Lou Williams fifteen thousand career points for the underground Goat. 9 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:50.000 Congrats the Sweet Lou Williams. He reaches fifteen thousand points for his career and 10 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:54.759 the Clippers used the three to make it three straight. They defeat the San 11 00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:59.439 Antonio Spurs by a final score one thirty four to one oh one. Welcome 12 00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.880 into clip Stock. I'm Adam Oslin. Coming up on the show. We'll 13 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.439 have postgame audio from Sweet Lou Williams. You'll hear from the head coach t 14 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:14.280 Lou. Another dominating performance by the Clippers has the worm turned. I don't 15 00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.200 know the exact expression for that or the origin of it, but I heard 16 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.159 it on Better Call Saul once, so that must mean something. One of 17 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.480 the best shows on television right now, dare I say better than Breaking Bad? 18 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:29.680 It's at least the best spinoff of all time. But we're starting to 19 00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:36.840 see the Clippers develop some real chemistry, continuity, and consistency out there. 20 00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:42.920 It's happening defensively. Holding San Antonio to just one hundred and one points, 21 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.879 that's impressive. What they did at the end of that game against the Atlanta 22 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.239 Hawks to come back down twenty two, where they outscored them by thirty one 23 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:57.040 points in the last sixteen minutes Monday night also impressive. Then before that they 24 00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.719 held the Charlotte Hornets to ninety eight point The Mavericks are just one oh five, 25 00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.200 granted in a loss because they couldn't hit shots, but the game before 26 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.520 that, they held the Mavericks to just ninety nine. The defense looks to 27 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:13.479 be setting. In that first game out of the All Star Break, they 28 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.319 won one thirty to one oh four over the Golden State Warriors. All of 29 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:22.680 a sudden, the talent is living up to the hype. When it comes 30 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:27.759 to this Clippers team defensively, because we knew they were capable of this. 31 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:32.879 We've seen this many times over, but they just haven't been able to put 32 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:38.520 it together for stretches at a time. And while I have a moment, 33 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.280 let's pause ten seconds for station identification. Here on a seventy sports this is 34 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:50.680 LA Clippers basketball A five seventy KLAC Los Angeles seven KYSR HD to Los Angeles 35 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.159 and iHeart radio station. The Clippers were dominant defensively as Kawai goes back to 36 00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.879 his old stomping grounds, and they stomped out the San Antonio Spurs. Kawai 37 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:05.280 was unreal. Twenty five points, okay, just twenty five. Had twenty 38 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:09.000 five last game, but he did so tonight on twelve buckets, twelve shots. 39 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:15.080 He made nine of them for his twenty five points. And he had 40 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:23.680 three vicious throwdowns, nasty throw downs on Yaka Purtle, who I almost felt 41 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.919 bad for, and Uker Big Zoo got him too. And Big Zoo has 42 00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.159 been playing to his size. He's making his case to getting back into the 43 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:37.680 starting lineup. Had fourteen points, had eight boards, but went five or 44 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:42.080 five from the field. Feed the beast. Find the beast in the middle. 45 00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.719 It's big Zoo. You want to up your paint scoring, get it 46 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:50.520 to vitsa zoo bots early and often reward the big man who plays well for 47 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:57.199 you on the defensive end at all times. Marcus Morris also had another really 48 00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.240 good game from beyond the arc. Hit five of his seven three pointers, 49 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:05.680 had twelve points in the first quarter, finished with twenty on seven of twelve 50 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:11.280 from the field. The Clippers as a team, while they had been struggling, 51 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.120 not in the second half against Atlanta, where they went eleven of twenty 52 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.319 one. I believe it was from three, but the two games before that 53 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:21.240 they had been below their average or their percentage from the outside, which is 54 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.680 the highest in the league at over forty one percent. When it comes to 55 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:31.800 making three pointers. Tonight seventeen of thirty three from distance, that would be 56 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:39.120 fifty two percent. The ball movement was spectacular. They put up forty one 57 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.759 points in that first quarter, most they put up in a first quarter this 58 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:47.040 season so far, and they were up by eighteen, as many as eighteen 59 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.279 early on in this game. It's not easy to get up by eighteen within 60 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:57.160 the first twelve minutes, but the defense was suffocating. They did what they 61 00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:01.160 had to, and my key to the game was turnovers because San Antonio, 62 00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.519 no one's better in that area. They take care of the basketball while they're 63 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:11.120 just twentieth on offense twentieth on defense. They get by and they're in the 64 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:16.040 playoff picture currently in the seventh spot in the West, by having more possessions 65 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:21.879 than the opposition, by not getting careless with the basketball, so they averaged 66 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:27.879 ten point eight turnovers per game. They had sixteen tonight against the Clippers. 67 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:32.560 They got handy with them. The Clippers turned that into twenty eight points. 