00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:06.240
Time for a postgame. Look,
it's your La Clippers. This is Clippers

2
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:10.000
Locker Room, brought to you by
Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of

3
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:15.119
the La Clippers, and by Patschonga, official travel casino of the La Clippers.

4
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:19.320
Breaking down today's action with the pre
and post game voice. If you're

5
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:24.640
La Clippers, they're locking in every
game, every night. Adam Ousland and

6
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:29.839
mind the only one having deja vu. The Clippers do it against the Cavaliers

7
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:35.920
at home again last season, down
thirteen with five minutes left. This time

8
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:40.119
they up the stakes. They were
down twenty six and they come back to

9
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:45.159
win as Paul George drops thirty nine, has twenty three in the fourth and

10
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:50.320
the Clippers are victorious with a one
twenty to one eighteen victory over the Cavaliers.

11
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:54.119
Welcome into your postgame show coming up. They're on the Patriot Am eleven

12
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.799
fifty. We'll have Clippers sock for
you. Eight seven seven five two zero

13
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:03.280
eleven fifty eight seven five to zero
eleven fifty is the phone number. But

14
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.159
let's get back to crypto and get
back to your radio voice of the Clippers

15
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:11.239
and Carlo Jimenez. Carlo Let's start
with PG thirteen. Paul George, who

16
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.159
I believe played the entire second half
he finished at forty four minutes played,

17
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.680
got to his thirty nine points on
just twenty four shots. None bigger than

18
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:27.000
the go ahead jumper over Evan Mobleylee
ooh, and Evan Mobley needed a map

19
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:33.400
because he was lost. Oh my
goodness, Adam Ouslin talk about takeover mode.

20
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:41.519
Paul George put this team on his
back and he took them the distance.

21
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.400
What an epic performance by George,
outscoring the Cavaliers down the stretch with

22
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:52.200
one of the game saving blocks by
the way as Garland trying to drive through

23
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:57.879
traffic. It really was, Adam
the complete performance from Paul George, and

24
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.840
we talked about it. At one
point it looked like they were getting too

25
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:06.719
much into the hero ball, but
Paul George continued to be the hero for

26
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:12.840
the Clippers down the stretch. What
a way to get a win. I

27
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.439
mean, the defense, the defense, the defense, eighty first hand points

28
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:22.439
for Cleveland, they score thirty eight
in the second half. Just an unbelievable

29
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:27.479
turnaround, the flip the switch.
Clippers are ready for the playoffs. I

30
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.000
think with just four games remaining,
I gotta give coach Lou a ton of

31
00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:36.560
credit, especially down the stretch.
The Clippers were down by six. I

32
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.560
believe when he went back to small
ball, it worked. It spread the

33
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:44.080
floor out a little bit more.
The Clippers had more of a sense of

34
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.280
urgency on the defensive end. They
were flying around. You mentioned the block

35
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:51.919
by Pg. Thirteen, and it
was just the right mix at the right

36
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.159
time by Coach Lou, once again
pushing all the right buttons. It was.

37
00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.400
I mean, the ability to stick
to that lineup is impressed, because

38
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:04.000
there were moments in that game where
we thought maybe another guy would help here

39
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.240
or there, But the Clippers,
they stunk to what was working, and

40
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:12.759
what was working never broke and they
got the win down the stretch. I

41
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:17.319
mean, just unbelievable stuff for this
Clipper team. The ability to fight,

42
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:23.479
to attack, to be great.
On the defensive end, I thought they

43
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.919
were ex I mean, Adam,
they had fifteen turnovers with eight minutes to

44
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.960
go in the third quarter. They
had won the rest of the way.

45
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:36.520
I mean, everything they needed to
flip just came their way because their effort

46
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.360
and intensity was so so different.
What a game, What a way to

47
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:45.080
get a win for this Clipper team, who can now clinch a top six

48
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:49.759
seed if Phoenix is able to defeat
New Orleans later today, the Clippers were

49
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:53.240
down twenty six. They come back
to win once twenty to one eighteen at

50
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.240
home over the Cleveland Cavaliers. And
while we have a moment, let's pause

51
00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:00.639
ten seconds for station identification here on
the Los Angeles Clippers Audio network, this

52
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:10.199
is LA Clippers Basketball AM eleven fifty
k e IV, Los Angeles and iHeartRadio

53
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.960
station. We mentioned it during the
broadcast, but late in that fourth quarter,

54
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:18.279
a couple of huge three pointers by
Terrence Man and a mere coffee role

55
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:24.480
players showing up offensively in big moments
to knock down big shots. That's the

56
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:29.759
type of stuff you need from your
contributors come playoff time. Carlo, Yeah,

57
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.279
yeah, I mean those guys were
so so good down the stretch to

58
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.839
hit those shots, to have that
confidence to stemp up in those moments.

59
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:41.920
I mean, Terrence Man underratedly,
Adam. The last two games has been

60
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.639
near perfect six for six tonight this
afternoon, yesterday, two days ago.

61
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.480
Gosh, I don't know where I
am, what time it is. I'm

62
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.920
sorry. They put us in a
whirlwind tonight goodness. I felt like we

63
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:56.199
watched two games today and we kind
of did with away that first half and

64
00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.800
second half whin But Terrence Man eight
for nine Friday against Utah. That huge

65
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:02.879
shot a mere coffee off the bench, Adam, he was zero for five

66
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:08.160
and he steps into that shot with
all the confidence in the world and gives

67
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.879
the Clippers their largest lead of the
game. It was a complete team win.

