WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:06.040 Parents madness ure. Once again, He's Clippers Talk. I got calls on 2 00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:12.119 Clippers Talk. Immediate reaction and analysis to today's game. That's what he's capable 3 00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:17.359 of. Hosted by your pre and post game boys of the La Clippers, 4 00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:23.039 Adam Osler. The Clippers were missing a couple of guys and they come up 5 00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:29.039 a couple of points short in overtime in Denver. They lose one thirty to 6 00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:33.799 one twenty eight to Nikola Yokits and the Denver Nuggets. Welcome into your post 7 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:37.679 game show. This is Clippers Talk. I'm Adam Oslin. Eight sixty six 8 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.280 nine eight seven two five seventy eight six sixty nine eight seven two five seventy 9 00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.159 is the phone number or get to me at follow Adam A coming up. 10 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.439 You'll hear from the head coach and the players after they dropped the first game 11 00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:53.159 of this eight game road trip, their longest road trip since two thousand and 12 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:59.439 five. It's like that, and it is treacherous. They are taken on 13 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.799 another great big man on Friday, and Joe lmbad is they didn't have their 14 00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:08.799 hands full enough tonight against the reigning MVP and Nikola Yokich. And there's a 15 00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.799 lot of different things you can point to where the Clippers lost this game because 16 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:18.319 it was so close, because we had five extra minutes of bonus basketball, 17 00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:23.319 and the Clippers had their opportunities. Of course they did. The Terrence Man 18 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:30.959 shot clock violation with seconds remaining in the fourth quarter was tough, brutal, 19 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:38.879 But I do want to highlight how well this team played. Considering no Marcus 20 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.599 Morris, we just found that out about an hour before the game. No 21 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.799 Nick Batoon, we found that out earlier today. He went into health and 22 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:52.920 safety protocols. Still, of course, no Kawhi Leonard, no Paul George, 23 00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.840 and they battled against one of the best big men we've ever seen. 24 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.439 I'm comfortable saying that at this point, even though he's only twenty six years 25 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:07.120 of age, he is as skilled, as difficult of a guard as you'll 26 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:14.919 ever see in Nikola Yokich, who had forty nine, fourteen and ten and 27 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:20.639 only had twelve points in the first half. They were actually doing a really 28 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.080 good job containing him, but he had thirty seven in the second half and 29 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:29.400 n ot where I want to say, he had eleven of their sixteen points 30 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.960 in overtime. Now Zubots countered in some ways. He goes for his career 31 00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:39.599 high thirty two points. It was twenty six and he had eight of those. 32 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:44.960 In overtime he had eight of the Clippers fourteen points, thirty two, 33 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:50.840 ten and three the Tippens. Six offensive rebounds for Big Zoo in this one 34 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.159 fifteen of nineteen from the field, the baby hooks, the zool cinder. 35 00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.400 He was dominant at times. He had ten points in the fourth quarter. 36 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:06.439 Reggie Jackson joined him with ten and that fourth, and Brandon Boston had nine. 37 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:10.000 There. Those three players had twenty nine up the Clippers thirty three points 38 00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:15.240 in the fourth. I Eric Bledsoe had the first two as he went on 39 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:20.039 a nice ten oh run spanning the end of the third into the fourth that 40 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.520 kept the Clippers in it and with some momentum at least after they were up 41 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:30.439 by fifteen in the third quarter and Jokis went off. He had seventeen points 42 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:35.120 and that third alone. But the Clippers did go through one of those cold 43 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:39.280 stretches again where during a span of six minutes they had just two points. 44 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:45.120 We've seen that a lot at times this season. And they would go through 45 00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:52.840 another one in the fourth quarter where they led by eight. Late with maybe 46 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.560 it was about eight minutes left after they went on a little bit of a 47 00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:00.879 run themselves. They looked to be in control, but on the road against 48 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.800 the Denver team, they just came back on down twenty five a week ago. 49 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:09.759 It was gonna be tough to close them out because you knew they were 50 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:14.159 going to come in circling this ball game, trying to redeem themselves for what 51 00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.399 happened. Yeah, it was a Brandon Boston three pointer that put the Clippers 52 00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:21.519 up one o eight to one hundred with four minutes left. Monte Morris gets 53 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.680 an end one three point play. Nicola Yokis went to the free throw line. 54 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.519 That was the theme in this one. More on that in a second. 