WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:06.040 Time for a postgame. Look, it's your LA Clippers. This is Clippers 2 00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:09.800 Locker Road, brought to you by Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of 3 00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:14.919 the LA Clippers, and by Patchonga, official travel casino of the LA Clippers, 4 00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:19.120 breaking down today's action with the pre and post game voice. If you're 5 00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:25.359 LA Clippers, they're locking in every game every night. Adam Osland, Well, 6 00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:29.160 one of the most confounding losses of the season. Really, it would 7 00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:32.479 be for any team. But unfortunately, as for your Los Angeles Clippers tonight 8 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:37.960 is they lose to the Atlanta Hawks one ten to ninety three, and sadly 9 00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:41.679 it wasn't even that close. They were down by as many as twenty nine 10 00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:47.600 in the ballgame and they lose a pivotal one. Considering where the standings are 11 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.920 at currently, we'll update you on those coming up. We'll have Clippers Talk 12 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.479 on a FI seventy LA Sports eight six six ninety seven two five seventy if 13 00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.759 you'd like to get on early. But first back to your radio voice of 14 00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:03.679 the Clippers in Carlo Jimenez. Carlo has just looked like this team wasn't ready 15 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.799 to play tonight. Kawhi Leonard was in that first quarter, he had seventeen 16 00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.480 points, and yet they were still down two heading into the second and that's 17 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:15.000 where things really turned for the worst for this Clippers team. Yeah, I 18 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.760 mean, I thought Atlanta was excellent on the offensive last They had six offensive 19 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.200 rebounds in that first quarter. They were aggressive early, they turned the Clippers 20 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.000 over, they got out in transition. They really controlled the flow of this 21 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.359 offense from from jump to finish, and the Clippers weren't able to move the 22 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.680 basketball a lot. Nine assists in the first half, eight in the second 23 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.120 half. There's just no rhythm or flow. And there was the double teaming 24 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.159 of James Harden. It was packing the paint and the Clippers could never string 25 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.239 together some points. They had a seven to er run early in that fourth 26 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.079 quarter, but I believe that was the only run of the ball game for 27 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.120 the Clippers. So, Adam, I think this is one where you know, 28 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.079 TYLERU talks about how he flushes the tape on bad losses. He says, 29 00:01:57.120 --> 00:01:59.840 we watch film on the wins about the bad things we do. We 30 00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:01.760 don't watch film on the losses. I don't think this is one where you 31 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.879 have to watch film on There's a lot of things you need to do well. 32 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.039 You don't need to watch the film to see that. But the shooting 33 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.120 and the ball moving on the offense, man, honestly, that's what concerns 34 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.319 me the most. I think that's one thing the Clippers can work on well. 35 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.360 But that's what The defensive effort I don't think was that bad in this 36 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:21.039 one. I mean, Atlanta came in averaging one hundred and twenty points. 37 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.000 That got to one ten. They took their foot off the gas late, 38 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.360 yes, but I think the Clippers were still good on that end. It 39 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:29.800 was the offense that just wasn't there. No, that's a great point, 40 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:31.800 and it just looked like there was a lot of russ to be knocked off 41 00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:36.439 from James Harden out there. He started to find himself a little bit in 42 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:38.319 the fourth quarter, but it was too little, too late. After starting 43 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.479 I believe, zero for seven from the field. He had some assists, 44 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.319 he was one of the few guys generating them. But the Clippers weren't getting 45 00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:51.360 any good looks for the most part through the first three quarters of this ball 46 00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.719 game. Just no easy shots that they typically get out of high pick and 47 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.159 roll out of the Clippers just running their offense and getting two feet in the 48 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:01.560 paint. We talked about it early on, but you have to draw two. 49 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.439 You have to draw two defenders and then get them in rotation. And 50 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.680 this Clippers team, you know, Atlanta was switching everything and they were comfortable 51 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:14.360 doing that and going up against the Clippers who were playing too much ISO ball 52 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.680 with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Granted they are great at it, but 53 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:21.039 it's tough to win a ballgame when you're not getting the others involved and you're 54 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.000 not able to knock them down from three. In fact, they had a 55 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:29.599 season load twenty eight made shots in this ballgame and their second lowest fuel goal 56 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:34.080 percentage in the ballgame, also a season low. As you brought up Carlo 57 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:38.719 just seventeen assists for the Clippers tonight. Yeah, it was a game. 58 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.560 I mean you talked about points in the paint. The Clippers shot two shots 59 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:46.240 in the paint the entire third quarter, and yeah, they got to the 60 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:47.439 free throw line of lot So I think there was more than that, right, 61 00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:51.280 because you shoot eleven free throws, so you got fouled, you go 62 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.280 into the rim. But still, I mean to have that kind of numbers 63 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.000 for an entire quarter. This is a team that thrives, that not only 64 00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.520 thrives, but survives off paint touches at them. They need to get to 65 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.039 the paint. If they don't win the battle of the paint, they struggle 66 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:08.800 because recently three point shooting has just been unreliant for this Clippers team, and 67 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:13.000 so you have to attack the interior of defenses, and the Clippers didn't do 68 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:17.480 that very efficiently in this one. You know they're gonna have games like these, 69 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:23.079 but I feel like at some point we got to see the fight for 70 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.800 forty eight minutes. Like you might lose games where you shoot thirty percent, 71 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.279 where you turn the ball over, but are you fighting for forty eight minutes? 72 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:31.839 I think that's gonna be the calling card for this Clippers team. You 73 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:36.959 go up to Portland twice, if there's anybody you want to play in any 74 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:42.279 place with a game rest, I mean, the schedule is lining up for 75 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.600 them to find a rhythm. They have to take advantage of that opportunity. 76 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:50.439 Fifteen games left in the regular season, and the Clippers right now are just 77 00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:55.279 hanging on to that four spot, which means home court in the first round. 78 00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:00.000 They're in a precarious position because the Pelicans have the tiebreaker against them now 79 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.800 after that win over the Clippers in New Orleans on Friday night. Something else 80 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:05.639 that has been a little bit of an alarming theme is just you know, 81 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:11.000 we heard recently before the game in Chicago over the past week that they were 82 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.839 going to try to get a Vitza Zubats more involved. He attempted just one 83 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.120 shot tonight, and when their offense has been stalling out, to me, 84 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.079 that's a guy who can bail you out and try to get some easy buckets 85 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:26.279 and get some points in the paint. And they just continually don't use a 86 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.360 Vita Zubas to the best of his capabilities. Was just surprising considering James Harden 87 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.319 was back tonight and they have been such a good combo a tandem for this 88 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.519 Clippers team for two months straight when they had the best offense in the league. 