68
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.920
It was a complete team win.
Down the stretch. They out rebounded

69
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:21.160
Cleveland and by twelve twenty six assists, one turnover down the stretch. Really

70
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:25.639
felt like Adam at one point we
were thinking, man, this is a

71
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.199
tough one to swallow. After the
win over Utah, Oh my goodness,

72
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.439
what a momentum building when this could
be that magic number continues to shrink for

73
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.879
the Clippers and they continue to show
that they can win in a multitude of

74
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.240
ways the rest of the way.
I love the fact that this showed off

75
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:46.079
their heart, their will, their
determination, and that grit and never give

76
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.959
up mentality. The Clippers didn't have
that in the second half. Oh,

77
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:57.600
they finally found it in the final
I want to say, seventeen minutes of

78
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.040
this one. Carlo Jimenez, they
were by twenty six. They go on

79
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:05.639
to win by a final of one
twenty to eighteen over the Cavaliers. They're

80
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:11.279
out for their final road contest coming
up on Tuesday, a home and home

81
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:16.240
starting in Phoenix against the Suns before
they visit the Clippers on Wednesday. Tiptime

82
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:20.920
from Phoenix, Arizona is at seven
pm on Tuesday. Well, if your

83
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:28.079
pregame shows starting at six, Carlo, spectacular call. As always had me

84
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.199
on the edge of my seat and
sometimes I was falling off of it with

85
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.879
some of those buckets. The Clippers
were able to get late, right friend,

86
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.720
great call. We'll talk to you
in Phoenix on Tuesday. Yes,

87
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:39.720
sir, talk to you then,
Adam, appreciate you want to win.

88
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:45.480
Let's go. Second half highlights.
The Clippers were down twenty six, they

89
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.519
come back to win by two over
the Calves. And you're listening to the

90
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:55.480
Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network. LA
Clippers Basketball is on the two one three

91
00:06:55.600 --> 00:07:00.360
era continues. You're listening to the
LA Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network.

92
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.959
Clippers come back down twenty six at
home over the Cavaliers. They win

93
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:12.160
one twenty to one eighteen. Who
Flipper Nation? How about those hashtag comeback

94
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.600
clips. Yeah, I put the
batstycle out there. I put out the

95
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.519
hashtag comeback clips when they were down
big. But even I had my doubts

96
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:26.120
early in that third quarter. But
the Clippers were able to turn things around

97
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:30.639
in the third. Here was Carlo
Jimenez on the call for it bin shovel

98
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.199
Zoobots righty foter up and down.
Pretty play out of the time out for

99
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:38.399
the Clippers. Zubats put back trickles
down at George Cen double looking for a

100
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.920
slitherous face, skips to the rim, flips of Zubats left baseline jumper from

101
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.680
Zoo. Is it Oh? That
eats the Zubats extending the range down the

102
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:48.480
left down they find Zubats in the
right block, prices among the trees,

103
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:56.639
and finishes fourteen and ten for Zoo. Big Zoo made his impact felt in

104
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:01.199
that third quarter, but the Clippers
were still down by a dozen heading into

105
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:07.160
the fourth with your third quarter score
ninety eight to eighty six, but more

106
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.720
than manageable for this team. Again. Last season at Crypto, they were

107
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.480
down thirteen with five minutes left against
the Cleveland Cavaliers. They came back to

108
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:22.319
win that time so they were in
an even better position this time, and

109
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:26.000
they made the most of it thanks
to Pg. Thirteen Paul George with his

110
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:31.160
best performance of the season in their
time of need. In the final quarter,

111
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.159
Westbrook, top of the arnkeyeos the
logo finds plumbly holds the ball left

112
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.039
pocket back door to George. He
raises and packs it with the right hand

113
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.679
elevation sensation, hands up to George
on the right wing one on one with

114
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.600
a coral, crosses over works left, loses a coral straight away, three

115
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:52.480
bulls up back the George left quarter
or three steps back working on Allen with

116
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:58.240
two a three at the horn buries
it. Paul George bell out bonus distance

117
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.879
fucket in the front Garland throws it
away George the steel Here comes George.

118
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.200
They roll out the red carpet and
he lays it up with the right hand.

119
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.080
George on the baseline, working against
LeVert lost it now picks it up

120
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.440
off the neck veins and fires from
eighteen. There is it. George at

121
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:18.000
the freaking line with five to shoot, working on Mobley with three right elbow,

122
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.240
with two steps back his jumper.
There reason Paul George with ice in

123
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:30.039
his base Clippers by two seven point
one to play time out Cleveland. There

124
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:35.039
was your go ahead winning jumper from
PG thirteen Paul George, who would eventually

125
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.519
have a block on the other end
and get the stop on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

126
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.960
As the Clippers climb back down twenty
six to win one twenty to one

127
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:50.320
eighteen at home over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Give it up next your final box

00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.840
in the third quarter. The Clippers
were down by twenty six, just to

154
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.840
totally redeem them themselves and get a
one twenty to one eighteen victory at home

155
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.799
over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Welcome into
Clippers Talk. I'm am oslin to eight

156
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:13.879
seven seventy five two zero eleven fifty
eight seven seventy five to zero eleven fifty

157
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.799
is the phone number coming up on
the show. You're gonna hear from PG

158
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:22.399
thirteen Paul George coach Loop postgame.
Believe chuck erwill from Clips and Dip will

159
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:28.279
be here. I know a very
ooh remorseful Cavaliers fan that's in the building

160
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:33.799
actually here at am five to seventy
in the Patriot Am eleven fifty at iHeart

161
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:37.919
is uh. He's gonna be joining
me here a little bit. The apology

162
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:43.799
tour continues as the Clippers do it
again third time this season. They have

163
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:50.679
come back down twenty or more fourteenth
time since the twenty eighteen twenty nineteen season.

