WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:06.679 Time for a postgame Look, it's your LA Clippers. This is Clippers Locker 2 00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:10.119 Road, brought to you by Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of the 3 00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:15.119 LA Clippers, and by Putschonga, official travel casino of the LA Clippers. 4 00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:19.679 Breaking down today's action with the pre and post game voice. If you're LA 5 00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:25.039 Clippers, they're locking in every game every night. Adam Oslan Clippers go small 6 00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:29.760 and come up small late. They led by fifteen in Milwaukee in the third 7 00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:34.280 quarter, they get out scored forty to twenty five by a Bucks team without 8 00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:39.600 Jannis Denacunpo and Chris Middleton in the fourth quarter and they lose one thirteen to 9 00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:44.840 one oh six. Welcome into your postgame show. I'm atam Oslin coming up 10 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.960 lef Clippers stock for you. Eight sixty six ninety seven two five seventy eight 11 00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.719 six six nine e seven two five seventy is the phone number. But right 12 00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.039 now, back out to Milwaukee with your radio voice of the Clippers in Carlo 13 00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.840 Jimenez. Carlo is the second time in a week the Clippers have absolutely collapsed 14 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.480 down the stretch. It happened against the Lakers, it happens again against Milwaukee. 15 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.519 It was miss free throws, a team going cold, and a team 16 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:12.159 going small late, and the adjustment just was not effective against Milwaukee. Yeah, 17 00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.640 it seemed like Milwaukee was getting anything they wanted with Portus underneath. The 18 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.480 Clippers tried to go small and match Milwaukee bunkt per bunquet, but they only 19 00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.200 scored ten points over the final five and a half minutes, got outscored by 20 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.480 thirteen, and just couldn't hit open shots late. I felt like there was 21 00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.920 a lot of good looks for them down the stretch that usually go the Clippers 22 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.040 way, but did not in this one. All the credits till Milwaukee. 23 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:40.879 They found the advantage with Portis underneath, and they fed it. Portis had 24 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:45.480 fourteen points coming into the fourth quarter. He had fourteen in the fourth quarter, 25 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:53.159 including two big threes and sixteen rebounds. Without Giannis Antokumpo, the Bucks 26 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.200 outscored the Clippers in the paint in this one, and they just could not 27 00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.680 get it done. Glillered with forty one. You almost felt like he was 28 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:06.159 gonna get a forty piece. I know that sounds crazy to say, but 29 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.240 with no Yiannis, he gets up twenty two shots in this one. There's 30 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:12.199 no surprise there. It was the other guys that hurt the Clippers in this 31 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.639 one, namely Bobby Portis, who since the All Star Break has been a 32 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:20.280 different animal, averaging over fifteen points a game in this six game winning streak 33 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.159 for Milwaukee. I'm sure the Clippers had the scouting report, but there was 34 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.560 nothing they could do about it in that fourth quarter. I mean, they 35 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:30.039 only gave up twenty five points in the first three quarters at most, twenty 36 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:31.719 five points on the first quarter, twenty three in the second, twenty five 37 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:36.120 in the third, to give up a forty spot in that fourth quarter and 38 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.240 once again go cold miss key free throws, Paul George missing three in that 39 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:45.719 fourth quarter. These are just inexcusable mistakes by a Clippers team that wants to 40 00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.919 be a championship contender, and it was a game that was set up for 41 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.879 them to win without Giannison Dennakumpo, and for whatever reason, they just had 42 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:57.759 another meltdown in just about the span of a week. Yeah, it really. 43 00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.280 It's it's weird because you look that I did that Laker game at him, 44 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:05.000 and I felt like there was things to fix, right. The Clippers 45 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.919 turned it over a lot. They didn't get back at transition very well, 46 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:12.520 and they were unable to get to score on the offensive end. In this 47 00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.360 one. The Clippers got, I mean a little bit out scheme today. 48 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:20.599 When you think about Milwaukee going zone late, the Clippers really didn't have an 49 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.479 answer for that zone and they didn't have an answer for Bobby Portis. We're 50 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:27.840 changing up for the small ball lineup. I think for the Clippers, it's 51 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.280 a good thing you play Milwaukee on Sunday because there's a lot to think about, 52 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:32.719 a lot that's going to be fresh on your mind, and a lot 53 00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.800 you need to work on going into that game. It will be another back 54 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.199 to back for the Clippers. I believe they play Chicago. I don't know 55 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:44.080 if it's the night before or the night after, but the Clippers have to 56 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:51.000 be better at making sure they make adjustments because the adjustments just weren't there today. 57 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.400 The zone was there from Milwaukee. It is on the second side of 58 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:57.759 a back to back, by the way, back to back twelve o'clock starts 59 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.960 for the Clippers, but the adjustment it was not there for the Clippers. 60 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.639 At him, I felt like at Doc Rivers had found what worked and the 61 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:09.719 Clippers failed. The counter in this one didn't really make a change. Yeah, 62 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.879 it's interesting. I understand going small at first to bust the zone. 63 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.480 You can attack the cracks there. You can find a couple of players that 64 00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:18.519 you can match up well against. Draw two to the basketball. Kick it 65 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:21.519 out swinging a wrong on the perimeter. But they weren't making shots all of 66 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.439 a sudden from the outside, and they were getting beat up on the other 67 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.560 end. Something fierce interested to hear from Coach Lue post game if Avitza Zubats 68 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.079 maybe was still in a minist restriction coming back from that fever he had this 69 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:35.639 past week. He hits twenty four minutes, doesn't get back into the ballgame 70 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:41.600 late, as Bobby Portis was just scoring over and over again against this Clippers 71 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.199 team. He and Brook Lopez were out there late. Clippers let go of 72 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:49.360 a fifteen point lead. They lose one thirteen to one zero six in Milwaukee 73 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:55.959 to the Bucks. Clippers next ballgame coming up on Wednesday, they have to 74 00:04:56.079 --> 00:05:00.240 respond after this one. They have for the most part this season, and 75 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:02.920 after losses. They'll be in Houston taking on the Rockets. Tip time at 76 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:08.879 four thirty. We'll have your pregame show starting at three thirty Carlo Jimenez. 77 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.000 Great call, even given the situation. My friends, save travels the h 78 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.720 town will talk to you on Wednesday. Talk to you Wednesday. I it's 79 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:17.399 not all bad for the Clippers. They don't miss nine free throws every single 80 00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:19.879 night, and they are gonna be a team to bounce back. They have 81 00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:25.560 bounce back a lot this season, so looking forward to that game. Hopefully 82 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:28.920 the Clippers can find a way to get a big win. Clippers fall one 83 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:32.040 thirteen to one oh six in Milwaukee to the Bucks without Giannis aDNA Kumpo. 84 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.319 Coming up next, we'll get to your final box score right here on the 85 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:42.240 Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network. Every Clipper game all season long, they didn't 86 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:46.800 stop playing hard. You're listening to the LA Clippers Audio Network streaming on the 87 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:56.519 iHeartRadio lap. Somehow, the Clippers lose while being up fifteen in the third 88 00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:02.839 quarter. They fall one thirteen to one oh in Milwaukee to a Giannis Adenikumpo 89 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:10.199 less Chris Middleton less Bucks team. Welcome back into your postgame show. I'm 90 00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.839 Adame Oslin. Coming up on a M five to seven E LA Sports. 