68 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:38.160 And they've been getting more fast break points recently the last four games. I 69 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.959 believe they've gotten fifteen points in transition. Tonight just ten. But you have 70 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.879 to understand they were up by as many as thirty five and Greg Popovich waved 71 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.959 the white flag early in the fourth quarter, and then the Clippers backups came 72 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:57.600 in and guess who's still hot. Luke Kennard just hit two threes like it 73 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:00.439 was nothing. When two of three from distance. He only played twelve minutes 74 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:06.759 but had six points. But sweet Lou Williams, congrats to the underground goat 75 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.839 for getting into fifteen thousand points in his career. He does so in a 76 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:16.240 Clippers uniform. He has played his best basketball as a Clipper. It's been 77 00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:21.040 a privilege to get to watch him because I've been involved with this organization since 78 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:25.600 they made that move to bring him in from the Houston Rockets when they trade 79 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.199 CP three and Lou Williams. Remember that first year in twenty seventeen. In 80 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:36.360 twenty eighteen, he was the guy, the guy, and somehow that team 81 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:42.680 won forty two games they had no business doing. So. They traded Blake 82 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.000 Griffin a couple of weeks before the trade deadline, who had missed a month 83 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.920 from injury already, and somehow, and I say somehow, but I'm looking 84 00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:56.639 at sweet Lou Williams. He's the one. He carried them. He had 85 00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.959 one of the most impressive games I've ever seen in my life when he scored 86 00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:05.399 fifty up at Oracle Arena while taking on the Kevin Durant led Warriors. He 87 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:10.879 had a twenty seven point third quarter in that game. The all time record 88 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.680 for most points scored in a quarter is thirty seven. He was just ten 89 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:18.360 off of that. Coincidentally, Klay Thompson has that record, but sweet Lou 90 00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:23.560 Williams was a one man wrecking crew for that entire season. He had I 91 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:27.879 want to say, five games of forty points or more and he kept them 92 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:31.360 afloat and in the playoff picture till the final week. Back in twenty seventeen 93 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:36.240 and twenty eighteen, he also led them in assists that year. It's been 94 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:40.160 an underrated part of his game. He did it for two years straight with 95 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:45.319 the Clippers. He had some ridiculous performances in the playoffs against the Golden State 96 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:50.639 Warriors the next year during that thirty one point miraculous comeback, biggest playoff comeback 97 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:57.120 all time in Game two up at Oracle against the fully loaded Golden State Warriors 98 00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.519 with Shamon hitting that shot to win it, Lou Williams want to say, 99 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:07.560 had thirty four. He was the catalyst getting them back into it. And 100 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.720 tonight he reaches fifteen thousand points scored for his career. He can't say enough 101 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.720 about the underground goat, but he has won the six Man of the Year 102 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.199 three different times. He is the all time leading scorer off the bench in 103 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:26.680 NBA history. He passed Dell Curry for that mark for that honor, and 104 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.800 he's just been a wonderful leader, a locker room type of guy, and 105 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.480 you're happy to see guys like this do well. And by the way, 106 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:41.440 tonight, sixteen points in just seventeen minutes for Lou Williams, So he was 107 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.679 doing damage and picking his spots, but they pulled him after he got to 108 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:52.440 fifteen thousand points. Hopefully we'll hear from him coming up. Looking for postgame 109 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.360 audio from TLU as well and Kawhi Leonard Paul George. Still struggling overall with 110 00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:00.639 the shot, but I like the fact that he got into the mid range 111 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:05.039 in the fourth quarter, just seventeen points win eight of eighteen, but mostly 112 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.039 because he went o of six from three the MIDI was working for him. 113 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.600 But right now, he aired a three ball in that fourth quarter. Actually, 114 00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.120 he's just been so off from the outside uncharacteristically. It's just a shooting 115 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.799 slump. I've talked with Indiana Pacers fans and Oksey thunder fans. They've seen 116 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:24.720 this before where he'll go through this for a couple of weeks and then bounce 117 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:30.240 back. Remember this is someone on the season who's still shooting just under fifty 118 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.320 percent from the field and just under forty five percent from three. He's the 119 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:39.600 only player averaging twenty plus points per game while hitting those two percentages. He's 120 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:45.039 been special, he's been spectacular. He's been in the MVP conversation at times. 121 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.639 He's just been struggling since he came back from that foot injury. I 122 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.879 don't know if that's what's been hindering him, if he's still laboring through it, 123 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.200 if it's the fact that he's still adjusting his game. He's become more 124 00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.200 of a facilitator out there. Had four assists, just one turnover. You'd 125 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.320 like to see that assisted to turn over ratio. He was really good with 126 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.519 seven assists. And they're comeback against the Atlanta Hawks and he has found the 127 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.919 Vizza Zoo Bots in the paint over and over again. Remember last season, 128 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:16.200 the first game against the Lakers, no PG, Kawhi Leonard leads them to 129 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.799 a victory. But he had instant chemistry with a Visa Zoo bots. Paul 130 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.440 George has some of that now too, And it's easy when you got a 131 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.480 beast in the paint like that who you just feed and he throws it down 132 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:30.639 each and every time. Now, But Kawhi Leonard had three monster dunks in 133 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:35.639 this one, I thought Nicholas Batoum hit a couple of timely three pointers as 134 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.679 he usually does one and this was key. This was critical because the Clippers 135 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:43.279 were up by eighteen midway through the third quarter. They let go of the 136 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:48.279 rope a little bit. But they went on a seven oh run to end 137 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:52.960 the first half and Nicholas Batoum hit a three pointer, Terrence Man had a 138 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.799 nice reverse layup, Kawhi hit a jumper with a few seconds left in the 139 00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:58.919 first half, and they went on that seven oh run, and they were 140 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.919 up by fourteen going into the third quarter and they would pour it on from 141 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.200 then. The Clippers win Game one of this two game miniseries versus the San 142 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.519 Antonio Spurs. Before we break here, let's get you a phone call, 143 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:18.039 uh, CJ, because you just called in As I said that, I'm 144 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.200 gonna punch you up at CJ in Alhambra here on Clipper stock.

