00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.200
The game is over. Paul George
money in the pain, but the postgame

2
00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:09.679
reaction has just begot Kawhi Leonard is
so smooth in the mid range. This

3
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:13.759
is Clippers Locker Room, a recap
of today's game and a look ahead on

4
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:18.679
your hope for LA Clippers basketball.
And now your host, You, sir,

5
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:24.600
are a bad man, Adam Ousley. With the Clippers down eighteen in

6
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:29.600
Portland, it took a former Blazer
to lead them back because Norman Powell had

7
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:35.960
twenty two of his thirty two points
in the fourth quarter, and the Clippers

8
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:39.320
come all the way back down eighteen
to win one eighteen to one, twelve

9
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.719
in Portland, over the trail Blazers. Welcome into your post game show.

10
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:46.320
Coming up, we will have second
half highlights. You'll hear from Storm and

11
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:50.000
Norman Powell and the head coach.
But first we go back to Mota Center

12
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:53.920
with your voice of the Clippers.
Noah Eagle, No, not just a

13
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:58.000
great performance. That was an all
timer from Norman Powell. There twenty two

14
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.200
points of the fourth quarter, thirty
two point points in twenty four minutes,

15
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:06.120
Adam, that was ridiculous. Every
time he touched the ball he was finding

16
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.359
a way to punish the defense in
some way, shape or form. They

17
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.280
couldn't stop him on driple penetration.
Then he started knocking down jump shots,

18
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.560
and then he got to the free
throw line at will. He took ten

19
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.159
free throws in this game and to
go four or five from three point territory.

20
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.239
This is the Norman Powell we expected
coming into the season, and he's

21
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.159
only gotten better and better and better
seemingly with each game this year. Coming

22
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.959
into this one, in his previous
five he had been averaging twenty one,

23
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.480
so he had been doing this,
but he didn't have an explosion at this

24
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.560
level. I mean, very few
players can have an explosion at this level.

25
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.439
Now, he knows these rims well
and maybe he felt comfortable, but

26
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:45.239
he was a plus seventeen, as
was Reggie Jackson, and those two together

27
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.000
it just felt like willed this team
to a win. The other thing talked

28
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.480
about it all through the first three
quarters. Defense had to allow more than

29
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.959
thirty points in the first three quarters
apiece. Only seventeen points allowed in that

30
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.640
fourth quarter, and some of that
was blade there's missed a few. Anfrey

31
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.079
Simons came back down to earth finally
and goes one for five from three.

32
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:08.039
But Clippers defenses, there's a lot
of credit. They forced a couple turnovers,

33
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:12.240
they get out in transition, and
they limit their own turnovers only thirteen

34
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.439
on the night. Overall, this
is exactly what you want to see.

35
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.439
And you can build off of this
and then some if you're the Clippers,

36
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:22.000
and maybe we'll look back at this
night and say a defensive star was born.

37
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.599
With Musa Diabat playing the entire fourth
quarter, there have been Clippers fans,

38
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.199
there have been some others who have
been screaming, I'd love to see

39
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:35.680
Musa Diabat. I may have been
a proponent of his for a while,

40
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:40.199
but what a beautiful performance. And
you had the French connection call with he

41
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:45.879
and Nicholas Battoon with huge two huge
blocks late, just massive. And what

42
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.080
Diabat does and we've talked about this, Adam, Sure he doesn't have the

43
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:53.639
most refined offensive game. Let's say
that's not what he's out there to do.

44
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:55.879
He's not out there to put up
twenty twenty five points. What he's

45
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:59.680
out there to do is provide energy, what Terrence Mann has done for years.

46
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:00.879
He's out there to protect the rim. Well he did that at a

47
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:06.639
high level and he's out there to
just be a defensive guy like he can

48
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:08.840
switch one through five. That's why
they drafted him, and he was able

49
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.879
to do that at Michigan as well
well. He showed that he got switched

50
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.120
down to the perimeter, got it
done, He got put inside and had

51
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:20.280
to battle with Nurkics, got it
done, go out there, rebound,

52
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.639
get it done. He did a
little bit of everything for this team and

53
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:25.560
that's what helped guide them to a
win. And at the end of the

54
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.039
day, that's all you ask for, obviously, is to get a win,

55
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.400
no matter how you have to do
it. And I think Diabatte was

56
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.879
as big of a reason as anybody
in this one. You look at the

57
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.639
plus minus again, I know it's
all a fourth quarter, but plus nineteen

58
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:43.599
in twelve minutes and nineteen seconds.
He took one shot and one no,

59
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.520
make it two free throws. One
shot, two free throws. That's it

60
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.840
doesn't need to shoot to impact the
game. That's the type of guy you

61
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.280
want on your team. You mentioned
Reggie Jackson having a great game as well,

62
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.000
and that's coming off the folly had
at the end of the first half.

63
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.879
In that third quarter to help keep
things within range. He had thirteen

64
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.080
of his twenty four points. He
was great, and this was a gritty

65
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:10.520
performance for Reggie Jackson. And it's
almost unfair for Reggie at this point because

66
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:15.039
last season, from Game one to
Game eighty two, they asked him to

67
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.279
be their leader and basically do whatever
it took, and he did it night

68
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:21.680
in and night out, didn't complain, just went out there and did everything

69
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:26.319
he could, all the effort in
the world, and lived with the results.

