WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:06.559 Arents manness ure once again, he's Clippers Talk. I got calls on Clippers 2 00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:12.320 Talk, immediate reaction and analysis to today's game. That's what he's capable of. 3 00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:17.760 Hosted by your pre and post game boys of the LA Clippers, Adam 4 00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:23.960 Osler. The Clippers drop kick the hornet's nest and don't get stung as they 5 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:29.079 send them back to Charlotte with a fourteen point loss. Welcome into Clippers Talk. 6 00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:33.240 After Los Angeles Clippers win one twenty to one oh six at Staples Center 7 00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:39.960 over the Hornets, and the Clippers have won four straight now Charlotte has lost 8 00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:45.159 four straight. Noah Eagles said it during the pregame show. Both these teams 9 00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:50.079 were going in opposite directions and they continue on those paths. If you'd like 10 00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.640 to get on tonight eight six six ninety seven two five seventy eight six six 11 00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.920 nine eight seven two five seventy sewn tages, hold on, we'll get to 12 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:03.159 you. You can also get to me at follow Adam A clamp City traveled 13 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:08.120 back to Staples Center. We talked about them in Minnesota. They held the 14 00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:15.359 Timberwolves to going scoreless for six straight minutes Friday night. That was in the 15 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:21.439 third quarter. Tonight, they do the exact same thing to the Charlotte Hornets 16 00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:26.599 in the fourth where the Hornets did not score after being up nine from the 17 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.719 seven o nine mark of the fourth quarter to the one o nine mark of 18 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:36.120 the fourth quarter. An unbelievable defensive effort and that his starting to be this 19 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.799 Clipper's identity. After getting off to a slow start once again, Charlotte had 20 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:46.799 thirty nine points on the first quarter, they went six of eight from three. 21 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.480 After that, they would hit just four of their next twenty five. 22 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:57.120 That Clippers defense settled in and it was over. And then offensively, the 23 00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.120 Clippers go on a twenty two to o run during that six minute stretch where 24 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:04.959 Charlotte did not score point in the fourth quarter, that was the ball game. 25 00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.919 The three pointers came back around after they missed their first six. In 26 00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:12.719 the fourth quarter, they would hit three in a row. Reggie Jackson had 27 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.840 two, Luke Kennard hit one. He would hit two more to put a 28 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:20.680 bow on this one, and in between their Terren's Man had a huge throwdown. 29 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.919 Paul George had a couple of nice makes in the mid range. Had 30 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:29.280 six of his twenty points in that fourth quarter. Finishes nine of twenty two, 31 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:35.039 just two for ten from deep. Another game where Paul George struggles when 32 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.039 four of twenty Friday in Minnesota, doesn't matter because the Clippers are leaning on 33 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:44.479 their defense, They're finding other ways to win. Charlotte led the league in 34 00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.879 points per game coming into this one, scoring one to fourteen per game. 35 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:53.319 Tonight they scored just one oh six. Miles Bridges has been off the charts 36 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.840 to start off this season, averaging twenty two, scoring ten more points per 37 00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:02.439 game this season, had twenty one points, but on seven of nineteen shooting 38 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:07.639 and just two of six from three. LaMelo Ball, who I believe had 39 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.719 sixteen points in the first half, finished with just twenty one. He goes 40 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.599 two of five. Terry Rozier shot one of nine from three. My two 41 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:21.560 keys coming into this one, or first of all, getting back in transition 42 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.759 and clamping down with your transition defense, but just on the perimeter in general, 43 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:31.080 because that's where the Charlotte Hornets have been thriving. They were second in 44 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:37.039 three point shooting at almost forty percent coming into tonight. They go ten of 45 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.680 thirty three, but got off to that hot start six of eight, four 46 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:46.080 of twenty five after that. This Clippers team is turning into they were third 47 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:52.400 defensively third best defensive rating coming into this game, or turning into a defensive 48 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.400 juggernaut right now. And they're doing so when they just got Sergeibacca back tonight. 