Adam Osland and the Clippers suffer 6 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:30.359 their first loss of the season, losing by two in Utah with a final 7 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:35.439 score of one twenty to one eighteen. Welcome into your postgame show. I'm 8 00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:40.399 Adam Oslin coming up second half highlights and your final box score. But while 9 00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:44.000 we have a moment, let's pause ten seconds for station identification on the Los 10 00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:50.039 Angeles Clippers Audio Network. This is La Clippers Basketball AM five to seventy KLAC 11 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:55.799 Los Angeles, ninety eight seven KYSR HD two Los Angeles and iHeartRadio Station. 12 00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.159 Let's get back to your radio voice of the Clippers in Carlo Jimenez from Delta 13 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:06.280 Center and the Clippers were a three pointers short on a night where the Utah 14 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.319 Jazz hit sixteen of them from winning this ballgame. Carlo, it was a 15 00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.959 tough one down the stretch was a tough one down the stretch. Credit Utah. 16 00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:15.519 They came out of that loss against Sacramento saying, hey, we need 17 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.400 to shoot more threes. We need to make more threes. They did that. 18 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.000 They hit sixteen after hitting just nine. They shot thirteen more than they 19 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.079 did on Wednesday, and they beat the Clippers to the fifty to fifty balls. 20 00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:32.920 They hit thirty three points from the second chance. They had sixteen off 21 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.599 turnovers. At the end of the day, Adam, we were talking about 22 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:38.480 it. I feel like as this game went along, the Clippers were going 23 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.040 to steal this game if they were gonna come away with a win. They 24 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.799 didn't play their brand of basketball. The defensive intensity that we saw in Game 25 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.879 one wasn't there, the rebounding wasn't there. It was gonna be an ugly 26 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.519 win. And at the end of the day, the ugly win caught up 27 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.319 to them. Yeah, you said it. Those bad habits they can catch 28 00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.280 up to you. Offensive rebounds by the Utah Jazz it was marketing with a 29 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:06.680 big one in the fourth quarter those threes from Olanic, but a Clippers killer 30 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.639 in Jordan Clarkson hitting that three pointer late. That was the eventual backbreaker. 31 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:16.159 Yeah, Clarkson was good tonight. That was his third three of the ballgame 32 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:21.800 to go for his thirteen points wory. Marketing was just excellent for this team, 33 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:27.319 and the Utah Big came away with thirty five points and Adam I go 34 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:32.280 back to a play where Marketing ran in transition and Utah had about four or 35 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:37.039 five tip ends right at the rim, and Marketing got one to go, 36 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.680 and you just felt like, man, the Clippers are right there. But 37 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:46.599 the only person rebounding for most of that second stretch was Russell Westbrook, and 38 00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:49.680 he was involved in everything, but no one else really around the basketball. 39 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.319 And unfortunately Russ couldn't get that turnaround fade away to go at the buzzer there. 40 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:59.159 Kawhi Leonard would miss a three point or late that would have put him 41 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.719 up by one. It wasn't meant to be. Kawhi did have nine of 42 00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.879 his twenty five points in that fourth quarter. I thought Norman Powell was especially 43 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.360 special in the fourth with fourteen of his twenty points, albeit in a loss, 44 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.479 but it was good to see Norm dig himself out of that shooting slump. 45 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.479 Carlo, Yeah, he was excellent on the offensive end and excellent on 46 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.520 the defensive end as well. I would not be surprised if we see Norm 47 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.159 finish a lot more games this season, because every time you saw I had 48 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.120 the ball, it was Chris Dunn going at Norman Powell, and Dunn didn't 49 00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.240 score his first points till the fourth quarter. He finished two for seven from 50 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.199 the field in his eighteen minutes. Norm stood up to the challenge and put 51 00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:43.560 the clamps on. There's a lot of good to take away from today. 52 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.439 You battled on the road, you fell behind early to come back, but 53 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:51.159 for a team that looked to turn the page to be a new team, 54 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:54.120 to not fall behind in those deficits and clean up things like offensive rebounding. 55 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:59.400 Felt like we saw last year's Clippers a little too much tonight. Yeah, 56 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.800 regrets little bit, especially on the glass. Seventeen offensive rebounds in the victory 57 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:06.879 for the Utah Jazz as they win one twenty till one eighteen over your Los 58 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:13.039 Angeles Clippers, who return home on Sunday to be met by the ninth or 59 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.960 eighth Wonder of the World, whatever you want to call them, Victor Webbin 60 00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:19.079 Yama and the San Antonio Spurs will be in town.