What moves could the Clippers possibly make? 152 00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.840 Well's pretty good right now. I don't know if they need to make 153 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.720 any major ones. They've won three in a row and they look dominant on 154 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:18.759 the defensive end. You're listening to Clipper Stock.

You can make the argument he 163 00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:11.679 is the best bench player, best player off the bench in NBA history. 164 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.519 All right, let's go to Morris in Long Beach.

And the other day I 172 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:46.679 think he shot twenty times and made nineteen and I'm exaggerating, but this no, 173 00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.679 no, he shot eight times and made eight shots. He was eight 174 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.200 for eight, went involved. But listen, listen, they're gonna need that 175 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:58.279 shot. And I like when I know they wanted night they I can't believe 176 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.559 he's going one hundred and thirty four points against the San Antonio But the other 177 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.559 day when it was struggling, I liked it when coach claud I think was 178 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:07.759 the Atlanta game at twenty seven points, behind the coach, pulled the stars 179 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:11.000 out, y'all sit out. He brought in tea man, and he brought 180 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.320 in Canard. See Canard can shoot, Okay, he can. He can 181 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:18.480 get his look. So even though he's not starting right now, Okay, 182 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.480 when they get with this trade deadline stuff, don't trade that floor. I 183 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.759 don't know if you've got any influence at him, but don't let him trade 184 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.200 him because they're gonna need that shot in the playoff from Tim talk later. 185 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:31.440 I have zero influence, and that's a good thing. Trust in Lawrence Frank 186 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.919 and Jerry West and this front office that just don't miss They've been doing it 187 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.759 for years now. They've been brilliant with all their signings. But I believe 188 00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:48.080 Luke Kennard isn't even able to be traded because he just signed that extension and 189 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.720 it has to be six months after that, and it hasn't been that yet. 190 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:52.440 It would have to be this upcoming summer. I'm not sure on that. 191 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.080 I'll have to get Eric Pinks the Capologist online. CEJ. We're gonna 192 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:03.039 try this again, but only because you've been calling in for years and you've 193 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.559 never said that before. Now, CJ, you know what happened last time. 194 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.080 Well it's not to have it happen again, CJ. What's up your 195 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:15.559 on clippers? Stop with adamaslin. I got a little excited and I apologize. 196 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.600 Well, they did win by thirty three. Yeah, right, that's 197 00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:24.679 something you want to celebrate. But so going forward sixteen hours, two point 198 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:33.759 six million, I guess we could work wast Are we doing something, Well 199 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.399 that's pretty general. My guess is they do something. Whether how big or 200 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:41.559 small that is, we'll see. But they have been active. They have 201 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.440 been bold and aggressive at the trade deadline in the past. However, if 202 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:48.519 they don't, this team looks great now that Luke Kenard has come around. 203 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:52.519 It's like they already just had a pickup. But so here's the silver lining 204 00:15:52.559 --> 00:16:00.720 I see with the Abaca injury doing Morris are a great and them together, 205 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.559 Yes, sir, But I think Ibaka is better at the four, so 206 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:10.600 I don't I don't disagree with that at all, CJ. So I say 207 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:12.399 we go for a five, but small, I mean, like, you 208 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:17.759 know, a five off the bench, and I'm thinking, like mo Bamba. 209 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.080 I know it's a stretch, but I say we go for him or 210 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:27.320 Lendo's selling. I don't. I don't know if they'll be able to get 211 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:32.879 Mo Bombo, but there are two guys that people are looking at to be 212 00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:36.840 bought out. One of them is in San Antonio with La Marcus Aldridge. 213 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.720 The other has been talked about often right now, and that's Andre Drummond in 214 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:48.679 Cleveland, and both guys could help a team. I think Andre Drummond at 215 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:52.519 this point is the better player, because I want to say La Marcus Aldridge 216 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.360 just turned thirty six. Drummond is still just twenty seven years of age and 217 00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:00.600 he's been getting about seventeen and eleven. He's led the league and rebounding multiple 218 00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:04.400 times. He's a big body in the paint. So if you're talking about 219 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:11.599 what you just mentioned, there CJ having Surge next to of Visa Zoobots, 220 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:15.240 which we haven't seen much at all so far this season, although t Lewis 221 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:18.799 talked about tinkering with a big lineup like that, but just having Surge back 222 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:21.319 at the four, there's something to that. But yeah, they would need 223 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:26.480 another big especially because obviously Fiondo Cavin Gelly, he was just recently traded to 224 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:30.839 Sacramento eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six sixty nine, 225 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:36.200 eight seven two five seventy. Let's hear from the man who pushes all the 226 00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.640 right buttons. He's been doing it all season long. When you talk about 227 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:44.839 accountability and adjustments. That is head coach Toronto Lou. Here he was postgame 228 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.720 after the Clippers win one thirty four to one oh one. Here's t Lou 229 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:52.759 speaking with the media. Hey, coach, congrats on the wind. It 230 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.759 seemed tonight like the team was playing at a slightly quicker pace to get the 231 00:17:56.839 --> 00:18:00.640 ball up the floor and get into their sets quicker. Do you feel like 232 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.839 that helped lead to part of the reason why you guys have such a great 233 00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.839 offensive night overall? Yeah, I think we playing the face and the half 234 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.400 court, you know, I think it's a good like you said, different 235 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:15.759 floor early getting to our darts or double trits, doubles the floor up that 236 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.480 allows us to get involved to the second side of the floor as well. 237 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.799 So walking out to the good job of doing that, I'm getting good job 238 