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

2
00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:09.240
reaction has just begun. Kawhi Leonard
is so smooth in the mid range.

3
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:14.160
This is Clippers locker Room, a
recap of today's game and a look ahead

4
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:19.160
on your hope for LA Clippers basketball
at now your host, You, sir,

5
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:24.920
are a bad man, Adam Ousley. Clippers drop a tough one in

6
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:30.160
Boston one sixteen to one ten.
Welcome into your postgame show coming up second

7
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:32.880
half. Highlight your post game box
score. You'll hear from coach lew In

8
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:37.719
the players. But first back out
to Noah Eagle in Boston. Noah,

9
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:42.159
it was a well played game at
times, but the Clippers just didn't have

10
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:44.679
enough down the stretch. As you
mentioned, Yeah, there were just a

11
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:49.079
couple of miscus in that fourth quarter, where one I'm surprised if it's a

12
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.520
Zubos didn't play a little more.
Look, he played thirty minutes in this

13
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.600
game. That's still considering what he
had been playing in the years prior.

14
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.880
That's still a lot. And he
goes for thirteen eleven. But he dominated

15
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:00.119
that third quarter in particular, and
I think he went off the floor.

16
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.959
They went the small ball lineup a
toomb just he wasn't right after he got

17
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.400
banged up early in the game.
Reggie Jackson got banged up early in the

18
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.280
game, John Wallace struggled defensively a
little bit. Luke Knard did not attempt

19
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.400
a shot at him in seventeen minutes. Now, part of that is that

20
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:17.640
Boston was keying in on him,
and I think that they did a good

21
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.760
job of taking him out of the
game. But part of it is up

22
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:25.239
to the team and Luke Kenard to
go and find a shot. Because a

23
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:26.400
couple of threes from Luke Knard.
We talk about it all the time.

24
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.719
What do we call him at him? Game breaker? Yes, he is

25
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.640
a game breaker. Let's go back
a couple of years. Actually, twenty

26
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.879
nineteen here in Boston, Clippers were
down twenty eight points. What led them

27
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.799
back Aviza Zubots and the shooting of
Landry Shammon. The first game is Clippers

28
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.840
literally their first game in the Clipper
uniform, and they came back from twenty

29
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.640
eight down against Kyrie Irving and the
Boston Celtics to win that game. That

30
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.840
is the type of impact that we
know Luke Kenard is capable of having.

31
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.599
And so if you take zero shots
in a game, if you're Luke Kennard,

32
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.719
to me, that's unacceptable. He
has to get at least apple attempts.

33
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:02.560
I guess at least find some open
space. I thought Kawhi Leonard and

34
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.159
Paul George were both outstanding. They
understood what the team meted of them.

35
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.960
They both played big minutes. Kawhi
follows up the thirty five minutes with thirty

36
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:14.879
seven tonight. Paul George plays forty
minutes. In this game, they combined

37
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.439
for fifty points, and they combined
to go twenty one of thirty eight from

38
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:22.280
the floor. That is an efficient
fifty combined points. Kawhi went eleven of

39
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.360
sixteen after the first matchup with these
two, he went ten of twelve.

40
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.240
So in the two games against the
Celtics, who were considered to be a

41
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:32.599
pre premier defense in the NBA,
Kawhi Leonard went twenty one for twenty eight

42
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:38.280
from the floor and had fifty one
points in the two games. That is

43
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.199
the Kawhi Leonard we know very well. So I actually think there's a lot

44
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.599
of positive to take away from this
game. And I know that moral victory

45
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:49.120
should not exist for a team that's
trying to win a championship and believes that

46
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:52.759
they can win a championship this year. But considering where the Clippers started the

47
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.000
season, considering some of the injury
issues they've had, I feel like they're

48
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.639
still playing their best basketball right now. And Norman Powell thirty one minutes this

49
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:01.639
time off the bench. That was
good to see. He scored nineteen more

50
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.080
points. Got to the free throw
line. You know, the Clippers only

51
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.240
take They only took fourteen free throw
attempts in this game out and they lost

52
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.159
by six. They missed five of
them. The Celtics took twenty two.

53
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:15.479
And there's your difference. Clippers did
make fifteen threes compared to the Celtics eleven.

54
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.599
But overall, a couple miscues on
the fourth quarter. Defensively, a

55
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:22.639
couple lapses allowed for Jaylen Brown to
get going, and then the big one

56
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.759
was that run that resulted in the
Grant Williams three, and just a broken

57
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:28.800
play. And sometimes you can't impact
that. You know, a couple of

58
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.400
breaks don't go their way. They
have a couple of breaks that do go

59
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:35.719
their way. It was just overall
a normal ebb and flow of a basketball

60
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.000
game. And I felt like the
Clippers should hold their head high all things

61
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:42.759
considered, even with the six point
loss, it's certainly a battle in Boston.

62
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:46.759
This one the Celtics win, won
sixteen to one. Ten over your

63
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.840
Los Angeles Clippers. More from Noah
Eagle. But first, let's pause ten

64
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:54.639
seconds for station identification. Here on
Los Angeles Clippers Radio Network, this is

65
00:03:54.800 --> 00:04:02.960
LA Clippers Basketball FIEKLA Los Angeles seven, KR HD two Los Angeles and iHeart

66
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:08.080
Radio station. Now you mentioned Paul
George. If they don't have him early

67
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.280
in that fourth quarter, I'm not
sure where this game ends up. He

68
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.439
had some ridiculous shots, including that
and one on the reverse layup. He

69
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:17.040
was awesome, madam, an all
game. I mean, he was the

70
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.160
one who was taking control when he
recognized the team needed a little extra push,

71
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.079
the team needed a little extra boost, he was doing it in Look,

72
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.879
his assist numbers maybe weren't as high
as they've been in the last couple

73
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.360
of games. Six assists in forty
minutes is still not that bad for Paul

74
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.160
George. And more importantly, I'm
always looking at the turnovers. He had

75
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.160
four of them tonight, a little
bit higher. He and Leonard had seven

76
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:41.199
of the thirteen. That's the one
area you still feel like they can clean

77
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.720
up. And look, those turnovers
were just them being aggressive, and they

78
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.560
were getting doubled and triple team just
about every time they touched the ball.

79
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.000
But anytime they got single coverage,
anytime they got a mismatch, you've got

80
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.680
to appreciate the fact that they actually
went at it. They didn't play with

81
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.480
their food. They went straight to
the basket, or they went and found

82
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.199
their rhythm in a mid range jump
shot, found their sweet spot from three,

83
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:00.680
whatever it might be, it worked
out well, and I thought Paul

84
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.160
George was outstanding on both ends of
the floor once again tonight. And that

85
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:08.920
third quarter from the Clippers one of
the best quarters of the season when you

86
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.399
consider the stakes, who they're playing, where they're at. They outscore Boston

87
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.160
by twelve when they were down big
at the half and just came out guns

88
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:19.000
ablazing with all those threes. Yeah, the three point shot in the first

89
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:23.519
half was dreadful for the Clippers.
They just missed a number of open looks.

