Time for a postgame. Look, it's your LA Clippers. This is Clippers
Locker Road, brought to you by Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of
the LA Clippers, and by Patschonga, official travel casino of the LA Clippers.
Breaking down today's action with the pre and post game voice. If you're
La Clippers, They're locking in every game, every night. Adam Oslan,
the comeback Clips are officially back. They were down seventy to forty eight and
they overcome a twenty two point Golden State Warriors lead. They come back to
win one thirteen to one twelve on a three pointer from Paul George Late.
What a victory, Clipper Nation. Welcome into your postgame show. I'm ad
a Moslin coming up. We will have Clippers Talk eight six six nine eight
seven two five seventy eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy. But
first back to Crypto with Carlo Jmenez. Carlo, what a call with that
three point dagger from PG thirteen late the eventual game winner, and what a
comeback by this Clippers team. I'm reminded of a twenty two point comeback.
I believe it was against the Atlanta Hawks, where Nicholas Patooma a couple of
seasons ago said something was born out of this. Let's hope the same happens
with this Clippers come back. Are you kidding me? Adam Ostlin, Are
you kidding me? What a game by this Clippers team. They're resolved down
by twenty two in the third quarter, and to come all the way back
and to do it with the big three Kawhi PG, James Harden, they
combined for sixty six points. I mean, it was just a twitch was
flipped to start the ballgame in the second half. Whatever Tylu said in the
locker room, those guys took the heart and heart is what they showed throughout
that second half. They were never out. Padjemski hit it late, couple
buckets, They kept Curry quiet. Steph was seven for eighteen for night,
and I think he only scored five or six points in that second half.
At him. That was fun. And if that team can play like that
the rest of the way, good luck to the rest of the NBA.
And it took everybody Kawhi, Leonard late, Paul George of course, but
James Harden was huge late in the ballgame. Danielle Tice and the way he
played and coach Lou going small so they could have that switchability late defensively,
it worked, it did. Out of Ozland, Clippers seemed to find something
with the rotations. Kylu was an excellent and making adjustments. The Warriors were
beating up the Clippers throughout that first half, and the Cairo practor who's had
his chest matches against Steve Kerr boy, he won this one in the second
half. Clippers next game is coming up not till Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets,
and I say, we hope something was born out of this comeback,
because you don't know till they played for another couple of weeks here. But
this was a classic Clippers victory in the two to one three air where,
yes, on an afternoon matinee madness type of game, they get down early,
but they continued to fight. And I like that word you use,
resolve. They showed it in this one. Carlo. Yeah, it was
a game where it was a gut check. Let's be honest. I mean,
you're playing the same team last time you played him. It was a
back to back, so you had a little bit of tired legs you're coming
into this one on a matinee. I mean, there's all the excuses in
the world, but this Clipper team fought back. They showed the heart and
the hustle, the defensive focus. They didn't allow a lot of easy points
for Golden State, and at the end of the day, they earned themselves
a victory. And Draymond Green comes back down to earth after hitting four fourth
quarter threes. He was wide open in the left corner and he hit the
front of the rim and the Clippers survived. They led at him for eight
point nine seconds tonight and they come away with a win. Did Curtis Jackson
have that for you? Because I like him pulling double duty in this one.
He may be the good luck charm. Come on, Curtis. Curtis
doing all the work today. Check out the pod rap Nerds. Also big
brother Jake Warna shout out all the podcasts after this one. Podcast pe with
the game winner late for the Clippers. They win one thirteen to one twelve
over the Golden State Warriors when they were down by twenty two. Carlo,
I say it and I always mean it, but especially on a game like
this, my friend, what a call on the Paul George step back three.
We're gonna be playing that all week. Appreciate Adam, thank you,
and I can't wait to see you here Wednesday. Let's keep it going.
It doesn't get much easier defending NBA champsonown. The Clippers pulled it off.
Can this be the turning point of the season. Down twenty two to Golden
State, they win one thirteen to one to twelve and PG thirteen coming through
late. You're listening to your postgame locker room show. I'm out of moslind
and this is the LA Clippers Audio Network. Floading Clippers, fully loaded Clippers
fans. This is LA Clippers basketball. You're listening to the LA Clippers on
the LA Clippers Audio Network. The Clippers were down twenty two. They come
back to win one thirteen to one twelve at home over the Golden State Warriors.
Welcome into your postgame locker room show. I'm in a Mosland Whoo.
What a ball game? Paul George sticks the step back three over Clay Thompson
to win it. Let's get to your second half highlights. In the third
quarter, it was James Harden who really started things off in the third just
doing damage, knocking down threes, getting to the free throw line to take
three free throws, and was also getting to the basket. Do we got
some James Harden highlights? I want them from you, Katie, because he
deserves some respect after this second half comeback the beer shovels. Clendard at the
top working on sorry crust or left hand double team coming fine hard and open
left corner three the South Boks. James rimsisted. Here comes Harden leading the
break down broadway, left ended layup off the window at home. Leonard at
the top, but Gemskey almost took it away. Leonard takes it right back.
Harden open left wing, three bottoms, James Harden takes three back.
Here come the Clippers. Harden in the front cord. He waves his right
arm, says, come on, guys, we're going for a run.
Harden down the lane, left handed, layup up and in fifteen in the
frame for James. He's an archer. James Harden with those fifteen points in
the third quarter, and that twenty two point lead was down to just a
seven point lead entering the fourth, but the Clippers would get down by ten.
But that's when the two to one three connection. That's when your superstars
have to take over. And it started with Kawhi Leonard. Leonard bounds past
Harden on the far wing one on one with a rookie p Jemesky lob Leonard
left fended layer. What a pass from Harden. He's got eight assists,
Harden, it's left wing. It's fine's Leonard far wing pump fikes and three.
He takes the baseline, pulls up anton x one point four. Leonard
gribbles with the right hand. Hawaii just hit a big bucket. Here's the
corner round a pal stree down the right alley with they just shoot stop stops
cutext Gohi again, back to back buckets to George and the paint shovels.
Leonard right block layup goes thirty five seconds left, Clippers with a beauty.