70
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.759
Well, this year, he wasn't
necessarily supposed to have that same level

71
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:33.160
of responsibility. He wasn't supposed to
be playing forty one minutes in a game

72
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:38.240
and basically played the entire second half. Actually don't think he came out in

73
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.360
the second half of this game,
So that's not what he was supposed to

74
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:45.519
be doing this year. But despite
being thirty two, despite being in his

75
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.360
twelfth year, having all those miles, I think he was bummed about his

76
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:53.560
performance against the Pacers, even with
that win five points, four rebounds,

77
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:57.519
four assists. He had been playing
such good basketball leading up to that game.

78
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:00.600
He knew he had to get a
get back and even after the fall,

79
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.800
and he wasn't. He was playing
good, not great at that point,

80
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:08.600
to grit it out, to grind
that through, I mean that just

81
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:13.639
shows the character of Reggie Jackson and
why this team has relied on him so

82
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.519
often over the last couple of years, dating back to the twenty twenty one

83
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.959
playoffs where he was anointed mister June
as a nickname. He has been that

84
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:24.000
good when he has been on his
game, and tonight was one of those

85
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.839
games. And now the Clippers are
eight and one. When he scores at

86
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.000
least seventeen, that should tell you
all you need to know about his level

87
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.399
of impact. But him and norhim
together, if they can play like this

88
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.920
when Kawai and Paul George and Luke
Kennard and John wall are all in the

89
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:40.319
lineup, I mean, how do
you stop that offense? We know what

90
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.680
they can do defensively, They've been
the second best defense in the NBA even

91
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.399
without Kawai for the majority of the
season, so defensively, I'm not worried.

92
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.480
But how do you stop that offense
if they're all cooking like that?

93
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:54.439
That's a scary thought. Need to
see it. Clippers come back down eighteen

94
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:59.040
to win one, eighteen to one
twelve against the Portland Trailblazers in Portland.

95
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.720
They're on a back to back.
Second half of that is tonight or excuse

96
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:05.560
me, tomorrow night against the Utah. Yess yeah, I don't know.

97
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:09.399
I know they're deep, and I
know they have some depth and some young

98
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.600
guys that just came up. But
they're taking out the Utah Jazz tomorrow.

99
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.319
Trusted and Brown only played six times. They're ready. Musa diabatt, I

100
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:21.920
don't doubt he's ready to go.
They'll be Utah take it on the Jazz

101
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.879
tomorrow night. Same tip time at
seven. I love your Clippers Countdown show

102
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.160
starting at six. Noah Eagle a
great call. We'll talk to you in

103
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.199
less than twenty four hours. Adam. I am not ready to call another

104
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.399
game quite yet, so I'm gonna
use that rest to my advantage and I

105
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:41.839
can't wait. Coming up next second
half highlights Norman Powe with twenty two of

106
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.199
his thirty two in the fourth.
Clippers come back down eighteen to win in

107
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.040
Portland over the Trailblazers. And you're
listening to the Los Angeles Clippers radio.

108
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:54.839
Now I'm nice too, with some
nice CDs ice cubes, CD's ice creams

109
00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:58.240
let's talk about dryer land. That
stuff you find in your pocket. What

110
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.160
if you found something else, like
a five hour bill or a ten It

111
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:06.399
was blocked by George. This is
LA Clippers basketball. He is a one

112
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:11.600
man record crawl that he fends a
man on the home of your LA Clippers.

113
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:15.279
Will I do it? We we
we no matter what, We'll got

114
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:17.839
money on my mind. I can
you ever get enough? Night? Every

fourth quarter and they win one eighteen
o one twelve over the Portland Trailblazers.

119
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:43.319
Welcome back into your postgame show.
I'm Adam Oslin still to come on m

a few people on hold already,
wouldn't you know. I'm also at follow

123
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:59.519
Adam a on Twitter. Clippers were
down by eight at the half, it

124
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:05.639
was six sixty one to fifty three, and Anthony Simmons went five of seven

125
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.879
from three in that third quarter.
He had fifteen points for the Blazers.

126
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:16.319
Reggie Jackson had thirteen. The Clippers
were down by thirteen heading into the fourth

127
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.480
and then there was this explosion from
Storm and Norman Powell just pass patoomb swing

128
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.079
it Pal baseline, drive Pal up
and under reverse layup, spun through with

129
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:30.120
a left hand. Norman Powell with
the acrobatic finish. Seventeen points off the

130
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.759
bench and the Clippers are within seven
ninety eight ninety one. Jackson of the

131
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.440
front court finds Pal drives down the
left alley to the rim, inside hand

132
00:08:37.559 --> 00:08:43.120
finish Norman Powell with nineteen time out. Chauncey billups. The Clippers are within

133
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:48.600
five ninety eight ninety three Pal on
the right wing. Chance of defense here

134
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.679
at Mota center. As Pal drives
middle oh, he flips it up and

135
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:58.799
in counting and a fell Norman Powell
a bee line with the bucket with a

136
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:05.000
chance for three. It's a Pal
takeover in the place he used to call

137
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.840
home. Twenty two points for Storm
and Norman Pal down the right alley,

138
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.480
long stride so the rim scoop shot
goes Norman Powell with twenty five one oh

tap it outside Morris with a pump big

141
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:26.159
and drive outside Pal farside corner three. It's good. Norman Peal buries a

00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:33.600
big one ties the game at one
O eight twenty nine for Norm Pal drives

finish off the window from Pale thirty

one fifteen O one twelve. Norman
Powell with twenty two points in the fourth

146
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:54.679
quarter. He outscored the Blazers by
himself as the Clippers won the fourth quarter

147
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:58.480
thirty six to seventeen. And oh
yeah, you know who was a plus

148
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:05.559
nineteen out there when they won the
quarter by nineteen Moosa Diabat, the young

149
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.679
rookie out of Michigan, gets his
first real meaningful minutes and plays the entire

150
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:16.600
fourth quarter. A couple of key
offensive rebounds, a big block He and

151
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.600

I believe it in my heart. This

178
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.679
is the best team in the history
of the franchise. I am all about

Was something born out of this game as

184
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.600
Norm has twenty two points in the
fourth quarter and the Clippers come back down

185
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:11.279
eighteen. They win one eighteen to
one twelve in Portland over the trail Blazers.