164
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.200
What was so special about this is
just how drastic that turnaround was,

165
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.480
where they gave up eighty points in
the first half to the Cavaliers, only

166
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:07.000
to give up thirty eight in the
second half, less than half the points

167
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:11.159
they gave up in the first half. It was better defense, it was

168
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:16.000
the Calves going cold. It was
that momentum swing. Momentum is a funny

169
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.039
thing, but it's real. You
could feel it in the arena, and

170
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.080
this Clippers team played their best when
they had to have it, including Paul

171
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:30.279
George, who was just four for
fourteen entering the fourth. He'd go six

172
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:35.440
for ten with his twenty three points
in the fourth quarter, including the game

173
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:41.879
winning jumper as he dropped Evan Mobley
on the step back on the right elbow.

174
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.919
Oh, I thought I was watching
the an one mixtape tour there,

175
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:52.000
Paul George Pg. Thirteen. Did
I tell you he's been playing great since

176
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:58.720
March? This maybe was his best. He wins sixteen of sixteen from the

177
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:05.120
free throw line, had eleven boards, seven assists in thirty nine points.

178
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.080
And that Clippers crew that helped bring
him back with him and Norman Powell and

179
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:13.000
Russell Westbrook and Terrence Man and a
mere coffee out there and made some blummely

180
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:18.039
at times, and big Zoo in
that third quarter, and Coach lou going

181
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:26.360
small late when they were down at
about the three minute mark, as the

182
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.679
Cavs weren't going away. The Clippers
had to earn this one more than earn

183
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:35.840
it with hitting big shot and then
getting stop after stop, and they did

184
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:43.440
so while playing small late they were
able to pull it off. You were

185
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:50.440
trading defense for offense, you would
have thought, but instead this team got

186
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.200
gritty. There was more of a
sense of urgency out there, and huge

187
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:58.200
three pointers from Terrence Man at the
one sixteen mark and then a mere coffee

188
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:05.360
at the forty second mark that had
the Clippers up three. The only thing

189
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:11.039
wrong that Paul George did was really
foul Jared Allen and let him get that

190
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.440
in one. Let him get the
shot up. If you're gonna foul there,

191
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:16.960
you can't let him get that shot
up. That would tie the game

192
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.440
at one eighteen. But then Paul
George more than made up for it with

193
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:28.320
the step back thirteen footer was seven
seconds left and oh yeah, then block

194
00:15:28.440 --> 00:15:33.480
Darius Garland on the other end with
about a second left. Clippers win one

195
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.799
twenty to one eighteen over the Cleveland
Cavaliers. Let's start things off here on

196
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:43.720
Clippers Dock on the Patriot Am eleven
fifty with Sean in Inglewood's Good Sean,

197
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:50.559
Hello on a beautiful game. Huh
beautiful game? Yeah? How about it?

198
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.720
Yeah? So Clipper Nation, Adam, will you say it with me?

199
00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:03.039
Are you not entertained? Hey,
Sean, I was interested in your

200
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:07.200
thought on the Clippers going small late
in that one in the game. Well

201
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:12.399
again, what they did is that
they mixed it up. Variety is what

202
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:15.559
I've been saying. But you cut
me off and think I only want tall.

203
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:19.720
I want you don't want tall.
You've asked for them to play a

204
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:23.720
Vista Zoobots and Mason Plumley at the
same time. That's how tall you want

205
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:27.320
it. Sometimes not all the time? I said, mix it up?

206
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:32.519
How many times you keep mixing up
my message? Make it a damn saying

207
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:36.279
you want me to read it?
Yes you are? Yes you are?

208
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:41.120
I say you mix it up?
Sometimes? Did I not even send you

209
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:44.240
an email a long time ago and
say get Daniel Tye He is one of

210
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:47.919
the guys on my list. I
like that, the fact that they have

211
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.240
these guys because there's other ways they
can be utilized. I mean, for

212
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:55.120
the first time in a million years, they let you Zuba take a jump

213
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.799
shot. You know, so,
I mean, you can mix it up

214
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:03.920
a little more, but yeah,
and you know he switched. I just,

215
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.880
Sean, I just know this.
If they had lost to the big

216
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.720
Cavaliers team, a big team you
say they can never beat you, I

217
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.640
would have been hearing all day about
you saying they played too small, they

218
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.599
gotta play bigger. And then they
won the game playing small and you got

219
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:23.559
nothing. Wait a minute, for
the most game part of the game,

220
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:27.599
you had one of the two in
the game. Is that playing big?

221
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:33.599
That's just playing tradition. That's not
playing big, that's just playing traditional basketball.

222
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:36.920
Sean, there's a big difference.
You would have said coming into this

223
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:40.319
one, you gotta play both of
them against Evan Mobley and Jared Allen.

224
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:45.559
That's what you've said before. I'm
saying that in the last three minutes they

225
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.440
did something they didn't do the entire
game. Okay, And if they had

226
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:52.079
lost, you would have blamed it
on that. If they got on the

227
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.559
other end, run exactly exactly.
That's all I want to hear, Sean,

228
00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.640
That's all I want to hear.
Okay, So give coach Lou credit,

229
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:06.160
right, So give coach Lou credit
credit. Coach Lewit on the good

230
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:11.960
ship. Reality, there's still just
sixteen six and seventeen against those tall teams.

