He makes everything happen. Adam Ausley is its real life? 6 00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:34.200 Yeah, this is real life a Clipper Nation. You're going to the Western 7 00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:39.439 Conference Finals for the first time and this franchise is fifty one year history. 8 00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:44.640 After the Clippers come back down twenty five in the third quarter, they win 9 00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:48.240 Game six here at Staples Center by a final score one thirty one to one 10 00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:55.320 nineteen. From Staples Center Live, I'm Adam Oslin. Welcome into Clippers Talk. 11 00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:00.320 Eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero 12 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.439 eleven fifty. Coming up on the show, we'll have postgame audio from head 13 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:10.599 coach Chilu and Paul George and Reggie Jackson and the man of the hour, 14 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:18.799 Terrence Man, who went for a team high thirty nine points and had twenty 15 00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:26.480 points in the third quarter to spearhead this unbelievable improbable comeback unless you'd been watching 16 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.920 this team all season long. This is just how this Clippers team is built. 17 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.799 This is what they do. When the Chips are down, they find 18 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:41.599 a way. They were down seventy five to fifty at the beginning of the 19 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:47.680 third quarter and they come back and are down just three heading into the fourth. 20 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.519 It was an unbelievable, fast and furious comeback. Reggie Jackson had fourteen 21 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.959 points in the third quarter. Clipper Nation showed up big here at Staples Center 22 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:04.959 tonight for the first time since March eighth of twenty twenty. This place was 23 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.759 that full capacity, and it's the loudest I've ever heard it, and I've 24 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:14.479 been to a few games here before. Clipper Nation, give yourself an applause, 25 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:16.599 a pat on the back, another applause. After giving an applause to 26 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:22.360 Paul George, I'm standing ovation for him and Reggie Jackson at the end of 27 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:28.639 this one. What a victory. Dare I say the biggest Enfranchise history? 28 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.280 How can you say it's not? I guess of the Western Conference Finals first 29 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:37.719 time ever, and they did so in dramatic fashion. And the only way 30 00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.800 the Clippers know how the comeback clips. You can't kill them. You can't 31 00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:45.919 take this team out. You can't bury them with three pointers. Even though 32 00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.360 the Utah Jazz tried, they hit twenty one in this game, and the 33 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:55.039 Clippers still found away in the second half. They ended up going fourteen of 34 00:02:55.240 --> 00:03:02.719 nineteen themselves from three from distance. Patrick Beverley in the fourth quarter three huge 35 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:08.599 three pointers. He hadn't hit three three pointers this entire playoff run. Tearance 36 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:13.639 Man was out of the rotation the first two games of this series. The 37 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.960 Clippers went fourth straight. It's not just history for them in this franchise, 38 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:23.120 though, the first team ever now to come back down oh two in multiple 39 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:30.400 rounds in a playoff run. It's never happened before. And I'm standing up 40 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:34.639 a Staples Center. I got too much energy. Who's gonna sleep tonight? 41 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.639 I almost kiss Noah Eagle earlier, or we might do it now? Okay, 42 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.680 Just cool, cool guy, Bro Hug, We're good. Noah Eagle, 43 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.599 your voice of the Clippers, killing it all season long as always. 44 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.879 Jake Warners here, our head engineer. We got Zacho quality back in Burbank. 45 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.240 T taking your phone calls eight seven seven five two zero eleven. Fifty 46 00:03:54.319 --> 00:04:01.159 eight seven seven five two zero eleven, fifty is the phone number. The 47 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:06.000 Clippers come back down twenty five. We just had seen them come back down 48 00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:12.639 thirty one two years ago at Oracle Arena before they closed it out. The 49 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:18.120 Clippers really shut it down. That team was built for comebacks. They were 50 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:24.480 so resilient, and they lost some of that somehow. Last year teams were 51 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:28.519 coming back on them. But this season, and I said it on Twitter 52 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:33.079 when they came back down twenty two against the Atlanta Hawks, when Luke Kennard 53 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:38.279 and Terrence Man stepped up in that game and then the starters closed it out, 54 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:42.439 I said, this Clippers team is just different. They came back on 55 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:48.839 Miami down eighteen without Kauai, without Paul George. They have been built for 56 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:55.040 this. They have been prepared for these moments of adversity, and they just 57 00:04:55.079 --> 00:05:00.000 continue to overcome these difficult hurdles over and over again. They find themselves when 58 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.600 they're down double digits. That's just who they are. It's their identity. 59 00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:10.680 The resilient nature from this Clippers bunch unmatched and you saw it. This was 60 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:15.600 peak twenty twenty twenty twenty one LA Clippers basketball tonight here at Staples Center to 61 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:20.920 pull off a twenty five point comeback where they end up winning one thirty one 62 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:26.519 to one nineteen over the Utah Jazz in game six. They win four straight. 63 00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.240 Just think back to where you were and how you were feeling about this 64 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.360 ball club down zero two in the first rounds of the Dallas Mavericks, and 65 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:39.560 then think about how they were down nineteen early in Game three of that series, 66 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.680 and yet they get to this point where they're headed to the Western Conference 67 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:47.800 Finals for the first time in the history of this franchise. Taken on the 68 00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:53.480 Phoenix Suns. Game one is Sunday, But just think about that. They 69 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:58.639 had to win multiple games with their back against the wall. They basically had 70 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.879 four different elements nation games. They had to win down two OHO, can't 71 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:06.680 go down three zero, down three two. They had to win game seven. 