186

on get to me at follow Adam a

189
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.440
on Twitter. Coming up, you're
gonna hear from Norman Powell. I believe

190
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.480
he said something that had to be
censored on TNT. But a lot of

191
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:33.720
excitement when you score twenty two points
against your former team in the fourth quarter

192
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:37.799
to bring a team back down eighteen
for a victory. Coming up, William

193
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.960
Updike will also be here from Clips
and Dip. We'll do some Clips and

194
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:45.879
Double Dip. You'll hear from coach
Lou We'll get to your phone calls.

195
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.879
But is this going to be more
than just a win for the Clippers.

196
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.000
Is this gonna have legs? In
a similar fashion to what Nicholas Batoum said

197
00:13:56.159 --> 00:14:00.799
a few years ago when the Clippers
came back down twenty against the Hawks,

198
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.799
and they said something was born out
of that victory and it helped power them

199
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:11.639
to the Western Conference Finals even without
Kawhi Leonard. This would be in early

200
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.759
season signature type of victory like that
for the Clippers. But when they could

201
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:22.879
use now at thirteen and nine and
six and four on the road, and

202
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.720
they were without Kauai, they were
without Paul George, no Luke Kennard.

203
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.399
And we heard earlier today some of
the cavalry arrived in Musa Dabate and Jason

204
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:37.039
Preston. Preston played some of the
first half. Look good, I want

205
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:39.720
assist. It is only shot.
It was a three ball, but just

206
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:45.799
played six minutes, and I kept
wondering when it's coach Luke gonna go to

207
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:50.840
Musa Dyabate. I've been talking about
this guy. If you've seen me on

208
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.000
Twitter at follow out of a right
now. Maybe I'm patting myself on the

209
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:58.480
back a little bit too much,
but I said on November seventeenth. I

210
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.360
just want to see what he could
do with this team. I said,

211
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.480
honestly, this might be crazy,
crazy, given who's on the Clippers team,

212
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.639
but I'd love to see what Diabat
could bring to the Clippers. They

213
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.759
need some type of boost, energy, relentless hustle. I just wonder what

214
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:15.720
he could do. And he was
all that and then some. As he

215
00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:20.879
played the entire fourth quarter. The
numbers weren't staggering, but in a quarter

216
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:26.879
that the Clippers win by nineteen and
hold the Portland Trailblazers to seventeen points,

217
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:31.120
he was huge. A couple of
big offensive rebounds, a huge block.

218
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.720
He and Nicholas Batoum with the French
connection blocks on back to back possessions on

219
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.639
the Portland Trailblazers after Anthony Simons could
not be stopped in that third quarter where

220
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.879
he had fifteen points. Then it
was Norman Powell taking over in the fourth

221
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:52.360
against his former team with great defense
around him in Roco. But toomb In

222
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.159
Mousi Diabate, the young rookie who
was destroying teams in the G League,

223
00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:02.320
getting twenty and ten. But he's
this swim whitable, versatile defender. He

224
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:04.519
doesn't have a well rounded offensive game. He doesn't need that to make an

225
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:07.919
impact. Yet. He can play
out on the perimeter, he can play

226
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:12.720
on the interior. But he has
a motor on him that is special,

227
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:18.120
that can give the Clippers more juice
out there, that can give them a

228
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:19.240
boost, a shot in the arm, whatever you want to call it.

229
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:26.000
He brings hustle and relentless hustle to
the game and I think helped inspire guys

230
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:33.679
as a rookie out of Michigan.
But talk about an inspiring performance from Norman.

231
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.480
Powell said all season he's the third
best player, most important player on

232
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.559
this team. This is who he
is. Last five games, coming into

233
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:47.879
this one, he was getting an
efficient twenty. Now you can't expect twenty

234
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:53.120
two point quarters all the time,
but he is a scoring machine. And

235
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:59.279
having a twenty two point fourth quarter
against your former team when you're down eighteen,

236
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:06.240
that is special. That's huge for
anybody that's not just great, that's

237
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:11.759
an all time performance. He finishes
with thirty two, had ten points heading

238
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:17.279
into the fourth, finishes with thirty
two on ten of sixteen, shooting four

239
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:19.680
or five from three. Get into
the free throw line, did miss a

240
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:26.079
couple, but just an unbelievable,
otherworldly performance, just like we saw from

241
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:30.400
a visa Zoobots on Sunday. And
I told you right now, without Kauai,

242
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:34.839
without Paul George, they have to
have guys step up like this and

243
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:41.440
be a star for one night and
play like a superstar. Now, it

244
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.960
wasn't just Norman Powell, because Reggie
Jackson, after taking that huge fall at

245
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:48.440
the end of the second quarter,
people are saying he shouldn't come back in,

246
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:56.000
leave Reggie out. He starts the
third quarter and is ridiculous as Anthony

247
00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.400
Simons was from three, hitting five
of his seven attempts in that quarter,

248
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:03.640
looked like he couldn't miss. He
had fifteen of his thirty seven in the

