WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:06.120 Time for a postgame. Look, it's your LA Clippers. This is Clippers 2 00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:09.839 Locker Road, brought to you by Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of 3 00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:14.919 the LA Clippers, and by Patchonga, official travel casino of the LA Clippers. 4 00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:19.160 Breaking down today's action with the pre and post game voice. If you're 5 00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:24.679 LA Clippers, They're locking in every game every night. Adam Osled, the 6 00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:28.719 Clippers led by twenty two in the first half, Kawhi Leonard left the ballgame 7 00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:33.399 with backspasms and they go on to lose by eighteen to the Minnesota Timberwolves. 8 00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:38.640 Here at Crypto dot Com Arena, it was a forty point turnaround in this 9 00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:42.600 contest. Welcome in your postgame show. I'm Adam Oslin. Coming up. 10 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:46.119 We will have Clippers Talk on m five seventy LA Sports eight sixty six nine 11 00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.840 eight seven two five seventy eight sixty six ninety seven two fives seventy if you'd 12 00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:54.000 like to get on early. But first back to your radio voice of the 13 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.600 Clippers in Carlo Jimenez. Tonight was tough. Carlo. We built it as 14 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.439 one of the most important games of the season, considering seating implications and right 15 00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.319 now for the Clippers, that three seed, that two seeds in, that 16 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:08.920 one seed are getting further and further away from them. In fact, they'll 17 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.400 have the Pelicans coming up, who are right behind them in the standings later 18 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:17.200 on this week. But this was a game where after Kawhi Leonard left, 19 00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.400 the Clippers just seemed to let go of the rope. They did not They 20 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.400 were not able to sustain or battle back against any of the runs that the 21 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:30.480 Timberwolves made. It really was an odd thing to watch, because we almost 22 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.719 watched two games today. It felt like, Adam, you saw the Clippers 23 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.439 who started, who were up twenty two, who were knocking down threes, 24 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:41.560 who were not turning it over, and then the Clippers proceeded to go two 25 00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:47.560 for the next fifteen for three. They proceeded to turn the ball over thirteen 26 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:52.280 times in two quarters combined, and watch their lead that they had worked so 27 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:57.200 hard to build just disintegrate right in front of their eyes because they didn't take 28 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.319 care of the basketball, because they didn't knock down those threes they were looking 29 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.560 for. I thought James Harden and Kwhi Leonard could have been a little more, 30 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.040 or shoud me James Harden and Paul George could have been a little more 31 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:10.879 aggressive in that first half. I think for the Clippers it just comes down 32 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:15.199 to trying to find a way to refocus. And I think after Kawhi Leonard 33 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:19.319 went into the locker room again. We said it on air multiple times, 34 00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.080 this was an emotional game. I mean, this building felt tense for nearly 35 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:29.159 an hour. Everyone was staring towards that far locker room, even Russell Westbrook 36 00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.080 going back, who was sitting on the bench to inquire about what's going on. 37 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:36.360 And you felt like that energy that was spent wondering about a guy who 38 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.199 wasn't coming back in the game, maybe is the reason the Clippers couldn't get 39 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.639 it back together. They were just caught up in something outside the lines. 40 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.280 Yeah, the team looked a little bit rattled out there. You mentioned the 41 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:51.120 nine turnovers in that third quarter. Minnesota goes fifteen of twenty two after making 42 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.439 their first thirteen shots in the fourth quarter. They completely took advantage of a 43 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:59.520 Clippers team that just looked to be reeling after Kawhi went to the locker room. 44 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.120 That the two run was that the span from the end of the second 45 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:06.919 quarter into the third. They took advantage of this Clippers team that was on 46 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:12.000 their heels. They win by eighteen when they were down by twenty two in 47 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.240 what was as close as you could get to a must win game for that 48 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:19.400 three seed. It's not impossible at this point, but the Clippers are gonna 49 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.599 need some help, obviously because now they no longer have that shot at the 50 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.919 tiebreaker against the Minnesota Timberwolves who win the season series. But I'm gonna go 51 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:30.080 back to something you mentioned with James Harden and Paul George. By my count, 52 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:35.840 they combined to attempt just six shots in the second half, and with 53 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:38.319 Kawhi Leonnn out at that point, they knew he'd be out for the remainder 54 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:42.800 of the contest. They simply, quite frankly, just have to be more 55 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.719 aggressive out there when their team needed them most, and tonight they just didn't 56 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.879 have it once again against this Timberwolves team. Yeah, we gave Paul George 57 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.719 a bunch of credit midway through that third quarter for having as many fruit throws 58 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.439 made as Minnesota and he didn't shoot another one. I mean, you just 59 00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.479 gotta be more aggressive to the rim for those two guys. Is a little 60 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.120 bit of a learning lesson for them. I think Tyleru definitely sees what we 61 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.400 saw. I'm sure you will go to those guys and say, hey, 62 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:11.479 here are superstars. You guys need to take control. And Chicago's no walk 63 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.520 in the park. That's a team that's really good. Again. They will 64 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:15.879 be coming off a back to back, but they have been excellent. They've 65 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:20.519 beaten really good teams as of late. The Clippers lose a little bit of 66 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:25.920 their identity without Kawhi Leonard, and they look like a team lost today, 67 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.680 like a team running around the mall, maybe maybe not searching for their parents. 68 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.079 But they didn't have the rhythm, they didn't have the flow. They 69 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:35.079 did have the safety blanket that is Kawhi Leonard that he's been so stable, 70 00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:40.399 such a huge part of this team. It's one of eighty two. You're 71 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:44.439 gonna have games like these, But when you consider what you said, the 72 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.639 circumstances, right, it would be totally different thing if we came out here 73 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.800 and Minnesota wiped the floor from front to start. But the Clippers had were 74 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:55.959 up twenty two, they're up twenty two in this game. Minnesota was one 75 00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.560 in eighty three when leading by twenty two, and there when down by twenty 76 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.000 two in their last eighty four games, and they came back in this one. 77 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.600 And more concerning, we've seen a pattern of this recently. The Clippers 78 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:10.759 led up up twenty one in the fourth quarter against the Lakers, somehow lost 79 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.279 that game. Then they lost to Milwaukee where they were in complete control, 80 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.160 up by fifteen, and now up by twenty two against Minnesota. You can 81 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:23.920 understand to a point the shock, the concern with Kawhi Leonard by his teammates 82 