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.720 and play with pace and the half court as well, typing down hill and 239 00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:30.720 get into the bank and you know, just build these good happits. Do 240 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:33.440 you think that that pace is also brought about by getting the defensive stops to 241 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.319 energize the team to do it, Yes, sir, going on they're getting 242 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:41.440 stops, did not really in transition, I'll really helped us out generation and 243 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:45.720 easy baskets on which we've been talking about all season, trying to get it 244 00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:48.559 up early, get easy baskets, and we did that. But we also 245 00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.880 are executing O half court as well. Thank you. Thanks go to Andrew 246 00:18:52.920 --> 00:19:00.319 greg It's I congrat some even so clear the last a week or so about 247 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.720 how the start on defense and the defensive mindset for you guys. What did 248 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:07.640 it say to you to have you guys turn over this team which doesn't turn 249 00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.680 the ball over? How to do it sixteen times? Just active disrupted. 250 00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:15.640 We would bought physic challenge in the game, you know on the offensive end 251 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.720 for us when we have in eight times, it's good as well. You 252 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:21.880 can talk about it before the game. But just being to the bodies of 253 00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:25.839 being happy, Paul Patty Mills got free a little bit too much better for 254 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:27.559 me, but you know, we try to have a consciously have the Worrison. 255 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:32.440 I want to flow at all times. But overall pretty pleased about physicality 256 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:40.279 and go to Miriam hey, Ti. In terms of that, I mean, 257 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:42.759 Kawi had five steals tonight and he was super aggressive in that way. 258 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:45.559 How important is that for him to kind of be out there and kind of 259 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:52.559 set the tone and try to contribute very very important garden best player to water 260 00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:55.559 rolls and lots of Kaua took the challenge, and we never he starts the 261 00:19:55.599 --> 00:20:00.759 games for us because he's for everybody else to fall. So you know, 262 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:10.119 we need that every single night, and I'll be good until mayor any tack. 263 00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:11.799 Congrats on the wind. I don't know when it was exactly, but 264 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.799 I feel like over the last two or three weeks you guys would just put 265 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:19.079 an extra look emphasis at least maybe in my view of just going to the 266 00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:22.720 basket and attacking the rim with more aggression resulted in more free through the last 267 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:25.960 couple of games. I guess when did you see that start? And I 268 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.440 guess how how has that sort of change what you guys are doing offensively if 269 00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:33.319 at all? Well, we've been walking on all years. You've been talking 270 00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:36.240 about what I've been talking about it. Our team has been talking about as 271 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:37.720 well. But we want to go with course. You know, we don't 272 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.079 think the calls. We can't complaining. He's got to spokeular chest and you 273 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.119 know, get to the basket. We don't have it. Thank then we 274 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:47.200 got to make the right past, you know, for the right shots. 275 00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:52.000 And I think see the results definitely on with markets Morrish. You know Kawiet 276 00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:57.279 pt driving the ball, they're helping kicking it out to markets shots.

Thanks time, Thanks go to 284 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:30.680 law any time. Uh lou Will got the fifteen thousand point milestone. And 285 00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:34.920 I just wanted to know from you, like when he came into the league, 286 00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:41.680 you were a player in Atlanta and like he's from that area. I 287 00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.519 just wanted to know, like what you remember about him coming into the league 288 00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:48.359 and what he's meant to this team, both going and off the floor, 289 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:52.240 and what it meant to get that milestone for him to day much question you 290 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:57.680 want to answer, Well, what do you want to do? One out 291 00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.799 of the top. Yeah, we'll go one at a time. So, 292 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:06.960 first off, just the milestone in the day. What does he mean to 293 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:11.920 this team? You know, especially considering you've asked him to be a scorer 294 00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:15.880 for this team. He hits fifteen thousand, great milestone, you know, 295 00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.839 especially four thousands just come off the bench for most of his career and we 296 00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:23.960 score fifteen thousand points. I mean, that's that's that's a tremendous achievement. 297 00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:26.519 You know, he means so much to this team, you know, coming 298 00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:30.880 off the bench to give us an office and punch that you need. Tomari 299 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.279 was great. He's been great for his team before him and got and that's 300 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.880 when he got to generating. So we don't want a sixth man multiple times 301 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.400 without being able to score in basketball and playing what he does. And let's 302 00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:45.519 say it's a pleasure and I have a lot of team and I'll just wanted 303 00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:49.400 to just recall with you being in Atlanta and him come into the league. 304 00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:53.559 Just if you remember when he came into the league. You know, yeah, 305 00:22:55.680 --> 00:23:00.720 a lot faster, but we know it's a sixteen year but faster athletic. 306 00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.519 You know, he really could jump, really can get to really once 307 00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:07.039 on the floor, you know, really shifting, you know as a as 308 00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:10.319 a young player coming in, especially out of high school. You know, 309 00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:12.400 he sent him those guys have played fasts all the time, but he really 310 00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:17.680 had a shifting. This to his game stop start, he had a lot 311 00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:19.880 to his game. But he like covession, you know. And then I 312 00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:23.079 think when he found his nitch just coming in out the dancing and scoring the 313 00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:30.480 basketball the way he does. I mean he took off back. There was 314 00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:37.160 head coach Telu muffled microphones there in San Antonio. But the Clippers win by 315 00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.480 thirty three with the final score one thirty four to one oh one over the 316 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:44.839 Spurs. Coming back.

