Radio and now your host. He

5
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:31.600
makes everything happen. Adam Mousley.
I'm gonna do what you all think I'm

6
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:38.039
gonna do, which is what's out
and I'm not even After the Clippers suffer

7
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:43.399
their worst defeat and franchise history,
they lose by fifty one to the Dallas

8
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:48.960
Mavericks with a final score of one
twenty four to seventy three. Welcome into

haven't already checking on Adam. How's he

12
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:07.480
doing? What's going on? Perfectly
calm dude. In the same way that

13
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:14.319
we don't react too much to regular
season victories, like when the Clippers won

14
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:19.400
by fifty last season, had their
biggest victory in franchise history to the Atlanta

15
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.280
Hawks, We're going to be consistent
and not do the same thing when they're

16
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.359
on the other side of a beat
down like that, And that's what it

17
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:33.560
was from the outset immediately in this
game. They had five points with just

18
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:38.079
a couple of minutes left in the
first quarters, So they scored five points

19
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.200
in the first ten minutes of the
ball game. Now, no Kawhi Leonard,

20
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:47.719
a twelve thirty start, no Marcus
Morris, but there's really no excuses

21
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:53.480
to come out that flat, to
have a performance like this, especially coming

22
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.319
off of two great victories regular season
victories granted early in the season, but

23
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:04.200
games where they faced versity and they
were able to close out the Lakers and

24
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:08.520
then the Denver Nuggets on the road. It's shocking and surprising really because of

25
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:15.759
how they were playing and to come
out with a poor effort like that to

26
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.560
start off the game. And everyone
in Clipper Nation we all talk about the

27
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:25.560
twelve thirty starts. They have been
notorious for getting off to slow starts in

28
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:34.199
these twelve thirty at home afternoon matinee
contests, and they are unique to the

29
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:39.800
Clippers because they're third at Staples Center. When it comes to scheduling, they're

30
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.520
behind two other teams in the building, and to have a home game that

31
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:52.599
early is rare for most other teams. But considering how many they've had over

32
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:57.639
the years, at some point you
would think they'd get some rhythm with these

33
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.240
twelve thirty starts. If they're happening
all the time every year, at some

34
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:06.719
point, you would think they would
adjust to them. Obviously did not happen

35
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.199
in this game. It doesn't help
when you don't have Kawhi Leonard. It

36
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.639
doesn't help when you're working through a
new offense with a new coaching staff,

37
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:17.599
and in some ways, and I'm
not trying to make excuses, I'm trying

38
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:23.639
to reason through how something like this
could happen where you lose by fifty one

39
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.680
and have your worst loss in franchise
history while having maybe your best roster in

40
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.520
franchise history. Some of those guys
weren't playing in the game, but they

41
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:38.400
had enough firepower out there to compete
still at least, and to be down

42
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:44.319
fifty at the half. That hasn't
happened in the shot clock era to any

43
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:52.319
team that's brutal Now, Is it
indicative of how this season is going to

44
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:57.000
go? No, it's not.
The Clippers are much better than this.

45
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.719
And if there's a point of the
season where you want to get a game

46
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.240
like this out of the way,
if you have to suffer a defeat like

47
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.080
this to this level, you would
like it to be in the first couple

48
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:11.199
of weeks of the season, not
towards the end when you're building momentum towards

49
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.480
the playoffs. So if I can
take any positives away, those would be

50
00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:20.360
a couple of them. And it's
hard. It is combing the desert and

51
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:28.240
spaceballs right now trying to find positives. But one of my buddies on Twitter,

52
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.199
and if you don't follow him,
he's one of the best Clipper follows.

53
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:36.079
He's at Clippers twenty four seven and
he means it. He's all about

54
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:42.360
tweeting about the Clippers before and after
games. And he put it well and

55
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:46.480
he said, you can't say,
don't overreact to the Clippers first two games

56
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.480
and the regular season doesn't matter,
but then act like the third game of

57
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.800
the season for the Clippers is everything. Pick one, because I see a

58
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:57.199
lot of hate coming in on the
Clippers. In fact, fifty down has

59
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:01.759
been trending for the last hour and
a half. That applies to this game.