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.319 and how that can affect the ballgame. But still you had a twenty two 83 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.680 point lead. You had a cushion where you just have to find a way 84 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.879 to win this ballgame against a team that has had their number all season long. 85 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.199 And they win the season series once again three games to one. But 86 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:41.639 as Carlo mentioned, the best part about the NBA, you got to pick 87 00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.920 yourself back up as you got games coming up Thursday and Friday. They are 88 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.720 on a back to back starting in Chicago. Tip time for that one is 89 00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.360 at five, We'll have pregame at four, and they're in New Orleans against 90 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.800 the Pelicans, who are right behind them in the standings. After the Clippers 91 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.920 were on the wrong side of a forty point turnaround, led by twenty two, 92 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:06.199 lose by eighteen here at home to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Carlo, my 93 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:10.759 friend, great call. As always, We'll talk to you in Shytown on 94 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:13.800 Thursday. So I'm glad we play another one, Adam, let's call, 95 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:15.879 let's call it. You're a bounce back. Clippers are gonna need it. 96 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.879 I'm gonna need it. Get the taste of this one out of your mouth, 97 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.959 and hey, maybe fill it up with a Chick fil a sandwich because 98 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:26.279 there was one win there by this Clippers. I want to say to that 99 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.720 Anthony Edwards, because you had thirty seven, but appreciate the gesture. Clippers 100 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.160 fall one eighty to one hundred two. The Minnesota Timberwolves were postgame next right 101 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.519 here on Your Clippers Locker Room Show on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network, 102 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:43.279 the LA Clippers continue their hunt for a Lario Bee. They still want to 103 00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.319 get that Lario b don't miss a moment all season long. This is the 104 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:54.160 LA Clippers Audio Network discouraging frustrating loss. And that's really just the tip of 105 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.079 the iceberger. I'm sure with Clipper Nation and how they want to describe this 106 00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:01.519 one. The Clippers were up by one. They go on to lose by 107 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:06.439 eighteen here at home at Crypto to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a game where they 108 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:11.680 lost Kawhi Leonard after the first quarter. He left with back spasms, and 109 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.839 by left, I mean it looks like he left the arena because he was 110 00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:20.519 so uncomfortable he couldn't sit down. We're monitoring that situation, but this was 111 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:26.040 a big one. Can't build as that. Can't hype it up as that 112 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.600 and then try to downplay it because the Clippers lost. Not gonna be disingenuous. 113 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.240 Here they lose by eighteen in a game they were up by twenty two. 114 00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:39.319 Win with Paul George and James Harden still out there with this team, 115 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:46.560 with a team that I felt like fought harder without Kawhi and Paul George on 116 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:51.279 Sunday with what they had. Then what I saw from this Clippers team over 117 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:59.199 the last twenty eight minutes or sold this ball game. Just a really brutal 118 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.959 loss for the Pippers, who ended up shooting forty eight percent from the field 119 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:05.360 to fifty one percent for the Minnesota Timberwolves, and after a hot start from 120 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:11.959 three, Clippers finished just eleven of thirty after I believe they started nine of 121 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:16.079 eleven or eight of eleven from the outside and then would go one for their 122 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:22.000 next eleven from three. Not great, Bob. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Timberwolves 123 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:28.120 would hit shot after shot. After taking the lead by six heading into the 124 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:35.159 fourth quarter, they hit their first thirteen shots of the fourth Unbelievably, they 125 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.440 ended up going fifteen of twenty two in the final period. They outscored the 126 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:45.799 Clippers by twelve in the fourth quarter thanks to thirty seven from aunt Anthony Edwards, 127 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.639 who absolutely outplayed both Paul George and James Harden in this one. Mike 128 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:56.320 Conley outplayed both those guys. He had twenty three to pg's twenty two. 129 00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:03.879 Paul George attempted just three shots in the second half, same with James Harden. 130 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.279 They combined to attempt six shots in the second half of the ball game 131 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:15.720 where Kawhi Leonard was not available after the first quarter. This team is looking 132 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:20.080 and searching for answers right now. Hopefully they find them in Chicago, where 133 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.240 they will be on Thursday on the front end of a back to back. 134 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.159 Friday in New Orleans against a team now chasing them for that four spot. 135 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.000 We'll update you on the standings coming up. Clippers fall after being up twenty 136 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.159 two one eighteen to one hundred here at Crypto to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

We're feeling pretty secure as the top three seed 142 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.799 right now. And meanwhile the Clippers, they got questions, they got issues, 143 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:13.799 They have problems. Kawhi Leonard, he left with back spasms after the 144 00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.720 first quarter. Tried to give it a go, apparently he was feeling them 145 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:22.440 during pregame, tried to play through it after the first twelve minutes, went 146 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:28.919 to the locker room. Eventually was seen in street clothes leaving the building as 147 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:35.559 he couldn't even sit down, couldn't get comfortable.

Even though the Clippers lost this pivotal contest to 171 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:24.840 the Minnesota Timberwolves and hopefully didn't lose Kawhi Leonard for an extended period of time. 172 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:26.480 We'll update you on that. But I'm sure you've heard by now left 173 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:31.360 the ballgame with backspasms. Didn't play after the first quarter as Kawhi left in 174 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:37.519 street close apparently couldn't sit down, was so uncomfortable, So maybe going home 175 00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:43.840 to lay down brutal In a game that I certainly hyped up as one of 176 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.600 the biggest of the season, it was standings wise, If you want to 177 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.720 be a top three seed. They pretty much had to win this game, 178 00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:58.360 considering how tough their schedule is, considering where teams land right now in front 179 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.279 of them in the standing. I'll update you on those coming up. But 180 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:11.120 the most disappointing thing to me in this game is the fact that, yes, 181 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.039 I understand how it can be deflating and distracting that Kawhi Leonard is in 182 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:24.200 the locker room. You're superstar, You're superman, the guy who was looking 183 00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:28.679 like the best player on the floor in the first quarter, even though I 184 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.679 don't think he took a shot the first five minutes or so, But then 185 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.240 he leaves, goes to the locker room, and we were basically just all 186 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:43.919 on limbo. It was shrouded in uncertainty for about a half hour, not 187 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:50.519 knowing about Kawhi, seeing players and other luminaries go back there to check on 188 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.919 him, and then we found out right before the third quarter started it was 189 