1
00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.639
The game is over. Paul George
money in the pain, but the postgame

2
00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:10.119
reaction has just begot Kawhi Leonard is
so smooth in the mid range. This

3
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:14.199
is Clippers Locker Room, a recap
of today's game and a look ahead on

4
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:19.120
your hope for LA Clippers basketball.
And now your host, You, sir,

5
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:24.960
are a bad man, Adam Auslin. Clippers lose their fourth straight,

6
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:29.199
this time to the New Orleans Pelicans
in downtown Los Angeles, one twelve to

7
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:32.840
ninety one. Welcome into your postgame
show. I'm Adam Oslin. Coming up,

8
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:35.039
we'll get to your postgame box score. You'll hear from the head coach,

9
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:39.039
Torontou and the players. But first
back to your voice of the Clippers,

10
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.000
Noah Eagle. So, no,
the hope is this is just a

11
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.560
tough stretch to start off the season. Normally, these things happen in the

12
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.439
middle of the year, once you
already see what type of team you have.

13
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:53.759
But the Clippers are obviously struggling in
areas that were strengths before, like

14
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.000
three points shooting. It's just bizarre
to see. Yeah, that's really the

15
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.600
bummer of all of it, Adam. You know, it's not really anything

16
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:06.000
that that you can say is a
bad thing because they just are missing shots,

17
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.680
and sometimes you just missed shots.
But it's a bummer because that's where

18
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:11.959
they excel. That's why they were
so good two years ago. It's what

19
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.840
basically guided them to the conference finals. Is they could make every open three

20
00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.400
that they had. They were setting
team records for threes and everything else.

21
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.000
And then this year and even last
year, they were still a very good

22
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.319
three point shooting team. They really
were. They were still one of the

23
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:27.920
better three point shooting teams in the
NBA. But right now, for whatever

24
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:33.920
reason, they just can't find any
consistency in that category. They came into

25
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.560
the game shooting just thirty two percent
from three, making nine threes a game.

26
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.719
They eggs of the game twenty eight
percent. Today eleven made threes,

27
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.560
which was the highest total, but
on thirty nine attempts, New Orleans took

28
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.719
three fewer attempts and made fifteen threes
in the game. And then once you

29
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.439
get behind the eight ball as a
result of that, that's when you start

30
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.040
chucking. You start taking some shots
you shouldn't take, You start trying to,

31
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.920
you know, make some passes you
shouldn't make. Things like that and

32
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.920
I think that's really the biggest problem
for the Clippers is they've gotten behind and

33
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.560
then you know, normally the comeback
clips because of that shooting, can shoot

34
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.240
themselves back into games, and right
now they just don't have it. So

35
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:14.439
that to me, if I'm looking
at one area that needs to improve more

36
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:15.840
than any other one, that's the
one that I said, all right,

37
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.319
this thing needs to get better.
And if the Clippers can find that rhythm,

38
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.319
I think a lot of this will
turn around basically overnight. But fifteen

39
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.280
more turnovers tonight, it's better.
It's an improvement, but it's still not

40
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.439
where you want to be. You
want to be around twelve to thirteen,

41
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:31.879
I e. Where the Pelicans were
today with only thirteen on the day.

42
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:35.759
I just there are a lot of
issues that need to be corrected, but

43
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.960
the shooting is what has to come
first and foremost. Yeah, and outside

44
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.599
the game in Sacramento where he went
off for forty, Paul George just hasn't

45
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.039
found his stroke. He hasn't looked
right. Maybe it's residual effects from the

46
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.039
illness, but five of nineteen he
tried to get it going. In that

47
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:53.120
third quarter, I believe was two
of seven and when your superstar doesn't have

48
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.039
it going, it's just tough to
get anything to muster on offense. Yeah,

49
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.759
I look, I like that he
shot nineteen. I like that he

50
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.120
took nineteen field goal attempts. That's
good, that's better, but it's still

51
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.560
probably not where it needs to be
and only two of eight from three.

52
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.280
I just to me, he needs
to be the focal point. If Kawhi

53
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.439
is not going to be in there, he is your star at that point.

54
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:14.240
We saw this last year and before
he went down with the elbow injury,

55
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.639
he was killing it. He was
a legitimate All Star and close to

56
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:22.479
that MVP range. He was just
doing everything for this team and that's why

57
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:23.960
they were winning. That's how they
got on that seven game winning streak.

