WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:05.919 Parents man is pure on once again, he's Clippers Talk. I got calls 2 00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:11.640 on Clippers Talk. Immediate reaction and analysis to today's game. That's what he's 3 00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:17.480 capable of, hosted by your pre and post game boys of the LA Clippers. 4 00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:25.320 Adam Oslay Now, Philadelphia came into Los Angeles and didn't show the Clippers 5 00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.039 any further. That we love as they win once twenty two to ninety seven 6 00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:34.000 over your LA Clippers. Welcome into Clippers Stock. I'm Adam oslin to eight 7 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:38.119 six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six sixty nine eight seven two 8 00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.200 five seventy is the phone number coming up here on the show. You're gonna 9 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:46.679 hear from coach Loupo's game. Also hear from the players after their fifth straight 10 00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:51.520 loss, longest losing streak of the season for the Clippers, which is seven 11 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.880 games remaining before the play tournament. And yes, it looks like they are 12 00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.359 locked into that eighth seed and we'll be taking on either the the Timberwolves or 13 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:06.519 the Denver Nuggets in that first play in double elimination if you're the seventh or 14 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:11.400 eighth seed. But you want to see the Clippers being a little bit of 15 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.400 a better rhythm than this going into the postseason. Am I that concern? 16 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.640 No. We saw what happened at the end of last year against Houston and 17 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.439 an ok S towards the end of the end of the season, and we 18 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:29.200 saw what happened with the Clippers down OZ two against Dallas against the Utah Jazz. 19 00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.719 They have coach lou He makes the right adjustments. He gets things pointed 20 00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.319 back in the right direction quickly. One of those things has to be Luke 21 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.719 Nar who has struggled the last five games. It's no coincidence the Clippers have 22 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.120 lost five in a row with Luke Kennar shooting like this. He's seven up 23 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.760 twenty four from three his last five games. That's under thirty percent on the 24 00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:56.480 season. He's hitting forty five percent of his threes. Of players at that 25 00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.840 high of a volume from distance, he's at the very top. And we 26 00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:06.640 just watched him for the last ten fifteen minutes. Put him up post game, 27 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:13.400 not by himself and a ball boy. It was Isaiah Hartenstein who was 28 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.400 graven rebound, shagging balls and making passes to Lukennard and trying to get his 29 00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:21.080 teammate back in rhythm. Pretty cool, I can say, I've been to 30 00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:27.360 I don't know, two hundred three hundred games here at Staples Center post game. 31 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:31.080 Big brother Jake Warner has been to a couple of thousand. I've never 32 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:36.039 seen anything like that. I say Staples Center because I've been to more games 33 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:43.120 there Crypto dot Com Arena now, But I've never seen a teammate come out 34 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:50.680 here and try to get his fellow padre in rhythm like we just saw with 35 00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:55.879 Isaiah Hartenstein and uh Luke Nard. I've never seen that before. I've seen 36 00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.479 Landry Shammit come out and someone else on the t rating staff or an assistant 37 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.960 coach throw the ball over to him and try to get him in rhythm from 38 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.879 three when he was struggling. I've never seen a teammate do it like that 39 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:14.319 now. These two had a special connection early on in the preseason in training 40 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.360 camp. It was just there from the get go. We see it throughout 41 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.599 the year. But recently, Luke Nard, he just hasn't been putting up 42 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:24.759 the volume of shots were used to seeing. In fact, he took just 43 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:30.120 five in this one. Four of them were from distance, and he went 44 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:35.000 one of four. That one he hit was in the fourth quarter. Clippers 45 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.599 were down, big down by twenty eight. It felt similar to what we 46 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:40.680 saw against the Utah Jazz recently, where they were down by as many as 47 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:45.159 forty one and for the most part, for the full forty eight minutes, 48 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.120 they were out of the ball game. They were out of this one early. 49 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:53.120 It was thirty five to nineteen after the first quarter and the Clippers went 50 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:57.840 into those one of those offensive funks where they went three minutes and fifty seconds 51 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:02.319 without scoring. And against the Philadelphia seventy six ers team like this with some 52 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:08.479 prolific scorers the possible MVP and Joe lmbiid, and they had just added a 53 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:13.599 former one in James Harden, they can bury you in a hurry. And 54 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.160 as bad as the Clippers were from distance eight of twenty five as a team, 55 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:21.959 Philly was fifteen to thirty five in the last four games coming into this 56 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:28.759 one, and that was the previous longest losing streak of the season four straight. 