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.799 backspasms. Now, that could be a positive to take away from this ball 190 00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.000 game, if it's nothing more serious than that. We don't know the full 191 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:09.399 extent of it. I will say this, speaking from experience and being lucky 192 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:15.159 enough to be on the Clippers radio for seven or eight years now that in 193 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:18.639 twenty twenty one, I remember a pre game against the Boston Celtics where Kawhi 194 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:22.039 grabbed his lower back. I was watching him warm up. He headed back 195 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.000 to the locker room right afterwards. He was out for a game with BACKSPATSMS 196 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:31.600 missed that game against Boston, return the very next game. Don't know if 197 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.279 that's analogous to what this situation is, but we are obviously hoping for the 198 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:41.919 best and a speedy recovery. But what a speedy turnaround by the Timberwolves down 199 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:48.120 by twenty two to then have it to sixty three fifty five Clippers at the 200 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:54.960 half. My disappointment, though, mostly stems from the performances or lack thereof, 201 00:14:54.240 --> 00:15:03.039 from Paul George and James Harden picking things up continuing to lead without Kawhi 202 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:09.120 Leonard. I just don't understand how both those guys in this game could end 203 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:16.080 up shooting together collectively just six shots total in the second half. You're reeling, 204 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:22.159 They're bleeding points defensively, Minnesota, after Kawhi went out, found their 205 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.639 offense, got the Clippers in rotation, started knocking down threes. Mike Conley 206 00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:37.360 was scorching hot, Nikhil Alexander Walker. He ended up finishing with twenty eight 207 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.639 off the bench and went five of six from three. Mike Conley Jr. 208 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.759 Well known notorious Clipper killer, five of eight from three. He had twenty 209 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:52.799 three points, and at one point in the fourth quarter, the two Wolves 210 00:15:54.279 --> 00:16:00.480 had hit thirteen straight shots. I mean, already down. You have to 211 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:06.600 get stops to get back into it. Clippers couldn't. They just got dissected 212 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.960 and destroyed on the defensive end. Some of it hot shooting, okay, 213 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:18.720 some of it really bad defense. After giving up zero fast break points to 214 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.360 the Timberwolves last time out in that eighty nine to eighty eight victory, which 215 00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.240 I did try to caution people and say, wasn't that repeatable? The way 216 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:30.799 they won that ball game? It was a great win in Minnesota just about 217 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:36.679 a week ago. But some of that stuff you weren't able to reproduce. 218 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:42.320 Very likely they weren't, like only giving up well zero fast break points in 219 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:48.840 that game, because today they gave up twenty seven. Why because they started 220 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:53.720 turning the ball over and over and over again. They had nine of them 221 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.519 in the third quarter alone. They had just six of the half, and 222 00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:04.920 they had nine turnovers in the third quarter, they just melted. The lead 223 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:12.079 was cut into quickly because the Clippers were losing the possession battle at a dramatic 224 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:18.000 rate. They couldn't get into their offense and they couldn't stop Minnesota's offense on 225 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.119 the other end, and that happens, We're giving up a lot of easy 226 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.640 buckets in transition. We know they're not a good transition team. We know 227 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.720 how imperative it is for them to take care of the basketball. They couldn't 228 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:33.119 do it. And for the fourth game against Minnesota this season, Paul George 229 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:40.400 and James Harden weren't close to good enough coming into this one. Paul George 230 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:42.559 was shooting twenty nine percent from the field the first three games against Minnesota, 231 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:48.079 twenty eight percent from three, and James Harden was shooting twenty four percent from 232 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:56.319 the field in three games against Minnesota and twenty one percent from three in this 233 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.559 one. It's not so much the lack of efficiency, it's the lack of 234 00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:08.480 aggression. Aggressiveness they combine to attempt twenty one shots. I know Paul George 235 00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:14.440 got to the free throw line, but we're talking about four free throws attempted 236 00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:18.599 in the second half. He attempted more free throws on the second half than 237 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:27.279 shots taken, only three. That's just an excusable not good enough. Both 238 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:33.319 of them have to be better. And yeah, these are red flags and 239 00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:37.440 this is a bad matchup for them even without Carl Anthony Towns for them tonight. 240 00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:42.839 By the way, who is this back to the drawing board, I 241 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:48.559 don't know. They're seven to eight last fifteen games since the Grammy road trip, 242 00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:52.759 and they haven't looked like them dominant their dominant selves in a long time. 243 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:59.720 Paul George hasn't looked right in a long time, not at a superstar 244 00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:04.039 a lie level at least where he needs to be for this team to get 245 00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:08.440 to the Promised Land period. That's what it is, that's what he's here 246 00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:12.680 for. When you see him get locked up by Anthony Edwards who took the 247 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:15.799 ball away and went the other way in the second half for a layup, 248 00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:21.799 it was just brutal. It was hard to watch. It was like watching 249 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:26.759 your dad get beat up or something like. On that possession. Paul George 250 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:34.799 did look old or maybe gassed or maybe still hurt. Did not like that. 251 00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:41.759 A forty point turnaround Clippers led by twenty two. They lose by eighteen. 252 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.960 Let's start things off here on Clippers talk with Javier and the hober Heights. 253 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:48.200 Why because he called in probably in the third quarter, Javier, what's 254 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:52.839 up here? On Clippers? Stop with that? Amasen, what's up Adam? 255 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:57.720 Again? Thank you for taking my call. Anthony Edwards is probably right. 256 00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.079 I got stuck her in when they won or whatever was the twenty eight 257 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:07.880 out of thirty five games. But you know, I think he's right. 258 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.079 We're an old team. I mean we looked old Todd and you mentioned it 259 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.839 earlier. I mean in the third quarter at him. They had nine turnovers, 260 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:19.920 like you said, and he had four field goals and m four in 261 00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:26.359 the third quarter. I mean, I underscored just fifteen points in twelve minutes. 262 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:32.720 They did most of their scoring at the free throw line. Unbelievable. 263 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:37.319 And it just and like you said earlier, Government you said it, or 264 00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:45.640 or Carlo he mentioned that, he goes, yeah, games, Harden and 265 00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:48.720 pults have to take control. You have to take more shots. He didn't 266 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.519 do that. I mean, do you just imagine something that just happens in 267 00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:59.079 the playoffs. It's like it's like they like, come on, wake up, 268 00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:03.839 like you said, you said, refocus their profession with Adam, because 269 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.079 Tyl need to tell them. Come on, guys, CoA, why is 270 00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:11.680 not coming back? Refocus? So then maybe we can blame Tyler then, 271 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.039 So I mean somebody got taken to blame. I mean, this is a 272 00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:19.119 big game, Adam. Like you said, Look, I know is Coach 273 00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:25.880 Lou has been giving the message for quite some time now, and guys either 274 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:30.599 aren't receiving it or aren't able to execute the game plan. He's been saying 275 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.000 everything that needs to be said. I think it's on the players. It's 276 00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:37.359 on PG, It's on Harden tonight. They're the guys out there playing. 