WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:06.559 Time for a postgame look. It's your La Clippers. This is Clippers Locker 2 00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:10.039 Room, brought to you by Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of the 3 00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:15.000 La Clippers, and by Patchonga, official travel casino of the LA Clippers, 4 00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:19.600 breaking down today's action with the pre and post game voice. If you're La 5 00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:25.839 Clippers, they're locking in every game, every night, adam Ousland. You 6 00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:31.440 won't see many better playoff games than that. As you heard here with Carlo 7 00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:35.840 Jmenez. The Clippers were up by thirty one, they were down in the 8 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:40.000 second half, just to pull through late thanks to fifteen and the fourth from 9 00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:46.159 James Harden. In an insane step back shot of the season three made by 10 00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:51.439 PG thirteen Paul George, they win without Kawhi Leonard in Game four one, 11 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:55.520 sixteen to one to eleven in Dallas, and this series is tied up at 12 00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:00.200 two games a piece. Welcome into your Clippers Locker room show, and I'm 13 00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.520 Oslin coming up on the Patriot Am eleven fifty. We'll have Clippers top for 14 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.560 you eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five to two 15 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.719 zero eleven fifty. But first back out to American Airlines center with Carlo Jimenez. 16 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.200 Carlo, we knew Dallas would make a run. I did not know 17 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.760 they would run it all the way back to being up in this ball game 18 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.599 and making the Clippers have to show that heart late, and boy did they. 19 00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.319 James Harden coming through and Paul George, after struggling in the second half 20 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:32.000 with one of the biggest shots of his life, I mean a possession at 21 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:34.719 him in which the Clippers almost turn it over, the Bonn goes out of 22 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:36.920 bounce. George has in the right corner. Thing, all right, he's 23 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:38.680 got a chance. Eight on the shot clock, he can size up. 24 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.159 He doesn't wait till the shot clock drips down. He just says, oh, 25 00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.079 a corner three with a negative angle to the rim. Yeah, I'll 26 00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.840 throw this into the air and down the well. Oh my goodness, what 27 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:55.920 a shot from Paul George and the Clippers guarantee you game five and six with 28 00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:01.239 a gritty, gritty win. And it was just impressive because the mental fortitude 29 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.760 of this team, Adam, it's second to none. I mean, think 30 00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.159 about the things they have gone through this season. Down twenty six late against 31 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:12.840 Cleveland. Also didn't have Kawhi Leonard. You come into today. Leonard's not 32 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.159 playing. After you get beaten in game three, your backs are against the 33 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:20.360 wall, your up thirty one, life is good. And then Kyrie Irving 34 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.439 can't miss and he has one of the greatest performances down the stretch, plus 35 00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:28.159 ten points in the second, the third, and the fourth quarter. He 36 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:34.240 finishes with forty. But the Clippers never got phased, they never looked worried, 37 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:38.000 and they got it done. Man, what a game by the Clippers. 38 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:43.120 They executed while on the offensive end down the stretch. Playoffs are about 39 00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:49.000 superstars making plays, and the superstars for the Clippers made plays today. And 40 00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.479 I got to shout out some of the role players too, because Mason Plumbley, 41 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.039 I certainly wasn't sure if he was even going to play in this ballgame 42 00:02:55.080 --> 00:03:00.120 after his performances in game two and three, and he finished with a team 43 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.159 high plus twelve in this ballgame and made huge plays early in the fourth quarter, 44 00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.400 first catching a lob and then finding Russell Westbrook for an easy one. 45 00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:13.560 The others did their part as well, but as you mentioned, James Harden, 46 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.560 the Bearded Wonder fifteen of his thirty three on just seventeen shots in the 47 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:23.800 fourth quarter. Just float floater after floater after floater. This is an area 48 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.800 where he had struggled all season long. He had been shooting about thirty five 49 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.599 percent from five to nine feet out. But when he needed it most, 50 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:36.599 it was there for him. Carlo. I mean the James Harden floater at 51 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:42.000 him kept the Clippers afloat in this series. It was heroics from him down 52 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.439 the stretch. They just went to him. I sat up late, But 53 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.520 is the system. This was the system and the Clippers couldn't be happier to 54 00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:57.000 have the system on their side. He was the guy down the stretch for 55 00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.000 the Clips. It was easy. It was over the top of the Dallas 56 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:05.840 defense and it got it done late fifteen in the fourth for the Beard. 57 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:12.120 So good for this Clippers team. They just they did everything right today on 58 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.719 that offensive end, and it shows in the box score. You shoot over 59 00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.240 fifty percent, you get eighteen threes, you knock down twelve of your eighteen 60 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:23.600 free throws, twenty nine reven You got me, they got I'll remind it 61 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.319 by thirteen in this game, Adham. But you still come away with a 62 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.759 five point win, and all that matters is you're heading home to Game five 63 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.480 with the series. Even that's what we said coming into this two game stretch 64 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:38.920 man Clippers come back series, even you're feeling good. They check that off. 65 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.439 Now it's best of three times for the Clips, best of three and 66 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.600 they could possibly have two of those games in downtown Los Angeles. Game five 67 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.920 is coming up on Wednesday night back at Crypto dot com arena. Tip off 68 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:57.279 is that seven. We'll have your pregame shows starting at six as this series 69 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:01.279 is tied up at two games apiece. Kyla men is great call, fantastic 70 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.920 call, beautiful call, wonderful call. Never heard a call like it. 71 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:10.439 We'll see at Crypto on Wednesday. My friend Adam as in Happy birthday and 72 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:14.920 let's go see you Wednesday. You know, I didn't say my wish because 73 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:16.759 that's bad luck. But I think at this point it's okay. A Clippers 74 00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:20.199 victory. They got it, They come through, they hold on after being 75 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:24.879 up thirty one to get the victory one sixteen to one eleven in Dallas over 76 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:28.800 the Mavericks in game four. And you're listening to the Los Angeles Clippers Audio 77 00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.720 Network, let's go back to more of the NBA playoffs on the LA Clippers 78 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:40.079 Audio Network. Clippers Mavericks continues now stream us anywhere you go on the iHeartRadio 79 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:44.639 appo. Let me wipe the sweat for my brow. As the Clippers, 80 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:48.839 led by thirty one, were down in the second half but pulled through late 81 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.480 with a one to sixteen to one to eleven victory, and this best of 82 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.800 seven first round series against the Dallas Mavericks is tied up at two games apiece. 