1
00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:06.120
Time for a postgame. Look,
it's your La Clippers. This is Clippers

2
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:09.880
Locker Room, brought to you by
Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of

3
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:15.000
the La Clippers, and by Patschonga, official travel casino of the LA Clippers.

4
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:19.199
Breaking down today's action with the pre
and post game voice. If you're

5
00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:25.359
LA Clippers, They're locking in every
game, every night. Adam Osland the

6
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:33.000
Clippers make it seven straight twelve wins
out of their last fifteen ball games as

7
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:36.920
they take down the Knicks tonight at
Crypto dot com. Areno. One forty

8
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:41.560
four to one twenty two. Welcome
in your postgame show. I'm Adam Oslin

9
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.640
coming up. We got second half
highlights. We'll have Clippers stock for you

10
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.640
on an five seventy LA Sports if
you want to get on early eight six

11
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:54.320
six ninety eighty seven two five seventy
eight six six nine eighty seven two five

12
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:58.240
seventy. You know they say New
York is the city that never sleeps,

13
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:02.200
but the Clippers put them to bed
midway through that fourth quarter there. Carlow

14
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.719
and the young guys even got some
run, but it started with the starters

15
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:11.159
and Kawhi and the level of domination
he has been at over the last couple

16
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.040
of weeks. Not just great for
him, great for anyone. He is

17
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.879
doing historic stuff right now. He
has been so good at him sixteen shots

18
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:25.799
to get to thirty six points.
That is absurd. That is absurd.

19
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:30.200
The claw has been so good.
He's playing at another level right now.

20
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:34.159
Everything he does is the right play. Every shoot he shoots, every shot

21
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.560
he shoots is the right shot,
Every pass is the perfect pass. I

22
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:42.319
mean, he just makes the perfect
play every single time and does it on

23
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:46.280
the defensive end. For this Clippers
team, He's really sending the tone for

24
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.840
There's a lot of talk right about
needing to take the regular season a little

25
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.480
more seriously is something that was talked
about around this Clippers team. Kawhi is

26
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.799
taking every game so seriously, and
his teammates are following in order and doing

27
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.599
exactly what he's doing on every play. It feels it's not just games but

28
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:07.000
possessions. Right now, everything by
this Clippers team just seems to be at

29
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.520
an all time level. They are
completely locked in and focused on offense,

30
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:15.080
on defense. Shots are falling from
the outside, they go sixteen to thirty

31
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.439
three from distance, end up shooting
fifty seven percent from the floors. Kawhi

32
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:25.000
was at seventy five percent by himself, but the James Hardened effect in twenty

33
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:31.280
eight minutes, ten points but twelve
assists to one turnover, tell me it's

34
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:35.960
not working. I mean, what's
unbelievable, Adam. Is this a guy

35
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:40.400
who could easily walk in here tonight
and score thirty points and have fifteen assists.

36
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:44.319
But that's not what they needed.
They needed him to be a distributor

37
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:47.360
tonight with PG back on the floor, and that's what he delivered with those

38
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:51.719
twelve assists. Back to back double
doubles for the first time this season for

39
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.439
James Harden and the minutes are what
I love looking at this box score thirty

40
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:59.360
for Kawhi, thirty one for PG, twenty eight for James. Guys didn't

41
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.280
put heavy minutes on their legs,
and with a grueling road trip coming up,

42
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:06.360
they're gonna need it in the future. Paul George, you mentioned him

43
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.759
there, eleven of eighteen from the
field after getting off to a slow start,

44
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:15.360
but ends up with nineteen points in
the second half. And while we

45
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.639
have a moment before we extol the
virtues of Paul George, even further,

46
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.319
Let's pause ten seconds for station identification. Here on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio

47
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:30.479
network, this is LA Clippers Basketball
AM five to seventy KLAC Los Angeles,

48
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:36.280
ninety eight seven KYSRHD two Los Angeles
and iHeartRadio station. It wasn't just the

49
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:40.599
scoring for me, Carlo, but
the activity level, the athleticism from PG

50
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:46.960
thirteen, losing his defenders on multiple
tough jumpers. He looks more than healthy

51
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:51.479
that hip injury. It took him
one game that he was out and he

52
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.840
looks back back. If you know
what I mean, And if there's a

53
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:57.319
play you want to go watch to
see what we're all talking about. Russell

54
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.360
Westbrook leading the break, leave it
off, the Leonard off of one leg,

55
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:06.159
jam home, a little elevation sensation
from the claw through the sky.

56
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:15.319
This is a Kawhi Leonard who's playing
at a All NBA an MVP like level.