90
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.439
But this is what they've been doing, you know, in their last

91
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.600
nine games seven and two prior to
day, so now in their last ten

92
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:31.319
games, but seven and two in
their last nine prior to day, they

93
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:34.879
were shooting at thirty nine point four
percent from three, and tonight they shoot

94
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:39.040
at thirty nine percent from three,
fifteen of thirty nine. Overall, you've

95
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:41.360
got to like the way that they
played. Even when they got down,

96
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.240
they didn't stop playing the way they
wanted to play. They dictated how they

97
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:47.519
wanted to go, pace wise,
methodical. They got out and ran when

98
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.680
they could every now and then.
But overall, the drive kicks swing was

99
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.720
still there, the ball movement was
still there. The turnovers were kept somewhat

100
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.399
to a minimum. You know,
Toronto Lou says it, twelve thirteen,

101
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.279
fourteen turnovers. If you're in the
twelve to fourteen range, you feel pretty

102
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.160
good because you've been playing aggressively.
You're still playing good, smart basketball.

103
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:06.800
You're not getting out of control.
It's when the Clippers start racking up fifteen,

104
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:11.120
sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, and
then when they had twenty seven turnovers

105
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.079
in the game, that's a problem. So I thought today they did a

106
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.160
good job overall of that. They
spreaded the sugar around. They had twenty

107
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:20.959
six assists on forty three made field
goals. So overall again, most of

108
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.879
what they did, you have to
feel pretty good about. Clippers lose by

109
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:29.800
six in Boston. They finished off
this five game roadie in Indiana on Saturday.

110
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:31.920
Tip time is at noon. We'll
have Clippers countdown before you starting at

123
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:35.720

second half highlights. Though Clippers were down

124
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:41.079
sixty to forty nine after the first
twenty four minutes of play, but then

125
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.199
I found their shot from beyond the
arc in that third quarter to say the

126
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.079
least left wing A three is on
the way Jackson. He knocks it down.

127
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:51.399
Reggie Jackson's first triple of the night. Guess the Clippers within eight sixty

128
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:57.160
to fifty two and Leonard Shovel pass
right colorner three balls. Paul George finds

129
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.720
nothing but nylon back to back triples
for the Clippers. Morris is straight away.

130
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.120
Three is up and down for Marcus
Morris, about three straight threes to

131
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.879
start this second half of LA sixty
three fifty eight. He looks dry middle

132
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.000
spins, switch right, gets all
the way to the ram letter up and

133
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.399
under kick it outside, swing it
left wing. It's Morris open for three

134
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:20.560
and he sticks it. Marcus Morris, on the perfect ball movement by the

135
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.920
Clippers, caps it off and brings
them within two. There comes Morris right

136
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.319
to left, driving tick for side
corner three. George head he knocks it

137
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:35.399
down. The Clippers are in front
seventy four seventy two. La Leonard draws

138
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.159
the double, tries the straight away
three and hits anyway KWHI Leonard makes it

Canar driving middle outside wall, left

141
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.720
John Wall drills it and the Clippers
lead eighty five eighty three. Yeah.

142
00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:01.440
The Clippers win seven of eleven from
three in that third, and after three

143
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:05.039
they led by one at eighty five
eighty four. Early in the fourth quarter,

00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:11.399
it was all p PG thirteen eighty

as George drives mill got found Oh, Paul George somehow spins it through the

146
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:24.159
cortscrew delivery does wonders with a chance
for three as PG thirteen gets the Clippers

147
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.159
back in front. Eighty nine eighty
eight. George was seventeen tomb top of

148
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.399
the key, lobbats short corner near
side. George faces up on Grant Williams,

149
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:37.200
spins left page from twelve and hits
tough delivery from Paul George, who's

150

got twenty points for the fifth straight
game. Ninety four ninety two, Clippers

151
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:46.279

have three turnovers, and Jaylen Brown meanwhile

159
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:18.000
had twelve of his twenty nine for
the Boston Celtics in the fourth they would

160
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.519
get up by ten. Clippers had
it to within three late, but they

161
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.840
couldn't grab a board, and Boston
would eventually go on to win one sixteen

169
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.080
Welcome back into your post game show

170
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.440
seventy. We'll have Clippers talk for

seven two five seventy or you can get

172
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.639
to me on Twitter at follow Adam
a. Clippers end up shooting much better

173
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.120
in the second half forty eight percent
from the field overall, thirty eight percent

174
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:31.720
from distance outshot. Boston hit four
more three pointers. Both teams took thirty

175
00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.559
nine of them. But the Celtics
they got to the free throw line twenty

176
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.639
two times and even though they missed
five as well, or they had more

177
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:46.039
attempts they made seventeen, Clippers just
nine at the charity stripe and some of

178
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.759
those turnovers. While Boston had a
bunch on the third quarter, the Clippers,

179
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.639
i want to say, had five
in the fourth quarter, three from

180
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:58.000
Paul George. Boston got too many
possessions and some offensive rebounds late that would

181
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.360
eventually end in Jalen Brown throws that
would ice this one one sixteen to one

182
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.759
ten. Jalen Brown finished with twenty
nine points, same with Jason Tatum.

183
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:11.440
He goes ten of twenty six Jalen
Brown twelve or twenty five or two stars

184
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.559
for the Clippers. Kawhi Leonard looked
good eleven of sixteen, three three pointers

185
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.519
for his twenty six points. Paul
George ten of twenty two, three of

186
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.360
nine from distance he had twenty four. Nine of those came in the fourth

187
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.679
quarter, hit some really tough shots
when Kawhi Leonard was out of the ball.

188
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.360
Game off the bench. Norman Powell
with nineteen He just continues to play

189
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.360
efficient basketball. Nineteen points on just
twelve shots. Not enough, though,

190
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.759
Clippers lose by six. Boston improved
to twenty six and ten, best record

191
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.440
in the league. Clippers fall to
twenty one and sixteen. Their next game,

192
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.879
last game of this five game row
trip coming up in Indiana on Saturday.

193

Clippers drop a tough one late in Boston.