49 00:03:55.800 --> 00:04:00.639 He struggled, did have a nice block in the early in the fourth 50 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.039 quarter, I want to say it was, but had five personal fouls in 51 00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:10.719 just eight minutes. Hartenstein had eight points in the second quarter that were huge 52 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.400 when the Clippers were down by as many as thirteen early in this one. 53 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.120 Remember, they just came back down twenty in a game to win by twenty. 54 00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.839 Before that, they used a seventeen to three run to come back down 55 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:27.680 fifteen at home against OKC. Are you seeing the pattern here? The comeback 56 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:31.279 clips are alive and well, this is what they've been doing for years now. 57 00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:35.519 But this group has been reconfigured a little bit. Eric Bledsoe in the 58 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:40.040 starting lineup, struggled a little bit, but did make his first three in 59 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:44.000 the last seventeen quarters in this one. It was a big one though they 60 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.199 needed it. Had seven points in twenty four minutes, did have five boards, 61 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:51.120 a couple of assists, miss some gimmes at the basket tonight, just 62 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:57.439 uncharacteristically missing some easy ones, but on a night where Paul George again is 63 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:01.959 nine of twenty two. Nicholas Batoum hits four three pointers, has sixteen points. 64 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:08.600 Nick Batoum, Saint Nick, since he's been inserted back into the starting 65 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:13.439 lineup, has been incredible. He's been hitting about fifty percent of his three 66 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:17.079 pointers the last five games. Now, the Clipper is getting better from the 67 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:23.040 outside, slowly but surely has coincided with Nick Batoum and how well he has 68 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:27.879 shot it from there. Terrence Man has seventeen points. A huge throwdown momentum 69 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.720 play dunk in the fourth quarter, but in the third, I believe had 70 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.680 five straight points. At one point, had the end one on Kelly Ubre 71 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:41.199 where he just took him to school, and then the very next possession basically 72 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.959 went coast to coast, was hunting Ubre at the basket and got another layup. 73 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.759 So some of the young guys, now, Luke Kennard, Terrence Man, 74 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:53.000 you wanted to see that growth from them. You saw it in this 75 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.560 game. You've been seeing it over the last week, and all of a 76 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.639 sudden, the Clippers of one four straight. They're five and four, and 77 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.759 as their offense is starting to come around and they scored one twenty in this 78 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:08.319 game. Their defense is what they've been hanging their hat on, and that 79 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.639 is a wonderful sight to see. By the way, the Clippers had twenty 80 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:16.040 turnovers. They overcome twenty turnovers in this game. We're averaging just over thirteen 81 00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:19.199 per game coming into this one. Twenty turnovers that lead to thirty points for 82 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:24.519 the Charlotte Hornets, who were getting out in transition, and they took care 83 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.439 of the basketball themselves. They just had thirteen turnovers. But the Clippers didn't 84 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.959 even play their best basketball. But they had a six minute stretch holding Charlotte 85 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.800 scoreless where they went on that twenty two to zero run and that's all they 86 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:41.519 needed down nine with seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, and they absolutely 87 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:46.600 put them away. Luke Kennard went back to back three pointers late. What 88 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.279 he's been able to do carrying over shooting well from three last year and I 89 00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:55.319 believe forty four percent, but now doing it at a much higher clip where 90 00:06:55.319 --> 00:07:01.199 he's attempting in this one eleven threes. All six of his makes were threes 91 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:05.439 to get to those eighteen points. For Luke Kennard. That's perfect cool hand 92 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:10.439 Luke good, Luke hunting by the Clippers. That's what they need from him. 93 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:12.959 And he actually led them in the plus minus category. Was a plus 94 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.920 twenty four. Man was a plus twenty two. He was second in that 95 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:21.319 in that category, Isaiah Hartenstein a plus eight. The lit crew Luke, 96 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:29.000 Isaiah Terrence Man. And you can't say enough about the type of plays that 97 00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:33.639 Man makes. Their momentum shifting