Coming up a lot of 11 00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:55.039 postgame audio from the head coach to Ron lou but not just that for the 12 00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:59.960 first time, coming on too, Clippers Talk. NBA calumnist for Forbes Sports 13 00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:04.359 Shane Young will be here. He does fantastic work he put together. I 14 00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:08.840 want to say it was a sixty five page season preview. It was the 15 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:15.439 definitive preview and I read every single page of it. It was that good. 16 00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.719 But you can close the book on the Clippers not being able to close 17 00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.359 games. You remember last year we went through this. They had some bumps 18 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:29.079 along the way to get into the Western Conference Finals, where really it was 19 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:34.120 before the All Star break and they struggled to get things done at the end 20 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:41.799 and fourth quarters. Well, tonight, they somehow withstood twenty two points from 21 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:47.519 Kyle Lowry in absolute flamethrower in the fourth quarter after you only had three points 22 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:53.040 through the first three quarters and nineteen points from Bam Auto Baio in the first 23 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:59.400 quarter, and they just win. They just find ways to win. Tonight 24 00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.799 it was a three point victory. They held on. They made big plays 25 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.959 when they had to. They hit their free throws down the stretch, Reggie 26 00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.840 Jackson some critical ones at the line, and Paul George when they needed him 27 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:15.080 most in the fourth quarter. He didn't just come up big on offense where 28 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.479 he had nine of its twenty seven. He had a steal on Kyle Lowry, 29 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.240 he drew an offensive foul, He stood up Bam on a bio at 30 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.520 the rim. Second time he's done this in the last week. Did the 31 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:32.000 same thing to Carl Anthony Towns. That's Paul George against two of the bigger 32 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:38.800 guys in the league somehow playing them straight up. He's been incredible. Hashtag 33 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:43.919 MBPG can't say it enough. He has made all the big plays for them. 34 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.360 That three pointer he hit off the offensive rebound in the fourth quarter was 35 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:52.199 critical. But so many guys to praise after a victory like this, and 36 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:57.759 somebody who has struggled overall this season back with the Clippers has been Eric Bledsoe. 37 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:01.639 With his shot, at least he helps establish that pace and tempo they're 38 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:07.319 looking for, and that's been big for them. But tonight he found his 39 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.360 shot. Had twenty one points, most points he's had since he had twenty 40 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:15.680 two in their Game one loss to the Golden State Warriors. But fourteen of 41 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.479 those twenty one points came in the second half, and there was balance. 42 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:21.719 Had seven of those in the third quarter, seven more early in the fourth 43 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.639 quarter, and the Clippers needed each in every one of those points. Their 44 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:30.479 offense was stalling out just a little bit, and he was hitting his jump 45 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.280 shots just two of six from three, but he had a couple of long 46 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.560 jumpers. The confidence was there, and we saw Monday night he played really 47 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.120 well and I want to say it was seven or six assists, and he 48 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.639 was setting up Hartenstein, who had another fantastic ball game, but the playmaking 49 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:52.400 for Eric bledsoe Monday night. The scoring from him tonight. Hartenstein also had 50 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.879 an impact, just two of four, but he had three offensive rebounds on 51 00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:01.439 the second quarter alone where he was just going in among the trees as he 52 00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.840 is one, but just flying in and shoving guys out of the way and 53 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:10.960 finding ways to get rebounds. Finished with seven and eighteen minutes, had six 54 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.079 points total. Hartenstein has been a godsend for this team. But that's what 55 00:04:15.079 --> 00:04:20.160 we used to say all last year with Nicholas Batoum Saint Nick and he had 56 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:25.560 two blocks, one on Tyler Hero the other in the fourth quarter on PJ. 57 00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.319 Tucker and then batted the ball away at the end with just a couple 58 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.959 of seconds remaining on the inbound pass by Miami. Nicholas Batoum has been one 59 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:38.879 of the backbones to this defensive effort we've seen from them all season long. 60 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.399 And don't get me wrong on Miami. They put up one on nine, 61 00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:46.279 but they got off to such a hot start in that fourth quarter where they 62 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.680 had a forty spot. They cooled off after that in fact, I got 63 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:56.079 to run the numbers during the break, but they're shooting completely fell off a 64 00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:00.120 cliff. They finished just nine of forty one from the outside. It is 65 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:05.079 that feeling out process with the Clippers. They just figure you out and they 66 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.319 can strict their defense. And on the other end, they got off to 67 00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.800 a slow start offensively, and that zone was giving them trouble at times, 68 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.879 as it does for many teams. Because at the Miami Heat are really well 69 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.639 coached, they play hard, they have a great culture there. There's somewhat 70 00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:23.360 of a mirror match going on between these two teams in terms of identity and 71 