205
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:03.960
They lose sixteen to one ten to
the Celtics. You're listening to Clippers

206
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.519
Stock. I'm Adam Oslin coming up
here in her post game show. We'll

207
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.639
get to coach lou postgame audio and
we'll hear from the players and your phone

208
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.480
calls at eight six six to nine, eight seven two five seventy eight six

209
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.679
six nine eight seven two five seventy
as the phone number. I say it's

210
00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:24.159
a tough one because the Clippers were
down eleven in the first half. They

211
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.000
weren't playing well, especially in that
second quarter. They lost it by ten

212
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.360
and it looked like Boston had a
chance to run away with it. But

213
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:39.279
then the Clippers just shot themselves back
into the ballgame from three in the third

214
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:46.440
they would hit their first three three
pointers I think two from Marcus, one

215
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.480
from Paul George. Kawhi Leonard had
three three pointers in the game. That's

216
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.919
a really good sign from him.
Another efficient game against the Boston Celtics eleven

217
00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:00.879
of sixteen after going I want to
say ten of twelve the first time around

218
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.879
against him, he had twenty six
points. But the Clippers as a team

219
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:07.879
in that third quarter, after shooting
just thirty three percent in the first half

220
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:15.080
from distance, they went seven four
eleven from three after going seven of twenty

221
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:20.399
one in the first half, and
they led by one heading into that fourth

222
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:24.000
quarter. It was a Reggie Jackson
three, I should say, to start

223
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.240
things off, then Paul George,
then Marcus Morrison that third quarter. Then

224
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:33.399
it was another one from Marcus and
the Clippers were off in rolling and their

225
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:41.200
starters played the first eight minutes together
of the third and they beat up the

226
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:46.039
Boston starters and looked like the better
five out there. They were dominant to

227
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:52.360
get back in down eleven and we're
leading eighty five to eighty four heading into

228
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.559
the fourth. We knew Kauhai wouldn't
start the fourth quarter. He had already

229
00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:58.919
played thirty minutes, and he does
go for his season high of thirty seven

230
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:04.320
minutes. Played very good sign the
menu. The minutes continue to trickle upwards

231
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:08.679
for him. That's a good trend. So was his play out there in

232
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:15.759
his movement. But Paul George,
he stayed in. He ended up playing

233
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.279
forty minutes, I want to say, played the entire fourth quarter, and

234
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.159
he had nine for the Clippers in
that fourth and they don't have a chance

235
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.480
without him. Don't get me wrong, But the Clippers, after taking care

236
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:32.799
of the basketball in that third quarter
and Boston turning it over seven times in

237
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:37.320
the third after I think just two
in the first half, the Clippers had

238
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:41.679
five turnovers in the fourth, and
three of them or from Paul George.

239
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:47.320
Now, he made some tough shots
the end one reverse lay up, the

240
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:53.120
turnaround, fade away. He was
awesome overall, but Sometimes you look at

241
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:56.759
the Clippers, they have just thirteen
turnovers for the game. Sometimes it's not

242
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:03.079
the total, it's when they happen
opportune times. And I thought those self

243
00:17:03.160 --> 00:17:10.519
inflicted wounds really came back to haunt
them, especially the live ball turnover by

244
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:15.880
Paul George leading to that dunk by
Marcus Smart. At about I want to

245
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:22.200
say, it was the five minute
mark and the Clippers they had chances still

246
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:29.880
down ten and Kawhi comes back.
Here's what's kind of irking me. Just

247
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:36.400
some uncharacteristic things in the fourth quarter
that happened, some curious things. Kawhi

248
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:41.400
comes back in at the seven minute
mark of the fourth. The game at

249
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:48.880
that point is within three points.
It's one hundred ninety seven. After Paul

250
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:52.920
George just hit another jumper, Clippers
down three. He thought, okay,

251
00:17:53.160 --> 00:18:00.680
Kawhi's in, He's fresh. Here
he goes. His first shot in the

252
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:07.279
fourth comes at the two forty mark, over four minutes of play before he

253
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:12.359
takes his first shot. He made
it along too, but at that point

254
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.880
that was just to bring it to
within eight. The damage had already been

255
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:23.039
done. That bad pass from Paul
George, the Marcus Smart run out that

256
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:29.240
happened at the three thirty mark.
The Grant Williams just backbreaking three pointer,

257
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:32.640
maybe the biggest shot of the game. It was a five point game.

258
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:33.920
He hits the three, it's an
eight point game at one ten, one

259
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:37.799
h two with four minutes left.
That was huge. The Derek White and

260
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:45.039
one where the call winn against Kawhi
Leonard. That was big. And during

261
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:48.960
this time just really out of the
ordinary. Kawhi wasn't being that aggressive.

262
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:56.640
The guys who took shots during that
time now they had a couple of turnovers,

263
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.559
so they were losing possessions. Reggie
Jackson a three pointer, couldn't get

264
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.200
to go. Paul George did have
a layup. I'm assued he was good

265
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:10.119
in the fourth, but Marcus Morse
a three point inco all while Kawhi is

266
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:17.039
not getting him up. Another Reggie
miss from three before Kawhi Leonard takes a

267
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:22.240
shot in the fourth. Mind you, throughout most of the fourth quarter of

268
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:29.640
Visa Zubots who was mauling the Boston
Celtics in the third, he had seven

269
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:33.079
in the third, Marcus Morris had
eight, Kawai had seven, Paul George

270
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:34.640
had six points. When they made
that run to get back into it.

271
00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:41.279
Zubots was being fed while he's playing
next to Paul George and Kawhi Leonard.

272
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:47.960
They were finding him and looking for
him to exploit small ball matchups against the

273
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:52.279
Boston Celtics, and he did a
great job. But he doesn't get back

274
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:56.680
into the ball game till they're down
ten at one twelve to one oh two

275
00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:02.039
at the three oh five mark of
the fourth, and then a minute later

276
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:04.920
he's out again. And there's the
right call. I mean, Luke Kennard's

277
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.559
got to be in there. You're
down, you need another three point shooter.

278
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.319
But at the very end of the
game, and the Clippers didn't have

279
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:18.559
another time out because they challenge that
play with Norman Powell and the foul that

280
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.799
was called on him against Marcus Smarty
who looked like he pushed off of Powell.

281
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.000
But you know Celtics were at home
this time. They get the call

282
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:33.400
it, Scott Foster makes it and
the Clippers have three chances to get a

283
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:38.279
rebound at the end. They play
great defense down three one thirteen to one

284
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:44.920
ten with thirty seconds left, but
they couldn't get a board. Jason Tatum

285
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:51.960
an offensive rebound put it back up
Missus again, Jaylen Brown gets it and

286
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:55.640
eventually he gets fouled, and Jaylen
Brown, who had twelve of his twenty

287
00:20:55.720 --> 00:21:00.160
nine in the fourth quarter, would
knock down both free throws make it a

288
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:04.400
two possession game, and that was
all she wrote. Zoo wasn't in there

289
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:08.000
for that play because he had been
subbed out because then he had offense on

290
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:11.799
the other end with Luke Kennard,
who I mentioned things that you scratch your

291
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:15.440
head about in this one. Luke
Nard doesn't take a shot in seventeen minutes,

292
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.279
that doesn't make a shot, doesn't
take a shot. Oh for oh,

293
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:33.119
he was a plus four somehow playing
decoy and Boston is well aware of

294
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.480
how good about three point shooter he
is best in the league. But to

295
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.920
not get one shot up, it's
just confounding. So just a few different

296
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:45.039
things. Kawhi not taking a shot
for a while, Vita Zubos not being

297
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:48.680
in there in the fourth quarter,
Luke Kennard not getting shots up, and

298
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:56.279
being hunted early in the fourth defensively
by Jaylen Brown who went off. Nicholas

299
00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:02.319
Batoum also gets hurt early on comes
back plays valiantly but didn't look like himself.