89 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:40.959 Those two guys were really the ones getting things started. And I think 90 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.720 that's been the difference post Grammy road trip. You talked about it in the 91 00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.600 break, but when you double team James Harden and Harden has to swing to 92 00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:50.920 the next highest guy on the wing, the Clippers aren't like Zubots disappears. 93 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:55.199 If he doesn't get the pass off the pick and roll, He's almost not 94 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.800 an option for this team. You'd love to see him rescreen get Georgian Zubats 95 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:00.920 in the pick and roll, Leonard and Zumos pick and roll because those pick 96 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.040 and rolls with Zoo have been so effective. But when teams double, the 97 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:08.160 Clippers kind of throw it away. It's the first option of their set and 98 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.480 then there's not looked towards it. Again. You mentioned one field goal today 99 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.120 he shot. He went to the free throw line two times, which means 100 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:18.839 a total of three shots in this ballgame. You hope of eats zoo Bots 101 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.959 gets more involved than he needs to, because look, Portland's not a walk 102 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.680 in the park. DeAndre Ayden has been playing well for them recently. The 103 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.079 Clippers need to make sure they're at their best when they go into Portland. 104 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:32.759 I thought you really miss Norman Palell in this one, Adam. I mean 105 00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.879 his ability to be consistent as of late, Norm coming into this game had 106 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:41.879 been averaging seventeen points in his last thirteen games, and he's an automatic seventeen 107 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.360 off the bench the last three weeks for the Clippers, And you lose that, 108 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:49.079 and there wasn't much spark off the bench. Coffee Highland, Tucker all 109 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:53.160 kind of struggled in this game. They had the only eight points off the 110 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.639 bench for the majority of the ballgame for the Clippers. Meanwhile, Atlanta's bench 111 00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.839 poured in forty points. So we're gonna hope for a speedy recovery for norm 112 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:02.759 Clippers though. This is their final two game stretch of rats. So you 113 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.439 want to build a rhythm. You're gonna be playing every other day, and 114 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:09.360 now is the time to build that rhythm. Clippers get two days off, 115 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:14.040 then they are in Portland. That will be on Wednesday. Tip time from 116 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:18.319 Portlandia's at seven. We'll have your pregame show starting at six. Carlo Amenaz, 117 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:21.120 great call. As always, We'll talk to you from Portland from Motor 118 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:27.720 Center on Wednesday. See the Clippers can get some roses in the city in 119 00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.680 the Rose City. Okay, okay, I like it. I like it. 120 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.600 Shout up, Brian, please cookies Clippers looking a bounce back. I 121 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:39.439 be bringing the cookies tonight. Still some positives. Clippers lose one ten to 122 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:43.959 ninety three. Here at home at crypto dot Com Arena to the Atlanta Hawks. 123 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.759 More Clippers postgame coming up next right here on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio 124 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:51.839 Network, the LA Clippers continue their hunt for a Lario b. They still 125 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:56.279 want to get that Lario be. Don't miss a moment all season long. 126 00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:01.639 This is the LA Clippers Audio Network. Not enough from Bones Highland Busy Bones 127 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:07.879 tonight four from the field, just two points. Clippers lose big at home 128 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.959 to the Atlanta Hawks, one ten to ninety three. Welcome in your postgame 129 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.279 show. I'm Adam Oslin. Well, we have a moment. Let's pause 130 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:18.040 ten seconds for station I identification. Here on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network. 131 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:24.360 This is LA Clippers Basketball AM five seventy KLAC Los Angeles, ninety eight 132 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:31.600 seven KYSR HD two Los Angeles and iHeartRadio Station. How do you only end 133 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.399 up with ninety three points? Well, you shoot thirty seven percent from the 134 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.679 field. It was their second lowest field goal percentage in the game this season. 135 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:46.639 They only made twenty eight shots. That was their lowest when it came 136 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:52.159 to made shots on the year. Clippers out rebounded by five. Both teams 137 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.080 ended up with sixteen turnovers, but Atlanta got a little bit sloppy in the 138 00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.720 fourth. But here's the difference. You can line these up. Hawks give 139 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.039 up sixteen turnovers, the Clippers turning that into eighteen points. The Clippers give 140 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:11.879 up sixteen turnovers the Hawks turned into twenty six points, and they had twenty 141 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.600 fast breakpoints at the half. They ended up with thirty one fast breakpoints. 142 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.399 It was just pretty unbelievable. Almost thirty or points coming in the fast break. 143 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:28.440 That cannot happen Clippers giving up easy ones. But to me, more 144 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.159 so in the defense, it was what they weren't able to do on offense 145 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.960 and outside it gets to the free throw line. In the second half, 146 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.240 to me, it just looked like a team that was going through the motions 147 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.799 playing isoball, wasn't intent on trying to get to the basket, wasn't putting 148 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.120 out that level of effort to get downhill, to draw two defenders, to 149 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:56.759 get to some mismatches. They just acted like, we can beat this team 150 00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:01.799 straight up with our C or D game tonight. Because of where Atlanta is 151 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:07.840 at tenth in the standings in the Eastern Conference, in the fringe of being 152 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.360 out of the play in tournament, looks like they'll be in it. But 153 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.559 they didn't have Trey Young, They've been beat up, they had lost three 154 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:22.759 in a row, and the Clippers still were down by twenty nine in a 155 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:30.039 game and just look lifeless, lethargic, listless. It is the worst loss 156 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.639 of the season considering where we're at with fifteen games left. I think that's 157 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:41.559 a given now, like that's plain and simple and obvious to everyone. It 158 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:43.879 might be one of the worst losses, if not the worst loss in the 159 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.039 two and three era, if I'm being frank with you, if I'm being 160 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.159 completely honest, and I will try to be coming up on Clippers Talk eight 161 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.919 sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two 162 00:10:54.919 --> 00:11:00.840 five seventy still got one more segment here on your national shows. The Clippers 163 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.799 get twenty eight from Kawhi, twenty six from Paul George. Nobody else was 164 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.279 in double figures, and those two guys, I would say, still didn't 165 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:11.000 play well. They were able to get that because of how talented they are, 166 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:16.720 not because they were working within the offense much. Clippers lose one ten 167 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.360 to ninety three to the Hawks. Here at Crypto, which is fifteen games 168 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.039 left in the regular season.

You would like to think that's a great opportunity for the Clippers 179 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:16.919 figure things out. But we thought that coming into this game after the loss 180 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:20.200 they had to the Pelicans, where they had a lot more fight against a 181 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:26.639 much more talented team than what we saw tonight against the tenth seed in the 182 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.879 Eastern Conference in the Atlanta Hawks, where the Clippers lose one ten to ninety 183 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:35.240 three and trail by twenty nine.