60
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:06.720
It's in reference to that, and
I see people going after Paul George,

61
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:12.279
but the same people didn't credit the
Clippers at all in the first two

62
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:16.399
wins of the regular season. Just
be consistent, make it make sense.

63
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:24.720
As the phrase I'm saying by the
millennial and I'm one of the millennials goes,

64
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:29.160
so, if you're gonna overreact to
every game of the regular season,

65
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:30.839
yes, overreact to this one.
If you don't and we don't hear,

66
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:36.639
then it's wise not to put too
much stock into a huge loss like this

67
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:42.560
where everything that could go wrong did
go wrong. Being down fifty at the

68
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:47.480
half, of course, it's embarrassing, it's shocking, and it's unacceptable.

69
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:54.920
And I know this Clipper's roster and
the mental makeup of this team this season,

70
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.160
and with this new coaching staff,
they're going to take that to heart

71
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.720
and they are going to respond and
bounce back from a performance like this.

72
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.399
I feel for the Timberwolves already on
Tuesday, because they're gonna get the Clippers

73
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:11.720
locked in and focused and playing at
their best, hopefully with Kawhi Leonard back,

74
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.519
who obviously was out today after what
happened was six minutes left in the

75
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:21.839
game Friday in Denver where he had
a elbow to the face, an inadvertent

76
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:28.079
elbow from Serge Ibaka as both guys
were going for rebounds. Had to get

77
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.959
eight stitches. Facial laceration is what
they're calling it. That's the medical I'm

78
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:36.160
cooler than you and know more about
science way to put it. But it

79
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:41.959
was a scary situation. He doesn't
play. And the other part of the

80
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.480
perfect storm to this, the other
half, or the other side of it,

81
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:50.000
is Dallas was owing two and they
hadn't looked good. They lost big

82
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:56.800
to the Lakers, and Luca don
Chich is the favorite, the odds on

83
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.639
favorite to win the MVP this season. You knew they were going to play

84
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.399
well this well? No. Did
I know the Clippers were going to play

85
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:10.879
this poorly? No, No one
could expect that. It's confounding to see

86
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:15.399
a team like this lose by an
amount like that. But if it was

87
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:16.720
going to happen, it was going
to be early in the season. It

88
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.560
was going to be a game without
Kawhi Leonard. It was going to be

89
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:24.279
a game without someone else like Marcus
Morris, who we haven't seen yet in

90
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.560
the preseason or in the regular season, and they were going to be playing

91
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:30.160
a team that was highly motivated,
like the Dallas Mavericks, who have a

92
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:35.079
superstar, the Slovenian superstar in Luca
Danchich who finished with twenty four points,

93
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:40.279
and Josh Richardson who's been a Clippers
killer. He had eighteen in the fourth

94
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:46.439
quarter against them in Philadelphia last season
and was the difference in that ball game

95
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:48.680
when the Sixers got that victory over
the Clippers on the road. But the

96
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:55.160
Clippers they lose by fifty one.
And you're trying to rationalize this and explain

97
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:59.600
how it can happen, and that's
all I'm here to offer you. There

98
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.600
are no excuses to lose by this
amount ever. But like I said,

99
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.519
if it was going to happen,
it was probably going to be early in

100
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.480
the season. Like this, it
just makes more senses. They're still implementing

101
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:16.720
new players, a new system,
and their best player was out for the

102
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.199
game. But the twelve thirty start
stuff. At some point it just has

103
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.160
to stop. Not the scheduling of
games at that point, but the Clippers

104
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.560
coming out so flat dent. They've
had too many games scheduled at that time,

105
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.559
and it's going to be happening this
season too. It's the reality of

106
00:08:31.559 --> 00:08:35.080
the situation. So at some point
they just have to get used to it,

107
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.519
and I think they will. This
was also one of those games where

108
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.519
maybe it was a good thing there
weren't fans in the stands, or maybe