300
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.000
He had a wide open three off
a driving kick from Paul George in

301
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:08.599
the fourth quarter with that quick release
that he couldn't get but turned the ankle

302
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:12.559
early. Reggie Jackson got hit in
the face, got a technical, was

303
00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:15.759
upset about it. I think it
was Marcus Smart who hit him with the

304
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.960
elbow. He went to the locker
room, came back played. He had

305
00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:23.200
a big shot in the fourth But
Nick Patum only plays eight minutes in this

306
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:27.359
game. Because of that, we
say it all the time. He's third

307
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:33.960
most important player likely on this Clippers
team. He is Clippers basketball and because

308
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.559
of the injury, he only plays
eight minutes, just two in the first

309
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:42.319
half. And I asked the question
on Twitter, so was Rocco gonna get

310
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:48.920
some run if Nicholas Patuma is hurt? Here? Never happened, and just

311
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:56.039
some curious things. Now. I
trust coach lou completely implicitly, and I

312
00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:03.400
do think Tinkering Tie the chiropractice wants
to see what he has when he goes

313
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:07.160
small with those guys like he did
for the most part in the fourth quarter

314
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:12.359
where he was running a line up
with PG Norm John Wall, Nick Batoum

315
00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:17.920
and Luke Kennard. Early on.
I actually thought John Wall had one of

316
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.599
his best games. He had eight
points, hit a couple of threes,

317
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:29.920
a big one, and four assists
to zero turnovers. And I was watching

318
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:34.359
him more closely because I do think
he's obviously been struggling in December, and

319
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:38.559
he was intent on driving and kicking
it out to shooters early and off,

320
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:41.519
and found Kawhi Leonard for a three
pointer in the first half right away,

321
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:47.000
and I saw him hesitate on a
three pointer. He was well guarded,

322
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:49.680
and then he drove and kicked it
out. That's what you want to see

323
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:53.480
from him. But the two we
made were catching him shoot threes. He's

324
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:56.200
got to make those shots if guys
are gonna leave him open. Robert Williams

325
00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:00.440
was playing him and playing way off
of him, and Robert Williams was also

326
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:06.160
a monster early in the fourth quarter. He really hurt the Clippers, but

327
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:12.000
Zoobots wasn't out there. So it's
a little bit of a frustrating loss,

328
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:15.000
even though it's to the best team
in the league record wise, and you

329
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:18.359
can say, oh, it's understandable. If they played each other in the

330
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:22.839
NBA Finals, it's going six or
seven. These games would be that close.

331
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:27.359
There were just some moves and some
decisions that I feel like the Clippers

332
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:33.880
don't normally make in that fourth quarter. Kawhi not being aggressive just rarely happens.

333
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:37.440
Just look at the first possession he
came in this season, as soon

334
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.680
as he got the ball in Game
one against the Lakers and went to the

335
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:47.119
mid range and sunk a jumper.
And there are a lot of positives because

336
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:51.759
of how good he's looked and how
good Paul George played for the most part

337
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:56.559
outside of those turnovers. But like
No Eagles said, when you're a team

338
00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:02.039
with championship aspirations, there aren't a
ton of mo World victories. Even when

339
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:06.839
you lose a close game where you
battle back multiple times in Boston against the

340
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:11.480
Celtics team that seems to have found
its footing again, you want the victory.

341
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:15.119
That's just the way it's going to
be. And now the Clippers closed

342
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:19.519
out the road trip in Indiana on
Saturday. Let's start things off with Javier

343
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:22.480
and Lahavard heights. Javier, what's
up? You're on Clipper stock without in

344
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:27.519
Aslin. What's up taking you're taking
my call? First thing is, you

345
00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:33.319
know the season starts and you look
at the calendar. You look at this

346
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:37.759
game and you probably think that might
lose this game, especially after what the

347
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:41.160
fourth game on this road trip,
so as a tough loss. They had

348
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.440
a chance at the end, but
you know it is what it is.

349
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:49.160
Next thing, real quick is Paul
George. I know he played well,

350
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:53.240
but you know what I noticed that
he's the turnovers. I mean, we

351
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:57.279
talked about this last year. He's
got to give all. He dribbles too

352
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:00.720
much. Sometimes I'm like, come
on, asked the ball. There's other

353
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.519
guys oping, but how many times
does he dribble the ball a lot and

354
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:07.960
then score? Because he's one of
the greatest isolation players of his generation.

355
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:12.079
He's that guy's gonna be some catch
and shoot guy. Of course he could

356
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:17.319
agreed for himself. Yeah, yeah, but he had guess what, he

357
00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:21.200
had four turnovers, But yeah,
he's just gotta work on that. Four's

358
00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:25.559
not even a terrible, terrible number. It's not great. But three of

359
00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:27.960
them came in that fourth quarter and
there was a tough offensive foul that was

360
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:30.720
called on him, and the fourth
the Clippers didn't get many breaks there.

361
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:36.400
Now you're a gre right on that
one. Next thing, you brought it

362
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:40.559
up about John Wags took the doors
out of my mouth. A pretty good

363
00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:45.160
game, eight points and the most
important thing was what zero turnovers. Yeah,

364
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:48.559
he was much more in control and
had a layup in the fourth quarter

365
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.720
they needed. He gave them good
minutes overall. Yeah, No, he

366
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.759
did. He did. And that's
why I remember the last time I called

367
00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:59.160
you the other day, I told
you John Wallas got to step it up

368
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.720
and the last thing we will kick. We got a lot of calls Luke

369
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:07.000
Canard, I mean zero for zero. I know you had a caller like

370
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:11.039
what two weeks ago saying that Luke
Nard needs to see a psychiatrist. I

371
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:15.319
think I think he's right. I
mean, you can play seventeen minutes at

372
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:18.799
him, seventeen minutes you don't pull
up one shot. Luke's gotta shoot the

373
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:23.079
ball. But that's it, Adam, I'll talk to you on Saturday.

374
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:26.599
Thank you for taking a call.
I appreciate it. Yeah, the Clippers

375
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:33.000
have a game where they hit fifteen
three pointers, go fifteen to thirty nine

376
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:37.400
thirty nine percent from the outside,
basically, and Luke Canard doesn't have one,

377
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:42.400
doesn't take one. That's what I'm
talking about. This is a bizarre

378
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:48.759
performance in some ways just because hot
and cold. Great third quarter. Clippers

379
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.640
win it by twelve, but then
lose the fourth quarter by seven points.