58
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:28.000
He was Player of the Week in
the Western Conference. So they need that

59
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.680
level of Paul George if they want
to compete with Kawhi Leonard Sideline. If

60
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.840
Kawhi is gonna be out and pg's
gonna play like this, they're not giving

61
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.639
themselves much of a chance, even
how deep they are. And look,

62
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.039
Marcus Morris got off to a really
fast start, had the double figures in

63
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:44.560
the first quarter. He finished it
was just twelve points overall. Norm Powell,

64
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.280
with another good game off the bench
this time has eighteen points, but

65
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:51.759
he couldn't hit those shots when they
needed them the most. And John Wall

66
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.000
was a little bit more quiet today
with just eight. Luconnard was quiet off

67
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:58.960
the bench with just seven. So
PG needs to be the superstar. You're

68
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.719
getting paid as the super star you
were traded for. To be the superstar

69
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:05.960
without Kawhi Leonard, you have to
go out there and you have to perform

70
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.639
at the highest level. Well,
no time for the Clippers to hang their

71
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:13.080
heads. They get right back after
tomorrow and downtown Los Angeles they welcome in

72
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.639
the Houston Rockets. Tip time for
that one on Halloween is at seven thirty.

73
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.480
We'll have Clippers count down for you
at six thirty, No Eagle,

74
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.079
great call. I'll see you tomorrow, my friend. All right, Adam,

75
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:25.240
can't wait. Coming up next,
we'll get to your post game box

76
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.759
score. After the Clippers loose are
four straight one twelve to ninety one to

77
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:32.000
the New Orleans Pelicans, And you're
listening to the Los Angeles Clippers Radio Network,

78
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:40.000
George and Leonard running. You're listening
to LA Clippers Basketball lop it up

79
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.439
top Clipper puts it down plus the
foul every game all season long. On

80
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:51.160
their official home Clippers lose one twelve
to ninety one to the New Orleans Pelicans

81
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:55.439
and Downtown Los Angeles. Welcome back
into your post games show. I'm not

82
00:04:55.519 --> 00:05:00.920
a Moslin coming up, we'll hear
from the head coach and the players.

83
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.319
Let's get to your final box score. Clippers end up shooting just forty two

84
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:09.959
percent from the field. They go
well a more respectable percentage from three than

85
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.680
they were at They finish at twenty
eight percent. They're still below even their

86
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:18.000
average on the season, which is
woefully low at thirty two percent from the

87
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.680
outside. But believe it or not, throughout most of the game, the

88
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:25.920
Clippers were much worse than that.
After starting three of six from the outside,

89
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:30.519
they would hit just four of their
next twenty six attempts from three.

90
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.600
They end up going eleven of thirty
nine eight of thirteen from the free throw

91
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:39.560
line. You've been missing five free
throws and that's been a problem early on

92
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.720
this season. Just not doing the
little things right. And of course,

93
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:48.519
fifteen turnovers a better number than nineteen
or twenty, but still a little too

94
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:53.040
high. You're leading score for the
Clippers in this one. Off the bench,

95
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.439
it was Norman Powell who had eighteen
on seven to fourteen shooting, hit

96
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:00.120
three of his seven takes from the
outside. As for the starters, Paul

97
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:05.519
George had fourteen but on nineteen shots
and just has not looked right so far

98
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:10.680
through these six games. Obviously he
missed one of them, but outside the

99
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:15.920
game in Sacramento where he had forty
points, his shooting percentage has been precipitous.

100
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.639
It's been a huge drop off for
him, just two of eight from

101
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:23.319
the outside. He's in a funk. As four the New Orleans Pelicans,

102
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:26.639
they get twenty one, twelve and
seven from Zion Williamson, twenty two from

103
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.680
CJ. McCollum, and they win
one twelve to ninety one over the Clippers.

104
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.560
Coming up next, we're looking for
postgame audio from coaching and the players

105
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:44.920
right here on the Los Angeles Clippers
Radio Network. Oh Paul George LA Clippers

121
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.399
to go to the NBA Finals.
I believe in my heart this is the

122
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.639
best team in the history of the
franchise. I am all about the Clipper

up, We're looking for post game audio

134
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:09.559
still from head coach Toron lou and
the players after they make it four straight

135
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:16.120
losses to start off this season.
Where I would say their schedule has been

136
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:22.840
more favorable than it will be,
especially as we start twenty twenty three.

