WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:06.080 Terence Man is ure once again. He's Clippers Talk. I got calls on 2 00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:12.199 Clippers Talk, immediate reaction and analysis to today's game. That's what he's capable 3 00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:17.440 of. Hosted by your pre and post game voice of the LA Clippers, 4 00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:23.920 Adam Osler. Who's man is this? I will be the Clippers parents man 5 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.519 who was showing the Golden State Warriors no love on Valentine's Days. The Clippers 6 00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:33.200 win one nineteen, so one oh four. Welcome into your post game show. 7 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:36.759 This is Clipper Stock. I'm Adam Osland to eight six six nine eight 8 00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.759 seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the 9 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:43.960 phone number if you'd like to get on or get to me at follow Adam 10 00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:47.640 a on Twitter. Coming up. Aside from your phone calls, we'll hear 11 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:54.799 from Coach Loop post game and Terrence Man who hid his season high well in 12 00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:59.240 his regular season high of twenty five points, but did most of his damage 13 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:03.680 in the second half. Or believe it or not, he outscored Steph Curry 14 00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:10.959 in the second half eighteen to seven. Stefitely took two shots total in the 15 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.799 second half after he had a twenty six point first half in this one. 16 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.079 And Steph has cooked the Clippers and everybody else, but specifically this season the 17 00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.120 Clippers. In the first half he was averaging twenty three against them. He 18 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.959 outdid that with twenty six. He could not miss. I believe he was 19 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.159 yes nine of eleven from the field, six of seven from the outside, 20 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:36.680 and the Golden State Warriors were eleven of twenty from three at the half and 21 00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:42.480 the Clippers still lad Why because of great ball movement and sticking to what they 22 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:49.280 do best drive kick, swing, make the extra pass. I retweeted a 23 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.319 tweet from my friend Jamal Christopher who covers the Clippers for the Law of the 24 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.640 jam the Pod. He was all with me recently, but he had documented 25 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:02.879 one of the better plays in a third quarter where the Clippers swung it around 26 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:07.079 the perimeter beautifully. It ended up in a miss on a three pointer from 27 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.919 Terrence Man. But if Visaszu Boss was there for the tipping. But the 28 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:17.479 unselfish play from this team, the willingness to pass, because right now without 29 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:23.840 Kawai, Paul George, without Norman Powell, New Clipper had only been three 30 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.639 games in before he got hurt. Unfortunately, without Luke an Ard, with 31 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.400 the ankle injury that he was playing through. The hole has to be greater 32 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.280 than the sum of its parts, and the only way for that to happen 33 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.879 is through ball movement. The Clippers don't have enough isolation players right now, 34 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.280 superstars that can just go out and get you a bucket. They have a 35 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:46.840 couple of guys that can do it. Reggie Jackson, Marcus Morris, Brandon 36 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.879 Boston. Believe it or not, he's got a lot in his bag. 37 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.759 He came in late and had eight points on three or three shooting. He 38 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.360 was just chomping at the bid. Eight points in four minutes. Brand Boston. 39 00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:01.120 But they have to create open looks for one another, and that's something 40 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:06.840 they did in spades tonight. Fifteen to thirty four is what the Clippers shot 41 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.879 from the outside. That's forty four percent. Remember last season they ended up 42 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:15.800 being top five in the history of the NBA from the outside shooting forty one 43 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:21.759 percent from three. They've been down. They've been close to top ten and 44 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.719 three point shooting this year, but it hasn't been the same. They could 45 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.520 say obviously, no Kauai at all, Paul George only playing in twenty six 46 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.520 games. That's a big part of it, but also with all the turnover 47 00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:37.960 on the roster, there just hasn't been the same familiarity, the chemistry and 48 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.199 the ability to Jael to the point where you see more games like this from 49 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:46.800 the Clippers offensively, because remember they're twenty sixth and offense coming in and they 50 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.919 just took out the Golden State Warriors by putting up one hundred and nineteen points 51 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.039 wow, playing great defense and holding the Golden State Warriors to one oh four, 52 00:03:54.479 --> 00:04:00.000 just forty five points in