380
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:56.920
And I said on Twitter, you
know, if they're gonna win this game

381
00:27:57.039 --> 00:28:02.319
somehow, you'd expect Luke Kennard to
make a big three who just happened at

382
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:07.559
some point and they played small without
Zoobots for all. But I think a

383
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:11.240
minute and a half in the fourth
quarter after he had the great third quarter.

384
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:17.200
Now he played thirty minutes, but
he led them. Was a plus

385
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:22.920
ten out there. Who was dominant. He's been dominant. He's coming off

386
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:26.599
a big twenty two and sixteen game. I want to say Wednesday night,

387
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:30.440
he had a thirty one and twenty
nine game. And now the calls are

388
00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:33.680
coming in. Javier lit him up, Morris Lenny, mystery caller, We'll

389
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.079
get to you. Clippers losing,
Boston won sixteen to one. Ten.

390
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:42.920
They split the season series. Boston
gets the sweet revenge. I'm sure that's

391
00:28:42.920 --> 00:28:48.640
how they're feeling right now. Clippers
battled back down eleven and a half,

392
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:52.200
down ten late in the fourth quarter, had it to within three, couldn't

393
00:28:52.200 --> 00:29:00.359
get a board and Big Zoo wasn't
there. Still Nick Mattumoli plays eight minutes,

394
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.880
and they played well enough to win. They didn't play their best basketball,

395
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.519
they played well enough to win of
a couple of a couple of shots

396
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:11.599
were made, a couple of bounces
of basketball go their away, a few

397
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:15.759
calls. It was that close.
And I still think this team's ceiling is

398
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.759
so much higher than the way they
played today. Their potential is so much

399
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:23.279
higher. That's the good news.
More Clipper stock next Yarry five seventy,

400
00:29:23.359 --> 00:29:36.039
LA Sports George and Lenner running.
You're listening to La Clippers basketball. Clipper

401
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:40.960
puts it down plus the foul every
game all season long on their official home

402
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:56.480
Hey, well, let's exactly when
gave this alass got me a little hot?

403
00:29:57.160 --> 00:30:03.920
Clippers lose one sixteen one ten in
Boston to the Celtics. Welcome back

404
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:07.880
in the Clippers stock. I'm ata
Oslin eight six six nine eight seven two

405
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:11.200
seventy eight six six nine eight seven
two five seventy. There was an important

406
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:18.200
stretch early on. I mentioned Kawhi
Leonard, who overall played great, did

407
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:23.720
have three turnovers after having eight assists
to just one turnover Wednesday night in Toronto,

408
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:27.079
but was eleven of sixteen three of
six from distance, had twenty six

409
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:36.599
points plus eight boards, and may
have saved an early blowout opportunity from crushing

410
00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:40.440
them in Avalanche, from crushing them
from the Boston Celtics. In the first

411
00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:45.880
quarter. They got up nine Clippers, took a time out early in the

412
00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:52.920
first and Kawhi at a quick five
points, a three pointer, a push

413
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:59.880
shot over Jayalen Brown, and got
them right back into it quick when things

414
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.119
were teetering. There was some worry
there, and he had eleven points on

415
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:07.799
the first quarter. Kawhi, you
saw this when he was with Toronto,

416
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:12.880
just that refused to lose, find
a way to battle when it looks like

417
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:18.160
you need a big shot, when
you need a slump buster, when you

418
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.359
need to stem the tide, and
it looks like the floodgates could be opening

419
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:27.880
for the opposition. Typically Kauai then
raises up and hits a big shot,

420
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:34.000
a critical shot. That's why I'm
a little perplexed by the fact that when

421
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:38.279
he came back into the ball game
a three point game was seven minutes left,

422
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:45.359
he doesn't take a shot in the
fourth till the two forty mark.

423
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:52.079
That's just wild to me. Over
four minutes Kawhi Leonard doesn't take a shot.

424
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:56.559
Then when the game was hanging in
the balance. It doesn't happen often.

425
00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:00.960
It won't happen often. He's got
a body your work that speaks for

426
00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:07.559
itself. It was just a weird, wonky game in some ways. I

427
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:13.960
don't know how else to make of
a third quarter that the Clippers had where

428
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:17.599
they had their starting lineup running things, but then they go away from that

429
00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:22.720
in the fourth when Zoobots could have
been back into the game after a little

430
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:27.079
bit of rest, and it only
happened for about a minute minute and a

431
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:34.079
half, and basically when Kawai came
back in, they went starters minus Zubots

432
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:38.839
plus norm Now I'm not saying that
lineup can't work and won't work. It

433
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:46.599
most definitely will. But you saw
Horford out there this time for Boston,

434
00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:53.640
and Williams was back Robert Williams,
and then it comes down to the Clippers

435
00:32:53.720 --> 00:32:58.880
not being able to get a rebound
late. So it's just a tough loss

436
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:02.519
here from coach low coming up,
who I have all the faith in,

437
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:07.119
and look, he plays his cards
close to his chest. This is what

438
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:09.880
he does. Three D chess,
not chess, not checkers three D chess.

439
00:33:09.960 --> 00:33:15.880
That's what he does. And the
Clippers still have over forty games left,

440
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:20.920
forty five games left in the season, so he wants to find some

441
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:24.680
things out with lineups and that makes
sense to me. All right, but

442
00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:31.480
the Clippers lose by six in Boston. Let's go to Greg. Where were

443
00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:37.240
you calling from again? Newport Beach? Greg at Newport Beach, Long time

444
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:40.680
caller, Greg? What's up?
You're on Clipper stock? What's happening?

445
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:44.640
Man? First of all, let
me just say Merry Christmas to you and

446
00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:47.039
your family, Adam, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year.

447
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:51.519
Yeah, I won't say Happy New
Year till next week. But anyway,

448
00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:54.640
Man, listen, I am encouraged
by this game, bro, even though

449
00:33:54.680 --> 00:34:00.720
we lost, because the resiliency first
of all the Clippers, they man,

450
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:06.799
listen, you can never say never
with the Clippers. Man. I turned

451
00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:13.280
the game off the other night against
Detroit, went somewhere. So you said

452
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:17.159
never, you said never, You
said you can never say never. Never

453
00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:22.440
Listen. The Clippers was down with
fourteen, a couple of games to go

454
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:24.320
against Detroit. I thought the game
was over. Man came back and won

455
00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:30.519
the game tonight, losing that fourth
quarter, still had a chance to win

456
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:35.920
that game at the end, man
down one thirteen to one ten. But

457
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:38.440
I think Marcus Martis tried to go
to the hole and got his shot blocking

458
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:42.000
them. PG tried to go to
the home and got his shop blocked.

