00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:33.240
it three straight and they've won seventeen
of the last twenty two ball games.

00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:36.560

let's pause ten seconds for station and edification

11
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:53.560
here on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio
Network. But first we can do it.

12
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.079
We gotta do it. It's like
a legal thing. This is LA

15
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:12.239
Jimenez, your radio voice. The
Clippers rejoins us here as the Clippers dominate

16
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:15.400
the fourth quarter, win it twenty
six to nineteen, and really dominated the

17
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:19.599
entire second half of this one.
Carlos, they were excellent. It all

18
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.239
starts sentence with Kawhi Leonard, his
ability to set the tone on the defensive

19
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.439
end, to keep up in transition
to run with this team, Adam,

20
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.840
they were so good once he started
to take control of this game, able

21
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.599
to push a one point lead to
ten air in that third quarter. They

22
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.280
end up going up by seventeen to
get it done. This is Miami Heat

23
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.680
team that came in scorching hot,
that came in hitting all of their shots,

24
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.719
that was up twelve after the first
quarter. The Clippers shut that down

25
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:51.680
quick and flex their muscles. It's
not the first time in this long streak

26
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.040
of winning for the Clippers that they
have had a slow start. But when

27
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.640
things pick up, they look like
the best team in the NBA, and

28
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.439
Kawhi Leonard looks like the best player
in the NBA when he's doing it like

29
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.400
this. Picked up right where he
left off, but kind of eased into

30
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.159
the game in the first quarter,
just a couple of takes. But then

31
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:12.439
in that second there was a different
level of aggression out there, where he

32
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:16.599
had thirteen points on five of six
shooting, found his rhythm, kept it

33
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.479
going early in the fourth, a
couple of big throwdowns, a big three

34
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.039
pointer, and that opened the game
wide up. Yeah it did, and

35
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:25.639
the team continued to rally behind him. I mean, he played so well

36
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:28.719
at him that they were taking him
out with The game was over in the

37
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.479
fourth and we had team man say, ain't a one come out of game?

38
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.960
Keep playing thirty five flaw when you
make him angry. I know,

39
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.120
I know you don't. You gotta
imagine he's gonna be a little more acressive

40
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:42.400
next time out against the Phoenix Suns. But man, it was so incredible

41
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:46.120
to watch him get this team going
of each a zubots at another twelve rebound

42
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:50.240
game. Clippers got contributors from everywhere, all up and down this lineup.

43
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.919
The turnovers weren't great tonight, but
the Clippers fought through those and they were

44
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:59.120
able to take advantage of Miami's turnovers. Something we talked about pregame at him

45
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.680
that utah I had twenty six points
off the nineteen Miami turnovers. Clippers had

46
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.159
twenty four points off the fourteen Miami
turnovers. Tonight. That was huge.

47
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:08.919
But his Clippers team, yeah,
they were able to get in transition get

48
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:13.520
some easy ones. You talk with
te Man postgam and he said, I'm

49
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.400
just getting back to playing my style
of basketball. You can see even though

50
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:21.599
yeah, he knocked down his first
three pointer, couldn't get the other one

51
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.759
to go. But just him getting
into the paint and transition and getting down

52
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:30.400
hill and that driving ability and that
rim pressure. That is a big part

53
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.960
of his game. That has been
I would say, the most reliable part

54
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.039
of his offense since he has come
into the league five years ago. That's

55
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:39.919
what team Man brings. So when
he's feeling good like that and having put

56
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:45.840
backs and easy layups defensively, he
just becomes even better on that ends as

57
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:49.120
it just fuels you. Once you
get your offense going, you're a little

58
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.000
bit more locked in out there.
Clippers is a team. Same thing.

59
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.319
When they started knocking down shots and
Paul George got on that heater in the

60
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:59.520
third quarter with back to back three
pointers, a tough turnaround jumper, I

61
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.080
just felt the floodgates started to open
up and the Clippers started to slow down.

62
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:05.560
Bam Aute Bio and Kevin Love at
the basket as they were trying to

63
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.840
feast on the Clippers playing smaller.
An underrated part of this game, Adam

64
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:14.000
is, I think the Clippers' ability
to defend without fouling as the game went

65
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:16.199
on. I mean, this Miami
team, especially out of Bio, was

66
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.720
doing all of their work at the
free throw line to start this ballgame into

67
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:25.439
the early parts of the second half, but the Clippers were able to lock

68
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.279
down on the defensive end, not
allow them to get to the line with

69
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.240
ease and really make it tough for
a Miami team who shot thirty two percent

70
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:36.240
from three, when in reality their
rotations got twenty eight percent for three.

71
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.680
Came coming into the night, they
were tied for the NBA lead in three

72
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:44.800
point percentage and thirty nine percent.
Yeah, Clippers fourteen of twenty nine from

73
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.600
the outside. Not too shabby in
that area either, And they've slowly been

74
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:53.399
getting better and better and creeping up
in the NBA stat statistical category of three

75
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:57.480
point percentage. And this is a
team that has been top three three point

76
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:01.000
shooting team for years now under coach
lou they have the ability to be I

77
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.839
think even better with the personnel they
have now. James Harden once again three

78
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:09.800
to five from the outside. He's
been shooting over forty three percent from three.

79
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:13.519
So they can compete with the best
in the league. And you mentioned

80
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:15.920
their perimeter defense pretty good tonight against
the Miami Heat, And I was a

81
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.680
little bit concerned coming in because I
figured the Heat would be able to bounce

82
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.879
back after having a four to three
point shooting night against the Utah Jazz,

83
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.560
and that lob of averagers will be
in their favor. But going up against

84
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.560
this Clippers defense, with the way
they've been playing last month, now,

85
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.560
it's just different. And now here
in twenty twenty four, this Clippers team

86
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:36.160
looks very dangerous. Carlos, They
look very, very dangerous. You mentioned

87
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.879
it during the broadcast. But since
November seventeenth, only three teams have a

88
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.639
better record than the Clippers, the
Celtics, the Timberwolves, and the Bucks,

89
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:49.240
and all those three teams are in
conversations for a championship, and the

90
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:54.920
Clippers are joining that conversation. You
heard team man mention they've had a couple

91
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.160
games now, three straight games.
They have two days off before it starts

92
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.000
to get busy for the Clippers coming
up. You talked about Adam nine to

93
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.800
sixteen. We'll see how that affects
this team if they can keep the rhythm