231
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:15.400
So you you I didn't want to
say it, but it's the truth

232
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:18.039
and and and you know, records
don't lie. It sounds like a stat

233
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:21.279
that just pulled out of thin air. But all right, Sean, you

234
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:23.400
at least said you. You at
least admitted you would have gone after him

235
00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:26.319
if had they lost this ball game. I appreciate that much. Mark,

236
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.960
and hainsen Beach, you're a clipper
sack with that Amazon. Well, i'll

237
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:33.359
tell you what. They keep getting
me excited. I still don't have any

238
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:38.519
fingernails on my fingers yet because of
the last three games. But this was

239
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:45.400
just good coaching, good substitutions,
perfect execution, and uh, you know,

240
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:47.759
this is what we're going to look
like in the playoffs, hopefully with

241
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:49.920
a little bit better lead going into
the last two minutes of a fourth.

242
00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:53.039
But yeah, I don't want to
see him down twenty six all the time

243
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:56.200
in the playoffs. Mark, That's
not how I want them to No,

244
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.319
No, I didn't mean. I
didn't mean that part. No, oh,

245
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.240
that the biggest storyline of the game. You didn't mean that far.

246
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:07.160
They were down twenty six. I
know, well, I've been watching the

247
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.920
comeback clips all year long. Yeah, I mean sure I had hey,

248
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:15.480
you know, but so what's the
latest on Kawhi? Have they on his

249
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:19.599
comeback mark? If I had that, I would have probably led with it.

250
00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:22.440
It's Kawhi Leonard. I don't think
there's gonna be a lot of information

251
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:25.960
out there. I don't know if
you're aware of how this usually goes.

252
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:30.839
But inflammation right knee, day to
day. That's the latest, same as

253
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:33.240
two days ago. Okay, all
right, Well it was a great win,

254
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.720
very exciting win. Uh and uh. Like I said, gold clips,

255
00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:41.119
let's go. Let's take a quick
time out here. The Clippers were

256
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:48.759
down twenty six. They come back
on the back of Paul George with twenty

257
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.319
three points in the fourth quarter alone, thirty nine in the ball game.

258
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.440
Clippers win once twenty to one to
eighteen at home over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

259
00:19:55.480 --> 00:20:00.960
They've won three straight at home after
losing five straight, building up that home

260
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:07.000
court advantage again. I want to
see them have that in the first round.

261
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:10.480
So I have an update for you. Damn it. The Mavericks blew

262
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:15.720
out the Rockets in that overtime eighteen
to seven, so they remained two games

263
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.720
back at the Clippers. They're in
the five spot. Technically, it's really

264
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:23.119
three games back with four to play. Say the Clippers need one more victory

265
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:27.680
to secure that four spot. I'm
at a Mosland. You're listening to clipperstock

266
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:33.680
here on the Patriot Amblum fifty.
LA Clippers basketball is on the two one

267
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:38.359
three Era continues. You're listening to

Carlo Jimenez though on the call on the

269
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:56.240
Clippers twenty six point comeback victory versus
the Cleveland Cavaliers. Welcome back. In

270
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:02.000
the Clippers talk, I'm at a
Mosland forms by PG thirteen. Been saying

271
00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:07.839
that a lot lately. He looks
ready for the playoffs. Clippers are back

272
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:12.240
to being the comeback resilient Clippers.
Holding the team to thirty eight points in

273
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.799
the second half when you gave up
eighty in the first half. That is

274
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:21.000
unbelievable. It's the only way it
could happen a turnaround of this nature.

275
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:23.039
It was about the last twenty minutes
of the ballgame where the Clippers went from

276
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:30.119
being down twenty six to up by
two. This is now the sixth time

277
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.079
in franchise history. I brought this
up pregame that the Clippers have reached the

278
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:40.039
fifty win mark. Last time was
in the twenty sixteen to twenty seventeen season.

279
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:45.799
This is the third largest comeback win
in franchise history. Now, I

280
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:49.359
don't know if that's including the playoffs, because that would make sense there where

281
00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:56.039
they've come back down thirty one,
biggest playoff comeback of all time in Game

282
00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:59.200
two against the Golden State Warriors back
in twenty nineteen, and then the thirty

283
00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:04.599
five point comeback in d C over
the Wizards a couple of seasons ago.

284
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:12.279
The Clippers now, I believe,
are six and zero. When Paul George

285
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:19.400
or Kawhi Leonard go for double digit
rebounds PG thirteen eleven, was flying around.

286
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:26.400
Wasn't just also on offense, the
three pointers and the jumpers. He

287
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.599
went to the basket to get hacked
a ton sixteen of sixteen from the charity

288
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.319
stripe. It's got to be an
individual record, I would think from him,

289
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:37.839
we'll look on that and look into
that too. Mike in La,

290
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:45.640
you're on Clippers talk with that A
mouse and I Mike, Hey, Mike,

291
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.519
Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Guess what day it

292
00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:53.599
is. Guess what you're up?
Mike killing me? Tage's a walnut after

293
00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:56.079
a twenty six point come back.
I got to deal with that dead air

294
00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.720
for Mike well a from coach Loewen
a little bit and Paul Joe let's hear

295
00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:03.240
from Tagus and Walnut Dajus my friend. I don't know. You're not gonna

296
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:07.079
leave me hanging. Come on,
no, I I was actually gone for

297
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:10.960
two and a half weeks. I
was in Europe and I just got back

298
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.519
last night and I was unpacking my
bag and I was like watching the game

299
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:19.440
and I was like, for three
quarters, just bad mouthing. Then I'm

300
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:25.400
like, this game is over,
and man, what a comeback. It

301
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:29.200
was a fun game to come back
to. I've been following along, but

302
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:33.079
it seems like they're kind of been
picking it up a little bit in the

303
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.359
past week. Is that right?
Picking it up the Clippers. They're now