72 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.279 Then they were down two oh against this Utah Jazz team in the second 73 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:15.839 round. Here they had to win game three. They've made it four in 74 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:20.399 a row, and they did so against a great effort from the Utah Jazz. 75 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:24.879 We're talking about the number one seed. We're talking about the team with 76 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:30.480 the best record in the NBA. Utah has been this good. They have 77 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.639 put up forty three points, or forty three three pointers per game all season 78 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:38.759 long, they put up forty four tonight, hit twenty one of them, 79 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:43.879 and the Clippers were even better. After starting six of twenty in the first 80 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:48.720 half, the Clippers go fourteen of nineteen in the second half here at Staples 81 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:55.839 Center in front of a packed house from distance. And how about Paul George, 82 00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.800 all the scrutiny, all the undeserved criticism that has come down on him 83 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:05.000 over the last year, he has gone through the fire. That's how he 84 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:11.959 put it back on who this was Back in December early January, there was 85 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.959 a game in Phoenix, speaking of the Suns. Paul George would hit Nicholas 86 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:19.279 Batoum in the corner for a three pointer and oh yeah, big daddy, 87 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:26.240 Nicholas Batoum would hit four three pointers in this one. Yeh, multiple blocks, 88 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.839 let's count him three. He had a huge steal and throw down on 89 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.720 Joe Ingalls. But in that game back in Phoenix, then Paul George, 90 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:41.360 I think had something like thirty eight points, was doing everything, but was 91 00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:47.439 hearing the chirping from the opposition, maybe same playoff pe taunting him, going 92 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.720 after him. And it's been like that all season long, and he has 93 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:56.920 persevered. He is pushed through it to get to this point where first they 94 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.800 win Game five due to his thirty seven point sixteen board outing on the road 95 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:07.480 in Utah, a plays they had one in four years. And then tonight 96 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:13.600 he has twenty eight points, He has nine boards, seven assists, and 97 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.279 he had ten of his twenty eight and the fourth quarter huge shots, a 98 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:24.079 huge three pointer, a couple tough step backs. Paul George has given them 99 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.839 everything they asked for when he came here. You know how many calls I 100 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:28.959 used to get. Are people talking about it? I'm not so sure they 101 00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.080 should have traded SGA in those picks. How are you feeling about it now? 102 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.879 For having Paul George and the way he has played these last two games 103 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:43.399 without Kawhi Leonard. Let's put this in perspective. They just won two games 104 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.000 against the number one seed in the Western Conference, with the team with the 105 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:50.840 best record overall, and they did so without their best player. Without Kauai, 106 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:56.399 who was no eagle point out was doing historic things for this team offensively. 107 00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:00.919 He was carrying them at times throughout the playoffs. The forty five he 108 00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:05.000 had in Game six in Dallas that entire series. He shot over sixty percent 109 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:13.960 from the field. He put up Shack numbers as a shooting guard, averaging 110 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:18.080 thirty points on over sixty percent shooting for an entire playoff series. And nobody 111 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.759 had done that since since Shack did back in the year two thousand in the 112 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.480 NBA Finals. That's what Kauhi was doing. The Clippers get off to him 113 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.399 two. We'll start. Everybody starts to doubt them. They flip the switch, 114 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.279 and they start playing their best basketball. When they face adversity, they 115 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.960 just find a way. But tonight to do it in front of this crowd, 116 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.720 in front of Clipper Nation, this was special. The Clippers are going 117 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.720 to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in franchise history. They win 118 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:54.360 one thirty one to one nineteen over the Utah Jazz. A week going NonStop 119 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.679 tonight. Flip flip see zachocald he knows what's up. I say, flip 120 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.840 the switch. She plays a song coming up next. We'll get to your 121 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.080 phone calls eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two 122 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:15.879 zero eleven fifty. I'm standing up at Staples Center as these Clippers stood strong 123 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.799 in the face of a twenty five point deficit. They come back to win, 124 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:22.600 and they're going on to the Western Conference Finals for the first time. 125 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:33.039 More Clippers stock next right here on the Patriot A I'm eleven fifty, which 126 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:39.360 I'm at the Clippers, the LA Clippers and the Utah Jazz. You're listening 127 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:46.480 to playoff basketball on the LA Clippers official home. George right, Wayne cross 128 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.840 Over telling right ally, George of the ram try to kick it out? 129 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.440 Does extra meet Man nears night corner, take the time, take the three 130 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:58.639 head hits, Terence man on corget once again. Thirty nine for free Man 131 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:03.559 and the Clippers League one sixteen to one oh six. You know, I'd 132 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:05.799 like to call Noah Eagle the future Goade, but you know, after we 133 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.200 saw from Terence Manson night, I mean maybe the little hashtag future goad for 134 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.039 him too, is he has twenty points in the third quarter. He leads 135 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:18.320 the Clippers with thirty nine to match Donovan Mitchell's thirty nine. The Clippers come 136 00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:24.039 back down twenty five in the third quarter, not the first quarter, not 137 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.000 the second quarter. With about twenty three minutes left in the game, they 138 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.720 were down twenty five here at Staples Center in Game six, they come back 139 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.559 to win, and they're moving on to take on the Phoenix Suns in the 140 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:41.720 Western Conference Finals. Pinch yourself, Clipper Nation, you made it there. 141 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.879 The job is not done. This team knows that. If you heard from 142 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:52.120 head coach Toronto lou or Kawhi Leonard recently, they said they don't care about 143 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.360 just making the Western Conference Finals. They're trying to win the whole thing. 144 00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:00.639 And with performances like this tonight, he starts to think the team is so 145 00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:05.320 gretty, they're so gutty. Depending on the severity of the injury with Kawhi 146 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:07.720 Leonard, I'm sorry we don't have an update for you at this time, 147 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.480 but this team has those championship ingredients. They have some of that DNA. 148 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:20.720 You can see it with the way they show that resolve whenever they're down, 149 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:26.840 that fight, those counterpunches. The Clippers come back down twenty five, they 150 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.399 win Game six. They are moving on for the first time so the Western 151 00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.039 Conference Finals. Welcome back in the Clippers stock. I'm out of Maslin eight 152 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:39.320 seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. 153 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.399 I hear the phone lines are packed.