Since 319 00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:56.519 coming out of the break, Clippers has been giving up just one oh seven 320 00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.759 per game. That includes the one thirty five points scored by the New Orleans 321 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:07.240 Pelicans given up one oh seven. That's top five during their last seven games, 322 00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:11.039 or that puts them in the top five defensively over that period of time. 323 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:17.640 Clippers defense starting to round into form. They hold the Spurs is just 324 00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:21.759 one hundred and one points. We'll also have far about essence Shari coming up 325 00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:25.680 as well.

Semen, Mike 337 00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:30.200 for Tello, it is great to have you with us. Congratulations on the 338 00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:34.839 win. Tell me what has changed for you guys over the last ten days 339 00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:40.680 or so since that loss in New Orleans. Mentality? You know, we 340 00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:42.759 can't be a team to ease into games. We have to be an aggressive 341 00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:45.759 team. We ought to be a punch first team and instead of easing into 342 00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:49.160 these things, and you know, I think a young guys gave us a 343 00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.799 boost. That last game gave us a lot of confidence. You know, 344 00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.000 with games like that, teams tend to build around that. So we would 345 00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:59.400 able to be able to build off of that tonight and just continue to grow. 346 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.960 Blue of the guy's understanding how important this stretch is now. There's so 347 00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:07.960 many teams clustered up together in the Western Conference with wins that to me, 348 00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:12.039 it seems like it's so important to put a string together. Absolutely, we 349 00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:15.359 noticed is our last game on the road for the next eighteen days. That's 350 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:18.599 in the back of our minds. We understand that we got a great home 351 00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.079 stretch coming up with some good teams coming in, but we feel really confident 352 00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:25.519 playing on our home flow, so we understand how important this last trip is. 353 00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:27.480 I don't know if you are aware of this or not. You scored 354 00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:32.839 your fifteen thousandth career point. Take me back to your career. I mean, 355 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:36.279 that's a huge milestone, especially with all the games you've had coming off 356 00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:41.119 the bench. It's a blessing for where my career has gone. You know, 357 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.039 everybody has dreams of being a superstar guy in this league, and we 358 00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:47.279 all feel like we can we can do things. So for me to have 359 00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:51.960 fifteen thousand points off the bench, I'm incredibly unnered. I'm sure I'm in 360 00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:55.599 great company north of fifteen thousand, and I just feel blessed to still be 361 00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:59.200 here and able to continue my career. A little one more thing for first, 362 00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:03.599 congratulations on reaching that plateau. We have a couple of guys who hopefully 363 00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.000 will be rejoining the team. How much of a problem to work people back 364 00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:11.440 into a rotation when they come back. It shouldn't be a problem. You 365 00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:15.720 know, those are two of us starting guys, and you know we're pros 366 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:17.720 and at the end of the day, we have a we have a huge 367 00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:19.599 goal ahead of us. We're trying to win an NBA championship. So every 368 00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:25.559 hopefully everything goes stimley steamlessly and we just continue to go. Lou, congratulations 369 00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:29.240 on the win, Congratulations on fifteen thousand. Thanks for joining us. All 370 00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:32.880 right, thank you. There was Lou Williams post game on Fox Sports Prime 371 00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:37.039 Ticket. He now has fifteen thousand career points. He's just one of thirteen 372 00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:42.400 active players to reach that milestone, and he's the only player since the seventy 373 00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:48.119 seventy one season, when starters first were tracked to have fifteen thousand career points 374 00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:52.480 with less than four hundred games starting eight six, six ninety seven two five 375 00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:59.400 seventy before farboard Essence. Shari joins me here on Clippers Talk Jose in south 376 00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:03.440 Gate. Jose, what's up? You're on Clipper stock with Autamuslin. Let's 377 00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:08.000 go at up? I mean, let's go on. Don't don't fake me 378 00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:15.759 out like that, Loo, come on now, Adam Man Man Man Man. 379 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:18.480 Okay, as a long time to my friends, did I checked out 380 00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:21.559 last game? I half time see when we're down, Yes, but then 381 00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:25.160 tune in to day third quarter? Were up about how much? And then 382 00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:29.519 hearing sweet Lou go about how much? Okay, this. I just love 383 00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:32.640 how lou knew he was always on score. He passes the button, but 384 00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:34.200 tune bass it back to him like nah, go ahead of score man. 385 00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:38.160 But then he passed back and then ended up he ended up getting it. 386 00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:45.799 Let's go Clippers, Jose, thank you for the phone call. You know 387 00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:51.839 what before we break stupid board up? That's me, Jeff and Tarzana. 388 00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:56.200 Jeff, what's up? You're on Clipper stock? Do you think the game 389 00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:03.400 was as posted as the score now? Sir? You know what I think? 