57
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:17.560
I don't think there's any conversation about
that. He is one of the

58
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:23.360
best in the league right now and
continues to motor this offense to win after

59
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:28.319
win after win, and Paul George
joined him tonight with the way he played,

60
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.160
he fit in after a slow start
in that first half was fantastic and

61
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.079
kept Kawhi Leonard on the bench in
that fourth quarter. Yeah, he was

62
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:40.079
excellent. A lot of his work
in the third quarter continued to help out

63
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:44.160
that second group. Who's a plus
twenty six tonight. Only if eachsa zubatch

64
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.759
was a better plus minus PG thirteen
eighteen shots to get the twenty five points

65
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:53.959
going with seven assists for Paul George
only two turnovers. Clippers were excellent at

66
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:59.439
taking care of the bass bottom six
turnovers tonight, and now they embark on

67
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.959
a top off road trip coming up, starting on Monday in Indiana against the

68
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.240
Pacers. They'll be in Indiana,
then in Dallas against the Mavericks, and

69
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:13.759
then OKC before they return home before
Christmas on December twenty third to face the

70
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:17.959
Boston Celtics. Here, big one
coming up on Monday, and you talked

71
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.879
about it during the broadcast. I
mean we could say it already, Daniel

72
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:27.439
Tice revenge game coming up against the
Indiana Pacers. I cannot wait. He's

73
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.920
gonna have a little extra juices going. You know, PG is gonna get

74
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.959
up for that game. The Clippers
are on their way, They've they've road

75
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:39.319
the sigh seas. The wind is
on their backs. But now you're heading

76
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.879
to a little bit of a test, a little storm on the road.

77
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.839
You've beaten the Warriors, the Nuggets, the Jazz, the Blazers, the

78
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:47.000
Kings, the Warriors, the Knicks. Those are a lot of good teams

79
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.399
in that mix. Now can you
do it away from home? We're about

80
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:56.079
to find out. They got their
stoic captain in Kawhi Leonard head coach Lou

Leadingham. Glippers win tonight a season
high one hundred and forty four points.

00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.120
They win one forty four to one
twenty two over the Knicks. They make

83
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:09.639
it seven straight twelve of their last
fifteen. You're listening to your Clippers postgame

101
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:27.920
it was something special from the two

and goes in. Paul George gives
it up. Leonard open west wing.

Three bottoms Leonard from downtown. Leonard's

152
00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:01.559
arena, welcome into Clippers Talk.
I'm out of Mosland Clippers winners of twelve

153
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:09.639
with their last fifteen since the new
starting lineup. Who told you they needed

154
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.120
to do that? I don't know. A guy eight six six nine eight

155
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:18.600
seven two five seventy eight six six
nine eight seven two five seventy is the

156
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:24.559
phone number coming up here on Clipperstock. We'll have Will Updike on from Clips

157
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:26.440
and Dip. You'll hear from the
head coach and Kawhi Leonard post game.

158
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.480
Nobody's hotter than him right now in
the NBA. Nobody's playing better than Kawhi,

159
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.000
and Kawhi hasn't looked this good.
What did I tell you last show?

160
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.759
Since he tore his acl since twenty
twenty one in Game four in the

161
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:50.360
second round against the Utah jazz I
tried to tell you Kawhi Leonard he's back.

162
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:56.840
This is him, the burst,
the explosion, the elite two way

163
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:01.559
superstar, the guy who was being
called the best player in the game after

164
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:05.320
he won with Toronto in twenty nineteen
in the NBA Finals over Golden State.

165
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:11.679
That guy is back and then some. The guy who was compared to Shack

166
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:16.279
with the numbers he put up in
a first round series against the Dallas Mavericks

167
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:22.080
in twenty twenty one where all his
shots were from fourteen feet out Shacks from

168
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:28.159
four in the two thousand finals,
and only Kawhi Leonard was shooting over sixty

169
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:35.039
percent in a series like Shaq was. That's how good he's been. Put

170
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:39.200
him in the MVP conversation. Talked
about that the other day. He's played

171
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.240
all twenty five games so far this
season. The Clippers are now fifteen to

172
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:48.559
ten. They have dug out of
losing six in a row and now they've

173
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:56.799
won seven. This is one of
the most impressive stretches of Clippers basketball in

174
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.200
the two to one to three era. They're not just winning, they're dominating,

175
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:07.320
and they're doing it over great competition. That's what's so impressive the Knicks

176
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:16.440
tonight, the Warriors, the last
two, the Denver Nuggets, a team

177
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:24.960
they couldn't beat at beating the mate
straight, the Kings twice. This Clippers

178
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:35.200
team, being led by Kawhi,
is looking like a contender again. And

179
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:41.360
it's no coincidence that it's happened since
they brought in James Harden, who a

180
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:52.279
lot of people were either indecisive about
are unsure of. All this is four

181
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:58.000
team last three years. Well,
guess what, the fit's perfect, Just

182
00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:03.279
like many of us that it would
be. He and I said this from

183
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:09.320
day one will unlock the best version
of two to one three. And wouldn't

184
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:15.000
you know, Kawhi Leonard looks better
than ever. Thirty six points on sixteen

185
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.120
shots tonight, five of six from
the outside. But the defense to on

186
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:24.159
Julius Randall, He's doing it all
to be this efficient while giving that effort

187
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:31.240
and that level of elite defense on
the other end is absurd. You're watching

188
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.679
something that has happened very few times
in the National Basketball Association right now.