459
00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:45.599
But they had an opportunity to win
that game, man. And my whole

460
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:51.679
thing is this, Sometimes, Adams, you could have so much talent it

461
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.079
could be a curse. The Clippers
are loaded, man, they have a

462
00:34:54.239 --> 00:35:00.039
bench, they got a great starting
five. Sometimes I just I think Tyler

463
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:04.840
was just tinkering with things to see, like you said, what he really

464
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:10.440
has. But the Clippers are getting
there. The camaraderie, the chemistry,

465
00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:15.559
remember, and you know this best
of anybody because you host the show.

466
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:20.559
We've had so many people in and
out the lineup all year. But it's

467
00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:24.599
still early, and I see the
Clippers starting there. You know Kawhi especially.

468
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:29.679
I noticed Kawhi breathing hard a lot. He's getting into shape, man,

469
00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:32.039
He's getting into the shape. Legs
are getting underneath him. Now you

470
00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:37.280
see it with a three pointers starting
to fall. Yes, And the thing

471
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:42.840
is once the Clippers get completely and
I don't even think Reggie Jackson is healthy,

472
00:35:42.920 --> 00:35:45.679
man, because I pay attention to
him a lot in the game,

473
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:49.480
and I see him win in a
lot. Sometimes he's bending over and like

474
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:52.960
he's it's something. I don't think
he's one hundred percent yet he toughs it

475
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:54.280
out. He toughs it out.
But you're right. He was limping a

476
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:59.599
little bit today after he got hit
in the face too. Yes, exactly,

477
00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:05.800
he's about But what last thing,
adamses when the Clippers get easy body

478
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:10.039
healthy and on the same page,
watch out, brou watch out, it's

479
00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:13.960
gonna be. It's gonna be.
It's gonna be all and popping for the

480
00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:16.719
rest of the season if they can
stay healthy. All right, Greg,

481
00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:22.280
I'm with you. Look, there
are reasons. I have a good night,

482
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:23.400
man. I talked to you next
week. Thank you, Greg.

483
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:27.840
Sounds good, some good points there. He brought up the play with Derek

484
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:30.679
White blocking Paul George by the way
at the rim. You gotta tip your

485
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:35.159
cap on that one. That was
that was a fantastic play. Mentioning Kawhi

486
00:36:35.320 --> 00:36:37.480
Leonard though and his three point shooting. I said, look for that to

487
00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:43.800
come around as he gets his legs
underneath him, and going back his last

488
00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:49.199
five games now, He's eleven of
nineteen from the outside, so over fifty

489
00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:52.280
percent, shooting all of a sudden
from three and shot fifty percent in this

490
00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:57.199
one, three of six. Let's
go to Josh Colin and Sacramento. Josh,

491
00:36:57.239 --> 00:37:00.920
what's up here on Clippers stop without
Amslin? Hey you, Adam So.

492
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:02.960
I didn't see the game, but
I wanted to ask you a question

493
00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:08.079
regarding the Clippers roster in general.
I'll give you two sides of the coin,

494
00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:12.480
and he'll tell me which side do
you think? All right? All

495
00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:16.639
right, Josh? Okay, So
on one side of the coin. My

496
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:21.440
whole conundrum is about Rocco. I
see that he hasn't been getting minutes at

497
00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:25.519
all. We paid him for three
years this summer. So my question is

498
00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:32.280
if A is he gonna be playing
after the trade deadline? A ton and

499
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:37.159
I think we're gonna be trading Morris
because even Harkless was a better fit for

500
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:44.920
the starting five. Because that's not
that's not true. No, no,

501
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:47.440
no, Their net rating with Marcus
Morris and the starting five is absurd.

502
00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:52.920
He's been awesome next to Kawai and
Paul Joash Okay okay, so so let

503
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:55.920
me take that back. But I
do believe that. I believe that someone

504
00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:00.079
who doesn't take the ball out of
Kawai and Paul George's hands is off and

505
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:04.639
like Rocco or Batum would be.
But Marcus plays as a catch and shoot

506
00:38:04.719 --> 00:38:07.840
guy when he's on the court with
them. That's why he shot forty seven

507
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:12.559
percent from three two years ago next
to Kwai and Paul George got it okay,

508
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:15.440
So forgetting that. In general,
I believe Morris has gotten worse and

509
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:20.039
worse as a defender over the past
couple of years, and he seemed see

510
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:24.000
offensive players blow buy him every single
play. I do believe that Rocco is

511
00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:28.599
a better defender and Batum would be
a better defender. So are we trading

512
00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:30.440
either A? Are we going to
be trading Morris in the deadline and just

513
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:35.199
saving Roko for then? Or B
are we just trading Rocco? In general?

514
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:39.119
How many sides of the coin are
we talking about here? Josh having

515
00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:45.239
trouble keeping up with a thread?
Just two? Uh? Well, typically

516
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:50.159
don't like to talk about guys who
aren't traded and that are currently clippers and

517
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:52.000
tell you whether or not they're going
to be gone. I would not be

518
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:59.599
surprised by the way this front office
has gone about things with their process the

519
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:04.159
last few years and has surprised us
many times. But you can't be surprised

520
00:39:04.280 --> 00:39:07.159
much longer when they make a big
move when they trade a guy. And

521
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:12.400
I don't know what else to think
at this point with Robert Covington other than

522
00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:17.000
they're keeping him in bubble wrap because
he is a sought after player in this

523
00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:21.840
league and they could get a lot
for him because he's making I think twelve

524
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:28.519
million and is under contract for next
season. Two Marcus Morris, he's making

525
00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:32.840
more than that. He also has
this year in next year left on the

526
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:40.039
books and is a little bit older. I believe my guess is between those

527
00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:45.559
two and a mere coffee, at
least one of those three gets moved at

528
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:51.840
some point. No inside knowledge of
this, just reading tea leaves and seeing

529
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:55.800
guys that are out of the rotation. It could happen. But Marcus has

530
00:39:55.840 --> 00:40:01.079
been really good with the starting five. The Clippers play well with him,

531
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:07.239
and you talk about his defense.
Look in big moments in playoff games,

532
00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:14.719
Marcus gets up for those. I
think sometimes a players get older, the

533
00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:21.000
consistency isn't there, but they can
ratchet up that defensive intensity in big moments

534
00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:23.599
when you got to give maximum effort. So I think the ability and the

535
00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:28.920
skill is still there. Maybe you
don't see it as much consistently during the

536
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:34.039
long regular season, but there's a
difference between that and playoff basketball. Uh,

537
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:37.440
Lenny in Inglewood, Lenny, you're
on clipper stopping ATMs and what's up

538
00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:44.519
Yer? That's me to said that
about Kennard. And the reason why I've

539
00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:49.920
said that is because you know,
we didn't get Knarch for on ball to

540
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:52.559
be on ball stopper ball stopper.
We didn't get him run the offense.

541
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:59.679
I mean, did he get if
he's not shooting the ball, And I

542
00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:01.760
mean I'm not talking about making it, but if he's not shooting the ball,

543
00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:07.760
he's damn you're stealing money because that's
why he's there. He's the top

544
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:12.559
three point shooter in the league.
Well, let me say this one thing.