390 00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:07.920 I think Papovitch I feel bad for him. The guy is a great 391 00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:12.000 coach. He just doesn't have the players anymore. This guy, this guy 392 00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:17.319 is shown time and again what kind of coach he is, and I feel 393 00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:19.680 kind of bad. I mean, I'm glad that the Clippers won and everything, 394 00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:23.400 but I would like to see Popovitch in San Antonio get in the playoffs 395 00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:30.039 again rather than some of those other teams. This is kind of game where 396 00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:33.519 you think how good the Clippers could really be, Adam, and if they 397 00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:37.240 can beat San Antonio again tomorrow? Do you know that now there are only 398 00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:42.160 two games behind. Phoenix lost tonight to Orlando. Yeah, they're only a 399 00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:48.599 game behind the Suns currently two games. I'm seeing one game. Did you 400 00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:51.359 update the standings after this one? Because I just did it? Okay, 401 00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:56.680 okay, I'm looking at they were four games at the start behind Utah and 402 00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:02.680 Phoenix. Was you know what, You're totally right, You're totally right. 403 00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:04.079 Yeah. How many times I gotta tell you don't have a question. I'm 404 00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:07.000 kidding, oh much? In a while, munch in a while, you 405 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.200 got, I know it was two games before. I do think the Clippers 406 00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:15.880 should make a trade. But let me tell you how good would this team 407 00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:19.440 be if they could have Andrew Drummond? Because the Laker brass is talking about 408 00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:23.079 I mean reading all reports the Lakers are getting. I would hate to see 409 00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:26.440 Andrew Drummond go to the Lakers. Yeah, Andre too, wouldn't want to 410 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:30.839 see him there. No, I I understand. He's a big that can 411 00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:37.119 really maybe swing a series or a team can get a lag up by having 412 00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:42.039 someone like that. He's that good, and the Lakers could get back to 413 00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:48.400 having that fortress underneath the basket like they had last season with Dwight Howard and 414 00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:52.720 JaVale McGee. So hopefully some team are giving thirty million dollars a year, 415 00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:57.359 am I correct, Uh, it's something like that. It's a lot. 416 00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:00.640 I'm what the Clippers have to do with out running their team to get him. 417 00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:04.640 Well, he might just get bought out, so then it's up to 418 00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:10.039 him and where he wants to go. Okay, that sounds like the most 419 00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:12.880 likely scenario right now. Okay, they're not going to be able to trade 420 00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:17.559 him Cleveland. Does it seem to you that Kiromari has played this last game 421 00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:22.480 in Toronto or Tampa Bay now that they're playing. Yes, they were talking 422 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:27.559 about him basically in the past tense of being a raptor tonight after they absolutely 423 00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:33.160 crushed them with Kauai, who won a championship with him. Well, I 424 00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:37.119 can tell you he does make thirty million per year. That would be a 425 00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:40.559 tough one. But there's other teams that are vying for him. The heat 426 00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:45.559 are hot on his trail. The Philadelphia seventy six ers and Adrian Warzarowski did 427 00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:48.160 say earlier today, don't count out out the Los Angeles Lakers for trying to 428 00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:52.240 make a move for Kyle Lowry. I would hate to see that happen. 429 00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.200 In other words, we have Jerry West, but we have to beat the 430 00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:01.400 Lakers. To the punch. I'm not worried about Utah, but I'm really 431 00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:06.119 worried about the Lakers, who they could possibly get it at him. And 432 00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:10.359 if they get Andre Drummond or they get Kyle Lari, they could turn the 433 00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:15.680 league upside down again. Well, Jeff, we'll find out in about sixteen 434 00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:21.920 hours from now. But you gotta trust in this Clippers front office that was 435 00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:24.640 able to pull off the impossible before and take Kawhi Leonard away from being a 436 00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:31.319 Laker. Kawhi goes back to San Antonio. The team he averages the most 437 00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:37.200 points against at twenty six per game has twenty five, but on just twelve 438 00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:40.079 shot attempts, Clippers win by thirty three. Coming up next, we I 439 00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:44.440 far bought essence, Sharion. You're listening to Clipper stock. I'm at a 440 00:32:44.519 --> 00:32:51.440 Maslin and this is a five seventy LA Sports wrong one. This is the 441 00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:57.240 official home of your LA Clippers. Spiza Supbots death dates on the rim and 442 00:32:57.359 --> 00:33:01.240 go home. But the Clippers. The sis I was on this said, 443 00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:15.039 congratulations, shine works off the shoe got the lations of sweet loew Williams. 444 00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:22.759 He gets a fifteen thousand points for his career, has sixteen in seventeen minutes 445 00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:29.240 tonight and the Clippers win by thirty three over the San Antonio Spurs. Welcome 446 00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:31.119 back in New Clippers Talk, I'm at m Oslin to eight sixty six nine 447 00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:36.240 eight seven two five seventy. Eight sixty sixty nine eight seven two five seventy 448 00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:39.319 is the phone number final segment here, But we're gonna make it a good 449 00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:45.119 one because we got my friend Farboad Essence Sharion at Farbod underscore e. He 450 00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:52.240 is the insider that broke the news before anyone else that James Harden was going 451 00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:57.000 to the Brooklyn Nets. He beat Woes, he beat Shams, he beat 452 00:33:57.039 --> 00:34:00.640 the guy from USC, he beat h I don't know some of those baseball 453 00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:05.400 guys, John Hayman. Sometimes they crossed over, you know, Sham's does 454 00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:07.920 it once in a while. He had the breaking story about the Ducks game 455 00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:15.079 being pushed back or them getting that an automatic win because VCU went into a 456 00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:20.280 coronavirus protocols. Far abought. Thank you for coming on tonight especially, But 457 00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:22.920 we're talking about sweet Lou Williams a lot here because he gets the fifteen thousand 458 