83 00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:01.040 Welcome back into your Clippers postgame locker room show. I'm Adam Oslin coming 84 00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.800 up on the Patriot AM eleven fifty. We'll have Clippers stock for you. 85 00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:08.639 Eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. Eight seven seven five to two 86 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:15.199 zero eleven fifty is the phone number the Clippers at the half after leading by 87 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.600 well as many as thirty one, as I said, it was down to 88 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:26.959 just seventeen points as Kyrie Irving had a perfect second quarter where he had twenty 89 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:31.360 points and didn't miss a shot, and from the research we saw nobody had 90 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:36.120 ever done that before Kyrie Irving got scorching hot. Luka Dancic hasn't looked right. 91 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:41.600 He's been dealing with a knee injury too. And Irving ended up with 92 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:46.800 forty points, but the Clippers. They got their scare. That run that 93 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:53.360 we expected to happen eventually did. The Dallas Mavericks are just too talented. 94 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:57.120 They were gonna make a push, and by the end of the third quarter 95 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.720 it was eighty two to seventy eight. Is the Clippers outscored twenty nine to 96 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:06.600 sixteen in those twelve minutes coming out of the half. But in the fourth 97 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:13.680 to start things off and throughout the entire quarter, it was James Harden going 98 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.160 straight, float, goat with it. Harden on the right wing, defensive 99 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:23.680 chance exploding, James dancing, euroing, floating, finishing, Clippers back up 100 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:28.000 to hardened deep on the left side. Shot clock reads ten four O eight 101 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:31.319 to go, tied at one hundred. Harden on Tanci flies by left the 102 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:35.680 floater off the window. James Harden with four in a row. James at 103 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:40.040 the logo dribbles to the right hand hip high. He's got the last four 104 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.519 switched on my Cleva with four seconds attacks the paint on another lefty lamp and 105 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:49.399 he puts it down. James Horden taking Dallas to school on a Sunday afternoon. 106 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:55.160 James left the logo pounding the leather with a left hand switched on by 107 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:59.480 Washington, holds the ball at the right hip with twenty six on the night, 108 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.639 dribbles down the right alley the lefty floorter the foul got it hacked in 109 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.839 the act hooping the horm. Horden being the hero for the Clippers, hornon 110 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:13.759 left wing flies by Washington, another floater. Oh my goodness, James Horden 111 00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:24.000 giving Dallas nightmares. James Bleepin' Harden, what a performance. Finished with thirty 112 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.920 three points, had fifteen of them in the fourth quarter, just continued to 113 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:35.600 attack and hit a shot he had been struggling with all season long. Speaking 114 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.799 of struggling, after having twenty six points in the first half, Paul George 115 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:45.080 only had two in the second half until he hit what I think was the 116 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.279 shot of the season, the shot of the playoffs so far. The degree 117 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:54.440 of difficulty on this three from Paul George. Late, Harden finds George on 118 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.120 the right block, lost it, saves it as he tight ropes the big 119 00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.919 sliine in the near corner. Went ten to shoot working on Derek Jones Junior 120 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:07.600 with seven sight step right corner three hits. Paul George bitou bucket Clippers retake 121 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:13.799 the lead one o seven to one oh five. The audacity to take that 122 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.120 shot after he was struggling, toughest shot he had all night, and he 123 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.080 knocked it down. I said, it was a legacy game coming into this 124 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.039 one for Paul George. Well, he performed, he met the moment, 125 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.480 and that I believe was the biggest shot of the ball game, the biggest 126 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.799 shot of the season so far for your Los Angeles Clippers. James Harden would 127 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:41.639 continue to hit floaters down the stretch. The Clippers hit their free throws and 128 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:45.039 they go on to win after leading by thirty one, one sixteen to one 129 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:50.080 eleven in Dallas over the Mavericks. The series is tied up at two games 130 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.120 apiece final box Who were coming up next? Here on the Los Angeles Clippers 131 00:09:54.159 --> 00:10:01.240 Audio Network streaming Clippers basketball the first round of the NBA Playoffs continue Sick to 132 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:07.840 more NBA Playoff basketball right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Tied at 133 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:13.399 two to two, Clippers win Game four by a final score of one sixteen 134 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:20.200 to one eleven. They led by thirty one. Coincidentally, I think well 135 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:26.200 we played in Clippers rewind in the pregame show an hour before tip off, 136 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:33.159 the Clippers thirty one point come back, the biggest in playoff history from twenty 137 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.360 nineteen. And I was sitting here going no way, no way, are 138 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.919 they going full reverse? And it's happening to them now, this kid not 139 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:48.679 happened, And PG thirteen and James Harden late and even big Plumb, everybody 140 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.840 got into the act. Refuse to lose this one. Without Kawhi Leonard, 141 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:58.519 they hung on. They hit big shot after big shot, James Harden with 142 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:03.320 fifteen in the fourth quarter, and they would win by five in Dallas. 143 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.360 In Game four, Paul George had thirty three and the most ridiculous three point 144 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:13.360 shot of the playoffs so far, considering the situation, considering he only had 145 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.879 two points in the second half at that point, knocked it down from the 146 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:22.200 corner. James Harden fifteen of his thirty three in the fourth quarter, floater 147 00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.879 after floater, seven assists, just two turnovers. The Maps had seventeen, 148 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.440 the Clippers just thirteen. The Clippers ended up with eighteen three pointers. I 149 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.799 thought after Game one they weren't gonna be able to shoot better than that. 150 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:39.720 Turns out eighteen of twenty nine from three. That's sixty two percent. They 151 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.240 shot better from three than from two. The Dallas Mavericks fought. They had 152 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.480 Kyrie Irving drop in forty. He was missing nothing after the first quarter, 153 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:54.480 and the Clippers withstood it. And now they have an opportunity to go back 154 00:11:54.519 --> 00:12:00.240 home for a best of three with possibly two games at Crypto dot Com Arena. 155 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.679 Tip time for Game five on Wednesday is at seven.