57 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:30.759 Now it's five. But during those four coming into this one, the 58 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:35.439 Clippers were shooting just thirty three percent from the outside. They went from being 59 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:40.800 just about a top five three point shooting team on the season to being a 60 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:46.959 bottom five team. No coincidence there either there's a connection. This team relies 61 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:51.800 on the three ball, as many do now, but it's a symptom of 62 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:56.920 when they're playing their best basketball, because when they're hitting threes, typically they're 63 00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.240 getting open threes, they're making the extra pass, they're getting a lot of 64 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.720 assists that way, and they just haven't done enough of that offensively during this 65 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:10.399 five game losing streak. I'll say this, the effort was better overall than 66 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:15.439 it was in Utah and weren't down forty one, and I thought it was 67 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.680 some tough breaks that went against the Clippers tonight, but they had some really 68 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:25.639 bad turnovers early on that were sloppy, careless misques that I think got the 69 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:30.399 Philadelphia seventy six ers in rhythm early. And you don't need to help a 70 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.759 team like this, a team that's top three in the Eastern Conference. You 71 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:39.680 give the ball away early, you make offense easy for them, where the 72 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:45.399 Clipperers gave them two fast break dunks in the first four minutes and it's just 73 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:51.079 snowball from there. And that can happen against a team with a dynamic duo 74 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:56.480 with James Harden and Joe l Embiid and I thought Tobias Harris, our old 75 00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.439 friend, played very well, taking advantage of miss matches when every other smaller 76 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:05.040 man on him went right at Reggie Jackson, he ended up with and he 77 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.959 didn't play big minutes, just twenty four, but he had twelve points. 78 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:13.160 Nobody really did. Joel Embie got his twenty seven and ten in just twenty 79 00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.360 seven minutes. James Harden played thirty four, had twenty nine, but he 80 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:20.360 had twenty five at the half, fifteen of those coming in the second quarter. 81 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:26.480 And once again, the Clippers could not close quarters all night long, 82 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.600 and the first quarter to buy his Harris hit a three pointer to end it, 83 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.639 and the second quarter, after the Clippers started to find their offense a 84 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:39.920 little bit, Philadelphia closed that out well and they were up by twenty one 85 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:44.079 at a half. And then James Harden, who again had twenty five at 86 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.759 the half, he only had two points in that third quarter and Philly somehow 87 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:54.279 extended their lead to twenty two heading into the fourth. Maxie hit some big 88 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:59.639 shots for them. Thy Bowl hit a three pointer. He only shoots thirty 89 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:03.120 three per sent on the season. It felt like Philly just couldn't miss, 90 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:09.480 similar to what we saw in Denver. They shot fifty percent from three Tuesday 91 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.319 night against the Clippers, but the Clippers were in that game down two with 92 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.959 about three minutes left. Tonight, they didn't make enough noise. They had 93 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.360 it to within ten, I want to say, at one point the third 94 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:27.519 quarter, but then Philly stepped on the gas once again and they left the 95 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:31.199 Clippers in the rearview. Clippers lose one twenty two to ninety seven eight six 96 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:35.160 six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five 97 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:40.839 seventy is the phone number, Jack and Santa Monica, Zack your first up 98 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.000 tonight on Clippers Talk. How are you? Yeah, I just have a 99 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:48.959 question. One two, three six Ers from ten nine. All right, 100 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.680 a barely. The Sixers just won the championship for the first time in forty 101 00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:01.240 years. Look, so the winner go the Spoils. And I've probably had 102 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.000 some prank calls coming my way at some point after you know what, I'm 103 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.319 not going to get into that tonight. Let's get to a Clippers call. 104 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:11.279 Though. I know Tom in Hollywood. I pray Tom in Hollywood. I 105 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:18.079 know you're a part of Clipper Nation, right, I promise that I am. 106 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.120 Yeah, I just wanted to talk actually a little bit about the sort 107 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:28.959 of post deadline, post All Star break kind of vibes and mood of the 108 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:33.399 team, because it feels like since we let Ledsoe go though an incredible trade 109 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.879 and I agree with most of the move, it feels like there's not as 110 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.080 much of a spark and an energy in the second unit. I feel like 111 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:48.440 he was really an underrated player for us, and it feels like the way 112 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.679 in which he ignited a lot of those comeback, both on the defensive end 113 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.639 and putting pressure on the offensive end, has been kind of missing from this 114 00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:03.440 squad system. Well, we love Eric Bledsoe was a Clipper twice around, 115 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.759 but you make that move every time to bring in Norman Powell and Robert Covington. 