00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:28.399 establishing that culture, and Miami's had it for a few years. The Clippers 72 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.600 have had it now for a couple of years. But they were able to 73 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:39.639 play a little bit faster to beat the zone. And it was Luke Kennard 74 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.319 who at the end of the first quarter hit a bucket to make it forty 75 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.560 to twenty five. Clippers down by fifteen, down by as many as seventeen, 76 00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.240 they come back and win again. I mean they were down by twenty 77 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:54.439 in Minnesota. They win that game by twenty. They were down by fifteenth 78 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:57.759 to the Okay see thunder before that this is what they do. But Luke 79 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.839 Kennard at the end of the first quarter had a jumper that he hit and 80 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.040 then got hot. Early in the second he had I want to say, 81 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:11.079 six more points quickly, and guys were finding him in transition. They were 82 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:16.319 just pushing the ball with pace and that allowed them to get the Miami Heat 83 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:20.680 out of position defensively. It was huge. And that's a new wrinkle to 84 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.839 this Clippers team. They've been top five and pace all year long. They 85 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:29.279 were one of the slowest teams last year, and I think that's Eric Bledsoe 86 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:33.120 and guys listening to the head coach and how they need to play and want 87 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:40.519 to play, especially right now without Kawhi Leonard. But a brilliant performance by 88 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:44.759 a few different guys I talked about. Nicholas Batouma Betsa. Zubos has had 89 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.120 double doubles and three of his last four games now ever since Paul George told 90 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.279 him, you got to be that nasty guy on the inside and grab every 91 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:56.759 rebound. You can't let anyone else get your boards. And he finished with 92 00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:01.040 eighteen and eleven three offensive rebounds. He hit a couple of key buckets, 93 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:05.519 some tip ins, some lives that he caught, but also some Zoo al 94 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:12.720 cinder multiple baby hooks in this one for seven of his makes. He's skilled. 95 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.199 There was one point where he got blocked by Duncan Robinson in the fourth 96 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.240 quarter where I thought he should have thrown it down, and I'm not sure 97 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:23.680 if that's what Nicholas Batoum said to him. After the next possession, he 98 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:28.160 said something to him. But that was the only blemish really for Zoo all 99 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:32.480 night. Outside that outstanding Reggie Jackson doesn't score in the first half, has 100 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:38.560 fifteen points in the third quarter alone. He had half the Clippers points. 101 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:43.160 They scored thirty in the third he had fifteen of them. He would finish 102 00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:46.639 with twenty two, so had seven more points. Most of them came at 103 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:51.199 the free throw line in that fourth quarter. But Paul George is just so 104 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:56.480 steady for them when things were getting rocky, when it was down to a 105 00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.720 three point lead multiple times in the fourth it was Pete he making a play 106 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:05.720 on offense or on the defensive end. He has been at worst a top 107 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.720 three player in the NBA so far this season. He's been playing at that 108 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:15.639 level. He's been so good considering he does not have his running mate in 109 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.639 Kawhi Leonard. Doesn't even have Marcus Moors right now, who could be huge 110 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.959 for them when he returns. Sir Jebaca is getting his timing and rhythm back. 111 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.639 He was in the G League tonight. For them, Paul George has 112 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.480 been their leader on and off the court, and he's practicing what he preaches. 113 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.200 He's doing everything the little things out there, and when you're superstars, 114 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:39.039 do the little things, it inspires everybody else to play harder. If he's 115 00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.559 going to get on the floor for a loose ball, you got to. 116 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.639 If a guy like Paul George is doing that, just those little things that 117 00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.159 get you wins, you gotta do the same thing. He had three steals, 118 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.960 which is about his average, had five assists, twenty seven points, 119 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:58.120 four boars eleven or twenty five shooting again, didn't have a super hot shooting 120 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.559 night, but hit timely shots. Nine of us twenty seven points came in 121 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.000 the fourth quarter. All right, first phone call, Tagus in Walnut. 122 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.120 You're on Clippers stop with Adam Aslin. Tagus, what's up, hey, 123 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:15.279 Adam? Should we just start spotting the other teams? Like a fifteen point 124 00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.720 lead? So we can start the comeback process earlier. Hey, every time 125 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.240 it happens, I think to myself, the Clippers got him right where they 126 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.559 want him every time they get down big. And we've been saying this for 127 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:30.600 years, the comeback clips it's real. Yeah, I mean, it's just 128 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.200 is this unreal? It's just like, Okay, well, when to come 129 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:37.039 back in the start? But I think that comeback started in the second quarter 130 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:43.200 with Hartenstein and Luke Nard. I think they'll back to back threes that he 131 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.960 had really got them going. And Hardenstein was great in that second quarter especially. 