249
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.799
third. Reggie Jackson very quietly had
a thirteen point third quarter, and after

250
00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:12.480
being down eighteen, the Clippers were
down thirteen heading into the fourth. They

251
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:17.400
don't win this game without that belief
from Reggie Jackson there in the third and

252
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:21.880
his performance in the second half.
And they don't win it without coach Lou

253
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.720
pushing all the right buttons, the
chiropractor, tinker and tie and going to

254
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:33.200
a rookie for the comeback and playing
small which worked against Portland beautifully. Aviza

255
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:37.599
Zubats was a minus twenty one.
It wasn't his night out there. Moses

256
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:42.759
Brown wasn't his night either. What
worked is when they went small and got

257
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:49.079
the matchups they wanted against Nurkics and
made Portland adjust to them and the comeback

258
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:59.440
Clippers. They're back their biggest comeback
of the season, down eighteen. Huge

259
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:02.960
win for that on the front end
of a back to back with two players

260
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.240
they just brought in today from the
G League. Both contributed. Musa Diabatte

261
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:12.319
can't overstate the performance he had,
but this is what I expected. I'm

262
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:17.240
not kidding. I said they need
some type of boost energy, relentless hustle.

263
00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:19.599
I just wonder what he could do. Earlier today, I tweeted out,

264
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:22.359
and this is gonna make me sound
like a nerd, but have you

265
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.799
seen Transformers of the movie from nineteen
eighty six. You know hot Rod turns

266
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:32.839
into Rodimus Prime as he holds up
the matrix. Yeah, probably TMI.

267
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:41.359
But I put out that gift earlier
today saying Musa, it's time and maybe

268
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.400
a defensive star was born tonight because
this is what the type of game he

269
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.240
has. This is the type of
game he has out there. He doesn't

270
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:56.039
make a lot of mistakes. Again, don't look for huge offensive, an

271
00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:00.799
offensive bag and an arsenal from him. Look for putbacks and rim running.

272
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.519
But on the defensive end, he
can guard everyone at six to eleven.

273
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:10.400
He's been wrecking teams in the G
League. Yes, the G League.

274
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:14.400
Well, there have been great players
that have come out of there, and

275
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:18.160
some of that can transfer. And
I think he has tools that work on

276
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:26.559
this level and work now and can
help the Clippers right now. Clippers come

277
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:30.160
back down eighteen in the third quarter, Norman Powell. The twenty two point

278
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:36.240
fourth Musa Diabate is here. What
a night. Let's start with Javier and

279
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:41.240
Lahabra heights here on Clipper stock.
Yeah, what's up? I think you

280
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.039
were taking my call. There's three
teams here. How they won this game?

281
00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:48.200
Number one Norman Powell. I mean
that's the normal power we know.

282
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:53.319
I mean thirty two points and how
many And that's the Norman Powell that the

283
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:59.799
Portland Trailblazers know too. He had
twenty two points in the fourth. Yeah,

284
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:02.839
and it was just nice to see
that. And like you said,

285
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:06.759
it was against his team, so
that's number one, Number two, Reggie

286
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:10.319
Jackson. I mean the fall he
took, I honestly thought that he's only

287
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:12.400
going to come back at the second
half. But you know, he's a

288
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:15.839
tough kid, you know, so
he's like, you know, when he

289
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.759
came back, I'm like, you
know, they're gonna win. He just

290
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.880
he just he just didn't want to
He just wanted to play. And the

291
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.759
third thing is how even noticed.
I think the first half they had ten

292
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.759
turnovers, the second half they had
three. That helped him a lot three

293
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:34.440
and the second half that's a great
call. That's a great call. And

294
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:40.440
that's something you know, a couple
of games ago against Denver they cut down

295
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:44.319
the turnovers in the same way in
the second half where they had made adjustments.

296
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:48.880
I'll add a fourth to what you
just said there to Xavier Roco.

297
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:53.359
Fifteen points in eighteen minutes from Robert
Covington, and he had an eleven oh

298
00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:59.160
run in the second quarter on his
own and was keeping the Clippers in it,

299
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:03.000
and had two buckets a nice layup
in the fourth quarter and obviously played

300
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.039
stellar defense. Yeah, yeah,
he did. And I teas the last

301
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:11.240
thing, I don't know, We've
got all the calls tomorrow on the back

302
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:15.559
to back game day sit. Honestly, the way Pal's been playing, just

303
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:21.519
just switching with Pat with switching with
a man and let pause start. Now,

304
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:23.759
I don't know it's been working.
Pal coming off the bench. There's

305
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:27.200
no reason. There's no reason to
change things with the way he's been playing

306
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:32.519
off the bench. And Terrence Man, it's been very good. Terrence Man

307
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:34.519
has been awesome, shooting over sixty
percent, and I think his last six

308
00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:40.279
games now he also made plays in
this one. I do disagree on that

309
00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:44.960
point, Javier, but it's not
about who starts, it's about who finishes

310
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.200
games. And I always thought Norman
Powell would be one of those closers for

311
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.119
the Clippers. They come back down
eighteen, he has twenty two and the

312
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:56.640
fourth they win one eighteen to one
twelve over the Portland trail Blazers. Quick

313
00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:57.759
time out here on Clippers Talk.
We'll come back. We'll get to your

314
00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:02.640
phone calls. Eight six six ninety
eight seven two five seventy eight six sixty

315
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:08.039
nine eight seven two five seventy is
the phone number looking for postgame audio from

316
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:15.920
Storman Norman Powell also looking for somebody
who used to tweet at me about comparing

317
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:19.000
him to Jamal Crawford, and I
said, they're pretty different players. But

318
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:22.359
you know what, I'm not gonna
go there tonight when they already have an

319
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:26.240
old takes exposed. There was a
Laker fan who got to me when the

320
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:32.559
Clippers were down by eighteen, rooting
for the Blazers. You know, it's

321
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:36.920
weird. Sometimes Lakers fans are like
Clippers are irrelevant. Other times it looks

322
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:41.000
like Clippers are living rent free in
their head. Yes, more Clippers stock

323
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:48.880
next are only M five seventy All
a sports to the devil to a temple.