place, but it starts from the defensive end 98 00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:36.720 right now for the Clippers, and I don't know if a lot of people 99 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:42.279 expected that coming into this season, for them to be this dominant without Kawhi 100 00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.120 Leonard, without Marcus Morris. Right now, they just get Serge Ibacca back, 101 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.920 and when they've needed to play their best, when they get down big, 102 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:55.120 and of course we've seen that before, but down nine with seven minutes 103 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.279 left, to hold a team scoreless for six minutes, a team with this 104 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.959 good the best beast offense when it comes to points per game in the NBA, 105 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.160 and the Clippers hold them scoreless for six minutes, and it really came 106 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.240 out of nowhere. Charlotte just went on a run to start that fourth quarter. 107 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.360 They were down two heading into the fourth, and all of a sudden 108 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:18.800 they go on a seven oh run and the Clippers absorbed it, and they 109 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.079 flew back with a twenty two oh run on their own. This this Clipper 110 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.480 stock, I'm out of Maslin eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy 111 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.560 eight six six ninety eight seven two seventy is the phone number, Seawn, 112 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:35.600 Start things off, Sean and Inglewood. What's up, hey, Adam. 113 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:41.919 It appears that every game it gets better than the next game. It's ridiculous 114 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.799 than the last game. I mean it's ridiculous. I mean the defense has 115 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:54.720 never played as well disconsistently, and they appear to be doing things offensively to 116 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.600 where, hey, when Kawai comes back, we're not just going to stand 117 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.120 around and watch Kauai. He's gonna have to speed up his game a little 118 00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:09.399 bit and work with us too. And if so many people contribute it offensively 119 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:16.639 and defensively, is that they're beginning to really develop a personality and a swagger 120 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.679 and a reputation for being able to shut other teams down. I really like 121 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.759 today's game, And as you mentioned, Paul George didn't really contribute that much 122 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:33.440 offensively and still no matter, the next guy up, next guy with the 123 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:39.559 ball will make it happen. So I really like how the offense is flowing. 124 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.440 It seems like they figure out the other teams at least by halftime and 125 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:48.279 then they shut them down. I like the momentum that they're going with. 126 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.200 And you can't say enough about Hartenstein and the way Zubo played. Did they 127 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:58.159 end the way but Tune played today? So it's gonna get nothing but better 128 00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.360 and Baca will be in shape? Sil Is it really going to get nothing 129 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.200 but better? Luke, Clippers of us say to take the entire Western Conference 130 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.679 and being a final, That's what I'm saying. Sean, thank you for 131 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.960 the phone call and always being consistent here calling into Clippers Talk post game. 132 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.720 You mentioned a couple of different guys there. Vizza Zubots put another poster on 133 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:28.120 Miles Bridges. Remember last season he got Davis Burton's at the basket. He 134 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:33.279 also got Demontes Sabonis and he's put together two really good games, two straight 135 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.279 games where it looks like he's back in sync, back and rhythm. Zubots 136 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:43.120 finished this with fourteen and eleven after having fourteen and fourteen Friday in Minnesota. 137 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.480 That's a great sign. He's kind of been rounding into shape coming off that 138 00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.559 knee injury he had in Game two against the Phoenix Suns. Remember in that 139 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.000 series in the Western Conference Finals, they weren't just missing Kawhi Leonard, they 140 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.320 were missing a Vizza zu Bots. Kind of a big deal going up against 141 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.440 eight, and you might want need to guy like that. Eight six six 142 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.000 nine eight seven two five seventy. I'll screen your calls during the break. 143 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:11.720 Clippers make it four straight. They win one twenty to one oh six late 144 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:16.440 against Charlotte because they had a twenty two to zero run where they put clamp 145 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:22.399 City down back at Staples Center and held Charlotte's scoreless for six straight minutes. 