But late they came through James Harden with fifteen 169 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.039 of his thirty three points in the fourth quarter and Paul George with one of 170 00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:13.720 the most clutch three pointers I have seen, the biggest shot of the season 171 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:16.840 when he was struggling after avage twenty six in the first half, and look 172 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:24.879 gast and the Clippers win Game four without Kawhi Leonard won sixteen to one eleven. 173 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.159 Yeah, that was a dodgeball reference to start things off. Welcome into 174 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.519 Clippers Stock. I about a Moslin to eight seven seven five to two zero 175 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:37.919 eleven fifty eight seven seven, five to two zero eleven fifty is the phone 176 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.120 number. Get to me. I follow out of may On X coming up. 177 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.600 I believe we'll have will updike on because the Clippers won. Postgame, 178 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:50.240 you'll hear from James Harden, You'll hear from Coach Lou couldn't be more proud 179 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.519 of this Clippers team. That resilient nature is still intact. One of the 180 00:13:54.519 --> 00:14:01.120 best victories in franchise history, the best of the two one three era. 181 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.639 Unfortunately, we found out about an hour before the game Kawhi Leonard wasn't gonna 182 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.279 be able to go. I think it was the right move, as I 183 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:16.240 rewatched some individual clips from him from Game three, you just can't put him 184 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:20.480 out there. I know he wanted to play. You have to protect players 185 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.159 from themselves. With how hobbled he was, with the way he was grimacing, 186 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:28.000 holding onto the rim, afraid to land after an alley oup because his 187 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:33.120 right knee was so inflamed, There's just no way. And the Clippers came 188 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:37.679 out shot out of a cannon, led thirty nine to sixteen in the first 189 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:43.000 quarter. They hit eight three pointers in the first quarter. They had eight 190 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:48.360 three pointers total in Game three, and they were hitting tough shot after tough 191 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:54.320 shot. I knew it wasn't sustainable. I knew Dallas was going to make 192 00:14:54.320 --> 00:15:01.919 a run, but I was still awe of how this Clippers team came out 193 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:07.000 ready to go, like we've seen many times before when they're down one of 194 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:13.320 the two one three connection, that first quarter was a thing of beauty. 195 00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.480 In fact, up twenty three after the first quarter. That's a franchise record. 196 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.120 Had never happened before. You hit eight threes. In fact, they 197 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:28.799 ended up going eight for eleven from three in the first That's how it happens. 198 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.559 They didn't score in the first three minutes. It was around the eight 199 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:35.360 point fifty mark where they hit their first bucket, and they went on to 200 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:41.279 score thirty nine points in less than nine minutes while holding Dallas to sixteen. 201 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:46.840 Paul George had sixteen points by himself with that first quarter. My god, 202 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:52.159 I said it was a legacy game coming in and PG thirteen is out there 203 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:58.919 clowning PJ. Washington with his arms crossed after Washington was doing the I guess 204 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:03.320 standing on business pose after he got into it with Russell Westbrook and they were 205 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:11.480 both ejected in Game three, and Paul George starts taunting the crowd. But 206 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:17.480 there was one issue. Luka Doncers had ten points in the first okay, 207 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:23.279 but Kyrie Irving was oh for three. He would hit eight of his next 208 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:30.600 nine shots. I believe he cleared the second quarter, did not miss a 209 00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:37.320 shot in the second quarter. Kyrie Irving, I don't know if that's accurate 210 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.559 or not, because I'm seeing the first half box score at one point. 211 00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:47.600 He went eight for nine from the second spanning into the third quarter. Again, 212 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:52.279 in that first quarter, Kyrie Irving was oh for three with zero points 213 00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:59.440 and he finished with a forty ball. The Glippers have to had to withstand 214 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.680 that, and that is how a team can come back down thirty one. 215 00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:11.240 Kyrie Irving just gets and goes nuclear, gets hotter than the center of the 216 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:15.680 sun. And the Clippers looked a little bit gassed after the first half early 217 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:22.519 in the third quarter, and in fact they were down in this ballgame in 218 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:29.799 the fourth. I'm almost glad it happened. I think you learn more in 219 00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:38.279 situations like this to win a game and come through after you're down one oh 220 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:45.839 five, one oh four at the two fifteen mark of the first quarter, 221 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.799 when the fourth quarter, excuse me, after being up by thirty one early 222 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:53.200 on in the first half, and you pull that game out still and right 223 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.559 after that, out of a time out, Paul George hits that three pointer 224 00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:03.759 to put him back up by two. They never look back. Insane, 225 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:07.680 Insane. One of the wildest games playoff games, not just for the Clippers 226 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:14.559 anyone, for team to come all the way back down thirty one to have 227 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:19.799 a lead and then for the Clippers to respond late with a big shot after 228 00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:26.599 big shot from James Harden, floater after floater and not blow it and not 229 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:37.720 fold and shows some real toughness and mental toughness and fortitude out there and will 230 00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:45.640 James Harden was willing them to victory in that fourth quarter at times fifteen of 231 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:48.640 US thirty three points. Just kept going back to the floater. He couldn't 232 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:53.920 miss. Just go to it. They can't stop it, keep going there. 