Sean, that's what I brought you on first. 173 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.639 For a reason. You did call it. You said Clippers and six. 174 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:16.840 I think Jake Warner did as well here at Staples Center said I'm not moving 175 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:22.799 my equipment. I know this team's coming back. Was not concerned. Sean. 176 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.279 Thank you for the phone call. Let's try to get everyone in tonight. 177 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:33.519 Bill and Irvine a villain Irvine, Thank you, Zach Villain Irvine, 178 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:39.399 you're on Clipper Stalk after they win Game six to advance the Western Conference Finals 179 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.919 for the first time ever. Bill, how are you pretty good? Thanks 180 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:48.960 for the tagular call. It's notable that three teams in their infancy back in 181 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:54.039 the seventy seventy one season, which would change the league to four divisions for 182 00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:58.200 the first time. And there was Portland who won. You know was that 183 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.799 gret had somebody remarked we talked about the other night. Then there was the 184 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.600 Calves. We finally got it done. And now you're Buffalo brave as La 185 00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:13.120 Clippers are next. Okay, you are the historian here, you are a 186 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:18.360 man with a lot of information. Yeah, and I think it's really important 187 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:24.080 that you know, they get it done. You know they're Undermann right now, 188 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:28.600 but who knows what the next series will bring with the health reports. 189 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.320 They can just relax now and go to game one and give it what they've 190 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.720 got. Everything's every two days from now. And it looks like except for 191 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:41.720 perhaps after game one. But I think it's a very nice notable Uh you 192 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:46.159 know, oddity that that's how that happened with this franchise. But it was 193 00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.960 worth the weight. Bill, thank you for the phone call. Was worth 194 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:54.039 the weight. No what Eagles said it good things come to those who wait. 195 00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.759 Nothing good comes easy. Kawhi Leonards said that recently, we're hoping for 196 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:03.159 the best with that right knee injury. Let's go to Jeremy in La. 197 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.039 Jeremy, give me that energy. Come on, I'm at Staples Center. 198 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.120 I'm standing up and walking around like a luasic. What's up. I think 199 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.879 I'm doing the exact same thing at him, because this has been one of 200 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.639 the most amazing nights of my life. To two things before I get off 201 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:21.200 the phone, I don't want to hold up the line. Number one, 202 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:26.960 it's been thirty years for me as a Clipper fan, Section nine row A, 203 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.759 seats one, two and three. It's where me and my parents sat 204 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.840 for some of the worst Clipper basketball you could ever imagine. That sports Relina 205 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:38.720 and tonight just feels like the weight of the world is off my shoulders. 206 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.440 I just want to say, Clipper dog pound, we love you, Keep 207 00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:48.240 calling in, keep fighting. We got on to the Western Conference finals, 208 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:55.919 y'all. Now number two second point the regular season means something, and I 209 00:16:55.960 --> 00:17:00.240 want to point out something. The third game we played against Utah, I 210 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.640 remember that fourth quarter very well. We did the exact same thing we did 211 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:08.759 in that fourth quarter that third game against these guys. Tonight brought out Rudy 212 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:14.759 Gobert. Guys trying to get a matchup can't get the matchup swing it. 213 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.759 Keep going to the basket, touch the paint, kick it out, and 214 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.480 there's nothing they can do about it. And this is a game plan that 215 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.039 we're gonna have to use against the Suns, because I remember the third game 216 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:30.039 we played, or the second game we played against them at Staples. Paul 217 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.839 George goes off because we keep bringing out Aiden. Aiden starts to guard George, 218 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.599 and then the bass starts moving around and there's nothing they could do about 219 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:44.079 it. We can win this series. This is not done. These guys 220 00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:48.799 are hurt all over the NBA. Just hold tight, let's go. Adam 221 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:53.319 My Levey, You's been great. No Eagle has been great. Clipper Nation. 222 00:17:53.519 --> 00:18:02.440 Where where Jeremy in Los Angeles? Jeremy, you just reminded me of 223 00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:08.319 something. I think the man who deserves the most credit for this it starts 224 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:15.400 with Steve Balmer and the direction he has taken this franchise since twenty fourteen. 225 00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:21.839 I've said this before, but people comparing the two teams in LA, while 226 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:25.839 the Clippers were at a disadvantage all these years because of ownership, what did 227 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:30.279 they always say? Ownership is the best advantage in sports, and now the 228 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:34.960 Clippers have it. But it's only been seven years and look at all the 229 00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:42.000 changes, and Steve Balmber had to make a tough decision. And we wish 230 00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:47.000 Doc Rivers well. I hope they end up meeting the Clippers in the NBA 231 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:52.079 Finals the Philadelphia seventy six ers. But the tough decision was that mutual parting 232 00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:57.839 of ways with Doc Rivers, and I think to some degree he is a 233 00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:03.480 part of this upset. The foundation as well. I don't know if Kauai 234 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:07.519 and Paul George come here without Doc Rivers. But what head Coach Toronto lu 235 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:14.200 has done this season is really unlocked the full potential of this lineup because the 236 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:18.279 versatility on this team is really unmatched. And you're talking about the mismatches and 237 00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:22.720 going small and pulling Rudy Gobert out and they'll try the same thing with DeAndre 238 00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.880 Aden. That is the mastermind of coach lou. That's what he does. 239 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:33.720 He finds the flaws and weaknesses in the opposition and he exploits them over and 240 00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:40.599 over again and tries to make the weakest link beat them. And he's done 241 00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:45.279 it to perfection down two Oho. Remember when he said he wasn't concerned and 242 00:19:45.319 --> 00:19:48.480 a lot of people were like, what this is an outreach? A lot 243 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:53.519 of people to start apologizing tonight to head coach tlu Let the apology be as 244 00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:59.680 loud as the disrespect was, because this man never panicked, not once. 245 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.559 And as the series both of them have gone on, he's tightened the screws 246 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.720 on teams, he's tightened his rotations. He keeps finding more and more of 247 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.440 what works. And you mentioned the fourth quarter tonight he found that. Yes, 248 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.319 you're right. In that third game against the Utah Jazz. It was 249 00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.960 the only one the Clippers won against them in the regular season, and they 250 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:25.279 went small late. They did it against tonight. But head coach Tlu deserves 251 00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.240 a ton of credit for this turnaround in his first year with the Clippers. 252 00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:32.839 You think it's a fluke, You think it's by happenstance that they get to 253 00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:34.960 the Western Conference finals. Finally, No, no, no, no, 254 00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:41.799 no. Coach Lou has been brilliant. Let's go to Caleb in Ohio. 255 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:47.960 Kayleb, what's up? And I've been a Clipper saying for twenty six years. 