The Clippers lose one ten to ninety three here 197 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:43.200 at home on Saint Patti's what it feels like right now.

Welcome in to Clippers Talk. I'm Adam Oslin to eight six six 204 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.799 nine eight seven two five seventy eight sixty six ninety seven two five seventy. 205 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:16.159 You can also get to me at follow Adam a on X. Some people 206 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:24.080 have some people I'd rather not have have tough one Clipper Nation, And by 207 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:31.919 tough, I mean this is bottom of the barrel, rock bottom, as 208 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.519 bad as things could be right now for your Los Angeles Clippers, with is 209 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:43.639 fifteen games remaining before the playoffs, which is why I would categorize this as 210 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:48.759 their worst loss of the season. I'd say this stretch of losing four of 211 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.279 their last five worse than losing six in a row when there's still seventy games 212 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.759 left like they did and eventually turn things around to now get back to a 213 00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:01.919 point where it looks like guys are completely unfamiliar with one another, like they 214 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:07.759 have no idea how to run their offense. James harden Returns looked like a 215 00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:13.799 shell of himself. Tonight started zero for seven, finally got some buckets to 216 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:20.000 go in the fourth quarter, but didn't look right. I don't know if 217 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.200 it's health related. I don't know if it's rhythm related. I know the 218 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:30.600 Clips couldn't find a rhythm offensively at all, and it's because they took themselves 219 00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:35.559 out of that possibility when you just go one on one, when you think 220 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:43.120 you can beat a team just on talent and you don't have to outwork them, 221 00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.200 and you don't have to adhere to your principles and your philosophy and your 222 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.879 drive kickswing mentality, and instead you go, hey, get to Kawhi. 223 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:54.679 Let's see what happens. He can get us a bucket quiet seventeen in the 224 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.720 first quarter. Great, they were still down to the warning signs were there. 225 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:07.600 Ear Kawhi finished with twenty eight individuals. While being a superstar League still 226 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:14.600 have to play within an offense. I don't care who you're playing. It 227 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:21.519 was Atlanta tonight, and the Clippers played down to their competition completely. Sure 228 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:25.600 Atlanta has been better post All Star Break, literally better than the Clippers. 229 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.960 They look at net rating, their defense coming into this one was thirteenth, 230 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.559 the Clippers was twenty fifth. They give up ninety three points to your Los 231 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:40.639 Angeles Slippers. They just were switching and guarding and staying in front of their 232 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.799 man, and the Clippers were making it far too easy for that to happen. 233 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:51.519 James Harden eventually started to attack later on and had some success, too 234 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:55.159 little, too late. How do you get down twenty nine at home to 235 00:16:55.159 --> 00:17:04.880 the Atlanta Hawks? Confounding, perplexing, bafling, and inexcusable at this point 236 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:10.720 in the season. How can it not be You're trying to win a championship. 237 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.920 Let's remember what the goal was supposed to be. Are they building championship 238 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:22.480 habits? No? In fact, it looked like, if anything, all 239 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.599 the bad habits that they had built over the last month or so throughout a 240 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:30.799 lot of this season, with having a lack of effort out there, energy, 241 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:40.359 spirit, scheme, game plan, discipline, it looked like it all 242 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:47.000 peaked at once. James Harden didn't look good. Bones Highland didn't look good. 243 00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:52.920 Both are starting point guards. Bones was zero for four, and while 244 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:57.920 they initiate things and get them into their offense, other guys weren't cutting hard, 245 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.119 weren't moving playing with pace within the half court. It's not like you 246 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:06.440 have to get up and down and run all the time. You just have 247 00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:11.400 to get into your sets faster. The Clippers are elite when they do so 248 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:12.960 within the first twelve seconds of the shot clock, and they're one of the 249 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:15.519 worst teams in the league when they do it the last twelve seconds of the 250 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:21.720 shot clock, a shot clock that was not broken tonight. No excuse is 251 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:26.799 there, like the Lakers could say they had last night here against Golden State, 252 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:33.079 the Clippers offense looked broken. I don't even know what I was watching. 253 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:40.920 It almost like a team that didn't like each other, doesn't want to 254 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:44.759 play together. I don't think that's the case. I don't think they have 255 00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:48.559 any locker room chemistry issues. They all wanted to bring in James Harden. 256 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:57.440 It was working spectacularly. He misses the last two games, and they played 257 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:03.640 harder than those. After the loss of Minnesota very disappointing. They bounced back 258 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.039 against Chicago. Granted, they shot fifty percent from three, which is becoming 259 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:14.640 too much of an outlier because coming into this one after the Grammy road trip, 260 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:18.839 last seventeen games under thirty six percent about thirty five point eight percent from 261 00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:26.079 three. They're still second overall, which does tell you how good they were 262 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:30.839 for a sustained stretch of time from the outside. But there's a reason they're 263 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:33.160 probably not getting as many open threes now as they were before. They're not 264 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.880 generating enough good shots. And yeah, maybe some shooting variants in there too, 265 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:45.799 but tonight eleven of thirty six thirty percent from three another bad shooting game. 266 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:51.720 But it just looked like they felt like, uh, we'll put them 267 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:56.240 up in one on one situations and we're more talented. Eventually, talent will 268 00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:02.240 overcome. Cohi said it after a win against Detroit that they were getting by 269 00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:07.720 too much on talent and not enough on execution, and the Chickens have come 270 00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:15.240 home to roost on their lack of execution and building up those good habits so 271 00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.200 that you do have something to fall back on when shots aren't falling, when 272 00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.160 guys don't have it that night, you're still playing hard, you're still running 273 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:30.640 your stuff. The Clippers, oh, this was an offense stuck in mud, 274 00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:40.480 quicksand just nasty flow out there. I predict coach Lou will use that 275 00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:45.160 word nasty to talk about their lack of flow offensively. We'll hear from him 276 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:48.680 in a little bit. But let's start things off with a call, Javier 277 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.240 in the Lobber Heights. You can start things off tonight here in Clippers stock 278 00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:55.279 since you called in the fourth quarter, Javier, what's up? Well, 279 00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:56.920 what's up? No? I called them a third quarter. I'm not just 280 00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:00.440 stand corrected. I can't get anything right tonight. This Clipper team couldn't either, 281 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:06.920 you know what. I just I think they're they're just I don't know 282 00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:11.240 there. Remember I called after the uh, the Timberworks game last week and 283 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.640 I said, man, they look old. And today again they look old. 284 00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:18.680 Here's my problem with that. Here's my problem. I'm not saying they 285 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:23.599 aren't an older team, that's just factual. But how did they look younger 286 00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:27.880 later in the game, when all of a sudden they started to move faster, 287 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:30.960 when they felt like there was an opening to maybe come back and pull 288 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:36.319 off another crazy Clippers come back down by twenty plus. Sure seemed like it 289 00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:41.640 was more about effort than just looking old. Yeah, But by then, 290 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:44.319 like you said, they were already down what twenty something, and there was 291 00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:47.960 already a oh it was too late. I'm just saying, if you're old, 292 00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.079 you shouldn't be able to play faster later in the game. You should 293 00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:56.720 be more tired then, right, So I think it's an effort issue. 