Clippers still down late. What a play call though by coach Lou there to
get Kawhi that easy layup to bring it to within one. The Clippers then
would get a stop on the other end as they held the Golden State Warriors
to just twenty points in that fourth quarter, and then it was Paul George
no time out after the stop. Coach lou let him play and this is
the shot. They got Clippers down by two. George with ten borrowings step
back, three dime on Flippers lad for the first time today with nine seconds
left, one thirteen, one, twelve, time out, Steve Perr,
are you kidding me? Down to Paul? George drops eleven points in the
fourth quarter, but none bigger than that shop shot on Klay Thompson with nine
point two seconds left, As Carlo Jimenez said, the Clippers needed one more
stop and the guy who hit the first bucket of the ball game, Draymond,
who has been shooting forty six percent from the outside on the season,
misses a three pointer. The Clippers complete the twenty two point comeback at home
against the Golden State Warriors. They go on to win one thirteen to one.
Twelve. More highlights, more postgame coming up. We got Clippers talk

how you complete a comeback. The Clippers were down seventy to forty eight early

from Paul George one thirteen to one to twelve at home over the Golden State
Warriors. Welcome into Clippers Talk. I'm Ada Moslin eight six six nine eight
seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy after the
Clippers best second half of the season. I'll tell you that much coming up,
we'll still have will Updyke join the show. You'll hear from coach Lou
and Paul George postgame after he stuck a three pointer, not just a Clippers
comeback, appalled George comeback performance after he had been struggling in the last three
games. My player to watch coming into this one. Knew he would have
to come up big, didn't know exactly would be like that. What a
performance late in the fourth quarter, went four of six from the field,
had eleven points and a three pointer down two to get the Clippers to the
victory. As Raymond Green would miss on the other end when he came when
he started off the ball game hitting four to three pointers in the first quarter,
and I was shaking my head, going maybe it's just not the Clippers
night. Maybe it's just not the Clippers year. Maybe though this type of
victory can turn the tide. Yeah, there's still a game under five hundred,
but they got three days off and then they'll welcome in the Denver Nuggets,
and if they can slay that dragon, I'm deaf gonna be pounding my
chest and saying something was born out of this comeback victory. The Clippers may
have found their identity. They may have found that spark whatever it's been missing
when they get down and I don't like it. Don't get me wrong,
I said last Saturday when they were down twenty one to the New Orleans Pelicans.
They can't keep doing this. But if they've had an identity in the
two pin to three era, it's been the resiliency, the resolve, the
ability to come back. Nobody's had more twenty point comebacks over the last five
seasons than your Los Angeles Clippers. They had a thirty five point comeback,
also second largest in NBA history. This is what they do. Do They
need to start faster on Wednesday against Denver? Yes, are you gonna get
away with that against the defending champs? I don't think so. You better
come out like gangbusters. And that's what we saw finally, and I'm gonna
say the last seventeen minutes of the ballgame from the midway point of the third
quarter, and it wasn't just Paul George, James Harden had it going fifteen
points on the third alone, fifteen of the Clippers thirty seven points in that
third quarter when they were down by nineteen and a half and twenty two.
About a minute into the third, James Harden stepped up. He started knocking
down a couple of three pointers, fouled on one of them, also was
dishing dimes out there, led them with nine assists to just one turnover.
The Clippers eleven turnovers total. I'm gonna say they've only had twenty five turnovers
total over their last three ball games. That's been an area they've been cleaning
up. And they had to be sharp. And while they had that turnover
from Kawhi looking for Terrence Man late and I thought that might do them in.
I thought that might be the nail on the coffin for the Clippers.
They just refused to lose today. How many times have I s said that
over the years with this group, they showed that heart, they showed that
fight and a team that's willing to battle and put on a show down the
stretch for their home fans. That's a victory you can rally off of.
This could be that jumping off point for this team. They go three and
three over a stretch where they played six games in nine days. Brutal,
extremely difficult. Nobody's got a worse schedule than them. I'm not making that
part up. Nobody has more five and sevens. They got twenty five of
these things, twenty five make it three and four nines, but they got
a ton of five and sevens as well. Kawhi Leonard, though, also
came through. He had eight points in the fourth quarter and what in ato
for the two for one to get them this victory by coach lou I said
heading into the third man with how good of Ittza zubots As looked six of
six from the field, twelve and seven in just twenty three minutes. How
is he not getting the ball more? Was complaining about it on Twitter.
You gotta feed the guy, get him more touches. He certainly earned a
chance to play late in this ball game. I don't want to see him
make the same mistake they did Thursday night where he didn't get reps late when
the Clippers lost by six up at Chase Center in San Francisco to these same
Golden State Warriors. He didn't come back into the game in the fourth quarter,
and it was the right move. Daniel Tice stepped up, had a
couple of big plays layups and dunks off of passes from Kawhi and Paul George.
When the double came, they found him cutting baseline and he brought that
energy and the Clippers were able to switch more defensively, and that is how
you hold Golden State to just twenty points in the fourth quarter. And they
stuck with that defense late. In fact, they took out Tyson put in
Russ had him, Norman Powell, Paul George, Kawhi, Leonard and Terrence
Man on the floor late and it worked. Stifling defense. The switch ability
was there, switch everything, no open looks and Draymond who I thought,
well, he's been playing above his head from the outside all season long,
but four to three pointers in the first quarter, are you kidding me?
He averages one made per game. This is a guy that over basically since
the seventy three win Warriors team that would end up losing a three to one
lead in the finals. Back in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, when he
shot thirty eight percent from the outside, he's been about thirty percent since then,
and worse, he's been awful. But off two and a half attempts
per game coming into this one this season, he's been knocking down one and
that's forty six percent from three. But come on four in the first that's
just deflating. I thought the Clippers, you know, it's just not their
day, not their matinee. Usually isn't another slow start. Down thirty three
to twenty two in the first quarter, down nineteen at the half. If
Draymond Green and Jonathan Kaminga who hit a three, are knocking down those shots,
you gonna be able to beat this Golden State Warriors team. Well,
Steph Curry went just seven of eighteen, had twenty two missed some late.
Klay Thompson five of thirteen, four of his five were three pointers, seventeen
points instead of I want to say twenty three Thursday night, and you just
killed the Clippers with ten straight at one point late in that ball game.
For the Golden State Warriors. This was more of a playoff type setting with
the scheduling, because you got a home and home, a game at Golden
State, then a game today for the Clippers back at home. So those
adjustments, those little details, the granular level the coaches get into and a
back to back against the same team, it's different. It's more like a
playoff setting. You heard that from coach Lou earlier in our pregame show,
and boy did he make the right adjustments late. That was playoff high in
the second half. Brilliant, truly was Norman pal stepped up. I thought
with some big ones couldn't get a three pointer a go late, But two
to five from the outside, twelve points still playing hurt and was a plus
fourteen in a game they won by one. That's impressive. But this Clippers
starting lineup that got destroyed in the first half, that just came out lifeless,
down of the dead, sleepless like effort out there. They got to
stop with it. I don't care. I don't care about that. It
being an afternoon start at home into a dome can't come soon enough. I
understand it all, and I know how bad this team has been in these
positions where they just ease into ball games for whatever reason. And I know
it's a routine oriented thing. Nobody else is playing games like this at home
all the time because of the Kings and the Lakers playing in this building.