94
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.759
going. Kawhi did get the eleven
days off. He's coming from injury,

95
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.240
but that's a lot of time off
for the claw. We'll see how much

96
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.199
he's able to play in that stretch. And the good thing was he looked

97
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.120
to be back in rhythm once he
kind of forced the issue a little bit

98
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:20.480
more in that second quarter. Paul
George in that third quarter was special Ofviza

99
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:25.560
Zubas continues to feast. I know
he only had six points, but twelve

100
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.439
boards, and he was more impactful
to me in the second half. And

101
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.560
I want to give credit to Russell
Westbrook coming in the game and guarding Kevin

102
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:38.079
Love when they needed somebody to try
to slow him down. He was taking

103
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.040
it out on some of the UCLA
guys for the Miami Heat and this one

104
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:44.720
a little Ucla UCLA crime going on. Yeah, I'm sure those guys probably

105
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.839
see each other every summer in the
runs that they hold over their UCLA's practice

106
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:50.959
facility. Reuss was excellent, especially
in the second half at him. I

107
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:56.000
thought his energy set the tone defensively
with those back to back steals. He

108
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:59.439
then forced the twenty four second violation
at the top of the arc. Working

109
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:00.399
on out of bay, I had
to throw up a prayer that didn't hit

110
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.759
the rim. Look to the crowd. The crowd, for whatever reason,

111
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:10.600
seems a lot more into it when
he Russell Westbrook is out there making defensive

112
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.639
plays, trying to prove that he's
one of the elite defensive players in the

113
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:17.160
NBA. He's pulling off that old
Patrick Beverly like defensive move where whard he

114
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:23.680
locks up a guy, he puts
up the index finger to indicate all first

115
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.040
team defense, and you look on
the season, I think he's holding the

116
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.720
fenders to around forty percent in his
primary matchups. He's been that good,

117
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.600
and he's taken a lot of pride
in his defense. He wants to be

118
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.920
recognized for that. And it's a
great thing to see a guy as his

119
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.399
game later on in his career.
The ball doesn't need to be in his

120
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.240
hands as much when he's affecting the
game on both ends of the court like

121
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.839
this. Yeah, he's able to
run to the rim. Fine guys cutting

122
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.600
underneath the iron. Three assists tonight. This season. So far, Russ

123
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:55.839
has been averaging about five assists,
which is second on this team. The

124
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.319
three point shot didn't go down from
but it has his late knockdown two threes

125
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:01.560
in each of the prime or two
games before this one. Continues to be

126
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.720
that spark plug off the bench and
continues to be a part of that bench

127
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:07.839
unit along with Norman Powell that is
just excellent. I mean Norm might have

128
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.040
had his best game is a Clipper
tonight, nine for eleven from the field

129
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:16.720
a season I twenty two points,
four for five from three he barely missed

130
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:18.199
to go along with a pair of
steels and a pair of rebounds. He

131
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.920
was fantastic for the Clippers and continues
to get it done in fourth quarters.

132
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.480
I believe he was three of three
from the field. He came into this

133
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.200
one shooting fifty seven percent from the
field in fourth quarters. Something you have

134
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.639
kept your eye on, Carlo Jimenez
and a stude observation by you. The

135
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.240
Palell Rangers being led by Norman Palette
times and just his otherworldly shooting down the

136
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:46.240
stretch of ball games. Yeah,
it's it's been such a huge advantage for

137
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.240
this Clipper team because threes late in
games, when you can swing from eight

138
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.519
to eleven, from five to eight, from eleven to fourteen. Those threes

139
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:58.840
are huge. They swing games,
multiple possessions, and Norman pal Can he

140
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.039
used to deliver with those jumpers in
the corners, feels like he has so

141
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.639
much confidence, supreme confidence. A
guy off the bench who's averaging twenty six

142
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.240
minutes a game, but he plays
thirty three tonight, makes nine field goals

143
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.639
and all of a sudden, I
don't know what more he has to do.

144
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.519
I think oftentimes six Minute of the
Year just comes down to a points

145
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:20.000
conversation. Who's having those points per
game? And Norman Palell is creeping that

146
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.799
scoring average more and more. The
last thirteen games, he's averaging over fourteen

147
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.200
points a game. I don't know
how what he has to do to get

148
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.879
into the six minut of the year
conversation, but it feels like he should

149
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:33.039
be in it with the way he's
playing. And he was the only player

150
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:39.360
tonight off the bench that had a
positive plus minus in that category of plus

151
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.799
thirteen and a game. The Clippers
win one twenty one to one tozh four

152
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.559
over the Miami Heat. I'm with
you. Start the campaign now, Norman

153
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.480
pal six Man of the Year,
not just a candidate. Put him as

154
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.480
one of the front runners. normOn
Palell special with twenty two points nine of

155
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:58.679
eleven shooting and it has been troublesome
for the opposition to try to slow him

156
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:03.840
down. Clippers next game coming up. As Carlo mentioned, it gets tough,

157
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.279
a couple of tough ones on the
road. They'll be in Phoenix on

158
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.120
Wednesday. Tip off for that once
at six. Well of your pregame show

159
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:15.519
starting at five against the Phoenix Suns
team that is starting to get it together

160
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:18.759
a little bit when it comes to
health. Bradley Beal is back, but

161
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.000
Kevin Durant in play tonight they would
take down the Portland Trail Blazers. Anyways,

162
00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.759
expect him to be available on Wednesday. So a big matchup in the

163
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.679
West, a big matchup in the
Pacific Division. Clippers in Phoenix on Wednesday.

It was fifty nine to fifty eight

had thirteen points on five of six shooting.

193
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.360
his eventual twenty three in that third
quarter, and all of a sudden,

194
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:45.200
the Clippers were up by twenty heading
into the fourth. Seen this story before

195
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:50.039
happened on Friday night too, but
this time the Clippers kept the foot on

196
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.600
the gas and it was Kawhi Leonard
with the pedal to the medals to start

197
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:58.519
the fourth. Clippers left the right
rush Lasers Leonard right Block'll rock the rin

198
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:03.559
to him. Westbrook looking for Leonard, finds him near baseline, drives the

baseline, gets maun A file Rippers
plunging right handed himmer. Here comes the

Claw, bleeding the Troops into the
front court top of the R three Yes,

201
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:22.039
twenty four. Kaw Kawhi ended up
the Claw with seven more points in

202
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.320
that fourth quarter, a couple of
throwdowns as you heard there, a huge

203
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:30.000
three pointer that put him up by
sixteen. Eventually he was taking out,

204
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:33.720
taken out of the game for playing
too well. You could say, Terrence

205
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.919
Man came in for him. Kawhi's
knight would end at thirty four minutes.