109
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.679
that has an effect. You're not
getting up. You don't have the same

110
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.120
amount of energy because there isn't the
same amount of energy in the building with

111
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:56.159
fake crowd noise. That fake crowd
noise was still chanting defense. When the

112
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:00.519
Clippers were down by as many as
fifty seven points, they would go on

113
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:05.759
to lose by a franchise worse fifty
one points to the Dallas Mavericks. I

114
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.000
did, at least like what I
saw early in the second half when the

115
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:16.080
starters came back out and immediately went
on a ten oh run. Didn't make

116
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:20.399
a difference ultimately, but they at
least came out in the way they should

117
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.000
have to start this ball game off
with the right energy, the right spirit,

118
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.519
and the fight to try to get
them back into it a little bit.

119
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.600
It didn't hold, and the starters
didn't play heavy minutes in the second

120
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.679
half as you would expect in a
blow out like this, but at least

121
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.480
coming out of the gate to start
the second half, they made a little

122
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.720
bit of a run, a little
bit of a push. But losing by

123
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.399
fifty one is losing by fifty one. There's no way to dress up a

124
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:52.120
loss like this is it looked like
a team that late they were just playing

125
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.679
for pride. It's just young guys
out there getting buckets, trying to show

126
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:03.720
something for their head coach. It
is now a point where you know you're

127
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:09.159
desperately trying to figure out how a
game like this happens. I'm in that

128
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.039
position too. But we're gonna hear
from Toronto Loo coming up. We're gonna

129
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.279
get to your phone calls. In
fact, we'll take when right off the

130
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:22.360
bat, because I know this guy's
gonna bring some positivity to the broadcast when

131
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:28.039
we desperately need it. It is
Morris in Long Beach, Morris, he

132
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.240
Adam. Forgive me, but I'm
not tripping. Listen. I want to

133
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.120
call you after that Denver game,
but it got kind of late. I've

134
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.440
never seen so many assists in all
my life. I've been watching basketball a

135
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:43.600
long long time. I think the
Clippers had like thirty baskets and twenty five

136
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:48.000
six sists, so we know what
they can do when they hit the floor.

137
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.039
You know, come on, let's
be honest about this. When they

138
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.879
hit the floor to day against the
Mavericks, you know, to win without

139
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:54.960
they sails, you know, the
number one player without you know, they're

140
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.240
worried about this guy, and it
just felt like they was handicapped a little

141
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.639
bit. But I don't care what
they're hand on Twitter. This is the

142
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.279
team right here, and I'm going
buy what they did against the Lakers who

143
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:11.559
won the World championship footnote and Denver. So these guys here a good team,

144
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:13.840
good team. They caught the Clippers
at the right time. But man,

145
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:18.399
these guys can play when they get
their four team together. I can

146
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.679
see what Tayron los only having them
do the ball moves faster than your feet.

147
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.159
And that's the kind of team we
guys. They used to be known

148
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.200
for their for their grits on defense, but now they're known for past and

149
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:33.000
then I'll tell you look it up. Everybody who hear you ain't never seen

150
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.120
a ratio like that. And know
you're talking about what nobody as long as

151
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.440
by fifty ain't nobody had a ratio
like that either field goes to as sins

152
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.440
either check it out, look it
up, and they've been a lot of

153
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.799
ten million games played, so we
know what's sending this in this team.

154
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.120
And if we're gonna do any trading
everybody wants, We're gonna trade you Adam

155
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:50.759
for Harden? Is that all right? They trade coaches with players, don't

156
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.240
they. You're gonna have to give
up a lot more than just me to

157
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.799
get James hard enough. Sorry,
there do you do? Merry Christmas Abbey

158
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.759
hall of this to you and your
family. Here's the good thing when I

159
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:05.720
say you get a game like this
out of your system early on in the

160
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:11.039
year, it's also a lesson learned. And ammo for Tyron Loo moving forward

161
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:16.519
to get their attention immediately and say
you have to have the right mindset to