233 00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:59.240 Get Luka, Donci john Ya go after him. He doesn't look right 234 00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:03.359 either with a knee. Twenty nine points, but twenty four shots to get 235 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:08.839 there. James Harden had thirty three on seventeen shots. And how about a 236 00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:14.319 guy was critical on Mayson Plumley for his last two games, led them in 237 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:19.000 the plus minus category a plus twelve, and played big minutes into the third, 238 00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:25.880 into the fourth, caught a lob, found Russell Westbrook for an easy 239 00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:30.680 layup. Russe was just two of eight knocked down a three early and that 240 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:34.200 layup off the feed from Mason Plumbley after Russ found him for a lob. 241 00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:44.079 Proud of big plumb fourteen minutes your plus twelve, huge, huge Terrence Man 242 00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:48.160 three of six from the outside, and the defense he has played in this 243 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:55.920 series on Luka Doncics is just spectacular. Lucas definitely dinged up, but Terrence 244 00:19:55.960 --> 00:20:02.079 Man has never looked better with this point of attack defense. Ever. They're 245 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:07.759 right now. Clippers just won Game four without Kawhi Leonard. They win by 246 00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.359 five. They had led by thirty one. They almost gave it up. 247 00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:15.440 And while we have a moment, let's pause tense econds for station identification. 248 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:21.759 Here on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio network, this is LA Clippers Basketball AM 249 00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:30.279 eleven fifty k e ID Los Angeles and iHeartRadio station k Newton for the reminder 250 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.720 once again, boys, you have to get some highlights in the fourth quarter 251 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:38.720 of this one. So what else do you want? All of them? 252 00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:42.039 I need them all. I have to get them all, like collect them 253 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:48.880 all. It's too incredible. It's too incredible. The shot making in the 254 00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:53.559 fourth quarter, the high degree of difficulty shot making by your Los Angeles Clippers, 255 00:20:53.720 --> 00:21:00.920 countering everything Dallas was throwing at them, with Kyrie Irving just making insane 256 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.559 layups with three defenders around him. There's nothing you can do about that stuff. 257 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:10.799 Kyrie was due for a game like this. He had it, and 258 00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:15.200 the Clippers was stood it and won. Anyways, forty points in three quarters, 259 00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:22.640 My god, James Harden wouldn't let it happen. Paul George and that 260 00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.519 three after being down one, when they were up thirty one, wouldn't let 261 00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:30.720 it happen. Paul George was seven to ten from three eight assists, two 262 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:34.720 four steals, the rear view contest and the block he had on Kyrie Irving 263 00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:41.960 in the fourth, What a block. I'm damn proud of this team. 264 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:51.319 It is not easy to overcome the loss of your superstar again and Kawhi Leonard. 265 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.599 I don't know when they found out, obviously earlier than we did, 266 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:02.920 I'm sure, but it was official an hour before. It can be deflating, 267 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:10.480 demoralizing. Here we go again. Why I can't stay healthy? And 268 00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:18.279 then to give up a thirty one point lead and to not fold, to 269 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:26.119 not let Dallas complete the comeback. That is incredible. Heart. We'll take 270 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:27.400 a quick time out. We'll get to your phone calls here on the Patriot 271 00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:32.839 A eleven fifty eight seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven 272 00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:37.440 five two zero eleven fifty is the phone number. I really thought it was 273 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:44.160 gonna be reversal fortunes from twenty nineteen where the Clippers had the biggest comeback and 274 00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:48.839 playoff history down thirty one. Dallas almost did it to them, but no 275 00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:52.920 Clippers coming back home tied up at two games apiece. They got the split 276 00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.599 in Dallas Game five Wednesday night back of Crypto. I'm at a Maslin and 277 00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:00.880 you're listening to the Patriot A eleven fifty, the Mavericks and the Clippers. 278 00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:07.119 This is the NBA Playoffs on the LA Clippers Audio Network, stream us anywhere 279 00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.880 you go on the iHeartRadio app. Clippers. Can't be losing my birthday now. 280 00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:15.920 Can't be giving up a thirty one point lead after we played the thirty 281 00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:22.000 one point comeback they had against the Warriors in twenty nineteen. Wo Yeah, 282 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.400 I was sweating it a little bit on Tilt, was texting Brian Seaman. 283 00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:33.279 Had to let him know postgame that I thought I had the jinks in during 284 00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:38.279 the ball game playing the Clippers rewind of them in the thirty one point comeback 285 00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:42.319 with that Landry Shammitt three pointer in Game two against the Golden State Warriors back 286 00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:47.079 in twenty nineteen, and it almost happened to the Clippers, but no. 287 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:53.799 James Harden came through six made buckets in the fourth quarter fifteen US thirty three 288 00:23:55.279 --> 00:24:00.279 in the fourth Paul George biggest shot of the season. They're down one after 289 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:06.640 giving up a thirty one point lead, and he hits a three pointer tightly 290 00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:12.319 contested after tiptoeing the baseline and somehow not stepping out of bounce. Now that's 291 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:17.880 the muscle memory to just get right back into his shooting form and get that 292 00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:19.960 to go out of a timeout. Insane shot. Welcome back in to the 293 00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:23.759 Clipperstock. I'm out a Masland eight seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty 294 00:24:23.759 --> 00:24:26.680 eight seven seven, five to two zero eleven fifty when the Dodgers are on 295 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:32.799 a five to SEVENYLA La Sports will be here on the Patriot AM eleven fifty. 296 00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:36.200 Let's start things off with Javier and the hobber Heights because he called, 297 00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:38.039 I think before the game was even over.