the second half. Because outside of Steph Curry 53 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.840 in that first half and his twenty six points, nobody else for them had 54 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.800 more than seven. And we talked about this strategy before with coach Lou. 55 00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.199 He'll say, Okay, Luca, you're good enough. Can you beat us 56 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:16.600 tonight while we stop everybody else. And that's what they did Saturday. They 57 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.639 made him more one dimensional. He had forty five points, but the Clippers 58 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:25.839 still won tonight. Steph Curry was the only guy who had it going and 59 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.639 was the only guy who was really in rhythm, and that can happen, 60 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.680 and look, Steph kan nuki and beat you by himself. Sometimes he's that 61 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:38.480 good. But if you play the odds if nobody else is touching the basketball 62 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.800 enough. While Clay Thompson ends up going three or fourteen for seven points after 63 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:47.240 having his best game since he returned after nine hundred and forty some odd days, 64 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.319 and it's good to see him back, but he struggled just seven points 65 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:57.399 in this one, Kuban Looney just seven and was being punished on the other 66 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:03.879 end by a Visa Zubots, who who looked like someone who was free because 67 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:08.639 he no longer had to chase Luca Dontage around like he did Saturday night for 68 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:15.759 forty minutes. A Visa Zubats looked like a guy whose cardio was way up 69 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.920 there. He was relentless. He didn't get tired in this one, and 70 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:24.920 he was attacking and punishing Golden State Warriors, including Cavan Looney at the basket. 71 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.920 He got back to doing what he does best, protecting the rim and 72 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:34.480 being a force inside. On offense, he had eighteen in eight, but 73 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:40.560 some of those dunks from him, there was a different level of nasty to 74 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:47.240 it, a different competitive streak in him, and you gotta have confidence even 75 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:51.240 with what Luca Dontage did Saturday night and those twenty three points he had in 76 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.759 the fourth quarter, if everybody else is saying, we believe in you in 77 00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.959 this one on one matchup, and we can win the ball game this way. 78 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.199 And he frustrated Luca to the point where he was jumping up and down 79 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:08.399 like an angry doctor Robotnick and Sonic the Hedgehog. He had steam coming from 80 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:12.839 his ears on a miss as he had a floater that was right in front 81 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.639 of Vizza zu Bots sitting. He got a piece of it. That has 82 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.000 to give you some confidence and some carry over, and I think it did. 83 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:25.160 But this is even bigger because now a Visa zu Bots goes against a 84 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.560 team that used to take him off the floor in the playoffs in twenty nineteen. 85 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.720 He couldn't play in that series because Golden State would go small and he'd 86 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:38.959 get run off the floor or he miss his assignment. But he's twenty four 87 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:46.040 years of age. He's gotten so much more cerebral out there and for him 88 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.480 to be able to switch out to guys. He had a play on Pool 89 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:54.279 where he caused a turnover and it started from beyond the arc. Pool had 90 00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:58.399 him one on one on an island, and a Visa Zubots found a way 91 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:03.759 to create a turnover out of that unbelievable defense, and that's really iron sharpin's 92 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:08.160 iron. But when you have to go against the best, one of the 93 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.120 best, at least one of the most amazing players I've ever seen in Luka, 94 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:16.000 dontch it makes you better. And Zoobots looks like a different player the 95 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.680 last couple of games now and just the ways you can use him. We 96 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.879 knew it was there, but for him to prove it to himself. I 97 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:30.360 think that he can guard Smalls at this high level of a level. This 98 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:33.600 is meaningful moving forward. Same with Terrence Man. We knew it was there. 