189
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:43.000
In fact, I'm trying to put
this in perspective to see how historic this

190
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:50.240
run is from Kawhi shooting this well
sixty three percent from the field, sixty

191
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.679
percent from the outside, ninety percent
from the free throw line in his last

192
00:15:54.759 --> 00:16:03.519
nine games. He's him. He's
still that number one option that finals MVP.

193
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:11.639
He can get them to the Promised
Land with a little luck, a

194
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:18.120
little good health. And as they
continue to build up this chemistry with this

195
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:23.840
new Clippers team, they are scary. Scary hours are here. They're back

196
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:30.720
at Crypto and the opposition is starting
to feel it. Paul George was back

197
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.759
tonight. He had twenty five nineteen
of his twenty five in the second half,

198
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.519
tough buckets in the fourth quarter to
put the Knicks away, where the

199
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:45.120
Clippers eventually rolled out Brandon Boston for
the first time this season, Josh Primo

200
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.679
for the first time as a Clipper. Kobe Brown, who looks to be

201
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:55.000
out of the rotation now as a
mere Coffee's just been too darned good.

202
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.840
He ended up playing sixteen minutes tonight, coming off starting and helping them get

203
00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:04.759
that victory over the Golden State Warriors
on Thursday. Xavier Moon was out there

204
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:11.680
late. This Clippers team just comes
at you in waves. They helped extend

205
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:18.880
the lead. Clippers led by as
many as thirty two. Terrence Man knocked

206
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:25.000
down a couple of three pointers tonight, turn one down and then the next

207
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:30.880
possession took it on the right wing. Love seeing that there was a timeout

208
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:36.759
in between, and it looked like
he made the adjustment. Avitza zubats thirteen

209
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:44.960
and eleven, basically what he's been
averaging over the last fifteen games since they

210
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:52.119
went to the new starting lineup.
But James Harden a system, thus system,

211
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:57.400
whatever you want to say. He's
a connector. He's doing whatever is

212
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:02.319
asked and whatever is needed. Paul
George is out cool. I'll get twenty

213
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:07.200
eight fifteen, seven boards, four
blocks, a stat line that's only been

214
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.839
put up once by Lebron James in
twenty ten, all while getting the twenty

215
00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:18.319
five thousand career points. Did that
Thursday tonight twelve assists, just two of

216
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:23.200
six shooting. He took six shots. Do you understand the level of sacrifice

217
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:29.599
here? This guy used to average
twenty five shot attempts with Houston. Literally

218
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:34.960
that sounds like a gross exaggeration or
some extreme point. No, he literally

219
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:44.559
did this. Clippers team is rolling, the defense is leading to offense.

220
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:53.279
Clippers had twenty fast break points and
all the pieces are fitting give coach lou

221
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.440
all the love deserves it. He
said himself, this'll be his toughest coaching

222
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:06.799
job. You got four stars,
guys who have won MVPs to get them

223
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:11.920
all to buy in, and Russ
coming off the bench and sacrificing like this.

224
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:17.799
He had a put back on a
missing traffic to start. He saved

225
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:19.759
a ball from going out of bounds
to PG for a layup at the end

226
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:23.720
of the third, and then he
had a couple of bad takes I didn't

227
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:26.480
like in the third quarter, but
then he went right to the rim,

228
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:33.640
bodied Brunson into the third, and
then once more in the fourth. Then

229
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.960
a steal guy to PG and Transition
who looked like he was losing the basketball

230
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:41.920
and somehow got it in on the
layup. Anyways, a great feed to

231
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:47.160
Tice who missed the gimme, and
then Russ taffed it in. He's becoming

232
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:49.839
that hard and hustle, energy spark
plug guy off the bench, a sixth

233
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:56.480
man. He's adjusting his game.
He and James Harden, both of them

234
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:02.839
playing completely different than they have throughout
their entire careers. They're sacrificing. They

235
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:07.839
see the goal they want to win. A championship as Clippers back in so

236
00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:15.240
Cow. This is special. It's
one thing to talk about it buying in

237
00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:19.759
sacrificing, it's another through your actions. Russell Westbrook played just fifteen minutes.

238
00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:27.200
Did he look dis Gruntold's sideline cheering
on his guys. No, and this

239
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:33.440
role suits him. He comes off
the bench, shot out of a cannon.

240
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:40.160
Love the way he's playing, Love
the way Daniel Tyson is playing.

241
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:45.160
He was matching Hartenstein. That was
a great Mortal Kombat like mirror match.

242
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:49.839
Those two have similar skills. They
were battling, and this was a game

243
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:55.200
that almost had some playoff like vibes. There was an edge and attitude out

244
00:20:55.240 --> 00:21:00.640
there. After Big Zoo in the
first quarter dunked on Jericho Sims. The

245
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:07.480
walls of Jericho came falling down.
It looked like it got testy. Julius

246
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:14.720
Randall got into it with Terrence Man, got a tech Kawhi. Leonard would

247
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:18.079
hit the free throw and then go
right back at Julius Randall the very next

248
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:22.559
possession for an and one. Josh
Hart got ejected. In the first half.

249
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.240
You got two tea's like nothing.
This was old school blood in the

250
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.720
garden like attitude from the Knicks.
I like it. It raised the level

251
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:38.559
of play I think from the Clippers. They met them emotionally out there.