162
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.679
start the game. And if you
can learn this lesson early in the season,

163
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.960
because that's what the regular seasons should
be used for, learning these lessons

164
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.039
and adjusting, and then you get
to playing your best basketball by the end

165
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:33.519
of the regular season and hopefully you're
hot going into the playoffs. But this

166
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:39.399
is one of those lessons. It's
a teaching moment that can certainly be beneficial

167
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.480
down the line for the Clippers.
I'm not even gonna go to silver lining

168
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.840
blessing and disguise type stuff yet,
but it can be a lesson they learn

169
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:52.840
from and we'll see, and I
expect them to immediately come out with more

170
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:58.320
punch and more fight and a better
spirit and more energy out there Tuesday night

171
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.080
when they're taking on the timberwool back
at Staples Center. Okay, coming up,

172
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.399
you'll hear from the head coach Ron
Lou. You'll hear from PG.

173
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.519

phone calls. Eight six six nine eight

number. What is the other old saying

175
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:22.519
that millennials like me should be able
to remember because Clipper Nation, you've been

176
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:28.039
through too much and I know you
guys are gonna be positive about this eventually,

177
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:31.919
even if this loss hurts right now. Hey, the same people that

178
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.399
say a win is a win,
a loss is just a loss, right

179
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.000
even if you lose by fifty one. If you didn't love me at my

180
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.600
fifty one point loss, you don't
deserve me in my fifty point win state.

181

Jersey Shore Clippers lose one twenty four to

211
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:36.360
seventy three at home to the Dallas
Mavericks. That would be a fifty one

212
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:41.240
point loss. That would be the
worst loss in the history of the franchise.

213

You can also get to me at

hear from PG thirteen coming up. We'll

216
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.320
get to Torontolu in just a moment, but first let's get to Mitch in

217
00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:00.480
New Jersey, who normally keeps it
positive. We need some positivity here,

218
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:07.519
Mitch after a loss like this.
How are you, Oh Adam, how

219
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.319
are you doing? I'm sorry,
Nick, happy being healthy? You and

220
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:15.279
your family? Same to you and
yours? What's up? I mean not

221
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.079
over? Do I get to see
the clips on TV? Adam more,

222
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:25.240
It was horribly I liked seeing the
young players being the game for different reasons.

223
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.519
Do you think they can go trade
for a point guard? Betley's great

224
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:33.880
on defense rebounds, but I wish
it has something that could shoot really lead

225
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:36.480
the team. I know he's pretty
good, and we don't have a lot

226
00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:41.680
of assets because we need who are
you talking about their? Mitch Beverly I

227
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.400
wish they had another point guard throwing. Let's see what the young Let's see

228
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.680
what the young players have. And
also one thing, why are the clips

229
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.400
where any's blacking force? I liked
him it blue, even the red was

230
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.079
better. And then the abs.
I thought they were playing the Celtics.

231
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.359
I mean, when is the green
coming? Who who choose it? Be

232
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.119
youthful? I've been had. This
was not the positivity I was looking for.

233
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.000
Mitch is going so far to go
after their uniforms in this game,

234
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:11.039
which I love. They're the inverted
San Andreas ones from last season, where

235
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:14.640
they were white with black lettering.
Now they're black with white lettering. Those

236
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.759
are their city edition uniforms this year. Everybody has a ton of different styles

237
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:22.839
now and different colors that they mix
and match. They're not quite the Organ

238
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.359
Ducks, but this is pretty standard
around the league. And I happen to

239
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.759
love the uniforms they were wearing now
look good, feel good, play good

240
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.640
didn't exactly happen, but we'll see
that won't be the last time they wear

241
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:38.759
those. Thank you for the phone
call, Mitch. Clippers lose one twenty

242
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:44.079
four to seventy three to the Dallas
Mavericks. At Staples Center. Coming up,

243
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:47.720
you'll hear from PG thirteen, But
first I do want to hear from

244
00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:51.119
the head coach, Tehron Lou post
game. I know it's hard to come