55 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.240 Then he had I want to say it was a putback. He got 56 00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:38.879 fouled on that by Visa Zubots and got the end one to go and the 57 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:45.079 Clippers still tied at one fourteen after a Will Barton layup, had the basketball 58 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:49.639 with twenty seven seconds left and had a shot clock violation. Just can't happen. 59 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:55.199 Terres Man hit it, but it was about a second after the buzzer 60 00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:59.480 went off. It wasn't even close. They defended Yoki's well. On the 61 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.000 other end, both Hartenstein and Aviza Zubots had him trapped on the near side 62 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:10.199 baseline. But going into overtime, I think the Denver Nuggets felt like that's 63 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:14.680 momentum and they would hit the first shot, but then a Vizza Zubots just 64 00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:19.000 kept playing. I said it might be the best game of his career scoring 65 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:24.199 whise it is thirty two points. It's just unfortunately it comes in a loss 66 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.959 like this. But you want to still praise the guys for the effort they 67 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.560 played with out there with so many guys out and no business being in the 68 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:35.920 ball game to begin with, and they led by twelve and a half, 69 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:40.759 you could say they were just a play short, or a few free throws 70 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:46.759 short. Listen to this Nikola Yokich, and we haven't talked about the officials 71 00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:51.959 all season long, but he attempted more free throws than the entire Clippers team 72 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:58.279 at sixteen to twelve, and credit to Emmy hit fourteen of them. Clippers 73 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.000 went nine for twelve with the free throw line, but there were a couple 74 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:05.680 of players a Reggie Jackson floater at the end to get them to one fourteen 75 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:10.759 of regulation, where it looked like he was fouled, didn't get the call, 76 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.079 and then the tip in when it looked like the ball was above the 77 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:21.120 cylinder by Nikolayokich in ot and also him and a Visa Zubas getting tangled up 78 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:26.079 atop the three point line, and they just don't even make a call. 79 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.120 There's a foul on somebody there. You want to swallow the whistle, You 80 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.040 want to not determine the outcome in the ball game. I'm sure that's what 81 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.680 they were thinking by not making calls. Sometimes you do the same thing. 82 00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:43.560 And Zubas fouled him, and that would have at least prevented the possibility of 83 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.240 an and one opportunity, which is what it turned into after Yoki's kind of 84 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.360 pushed him out of the way and went towards the basket, got fouled, 85 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:55.680 got to go. So look, when you score sixty four points in the 86 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.519 paint, you're being aggressive, you're attacking. Both teams had that number, 87 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.120 yet the Denver Nuggets at twenty five free throw attempts, the Clippers just twelve, 88 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:08.879 so they more than doubled them up in that area. They were aggressive 89 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.319 too. And Nikola Yokich, he's a superstar. He gets a superstar like 90 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.040 Whistle Zubos could get some of that, and he got the free throw line 91 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:20.920 twice and he knocked down some clutch ones late. And Brandon Boston, as 92 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:26.600 I mentioned earlier, big time shots. If you're looking for positives and a 93 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.920 loss like this where you're losing overtime and heartbreaking fashion for Brandon Boston to have 94 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.759 eleven of his sixteen points in the fourth quarter and overtime and be playing critical 95 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:41.680 minutes and thriving and the moment not looking too big for him. Not that 96 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:46.439 we'd be surprised with Ivan, We've seen this before. He embraces it. 97 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.600 But those three pointers he hit, he goes four of seven from the outside. 98 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.600 He can continue to grow with his confidence after a game like this. 99 00:07:55.759 --> 00:08:00.240 Reggie Jackson, we thought maybe there was something after the second half Monday against 100 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:05.800 the Indiana Pacers where he played really well, where he found his shot and 101 00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.759 it carried over. He played with a ton of confidence, and I think 102 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.040 he knew he had the green light in this one. Without Batoum, who's 103 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:18.399 coming off his thirty two point game, was seven three pointers on Monday, 104 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:24.839 and they lose that guy. He has a thirty two point second half There 105 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.639 were only three other players going into that game that have had thirty or more 106 00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.879 and a half so far this season, jannat aDNA koumpos Steph Curry and Jayalen 107 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:39.360 Brown. Nick Batoum has that type of second half, and they lose him 108 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.799 earlier today, unfortunately to health and safety protocols. We're hoping for the best. 109 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:46.639 It's the second time he's been in them in the last two months. 