294 00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.519 It's a spirit issue with this team. So, I mean at this point, 295 00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.440 and it's like, like we talked last night, I mean, if 296 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.279 it's not the if it's not Ty Lou, then I guess it's the players. 297 00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:11.599 They're just they just turned him off. And when usually I mentioned earlier 298 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:18.279 that Kawhi had set this statement. What look after the Detroit game that they're 299 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:21.839 just from they're just way off talent. That means that they're not executing in 300 00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:26.000 an offense. I don't know, Coach Lou is not getting through, but 301 00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:30.400 it just it just it just seems they're way off and it's just sad. 302 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:33.559 Just what you said. Fifteen games left, I mean, they could go 303 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.240 all the way to what the fifth seed, sixth seed, I mean from 304 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.599 being a one seed, Adam, when was that game but a month ago? 305 00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:47.160 Through a one seed into this, I mean, this is it all 306 00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:51.799 happened after the Grammy road trip paper, they're eight and ten. Since then, 307 00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.039 after going six and one on that road trip, getting way up, 308 00:22:55.559 --> 00:23:00.160 riding all those emotions of playing great basketball, and it's just fallen apart. 309 00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.279 It was like they thought that was the end of the year or something. 310 00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:08.160 Let's peak on this Grammy road trip and then we can coast the rest of 311 00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:15.119 the way. That's how it feels sometimes. They're inconsistencies from game to game 312 00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:19.480 have become inconsistencies from quarter to quarter, from possession to possession. Bad habits 313 00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:25.079 beget bad habits. It's just, I don't know any other way to put 314 00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:30.240 it. They're compounding the fact that they're playing this bad basketball, this late 315 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:34.279 into the season, and it's all bad habits. I just saw a quote 316 00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:37.799 from Kawhi Leonard. I appreciate the phone call Avier as always, my friend. 317 00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:44.200 He said, it's between the ears with us. I mean, that's 318 00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:47.880 as true of a statement as it gets. The talents there, Kawhi said, 319 00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:52.279 guys are saying the right things, just time to do it. I 320 00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:57.839 think this team has had an issue with being too comfortable being down, and 321 00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:03.279 their greatest strength, that resilience when you're down by twenty, has turned to 322 00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.160 a weakness because they just expect to be able to come back sometimes, so 323 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:12.880 they sleep walking the ball games, take the first quarter off, and just 324 00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:18.440 expect that magic to always happen, because it has thirteen times more than any 325 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.279 other team. They've come back by twenty plus going back to twenty nineteen. 326 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:26.599 But that's not what championships do. They also put their throat on the opposition 327 00:24:27.799 --> 00:24:33.359 they finished teams if they played as hard as they did against the Pelicans. 328 00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:37.000 Tonight against the Atlanta Hawks, the Clippers likely win this game at twenty. 329 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:40.480 No disrespect to the Hawks, but that's what they're at on the season without 330 00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:45.960 Trey Young right now. They used to have no business being up twenty nine 331 00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.160 on the Clippers in a game here at Crypto. We'll take a quick quick 332 00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:51.640 time out. We'll get back to your phone calls eight sixty six nine eat 333 00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:56.319 seven two five seventy eight sixty six nine eat seven two five seventy. You're 334 00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:00.759 listening to clipperstock after they lose one ten to ninety three here at home to 335 00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:03.519 the Atlanta Hawks, and the Pelicans are nipping out their heels for the four 336 00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:11.240 spot. This is a five to seven LA Sports. The LA Clippers continue 337 00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:15.000 their hunt for a laryob They still want to get that LARRYO. B don't 338 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.839 miss a moment all season long. This is the La Clippers Audio Network. 339 00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:25.839 Yeah, not enough move tonight by the Clippers offense. They lose hear at 340 00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:30.279 home at Crypto dot Com Arena to the Atlanta Hawks one ten to ninety three 341 00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:40.200 in a game they were down by twenty nine in They mounted uh somewhat of 342 00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:44.599 a comeback late, but it would come up way short. It was far 343 00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:48.799 too late for that to happen. They started to play harder to Kawhi Learn's 344 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.400 point post game, saying, it's between the years. You could see it 345 00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:56.160 out there. All of a sudden, the Clippers had the right demeanor, 346 00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:02.440 need that to start game. But at what point do you say, this 347 00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:07.400 is who they are with fifteen games left. At what point do you say, 348 00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:11.279 how do you build good habits with just fifteen games left? How do 349 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:14.960 you build good habits get out of these bad ones? Just with a full 350 00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:21.920 reversal after a season's worth of inconsistent play, granted two months of amazing basketball, 351 00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:25.200 the best basketball we've seen in the regular season by a Clippers team, 352 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:32.799 can they get back to that? Maybe the talent is there. I do 353 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:41.359 think they can, but it's gonna take a mind shift, her mentality shift. 354 00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:47.519 I don't coach Lou has been saying all the right things. I don't 355 00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:51.519 know why the message is not being received by the Clippers currently. Let's hear 356 00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:52.839 from what do we got? Who do we got? Who do we got? 357 00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:57.440 Sean and Inglewood? Sean, what's up here on clipperstock? Well? 358 00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:02.519 Some of the things I noticed about that game, and good to talk to 359 00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:10.519 you, Adam. First quarter, the Hawks had about seven offensive rebounds, 360 00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:15.440 and so they know what, They're the best team in the league at offensive 361 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:18.480 rebounds, which is the Clippers one of their biggest weaknesses. So I'm not 362 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:22.720 I wasn't that surprised. We talked about in the pregame. It's still bad, 363 00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:26.720 Okay. So what I was trying to say, there were times when 364 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:32.000 the Clippers didn't even put a body on a guy. Yeah, and you're 365 00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:40.799 going to get that from guys that are actually wings and not exactly really power 366 00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:45.680 forwards, the Sinners, because their mentality would not always be, hey, 367 00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:49.200 I need to put a body on a guy. And so John is a 368 00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:56.599 problem. Let me finish, I get the agenda, let me finish let 369 00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:03.039 me finish and I'll shut up. I did the teams against the big teams 370 00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:11.720 this year. The Clippers are five and sixteen against all of the teams with 371 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.960 big lineups, the big playing two guys that could be sinners. Now, 372 00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:19.720 give me, give me a couple of those teams. Give me a couple 373 00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:23.680 of those three one and three against the Lakers, one and three against Minnesota. 