That's what happens to the Clippers. Their third billing, hence into it Dome
can't come soon enough. But at some point, no excuses. When you
have so many of these early starts, you would think at some point they
would get used to it. Well, they overcame a lifeless effort down twenty
two early third quarter to win one thirteen to one twelve on a Paul George
game winning three over his buddy and Klay Thompson. They're friends if you listen
to podcast p he was a guest before. I'm sure they'll have a fun
conversation after this one. But Kawhi Leonard with two tough jumpers and then that
lay up off the great feed from Paul George, just that little shovel pass
to him underneath the basket with about thirty five seconds left. You got to
execute before that three pointer to get to a point where Paul George can make
the game winner, and they did. I know the Kawhi Leonard turnover to
Terrence Man miscommunication there, but outside of that, ooh, they were brilliant
down the stretch, especially defensively the Golden State Warriors. I want to say,
in the last bit here of the ball game, to get to one
twelve, let's see one point. They had three points in the last minute
and a half. Almost yeah, three points from Golden State in the last
minute and a half. Clippers defense clamp City. God. I thought Kawhi
Leonard had a clean block on Steph Curry. I'm still wondering about that play
where he locked them up on the far side baseline. Incredible. But the
Clippers played with desperation like they knew they had to have it. Tyleru same
coach, like that. This was as necessary of a victory as they could
have this early in the season. I know there's still sixty one games left
or whatever it is. I think sixty three maybe, But this is the
type of win that could turn your season around where you could run off eight
of ten wins. I'm hoping that's the case. Don't let this be a
runoff or a one off, I said on Twitter. You can't let this
be a fake comeback. You can't show that much heart just to come up
short. They were right there, down two, multiple times, down three,
multiple times down four. It looked like they couldn't get over the hump.
I didn't think they were going to. And they'd take their first lead
off that shot from Paul George order to put them up by one. They
win one, thirteen to one, twelve. Let's go to Tajus and wall
and out tagous here on Clippers stop without a mas and what's up? Adam?
You sound so much happier right now. I can't blame you. It
was incredible game, incredible comeback. Usually these comebacks are sparked by either a
play or a player. I felt like Harden was that player in that third
quarter to spark it. He was ye getting downhill, shooting, being aggressive,
and they were Clippers were able to generate so many more outside shots,
open outside shots from his aggressiveness. So I you know, I want to
see that continue from the first quarter. I think that I was gonna ask
you a few questions. One where when the Clippers got that when Tyler called
that time out and they got that quick bucket from PG to Kohi and the
reverse layup. Did they have any more time outs left? I believe they
had one left, and they they didn't take it on that final play.
They didn't want Golden State to get set defensively, Yeah, because you know,
well what had happened if PG didn't make it. The topic would have
been should they have called the time out and got hard and in Oh,
of course, that's how it always is, the Monday morning quarterbacking, the
second guessing. Look, it makes sense, get them scrambling defensively, try
to find and look, it ended up being a tough shot that Paul George
just hit. There's not much you can do defensively. In fact, it's
almost like the reversal of what Damian Lillard did to him. It wasn't from
that far out, but in that game five, okay, see versus Portland
a few years back in the playoffs to close out the series. I don't
know what Klay Thompson's supposed to do there. And when Paul George is six
' nine, it steps back for a three pointer. That's tough to stop.
Yeah no, And I thought, you know the comeback was going to
fall short. When they called that, PG fell a take fal and then
I lost pretty much all hope, and somehow they still were able to overcome
it. Uh. They played great defense. You got to give Kawai kudos
for sticking Curry in that first quarter. Uh. He played them pretty well,
you know, and he should have got that. Did you see a
foul there on that baseline play where he blocked Curry. I didn't contested it
at all, but that doesn't mean much. He's always stoic. I just
felt like it looked like clean defense. Yeah, and maybe I'm biased.
I got the clipper goggles, but I felt like in that quarter PG was
driving in. He was driving in and he got fouled a few times and
didn't get the call. I didn't get the own one, But I mean,
great win. Do you think we will see I'm here a coffee in
that substitution over Kobe Brown because I felt like I understand that you want a
big body, but when you're playing the Warriors, maybe he wasn't as necessary
to have Kobe versus a mirror. Uh. Just just food for thought there.
But overall, go win. And like I said last time, Adam,
when we see Denver, I hope we put and those picking rolls and
attack him. Make them work defensively. I'm sorry, Tjus, I gotta
take a quick break. Let's pause ten seconds for station and identification here on
the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Networking AM five to seventy LA Sports. This is
LA Clippers Basketball, AM five to seventy KLAC Los Angeles, ninety eight seven
KYSR HD two, Los Angeles, and iHeartRadio station. Tajus, you were
saying, make Jokic work on the defensive ent. That's the only way to
try to tire him out from being that unstoppable force that he is on the
offensive end. Yes, sir, that's it. Let's go. Great win,
Thanks Adam, Let's go. Clippers come back down twenty two. They
win one thirteen to one to twelve over the Golden State Warriors. Hey,
if I'm throwing you on hold, it's because we'll eventually get to you.
That's how it works. Don't hang up. I'm putting you on hold for
a reason. Howie chill Clippers with no chill down the stretch though, big
shot after big shot, big stop after big stop. Paul George is the
hero in this one. After three straight tough ball game shooting wise, he
is the confidence to take that three for the game winner. Unreal, Mitch
Jose Morris, Howie, hold on, We'll get to you all more.
Clippers stop coming up here on the Empire seventy LA Sports loading Clippers fully loaded
with Clippers fans. This is LA Clippers basketball. You're listening to the LA
Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network. No, you're worth that shot by
Paul George worth a lot. Clippers had to have it. They dug it
out of the dirt, as Brian Seman would say, coming back down twenty
two when it looked like they had given up early or just didn't come out
with the right energy, the right focus. Yes, but they had it
late. Clippers showed up when they had to have it, most down twenty
two early in the third, just for Paul George to knock down a three
pointer to win it one thirteen to one to twelve over his buddy in Klay
Thompson. Welcome back into Clippers socc I'm out a Maslin eight sixty six ninety
eight seven two five seventy eight sixty sixty ninety eight seven two five seventy is
the phone number had a caller earlier tage just talking about James Harden and what
he was able to do in that third quarter, brilliant play. When he
wasn't scoring, he was grabbing the defender's attention and then finding the open man.