304
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.880
six to one in their last seven
ball games. Yeah, so I've been

305
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.599
follow along that is it more due
to their defense or offense? What would

306
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:48.960
you attribute it to? Because you
fill me in a little bit. I

307
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:52.119
mean, it's been up and down, just like today's ballgame, but it's

308
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:55.720
about the defense. Coming into this
one. They've been top ten in their

309
00:23:55.759 --> 00:24:00.440
last six games defensively, actually seven
games defensively, and they were five and

310
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:04.920
two over that time. Now they're
six and two. They've gotten back to

311
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:08.279
at least in the second half of
this one. Digging in their heels on

312
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.440
defense is the only way you could
come back when you're down by twenty six

313
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:15.200
with eight minutes left in the third. Yeah, and it seemed like kind

314
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:19.640
of Westbrook kind of set the defensive
tone leg in that third quarter when he

315
00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:25.720
came in. He definitely played better
defense than he has since he has returned

316
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:30.240
easily. I would say this was
a game where you know Russell Westbrook,

317
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:34.799
and the Russell hustle was noticeable in
the second half. There were still some

318
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:40.759
shots I didn't like, with taking
a three pointer, a step back jumper,

319
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:44.640
he missed a layup as he was
blocked by the backboard. But overall,

320
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:48.960
Russell Westbrook very necessary in this one. They don't come back without him,

321
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:55.400
I agree, And Plumby did really
well defensively as well, but a

322
00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:59.400
man pg's looked like from what I've
seen, and I was flawing along a

323
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:03.160
little bit by he's back in his
groove and and it seemed like Harden he's

324
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:06.359
been struggling a lot, and he
was shooting well. I don't know,

325
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:11.319
did they just did Tyler decide to
go with the Hut the team that was

326
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:15.480
like coming back, or did he
Was he hurt and he didn't play in

327
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:17.920
the fourth? There was a question. I mean, he was six of

328
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:19.720
eleven and four of eight from the
outside with his twenty two points. He

329
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:22.759
was having a really good game,
even though they were down offensively, he

330
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:26.559
was very efficient. But I think
it might have been related to the fact

331
00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:30.519
that one the Clippers were coming back
and Coach Lou's stuck with the guys who

332
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:33.880
were bringing him back. And two
maybe he was on a minute restriction because

333
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.000
earlier today it sounded like he was
questionable to play in this one. He's

334
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:41.720
been dinged up. Maybe they were
looking to get him some rest. He

335
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:45.680
plays under thirty minutes for once,
which never happens with James Harden. He's

336
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.880
been a workhorse for them. So
I don't know. We'll hear from coach

337
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.160
lun a little bit, okay,
and I'll just ask you this. I'm

338
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:55.799
sure you guys have talked about it. I haven't been able to keep up,

339
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.839
but it looks like right now we're
trending toward the Dallas. What are

340
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:03.440
your thoughts on Dallas versus Pelicans.
I know there's no good matchup, but

341
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:10.599
I've been talking about the Nazi and
my friend, but I've been saying Dallas

342
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:15.000
I believe actually is the worst opponent
for the Clippers to have to play because

343
00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.640
defensively they've actually been top ten their
last thirty two games. The misconception about

344
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.440
them that they are bad defensively has
gone out the windows since the trade deadline.

345
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.640
But it doesn't seem like there's gonna
be any other option, especially if

346
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:32.680
Phoenix loses later tonight. It may
be in Stone that the Clippers take on

347
00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:34.759
the Dallas Mavericks in the first round. I know they have two more with

348
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:40.839
Phoenix, but Dallas one earlier today
over the Houston Rockets in ot They were

349
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:44.559
down three late in the fourth quarter. I'm not sure who hit the three

350
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:47.839
pointer to bring him back. I'll
just guess it was Luca Nagis, who

351
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:51.720
finished with thirty seven to nine and
twelve assists. We'll take a quick time

352
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:53.920
out. We'll come back. You
know what before we take the timeout.

353
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:57.680
I'm sorry, Katie, I do
want to hear from PG thirteen Paul George

354
00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:04.519
postgame. Paul George had thirty nine
twenty three points in that fourth quarter alone

355
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:11.759
and just the will to drag his
team across the finish line with key contributions

356
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.519
and buckets late from Mere Coffee and
Terrence Man with huge three pointers as well.

357
00:27:15.559 --> 00:27:18.400
But I couldn't be more impressed with
the way Paul George has been playing

358
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.319
over the last month now, and
it has been over a month of stellar

359
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:26.799
play. It appears the left knee
soreness is behind him, the left groin

360
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:33.200
injury. Paul George is back and
the Clippers came back down twenty six to

361
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:34.960
win this one thanks to twenty three
from him in the fourth quarter. Here

362
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:41.200
he was on Valley Sports postgame speaking
with Christina pink Gigi with the game tie.

363
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:45.000
You had the step back on one
end and then the critical block on

364
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:48.359
the other. How are you able
to make the plays when it mattered the

365
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:53.079
most? U just trusted myself,
just played a game. We got to

366
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:56.559
play the game. I always say, played a game to it zero was

367
00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:00.960
on the clock, and that's what
I did, just locked into the game.

368
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:06.240
Well, you played forty four minutes
tonight instead still had twenty three in

369
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:08.480
the fourth quarter. How did you
have the legs to come up with those

370
00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:12.200
buckets? Uh? It just you
know, will My body's so good.