132 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:52.519 He's been great in second quarters all season long. It makes sense because 133 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.720 that's normally when he has his largest amount of minute stint, but he takes 134 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:03.440 advantage of those minutes. He gives them just an instant Joe, instant energy 135 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.320 as soon as he gets out there. And that's so perfectly fitting with this 136 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.440 roster and what they need from him and what it means to be a Clipper 137 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:15.879 with the way he plays right. And I think in the second half, 138 00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.840 like you mentioned, Reggie picked it up, zoo Buck picked it up, 139 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.799 and the only thing that zoo Bug didn't do well was that one they play 140 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.879 you reference where he should have finished it. And there was another play after 141 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.759 that where I think Ledso fed him deep in the post and he couldn't finish 142 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.679 the lay up. I think those were the two things that he should have 143 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.799 finished would have put the game away. But overall, he did play really 144 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:43.600 well, and I think the biggest play of the game was our biggest coaching 145 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.080 coach where that Tyler did was that he I think with five or six minutes 146 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.720 left, I think after Lowry caught fire, he took out Luke Knard and 147 00:10:54.840 --> 00:11:01.279 put Bledso back in, and I think Lowry didn't score maybe one more three 148 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.440 pointer with the zoo bocks fell where he made that four point play. But 149 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.720 let let those defense. I know he's been struggling and taking a lot of 150 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.799 heat for his offense, but his defense pretty much throughout the year has been 151 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:18.440 pretty on point. He's guarding, you know, he can switch just like 152 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.679 Patrick Beverley, and I think you can see that his offense is coming around 153 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.519 a little bit. And I think that biggest coaching by Tyler right there that 154 00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.799 really saved the game in my opinion, from taking heat to taking out the 155 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.120 heat. Thank you for the phone call. I appreciate it. Tages we'll 156 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.000 talk to you on Saturday night, all right, yes, sure? Coming 157 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:45.399 up next here on Clippers Tuck after they win one twelve to one on nine 158 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.679 over the Miami Heat at Staples Censor. I think we have some postgame audio 159 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.360 from the head coach Ron Lou. I want to hear from him and credit 160 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.440 him always from making the right adjustments and not taking Eric Bledsoe out of the 161 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.559 starting line up when a lot of people were calling for that guy. Literally 162 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:09.600 calling here as well, because Bledsoe is starting to come around. This is 163 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:13.919 the last two games. Now, this is more than just signs of life. 164 00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:20.440 He looks to be in rhythm, and he's a career thirty four percent 165 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.039 shooter from the outside, so when he was shooting fifteen percent for a while. 166 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.159 While he's not a great shooter thirty four percent, it's below league average. 167 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.399 If he gets two there by the end of the year, that means 168 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.759 he's gonna have some hot streaks along the way too, because he's far below 169 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:39.240 where he normally is, so lave averages come into play.

Shane Young at Young NBA is where you 185 00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:03.519 can follow him on Twitter. He covers the Clippers for Forbes their sports department. 186 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.399 Now, I've not screened this call, but I'm pretty sure it's the 187 00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.840 same guy who just dropped a second ago. Is this Sean, Sean, 188 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:16.200 you're on Clippers Talk? Yeah, this is me Sean and Inglewood, my 189 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.240 guy, what's up? How about them Clippers? Eh? Thank you, 190 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.279 thank you for letting me win those tickets. Tonight was a wonderful game. 191 00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.000 I tried to look for you to say hello, but hey, I told 192 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.399 you you were going to a good one, did I not? Oh? 193 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.480 Yeah, you sure did. You sure did. And our boy Ready Jackson 194 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:39.559 pulled it out for it and Paul George had a good night and it was 195 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.679 a lot of fun tonight. I'm telling you, what was the atmosphere like 196 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.559 late there, Sean as I hope to get back soon because it was a 197 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:52.559 nail biter down the stretch. I mean that steal by Kyle Lowry. Luckily 198 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:54.960 Duncan Robinson, they caught him on the right nights. He's been in a 199 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.879 bit of a funk, but he and Tyler Hero really struggled from distance. 200 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.279 He had some open ones there, but you were hanging on a little bit 201 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.600 late. There was a closet one nipp and talk. You took the words 202 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:09.360 out of my mouth. I was about to say nail fighter, but I 203 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.720 was telling everybody sitting around me that the first half or the first quarter, 204 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:18.080 I said that shooting percentage did not stay like that, and it was gonna 205 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:22.480 come down and the Clippers are gonna win the game. I thought they blew 206 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:24.120 them out, but you know, they made a few mistakes in the fourth 207 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:30.080 quarter, but they covered it and came back. But the atmosphere was crazy. 