137
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.600
I didn't think there would be a
chance the Clippers started any worse than seven

138
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.879
and three in their first ten games. Well, that has become impossible with

139
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.480
their fourth loss today to a team
that I want to says eight and one

140
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:43.080
against the Clippers and their last nine
contests now, the team that knocked them

141
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.840
out of the playing tournament last season, keeping them out of the playoffs,

142
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:52.799
and a team that didn't even have
Brandon Inger or Herb Jones. Zion was

143
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.720
back. I know most of the
cliber Nation just assumed, of course,

144
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:01.600
he's going to come back against us, and he had twenty one twelve and

145
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:05.840
seven light work and thirty one minutes. But I don't even think it was

146
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.919
so much of what the Pelicans were
doing as opposed to what the Clippers were

147
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:15.480
not doing. They didn't have twenty
turnovers or nineteen in this one, but

148
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.440
fifteen still not a great number,
especially after having just three in the first

149
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.720
quarter. And they led for the
first time in four games. After the

150
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.440
first quarter twenty five to eighteen,
things were looking better. Marcus Morris was

151
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.799
back. He had ten of his
twelve points in that first quarter, tell

152
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:37.399
us he only had two afterwards in
twenty seven minutes. Paul George was assisting

153
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.960
first and then trying to look for
his offense which he could never find.

154
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:48.320
Paul George is in a deep early
season funk. As good as he was

155
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:52.399
last year when we were talking about
MVPG to start off the season before the

156
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:54.840
elbow injury and the Clippers ran off
seven straight after starting one in four,

157
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:01.480
he has been in a funk.
He's been down bad five of nineteen fourteen

158
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:07.320
points and just two of eight from
three, and the Clippers, I would

159
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.240
say they're three point percentage in the
final box scores inflated compared to how it

160
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:15.320
was throughout most of the game.
We're going to be accurate about it.

161
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.200
At least they started three of six. I thought there were signs that they

162
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:22.360
were starting to heat up on the
outside, and then they would hit just

163
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:28.559
four of their next twenty six.
That's fifteen percent. They're down fifteen double

164
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.960
digits down by twenty and they lose
one twelve to ninety one, an area

165
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:39.399
that's been a strength for them for
years with the same guys. It's inconceivable.

166
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:45.240
It's unbelievable how their three point shooting
has been this bad to start off

167
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.559
the season, where there were twenty
seven coming into this one shooting thirty two

168
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.559
point four percent from three, and
today they shoot twenty eight point two percent

169
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.879
on eleven of thirty nine shooting from
three. They were even worse after starting

170
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.559
off well, and they missed a
lot of open looks. I don't have

171
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.159
the sport VU numbers yet, but
pretty sure there were a lot of wide

172
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.080
open misses, no one within six
feet of the attempting three point shooter.

173
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.879
So Clippers and a funk as a
team, but sometimes you go as your

174
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:20.559
stars do. And I applaud Paul
George for trying to get it going in

175
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.360
that third quarter. I said pregame, he's got to put up more shots

176
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:30.559
outside the forty point game against Sacramento, he was not getting up more than

177
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.840
twelve in a ball game. He
got up nineteen, but he only made

178
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.399
five of them. And in that
third quarter, I said it immediately,

179
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:41.960
they were going to him right away. It was an extended possession. He

180
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.360
eventually got a layup to go,
but he ended up I think two of

181
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:50.519
seven in the third and just never
found a rhythm. Whether he was going

182
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:54.879
to the basket or shooting from the
outside didn't matter. Out of sinc out

183
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.720
of sorts, a microcos him of
what this team has been on offense.

184
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.559
Defensively, Look, they gave up
one twelve because the fourth quarter got away

185
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:09.679
from them. But I think the
Pelicans had eighty five heading into the fourth.

186
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:16.279
I should look on that. Clippers
defensively there were six coming into today's

187
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.840
game. It's not the defense.
I saw a lot of people talking about

188
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:24.639
that after Yes, a bad second
half Thursday night, no KC. But

189
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.039
the Pelicans had seventy eight points heading
into the third quarter. They've been averaging

190
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.799
one hundred and twenty a game.
They finished with one twelve because they got

191
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.000
out and ran, and the Clippers
called off the dogs with four minutes left.

192
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.120
They were down big. They got
some of the young guys in there,

193
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.840
and now I'm wondering some of these
young guys are gonna have to grow

194
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:46.720
up fast. As Brandon Boston junior
are gonna be playing tomorrow against the Rockets.

195
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.440
Clippers are on her back to back, Houston will be two. They

196
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.600
playing Phoenix later tonight. Put it, what point do you just try anything?