146 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.759 One of the best offenses in the league. As Seawan says, it's a 147 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.159 feeling out process early in the game and then it's a figuring out process how 148 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.759 to play their opponent. That's what we've seen from the Clippers. Now, 149 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.720 four straight victory. They're five and to four in the year. More Clipper 150 00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:45.480 stop next here on the M five seventy, say you have done HBO the 151 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:52.360 Hosing have a pony. I won last week to spill it a pony LA 152 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:58.320 Clippers basketball continue safe time shot down the stretch. This is the official home 153 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:18.919 of the Los Angeles Clip. Clippers win one twenty to one oh six over 154 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.440 the Charlotte Hornets. They make it four straight and by the way, they 155 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:28.519 have twelve o their next fourteen I believe at Staples Center, so you can 156 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.519 really start to get that home cooking going. Clippers, though, defensively, 157 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:39.320 another unbelievable effort after holding the Minnesota Timberwolves. There's just twenty seven points in 158 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.360 the second half Friday night to come back down twenty to win by twenty. 159 00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:48.240 They hold Charlotte scoreless for six minutes in the fourth quarter. The Clippers have 160 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:54.759 twenty turnovers. They still win by fourteen. They're finding different ways to win. 161 00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.919 And they did get hot from distance in the second and half, where 162 00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:07.799 I want to say they had twelve of their eighteen threes in the second half 163 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:09.759 of this one. They put Charlotte away with some three pointers late, but 164 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:15.000 it was the defense, the defense, the defense, the defense. It's 165 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:20.519 incredible watching how well that they are in sync on that end of the floor 166 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.320 right now. The chemistry, the ability to find ways to come back late 167 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:30.320 just because they can apply clamp city anytime they want to. It seems like 168 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.840 they flip that switch. Welcome back into Clippers stock. I'm at a masl 169 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.120 in eight six six nine to eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine 170 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.159 eight seven two five seventy. Paul George had six of his twenty points in 171 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:46.320 the fourth quarter. Luke Kennard had nine of his eighteen in the fourth Reggie 172 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:50.919 Jackson had eleven of his nineteen points in the fourth quarter. Clippers outscored Charlotte 173 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.799 thirty one to nineteen in the fourth. Let's go to a quill in Carson, 174 00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:00.240 A quill, you're on Clippers stock without a mass and how are you, 175 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.559 oh doing well? Just leaving a Staples Center, My family and I 176 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:11.200 and we had a blast at him. We had a blast. What was 177 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:16.000 clamp city like in person? Those six minutes where Charlotte went scoreless and the 178 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.759 Clippers just poured it on. What was that like? What was the atmosphere 179 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:24.159 like in Staples? Oh, it was like electric. It was amazing to 180 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:30.440 see them clamp down and just do what they do at this point. But 181 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:35.120 you know what, us the thing and our daughter Canny was with us tonight 182 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:43.799 and she loved, We loved fifty five Hurkins Seine is our new favorite player. 183 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:50.840 That guy is a has a motor, has an engine worth paying attention 184 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:56.399 to. Because when we need a jump start, you can put fifty five 185 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:03.960 hurkins Steine in the dame and he's gonna give us some energy. I like 186 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.440 that. A Quill Hartenstein in that second quarter when the Clippers coming out of 187 00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.279 the first quarter were down eight, had eight points in the second quarter, 188 00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:15.240 a huge putback jam. He fits right in with the mold of being a 189 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.600 Clipper. He just plays hard. And you talk about that motor, it 190 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:26.960 doesn't stop. Then you know what. After we lost montres I was wondering 191 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:33.679 who was gonna be that big energy guy that replaces Montreans, And I think 192 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:43.279 again, just five Gy is our man. He's gonna bring that energy that 193 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:48.120 replaces Montrands that we had last season. A quill I liked the phone call. 194 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:54.159 