and I said, whoa,
look out. The athleticism is coming back

104
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.320
around for him after all the injuries
he's had the last two seasons. That's

105
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.000
why Miami gave up on him.
It's starting to come back. He looks

106
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:46.399
comfortable, he looks much more explosive. He's pushing the ball down the court

107
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:54.320
at will, and he's making things
happen by putting pressure on the defense,

108
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.879
and that is something the Clippers have
needed to increase their pace coming into this

109
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.480
season. They're better there, but
they haven't been great. But he's one

110
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.840
of those guys and that's how he
fits in on this team. He can

111
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.840
guard all five positions. That's a
staple of his He prides himself on his

112
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:20.279
defense. But with his playmaking ability
and just getting down hill and then also

113
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.759
doing the little things the hustle place. You saw that, So there's still

114
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.080
positives. The Clippers in some ways
gave away a game at the free throw

115
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.240
line against the best team in the
Eastern Conference when they were down by as

116
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:35.200
many as twenty three, when the
Miami Heat go fifteen to thirty four from

117
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:39.559
three and the Clippers just nine to
thirty five from the three point line,

118
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.679
and it was a four point game
with thirty seconds left, and they still

119
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:48.559
had their chances without Marcus Morris,
still no Paul George, no Kawhi Leonard.

120
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:54.159
In a game where the starters weren't
very good overall a mere coffee.

121
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:58.679
He was. He had ten,
He had all fifteen of his points in

122
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.240
the second half, ten and the
five in the fourth. Couldn't get a

123
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.919
big three pointer ago, but Winslow
was there for the tipping in the fourth

124
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:13.200
quarter. Hustle plays offensive rebounds,
but my key of the game was rebounding,

125
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.519
and the Clippers overall, they were
on the wrong side of that.

126
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.639
Fifty one to thirty seven. The
Miami Heat would win the rebounding battle.

127
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:26.000
They also had twelve offensive rebounds Clippers
just nine. Clippers ultimately lose one twenty

128
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:31.679
one to one fourteen in Miami to
the Heat. Let's go to Javier and

129
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.440
Lahabra Heights. You're on Clippers stock
without I'm asslin Javier. What's up?

130
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.279
What's up at him? Hey?
You know at that that formula they we

131
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:46.639
talked about all the time with combining
thirty points. Looke did his job.

132
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.159
Yeah, but matt Man was short. Man. If Man would if they

133
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.000
would have did that thirty combined,
you know, it never fails. Do

134
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.440
you win, but it just you
know, the man only a score at

135
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:01.519
four points on one of six shooting. He struggled from the floor. He's

136
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:03.120
been a little bit up and down
the last couple of weeks. He's obviously

137
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:09.000
had his moments, but he's been
up and down with the scoring. Yeah,

138
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.919
and the team tell was going to
bring up, what's going on with

139
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:16.879
Richie Jackson. He's missing an action
in the last couple of games. He's

140
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.879
not been playing the fourth quarter.
Is he is? He helped He played

141
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.080
the fourth quarter and had five big
points against Orlando. I don't know that

142
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:28.039
was big. It was just onesday
night. He obviously didn't play the fourth

143
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.039
quarter in this one because coach lou
he was gonna dance with the ones who

144
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.080
brought him there was the backups once
again who got him back into it.

145
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:39.200
So he left him in. He
even had Jay scrubbing there once again.

146
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:43.519
Who in four minutes he generated a
couple of turnovers with his defense. I

147
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:48.639
love seeing that. Yeah, I
know you're you're right, You're right now.

148
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.679
Now on Sunday, they gotta the
starter's gotta they gotta start hot,

149
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:58.200
right, They can't fall behind,
especially in a Sunday afternoon game. Yeah,

150
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.480
they have to start, you know, because the bench is doing their

151
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.919
part. So but yeah, and
the last thing is real quick about the

152
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.559
Luken Art contract. You're right.
Yeah, I hear people all the time

153
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.279
saying, oh, that's so much
money, blah blah blah. But yeah,

154
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.519
he's he's he's he's earned his money
and I don't want to go after

155
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.120
these guys for how much they make. But it continues to be a talking

156
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.200
point and it's a false narrative.
Look at Buddy Hell, he's getting twenty

157
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:26.720
four per year. He is not
the defender that Luke Kennard has started to

158
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:31.440
become. And he's not shooting like
Luke Anard is like and that is somebody.