116 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:15.279 I remember Norman Powell and played three games and then got hurt. Hopefully 117 00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:16.759 he's on the mend. He's out of the walking boot. He was doing 118 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:22.759 some shooting at practice the other day. But they started four and oh out 119 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.279 of the All Star break. They started off hot. Outside of this five 120 00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.720 game skid, they were playing some really good basketball. I don't know if 121 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.279 that's the issue. I think I just think like the big win streak that 122 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.960 we had was essentially against just the Rockets and the Lakers, and then as 123 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.000 soon as we started to hit better opponents is when we really started to kind 124 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:48.399 of lose our rhythm. It's the other side. Some of that is fair. 125 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.840 I'm just not sure it's a bench unit issue. I think it's an 126 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.639 injury issue. I think it's a taxing issue on guys who aren't used to 127 00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.639 having this level of workload with Mark Morris, with Reggie Jackson. And I 128 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:07.039 appreciate the phone called time I do, but I think I think they did 129 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.919 the right thing obviously making that move, and it's gonna pay dividends down the 130 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.759 line when Norman Powell can come back. We saw a glimpse of what he 131 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:22.039 can do. He's special. If you watched him with Portland, this guy 132 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:26.679 is your third option offensively. His ability to get to the basket as a 133 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:33.039 slasher is really underrated. And he's someone who, like Kawhi Leonard, kind 134 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.120 of started slow offensively in his career and you know him from UCLA and the 135 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:45.440 Bruins failed to North Carolina to night, but he started off slow offensively and 136 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:50.279 he made his impact as a defensive player with the Toronto Raptors and that defense 137 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.600 remains. So he's another two way player for this Clippers team, which is 138 00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:00.679 imperative and crazy with the versatility they're gonna have in the different lineups they can 139 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:05.919 throw at teams. I've never seen a team lean into versatility like this, 140 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.480 but it makes sense because this is where the modern NBA is going, the 141 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:16.519 switchability where you have multiple guys who can guard one through five. And I'm 142 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.799 not saying Norm Powell's gonna be guarding pigs, but he can guard one through 143 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:28.080 three effectively. He's long plays, tenacious defense, pick of Destiny's style. 144 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:35.799 He is great on that end. And yeah, Eric bledsoe good clipper and 145 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.480 I thought he did some really good things and had some unfair criticism go his 146 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:43.159 way this season, so I appreciate the phone call and showing him some love. 147 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.039 I know Justice Winslow is playing some good basketball also with the Portland Trail 148 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:52.559 Blazers right now, but getting Norm Powell and Robert Covington, who continues to 149 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.320 impress as a Clipper. And he was missed for i want to say, 150 00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:01.960 five games for personal reasons, and that was a big loss when you're down 151 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:09.840 this many guys already everybody becomes critical to the cause. Now, hopefully the 152 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:16.559 Calvary's on the way. We'll see coming up if coach lou gives a status 153 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.759 update on Paul George, who obviously practiced for the first time a couple of 154 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:26.399 days ago since December. But also we watched him shoot around in pregame warmups. 155 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:30.960 He looked good. He looked like Paul George to me, but it's 156 00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:35.440 different in game reps. You can't replicate them. So we'll see if the 157 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.399 Clippers have some help coming on the way, We'll take a quick time out, 158 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.639 we'll come back. We'll get to that postgame audio. Clippers fall once 159 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:48.759 twenty two to ninety seven.