208 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.960 Everybody was into it. And the Clippers do have a lot of loyal 209 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.279 fans me included, Yes, sir Sean loyal to Clippers talk as well. 210 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.600 Well, we'll talk again on Saturday, I presume, hopefully after the clippers 211 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:46.320 seventh straight victory. Yeah, I'll be at the game Sunday to see the 212 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:50.159 Bulls because I'm from Chicago. Bobby Root and put a Clipper. That's right, 213 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.480 they got their first. I want to say is at the first back 214 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:56.279 to back of the season coming up. That was Sean and Inglewood become a 215 00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.120 regular like Sean here on Clipper's Talk, and I want to hear from the 216 00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:03.840 head coach Toronto lou after the Clippers win one twelve to one on nine over 217 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:08.519 the Miami Heat. Here was coach lou post game, and this is coming 218 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:11.440 from Valley Sports. Break out of the slump. We'll not shooting slump. 219 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:14.799 But I mean, I know he's done everything for you guys, but what 220 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:15.960 is that? You know? Nick also talked about being able to score with 221 00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:18.559 PG going to the bench in the third quarter. Board what did you guys 222 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.240 kind of find with PG on that on that bench, you're able to increase 223 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:25.440 the lead. I think he was able to get stops, you know, 224 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:27.200 get out and transition a little bit. Like I said, I thought Bled 225 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:32.519 tours the pace. Luke makes some shots in that second quarter, but in 226 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:33.879 that third quarter, you know, PG was a little tired. We gotta 227 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.120 get him out early, and that group we had on the floor kind of 228 00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.120 increased to leave, so again it bought him more time. And like I 229 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:44.360 said, I was just a total, total team win. Like we did 230 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.720 a lot of great things. I thought Spold did a good job of just 231 00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:51.759 keeping with me. I'll balanced the zone man, zone zone, zone man, 232 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.559 and so we couldn't really been a lot of atls and he kind of 233 00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:00.159 kept us all balanced offensively, and then I heard our team offensively because we 234 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:02.240 were just trying to run something new. We put it in against his own 235 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:04.880 and the first half it was really the first quarter kind of got us behind 236 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:08.079 the eight ball, and after that we went back to our normal Zonne offense 237 00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:11.119 and it kind of helps. So that was on me, you know, 238 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.279 on that first quarter, quarter and a half or just you know, not 239 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:26.319 sticking to what we know right now any time. Not gonna say anything about 240 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.960 how many gray hairs, Uh you got after a game like this? None? 241 00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:34.160 I mean, I'm starting to get gray hairs alright? Got him? 242 00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:41.279 Man? Uh, You've had so many lineups where you've closed with one or 243 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.000 two of Kennard Terrence men. Uh, you went with I know you said 244 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.079 before you coached by field, you go with your line us by field, 245 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:52.599 Like, what was you feeling as far as closing with your starting lineup for 246 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.759 once this time? Just kind of go with whatever's working. And our team 247 00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.200 knows that they wouldn't have sacrifice to anything to win, and we just kind 248 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.720 of win for tonight and then we'll get ready for the next game when next 249 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:06.839 game comes. And you know, Bled had to go on tonight. You 250 00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:08.920 know, Big Zoo had a few around the rim that we could have kind 251 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:11.880 of you know, pulled away and kind of finished the game that you know, 252 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:14.799 he wanted back, you know, he was kind of you know mad 253 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.480 at the step at the end. We had I think up seven, up 254 00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:18.559 nine, he had like three lay up for dunks, so we didn't get 255 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.400 a chance to finish. So that was the right offensive play. That made 256 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.279 a good defensive play. But I thought our starts did a great job. 257 00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:30.079 I thought Buttso was really aggressive, made his open shots, he attacked down 258 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.759 hill, pushed the pace, and like I said, the only guy I 259 00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:36.960 know it's gonna finish the game is Paul George, you know. And uh, 260 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.640 outside of that, we just gotta you know, mix and match until 261 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:42.680 we've found a bit combinations in the game. And our guys and our and 262 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:45.880 our team they're great with that. You know, they wouldn't a sacrifice just 263 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:52.960 to win. There was Coach lou post game taking responsibility for what happened in 264 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.680 the first quarter with the Clipper for down by his million a seventeen, down 265 00:18:55.720 --> 00:19:00.359 by fifteen after one at forty to twenty five. But after the Miami Heat 266 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:06.000 and Coach Luke came back around and made all the key adjustments afterwards. After 267 00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:10.200 the Miami Heat, went seventeen of twenty five from the field in that first 268 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:15.920 quarter sixty eight percent shooting. Last three quarters they go twenty six of seventy 269 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:19.200 two. That's just thirty six percent. That Clippers defense set in and after 270 00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:23.720 hitting three of their first eight takes from the outside thirty eight percent, they 271 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:29.920 would hit just six of their next thirty three three pointers eighteen percent. Clippers 272 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:34.079 defense, it's been coming on strong as the game goes along. We saw 273 00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:37.960 it against tonight and they win their sixth straight. Coming up next, Shay 274 00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:41.119 Young. We'll join us here on Clippers Talk. We'll get back to your 275 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.079 phone calls.