I like the comparison. There as an interesting thought. They look, 195 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:58.919 Terrence Man supplies that energy. But with Patrick Beverlely now in Minnesota, if 196 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.320 you want to replace two guys that bring it like that, as Montrez Harrold 197 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.720 would for the Clippers and we wish him well now in Washington with the Wizards, 198 00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:08.559 He's actually been playing from really good basketball. Washington has as well, 199 00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:14.360 surprising some people. But if you need two guys like that, Hartenstein maybe 200 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:18.600 the other because in eleven minutes out there and he didn't get into foul trouble 201 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:22.799 this time. But now he's splitting minutes with not just Sirgebacca, but of 202 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:29.200 course the Iron Man invitsa zoobots. Abaca came back tonight, but Hartenstein did 203 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:32.879 give him that lift in the second quarter. Look for Abacca to ease his 204 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:36.039 way in and get back into rhythm. The good thing is he was moving 205 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:40.240 well, timing was off. He had a turnover in the first half where 206 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:42.559 he threw it to somebody in the first row. There wasn't a Clipper in 207 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:47.639 sight. That type of stuff is to be expected. He'll get more comfortable 208 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.759 as he gets acclimated with some new teammates as well. But I love their 209 00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:57.679 big man rotation. Now. All these guys just have their own way of 210 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:03.080 impacting the game. They're all a little bit different out there. I do 211 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:07.599 want to hear from the head coach Toronto lu though post game here on Clippers 212 00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.720 talk as afterwards. We have some audio, I believe, and this comes 213 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.799 from Bally's Sports. Here was coach lu post game after the Clippers win one 214 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:22.319 twenty to one oh four over the Charlotte Hornets at Staples. I didn't think 215 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.839 they had much of advantage playing small against us, and I thought Zoo was 216 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.079 really doing a good job with just clogging up to paint and you know, 217 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.920 he was rebound in the basketball so if the smallest pop was gonna be able 218 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.920 to veer back to him and just forced the guards in the Zoo and you 219 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:38.880 know, he either blocked the shot and he used his verdic county and I 220 00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:45.200 thought he did a good job with that tonight. So it really wasn't really 221 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.519 a reason. I mean, they got up I think it was up nine, 222 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:51.240 like eight minutes ago, and we're ran to play for Luke Konard. 223 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:52.440 We got the flagrant foul, got two free throws and ran to play for 224 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.640 Lucanard and he made the three and kind of cut to four. So we 225 00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.920 kind of stayed where we had going, and we just you know, decided 226 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.559 to stay big. Ye I think you know, you see runs over the 227 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:07.480 course of the game, but in a quarter where you allow a fifteen to 228 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:10.880 four run and then go twenty two straight. Have you seen anything like that? 229 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:12.720 And and I guess how were you able to do anything in particular you 230 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:15.240 were able to do to go on that twenty two run. It was our 231 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:21.880 defense. I think our defense really picked up. Collegensicality, attention to detail 232 00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:25.240 was a lot better on our you know, I thought our focus in the 233 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:29.559 first half defensively was was pretty bad. We made a lot of mistakes, 234 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:33.279 a lot of game playing mistakes, and that could come from some fatigue. 235 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:34.880 But you know, I thought, you know, in that fourth quarter, 236 00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:37.160 I thought we really did a good job of just locking into what we was 237 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:40.880 trying to do, and we was able to do it. So when we 238 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:42.960 got stops, we got out in transition where we have to be a whole 239 00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:48.920 hell of a lot better in transition of converting because we're getting opportunities, we're 240 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:52.640 not capitalizing, and you know, that's kind of kind of set us back 241 00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.839 a little bit offensively because we're getting stops, you know. And then we 242 00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:59.680 had a three on one we didn't we didn't convert, and then they come 243 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.279 down the way and Zoo gets a flagant