91 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.800 We'll have Clippers stock for you eight six, six nine eight seven two five 92 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:20.560 seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number you 93 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:27.680 can also get to me at follow Adam A. The Clippers were outscored twenty 94 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:33.839 three to ten in the last five minutes of this ballgame. They ended up 95 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:39.480 missing nine free throws total. I believe four in the fourth quarter alone, 96 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.000 three by PG thirteen one by Kawhi Leonard. I believe it might have been 97 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:49.240 five, one by James Harden. Also just an inexcusable loss against Milwaukee Bucks 98 00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:54.800 team without their MVP, without Giannis Adenakumpo, Yes Dame, he went off. 99 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.360 He had forty one points in forty two minutes, but the Clippers had 100 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.319 contained him enough and contain the others around him. The role players, the 101 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:09.439 ancillary players weren't doing much until it mattered most. You had Bobby Portis get 102 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:14.600 fourteen points in that fourth quarter. He finished with twenty eight twelve of eighteen, 103 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:18.600 shooting a couple of three pointers, and the Clippers just didn't adjust. 104 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:25.000 Ever, they played small, They tried to break the zone with shooting and 105 00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:30.040 attacking the space. Nothing was working, and on the other end, they 106 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.759 gave up a forty spot in the final twelve minutes. They hadn't given up 107 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.959 more than twenty five points in a quarter, and they give up forty in 108 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:43.639 the fourth quarter. The rotations were bad. There was no helping the helper. 109 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.240 Five guys on a string, forget about it. It was brutal to 110 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:51.079 watch a slow death in a comeback by the Bucks where they were down by 111 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:56.639 fifteen. I set it on X. They have energy. They're playing like 112 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:01.399 a team that believes. The Clippers had their chances to open this thing up 113 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.680 in that third quarter, up by fifteen, they didn't put them away and 114 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.560 they paid for it. They lose one thirteen to one oh six in Milwaukee. 115 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.920 Clippers next game coming up in Houston on Wednesday. We'll get to that 116 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:16.759 and more. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy. If you'd 117 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.759 like to get in early for Clippers, stock on AM by seventy LA Sports. 118 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:26.160 As you're listening to the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network, the LA Clippers 119 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.959 continue their hunt for a Lario B. They still want to get that Lario 120 00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.240 B. Don't miss a moment all season longed. This is the LA Clippers 121 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:39.240 Audio Network. Another melt down by the Clippers. Not up twenty one, 122 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.879 but up fifteen in the third quarter, and they could not close the door 123 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.360 on the Bucks. They left it open and they kicked it in, waving 124 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.159 the four to four. Like Biggie in that fourth quarter, it was Bobby 125 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:54.320 Portis who had fourteen of his twenty eight points on the fourth. The Clippers 126 00:08:54.360 --> 00:09:01.840 gave up forty, They went small, they got dismantled. They lost the 127 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:07.399 fourth quarter forty to twenty five. Clippers lose one thirteen to one oh six 128 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:13.840 in Milwaukee to a Bucks team without Giannis Dennacumpo, without Chris Middleton. Dame 129 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.639 dropped forty one. Well. The Clippers got twenty nine from James Harden, 130 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.320 who was carrying them, had the first ten points of the fourth quarter. 131 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.639 Nobody else could do anything. Paul George missed three free throws in the fourth, 132 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.679 Kawhi misses one, James Harden misses one. Collectively, they miss five 133 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.200 in the fourth, nine total in the ballgame, and they let one get 134 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:39.279 away again second time in about the last week, after giving up a twenty 135 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:41.720 one point leading the fourth quarter to the Lakers. We're gonna talk about it 136 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.399 all coming up on Clippers Talk on m five seventy LA Sports eight six six 137 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.519 nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy 138 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.919 outside of Los Angeles, we are leaving you until Wednesday with the Clippers in 139 00:09:54.080 --> 00:10:00.960 Houston taking on the Rockets.

They were in attack mode. Adam Ousley, the Clippers 146 00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:35.080 just lost a ball game where they led by fifteen in the third quarter in 147 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:43.000 Milwaukee to a Bucks team without Jannison Denakoupo, without Chris Middleton. They lose 148 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:48.000 the fourth quarter forty to twenty five, as the Bucks shoot thirteen of twenty 149 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:52.320 one from the field to get to those forty points. The Clippers shoot seven 150 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.440 of twenty to get to just twenty five points, and they fall one thirteen 151 00:10:54.480 --> 00:11:01.559 to one oh six, and they collapse in meltdown down the stretch for the 152 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.080 second time in about a week after giving up a twenty one point lead to 153 00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:09.240 the Lakers. Welcome in a Clippers talk. I'm Ada Oslin to eight sixty 154 00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:13.360 six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety seven two five seventy 155 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.360 is the phone number, or you can get to me at follow Adam a 156 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:22.080 on X. I was tweeting it out as I always do, the game 157 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:26.559 thread. I followed him on Twitter on X whatever you want to call it, 158 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:31.840 and I said in the third quarter when it was about a ten point 159 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.799 game, Milwaukee's not going away. They're playing with great energy right now, 160 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:43.840 and they were not, and the Clippers paid for it again, giving up 161 00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:48.600 a lead to a team without their best player, without one of the best 162 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:54.759 players in the league, and Jannis Dinnakoumpo. We said pregame, it's almost 163 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:58.240 like a must win when all of a sudden you find out Giannis isn't playing, 164 00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:03.000 Middleton was already out, Giannis tried to warm up, Grimaced got an 165 00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:09.799 achilles injury, and that turns into an opportunity for the Clippers all of a 166 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:15.639 sudden to start off March three and zero start off his back to back rode 167 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.480 back to back one of the toughest of the season, two toe zero after 168 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:26.679 winning in Minnesota yesterday. I understand their retired legs. That plays a role 169 00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:28.759 when it looked like a team that ran out of gas, when it looked 170 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.919 like a team that didn't have their legs even at the charity stripe, missing 171 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:37.519 nine, five of them coming in the fourth quarter. But there just aren't 172 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:43.399 many excuses you can make when you're up big and you had a chance to 173 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:50.039 put them away, and they did, but they didn't. Free throws are 174 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:56.600 missed. They got a little bit three happy in the third quarter. It 175 00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:58.519 ran into the fourth quarter. We're outside of James Harden to start off a 176 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.159 period nobody else was scoring. I want to say he had their first ten 177 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:09.519 points of the fourth. He was carrying, but he missed a free throw. 