252
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:47.599
The competitive juices were flowing. And
this Clippers team, it's twelve and three

253
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:51.519
in their last fifteen games with the
new starting lineup, and Kawhi Leonard looks

254
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:56.680
like the best player in the NBA
right now, best player of December so

255
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.759
far. Christmas came early, I
guess. I hope he keeps it going.

256
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:06.359
As long as he's moving like this, that's all that matters. That's

257
00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:11.039
everything, that's what gives them a
chance to win the championship. Kauhi is

258
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:17.119
your number one option. Everybody else
falls in line, and this guy looks

259
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.319
as laser focused as I have ever
seen him. They're not taking games off,

260
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:32.119
they're not taking possessions off. They're
competing every single possession on the court,

261
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:37.759
and it shows when you win one
forty four to one twenty two over

262
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:40.920
the Knicks. Quick time out.
We'll get to your phone calls next eight

263
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:45.480
sixty six nine eight seven two five
seventy eight six six nine eight seven two

264
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:51.279
five seventy. Clippers have won seven
in a row. They just had a

265
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:59.359
three and four swept that here at
home and then beat the Knicks on a

266
00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:03.160
Saturday night. This is some of
the best ball in the two and three

267
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:08.720
era. We have seen Clipper Nation
enjoy it. Now they gotta take it

268
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:12.160
out on the road. Three tough
ones coming up next week. More on

269
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:18.039
that here on Clipper Stock on a
five seventy LA Sports. LA Clippers basketball

270
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.160
is on the two to one three
era continues. You're listening to the La

271
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:26.319
Clippers on the LA Clippers audio network. You know, it was just about

272
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:27.839
three weeks ago. People were telling
me, oh, Kawhi is washed,

273
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:33.920
he doesn't look right. So I
went to the tap. I went and

274
00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:41.680
checked on his lift. I went
back to twenty seventeen Game one Western Conference

275
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:47.119
Finals, Spurs are taking on the
Golden State Warriors, the Zazap Peculia game.

276
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:52.680
Kawhi was going off Zaza with the
cheap shot rolled his ankle. But

277
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:57.440
before that, I put a picture
of the lift on his jumper, and

278
00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:03.720
I did a side by side against
Kawhi with the Lakers this season when he

279
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.759
had thirty eight in that game that
went to overtime. The lift looks the

280
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:12.759
same. He was just missing shots. How many times you can get fooled

281
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:18.519
by Kawhi Leonards slowly easing into the
season, and then he hits the runway

282
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:26.240
and just takes off jumbo jet even
though he looks as spelt as ever.

283
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:34.079
Unbelievable performance last nine games from Kawhi
Tonight, thirty six on sixteen shots,

284
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:38.279
Clippers win one forty four to one
twenty two over the Knicks. Here at

285
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:41.839
Crypto dot Com arena, a lot
of calls to get to bow in La.

286
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:47.880
You're on Clippers stick with out of
Maaza. What's up? Bo Bo

287
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:57.240
Bo knows Kawhi is good? If
not Bo Demetrius in Manhattan Beach. You

288
00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:04.559
doing got you to hear me?
Yeah, we really excited. I think

289
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:10.680
me and you had the conversation on
that Denver game when we when they had

290
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:15.640
that lopsided loss with Denver. But
I'm telling you, and I've been telling

291
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:19.039
everybody, all my sports guys,
everybody been throwing dots at the Clipper.

292
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:23.079
But I want to put it out
here today on National on the National Radio,

293
00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:29.640
that Kawhi Leonard is back to his
Toronto game plan and even much higher

294
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:33.240
on another level. I mean,
we get what he's doing. I mean,

295
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.680
if he's averaged thirty. When he
averaged thirty, the Clippers are forty

296
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:42.559
three and eleven, the best in
the game. And that's and that's over

297
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:48.920
Boston with Tatum and Jason Jalen Brown. That's over everyone. And so I'm

298
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:53.599
just explaining everybody right now, and
I'm just gonna say this, Kawhi Leonard

299
00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:59.119
should be one of the top front
If he continued to play like this,

300
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.839
not only would he win the MVP, but let's start talking about something that

301
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.720
hasn't been done since Michael Jordan.
It's been in the game, and that's

302
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.240
the defensive player of the war.
He has played elite defense. They calling

303
00:26:11.359 --> 00:26:17.160
on him on a variety of different
guards. He's guarding guards, forward,

304
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:19.920
senate, you name it. He's
fresh, he's ready to go, and

305
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:23.640
he's playing with a serious chip on
his shoulder. And so to all the

306
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:29.400
media out there, to all the
sports media that said this guy is garbage

307
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:33.039
and this and that, you getting
a chance to see this guy at a

308
00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:37.359
serious, elite playing talent right now. I'm very excited about the Clippers.