324
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:53.200
I sell water to a speedboat and
he's a zachonic, a whim promemade

325
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:56.160
prop And now I keeps some damn
face in my pocket. Given faded.

326
00:23:57.079 --> 00:24:02.960
We knew it was blocked by George. This is LA Clippers basketball. He

327
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:11.400
is a one man defensive man on
the home of your LA Clippers champagne face.

328
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:15.240
Well, they know in Portlands,
they know Norman Powle's face, they

329
00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:19.920
know the name. They know you
can leave a team back against him.

330
00:24:21.319 --> 00:24:26.319
Down eighteen with a twenty two point
fourth quarter, Norman Powe finishes with thirty

331
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:33.319
two, has twenty two in the
fourth just relentless downhill attack, acrobatic layups,

332
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:40.440
tough layups and once an insane performance. But it's what he can do.

333
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:42.160
That's why I was so excited when
they brought him in. I thought

334
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:47.079
it was a perfect fit. Next
to Kawai and Paul George and on nights

335
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:51.480
when they're not there, this is
somebody that can get you an easy twenty

336
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:55.519
and sometimes he can do it in
one quarter. Clippers win one eighteen to

337
00:24:55.640 --> 00:25:00.359
one twelve over the Portland Trailblazers.
Let's hear from Coach Low in the locker

338
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:04.400
room post game, as obviously it
was a celebratory mood with the Clippers on

339
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:07.119
the front end of the back to
back. Preston man, way to come

340
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.640
in and play, most way to
come in and play, most way to

341
00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:15.759
come in and play, granting big
charge on get grand six five. But

342
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:18.000
everyone, we're gonna come up the
bench, fifteen Marcus, big block,

343
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:23.400
big shot the end, norm,
way to come out and play first half,

344
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:26.079
come out second half. Twenty four
points in the second half, eight

345
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.759
and teen from the field. So
listen, everybody chipped in. That's a

346
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:41.359
that's a real team win, right
there. Prest That is exactly that a

347
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:47.240
real team win something they can build
off of, something they can catapult off

348
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:53.160
of. Because this is that Grady
Clippers team, the same guys, a

349
00:25:53.200 --> 00:26:00.279
lot of them that have set records
for comebacks down thirty five last season,

350
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:06.359
second biggest comeback ever against the Washington
Wizards. They were doing that with Luke

351
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:11.720
Kennard and a mere coffee and Teris
Man leading him. Norman Powell being at

352
00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:15.480
the vandguard of this comeback, I
mean, could he be more of a

353
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:21.359
Clipper? It's just it's just too
perfect of a fit. I always thought

354
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:25.559
that he was the right guy to
be the third scorer on this team next

355
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:27.920
to Kawai and Paul George because he
can do it in a lot of different

356
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:33.039
ways and he makes it look effortless
when he's on his game. And pretty

357
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:36.440
much the last two and a half
weeks now, he's been a different player

358
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:40.359
than he was to start the season, and he was a different player than

359
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:45.480
anyone else on the court. Tonight
in the fourth, Morris and longbeat jeron

360
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:48.799
Clipper Stock with Adam Oslin. What's
up what we saw today with just how

361
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.880
deep, just how deep the Clippers
are. Listen, we saw some guys

362
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.640
we didn't even know was on the
team. Madam, who was this guy?

363
00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:00.759
Goes? Didn't know these on the
team. This was awesome. This

364
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:04.960
was straight up awesome. That guy
from Portland, he was so hard.

365
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:08.920
I thought I was looking at fire. I mean the guy he had like

366
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:14.960
seven threes twenty one twenty so,
I mean there was nothing we could do

367
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:18.640
with him. And you get to
the fourth quarter. God, I didn't

368
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.279
recognize this team, I said the
other day. I said the other day

369
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:25.599
that the Clippers had three different teams. I was wrong. They got four

370
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:29.599
because I didn't recognize these guys they
had up every night. And and Roco,

371
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:32.440
I know this is I know this
is Paul's man. I'm not gonna

372
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:34.519
take that from him. But Roco, here's a guy. Here's a guy.

373
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:37.039
I know coaches love this kind of
brother. Here's a guy. Get

374
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:41.359
a whole lot of coaches decide he
ain't gonna play. He get a chance

375
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:44.799
to play, he blows up,
no powerty, he blows up. This

376
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.079
was one. I man, I'm
so mpressed. I thought they was gonna

377
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:49.640
lose the game. I'm not kidding
you. I love the Clippers, but

378
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:52.559
I thought they was gonna lose this
game. But I'm gonna say something.

379
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:57.480
Don't bet against these guys. Doctor
they behave yourself. Thank you Morris.

