WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:05.759 Parents. Man is pure once again, he's Clippers Talk. I got calls 2 00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:11.480 on Clippers Talk, immediate reaction and analysis to today's game. That's what he's 3 00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:17.320 capable of, hosted by your pre and post game boys of the LA Clippers, 4 00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:24.199 Adam Osler. Well, one team wearing the silver and black was victorious 5 00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:29.440 today and unfortunately it wasn't San Antonio Spurs, who beat your Los Angeles Clippers 6 00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.560 by a final score of one all one to ninety four in San Antonio. 7 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:37.640 Welcome in to Clippers Talk. I'm atam Oslin. Eight six six nine eight 8 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:43.280 seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the 9 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.679 phone number coming up. We're gonna hear from the head coach on Toron Lou 10 00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:53.000 and Sergio Baca. But this was another game, and it's been the story 11 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.920 all season long. Clippers a bottom five offense. But man, when they 12 00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:02.960 have needed points, like in the fourth quarter where they had a lead, 13 00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:07.200 they led by as many as five, but then they just went unbelievably ice 14 00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.879 cold. In the last seven minutes and twenty three seconds, the Clippers scored 15 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.879 two points. That's hard to say. It's hard to get out, hard 16 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:21.680 to wrap your head around after Sir Gebaka hit a hook shot at the end 17 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.120 of the shot. Clock was seven minutes and twenty four seconds left. The 18 00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:30.359 Clippers had just two more points in the fourth. They would come on a 19 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.760 really well executed inbounds play from Reggie Jackson to Terrence Man for the easy layup. 20 00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.200 But that came with about four minutes left. And how was it? 21 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.480 I was with four eighteen left, Clippers were up ninety four to ninety three 22 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:47.879 San Antonio. With then they would score the next eight points. They win 23 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.879 one oh one to ninety four, and things aren't getting any easier for the 24 00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.680 Clippers as they have a stretch coming up after Monday where they go on the 25 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:02.719 road for eight straight eight games. We told you January was going to be 26 00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:08.280 tough. We knew it was, but that makes taking down a team like 27 00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.400 the San Antonio Spurs that granted they still have Greg Popovich, but they were 28 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.400 fifteen and twenty seven coming into this one. And if you were going to 29 00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:21.319 circle and cross off what could be victories for the Clippers during this month of 30 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.080 January, you would have thought they could have got a victory against San Antonio. 31 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:30.840 It makes Monday's game even more important against the Indiana Pacers back in downtown 32 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:37.639 Los Angeles. That is an afternoons start on MLK Day twelve thirty tip against 33 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:42.039 Indiana. We'll have your pregame show starting an eleven thirty. Clippers in the 34 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:46.560 first half had led twenty two to twenty one after the first quarter, but 35 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:51.560 they went four minutes scoreless at the end of the first and it carried over 36 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:57.719 into the second where they scored one point in the stretch of eight minutes. 37 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.400 So let's calculate that that means they also went seven minutes I was scoring just 38 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:08.120 two points. They went fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes and thirty seconds of game 39 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:17.000 time tonight, where they scored a total of three points during over fifteen minutes 40 00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:23.159 of on court time. That is brutal. That is hard to watch. 41 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:28.000 It's hard to fathom, and I think there's just too many guys that have 42 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.280 run out of gas due to their rules being increased. Reggie Jackson would be 43 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:36.439 one of those guys. Three of fourteen seven points. Marcus Morris was okay, 44 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.960 but he had a couple of bad turnovers in the fourth quarter when he 45 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:46.159 got doubled. Six of seventeen fifteen points and those turnovers came in bunches. 46 00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:53.719 In the last five minutes, Eric Bledsoe missed a layup and then had an 47 00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:59.159 offensive foul. He was three for eleven, was seven points. Yeah, 48 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.319 there were some bright spot I thought Serge Ibacco was one of them. End 49 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.400 of the third quarter, hit two three pointers in the span of two minutes. 50 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:10.879 Clippers were down by five heading into the fourth. Hit a couple of 51 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:15.680 more buckets in that fourth quarter, and really his energy was huge. He 52 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.120 had seven offensive rebounds. The Clippers had twenty one as a team. I 53 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:23.399 believe that's a season high. It still gave up fifteen to San Antonio, 54 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:28.680 but and both teams had fifty four rebounds overall. But I thought Serge fought, 55 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.639 battled, and from the end of the third till seven minute mark of 56 00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:36.560 the fourth, that was one of the best stints he's played all season long. 57 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:41.319 A mere coffee in that third quarter some of the best basketball he has 58 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.040 played all Right, we could say that over the last two weeks. I 59 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.759 believe in three of the last four games now, a mere coffee has led 60 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.959 the Clippers and scoring. You can say that's maybe a positive and a negative. 