309
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:40.960
I know I'm not going to go
on and limb. I know they're going

310
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:45.920
on the road. I will pick
our team on the road going against Indiana,

311
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:49.319
and Indiana has been playing up and
down, but again it's still dangerous

312
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:53.160
at home. And then you got
OKC who actually beat dinvererenth Night came back

313
00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:56.319
and then we got a tough Dallas
team. But I'll tell you this,

314
00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:04.640
R three with hardin A Kawhi,
Leonard, Paul, George Zubat if Terence's

315
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:10.640
man starting five, hyl have figured
it out. I like this team.

316
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.960
Our only problem has been availability.
When they are available, look out.

317
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.880
I like them in the West.
I don't care who's in the West or

318
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:22.799
in the East. If this team
played the way they've been playing and they're

319
00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.440
available at the end, I like
the Clippers to pick up the ring in

320
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:32.640
the new arena this upcoming season.
I love it. I love the energy.

321
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:40.240
Demetrius great phone call, and I'm
with you. This Clippers team is

322
00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:45.640
scary the way they're playing. With
this new starting five, they've been at

323
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:52.599
a different level. Credit coach Lou
he got Russell Westbrook to buy in coming

324
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.720
off the bench. He's playing well. James Harden has been a perfect fit

325
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.359
once you got him and Russ away
from each other in the starting lineup.

326
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:06.440
Who are a fucking unbelievable run by
the Clippers. Right now, they got

327
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:10.200
to keep it going. It's gonna
be a tough three game road trip.

328
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:14.160
Uh bow in La. I think
we got you now, okay man.

329
00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:18.000
So last time I called you it
was funny because it was it was out

330
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:19.599
to the Denver game. I just
left the game this game as well,

331
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:23.559
and it was obviously we all know, the worst game and basically of the

332
00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:27.920
season, maybe last couple of seasons. Yeah, And and I was waiting

333
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:30.559
and went and talk and I'm like, oh my god, it was depressing.

334
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.720
I'm done. This is bullshit,
Like you know it was. It

335
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.599
was just a lot of going on, a lot of emotions and now calling

336
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:40.519
you back right seven games in a
row, You're like, whoa, this

337
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:44.200
is happening. And I just wanted
to bring some point off, like you

338
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:48.160
said, being in the arena,
just like the chemistry going at a good

339
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:52.039
parents man dabbing each other. Everybody
was like super stoke, super excited.

340
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:56.119
It was amazing to see leaving.
The last game I went to was a

341
00:28:56.200 --> 00:29:00.720
Denver game, and this is the
second game like night, and so I

342
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:04.519
can tell you're excited. I appreciate
the phone call. Bo. There's a

343
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:11.319
lot to be excited about with this
team. But this new starting lineup with

344
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:18.720
fourteen games together, because remember Paul
George wasn't there Thursday night, They're shooting

345
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:26.759
fifty three percent from the floor and
forty three percent from the outside with James

346
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:30.039
Harden next to Terrence Man with two, one three in a beats to Zubots.

347
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:40.480
They have been extraordinary and Terrence Man
is just coming around offensively. I'm

348
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:44.359
telling you this guy who battled for
a board in the second half and then

349
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:48.000
put it back in. When he
starts knocking down three, it's like he's

350
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:52.200
capable of and tonight was a good
sign two or four from the outside.

351
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:59.279
It's just gonna make him even better. And they haven't even spammed the starting

352
00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:03.400
lineup two more much or overwork guys
or played them too much. But it's

353
00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:06.160
there when they need it. And
then, oh you need more offense,

354
00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:11.200
Norram pollin for Terrence Man. With
the other four, it's been beautiful.

355
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.839
Let's go Lenny and Inglewood. Lenny, you're on a gloper. So with

356
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:18.759
that, I'm also what's up?
What's up? Adam? Now just bear

357
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:22.079
with me for a minute, man, because I'm gonna say some things But

358
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:29.319
that's a great point Demetris made about
Kawhi doing what Jordan did when he won

359
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:33.000
the defensive because that hasn't been done
since Jordan. We won the m v

360
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:37.720
P and BEFO. He's right,
He's right. This dude is has like

361
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:42.240
you said, he's shutting down pick
and rolls. He's holding Steph Curry,

362
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:48.680
he's holding the kid from Denver out
standing. He's doing Jeordian type stuff.

363
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.319
Well let me say this, man. Last year, I remember I was

364
00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:56.799
on you when I said that they
weren't playing with a chip and they and

365
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:00.799
you were like, we got time, we got time. And guess what

366
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:03.480
they're playing with a chip this year. And I said another thing. I

367
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:10.359
said, nobody's scared of us.
But this this team and the dude,

368
00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:15.519
the Vincenzo after he hit his four
to three, he wasn't even celebrated.

369
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:18.880
They were scared, man, because
guess what they know. It's not enough.