But first let's get out to Colin in La Colin. 168 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:43.919 You're on Clipper stock without on Moslam. What's up, Figure Adam. I 169 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:50.519 just want to give a quick shout out to Tylu. Fantastic coach. The 170 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.039 way he runs the players, the way he operates them and gets them fired 171 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.919 up, it's absolutely uh inspiring. It's really good. It's great. If 172 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:03.679 you're a leader out there, you should follow that. But more importantly, 173 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:11.039 I want to talk about Kauai and Paul George. And I know they're hurt. 174 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:15.399 I know things are happening in the Clippers nation that we don't like to 175 00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:20.519 happen. I'm just wondering if, if what Kauai does, how how much 176 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:26.840 he takes care of himself rather than taking care of the Clippers per se. 177 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.200 I know Paul George is hurt, but that man is a thermonuclear warrior and 178 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.919 we'll fight through any injury to make it happen for his team, you know. 179 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.720 And I just don't see that same fire coming out of Kauai. There 180 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.879 are you looked in his eyes? Do you say something to you? How 181 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:46.480 do you How do you judge how much fire he has? He didn't have 182 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.039 the game phase. He didn't like it. I don't know. I just 183 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.480 I know. I know what battling through injury is like personally, and I 184 00:14:54.559 --> 00:15:01.759 know that sometimes you feel eighty five percent and it called back. He's coming 185 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:05.799 back from an ACL and he's your franchise player. You really want him to 186 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:11.480 come back too soon, you know. I don't know. I think I 187 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:13.879 think he's saving himself for the future. That's what I think. I think 188 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:18.720 he needs to buckle down. He needs to buckle down like Paul George does. 189 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:24.559 Colin. I appreciate the phone call. I've seen Kawhi Leonard play with 190 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:30.600 a dinged up knee throughout the playoffs in twenty nineteen on his way to winning 191 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:35.159 Finals MVP once again, this time for the Toronto Raptors. I've seen him 192 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.879 play through pain in the biggest moments. We're talking about an ACL here. 193 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:46.399 It's a significant injury. If he can come back, he will. I'm 194 00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.960 confident with that. This is someone who already took less money then he would 195 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.639 have made this offseason. If he had waited, he was still under contract 196 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.879 for one more year. He opted out. He wanted to secure some money. 197 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.679 Why because he said, I want to play. If I have money 198 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:08.360 secure, I don't have to worry as much if something else happens. That's 199 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:14.440 what he was getting at. All right, Kawhi Leonard's a warrior two and 200 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:18.720 Paul George, both of them not a warrior. Golden step here with your 201 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:25.320 Los Angeles Clippers. These guys are tough superstars and they want to get back 202 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:29.519 out there. This is what they do, this is what they were born 203 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:37.679 to do. Let's go to sid In La said, what's up, yo? 204 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.559 I'm honestly Pete bro I just walked out into the game and Reggie Jackna 205 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:48.440 had what one, two, three, four five? All Right, you 206 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:51.639 know you get a new name on Clippers talk and you start to wonder, 207 00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:59.759 said the kid. Certainly acting like one right now. Clippers fall once twenty 208 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:04.079 two to ninety seven to the Philadelphia seventy six ers, and yes, their 209 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:10.240 fan base runs deep. They were here against the Lakers on Wednesday. They 210 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:15.240 showed up in full force tonight against your Los Angeles Clippers, who had an 211 00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:21.240 uncharacteristically bad off shooting night and they lose big. They were down by as 212 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:23.079 many as twenty eight. We'll take a quick time out, We'll come back. 213 00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:29.240 We'll hear from the head coach into Ron Lou. You're listening to Clippers 214 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:33.519 stock here on the M five seventy l A sports. Y'all know me, 215 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.400 still the same o che but A been loki by most of these cheese. 216 00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:45.920 No LA Clippers basketball continue, same time shot down the stretch. This is 217 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:56.200 the official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. West side. Still the best 218 00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:00.599 side. But the Clippers fall to the Philadelphia seventy six or tonight one twenty 219 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.319 two to ninety seven. Oh, come back in the Clippers stock. I'm 220 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.599 at a Moslin eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six sixty 221 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:12.759 nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number coming up. We're still 222 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:15.519 looking for player audio, but right now I want to hear from the head 223 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:19.200 coach and Toehronto Lou post game after this one for like a better word is 224 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:22.559 is this team just kind of running