206
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:41.159
Had twenty four points on ten of
nineteen, shooting two of five from the

207
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:45.720
outside, a couple of highlight dunks
plus five assists, and the Clippers go

208
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:48.279
on to win one twenty one,
so one oh four here at Crypto dot

209
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:52.600

game working with a trainer. Didn't end

217
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:35.480
up playing was available, wasn't needed. Clippers win big by seventeen over the

218
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:41.320
Miami Heat. They've won three in
a row. They've won seventeen of their

219
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:46.080
last twenty two since the new starting
lineup. Everything seems to be working and

220
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.879
coming up roses right now for you
Los Angeles Clippers. Kawhi Leonard return and

221
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:56.399
had twenty four and did big work
in the fourth quarter. A huge two

222
00:14:56.440 --> 00:15:03.159
handed throwdown, a great feed from
Russell Westbrook, just lobbed it over the

223
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.240
defense. Not easy to throw it
down with two hands without a runway.

224
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.720
Kawhi Leonard, looking spry, picked
up where he left off ten of nineteen,

225
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.679
two of five from the outside,
twenty four six and five assists,

226

got postgame audio from the players and
coach Lou. We'll get your phone calls.

245
00:16:52.200 --> 00:17:00.120
I promise it was the return of
Kawhi Leonard, something I predicted a

246
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.000
week ago. I get lucky once
in a while. Once in a while.

247
00:17:03.880 --> 00:17:07.039
I know it's not supposed to be
received season, it's humility season.

248
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:11.440
But I'm having a relapse because I
think it was Wednesday or Thursday on Cliffs

249
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:17.960
and Dip or we're going through our
player predictions, player of the game predictions

250
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:22.039
for the upcoming two games in Memphis, or against the Memphis Grizzlies here at

251
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.640
Crypto and then the Clippers hosts of
the Miami Heat. Against Memphis. I

252
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:30.839
took Terrence Man. He was in
double figures, looks better and better,

253
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:34.359
got a three pointer to go tonight
in the first quarter. But then I

254
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:38.319
said, I'm going bold with it. I'm predicting Kawhi Leonard's gonna be the

255
00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:44.240
player of the game against Miami,
which means he'd have to be back after

256
00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:48.640
missing the last eleven days the last
four games, and boy was he back.

257
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:56.799
And then some twenty four points ten
of nineteen shooting and just explosive dunk

258
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:02.079
after explosive dunk in the fourth quarter, a two hand in rim Rocker,

259
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:07.279
then the dunk on Bam out of
Bio took a baseline a three pointer,

260
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:14.079
and Kawhi was a little upset getting
pulled out of the game. He want

261
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:18.680
to keep going. He loves the
game. He missed the game, but

262
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:23.960
he made his presence felt in his
return and helped the Clippers pull away in

263
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:30.359
this one. They led by as
many as twenty two, they win by

264
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:36.319
seventeen, and they have won seventeen
of twenty two. You're into numerology.

265
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:41.640
Since November seventeenth, Why is that
date important or significant? Because that's when

266
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:47.799
they made the starting lineup change.
That is when Russell Westbrook started coming off

267
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:52.799
the bench. The self sacrifice too, as VTB would say, him offering

268
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:56.279
to come off the bench as it
wasn't working in the starting unit with him

269
00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:03.319
and James Harden. Terrence May got
into the starting unit, and since then

270
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:07.640
the Clippers are seventeen and five,
even with Kawhi missing four games during that

271
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:14.319
run, even with Paul George missing
a couple, pg's been struggling a little

272
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:17.480
bit more compared to his performance to
start off the year, where the first

273
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:22.920
three weeks you could easily say he
was their best player. But Kawhi has

274
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:26.680
just been not just the Clippers' best
player, looking like the best player in

275
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:32.319
the NBA. But he started slow
Tonight, just took two shots in the

276
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:36.599
first eight minutes of the first quarter. In the second, though, is

277
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:41.960
when Kawhi got it going, and
wouldn't you know it would start with a

278
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:48.200
mid range jumper over Haimi Hakez,
who played well tonight, had fifteen points,

279
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:52.599
a little fifteen footer his first points
of the ball game, then a

280
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.279
three at the end of the shot
clock in the second. Then he went

281
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:03.400
around Tyler Herro could not guard him
and bam out of Bio for a layup,

282
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:08.400
and then had a putback on a
mislayup by Harden in transition for an

283
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:15.400
and one as he fell to his
backside a floater over Tyler Hero He had

284
00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:21.920
a block that led to a hardened
lob to a Viza zubots a fade away

285
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:26.359
in the third. It was nasty, it was money. Kawhi even lost

286
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:30.359
the ball at one point and had
that found money as Carlo Jimenez would say,

287
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:34.440
picking it back up for an easy
layup. But then in the fourth

288
00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:40.480
the two handed jam without a runway. That tells you how good he's feeling

289
00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:44.839
with his legs underneath him. And
then the dunk on Bam a Kawhi three.

290
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.559
Clippers were up sixteen, went up
by twenty two, end up winning

291
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.759
by seventeen. They just looked dominant. They're looking like a well oiled machine.

292
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:59.039
And the scary part is this,
I don't think they're close to peaking

293
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:06.279
with James Harden yet. Harden had
I tests would tell you an okay game.

294
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:10.279
He only took eight shots, but
he was five of eight. Three

295
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:15.599
of those makes were three pointers,
but ten assists to just two turnovers.

296
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.160
On a night where the Clippers had
seventeen of them, most of them coming

297
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:23.160
in the first half, Harden had
just two. Even with the ball being

298
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.880
in his hands. A Ton only
had to play thirty one minutes as opposed

299
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:33.000
to the forty two he played Friday
night against Memphis. But guys, I

300
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:37.240
told you he'd unlock the best version
of two pine three. He's doing it.

301
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.359
His first bucket was a layup,
then a three or another layup in

302
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:45.000
transition, to tie the game in
the second quarter, where the Clippers were

303
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.319
down by fourteen early on the second
not a good first quarter. Kawhi just

304
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:53.720
kind of eased his way in.
Paul George did have eight points in the

305
00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:57.200
first, but the Clippers were down
thirty five to twenty three, down twelve

306
00:21:57.559 --> 00:22:06.079
after the first twelve minutes. Harden
had a nasty, nasty passed to a

307
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:10.759
Viza Zubas for a reverse layup to
put them up sixteen in the fourth.