370
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:25.240
It's not enough because they're older team
and opposing coaches are telling their team

371
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:29.359
we got to get them early.
We got to get them early, because

372
00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:33.640
that was always the knock against the
starting out is that we would get down

373
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:37.920
early. But now we're not getting
down early. We're coming out ready and

374
00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:41.960
now we get that. You know, when you work out, you get

375
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:45.240
it takes you like twelve fifty to
get that lather going. That's what we

376
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:48.480
need. We need twelve minutes to
get that lather going. And when we

377
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:51.480
get that ladder going, we're good. The muscles are relaxed, and we're

378
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:56.960
good. And Harden, I mean, at this point, man, he's

379
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:01.160
got a home. And if if
Clipper Nations needs to put together a go

380
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:06.200
fund Me account to get some of
his his favorite ladies from them clubs in

381
00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:10.039
Houston, Steve Bomini's arranged that because
he needs we need to give all the

382
00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:15.640
creature comforts that he needs in La
because he's got a home. Man,

383
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:22.519
you cannot be yeah, right,
but check it out. You cannot be

384
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:27.839
a West Coast team and not have
a point guard who can who can create

385
00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:30.839
separation and nail that three in the
fourth quarter. It just ain't happened,

386
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:35.920
Captain, it just ain't gonna happen. And Harden, there was a point

387
00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:38.200
in the third quarter when when Nick
thought they were wood us, and they

388
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:42.720
were, and then and then they
started knocking down them threes. They started

389
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:49.480
knocking them down It's amazing to me
how many people devalued shooting at the point

390
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:53.039
guard position. And I'm not trying
to make it a Russ versus hardened thing.

391
00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:58.160
It's working. But the reason,
yes, if I don't know how

392
00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:01.599
you couldn't see that, Hay,
it hurts your floor spacing. When you

393
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:06.799
have a non shooter out there,
you already have one of the Viasa zoobots

394
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:09.519
with the starters, when you have
two with Russell Westbrook, that just makes

395
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:14.079
things so much more difficult for Kawhi
and Paul George. And now we're seeing

396
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:19.960
the floor being open and Kawhi just
getting to his spots. They're playing less

397
00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:24.839
iso ball with James Harden. Yes, yes, And like I said,

398
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:29.839
man, now's his other thing.
I'm still out here. People start their

399
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:36.599
morning, they go to Starbucks.
Why Adam to get coffee? Coffee needs

400
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:37.880
to be a starter. I'm telling
you, well, no, no,

401
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:40.480
I'm not taking anyone out of the
starting lineup. You don't need to be

402
00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:44.559
a starter. He just needs to
play. Hear me out. This dude

403
00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:46.799
is six seven, He can hit. He can hit the like I like.

404
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:50.880
Man, don't get me wrong,
Man is the man is? You

405
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:52.839
know? Keep the kid in the
picture. We get it. He keeps

406
00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:59.119
what I'm telling you once again,
on a on a West Coast contending team,

407
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:01.640
you we need. Man's got to
get his points up. We need

408
00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:05.839
twelve to thirteen points in a two
guys spot. He's got to get this

409
00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:08.039
point they got. Well, here's
the thing, Lenny, you have him.

410
00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:12.559
He's next to Kawhi, Paul George, and James Harden. How much

411
00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:15.440
does he really need to worry about
scoring? What he does is guard the

412
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:21.719
other team's best player early on until
you sit Kawhi on him late in the

413
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:24.079
fourth quarter. So he's not gassed. Because Terrence Man has taking up that

414
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:30.639
assignment. They got three elite scorers
in the starting lineup. I mean,

415
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:37.679
James Harden's taking six shots and they're
winning by twenty two. I'm not worried

416
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:42.880
about Terrence Man. I what he's
doing defensively and all the other other little

417
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:46.719
things he does. I think he's
perfect for this starting lineup because anybody else

418
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:52.760
might demand more shots, Terrence Man
doesn't. He embodies that selflessness too.

419
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:59.840
That's true. That's true. Well, I just hope that they can get

420
00:34:59.880 --> 00:35:02.800
it to the point where Tyler was
coaching that all Star Team. Man,

421
00:35:02.800 --> 00:35:07.079
he deserves it and the team deserves
it. I hope that they can just

422
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:09.679
I'm not scared of nobody on this, on this, on this, on

423
00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:14.360
this street game thing. I think
that the only thing is that Dallas teams

424
00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:16.719
that Dallas. We have a thing
that goes back with Dallas. But that

425
00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:22.320
was the old, the old squad. I think I think, you know,

426
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:24.440
if we can get two out of
three, I think we're good.

427
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:30.480
But if we can just get to
the half the All Star Game and get

428
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:34.719
Tyler with a chance to coach the
All Star squad, I think that would

429
00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:37.920
just be beautiful. Man. Look
I'm I'm with it, Lenny. I'm

430
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:40.840
with it, and I appreciate the
phone call. They got much bigger goals

431
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:47.360
on that much bigger. The position
they're in is it's about winning a chip,

432
00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:52.559
and they are playing with a chip
on their shoulder right now. It

433
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:58.599
looks like when Kawhi and Paul George
weren't playing last season, they were hurt,

434
00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:01.159
they were out, and then they
make them the poster board or poster

435
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:07.599
boys of this new player participation policy, guys who have been legitimately hurt.

436
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:13.280
Kawhi's coming back off a tour ad
acl last year, Paul George numerous injuries.

437
00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:17.199
If they could have played, they
would have played. Now they're healthy.