foul, gets his fourth foul and 244 00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:03.799 that was big. So you know, we just gotta start taking advantage of 245 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.839 those, you know, converting those plays when we had the advantage. Tyler, 246 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.119 you came in here and you looked at the score sheet. You were 247 00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.759 shaking your head. Twenty turnovers for thirty four twenty turnovers. But then you 248 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:18.480 guys just stopped turning the ball over. Did did you feel like they were 249 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:22.759 just absolutely at that point of the game, decided not to be as kind 250 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.039 of careless with their passes at that point. Well, they do a lot 251 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:32.200 of different things defensively. You know, sometimes they bless and pulled the single 252 00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:34.599 side guy and sometimes they they pull in the double side guys. So when 253 00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.400 we show them filming for the game, we're kind of just trying to show 254 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.079 them where they're coming from. And you know, sometimes we made the past 255 00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:44.200 blindly thinking that it was gonna be in a different spot and they weren't. 256 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:45.559 So, I mean, it happens. But just the careless turnovers, we 257 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.599 gotta do a better job with like the base side of bounds, side line 258 00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.839 of bounds, like we can't have those turnovers. And then three on ones, 259 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:55.319 you know, two on ones, we gotta make sure we convert, 260 00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:57.759 so we gotta be better with that. What makes characters looks so good together? 261 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.559 I got asked them, Well, no, I mean just you know, 262 00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:04.599 two high energy guys. You know, I think like they they feed 263 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.960 out one another. Team. Man could be down to basketball and look the 264 00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:11.880 Luke in transition. You know, I don't know. They just they played 265 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.039 well together, so they got a good thing going. We'll see if we 266 00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.720 have some audio coming up from Terrence Mann or Luke Kennard. That was coach 267 00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:23.359 lu talking about the defense during that six minute stretch where the Charlotte Hornets went 268 00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:26.680 scoreless. They did have some careless turnovers, obviously when you have twenty leading 269 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.680 to thirty points. Eight of those came in the third quarter. But the 270 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:33.799 Clippers couldn't get out of their own way. They were their own worst enemy. 271 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.319 They led by as many as eight, but they had eight turnovers in 272 00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:41.839 that quarter and only led by two going into the fourth. But as brought 273 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.759 up by I think Justin Russo, there in the last seven minutes when they 274 00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:51.480 went on that huge run, they didn't turn it over once. They locked 275 00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:55.680 in on offense there too, they were much more crisp. They were passing 276 00:20:55.720 --> 00:21:00.039 with purpose, Guys were finding one another because there were some sloppy passes in 277 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.359 the third quarter. There's no doubt about that. Coach Lu brought up them 278 00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:10.000 having two on one plays that we're broken up by themselves. Guys is not 279 00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:14.319 being able to find one another. But the Clippers find their fourth straight victory. 280 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.599 They win once twenty to one oh six. More Clippers talk coming up 281 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:21.119 next. I know we have some search of Bacca audio for you, and 282 00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:22.880 we'll get back to your phone calls at eight six six nine, eight seven 283 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:27.400 two five seventy one of the Clippers love the number one rated defense. After 284 00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:36.839 tonight, LA Clippers Basketball continue safe time shot down the stretch. This is 285 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:42.039 the official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. No nod he likes me, 286 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:48.240 Yes, okay, because I don't like y'all anyway. Man, I don't 287 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:52.920 like y'all anyway. Numbers versus everybody. Clippers WinCE to night, once twenty 288 00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:57.240 to one oh six over the Charlotte Hornets. Let's go to the game. 289 00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:03.440 Lock. It was with seven oh nine left, Terry Rozero Scary Rozio hits 290 00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.200 a three pointer. Charlotte's up in one o two to ninety three. The 291 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:14.119 next time they would score would be at the one oh nine mark when Miles 292 00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:18.279 Bridges made a driving layup, and