Clippers outscored them by four in the fourth quarter, thirty five to 74 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.160 thirty one.

We'll do that coming up on Clippers to wait, But right now 82 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.240 we'll get to some second half highlights. Bart Scott hasn't left yet. You 83 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:09.199 can't either. Clippers were down at the half sixty three to fifty four. 84 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:13.279 In the third quarter, though after leading them with sixteen points in the first 85 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.720 half. Paul George was cooking George straight away, with Collins rocking back and 86 00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:20.639 forth, dribbling with left hand Clarks in the switch. George a three yacht 87 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:26.720 see Paul George from downtown. We got a one possession ball game, seventy 88 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.000 four to seventy one, George wit twenty three. Tonight, Clippers will move 89 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.439 the other way seventy six seventy one the Utah League. Georgevin's the man of 90 00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.519 the hour down the right alley fades right handed, lamp up and end. 91 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:44.160 Paul George is on fire. Seventy six seventy three, Utah George went twenty 92 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.560 five, Clippers down by three with the ball, George step back right wing 93 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:56.439 three. Why not Paul George cannot be stopped? Twenty eight points and the 94 00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:02.519 Clippers down three seventy nine seventy six. Paul George had fifteen points in the 95 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:06.360 third quarter alone, and after trailing by as many as fourteen, the Clippers 96 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:10.519 had cut it to eighty nine to eighty three heading into the fourth. And 97 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:14.480 how about Norman Powell. We were looking for him to come around, knock 98 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.759 off a little bit of rust early season rust. It's been a pattern with 99 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.439 him in his career, and he stepped up in a huge way in the 100 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.839 fourth quarter, giving the Clippers a chance. Here come the Clippers. Highland 101 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.879 pushing left wings, thought about a three stops the dribble, wait for his 102 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.000 teammates to catch up, pal right corner three, got it. Norman Powell 103 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:36.399 with some string music and the Clippers back within seven ninety seven, ninety nine 104 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:41.639 to twenty five to go. Fourth quarter. Hyland finds me toom thought about 105 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.720 a left wing three into the corner for Pala tax Alane gets by Tucker right 106 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.959 handed, flutter up and in Norman Palell makes it a one point game. 107 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:54.680 Ninety nine ninety eight well eleven two Clippers run Norman, Powell, Storm and 108 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:59.480 Norman with fourteen of his twenty points in the final period. Kawhi had nine. 109 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:01.959 In the fourth. Paul George hit a big three, as did Nicholas 110 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:07.120 Batoom, but none bigger than the shot hit from distance by Jordan Clarkson that 111 00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:13.240 would put the Utah Jazz up. Too late, Clippers got off a tough 112 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:18.759 possession Kawhi Leonard Along three pointer bounced into the hands of Russell Westbrook trying to 113 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.759 turn around fade away as the buzzer was going off, not to be in. 114 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:28.240 The Clippers fall one twenty to one eighteen in Utah to the Jazz coming 115 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:33.200 up still we got Clippers sock on the m five to seventy LA Sports if 116 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.440 you want to get on early eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy 117 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.240 eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy we'll take it till the top 118 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:45.159 of the next hour. Next though final box score Clippers lose one twenty to 119 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.279 one eighteen in Utah. They're one and one on the season, take their 120 00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:54.519 first loss, and you're listening to the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network. The 121 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.559 LA Clippers continue their hunt for a Larry O. B They still want to 122 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:03.639 get that be. Don't miss a moment all season long. This is the 123 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:11.600 LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers take their first l of the season. They 124 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.480 lose in Utah for the eleventh straight time in the regular season. Final score 125 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:20.120 one twenty to one to eighteen in favor of the Jazz. Jordan Clarkson would 126 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.720 knock down a huge three late to put them up by two. I took 127 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:28.399 a tough three, bounced off the ram Russell Westbrook had an opportunity, couldn't 128 00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:33.000 get it to go, and the Clippers are one and one on this young 129 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:39.600 season. After the Utah Jazz this is a staggering number. Got up nineteen 130 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:43.960 more shot attempts than the Clippers in this one. That is tough to overcome. 131 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.559 It's almost shocking that the Clippers were in this game and leading late. 132 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:56.320 The Jazz got up those nineteen more shots, mostly because seventeen offensive rebounds to 133 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.360 just six for your Los Angeles Clippers. Clippers was sixteen tur and overs, 134 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.519 leading the fifteen points. Jazz with fourteen turnovers leading to sixteen points. You're 135 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.639 a leading score. Paul George finished with thirty six, had a big three 136 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:13.399 late wasn't enough. Kawhi Leonard twenty five had nine of his twenty five in 137 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.960 the fourth quarter off the bench. Norman Pale had fourteen visit twenty in the 138 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:24.679 fourth. With the Clippers fall late in Utah by two, final score one 139 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:30.919 twenty to one eighteen. Clippers next game coming up Sunday. I'll be back 140 00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:35.679 at the Crip taken on Victor Webbin Yama.