110 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:50.159 But then Marcus Morris kind of a late scratch an hour before the game, 111 00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:56.360 didn't know that was going to happen, and Reggie was amazing the hesitation move 112 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.759 he put on Yo Kitchen the fourth quarter where he blew right by them. 113 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:07.639 Obviously, playoff Reggie, mister June. It's still there. Even though he's 114 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:11.200 had a really up and down season and the shooting percentages are not where he 115 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.039 wants them to be, and he's gone through some deep funk shooting wise, 116 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.200 some cold shrieks, he can still get up for a big game like this 117 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.440 where they needed more out of him, and he was awesome out there. 118 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:30.120 So Ipers were just two points short and a tough one. While they're severely 119 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:33.639 under manned. They lose an ot I still love the fight. I thought 120 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:39.519 they brought it and there were some funky calls down the stretch. But look, 121 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.559 I'll say this, Avita Zubots when they reviewed that play at the end 122 00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:48.360 of the fourth quarter, I thought he got Yokich on the arm. They 123 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.279 originally called it a foul. It would have been his sixth, and they 124 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:58.000 overturned it after Coach lu challenged the play. Didn't have that challenge though then 125 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:01.919 later even after winning it, And I'll probably change that rule eventually because it 126 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:07.919 was a successful challenge to challenge the over the cylinder basket interference, which it 127 00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:13.600 was by your kitchen overtime. But Clippers have to move on quickly and take 128 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:18.559 away as many positives as you can from a game like this and take it 129 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.639 with you into Philadelphia and throughout the rest of this road trip. It is 130 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:28.440 going to be as tough as it gets. It could make or break their 131 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.320 season seating wise, and hopefully they can get some of these guys back. 132 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.679 It was good to see Luke Kenard. He did hit a big three pointer. 133 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:41.159 What else is knew in the fourth quarter. We thought that might have 134 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.440 been one of the daggers we look upon. If the Clippers were able to 135 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.679 come away with a victory. In this one, he still was a little 136 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.440 bit rusty, but he hit the big shot. That was the only three 137 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.600 pointer he hit, as he was one of six. But he's been like 138 00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:00.320 that for the Clippers going back to last season. Now he seems to step 139 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.799 up in those moments as well. Nikolajokis though, credit to him, amazing, 140 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.120 amazing player, amazing performance. And yet you still thought that shot from 141 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.879 Reggie Jackson was going to fall, hits the backboard, hits the front of 142 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:18.879 the rim, falls out, similar to Gordon Hayward in the National Championship game. 143 00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.000 For Butler, a half court heave, he gave it a ride and 144 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:30.440 it was almost there after the technical from the Nuggets celebrating prematurely. And if 145 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.840 that won the game for the Clippers, they wouldn't admit it. A plane 146 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:37.879 to fly to Philadelphia. We've been riding that high, all right. We'll 147 00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:43.519 take a quick break here. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy 148 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.039 eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number we'll hear 149 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:54.759 from the head coach coming up, Javier hold On Za Southgate, hold On, 150 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:58.919 We'll get to you. Clippers lose by two and overtime more Clippers top. 151 00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:05.039 If you're an AMPI seventy old sports Timmy confrontation ain't nothing new, Timmy, 152 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:07.120 Timmy. You could bring a bullet and bring a score, bring a 153 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.279 book, but you can't bring the child, Timmy, Timmy, LA Clippers 154 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.759 basketball continue safe time shot down the stretch. This is the official home of 155 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:22.240 the Los Angeles Clippers. A whim homemade prop and now we'll keep some tamn 156 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:26.759 faces in my pocket. Given faded. Oh what's the guy went out a 157 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:30.919 little o d oh? My guy, Mike Miller, he's turned thirty today. 