So 302 00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.759 I guess I gotta face it head on, right. It ain't It ain't 303 00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.839 about me. It's about the Clippers getting this victory. Baby, Yeah, 304 00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.119 no, no, no doubt, no doubt. Yeah, check it out. 305 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:08.200 Remember I told you on Friday.

I mean I think they it went without him, 308 00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.359 and at this point it's just honestly, he just don't play him the 309 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:22.400 whole serious, just just keep just keep the same team and see what happens. 310 00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:26.759 Because at this point, man, I just my families. We're done 311 00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:30.160 with Hawaii. I mean, when you need this guy in the playoffs? 312 00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.559 Do you need them at him? Javier? You think you think he wants 313 00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:38.359 to be hurt. He played sixty eight games this season and unfortunately somehow he 314 00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:42.400 gets hurt at the very end because he's got bad luck. That's not on 315 00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:45.960 him, Like, what is he supposed to do? What is he supposed 316 00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.799 to do? But Adam did try so many things. They tried a load 317 00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:53.440 management and what happened two years ago he got hurt with was it the being 318 00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:56.119 serious? He got hurt?

So you think you think you're more 321 00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.480 frustrated than Kawhi Leonard Is Javier? Do you really think you're more frustrated than 322 00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:11.640 he is? It sucks, we get it. I appreciate the phone call. 323 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:21.640 I can't believe it's happening again either, But for one of the greatest 324 00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:25.200 playoff performers to be going through this at the wrong time in the season, 325 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:29.920 I feel bad for him. First, your organization, Clippers, fans, 326 00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:33.079 everybody, but it starts with Kawhi. He wants to be out there. 327 00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:41.039 What is he supposed to do? Scream at his knee, turn into wolverine 328 00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:44.000 and recover faster. I don't I don't know what he's supposed to do about 329 00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:49.240 it. So harping on that doesn't do good, doesn't do my heart good. 330 00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:55.079 It's just pointless. Damien in la Damien. What's up here? On? 331 00:26:55.079 --> 00:27:00.000 Clippers? Suck? Triple a man, Happy birthday, my clip, 332 00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.400 But what's going on with you, bro, It's a happy birthday now. 333 00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:07.839 Yeah, man, I know, I know they had your sweating bro Hey, 334 00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:11.880 cardiac clips, right, cardiac clips. I've been saying it for years. 335 00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:15.880 It's the most exciting team in the association. And that doesn't matter whether 336 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:18.920 you're a Clipper fan or not. If you're a fan of basketball, you're 337 00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:26.920 gonna see some exciting games now going forward. The thing about Kawhi certainly does 338 00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:30.880 suck. And for all of those fans who are you in the know, 339 00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:34.519 we know that this is what it's gonna be. You know, if he 340 00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.319 could do anything about his knee, it would have been done already. There's 341 00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.720 things that are going on with his knees that are beyond anybody's you know, 342 00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.319 realm of possibly helping that, And so we should definitely appreciate him while we 343 00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:48.920 have him, because it's it's a blessing. If you knew anything about what 344 00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:52.680 he was truly going through to get ready, you would know that it's a 345 00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.680 blessing to see him now going forward. I was one of the guys that 346 00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:59.720 was saying all along, we don't need to play them because we don't need 347 00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:03.119 him this series. If we can get some continuity if we could get more 348 00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:07.920 offensive output from James Harden, you know, if we could get Russ back 349 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:14.759 on track anchoring the Binch, we should be all right. I'm only worried 350 00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:18.839 about the Timberwolves and the Nuggets. That's what I think we need Kawi for 351 00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:22.039 any team, not the Timberwolves of the Nuggets. I believe that we have 352 00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:26.440 a chance to take them in a seven game series. All we need is 353 00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:32.160 a continuity. I'm happy to see it today. Appreciate the phone call, 354 00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:37.599 Damien, you drop there right at the end. Look, I agree with 355 00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:42.599 you to a point. But this Dallas Mavericks team with Luca and Kyrie. 356 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.400 You saw what it took today just to survive after being up thirty one. 357 00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:53.640 They have just as good of a shot to win this series. It's a 358 00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:56.759 coin flip. I don't know what the odds are going to say now, 359 00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:02.160 because two of the next three could be a Crypto dot Com best of three, 360 00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:07.799 and the Clippers would have game five in game seven, possibly they would 361 00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:11.200 have it back home. That's big. The way they showed up today, 362 00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:18.480 huge Russ had a big steal in the fourth quarter playing free safety. Love 363 00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:26.359 seeing that shots not fallen. Still taking some ill advised jumpers that I don't 364 00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:33.240 think are necessary. But he's done exactly what I expected on the defensive end 365 00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:37.039 in this series. I told everybody, including Mavericks fans that laughed at me, 366 00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.960 I said, he can guard Luca, he can guard Kyrie. Now. 367 00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:48.079 Nobody could guard Kyrie tonight, nobody, but Russell Westbrook has done enough 368 00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:53.799 on the defensive end to make up for some of those shots we've seen on 369 00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:56.960 the other end. And I thought that steal he had in the fourth quarter, 370 00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:02.400 the lob he had to make plumbly plumbly going back to him a few 371 00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:07.720 possessions later for a layup, that was a really big shot. Yeah. 372 00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:12.079 I don't know if they win this game without Russell Westbrook. And it was 373 00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:18.319 a big response from him, considering what happened in Game three with the ejection, 374 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:22.119 considering Stephen A. Smith just going after him to a degree that I 375 00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:26.839 think was over the top. But I guess that tracks. That's what he 376 00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:30.279 does. Uh, Marvin in Downtown Los Angeles, Marvin, you're on Clippers 377 00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:34.519 soft for that Amazon, Yeah, and that was epic, you know, 378 00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:40.559 having that win under a belt. So now are you becoming a Clippers believer? 