I'm out a 155 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.039 Moslin. We'll get to all your phone calls eight six six nine eight seven 156 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.120 two five seventy eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy of the phone 157 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:07.240 number got a pair of tickets to give away to Saturday Night's contest where the 158 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:13.960 Clippers are taken on Victor Winbinyama and the San Antonio Spurs from Crypto dot Com 159 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.759 Arena. But there's just a lot to sort through in this game from the 160 00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:24.559 Clippers, and by no means was it a well played ballgame by the Clippers. 161 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:26.960 This was more the same of what we saw last season, and I 162 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:33.679 gotta say it's disappointing because they had a chance with their early season schedule, 163 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.919 going against the Magic, going against Utah tonight, the Spurs, in between 164 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.960 both those teams to start the season. Four Now to really get off on 165 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:50.480 the right foot, to erase all that bad taste you'd have in your mouth 166 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:56.480 post game after so many games last season. Now, Clippers came out, 167 00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.720 didn't play the right way in the first quarter. Granted, Utah was hot 168 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.360 from the outside, and there's not much you can do with some of those 169 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:05.639 three pointers. I'm thinking about Kawhi Leonard all over thht on one in the 170 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.720 far side quarter in the first half that he knocked down right in his face. 171 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.000 It just doesn't matter. I'm thinking about Lori Marknen from thirty feet out 172 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.440 knocking one down in the face of Norman Powell. There's not much you can 173 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:24.080 do. You tip your cap. But Utah after only taking under thirty I 174 00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:28.720 want to say it was twenty nine in three pointer attempts in Game one against 175 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.639 Sacramento. We talked about it with Carlo Jomenez, your radio voice of the 176 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.720 Clippers. They would be hell bent on getting up more threes. Tonight and 177 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:41.080 they did forty one of them, and they hit sixteen. And it was 178 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:46.440 that sixteenth that was the difference maker, that was the critical shot of the 179 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:52.440 ball game, and it was Jordan Clarkson in a game where they were down 180 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:58.600 one he went for three. Could be part of the reason the Clippers weren't 181 00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.679 prepared for that, and they didn't look that prepared on the other end, 182 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.240 they didn't call time out. The official thought they were going to, and 183 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:13.039 the Clippers didn't, and it looked a little discombobulated. You're down by two. 184 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.000 Kawhi Leonard went for the kill shot three he missed. Russ had an 185 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.840 offensive rebound. It looked like there was enough time for him to kick it 186 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.600 out to Nicholas Patoom on the right wing for an open three pointer, but 187 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:28.919 instead turn around fade away. Not to be Clippers fall by two in a 188 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:33.159 game they trailed by ten and early in the fourth quarter, I thought it 189 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.039 was going to be a classic Clippers come back with ten ten left in the 190 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.799 fourth they trailed by ten. Easy for me to say a bit of a 191 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:45.600 tongue twister after marketing a knockdown two at the line. It was ninety seven 192 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:50.159 eighty seven, Utah up by ten, I said on Twitter, get Kawhi 193 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.399 back into the ballgame. About twenty seconds later, he was back in and 194 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.080 started to go to work. Kawhi had nine of his twenty five points, 195 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:03.480 starting with a three pointer in the fourth quarter. Norman Palell got off the 196 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.240 snide. If you're looking for positives and silver linings in a game where the 197 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:13.480 Clippers lost, Norman Powell finding a shooting stroke after a tough opening night, 198 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:18.840 after a tough preseason, and the reputation of getting off the slowl starts well. 199 00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.159 Norm had just six points entering the fourth. He would finish with twenty. 200 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:26.320 Had fourteen points in the fourth quarter, big shot after big shot. 201 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:31.519 A few really nice assists found Mason Plumley for an easy one early in the 202 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.639 fourth after Norm turned the corner multiple times on his defenders and got to the 203 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:41.399 rim. But the Clippers come up short in a winnable game even with all 204 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:48.440 the self inflicted wounds. I see fourteen turnovers on one box score. I 205 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.639 see sixteen on another, and that one says official box score. We'll go 206 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:58.480 with it for now. But too many sloppy turnovers early on in the game. 207 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:04.240 At the half, the Clippers had ten of them. Make it eleven 208 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:11.679 just inexcuseable after a game where you had seventeen Wednesday night against the Portland Trailblazers. 