James Harden was throwing dimes out there. He jumpstarted this. Without his
energy, they have no shot. He ends up going seven to fourteen.
Both of his threes I believe he hit in the second quarter quarter excuse me.
Also knocked down all his free throws, including three at the charity stripe
in the third. Twenty one points, nine assists, one turnover. It
is not a coincidence that the Clippers haven't been turning the basketball over the last
three games. That is a telltale sign of guys starting to become more connected
offensively, less and less miscues. Now, the Kawhi back behind the back
pass, the Terrence Man inexcusable, can't happen there, Mental fatigue, whatever
it was. I don't know if Man was supposed to stay where he was
for a sixteen footer, but he was trailing Kawhi instead, He's zigged.
He was supposed to zag. I'm sure Kawhi saying that's my bad on that
one. But overall, the Clippers just eleven turnovers and I want to say
just seven and then six the game before that. So we're talking about a
team that is uh turn the ball over at twenty five times total the last
three ball games in that range. Unbelievable. There's just there's no opportunity for
a comeback unless you take care of the basketball, unless you're able to get
up four more shots like they did than the Golden State Warriors. The Clippers
just completely looked like a different ball club last sixteen seventeen, eighteen minutes of
this one. They win one thirteen, one twelve off a clutch three from
Paul George, who had been in a shooting slump. I feel like he's
gonna be okay now. He ended up four of eight though from the outside,
eight of seventeen, twenty five points. Kawhi twenty points on just sixteen
shots, two nasty jumpers, and caught a little alleyup layup from James Harden
in the fourth quarter. Howie in the eight one eight, how we done?
Howie? After this Clippers win? Are we there? Howe? Howe?
How are you gonna wait that long? You know what? It was
my fault? Howie? What's up? Once in a while happens. I
got you, Ali, Yeah, Hey, how you doing, Adam Alie,
I'm asking you forget the pleasantries on my end. You already heard my
spiel. I'm good, okay. So you know I wasn't gonna go to
the game. My partner tuck me into it. I thought it was gonna
be another too much home cooking Mattinee debacle. Told my partner, take my
ticket, give it to somebody down there. I'm not going to another Mattinee.
I don't want to watch it again. But he tucked me into it,
and I went, and I'm glad I went. And the first half
was kind of, you know, that usual Mattinee Blarry dreary play. But
the second half, you know, their defense won the game. I mean,
their defense picked it up in the second half. And Kawhi Leonard.
If he doesn't get nominated for Defensive Play of the Year, something's wrong.
Somebody's not watching, because that guy's unbelievable. As long as he plays enough
games, he'll be in the hunt. And this Clippers team since the new
starting lineup, they had been second defensively over the last eight games coming into
this one, and they just held Golden State to forty five points in the
second half and outscored them sixty five to or make it sixty six to forty
five. I believe it was. Yeah, you're right. It had to
start of the defensive end. When you're coming back on a squad like this,
you got to figure it out. And they were so disconnected in the
first half in early in the third quarter, I didn't think it was gonna
happen. It just shows you. Look, yeah, go ahead, Ali,
Yeah, one more thing I have a problem with. I mean that
I agree with you there that what they're doing lately with the defense and everything,
and the balls getting more fluid too, which is good. But one
thing I got a problem with when Tyler, when the team is coming back
and they got the momentum going and they get back to within a couple points,
they were trailing by ten or fifteen, all of a sudden, I
get back and I come back and they get back within two. Tyler says,
Okay, well, you guys have done great. Take you out.
Let me get another group of uh our second back. Give me specifics,
how when did that happen? Tell me that happened. I think what was
at the end of the third. I mean when they made the comeback and
they got it to within three, and he took him out and he put
in a He took out James Harden because he was going to use him for
the entire fourth quarter. He couldn't play the entire second half. Do you
what do you want? Like there have to be substitutions you got if James
Harden isn't fresh, what how much does he help you? Well? I
know, but I mean if you're if you're making a comeback and you got
the momentum going, my opinion is take it to him. Take the lead.
You got the team that's in there that's bringing you back. They brought
you back from fifteen down or twenty down, whatever it is. Take the
lead. Didn't give the guys a rest, But don't stop short of four
or five points, because after that they went up again by ten points.
As soon as they took him out, they went up again by ten points.
I'm going, oh, no, here we go again. Oh.
But other than that, you know, it was a great game. It
was a he he took out James Harden when they were down eighty seven to
seventy eight, with three to eleven left in the third court. See this
is why I test doesn't always work for me. Howie, I'm sorry,
but what actually happened out there is logged historically. So they were still down
by nine when he took out James Harden, and they actually cut into the
lead more from there. It was a four point game after Norn Powell hit
a three pointer with one minute left in the third quarter. So actually,
uh, then it was a two point game after Daniel Tice had a dunk
off a pass from Russell Westbrook. So that move or that line shift actually
made it closer. Did you like keeping Zoo out there? Howie? You
just gonna shift after going after Coach Lou? And then I actually bring that
tea and he just acts like it didn't happen. My goodness, post But
I just I don't know much time you was out for a while there,
Howie, Howie Howe, Howe, howe, howe, Howie. Zuola was
out the entire fourth quarter. I said to myself late in the third you
gotta put Zoo back in. Sure seemed like it worked keeping him out in
that fourth quarter and having all that versatility and switchability, don't you think Coach
Lou made the right move, all right, he did there. Tys is
playing really good. He gave us a lot there. It was great.
Anyways, a great game. It was a great win. It was a
big win. Hopefully that kicks us in the gear and you know, be
there Wednesday for the Denver game. So let's see what happens. Let's go,
Howie, let's go. They got a build off of this. This
can't be the end. This can't just be a blip. This can't just
be one good Clippers comeback, and then they go right back to the bad
habits they've been showing. And look, this is game nine with the new
starting lineup with Terrence Man next to James Harden And another move I liked was
putting in Norman Palace to start the third quarter. They needed something offensively,
and Terrence Man has been turning down shots. But he did hit a clutch.
He hit a clutch three pointer in the second half. I want to
see how much time was left when he hit that. It was a big
shot from t Man. I believe it was second half. It might have
been third quarter. So there were some shuffling of lineups. Coach lou was
searching for something. He played ten different lineups in the first half. Ten
that's unbelievable. But starting the third quarter with Norman Powell instead of Terrence Man
who's still struggling with a shot one of five from the outside. But I
love the desperation they played with the urgency. Finally hopefully they found something.