371
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:18.079
I thought the game is in reach. I didn't want to go on a

372
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:22.319
bitch and waste time sitting on a
bench. Just keep my body warm and

373
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.000
just stay in attack mode. I
thought I was in an attack mentality,

374
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:30.160
and Telu granted me that wish to
play in starting the fourth and I just

375
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:33.240
tried to come through an elevated team. You guys gave up eighty in the

376
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:37.880
first half and battled back from a
twenty six point deficit. What does it

377
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:41.079
tell you about this group that you
guys came out on the winning end of

378
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:47.359
this. It's not ideal. It's
not ideal, but it just shows the

379
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:49.079
toughness to grit at this time of
the year. All right, thanks,

380
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:52.839
Pete, appreciate thing well. George
post game, I like that it is

381
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:56.559
that ideal. You're still want to
put it together for forty eight minutes,

382
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:02.200
but you will take the dub and
dramatic, and the Clippers were down twenty

383
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:07.720
six. They did it earlier this
season, down twenty two against Golden State,

384
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:12.079
down twenty in Houston, now down
twenty six. I'm not sure what

385
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:15.480
the biggest comeback is so far in
the year. It might be this by

386
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:18.759
any team in the league. More
on that coming up. More Clippers Stock.

387
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:22.039
Get back to your phone calls eight
seven seven five to two zero eleven

388
00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:26.880
fifty eight seven seven five two zero
eleven fifty, and you'll get to hear

389
00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:32.720
from a distraught, maybe despondent Cleveland
Cavalier fan. Next here on Clippers Stock

390
00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:38.079
on the Patriot Am eleven fifty loading
Clippers fully loaded with Clippers fans. This

391
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:44.400
is LA Clippers Basketball. You're listening
to the LA Clippers on the LA Clippers

392
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:52.119
Audio Network. Well, the coward
Bob Schmidt is running from the grinds and

393
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:56.720
will not be joining me postgame after
his Cavaliers blue a twenty six point lead

394
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:03.640
to our Los Angeles Clippers. Welcome
back in This is Clippers Talk. I'm

395
00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:07.599
Adam Osland. Paul George had thirty
nine, twenty three and the fourth and

396
00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:12.640
the Clippers came back down twenty six
in the last twenty minutes of the ballgame.

397
00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:17.519
Join the show right now is will
Updyke from Clips and Dip for some

398
00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:22.359
double dip here on Clippers Talk.
Will you know what, I won't read

399
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.799
any of these text messages I was
getting from you and Chuck Macklin when they

400
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:30.519
were down big, because I think
everybody was feeling like, oh, it's

401
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:37.559
another Matt Nation show exactly, That's
what it was. I think the PG

402
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:41.319
elite. Okay, I'm not going
to read that. Let's talk about this

403
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:44.880
Clippers team at how they were able
to do it. I mean, should

404
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:48.839
anyone be surprised at this point?
Hashtag comeback clips. They've been doing this

405
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.400
for years. I know it can
be frustrated sometimes and even Paul George postgame

406
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:56.359
said it's not ideal, but to
know they still have it in them,

407
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:03.000
it is meaningful in a game like
this where you're down big and they just

408
00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:07.359
showed some heart out there in front
of their home fans. Yeah, I

409
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:10.640
mean, I agree. It was
absolutely huge, and honestly, they just

410
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:12.039
kind of had to tighten up on
the defensive end and get out of their

411
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:15.519
own way, you know, Like
I think that that's the thing that gets

412
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:21.039
more frustrating more so than just like
the sheer number of points they'll be behind.

413
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:22.440
Is like, like you said,
you know, we've seen them do

414
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.359
this time and time again, so
it shouldn't be surprising that they can come

415
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:30.359
back. But we also see them
time and time again not really come out

416
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:34.359
with the right defensive energy or mindset, and just some sloppy play like when

417
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:37.400
the turnovers, when you have what
like eleven or twelve turnovers at the half,

418
00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:41.400
I mean, that's you know,
that's just a recipe for disaster.

419
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.880
Even though this one had some sort
of the hallmarks that we know to be

420
00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:51.480
a Clippers win statistically, right like
Terrence Man scoring in double digits, James

421
00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:53.359
Harden with twenty points, even though
he was on a minute restriction, like

422
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:56.359
Zoo with the double double, Like
there are all these little things that like

423
00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:00.440
generally speaking, when we kind of
hit these benchmarks, we win. But

424
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:04.119
just due to the turnovers, like
I said, in that lack of defensive

425
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:08.599
consistency, it was just I mean, it's a hard position to put yourself

426
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:14.839
in. But all the credit in
the world for overcoming that adversity and actually

427
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:17.359
getting over the hump and getting through
that one, and I got a little

428
00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:22.160
tense, a little nervous about the
late game execution with Paul George had that

429
00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:24.240
foul with under a minute left to
go to tie up the game on the

430
00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:30.000
Jared Allen free throw, but again
they came over it. In PG more

431
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:32.960
than a race to that mistake in
the final second of the game. I

432
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:38.039
mean, twenty three points in the
fourth quarter in the arrayas shots he was

433
00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:43.000
hitting, but just kind of the
will and the drive. He had to

434
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:45.240
keep competing like that. That was
a poor defensive play. But then he

435
00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:50.440
had the block at the very end
on Darius Garland also to make up for

436
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:53.440
it, and he just looks so
much more explosive out there. There was

437
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:58.039
that back door cut from him,
I think early in the fourth quarter on

438
00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:01.799
the Mason Plumbley pass for the big
throwdown. Paul George is healthy again.