256 00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:49.599 I tried after the game was over, I listened to it on the 257 00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:55.079 radio. But it's a dream come true. And I wouldn't give you my 258 00:20:55.559 --> 00:21:00.759 prediction that happened five years ago with Tylu. He's gonna take and he's gonna 259 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.920 bite the Curs like he did with the Cavaliers, and they're gonna win a 260 00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:08.400 championship this year. Caleb, thank you for the phone call. So far, 261 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:17.680 you're pretty prophetic. Prognostication so far is on track. That's the thing. 262 00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:22.039 He was down three games to one. He stays calm. This team 263 00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.680 stays poised. They take on the identity of their head coach. Paul George 264 00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.599 just said this after Game five. He's so calm, cool and collected and 265 00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:34.799 even Keel and the rest of the team doesn't panic either. Out here down 266 00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:38.599 twenty five tonight in game six, doesn't matter. They find a way. 267 00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:44.160 They refuse to lose. I don't care if they're sports cliches that Ben Maller 268 00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:47.119 would mock. I don't think he would because he's a Clippers fan as well. 269 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:52.759 They ring true with this team. This is what they do. Jose 270 00:21:52.839 --> 00:22:06.759 and south Gates set it off. Oh this is not setting it off. 271 00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:12.599 Adam, twenty five year Clipper. I've never puss set It's like shapos and 272 00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:18.440 just like it pierced my heart to hear over Rain being yelled by eighteen thousand 273 00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:22.480 and seven. You talk if Pierce not hard Cliffer Nation staying up today because 274 00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:29.359 you we're gonna do the baby Poetic Justice ninety nine. Wait, first of 275 00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:32.039 all, wait, let me call myself down. First of all, thank 276 00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:34.039 you Zach, thank you Jake, thank you Adam, thank you, no 277 00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:40.200 Ego, and thank you. Ralph Lawler ninety nine Maggy nine first two, 278 00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:47.359 one hundred wins. Who scores that basket? Paul George could do baby Adam 279 00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:51.799 said, say four, I was like Dame who got only one and the 280 00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:56.720 same man, I'm gonna I'm gonna cut myself off before you cut me off. 281 00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:03.440 Let me see wise words. I'll say thank you for the phone call. 282 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.480 Great as always, and they were down twenty five. Don't show them 283 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.680 that point that they came back down from down from the depths here at Staples 284 00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:17.599 Center. They just clawed their way back in without the claw, without Kawhi 285 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:23.599 Leonard. I don't know which game is more remarkable in these last two game 286 00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:27.440 five on the road where they had one in four years, and the Utah 287 00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:32.240 Jazz hit seventeen three pointers in the first half and the Clippers were still right 288 00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:36.480 there, just down five to win that one, or to come back down 289 00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:41.119 twenty five here tonight at Staples Center. I'm leaning this way because of what 290 00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:47.240 it meant, because they're moving on now to the Western Conference Finals for the 291 00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:48.920 first time, and because they done it. They did it in front of 292 00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:56.240 Clipper Nation and no kids, yourself. I don't know if they're coming back 293 00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:07.000 down twenty five on the road. The fans here tonight we're on tilt for 294 00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.920 big hyped or other millennial slaying that I'm not that familiar with. They were 295 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:18.079 on fire for this team. You helped drive them back. Reggie Jackson was 296 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.519 calling for more. Patrick Beverley wanted to hear more. They just fed off 297 00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:27.680 the energy from Clipper Nation tonight and now they're moving on to take on the 298 00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:33.759 Phoenix Suns and the Western Conference Finals. Game one is in Phoenix, Tip 299 00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:38.119 times at twelve thirty on Sunday. More Clipper Stock coming up next. We'll 300 00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:41.400 get back to your phone calls. Eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. 301 00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.759 Eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty is the phone number from Staples 302 00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:51.359 centsor Live. I'm atam Oslin and this is Clipper Stock here on the Patriot 303 00:24:51.400 --> 00:25:00.119 AM eleven fifty. This is the second round of the NBA Playoffs. KWHI 304 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:11.799 Lennard, I'm your official home of LA Clippers basketball. George Washers towards the 305 00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:14.480 ball, but Jackson keeps him driving right down the right alley. Jackson to 306 00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:18.839 the ramps, high off the window. Reggie Jackson over the top of Gobar, 307 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:23.640 Defensive Player of the who Reggie Jackson has teamed him again twenty seven from 308 00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:30.799 mister Tune and the Clippers lead five fifteen. The defensive player of the Years 309 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:34.279 had a rough time the past couple of games. The Clippers went right at 310 00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:41.799 him. Reggie Jackson was hunting him in the fourth quarter, looking to put 311 00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:47.839 a body on. Rudy Gobert did it multiple times with amazing acrobatic layoffs here 312 00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:52.319 at Staples Center. And the Clippers come back down twenty five in Game six 313 00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:56.000 to make it four straight victories in this series, and they are moving on 314 00:25:56.160 --> 00:26:02.279 for the first time in franchise history to the Western Conference Finals. Welcome back 315 00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:06.440 into Clippers talk. I'm atam Moslin to eight seven seven five two zero eleven 316 00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:11.400 fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty or get to me at follow 317 00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:18.160 Adam a on Twitter. I told you these Clippers were different. They're just 318 00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:23.359 built different. I'm sorry it has to be said. They're winning games they 319 00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:27.720 would have lost last season. They're doing things that were done to them. 320 00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.640 It was the Denver Nuggets who came back on them down nineteen sixteen, down 321 00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:37.480 twelve and three straight games after being up three games to one in that second 322 00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:41.880 round series. Last year. Now it's the Clippers coming back down twenty five, 323 00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:47.599 coming back down nineteen against the Dallas Mavericks, coming back down O two 324 00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:53.160 twice. Nobody's done that before, not one team, not even the Clutch 325 00:26:53.480 --> 00:27:00.359 City Houston Rockets from ninety five, who won five different must win ELM Nation 326 00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:06.160 games. These Clippers just keep finding ways to win, and they're gonna have 327 00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:10.039 to do the same now against the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference Finals, 328 00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:15.480 with Game one on Sunday. Tip time is at twelve thirty pm. This 329 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:21.039 is Clipper stock. Let's get to Oh Sexy Rexy in La, Rex in 330 00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:25.279 La. What's up? You're on? Clippers stop without of Boslin. Oh. 331 00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:29.200 This was a great game, one of the I guess, one of 332 00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:33.319 the great games in the history of Clippers basketball. I mean I was