545
00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:15.039
I'll let you keep going here,
Lenny. But I do think there

546
00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:16.920
are times in Boston's very aware of
him. I want to say, he

547
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:21.559
went five of nine against them last
time out. They're a smart team.

548
00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:23.679
They try to run him off the
line, and there are times where he

549
00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:29.800
can be a decoy and get an
open shot for somebody else because he is

550
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:35.159
his gravity out there in the three
point line, his reputation. Okay,

551
00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:38.159
And with that in mind, just
let me say this, Man, when

552
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:43.320
you're trying to go for an NBA
championship, which I think is the hardest

553
00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:49.239
championship of all the three sports to
get because so many things have to go

554
00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:54.960
right in chemistry and you know,
you gotta dig down deep and you just

555
00:41:55.079 --> 00:41:59.760
gotta come. I mean, you
gotta beat like Maxillum Simmer. You just

556
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:02.800
you got to be a damn there
gangster to win an NBA championship. Man,

557
00:42:04.280 --> 00:42:08.679
it's hard, and it's like these
cats, he's gotta like I compare

558
00:42:08.679 --> 00:42:13.679
it like I said that the guys
from Strups, the Persian guy from the

559
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:16.920
Heat. He comes into the game, man undrafted. This dude, you

560
00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:22.320
ain't gonna tell him twice. I've
seen this guy play and he's pulling every

561
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:27.719
at the slipper daylight gunning, gunning. It's like, I don't even he

562
00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:32.440
don't Canard doesn't have to make U
ten shots. He's gotta take him.

563
00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:37.800
They they will fall. So it's
like I just don't know, man,

564
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:42.000
I'm almost just getting down because to
me, that is the one key to

565
00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:45.559
this run of a championship run.
We need him, We need him for

566
00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:49.440
a deep run. If he's gone
on for a deep run, I don't

567
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:52.079
see how we do it. I'm
serious. He's gotta he's gotta be on

568
00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:57.360
like popcorn for a deep if we
want to make a deep run as Clippers.

569
00:42:57.480 --> 00:43:00.400
So you know, yeah, this
is a this is a revenge game.

570
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:02.079
It would have been nice because they
would get it. They were gonna

571
00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:07.239
get it. But I'm really happy
that Kawahi is all the way. Kawhi

572
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:08.239
looks like he's back. I mean, I don't know what ye like you

573
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:12.199
said, he didn't take over towards
the end, but Kawai physically looks like

574
00:43:12.280 --> 00:43:15.440
he's back. PG is back,
Norm Powell is doing this thing. I

575
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:21.440
am concerned about rowqu I don't know
what that's about. But yeah, Kenard.

576
00:43:21.559 --> 00:43:24.280
Man, if if Canard is not
on, we we're not gonna make

577
00:43:24.320 --> 00:43:28.400
a deep run. They're just they're
just too many good teams, a good

578
00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:31.920
players out here, man who who
are just run. But I don't think

579
00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:35.719
they can win at all without him. I agree with you say, that's

580
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:38.440
that's right, that's that's exactly it, because he is that wild card man.

581
00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:42.719
Like you said, he comes in
and if he if he hits three

582
00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:45.400
or four, three's at crucial point. And the thing about it, what's

583
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:47.800
it's not even some other question because
I looked at the stats. He's shooting

584
00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:52.400
percentage goes up in the fourth quarter. He shoots fifty two percent in the

585
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:54.719
fourth quarter. So why ain't you
shooting? Man? Like I said,

586
00:43:54.719 --> 00:43:58.960
if you're not, if you're not
taking shots, you're damn you're stealing money.

587
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:01.559
So I just I just, you
know, I hope they can figure

588
00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:07.320
it out. But if he's not
on, like I said, I already

589
00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:10.840
said it, then you know,
go go Clippers. But I'm just disappointed

590
00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:15.159
this cat. We still have to
have his conversation about him. You're right,

591
00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:19.119
let's put it in perspective a little
bit. It is just one game.

592
00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:22.559
Overall, he's been much better in
that area, and he's only getting

593
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:28.119
better as a shooter. So yeah, here's the thing you talk about,

594
00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:31.760
Max Struss of the heat. I
don't know if you want him putting up

595
00:44:31.800 --> 00:44:37.760
ten shots because he's only shooting thirty
three percent from the outside. Luca nar

596
00:44:37.920 --> 00:44:43.920
Bean while is threatening a fifty fifty
nineties season, something only Steve Kurt did

597
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:47.320
back in the mid nineties with a
short and three point line. So it's

598
00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:52.599
a problem, but there are worse
things. They need to fix it.

599
00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:54.320
They need him to be more aggressive, they tell him all the time,

600
00:44:54.960 --> 00:44:59.519
and I'm sure this will be one
of those games that gets emphasized as hey,

601
00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:02.719
we need you, we need you
to at least put up five shots.

602
00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:09.559
Zero shot attempts is just it's baffling. Yeah, yeah, all right,

603
00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:13.440
I'm with you. I think all
Clipper nations with you. Luke is

604
00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:15.480
too good when he's on the floor, when the Tumba is on the floor,

605
00:45:15.559 --> 00:45:19.280
when Kauai is on the floor,
when Paul George's on the floor,

606
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:22.800
when any of those guys are out
there, you want them getting shots up.

607
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:27.079
They're all positives. Like those guys
play winning basketball all the time.

608
00:45:27.159 --> 00:45:30.360
And to be fair, Cannard was
still a plus four in a game they

609
00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:35.880
lost by six without taking a shot, which is applild. But so maybe

610
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:37.840
the decoy stuff worked to some extent. I'm not sure. Letty, I

611
00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:42.840
appreciate the phone call well here from
coach Luke coming up. Clippers lose one

612
00:45:42.960 --> 00:45:45.719
sixteen to one ten in Boston to
the Celtics. We'll get back to your

613
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:49.880
phone calls coming up at eight six
six nine eight seven two five seventy eight

614
00:45:50.000 --> 00:45:53.119
six sixty nine eight seven two five
seventy is the phone number. Not that

615
00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:59.519
I always trust the plus minus in
single game sample sizes, Like I was

616
00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:07.000
looking at the first quarter after Kawhi
Leonard scores five straight, they're down by

617
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:10.840
nine and he rips off five straight. And then after the first quarter where

618
00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:15.119
the Clippers are down one, somehow
Kawhi leonards a minus four even though he

619
00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:19.519
scored eleven points for them. The
plus minus over a season, over a

620
00:46:19.599 --> 00:46:22.000
month or two, yeah, I
think it's helpful. Sometimes in game it

621
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:25.440
doesn't tell the story or just going
off the sample size of one game.