245
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:53.720
back from that kind of deficit,
but is there something you could pinpoint early

246
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:57.839
in the game that you could attribute
the slow start too. I think a

247
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:02.079
couple of turnovers are only think got
them out in transition, got a couple

248
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:04.599
of easy baskets and then you know, we've missed some shots and they got

249
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.720
out and transitioned on us early and
just have a lot of pop tonight,

250
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.359
you know, on both sides of
the basketball. So you play a team

251
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:14.759
like this, who you know,
has a point guard like Luca who can

252
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.160
dominate the game in different ways,
and they have a lot of shooters around

253
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:21.119
them, and if they're making shots
like they were tonight and you're not,

254
00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:22.799
you're not defending, you're not making
shots, it's gonna be a long night.

255
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.200
Thanks to moving over to justin,
Hey, coach, is this an

256
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:32.720
instance of one of those game tapes
that you preverbbly burn or just don't really

257
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:34.839
go over or is this something where
you can kind of go into the nuts

258
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:38.519
and bolts and fine little things to
fine tune and now I thank you throw

259
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:42.319
it away. Just getting back to
what's been working and you know how we've

260
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:47.319
been working and working on. Like
I said tonight, our guys didn't have

261
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:48.279
a lot of pop, you know, didn't have a lot of pop on

262
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.359
either end for the floor and you
can see it. We'll go to Andrew

263
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:56.720
Bright. He tight with with Paul. You know, he's been responsible for

264
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.519
quite a few turnovers early in the
season. I guess, what do you

265
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.519
want to do for intermy what do
you want to see from h In terms

266
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:07.000
of tightening up his handle, I
know he contributed to some of those early

267
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.480
turnovers just being just being decisive what
he wants to do, you know,

268
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.799
not thinking, I guess and just
be aggressive and then making everybody play like

269
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:18.480
he's been doing, you know,
just are We just can't have a chill

270
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:22.680
out of turnovers when you know we're
kind of like indecisive what we want to

271
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.359
do. So we'll clean those up
and you know, I say it's early,

272
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:29.839
and you know he'll he'll understand where
peoples are on the floor. Will

273
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.519
we give him the space to play
and we'll get better at that. You

274
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:36.720
guys that obviously made a lot of
great progress to the first two victories.

275
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:40.200
Does this feel anyway like a step
back, like you're gonna have to kind

276
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:42.279
of rebuild from from a loss of
this caliber? Or do use it?

277
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:45.480
Do you look at this as like
just an exception that you just throw away?

278
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:48.880
No, just an exception. I
mean it doesn't take away from what

279
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.640
we've been doing and what we've been
working on and how we're trying to get

280
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.799
better each night. And like I
said, you know, it wasn't a

281
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:57.960
lot of a lot of fight,
a lot of pop tonight, and you

282
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:02.400
know we'd know how that the next
game we have time for one more,

283
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:07.000
we go to Miriam. Does having
playing it in an empty arena when you

284
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:10.640
fall so far behind, does that
hurt more? Just sort of lacking that

285
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:15.240
energy in the building. It could
have no excuse though, I mean,

286
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.039
you know we are to play the
same way and be able to adapt,

287
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:21.960
So I just think we got to
a slow spot early and it's just kind

288
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:26.640
of slow ball from there. There
was head coach harnlu after the Clippers suffer

289
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:29.559
their worst defeat and franchise history.
They lose by fifty one, with the

290
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:34.279
final score of one twenty four to
seventy three in favor greatly in favor of

291
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:40.200
the Dallas Mavericks. Some of what
he talked about there was clearing the mechanism

292
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:42.880
a little bit, turning the page, throwing away the game tape, maybe

293
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:48.799
kill it with fire. But he's
not going to be dwelling on this.