439
00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:06.759
I think for anyone thinking that,
oh he's washed, what was happening over

440
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:12.480
that two month stretch in January and
February and him looking just lethargic out there

441
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:16.559
scoring I think only eighteen a game
that's gone. Now PG thirteen looks like

442
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:21.359
he's back at the peak of his
powers here will Yeah, I mean,

443
00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:22.920
I agree, one hundred percent.
And he talked about it postgame, you

444
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:27.000
know what, like about the when
he was asked about the minutes load in

445
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:30.240
that second half, and he said
that he didn't see the point in coming

446
00:33:30.279 --> 00:33:31.720
off and being on the bench.
His body was warm, like you know,

447
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:35.880
he wanted to stay warm. His
body felt good. So that's really

448
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:37.440
reassuring news for Clippers fans. And
I think you know, I was,

449
00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:43.680
I was somewhat hard on Paul George
during that stretch of play, not so

450
00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:45.480
much the lack of scoring, but
just like what we were seeing on the

451
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:50.440
defensive bendom of the floor is just
was far below what we know that he's

452
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:53.440
capable of and what is necessary for
this team to succeed. But you know,

453
00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:57.680
it's easy to overlook that he,
you know, coming back from the

454
00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:01.039
groin injury. You know, that's
it's the injury that's five lines a lot

455
00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:06.079
of guys, and it's not as
smooth of a even if there's no you

456
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:09.679
know, full terror or anything.
It's just it's not an injury that there's

457
00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:14.320
like a real clear timeline on when
you're going to be back and when your

458
00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:15.599
body is going to be good to
go. And I think, you know,

459
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:20.400
seeing this late season spur from Paul
George. I mean, I think

460
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:22.760
this is just exactly what we need
it. You know, we talked about

461
00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:25.480
peaking at the right time, and
Paul George is doing that and the team

462
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:31.880
is starting to coalesce a little bit
better together. I think it's impressive that

463
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:36.400
they've been able to stack up some
wins even with the big dog out of

464
00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:40.480
the lineup. You mentioned Terrence Man
earlier. His last two games, he

465
00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:45.960
is fourteen of fifteen from the field, with a couple of threes in there,

466
00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:50.800
and then just a relentless pursuit of
getting to the basket. And that

467
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:53.679
is the Terrence Man that I love
most, when he's cutting to the basket,

468
00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:58.400
when he's using his athleticism and showing
off the pop he has as one

469
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:02.159
of the younger players on this team. To me, those are usually trademarks

470
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:06.119
of when you have a big comeback
like this, terrace Man is involved.

471
00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:08.480
It happened again in this one.
Also, that big three point or late

472
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:14.400
that certainly helped. Oh absolutely.
I mean, Terrence hasn't great, Like

473
00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:17.239
we know what he can do.
It's great to see him have the confidence

474
00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:21.280
back battling out there on both ends. Of the floor. I don't want

475
00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:23.360
to say as great as Paul George
was, this I feel like was also

476
00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:30.039
a remarkable game for some of those
role players. Norm obviously we know what

477
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:35.239
he can do, but Man and
Coffee both hit a huge timely threes to

478
00:35:35.559 --> 00:35:38.599
keep the Clippers in this one,
and that lineup I thought was super interesting

479
00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:43.079
at the end. Two obviously hardened
with the injury and no Kawhi, so

480
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:47.840
it kind of MUCKs things up.
But Paul George with with Terrence Man,

481
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:53.360
a mere Coffee, Russell Westbrook and
Powell, I thought like that it's so

482
00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:57.719
small going against Jared Allen, but
they were able to make it work.

483
00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:01.559
I really applaud the applaud the rotation
decision there by by Tyler as well.

484
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:07.440
The Clippers were down by twenty six. They win one twenty to one eighteen

485
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:10.239
over the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is
Will Updyke. I believe we have a

We'll update you on the Western Conference

493
00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:49.119
on Clippers Duck on the Patriot AM
eleven fifty. LA Clippers Basketball is on

494
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:52.760
the two one three Era continues.
You're listening to the LA Clippers on the

495
00:36:52.920 --> 00:37:01.599
LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers do
it again again and again three times this

496
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:07.440
season. They've been down by twenty
or more and they have come back to

497
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:12.320
win. Today their most dramatic victory, down twenty six at home to the

498
00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:15.639
Cleveland Cavaliers, a top three seed
in the East. Although they may have

499
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:21.840
fallen after this victory. Let's hear
from Coach Lulo postgame on Clippers Talk.

500
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:25.559
I want to hear from him and
how he interpreted his team's ability to come

501
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:30.159
back and to show that resilient nature
once again. That's been their identity over

502
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:34.480
the last five years. A team
that never gives up, never gets in,

503
00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:37.679
just somehow, some way finds a
way to get victories. Here was

504
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:42.679
coach lou post game, and it's
a huge change. You guys go from

505
00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:47.000
allowing eighty points in the first half
to only allowing what thirty eight in the

506
00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:51.400
second half. What did you see
the big difference was? What did it

507
00:37:51.480 --> 00:37:53.840
just look like? You guys had
a whole different type of energy that second

508
00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:58.199
half. Yeah, I mean our
physicality picked up. I thought we were

509
00:37:58.199 --> 00:38:00.840
better defensively, and then in the
first half, it just ran wherever they

510
00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:04.760
wanted to go. It was our
it was our point of attack defense one

511
00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:09.039
on one to straight line drives and
blowbys with no resistance, no physicality,

512
00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:13.159
and you know, it's tough to
win like that, and so they had

513
00:38:13.239 --> 00:38:15.679
to scramble mode xing out low man
coming over, and we just couldn't control

514
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:19.760
the ball. And so we challenge
our guys at halftime, like, we

515
00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:22.039
know we could score to the basketball, but can we get stops? Like

516
00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:24.280
can we you know, pick our
physicality up? Can we guard our man

517
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:28.239
one on one? If you guard
your man one on one, the help

518
00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:30.000
defense is easier, but if you're
getting blown by, it's just too hard.