158 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:37.559 He stopped stripping up five and Don Roston Lady Clippers losing ot by two 159 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:43.080 in Denver and to the Nuggets. I'm aware of it. Final score one 160 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:48.039 thirty to one twenty eight in favor of those Denver Nuggets and Nicola Yo Kitchen 161 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:52.519 is forty nine, fourteen and ten game and a big three steals. One 162 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:58.960 of them was pretty significant. Reggie Jackson was trying to pass it over to 163 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:03.799 Terrence Man. He took it way. They only had twelve turnovers Denver in 164 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:05.799 this one, and the Clippers did turn into sixteen points. That's a good 165 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:09.440 number. But last time out. The reason the Clippers came back down twenty 166 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:16.039 five is because they turned Denver over early and often. They had twenty a 167 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:22.120 week ago, Clippers just fourteen, but some turnovers at inopportune times, you 168 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.440 could say. But I want to praise if Beacha zuboss a little bit because 169 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:31.639 he goes for his career high thirty two and was battling through having five personal 170 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:37.240 fouls I think heading into the fourth quarter. But I've said this forever. 171 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:43.360 He reminds me of like the long lost Gassaul brother because he has a lot 172 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.440 more in his bag than I think people realize, including that three point shot 173 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:50.600 that he wants to show everybody that he did hit last year when he finally 174 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:56.360 got an attempt up. But he is so skilled and he's still getting better. 175 00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.919 He's still just twenty four years of age. And for him to know, 176 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:07.399 Okay, I'm the only starter left right now. It's him and Reggie 177 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:13.799 Jackson, you could say. And he puts up a thirty two spot against 178 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.600 Yokich, and I love what coach lew was doing because they were basically hunting 179 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.799 Yokich every time down to try and wear him down in the second half to 180 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:30.480 no avail, but they were going right at him. They were relentless, 181 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:35.120 especially Reggie Jackson. He was just looking for him the entire time. That's 182 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:39.279 what you have to do. But great player. They come away with the 183 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:41.440 victory. Jose and south Gate. You're on Clippers stop without hm as and 184 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:46.240 what's up? I don't so right now. You know, first of all, 185 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.759 thank you, Ralph Lawler, thank you, double a thank you. 186 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:52.960 No Eagle, I'm on my way up to gil Roy, so I'm up 187 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.039 north right now. So I'm sitting into the radio and it is running back 188 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.279 memories when I was eight years old into that little radio. Make sure I 189 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.799 was tuned in. He's gonna blah blahla that being said, just hearing know 190 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:09.039 what Eagle describe how the zoopbo scored his first six points like boom boom on 191 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:13.120 our jokeys. I just hearing there. It was different on the radio. 192 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.399 That being said, we were down, we came back and Noah on me, 193 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:18.840 Noah on me. I mean, sorry, I got him, Mom, 194 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:20.679 Rapper, I know you got a called him no the other day, 195 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:24.720 but sorry I got him. I was thinking to know what set there that 196 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.799 he set. The next eight games were going on and I heard we're not 197 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.120 going to Chicago. We're not going to the net. That's something you know. 198 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.360 I was listening, But we're going on an eight game road trip. 199 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:35.639 And I when I said I heard that, I'm like, this is gonna 200 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:37.240 make or break us. That's before you said it on the last break. 201 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.639 Right now, this right here is gonna make or break us, and this 202 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:43.000 class right now, I don't even look at it as a loss. We 203 00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:45.919 went over time. To me, it's a push. It's a push. 204 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.039 So okay, it's game one, all right, we got it out the 205 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:50.440 way, but we got eight games. Right now. This is gonna make 206 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:52.120 or break us at him, and you already know it's gonna make us. 207 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:58.240 Baby, let's go clapbacks. All right, Let's say you continue to stay 208 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.840 on hold. Now listen through your phone. I guess you get the radio 209 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:07.120 there in the car as well. Javier in Lahabra Heights, do you have 210 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:14.000 that same level of optimism that Jose and Southgate just presented? Yes, I 211 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.559 do, Adam, real quick. I mean they fought. I mean it 212 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:22.360 was a great game all the time, and you know you gotta give credit. 