308
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:15.440
Then he just lobbed it over the
defense again to Zoo for a layup over

309
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:18.720
Duncan Robinson. He just it's mortar
fire. With some of his passes over

310
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:22.880
the defense, he was being doubled
and he thought, oh, he's gonna

311
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:25.480
have to find somebody else near him
on the perimeter to get out of this

312
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:26.720
one. No, he just threw
it over the top of the double team

313
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:34.519
and somehow found to Beata Zubas.
He is a savant, a basketball savant.

314
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:41.759
How people could have been against them
bringing in James Harden. It's not

315
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:48.440
a head scratcher. That is mouth
the gape baffling to the nth degree.

316
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.480
It's just how would you not want
the guy or why would you not want

317
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:56.559
the guy who led the league in
assists last season. He has made the

318
00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:03.880
Clippers infinitely better. He has made
everyone's life easier. And this is what

319
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.640
he's been doing the last couple of
seasons. Joe el Embiid was the MVP

320
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:17.480
last year partially because James Harden helped
him set the table, got him to

321
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:22.279
his spots, and then rush tonight. You know, I thought he had

322
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:27.720
a rough stint in the first half. He had a turnover early on,

323
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:33.400
then he got a jumper over Kevin
Love, then a spin move around Heimi

324
00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:40.599
Hawk as he was torching his UCLA
brethren. But he went up in the

325
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:42.680
second quarter or near the end of
the first, he was trying to draw

326
00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:49.119
fouls when they weren't being called.
They basically were turnovers, just forcing it,

327
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:55.000
taking difficult shots, thinking he'd get
a foul called. Didn't happen.

328
00:23:55.440 --> 00:24:02.559
But then in the third his post
defense on Kevin who probably has fifty pounds

329
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:06.640
on him, and back to back
possessions was insane, ended up with steeles

330
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:12.559
for us, got a layup out
of one of them. He was defending

331
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:21.319
Bam to start the fourth. He's
priding himself on the defensive end right now.

332
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:26.440
He wants you to know this is
what he can do. He had

333
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:32.880
a lockdown defensive play on the perimeter
against bam Adebayo, resulting in I want

334
00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:36.640
to say that was the twenty four
second shot clock violation for the Mammi Heat,

335
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:40.400
A team that doesn't make a lot
of mistakes like that. It's either

336
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:48.119
here Tyler Harrell. He got it
on special guys accepting new roles, starring

337
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:52.880
in them, showing off different parts
of their game. Russ has never made

338
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:59.000
a defensive all defensive team. I
don't believe could be time he keeps playing

339
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:03.920
like this just seventeen minutes, but
I thought they were impactful. Eight points,

340
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:10.119
four of ten, shooting, four
boards, three assists, those turnovers,

341
00:25:10.119 --> 00:25:14.519
But defensively is where I thought he'd
shine tonight. And now let's talk

342
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:21.319
about Norman Powell. Immediately a three
and then a steal, but a floater

343
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:25.720
to start the second quarter. Another
three in the second, a three off

344
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:30.119
a Kawhi pass in the second as
the double team came, Kawhi found him.

345
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.240
Norm had a nice runner in the
third going to his right, a

346
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:40.519
quick jumper in the fourth, a
dunk out of a timeout when they sicked

347
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:45.960
the Power Rangers line about there basically
norm replacing Terrence Mann with the rest of

348
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:52.200
the starters. That's the Powell Rangers
lineup. Another floater. He went three

349
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:55.119
or three in the fourth quarter from
the field. He came into this game

350
00:25:55.160 --> 00:26:00.440
shooting fifty seven percent from the field
and fourth quarters in over fifty one percent

351
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:10.240
from three and fourth quarters this year. Ridiculous. So this Clippers team surging,

352
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.599
but really good to see them come
back down fourteen where they looked out

353
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.279
of rhythm, out of soorts.
Kawhi wasn't aggressive early, and then in

354
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:22.480
that second quarter when he was,
everything kind of fell into place. They

355
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.640
stopped turning the basketball over as much
as they were in the first quarter,

356
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:30.559
where they had seven of their seventeen
turnovers, they had just two in the

357
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:37.720
second. Things just got more serious
for this team once Kawhi Leonard upped his

358
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:45.920
level of play and announced his return. Big night for him, big night

359
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:52.160
for the Clippers, another dominating performance, and they are now twenty and twelve

360
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:55.480
on the season. I'll update you
on the standings coming up. We'll get

363
00:27:03.880 --> 00:27:08.759
continue to watch Mason Plumley put in
that postgame work far side corner, Big

364
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:12.240
plum showing off the three point shooting
with the left hand. Just knock one

365
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:18.720
down, rattled home. Now he's
going to the left wing. This team

366
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:25.400
is focused, oh bottom, straight
down the strings for Big Plum. Back

367
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:26.960
to back three pointers in the left
wing. Now now he's going to the

368

00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:15.759
they are just two and a half

00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:23.799
they have won since the new starting

379
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:27.880
I'm Adam Oslin eight sixty six nine
eight seven two five seventy eight six

380
00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:33.440
six nine eight seven two five seventy. Well here from Kawhi Leonard post game.

381
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.160
But let's start things off with Morris
in Long Beach. I think he

382
00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:41.799
called in first. Morris was up
here on clipperstock. Hey, Adam,

383
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.319
I'm a happy New Year. Let
me tell you something, Hey, Adam,

384
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:48.559
these guys are good. No,
seriously, I'm not saying that as

385
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.039
a Clippers fan. I'm saying that
as a gambler. These guys are really

386
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:55.799
good. Kawhi Leonard coin of reminds
me of the guy across town and that

387
00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:59.880
guy in New Orleans. Just he
gets into the paint and he just bullies

388
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.240
people. The Clippers don't have to
ride him, they don't have to ride

389
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:06.920
anybody, but they could. Kawhi
is very, very strong. I don't

390
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:08.960
think people realize how strong he is. One of the things that I was

391
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.920
looking for tonight to sing in this
game was out of bio. With respect

392
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:17.119
to the offense, rebound because that
always been the Uchillities heels for us.

393
00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:21.440
But my boy, Zubab, my
goodness, I know he didn't finish the

394
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:25.480
game, but we got the inside
play. We got the inside play.