374 00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:27.240 Okay, one and one against the Celtics, on two against the Bucks, 375 00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:30.640 the Celtics, one and three. Do you think the Celtics are that 376 00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:34.839 big? You think the Celtics are that big? Two guys that are said 377 00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:41.559 the side they have the side don't start with me. They don't start for 378 00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:49.319 Horford together. Sometimes they do, but all no, they're one and three 379 00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:55.519 against So you're saying. What you are saying, Sean, is they're bad 380 00:28:55.559 --> 00:29:00.720 against the best team in the league, even though they beat Boston or of 381 00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:03.279 those games they didn't have worzingis fair enough. But they were one and one 382 00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:07.880 against Boston. I admitted that, but that for the most part. But 383 00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:12.880 you're just naming good teams for the most part, right that play b on 384 00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:18.160 one against Cleveland the same thing as a good team. Oh, we're too 385 00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:22.920 small for them. That's what Tyler said. Okay, so seriously, at 386 00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:27.279 some point, it's not working. It's just not working, this small ball 387 00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:30.960 and that's what that's why they lost tonight. It had nothing to do with 388 00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:34.559 the Clippers not running their offense whatsoever, Sean. Is because they didn't play 389 00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:38.960 too big. I agree with everything you said. They were lack of days 390 00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:44.400 ago. They weren't hitting the shots and seems like they didn't care all right, 391 00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:47.799 or they just was kind of melding it in. I agreed. So 392 00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:52.039 why don't we start with that stuff? Is what I'm saying. I think 393 00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:56.119 that is where the turnaround starts. Not playing Mason Plumbley next to a Viza 394 00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:02.000 Zubot so they clog up the plant paint and can't do anything offensively. I 395 00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:06.079 tell you what, They's not a recipe for success, Sean, it's not. 396 00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:11.039 They can't beat these teams. They cannot beat They should have had somebody 397 00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:14.519 better than Plumbly. They didn't. They didn't engineer the team right, and 398 00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:18.440 they can't beat these teams in the playoffs, no way. They're headed for 399 00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:25.119 the first round knockout. They really are well because they're just not playing well. 400 00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:27.480 Not necessarily because teams are just bigger than them, like they're just not 401 00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:32.680 playing well. It seem like it seemed like when they went twenty six and 402 00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:37.160 five, Sean over thirty one games, they could beat anybody. So I'm 403 00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.119 not just gonna say it's a personnel issue or a strategy issue. I appreciate 404 00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:45.960 the phone call. Mark and Hinson Beach never change Sean, Mark, what's 405 00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:51.119 up? How's it going at them? I agree with everything you said, 406 00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:55.480 and on Sean's thing, the one thing you kind of forgot is we haven't 407 00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:59.480 been a full force year. And not to blame you know, injuries or 408 00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:02.559 anything like that, but you know, one of the downfalls of this game, 409 00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:03.319 and I agree with you it was one of the worst, if not 410 00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:07.440 z words is you're when you don't score for ten minutes from the third into 411 00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:11.759 the fourth, you're not gonna win too many games unless you've got a fifty 412 00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:15.799 point lead to begin with. But you know, not having Westbrook out there, 413 00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:18.839 not having Norman Poll I think was one of the key factors tonight. 414 00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:25.680 And no one stepped up. Bones Island didn't, the other guys Coffee didn't 415 00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:27.079 have a good night. You need someone to step up when one of your 416 00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:30.440 good bench guys, I mean our bench scored what eight points? Again, 417 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:34.319 you're not gonna win the game with a combination of everything. And like you 418 00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:40.200 said, Leonard and Paul George can't do it all, especially with you know, 419 00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:41.400 this is one of the times where the coach can coach, but you 420 00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:45.960 can't make the basketballs going to the hoop. The players have got to, 421 00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:47.960 you know, learn it. I don't know, maybe we need to go 422 00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:52.319 back to our spring training here or summer camp, and maybe he should have 423 00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:55.079 shoot arounds for a little bit longer, maybe even do the some more wind 424 00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:57.200 sprints. But of course the players might say, ah, but you know, 425 00:31:57.359 --> 00:32:00.319 something's got to be done to get that mindset. Like Leonard said, 426 00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:04.720 it's in between the years. But you know, right now, I couldn't 427 00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:08.039 figure out what was wrong other than the statistics, but why it was happening. 428 00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:10.680 There's not any poison in the locker room that I'm aware of or heard 429 00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:14.680 about. So what is it? Do you got any ideas? And one 430 00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:17.599 last question, yeah, I said Westbrook doing that? You know, how's 431 00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:21.519 Westbrook doing on the recovery? They haven't mentioned too much as I've been able 432 00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:24.640 to see anywhere as far as the surgery went, and how is even working 433 00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:28.960 out? You know that sort of thing. Yeah, I don't know. 434 00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:31.640 Mark saw him on the bench. Still has the cast on the left hand. 435 00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:37.000 If I have an update, I'll give it to you. If you're 436 00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:40.839 not running and I appreciate the phone call your sets fast enough. If you're 437 00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:46.559 not getting into your offense. The Clippers don't get good shots. All the 438 00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:53.240 numbers say it. They don't run crisp, sharp sets. They're not a 439 00:32:53.279 --> 00:33:00.480 good offense. They don't have James Harden going to the basket on to finding 440 00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:07.640 open shooters. They're not a good offense. They get aviatcha Zubats one shot, 441 00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:14.559 not a good offense. Too much ISO, not enough passing, not 442 00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:22.440 enough mismatch hunting, and just not playing hard enough. That's what it comes 443 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:28.279 down to. You can't execute your offense if you don't go hard. That's 444 00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:37.960 how you get the defense off balance. And they weren't Bobby leaving the game, 445 00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:39.200 Bobby, what's up here on Clippers? Sooft for that, I'm awesome. 446 00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:44.920 I think I think you're you're spot on. I mean, they're not 447 00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:50.240 playing hard enough. But I think it's also I think Tay, I think 448 00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:52.519 He's kind of experimenting, is what I feel. I mean, I just 449 00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:57.279 what was he doing to experiment tonight? Tell me? Well, I think 450 00:33:57.319 --> 00:33:59.839 because from the beginning of the season every no, no, no, no, 451 00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:01.799 no, no, what was he doing to experiment tonight? Tell me 452 00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:07.279 he can't. He kept PJ in way too long. He kept PJ. 453 00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:10.199 Wait, how is PJ the problem tonight? How? No, no, 454 00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:14.119 he's not. He wasn't the problem. But what if I told you he 455 00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:17.400 finished with a plus minus a plus three and was the only player to finish 456 00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:22.840 with a positive plus minus. I mean, honestly, it is surprising, 457 00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:25.159 But it is kind of surprising when he's freezes and he just doesn't he doesn't 458 00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:29.400 doesn't go up to throw, or when Bones, who is a real quick 459 00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:32.360 player, just keeps slipping dribbles up and just loses the ball because you thinks 460 00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:36.280 you can get tighter than he really can. So how is that on coach 461 00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:44.360 lou tinkering? Experimenting? Is he's just tinkering because Bones is playing for for 462 00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:46.679 Westbrook right now, which is that's thought. We do so out of necessity, 463 00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:52.679 right, had a necessity, right, so we don't have an option. 