61 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.439 It tells you the state of the team right now, because he hasn't 62 00:04:55.439 --> 00:05:00.920 gone from more than twenty one during that time. He was very good in 63 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:06.399 that third quarter and he was facilitating and right he only had one assists in 64 00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:11.000 the ball game, but five boards, twenty points on seven or thirteen shooting 65 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:15.199 with four three pointers made, and I'm pulling it up a game log now 66 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.959 because i want to confirm that. Yes, in three of the Clippers last 67 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:24.839 four games where he had first twenty one points against Atlanta, then eighteen points 68 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:30.040 against Denver that was a team high, and tonight with his twenty also a 69 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.839 team high this time though it comes in a loss. The other two games 70 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.639 that were able to win obviously, the twenty five point come back against Denver, 71 00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:44.439 but Clippers not exactly treading water right now. They're two games under five 72 00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.319 hundred and things. I'm telling you are going to get tougher this month. 73 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:51.800 Now. Isaiah Hartenstein was back, gave them a little bit of a lift, 74 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:56.800 but he only played six minutes. He had six points in six minutes 75 00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:02.079 in that second quarter early on two floaters. An encouraging signs there. They 76 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:09.199 need him, they need him healthy, they need him to play obviously a 77 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.560 lot longer than six minutes. But it's understandable. He missed the last thirteen 78 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.519 games for them with that right ankle sprain, and I think he's toughen it 79 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:20.600 out right now. Quite honestly, I think he's probably playing through some pain 80 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:25.800 because he knows they need him his energy. There are certain guys with certain 81 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.759 motors that we have seen on this Clippers team the last three years. He's 82 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:31.959 one of them. But before that, it was Pat Bev it was Montrez 83 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.120 Harrold, and I used to say this all the time with Patrick Beverley. 84 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:41.639 The beauty of his game, more so than the defense, it was the 85 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:47.879 intangible of just that competitive streak within him where he could turn a regular game 86 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:55.959 during an a two game season into a playoff type atmosphere because the edge he 87 00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.439 would play with out there and other guys would follow his lead. And maybe 88 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:05.079 they're missing some of that. I don't know, because lately, defensively it 89 00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:09.240 kind of comes and goes. They gave up a thirty five spot in that 90 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.879 second quarter, twenty nine points in the third quarter. Now they helped San 91 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:17.199 Antonio to sixteen in the fourth. Problem was Clippers only scored fourteen and they 92 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:23.360 were down by five entering the period, so they haven't been as consistent there. 93 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.600 Hopefully Isaiah Hartenstein can fix some of what ails them with the rebounding, 94 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.160 even though he didn't have one in this game. And maybe Iron Sharpen's iron 95 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:36.040 competition is a good thing. Is it a coincidence that Serge Ibacca plays this 96 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:41.319 well with Isaiah Hartenstein's first game with his first game back. Maybe not. 97 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:44.800 You can light a fire under a guy because you don't want to lose minutes. 98 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:49.519 And Serge was awesome Abaca. He had nine boards himself, six points, 99 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:54.600 just played twenty one minutes. Reggie Jackson, though, continues to struggle 100 00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:58.600 three or fourteen. He's been shooting about thirty percent over the last couple of 101 00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:03.040 weeks. Outside of that he had against Denver, and it was a spectacular 102 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.160 run on that fourth quarter with eleven points, hitting big shot after big shot 103 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.199 to come back down twenty five and to bring the Clippers back and across the 104 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.360 finish line. Outside that, he just hasn't looked like himself at all. 105 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.680 And when Eric Bledsoe also has a tough night, you see the result. 106 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:24.720 Clipper scored just ninety four after scoring just eighty nine Thursday in New Orleans after 107 00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:31.480 scoring just eighty seven Tuesday night against the Denver Nuggets, and they held eighty 108 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:33.559 five in that one. But san Antonio, look, they only scored one 109 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:39.000 hundred one points. The defense was good enough offensively, you can't go over 110 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:45.480 fifteen minutes of game time and scored just three points and win a ball game. 111 00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:50.120 It's just it's too difficult, especially the timing of those. They had 112 00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.919 some momentum in the first they gave it away at the end of the first 113 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.360 quarter when they went cold, and then obviously seven minutes and twenty three seconds 114 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.360 where they scored just two points. At the end of this game, san 115 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.600 Antonio pulls away with it. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy 116 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:09.519 Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number before we 117 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.519 break. We'll take a quick phone call, taking it to the bottom of 118 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:16.799 the hour. Morris in Long Beach, Morris here on Clippers stop without a 119 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.480 Moss on that for they lose one on one to ninety four in San Antonio. 120 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.440 Him Morris, well, it happens, my brother, they beat us 121 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.200 last time. Missing the name of the game I believe is going to be 122 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.360 the ten day contracts. Folks is going to be the team of the organization 123 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.200 that is successful with these ten day contracts, because nobody's getting the pass on 124 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:39.840 this stuff. The guys that are the organizations that are successful recruiting guys on 125 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.759 the ten day contracts. That's what's gonna keep above water because we're suffering right 126 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.960 now. We're suffering right now. It looks pretty bad when we have for 127 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.600 thirty eight thirty nine more games ago, but it's gonna get everybody at him. 128 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:52.879 And I wish they could could score more points. They got this guy 129 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.519 over in Philadelphia, just sitting over there on his button getting paid. We 130 00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:01.000 work something out with him about I don't know if he's the offensive solution, 131 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.360 Morris. I gotta say, I don't know if Ben Simmons is gonna fix 132 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:11.399 things there. And I like Ben Simmons, don't get me wrong. Uh, 133 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:13.399 Look, they just need to get healthy, Morris. We know that 134 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.639 they're going deep into their bench right now trying to look for anyone. And 135 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:22.519 I thought Brandon Boston gave them some decent minutes. He had four points early 136 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.559 in the fourth quarter, and Terence Man, well he only had six points, 137 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:28.399 but just two of the Clippers, well, the last two points for 138 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.720 the Clippers. They just didn't get enough. If they get Luke Nard back, 139 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.279 that would be huge for them. When you're talking about scoring, you 140 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:37.960 better believe it. I'll talk to you next time. Man. All right, 141 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.559 more appreciate the phone call. We'll take a quick break. Clippers lose 142 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:50.879 one on one to ninety four, and San Antonio we'll update you on the 143 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:56.600 Western Conference standings. I tell you how bunched up they are. Slipper's not 144 00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:01.600 the only team lose on tonight. Money getting Let me tell you, yeah, 145 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.000 I'm not. The score can be a lot more lopside than one on 146 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:11.000 one to ninety four. That's all I'm gonna say. More. Clipper stop 147 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:15.799 next to get into the pain or die trying. We'll see if Coach Flew 148 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:20.679 reiterates his philosophies. Pull out postgame audio from him and Sergerbacca right here on 149 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.480 Clippers Stop on AM five seven La spots. He took me I your mama 150 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:30.080 picking him mans. I'm on the next snivel white link booget bezil bins to 151 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:35.200 the meadow out of in the ticket, this is LA Clippers basketball quarter three 152 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.080 for the time he got it. This is the official hole of your LA 153 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:52.320 Clippers, we have the five, then we call it downright light white Clippings. 154 00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:58.039 Clippers score just two points in the final seven minutes. They lose by 155 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:03.039 seven. Let's Saint Antonio one oh one to ninety four to Furst open back 156 00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:07.759 into Clippers stock. I met i'm oslin. Eight six six nine eight seven 157 00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:13.200 two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone 158 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:18.960 number. Clippers currently sitting in that eight spot in the Western Conference. That 159 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.799 means play in tournament. Now right in front of them, it would be 160 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:26.679 a team that is Kevin Figures would say, got molly wapped tonight. They 161 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:33.320 Los Angeles Lakers lost by thirty seven. In Denver. Clippers got their own 162 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.960 problems, but things could be worse. Lakers in front of them in that 163 00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:41.759 seventh spot. Denver in front of them by two games in the sixth spot. 164 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:48.240 So that's kind of that area where you're trying to climb out of the 165 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.960 play in and make it into a secure seed. Because one through six they 166 00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.480 all make the playoffs. Seven through ten, they got to fight for it. 167 00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.759 