out of gas right now? He looks 225 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.880 like it, don't there now? Yeah, it looks like it a little 226 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:30.880 bit Yeah, it's like a team missing it's three primary scores. He has 227 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.920 been tough on us as of late, but you know, we can't feel 228 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:36.559 sorry for ourselves, and you know, I just gotta keep, you know, 229 00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:38.839 plugging away. You know who's over match tonight. You know that's a 230 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:44.279 good team over there. And take them away from those guys and you know 231 00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:48.359 they play well, and considering what happened in Philly, they had on their 232 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:51.640 mind that they wanted to come and prove a point and so they play well. 233 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:53.519 We didn't play our best game. You know, Marcus and Reggie struggled 234 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.359 for us a little bit tonight, which hurts us. You know, if 235 00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.759 they're not scoring a basketball, and like I said, mess about it. 236 00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:04.480 Here said the talk of the locker room was just keeping your spirit tie. 237 00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:07.960 Yeah, is it a little tough to do that with Utah, Chicago, 238 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:10.559 Milwaukee coming out the tough stretch for us. You know, we've been through 239 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.720 it before. We had seven games where it looked like it was it was 240 00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:17.079 gonna be tough to win. We won four out of seven, so we 241 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:19.119 still got a chance, like I said, chances to continue to play well. 242 00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:22.359 We got our guys some rest tonight, so we gotta be ready to 243 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:26.319 bump the guys minutes up starting on Tuesday and getting ready for this last little 244 00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.920 plush. So when Marcut's not playing the second half, Nico limitted minutes, 245 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:34.559 got Reggie out. Now we gotta start be able to push our guys forward 246 00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:40.200 their minutes starting on Tuesday. Uh, for a lack of a better phrase, 247 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:41.319 I mean, while you guys that get blown out, like, is 248 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:45.960 that the positive is Marcus only played for fifteen minutes, Reggie was at twenty 249 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:48.759 seven, Nico twenty two. Yeah, I mean that's you kind of just 250 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:51.079 take it out as the positive, like you're still able to keep their minutes 251 00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:52.920 down. You didn't get the result you want it. Yeah, but we've 252 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.160 we've been doing it the last six seven games, just trying to keep their 253 00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.240 minutes down and knowing this this last stretch starting with Utah, that we gotta 254 00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.680 start picking them minutes up, getting ready for the playing and you know, 255 00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.279 hopefully the playoffs. So guys have gotten the arrest, you know, we 256 00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:10.039 got three days off going into the next game, so they can get more 257 00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:12.200 arrest and then you know, we got to crank it up, and so 258 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:15.319 they had it going. It was a tough game. You know, we 259 00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.039 had some chances to kind of cut the lead a couple of time, we 260 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:22.279 got some some rebounds with steals, and then we turned the ball back over, 261 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:23.839 didn't make the right play, and then a game just kind of got 262 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.680 away from us. And like I said, they they played well. When 263 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.799 a game does get away from me like this, say, a hard to 264 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:33.359 kind of find those silver linings, Uh, yeah, it is. I 265 00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.279 mean, you know, it was a matchup problem for us all night, 266 00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.119 and we understood that. But just offensively, you know, I thought we 267 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:44.720 got some good shots early and we just didn't knock. We just didn't make 268 00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:47.880 them, you know. And so when Reggie and Marcus getting their shots and 269 00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:49.359 they're not they're not going down, like I said, it's hard for us 270 00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:52.640 to win. And that's you know, it sucks cause if it's puts a 271 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:55.160 lot of pressure on those two guys to to be able to score, which 272 00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:56.839 they've been doing for us throughout the course of the year, and just you 273 00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:00.640 know, tonight, it was a tough night for those guys. Offensively tired, 274 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.559 Look, Luke headed right back out to the court to do some shooting 275 00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:08.319 with Isaiah. How was he doing? Like is he is he Is he 276 00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:11.279 healthy? Is he is he just like you know, it could be a 277 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:14.720 little tired, you know. I think it's you know, worn down, 278 00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:17.720 especially the way he has to play and come up with a lot of screens, 279 00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:22.160 constant movement and you know him and Reggie and team man, they they 280 00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:25.519 lead a team in