622
00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:29.239
Coach lose. Coming up in just
a bit, we'll take a quick time

623
00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:34.639
out here on Clippers Talk on AM
five seventy sports. They know, did

624
00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:38.119
I son must face don't want to
grow out? So I smoked jesting face.

625
00:46:39.199 --> 00:46:43.320
She's say, did I grow below
the waist? And the stroke is

626
00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:47.199
just so pg I got it.
George and Leonard running. You're listening to

627
00:46:47.599 --> 00:46:53.119
LA Clippers basketball up. Clipper puts
it down plus the foul every game all

628
00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:59.320
season long on their official hole.
My overall message tonight, Clippers lose by

629
00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:02.079
six to the best team in the
league record wise, and the Celtics with

630
00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:07.039
some outliers, Kauai not taking a
shot for over four minutes when he comes

631
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:08.920
backing in the fourth, Zoo only
playing a minute and a half, and

632
00:47:08.960 --> 00:47:13.400
the fourth but toomb only playing eight
minutes because he got hurt, and then

633
00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:17.599
Luke Nard not taking a shot.
That's my central points tonight. But let's

634
00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:22.679
hear from the head coach who can
actually drop some knowledge here for you guys.

635
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:25.280
Here was coach Lou after the Clippers
losing Boston won sixteen to one ten.

636
00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:30.800
It was a little tougher, you
know, especially with their length when

637
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:32.800
you know both of those guys are
playing, and so it did a good

638
00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:37.199
job of just you know, trying
to clog up the pain coming to help

639
00:47:37.320 --> 00:47:39.400
late. And I just thought after
the first half, we just didn't do

640
00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:43.039
a good jup attack and just reading, reading what we had in front of

641
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:45.639
us, and so it was coming
out, you know, with different matchups,

642
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:47.079
and we would get the stacked like
worrying about who's guarding who instead of

643
00:47:47.239 --> 00:47:51.679
just you know, just running an
offense and attack who want to attack afterwards?

644
00:47:51.719 --> 00:47:52.960
And so we talked about after the
first game. It did that.

645
00:47:53.119 --> 00:47:55.239
You know, in the first game
we just putting guys on different guys.

646
00:47:55.320 --> 00:47:58.920
It kind of you know, mess
you up coming out of timeouts. But

647
00:47:59.239 --> 00:48:00.440
in that second half probably like what
we did. I thought we did a

648
00:48:00.519 --> 00:48:04.000
good job of getting to the pain, you know, attacking the basket,

649
00:48:04.119 --> 00:48:06.920
making the right play, and so
we had our chances. But you know,

650
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:09.119
a really good fighting at second half. Yeah, coming up the time

651
00:48:09.159 --> 00:48:13.440
out to leave the first half,
think of four straight tromps to paint for

652
00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:15.159
meeting at the time. I was
at in emphasis right now and Mary,

653
00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:19.079
stop worrying about the matches. Yeah, it was the inphatis at halftime,

654
00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:21.360
just just attack and if we do, you know, just run our sets

655
00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:23.199
and whatever we got, no matter
who's on who, and then we want

656
00:48:23.199 --> 00:48:24.880
to get to the matchup. We
can get to it at the end of

657
00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:28.159
the shot clock. And I thought
we did a good job in the second

658
00:48:28.159 --> 00:48:30.440
half. We just recognized that getting
to it. We wanted to get to

659
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:37.719
What did you make over early on
just sort of white sufficient CEO on as

660
00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:39.400
a moment, just the way there
was two guys, I thought he did

661
00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:43.000
a good job. I thought,
you know, once we didn't handle the

662
00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:46.360
U double teams well like we normally
do the double teams on the post ups

663
00:48:46.400 --> 00:48:50.159
to fires. I thought the second
half we did a way better job of

664
00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:52.000
of you know, handling what they
was trying to do to us. You're

665
00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:54.840
something we gotta continue to keep working
on. You know, we haven't been

666
00:48:54.960 --> 00:48:58.719
whole like this for two years.
Kawhis and been back. He hasn't played

667
00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:00.360
and those types of situation you know, in a while, and so we

668
00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:02.800
just gotta get better at that.
But I thought, like I said,

669
00:49:02.800 --> 00:49:06.719
starting Mark did a good job,
but just mixing it up sometimes switching,

670
00:49:06.800 --> 00:49:09.159
sometimes showing, sometimes blitzing. And
he did a good job over there on

671
00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:13.800
the sideline. And so you know
he caused by surprise on a couple of

672
00:49:13.840 --> 00:49:16.280
those that we wasn't ready for.
And so you know, did you gotta

673
00:49:16.280 --> 00:49:19.360
go back to the drawing board and
continue to keep getting better with that.

674
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:22.960
We're less more and more. There's
been pumpensive nights have been hard. We

675
00:49:23.079 --> 00:49:27.119
talked about splitzing and firing for you
guys also a little bit and be honestly

676
00:49:27.400 --> 00:49:30.480
added so much quiet Tete is that
a matter of those guys making their decisions

677
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:34.000
when guys are rushing at him or
the other three guys on the board,

678
00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:37.559
a combination of both. Just making
a simple paths and the first guy that's

679
00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:39.000
open, you know, not trying
to skip it across the floor. And

680
00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:43.320
then we are getting trapidy firing.
We gotta make sure the other guys make

681
00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:45.320
themselves available, and so just you
don't keep working on us. So we've

682
00:49:45.320 --> 00:49:47.679
been working on for a while,
but just keep working on that, you

683
00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:50.920
know, so we can pick teams
apart when he want to double team us.

684
00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:58.599
There was coach Loopho's game. Clippers
lose one sixteen to one ten in

685
00:49:58.760 --> 00:50:02.639
Boston to the Celtics. We'll close
things out next in preview Saturday's game in

686
00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:08.400
Indiana right here on Clipper stock on
AM by seventy LA Sports. Lets you

687
00:50:08.440 --> 00:50:12.880
need to be thankful for the life
you've got, George and Lena running.

688
00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:16.800
You're listening to LA Clippers basketball out
It Up Top clip puts it down plus

689
00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:23.559
the foul every game all season long
on their official home Clippers with some uncharacteristic

690
00:50:23.639 --> 00:50:28.000
mistakes late, they lose one sixteen
to one ten in Boston to the Celtics.

691
00:50:28.119 --> 00:50:31.599
Morris close us out quickly here tonight
on Clipper Stock. I'm gonna tell

692
00:50:31.599 --> 00:50:36.239
you something. If a team beat
the Clippers by twenty point, the next

693
00:50:36.280 --> 00:50:38.679
time the Clippers played that team,
I bet you they beat that team.

694
00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:42.920
And that's what happened to night,
Adam. I'll see in this game,

695
00:50:43.239 --> 00:50:45.280
all right, Morris, good phone
called Boston got their revenge. This time

696
00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:50.800
could be a finals preview. Eventually, we wouldn't mind that at all.

697
00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:54.760