159
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:35.399
But he has a reputation, he
has a name Oklahoma all that it

160
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.639
doesn't line up with his production.
You want to guess what he's shooting from

161
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:43.399
through this season, Buddy Hell,
what is what? He's shooting barely above

162
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.320
league average at thirty seven percent.
You know what? It is just the

163
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.519
hate, I guess because he,
like you said, he comes from Duke,

164
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.200
and there's all the haters. I
hate Duke, so that's probably the

165
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.320
reason. But yeah, not you
know that, that's good that we haven't

166
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.559
on our team. It's greatam mind
what You've got a bunch of calls here,

167
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.120
so thank you here, appreciate you. Eight six six nine eight seven

a quick break. We'll come back, We'll hear from the head coach.

170
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:16.279
Clippers lose by seven after they were
down by twenty three. The comeback comes

171
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:18.960
up short, this time against the
best hum in the East, in the

172
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.240
Miami Heat. They improved a thirty
two and seventeen. Clippers back to being

173
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.960
one game under five hundred at twenty
five and twenty six. More Clipper Stock

174
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:33.480
next, some more fire and brimstone
for you. Now that's on Sunday.

175
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:39.080
I'm ATAM Moslin and you're listening to
AM five to seventy LA Sports last night

176
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:46.960
Apple First, back to more LA
Clippers Basketball Act Defense the offense for the

177
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:54.519
Clippers on the official home of your
Los Angeles Clippers. Here one more thing

178
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.320
about Luke and Ard. Hey,
welcome back into Clipper Stock. I'm atam

179
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:03.399
Moslin. Eight six nine eight seven
two five seventy eight six six nine eight

180
00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:11.120
seven two five seventy is a full
number. Clippers lose by seven in Miami

181
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:16.360
to the Heat. They fall to
one game under five hundred. Their next

182
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.720
game coming up in Charlotte. Charlotte
beat tonight. Oh the Lakers. Cool,

183
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.639
They'll be in Charlotte. Tip time
is at ten am. We'll I

184
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:31.600
have Clippers countdown for you at nine
am in the morning. By OC,

185
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:35.279
bring your own cereal. Someone else
I want to talk about that would be

186
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.799
Eric bledsoll. I mentioned the bench
outscoring the starter sixty four to fifty.

187
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:45.879
In this game. Eric Bledsoe had
ten of his nineteen points in the second

188
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:50.080
half, was getting to the basket. He did miss one free throw,

189
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:54.320
but he was five of six six
assists. He and Isaiah Hartenstein working in

190
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.759
tandem. Those two and Isaiah was
everywhere in just sixteen minutes eight points,

191
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:03.360
hustle plays. Those are the guys. Just look at the plus minus I

192
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.759
don't always trust it, but in
a game like this, it matches the

193
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.559
eye test. The Clippers did not
have one starter on the plus side of

194
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:18.840
the plus minus category tonight. They
didn't have one bench player on the minus

195
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:24.159
side of the plus minus category tonight. Winslow led them in that category at

196
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:28.399
plus fifteen Isaiah Hartenstein plus eight,
air Bledsoe plus thirteen. These guys got

197
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:35.120
them back into it. They fought, they played really hard and like I

198
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:41.639
heard coach lou the other night after
their comeback in DC were one of the

199
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:48.000
last things he said after being at
the podium post game was starters better wake

200
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.639
up and do something to know let
me quote them correctly. They started to

201
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.240
do something tomorrow and that was the
game in Orlando. They did down the

202
00:15:54.320 --> 00:16:00.000
stretch, they carried them and beats
the Zoobots. Reggie Jackson hit some big

203
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.879
shots, they hit their free throws, and that's the thing. They won

204
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:07.120
that game, the last game they
won. You could say it happened at

205
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.960
the free throw line in Orlando Wednesday, where I believe they only miss one

206
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.399
free throw once they actually got there
in the second half. Didn't happen until

207
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.360
the fourth thirty mark. The attempt
a free throw in the first half,

208
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:23.360
but once they got there they took
advantage. Tonight they got there thirty two

209
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:30.799
attempts just twenty three makes. It's
still somewhat impressive to me though, that

210
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.840
they could miss that many be down
twenty three. Have this hot of a

211
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:38.759
shooting night from Miami and Gabe Vincent, who tied his career high with seven

212
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:45.039
Maye three pointers and started six first
six in the third quarter and You're not

213
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:51.399
gonna see Steph Curry do that very
often. Vincent trying to be a splash

214
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:55.720
brother. He has twenty three points, four shy of his career high.