197
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:58.840
And I don't think it's crazy.
In case of emergency, brake glass

198
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.159
and bring out Brandon Boston for more
meaningful minutes. I don't think it would

199
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:09.440
be crazy if Musadiabatte got play at
this point with how bad things have looked,

200
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:16.080
and they don't have a true backup
big for Bevitsa Zubos, who played

201
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.200
twenty three minutes, had just four
points, missed a bad hook shot in

202
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:26.360
the second half, and the Clippers
offense is stalling and failing them. They

203
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:33.080
had a fifteen point third quarter,
and Paul George tried and again I like

204
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:35.879
the fact that he's trying to shoot
himself out of this funk. It's the

205
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.519
only way to do it. It's
just not happening right now. That Reggie

206
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:43.200
had a nice stint early in the
third, he had seventh straight for them.

207
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.360
He was carrying them, doing everything
he could, but he finished with

208
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:52.399
just nine points. And outside of
Norman Powell who dropped eighteen and I think

209
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.600
had twelve of those or thirteen in
the first half and looks really good.

210
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.440
When the Clippers were up by eleven, it was middle of the second quarter

211
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.240
and I sat on Twitter at fall
out of me. They got to close

212
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.279
out this quarter, well, they
got to go in with a lead,

213
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.159
and instead they were tied up at
fifty two. Third quarters haven't been kind

214
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:16.000
to them, to say the least, and they lose this one one twelve

215
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:20.399
to ninety one, fourth straight loss. After they come back home with two

216
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:26.519
days of rest after losing two in
okay Ac. It was set up for

217
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:30.919
a bounce back. I know Zion
was back, but no brandon Ingram.

218
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.120
New Orleans is beat up too.
There's just not a lot of excuses you

219
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.799
can make right now for this Clippers
team outside of eventually these shots are gonna

220
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:45.080
fall because they have good three point
shooters on the team. They started off

221
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:50.000
cold last year from the outside after
having that historic season in twenty twenty one

222
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:54.759
from three a top five three points
shooting season ever at over forty one percent

223
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:00.960
as a team. Last season they
started off cold, but after the All

224
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.440
Star Break they became the best three
point shooting team again and they finished I

225
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:08.960
think top five overall in the year. The guys were there. In fact,

226
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:14.279
they have more three point shooters and
guys who can put them up and

227
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:19.399
put them in Normally it's not happening. And I can't even fault some of

228
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:23.759
the ball movement because they were getting
good looks and if they're failing like that

229
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.120
from the outside, if they're not
getting them to go, it's a huge

230
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.639
part of their offense. It's a
huge part of the NBA now, but

231
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:33.440
it certainly is a huge part of
this Clippers team. And you're gonna see

232
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:40.919
days like this four of them.
Recently, Clippers dropped to two and four.

233
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.120
They lose it home to the Pelicans
one twelve to ninety one. We'll

234
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:45.080
take a quick time out, we'll
come back. We'll get to your phone

235
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.840
calls. I'll scare them here during
the break eight six six ninety eight seven

236
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.639
two five seventy eight six six nine
eight seven two five seventy. And we're

237
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.799
still looking for postgame audio for you
right here on Clippers Stoff on AM five

238
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:07.720
seventy LA Sports George and Leonard running. You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball up

239
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:11.200
top. Clipper puts it down plus
the foul every game all season long on

240
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:22.839
their official hole. Clippers lose again, this time to the New Orleans Pelicans,

241
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.039
one twelve to ninety one in downtown
Los Angeles. You're back in on

242
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:30.440
Clipper stock. I'm Adam Oslin.
Eight six six nine eight seven two seventy

243
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.240
eight six six nine eight seven two
five seventy is the phone number we got

244
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.079
audio from coach Loop post game.
We'll get to that here in this very

245
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.000
segment. But first Javier and Lahabber
Heights start things off here on Clippers Talk.