395
00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:27.880
The team is deep. The team
is deep. You saw tonight, you

396
00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:30.720
saw Powell. But when they get
on that road tip going back and each

397
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:36.119
you know it's going to be tough
coffee. I'm impressed with him in Bones

398
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:40.640
Highland. He's gonna get a shot. And I know I know that Tyron

399
00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:44.240
new he's got to get the Coach
of the Month man for the month of

400
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:48.759
December. Okay, he's got These
guys played like you were talking about how

401
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:52.079
people were against James Harden when he
first came to the Clippers. Now,

402
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:56.240
Adam, let's stee here. When
you're losing, you know, and you're

403
00:29:56.240 --> 00:29:59.599
dealing with fans, that's how we
learned out. That's just how they him

404
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.039
to the Clippers to start with many
of them more, not just when they

405
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:08.039
got off to that slow start losing
five straight. Well, they must not

406
00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:11.480
know basketball. But these guys are
good. And let me tell you why.

407
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:15.359
I say these guys are good.
And two quarters you were watching the

408
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:18.400
game, they did a thirty three
point turnaround. Did they do it or

409
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:23.359
not? I believe you are correct. And two come on, that's that's

410
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:26.839
something else for us two and a
half quarter. And but like I said,

411
00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:32.519
they don't have to ride Kawhi.
They could, they could, they

412
00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:36.960
don't have to, and they're saving
him for the playoffs. Adam, We're

413
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:40.440
good this year, man. I
really think this is the year. They've

414
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:44.440
got all the pieces. Everybody's acting
right, like you say, everybody's paying

415
00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:48.400
their role. And I'm telling them
one more time. If Tyron Lew does

416
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:52.440
not get the Coach of the Month
for December, the step sight up thepth.

417
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.000
But let me let you go to
get another call. But if y'all

418
00:30:56.160 --> 00:31:02.759
gamblers out there, bet on the
Clippers man that they're good. Happy New

419
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:04.240
year, Morris. I appreciate the
phone call. Yeah, yeah, they're

420
00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:07.480
good. I put it out a
tweet that was just kind of tongue in

421
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:14.039
cheek obviously, matter of fact,
said the Clippers in twenty twenty four are

422
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:18.880
dangerous. It's been one game.
They got a tough road trip coming up,

423
00:31:18.079 --> 00:31:22.880
but great victory when you see Kawhi
Leonard back like this. In fact,

424
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:30.079
somebody predicted that Kawhi would be returning
tonight. It was me cutting the

425
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:37.440
umbilical cord every night, five every
major category. I just I don't know.

426
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:41.200
I think it's a little bit here
on clips and dip audio here,

427
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:44.720
Katie, just a little bit,
just a little bit, hit that little

428
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:48.319
right arrow. We can go up
five seconds here. That was an interesting

429
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:52.240
way, you know what. I'm
not even gonna play the clip because the

430
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:56.960
more I think about it, we
say some things on clips and dip that

431
00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:00.720
may not be appropriate on Clippers talk. But take my word for it or

432
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:07.880
just follow me at follow Adam a
on X. It was last Wednesday or

433
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:10.400
Thursday, and I went out on
a limbs. I Thinkawhi is going to

434
00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:13.759
be back for the Miami Heat game
and he'll be the player of the game.

435
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:15.839
He was. Let's hear from him
post game before we get to more

436
00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:23.359
phone calls. Speaking with Christina Pink
on Valley Sports so much, Brian Kawhi,

437
00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:25.920
you know, even with a shorthanded
Heat team that they were going to

438
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.400
be competitive, how are you guys
able to blow the doors open in the

439
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:34.640
fourth quarter just with our defense.
I think we came in the fourth quarter

440
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:38.079
up team, and you know we
wanted to, you know, keep proud

441
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:42.559
on ourselves about you know, nine
landing teams back into the game. So

442
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:45.799
our defense as well went well,
and then we started making shots, showing

443
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:49.319
your presence all over the floor.
But it looked like you really got your

444
00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:53.680
rhythm going in that second quarter.
What allows you to get comfortable just start

445
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:58.920
playing hard. I mean now probably
the last nine or ten day. So

446
00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:02.519
you know, first my first few
minutes, I'll just running up and down

447
00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:07.519
the court, and I just told
myself to play harder and eventually things came

448
00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:09.640
my way. All right, you
guys start twenty twenty four in the win

449
00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:13.960
column. When this team is coole, when this team is playing its best

450
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:16.960
basketball, what does it look like? Oh, looks like this. You

451
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:21.839
know, we come in, share
the ball, knockdown shots, and play

452
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:23.799
great defense. All right, Thanks
Kawhi. Happy New Year, Brian,

453
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:30.200
Happy New year. Kawhi Clippers win
one twenty one to one oh four over

454
00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:35.359
the Miami Heat. Love seeing Kawhi
Leonard. He talked about it there.

455
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:37.960
He just started playing harder in the
second quarter. Basically, want to see

456
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:43.279
his wind. I guess in the
first quarter where he was at physically felt

457
00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:46.799
good, All systems go and then
he would help put this Miami Heat team

458
00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:52.880
away in that fourth quarter, just
detonating at the rim with multiple throwdowns.

459
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:54.920
Let's go to Lenny in Inglewood.
Lenny, what's up your clippers? Talk

460
00:33:54.960 --> 00:34:01.880
with that Amazon? What's up Adam
good Man? Goodwin? I you know

461
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:08.000
the thing that I'm just a little
concerned about it, But I guess it's

462
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:12.760
a good I guess a good problem
to have is that even gets in Memphis,

463
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:15.239
we do play a lot of io
ball, and I know that works

464
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:21.639
during the regular season and it works
during the postseason too. Io Ball is

465
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:24.199
mostly what you see later in a
series because teams know each other, they

466
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:28.960
know exactly what's going to happen,
and eventually it's your best against their best

467
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:32.559
in a lot of one on one
matchups. Watch any game seven, you

468
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:38.800
know how you know how poor or
how low scoring Game sevens typically are is

469
00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:45.559
because it turns into a ton of
iso pol because both teams have seen everything

470
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:50.159
once you get to that point in
the series. Yeah, yeah, that's

471
00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:57.840
a good point. I think norm
Pole is really the chip that's going to

472
00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:01.760
push us, you know, into
that final into that final phase, man,

473
00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:05.320
because like I said, there's no
win in the league like him.