379 00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:47.920 Now? I mean because Marvin, know what's possible is the guys who 380 00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:52.839 have put in the work. I've said, I've said that, I've said 381 00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:57.119 that the entire time. Look, I'm a realist. They're not winning a 382 00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:02.039 championship withou Kawhi Leonard. They could possibly get out of this series. They 383 00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:06.519 could possibly get out of this series without him, yes, And the two 384 00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:11.880 X factors are James Harden and also Zubox. We didn't which we didn't have 385 00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:15.920 hardened last year and then with our Kawhi, he's getting more touches, more 386 00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:22.240 freedom to be able to contribute and definitely that's helping out in the interior. 387 00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:26.759 So definitely we want Kawhi back. It's not his fault the team, like 388 00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.200 Tyler said, we got to protect him from himself. We got a new 389 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:34.359 arena next year. He's under contract, so definitely we want to have him 390 00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:37.640 speedy recovery. So we wish the best for Kawhi. But it was a 391 00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:42.319 great game, And thank you for taking my call, Adam. He's doing 392 00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:47.799 a great jobs as well as Carlos as well too, and Katie, thank 393 00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:52.000 you all right, Marvin, we appreciate it, right and burbreak what's up 394 00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:56.920 here? Glippersacked Adam Persley, Happy birthday. Happy birthday to you, good 395 00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:00.880 sir, thank you for always putting up with all of our craziness as Clipper 396 00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:05.200 fans, and leading a great postgame, pre game all of that stuff. 397 00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:07.880 So happy birthday to you. Guys put up with me too, so I 398 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:13.000 appreciate it. I do want to say this, Adam, just I mean, 399 00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:15.359 firstly, the shooting displayed in the first half was shut, I mean 400 00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:19.480 poetry. It was just the ball was moving, find me the open guy. 401 00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:22.640 That's great offensive process right there. That's exactly the type of offense that 402 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:25.599 the Clippers should be running against. The team averager. You want to put 403 00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:29.960 every single one of them on defense. You want to say, I want 404 00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:31.440 all of you to work, and you could saw it. Guys were just 405 00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:37.400 getting wide open shots. Who whoa, whoa. They hit like five threes 406 00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:40.400 where they had zero airspace as well in the first half, my friends, 407 00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:45.799 those were not a bunch of wide open shots. What Paul George was doing 408 00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:50.400 was well defended. The Norman pal three he hit falling away like this was 409 00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:54.920 crazy stuff, just high degree of difficulty shot making. Well we were oh, 410 00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:59.799 Clippers were owed that, Adam for how bad the shooting was I'm fine 411 00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:01.160 with that. Well, let's call it what it is. Those weren't wide 412 00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:06.400 open shots that I was well defended stuff, and you know the Clippers, 413 00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:10.240 they just hit them, and that happens sometimes. I'm gonna say this though, 414 00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:13.960 you you talked about Westbrook a little bit, but I think that the 415 00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:16.680 key moment in the game, Mavericks make their run. They're there in the 416 00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:22.160 in the early bit of the fourth quarter that give and go play with Westbrook, 417 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:24.000 Hardon and plumb Le. They could you could all they were moving all 418 00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:28.200 together. They didn't allow Russell just to sit on the three point line. 419 00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:30.319 He was moving without the ball, and they were getting great looks and they 420 00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:32.960 pushed that lead. I think it was what four I think at the time 421 00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.839 to eleven. So I think that was really the crux of the game. 422 00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:40.799 Right there was the bench just playing really well, giving them some breathing room. 423 00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:45.000 Mavericks obviously make another run and then Harden in just that fourth quarter. 424 00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:50.000 I mean, just cook it, just absolutely cook it. And I just 425 00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:52.240 I love the Clippers in the series, Adam. I think they win this 426 00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:53.720 thing in six. I just think that all of the cards have been out 427 00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:59.240 on the table now for Jason Kidd, There's no doubt that Luca and Kyrie 428 00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.960 will hit some shot in the next two games. I've all the expectations of 429 00:34:01.960 --> 00:34:06.960 that. But the Clippers have more scorers on their team than the Mavericks too. 430 00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:08.639 They have more guys that can create their own shots. They have better 431 00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:13.360 offensive process than just my turn, your turn, which is what the Mavericks 432 00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:15.159 are doing with this team right now. I like him in six and I 433 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:19.039 just I'm praying at him. I really am that kwhy it's gonna be okay. 434 00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:21.800 I know this's no structural damas, which is great, but God, 435 00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:23.239 we need him back. I want him back for the next series. So 436 00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:28.519 that's where we're at. I'm with you. I think it's possible. Because 437 00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:32.920 also Luca doesn't look right. He was one for nine. You have to 438 00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:37.559 take advantage of that. He hasn't had a crazy shooting game in this series 439 00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:42.760 and all so far where you just can't miss. Kyrie had one after the 440 00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:46.800 first quarter today, Luka doncas still the only three point hit was to tie 441 00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:51.480 the game. Of course, he would hit that clutch one at the five 442 00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.920 minute mark, tying it up at ninety eight. Step back over a Visa 443 00:34:54.000 --> 00:35:00.000 Zubots, but he's not moving right. You want to see everybody healthy. 