215
00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:59.519
He averages eight per game. He's
a good player, He's a solid player.

216
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:02.679
He can shooter from the outside,
shoots thirty eight percent from there on

217
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:07.960
the season. That if ucs a
b but six for six in the third

218
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:14.480
quarter just some absurd shooting from one
of the lesser known role players on this

219
00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.000
Miami Heat team, and that really
hurt the Clippers as well. Let's hear

220
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:19.839
from the head coach, though,
who cares about me? Clippers lose one,

221
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:26.720
one fourteen in Miami. Here was
Coach Lou post game. I thought,

222
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:27.400
you know, we did a good
job, you know, a hero

223
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:30.759
running him out the line. I
let him get any shots up, kind

224
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:34.519
of fell asleep on a couple of
duncans. But like I said, you

225
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:37.960
know, Gabe, he did a
good job. I think making five season

226
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.880
a third quarter to kind of helped
him increase the lead. And it was

227
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:44.720
hard to come back from that,
but you know, I thought it good,

228
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.759
you know overall, but like his
five three's really hurt us. And

229
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.880
then Jimmy Butler sixteen free throws.
But you know, you know whatever you

230
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:59.599
hadn't seen, you didn't see.
Jimmy, you know, did some ability

231
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:02.279
to get a lot of this one
thing. But however, you satisfied with

232
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:06.240
defending the over ruffles. Seemed like
after the first four he wasn't really uh

233
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:08.839
outside the free Jas brother was his
Ancis game much. Well, I thought,

234
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:11.839
you know, in that first half, he did a good job of

235
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.279
baiting us. You know, we
got the switches and we were double teaming.

236
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:17.559
You know, they got a lot
of backdoor cuts that we talked about

237
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:19.000
coming into the game. You know, we gotta be locked in and take

238
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.079
those away. And so I thought
he did a good job in that first

239
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.720
half just baiting us, you know, getting hit some guys with some cuts,

240
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:27.880
some oping people in the shots.
So we didn't do good enough,

241
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.519
you know, taking those away.
But and then I thought, with a

242
00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:33.960
talent to take over the game and
control the game, he did that,

243
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:37.440
you know by running pick and roll, trying to get the switch with Luke,

244
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:41.279
and then we had a blitch and
we was in rotation a couple of

245
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:42.599
times. Pja took up made a
big three. But I just thought he

246
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:47.480
did a good job overall just controlling
the game. You feel like you could

247
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:52.160
have, say, if if there's
ways where you could have done things a

248
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.880
little curlier, Uh, perhaps we'll
light have been some of those things.

249
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:02.720
So, especially regarding the White US, I don't know, how do you

250
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:07.039
feel about that small lineup right now
and when you choose to deploys it.

251
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.920
You know, it was a good
fortun night, like I said, you

252
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:12.720
know, helps us, you know, have a chance to come back and

253
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:15.400
try to you know, win the
game. I thought Justice was great,

254
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.039
you know, like I said,
uh, ten points, ten rebounds,

255
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:22.400
five assists. I really did a
good job, you know, pushing the

256
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.680
ball, attacking, get into the
basket, and then we was able to

257
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:29.279
switch a lot more so it kind
of took the matter what they try to

258
00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:30.720
run. Like I said, I
just thought the biggest part of the game

259
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.880
was just you know, gabs abilities
to make those five threes in that third

260
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:38.359
quarter really put us behind the eight
ball. I thought, with Peter Tooker's

261
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:41.039
defense, is it one of the
most difficult players to go against in terms

262
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:45.839
of how he's from the post than
doubleing the scream and switching everywhere? I

263
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.079
mean, is it is he really
like one of the most diffult deflayers in

264
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:51.519
the Yeah. I mean, I
just think it's it's toughness, and I

265
00:19:51.559 --> 00:19:53.680
think coming into the game every single
night, he knows what his job is,