277 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.440 They're the ones that know Kawhi's out. We have to take over at least 278 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:51.640 one of them does instead both just melt it down one last one. You're 279 00:21:51.720 --> 00:21:56.599 Adam, real quick, right? Paul George five turnovers games hardin four almost 280 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.880 ten turnovers because those two guys. I mean, I told you just a 281 00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:03.640 couple of weeks ago, Paul George is going to be thirty four if he 282 00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:07.480 wants an extension. I told you, Adam, do not hum an extension. 283 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:10.200 James Harden is going to be a free agent. He's going to be 284 00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:12.359 thirty six. I don't think so. I mean, I mean, just 285 00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:15.960 keep Kawi and just rebuilding it at them. I mean it just to that 286 00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:18.319 point right now. I was like, I don't know. I mean, 287 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:23.079 here's the problem. Here's the problem. Rebuild with what. They don't have 288 00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:27.079 the assets. They don't have the first round picks. They have their twenty 289 00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:32.799 thirty right now, that's about it. They don't have the ability. Look, 290 00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:34.359 when you have guys in house, you can resign them, you can 291 00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:40.319 go above the cap, you can give out those extensions, pay to the 292 00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:44.599 luxury tax, go over the second apron And I appreciate the phone call, 293 00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:52.640 Hobber, but the Clippers are kind of all in with this crew and considering 294 00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.960 how well they were playing, when at one point they were twenty six and 295 00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.759 five over a thirty one game stretch and looking by far like the best team 296 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:10.400 in the league, it's shocking to see the turnaround and the downward spiral. 297 00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:12.519 Thinks have been in post Grammy road trip. I tried to cast from people. 298 00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:15.000 Then they went six and one. Everybody was saying, ah, we're 299 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:21.440 the best team, this is it. Who can beat us? It was 300 00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:30.480 still February, maybe late January. You can't overreact either way. And now 301 00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:34.440 it's March and there's eighteen games left till the playoffs and they have to find 302 00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:41.279 themselves and do so through adversity. It looks like coach lu said postgame, 303 00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.759 Kawhi Leonard has been dealing with back issues the last couple of games. Tried 304 00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:52.640 to play through it. So we'll see if he's available to travel with them 305 00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:56.480 these next couple of games. Well, if he can get on a plane 306 00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.640 and have his back lock up like that, I don't know. Looking for 307 00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:03.759 answers eight six, six nine, eight seven two five seventy quick time out 308 00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:10.359 here after the Clippers we're up by twenty two and had a forty point turnaround 309 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:14.200 happen on them. They lose one to eighteen to one hundred here at home 310 00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:18.680 at Crypto to the Minnesota Timberwolves. More Clippers sock next right here on the 311 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.680 Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network in the M five seventy LA Sports. They want 312 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.839 to bring a banner with them to the into it down. More LA Clippers 313 00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:32.839 Basketball on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers lost Kawhi Leonard after the first 314 00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:37.079 quarter and they lose a twenty two point lead and lose a ballgame by eighteen. 315 00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:41.960 Here at crypto final score one to eighteen, one hundred in favor of 316 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:47.960 the Minnesota Timberwolves. Welcome back into Clippers stock. I'm out a moslind Oh. 317 00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:52.960 We have a moment. Let's pause ten seconds for station identification. Here 318 00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:57.680 on the M five seventy LA Sports. This is LA Clippers Basketball AM five 319 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:07.200 to seventy KLAC loss ALESNSRHD two Los Angeles and iHeartRadio station. There was a 320 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:12.720 twenty to two run at one point by the Timberwolves, extending from the end 321 00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:22.160 of the second quarter and into the third quarter. I believe it was some 322 00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.200 of these things and these comebacks that teams are having on them, because this 323 00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:30.400 is not the first in the last two weeks. Lakers game you're up twenty 324 00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:34.440 one, and the fourth that cannot happen. The Bucks game, you're up 325 00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:40.720 on the road, in control by fifteen. They lost that. Now, 326 00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:42.519 I think it's time to say, and I think it's fair to say, 327 00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:48.799 this is a trend, this is a pattern. It's happened three times in 328 00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.119 the last week and a half, two weeks, they've relinquished big leads. 329 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:57.279 It happens in this league with hot three point shooting, but twenty two at 330 00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:03.000 home in a game of this magnitude. Yeah, they lost Kawhi Leonard. 331 00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:10.440 I'm sure guys were a little bit rattled and thinking about Kawhi, But you 332 00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:15.359 have to refocus, you have to Paul George and James Harden are still out 333 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:22.279 there. But some would say not doing enough, not active enough. Six 334 00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:26.799 total shots taken by those two guys in the second half when Clipper's defense wasn't 335 00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:32.319 doing much their offense, they had to figure something out on that end, 336 00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:36.480 and you would think one of those two stars could get it going. But 337 00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:41.920 for the fourth game this season against Minnesota, they could not. Let's go 338 00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.680 back out to the phone lines, man Jose and Downey Jose, you're on 339 00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:49.880 Clipper staff with out of manslam. What's up? What's upbout him? I 340 00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:53.799 gotta say, like you said, the trend of losing big games like this, 341 00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:59.359 not showing up for big games like this, having a twenty point lead 342 00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:00.960 and I'll being to hold it. I mean, even if you win by 343 00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:03.359 like five, four, whatever it is, at least being able to hold 344 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:08.559 it. It's not looking like a championship team. I'll tell you that much, 345 00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:12.839 right, now, man, it sucks, because that's why you make 346 00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:18.240 the Harden trade. That's why you have Harden and Paul George on the court. 347 00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:23.119 When Kawhi goes out or somebody goes out. It's just to be totally 348 00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:29.400 honest. Been around for twenty six, twenty seven years, and this is 349 00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:33.319 the most disappointing I've been on the team this year because all the ups and 350 00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:38.279 downs, then they were at the highest of highs and now it feels like 351 00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:44.000 the lowest of lows right now. That's where this Clippers team is at when 352 00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:47.759 you go through a two month stretch where you have the best record in the 353 00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:55.400 league, and not just that you're dominating teams offensive elite defense certainly good enough. 