444 00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:07.079 It sucks, But if a player on their side doesn't look right, you 445 00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:08.559 have to attack them. You have to go after them. You have to 446 00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:15.559 make them work defensively. And James Harden was relentless. Luca Dantis right now 447 00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:22.079 he's banged up. Clippers don't have Kawhi Leonard brand new series two to two, 448 00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:24.800 best of three. We'll take you a quick time out. We'll get 449 00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:29.480 back to your phone calls eight seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty eight 450 00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:35.079 seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty. I'm out of oslind and you're 451 00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:38.599 listening to the Patriot AM eleven fifty Fack to more of the NBA playoffs on 452 00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:45.960 the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers Mavericks continues now stream us anywhere you go 453 00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:52.199 on the iHeartRadio app. Oh Kayne Newton playing one of my favorites. It's 454 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:55.119 not about me. It's not just because it's my birthday and the Clippers won, 455 00:35:55.239 --> 00:36:00.119 and Ricky chew on X just put up a little shot. Banner of 456 00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:07.760 Clippers had a May birthday. Champions twenty twenty four. Ah, the still 457 00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:10.559 could use more Zoo. It's all about Zoo. But you know what, 458 00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:19.559 I'm not complaining. Mason Plumbley was great. James Harden was extraordinary down the 459 00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:23.639 stretch. Paul George it one of the biggest shots of his life. Prove 460 00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:31.039 it type of legacy performance. After scoring just seven and being in foul trouble 461 00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:35.920 in the first three games of the series, but only scoring seven points Friday 462 00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:38.039 night, in Game three, Paul George had twenty six of his thirty three 463 00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:42.199 in the first half. The Clippers were up by thirty one. It got 464 00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:45.199 dicey, it got scary. I thought it might be my fault because I 465 00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:49.159 played the thirty one point come back against the Golden State Warriors and the Clippers 466 00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:53.480 rewind. But no, the Clippers hold on late, fifteen of his thirty 467 00:36:53.480 --> 00:37:00.800 three points coming from James Harden in that fourth quarter floater after floater. If 468 00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:06.159 it ain't broke, spam it. Speaking of, we have some postgame audio 469 00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:13.840 from James Harden speaking with the Evil four letter after the Clippers win one sixteen 470 00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:16.039 to one to eleven in Game four against the Dallas Mavericks and the series is 471 00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:19.800 tied up at two games apiece. Here was James Harden post game because of 472 00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:22.639 James harden Beece with Lisa, I dreamed the fifteen fourth quarter points from you. 473 00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:24.800 So just how did you guys get this done? How did you were 474 00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:29.000 you able to get into the paint so much? That's the way they guard 475 00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:30.800 me. Are back against the wall. You can't go home out through one 476 00:37:30.800 --> 00:37:34.280 one to tight his back. Titus serious, I'm going back home. So 477 00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:37.880 it was odd enoughing for us since saw ted to score a basketball and make 478 00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:40.639 it difficult for Kyrie and look at Yeah. Mike Green said that Paul George 479 00:37:40.760 --> 00:37:45.000 was just brilliant in the first half. Just describe the impact that he had. 480 00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:47.239 It was aggressive, man, yes, facing you know, he didn't 481 00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:49.960 have a good game last game, so we wanted to come out of me 482 00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:52.599 aggressive square of basketball. Yeah, what we need from him? And how 483 00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:54.360 he did that? What were you guys thinking when you looked up and saw 484 00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:59.039 your thirty one point leave go on sick, keep our composure. We're a 485 00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:01.679 veteran squad, I mean, so we knew how great they were, especially 486 00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:05.119 at home. They didn't want to go back to LA with the serious time 487 00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:07.559 two sou so they gave it all they had in the second half. We 488 00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:09.639 just kept our composure, you know, kept pushing away, getting buckets and 489 00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:14.039 deficially just engaging against ups. Well, that is exactly what has happened. 490 00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:15.920 When you're going back to LA series tied at two games apiece. How do 491 00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:20.800 you carry this momentum over the game? Podcast? Jim, I forgot where 492 00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:23.119 we can get better at see what they were doing offensively and and try to 493 00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:28.039 get it a home work, get some rest. Oh my goodness. James 494 00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:31.840 Harden there with Lisa Salters on ABC post game after he dropped fifteen of his 495 00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:37.639 thirty three in the fourth quarter and the Clippers are now thirty eight and five 496 00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:43.519 when leading through three quarters. After James Harden and Paul George, we had 497 00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:45.760 forty four points combined the first half, only had two in the third. 498 00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:54.159 It was scary. I was getting sweets saying people were turning off the TV. 499 00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:58.280 They didn't want to look. They were afraid the Clippers are going to 500 00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:01.159 blow that lead. Have a melt down until will collapse. But no. 501 00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:06.880 James Harden there talked about it, didn't want to go down three to one, 502 00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:10.159 veteran ball club and he had to do the hard stuff late in the 503 00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:15.440 fourth quarter, get to the paint or die trying. His coach Louke would 504 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:16.840 say, well, take a quick time out, we'll come back. We'll 505 00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:21.199 get back to your phone calls eight seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty 506 00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:25.079 eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty.