It's not a personnel thing. It can be a lineup rotation thing at times.
They have to zone in on that make sure the second unit is strong.
They're still trying to find something. But the starting lineup works. Whether
or not you want to put Norm next to James Harden or Terrence Man one
obviously a much better defender, one better on offense. They just have to
play harder. How you get that out of them? Too often it takes
a big lead for them to click in. I don't like that. I
think it's a bad habit and it's something that's been developed over years with this
team because well, they have had a lot of success coming back on teams.
But if you want to be a championship ball club, you got to
come out of the gates like Gangbusters as well. You've got to start fast
too, and they've been better. But one PM tip oh brutal one in
this game. Still Clippers come up with a big victory down twenty two Paul
George's game winner, Morris A long beach. What's up here on Clipperstock?
Clipper Nation, Dave waiting for the sleeper team to rock and roote. No
no, no, no no no no no no no no after that,
Slipper Nation, Dave waiting for the stiperate team to rock and roll. After
that, Clipper Nation, they've been waiting for the Cripper team to say,
Yo, Denver got nothing coming, behave yourself at them. Nothing coming or
something coming. I hope it's something coming, and I hope it's the Clippers.
I would love for them to turn into a buzz saw after a victory
like this, but time will tell. Now they got time off, that's
a good thing after playing six games and nine days, but they got to
beat Denver period lost to them nine straight times, eleven of the last twelve,
and the last loss was the worst loss in my opinion, just about
a week ago last Monday against Reggie Jackson and DeAndre Jordan, with Denver missing
their big three, and they still somehow just didn't play with enough effort in
urgency it's really that simple. Sometimes with this team, I know it seems
really rudimentary and basketball one on one and just outplay the team and play harder.
There are teams that get by in the regular season just by playing harder
than you talent will win in the playoffs everybody plays hard. Then there are
teams that lose that shouldn't every night because they were outworked, not out talented,
outworked. The Clippers have to get that root, have that ingrained in
their skull. I don't know, but this team has just this awful habit
of not necessarily playing down to your competition against the Golden State Warriors, but
just starting slow. And it's emphasized when it's an early Mattine home game.
But overall they do this and then they show you how good they could be
in the second half, and it's great. But if you start like that
against Denver, I don't think you're coming back down twenty two against the World
champs on Wednesday. Play like you did in the second half, I think
you're beating Denver. I think the pieces are there, I think they have
the guys. I just think it's a mindset period. Let's hear from coach
Lou post game, Clippers come back down twenty two with a Paul George step
back three. That was the eventual game winning shot. And here was coach
Lou post game, Hey, you guys led that game for eight point nine
seconds, the final point nine seconds. Uh what did it take for you
guys to just get over that final humble there in the end. I think
just being resilient, Like we knew we didn't play well, especially in that
first half, and had a lot of defensive breakdowns and a lot of mistakes.
But you know, when you play the Warriors, you're gonna have a
lot of breakdowns if you're not locked in. And so with Steph and Clay,
you know, coming off those screens, you know, your first instinct
is to switch out. They get you on the slip for layups and dunks,
and so just the game plan mistakes we had were just it was just
too much, you know, it's too many. And then, you know,
like I said, other than that, you know, I thought offensive,
we got some good shots that we didn't make. You know, we
got some open looks that we didn't make. But just staying with just staying
with it, you know, I think getting past all the mistake. You
know, just this is a gutsy win for us, and we needed to
win like this just to you know, keep fighting, keep scrapping, keep
competing and winning a big game like this. Scratching and clawing and fighting and
battling their way to victories. That's what it's gotta be with this group.
The talent is there, mindset wise, and they can't come out with game
plan mistakes like that. There was a lot of pick and roll going with
Steph Curry and Draymond Green early in the third quarter. Nasty stuff by the
Clippers defensively, Oh, they made the adjustments. Crouch Loops told them,
I'm gonna tell you this all season long. I keep it pinned at follow
out of may On X. But Kawhi Leonard, you know what, I'll
just play it for you when we come back. At some point, the
players have to look inwards. The messaging has been there. Stop acting like
you already won the last two championship and you can just flip a switch.
Play with that greediness to start, play like through the underdog. That's what
it's got to be from this team. Tonight, they showed some championship type
of metal late, some playoff intensity late, bring it early Wednesday against Denver.
Want to see it? But what a bacdory Clipper Nation exhilarating Carloman is

Clippers Basketball Isa the two one three era continues. You're listening to the La
Clippers on the La Clippers Audio Network. You know, I was calling out
Paul George earlier in this game because some of his defense against Golden State Thursday
night not good, just unserious, unfocused stuff. He got beat off the
dribble by Dario Sarich on a layup. He's guarding him out on the perimeter
and Dario Saarich beat him to the basket for an easy one. And I
just thought, Wow, Paul George is completely checked out here. How can
that happen? How can he let that happen? But he totally redeemed himself.
You know what, Let's play it one more time, Katie. I
got to hear my guy Carlo Jimenez, and you'll hear from Paul George coming
up too. But here was the game winner from PG thirteen with the Clippers
down two with just seconds remaining. In the fourth, Slippers down by two,
George with ten four wings, step back three dame on. Clippers lead
for the first time today with nine seconds left, one thirteen one, twelve
time out Steve Per The Clippers were down twenty two. They outscored Golden State
by twenty in the second half, sixty five to forty five, which tells
you they were down by nineteen. They come through and win in Clapper in
the classic Clippers comeback fashion. Not easy to say. Toy boat, toy
boat, toy boat. All right, Sean and Inglewood, you're on Clippers
South without of Mawson. What's up, Sean? Been a while? Yes,
it's been a whiley Adam. I want to say a couple of things.
First of all, I'd like to get Paul George into the All Star
Game, so everybody get out your votes. You know, Kawhii and Hardens
are going to get their notoriety anyway. But I like to see Paul George
in there. And I think tym Lou probably coached his best second half I've
ever seen him coach. He put Russ in there for defense at the end.
He put Zubac in for rebounding at the end. Huh. He'd made
different changes where usually he's just not changing anything. And the best change he
made was Kawhi on step at the end of the game. So I'm sure
that was doing. Hey, can I tell you something, Sean Zubats never
came back in the ballgame late. He never played in the fourth quarter.