266
00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:56.680
you know, to make corner threes
and to guard the best player on

267
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.119
the floor. And he does a
great job of his physicality, the way

268
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:04.440
he moves his feet and he takes
charges. He does everything a team asks

269
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.039
him to do, you know,
And so he's a tough defender, team

270
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:15.279
defender and one on one as well. Right, go ahead, course,

271
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:18.160
tell Lui you got Jay. Can't
help yourselves, can't you? What do

272
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:25.319
you mean getting down by twenty three? Coming back valley? What do you

273
00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:30.119
guys? Guy done? What's your
conversation like these guys? No, I

274
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:32.160
mean, we don't want to keep
getting down, you know for sure,

275
00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:34.680
but we're gonna keep batting and keep
fighting. But you know, I just

276
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:37.640
think in a huddle, you know, just coming back and we just try

277
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:38.960
to get some energy. Guys in
the game, you know, wants to

278
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:42.559
lead kind of go south on us, and so like coming off the bench,

279
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:48.119
we got guys you know, Justice, you know, Isaiah Luke,

280
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:49.799
and then we kept a mirroring team
man in there a little bit too,

281
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:53.960
So you know, I think when
things kind of get out of hand,

282
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:56.240
we kind of go younger, you
know, and try to go you know,

283
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.440
try to get the energy up,
try to pick up full more.

284
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:03.200
I thought James Gubb came in,
did a good job of picking on full

285
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:04.880
court, got a couple of steals, try to take a charge, and

286
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:07.720
so just trying to find combinations don't
work, and I thought we had a

287
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:10.960
chance, you know, to do
that. You know. Blake came in

288
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:12.319
and he lived in a paint,
you know, the whole game, and

289
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:17.359
he was attacking and he was really
aggressive. So it was a good game

290
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:18.240
for us. Like I said,
I just thought I got away from us

291
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:22.079
in that third quarter when Gabe was
able to make those five threes. It

292
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.880
was really the young guys and Eric
blood Cell that got him into it.

293
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:32.079
The Clippers youth movement isn't just some
macro of youth thing going on right now,

294
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:34.640
because no Paul George, no Kawai, no Marcus Morris. There's a

295
00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:42.359
lot of minutes available. It's micro
managing games and finding energy and rotations and

296
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:47.599
lineups that work. Nobody's better at
that than coach Low, which is why

297
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:51.839
the Clippers have had these crazy comebacks. They almost had another one. They

298
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:55.640
were down twenty three five minutes left
in the third. They have it to

299
00:21:55.720 --> 00:22:00.119
within four with thirty seconds left in
the fourth, but Jimmy Butler would it

300
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:03.680
all of this free throws sixty of
sixteen from the field, and the Clippers

301
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:06.279
lose by seven in Miami. We'll
take a quick time out, we'll come

302
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:07.799
back. We'll get to your phone
calls. We got more more postgame audio

303
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:12.720
from a mere coffee eight six six
nine eight seven two five seventy eight six

304
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:18.599
six nine eight seven two five seventy. So I try to express myself open

305
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:25.720
mouth, open open. Clippers miss
a lot of open threes, especially in

306
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:32.160
the first half where they were two
of sixteen. Some of those go down.

307
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:37.079
We're talking about another Clippers big victory, but it's not to be.

308
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.559
They'll take on Charlotte in Charlotte.
It's Clippers in Hornets on Sunday. More

309
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:45.319
on that as well. You're listening
to Clipper stock. I'm autam Oslin and

310
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:55.400
this is a five seventy other sports
back to more LA Clippers Basketball Act Defense

311
00:22:55.720 --> 00:23:00.319
Clippers on the official home of your
Los Angeles Clippers see got three to team

312
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:11.079
bag now hit the closest Clippers clues
in Miami one twenty one to one fourteen.

313
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:14.799
They were down twenty three, they
had it to within four, they

314
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:19.839
come up short. Mostly the charities
stripe are there twenty three of thirty two

315
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:26.640
tonight at the free throw line.
This game was there for the taking.

316
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:32.640
They had their opportunities. They scored
fifty four points in the paint and after

317
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:37.200
just let's see nine turnovers in the
first half. I'm not just that's that's

318
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.039
bad, but the Clippers only had
four more the rest of the game.