464 00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:57.840 So how is coach Lou tinkering if we're also saying we don't have an 465 00:34:57.840 --> 00:35:02.320 option. He's playing the guys that are available. Bones is one of them. 466 00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:06.199 He just had a great game against Chicago and now a really bad game 467 00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:12.559 tonight. Absolutely, I'm it's just trying to get that same jelling mentality that 468 00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:15.280 happened at the beginning of the season, but with different caliber players we're not. 469 00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:19.840 When everyone's healthy, I think it's going to be fine. But the 470 00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:23.039 guys just they're just not jelly and when they get Harden was out the last 471 00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:28.000 two games, Big Zoo has been out times. Norm Powell was out tonight. 472 00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:31.840 That's not coach Lou tinkering. That's just bad circumstances and not having all 473 00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:37.599 your guys. It's tinkering with what we have to try and get what we 474 00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:44.800 had, tinkering with what we have. He has to play Bones. How 475 00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:50.519 is that tinker Yeah, but Bones isn't Westbrook. He has to play him 476 00:35:50.599 --> 00:35:57.079 right now he doesn't have Westbrook, So how is that considered tinkering? Trying 477 00:35:57.079 --> 00:36:00.079 to get Bobby? Bobby, you're killing me, man, You're killing me 478 00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:05.760 trying to get him be what trying to get him be? What did you 479 00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:09.760 see what Bowles did against Chicago. So it's on coach lu So does coach 480 00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:14.760 Luke get credit for how good he was against Chicago. I'm not saying it's 481 00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:20.239 on coach lou I'm not I'm giving should we rewind? You started with saying 482 00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:24.199 it's too much takery? It is too it is too much secret. I'm 483 00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:27.719 not saying this coach. I'm just trying to see. I'm trying to say 484 00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:30.519 he's trying to find the best alternative with what we have. We don't have 485 00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:35.519 it, right, Okay, that's fair, Bobby, that's fair. All 486 00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:38.320 right, A meeting, a meeting of the minds. I appreciate the phone 487 00:36:38.360 --> 00:36:43.039 call, Bobby. I like you, my friend call in on Wednesday. 488 00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:45.559 All right, yeah, I will do We'll do. Sounds good, all 489 00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:50.039 right, Steven Lahabra, you're on Clippers talk, not just with out of 490 00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:54.639 Maza. Now we got Carlo Jimenez on post game. He's back in. 491 00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:02.480 Coxy goes long without scoring, I mean, set a play, I mean 492 00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:07.239 throwing petros a kid or something. I mean, there's no way that you 493 00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:10.599 can go that long without scoring. It's like a bunch of fourth graders out 494 00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:15.559 there who can't shoot. Eventually, one of them is going to make it. 495 00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:20.519 Apparently it's harder than it looks. No, believe, it's not that 496 00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:22.679 as hard as it looks. I played it. Then they wouldn't have had 497 00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:25.719 a problem going eight minutes without a field goal. I guess if it's not. 498 00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:30.480 They're professionals, you know, Like even Doc Rivers said, Wow, 499 00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:36.079 the Coopers couldn't score tonight. I mean, God, call the time out, 500 00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:39.199 set up a play, do something, drive to the basket. It's 501 00:37:39.239 --> 00:37:44.440 Embarrasscene that they can't actually score. I mean when they lost to the Lakers, 502 00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:45.920 they were down. I mean they were up by fifty to the Lakers, 503 00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:52.239 and then they lost that game. I mean, what's the coach doing 504 00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:55.760 out there all the time out? Let a set play? Drive to the 505 00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:59.960 basket. Steve, I'm going to say, you went about one for four 506 00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:02.400 on points tonight, so you had a Clipper shooting night because you did say 507 00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:06.239 drive to the basket, which I agree with, and they didn't do enough 508 00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:07.960 of that. But some of your points, call time out, run a 509 00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:12.880 set play they did, Steve, they didn't execute. They didn't do a 510 00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:15.440 good enough job with that stuff. They tried. They weren't good enough. 511 00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:22.800 No wonder he's got the fire. Don't wonder Lebron wanted him out of there. 512 00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:27.840 Jesus, Now, what the hell are you talking about, Steve? 513 00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:30.519 What do you do? You know who's coaching the team, and do you 514 00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:34.480 know what that Lebron wanted to coach Lou with him on the Lakers, Like 515 00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:37.840 you're just talking, Don says. But it's an impressive rant in some ways 516 00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:43.159 because of how little information actually was a factual in this case. So, 517 00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:47.199 Steve, I appreciate the phone call. Carlo tag you want to respond to 518 00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:55.519 that one? Your your childish gambino right now walking into the room that's on 519 00:38:55.800 --> 00:39:00.559 fire. Yeah, I don't. I don't know. I don't know what's 520 00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:04.119 respond to that one. It's tough out here. The only response is next 521 00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:09.039 well said uh, Marvin in downtown Los Angele's Marvin, you're on Clippers? 522 00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:13.199 Stop with that on Moslyn and Carlo Jamenez post game after they lose one ten 523 00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:16.840 to ninety three here at home to the Hawks. Hey, Adam, yes, 524 00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:22.039 I was at the Clipper game, and unfortunately the Clippers they look pluggish 525 00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:25.480 and complacent or has to contray Young wasn't in the game or something. But 526 00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:31.840 nonetheless, you're absolutely one hundred percent right. They lacked effort and and that 527 00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:36.400 have nothing to do with being old. I was. I was at the 528 00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:38.559 Clipper game when they played the Lakers, and the Clippers were up by almost 529 00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:43.719 thirty points, and then Lebron James and the fourth for rally the truth and 530 00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:46.800 they beat us. So it has it has to be effort, execution, 531 00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:52.679 and consistency. Thank you, Adam. All right, Marvin, appreciate the 532 00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:58.480 phone call. That was a nice palate cleanser. I get effort, execution, 533 00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:01.760 consistency, all things Coach Lou has been looking for from this team for 534 00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:06.039 a long time. He's said the right things, Carlow. It just seems 535 00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:09.519 like right now the team, for whatever reason, the message isn't being received. 536 00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:14.960 They're not consistently doing those things. Yeah, and that's the weird part. 537 00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:17.559 It's we've heard this. We didn't execute, we didn't play with enough 538 00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:22.199 effort, weren't consistent enough. We've heard that for a months now, We 539 00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:24.880 real that for months from this from this Clipper coaching staff, from TYLERU. 540 00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:31.320 So how do you get the message to your guys to then move to be 541 00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:37.199 executed on the floor. I don't know, but I'm interested to see what 542 00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:39.320 Tylu comes up with. I know the guy Tyler is. He will probably 543 00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:44.400 not sleep tonight and watch the game six times to try to figure out what 544 00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:47.440 he's going to do next, because that's that's what he does. That's how 545 00:40:47.480 --> 00:40:52.440 dedicated he is. But yeah, I am very interested to see what the 546 00:40:52.679 --> 00:41:00.679 changes because clearly Adam the messaging, while correct, is not being received. 