246
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:47.720
Hi Javier, and it's up any
Adam Happy Sunday. At this point,

247
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.920
I mean, it's like, who
do you I mean, who do

248
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:55.839
you blame? I mean, it's
never just one guy. I know,

249
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.240
I know it's not one guy,
but it just seems like the whole team,

250
00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:00.079
right, the whole team is not
pretty well. I mean, just

251
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.480
thinking about it, it's just my
opinion. I mean, you think it's

252
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:08.640
because of Kauai, honestly, because
you come to the season, Adam,

253
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:12.640
thinking you're gonna have you two big
guns Kawai employed George, and what happens

254
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:18.480
right away? Something's something always happens
to Kauai all this or that and this

255
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.920
well, and it's not it's not
always the same. I mean, he's

256
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:23.759
coming off an a cl injury.
It's not a little ding, it's not

257
00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:29.319
like a lower back thing. It
is an ACL tear. Let's just be

258
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:34.920
honest about the severity of the injury. But it's been fifteen months, Adam,

259
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:38.079
I mean, to recover fifteen months, So what do you do?

260
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:41.200
You scream at your need to make
it to respond better? If it's not

261
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:45.400
responding as well as we had hoped, as well as he had hoped,

262
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:48.440
what can you do? You?
I know, I know, I mean,

263
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.559
it just it is what it is. It's just that you know it

264
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:53.119
just at this point, I mean, what do you do? Like you

265
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:56.319
said, you got to arrest them, But I mean, at what point

266
00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:57.599
are you going to arrest him?
To what? They're two and ten?

267
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:00.079
I mean, I mean, you
know what I'm saying. I mean,

268
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.519
I know what you're saying. It's
what you you need to. It's his

269
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:07.839
neat But I mean it's just a
mental thing. I'm thinking, Look,

270
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.440
they're not if they get to two
and ten. It's not because of Kawhi

271
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:15.000
Leonard's not playing. They have enough
guy's hobby here. I think you would

272
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.440
agree with this that they can win
games. We talked about this being one

273
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:21.759
of the deepest teams ever. They're
just not getting the job done right now.

274
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:26.599
Paul George was out there today.
They're not getting it done. I

275
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:32.400
mean, I mean tomorrow's game against
the Rockets, I mean at this point

276
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:36.319
that that's the must game, Adam, because like that caller of yours,

277
00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:38.920
what's the name Lenny And in Inglewood
when you call last name, he said,

278
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:44.519
Man, Steve Bomber's got to start
doing some terrors, firing people because

279
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:48.400
there's no way they should lose tomorrow, Adam against the Rockets. So all

280
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:51.160
right, Adam, I agree with
you. It's it's a must win game.

281
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:52.160
We'll talk to you tomorrow, Hovey. I appreciate the phone calls,

282
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:57.960
always speaking of speaking into existence.
Lenny in Inglewood, Lenny, you're on

283
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:03.839
Glibber stop, Well it's I've had
him. Listen. I didn't even bother

284
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:06.519
the call of the last game when
they lost some games, okay, see,

285
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:08.240
because I was like, I'm not
going to be the Debbie downer,

286
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:12.599
dude. But like I said,
man, I looked at the history of

287
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:18.359
the NBA, and as of right
now, we have the Wall Stars and

288
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:23.559
there's only been two teams in the
history of the NBA. So won the

289
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:30.279
championship with All Stars. If Paul
George goes for thirty tomorrow, excuse me,

290
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.319
Lenny, if Paul George goes for
thirty tomorrow, see an All Star

291
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:37.960
again. To be honest, early, because you got some bottles in the

292
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.079
West Coast man. Right now,
McCollum is putting up big numbers I'm just

293
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:45.559
saying, can't we can't we admit
that they have an All Star caliber player

294
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.400
who had a forty point game is
not playing right well, right now,

295
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.440
that's where it is. You're right, he's not putting it up right now.

296
00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:55.599
And Kawai has already missed too many
games I think to be an All

297
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:57.480
Star because he's going to come back
and you know, go on a chair

298
00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:03.799
that we've never seen. I don't
see it. So Norman Powell was supposed

299
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:04.680
to, you know, we supposed
to put those kind of numbers up.

300
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:11.440
We just this this I don't know, man, it's something that needs to

301
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:17.319
change. And last time you talked
about how Boston started out slow and they

302
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:19.640
turned around last year, which they
did, but you gotta remember they made

303
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:22.359
a big trade. They got rid
of Dennis Shoulder, and they got rid

304
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.480
of the other another guy, and
they brought in to do with the after

305
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:32.039
him I forgot from San Antonio.
And it changed and and in the words

306
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:36.920
of emailed, okay, he said, we got more. We got additioned

307
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:40.960
by subtraction because Shoulder was hogging the
bonus and the other dude just wanted to

308
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:45.839
could driven it. So I don't
know what's gonna happen. But you know

309
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:51.279
at this point, uh, they're
not even gonna feel if if we don't

310
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:55.680
make a stand this year. They're
not going to feel that stadium out the

311
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:57.720
fact there's too much going on in
LA. This is supposed to be our

312
00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:02.359
year. Everybody knows it, everybody's
been talking about it. The Clippers have

313
00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:06.720
got to deliver. I don't Okay, that's all I got to say.