After one of the wildest ball games you will ever see. The 517 00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:25.079 Clippers led by thirty one, they were down by one late and Paul George 518 00:40:25.159 --> 00:40:30.760 hit one of the biggest shots of his career and insane three is he was 519 00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:36.360 losing the basketball, had the balance, beam the sideline, the base lines 520 00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:38.239 and not go out of bounds, just to stick a big three pointer and 521 00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:42.239 to put them back up by two. They would never look back. James 522 00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:50.599 Harden hit six buckets in the fourth, a plethora of floaters when he had 523 00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:53.519 been shooting I think thirty seven percent from five feet to nine feet on the 524 00:40:53.599 --> 00:40:58.559 season, and he couldn't miss in the fourth against Dallas. Just kept going 525 00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:01.000 back to it over and over again. Tagous and Walnut, you're on clipper 526 00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:05.920 stock with that. I'm awesome. What's uptagious? What's up at a great 527 00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:07.679 game? Man? I'm at a family event. I had to escape for 528 00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:10.880 a minute and wish, you know, Adam a happy birthday. Man. 529 00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:15.360 You got your wish come true. We all did so. I just blew 530 00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:22.599 my kazoo. Thank you. I appreciate its pause. Yeah, an awesome 531 00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:24.960 game, man, And like you said, I felt like turning the TV 532 00:41:25.159 --> 00:41:28.400 off after they got the big lead. I'm like, man, can we 533 00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:30.639 just get a thirty point lead in the third quarter or fourth quarter? That 534 00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:35.440 would be much better than getting it early. On, but man, they 535 00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:38.039 it was. It was a crazy game. And I thought in the second 536 00:41:38.159 --> 00:41:45.400 half, although Paul George didn't score a lot, he also didn't force it 537 00:41:45.480 --> 00:41:47.719 too much and he was reading the place, so he just kind of creating 538 00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:52.159 that hockey assist type of play where you get double and he was reading it. 539 00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:55.400 So in that sense, he did well even though the numbers won't pop 540 00:41:55.480 --> 00:42:01.119 out in the second half, I agree, and he looked gassed. You 541 00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:07.280 scored twenty six points and a half, that's that's going to happen. But 542 00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:09.360 he still had enough. Well, he had the pose on the PJ polls 543 00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:15.800 back, so him too. I hope it took something out of the Dallas 544 00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:19.719 Mavericks losing a game like that at home, knowing you could be up three 545 00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:22.159 games to one. Now the pressure really is going to be on them. 546 00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:27.320 With the Clippers not having Kawhi Leonard, it looks like he's out indefinitely. 547 00:42:27.360 --> 00:42:31.519 I wouldn't expect him back game five, No, And you know, it 548 00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:37.559 looked like in the last few minutes the Dallas defenders were just waiting for a 549 00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:40.440 hard and three, and to his credit, he kept driving in and finishing. 550 00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:45.119 So I hope we keep seeing more of that. Even if he doesn't 551 00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:49.000 shoot, he gets into the paint and then he can spray. We get 552 00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:51.559 some more open shots. Although we had some good shots we didn't hit in 553 00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:54.280 the second half. I thought the process was good and it's a little hard 554 00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:59.320 when Kyrie goes off. It's a little bit of kind of snatches your heart. 555 00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:04.239 But they day with it. PG had that incredible shot and the role 556 00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:09.159 players played well, especially defensively. Let's treat game five like Game seven and 557 00:43:10.039 --> 00:43:14.000 we can we can get another one at him. Do you win game five? 558 00:43:14.599 --> 00:43:17.199 You just gotta win one of two with one game being at home to 559 00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:21.719 end the series. It's right there, it's right there for the taking. 560 00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:24.239 And then who knows what happens with Kawhi Leonard. And we're hoping for the 561 00:43:24.320 --> 00:43:28.239 best. We're hoping for a speedy recovery. But obviously it's been a month 562 00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:32.599 now, it's been a month since the knee inflammation, and it just hasn't 563 00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:37.960 been able to bin Krrald. They haven't been able to get it to subside 564 00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:42.840 significantly enough. Game three, he looked much worse than he did in Game 565 00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:45.440 two in his first game back. That was always my concern. I always 566 00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:50.280 thought he was gonna play in this series, but my question was always how 567 00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:54.159 does he respond after that first game back. I've been telling everybody this like 568 00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:59.280 it's it's about how he responds after that first game. If it swells back 569 00:43:59.360 --> 00:44:02.280 up at the infa Mason comes back, that's what you got to worry about. 570 00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:06.559 I don't know if I should go to him, Harold and North Hollywood, 571 00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:10.000 Harold, you're on clipper stop with that. I'm awesl kill me. 572 00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:17.599 I never call after a win. Are you happy birthday? Is that what 573 00:44:17.679 --> 00:44:29.639 it is? Harold? No? No, just a a little controversy to 574 00:44:29.719 --> 00:44:34.320 the show. Okay, okay, fair enough, okay, And I told 575 00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:38.920 you and you disagree with me. Actually they should shut down. Uh no 576 00:44:39.039 --> 00:44:44.639 matter, he's not responding. The team doesn't respond to him. He's always 577 00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:47.760 has his head hanging his head. I think they can do better without him. 578 00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:51.880 I don't know if you believe it or not, but I think this 579 00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:54.360 looks Harold. I think they can win the series without him. They can't 580 00:44:54.360 --> 00:45:00.320 win a championship without him. Well, I was what I was only the 581 00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:01.400 other night. I think they can win this, but I don't think they're 582 00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:05.760 gonna win a championship. I think the Nuggets and the Celtics will be in 583 00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:08.079 the Championship Round. Well, that's what I can do. With Kawhi. 584 00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:16.239 All things are possible. But right now, yes, when he's that ineffective 585 00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:21.719 in Game three, you gotta sit him playing through too much pain, ineffective 586 00:45:21.760 --> 00:45:24.559 out there, just not himself. Clippers are up thirty one. They hold 587 00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:29.760 on. They win one sixteen to one eleven in Dallas over the Mavericks. 588 00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:38.119 Big buckets late from PG thirteen and James Harden Go and float goat Game five 589 00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:42.079 right back at Crypto on Wednesday night.