00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:29.000 points. Just encapsulate what he's meant to the game, but also what he's 459 00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:31.239 meant to this Clippers team, where he's played the best basketball of his career 460 00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:37.480 in the Clippers uniform. I mean it's it's I think people forget when they 461 00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:42.920 think about Lou, Like how many game winners he's hit for the franchise in 462 00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:45.519 two years, I mean against the Bucks, against the Nets, against the 463 00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:51.639 Wizards, like, he's done a lot. And I think he's whether or 464 00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:53.519 not fans think they should trade him or whatever, like he's earned the right 465 00:34:53.719 --> 00:35:00.480 to play out his contract, especially with how low he decided to he signed 466 00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:04.639 for the team. In terms of what he means to the NBA, I 467 00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:07.559 mean, I think it just shows kind of an It's very hard to get 468 00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:13.239 that many points off the bench, And there's a reason why guys like Emmanuel 469 00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:17.239 quickly say he's their favorite player. He's your favorite player's favorite player. He's 470 00:35:17.280 --> 00:35:22.159 the underground goat for a reason. Far about s and shar Is joining me 471 00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:25.119 here on Clipper stock after they win one thirty four to one on one over 472 00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:30.360 the San Antonio Spurs. Far aboard, When Kawhi plays the Spurs, it 473 00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:34.679 is it just any other game, because it looks like I mean, he 474 00:35:34.840 --> 00:35:37.559 brought the pogo sticks for this one. He was getting up like he was 475 00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:43.199 still twenty five years of age playing for the Spurs. Yeah, they asked, 476 00:35:43.320 --> 00:35:47.400 They asked Tie if it if it's any other game to Kauai. They 477 00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:51.559 tried to get like a little candid answer for him, and Tay said, 478 00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:52.840 it is just like any other game. But it's always very interesting to me 479 00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:57.400 because like any player you talked to will always say, oh, just another 480 00:35:57.480 --> 00:36:00.239 game, just another one out of eighty two. But like a lot of 481 00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:04.280 times you can tell that's clearly not the case. But with Kawai, it's 482 00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:07.760 kind of hard to tell in general, because every game does look like the 483 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:10.920 same game for him. I'm still laughing about the question to our friend Tom 484 00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:16.199 Arazarali from Clutch Points asked him after he hit that three pointer in Tony Snell's 485 00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:22.039 face on Monday night, his former teammate in high school, asking him if 486 00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:28.039 he has bragging rights in Kawad said no, No, if anyone's gonna downplay 487 00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:30.119 it, it's gonna be Kawhi Leonard. But that's just who he is and 488 00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:34.440 we love him for it. And he's still just twenty nine years of age 489 00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:38.000 and playing the best basketball of his career right now in the regular season with 490 00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:42.400 your Los Angeles Clippers, somebody who has been struggling though far. But I'm 491 00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:45.599 interested to get your thoughts on why you think Paul George and his shot just 492 00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:51.159 haven't been there consistently. He's been shooting about forty percent from the field, 493 00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:54.480 about thirty percent from three in his last six or seven games. Now, 494 00:36:57.000 --> 00:37:00.559 I think he's just I mean, he's a streaky guy. Like we've already 495 00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:02.519 seen it in the bubble, Like once he's in his own head, he's 496 00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:06.639 in his own head. He's he's admitted it, and I think he was. 497 00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:08.320 He was shooting so well at the start of the season it was kind 498 00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:13.719 of ludicrous, and now there's just the regression. The only thing, unfortunately, 499 00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:15.599 is like he seems to be the type of guy that when he goes, 500 00:37:16.199 --> 00:37:21.400 oh for four, he's gonna he's gonna go over six. He doesn't. 501 00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:23.800 It's one. It's one or another with him. He's either making a 502 00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:28.320 ton or missing a ton. Some of them are good looks too, and 503 00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:30.679 they're just not going in. But fortunately, like you know, Lou picked 504 00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:35.559 up the slack today for him, or you know, Marcus Morris picked up 505 00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:37.719 the slack for him. So it's just one of those things where I think 506 00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:43.639 he's gotta I think he's got to overcome mentally certain times when he gets cold. 507 00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:46.199 I think he puts a lot of pressure on himself to do well. 508 00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:52.400 It's far abroad, Essen Shari joining me here on Clippers Talk. He does 509 00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:55.039 it for SI now and the Bleacher Report? Did I get that right? 510 00:37:55.119 --> 00:38:02.360 Far abroad? Where else can they find you? They evil letter for wrestling, 511 00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:07.760 I know, but uh no, I actually no, that was for 512 00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:12.519 esports too. Let me try to wrestle away some inside information from you, 513 00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:16.639 because you're plugged in. You've broken some of the biggest NBA news of the 514 00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:21.360 last six months. What are you hearing right now? What do you think 515 00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:24.320 is going on behind closed doors with this Los Angeles Clippers front office that works 516 00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:30.159 in stealth where nobody seems to have that inside input from them? Well, 517 00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:34.480 I mean, the thing about Clippers front offices is like they don't leak anything, 518 00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:37.519 right, but the other people that they're going after, their agents, 519 00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:43.239 their people do so like that's where you hear from. So when it's something 520 00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:46.599 big, like you know, getting rid of Tobias or Blake for you know, 521 00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:51.639 Kawai pg whoever. You're never going to hear about that. But then 522 00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:54.000 when it's something like Marcus Morris or Reggie Jackson or Surgeon Baka, Like we 523 00:38:54.119 --> 00:38:58.519 heard about that all last season, that they wanted Marcus Morrison, Reggie Jackson. 