178 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:15.679 Paul George missed two early in the fourth, missed another on a technical 179 00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:20.159 free throw after Bobby Portis got called for three seconds in the key and the 180 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:31.600 Clippers went small and just got carved up something fierce in Milwaukee. I'm looking 181 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:37.320 for answers post game from coach lou We'll have him, We'll have that audio 182 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:43.399 for you. But how do you just get dominated over and over again by 183 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.919 Bobby Portis, who's a good player, but he almost had his average over 184 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.320 the last ten games or so at I think about eighteen in the fourth quarter 185 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:58.120 alone. He had fourteen of his twenty eight points in the fourth Clippers had 186 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:05.159 no answer for him. Paul George was guarding him, Kawhi Lennard was guarding 187 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:11.559 him, armed straight up, and he was putting in hook shots and three 188 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:16.399 pointers. And the Clippers got outscored twenty three to ten in the last five 189 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:22.679 minutes. They have the best clutch rating in the league. It's gonna go 190 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.639 down after this, but coming into this game, the Clippers have had the 191 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:33.759 best clutch rating in the league. Between this and the Lakers game. Giving 192 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:39.559 up a twenty one point lead in the fourth quarter, that is tough to 193 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:46.039 believe at the moment that this team can close teams out. I know I'm 194 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:50.759 gonna get calls about a lack of killer instinct. Well they're warranted right now. 195 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:58.000 I know I'm gonna get calls on coach Lou going to what he's most 196 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:03.399 comfortable with, playing small late, even against a team that had Bobby Portis 197 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:09.919 and then Brook Lopez late too. It could be because of Itza. Zubats 198 00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:15.120 is still coming back and is on a minute's restriction after having that fever earlier. 199 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:18.519 This week he only played twenty four. Maybe his minutes restriction was a 200 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.840 twenty five. We'll see. Because he had eleven boards, he had four 201 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:28.360 offensive rebounds. I don't think Bobby Portis would have as easy of a time 202 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:37.919 kidding those little push shots, hook shots floaters over him. But what a 203 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:45.840 disastrous into this ballgame for the Clippers when it was right there for the taking, 204 00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:50.519 when they could have closed it out when they were up fifteen multiple times 205 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.399 in that third quarter, could not get the shot to put them over the 206 00:15:54.519 --> 00:16:03.919 top, couldn't knock down free else, couldn't go to any bread and butter 207 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:11.159 plays against the two three zone. Just looked like a team that was running 208 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:12.879 out of gas, was trying to park the bus. Is this hey in 209 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:18.000 football and hold on for a victory instead of playing to win. Still, 210 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:30.960 I mentioned James Harden scoring in the fourth quarter, but it still took almost 211 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:36.120 three minutes for him to get that first shot that those first points of the 212 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:41.200 fourth and nobody else was getting anything going. He had a nan one, 213 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:47.919 he had a three, a floater, there was another and one a quick 214 00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:57.039 ten, but Milwaukee was answering everything. The Clippers opened up the fourth with 215 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:03.640 an eight point lead, just to lose one thirteen, one oh six. 216 00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:12.720 Have they not seen his own before? Did they just empty the tank in 217 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:21.200 the third trying to put the Bucks away? Is it more difficult because they 218 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:25.880 were playing a physical team in a defensive battle yesterday against Minnesota. I don't 219 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:32.319 think anyone cares about those excuses tonight. I don't because of the second time 220 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:37.039 in about a week they've given up not just a double digit lead. It's 221 00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:38.519 one thing. You give up a fifteen point lead in the first quarter. 222 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:41.559 Look, yesterday of Minnesota was up sixteen on the Clippers. They come back, 223 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:48.279 but they were up sixteen with forty minutes left to play. The Clippers 224 00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:59.599 in the third quarter were up fifteen multiple times and had a chance to end 225 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.559 this thing. It was seventy nine to fifty six, was six twenty eight 226 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:08.680 left in the third quarter, after Paul George three pointer, who played much 227 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:12.519 better overall, who shot the ball much better overall, as did James Harden, 228 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:22.119 but all for not in a loss. Not sure how you can let 229 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:26.519 a game go like this one, when there's what twenty three games left in 230 00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:33.599 the regular season, when you're trying to be a top two seed. Still, 231 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:44.839 when Milwaukee is down Yannis, it's just unfathomable how how it's confounding. 232 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:49.039 But you know what, I think it started in that third quarter. I 233 00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:52.319 think that's where the game was lost. They could have got up by twenty. 234 00:18:53.759 --> 00:19:00.759 You're up fifteen, pushed that lead, they gave up a Bobby Pored 235 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:04.440 his layup with a minute and a half left in the third. Dam got 236 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:11.000 to the free throw line for a couple I mean a Malik Beasley three pointer, 237 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:18.680 and instead of having a double digit lead, at least at least be 238 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:23.920 up ten snay point lead. Did I mention Patrick Beverly's on the other side, 239 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:32.559 I believe he gave Milwaukee their first lead since the first quarter in that 240 00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:37.279 fourth with a bucket might have been a three. Do you not know what 241 00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.559 Patrick Beverly's about. He's been a part of some big comebacks before in a 242 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:49.000 Clippers Jersey. They weren't going to go away. You had to continue to 243 00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:59.039 score and get stops. Just a lot going wrong at once in that fourth 244 00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:03.920 quarter, and I'm looking for answers of why they stayed small, because it 245 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:10.960 clearly wasn't working against Bobby Portis, and it's just something we've seen too many 246 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:18.079 times in a situation where it seemed unnecessary. I understand you're trying to beat 247 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:25.240 the zone, have five shooters on the floor. Believe it was the Big 248 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:36.240 Three plus a Mere Coffee plus Norman Powell. But they got destroyed defensively. 249 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.240 Milwaukee was ready for it. That's the other kicker you lose to a Doc 250 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:52.559 Rivers team, Tyloo's mentor brutal. Clippers fall one thirteen to one oh six. 251 00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:57.079 Let's go to Jose and Downey. Jose, you're on Clippers style without 252 00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:03.559 of Maazlony the song I got disconnected. You took all the words from my 253 00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.519 mouth man, That's exactly everything I was about to say. I feel they 254 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:12.680 got too trigger happy from the three point line in the third quarter when there 255 00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:15.720 was there was probably tired legs, but you're right, there's not an excuse 256 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:21.160 in that little time that they did have Zubuck out there before they sucked them 257 00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:23.039 out. There's a lot of switching going on by the Bucks, and he 258 00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:29.920 would find himself under the basket with a smaller guy on him and uh Man 259 00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:34.799 I was tweeting. I was tweeting multiple times, Jose feet of Vitza zoo 260 00:21:34.839 --> 00:21:40.319 bots. The Bucks were going small. This was before even Bobby Portis was 261 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:45.880 back out there. They weren't even giving him opportunities. It. Yeah, 262 00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:49.279 it frustrates me to no end when the offense forgets about a Viza zoo bots 263 00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:53.160 and what a weapon he can be and they just, I don't know, 264 00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:56.480 they need a refresher course. I guess because before he went down with that 265 00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:00.960 calf injury, he and James Harden they were work in the pick and roll 266 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:04.160 to perfection. I kind of one of those today where he got an easy 267 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:08.319 one. I believe it was an oop from James Harden continue Jose. Yeah. 268 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:15.039 The other thing is there's times where Paul George shoots only in the teams. 269 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:17.559 You know, he only gets you team points, but then he's giving 270 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.960 giving you like maximum effort on the defensive side. I don't feel like I 271 00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:25.519 saw that from Kawhi when he was having his off night. You know, 272 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:29.519 sometimes you're gonna have the off night. He still ended up taking three more 273 00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:34.240 shots and I think than Paul George and uh and hardened. Uh. Sometimes 274 00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:38.079 I feel like I understand feed him because he could get you and get you 275 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:42.480 some points, but he was obviously struggling against his own and let's set up 276 00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:45.799 some place for somebody else. That's where I feel like Tyler got a little 277 00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:51.240 out coach. He wanted to be stubborn with the same play, which worked 278 00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:55.000 for worse for us many times, but just not this time, and we 279 00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:59.160 had to go away from it. But we didn't. A quick question for 280 00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:00.599 you, and I'll leave you with this. I've been meaning to ask you. 281 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:07.920 I feel like we need another stretch four and I've been meaning these. 