listening 333 00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:36.680 to it on the radio while I was driving. At first, I was 334 00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:40.839 I wasn't sure when they were down twenty five, I wasn't sure. But 335 00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:48.000 they just found a way to come back. Rex. It's what's It's what 336 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:51.440 they have done all season long. This is what this Clippers team does. 337 00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:55.640 It's unbelievable. No one and I were sitting here at halftime They're down twenty 338 00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:57.480 two, and I'm like, okay, law of averages starts to go in 339 00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:03.359 their favor, even though it really didn't. Utah went nine of twenty five 340 00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:07.039 from three. In the second half, they did cool off, but the 341 00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:14.279 Clippers caught fire from distance. They went fourteen of nineteen and every shot was 342 00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:18.920 greeted with cheers from Clipper Nation. Here at Staples Center. You could just 343 00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:25.319 feel the momentum turn and the crowd was involved and it was it was like 344 00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:29.640 the Clippers and thank you for the call. Rex. It was like the 345 00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:36.319 Clippers were back with an old friend. With Clipper Nation at full capacity here 346 00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:41.799 tonight at Staples Center, that love affair between Clipper Nation and this team. 347 00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:48.480 I don't it's never been stronger. This is what Clippers fans have been waiting 348 00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:52.200 for for fifty one years, to get to the Western Conference Finals. The 349 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:57.000 job is not done. They want a championship. That's the ultimate goal. 350 00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:00.440 This Clippers team knows it. But to get there, you gotta get to 351 00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:04.680 the Western Conference Finals. Up next the Phoenix Suns. Let's go to Tagius 352 00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:10.759 and Walnut. Tagus, you're on Clippers staff without him, Astin Hey, 353 00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:15.599 Adam to a might have loss of words, but I'm probably gonna watch the 354 00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:19.759 second half of this game again before I go to bed. That's how happy 355 00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:23.400 I am right now, just to make sure it happened right. It wasn't 356 00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:29.759 a dream. Yeah, I'm still pinching myself. I wanted to say two 357 00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:33.519 things. One, when you talked about the foundation and Doc Rivers, there's 358 00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:37.799 one person left from that foundation that's Pat dev And how fitting was it that 359 00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:41.920 he hit those clutch threes at the end, because that guy gives his heart 360 00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:47.519 out one hundred and fifty percent, and whether he plays or not, he's 361 00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:51.079 the heart of this team. And I was just so happy for him. 362 00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:56.519 He's helped develop this to your point there, to agus this never quit, 363 00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:00.119 never to say die, never give up type of culture. It's started when 364 00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:04.480 he got here, along with Lou Williams and Montrese Harold. They both obviously 365 00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:11.240 have been huge for turning this organization and taking that next step in that transition 366 00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:14.799 after Lobs City without those three guys, And you're right, Patrick Beverley, 367 00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:18.039 the only one still hear him hitting those three three pointers in the fourth quarter, 368 00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:23.039 all right, nobody has deserved it more than he. I agree, 369 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:29.680 Adam and second. It's a little earlier, but when I was after right 370 00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:32.519 before Game five, we found out the kwai and news, and then they 371 00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:37.480 won Game five in Utah, and then being down twenty five today and pulling 372 00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:41.440 it off. I have just thought about that Vince Gully quote after Krew Gibson 373 00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:45.920 hit that home run. In a year that has been so improbable, impossible 374 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:52.640 has happened. Thank you for the phone calls. Agus. You know we 375 00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:55.599 are your home of the Dodgers as well. If the Dodgers are on AM 376 00:30:55.680 --> 00:31:00.400 five seventy LA Sports, that means we're right here on the Patriot AM eleven 377 00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:10.000 fifty. Let's go to Morrison Long Beach. Morris every night, we got 378 00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:14.400 a different winner rule and every night, and different players got to go in 379 00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:23.839 Clippers rule, Pompano Clipper rule, Bomano Clipper rule, Morrison Long Beach. 380 00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:27.319 I don't know what that parody was, but I like Todays. I just 381 00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:30.720 want to point out that the Clippers survived a game where Donovan Mitchell went nine 382 00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:37.480 of fifteen from three, likely a career high, although he did have a 383 00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:42.359 fifty point game in the playoffs last year, but nine of fifteen he hit. 384 00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:45.720 This is how the Clippers got down twenty five to night in Game six, 385 00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:51.759 he hit a shot from the logo from the La City, the Los 386 00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:56.480 Angeles script San Andreas font logo at the center of the court, about a 387 00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:01.880 thirty five foot three pointer or to start the second and half. Then the 388 00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:07.680 Clippers got down twenty five. Then they got started playing that inspired basketball that 389 00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:12.559 they always do, and they dug themselves out of a hole by out scoring 390 00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:20.039 the Utah Jazz eighty one to forty seven in the second half. All right, 391 00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:22.519 who else we got here? Eddie and Hawthorne? Eddie, you're on 392 00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:28.079 Clippers stop without am awsin. You know, I've been waiting since college for 393 00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:34.839 this to happen, for the past twenty years. Wait no longer, Eddie, 394 00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:39.640 Eddie, I'm waiting for you to say something else, anything else, 395 00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:45.880 Eddie? Or does that say at all twenty years you've been waiting. Some 396 00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:50.680 have waited much longer. It's been fifty one years in the making for this 397 00:32:50.839 --> 00:32:53.519 Clippers team to reach the Western Conference Finals. But I got news for you. 398 00:32:54.759 --> 00:33:00.359 This isn't the end. This team isn't done now. They're not gonna 399 00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:05.640 stop. They are on a mission. They won these last two games without 400 00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:09.440 Kawhi Leonard, and they were built for this. The stay ready Clippers. 401 00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:15.440 That's that's who they've been all season long. Next man Up Reggie Jackson was 402 00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:20.920 out of the rotation in the first ten games the season. He becomes a 403 00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:25.240 starter from Game three on in the playoffs. Has been their third best score 404 00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:31.880 behind Kawhi and Paul George. It's different guys, as Morris long Beach was 405 00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:36.680 singing earlier, different guys stepping up all the time for this team. Next 406 00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:43.519 man up two ends on that man. But it's just remarkable the resiliency of 407 00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:47.440 this team. I've never seen anything like it. They are as mentally tough 408 00:33:47.960 --> 00:33:55.440 as anyone out there. Jeff and Tarzana, you're on Clippers stock. I 409 00:33:55.640 --> 00:34:02.400 am amazed at how good the Clippers are. When you think of only scoring 410 00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:09.280 fifteen points in the first half and what eighty one in the second half and 411 00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:15.199 beating them by thirty four points in twenty four minutes. That must be an 412 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:21.400 all time record for points scored in the second half on a playoff clincher. 