Maybe Clippers win one twelve to one 283 00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:33.880 oh nine over the Miami Heat at Staples Center. Welcome back into Clippers Talk. 284 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.440 I'm at a mass into eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy 285 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:42.200 eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy. It is the Clippers sixth 286 00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:45.599 straight win, not one, not two. Hey, they were playing Miami. 287 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.400 I had to do it, low hanging fruit. I know coming up. 288 00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:52.119 We'll get back to your phone calls. But joining the show right now 289 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.319 is a man who covers the Clippers and has been doing it well for a 290 00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:02.079 long time. It covers them for the Forbes Sports Department, and like I 291 00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:07.960 said, he put together a sixty five page season preview. I read every 292 00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:12.880 single word on there because I love his work. It is Shane Young, 293 00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:18.680 our friend Shane Young at Young NBA on Twitter, where there was a moment 294 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:23.079 at one point where Shane was right about something and I was wrong. So 295 00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:29.319 Shane, this is for you. I'm stupid, you're smart, I was 296 00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:34.000 wrong, you were right. You're the best. I'm the worst. You're 297 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:40.160 very good looking. I'm not attractive. All right, We good, Shane. 298 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:44.480 We're totally good at him. Man, say you did not need to 299 00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:48.680 go that deep into I guess a generous introduction, but I appreciate you man 300 00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:52.440 always. Thanks for doing this tonight. So I get this question a lot 301 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.799 because the Clippers once again had to dig themselves out of a hole. They 302 00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.799 did that with the record earlier this season. They do that in games down 303 00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:04.240 twenty down, fifteen down, seventeen tonight. What is it about this group? 304 00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:07.400 It just seems like they find themselves once they're down, No, once 305 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.200 they get punched in the face, and then they luckily do land the final 306 00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.960 blow. Yeah, it's it's kind of hilarious that this has become the trademark 307 00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:21.200 of the team, that it's become their identity. And really, you look 308 00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:25.519 at last year and you know, other than the resiliency, I don't know 309 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:27.160 what you could say their identity was, but whether it was just that, 310 00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:30.799 you know, drive, pick, swing, generate open three type of offense. 311 00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:37.200 But it seems like Tylu isn't and still this this kind of I don't 312 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.599 know the identities of the ward. I keep going back to that they are 313 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:45.920 just built for getting better over the course of a forty eight minute game, 314 00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:52.200 and maybe that is the players that are adapting and realizing a you know, 315 00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:55.200 we're down thirteen, we're down fifteen, down nineteen, like we gotta get 316 00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:59.279 it together. Or whether it's the coaching staff that's like you you know, 317 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:02.559 making a usments on the fly. I kind of think it's a mixture of 318 00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:07.000 both, as it always is, but there's something about the coaching staff man 319 00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:11.759 that really seems to get the players to buy in, not just throughout a 320 00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:14.200 season. You hear that all the time, like, you know, we 321 00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:15.640 need to get you know, blood so to to buy in, and we 322 00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:18.640 need to get ready to buy in. Whatever the case is, I think 323 00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.599 it's throughout the course of a game they have something in their motivational tactics that 324 00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:27.440 whether it's it's play designs, whether it's just you know, motivational talk, 325 00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:32.279 I mean that they seem to like the spark. Shane Young is our guest 326 00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:36.000 here after the Clippers win one twelve to one on nine at Staples Center over 327 00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:41.079 the Miami Heat. You mentioned Eric Bledsoe buying in and his last two games. 