380
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:03.200
Don't bet against no Pal who went
seven of nine from the field in the

381
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:11.359
fourth quarter for those twenty two points. Fantastic performance. Lenny in Inglewood,

382
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:15.319
Lenny, what's up? What's good? I've been I've been looking for you,

383
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:18.480
Lenny, where you at. I've
been laying low and laying a lot,

384
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:21.240
and I was checking it out.
But look, man, here's what

385
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:23.680
we're gonna do. Because he's team
Wait wait wait wait, wait wait wait,

386
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:26.759
let's start with the apologies to her. I mean, Lenny, last

387
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:30.519
time I heard from you, you
were talking about Reggie Jackson a ton and

388
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:33.599
let me finished. That's what I
said. That's what we gonna do.

389
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:36.079
I'm gonna tell you who we need
to get rid of, and then they

390
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:38.119
gonna come back and turn it out. Next next person we need to get

391
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:42.119
rid of as Luke knar o God. So you're saying you're you're the reverse

392
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:45.279
Jink, So that's what you're doing, reverse baby. I'm the reverse baby.

393
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:48.720
But you know what about Reggie Man
and I saw this comment, it

394
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:55.359
was true. I think that you
know Reggie's up. Reggie's giving us way

395
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:59.519
more than a role player. But
we've putting so much on his shoulders that

396
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:03.359
it's like we expect him to to
do what he's doing every night now,

397
00:29:03.359 --> 00:29:06.880
and it's it's good, it's it's
you know, I'm glad we're getting it.

398
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:11.559
But you know, Reggie's Reggie's not
penciled in as the kind of guy

399
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.000
who did you expect to get that
every night? Well, well, how

400
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:17.759
about this, then, let's just
talk about what he's doing in November.

401
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:23.880
Here's here's the numbers. Agree,
can he sustained fourteen points on fifty percent

402
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:27.960
shooting and forty percent from three because
that's what he's been doing for a month

403
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:33.880
now. I know he's looked at. He totally turned it around. I'm

404
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:36.640
glad, and I'm glad for him
and glad the team. You know,

405
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:40.720
I think this is one of their
best wins for the year, no doubt,

406
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:45.000
because my issue with them early on
if they weren't fighting, they just

407
00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:48.079
weren't fighting like in this game,
like it. I just watched it as

408
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:51.319
a fan. I forgot like that. I was because the way they would

409
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:53.319
just bawl it. And then you
know, Norma Park. I think that

410
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:56.440
was the most I think that was
the most impressive fourth quarter performance. And

411
00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:02.480
in NBA all year, I ain't
see not like that. And they were

412
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:04.440
just fighting, man, they were
just fighting everybody loose. And like I

413
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:07.319
said, they were not doing that
before. And that's what I did not

414
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:11.519
dig at all, you know,
And it's like that. But but but

415
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:15.880
Lenny, what did I say?
It's early? It's early. What was

416
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:19.680
I screaming when they were two and
four? It's too early to judge this

417
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:23.119
team. But Adam, let me
tell you something, Bro, I've been

418
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:26.519
watching the Celtics and then them Cats
came. I'm saying, from the first

419
00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:30.599
tip of the ball, they've they've
been on it. Hey, great,

420
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:33.759
they were five hundred halfway through the
season last year. They were five hundred

421
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:37.039
halfway through the season last year and
got to the NBA finals. Great.

422
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.920
Yeah, but they're playing they're playing
with a chip on their shoulder and that's

423
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:45.240
what and that's and the way they
played tonight. Norm problem was like I

424
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.880
refuse to lose. And he came
back home. He came back to like

425
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:53.119
you said, familiar familiar rims.
And he's a baller man, you know,

426
00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:56.440
bow lag and bow Lag and Norman
as a baller. And that's what

427
00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:00.000
I love about the cat. I've
always loved that about him and he I

428
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.599
remember he used to kill us when
he was with the Portland and and Toronto.

429
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:04.640
And I see you say the same
thing. I was like, damn,

430
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:07.799
I wish you had that, dude, And I'm glad we got him

431
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:11.440
man because he can he can make
him and you're right, do not start

432
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:18.680
him. He's perfect coming off the
bench. Man is Man has been fantastic.

433
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.160
I think if Man gets those kind
of minutes, he gives you those

434
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:26.799
kind of numbers. He's good for
sixteen sixteen a game. Excellent defense,

435
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:30.400
I mean, just to all around. And then the fact that you got

436
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:36.279
Betune mentoring Diabate, I mean,
you can't ask for better. Makes you

437
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:40.599
met He's cap He's keeping this cat
on point. And Uh, there was

438
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:42.519
just a really good win. Man. Like I said, I I really

439
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:45.880
wasn't. I was. I was
more into the game as a fan than

440
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.440
I realized. It was like,
they're gonna win. They can win this

441
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:52.519
because we should not have won that
game because the way that boy was shooting.

442
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:53.720
Uh, Simmons was certain. I
was like, we can't stop this

443
00:31:53.799 --> 00:32:00.319
dude. I was like, he's
gonna take them home. But other wise,

444
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:04.640
and that that blocking foul, the
charge that was drawn by by Reggie

445
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:07.559
Jackson to get Jeremy Grant out of
the ball game, to give him a

446
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:10.839
sixth foul, underrated, amazing play. Absolutely, Look, man, my

447
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:14.920
hat's off to Reggie. My bad. I'm glad. I'm glad he's back

448
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:17.240
on point, all right. And
I like the fact that non Powell took

449
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:22.680
on the defensive assignment on athlete Signmon's
that is that's a baller, you know,

450
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:24.200
not just getting his But I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna show

451
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:27.240
you what's something, young man.
And he you know, he took it

452
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:30.720
to him, man. But just
just a really inspiring play. And I'm

453
00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:34.599
glad that. You know, we
got to get that one in the mile,

454
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:37.039
dig that one out and then you
know, we'll we'll see what's what's

455
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:38.799
from there. But if they can
get if they can get that one the

456
00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:44.079
mile, man, there's no doubt
we you know, we're there so anyway

457
00:32:44.599 --> 00:32:45.960
doing doing a good job out and
keep it up and let's let's go,

458
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:50.839
all right, all right, good
phone call, good phone call. Reggie

459
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:55.440
Jackson, by the Way with twelve
assists, twelve of the twenty six team

460
00:32:55.480 --> 00:33:00.519
assists by the Clippers. Still looking
for post game audio from Norman Powell.