99 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:40.480 His twenty one points and the dog that he showed Saturday, going back 100 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:46.759 and forth doing some barkins with Luca done that competitiveness, that spirit, it 101 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.959 brought out the best in him and he carried it over into this game. 102 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:58.319 And without Eric Bledsoe, now, without Norman Powell, without even someone like 103 00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.800 Justice Winslow was playing good bat basketball in Portland now and was handling the ball 104 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.759 here with the Clippers. Terrence Man is back to running the show a lot. 105 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:13.519 He and Reggie Jackson, and Man was flourishing out there. The age 106 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:18.279 of Man Who've said it before, but the way he was playing this was 107 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:26.279 playoff Terrence Man. When he plays with this level of energy and purpose and 108 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:31.439 he's just driving to the basket relentlessly and taking it coast to coast, not 109 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.399 a lot of guys can hang with him, and also playing some good defense, 110 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.000 I might add against Steph Curry making life tough on him in the second 111 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:43.799 half, and I think one of the best ways this slow down staff is 112 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.440 to go right at him, make him work defensively, and the Clippers did 113 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:52.559 that a lot. But Terrence Man, this was a growing moment the last 114 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.840 couple of games for him, where you can see he's just he's turning into 115 00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:01.600 more of that consistent Terrence Man player that I think most Clip Clippers fans thought 116 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.840 he would become this season. Instantly didn't happen. But the maturation process isn't 117 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:13.799 always like that. Progress isn't linear, take one step back to take two 118 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:18.639 steps forward. And we were talking about a postgame with Noah Eagle, but 119 00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:26.639 him playing point early on in his career under Doc Rivers, it may be 120 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.440 paying dividends now because while the game was moving too fast for him then to 121 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:37.720 play that position, well, now it's slowed down and he looks much more 122 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.759 comfortable out there. But he ties his regular season career high with twenty five 123 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.440 points, and I just love the fact that he just kept attacking. And 124 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:52.200 when he is going like that, the Clippers looked like they can beat anybody, 125 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:58.559 even with a Kauai and Paul George and Norman Powell and Luke Kennard. 126 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.759 Unbelievable victory for the Clippers to night, something they can build off of and 127 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.879 just gonna have to happen fast because they're taking on the Phoenix Suns tomorrow in 128 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.000 Phoenix. Yeah, they don't get much easier. We knew the stretch would 129 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:16.519 be tough. Things do soften up in the schedule after tomorrow night, but 130 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.440 we're not gonna go that far ahead yet. Let's uh take a phone call 131 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.039 though, before we break here eight six six ninety seven two five seventy eight 132 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:30.559 six six nine eight seven two five seventy Ray in Torrance, you're on Clippers 133 00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.759 stuck without a maslin. Hi, Ray, Hey Adam, this was a 134 00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.879 beautiful night. Valentine's Day brought my bride to the game, going down to 135 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.320 San Diego for a conference. Gonna have a great drive after that game. 136 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.039 I have not seen him play this well. If the spacing was awesome, 137 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:50.759 they frustrated the hell out of out of both Clay and step in that second 138 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:52.799 half. It was just beautiful to see. I don't know where his teams 139 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.320 have been all year, but if they keep playing like this, they're they're 140 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.279 gonna be in good shape for the rest of the season. Ray, I 141 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.480 appreciate the phone call. Yeah, they were locked in and focused from the 142 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.799 outset. Even though Golden State won that first quarter. What are you gonna 143 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.799 do when Steff is that hot and has sixteen points. They had to deal 144 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.720 with him having twenty five points in the first quarter earlier this season. But 145 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:16.879 the Clippers, they hung around because of the ball movement and they were knocking 146 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.519 down shots and somebody else. And we talked about it early on or in 147 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:26.879 the first half. Know what, Ego and I Nick Batoum looked intent on 148 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:31.240 no longer hesitating with his shot. As soon as he touched the basketball. 149 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.039 It was catching shoot and when he's not thinking about it. He was in 150 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.440 a slight funk the last couple of games. Well, tonight four of seven 151 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:41.440 from the outside, fourteen points. Don't even think he had to play in 152 00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:46.559 the fourth quarter, but he looked like a different player, and Robert Covington 153 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:48.919 all well, No, he had eleven points. All of them came in 154 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.200 the second half. That third quarter though, where he had seven points and 155 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.399 was also getting deflections. But that corner three that he can hit, he's 156 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.720 deadly from there. The Clippers are as a team. I'll tell you more 157 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.559 about that coming up. But he's been shooting forty eight percent from the corner. 