328 00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.000 It's his best two games stretch. He had a really good game one 329 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:48.720 was good for at least the first half of Game two. But and some 330 00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:51.920 of it's of course understandable, Yes, he's back with his old team, 331 00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:55.160 the Clippers, but things done changed and he has to get acclimated and more 332 00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:57.680 familiar with these guys and his role out there. But it looks like he's 333 00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:02.000 starting to get more comfortable. What have you seen from Eric Bleds to the 334 00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:04.680 last couple of games? Now? Yeah, see, you know, I 335 00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:08.119 think there's a couple of games that, you know, before these last two 336 00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:12.240 that he was just Now I wouldn't say settling for threes because with him, 337 00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:15.079 I don't know if it's more so settling but just taking with the defense is 338 00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.359 going to allow, but just you know, taking too many of them. 339 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:23.759 I think whenever I think his burly, you know frame, he's able to 340 00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:29.279 get downhill at will get get downhill no matter who's in front of him. 341 00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:33.960 I feel like that there's no real defender unless you're talking about like a Ben 342 00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:37.720 Simmons type guy that's just so huge that's able to you know, deter him 343 00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.319 from getting into the lane. Hey, they call him mini Lebron for a 344 00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:45.240 reason, maybe even some mini Zion now after his last year with the Pelicans, 345 00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.599 Yeah, hey, maybe it's that. I mean, no, I 346 00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:53.279 think I think in New Orleans he just decided that he wasn't all into their 347 00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:57.960 offensive style and why drive to the paint if they're not even winning at a 348 00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:03.559 good rate anyways. I mean, yeah, at least with the Clippers, 349 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.000 he knows that once he breaks that first line defense, once he gets into 350 00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.720 like fourteen thirteenth feet territory, people are going to rotate over to him, 351 00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:15.519 and that's either going to be Isaiah Hartensteinn if he's the Dubos right there for 352 00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:18.519 a dump off, or you know, a shooter that's you know, that 353 00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.160 relocating to the wing. I think he has a really good connection with with 354 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.720 like that bench unit when he does have minutes alongside Luke and Terence and them. 355 00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:30.839 I really do like what I've seen from Blood. So it seems like 356 00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:36.000 we just got done listening to tylu talk about how you know the bloed has 357 00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:38.240 been kind of quiet on the floor and just kind of keeps to himself. 358 00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:41.759 But then PG gets up there and says that when you actually get him off 359 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:45.680 to the side and stuff, he's he's a lot more vocal and h he's 360 00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:49.599 a leader throughout the game, especially for their defense. So I think it 361 00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:55.359 all comes down to it. I'm like more reps with the team more reps 362 00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:59.559 in these games. I mean, the dude played forty minutes tonight. I 363 00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:03.240 mean, he's a workhorse. So it seems like the more time that he's 364 00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:06.000 going to be with the team, the better the results are going to be. 365 00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:08.480 There are still going to be some stinkers, because if you're not a 366 00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:14.039 good shooting guard, you're gonna have nights where you where you irritate the fan 367 00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:17.240 base, and the fan base WinCE you off the team because you can't make 368 00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:22.680 an open shot. But everything else I think should should culminate into being this 369 00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.759 positive impact player. Is Shane Young again. Follow him on Twitter at Young 370 00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:33.119 NBA Shane. We've been at the forefront of the PG can be a sixth 371 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.079 nine Steph Curry at times. We've been talking about this for a while. 372 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:38.519 A great minds they can alike, come on, I guess me you and 373 00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:42.920 Justin right Rousseau. Okay, Well, Paul George just three of nine from 374 00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:47.480 the outside. At least he did get up nine and it sounded like he 375 00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:52.039 was a little bit gassed also at a point in this game, but not 376 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.799 too much where he didn't give those effort plays late and those hustle plays aside 377 00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:00.400 from the nine points he had in the fourth quarter. But I said earlier, 378 00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:03.680 you know, he is playing like a top three player right now in 379 00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:07.519 the league. Where would you slot him? Did you do? You agree 380 00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:11.599 with that assessment? And I know I'm biased. You know, it's so 381 00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.920 it's so ridiculously hard to even like line out all the players and say, 382 00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:18.039 hey, this guy's won this. Guys two discuss three. But to me, 383 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:26.119 like like unequivocally the most impressive players considering their workload and considering what they're 384 00:27:26.119 --> 00:27:30.200 doing on both ends. This is gonna sound crazy because Stephes is not known 385 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.720 as a good defender, but he kind of is. I think Steph, 386 00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:38.039 k D and PG have been have been the guys that have stuck out the 387 00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:41.920 most to me. Whether you want to say that's the top three players right 388 00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.240 now, it's whatever. But I think those three, especially for Kadie not 389 00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:49.200 having Kyrie, they're hardened going through the struggles that he's going through, you 390 00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:53.000 know, offensively, not getting the falcols, PG carrying the workload. He 391 00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.319 is those three guys for sure. So I definitely agree with that assessment. 392 00:27:56.359 --> 00:28:00.400 And I don't know about you when it comes to pg uh in terms of 393 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.680 how you view his defense, especially this year, because he has so much 394 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:07.599 that he has to backpack. With Kawhi off the floor and Nico as the 395 00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.559 only other, you know, real impact wing out there, I guess you 396 00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:18.160 can count Terrence in there as well. But with pg's defense, I'm so 397 00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:25.839 ridiculously impressed with his attentativeness and his aggression. I mean, tonight goes up 398 00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:32.480 straight up with damn Autobio with what two minutes left in the games. Incredible. 