294
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:52.839
And he also talked about how this
is the exception. It doesn't take away

295
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.519
from what they did the first two
games, and it doesn't This is not

296
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.960
going to define their season. This
lost to the Dallas Mavericks. They are

297
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:04.200
going to move forward and they're going
to still learn from this. There are

298
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:08.319
always lessons to be learned, of
course, and Tyron Lou was stressing about

299
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:11.240
how they have to get off to
a better start than that, especially against

300
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:15.319
the Dallas Mavericks team that caught fire
early. As they say, it's a

301
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.720
make mis league, and Dallas was
making a lot and the Clippers were missing

302
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:23.000
a lot, and that's how you
get a disparity like this. Plus something

303
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:27.519
else that goes into a perfect storm
of bad from the Clippers standpoint is the

304
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:33.680
fact that while the Clippers have had
teams circled on their revenge tour, Dallas

305
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:41.519
had them highlighted for this game because
Dallas suffered their worst defeat in franchise history

306
00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:45.079
and the playoffs to the Clippers by
forty three in that game five last year

307
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:49.000
between these two teams in the first
round. So you knew they were going

308
00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:53.720
to come out with the right focus
and mentality and willingness to do whatever it

309
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:59.640
takes to get back a little bit
of revenge on the Clippers, and they

310
00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:03.720
got back and then some. But
this is a regular season game, not

311
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.759
a playoff series. I don't think
the Clippers were satisfied just because they beat

312
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:11.680
the Denver Nuggets in Denver the other
night and that makes up for losing a

313
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.680
three one series lead, and Dallas
is going to feel the same way about

314
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:18.759
this victory, I think ultimately coming
up next. Though. You also heard

315
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:22.319
a question there about PG. Thirteen
and the turnovers going on with him.

316
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:27.680
Even though overall and two of his
first three games he looked magnificent, he

317
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:33.240
did have a four turnovers tonight.
He's had fifteen so far in his first

318
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:40.680
three games this year. He's adjusting
to playing more of that point forward this

319
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:45.599
year. You saw he also had
nine assists last game. He's being more

320
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.480
of a playmaker out there. He's
looking for guys. So, as Noah

321
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.920
Eagle would point out early in the
season, you have more turnovers. That's

322
00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:59.359
understandable. That's to be expected from
every team, and especially probably from a

323
00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:03.039
player who's adjusting his style of play
a little bit. But he is very

324
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:07.960
capable of being a very good playmaker
for this Clippers team. I'm excited to

325
00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:11.599
see more of that in the weeks
to come. Coming up next, you're

326
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.799
gonna hear from PG thirteen after the
Clippers lose one twenty four to seventy three

327
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:21.920
to the Dallas Mavericks. This is
Clipper stock. I'm out of Mosland,

328
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:30.960
and this is AM five to seventy
l A sports is LA Clippers basketball.

329
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:36.160
Kowhi Leonard is a destroyer of worlds. Right now on the official home of

330
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:49.680
your La Clippers. Round that sight
all times Today. Clippers lose one twenty

331
00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:53.880
four to seventy three at home in
their first official home game of the season

332
00:24:55.000 --> 00:25:00.200
to the Dallas Mavericks. It is
their biggest loss en franchise. His three

333
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:04.039
welcome back into Clippers talk. I'm
Adam Oslin to eight six six nine eight

334
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:10.039
seven two five seventy eight six six
ninety seven two five seventy. We heard

335
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:14.440
from Tehron Loop post game, last
segment, and this was something he talked

336
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:18.480
about pregame actually with your Voice of
the Clippers, Noah Eagle. But one

337
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:22.559
of his keys to the game was
not letting the Mavericks get into transition where

338
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:26.079
they ended up having twenty eight fast
break points. A lot of that was

339
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:29.359
in the first half when they were
up by fifty at the half. And

340
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:34.440
I just saw this stat. Twenty
percent of the Mavericks possessions started in transition.

341
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:41.119
Today they had an offensive rating of
almost one ninety on those possessions.

342
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.920
That means if they were doing that
over and over again through one hundred possessions,

343
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:48.039
yeah, they would have scored one
hundred and eighty eight points, scored

344
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:52.400
one twenty four. Yeah, small
victories, Clippers lose big. And here

345
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:57.799
was PG thirteen post game who did
lead them in scoring in limited minutes.