461
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:04.920
Maybe there's a reason it's tough to
find. I heard there was an expletive,

462
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:08.720
a little bit of excitement after a
victory like this. Of course he

463
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:12.880
has twenty two. On the fourth, the Clippers come back down eighteen in

464
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:17.839
the second half. They win one
eighteen to one twelve in Portland's over Norman

465
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:25.039
Powell's former team and Rowcos in the
Trailblazers. Big time victory. Let's see

466
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:29.240
if the Clippers can roll it into
tomorrow's game in Utah. More on that

467
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.039
as well, But William Updyke from
Clips and Dip is coming in next.

468
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:46.119
You're listening to Clippers talk here on
the M five seventy yards sports. Last

469
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:51.119
time that I check its fine chains
on my neck, it was no smut

470
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:55.359
on my BRep. Last time that
I send us set and the quartermeil no

471
00:33:55.519 --> 00:34:00.880
sweat. Last time I'll come back
in the Clippers. I'm out of Moslin.

472
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:04.799
After they come back down eighteen to
twenty two, and the fourth from

473
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:07.039
Norman Powell, they win one eighteen
to one twelve. In Portland over his

474
00:34:07.159 --> 00:34:12.800
former team in the Blazers. What
a victory for the Clippers eight six six

475
00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:17.199
ninety eight seven two five seventy eight
six six nine eight seven two five seventy

476
00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:22.519
A spirited victory, an inspiring win. Will see what carryover they have as

477
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:27.800
they introduced a few new players in
Jason Preston, Musadiabat and did all this

478
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:31.199
without Kauai, without Paul George,
and without Luke Kennard. But we've seen

479
00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:35.480
it before. We've also had this
man on before for a little clips and

480
00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:39.320
double dip. It's our friend William
Updike here does clips and Dip with myself

481
00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:45.800
and Charles Mockler. Will I believe
Norman Powell would be your surprise player to

482
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:50.840
watch if I remember our podcast from
last night for this ballgame. That's right,

483
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:55.840
that's right, Powell and Covington both
returning to their old team in a

484
00:34:55.880 --> 00:35:02.639
way that's like an unfair picture act
sidentally quote unquote sent by your ex's friend

485
00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:07.760
to you. Are then doing great? Norman Powell thirty two points the efficiency

486
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:15.119
though absolutely off the charts. How
about that fourth quarter from Norm he absolutely

487
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:21.400
destroyed. Yeah, twenty two of
his thirty two points in that fourth quarter.

488
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:23.599
So I gave you some love of
that prediction. Can you throw some

489
00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:28.079
back at me, because nobody's gonna
believe that. I talked about Musa Dabat

490
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:31.039
and how he could be a big
contributor with this Clippers team, even this

491
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:36.280
season a couple of weeks ago.
Nobody's gonna believe it. You called it.

492
00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:38.280
I mean, you hit the nail
right on the head, and oh

493
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:44.840
my gosh. And the word unfatible
is a dirty word for Clippers fans dating

494
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:50.039
back to the Avery Bradley era.
But how about a team second best plus

495
00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:58.960
nineteen in twelve fourth quarter minutes from
Musa Diabate. Taylou credited his switchability and

496
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:01.760
his energy is the reason he was
in there to close that game, and

497
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:07.320
boy did we see it. He
got a crucial loose ball foul what he's

498
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:12.000
stuck in there for a rebound?
Just an absolute great game. And you

499
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:15.440
know, his biggest fan, his
biggest cheerleader out there is Nick but two,

500
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:22.760
who had quite an unstatable game himself, plus twenty two and just twenty

501
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:28.079
five minutes. Well not exactly once
again burning your eyes out with the stats,

502
00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:32.400
but man, the French connection with
the impact in this horn. Yeah,

503
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:39.039
those two blocks down the stretch at
the rim, just enforcing and patrolling

504
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:43.639
the pain. Just emphatic blocks.
I'd love to see that from both of

505
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:46.239
them. I mean, hey,
Moosa played the entire fourth quarter. They

506
00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:50.480
won it by nineteen. Hed better
be a plus nineteen out there. I'm

507
00:36:50.519 --> 00:36:54.000
never believing that stat again. That's
how good he was. Reggie Jackson was

508
00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:59.639
also spectacular, especially because he faced
him adversity. He was playing hurt a

509
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:02.079
little. He had that huge fall
at the end of the second quarter off

510
00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:06.760
a crazy made layup, and it
looked like a lot of people thought he

511
00:37:06.840 --> 00:37:09.880
might not even play in the second
half. Instead, he has thirteen points

512
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:15.159
in that third quarter just to keep
them within striking distance. I thought Reggie

513
00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:22.840
Jackson was spectacular, absolutely like absolute
heroics from Reggie and this one. And

514
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:28.800
it wasn't just that thirteen point that
kept him afloat when Anthony Simon's absolutely torched