Just so you know, the rebound, he never He never came back into
the ballgame, not for that rebound, for the one of the free throw
he was at twenty two minutes and forty seconds end of the third quarter.
He ended the game at twenty two minutes and forty seconds. Watch a little
bit closer next week. Excuse me, I love you to Adam. Okay,
I'm just saying Sean coach Lou won this game for them, not by
going big, say he made But Jean, if they lose this game,
I bet you're saying, why wasn't a Zubos playing in that fourth quarter?
And guess what, it was the right move. So give him some luck.
Okay, So let's start that be nice and give coach Lowse some love.
He didn't play, He didn't hear by not using your philosophy that you
call in with every single night. It flies in the face of what you
always say, you gotta play too big and rush. Getting that rebound was
a big change, and the Kawai Diick and Curry was a big change.
Okay, So I mean I am right nine time, sir. But I'm
just saying, hey, Sean, are you warming up to James Harden yet?
Did you away still out? Uh? Huh uh huh uh huh.
Have you seen how good the starting Sean? Have you seen how good the
starting lineup has been? Have you seen how good the starting lineup has been
overall? With James Harden next to Terrence Man or Norm Powell. I see
it, And I also want to say, I just heard you say to
get start. They did. It's one game out of nine, Sean.
Overall, they've been very good the starting lineup. The numbers don't lie.
They're a plus twenty two net rating this new starting lineup. Okay, look
we got a victory and go Clippers and love for all Clipper Nation. I'm
not arguing with you today, all right, Sean. I just look,
you call in every night saying the same stuff, bagging on coach Lou for
not going big and he doesn't. And you thought Zubats was in the game
light, which he wasn't. I baffling. I just think you got to
give more love to coach Liu and that strategy that worked that you say never
works and you say he's obsessed with small ball, and tonight it works.
So I would say, not enough of a mia koppa from Seawan and Inglewood
there, But it's all good. We love him anyways. Sean and Inglewood
one of our favorites been calling for a long time. Jeff Leavingcrypto dot Com
arena after the Clippers most exciting victory of the season. That's definitive, Jeff,
what's up? I just want to say, awesome win, Adham,
And I'd also like to add Sean was right. I think Big Zoo did
come in at the end of the game. So how come he never played
another minute? How come the box score says he's still at twenty two minutes
and forty seconds watch the game, even if he was at the free throw
line for a second, and then they called the time out and they took
him and he took him back out like no time passed during that moment.
Okay, that's well, and that might have been what happened because it was
only like for five or eight seconds when we're talking about a guy who went
six of six from the field, had twelve points, seven boards, and
he didn't play in the fourth quarter and it worked. Yeah, and it
worked. No, I agree though Russ had a fake rebound there and PG
awesome. I knew it was good when it left his hand. So beautiful
win. I like to hear it. Jeff, we'll talk to you on
Wednesday. All right, you gotta bite. All right, let's go to
Mitch and Nijizzy. Mitch, you're on clipperstock without of Mawson. Are you
man? Happy holidays? It's snowing because how we have men engage the games
or early? How can you say team has four Hall of Famers? And
I think it's at first, it's not because the Golden State Warriors literally had
four Hall of Famers recently. Oh that's sure, Green worldline, I'm just
not Green is not borderline. He's a four time champion, Mitch. Watch
more basketball, the Hall of Fame, the NBA Hall of Fame. It's
a pretty low bar. Draymond Green is a multiple time defensive Player of the
Year. He's one of the best defenders of his generation. He is a
lock for the Hall of Fame. You know, Louis So won five four
rings with the Yankees. And who's the backup second base from show anyway?
Yeah, Draymond plays thirty five minutes a night. He's not a backup.
It's not comparable. I stand corrected, and you know, I don't realize
you cool I turned rate. I realize in the cool games too. It's
it's great. It's gonna be on with more the young players play more of
the young plays. The world arrested. It's a long season, right,
Well, they played Kobe Brown, they played him eleven minutes. Yeah,
I like that. I want to see more coffee and Moody. I I
like his playing zero because he doesn't do much in Michael All. Moody plays
for Golden State, Kevon Looney, he also plays for I don't know where
he's going with that. Moody also plays for Golden State. Is he a
Clipper? Katie's like telling me Moody. I'm like, yeah, I know,
he doesn't play for the Clippers. He's not with they're young guys.
Musa. Maybe you met Musa there, I'm trying to interpret. I love
the accent with Mitch and he's a long time caller here too. Clippers come
through and you know what, We'll save Jose and Southgate for our final call
tonight. You know what that's about. We'll take a quick time out,
we'll come back. We'll still hear from Paul George. I just want you
all to give coach lu credit for not playing big late. That's all because
I know if they had lost this game they were very close to doing,
it would have been all about if Itza Zubats not playing in that fourth quarter
after he had twelve and seven and was six for six from the field.
Yeah, I'm let me think about that one more Clippers suck Next Maybe we'll
get to casual Katie's corner too, since it seems like it started early tonight
with some of the guesses she just gave me. Xavier Moon didn't play in
this game, Katie. He wasn't talking about Moon. Maybe he was,
Maybe he was. I don't know. Clippers, Paul George, game winning
three. Who what a shot? One thirteen, one to twelve? Your
final This is Clippers talk here on a five seventy LA Sports Loading Clippers fully
loaded with Clippers fans. This is LA Clippers basketball. You're listening to the
LA Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers win on a PG thirteen
game winning step back three over Klay Thompson one thirteen, one twenty two as
they complete make it one twelve. They completed twenty two point comeback. Huge,
huge comeback by the Clippers. Said that a lot over the years would
like to see them play from ahead more often. We'll see if something was
born out of this win by the Clippers, as I like to say,
is Will Updike joins the show here on Clippers stock a medame Oslin. We
got Will Updike on from C and D clips and dip Will. We were
texting during it talking about Draymond Green and how ridiculous it was he knocked down
four to three pointers. Well, he missed the one to win the ball
game. So finally the law of averages played in the Clippers favor when they
needed it most. But what a victory, What a victory. It's one
of those things, you know. I was a little critical of how they
were defending him there in that first quarter, especially after he just continued to
knock him down. You know, it gives me, It always gives me
kind of bad flashbacks to you know, Yonisllad shooting his game or something like
that. But yeah, you're you're absolutely right. Like they stuck to the
game plan. They actually executed the game plan in the second half, playing
with more pace, stepping things UPSI defensively of the physicality and it paid off.