314
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:08.680
Brow. I'm with you, Lenny, I'm with you. Call in tomorrow

315
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.279
man. Hopefully after the Clippers bounce
back, because they need to against the

316
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:18.559
struggling Houston young team, one of
the bottom dwellers in the Western Conference.

317
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.599
You would expect. But it's not
like the Clippers can take anyone lightly right

318
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:25.759
now. They're two and four.
You can't overlook anybody. When you're playing

319
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:29.519
like this, when you're turning the
ball over, you're making teams better than

320
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:33.680
their records, You're helping them play
better against you. These self inflicted wounds

321
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:38.039
by the Clippers over and over again, and then just not hitting shots.

322
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:42.440
It is a maker miss League.
I hate the cliche, but when I

323
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:48.480
pull those sport VU numbers and we
see how many open threes the Clippers miss

324
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:52.440
by guys who are good three point
shooters. I don't know what to tell

325
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:56.160
you other than keep shooting, keep
firing. Eventually they'll fall. The law

326
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.279
of averages will come into effect.
It always does. I just brought up

327
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:00.960
last season. They got off to
a s little start from three. All

328
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:03.319
right, quick time out, we'll
come back. You'll hear from coach Lou

329
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:07.599
back to your phone calls eight six
six nine eight seven two five seventy eight

330
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.599
six six nine eight seven two five
seventy. Javier and Lenny there both checking

331
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.240
in two of the regulars. Here
on Clippers Talk after they lose one twelve

332
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.359
to ninety one to the Pelicans.
Yeah, there's got to be a sense

333
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:25.279
of urgency. They got to play
with more intensity consistently for forty eight minutes.

334
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.119
Saw it in the first quarner.
Midway through the second it started to

335
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.880
wayne in the turnovers. As soon
as they started the second corner. They

336
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:37.200
had three turnovers in the first three
minutes after having just three in the first

337
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:44.839
twelve. So the problem is,
what do we talk about early most seasons,

338
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:48.880
you're building good habits, good process. It's not happening yet for the

339
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:53.319
Clippers. Let's go in the other
direction for them. Do you want these

340
00:23:53.359 --> 00:24:00.599
things to become normalized or regular regular
occurrences with these n overs getting beat on

341
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:11.000
the boards, the shooting, it
comes and goes, but it's been lost

342
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.799
at sea through the first six games. Now for the Clippers, that should

343
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.960
mean it's returning soon. We'll see
if it's smorrow more Clippers dot next during

344
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:26.279
the Empire seventy old sports and he
got it, count it from distance.

345
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.720
The odds on favorite to hoist the
Larry o'bright heavily contest it, and it

346
00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:37.200
doesn't matter on the home of your
La Clippers. That's the standard. Those

347
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:41.039
are the expectations. You just heard
the promo. When you're the favorite,

348
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:47.079
one of the favorites, and you
start off two and four, I'm gonna

349
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:48.920
get calls like I've been receiving tonight
here on Clippers Talk. I'm met am

350
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:53.119
Moslin to eight six six nine eight
seven two five seventy eight six six nine

351
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:56.839
eight seven two five seventy. I'm
sure why we're in the club of Gronk.

352
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:03.880
But yet hyper tomorrow's game, all
the weeen edition Clippers taking on the

353
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:10.079
Houston Rockets. Let's get a Morris
in long beach Morris, you're on Clippers

354
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:15.680
stop withoutims on. What's up?
Morris? I'm rich Adam. Can you

355
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.759
hear me? All right? I
hear your Morris. Let rep. You

356
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.319
know, I was just sitting here, I was thinking about what are the

357
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.079
biggest surprises in the NBA this year? And the Clippers being two games under

358
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.359
five hundred, that's not the biggest
surprise. The biggest surprise to me was

359
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:36.079
is who would have thought that Chauncey
Billips, who's now coacham Portland, we'd

360
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:38.799
have a better record than his former
you know, head coach Ron Loup and

361
00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:44.240
then also Luca Dodges First Team All
Pro I mean, really, it might

362
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:45.519
be one of the first players you
picked if you was to pick an All

363
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.960
Star team. He's got a losing
record. So we got a lot of

364
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:52.920
surprises in the NBA. You know, the people on TV, the folks

365
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:56.440
on TV is telling us that we're
gonna win the championship, but they're not

366
00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.839
the ones executing on the floor.
And from what I'm what I've been listening

367
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:02.480
to. When I listened to him, a boy, you know during the

368
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:03.839
games, I like for me having
to say good passing. Oh, the

369
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.079
Clippers are passing that ball, it's
moving up from east side of the court.