158 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.960 Even though he's been shooting thirty five percent from three overall, forty eight 159 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:13.639 percent from the corner. Put him in his spots where he will succeed. 160 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.080 I think the Clippers they do as good of a job of that as any 161 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.559 team out there, just putting players in a position to succeed. Coach lou 162 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.879 he's the coach of the year. He should be. I know he wants 163 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.840 to give it to Bickerstaff in Cleveland, also deserving of votes. But I 164 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:39.279 usually look at it as who's doing the most with lesser talent or so many 165 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.039 guys being banged up and so many different starting lineups, And nobody's dealt with 166 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:48.279 more of that than the Clippers, and they're still twenty nine thirty and hanging 167 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.840 in there. And finding ways to take down teams that are at the top 168 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.399 of the West. All right, we'll take a quick time out. We'll 169 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.200 come back. We'll get some more of your phone calls. Eight six six 170 00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.320 ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight two five seventy you'll 171 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:09.159 hear from coach Lou Auntie Man. Maybe Gregi Jackson a great balance to his 172 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:15.600 game nineteen and nine, just three turnovers that group to Isaiah Hartenstein. The 173 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:22.080 fourth quarter was special. Clippers win by fifteen over the Splash Brothers. Here 174 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:26.120 in downtown Los Angeles, this is Clipper Stock. I'm out of Maslins and 175 00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:35.320 there listening to AM five seventy year I sports saw you have I kiss up 176 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:43.559 crying LA Clippers Basketball continue Safetime shot down the stretch. This is the official 177 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:52.440 home of the Los Angeles Clippers. I wanna be me just in mynn reabe 178 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:58.960 ain't on the Hairlo Juesdale if I'm in my mind and wherever Jusdale and I'm 179 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:09.000 damn. The Clippers were good tonight one nine four over the Golden State Warriors. 180 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.399 Kay dot with the tunes. Here is Valentine State. How we not 181 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.519 I know Clipper Nation has a love affair with this team and especially tea man 182 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:26.399 who they drafted and over the last four games now getting eighteen six and four 183 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:33.759 on fifty eight percent shooting. Perhaps this is that moment where the consistency really 184 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.480 starts to come from him, where he comes into his own and knows exactly 185 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.639 the role he has to play with this team, because when he plays like 186 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.080 this, the Clippers are tough to beat. They win by fifteen over Steph 187 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.759 Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Welcome back into Clippers stock. I'm at 188 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:54.080 I'm auslin eight six sixty nine eight seven two five seventy eight six sixty nine 189 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:58.240 eight seven two five seventy is the phone number, Tom and Huntington Beach. 190 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:03.080 Tom, you're on Clippers staff with that him? Awesome, Adam, it's 191 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.600 good to talk to you again. How are you? What's up? Man? 192 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.360 We're not gonna do it tonight. Huh, it's all love is in 193 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:13.759 the air. Oh no, no, we're done. We're done with that. 194 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:18.080 I think I think we're a past that. We've played it out. 195 00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.440 It's like that's what she said joke at this point. Come on, it's 196 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.080 not funny anymore exactly. But anyways, it. Just got back from the 197 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:30.559 game with my mom. Took her through her first Clippers game with my dad. 198 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:33.399 We had a great time, you know. It was good for her 199 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.279 to see us get this the best of w that we had all years. 200 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.799 So it's definitely quite the Valentine's Say for us. But how about our team, 201 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.159 Man, that was the best team win we've had tonight. I think 202 00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.000 you said it best about Terrence Man. When he plays like that, nobody's 203 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:54.480 stopping us. It's it's quite impossible. Well, people could, but I 204 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.360 think tu bots. He's definitely not been playing well lately. It's definitely been 205 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:02.799 a lot of my criticism. He stepped up tonight and was extremely big, 206 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:06.360 especially when they started double teaming at the top of the key. So just 207 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:11.720 seeing our guys go out there and Reggie Jackson