519
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:32.880
And so I'll give our guys credit
that second half. You know,

520
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:37.440
outside the first maybe six mints of
that third quarter. After that, we

521
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:42.599
really started defending. We really got
into them aggressively, and that changed the

522
00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:45.480
game. And so that's that's who
we got to be, and that's who

523
00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:47.320
we've been for the last eight ten
games. And in the second half,

524
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:50.880
you know, we really got back
to it. Tying to give you,

525
00:38:50.880 --> 00:38:52.960
guys, won by two points.
Norm was a plus nineteen, Russ was

526
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:55.880
a plus eighteen. You stuck with
those guys pretty much the entirety of the

527
00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:59.039
rest of the way once they checked
in. What did you see from those

528
00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:01.480
two that allowed that trend to take
place? The energy, the energy of

529
00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:06.159
Russ brought the energy Norm ball and
then you know, shot making be able

530
00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:08.679
to attack early and in transition.
But I thought Mace was great as well.

531
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:12.559
I thought Mace, you know,
really brought a lot of energy.

532
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:15.159
A Mirror was huge t Man and
Mirror making those two threes at the end.

533
00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:17.480
So like it was a total team
effort, you know, like I

534
00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:20.920
said, but our bench came in
and gave us, you know, a

535
00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:25.800
lot of pop, you know,
and so from Russ or Meir, Mace

536
00:39:27.159 --> 00:39:30.760
and he was just it was just
big for us. And so that was

537
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:34.239
a big win for us. I
just wanted to confirm first that James,

538
00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:39.960
James is fine, yes, And
then when Paul has a couple of shots

539
00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:43.679
going on the fourth early, I
saw you you kind of signed to rust

540
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:45.360
just left PG bring the ball up
and kind of uh any street from there?

541
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:49.920
I guess how much how much fun
is it first of all, just

542
00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:51.840
to have a guy who can just
throw the balls and say, all right,

543
00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:53.760
go get us some buckets. And
second, when did you realize he

544
00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:58.400
was kind of on it? No? I mean he played a good game,

545
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:00.599
you know, all the way through, and I just thought, you

546
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:02.400
know, at the end of the
third quarter, usually comes out and you

547
00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:06.079
know, with you know James,
not you know, being smart, not

548
00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:07.519
being to go back in. You
know, we just said, he said

549
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:09.519
let me, let me go.
So he's sure, He's like, yeah,

550
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:13.280
let me let me play. And
so I said, all right,

551
00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:16.079
cool and went with him in the
fourth quarter. Was abating a couple of

552
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:20.199
times to get him out for two
minutes and bring him back. But he

553
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:22.639
said he was good. He said
it was okay. And I mean the

554
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:24.360
huge game he had tonight, we
needed every bit of it. Just rebounding

555
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:28.280
the big block shot at the end, you know, the big you know,

556
00:40:28.320 --> 00:40:30.880
the game winner, you know,
so he was huge for us,

557
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:37.480
you know all night just looking at
what you did defensively to change the game.

558
00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:42.599
I mean you defended with Mason and
then you went small for that last

559
00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:45.599
three minutes, that last ten over
run. I just really want to key

560
00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:50.920
in on, like what did you
see with Terrence and that group that you

561
00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:53.440
that you needed to execute there?
Yeah, Mace came in, did a

562
00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:55.679
good job, and you know we
had Mace up to touch more and more

563
00:40:55.719 --> 00:40:59.960
of a corral blitz and they heard
us a couple of times, you know,

564
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:01.800
with that, you know later on
in that fourth quarter. And so

565
00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:05.559
then just going with t Man to
try to switch all those triggers, make

566
00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:07.400
them play one on one and if
we had a fire, we'd be ready

567
00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:09.960
to fire, but just be able
to switch all that, you know,

568
00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:14.039
keeping a body on the body,
not really blitzing and let them have four

569
00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:16.400
and three on the backside. And
so we just adjusted to that, and

570
00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:22.559
like I said, it was good
for us. Coach Low their post game

571
00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:28.400
after the twenty six point comeback by
your Los Angeles Clippers, one more call

572
00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:30.519
here, I wonder if this is
another person to turn the ball game off.

573
00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:34.639
As I'm getting a lot of those
messages. What the Clippers won?

574
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:37.519
I gotta watch the second half.
I turned it off. I was upset.

575
00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:40.519
Come on, have you not learned
with this team? They don't give

576
00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:44.840
up. You can't give up on
them. Mitch and a jizy. I

577
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:50.840
know, I know Michigan turned it
off. Mitch, what's up? Coach?

578
00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:54.960
Yeah, Mitch, oh, Adam, I didn't even hear you know.

579
00:41:55.000 --> 00:42:00.239
I'm driving along with how you doing? You know, just time?

580
00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:06.280
The season is sprints. So if
you haven't that situation, you go on

581
00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:09.159
as soon as you have a gun. I know it's too way for full

582
00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:13.960
of Georgia has a VP, but
he deserves the raid and he deserves the

583
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:17.840
extension now and I'm liking where I'm
seeing from Karen s Fann. All right,

584
00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:22.239
Mitch, all right, Mitch finishing
strong like the Clippers. He was

585
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:24.880
down twenty six at the start of
that phone call, too, came back

586
00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:30.360
one by two. Clippers one twenty
to eighteen was the final before we get

587
00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:35.119
out of here. I do want
to thank the Clippers organization. Ralph Lawler,