547 00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:05.840 And then execute it right, and they have the guys to execute it. 548 00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:08.280 They have the level of talent where you should never be down by twenty nine 549 00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:14.159 at home to a Hawks team without Trey Young. Honestly, that's just with 550 00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:21.079 Treyng. With Treyon. I mean, was it either way with Treyng, 551 00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:24.079 with the Jontay Murray. I don't care if they still had Al Horford, 552 00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:29.880 if they still had Kyle korver Jef Tigue on the team, if Dominique Wilkins 553 00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:34.559 was out here playing tonight. It's just it was just a brutal loss. 554 00:41:34.559 --> 00:41:37.320 We'll take a quick time out, We'll come back. Clippers are down by 555 00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:40.639 as many as twenty nine more Clippers talk next here on a five seventy LA 556 00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:47.000 Sports every Clipper game all season law, they didn't stop playing hard. You're 557 00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:53.360 listening to the La Clippers audio network. I'm streaming on the iHeartRadio lap Clippers 558 00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:57.079 were down by twenty nine. They lose one ten to ninety three at home 559 00:41:57.159 --> 00:41:59.480 to the Atlanta Hawks. Welcome back in the Clippers Talk. I'm at a 560 00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:04.840 Oslin coming up. We'll have Will Updyke on from Clips and Dip right now. 561 00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:07.960 We got your radio voice of the Clippers in the house still, Carlo 562 00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:12.280 Jmenez. Carlo, choose your own adventure. Were gonna take a few more 563 00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:16.360 calls here. I'd love to all right, man, you too like to 564 00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:22.440 live dangerously? Oh yeah, you know what, Tags, Tags and Walnut, 565 00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:25.599 There's gonna be a reasonable phone call tonight here. Tags is an analytical 566 00:42:25.639 --> 00:42:30.480 type of guy. Tajus, what's up? Hit me? I appreciate it. 567 00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:32.719 Uh and Loo's up? Carlo? You and Adam make a great one 568 00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:36.320 to punch. Now, Who's then, James Scotty. I'll let you guys 569 00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:39.679 decide. I'm not even Scottie. I'm like no, no, We're like 570 00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:45.599 I'm Jed Bush. We're like Shack and Penny. You know. Oh, 571 00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:49.719 I'll take pre microfracts or Penny. If you want to be Shack, I'll 572 00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:53.800 be shocked. Oh that sounds like you want a penny. I like the 573 00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:59.119 guy who mentions four pounds is shack. Sorry, let's get let's get back 574 00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:01.039 to it. Hey, just what's up? All right? Okay? You 575 00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:05.599 know I agree with what you said, Adam, and you know the way 576 00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:09.199 and I've been saying this, well in this slump uh that they get they 577 00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:15.400 get into their sets too slow. And we signed again today, like they 578 00:43:15.199 --> 00:43:21.440 start the fourth quarters. It was so slow. They didn't get into some 579 00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:24.440 of their sets like it was. It was unbelievable, my wrong, Carlo, 580 00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:28.320 Like there were times you talked about post game, but they weren't even 581 00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:30.840 getting to their second action. Ever at times tonight you have many fast break 582 00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:37.280 points. At a halftime four two two? Did they double it in the 583 00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:43.360 second half? You got the box score Clippers ended up with eleven continue Taj 584 00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:50.119 just sorry. They almost need there like that dann Toni Phoenix offense shoot within 585 00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:53.159 eight seconds or less, but here it should be like within five seconds acrossing 586 00:43:53.199 --> 00:43:58.239 half court. You gotta get into your into your action within five seconds and 587 00:43:58.679 --> 00:44:02.440 maybe that will create a little faster paced They gotta like maybe hit that five 588 00:44:02.480 --> 00:44:07.199 second mark. Like okay, we crossed at eighteen, but then thirteen fourteen 589 00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:09.599 or fifteen seconds guy to get into it. And if they have that type 590 00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:13.760 of mindsett maybe they'll get into a faster pace. I don't know what it 591 00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:17.239 is. And the second thing Adam was, I think that's the time we 592 00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:21.960 called you. I said, you know, when QUI post up, we're 593 00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:25.639 not getting great shots. And today in the third quarter, he posted up 594 00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:30.920 and the first pass went to once he got double team, wants hard and 595 00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:35.079 he was ten feet behind the three point line. Like I was saying, 596 00:44:35.239 --> 00:44:38.280 I feel like they're missing that triangle, that third guy on the strong side 597 00:44:38.679 --> 00:44:44.840 of the basketball, and they changing their offense with fifteen games left pages. 598 00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:49.039 I'm sorry, but I know they just need to run what they know. 599 00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:54.559 Yeah, no, I agree, It's just it's just disappointing when when he's 600 00:44:54.639 --> 00:44:59.960 double team and he's having to work so hard to make that find that open 601 00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:04.519 look an open pass. But I agree with everybody who said, Adhaim, 602 00:45:05.280 --> 00:45:07.039 we just got get into a faster pace. Play with effort. If we 603 00:45:07.159 --> 00:45:10.159 play like you know, the effort that PJ. Tucker played with, I 604 00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:15.119 think we would have had a chance to win. Hey, Carlos Plat, 605 00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:19.079 PJ. Tucker. There was one guy who went flying into the stanchion today 606 00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:22.320 and that was PJ. Tucker, and that was the loudest this building got 607 00:45:22.559 --> 00:45:25.800 hey all night. Also the only player with a positive plus plus minus night. 608 00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:29.519 PJ was a plus three out there. Come on, Dave, just 609 00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:31.039 thank you for the phone call. But we still got one more break here 610 00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:35.760 and a couple more calls to get to Josh in Sherman Oaks. Josh, 611 00:45:35.760 --> 00:45:38.199 what's up here on clipperstock? Carlo Amenez, your radio voice the Clippers is 612 00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:44.119 on. Hi, This got back from the game. Gotta say it was 613 00:45:44.159 --> 00:45:47.000 one of the worst efforts I saw in my thirty years of being a fan. 614 00:45:47.599 --> 00:45:52.360 But you know, you have to take some positives away. It looked 615 00:45:52.360 --> 00:45:55.960 like Kawhi may have got injured, but he got up and you know kept 616 00:45:55.960 --> 00:46:01.719 playing. That's a big positive. Xavier spark plug off the bench in the 617 00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:05.679 last two minutes. You got to be happy about that. I mean, 618 00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:08.599 and yeah, PJ. Tucker have to applauded his energy and you know, 619 00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:13.639 trying even then after everything down, I think come playoffs, we're going to 620 00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:17.719 be hopefully get these last few you know, things worked out and then play 621 00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:22.960 better, all right, Josh. Appreciate the phone call Mike in La Mike, 622 00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:28.199 you're on Clippers soft of that a Maslin and Carlo Menace. Hey guys, 623 00:46:28.239 --> 00:46:34.639 I'm just curious why we don't see a guy like Kobe Brown just get 624 00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:37.679 another shot. I mean, you know, this team, the side they're 625 00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:43.880 they're they're so small, and you know there is somebody there on the bench 626 00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:50.079 who has size and I think could help out with some of the rebounding issues. 627 00:46:50.119 --> 00:46:52.599 Also, you know, I mean, give Jordan Miller a shot. 628 00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:55.719 See what you know Musa can do in these situations and just need some you 629 00:46:55.760 --> 00:47:01.519 know, use to get us to the playoffs when you know the game slowed 630 00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:05.760 down and no more back to Max et cetera, et cetera, and then 631 00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:07.599 we can you know, get back to our you know, current guy. 632 00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:12.639 So to speaker, Mike, appreciate the phone call. Carlo. You want 633 00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:15.679 to touch upon that one. I mean, I understand maybe the feeling of 634 00:47:15.719 --> 00:47:20.440 wanting to mix things up, but Kybe Brown is a rookie and while he 635 00:47:20.480 --> 00:47:23.159 has had stretches where he's played well, often looks a little hesitant out there. 