Clippers. I thought there was some fight. I thought there was some 168 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:05.320 effort out there. I highlighted some of those guys earlier, Serge Isaiah Hartenstein 169 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:11.960 a mere coffee. They just couldn't hit shots whatsoever, and they had bad 170 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:16.039 turnovers late. And then I'll do yet. So let's hear from the head 171 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.039 coach. After the Clippers lose one on one to ninety four, here was 172 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.240 coach Lou post game speaking with the media. I means it's a loss. 173 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.960 I mean we played get don't have to win the game, and just we 174 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.440 can't. You know, we just couldn't score in the basketball. Had too 175 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.440 many six seven minute stretches when we didn't score the basketball. So when you 176 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.000 playing the defensively we did, I thought it was pretty solid defensively, got 177 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:37.360 some good shots. Offensive we just did we didn't make. And then I 178 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:43.000 thought down a stretch we struggle. We just wouldn't the size of them what 179 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.240 we wanted to do, you know, as far as attacking get into the 180 00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:48.840 basketball, we're supposed to do. But I mean, you know, like 181 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:50.480 I said, it was a good fight. They made more players down to 182 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:56.960 stretch than we did. I mean, you say, effort, What what 183 00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:03.320 was that you said? You said effort, that's for the freest key. 184 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:07.360 Basically, you know, bringing that sixteen point lead down there. No, 185 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.360 I thought we scored the ball in that second quarter, I ain't that third 186 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.840 quarter, you know, scoring thirty three points in that second quarter, which 187 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:20.399 guys back in the game, but you know wasn't enough. You have just 188 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.759 think we have to go through too many spurts where we just don't score the 189 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:24.360 basketball. So we had to got to get to the free throw line. 190 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.320 You know, we got to score two points, and we weren't able to 191 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:30.639 do that tonight. Like I said, they got to the line twenty seven 192 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.039 times and we was only able to get there eight times, So that hurt 193 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.159 us. That's been a problem all years, even when Paul, you're getting 194 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:41.159 to the free throw line, like I know you said before. The only 195 00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:48.440 thing you can do about that if the team doing that enough. And what 196 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.679 do they need to do to get there more often? I think just keep 197 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.320 attacking on closeouts. I think, you know, when teams are helping heavier 198 00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:00.320 than they we swing it flow past attacking the basket. And I we went 199 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.360 there enough tonight when we didn't get the calls that we you know, thought 200 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:05.919 we should have got. But they was aggressive getting to the basket. You 201 00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:07.879 know, that's how they play. They love to live in the paint. 202 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.840 And like I said, they had twenty seven free throws and we only had 203 00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:18.039 eight. Went into the decision too small because it's also they closed small as 204 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:24.840 well and actually say, oh that's the n just a switch defensively, So 205 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:35.240 it was just really work defensive purpose at all. Yeah, nothing hard said 206 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.919 that you either got to get up the free throw line or you gotta spot 207 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:41.200 some point. Do you feel that the teams that time of becoming dumber, 208 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.000 Well, I think we just gotta take the defense gives us. You know, 209 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.679 I think we make we make a conscious effort to get to the paint 210 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:50.159 and get to the basket. They take that away. Then we got to 211 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.679 make the right play in the right pass, and so I thought we try 212 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.279 to attack getting to the basket. You know, they're heavy, you know, 213 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.639 shrink team. There are no paint, so they took that away. 214 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.360 You know, we didn't make shots early in their first half, and then 215 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:06.720 the second half, I thought we started to make some shots. You know, 216 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.399 I thought a mirror opened that game up for us a little bit and 217 00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:12.000 started as will you know, making a couple of threes. So look, 218 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.639 I thought we played the right way trying to get into the paint, trying 219 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.639 to make the right play, and we didn't make shots early, and then 220 00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:19.759 we did in the third quarter, was able to get back in the game. 221 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:26.360 There was coach Loup post game after the Clippers lose one oh one to 222 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.799 ninety four in San Antonio. So we bring up them going scoreless in the 223 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.919 last four minutes in eighteen seconds, and I got this for our friend Joey 224 00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:41.200 Lynn from si Now on Twitter from that moment on Clippers up ninety four to 225 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:48.080 ninety two, four eighteen left coffee, miss Morris, turnover, Morris turnover, 226 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.000 but tune turnover, blood cell, miss blood cell, turnover, Morris, 227 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:56.200 miss Reggie miss Clippers lose one on one and anty four. So pretty 228 00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:00.240 clear cut way to put it. Coming up next, we'll get back to 229 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:04.359 your phone calls. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the 230 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:07.400 phone number. I'm at a Maslin and you're listening to Clipper stuff here on 231 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:11.440 the M five seventy alay sports. I gotta get it rill down because of 232 00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:21.400 the one that just saved me. Hey, I don't take that chance, 233 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:26.000 she swears in going to leave the wish. She thinks the shutting up my 234 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:33.160 tree wish. This is LA Clippers basketball quarter three for the time he got 235 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:38.160 it. This is the official home of your LA Clippers. Got a hit, 236 00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.480 boy, because I got out of hits? What got that? Drick? 237 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.839 You got a chick? I mean on my lone mouse? Drick? 238 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:49.160 No chill got that rapp to pay your bills? Yeah, I'm on some 239 00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:53.160 rappers pay my bills. Clippers lose one on one to ninety four in San 240 00:17:53.279 --> 00:18:02.119 Antonio to the Spurs. So after they go over seven minutes and score just 241 00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:06.559 two points to end the game in the fourth quarter, welcome back in the 242 00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:11.039 Clipper stock. I'm at a Moslin. The offensive woes continue. I'm here 243 00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:14.160 to talk about it. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight 244 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:18.559 six six nine eight seven two five seventy tags and walnut. You're on Clipper 245 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:23.599 stock without a Maslin high tages. Hey, what's up at I'm I'm not 246 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:27.480 gonna lie that that loss was a little deflating. Now we're gonna pull that 247 00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:33.599 out when we're up five. But h who an't talk to you about two 248 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:38.039 things? One? Does it seem like, uh with the tarting lineup, 249 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:42.720 we're kind of missing a playmaker. It's like a lot more evident when Paul 250 00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:48.400 George went out. You see the struggles with Reggie Jackson, and I just 251 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.039 think he's a much better player when he's not always having to create, and 252 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:56.359 when he gets the ball and they're receiving end and when the defense is kind 253 00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.240 of on skates, is able to kind of really you know, make his 254 00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.960 mark. He does it at times it's right now being a playmaker, but 255 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:11.039 I don't think that's his calling right now, and it's not his strength. 256 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.279 A lot of guys are playing outside their comfort zone and trying to make it 257 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:19.319 work because as you mentioned Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, and we knew Kawhi 258 00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:23.039 was going to be there coming into the season at least, but Paul George 259 00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:29.400 even he had more on his plate because no Kawhi in the playmaking department. 260 00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:36.200 And so then you put that responsibility on him and everybody knows the ball is 261 00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:37.720 going to be in his hands a lot, and then you take that away 262 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:42.559 too. And it's no surprise that the Clippers have struggled this much with their 263 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:49.039 ball movement and they had fifteen turnovers leading to seventeen points. Yeah, and 264 00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:53.559 you know, when they're not hitting their shots and transition, it's going to 265 00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:57.079 be a really difficult game to win the way that their half court offense is 266 00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:00.880 going to right now, so many games it seems like their half court offense 267 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:04.960 when they're passing the ball, they end up shooting a contested shot a lot 268 00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:10.160 of the times, and they're not having that space that they're generally, you 269 00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:12.079 know, used to, and that's again, you know, product of not 270 00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:18.359 having PG and Kauai. But in which kind of you know, I would 271 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.680 have liked to see Xavier Moon. I'm not saying he's the answer, but 272 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:26.039 you know, for three or four minutes he I would have liked to see 273 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:27.240 him. He does have a good feel for the game. I feel like 274 00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:32.400 he just gives them a different look where he speeds the game up. He 275 00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:34.839 can create the tempo and get some you know, open looks for some of 276 00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:41.559 these guys to make it easier. That's one thing. And the other thing 277 00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:47.279 I would I was going to ask you when Luke Canard comes back, do 278 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:52.519 you imagine that I'm your coffee will stay in the starting lineup because he's been 279 00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.160 playing really well and I don't know if there's any need to take him out. 280 00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:02.920 And I think Luke Anart had a good, you know, chemistry with 281 