319
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.440
That kept them in it as getting
to the charities stripe, but they didn't

320
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:51.519
take advantage enough, even with Miami's
hot shooting from the outside fifteen to thirty

321
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:56.039
four, nine to fourteen from three
in the third quarter alone, just ridiculous

322
00:23:56.039 --> 00:24:00.000
stuff credit gave. Vincent has a
career nine hits, seven three pointers.

323
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:06.200
No Clipper Nation is tired of the
role players coming up and biting them,

324
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:11.279
but those guys are NBA players too. Before we get to a mere coffee,

325
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:15.640
I have a list of demands from
the basketball gods. Talked about this

326
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:22.359
in the pregame show Number one.
I need Luke Kennard in the three point

327
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:26.480
contest. I need it. He's
the best three point shooter when it comes

328
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:30.720
to anyone this season, taking two
hundred and fifty attempts or more. Number

329
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:37.960
two, I need Keian Johnson in
the dunk contest. The highest vertical jump

330
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:42.440
that's ever been at the combine forty
eight inches. That would be Keyan Johnson.

331
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.680
Number three, I need people to
start talking about coach Lou for Coach

332
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:52.599
of the Year with what he's been
able to do with this team. Nobody's

333
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:56.200
had more injuries, especially more to
critical guys like the Clippers. They still

334
00:24:56.200 --> 00:25:00.759
don't have Kawhi. They had PG
out half the season, but two has

335
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:03.759
been out half the season. Marcus
Morris's missed a ton of games, Lukennard's

336
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.440
miss a ton of games, or
Jackson's missed some games here and there.

337
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:15.480
There are teams. Obviously, most
teams have had players miss and inordinate amount

338
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:19.039
of games this season because of COVID
nineteen. It's still just not even close.

339
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:26.240
It's the Clippers and everybody else when
it comes to their core unit of

340
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:30.200
guys missing games, and there's still
just one game under five hundred and in

341
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:37.200
the seventh spot currently in the Western
Conference. It's unreal to me, Coach

342
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:41.799
lou front office, the players give
him all the credit, all right,

343
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:45.759
Here was a mere Coffee, one
of those players who has taken advantage of

344
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:49.680
his opportunities. In fact, I
think he's been the most consistent Clipper really

345
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:56.279
the last month. He's been there. Best ability is availability, and he's

346
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:02.119
not just been there. He's been
getting fifteen a game on fifty ninety splits

347
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:07.720
his last twelve games now while playing
great defense. Well, and he didn't

348
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.559
have an assistant this one while playmaking. Here was a mere Coffee post game

349
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:15.000
speaking with the media in Miami.
Takes his time, you know, he

350
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:19.039
kind of likes to get to that
mid range game a little bit. You

351
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:29.880
just kind of keep your hands out
of there. Oh yeah, uh from

352
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:33.640
very go ahead, Hey I'm here. I'm just curious all little last the

353
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:38.839
boys, you've been starting playing a
much bigger role. What's the biggest adjustin

354
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:45.319
you had to make? Boys?
Just ad justin the more time, I

355
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:49.559
would say, kind of a change
the change of offense a little bit for

356
00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:52.440
us. Uh. You know,
with our team, we have so many

357
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:57.200
people that can make plays and our
offense just changed with with a couple of

358
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:00.759
our guys out. But I mean, I won't say this is anything now

359
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:06.519
if I thought to love about you
having to guard, you know, guarding

360
00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:07.920
whatever they need to do to guard
and do whatever they need you to do

361
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:11.279
out there, like on a night
and night basis like, do you feel

362
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:15.440
like your role I have to team
up a little bit here and there.

363
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:17.960
Are you fool with that or do
you know what you mean? Playing with

364
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:25.680
the team role? I mean it
changes night to night. It just goes

365
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:30.039
with a personnel whatever the team needs
that specific night. You know, I

366
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.319
tend to guard one through four and
it kind of just depends on who we're

367
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.599
playing. So it's something I don't
have a problem with, uh, and

368
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:47.599
we have multiple guys that do it, so think of course talking about the

369
00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:52.680
best time. Yeah I'm there.
Yeah, apologies if uh very guarding this.