413 00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:24.800 Am I correct. We'll have to check on that with the ESPN News and 414 00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:29.440 stats. We'll get to it. Jeff Okay and the other thing, Adam 415 00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:34.360 as I realized that the Clippers are the only team in NBA history to win 416 00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:38.920 two series when they're two games behind. But what is their overall record? 417 00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:45.079 Because you had this earlier when they were playing of the Mavericks, of when 418 00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:50.440 they fall behind in the first quarter and come back to win. What's happening 419 00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:55.360 is I am so happy that they have to Ron Lewis or coach. He 420 00:34:55.519 --> 00:35:00.800 reminds me a lot of Pete Carroll to make adjustments, how he does his 421 00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:06.280 team and as good a coach as Doc Rivers was. Do you know that 422 00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:12.599 Doc Rivers holds a record for most blown three to one leads. Let's focus 423 00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:16.239 on the positive though. Okay, I'm so happy to have irone Lou And 424 00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:22.239 the only reason why you're calling the Jazz the best team in the Western Conference 425 00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:27.599 or basketball is because they didn't have a lot of injuries like the Clippers had. 426 00:35:28.039 --> 00:35:31.880 If the Clippers would have had Kawai and Paul George all the year, 427 00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:37.920 the Clippers would have had the best record in basketball. And I'm happy and 428 00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:42.840 I think they could beat Phoenix within six games, depending on how many games 429 00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:49.719 Kawai would play or if he plays at all, or Chris Paul. But 430 00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:53.599 I mean I am elated by this team. I am so happy Clipper Nation 431 00:35:53.639 --> 00:36:00.039 has reached euphor you Clippers Nirvana. But there's still work to be done and 432 00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:05.000 more Clipper stock coming up next. Also, I know we have postgame audio. 433 00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:13.400 I just know it. Clippers come back down twenty five here at Staples 434 00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:20.000 Center in Game six in the most dramatic Clippers way possible to advance to the 435 00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:23.079 Western Conference Finals for the first time in the history of this team's franchise. 436 00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:30.079 Who I'm still standing up. I had to go to the bathroom a while 437 00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:32.639 ago. I just forgot you know, I get excited, Clipper Nation, 438 00:36:34.360 --> 00:36:37.960 I know you're right there with me. More Clippers stock coming up eight seven 439 00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:42.320 seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. 440 00:36:42.840 --> 00:36:47.480 We'll hear from Coach lou next after the Clippers make some personal history reaching the 441 00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:52.920 Western Conference Finals for the first time, but they want to take it further. 442 00:36:53.320 --> 00:37:05.760 This is Clipper Stock here on the pastry Am eleven fifty. The quest 443 00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:08.000 for the Larry O'Brien is off for them to get to the Promised Land for 444 00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:13.480 the first time in franchise history. You're listening to La Clippers Playoff Basketball on 445 00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:23.400 their exclusive hold Doctor I was right away directed cropping nights, your provid inside 446 00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:27.960 George short quarter and you're shot against pitcher double cup from Robert George. Will 447 00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:30.599 you go to the double's defense right? Based on the fact eighteen butter, 448 00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:37.159 Paul George bills it twenty five for PG thirteen and the Clippers league one thirteen 449 00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:44.800 or one oh six midway through the fourth quarter. The real playoff p has 450 00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:53.079 stepped up. Paul George has come through and has taken the team that he 451 00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:59.000 rooted for growing up to the Western Conference Finals and did so in the last 452 00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:04.719 two games without Kawhi Leonard. The Clippers come back down twenty five here in 453 00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:09.000 Game six at Staples Center, and they're victorious over the Utah Jazz with the 454 00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:13.119 final score of one thirty one to one nineteen. The Clippers will be in 455 00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:17.159 Phoenix for Game one of the Western Conference Finals Sunday. Tip time is at 456 00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:22.519 twelve thirty. Welcome back into Clippers Talk. I'm out of Maslin eight seven 457 00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:27.760 seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty were 458 00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:30.400 next. We're with you for the next half hour here on the Patriot am 459 00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:36.800 eleven fifty. But because Jeff and Tarzana asked, and I'm feeling generous as 460 00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:39.679 the Clippers were given Utah buckets in that second half, where they went fourteen 461 00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:45.400 of nineteen from three. The Clippers trailed seventy five to fifty a minute in 462 00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:52.800 after Donovan Mitchell hit a ridiculous Logo Lillard like three pointer to start the third 463 00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:55.920 quarter. But listen to this, the Clippers trailed by twenty five. Tonight 464 00:38:57.039 --> 00:39:01.360 was the largest comeback in a series clenching in over the last twenty five seasons. 465 00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:07.840 Nobody had even come back from twenty plus down to win a series in 466 00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:13.519 that span. Entering tonight, the Utah Jazz were two thirty two and one 467 00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:19.320 over the last twenty five seasons, win leading by twenty five points or more. 468 00:39:20.320 --> 00:39:25.519 That one would be the Clippers. Who plays one who just continue to 469 00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:30.119 fight. Someone called him the cockroach. Clippers. You can't kill him, 470 00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:37.280 you can't. Oh what a victory tonight, Clipper Nation. Let's get back 471 00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:42.719 to your phone calls Danny and Pico Rivera, Danny, Danny is gone, 472 00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:49.280 Greg and Vinzara, Gregar Clipper Stock, Hey, Adam, you and Noah 473 00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:53.400 do a great job every night. I really appreciate that. We appreciate you, 474 00:39:54.760 --> 00:40:02.920 Adam. The curse of Donald Sterling is broken. It is defeated and 475 00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:09.280 we are going on to the finals. And what a great game. I 476 00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:15.320 can't remember listening to a game, Adam where a team was down twenty five 477 00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:21.960 and came back and won the game. That that is a tremendous victory. 478 00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:24.639 And Adam, I don't know if you remember, but about three or four 479 00:40:24.719 --> 00:40:29.679 weeks ago, and I'm not trying to, you know, pat myself on 480 00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:32.159 the back, but I said to you that I think the Clippers had the 481 00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:38.679 deepest team of all the league. And look what happened tonight. I mean, 482 00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:46.280 what a tremendous performance for for Terrence Mann and the fact that these guys 483 00:40:46.360 --> 00:40:52.880 can come back that Kawhi Leonard and and blow out the opponent. It's a 484 00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:59.159 tremendous tribute to this team and how they play and how they pull together. 