515
00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:31.559
the Clippers with fifteen of his own
in that third quarter. It was all

516
00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:36.639
the extra stuff Reggie was doing.
He was leaping on the scorers table to

517
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:42.000
grab loose ball. He sacrificed his
body after that brutal fall for a late

518
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:46.880
game charge that gave Jeremy Grant his
six foul. Look, Reggie Jackson in

519
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:52.760
this one gut it out every single
number on that stat line. Sure,

520
00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:59.920
he put up twenty four, seven
and twelve. He took twenty three shots

521
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:02.880
to get to those twenty four points, and man, this was just this

522
00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:07.440
to me, was like a masterclass
in sort of the next man up,

523
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:13.119
just grind it out sort of mentality, that identity that we keep talking about

524
00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:17.079
that we knew from this Clippers squad. Reggie put every ounce of his body

525
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:21.320
into that performance. And I don't
know what we can expect to see on

526
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:25.639
the second night of a back to
back after playing every minute of the second

527
00:38:25.719 --> 00:38:31.320
half, but oh my gosh,
what a performance from Reggie that was.

528
00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:36.960
That was just man, that was
just giving me all the memories of what

529
00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:40.599
this Clipper's team can be and what
guys give to this squad. Yeah,

530
00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:46.079
it felt like deja vu. It
just it felt like once again things are

531
00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:51.760
crystallizing for what the identity and what
the philosophy of this team is. They

532
00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:55.559
just don't quit, They keep coming. They feel comfortable when they're down big.

533
00:38:55.639 --> 00:39:00.639
That seems to be when they're at
their best they're okay without they're stars.

534
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:02.760
They find ways to win. And
I thought even though he went three

535
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:07.320
of thirteen in the ball game,
there was a big move by coach lew

536
00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:13.199
to put Marcus Morris back in for
Robert Covington down the stretch, and Marcus,

537
00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:16.280
with the Clippers being down three with
two minutes left, hit a huge

538
00:39:16.840 --> 00:39:22.679
seventeen foot jumper. I just love
to see that because even though he was

539
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:25.159
what at that time, he was
two for twelve, and he still had

540
00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:30.599
the confidence to take and make that
shot. Absolutely absolutely, and we saw

541
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:35.519
him give it on the defensive end. Like overall, I mean a little

542
00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:38.159
bit of a rough outing for him, but once again the spurs that he

543
00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:40.880
was able to give, the effort
that he was able to give on the

544
00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:45.199
other end of the ball, it's
still those impact moves. And I think,

545
00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:50.280
you know Morris, especially as a
guy who I know can be sometimes

546
00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:54.119
polarizing or frustrating the Clippers fans,
you know, you see that trust from

547
00:39:54.119 --> 00:39:58.519
the coaching staff and you see that
impact on the floor, and it's just

548
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:01.159
I mean, it's undenied. Well, even when the guy isn't scoring the

549
00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:06.320
ball at the level that we know
he can do, He's still able to

550
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:10.719
provide that impact. Clippers come back
down eighteen. They win one eighteen to

551
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:16.079
one twelve in Portland over the Trailblazers
and get twenty two points from Norman Powell

552
00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:22.039
and the fourth who outscored his former
team by five by himself. He is

553
00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:27.039
William Updyke. Follow him there on
Twitter. Listen to him on the Clips

554
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:30.360
and Dip podcast with myself and Charles
Mockler. Thanks for the double Dip session

555
00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:37.519
tonight. Appreciate it. Will absolutely
couldn't come after a better win. Always

556
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:40.480
a pleasure. Now we'll see if
the Clippers can turn this into something more.

557
00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:45.840
Can this spring board them forward?
We'll find out tomorrow. They're in

558
00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:49.480
Utah taking on a jazz team they
played twice already. They're one and one

559
00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:52.840
against. We'll talk about that.
Still looking for postgame audio, you're listening

560
00:40:52.880 --> 00:41:02.440
to Clippers stock here on the M
five seventy light spots. For me,

561
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:08.119
it was blocked by George. This
is LA Clippers basketball. He is a

562
00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:13.559
one man King craw on the defensive
man on the home of your LA Clippers.

563
00:41:21.400 --> 00:41:27.760
Another Clippers big time comeback, this
time down eighteen without Kawai Paul George

564
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:35.880
and Luke Kennard and a couple of
young guys helped them in a big comeback

565
00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:39.960
Moosa diabat in that fourth quarter.
I thought Jason Preston gave them good minutes,

566
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:44.039
just six, but in that first
half was good. Terrence Man.

567
00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:47.519
You want to highlight everybody in a
big comeback team win like this. Terrence

568
00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:52.199
Man had that big nine oh run
with a couple of three pointers, a

569
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:58.599
block on Jeremy Grant in the second
quarter. Clippers do it though, on

570
00:41:58.639 --> 00:42:01.559
the back of Norman Powell, the
fourth who had twenty two of his thirty

571
00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:07.480
two points in the final twelve minutes. Thirty two points in twenty four total

572
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:12.960
minutes. Unreal after what we saw
Sunday with Big Zoo. Tonight it was

573
00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:17.480
Norn Pale's night against his former team
Clippers. Tomorrow night are in Utah,

574
00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:22.960
taken on the Jazz Tip time,
same time, seven pm. We'll have

575
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:27.280
Clippers countdown starting at six before we
get out of here. I do want

576
00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:30.920
to think the Clippers organization, Noah
Ego, Brian Seaman, Ralph wall Our,

577
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:35.039