213 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.399 I mean they all fought. But I had a thing here, I 214 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:32.919 know Zoobach score thirty points, but the last three minutes or the fourth quarter, 215 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:38.519 Atom jokes was eating him up. I know he's the MVP, but 216 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:44.080 he should have switched the last three I think I drew up by with four 217 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:45.840 or five. He should have taken the zoo back out of the game and 218 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:52.919 put in Isaiah or went with the smaller lineup, because the last three minutes 219 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:56.039 he just tore the Clippers apart. I'm talking about the fourth quarter Atom. 220 00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.840 I think that was I was like three figs, what kind of the game? 221 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:04.519 But no, he kept him in the game, and every time he 222 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:10.119 got the ball, he scored three goals. Whatever he took, do whatever 223 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:12.920 he wanted. And like I said, I know he scored thirty points three 224 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.759 games, Zuba, but the last three minutes had him He should not have 225 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.079 been playing just the last three minutes of the fourth quarter. He should have 226 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:26.599 put an idea somebody more athletic. The problem is without a visa Zubats, 227 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.319 I don't know if it goes to ot because he also scored at the end 228 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.000 of that fourth quarter. I know Yokis had nine points in the last three 229 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:41.240 minutes of the fourth but a visa Zubats also had four and he blocked one 230 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.839 of his layups because eventually they challenged that play. And I know they ended 231 00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:48.839 up winning the jump ball anyways, but look, there's only so much you 232 00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.839 can do, and he already had five fouls. But I thought he played 233 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.440 him as well as you could. And Yokis certainly gets the benefit of the 234 00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.400 whistle. He's a superstar in this league. But I'm not gonna say anything 235 00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:04.079 away from Viza Zoo Boss, because he played far too well to be removed 236 00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:07.839 from that game, especially when you really don't have a better option against your 237 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.920 kitch. Yeah, I know, I mean it just it was just it 238 00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.880 was just that that joke Itch is something else. While I couldn't believe every 239 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.559 time he got the boy scored, but another thing to a real quick I 240 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.640 don't. I know. We've got a few more calls Boston. He fought 241 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:25.240 Briden Botty. Finally. You know, he's spent watching you play like this, 242 00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:30.119 so that's good. Hopefully he could continue and and do that on on 243 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:34.640 Friday against Philly. So just one game, you got several more games. 244 00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:38.680 I'm thinking if it could break even four and four, it would be a 245 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:41.200 good road trip. I agree with you. Adam here, thank you for 246 00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.599 bing him. Call Nixon here, will talk to you on Friday. I 247 00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:51.160 agree. Given the level of competition and eighth straight on the road, if 248 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.000 they ended up going four and four on this road trip with the guys they 249 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:59.440 have out right now, it would be unbelievable. We'll take a quick break. 250 00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:02.119 We'll come back. You'll hear from the head coach. Clippers losing ot 251 00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:06.319 one thirty to one, twenty eight Beta Zubots goes first career high of thirty 252 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:10.839 two. Reggie Jackson, that's twenty eight. Clippers now falled a tenant two 253 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:14.839 when he goes for twenty or more. I thought it was clim you know, 254 00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:21.359 eleven and one. Oh, that three pointer almost fell more Clippers stock 255 00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:34.839 next here on a up five seventy earl Sports LA Clippers Basketball continue safetime shot 256 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:40.359 down the stretch. This is the official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. 257 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:44.640 Back is that it just keep coming back to me? Was our four seconds? 258 00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:45.640 Back to me? There? You mad at me? This ain't what 259 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.279 I woman is what it had to be? This is that lay not working 260 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:53.279 after three? Man, this is why kids dropped at the Clippers lose by 261 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:59.359 two in overtime in Denver defeat not divided. Welcome back at the Clipper stock. 262 00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:02.519 I'm at a mos eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight 263 00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:07.960 six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number you're wondering. 