370
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:11.839
I didn't hear none of that,
So what's happening, Mars. They

371
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.880
had twenty four assists and missed a
ton of wide open shots. The passing

372
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:21.640
was fine, they got to knock
them down. Well, I gotta agree

373
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:22.440
with you on one thing. At
him. I know you sound like a

374
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.599
preacher, but you're right about this. It is a make misleague. It

375
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:30.440
truly, truly is. It is
a make miss league, and sometimes when

376
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:33.119
you make a basket it can be
important for the cycle of the team.

377
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:37.000
You're right, but they're not hitting
them right now. But I'm not gonna

378
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:40.000
blame one guy. T The Clippers
gonna get better. They got too much

379
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:42.119
good material. But that is a
surprise, don't you think that. You

380
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:45.720
know, im Portland and five and
one in Dallas under five hundred and the

381
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.599
Clippers two games under five hundred.
It's a crazy league. That's why they

382
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.200
play eighty two games. You know, it's a long way. A matter

383
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:56.480
of fact, Come see me sometime
in February, October, right now November,

384
00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:59.000
comes see me in February, because
that's when it really gets sick.

385
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:02.079
Okay, behavior, So I thought
he was gonna say, come see me

386
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:07.960
into Macula in February. They're Morrison
long Beach also a regular here on Clippers

387
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.079
Talk. You're right, there are
surprises, and the Clippers aren't the only

388
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:15.640
team not playing to their capabilities yet. Golden States three and three, Dallas

389
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.119
is two and three. You brought
them up, you toss five and two.

390
00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:25.640
That's been the biggest surprise really in
the league. But the Clippers,

391
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.880
the surprise is there's strengths or weaknesses
right now. Their depth hasn't been good

392
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:36.480
enough, Paul George hasn't been good
enough. They're not playing sound basketball,

393
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:41.079
they're turning it over and they're not
hitting from three. That's what's strange.

394
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.359
All right, Will and Huntington Beach. Will, you're on Clippers Talk without

395
00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:47.519
I'm Awsten, Hey, Adam,
a big fan of the show. Thanks

396
00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:49.079
for letting me call in. I
just want to echo a friends of long

397
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:52.119
Beach to your point. Like we
talked at the start of the season,

398
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:56.440
how we're a really deep team.
And I know Ted like he's down on

399
00:27:56.440 --> 00:27:57.799
the JD Retic podcast, you got
a bunch of stop and said he wants

400
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:02.599
to be patient all about that.
But we're a deep team, we should

401
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:04.359
have like open tryouts for the positions, like let's I'm with you, let's

402
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:10.079
call it the app Let's play Brandon
Boston. Let's let preston Like if guys

403
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:11.240
aren't defending, if they're not bringing
the energy on the other side of the

404
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:15.599
floor, and then like, well, I think it should be Like like

405
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:18.680
I said, there are top ten
defense. Defense is not the problem.

406
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:21.640
I feel like when teams lose,
you just say everything's a problem. Let's

407
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:26.799
let's try to highlight what actually is
they are. I think the worst offense

408
00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:32.640
statistically right now after today's game putting
the ninety one points, that's the issue.

409
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:37.960
The turnovers. So I just,
I mean, let's start with what

410
00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:44.720
the actual problems are, the glaring
ones. Do you hear me? Well,

411
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:47.519
I mean I can hear it.
Yeah, I mean you talk about

412
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:48.839
shooting and like I'm with you,
like you know, Paul George at a

413
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:53.359
forty point game. I just I
still, I mean, I I know

414
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:56.240
the stats say were top defense,
but every time I watch this team,

415
00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:00.880
I just don't see the energy on
that end, and especially from like our

416
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:06.359
offensive guys like Pole, like Morris, etc. I mean, but Tom

417
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:08.839
had a block on Zion. They
had some good plays early on Zoobots got

418
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:12.160
in a foul trouble. I've heard
this before. Do they look like a

419
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:15.400
top ten defense right now? I
don't know, but they are. Do