and just attacking the rim, 208 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.559 especially when we were in the bonus, it's great to see. It's great 209 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:18.000 to see overall, great win, and I hope you're doing well. Tom. 210 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:21.440 I'm saying to you and the family, glad you guys came out for 211 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:26.559 this one. Clippers win by fifteen over the Golden State Warriors, and you 212 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:30.440 can make the argument it was their most complete victory based upon who was available, 213 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:36.639 the way they ran their offense, which was true to Clipper's form with 214 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:41.480 all the ball movement, but then also not letting up defensively, especially in 215 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.039 that second half, just giving up forty five points. But the difference was 216 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.080 in that first half of Golden State Warriors go eleven of twenty from three, 217 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:53.159 second half five of twenty one from the outside, and for whatever reason, 218 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:59.679 Steph Curry, even Steph Curry got a little bit gun shy. He started 219 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:02.639 off six of seven in the first quarter, then three or four in the 220 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:07.480 second quarter, one of five in that third quarter after having twenty six points 221 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:08.519 of a half. I would have thought he would have put up ten shots 222 00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:14.279 in that third and then one of two and the fourth. But obviously they 223 00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:18.519 waved the white flag early. They saw the riding on the wall. Clippers 224 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:22.000 wins. Sean and Englewood. You're on Clippers stock tonight. What's up, 225 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:26.559 Sean? Hey, Adam Heigen Dilm Chris, I'm good, Sean. What'd 226 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:32.400 you think of the ball games? Loved it. As I've been saying many 227 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:37.200 times before, Terrence Man needs to start because he pushes the ball and gets 228 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.400 them into early all tense, and he gets you about twenty to twenty five 229 00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:47.960 easy shots the game for himself and the others. And just think if everybody 230 00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.480 came back, what Terrice could do. So what's your starting lineup? Let 231 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.160 me ask you, Sean, what's your starting lineup? If everybody's healthy, 232 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:59.240 how does he make it in? Well, Terris can play the point and 233 00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:03.079 Reggie can come month the bench. You can have either Reggie start or you 234 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:10.200 can have Marcus Morris start. And of course U you know George and Kauai 235 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:15.359 and Zubach. But the thing is is that he's just gonna get your early 236 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:19.160 shots, put a lot of pressure on the other team, and then he 237 00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:23.319 energizes the rest of the guys so they're into it. And I used to 238 00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:27.559 compare or I still do trying to compare him to his look like Tyrese Maxie 239 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:34.640 if of Philadelphia. But Tyrese Maxie had just got more opportunity than Terrace, 240 00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:40.039 especially this year. But Terrace is everything that Tyrese is, maybe more, 241 00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:44.440 and they just got to give him more opportunity. And he'll have the numbers 242 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:48.200 just like the last two starts twenty one and then next twenty five. So 243 00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:53.839 when he's playing well, he gets all the run, you know, Coach 244 00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:59.000 lou he goes with the hot hand. Yeah, but the thing is stayed 245 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.400 with him for a little bit because, as I said, getting that early 246 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:06.960 shot and getting everybody motivated is really something. If you know, the Clippers 247 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:11.000 are notorious and starting to slow in the first quarter, so that's why they're 248 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:15.279 coming back from twenty points down and thirty points down. You know, let 249 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.640 him get out there and maybe the don't have to come back and play up 250 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.640 hills for the rest of the game so much, Okay, Jean, I 251 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.759 appreciate the phone call. The thing I like from Terrence Man is coming off 252 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.119 the hot shooting night he had with twenty one points in Dallas and the hot 253 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:37.079 temper night that he and Luca Doncher chad. He started off aggressively, even 254 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:41.039 without just getting shots at the RAM. His first two mates were jump shots, 255 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:45.400 believe it or not. When he has that going for him, and 256 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.559 while he only went one of five from distance, he hit a couple on 257 00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:52.440 the mid ranch and then defenses, well, they had to play him closer 258 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:57.000 and he could blow right by him. When he has that complete game going 259 00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:02.680 