00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:10.000 Man, so I don't know. I kind of like having Luke Nark come 282 00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:15.319 off the bench to give that punch. But what do you think, Dave, 283 00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:18.319 just thank you for the phone call. I think it's likely maybe it'll 284 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:25.839 be matchup dependent because Luke was playing really well starting with the offense. That 285 00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:30.319 floor spacing was there and helped the Clippers and their offense get off to better 286 00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.000 starts. But he also works well and that's the good thing with the lit 287 00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:38.079 crew with Luke, Isaiah and Terrence Man, and I could see those three 288 00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:44.680 providing that spark once again off the bench with the second unit. I was 289 00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:47.920 a little bit surprised that Xavier Moon didn't get a run in this game. 290 00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:51.640 I mean, Jay scrub was out there, We saw him, although he 291 00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:56.519 wasn't overly effective Thursday night, who was against the Pelicans or even win in 292 00:21:56.599 --> 00:22:02.880 Gabriel. But look, Coach Lou, I wonder if part of it was 293 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:07.119 saying, okay, he took out the starters early against New Orleans when the 294 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:10.680 Clippers are down by nineteen in the first quarter and went deep into his bench, 295 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:14.240 and I wonder if this was an opportunity for them to get more minutes 296 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:18.920 and prove themselves and make up for what happened Thursday night. Obviously it didn't 297 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:22.799 work out that way, but Marcus Morris played thirty seven minutes, played heavy 298 00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:27.920 minutes out there and at times looked very good. But with he and Reggie 299 00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:33.160 in a bit of a funk the last week or so, Reggie and extended 300 00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:37.519 shooting slump right now, it's gonna be tough to win ballgames for this team. 301 00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:40.680 Those are the two top guys right now. That's the way it is, 302 00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:44.720 option a, option one, a one, however you want to put 303 00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:48.920 it. Those are the two top scores, and if they're not leading them, 304 00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:52.599 if they're not being overly effective, it makes it tough for everybody else. 305 00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:56.839 Unfortunately, Clippers lose one on one to ninety four and sent Antonio, 306 00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:02.279 we'll take a quick break, we'll come back. We'll preview Monday's game afternoon 307 00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:07.160 contest on MLK Day on Monday, Clippers back and down town Los Angeles taken 308 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:12.440 on the Indiana Pacers twelve thirty tip time, eleven thirty pre game. Clippers 309 00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:17.400 losers of two in a row now and called by seven in San Antonio. 310 00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:19.680 This is Clipper stock. I'm at a Maslin and you're listening to Amy seventy 311 00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:30.640 Sports. Yo, hope. This is LA Clippers basketball corner three for the 312 00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:36.000 time he got it. This is the official home of your LA Clippers. 313 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:41.400 Many offendial this barn. Clippers go three sixteen from the field in the final 314 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.400 nine minutes and they lose one on one to ninety four in San Antonio. 315 00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:52.759 Welcome back into Clipper Stock. I'm at a Maslin. Clippers next game coming 316 00:23:52.920 --> 00:24:00.759 up Monday back in town town, Los Angeles against the Indiana Pacers. I 317 00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.039 thought this was interesting. I see this from Andrew Griffe of the La Times 318 00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:10.680 does great covers for the LA Times with the Clippers Clippers and one hundred plus 319 00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:15.200 shots and twenty one plus offensive rebounds. Well, those are good numbers. 320 00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:19.680 In fact, teams this season when they achieve those goals in those categories, 321 00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:23.839 when you get up that made shots, when you gather that may offensive rebounds, 322 00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:30.920 teams were six in two entering tonight. Now they're six in three after 323 00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.480 the Clippers lose, even though they ended up with one hundred field goal attempts 324 00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:40.880 twenty one offensive rebounds. And Andrew Gryf, also speaking with a Mere Coffee 325 00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:44.359 post game, said, to paraphrase a Mere Coffee, he felt the Clippers 326 00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:48.920 took good shots despite their long scoring draughts, but when it wasn't working, 327 00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.759 he was it was because of the same things Nicholas Batoum talked about earlier this 328 00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:57.240 week. The ball wasn't moving side to side. You gotta have that Ariana 329 00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:03.799 grande side to side ball, you just do. Clippers, they weren't playing 330 00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.079 hot potato. They weren't sharing the sugar enough, and they paid for it 331 00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.799 late, not generating enough open looks. The last seven minutes and twenty three 332 00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:18.319 seconds they scored just two points. Almost seems impossible. I double checked it. 333 00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:22.279 It's true. Clippers lose by seven in San Antonio. I gotta figure 334 00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:29.519 things out quickly because the road ahead is a treacherous one. They have a 335 00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:34.240 home game coming up Monday, MLK Day.