438
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:22.880
That's the difference. Talked about with
Carlo Jimenez earlier. But when I

439
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:28.000
brought up to him that this is
one of the best runs that the Clippers

440
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:30.960
have been on the two win three
era, he wisely pointed out, well,

441
00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:36.840
yeah, we've gotten twenty four of
the first twenty five games with Kawhi

442
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:42.239
and Paul George playing next to one
another. It just hasn't happened, not

443
00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:45.119
enough. They've been elite when they've
been out there, they just haven't been

444
00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:47.800
out there together enough. All right, quick time out, will come back.

445
00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:51.559
More phone calls Kawhi Leonder post game, big brother Jake Warners in the

446
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:54.440
house. You know what's coming haight
six six ninet eighty seven two five seventy

447
00:36:54.480 --> 00:37:00.760
eight sixty six nine eight seven two
five seventy Stay up for this one,

448
00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:04.599
Clipper Nations. The lights are going
off here at Crypto dot Com Arena.

449
00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:08.119
They shot the lights out. They
put up one hundred and forty four points.

450
00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:10.920
I mean, I know, New
York's the city that never sleeps,

451
00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:16.199
but Saturday night in La we can
keep it popping too. Clippers make it

452
00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:20.760
seven straight twelve of fifteen, and
you're listening to clipperstock. You're already MPI

453
00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:27.199
seventy LA sports every Clipper game all
season long. They didn't stop playing hard.

454
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:32.480
You're listening to the LA Clippers Audio
Network streaming on the iheartradiolab. You

455
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:37.960
can find me at Crypto dot com. Mareno, you'll find the Clippers moving

456
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:42.519
up the standings in the Western Conference
right now. They just leaped a couple

457
00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:46.599
of teams. There's sixth currently at
fifteen and ten, four and a half

458
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:51.920
games back of the Minnesota Timberwolves currently
in the number one spot. There's a

459
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:54.199
lot of room to maneuver, though. When you win seven in a row,

460
00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:59.800
longest winning streak right now in the
NBA, that'll happen. Clippers are

461
00:37:59.840 --> 00:38:04.480
one twelve and fifteen after they win
one forty four to one twenty two over

462
00:38:04.719 --> 00:38:07.280
the New York Nicks. Welcome back
in the Clipper sotock. I'm at a

463
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:13.880
Maslin Sean, Sean Inglewood, what's
good, Sean? Hey? It was

464
00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:19.239
good? My friends. Hey,
damn Martin, that was good. Twenty

465
00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:22.519
five out of twenty six games.
We had our guys together. Remember when

466
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:29.800
they first came together and everybody just
said automatically, the championship will be there,

467
00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:34.800
and we had nothing, but you
know, injuries and injuries. And

468
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:37.760
now that they're together, they're looking
really good. It took a while for

469
00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:42.760
them to get to this point,
but they do look like they can contend

470
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:46.960
for the championship. I'm really happy
about that, and I'm really happy about

471
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:52.199
the veracity that they started with.
They came out to kill the Knick,

472
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:55.800
not to play the Knicks. They
were slammed, dunking on them, they

473
00:38:55.840 --> 00:39:00.079
had a lot of injury, imagy, and they had just a lot of

474
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:04.760
fighting them in the beginning. I
know you saw that, and it's just

475
00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:07.119
it was just really nice to see
because there was sometimes when they looked like

476
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:13.719
they played last year to the level
of the competition, and today they just

477
00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:16.440
came out to just really just give
them a licking. And I hope it

478
00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:22.760
continues. And I'm looking forward to
the next four games, especially against Boston,

479
00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:25.800
because that's going to really be a
proving ground, and I think they

480
00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:30.760
can play with anybody this year now, and just to think, what's the

481
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:35.719
difference, why can't they play with
they win this year because they Finally they

482
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:38.599
got their continuity, and you still
have you know, you're still waiting them

483
00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:43.320
plumberingly come back. It was good
to see Brandon Boston come back. Sir,

484
00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:49.960
you say something good about James Harden
or what I said? Something good

485
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:52.920
about the whole team. And I
already told you I'm okay with Harden being

486
00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:58.480
here. Now it took a while. Oh, here's a good thing.

487
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:04.679
Here's a good thing. Okay,
he's not holding the ball and dribbling the

488
00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:08.000
ball too much, Sean, Who
told you that was gonna happen? Who

489
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:13.000
told you that? You guys haven't
been watching the last couple of seasons.

490
00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:17.639
You haven't been watching him. This
isn't Houston. He played next to Katie

491
00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:22.239
and Kyrie, he played next to
the MVP and Joe l Embiid. He's

492
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:28.599
been doing this. It's impressive to
watch. I appreciate the phone call,

493
00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:30.880
Sean. He did make some good
points on the attitude. Early in the

494
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:38.119
first quarter that Kawhi Leonard dunk with
the left hand in transition. I think

495
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:45.159
it was off a pass behind the
back from Russell Westbrook and initiated first by

496
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:51.320
Daniel Tice poking out a rebound.
Who I love on this team, and

497
00:40:51.400 --> 00:40:52.800
I just didn't know where it was
at. Physically, I liked him in

498
00:40:52.800 --> 00:41:00.320
Boston, but that left handed dunk
by Kawhi on the fast break trailing Russ

499
00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:07.800
it reminded me of the donkey hat
on Giannis in the Eastern Conference Finals in

500
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:17.159
twenty nineteen. It was just forceful, nasty, and of course he's dead

501
00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:22.760
pan, walks back the other way
and gets back on defense like nothing happened.