Thirty one assists to just eleven turnovers, and they have been turning over
the ball. I think they've only had twenty five turnovers over the last three
games total. It's been kind of ridiculous, and to me that is a
sign that guys are starting to get on the same page offensively more, especially
with the new starting unit that is now six and three since they went to
it. And even though they started Norm Powell in the second half, I
didn't mind that, as Terrence Man has been turning down shots. He would
knock down one three pointer. But this Clipper starting lineup overall, it's been
very successful. They just got to figure out the bench. Now. Yeah,
yeah, the bench was better in this one, but we've seen them
hemorrhage points even where even in games where the Clippers don't have like a dreadfully
slow start. You know, we've seen the starters able to pile things on,
you know, establish a ten twelve point lead and it just kind of
be immediately messed away by the bench. That's something to figure out for sure.
The Terrence thing, for me, at what level did we start to
become concerned? It was really relieving to see him make that three in the
second half. I don't know if this is just due to him coming back
from that ankle injury or what the dealers we know about the passiveness, but
I think that that's only being exacerbated by a lot of those shots, even
when he's willing to take them, not going in. What are you seeing?
Is this just a return from injury. Has something significant changed in his
release or form. I'm just not really understanding why this isn't why this isn't
what we've normally seen. I mean, he's at sixteen percent now from three
on the season. I'm guessing it's just low confidence. It's not like there's
anything physically wrong with him. It's just between the ears. He started missing
some early when he came back, and now it's just this mental block.
Right now, I still I still like Terrence Man in the starting lineup.
I hope they do keep it that way because he offers so much in so
many different areas, and typically he gets more easy baskets at the rim.
We saw that the last couple of games against Sacramento and then up Nor taken
on the Golden State Warriors. I'm not overly concerned. It would be nice
if you just have a game where he get it out of his system and
knock down four three pointers or something like that and get over the hump,
because that's basically what we saw from George and I and I know completely different
scores, but Paul George was struggling the last three games and he ends up
knocking down the game winner after he had a miserable start to this one as
well. Will he just found his shot his rhythm eventually. Yeah, yeah,
And that's been another one of those things is we've had issues getting like
the Big three to all sort of be in rhythm and have those sort of
games together, and Paul especially, I thought to start this game, the
offensive woes are one of those things that is going to come and go.
Like it's understandable. He's generally a high volume guy. He's gonna have knights
that aren't high at nights, he's gonna have stretches that aren't great. I
thought, like the defining thing for Paul George that was really bad in the
first half was that defensive effort which he completely turned around and lo and behold,
some shots started falling in. I do think it's one of those things
where you know, we have the blueprint, we know what the blueprint is.
Paul George knows what the blueprint is. If he doesn't have it going,
he commits more defensively, and that confidence usually carries over to the other
end, and it certainly did in this one. Nineteen points in the second
half, eleven in the fourth frame there, and I mean, as you
already mentioned, huge shots, huge shot to complete the comeback victory. You
know you just couldn't ask for more. But that's the trustrating thing I guess
about this team that I feel like again and again we have the blue prank.
It just it needs to be executed and there has to be there as
we kind of figure out rotations and stuff more, which I thought Tylerue did
a better job managing that. There's less and less excuses for the players to
not be executing on these game plans. Yeah, I think the message is
there. Whether or not it's received, whether or not they're starting off games
engaged and fully focused is a whole nother thing. But when I hear from
Coach Lou pregame and postgame, if he's saying it to the media, he's
saying it to the players, it's the same thing, and they just I
don't know. It's this quote from Kawhi Leonard that I keep thinking about.
We'll play it at the end of the show. But basically, either the
light goes on from the players, you can only receive the same message a
few different times. There are a few different ways before it's up to you
to receive it and to have it translate into success on the court, and
there just hasn't been enough of that so far. I want to shout out
Coach Lou though, as I have been tonight, because I thought early on
and I still think of each Zuba should get more touches. When he is
six for six from the field and I think five for five in the first
half and got one attempt up midway through the third quarter, I think it
was they have this guy who is absolutely detonating at the rim right now and
playing his best basketball the season. By the way, since this lineup changed
with the starters and they're not going to him enough, I don't know what
he has to do now. I give coach Lou credit because I would have
thought at some point Zoo need to be back in there in the fourth quarter
for a significant minutes, not just hanging out at the free throw line for
a rebound late, but to actually play, and it was the right move
not to go back to him. Daniel Tice was good. They brought out
all the versatility defensively and it worked. Yeah, some of the zoo Bot
stuff is puzzling too, especially because he had like two thirds of the Clippers
points, albeit they had only scored six early, but it is one of
those things that they can depend on. He has been much more efficient around
the rim, and he's been playing his best stretch of basketball and some of
these games. Obviously this one did turn out in a win, but when
he's having games as good as some of these double doubles that we've seen to
this stretch, it is absolutely inexcusable for the Clippers to be losing those games.
I have to be honest, if there's a guy who's I mean,
like, I don't know, the fifth most important players, fourth or fifth
most important player on your team is having knights like that, everybody else needs
to step up around that and be closing up with games. So hopefully we
can see that continue. I mean, luckily, they're gonna get a bunch
of days rest and hopefully that gives them some intensity when they face dend for
next and hey, they're gonna need big Zoo for big minutes, likely more
than the twenty three he played tonight against Jokich, where he has had as
much success maybe as you can have at times as a defender. That's the
joker. I mean, the last time out or the time before in Denver,
I thought for sure he was going to get the call late to play
in that ball game. They never went back to him. They were trailing
late. Sean and Inglewood called after that one heard from him earlier talking about
you got to play with more size, and I agreed with him. In
that game. That was one where I thought Zoo earned those minutes late to
go up against Jokich, And just overall in his career, his performances against
him have been pretty good, so interested to see how that develops. On
Wednesday, Clippers do have some time off, and I thought Kawhi Leonard early
on looked a little bit tired, but man, he had legs late for
a couple of big jumpers and then that layup on a great ato by coach
lou to put them in a position where they could have the two for one
where Paul George would eventually knock down that three. But Kawhi made some big
plays in the fourth quarter. Oh yeah, absolutely, And I mean he
and Paul George both you know, not only got into their twenty, which
is kind of expected scoring wise, but Kawhi was seven assists and Paul George
was six. They were doing everything to sort of elevate around them, which
is especially important when there isn't off night, when those guys aren't at their
most efficient still being able to I mean, they're still going to demand respect
from a defense regardless of what their current efficiency is on that night, So
then taking advantage of that is going to be key. And I thought I
thought there were I thought there were spots. Honestly, even in the first
quarter, though the shots weren't falling down where we saw some better ball movements,
and it finally did translate in that second half and we saw, you
know, not only the three point shooting take a step up, but we
actually got some easy buckets around the rim, some things where you know,
we had space to operate and we didn't have to grind something out in the
half court set. And as good as the Clippers can be in those scenarios,
you just got to you got to make things easier on yourself. Yeah,
Like stop getting down twenty one, Stop getting down twenty two. Because
when they got it down twenty one to the Pelicans a week ago, the
comeback came up short. I thought the same thing was going to happen after
that clear path foul. I thought the Clippers were in big trouble. But
the guy who I thought was the biggest catalyst for this turnaround was James Harden.