485 00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:05.159 And I'm I'm just pleased as hell. So that's all I have to say, 486 00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:07.400 Adam, say Greg, thank you for the phone call, Thanks for 487 00:41:07.480 --> 00:41:14.920 the love. It was a thirty seven point turnaround in the last twenty three 488 00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:17.880 minutes. Of the game. And oh yeah, Terrence Man, who had 489 00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:22.880 twenty of his thirty nine points on fifteen of twenty one shooting where he hit 490 00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:28.639 seven three pointers. Those are all career highs for him. But it's a 491 00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:32.880 Clippers playoff record. Those twenty points in the third quarter. No Clipper has 492 00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:38.639 ever scored that many points in a quarter in the playoffs before Kawhi at eighteen 493 00:41:38.760 --> 00:41:43.840 in Game two against the Dallas Mavericks in the first quarter. Those were the 494 00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:49.800 most points he had scored individually in a quarter in the playoffs before Terrence Man, 495 00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:54.280 what a man want A man want a man unbelievable but as always as 496 00:41:54.320 --> 00:42:00.880 a team effort here and the Clippers just fine ways to get victory. Let's 497 00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:07.800 go to we got oh man well and Guardina Man, Well, what's up, 498 00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:15.679 hey, Adam? To Ben Mallard, to my boy Phelippe, to 499 00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:20.119 all the Clipper fans. I want to just congratulate you guys. Man the 500 00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:25.239 hell of a win tonight. And I guess Terence proved that it's a man's 501 00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:32.239 game, yatch. I'm sure Bob Schment will use that for a promo anything 502 00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:38.519 else? Man Well? Or was that the mic drop there? Pam and 503 00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:43.320 Temple City. Bam. You called in last game or the game before a 504 00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:45.559 couple last week before. You were kind enough to give me the title of 505 00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:50.599 that wonderful we could be great. And if you could give me also the 506 00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:53.079 artist because I haven't been able to find it and I appreciate it. But 507 00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:57.119 what I wanted to say is a shout out to Caleb. In a while 508 00:42:57.519 --> 00:43:01.039 my family was simp Cocaoga Falls and Acri. A shout out also to Zach. 509 00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:07.239 He's so kind and embracing you. I think he remembered that I was 510 00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:12.239 asking you about Terrence. So why Terrence were so scarce? Well, here 511 00:43:12.320 --> 00:43:15.800 he was, and why did he make the difference? You know, I 512 00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:19.679 wonder if if Gobert would have been Defensive Player of the Year, if he 513 00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:22.559 had to face the Clippers all the time, could we sure got through him? 514 00:43:22.639 --> 00:43:28.119 And you know, Tie you, I just can't say enough about him, 515 00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:32.800 his presence, his calmness, and his strategizing. And I think those 516 00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:37.320 Clippers aren't afraid because they're not afraid that if they take bad shots they're going 517 00:43:37.360 --> 00:43:42.079 to get barrashed or yell that he just knows exactly what to do. And 518 00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:45.079 I just can't wait I think there's comeback was amazing. Like you said, 519 00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:50.280 I can't wait for Sunday. I love you guys, I love the Clippers. 520 00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:53.519 It's been a long time. And congratulations now well you congradulate and everybody 521 00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:58.159 else, congratulations for you too, and thanks for a lot. God bless 522 00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:04.639 you guys. Bam and Simple City, congratulations to you. Congratulations to Clipper 523 00:44:04.719 --> 00:44:14.760 Nation. You're entering uncharted territory. Welcome to the Western Conference Finals. Amara 524 00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:17.320 in La. You're up next year on Clippers. Stop without am masson him. 525 00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:23.679 Hi. We're just driving back to the State from Center and the energy 526 00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:30.880 in that stadium was absolutely crazy. I mean we were high fighting, screaming 527 00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:36.159 on our feet the entire time, and voided Clipper Nations show up. I 528 00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:38.599 just wanted to say that here we go, Arizona, baby, Let's go 529 00:44:38.719 --> 00:44:43.599 Clippers. Thank you for the phone call. You know, there was a 530 00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:49.360 play that will be ignored because the basket ultimately wasn't made, but the fact 531 00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:53.880 that Paul George tried to throw it down on Rudy Gobert and almost had it 532 00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:57.480 just hit the back iron a little bit too hard. I don't think it 533 00:44:57.599 --> 00:45:01.079 was deflected. To start off the four quarter to ignite this team. It 534 00:45:01.239 --> 00:45:06.880 was incredible. I still think it inspired guys. As our leader, He's 535 00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:13.039 going right after Rudy Gobert, and then Reggie Jackson started to take acrobatic layup 536 00:45:13.119 --> 00:45:20.559 after acrobatic layup on Gobert. Just unbelievable. All right, I do want 537 00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:25.639 to hear from the head coach Tlu, who deserves a ton of credit as 538 00:45:25.679 --> 00:45:32.519 our caller Pam gave him. But I just admire the fact that his willingness 539 00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:40.760 to adjust and to play and let guys run when they're hot, when it 540 00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:45.119 looks like they can't miss a shot, to let a second year player like 541 00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:52.159 Terrence Man start in place of Kawhi Leonard, it was unbelievable. Here was 542 00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:57.400 Coach Lou postgame, the orchestrator of the two oh comeback and back to back 543 00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:00.840 series or O two comebacks and back to back series. Here was your head 544 00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:02.320 coach I for Los Angeles Clippers, who just will help lead them to the 545 00:46:02.360 --> 00:46:06.679 Western Conference Finals. Speaking with the media and TI, it's kind of a 546 00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:08.800 two part question here, but like you know, you've been to so many 547 00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:13.440 of these these spots here before, but have you ever heard I mean, 548 00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:15.599 maybe with the exception of Game seven when you win the finals. Have you 549 00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:19.800 ever heard a crowd that got into a second half like this now? Listening 550 00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:22.440 all all all year. You know Ramono from the first two series. You 551 00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:25.559 know, Downs had all their fans, Utah had all their fans. But 552 00:46:25.639 --> 00:46:30.239 our crowd was unbelievable to now, even when we got down, they stuck 553 00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:32.960 with us. They gave us energy. We fed up in positivity, and 554 00:46:34.559 --> 00:46:36.480 who could have done with all our fans. I'm telling you, if we 555 00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:38.440 have our whole building here today walking the way he did, it have been 556 00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:42.320 a tough game for us to win. Does it Does it feel pretty kind 557 00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:45.840 of appropriate that a kid like Terence fan Is has thirty nine points of the 558 00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:49.440 game, Like maybe he doesn't feel the weight evolve everything that that just happened 559 00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:52.039 here tonight. You know, Ramono has been happening all year. You know, 560 00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:54.159 well, guys go down, Guys step up. You know it could 561 00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:57.719 be anybody's night, you know, Terence Man, you know, we get 562 00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:00.159 we talked about it our closest staff, just you know, keeping the confidence 563 00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:04.320 and shooting the basketball. You know, after Game five, like you're forty 564 00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:07.000 percent three point shooting, they're gonna leave you open. If we get to 565 00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:09.000 the paint, Rudy's coming and you're gonna get open shots. And for him 566 00:47:09.079 --> 00:47:13.039 to come in a big game like this and step up and make seven threes, 567 00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:15.079 I mean it was huge for us. But having a confidence, you 568 00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:19.159 know, trusting his work, I mean it was it was unbelievable to see 569 00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:22.320 that. Tonight. It's next we'll go to Candice Buckner. Hey, Ti, 570 00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:25.679 hopefully you can hear me. You've been in the city for a long 571 00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:30.519 time, a lot on the other side of this hallway, But how would 572 00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:37.800 you describe just the makeup of a Clipper fan in the city. They've been 573 00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:39.679 starving, you know, starvings by success. You don't have a lot of 574 00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:43.800 good teams and just call it, you know, a lot of bad breaks. 