636 00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:29.159 I wouldn't say he's found his footing as a rookie in the NBA, 637 00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:32.400 So I don't know if that would be the move I would pick going forward. 638 00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:36.960 We'll move to a break here, we'll come back. Will Updyke will 639 00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:42.599 join the show. Clippers fall one, ten to ninety three at home to 640 00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:45.239 the Atlanta Hawks that were down by as many as twenty nine. We're all 641 00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:51.679 looking for answers together. That's a good thing, climination together. It takes 642 00:47:51.679 --> 00:47:58.480 everyone wherever. Carlo and I are still together. Here post gave who here 643 00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:00.559 cerftter dot com, Marena, Hey, we'll bring on will Updyke next. 644 00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:06.360 You're listening to five to seventy LA Sports. They want to bring a banner 645 00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:12.000 with them to the into a doll more LA Clippers basketball on the LA Clippers 646 00:48:12.079 --> 00:48:16.039 Audio Network. Times are hard. We got the Fuji's out. Clippers lose 647 00:48:16.360 --> 00:48:21.559 one, ten to ninety three at home to the Atlanta Hawks when there's just 648 00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:25.840 fifteen games left in the regular season. If you want that standings update, 649 00:48:28.159 --> 00:48:32.960 I have it for you. The Clippers are now very tenuous spot, one 650 00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:37.679 game up on the New Orleans Pelicans. Clippers in the four spot, Pelicans 651 00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:44.039 in the five spot. Remember, Pelicans have the tiebreaker on the Clippers. 652 00:48:44.159 --> 00:48:49.119 And it's probably safe to say a top three seed is not walking through that 653 00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:52.280 door. At this point, Clippers are much closer to being the five seed 654 00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:58.719 than being a top three seed. Very disappointing ball game. I met a 655 00:48:58.800 --> 00:49:01.280 Moslin. We still have your radio voice of the Clippers in Carlo Jmenez here 656 00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:07.000 post game. A few more calls, Greg and Harbor City. Greg, 657 00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:13.119 you're on Clippers Talk with Adam and Carlo. Good evening, gentlemen. Is 658 00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:16.639 it we all have fans, we all want our teams to win every game, 659 00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:22.840 right, That's that's rabid fans. But you know, maybe they were 660 00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:24.960 looking past these guys a little bit, being under five hundred team, and 661 00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:29.960 you know it maybe just wasn't but years of them. Should that be happening 662 00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:32.400 with fifteen games left in the season and considering what I just said about the 663 00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:36.320 standings and how close they are to dropping out of having a home court in 664 00:49:36.320 --> 00:49:39.679 the first round though, So who are you looking to Portland? No, 665 00:49:40.159 --> 00:49:45.199 they're looking to the two days off, That's what I think. But what 666 00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:46.559 I'm saying is, maybe, you know, it's just we're not the ones 667 00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:51.639 suiting up and going to the trainer and having people injured. Maybe they just 668 00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:53.800 maybe you're it's the dog days of the NBA right now, and they just 669 00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:58.159 got to push through it. And uh, they're gonna be They're a great 670 00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:00.760 team. They're a really good team. They get the people healthy, they're 671 00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:04.639 gonna be okay. But this, you know, it's just we're not the 672 00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:07.639 players really living it. We don't know what really went on in the team 673 00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:12.800 between the years, or they're maybe they're beat up because the other and these 674 00:50:12.840 --> 00:50:15.920 other guys want you to go down the bench. Maybe the maybe it's a 675 00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:20.159 disadvantage. The talent level isn't as high to beat teams. So you just 676 00:50:20.159 --> 00:50:22.039 got to ride with them. They'll get through it. I mean, it's 677 00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:25.199 all critical right now. All these teams are playing. But you know, 678 00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:28.960 I just ride with them, and I know they're going to be good. 679 00:50:29.400 --> 00:50:31.760 And they just got to get in the playoffs, just like the other team 680 00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:35.679 in the other town last year. Did you just got to get in And 681 00:50:35.719 --> 00:50:39.039 then and with Kawhi and Paul George, they're gonna do some damage. And 682 00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:44.079 I don't I have total faith in them, all right, Gregg, keep 683 00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:49.559 the faith last half full type of guy. How could you tell I'm gonna 684 00:50:49.840 --> 00:50:54.400 read a quote here from Paul George postgame, Carlo can't wait. He said, 685 00:50:54.760 --> 00:50:59.800 we want to be a team that's consistent. We want to establish an 686 00:50:59.800 --> 00:51:04.719 identity. Right now, I don't think we have an identity. That is 687 00:51:04.960 --> 00:51:12.920 very alarming that over, when are we ad sixty plus games, almost seventy 688 00:51:12.960 --> 00:51:17.239 games in, they still don't have an identity? Sixty eight games, sixty 689 00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:22.559 seven How could that be? How could they have not crystallized an identity? 690 00:51:22.599 --> 00:51:29.159 But I think he's being brutally honest. Obviously he's pulling back the curtain a 691 00:51:29.199 --> 00:51:32.800 little bit. But it says something that they are this far into the season 692 00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:37.559 and don't know exactly how they're gonna play every night. I mean, I 693 00:51:37.639 --> 00:51:43.159 think they had an identity at one point during this year when they were twenty 694 00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:45.599 one and six in that thirty one game, Stretcher, no that that math 695 00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:51.880 does we work twenty forty five and scenario thank you, sorry, just numbers 696 00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:55.679 that night. I just feel like the identity was we're gonna run pick and 697 00:51:55.719 --> 00:51:59.760 roll with zoobotes when Kawhid double teams, we're gonna hit a three and we're 698 00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:02.519 gonna destroy the paint on offensive rebounding. And that was the identity I mean, 699 00:52:02.559 --> 00:52:06.960 they went up to Toronto to start that Grammy Roadchhrip had sixty points in 700 00:52:06.960 --> 00:52:09.079 the paint. The next game they had seventy points in the paint against Boston. 701 00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:15.239 They were unbelievable from outside the arc. They hit twenty one threes against 702 00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:19.000 Atlanta. They got back on they didn't turn the ball over. The identity 703 00:52:19.199 --> 00:52:22.679 was, you didn't turn the ball over. You hit threes and you ran 704 00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:25.679 pick and roll with James and everything worked off of that. And tonight they 705 00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:30.880 turned the ball over, they didn't hit threes, and James harden pick and 706 00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:34.960 roll did not work to how it usually does. I just I think, 707 00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:37.719 Adam, you got to find a way. I don't know what it is, 708 00:52:37.199 --> 00:52:40.039 but you got to find a way to get the James pick and roll 709 00:52:40.119 --> 00:52:44.639 back, because when it was working, everything else was working. Yeah, 710 00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:49.760 everything fell into place. This team was on the best role they had been 711 00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:53.119 in in the regular season in the two to three era, in the history 712 00:52:53.280 --> 00:52:58.760 of the Clippers franchise ever. Ever, Ever, I'm with full agreement with 713 00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:02.920 you that is the key that unlocks their offense. High pick and roll with 714 00:53:04.119 --> 00:53:07.760 James Harden. Before we get out of here, I do want to thank 715 00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:15.800 the Clippers organization, Ralph Lawler, Ryan Seaman, Noah Eagle, Carlo Jmenez 716 00:53:16.039 --> 00:53:22.119 him emphasis on him on the call tonight, the callers, the listeners, 717 00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:28.039 big Brother, Jake Warner. They're powering through Maretho. He's seven point three, 718 00:53:29.079 --> 00:53:31.920 twenty six point two, twenty. Katie helped. We got nothing with 719 00:53:31.960 --> 00:53:36.880 a numbers, so we're screwed. Six. It was a lot, I'll 720 00:53:36.920 --> 00:53:39.119 say that a lot. I'm looking at number twenty nine. The Clippers were 721 00:53:39.159 --> 00:53:43.559 down by that many to Atlanta. They have to bounce back, and maybe 722 00:53:44.039 --> 00:53:46.800 this is what it knights this team. A loss, this bad creates a 723 00:53:46.880 --> 00:53:51.639 sense of urgency. Finally, with fifteen games left, we'll see. They'll 724 00:53:51.639 --> 00:53:55.880 be in Portland Wednesday night. Might listen to last week's show. Sorry, 725 00:53:55.880 --> 00:54:01.599 I just heard you say, Carlow with the snipe at the end, the 726 00:54:01.679 --> 00:54:06.000 sniper. We'll be all right, go hang ahead. Play off Kawhi is 727 00:54:06.039 --> 00:54:13.079 coming pre game Wednesday from Mooto Center in Portland. Starts at six Amanda Muslin 728 00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:15.880 for Carlo Amennez the rest of the crew. We'll talk to you then. 729 00:54:16.320 --> 00:54:20.039 Why was doing his thing? And all they want to do is win in 730 00:54:20.199 --> 00:54:24.239 La Win. I thought they gave everything they had.