like that, and we've seen it, people called him baby Kawhi before because 260 00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:06.400 some of that mid range is there. If you can unlock it, there's 261 00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:08.799 a completely different Clippers squad. I agree with you. They feed off his 262 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:15.200 energy. It permeates throughout the roster when he's getting up and down the floor 263 00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.119 like this, And I think that's something he learned from Patrick Beverley, who 264 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:23.599 I believe just signed an extension with Minnesota recently. But when one guy is 265 00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:29.119 playing that hard all the time, everybody else has to raise their level of 266 00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:34.680 play. And Terrence Man creates that energy, creates that mindset that you have 267 00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:40.000 to have out there, even when you know you got the Phoenix Suns tomorrow 268 00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.279 night and you might have to save some energy. But the Clippers actually because 269 00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:47.880 they got up by so much, Marcus Morris was under thirty minutes. Same 270 00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:52.440 with Batom of Eats a Zoobots again. Covington, we'll hear from him in 271 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.519 a little bit again, he gave them really good minutes Saturday night. He 272 00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:02.519 was a plus twelve in his twelve minutes, only hit a couple of shots, 273 00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:07.720 but defensively contesting everything. And he has some of that rare ability like 274 00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:14.119 Isaiah Hartenstein, where he can track the ball and get those easy deflections or 275 00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:18.359 blocks because of it, just the anticipation factor with him. It's something we 276 00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:22.759 saw even a little bit with Eric Bledsoe too. Certain guys can get those 277 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:29.039 chase down blocks. Covington has a knack for it, that innate ability. 278 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:32.319 That's a really good pickup for the Clippers, and they're using him the right 279 00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:34.960 way, putting him in corners. That's where he hit. Knocks down those 280 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:40.240 threes from hit two of them in this one. Clippers win one nineteen to 281 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:41.160 one on four. We'll take a quick break. We'll get back to your 282 00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.799 phone calls.

Clippers went one nineteen to one over four over step Curry in the 293 00:22:55.119 --> 00:23:00.559 Golden State Warriors. I called my grandma earlier, who lives in San Francisco, 294 00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.079 and she thinks Steph Curry's cute. And so I was talking some junk 295 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.039 and be like Graham and the Clippers tonight they're gonna take down the Warriors. 296 00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:11.319 Just you wait, and they did.

Coming up, We will get back to your phone calls 298 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:18.480 at eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy. Eight six six nine 299 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:23.319 eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. But I do want to 300 00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:33.079 hear from the mastermind behind what's been an unbelievable stretch for the Clippers of having 301 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.680 guys out no Powell now, no Luke Canard tonight and him just holding things 302 00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:44.200 together. It's coach Lou post game who just seems to figure out the right 303 00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:48.599 matchups at the right time to unlock the best of what he has available to 304 00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.720 him here he was speaking with the media. It was a bit of a 305 00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:55.559 struggle for you guys. I think, you know, we scored the ball 306 00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:57.240 a little bit, you know, and kind of kept Hi out of transition, 307 00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:00.920 you know, on miss shots, and so when we scoring the basketball, 308 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:04.279 was able to get back and set our defense and they don't really push 309 00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:07.880 it fast after after makes, and so that was good for us. And 310 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.119 also a teammate getting in the back court and not allowing Step to catch it 311 00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:12.880 early and then backing up. I thought it was really good for us. 312 00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:17.480 And so when you're scoring, you could stay out of transition, you know, 313 00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:19.799 most of the time. And so that's what we did. But you 314 00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:22.079 know, I just thought tonight was one of our you know, most complete 315 00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:25.319 games of the season, you know, on both sides of the basketball. 316 00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:29.039 Even with Step getting off to that that hot start, you know, we 317 00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:33.640 was able to adjust and you know, do a better job with blitzing small 318 00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:37.720 small picking rolls instead of switching Zoo. Was better than the second half of 319 00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.799 getting up blitzing and not allow him to turn the corner. And I think 320 00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.440 what happened, what seven points in the second half after having twenty six and 321 00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.839 a half times. So the guys did a really good job with just locking 322 00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:51.799 in and understand what we wanted to do defensively after stepped out to that a 323 00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:53.839 hot start. I remember that, you know, in the twenty sixteen finals. 