420
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:18.000
You watch every team because the stats
pay attention to everyone, and I'm talking

421
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:22.920
about defensive rating. And the Clippers
were six coming into this game. They've

422
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.039
been okay on that end. New
Orleans been averaging one twenty and they'd had

423
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.680
seventy eight through three quarters. Yeah, they ended up getting one twelve because

424
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:33.079
the game got away from the Clippers. But it's a putting up a fifteen

425
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:37.400
point third quarter by the Clippers that
got them in trouble. That's what's doing

426
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:41.880
it. It's them on offense right
now. All right, we'll take a

427
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:47.039
quick time out, we'll come back. Then we'll play Coach Lou that'll be

428
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:49.039
the positive. Let you hear from
that leader. I did see this from

429
00:29:49.079 --> 00:29:56.039
Paul George. Quote. This is
from our friend Joey Lynn covers the Clippers

430
00:29:56.279 --> 00:30:00.799
for SI. Now Paul George said, quote, it starts with me.

431
00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:03.759
I was port tonight. I've been
poor the last couple of games. I'll

432
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.319
get it together. I'm committed to
my work. I'm committed to this team

433
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:15.000
succeeding and I believe them, and
we're six games in. Something's got to

434
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:18.640
start though tomorrow against the Rockets.
More Clippers stock next year on amp by

it up, top clip puts it
down plus the foul every game all season

437
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:38.240
long on their official home. Clippers
lose one twelve to ninety one, four

438
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:42.319
straight loss, this time to the
Pelicans in downtown Los Angeles. They get

439
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:48.319
back after tomorrow they need to against
the Houston Rockets. They play later tonight

440
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:53.640
in Phoenix. Here was coach lou
post game after the loss. It stands

441
00:30:53.640 --> 00:31:03.160
out from today's game pace. I
think speed of the game, and you

442
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:04.839
know, just not and you know
in a half court, not moving with

443
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:08.680
pace and with speed, kind of
walking through everything offensively, and so when

444
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:11.920
we do, that's gonna be tough
to score. And then I think,

445
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:15.720
you know, on missus, we
gotta be able to run an attack early

446
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.480
in transition, which we're not getting
out all five guys not running all the

447
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.960
time, and then when we do
get in a half court, we're just

448
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:26.680
moving too slow. I feel like
we've repeated a lot of the same talking

449
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.160
points the last couple of days.
I guess, what do you think,

450
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:40.440
how does this change for you guys? One makes some shots, that's one

451
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:48.079
way to play with more pace,
more physicality. And three play harder,

452
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:52.359
play harder. I mean, you
know, you're in a hole right now.

453
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.039
We're in a hole right now,
and so we have to do these

454
00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:00.359
things every single night, which we
talk about and so either we gotta get

455
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:05.599
better at it or we gotta do
something different. And so I'm you know,

456
00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:07.680
I'm not to that point yet,
but we just gotta do some things

457
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:10.839
better. And we're not very good. They're not a very good basketball team

458
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:15.359
right now, and we got to
change that. What do you make of

459
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:17.759
a Pulse struggles so far at the
season after the King's game, I think

460
00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:22.119
he's shooting about twenty eight percent of
the season. I don't know. You

461
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:25.359
know, we have confidence and you
know what he brings on both sides of

462
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:29.599
the basketball, and as long as
he's taking his shots. And I thought

463
00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:31.759
tonight he got his shot, he
just didn't make and so that's part of

464
00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:36.880
basketball and so but the other things, like just taking care of the basketball,

465
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:39.720
rebounding the basketball, you know,
defending, and that's one through fifteen.

466
00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:43.160
You know, we can do those
things every single night, and so

467
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:46.279
that's what we're focused on. You
know, I thought we got some open

468
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:50.920
shots tonight that we didn't make,
but you know, just being able to

469
00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:52.680
you know, enjoy the game,
have fun with the game, you know,

470
00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:57.759
and so you know, PG,
he's gonna be fine. Like we

471
00:32:57.839 --> 00:33:00.559
know we could score the basketball.
So that's not a concern those Coach lou

472
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:05.480
post game Paul George and a slump
dating really back to the preseason. Now

473
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:09.200
Clippers have a chance to turn it
around and right the ship tomorrow against the

474
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:13.240
Houston Rockets. Tip time for that
one is at seven thirty on Halloween.

475
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:16.720
We'll have Clippers countdown starting at six
thirty before we get out of here.

476
00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:21.319