575 00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:45.400 And we know when Kali went down, you know, didn't fight, 576 00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:49.199 thinking the same thing over and over again. So when CP got hurt, 577 00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:52.519 but Blake got hurt, and with our team, I'll just tell you, 578 00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:54.800 you know, they just don't quit. They keep fighting, They keep repeating, 579 00:47:54.880 --> 00:47:58.000 and I think our fans love to see that. This year, like 580 00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:01.159 we never gave in, never pointed to Inger, never you know, pointing 581 00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:04.639 to blame on someone else. We looked in the mirror. We owned it 582 00:48:04.719 --> 00:48:07.360 and we moved on. And I just tell you, just a TOBAL team 583 00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:10.760 member all season long, all playoffs long, different rotations, you know, 584 00:48:10.880 --> 00:48:15.440 starters not playing, you know, starters playing, you know Pat Baby not 585 00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:17.519 playing last series and didn't come in this series and change the whole series for 586 00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:21.400 us. So you know, it's a TOBAL team member and we're all a 587 00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:22.960 war. We're trying to win and our team is willing to do whatever it 588 00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:29.800 takes to win. Thanks next to Ty, What did you say to them 589 00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:31.760 when you when they're down twenty five early in the third quarter. I mean, 590 00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:35.480 you guys have done come back after come back down O two, down 591 00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:37.960 oh two. First team to ever do that, have to come back in 592 00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:39.920 two series this postseason. But when you're down twenty five and the third what 593 00:48:40.000 --> 00:48:43.960 did you say to them? Just continue to keep trusted, you know what 594 00:48:44.280 --> 00:48:46.480 we've been doing all series long, all season long. You know about in 595 00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:50.480 the first half, we took a lot of bad shots. We didn't touch 596 00:48:50.519 --> 00:48:52.679 the paint, and we took some bad shots, but at half time we 597 00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:54.440 just talked about when we get into the pain, you know we can get 598 00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:58.239 any shot we want. We know Rudy's coming to help, and guys are 599 00:48:58.280 --> 00:49:00.239 gonna be open all around the floor. So don't take it personal. Don't 600 00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:04.000 take the one on one battle. If you can't get to the paint swinging, 601 00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:07.000 slip out the next guy. Viving in basketball, when we get into 602 00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:08.679 the paint, we can get shots. And I think you saw it in 603 00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:13.119 the second half, you know, scoring eighty one points and I think having 604 00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:15.559 I'm not sure I'm been assisted in the second half. I think nineteen assisted 605 00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:19.400 in the second half. But were moving to basketball and we've just trusted what 606 00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:22.239 we've been what we've been doing all season, and U ty PG just said 607 00:49:22.320 --> 00:49:25.280 that it feels like the monkeys kind of come off the clipping back a little 608 00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:29.800 bit. You you were just talking about how how starved this fan base is. 609 00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:32.320 Does it feel like maybe some of all that bad luck from the past 610 00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:37.199 is kind of dissipating. Yeah, tonight. I mean just seeing our fans 611 00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:39.519 and how they stayed to the end and how they would cheer, and it 612 00:49:39.639 --> 00:49:42.760 just, you know, it just feel good. It was a great feeling, 613 00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:45.599 you know, And like I said, a team been starving for some 614 00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:47.960 success. The fan base has been doing the same thing, and you know, 615 00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:52.199 to me, I just you know, I always look at it differently, 616 00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:53.320 Like, you know, I know the Lakers are out and there's a 617 00:49:53.360 --> 00:49:57.119 lot of Laker fans here, but once the Lakers are gone and we're not 618 00:49:57.159 --> 00:49:59.239 playing the Lakers, you should be cheering for the Clippers. And that's just 619 00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:02.519 how I feel, because all one city and I can just feel to love 620 00:50:02.599 --> 00:50:08.079 and you know, I'm just very happy, damn straight, Coach lou Well 621 00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:13.519 said there at the end. The Clippers win by twelve in a game they 622 00:50:13.559 --> 00:50:17.280 were down by twenty five in in Game six. They're moving on. They're 623 00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:21.239 advanced into the Western Conference Finals for the first time in the history of this 624 00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:25.440 franchise. And while we credited coach lou earlier, it starred with Steve Ballmer. 625 00:50:27.360 --> 00:50:30.119 I do want to talk about this front office a little bit and Lawrence 626 00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:36.239 Frank, who doesn't get nearly enough recognition even though he won Front Office Executive 627 00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:40.719 of the Year last season, but his staff Michael Winger, Mark Hughes, 628 00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:46.760 Trent Redden, of course the logo Jerry West. Think about this. They 629 00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:53.400 found two guys on vet minimums in Nicholas Batoum and Reggie Jackson, who wasn't 630 00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:59.559 even with the Clippers at the start of training camp, and they're both starting 631 00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:06.159 in the playoffs and coming up huge and integral part of this Clippers team. 632 00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:10.320 They're part of the corps and they wouldn't be here without him. And this 633 00:51:10.480 --> 00:51:16.679 front office has just been brilliant. It's unfortunate that Sergebacca, because I think 634 00:51:16.719 --> 00:51:22.000 that was a perfect fit for this team has been dealing with that back injury. 635 00:51:22.079 --> 00:51:24.960 He's out for the season, wasn't able to play much. But they 636 00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:30.360 go out and find a Marcus Cousins who has given them big minutes at times. 637 00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:35.440 Pat pat this season has given them huge minutes. Patrick Patterson, he 638 00:51:35.679 --> 00:51:39.679 started the stay ready movement. He's been saying it for years. Stay ready, 639 00:51:39.719 --> 00:51:45.000 don't have to get ready, just to add water. During the regular 640 00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:46.880 season when he came into games, he would just catch fire out of nowhere 641 00:51:46.920 --> 00:51:52.400 at times, and it permeated throughout the team and it became a matra and 642 00:51:52.760 --> 00:52:00.280 Terrence Man started to do it. Luke Kennard and this Clippers team finds ways 643 00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:04.039 to win and just found their way into the Western Conference Finals for the first 644 00:52:04.079 --> 00:52:14.440 time in franchise history. But the job is not done. They want more. 645 00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:19.400 I saw quotes from Reggie Jackson saying we're hungry, and you could see 646 00:52:19.440 --> 00:52:22.480 it when he saw the finish line approaching in this fourth quarter, knowing they 647 00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:32.760 were this close, he just was relentless go into the basketball. Incredible season 648 00:52:34.320 --> 00:52:39.679 so far, Clipper Nation not done. They start the Western Conference Finals in 649 00:52:39.840 --> 00:52:45.400 Phoenix. Game one is on Sunday, twelve thirty. Tip time, Well 650 00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:50.320 off, Clippers count down right here at eleven thirty eight m before we get 651 00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:54.119 out of here.