474
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:09.199
His efficiency, and it's not just
the fact you can't key on him from

475
00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:15.039
outside because he can blow by you. He's got he's got hops, he's

476
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:17.960
got penetration and that, and that
one hand floater is just as deadly as

477
00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:23.800
at three. So you know,
hopefully Paul Paul George gets a little more

478
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:28.760
locked in. He's it takes him
ten shots to kind of get going.

479
00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:34.679
But once he's locked in, man, I only see I only see Denver

480
00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:40.280
and Celtics being being able to give
us, give us some serious run because

481
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:44.719
we just got too many weapons.
Man, it's just too many weapons in

482
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:47.000
the fact, and now you've got, like you said, Russell Westbrook establishes

483
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:52.920
himself on d it's just phenomenal,
man. I mean, that's that's the

484
00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:54.719
role that the other team want him
to play. And he refused to.

485
00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:59.440
He didn't want to do that,
but he came. He came to the

486
00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:05.679
to the cliffs and he's he's doing
you know, like like too Short said,

487
00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:07.079
you get in where you fit in, and that's what he's doing,

488
00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:12.880
man. And you know, I'm
glad that team. Man looks like he's

489
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:15.880
coming around a little bit. But
once again, it's not like we need

490
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:20.719
it because we got normal Powell off
the bench and Kobe Brown, So yeah,

491
00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:24.079
we looking good. Man. I
think that as we get closer to

492
00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:29.679
the closer into the deep into the
season, you're really going to see Tyler

493
00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:32.119
Lowe begin to, you know,
do his chest his chest thing, and

494
00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:36.440
begin to get to the boys ready. But like I said, it looks

495
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:38.440
good, It looks good. That
was a good wedin to night, all

496
00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:42.280
right, Lenny, appreciate the phone
call. Agree with you in a game

497
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:49.079
where the Miammi Heat got up fifteen
more free throws than the Clippers, who

498
00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:52.199
still win by seventeen. But you
started off there talking about Norman Powell.

499
00:36:53.400 --> 00:37:00.920
He's so damn efficient when he's making
quick decisions, specially that's when you know

500
00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:06.039
he's feeling good and he's caught a
great rhythm. And that's what we've seen

501
00:37:07.360 --> 00:37:10.119
really since the first couple of weeks
of the season. The dunk he had

502
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:14.440
out of the time out off the
assist from James Harden when it was just

503
00:37:14.440 --> 00:37:19.199
just a twelve point game with seven
minutes left in the fourth quarter that ignited

504
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:23.440
a run that was special. And
he just makes it look so easy when

505
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:29.800
he's going to his right, He's
almost unstoppable. He is a professional scorer

506
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:35.360
in the same way Sweet Lou Williams
was for this team. Jose In Downey

507
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:37.679
here on Clipper stocked with out of
Maslin. What's up, Josey? Adam,

508
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:42.880
Hey Adam, how you doing?
Happy New Year? Brother, Yeah,

509
00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:45.400
Happy New Year. I've been gone
for a couple of days. Keep

510
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:50.639
the disappearing that going quick as lot
as the Clippers don't. Yeah, yeah,

511
00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:55.000
exactly, exactly. Quick question for
you man, for Paul George and

512
00:37:55.440 --> 00:38:00.559
Tea men, I know they've been
having offensive struggles, and I really do

513
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:04.159
think, you know, obviously Kawhi
is gonna be the guy that they're gonna

514
00:38:04.159 --> 00:38:07.079
focus on on the you know,
on the defense on the other side of

515
00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:10.840
the other team's gonna be on him. What do you think the early struggles

516
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:15.400
that Paul George is having, man, in the last week and a half,

517
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:19.079
I don't think much of it.
He was seven or fourteen tonight,

518
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:22.119
he hit three three points, he
was at fifty, he had twenty three

519
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:24.239
points. He had eight points in
the first quarter, and then I want

520
00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:30.360
to say, in the third he
ended up grabbing twelve points. And when

521
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:34.199
he got it going in the third, he knocked down back to back three

522
00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:37.199
pointers. I think I'm both on
the right wing, and then had a

523
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:43.960
tough fade away jumper. I'm just
not that worried about Paul George. I

524
00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:47.840
think the reports of his demise were
greatly exaggerated. However you want to put

525
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:51.639
it. He was their best player
in the first three weeks of the season.

526
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:58.320
Then he gets then Kawhi takes over. Then Paul George gets injured,

527
00:38:58.639 --> 00:39:01.480
then he gets an illness. I
think he's just working his way back into

528
00:39:01.559 --> 00:39:07.440
a rhythm that there are times where
I felt like he's lost focus here and

529
00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:10.599
there, he's gotten too caught up
with the officials. But you see him

530
00:39:10.639 --> 00:39:15.079
start one for eleven Friday night and
then go seven of ten the rest of

531
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:17.239
the way and knock down big shots
in the fourth quarter when they needed him

532
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:22.880
to. That to me, is
more meaningful when you're facing that adversity,

533
00:39:22.920 --> 00:39:25.559
when you're not playing your best,
and you can turn it around. That's

534
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:30.960
the type of stuff that I think
you can draw from later on in the

535
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:34.440
season and in the playoffs when you're
having off nights, they're gonna happen.

536
00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:37.280
Especially with Paul George. This is
who he is. He's a rhythm shooter.

537
00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:39.639
He goes through some slumps. But
again, what are you talking about

538
00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:45.599
seven or fourteen? Fifty three points? Twenty three points on fourteen shots.

539
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:50.440
That's not bad, Jose. It's
not it's not you know, And I'm

540
00:39:50.440 --> 00:39:53.199
looking forward to this. I think
they play eight games in the next sit

541
00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:58.840
from here to the sixteenth, and
it's some good some good teams in between

542
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:00.719
there. You know. I'm really
looking forward to it, man. I

543
00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:05.320
want to see where we land after
these eight games and then finally I think

544
00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:08.559
they get like multiple days off after
that that game on the sixteenth. I'm

545
00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:12.480
really looking forward to this. Yeah, they'll be tested. It's a good

546
00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:15.400
point. Appreciate the phone call,
Jose. Hope to hear from you on

547
00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:20.639
Wednesday as well. Clippers twelve and
two over the last fourteen games, Rick

548
00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:24.000
leaving the game, Rick, what's
up? You're on Clipper staff with Adam?

549
00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:30.960
Awesome? Rick, do you hear
us? Am? Hello? Oh?