346
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:02.559
He had fifteen points wins. And
here was Paul George speaking with the media

347
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:07.119
coach little reference. You guys didn't
have the pop coming into this game or

348
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:11.039
through throughout the game. How do
you ensure as one of the leaders on

349
00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:15.440
a team that you developed this pop
for Wednesday night. I mean, I

350
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:22.200
take full responsibility. You know,
it's a tough game coming from Christmas.

351
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.160
You know, I enjoy my Christmas
Day. I enjoyed my Christmas Day yesterday.

352
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:30.079
Today just popped up on me a
little too fast. I'll take full

353
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.920
ownership with that of coming out and
being prepared to play today. Be a

354
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:38.680
different situation come next game, and
uh, you know we'll be ready.

355
00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:45.960
Make sure our group will be ready. Thanks Canty, you go ahead.

356
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:52.480
How do you maintain this steam together
as one of the leaders, and how

357
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:56.799
do you process this laws even though
it just won a game? So you

358
00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:03.359
guys can continue of playing ass first
two games. I mean, it's not

359
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:08.279
that bigger to do. Yeah,
we got our boats kick today, but

360
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:14.319
you know it's it's one game.
I think we'll just take what we need

361
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:19.000
to take away from today and go
to the next one. We wasn't ready

362
00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:25.519
today. We wasn't prepared, not
from the plan, but just from us

363
00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:30.359
being ready to go. And that's
on me, and so you know we'll

364
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:33.240
be ready for the next game.
You know, it's one game. It's

365
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:41.160
not like we lose. We get
three ls learning about fifty points. We'll

366
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:45.200
move over to uh, Andrew.
You go to Drew, Paul, there

367
00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:48.000
are a couple instances in that first
quarter of them. I'm guessing you'd like

368
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:51.960
to have back a couple of passes
that get intercepted and they lead to quick

369
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:55.000
points. What do you feel like
you have to do when you evaluate yourself

370
00:27:55.119 --> 00:28:00.240
to cut down some turnovers the season? I think, just just you in

371
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:03.799
the possession. So all I gotta
do is just value to possession, you

372
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:10.039
know, and and you know,
just sometimes having more of a aggressive mentality

373
00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:14.759
at all times. It's just what
I gotta just carry into every game.

374
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:22.000
Thank you're going to Miriam Well,
hey, Paul, uh, wondering if

375
00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:25.359
if playing an arena without fans and
having no energy, like the lack of

376
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:29.839
energy is especially weird when you're down
that far. And then also just kind

377
00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:32.079
of looked at look serious, were
still kind of trying to work with the

378
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:36.079
kids on the bench. What'd you
see from that? Yeah, I mean

379
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:40.759
it's still a ball game to be
played, and it's still our duties to

380
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.279
help the younger guys, you know, try to help them learn something in

381
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:49.400
the situations in there in the minutes
that they were playing. It's all about

382
00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:55.319
building. We understood that you know
we didn't. We gave a poor performance,

383
00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:57.759
but the young guys still have a
lot to learn, and it was

384
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:03.279
more so about helping. There are
always things you can learn regardless of the

385
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.279
final score, whether or not you
won by fifty or lost by fifty.

386
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:12.960
And that was Paul George there showing
some leadership, saying I take full responsibility

387
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:19.000
right off the bat for that poor
performance and said we'll be ready Tuesday night.