354 00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:00.200 And now over their last sixteen games since the Grammy road trip, make 355 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:06.440 it fifteen, where they are seven and eight, they have a defensive rating 356 00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:14.160 of twenty fifth twenty fifth an offensive rating of sixteen. So they're not the 357 00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:18.839 same ball club right now. And I've at least been trying to tell people 358 00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:22.200 this for some time post Grammy road trip, that they haven't looked the same, 359 00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:26.599 that they are playing bad basketball. Is it just a blip on the 360 00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:29.359 radar? Can they pull out out of this. Yeah, there's eighteen games 361 00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:32.519 left, but now we don't know the status of Kawhi moving forward, if 362 00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:37.559 he'll be on the road trip. And Paul George and James Harden just were 363 00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:41.720 not good enough tonight, weren't good enough in any of these games against Minnesota 364 00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.839 Timberwolf. So I appreciate the phone call, Jose. Understand where you're coming 365 00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:51.519 from, Clibernation entering a world of pain a little bit tonight, Mike in 366 00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:56.079 La Mike, you're on clipper Stock without Amasen. Hey, Adam, I 367 00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:02.359 I don't know if I can add to all the stuff that's been said so 368 00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:07.400 far. I mean, this is just gut wrenching. I mean, this 369 00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:11.279 team needs to just look at look themselves in the mirror. And you know, 370 00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:15.440 I mean after tonight, there are only four games out of the play 371 00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:19.240 in tournament. You know, forget about you know, trying to get a 372 00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:22.400 top three seed. You know, if they keep playing like this, they 373 00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:30.400 could easily wind up in the playing tournament. It's it's all possible right now, 374 00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:33.920 with how close things are in the West, I think it's still unlikely 375 00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:40.119 for that to happen, considering the team behind them is four games behind, 376 00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:41.839 them in the seventh spot. The Clippers are in the fourth spot. That 377 00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:45.680 first team in the play in that's in the seventh spot, that's the Sacramento 378 00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.839 Kings. And there are four games behind the Clippers, more games, a 379 00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:53.720 lot to make up in less than twenty games. If it is like this 380 00:29:55.880 --> 00:30:00.799 much more easily than get picked, do you expect them to continue to be 381 00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.480 up twenty two and then have a forty four point turnaround happen on them? 382 00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:07.880 Though? I know, I know it's they've blown some leaves lately, but 383 00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:14.319 this was extreme. This is brutal. This was I mean, they to 384 00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:18.240 these next two games, this next back to back against Chicago and the New 385 00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:22.440 Orleans crucial, both of the must win games, especially that New Orleans win. 386 00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:29.400 New Orleans right behind them by just two games. They're seven and three 387 00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:32.960 their last ten, Mike, thank you for the phone call. Eight sixty 388 00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:37.880 six nine seven two five seventy eight sixty six nine seven two five to seventy. 389 00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:41.039 Clippers also now just three and seven against the top three teams in front 390 00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:45.839 of them in the Western Conference standings. That's something that has been concerning to 391 00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:52.640 me for some time. Some of those games they didn't have Kawhi, but 392 00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:59.559 they've never looked quite right against Minnesota, and even when they won eighty nine 393 00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:03.960 to eighty eight eight, I saw some issues there. I didn't think that 394 00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:07.759 was repeatable. The way they won that game. They got aut rebounded by 395 00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:15.839 fourteen. Tonight, Minnesota ended up getting up twenty three more shots than the 396 00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:19.160 Clippers, which is way too much to overcome. There's just no way. 397 00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:23.680 It's one thing where they had in the first quarter seven offensive rebounds, but 398 00:31:23.720 --> 00:31:30.160 the difference was they had six turnovers, so it equaled. It leveled things 399 00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:32.240 out a little bit, the fact that the Clippers were taking care of the 400 00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:36.799 basketball even though Minnesota was getting those extra possessions and offensive rebounds. But once 401 00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:40.680 the Clippers gave up the basketball nine in the third quarter, that was it. 402 00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.880 You can't have both happen against you with getting out rebounded like that to 403 00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:53.160 that extent, and then also end up with nineteen turnovers to just eleven for 404 00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:57.440 the Minnesota Timberwolves, so they had four turnovers in the last three quarters. 405 00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:02.240 Al Yun and Lang castor Alun? What's up here on clipperstock? Yes, 406 00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:07.200 thank you for taking my calls. Yeah, all I want to say today 407 00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:15.839 I think Clippers maybe made a coach man because of what happened. It keeps 408 00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:22.160 happening all the time. When Slippers are down by twenty, then very good. 409 00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:27.319 All the time. With Slippers are all by ten by twenty, they're 410 00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:32.759 always relaxed. I think that is the coaching program. Yeah, they've let 411 00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:37.680 go of big leads recently. I don't agree getting rid of coach Lou is 412 00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:43.079 the solution. I think he's the guy that can get them out of this. 413 00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:47.519 Actually, when they have faced diversity, when they have been down oh 414 00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:52.079 two and multiple playoffs series back in twenty twenty one, Coach Lou was steady. 415 00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:59.359 He's their leader, and they dug themselves out of that hole. They're 416 00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:07.240 gonna have to do this right now because the Pelicans are coming. There's blood 417 00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:12.519 in the water and Phoenix, by the way, they just got Devin Booker 418 00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:15.759 back again. They've been beat up, but they're in the six spot. 419 00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:20.240 There are three and a half games behind the Clippers. They're gonna make a 420 00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:23.240 surge and I think the Clippers still have two games left against them, so 421 00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:28.400 it's all on the table right now. But a top three seed, the 422 00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:31.400 door may have shut on that tonight because now they don't have the tiebreaker against 423 00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:36.480 Minnesota, and they're down in the series against Denver two games to one. 424 00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:40.519 They lost the series against OKC two games to one. So against the lead 425 00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:46.480 competition, the Clippers, they haven't met the challenge, not nearly enough. 