282 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:11.960 The trade deadline has passed. If you bring in a guy now, they're 283 00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:15.599 not playoff eligible, there's your answer. I'm sorry, man, but you're 284 00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:19.640 a little late. Well, they could add somebody who hasn't had a contract, 285 00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:23.440 like to Michael Green. Don't think he would help. He's not gonna 286 00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:29.519 be available for the playoffs. Sign a guy now you're not playoff eligible? 287 00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:34.240 Yeah, I know, I'm sorry, man, but can we at least 288 00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:38.799 talk about things that are possible, like making adjustments with the guys that are 289 00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:42.960 on the roster. Let's take a quick time out. Clippers blow a fifteen 290 00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:48.799 point lead in Milwaukee. No Yiannis, no Chris Middleton, Dame has forty 291 00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:52.759 one. Bobby Portis drops fourteen in the fourth. Clippers will lose one thirteen 292 00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.720 to one oh six. More Clippers dock next year on a M five to 293 00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:03.079 seven E LA Sports every Clipper game all season, law they didn't stop playing 294 00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:10.400 hard. You're listening to the LA Clippers Audio Network streaming on the iHeartRadio WAPP 295 00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:15.559 Clippers let one go again, oh fifteen. They lose one thirteen to one 296 00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:19.079 oh six in Milwaukee to the Bucks, who didn't have the Greek freak. 297 00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:23.400 Welcome back. In a Clipper stock, I'm at a mouslin to eight six 298 00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:27.160 six nine eight seven two five seventy. Okay, I'm gonna put out a 299 00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:33.240 rule. Can we talk about things that actually can change postgame? Talking about 300 00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:38.559 roster moves past the trade deadline doesn't work for me when a guy that you 301 00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:45.279 bring in isn't gonna be even playoff eligible. Let's just talk about this game 302 00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:49.079 maybe in what could have been done better, how they could have optimized lineups. 303 00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:52.519 All I'm asking John is Santa Clarita. You're on Clipper stock for that. 304 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:59.359 Amusin, thanks for having me on, Adam, I totally agree with 305 00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:03.359 everything you're sa and I was following what you're tweeting and what Joey Lynn was 306 00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:07.279 tweeting. How you can see it coming. James Harden carried the team, 307 00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.559 but he started to miss a lot of three years later in the game and 308 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:15.880 it was kind of hard to watch. But you know, I think they 309 00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.359 did run out of gas and not that this can be something you can change 310 00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:25.440 even today or this season, but the league's been willing to change the way 311 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:29.839 that teams operate around back to backs and forcing stars to play a little bit 312 00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:33.279 more minutes in a back to back situation. Do you think they could like 313 00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:36.640 I don't know, do you think they could shave some of the preseason off 314 00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:40.599 and maybe get rid of some of those back to back nular. I'd like 315 00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:45.880 to talk about things from this game that could be different, not rule changes, 316 00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:49.359 not things have to be negotiated in the CBA the next time it's up, 317 00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:52.559 Like, what are we doing? Man? Help me out? What 318 00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:57.319 would you have liked to see down the stretch outside of Clippers win. Yeah, 319 00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:02.440 I would have liked to see Kawhi make some more shots, Like he 320 00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:06.119 said, play a little bit bigger and hopefully Zoobosh can play more minutes in 321 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:08.039 future games. You know, coming up on Wednesday, we're gonna need him 322 00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:11.599 against a pretty good Houston team. All right, thank you for the phone 323 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:15.799 call, John, appreciate it. Uh, let's go to I'm really rolling 324 00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:19.960 the dice Harold and North Hollywood. Harold, what's up? You're on clipperstock 325 00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:23.799 glutton for punishment? You know, you know, Adam, I might not 326 00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:27.440 taco you know, call, but I do listen to the show. I 327 00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:33.400 know you do, Harold, and you know, look at winning and losing. 328 00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:36.799 I mean the Clippers as long as I remember, I know they must 329 00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:41.000 have broken the hearts of the fans so many, so many times. Put 330 00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.279 the bottom line, who's going to be Denver in the West anyway? The 331 00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:48.559 Nuggets are going to be there, And that's the question. This is all 332 00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.640 just Harold, Harold. Are they going to be the first team to go 333 00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:55.759 back to back since the Golden State Warriors did it in twenty seventeen, twenty 334 00:26:55.799 --> 00:27:00.240 eighteen? I think so. It doesn't happen that often. I think they 335 00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:04.599 are beatable. I think they are beatable. You gotta be great, you 336 00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:08.200 gotta execute. They'll kill you down the stretch if you don't ask the Lakers. 337 00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:15.359 But they're beatable Clippers, capable of beating the Denver Nuggets. Yes, 338 00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.759 they just beat them the last time they played. Both teams were full strength, 339 00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:22.039 and Zoobots and Kawhi Leonard are the only two guys I've ever seen wreck 340 00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:26.160 their pick and roll with Jokich and Jamal Murray. I'm not saying it's gonna 341 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.119 happen every time, but they have a shot against them, no doubt. 342 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.440 Okay, no, Hey, you know, do you think so? And 343 00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:37.119 that's okay? And I think they have a shot too. But hey, 344 00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.279 the Clippers could lose to the Thunder. They could lose to the Minnesota Timberwolves 345 00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:48.200 before they even get a shot at taking on the Denver Nuggets and the ratings 346 00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:49.599 champs. They got to play much better in this. They could lose in 347 00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:53.640 the first round. They're gonna give up leads like this. They could lose 348 00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:57.839 to Phoenix. They could lose to the Pelicans. Their first round opponent could 349 00:27:57.880 --> 00:28:03.440 be very difficult. I think we got Johnny and Wither here, Johnny, 350 00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:07.759 what's up here? On Clipper stop? Let him on? Hey, it's 351 00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:10.839 about them. I mean, like the biggest issue was we we lost to 352 00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:15.440 Bobby Porter's junior at the end of the you know, a great game all 353 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:18.480 that, there's no reason why he should be hitting those shots, hitting those 354 00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.839 threes that he did. And I'm so tired of Pat V killing us whenever 355 00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:23.880 he sees us. But at the end of the day, you know what, 356 00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:27.000 inact, we're tired, we're sagarentesward the end of the fourth quarter. 357 00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:32.160 Bobby Porter's put us. He cooked us at the end of the day. 358 00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:33.319 But hey, you know what, it's the back to back. I know 359 00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.599 it was the early game on Sunday, but there's no excuse. You know, 360 00:28:37.720 --> 00:28:41.519 Clippers are going for the win. Clippers are gonna win it this year. 361 00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:44.599 I guarantee it. I'm calling this out right now. Clippers are gonna 362 00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:47.720 win it. I guarantee it. But there's no way Bobby Porter should be 363 00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:49.119 getting those shots off at the end of the game. You know, I 364 00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:52.000 don't know what you think about that. It's the other sometimes to beat you. 365 00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:57.440 And Bobby Portis went five for seven first fourteen points in the fourth quarter, 366 00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:00.240 and the Clippers just had no answer. They didn't adjust, they didn't 367 00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:04.640 try anything else. I was just beating your head against the wall, brutal 368 00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:10.039 mentioning the jerzy Mitch, what's up you're on Clippers soft with that A Mawson 369 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:15.319 I'm doing? What about not playing small in the fourth quarter? See more 370 00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:19.559 plumbing. He's pretty athletic. I gotta help out with with our main scores 371 00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:25.880 and with the unfortunate injury with Westbrook. I'm holding to see more of youth. 