264 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:15.920 Not his career high. Yoga had fifty against the King's last year Clippers, 265 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.720 though they get a career high night from Avizza Zubots. He had thirty two 266 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:25.920 points. He kept coming back. Unbelievable Tippins, A great effort, a 267 00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:30.119 great spirit with this Clippers team being completely shorthanded going up against a team that 268 00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:36.119 I think was looking forward to this ball game. They won some redemption after 269 00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.440 blowing a twenty five point lead to the Clippers. Clippers led by as many 270 00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:42.920 as fifteen in the third quarter, and the tables turned a little bit and 271 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:45.839 Yogach had seventeen points in that third quarter, and there was a tie game 272 00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:51.359 going into the fourth. Clippers had their chances though, up eight with four 273 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:56.079 minutes left in that fourth quarter. They lose though in overtime by two. 274 00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.559 Fernando and I'll Hambro you're on Clippers stock without him? Awesome. What's up, 275 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:03.599 Fernando, what's our brother? Hey, I just want to disagree with 276 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.880 the previous collar man. He beats the zoo bag man. He went toe 277 00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:11.319 to toe with this dude. You know he's a balking brother and man, 278 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:14.880 he beats the zoo bag man. He put in some fucking excuse me, 279 00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:22.400 put some work today, all right, So yeah, I appreciate the appreciated 280 00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:30.759 calling Friday. I can't keep him all in after that already don't have button 281 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:34.640 over on this side. But he did, he put in some work. 282 00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:42.759 Uh. Fernando, Fernando, Fernando beats the Zubats. He has the best 283 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:48.480 game of his career in a season where he's been so steady. But I 284 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:52.519 think he's been overlooked in some ways because of that. He's mister consistent, 285 00:21:52.559 --> 00:22:00.160 mister reliable for the Clippers, and while he has missed some games recently to 286 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:02.920 being health and safety protocols, this is someone who didn't miss a game all 287 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:07.359 of last year. He's their iron man for a reason. To see him 288 00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:15.920 play like that in that environment against Yokich and say I'm here too, because 289 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:19.279 there was a battle on the post, and we knew right from the beginning 290 00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:22.799 when the Clippers went big with he and Serge Ibaka. They were preparing for 291 00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:26.720 that, and I thought Isaiah Hartenstein, especially in the first half, gave 292 00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:29.240 them some really good minutes. Had that big throw down, and he was 293 00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:33.119 going up against his former team and a guy he played with and learned from 294 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.680 in yokich and he had some nice assists. Three assists for Hartenstein. Justice 295 00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:42.319 Winslow also a really nice first half. I thought gave them a little bit 296 00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:47.680 of a spark at times just getting to the basket. Playing downhill. He 297 00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:52.400 actually really forced the issue. Went four of six. He had half the 298 00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:56.160 Clippers free throws. Of their twelve, he had six of them, made 299 00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:59.519 four of them. All Right, we'll say a quick break, we'll come 300 00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:03.480 back. We'll hear from the head coach to Ron lou Clippers losing overtime eight 301 00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.319 six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight sixty six ninety eight seven two 302 00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:17.720 five seventy is the phone number was come on? Oh that a people are 303 00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:22.599 gonna be passionate. After seeing that performance from Ribizza, Zubas said that off 304 00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:29.079 my more Clipper stock next a five seventy sports a big shrug, I like, 305 00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:32.960 filled with that's what I love. I love what Plateau is, what 306 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:36.880 we're above. If it is us, we won't even think of as a 307 00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:42.279 LA Clippers basketball continue safe time shot down the stretch. This is the official 308 00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:49.400 home of the Los Angeles Clippers. The way to make you wait. Maybe 309 00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:56.720 the best part of Niko Yogi's game is his passing ability, and he ended 310 00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:02.440 up finding Aaron Gordon in the corner for that three point with two seconds left. 311 00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:07.279 Clippers lose by two in overtime for the final score of one thirty to 312 00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:11.480 one twenty eight in favor of the Denver Nuggets. Clippers next game coming up 313 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:15.599 on Friday, they'll be in Philadelphia for game two of this eight game road 314 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:19.920 trip. But Aaron Gordon had over thirty points last time out against the Clippers, 315 00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:25.640 including some easy ones playing off of Nikola Yokis. He had a bunch 316 00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:30.160 of throwdowns in that fourth quarter. I remember back in downtown Los Angeles he 317 00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:33.240 had yeah, eleven of his twenty eight points in the fourth quarter in overtime, 318 00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.279 none bigger than that three point or he hit. But it's kind of 319 00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.640 been a bit of a Clippers killer recently, and it happens because of the 320 00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:44.640 attention that's drawn by Nikola Yokich. He finds the open man, but that 321 00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.519 was one of his ten assists. He finishes with the forty nine point fourteen 322 00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:52.839 and ten triple double. Let's hear from Coach Flu though post game. Who 323 00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.240 I thought they tried to mix things up with Yokich that did everything they could. 