426 00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:52.160 Uh, let's go David from Santa Monica leaving the ball game and he dropped 427 00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:57.079 Joe and burbank Joe, what's up here on Clippers? Out with that? 428 00:33:57.079 --> 00:34:02.039 Am? Also? Hi had him. Just a quick thing that I noticed 429 00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:07.199 these last few games on defense compared to like earlier on in the season, 430 00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:15.079 is we're just not reading the offensive plays fast enough and we keep like reacting 431 00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:19.880 just a step too slow to things. And I'm not sure if that's just 432 00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:23.679 tired legs or like guys are just not taking pride in their defense. But 433 00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:29.800 like I saw a few plays today where we could have probably stopped the ball, 434 00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:34.199 but we just reacted like one second too late and that was it. 435 00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:37.800 And I don't know if they're just trying to save energy, but the whole 436 00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:42.800 thing is like you're gonna make mistakes on offense and then you're not defending, 437 00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:46.199 You're gonna have to expend even more energy trying to come back down, So 438 00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:52.000 you're kind of defeating the whole purpose of like being a little lazy on defense. 439 00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:57.039 So yeah, that's what's my thoughts. No, I think that's a 440 00:34:57.159 --> 00:35:01.280 salient point, as VTV would say, Joe, It's something I've talked about 441 00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:07.079 for a long time here. Are they building good habits or bad habits? 442 00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:12.519 Feels like bad habits certainly of late, and even when they were winning games, 443 00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:17.159 Kawhi criticized them for relying too much on talent instead of execution, getting 444 00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:24.119 by too much on talent instead of execution. They're not sound game to game 445 00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:29.079 where you don't know where you're gonna get. With the Clippers team, very 446 00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:36.519 often you don't know possession to possession, cord to corner. That's what it 447 00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:39.639 has been like with this team. Adam and Staten Island. Adam, what's 448 00:35:39.679 --> 00:35:45.559 up? You're on Clipper sock? What's going on? First time caller? 449 00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:49.119 I think it's an appropriate time for me to call. I just wanted to 450 00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:53.159 add some things. I'm not too worried about the backspasms that Kawhi has. 451 00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:59.880 It didn't seem too serious that he was walking on his own and he did. 452 00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:08.000 He wasn't grimacing as much but it's disappointing to see how when we're down, 453 00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:15.360 when we're down like about ten points, you don't see tylu on the 454 00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:21.000 sideline trying to hype his team up, screaming or you know, doing something 455 00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:23.519 to get some energy in the team. I understand it's on the players at 456 00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:27.440 some time, at some Yeah, go ahead, I'm sorry. I mean, 457 00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:31.039 Adam I watch him often. I've seen plenty of that. I saw 458 00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:35.920 him get ejected from a game a couple of weeks ago. Actually, i've 459 00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:39.719 seen it. Yeah, you're right. I don't want to read too much 460 00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:44.119 into the body language or how much a guy is screaming sometimes. I mean 461 00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:49.199 Phil Jackson rarely ever did that stuff. He played for him. He's cut 462 00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:52.559 from the same cloth like, so when he does get angry, it holds 463 00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:57.519 more weight. I think he's out a sense of emergency. I don't know 464 00:36:57.519 --> 00:37:00.519 what it's going to take for Paul George to get at some of that. 465 00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:04.360 And James Harden as well, who may just have dead legs at this point 466 00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:07.360 because he's played so many minutes over the last couple of months, and that 467 00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:13.039 is a concern. But continue Adham. Yeah, so that's that was My 468 00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:16.039 next point is with Paul George. I don't know what it takes for him 469 00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:21.239 to get going when he's not even he wasn't having that much of an off 470 00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:23.920 night. I'm saying maybe in the first half he was what was he like, 471 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:29.480 one of three from three, and then he hit another two another two 472 00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:32.199 threes in the second half, and half of his points came from the free 473 00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:37.239 throw line. That should get him going those points at the free throw line. 474 00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:40.079 We saw him last month or a couple of weeks ago, when he 475 00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:44.239 was missing those open threes. He wasn't getting to the free throw line, 476 00:37:44.320 --> 00:37:46.599 and that caused him to miss a lot of open shots. Now he's getting 477 00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:51.039 to the free throw line, but he's still not putting up those twenty five 478 00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:53.920 to twenty seven points that we need from him, especially when Kawhi is not 479 00:37:54.039 --> 00:38:00.280 on the court. No, I completely agree on that point. Thank you 480 00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:04.440 for the phone call, Adam. Paul George started off this game with a 481 00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:08.559 three over Kyle Anderson. Then he had that spin move on nas Reed, 482 00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:14.000 who the Clippers were hunting. At one point where he dunked, he tried 483 00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:17.159 to throw it down on go Bear. Did he just empty the tank? 484 00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:22.679 Does he not have the gas right? Now because dealing with the growing injury 485 00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:29.199 and then the knee injury. Is his win not there, because I don't 486 00:38:29.239 --> 00:38:32.960 know what to attribute the passiveness we saw in the second half to where he 487 00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:39.039 only attempted three shots. That's just inexcusable in a game like this, too 488 00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:45.639 important, far too important of a ball game for Paul George to go quiet 489 00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:51.039 late without Kawhi, Leonard Paul, and Rancho Cucamungo. Before we break here, 490 00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:52.800 Paul, what's up here on Clippers South? With that? I'm also, 491 00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:57.239 yeah, well, you've covered a lot of good stuff. I just 492 00:38:57.280 --> 00:39:00.199 wonder maybe you know, all year long, the experts have been saying, 493 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:05.159 this is a really deep team. This is a really deep team. Okay, 494 00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:09.239 so Westbrook is out. I don't know they look deep on Sunday against 495 00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:15.119 Milwaukee, did they not without Kawhi and Paul George? Yeah? I mean, 496 00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:19.800 yes, they have James Harden. But are they missing over the course 497 00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:23.719 of the whole season? Are they missing with Niko Batoum and Robert Covington thwart 498 00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:29.039 twenty You know these runs that these they lose the lead, It's just how 499 00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:31.960 fast they lose the lead. That's just what blows me away. I mean 500 00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:37.880 it's because I think it's because of those bad habits that are built up where 501 00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:45.280 they choose when they want to engage and flip the switch. Maybe that win 502 00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:47.719 over the Nets where they had a twenty two to oero run to finish that 503 00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:54.599 ballgame here at Crypto, they came back miraculously. Maybe it developed a bad 504 00:39:54.599 --> 00:39:59.840 habit where they thought, oh, we can pick and choose when we want 505 00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:05.960 to play hard. But that's not what championship teams do. Right forty eight 506 00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:07.280 minutes, I wasn't even I was nervo. I told my wife when they 507 00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:10.079 were up by twenty two. I said, I'm not that I'm not comfortable. 