372 00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:27.400 You knew that, you knew that line was coming, you know, 373 00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:33.000 Boston Kobe joined him. I want I want to see the young plays too. 374 00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:37.720 Rest of the stars we had this game. I notice it is a 375 00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:41.480 very good bench player. He's really started in his career well, and and 376 00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:47.720 he's great in big moments. Did I mention he also had sixteen rebounds. 377 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:52.559 He's their heart and soul guy. He's their Draymond at times. He's a 378 00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:56.680 champion, made big plays for them when they won it all in twenty twenty 379 00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:03.000 one. You just got to find a way to turn the gas off a 380 00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:07.279 little bit, shut the water off, do something. We saw Lebron James 381 00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:11.559 go off in the fourth quarter, ends up burning the Clippers house. Poppy 382 00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:18.920 Portis. It's just unbelievable right now, the way they've let some games slip 383 00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:23.200 when they really are in a position. Let it happen against teams that they 384 00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:30.279 should have beaten up twenty one up fifteen tonight, Morris and long beach Morris, 385 00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:33.480 what's up here on clipperstock? Give me some more. Let me take 386 00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:36.359 that man, Adam. Let me tell you what happened to the Clippers tonight. 387 00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:41.960 Happens to everybody in the National Basketball Association. Ain't nobody going eighty two 388 00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:48.480 or zero, Adam Morris, No one's asking for no one's asking for eighty 389 00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.359 two. And oh look, look, this is the National Basketball Association, 390 00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:56.480 the best athletes in the world. You didn't say nothing about Damian literally getting 391 00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:00.200 forty one points, and then you got Porters getting twenty. Yeah, my 392 00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.440 good. I don't know I wanted that sixty nine points. These brothers got 393 00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:06.400 off. They got off. And we've had guys on our team, We've 394 00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:08.359 had guys tonight. I remember there was I was listening to my boy talking. 395 00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:11.880 There was a moment when the only ones with the Trippers that could score 396 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.319 was Paul George and Harden. Well, the other night they didn't do anything, 397 00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.200 although I did harton getting ten assists on one turnover. You know, 398 00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.599 so from game to game things change in the National Basketball Association. But I'm 399 00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.000 not hanging my head down. Porters is a good player. Porterses did me 400 00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:30.519 right what Draymond Green is to the Golden State Warriors. So you know, 401 00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:36.480 we lost on the road in Milwaukee. Milwaukee championship caliber team NBA. I 402 00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:38.319 know Porters is the third and fourth options. Let me tell you some of 403 00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:41.839 the morris. Milwaukee's not winning the championship without Johnston and a Koumpo and Chris 404 00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:47.480 Middleton, two guys they didn't have tonight. Yeah, they have some pedigree 405 00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:49.440 there. They still have Damian Lillard. You could live with his forty one. 406 00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:53.519 You can't live with Bobby Fortis having twenty eight and fourteen in the fourth 407 00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:59.000 quarter. They just continue to go to him over and over again. Nothing 408 00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:02.319 changed. That's what's frustrating about this loss. I think for Clipper Nation, 409 00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:06.119 we'll take a quick time out. Well come back. You're gonna hear from 410 00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:12.000 coach lou postgame. Clippers lose one thirteen to one oh six. Yeah, 411 00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:16.640 you can see it coming. Milwaukee got hot in the fourth, they played 412 00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:22.960 with great spirit, Go wiet and off night six of nineteen, just sixteen 413 00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:30.680 points nobody could stop the run. It was the stupid Austin Powers steamroller coming 414 00:32:30.759 --> 00:32:36.279 at you and you just couldn't stop it. Clippers give up a fifteen point 415 00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:38.839 lead, they lose in Milwaukee won thirteen to one oh six. More Clipper 416 00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:44.680 Stock next year on the M five seventy LA Sports, Clippers lose in Milwaukee 417 00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:49.160 won thirteen to one oh six. Welcome back in the Clipper Stock. I'm 418 00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:52.599 out of Moslin. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the 419 00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:57.440 phone number. Please call and bring some positivity, but also, I don't 420 00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:05.000 know, be somewhat of a realist. Please, San Milwaukee is the championship 421 00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:07.960 team, Yeah they are. They also didn't have the guy that makes them 422 00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:12.680 a championship team tonight and Giannistin Dinakubo and the Clippers blew a fifteen point lead 423 00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:19.039 and they went small late and they got destroyed by Bobby Portis. Listen to 424 00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:23.440 this from Lom Murray of the Athletic Clippers were outscored by thirteen points after going 425 00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:29.480 small at the eight oh two mark of the fourth Bobby Portis scored eleven of 426 00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:35.559 his fourteen points in the fourth quarter against Hardin Powell, George Leonard Coffee in 427 00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:44.119 that lineup. Let's go to Rose in Los Angeles prose what's up here on 428 00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:49.079 Clippers stock with that in Austin East Vale. I'm sorry, that's okay. 429 00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:52.240 It's a new city. Not a lot of people know about it. How 430 00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:55.079 you doing man here? You know, it's a tough loss for the Clippers 431 00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:59.279 after blowing twenty one point lead to the Lakers, and then you see this 432 00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:02.559 happened in a game against Milwaukee where they're down to of their best players. 433 00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:07.599 They're definitely down their best player. Probably shouldn't happen when you're up by fifteen, 434 00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:12.079 but it did tonight. It did what you said to bring some positivity 435 00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:14.239 and I like to do that to basically, you know, I love my 436 00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:17.880 Clippers. Give it to me and you know, yeah, people don't realize 437 00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:22.880 maybe it hasn't been talked about too much tonight with Clippers did play a tough 438 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:27.280 Minnesota team last night and won barely by one. I don't know if anybody 439 00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:30.960 watched that action. It was back and forth. As a great game that 440 00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:34.360 takes a lot out of a team, and it is Minnesota. That's one 441 00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:37.880 point. Then you have to play Milwaukee, who is way up there in 442 00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:45.599 the rankings too. So without here's the positivity. I'm really happy going into 443 00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:49.519 that third quarter looking like the Clippers, and I think everybody was, including 444 00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:52.280 yourself. The thing I'd like to just kind of focus on is that, 445 00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:55.440 and we didn't have Russell Westbot, so we did run out of gas. 446 00:34:55.639 --> 00:35:00.119 We did have a tough game last night against Minnesota, and just your thoughts 447 00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:04.000 about that. Yeah, I brought that up earlier. I appreciate the phone 448 00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:07.519 call Rose that could account for why they ran out of gas. Defensive slugfest 449 00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:12.239 yesterday in Minnesota against what was the best team in the West. The Clippers 450 00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:15.119 dropped them down to the two seed after Okay, see one in Phoenix. 