550
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:34.159
I can hear you? Do?
You got me though? Man?

551
00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:36.320
Just to hey, yeah, guess
so. You just want to make it

552
00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:39.320
short and quick that my octolve year
old Max and I left the game today.

553
00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:44.559
We were on a really bad streak. From the twenty one Phoenix series

554
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.599
to the series last year, to
the Oklahoma game last year where PG got

555
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:52.280
hurt, and then the game against
the Pelicans this year when we locked in

556
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:55.079
in that anties and tournament game.
So we were really iffy about going tonight.

557
00:40:55.119 --> 00:40:59.599
But you know what, for some
reason mid second half, we switched

558
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:01.599
seat you know, from ten to
SEE nine, and then for some reason

559
00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:05.239
they went on the run. So
we're feeling good that we saw win finally,

560
00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:07.639
but just wanted to make it short
and sweet and happy New Year,

561
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:10.400
Cu and the rest of the team. Happy New Year, Rick, I'm

562
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:15.840
glad the old swishero with the seats
brought the Clippers some luck. If you

563
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:19.880
believe in that sort of thing in
superstitions like that, I don't, which

564
00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:22.800
means Rick, it's not your fault. It's not your fault. Those losses

565
00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:27.840
before the Paul George injury nothing to
do with you, my friend. This

566
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:32.119
is a players deciding things out there
on the court, and uh yeah,

567
00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:37.400
deciding their own destiny. Clippers win
one twenty one to one oh four tonight

568
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:40.559
because they're the ones that put in
the work. I understand. It's fun

569
00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:44.199
to be a fan like that sometimes
and that think, oh I jinxed them

570
00:41:44.199 --> 00:41:45.679
in this, But there's somebody doing
the exact same thing on the other side

571
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:49.639
of the equation. So who the
basketball gods of the sports gods go with?

572
00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:55.000
The players put in the work,
and they put in work. Tonight

573
00:41:55.360 --> 00:42:00.760
they win one twenty one to one
oh four over the Miami Heat final timeouts.

574
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:05.360
We'll come back, We'll close things
out. More phone calls eight six

six, ninety eight seven two five
seventy eight six six nine eight seven two

576
00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:16.440
five seventy Howie tags others. We
got coach Loupo's Game two, Kawhi made

577
00:42:16.440 --> 00:42:23.320
his triumphant return, had twenty four
on nineteen shots. That is that is

578
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:29.280
so inefficient for him to only go
ten of nineteen. He just doesn't look

579
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:30.840
right. Guys, I don't know
it's Kawhi okay, you only shot fifty

580
00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:35.199
two percent from the field, and
sad the sixty two percent he was shooting

581
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:39.880
the last eleven games. Oh,
those dunks in the fourth quarter. I'm

582
00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:45.519
gonna have to watch those again during
the break a dunkover bam special. More

Clippers Audio Network. Clippers win one
twenty one to one oh four over the

586
00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:07.800
Miami Heat. Welcome back into Crypto
dot com arena. Mayson Plumbley has finished

587
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:14.400
his postgame workout. How was your
roving reporter? Not really roving? Stationary

588
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:22.800
sedentary? Clippers win by seventeen over
Miami. Kawhi returns drops twenty four in

589
00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:25.920
thirty three minutes and was upset about
being taken out of the game. It's

590
00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:31.920
the right move. You're up big. Come on. You gotta protect players

591
00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:37.679
from themselves at times, but also
love that mentality. Kawhi hadn't played the

592
00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:43.960
last four games, missed the last
eleven days, eleven days since he last

593
00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:46.960
played against the Dallas Mavericks. Picked
right back up where he left off.

594
00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:51.960
Uh, we still have one more
time out before we get to it.

595
00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:55.199
Sook in full or two. Sook
your on Clipper style without a manslim.

596
00:43:55.239 --> 00:44:00.559
What's up, Adam? How are
you a happy New Year? New You're

597
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:04.679
sick? Good way to start things
off by the Clippers. Huh oh most

598
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:09.559
definitely, you know what great game. I thought everybody had an imprint on

599
00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:15.199
this game, Every single player made
themselves known, starting off with Kawhi Leonard.

600
00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:19.960
You know, quiet first quarter,
but you can see what happens when

601
00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:24.400
he elevates his game, the entire
team steps up. I feel like,

602
00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:29.159
this is what they say about great
basketball players is you know, yeah,

603
00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:31.719
they make everybody better. But man, when he stepped up his energy,

604
00:44:31.880 --> 00:44:37.800
everybody follows suit. James Harden.
I think there was a moment in the

605
00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:40.119
third quarter where you could just see
it in his eyes where he could just

606
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:45.480
like smell blood. And I don't
think we've had that type of energy on

607
00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:49.320
the Clippers for a while, where
you've got a player who just wants to

608
00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:53.760
demolish the other team. Russell Westbrook, oh my god, when he fronted

609
00:44:54.719 --> 00:45:00.440
Kevin Love back to back that energy
so and you know, one of the

610
00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:05.280
things I've been thinking about is,
you know, how we've changed so much

611
00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:07.960
from last year. But one of
the things that we don't talk about much

612
00:45:08.039 --> 00:45:14.519
is how much coach Lou has changed. I think he even mentioned last year

613
00:45:14.599 --> 00:45:17.000
he had some like personal issues,
maybe a death in the family, But

614
00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:22.639
this year he's coaching so differently.
I love what he said about team Man,

615
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:29.079
where he basically just gave t Man
license like he's not expecting him to

616
00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:32.440
play offense, just wants them to
focus defensively. What did that do?

617
00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:37.239
Took all the pressure off of te
Man and all of a sudden t Man

618
00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:42.480
is now stepping up offensively. And
I wouldn't be surprised if team if coach

619
00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:47.079
Lou also had a hand in talking
to Westbrook and asking Westbrook to come off

620
00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:52.159
the bench. Like great coaching this
year, very different from how he was

621
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:57.199
last year. And a man,
what a game. Every single player made

622
00:45:57.280 --> 00:46:01.199
their presence felt, every single play
made their imprint on this game. It

623
00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:05.159
was amazing. What a great start
to the year, sir. I'm with

624
00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:08.159
you. Appreciate the phone call call
back on Wednesday. I don't think we've

625
00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:14.239
heard from you before. Sok and
Fullerton. Nice little breakdown there and giving

626
00:46:14.280 --> 00:46:19.280
coach Lou love deservedly so pushing all
the right buttons. Clippers win once twenty

Crypto over Miami, Quick time out,

632
00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:42.639
miss a moment all season long.
This is the LA Clippers Audio Network.