508 00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:14.840 That's pretty bad when you know I've been watching him for so long. 509 00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:22.079 Yeah, Paul call in on Thursday. I like you, So we'll take 510 00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:25.239 a quick time out here on Clippers stock after they let go of a twenty 511 00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:29.320 two point lead. Kawhi doesn't play in the final three quarters. He leaves 512 00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:31.639 this one with back spasms, and the Clippers lose by eighteen to the Minnesota 513 00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:35.360 Timberwolves. And what was as close as you can get to a must win 514 00:40:35.440 --> 00:40:39.119 game for seeding purposes if you want to be a top three seed this season, 515 00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:43.320 Clippers lose one eighteen to one hundred to the Wolves. More Clippers stock 516 00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:45.360 next year on the M five seventy LA Sports. They want to bring a 517 00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:51.679 banner with them to the into it dull more LA Clippers Basketball on the LA 518 00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:57.440 Clippers Audio Network. It was a forty point turnaround on your Los Angeles Clippers, 519 00:40:57.480 --> 00:41:00.679 who led by twenty two and lose by eighteen. Here at home at 520 00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:04.840 Crypto dot Com Arena to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Welcome back in This is Clipper 521 00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:07.400 stock. I'm in a maslet coming up. We'll get back to a few 522 00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:14.199 phone calls, but before that. On the Super Secret Guest Hotline, it's 523 00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:19.559 Will Updyke of Clips and dip Fame. I'm glad we have Will on tonight 524 00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:23.360 because he normally doesn't come on during losses, so I know he's already annoyed. 525 00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:27.800 He's already gonna be hot. Will We got what a certain show likes 526 00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:31.880 to call five good minutes here with you. Give it to me. What's 527 00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:37.360 your biggest gripe coming out of this? Just brutal, nightmarish type of loss 528 00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:42.960 by the Clippers. The way this team continually chooses to take their foot off 529 00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:45.840 the gas. I realized that we didn't have Kawhi Leonard after the first quarter. 530 00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:52.760 But there's just no excuses for this. They just defensively did not have 531 00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:55.119 the effort there, They did not have the speed and I thought they were 532 00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:59.960 getting blocked around the room because they just looked a step slow in the lane, 533 00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:02.840 Like I don't understand why they can't sustain this sort of effort. And 534 00:42:04.119 --> 00:42:07.199 Kawhi going down, I feel like makes it less of an excuse because you 535 00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:09.199 know you have to do more, you know you have to step up. 536 00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:15.559 Look, and having a near forty point performance is even acceptible to me. 537 00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:20.400 That's fine. What's less acceptable is Mike Conley going off for twenty three points 538 00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:23.719 and to Keith Alexander Walker coming off the bench for damn near thirty Where I 539 00:42:23.719 --> 00:42:28.280 mean, where was Paul George late in this game? Nine second half points? 540 00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:30.880 It's ridiculous, man, these guys, I just I don't know what 541 00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:36.199 to do. I keep thinking every single time that we have one of these 542 00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:39.920 terrible like take our foot off the gas losses, like oh, this is 543 00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:44.039 the wake up call, It's really coming now. Now they're gonna get it. 544 00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:45.559 Now, they're gonna be on the same page this. I mean, 545 00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:51.960 this surely has to make them snap into gear, and it just doesn't. 546 00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:54.960 And if Kawhi Leonard misses any of this back to back or part of this 547 00:42:55.559 --> 00:43:00.760 four and six or whatever it is, I don't even know how much trust 548 00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:05.039 they have in these guys being able to pull it together. It feels like 549 00:43:05.719 --> 00:43:08.760 you mentioned the wake up call there and this team just hit the trip to 550 00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:14.719 fam snoozel arm or something. It's you're up fifty seven to thirty five with 551 00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:22.159 five thirteen left in that second quarter, and somehow at the half it's only 552 00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:25.400 an eight point lead. It's just like the Lakers game. You know, 553 00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:29.800 they gave it up within a couple of minutes early in that fourth quarter. 554 00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:32.960 A twenty one point lead was down to I think nine by the time Kawhi 555 00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:37.760 Leonard came back in. I just it's confounding. It is. It is 556 00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:43.679 honestly as much of a head scratcher as you can have for a team that 557 00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:47.000 has had too many of these recently. And I feel the same way of 558 00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:51.400 regarding Paul George and James Harden in this one. It's not even so much 559 00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:55.480 the points. It's tied together, but they weren't even taking shots. They 560 00:43:55.480 --> 00:44:00.920 combined for six shots in the second half. Will how it makes no sense. 561 00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:04.920 Norm Powell didn't even get in double ditch when he was super hot. 562 00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:08.480 Zoo, who I thought looked really good early, didn't get opportunities. And 563 00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:13.320 this is like a continual thing. I feel like offensively for this team. 564 00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:15.960 I know, look, Charles and I did a live stream. Ty Lou 565 00:44:16.159 --> 00:44:20.679 was catching a lot of strays. I don't think it's Tyleru's fault that these 566 00:44:20.679 --> 00:44:24.960 guys can't execute an offensive game plan. They continuously look for the hardest shot 567 00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:29.679 on the floor, waste so much time on the clock, and then will 568 00:44:29.719 --> 00:44:34.440 for suboptimal shots. And I think that that's one of those things that makes 569 00:44:34.480 --> 00:44:37.840 it really tiring on yourself. Why not throw the ball, download a Zoo, 570 00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:39.719 why not get try to get him going? Why not get Norm Powell 571 00:44:39.719 --> 00:44:43.960 some shots? Look, the three point shooting that we have in that for 572 00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:46.440 his quarter was not going to be sustainable for an entire forty eight minutes. 573 00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:50.800 It's not sustainable for an entire game. I get that, But if you 574 00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:54.519 watch that first quarter, the motion that they had, the ball movement, 575 00:44:54.519 --> 00:45:00.320 they were getting easier looks, and I just did not see that halpen in 576 00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:05.079 the second half. Yeah, they had seven assists on their eleven makes in 577 00:45:05.119 --> 00:45:07.840 that first quarter, and you let a team go on on twenty to two 578 00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:12.400 run, Like, where is the run stopper? When are we going to 579 00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:17.679 see that? Someone has to step up in those moments, take the bull 580 00:45:17.719 --> 00:45:22.760 by the horns and say no, this is not happening tonight. But instead, 581 00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:27.360 I don't know, is this team now, you know, in that 582 00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:31.320 position because of all the comebacks over the last couple of weeks where they are 583 00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:35.320 in that afraid to fail mode where they feel like, oh, oh, 584 00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:37.480 here we go again. The comeback is on and there's nothing we can do 585 00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:42.400 about it. The floodgates have opened and we have nothing left in the tank. 586 00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:45.400 Because that's what it looked like throughout the second half and really the end 587 00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:49.079 of the second quarter on. I mean, that's the way they're playing. 588 00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:51.480 I mean, I said take the foot off the gas, which I think 589 00:45:51.559 --> 00:45:55.599 is true. But they just they visibly are tensing up in these situations. 590 00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:59.679 And maybe you're right. Maybe it's because it's become a repeated thing and like 591 00:45:59.760 --> 00:46:02.800 they you know, they're overthinking it, they get too into their heads about 592 00:46:02.800 --> 00:46:07.320 it. But like, look, man, this would be a very different 593 00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:10.360 story if you know, this turned into a possession battle and it was a 594 00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:15.800 back and forth game. I could understand that down your best player. I 595 00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:17.880 mean, certainly the Wolves are missing a major rotation player, but this is 596 00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:22.079 a good team, Like it makes sense that they could overcome a twenty point 597 00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:27.280 deficit and this could be a tight game. It's a forty point turnaround, 598 00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:31.239 though, I mean like a quarter and a third essentially that you I mean 599 00:46:31.360 --> 00:46:37.880 that you got beat by is completely unacceptable and unfathomable for a team that considers 600 00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:44.159 itself a contender. And right now, I mean in this game, you 601 00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:47.679 know, like we're now what three games back, I believe of the Timberwolves, 602 00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:52.960 it's looking more and more inevitable that Denver is going to take that top 603 00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:58.000 spot. And I mean, how long does this postseason go? If if 604 00:46:58.320 --> 00:47:00.719 we get out of the first round and then you're staring just staring Denver in 605 00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:04.960 the face. Yeah, you know, we've been planning out a roadmapping. 