399 00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:34.839 I mean I joked on Twitter that he got that from Roy Hibbert. 400 00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:38.960 They spent six or seven years together in Indian Netflix. It's like, it's 401 00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:44.480 just it's remarkable that he knows not to foul in that situation as well. 402 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.680 Yeah, the play against Carl Anthony Towns where he drew an offensive foul after 403 00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:52.880 it looked like he was foul and had the ball ripped away from him in 404 00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.519 Minnesota, and then earlier tonight also with Tyler Hero getting a piece of him 405 00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:00.000 on a baseline fade away. They don't call. He still hits it. 406 00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:04.799 He's been playing through all types of contact and not getting calls, and it 407 00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:07.960 just doesn't matter. He's gonna come up with big plays late and do those 408 00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:12.720 little things that's just so rare to see from a superstar somebody else I wanted 409 00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:17.759 to talk to you about. But Nicholas Batum, since you brought up Steph 410 00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:21.960 Curry, you know, he wanted to be in this role with the Clippers 411 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:25.759 where he was the Draymond Green type where he did those little things, and 412 00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:29.240 he had some some big things done in this game with some big blocks. 413 00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:32.920 Batumbo was out there, nick block Tom whatever you want to call him. 414 00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:37.839 But momentum changing defensive plays as well. Is it fair to say that defensively 415 00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:41.119 with them being this good early in the season, a lot of that is 416 00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:47.119 Nicholas Batum being the backbone of their defense right now? Absolutely it is. 417 00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:51.359 I'm actually writing a piece on Patum that's gonna drop tomorrow. Yeah, I 418 00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:53.279 was wanting to drop it tonight, but you don't have the content. Grind 419 00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:56.759 is if they're if they're on a back to back, you want to wait 420 00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:02.039 until the that's over with. Uh. Think to God, I thank God 421 00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:04.519 that he actually had a really solid game that I did not ruin that. 422 00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:10.279 But but in short, I do think that that he is one A to 423 00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:12.920 Pg's one bat And really, I mean, bloods can be thrown in this 424 00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:15.599 mix too, because at this point of attack defense, you know, he's 425 00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.519 not the biggest guy on the floor in terms of height. But but that's 426 00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:22.440 beside the point. Yeah, but but well, with PGI and Nico really 427 00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.920 just just saving the team. Whenever you don't have Surge, you don't have 428 00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:30.279 Marcus Morris, two positive impact defenders as well. So it's great to see 429 00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:37.759 that. I do think the tomb we might I would caution fans to not 430 00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:41.240 expect this level all year. I mean, the dude is getting up there 431 00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:45.359 in age. PG said a few minutes ago that that Nico does have a 432 00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.759 lot of miles on him despite not being like late into his thirties. He's 433 00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:55.599 still early thirties, but exactly like a lot of miles throughout his Olympic career 434 00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:57.759 as well, not just this year. So I think, you know, 435 00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:02.880 I was looking at a number you know that really that really stood out to 436 00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:06.160 me. You know, you see, you see the blocks, you see 437 00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:08.480 the steals with Niko, you see the good week side rotations. He knows 438 00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:15.200 where to be, but the opponents turnover percentage when he's on the floor is 439 00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:19.960 like seven percentage percentage points higher than when he's off the floor. So I 440 00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:23.759 know that's a fancy way of saying he causes a lot of turnovers, and 441 00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:27.119 I think that that is something. It doesn't necessarily have to be a steal 442 00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:30.799 that's recorded for him. It could be, you know, he could be 443 00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.359 in the right place at the right time and cause a turnover that's picked up 444 00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:37.839 by PG or someone else. I mean, I think that I think that 445 00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:41.039 he is just causing a lot of havoc on the defensive end, and that 446 00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:45.720 that's really not his physicality. To me, that is his IQ from being 447 00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:51.480 around for twelve thirteen plus years being in Portland, that system that they had 448 00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:53.799 pretty good defenses when he was there. So I do like what I'm seeing 449 00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:56.960 from Niko on that end. Shane. I can keep you on all night, 450 00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:00.720 man, but I know it's late on the East Coast. However, 451 00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:05.759 you must come on again, please, And everybody must read his columns for 452 00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:10.440 Forbes at Young NBA's where you find him on Twitter. Phenomenal work, Shane. 453 00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:14.599 I'm sorry we didn't do this earlier. Maybe I was too bitter because 454 00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:17.640 I was wrong. Who knows, but that our faults, man. But 455 00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:21.480 I'll tell you what when when I'm there and in a few weeks, we'll 456 00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:23.519 meet up and we'll do it. Wow, sounds good, my friend. 457 00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:27.839 I'll meet you in section one to eleven or wherever it is at Staples Center. 458 00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:30.359 I will be there back there as well. But thanks for doing this 459 00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:34.599 tonight. Okay, thanks you every good one man coming up next here on 460 00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:37.880 Clipper Stock.