minutes, I think. So you know, we gotta 281 00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:27.880 be smart for him making sure we can continue to you know, try to 282 00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:30.079 get his minutes down like we tried too in Utah. But he wanted to 283 00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.039 play in that second half. But we gotta be smart because you know, 284 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.559 he's gonna need some rest to make sure he's fresh as well. So hopefully 285 00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:38.599 he's three days he can can help him out. But you know, going 286 00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:41.880 forward, teams are trying to take him out, you know, and so 287 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:44.680 he's not scoring in that second unit, it's hard for us to score the 288 00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:48.839 basketball. And you know, when he asked chances to take those shots he 289 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:49.880 got, you know, open shots. He has to take those shots like 290 00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:52.599 because the way they're playing, you're not gonna get too many of them, 291 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.400 so just continue. Its a learning process for him having to find, you 292 00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:59.839 know, deal with his teams with double team and when he come off screens 293 00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:03.519 and they're physical putting their best defenders on the second unit on him. So 294 00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.680 this is a good learning experience for him. There was Coach Lupo's game after 295 00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:11.319 the Clippers lose one twenty two to ninety seven. Here from Crypto dot com 296 00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.119 arena. This is Clippers tuck I'm out of Oslin after they fall to the 297 00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.000 Philadelphia seventy six years trailed by as many as twenty eight in this one, 298 00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:23.799 and coach lu said it. Philly did not forget about the Clippers coming back 299 00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:30.640 down twenty four on them and embarrassing them back on their home court earlier this 300 00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.480 season. They were out to prove a point. Now, the good news 301 00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:37.039 is the Clippers have three days off and some of these vets who struggled, 302 00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:45.640 like Marcus and Reggie who combined to go five for twenty two and both of 303 00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:49.240 them started oh of six before they hit their first bucket. They're so crucial 304 00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:55.000 for this team right now, without Kauhi, without PG, without Norman Powell. 305 00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:59.440 When those two don't have it going, it's typically a tough night for 306 00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:03.279 the Clippers to recover from that. It just is but a lot spit on 307 00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:08.039 their plate, and the Clippers do have three days off, so hopefully actually 308 00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:11.799 there is some rest for the weary. Here Clippers fall one twenty two to 309 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.440 ninety seven. Coming back, we're looking for postgame audio from a player. 310 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:21.119 I'm out of moslind and you're listening to Clipper stock here on AM five seven. 311 00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:23.640 LA sports all my life. I've been grinding in all my life. 312 00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:29.720 I'm married Teddy's guy. That's why i made My wife said that she's probably 313 00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:36.279 right. LA. Clippers basketball continue safe time shot down the stretch. This 314 00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:44.079 is the official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. Clippers lose their fifth straight, 315 00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:48.680 this time to the Philadelphia seventy six ers. You're in downtown Los Angeles. 316 00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:55.119 They fall once twenty two to ninety seven, and then they're worth seven 317 00:23:55.200 --> 00:24:00.680 games left starting Tuesday night right back here against the Utah Jazz. As But 318 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.839 you heard the schedule in our last segment. It was brought up to Coach 319 00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:11.240 Lou The grind is real. They had the Utah Jazz, the Chicago Bulls, 320 00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:15.720 the Milwaukee Bucks, the Pelicans, the Suns, and then the Kings 321 00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:21.799 and the Thunder to close out the regular season. To close out the show, 322 00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:26.200 it's good to Jose and South Gate, though, Jose, what's up 323 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.279 here on Clippers talk about him? You know, I had the playsure being 324 00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:34.440 at the game today, you could tell him out voice. Yeah, he 325 00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.880 said we shot like forty percent, but it looked like we shot fifty percent. 326 00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:41.559 I don't know if it was a good loss or a bad loss. 327 00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:45.599 I don't know what sayings. They know that we're in the eighth spot. 328 00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:48.599 They're kind of playing like it. But I'd like to hear that Luke was 329 00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.279 out there because after the game games some shots up against you did look a 330 00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:55.440 little activity to during the game, So I like, I know if you 331 00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:57.720 don't know what's said, if the coach believes in his team, he believes 332 00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:00.279 in his team. And if believe in the team, now we should be 333 00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:04.519 in a team. So you already know me, Adam flap dog Clipper, 334 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.559 you're ge damn right.