502
00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:28.440
When the entire place got up and
the ooze and the os from Clippers

503
00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:34.400
fans and Knicks fans in the building
after that one, that may have been

504
00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:39.760
Kawhi Leonard reintroducing himself to everyone.
Mike. He's been doing the last three

505
00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:45.639
weeks of just hey, I'm still
that guy. This is me, I'm

506
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:51.880
here. But what he's doing right
now on both ends, I can't say

507
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:57.440
enough. Kawhi is spectacular and he's
your number one option. And Paul George

508
00:41:57.480 --> 00:42:01.360
was good tonight with this twenty five
points coming back. Love seeing just some

509
00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:07.800
of the shaken bake, tough buckets, tough one off the backboard on Barrett,

510
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:13.480
a high archer in the third quarter
two, but when he went around

511
00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:21.480
r J Barrett in the fourth quarter, I think it was. It was

512
00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:29.039
definitely late third, early fourth for
a three pointer. Just the handle that

513
00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:30.920
he has the ball on a string, it's unbelievable. We'll take a quick

514
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:35.239
time out, we'll come back,
we'll wrap things up. Clippers win one

515
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:39.480
forty four to one twenty two over
the New York Knicks. I'm just saying,

516
00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:46.079
let the apology be as loud as
the disrespect was with James Harden.

517
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:55.800
That's the rule, right you If
you were somebody that called in like Sean

518
00:42:55.880 --> 00:43:01.519
saying you didn't want them, and
now they won seven straight in twelve or

519
00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:07.760
fifteen, I just I need a
little bit more love for James and this

520
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:12.239
Clippers team. Right now, I
met Amazin. You're listening to Clippers socke

524
00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:30.920
Here at Crypto dot Com, Marena
Kawhi Leonard had thirty six on sixteen

525
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:37.320
shots. Here he was postgame on
Ballet Sports. Kawhi thirty six points tonight.

526
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:38.920
You've been hot all season long?
How are you able to get the

527
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:44.480
job done on a defensive end?
Tonight? We started off playing well defensively,

528
00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:47.800
got out in transition, got some
open looks, and you know that

529
00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:52.320
I got to start it talking about
defense. Coming into this game, you

530
00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:55.360
knew it would be physical. Jalen
Brunson had a hot night yesterday. How

531
00:43:55.360 --> 00:44:00.920
were you guys able to contain?
Just showing a crowd. He's a great

532
00:44:00.920 --> 00:44:02.960
point guard, could get to a
spot very well, and he's been shooting

533
00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:08.000
the ball great all year, So
just showing a presidence in the gaps when

534
00:44:08.039 --> 00:44:13.280
he's driving in trying to contest his
last home game for a little while.

535
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:16.599
What do you take from tonight with
you on the road, Just our defense

536
00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:21.880
got to start off on our defensive
end first, and you know that's going

537
00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:25.559
to help us on the road.
Well. This Clipper's new starting lineup,

538
00:44:27.079 --> 00:44:34.559
their defensive rating is one oh seven. That's real good to put that in

539
00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:39.039
perspective for you. With the level
of defense they've been playing the last fifteen

540
00:44:39.159 --> 00:44:44.719
games. The best defensive rating in
the league is one oh six by the

541
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:52.679
Minnesota Timberwolves. Clippers' new starting lineup
at one seven, but Kawhi Leonard setting

542
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:57.000
the tone a significant one on the
defensive end. Before we get out of

543
00:44:57.039 --> 00:45:00.159
here, we got big Brother Jake
Warner, Big Brother Jake Podcast, the

544
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:02.880
podcast work. He is the fake
philosopher and I think he has some positive

545
00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:08.079
moments for us. Always always here
we go. Always remember, never reply

546
00:45:08.239 --> 00:45:13.519
when you are angry, never make
a promise when you're happy, and never

547
00:45:13.559 --> 00:45:16.800
make a decision when you're sad.
Is this about me and Sean? It

548
00:45:16.920 --> 00:45:22.000
might be, just might be.
Calm Downbud, I love Sean Inglewood.

549
00:45:23.039 --> 00:45:28.440
Hey, look, you gotta come
correct after the smack you talked about James

550
00:45:28.440 --> 00:45:31.039
Harden. I'm sorry, but the
run the Clippers are on and he is

551
00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:36.039
one of the biggest reasons why they're
winning games Right now. Can you see

552
00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:44.440
the vision Clipper Nation starts with Kawhi
Leonard. Let's hope hopefully it ends somewhere

553
00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:50.360
in June Clippers win by twenty two
over the Knicks. Before we get out

554
00:45:50.360 --> 00:45:53.239
of here, I do want to
thank the Clippers organization. Ralph Lawler,