324 00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:57.279 You really made step for work in that series, and it looked like 325 00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:00.079 tonight, you know, even though he was getting his all offensively tough contention, 326 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.880 looks he's really made him work on the defensive side of the floor. 327 00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:07.839 How much is that part of your game? Planning to really tire him out 328 00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:10.279 on that end, hopefully doesn't you know, affect him on the offensive too. 329 00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:11.640 I mean, he's so dangerous, probably the most dangerous player in the 330 00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:15.559 league, you know, the way he can get hot and score the basketball. 331 00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:18.440 So we gotta make him work on both ends and try to get him 332 00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:19.880 in foul to if we can try to warm him down, try to hit 333 00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:22.440 him as much as possible. Like you said, you know, when you 334 00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.519 deal with a two time MVP and someone I have great respect for, you 335 00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:29.799 know, you just gotta try to keep him involved and just keep him in 336 00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:32.559 ash and trying to wear him down. You gotta remember in you know, 337 00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:36.640 two thousand and seventeen, In two thousand and eighteen we witch to him still 338 00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:41.000 with Clay Thompson and Kevin durrown the floor. So that's how dangerous I think 339 00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:42.400 he is. And so that's what we had to do tonight, had to 340 00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:45.920 do a better job of getting our biggs up because we were late. But 341 00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.319 you know Steve, Steve does a great job of running some actions where the 342 00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:51.839 biggs always trailing and he can split it. He can do different things. 343 00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:53.119 But in the second half, I thought we did a way better job. 344 00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:57.480 It's how you have plenty of evidence that you guys are a pretty resilient group. 345 00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:00.839 But having the Luca you know, forty five and fifty one and you 346 00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:04.680 guys staying close or winning those games so fresh in your memory. Did that 347 00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:07.599 help tonight? You guess whether the first quarter? Yeah, I think so. 348 00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:10.839 But I mean, like I said, the biggest thing we kept scoring, 349 00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:12.039 you know, just like in Dallas, like he was scoring a lot 350 00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:15.400 of he was scoring, step was scoring in that first quarter. But we 351 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:18.480 were still up, you know, So that was just a good thing, 352 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.680 you know, to weather the storm. And then down a stretch of the 353 00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:25.519 first quarter they kind of took the lead and always up by three. I 354 00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:29.720 think so Luca in the Luca game. The second game, he wasn't scoring 355 00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:32.400 that much in the first quarter, and so we was able to, you 356 00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:34.240 know, score some points and kind of you know, keep him at bays 357 00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:37.640 like we did tonight with with the with the Warriors was Step got a hot 358 00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:41.079 and start. There was Coach lou post game Clippers win in one nineteen to 359 00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:45.599 one oh four here in downtown Los Angeles over the Golden State Warriors. They're 360 00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:49.680 low point for a quarter was twenty five if you were spend all points they 361 00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:53.039 scored in a quarter tonight was twenty five. They had thirty four, twenty 362 00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:56.640 seven, thirty three outside of that, and that was in the fourth quarter 363 00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:00.519 when they also called off the dogs. I don't know how many games I 364 00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:04.359 can say that happened this season where their lowest scoring quarter was still twenty five. 365 00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:11.599 Clippers offense, you heard Coach lu there. They kept in sync and 366 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.960 it made a great point, a salient point as a basketball mastermind. But 367 00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:21.119 when you're scoring, you don't have to worry so much about getting in transition 368 00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:26.920 or you're transition defense failing you because you're hitting shots and they're taking it out 369 00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:29.799 of bounds underneath the basket. Every time you get sit on the other end. 370 00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:34.920 That's huge Clippers, huge victory on Valentine's Night they take down the Golden 371 00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:38.440 State Warriors one nineteen to one oh four. We'll take a quick time out. 372 00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:44.279 We'll come back. You'll hear from Robert Kevington post game he had eleven 373 00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:52.480 ranna something this one that it serves like one of a few PG ones. 374 00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:56.119 I guess at this point, now there's anything wrong with that. I'm not 375 00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:02.920 criticized at Grihanna ever. Know that Moore Clippers stock next only at five seventy 376 00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:15.599 only sports EMBLA LA Clippers Basketball continued, safe time shot down the stretch. 