451 00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:20.480 Look, I think there's something to that. There's also something too. They 452 00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:22.360 don't have you, honest, they don't have Chris Middleton. You're up fifteen, 453 00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:29.320 close out the game, step on their throats, drop a couple of 454 00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:35.239 daggers. They get it up from fifteen to twenty twenty five games over. 455 00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:38.440 I couldn't do it tonight. Keith and Los Angeles, you're on Clipper stock 456 00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:43.960 without amuesm. What's up? Keith? Ah, I bless you man. 457 00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:46.079 I'm calling to give you some some positivity. My brother, give it to 458 00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:51.239 me, Keith, give it to me. No. At the same time, 459 00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:52.960 like you said, we got to be realistic. This was and it's 460 00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:55.840 funny. I heard the exasperation in your voice as soon as the game man 461 00:35:55.920 --> 00:36:00.599 as they blessed my brother's hard But it was whip the puff law. We've 462 00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:04.400 been on the road a lot, my brother, Adam, We've been on 463 00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:06.639 the road a block. Man. You know what I'm saying. That's the 464 00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:08.559 realism, you know, like you said, everything you said is always just 465 00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:15.000 on the money. However, here's the positivity. And Adam Scott me if 466 00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:17.840 I begin to watch too poetic. But again, remember why I had to 467 00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:22.559 say what I said when I first met you. After forty years of following 468 00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:27.440 the Clippers, I'm addressing you and Clipper Nation. Is this not the unit 469 00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:30.480 that could go all the way. I'm not saying it's not gonna be easier 470 00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:36.320 or of course not, but considering all things, like you said, there's 471 00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:38.840 been some times, man, we handled another where you don't easily handle other 472 00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:40.440 teams, or this, that and the other. You know what I'm saying. 473 00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:44.760 So I and let me just say also, and then I'll kind of 474 00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:47.119 land my plane, so to speak. This is also where we again, 475 00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:52.440 after forty years of watching these guys, this is where we tend to falter 476 00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:57.679 right after the All Star break when we begin to these first and second rounds. 477 00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:00.599 But again, man have to watch to Blake Griffin, Chris Paul, 478 00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:06.639 Aaron Art, that whole Live City. I'm saying this unit here is the 479 00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:10.599 best one yet. Am I right or wrong? Brother Adam, I yield 480 00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:14.880 the MinC You're correct, You're correct about that. I appreciate you giving me 481 00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:19.400 the floorback. This Clippers team is the most talented team in franchise history. 482 00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:22.440 They have had a run during this regular season that is unmatched, not just 483 00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:28.039 by the record or at one point they were twenty six and five and a 484 00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:30.760 thirty one game stretch, but the level of dominance they showed, the big 485 00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:35.400 wins they had. I mentioned the one against the Denver Nuggets. They's had 486 00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:42.199 a huge one yesterday against Minnesota. They were healthy. So you're not wrong, 487 00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:45.280 Keith. But there's twenty two games left, and you want to build 488 00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:51.719 good habits in these finals. Twenty two games tonight the game against the Lakers. 489 00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:57.800 I hope we're not seeing a pattern here of a team letting up and 490 00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:02.920 letting go when they're up big. That is my concern. We got Michael 491 00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:07.239 in l A. Michael, you're on clipper stoft with that, amst Hey, 492 00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:17.719 Adam. Two things First, you know this laws was frustrating. Ladders 493 00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:22.239 reminded me of you know, last year. I guess it was a game, 494 00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:24.719 right, I guess right after the All Star break when they lost to 495 00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:28.440 Milwaukee, and that was when Paul George said they had to go out and 496 00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:35.599 get Russell Westbrook. And you know, Paul George was locked up by then. 497 00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:42.320 Drew Holidays obviously on the team anymore. But you know, the idea 498 00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:45.599 was that they needed, you know, they needed a point guard to unlocked 499 00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:47.679 two and three. And that's right, but just you know, still getting 500 00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:53.360 that point garden, they're not being able to execute and close down the stretch 501 00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:59.760 is bothering and bothers with me and makes me wonder whether this you know this 502 00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:02.360 just you know, being honest. Well, look, let me say let 503 00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:07.599 me say this, Michael, let me say this. They scored twenty five 504 00:39:07.639 --> 00:39:10.280 points in the fourth quarter. That's not terrible. The problem is they gave 505 00:39:10.400 --> 00:39:17.000 up forty. That's what can happen. They got carved up defensively when they 506 00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:22.559 went small. So to me, that's the difference of the ball game. 507 00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:24.840 I agree with you. They have the right guy now in James Harden. 508 00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:30.000 They still left points out there. I believe there were seven of twenty from 509 00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:32.880 the field in the fourth quarter. Let's hear from coach Lou. Here's what 510 00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:37.440 the hell I say. Let's hear from somebody who knows, who has forgotten 511 00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:39.880 more basketball than I'll ever know. Here was coach Lou post game after the 512 00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:44.639 Clippers let go and blew a fifteen point lead in the third in Milwaukee. 513 00:39:44.719 --> 00:39:46.599 They lose one thirteen to one oh six. Struggle shooting in basketball. They 514 00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:51.960 got in a penalty early and Dame got aggressive, you know, dropping the 515 00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:54.800 ball to the to the basket and got them back in the game at the 516 00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:59.360 third quarter when they got into the bonus, you know, and so when 517 00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:01.000 they went to this, you know, we got a little jump shot happy 518 00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:05.079 instead of keep attacking the basket, getting to the paint. And I think 519 00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:07.719 we were in the bonus pretty early in that fourth quarter, and we just 520 00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:09.800 you know, they did a good job of going to the zone and then 521 00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:15.719 we didn't handle it well. Would just be considered this Laten Saters a bad 522 00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:19.599 loss considering you're trying to up in the West. They don't. They're all 523 00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:22.000 bad losses, you know, however you look at it, you know, 524 00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:23.719 but you know, coming off a back to back, you know, whether 525 00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:25.719 John's play or not, we knew it's gonna be a tough game, and 526 00:40:27.159 --> 00:40:30.800 Dame came out to the tone early for this team. I thought Pat Beav's 527 00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:34.239 defensive you know, trying to get on the guy's skin, infected us early. 528 00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:37.159 But then we you know, kind of you know, gained the lead 529 00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:38.920 and you know, like that third quarter got into the bonus and they really 530 00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:42.760 got to the free throw line a lot. Yeah, and the Clippers were 531 00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:45.639 in the bonus early on the fourth quarter. I thought they would exploit that 532 00:40:46.360 --> 00:40:49.960 they could have lived at the charity stripe. Of course you actually have to 533 00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:53.159 make them, and they missed five free throws in the fourth quarter. Coachley 534 00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:57.239 was also asked about, you know, the fatigue factor, so it may 535 00:40:57.280 --> 00:41:00.639 have played a role with that missing devil free throws. Guys may have not 536 00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:05.440 had their legs. As for going small, this has come from Lombary of 537 00:41:05.480 --> 00:41:12.480 the athletic coach. Lufellow would be better rotating to shooters without Zoo, so 538 00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:19.599 there's logic to that. Instead, it was more of an inside outside attack 539 00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:23.800 from Milwaukee Bucks. They took advantage of the Clippers going small. Coming up 540 00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:28.079 next, well, Chuck maclaarn it's a loss, so he comes on during 541 00:41:28.119 --> 00:41:31.079 those will Updyke during victories, Clippers were up by fifteen. They lose one 542 00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:35.519 thirteen to one oh six in Milwaukee to the Bucks without Jansonna Koopo and Chris 543 00:41:35.559 --> 00:41:40.559 Middleton. You're listening to clipperstock here on a five seventy LA Sports every Clipper 544 00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:45.760 game all season, law they didn't stop playing hard. You're listening to the 545 00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:52.519 LA Clippers Audio Network streaming on the iHeartRadio app. Clippers lose in Milwaukee, 546 00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:55.159 won thirteen to one oh six. They had a fifteen point lead in the 547 00:41:55.239 --> 