324 00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:00.759 He's just that good, he was Coach Lu post game, came out 325 00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.079 competed. You know, we played great. I'm glad I had a chance 326 00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:06.240 to calm down for a second, cause I was gonna say some stuff I 327 00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:10.160 shouldn't have said. But like I said, our guys battle no matter who's 328 00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:12.440 on the floor, who's playing, We're gonna compete every single night. And 329 00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:15.039 you know, hats off to our guys, you know, for what what 330 00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:26.200 we did, and you know whatever after that that has the yogage mask work. 331 00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:27.960 I mean, how many guys iver if you made that pass something? 332 00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:32.599 Not too many, probably him on Lebron, probably the only two guys. 333 00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:36.200 And you know, at the end of the game, the game being tired, 334 00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:37.720 we're not gonna let the best player beat us. He made a you 335 00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.960 know, a help of a skip pass and ag made a made a big 336 00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:48.200 shot, So I'm hats off to them. He wouldn't to uh, four 337 00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.240 time Mace consering suit. Had he really gotten out? What he responded? 338 00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:56.319 What do you think of the way he had sort of? I think more 339 00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:00.119 really the second half and scoring. Yeah, I think I thought. I 340 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:02.279 thought Zoo played a hell of a game, you know, all night, 341 00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:06.039 you know, along with our other guys as well, and just battling, 342 00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:10.440 competing. Like I said, fifteen for nineteen from the field when they went 343 00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:11.759 small, was they would take advantage them a little bit when they put you 344 00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:15.519 know, Jeff on him. But I thought Zoo was great all night and 345 00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:18.000 we was able to play their coverage is pretty well getting any shot we wanted. 346 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.079 And like I said, they made more players down the stretch than we 347 00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:26.640 did. Would you like about isolating Reggie and your good show off and went 348 00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:30.279 to that time to get at you some freezement from brand? Yeah, I 349 00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:33.240 just you know, they couldn't stop us in the pick and roll, so 350 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:34.480 they went to switching, you know, try to make us stag. Then 351 00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:38.200 I thought Reggie still did a good job of attacking and getting to the basket 352 00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:41.640 and creating shots by other people, you know, having twelve assists at night, 353 00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:45.759 you know, we having thirty five assists as a team. You know, 354 00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:48.480 I thought we did some really good things and you know they're gonna switch 355 00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:52.119 jokeing to our point guard. We gotta just keep the space in attack, 356 00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:56.079 and I thought we did a good job with that. It feels like so 357 00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:57.920 long ago because it was the first half, but just the way that with 358 00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:00.960 Justice inn and seem like he's kind of a bowling ball just scoring down the 359 00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.200 court. Four finald guys, so many potential assists. Yeah, I thought, 360 00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:07.839 especially in our first half, he did a great job of pushing the 361 00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:11.119 ball defensively. Our pace picked up in that second quarter with our second unit 362 00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:14.960 and got with Luca and you know, a lot of great shots my thought 363 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.920 Justice did. And so you know, like I said, my guy's battle, 364 00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:22.680 we fought. You know, like I said before, I'm glad I 365 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.400 had a chance to calm down before I said some things I shouldn't say. 366 00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:29.759 But I think I'm pretty sure you got seeing as well. What do you 367 00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:33.880 want your grids to part screen M I mean nothing. I mean, we 368 00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:36.440 lost, you know, but you know we can play with you know, 369 00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:37.559 we can play with the best of'em no matter who's on the floor. 370 00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:44.680 Defensively, how we play our toughness, our grittiness every single night. And 371 00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:48.039 you know, like I said, having thirty five assists on fifty two makes 372 00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:51.119 it is big for us, and so we've got to continue to just keep 373 00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:56.119 building from here and go go from here. They go to Philadelphia from Denver. 374 00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:00.200 Coach lu said it though they competed, they play hard, and that 375 00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:06.079 was a gutty, gritty type of effort just to take them to ot in 376 00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:11.279 a game where Nicola Yokich was that good and made that unbelievable pass there at 377 00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:15.920 the end. Clippers lose by two in ot to the Denver Nuggets. Friday's 378 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:22.680 game in Philadelphia.