606 00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:07.280 Oh how can the Clippers get to the Western Conference finals? What's the path 607 00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:10.639 of least resistance? Right now, they should be worried about getting out of 608 00:47:10.639 --> 00:47:15.000 the first round and who that opponent could be and where they might end up 609 00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:20.559 in a situation where they're the road team, they could end up the five 610 00:47:20.599 --> 00:47:22.679 seat again, just like last season. They could be going to Phoenix, 611 00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:25.920 they could be going to New Orleans if they don't figure it out quickly. 612 00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:30.800 Here, there has to be a sense of urgency and I think it just 613 00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:35.199 comes down to mental toughness right now. And this Clippers team, I don't 614 00:47:35.199 --> 00:47:37.800 know if it's scar tissue from the comebacks we've seen over the last couple of 615 00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:43.480 weeks for why tonight happened in the way in the manner it did, but 616 00:47:44.039 --> 00:47:51.079 there are some wounds on this team where it just seems like psychologically they're not 617 00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:54.679 able to snap out of some of these funks in time to rescue a ball 618 00:47:54.719 --> 00:48:00.840 game, and that is just frustrating to watch. Yeah, and look, 619 00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:05.599 they have an extremely difficult schedule coming up. We know how hard March is 620 00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:08.639 going to be. But for me, the game I'm watching like the game 621 00:48:08.679 --> 00:48:13.480 I have circled on my calendar to see if this is finally the wake up 622 00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:16.280 call? Is that Pelicans game, Because you have a team that has come 623 00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:21.000 out of the All Star Break as one of the hottest teams in the NBA, 624 00:48:21.159 --> 00:48:23.880 a team that has had your number all year? How are you going 625 00:48:23.960 --> 00:48:28.320 to respond? How are you going to how are you going to take on 626 00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:31.199 that challenge and win or lose. It's going to be about what this team 627 00:48:31.360 --> 00:48:36.119 looks like in that matchup, and that's what they should be focused on. 628 00:48:36.159 --> 00:48:38.760 I'm not saying, you know, you can't fall asleep at the Wheel in 629 00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:44.320 Chicago or anything, but like that needs to be the statement game. It's 630 00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:47.599 time to make a statement again, which they haven't done since the Grammy Trip. 631 00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:52.159 Yeah, it's been since that Boston game early the Grammy Trip, going 632 00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:54.800 six and one. It was great. Everybody celebrated it. I try to 633 00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:59.599 tell people, clear jets, pump your breaks a little bit. It's still 634 00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:05.239 late January, early February, and now a month later or so, looks 635 00:49:05.280 --> 00:49:08.280 like a completely different ball club with all kinds of issues going on right now. 636 00:49:08.400 --> 00:49:15.079 Just whack them all problems where you think you fix one another arises He 637 00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:17.880 is well Updyke from Clips and Dip. We'll have a big YouTube for you, 638 00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:22.360 of course tomorrow previewing the upcoming road trip.

Let's hope this is the wakeup call people. 641 00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:34.679 I like it. I like the positivity from will we'll come back, We'll 642 00:49:34.679 --> 00:49:40.400 close things out. Clippers have a forty point turnaround happen against them, up 643 00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:46.639 twenty two to down eighteen and losing by eighteen one eighteen to one hundred was 644 00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:51.960 the final. Here at Crypto dot com arena, they fall to the Minnesota 645 00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:53.480 Timberwolves. And this is Clippers stock. Here aready have five to seventy LA 646 00:49:53.519 --> 00:49:58.159 Sports. They want to bring a banner with them to the into it dull 647 00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:05.519 more LA Clippers Basketball on the LA Clippers Audio Network Call Blue Call Kit. 648 00:50:05.760 --> 00:50:09.960 Clippers are in a tail spin seven and eight since the Grammy road trip, 649 00:50:10.679 --> 00:50:15.199 and they just had was a forty four point turnaround on them and at forty 650 00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:20.559 as they would lose one eighteen to one hundred. And here at Crypto dot 651 00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:23.519 com Arena, welcome back into Clippers Talk. I met a Moslin quickly before 652 00:50:23.519 --> 00:50:27.519 we get out of here. Thirty seconds here Rick in La. Rick here 653 00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:31.239 on clipperstock, Hey, thanks for taking my call. I'm pretty tired of 654 00:50:31.280 --> 00:50:36.639 beat up for listening to all this, but just a quick, quick commic 655 00:50:36.719 --> 00:50:40.960 quick question for you. When a team of talented ballplayer loses twenty point leads 656 00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:46.000 as fast as they do, how is that not on the coach? I 657 00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:49.639 mean, the coach is supposed to time the timeout. What do you think 658 00:50:49.679 --> 00:50:53.199 you could deal with? You don't think he called timeouts? Rick, You 659 00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:58.440 don't think he called timeouts? You don't think he called time Tell me at 660 00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:00.400 the end of the second quarter, when we went from twenty one points ahead 661 00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:04.000 to twelve, how long did it take him to call time out? How 662 00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:08.480 long did that lead lead to a vutbraad for But I'm in the car. 663 00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:14.639 Sometimes players got to figure it out on the court. This is Is this 664 00:51:14.760 --> 00:51:17.400 not an older veteran team? Do they not have James hard and Paul George? 665 00:51:17.559 --> 00:51:22.079 They can't figure it out twenty point leads. I'm looking at those guys 666 00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:24.800 before I'm looking at coach lou I'm sorry, I'm looking at the guys out 667 00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:29.679 there on the floor. Well, sure, I mean, obviously the Clippers 668 00:51:29.679 --> 00:51:31.679 don't need Paul George standing out there and dribbling through his legs for twenty seconds 669 00:51:31.679 --> 00:51:34.960 on the twenty four second clock. At this point, you would think he 670 00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:38.639 would understand he's fooling nobody. I get that. But but but a coach's 671 00:51:38.679 --> 00:51:43.639 responsibilities change up the offense, change up the defensive looks, go small, 672 00:51:43.719 --> 00:51:47.599 make a substitution, do something your team is stranding is suffering out there. 673 00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:52.079 Clearly they can't do it on their own, and that's what coaching. Coaching 674 00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:55.320 is for. And I haven't seen he had the same guys out there minus 675 00:51:55.400 --> 00:52:01.199 Kawhi Leonard that got them the lead. Like what changed all of a sudden. 676 00:52:01.239 --> 00:52:05.880 You're gonna have an overall with the offense that worked, with the defense 677 00:52:06.079 --> 00:52:08.840 that worked it. I don't know, Rick. I appreciate the phone. 678 00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:14.960 Phone. We can talk more about it on Thursday or Friday, but I 679 00:52:15.039 --> 00:52:16.000 want to get to Mark and Hunts and Beach before we get out of here. 680 00:52:16.039 --> 00:52:20.760 Mark quickly. Yeah, here's the thing. I kind of agree with 681 00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:23.760 the last caller. Yeah, the players have to execute. But bottom line 682 00:52:23.840 --> 00:52:28.760 is the coach calls the place if things aren't working. I saw him take 683 00:52:28.840 --> 00:52:31.840 way too many threes the players every time down. I'm sorry, that's not 684 00:52:32.639 --> 00:52:37.800 realistic, but you know, he's the one that can make the adjustments in 685 00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:42.239 the staff, and I didn't see enough adjustments if the players aren't playing the 686 00:52:42.239 --> 00:52:45.480 way he calls the player too in a row, then put someone else in 687 00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:50.199 that's going to do the play right. All right. I appreciate the phone 688 00:52:50.239 --> 00:52:54.599 call. There's blame to go around. I just think it's got to be 689 00:52:54.639 --> 00:52:59.800 on your stars. They're the ones who are most responsible on stuff like this 690 00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:04.599 happens because when things are going great, they're getting to love the praise. 691 00:53:06.119 --> 00:53:07.360 All right, Before we get out of here, let's get to Big Brother 692 00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:14.360 Jake Warner for some positivity.