00:42:00.719 third, they had a thirteen point lead, It was just forty seconds left 548 00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:04.840 in that third quarter. Ends up being just an eight point lead hanging into 549 00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:08.079 the fourth. They miss free throws, they missed shots. The Bucks got 550 00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:13.519 whatever they wanted on the other end as the Clippers went small, and somehow, 551 00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:17.000 some way they let go of what looked to be a two to zero 552 00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:23.159 start to this big time road trip in March. Welcome into Clipperstock. I'm 553 00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:27.440 out a Moslin. Speaking of March, we got a little clips in double 554 00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:31.760 Dip for you with Chuck Mackler, the proprietor of March Madness, the Clippers 555 00:42:31.880 --> 00:42:38.239 version of it. Chuck, where was this game lost? I mean, 556 00:42:38.920 --> 00:42:43.840 there's a couple of things that kind of point to with this one. Do 557 00:42:44.119 --> 00:42:49.280 we can talk about the free throws? The Clippers on the second night of 558 00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:52.760 a back to back had nine minutes of bonus time, which is something that 559 00:42:52.880 --> 00:42:57.480 I'm fairly sure has never happened before for the Clippers. But that's something you 560 00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:00.960 can't throw away. Second nide of a back to back, right that that 561 00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:07.360 really got me just settling for shots, just jacking up shots that were short. 562 00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:09.559 You saw that, you saw the fatigue. Sure it was the second 563 00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:12.960 nid of a back to back. I don't really care. If the other 564 00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:15.960 team is missing two of their best three players, one of them being their 565 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:22.559 their best player, I guess I gotta go with just it was lost by 566 00:43:23.719 --> 00:43:28.320 poor decision making in the fourth quarter, is what it seems. How much 567 00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:31.440 do you put on coach lou in that small ball lineup that was inept again? 568 00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:37.159 To Bobby port it's a lot. I put a lot. I don't 569 00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:39.199 know if I haven't been a coach who apologist or anything. I think he's 570 00:43:39.239 --> 00:43:42.840 a phenomenal coach. I love coach Lou no doubt. I don't really know 571 00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:46.920 who would coach the Clippers better. But right now we're seeing some small ball 572 00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:52.800 situations that are losing the Clippers games. Right we swim. I think he 573 00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:55.519 had to play PJ Tucker for those couple of games just to show everyone else 574 00:43:55.599 --> 00:44:02.320 on the team that this isn't it. But I think tonight like it just 575 00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:06.760 wasn't working. We were watching it not work right. We were all watching 576 00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:12.039 Mommy Portos do his thing against the small ball lineup, and they were fouling 577 00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:15.639 like crazy. With that small ball lineup. Sometimes the hands in the passing 578 00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:20.760 lanes work, but they were not there tonight. It was just it was 579 00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:23.000 tough. It was a tough on a mere and norm we're pretty brutal in 580 00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:27.679 this one. Obviously it's not along them, but they didn't get a lot 581 00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:30.360 from the bench, and it just it was Yeah, I put a fair 582 00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:35.360 amount on Tyler. I mean they were fouling like crazy basically in the second 583 00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:39.280 half the Milwaukee Bucks had fourteen free throws attempted in that third quarter alone. 584 00:44:39.880 --> 00:44:45.199 But then to just compound the pain here, the Clippers got into the bonus 585 00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:49.679 early in the fourth quarter, and they didn't take advantage of it because even 586 00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:52.199 when they got to the free throw line, even when they could have exploited 587 00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:57.159 that over and over again and ended this game cleanly, they missed five free 588 00:44:57.239 --> 00:45:00.159 throws in the fourth quarter. Paul George missed three, of Harden with one, 589 00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:07.599 even Kawhi Leonard missed one. It's just inexcusable. I get tired legs, 590 00:45:07.639 --> 00:45:13.559 but three free throws missed by a ninety free throw shooter in Paul George. 591 00:45:13.679 --> 00:45:17.000 It's just there's no way to rationalize that. Yeah, there was some 592 00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:21.039 bad luck in this game. That is also partly how you lose this game. 593 00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:25.079 You know, we can't pretend that some anomaies didn't happen. Paul George 594 00:45:25.159 --> 00:45:29.760 was frustrating the night, but I think some of the some of the fans 595 00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:31.559 are maybe on the second night of a back to back when it comes to 596 00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:36.599 fatigue as well, and we're upset to watch them, you know, kind 597 00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:40.039 of throw it away post figuratively and literally. In the fourth but we all 598 00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:43.760 wanted to split on this back to back. They won the conference game. 599 00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:47.320 I'm not trying to sugarcoat it. This is the second time in five days 600 00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:52.360 we've had to watch this team completely. I can't say what I want to 601 00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:55.159 say or really on the radio, but they did it to themselves. If 602 00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:58.880 you can connect the dots from there, we've seen that two times in five 603 00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:01.960 days. They were thirty one in one or something like that when when leading 604 00:46:02.119 --> 00:46:07.199 so in the fourth quarter, it just it is gross basketball. It favored 605 00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:12.840 the Bucks. Yeah, I think we're gonna get more of the same. 606 00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:16.760 Maybe you know from tylu pregame on Wednesday, Gainst the Rockets is staying mentally 607 00:46:16.840 --> 00:46:20.559 focused because that I mean, he's not wrong about that, right, Like 608 00:46:20.679 --> 00:46:22.280 that's that's where we've been losing things. Is kind of the mental game. 609 00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:25.679 We've seen these mistakes. So they got to clean it up. And if 610 00:46:25.760 --> 00:46:29.360 you really want a positive spit on it. They have a lot of chances 611 00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:32.760 to clean it up in March. They do. They still have what are 612 00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:37.639 we looking at fourteen more games here in March. They're two to one so 613 00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:42.039 far during March Madness, seventeen games and thirty one days for the Clippers. 614 00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:50.400 This was just I mean, the situation begged for a victory. Without Yannis 615 00:46:50.440 --> 00:46:55.760 adenik Koopo and Chris Middleton, everything was lining up. The Clippers only were 616 00:46:55.840 --> 00:47:01.239 missing Russell Westbrook in this game after yes a one in Minnesota that they pulled 617 00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:06.320 off by one. So you just want to get greedy this time of the 618 00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:10.639 year. Is I think where I fall. It's just a missed opportunity where 619 00:47:10.639 --> 00:47:15.559 the Clippers could have gotten back into competing for maybe even a top two seed, 620 00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:19.119 which is gonna be very difficult to do considering they have the toughest schedule 621 00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:22.239 the three teams above them in the Western Conference Right now, I guess you 622 00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:25.360 could say they shot the basketball better than they did yesterday. Paul George and 623 00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:30.559 James Harden responded in that area. For the most part. PG had a 624 00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:35.400 couple of inconsequential threes late that were meaningless after somehow they were down by ten 625 00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:38.719 after going into the quarter up by eight. But you know, I'm just 626 00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:43.320 wondering, are there any other guys you would have played late that could have 627 00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:46.320 had fresher legs out there? Did coach lou just have his hand tied? 628 00:47:47.960 --> 00:47:52.000 I think he kind of has his hand tide, right. You know, 629 00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:54.880 you look at the norm minutes and Bones only got ten in this one. 630 00:47:55.679 --> 00:47:59.239 It's tough to play Bones against his Bucks team. I thought he made a 631 00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:04.320 couple good plays, but he's still getting back to actual meaningful basketball, you 632 00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:07.519 know, physically and all that stuff. Maybe Mason, I guess you maybe 633 00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:10.559 try and do Mason there, But but Tyson was playing well, right, 634 00:48:10.760 --> 00:48:19.159 like right, very true. But you look, you know, Brandon Boston 635 00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:22.199 Jr. Is not doing anything against that Bucks team. I love Xavier Moon, 636 00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:25.199 but he's not doing anything. And we know, we know what the 637 00:48:25.320 --> 00:48:30.119 PJ. Tucker would not shoot. So I think part of it is uh 638 00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:35.280 tie, his hand being tied by just some lack of other options at the 639 00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:37.440 big four position. I'm not trying to say that if they would have had 640 00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:40.760 auto porters, they would have won this game. But these are the problems 641 00:48:40.760 --> 00:48:45.480 you're gonna run into, and sometimes it is just as simple as needing your 642 