In that third quarter, fifteen points, I want to say, he
was four or four from the field, had four assists he might have had
I haven't seen the numbers yet, but generated twenty eight of their thirty seven
points in that third quarter alone. Harden was tremendous and he was playing like
that spark plug, like that Russell Westbrook type where he had all the energy
out there for the team. Yeah. Absolutely, and correct me if I'm
not wrong. But this wasn't this Harden's first made field goal in this stretch
with the Clippers in the fourth quarter? His first which one? I think
this was his first made field goal in the fourth Oh, I see what
you're saying. I think you're right. I think you're right, at least
from what outside the ark. Maybe. Yeah, No, there was something
funky going on with James Harden in fourth quarters and the lack of made field
goals. I think you're right. Well, yeah, I cook you wrong.
Maybe he has need a street before, but it's it's been a rare
situation and obviously he went at one of one. It's not blowing your mind
away, but just that extra threat makes it easier on everybody else. Yeah,
I think that ended up What was that a layup in the fourth quarter?
Do you get down the lane for that one? All I know is
he was at the forefront of this Clippers twenty two point comeback and it was
glorious to see them come together and fight like that and maybe their darkest hour
early on in this season, they had to have it. They got it.
We'll see what legs it has moving forward. But speaking of legs,
they should be fresh for Wednesday since they got a few days off, a
little reprieve here, which is rare for the Clippers. They got to take
advantage of it. Will We will have a C and D podcast coming up
on the YouTube with you and Chuck Mockler soon. Thanks for doing this on
clipper Stock tonight, my friend. Absolutely, Let's go clip. Let's go
clips. Oh, speaking of Jose and Southgate, last caller the night,
Jose, what's up here on Clipper Stock without Amazon? What's up about him?
Real quick? I was just having to catch the telecast from the opposition.
So after that, after we scored out of the time out, they
kept on the camera on the Warriors and Draymond Green went to the hudd of
very adamant about something and Stephan Curry everybody was looking at him and they all
said, okay, so think that's when they come out. And last second
we take James Harden out and put Russell Westbrook in and you can see them
look confuge, even see Steph Curry looking around like where's name's Harden? And
Draymond Green just says, just go ahead and run the play, and then
who gets the rebound from the mid shot? Russell Westbrook come back Paul George
with the three. Here we go one times. Oh, Clippers are always
family friendly. I love to hear that from Jose and the little one there.
Although PG. Thirteen is the guy that hit the shot, so maybe
I shouldn't be able to say that. Speaking of let's hear from Paul George
postgame after he was on with my friend Patrick O'Neill on Bally's See. That
is an incredible three that you hit. What a comeback. You guys were
down twenty two, but when that ball left your hands, did you know
what was good? It felt good. It felt good. As soon as
I released it, I got a good look out the basket. Thank god
it went in. As far as this comeback down twenty two, you guys
hadn't had a comeback down at all, the end or a fourth quarter.
What does this tell you about your team? This is a great comeback,
especially against this team, especially when you go down big on this team.
I mean, they can put points stuff so quick. The fact we was
able to come back just show us a lot. You know, this group
is ready to fight and you know, play all the way until the end.
Besides that shot you hit, what else in the fourth quarter was huge
allowing you guys to win this one over the Warriors. I just thought we
we introduced our defense. Finally, we pressed it up. We got physical
and we were able to get stops, and those stops turned into transition plays
where I thought, you know, against this team, you can't go against
a load of defense. We're ready to score fast and transition. I thought
that was the game. Tremendous game, great shot, congratulations, appreciate it,
ugg all right, PG right there, Brian, that was awesome.
Yeah, filling in for Brian's seaman. Tough shoes to fill, but it's
thrown back to me instead. This. I love you, Brian. Patrick
O'Neill there with Paul George post game after he knocked down the game winner,
saying, this team is ready to fight. We saw that in the second
half. We're gonna have to see it for forty eight minutes. On Wednesday
against the Denver Nuggets. Here was that Kawhi Leonard quote I've been talking about
and referencing throughout this Clippers post game. This is what has to happen.
The light bulb has to go on for this team. It's just on the
players, you know what I mean. And you can only get coached so
much until you that light switches in your head or it never does, and
then you see the teams fail. So we got to figure out who we
want to be. It's it's just on the players. I mean, you
can only get coached so much until you that light switches in your head or
it never does, and then you see the teams fail. Can they put
that like on repeat, like we just heard it in the locker room for
this team. That might help, thanks, because it is on the players
at this point. You can see it. In the second half of this
one. You outscore the Warriors by twenty after losing the first half by nineteen
tailor two halves. All right, Sean, I'll give you some love here.
You were technically right. Zubos was at the free throw line. He
also didn't play a possession in the fourth court. That's all I did.
So loved DeShawn and Inglewood, loved eclibrination. Kate Newton, you got a
quick question for me postgame? Ky Newton's casual corn. I don't have one
that would be quick, but you had to say that, what's your favorite
sound that you hear on the court Nylon Carlo and Menez saying that for the
Paul George game winner. Katie, you got the skills to play that as
we're going out here, because I might want to hear one time. Clippers
win one thirteen to one twelve over the Warriors. They run it back against
the Denver Nuggets. The're nemesis coming up next Wednesday. They got some time
off. Tiptime is at seven pregame at six. Before we get out of
here, I do want to thank no Ego, Ralph Lawler, Bryan Steaman,
Carlo Jimenez. Who you're gonna hear in a second, the callers,
the listeners, Big Brothers, Jake Warner, Katie Newton, Carlo's take it
away. Clippers down by two, George with ten four wings, step back
three name one. Clippers lead for the first time today with nine seconds left,
one thirteen, one twelve timeout. Steve per Ma WHI was doing his
thing. All they want to do is win, LA win. I thought
they gave everything they had. This has been Clippers Talk. The official postgame
reaction of the LA Clippers. God bless Paul George, Are you to change?