377 00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:23.440 This is the official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. Everything that I see 378 00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:30.039 on show halve new motions and love scrape in the bottom of their on. 379 00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:38.039 Now you left jamrk on me. I'm show hove motion Clippers in one nineteen 380 00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:42.200 to one oh four over the Golden State Warriors here in downtown Los Angeles, 381 00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:48.799 live from Crypto dot Com arena. I'm out of Moslin eight six six ninety 382 00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:52.279 eight seven two five seventy eight six sixty ninety eight seven two five seventy is 383 00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:56.599 the phone number I just saw this stat from my friend law Murray of the 384 00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:03.799 Athletic saying, the Clips lost their first eight games of the season where a 385 00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:07.960 player made four or more three pointers in a quarter against them, but since 386 00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:11.839 then they've won two straight. Luca don Chich had four three pointers in the 387 00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.279 fourth quarter Saturday night. Steph Curry had four three pointers in the first quarter 388 00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:21.960 tonight. The Clippers survive and they overcome it. The hot shooting that used 389 00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:26.319 to come back to haunt them by one player in one quarter seems to be 390 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:30.640 turning around. But we'll see tomorrow night they're in Phoenix. Before that, 391 00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.839 though, I do want to hear from Robert Covington post game, one of 392 00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:40.440 your newest Clippers, and I believe he was speaking with Jamie Mozio on Valley 393 00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:45.400 Sports Christina Pink again on Valley Sports. Every time, Brian, a fantastic 394 00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:49.079 win, indeed against the team that's got the second best record in the NBA. 395 00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:52.119 You guys let at halftime and really broke this game open in the second 396 00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:55.680 half. How are you guys able to put the clamps on them late? 397 00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:00.039 Just think it's our game play Defensively, We came out and said that we 398 00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:02.759 knew that they was gonna be a third quarter team. They've been known for 399 00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:07.440 that. Uh, someone's sneaking behind you. Hey, my guy, here's 400 00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:12.000 my guy's work, and clip Nation already. Hey, let's get a baby. 401 00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:15.799 But just overall steak to the game plan and the guys came out of 402 00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:18.720 execute it. So that's what the main thing was. And we stuck out 403 00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:22.640 throughout it that entire third quarter and then to finish out the game. You 404 00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:25.440 know, that's what kind of separated us. I think Reggie wants to introduce 405 00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:29.519 you to Clipper Nation. You had eleven points off the bench, which was 406 00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:33.599 huge. But what you've been able to do defensively, you seem to deflect 407 00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:37.519 anything that comes in your vicinity. How are you always in the right spot 408 00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:41.519 on defense? Read and react? You know, I've built my legacy and 409 00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.160 build my revertation off the defense, and you know I brought my defensive mentality 410 00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:47.559 here. So for me, we just talked about this before the game. 411 00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:51.480 Uh, but just you know, watching a lot of film and being instinctive 412 00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:53.559 like read and react and watching plays and you know, just having the overall 413 00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:59.480 react and not hesitating. So you know, it's just it's just a matter 414 00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:00.839 of just keep following it through a you know, exqing the game plan. 415 00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:06.480 This is just your fifth game as a Clipper, and you've already had an 416 00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:10.279 impact. What's your comfort level so far with its team? Man doing anything 417 00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:11.920 by any means necessary, you know, that's why they brought me here. 418 00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:17.400 I'm a guy that can do any system any row. So whatever say you 419 00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:18.960 asked me to do, I'm gonna do it. And you know I come 420 00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:22.079 here and bring that mentality so you know, once once I get out there 421 00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:22.559 on the court, you know it's just to do it all guy, And 422 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:26.680 that's what I'm gonna bring.