00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:50.280 guys to be better than the other guys. We we almost had it tonight, 643 00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:54.159 right, Our big three was pretty solid, but Kawhi couldn't quite you 644 00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:59.519 know, get the percentages we wanted from the floor. But we we shouldn't 645 00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:04.760 need all three guys to be on it against the team again playing a zone 646 00:49:04.800 --> 00:49:07.719 without their two best defenders. Do you have any big picture concerns about this 647 00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:12.880 team in the clutch, because clutch rating wise, they were the best in 648 00:49:12.960 --> 00:49:16.480 the league entering this game. I think when it came to net rating, 649 00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:22.239 it looks like they're falling down to sixth now after this ballgame. Maybe if 650 00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:25.079 I just go from December first on. But are you seeing a pattern here 651 00:49:25.840 --> 00:49:29.880 that is more concerning? Considering as you mentioned, the Lakers game was just 652 00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:35.639 five days ago. I think I'm gonna give it maybe another week or so 653 00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:39.360 before I fully hit the panic button. It is after the break. It's 654 00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:43.760 an old team. It's gonna take some motion to get them in motion, 655 00:49:44.079 --> 00:49:47.639 if that makes sense. So talk to me in two more blown leads in 656 00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:54.559 the fourth quarter. I don't want to second bleep. I hope that doesn't 657 00:49:54.639 --> 00:50:01.039 happen. But not fully there yet. We still have to see how the 658 00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:07.000 kind of de facto backup point guard bones Island's gonna look. So not a 659 00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:08.519 big picture, but I would say a medium picture right now. It's definitely 660 00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:12.199 in the back of my mind. The burner is warm, I would say, 661 00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:15.679 yeah, and I thought Bones had some good moments in his eleven minutes 662 00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:20.119 knockdown a three pointer after he had missed fifteen straight this season, got off 663 00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:24.239 the snide. There also that ridiculous Okie Dokee wraparound pass to Daniel Tyee second 664 00:50:24.280 --> 00:50:29.639 wrap around pass to Tye in the last couple of games. Maybe they're developing 665 00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:34.840 some chemistry. However, the skeleton key is not enough to comfort me after 666 00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:38.000 this lost by the Clippers. They lose one to thirteen to one oh six 667 00:50:38.119 --> 00:50:43.199 in Milwaukee to the Bucks. But they'll get back after it on Wednesday in 668 00:50:43.320 --> 00:50:45.199 Houston. And hey, this team for the most part this season. What 669 00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:51.159 they've lost back to back games twice the last two or three months or something 670 00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:53.519 like that, Chuck, so expect a big response, and they do have 671 00:50:53.559 --> 00:50:57.719 a day off tomorrow, no long after play three games in a row like 672 00:50:57.800 --> 00:51:01.519 the ninety nine lockout. Chuck, thanks for coming on a little clips in 673 00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:05.199 double dip here on Clipperstock, my friend. We'll talk to you on the 674 00:51:05.199 --> 00:51:09.400 YouTube tomorrow. Oh, thanks for having me, Chuck. Let's get out. 675 00:51:09.519 --> 00:51:13.360 Let's get out that second keyword. We don't have to give out the 676 00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:15.280 first one again. That's for people to go back and find if they didn't 677 00:51:15.320 --> 00:51:21.119 hear it the first time. But the second keyword to win that Russell Westbrook 678 00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:27.280 bobblehead chuck the floor is yours give it out. Frustration. We're gonna go 679 00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:30.400 with frustration for this for the second keyword you're asking me on this night, 680 00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:34.800 of all night, so we have to go with frustration. Fair enough, 681 00:51:34.880 --> 00:51:37.039 it's appropriate. All right, Charles, we'll talk to you tomorrow, my 682 00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:42.400 friend. Sounds good Talkola, Adam. Let's go clips before we get to 683 00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:46.320 Zachiocalady and get out of here. Let's hear from Jose in Southgate. One 684 00:51:46.440 --> 00:51:50.679 last tidbit of positivity. I know we can get it from Jose. Jose, 685 00:51:50.840 --> 00:51:55.760 what's up? Well? I was singing this phone so off for I 686 00:51:55.840 --> 00:52:02.239 guess this game because it was two games before the Laker game, or at 687 00:52:02.320 --> 00:52:06.480 least three losses before the Laker game, where we were up in the fourth 688 00:52:06.559 --> 00:52:08.800 quarter and we just lost it. So I tried to hold it to you 689 00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:14.119 know what. It was the Lebron and Lebron things. We bounce back with 690 00:52:14.440 --> 00:52:17.800 the Kings and then we made a nice and gritty with the Wolves. But 691 00:52:17.960 --> 00:52:21.280 here we go again at him. And that's why I like you because you're 692 00:52:21.320 --> 00:52:23.239 not holding it back. You're saying the truth. And that's why it's like, 693 00:52:23.320 --> 00:52:27.360 okay, are we are? We just waiting for the playoffs. That's 694 00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:30.199 probably what the old team is going to do. You know Paul George on 695 00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:32.639 the podcast, he's talking about you want to be in that three or four 696 00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:37.719 spot. All right, we get it. So I'm still holding onto that 697 00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:39.840 optimistic like, all right, we listened to get in the playoff boys. 698 00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:44.880 And one good thing is, you know yesterday we were we were on the 699 00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:45.960 short time. I want to want to that my son called off, but 700 00:52:46.119 --> 00:52:51.559 I did want to say besides the mere coffee taking on that Westbrook road which 701 00:52:51.679 --> 00:52:54.039 goes Highlands. Today he showed a little bit of highlighted a little nice big 702 00:52:54.159 --> 00:52:58.960 too. I don't know, nice pass too. I'm tice. But one 703 00:52:59.039 --> 00:53:05.280 thing I did like, rap it up b come on finding his shot, 704 00:53:05.400 --> 00:53:07.760 finding a shot game aggressive because I thought he was getting too old, but 705 00:53:07.840 --> 00:53:08.760 no, he still has this. So that lets me show that we are 706 00:53:08.840 --> 00:53:15.599 waiting for the playoffs and let's go Clipper all right, all right, that's 707 00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:20.119 what I want to hear. I like that Clippers still in the fourth spot 708 00:53:20.760 --> 00:53:22.559 in the West three and a half games up in the New Orleans Pelicans behind 709 00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:25.039 them in the five spot. Before we get out of here, we got 710 00:53:25.159 --> 00:53:30.400 Zacho call Toy our producer tonight doing a lot of work. Zach, fantastic 711 00:53:30.519 --> 00:53:32.239 job. As always. Let's play a little one in one. You asked 712 00:53:32.280 --> 00:53:36.400 me a question, I gotta throw one back at you. Okay, uh, 713 00:53:36.920 --> 00:53:38.239 First off, thank you for having me on. You got one question. 714 00:53:38.599 --> 00:53:44.159 One question. I saw a lot of the Bucks jerseys in the front 715 00:53:44.239 --> 00:53:46.599 row tonight and they were the retro ones the nineties. I just want to 716 00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:51.599 know, Adam, what are your favorite jerseys that are non Clippers, that 717 00:53:51.719 --> 00:53:54.599 are non Clippers? Yeah, all time. One of mine would be the 718 00:53:54.719 --> 00:54:00.519 pinstripe Orlando Magic jerseys from the nineties, and I think they've were back with 719 00:54:00.639 --> 00:54:02.840 t MAC at some point wearing those two. Those are nice. I like 720 00:54:02.960 --> 00:54:07.480 those. The black Chicago Bulls jerseys with pinstripes from I think the ninety five 721 00:54:07.480 --> 00:54:13.599 to ninety six season. Jordan right, the purple Charlotte Hornets pinstripe jerseys. 722 00:54:13.639 --> 00:54:15.800 Are you sensing the theme here? From the nineties, A lot of pinstripes. 723 00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:19.280 I don't really like that one, but yes, go on. And 724 00:54:19.480 --> 00:54:22.199 lastly, the Charlotte Bobcats. Baby, No, I'm just kidding. Nobody 725 00:54:22.280 --> 00:54:25.800 liked those, you know. I just like these new Clippers jerseys. I 726 00:54:25.880 --> 00:54:30.840 can't wait with the cursive. They're beautiful to look at. So I'm looking 727 00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:34.519 forward to those. All right, one question for you, Yes, I 728 00:54:34.599 --> 00:54:37.599 know you didn't call in, but where was this game lost tonight by the 729 00:54:37.639 --> 00:54:43.599 Clippers? I mean the fact that you don't play well against a team that 730 00:54:43.679 --> 00:54:46.960 doesn't have an MVP candidate and you, honest and their best role player in 731 00:54:47.159 --> 00:54:50.920 Chris Middleton. I mean, yeah, but they had your favorite player, 732 00:54:51.320 --> 00:54:53.920 Dame Dolla that that's true, and you got it like at least double team 733 00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:57.199 Dame. You gotta get the ball out of the hands and what so, 734 00:54:57.760 --> 00:55:01.840 so Bobby Portison get even more open shot. He was the Dame tonight in 735 00:55:01.920 --> 00:55:05.960 that fourth quarter. It was Bobby Porti's time. I mean, you can 736 00:55:06.039 --> 00:55:07.679 look at it this way, like, yes, I agree, the small 737 00:55:07.719 --> 00:55:12.760 ball is what doomed the Clippers this quarter. But also it's just how the 738 00:55:12.880 --> 00:55:16.760 hell do you not like it's your professionals. How the hell do any ProTeam 739 00:55:16.800 --> 00:55:21.599 still struggle against his zone. That's the thing that always befuddles me. So 740 00:55:21.960 --> 00:55:23.960 you can't make shots. It's hard to bust his own but uh yeah, 741 00:55:24.239 --> 00:55:28.280 it was brutal to watch tonight. Thank you, Zach, thank you, 742 00:55:28.639 --> 00:55:30.039 thank you. Before we get out of here, I do want to thank 743 00:55:30.039 --> 00:55:37.880 the Clippers organization, Ralph Lallabrian, Seaman Noah Ego, Carlo Jimenez on the 744 00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:42.519 call, the callers, the listeners, the venors, big Brother Jake Warner. 745 00:55:43.360 --> 00:55:47.719 Until Wednesday, the Clippers looking to bounce back once again after a brutal 746 00:55:47.800 --> 00:55:52.320 loss. They'll be in Houston pregame at three point thirty. I met a 747 00:55:52.400 --> 00:55:53.599 Moslim. We'll talk to you then