370
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:56.319
But are you sensing and changing how
teams are are defending you, how

371
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.799
teams are approaching you, uh specifically
to start start games? Yeah, uh

372
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:03.480
you could. I could kind of
feel little they guarding me a little bit

373
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:07.240
uh tighter. Fixing the bier been
there kind of just suggested a little bit.

374
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:11.000
But I mean I'm still playing through
the offense, take with the defense

375
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:18.440
gives, and going to continue to
be aggressive. What's from your perspective with

376
00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:22.559
your role, what's the biggest difference
between how you play with that starting unit,

377
00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:26.000
Uh, with with Reggie and with
with Zoo, and how you play

378
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:30.880
with that line of with Justice at
the center and Blood and those guys.

379
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.960
Uh, I mean when we when
we play that lineup, it's, uh,

380
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:37.000
you know, we played small ball, so it's uh, you know,

381
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.440
we try to get out in transition, you know, as soon as

382
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.319
we get the rebound, where all
five guys running on the offensive side,

383
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:48.079
it's a lot of uh small small
pick and rolls and just a lot of

384
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:52.880
interchangeable things because you're essentially playing with
five guards out there, so uh,

385
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:56.960
just giving giving a defensive different thing
to look at. It was a mere

386
00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:02.480
coffee. I thought he played the
best of the starters, had all fifteen

387
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:06.920
of his points in the second half, But the Clippers come up just short

388
00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:11.119
this time as they tried to mount
a twenty three point comeback against the best

389
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:15.000
team in the Heat in Miami.
Clippers lose by seven final score one twenty

390
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:18.480
one to one. Fourteen. Heat
coming up next we'll talk about the Charlotte

391
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.759
Hornets who won tonight. Could they
be I always forget who they're beating?

392
00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:27.759
Oh would before good? Charlotte won
one seventeen to one fourteen over the Lake

393
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:37.400
Show. You know why they're playing
good basketball. They got some future superstars

394
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:41.920
on that team. I think we'll
talk about them coming up next. All

395
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:45.319
right here on Clippers Stock on me. I'm bout seventy LA sports and I

396
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:52.799
need to be the gustiness beeping backing
them up. Play with back to more

397
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:59.519
LA Clippers Basketball Act Defense. These
Clippers on the official home of your Los

398
00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:07.920
Ange List Clippers Side South Side.
We're gonna set this party. Don't right

399
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:15.200
west Side, west Side, We
don't set this party. Don't right lose

400
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:19.279
by seven in Miami to the Heat. Were currently at the top of the

401
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:25.920
Eastern Conference. Welcome back into Clipper
Stock. I'm at a momling Clippers next

402
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:30.720
game coming up on Sunday morning,
ten am tip in Charlotte. They're taking

403
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:36.240
on the Hornets, who have won
nine of their last twelve games, six

404
00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:41.200
of their last eight. They're twenty
eight and twenty two. Now. They

405
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:48.400
got LaMelo, they got Bridges,
they have Terry scary Rosier back who's starting

406
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.079
to find his rhythm, and they're
in the seventh spot in the East,

407
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:56.720
Clippers now a half game back.
I said they were in the seventh earlier.

408
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:02.640
They dropped back one half game back
because Minnesota is in the seventh spot

409
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:07.039
in the West, Clippers eighth now
in the Eastern Conference. I did want

410
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:11.880
to give out my Twitter address one
more time at follow out of a and

411
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.119
read my favorite tweet of the night
on a night where the Clippers lose.

412
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:22.559
I thought this was pretty right on
the money, funny light, but also

413
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:29.599
accurate and true. It's k tray
B on Twitter at k tray b quote,

414
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:33.960
this Clippers squad is stressing out your
favorite team, even without Kawhi Leonard

415
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:38.519
and Paul George as Fetcher's Papadakis,
his father would say, that's the truth.

416
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:45.759
It's hard to ask much more from
them against a loaded Miami Heat team

417
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:48.559
that's number one in the East than
what they gave tonight, considering who was

418
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:52.119
available for the Clippers. It just
burns a little bit. It stings a

419
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:56.480
little bit because they've really lost it
the free throw line and the starters didn't

420
00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:00.599
play well enough. It was there. It was a game that was there

421
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:05.759
for the taking Clippers fall, though
they can bounce back in Charlotte. There's

422
00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:09.559
still three and three on this eight
game road trip again. Tip time on

423
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:15.680