633
00:46:43.119 --> 00:46:49.400
Kawhi Leonard dropping twenty four. Clippers
win one twenty one to one oh four

634
00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:58.159
over the Miami Heat here at Crypto
dot Com Arena tonight. Got to meet

635
00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:02.559
a friend, met him on the
phone plenty of times, phone a friend,

636
00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:06.920
but gott to meet him in person. Finally met the whole family,

637
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:09.320
tagus and Walnut was in the building. I don't even know if he knew

638
00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:13.119
that Kawhi Leonard was going to be
playing tonight, and boy did he ever

639
00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:16.599
tags not a bad ball game to
come to. Huh. Oh, it

640
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:21.280
was awesome had him and Happy New
Year. Was great meeting you. Uh,

641
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:24.559
it was pretty loud. I was. I was showing you the underground

642
00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:30.360
goat shoes. I was, I
was sporting I eventually caught on those are

643
00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:36.400
the Lou Williams special. Yeah,
I'm gonna ask you something about him at

644
00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:39.320
the end of uh what I'm glad
to say. But uh, after that

645
00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:42.639
first quarter looked like it, you
know, the Clippers, you know,

646
00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:47.119
got over there New Year's Eve hangover. Uh, they actually just started playing

647
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:52.079
smart basketball, and I knew that
Kawhi was going to pick it up,

648
00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:55.440
and they they kept attacking Tyler Hero. And this is what I've noticed throughout

649
00:47:55.440 --> 00:48:00.559
the games. They they scope out
the opponents defender and they keep going to

650
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:04.119
him. So you saw Kawai in
the second quarter do that, and then

651
00:48:04.159 --> 00:48:07.559
you saw Powell go at him,
and I think it was hardened a few

652
00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:12.960
times, and the Hero had no
answer for anyone on the Clippers, and

653
00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:16.079
they just they're just playing smart basketball. I quoted Goodwill Hunting earlier. That

654
00:48:16.199 --> 00:48:22.880
was matchup hunting though by the Clippers. Yeah, And you know, when

655
00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:27.719
you look at the team overall,
when the casuals were worried about Hard and

656
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:32.519
Harden coming and we lost our glue, guys, amre Coffee has filled that

657
00:48:32.599 --> 00:48:37.760
gap so well. You saw him
in that second quarter make a lot of

658
00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:42.880
open shots and him and Kui kind
of kept they kind of you know,

659
00:48:43.159 --> 00:48:47.000
got that fourteen point hole and we
took a one point lead. But he

660
00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:52.159
was so instrumental in that. And
amre Coffee doesn't get a praise, but

661
00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:54.880
he's been playing so well. And
nice fade away in the second hit a

662
00:48:54.920 --> 00:48:59.760
three pointer in the second quarter.
I hope he continues to get fifteen minutes

663
00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:01.760
around on their night, depending on
the matchup. But even with Kawhi and

664
00:49:01.760 --> 00:49:07.480
this team fully healthy, Emir,
he's needed, Oh, he is needed.

665
00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:10.360
And uh, you know when when
I look at their offense and there's

666
00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:15.119
still a lot of fine tuning left. But the other opposing teams they have

667
00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:20.079
to prepare for either hard and doing
a pick and roll or him to step

668
00:49:20.079 --> 00:49:23.440
back three. And I'm with you, but we got to get out here

669
00:49:23.559 --> 00:49:29.360
soon. You got thirty seconds,
okay, And uh, you know,

670
00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:31.039
it's just we got a lot of
fine tuning, but we're going to be

671
00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:35.760
really dangerous. And speaking on Lou
Williams, and in the spirit of him,

672
00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:39.360
where do you rank him as all
time clutch clippers? Like last moment

673
00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:44.039
shot, you gotta have someone What
I got Lou Williams. I don't got

674
00:49:44.039 --> 00:49:45.719
anyone else other than Lou Williams taking
that shot. Where do you got Lou

675
00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:51.119
swelu? Yeah, lose a bad
man. What he did in the playoff

676
00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:54.480
thirty one point comeback against the Golden
State Warriors, hitting tough shot after tough

677
00:49:54.519 --> 00:49:58.400
shot. But I remember game winner
over I want to say it was the

678
00:49:58.519 --> 00:50:02.360
nets here he got one against Toronto. I think love sweet Lou Williams.

679
00:50:02.360 --> 00:50:06.960
All right, Mark in Huyington,
quickly, you got thirty seconds. Mark

680
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:09.639
here on clippersack. Okay, I
don't want anyone to take this the wrong

681
00:50:09.679 --> 00:50:14.960
way. I love Terrence Man,
but I watched the game tonight and when

682
00:50:14.960 --> 00:50:16.719
he tried to do his threes,
two of the times he had an open

683
00:50:16.719 --> 00:50:20.800
shot to run it to the basket. And I know coach Lou likes to

684
00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:23.519
tell him to, you know,
take an open shot. But I until

685
00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:25.880
its three falls, and I know
you got to take the threes to make

686
00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:29.639
him fall. But for the meantime, just run it to the rim.

687
00:50:29.679 --> 00:50:32.079
Everything else he does is perfect.
It's just that he when he gets after

688
00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:35.440
he misses one or two, it's
like I should have taken that to the

689
00:50:35.480 --> 00:50:37.559
basket. That's all I'm gonna say. Constructive Lias, all right, Mark,

690
00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:39.920
I appreciate the phone call. He
was one of two from the outside

691
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:44.880
hit his first three after missing his
last thirteen over the last three games.

692
00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:46.880
Before we get out of here,
we got Big Brother Jake Warner Big Brother

693
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:52.199
Jake podcast in the podcast one network. The Fake Philosophers, one of his

694
00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:54.679
nicknames, one of many, Big

I get a paycheck. I don't care

697
00:51:01.400 --> 00:51:06.559
mat now. This is a big
moment because this is the first of twenty

698
00:51:06.639 --> 00:51:10.000
twenty four positive moments with the fake
philosopher big Brother Jake Morner. Here we

699
00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:15.280
go. Just the fact we don't
know our due date on death should be

700
00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:20.719
enough motivation to live every day to
your highest potential. Just should I spend

701
00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:23.079
all the money I have later tonight? No? Okay, okay with it?

702