524 00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:00.480 That's why we called you know, that mixed game, his audition game, 525 00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:05.679 and then they ended up getting him. So I know for a fact, 526 00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:07.760 you know, there's certain people in the Thunder that you know they think 527 00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:13.599 George Hill is getting. I think he's getting the most a lot of attention 528 00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:16.800 from the Clippers. It'll be interesting to see if they go after him. 529 00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:22.519 It would have to be for some kind of expiring contracts and second round picks. 530 00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:24.599 I'm not sure how much George Hill really moves the needle, but he's 531 00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:30.000 the lowest hanging fruit for him. It seems pretty clear that like they're going 532 00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:34.320 after point guards and they're inquiring about every point guard there is, but it's 533 00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:37.559 George Hill, a Lonzo Ball, Ricky Rubio, whoever. But it all 534 00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:40.639 comes down to what they're willing to give up, and George Hill they have 535 00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:45.280 to give up the least four and that's kind of why it's the lowest hanging 536 00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:47.559 fruit. You gotta give to get because we had a call on this earlier 537 00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:52.400 from Jeff and Tarzana, who's very afraid that the Lakers are going to pick 538 00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:55.719 up Audrey Drummond. But we heard earlier from Adrian war Zarowski that the Clippers 539 00:39:55.760 --> 00:40:00.239 could also be interested in his services. Have you heard the same. I 540 00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:05.039 mean that was like brand new, because like for two weeks now, even 541 00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:09.519 when I did that TV bit for KTLA, before anyone said Lakers were interested 542 00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:13.639 in drumming, that was that was something I put out on TV. So 543 00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:15.440 I think, I mean, he's been heavily favored of the Lakers. They 544 00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:20.400 would be like a weird coup if if he went to the Clippers. And 545 00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:22.599 it would also be kind of weird if he did go to the Clippers, 546 00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:24.079 because then it could signal something underlying that they're going to get rid of a 547 00:40:24.159 --> 00:40:30.159 big man. Maybe, if anything, I think maybe they were inquiring about 548 00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:32.559 him in case they had to move a big man for a bigger piece, 549 00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:37.840 like a bigger point guard or a Victor Oladipo. But I mean, he 550 00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:43.079 was very heavily favored to go to the Lakers, and honestly, they can 551 00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:46.559 offer him a better spot because he'll start immediately, And I don't know why 552 00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:51.800 you would why you would want to do like a pseudo start pseudo you know, 553 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:54.440 backup with any other team if you could get that clear start with the 554 00:40:54.519 --> 00:41:00.719 championship contender. So how much do you think changes tomorrow with this Clippers roster? 555 00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:04.639 Are we talking big moves, small moves, moves on the margins. 556 00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:07.719 That's what a lot of people have said. Sam Amock wrote about that before. 557 00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:12.280 Because this Clippers team looks great now. They just have to optimize lineups 558 00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:14.679 and guys just have to play to their potential, which I think they will. 559 00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:20.719 That is the tough part to predict because Jerry West. Jerry West can 560 00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:24.559 be, you know, very ruthless in that regard, so ruthless in the 561 00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:28.800 regard of like you can trade to Bias or Blake overnight and no one will 562 00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:31.920 even know. Because that Blake trade really was out of nowhere. I've talked 563 00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:36.320 to people about it and no one saw that coming. There was one sweet 564 00:41:36.559 --> 00:41:40.280 five minutes before it was official from Woach, then five minutes later was done. 565 00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:45.559 No one had that. I mean, Blake didn't even know. So 566 00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:50.920 if they choose to do something extreme, I don't think anyone, any one 567 00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:52.599 of us are gonna be able to predict it. I think the smart money 568 00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:59.119 would be maybe just some kind of fine tuning just because the personnel is there. 569 00:41:59.159 --> 00:42:04.679 They're just not executing certain things that well. But if I had to 570 00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:08.679 guess, whatever they could do to get Alonzo or Ricky Rubio without giving up 571 00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:10.599 too much, and if they do have to give up too much, they 572 00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:15.599 might just get a George Hill and then have another empty spot for a buyout. 573 00:42:16.039 --> 00:42:19.599 I don't think they're gonna I don't think they're gonna dismantle too much. 574 00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:22.840 I mean, for as much as they're underperforming, they're still like a game 575 00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:27.480 out of the second seed. Yeah, they're a game back of the Phoenix 576 00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:31.199 Suns right now. Yeah. So it's the thing. The thing that's always 577 00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:34.920 interesting about the Clippers, and I've said it before, it's like they can 578 00:42:35.039 --> 00:42:38.239 beat anyone, but they can also get beat by anyone. So that's the 579 00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:42.480 part they have to try to figure out a way to minimize that variance that 580 00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:46.760 allows that. He is far bought s and Shari follow him on Twitter at 581 00:42:46.800 --> 00:42:52.079 far Bought Underscore E. He does it for SI now and the Bleacher Report. 582 00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:55.599 Far Bought I appreciate you coming on tonight.

I'm gonna tell you. 585 00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:13.000 I was so confident because I went to bed at like four a and yesterday. 586 00:43:13.320 --> 00:43:15.960 I was so confident I was gonna wake up at like twelve today and 587 00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:17.559 then like everything was going to be done. And then I woke up at 588 00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:21.360 eleven and nothing could happened. I was like, Okay, then I gets 589 00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:28.559 no more rumors swirling. We're gonna make you wait, just more interesting exactly, 590 00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:32.440 team emerging as likely front runner. Oh my goodness.