at that point Clippers are already up by 293 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:23.160 eleven. They go on to win by fourteen after a twenty two to h 294 00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:29.240 run. They start slow, but they finished in style. They won four 295 00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:32.039 straight. Now they improved a five and four on the season. That's the 296 00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:36.200 first time they've been above five hundred. Welcome back into Clippers Stock. I'm 297 00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:38.720 at on oslon to eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six 298 00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:44.319 six nine eight seven two five seventy. Let's go to Tagus and wall Nut. 299 00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:48.079 Tagus here on Clippers stock without Hi Awsome ay Adam. I think that 300 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:51.720 team Man's dunk, who was a Clipper Dunk of the Year, that's in 301 00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:53.599 the fourth quarter. Would you think he just went straight down the lane? 302 00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:56.759 I don't know. I kind of like Zubos dunk over Miles Bridges gave him 303 00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:00.359 a taste of his own medicine. For once since Bridges has been yam it 304 00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:07.000 on everyone. Yeah, I was gonna before I make my point, I 305 00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:08.599 was gonna ask you was I was just thinking about it. I'm like, 306 00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:14.039 Miko was playing so well in the first half he's usually in there to close 307 00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:15.519 the game, but I don't think he was in there in that last when 308 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:19.200 they need that run. Was he I know he didn't hit a three pointer 309 00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:22.720 during that run. I think he was there at the beginning of it. 310 00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:27.240 No, they stayed they stayed big with a Vizza Zoobots at center, and 311 00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:32.880 obviously it worked. And in fact, that flagrant on Kelly Uber that sent 312 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:37.200 Big zeus the line two shots on the ball, he hit both and that's 313 00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:40.160 when I believe it was Luke Kennard hit that three pointers. So that was 314 00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:44.839 the big five points swing there and the Clippers favor that started off the run 315 00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:48.119 for them, that got them going. But a Vizza zoo Bots was fantastic, 316 00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:53.720 right right. I like with their great defense that they've been playing. 317 00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:57.960 I like when they pushed that ball up and they're able to kind of get 318 00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:03.279 those open threes and transition. I think Luke Kennard feasts on those. And 319 00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.119 I was gonna say when they don't have that opportunity, I think in the 320 00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:12.559 crunch time, like in the final minute, their best play is. I 321 00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:17.559 love when PG kind of gets the bought that free throw line where he posted 322 00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:21.480 up and then he usually jabs once or twice and then pulls up or he 323 00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:25.680 takes a dribble, and I think that mid range right there is like pretty 324 00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:29.079 hard to defend because he's so tall and he's just so good. I think 325 00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:32.079 that's the go to play at the end of the games. He saw that 326 00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:37.000 Game five, that's year in Utah where he hit over Royce O'Neil, and 327 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:40.160 I think this year against the Thunder they were down one with one minute left 328 00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:45.720 and he hit that free throw jump shot put him up one. And even 329 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:49.359 today I think when I think there was a play where Reggie was isoled and 330 00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:53.680 he shot a far three. The next play down they put they posted up 331 00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:56.839 George and he hit that free throw again. The free throw jump shot, 332 00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:00.960 you'll I think you'll see that throughout the ye that's they're going to be their 333 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:03.799 go to play at the end of games. It's an unstoppable play at agis 334 00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.359 and I think all six of his points in the fourth quarter were in the 335 00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.240 mid range. I know the one you're talking about. He hit falling away, 336 00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.000 tough shot for anyone else, I guess, but guys like maybe he 337 00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:19.079 Kevin Durant, some of the taller players, Jason Tatum when he's playing better, 338 00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:22.400 and he will be eventually. Even someone like Devin Booker can make a 339 00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:27.519 shot like that. Those are the shots that separate guys, that put them 340 00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:33.240 in an elite category, tough shot makers. But Paul George can get that 341 00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:36.640 off over pretty much anyone because