388
00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:22.799
Come Tuesday night, we'll be ready. And he's right. It still

389
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:27.960
just counts as one loss in the
standings, not three, just because you

390
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:33.720
lost by fifty one. So they
will be more prepared and they will be

391
00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:38.680
ready from the outset. I truly
believe that Tuesday night and hungary to get

392
00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:45.119
into that contest with the Minnesota Timberwolves. More on that coming back. Also

393
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:49.119
hear from a Vizza Zoobots post game
after the Clippers lose one twenty four to

394
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:55.599
seventy three to the Dallas Mavericks.
This is Clipper stock. I'm atam Oslin

395
00:29:55.720 --> 00:30:07.960
and you're listening to AM five seventy
ls bores. Tough one for the Clippers

396
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:11.599
as they lose by fifty one with
the final score of one twenty four to

397
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.960
seventy three, with the Dallas Mavericks
getting the win at Staples Center. It

398
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:21.119
is the worst loss in franchise history. The Clippers had just twenty seven points

399
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:26.680
in the first half. They were
down fifty after twenty four minutes. It

400
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:33.039
is pretty unexpected, unbelievable. But
this team will bounce back. And it's

401
00:30:33.079 --> 00:30:40.000
just game three of the regular season. You heard from Paul George earlier taking

402
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:44.799
complete and full ownership for this loss. You'll love to hear that from your

403
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:48.720
superstars. And here was Big Zoo
of Viza Zubots, who off the bench

404
00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:53.960
had ten points in just sixteen minutes. Here he was postgame speaking with the

405
00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:57.720
media. Coach lu said that this
was one of the games where you kind

406
00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:02.440
of just burned the game tape and
don't really look at it. Uh what

407
00:31:02.559 --> 00:31:03.960
would you look at though, if
you had to look at this game tape

408
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:07.920
and things that the team could have
done differently or anything like that. Pretty

409
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:11.480
much everything, Uh, you know, from the start, from the start

410
00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:15.440
of the game, we didn't have
the right energy. We let them uh

411
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.400
do their place like they're like it's
a walk through, you know. We

412
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:22.960
didn't uh, we didn't make it
tough for them were they to pressure them.

413
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:29.720
We just let them do whatever they
want and they made all their shots,

414
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:34.079
but they didn't make anything with defensively. Offensively, we would probably have

415
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:38.160
to look at uh, you know, pretty pretty much every every possession.

416
00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:44.880
We'll go over to Jonathan he Zu. You know, without saying too much,

417
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:48.920
what was the message that coach gave
you guys coming out of halftime?

418
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:51.240
It seems like it leads you guys
tried to play with you know, a

419
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:53.440
little bit more energy. So without
saying too much, like, what was

420
00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:59.359
the message that he gave you guys, just to you know, play play

421
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:05.599
hard and keep working well. We're
working in a practice, just trying to

422
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:08.759
get better at the stuff we were
working on. I told you after last

423
00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:15.480
game when they went into Denver and
got a nice victory over a Nuggets team

424
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:19.359
that was pushing back late. They
got it to within eleven points after being

425
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:22.319
down by as many as twenty four, and the Clippers held on without Kawhi

426
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:27.880
Leonard that you have to enjoy the
process and the journey throughout the regular season,

427
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.400
and this is a part of that. And you're here to beat the

428
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:35.680
subots talk about how we did everything
wrong we'd have to look at every possession

429
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:39.519
of that game tape. But they
are going to adjust. This is not

430
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:44.279
the norm for this Clippers team.
They're too good, they're too talented,

431
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:47.920
and they're going to show that off. I believe Tuesday night, when they

432
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:52.960
regroup and come back and come together
with the right mindset and energy from the

433
00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:57.559
tip, it will not be a
twelve thirty tip. By the way,

434
00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:01.160
on Tuesday, that will be seven
pm. That means we'll I've Clippers countdown

435
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:06.440
for you starting at six pm.
Before we get out of here. I

436
00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:10.680
do want to thank the Clippers organization, Noah Eagle, Brian Seaman, Ralph

437
00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:16.240
Lawlor, big brother, Jake Warner, our head engineer out at Staples Center.

438
00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:21.440
Back here, our technical producer was
Ceazy calling ye Colin, thank you.

439
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:30.680
Until Tuesday, when the Clippers will
look to respond after losing by fifty

440
00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:35.160
one to the Dallas Mavericks, They're
taking on the Timberwolves, and we will

441
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:42.000
have Clippers countdown for you starting at
six pm. I'm ata moslind We will

442
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:45.200
talk to you then we'll be ready