They win one twelve to 469 00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:37.920 one on nine over the Miami Heat. Somehow they overcome a twenty two point 470 00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:43.160 fourth quarter from Kyle Lowry. Tip of the cap. What a performance by 471 00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:49.480 him after having just three points through the first three quarters. Beam Atabaio finishes 472 00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:54.200 with thirty had nineteen in the first quarter. The Clippers just play that constricting 473 00:33:54.319 --> 00:34:00.160 defense and they are suffocating late in games. Welcome back into the Clipper Stock. 474 00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:05.160 I'm aut Amslins eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the 475 00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:09.280 phone number I know. Despite those two guys going off, they played fabulous 476 00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:17.719 defense. Jose and Southgate. Jose, you're on Clipper Stock on the radio. 477 00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:22.199 Okay, here we go. You know the rules, Yes, sir 478 00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:23.679 Man, I would have the game of the day. I would have the 479 00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:28.320 game against Okay. See so I saw everyone bless you off. But today 480 00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:32.079 he came on. Can I just get a go Clipps go along with a 481 00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:38.239 red Gigi here clutch free throws, Reggie Jackson. Somebody had the safety glass 482 00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:42.000 a load in the stand, so did I. It was a team effort 483 00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:45.760 today. Man. The cherry on chalk was that battoon still at the end. 484 00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:47.679 If Man would have dunked it, the whole house would have win down 485 00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:53.480 at him. Let's go clip Brothers. Section one sent the team baby, 486 00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:59.239 let go Jose and Southgate. There. I just found some postgame audio. 487 00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:00.960 I want you to hear it because it's from Nicholas Patum here. He was 488 00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:06.519 post game as postgame press around Valley Sports. It's another game there. Defensively, 489 00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:10.280 I d just started to anticipate a little bit the play. No Kai, 490 00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:15.360 it was the guy on fire for them, so kind of figure that 491 00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:19.800 the play was for him. They put Tyler and Hero and Rubbin set on 492 00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:22.639 top. So I did the decoil. I mean, I don't know how 493 00:35:22.679 --> 00:35:27.320 I figured out that they got the open floor for larvae. So justticipate a 494 00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:30.079 lot of play. I think did it a couple of times, so just 495 00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:34.440 sweat it. Get us still. Wait, there were three point setting left, 496 00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:37.360 and you guys have your time out defensively talk about the situation, like 497 00:35:37.440 --> 00:35:43.199 what were you guys looking for? And we're y'all planning on fouling, Like 498 00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:45.880 what was the conversation? Huh yeah, I mean just switched on everything and 499 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:50.039 we got a small lineup, so, I mean, the two won't kill 500 00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:53.679 us, so we got to unite them and find a way to don't make 501 00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:58.000 them shoot at three so and deny them and they gat the ball, turl 502 00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:00.079 mat twelve found and get a stop And it's not really easy to file. 503 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:05.360 That happen just three seconds on the clock, So just find a way to 504 00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:09.400 make a play matters stop and we did it. Is there something that happens 505 00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:13.519 in the first five minutes where you kind of like are learning about a team 506 00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:15.599 or how is it that you guys are always just kind of getting down and 507 00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:19.119 the coming back. We can't avoid that. There's a game to be down 508 00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.480 fifteen and let the team score forty points every time, and that's kind of 509 00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:27.719 annoying. I get actually, So I gotta find a way to get better, 510 00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:30.199 to have better start and stop being in the bastuation before we work up 511 00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:35.400 and and get back. It's working so far, but you won't happen every 512 00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:39.079 time. So I'm gonna find a way to get better starts and keep believing. 513 00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:42.920 Is it that it's a bad start for you? Like are you just 514 00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:45.239 trying to learn that the team you're playing against? Like what I mean, 515 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:50.000 what had a go? We had a good start last game, So depending 516 00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:55.480 where you gotta avoid the top of stock a line never's Nicholas, but two 517 00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:04.239 you had six points, but three blocks emphatic block six boards and the play 518 00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:07.440 to seal it at the end. That's what we was talking about initially there. 519 00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:10.519 Clippers win one twelve to one on nine over the Miami Heat. They 520 00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:15.199 improved a seven and four after being one and four. That means they've won 521 00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:17.480 sixth straight. They'll try to make it seven. Saturday night back at Staples 522 00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:22.239 Center, they're taken on the Minnesota Detemberwolves for the third time already. You're 523 00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:28.519 good to see Patrick Beverly back there as well at Staples. Where do I 524 00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:31.280 go from here? Oh? Yeah, I thank people before we get out 525 00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:35.960 of here.