he's the six nine Steph Curry. We'd like 342 00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:41.559 to call him sometimes anything else ages. Oh that's it. I mean, 343 00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.039 let's keep it going, see if they can make it five straight. Their 344 00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.920 next game is coming up back at Staples Center Tuesday night against the Portland Trail 345 00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:53.599 Blazers. It's the rubber match because well they beat him by thirty the first 346 00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:59.559 time around, and then the Blazers get the victory up in Portland. Damian 347 00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:03.960 Lillard on they found some dame time late in that fourth quarter. Should be 348 00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.559 a good one. But the Clippers. This was game one of a six 349 00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:14.200 game homestand but I believe twelve of their next fourteen twelve of their next fourteen 350 00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:15.880 games are at Staples Center. I want to say, so, plenty of 351 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:21.599 opportunities to see your Clippers, by the way, Clipper Nation, and I 352 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:25.519 know you'd make a difference when you see a team lockdown like this at home 353 00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:30.400 late. That's energy from the crowd they're feeding off of saw that for the 354 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:34.880 TV on Valley tonight. You can't wait to get back to Staples. More 355 00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:38.079 Clipper stock coming up next. All right here on the AMPI seventy l A 356 00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:42.000 Sports need a plane. I explained it till I broke the three bots in 357 00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:52.119 the top official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. Clippers making four straight. 358 00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:56.599 They win one twenty to one oh six over the Charlotte Hornets. Welcome back 359 00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:59.720 into Clipper Stock. I'm out of Maslin. Eight six six nine eight seven 360 00:26:59.799 --> 00:27:04.599 two seventy is the phone number I do want to hear from Terrence Man post 361 00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:11.240 game. He was on Valley Sports speaking with Christina Pink and Terrence. This 362 00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:15.960 was back and forth game until you guys went on a twenty two to nothing 363 00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:19.680 run late in the fourth quarter that spanned about six minutes. How would you 364 00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:25.559 describe the way you guys closed this game? Energy, A lot of energy. 365 00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:26.480 You know, we got down, We knew we had to pick it 366 00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.279 up, and that's what we did. PG did a great job of leading 367 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.680 us on the offensive end and defensive end. We kept together and came back. 368 00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:36.920 Well, you did a little bit of both as well. Seventeen points 369 00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:41.359 but timely dunk, some timely defensive rebounds during that stretch. What was your 370 00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.119 approach throughout this game? Just stay locked in, be aggressive on the offensive 371 00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.640 end and defensive end. I played my game. You know you talk to 372 00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:52.559 me about the defense before the game. That spurred you guys during this streak. 373 00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:55.200 What have you learned about this team throughout this four game win streak? 374 00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:57.279 That we play hard, we get right too. On defensive end, we 375 00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:04.440 communicate, We got our guys and we rebound all Terence this who all right? 376 00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:10.559 Ain't Groundhog Day? Thanks to Valley Sports for that. Terrence Man finished 377 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:14.519 with seventeen points on five of eight shooting, hit a couple of three pointers, 378 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.000 had ten boards, showing off the well rounded game. As always, 379 00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:26.720 Clippers showing their scoring prowess late, but defensively. Coming into this one, 380 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:30.279 they had the third best defensive rating in the NBA. I'm interested in going 381 00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:33.599 NBA dot com and see if they've updated things yet. I want to see 382 00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:37.359 if they are the number one defense. Who would have thought that coming into 383 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.720 this season without Kawhi Leonard just got Serge Ibaca back. Good to see Serge 384 00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.799 out there look for him to slowly get more and more comfortable. Clippers though 385 00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:49.319 five and four on the season. Their next game back at Staples seven pm 386 00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:53.200 tip time against the Portland Trail Blazers Tuesday night. We'll have your Clippers Countown 387 00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:56.920 show starting at six before we get out of here. I do want to 388 00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:03.119 thank the Clippers organization, Noah Eaglet, semen, Ralph Lawler, the callers, 389 00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:07.640 the listeners.