209 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:18.080 You're making it tougher than it needs to be. Utah is talented last 210 00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:19.639 season, they were at the top of the West for a couple weeks early 211 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:25.000 on, and I knew they would give the Clippers their best shot tonight after 212 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:30.600 losing to Sacramento. But you can't give them extra opportunities. What happened to 213 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:36.679 winning the possession battle That was a key talking point throughout the preseason, and 214 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:42.600 at the half, Utah had already attempted eleven more shots than the Clippers. 215 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.919 By the end of the ballgame, Utah attempted ninety six shots, the Clippers 216 00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:57.200 seventy seven, a nineteen shot difference that's almost impossible to overcome. For the 217 00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:03.799 Clippers to be in that game and be leading late before that shot from Jordan 218 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:08.400 Clarkson is almost remarkable. They were up one with forty one seconds left when 219 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:12.039 Utah got the ball, drove down there, set it up and Jordan Clarson 220 00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:18.279 hit that straight away three. They battled back. But I don't like seeing 221 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.279 bad habits like getting down and waiting to have a sense of urgency instead of 222 00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.119 hitting first. I have to be honest about that. I know it's a 223 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:33.119 new season, but there were similarities and some of the same errors, miscusing 224 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:40.119 problems and issues we saw last season too often that we saw into night's Clippers 225 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:42.880 game. It wasn't a back to back. They had a day off in 226 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:48.559 between the victory where they were up by as many as thirty on Portland Wednesday 227 00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:52.720 night. They had time to regroup. They had Bones Hyland, who was 228 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:57.720 questionable earlier dealing with that ankle injury, look pretty damn good in this one. 229 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:02.440 Bones had I want to say, ten points in the first half. 230 00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:08.160 Let me double check this. He had twelve twelve points in eleven minutes in 231 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:15.160 cinndiary. He just is able because when you're running the show, it's not 232 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.720 like anyone else needs to find him for him to get shots up. Bones 233 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.319 brings the ball up to court and he's looking to score, and I'm good 234 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:26.920 with it. I don't care if Kawhi's out there, Paul George. There 235 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.359 are times where those two need breaks and somebody else has to step up. 236 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.720 Norm was great in the fourth quarter and Coach schlu rode the hot hand, 237 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:40.839 but bones, especially in the first half where he was five for five and 238 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:44.920 knocked down two three pointers to get those twelve points. He was helping keep 239 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.039 the Clippers in it. There were some tough performances though by their front court 240 00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:55.359 Aviza Zubots and Mason Plummeley were not good enough tonight. Big Zoo was my 241 00:18:55.359 --> 00:19:03.079 player to watch. Finished with six points and two rebounds in nineteen minutes. 242 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:08.839 That can't happen in a game you're getting dominated on the glass. Mason Plumbley 243 00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:15.680 really struggled. Was a minus eleven out there, just three points in twelve 244 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:22.440 minutes for boards. People are asking me on Twitter because Marketen had multiple offensive 245 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:29.480 rebounds on that tip in late That was a huge possession with forty six seconds 246 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.519 left that put him up one seventeen to one sixteen before Paul George knocked down 247 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:36.759 a couple of free throws to put the Clippers back up one eighteen to one 248 00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:40.519 seventeen. People were saying, well, why is it zooing there? Why 249 00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:44.720 is it Mason Plumbley, Well, rewind what I just said twenty seconds ago. 250 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:48.720 They didn't play well enough, They didn't earn those minutes late they put 251 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.599 coach Luna position where you had to just lean into offense because if we're not 252 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:59.920 getting boards anyways with our bigs, then we're just gonna try to go four 253 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:06.039 offense. Catch back up in this game by playing five out with wings and 254 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:11.200 guards and scores, and it worked, but they couldn't get to that ball. 255 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.839 I know Paul George was there battling Marketing, who had a great game 256 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:19.880 thirty five points. I think he was Zach chick On. This was he 257 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:25.880 most improved player of the year. Last year when Utah was thriving, market 258 00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:30.200 In was an absolute beast. He had a career year. He was that 259 00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.640 good and he was the most improved player. It's gonna be hard for him 260 00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.359 to do that two years in a row because he set the bar so high 261 00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:41.680 and just came out and knocked down five three pointers and finished with thirty five 262 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:48.039 and twelve. Walker Kessler, who worries me, he only had four boards. 263 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:55.240 John Collins, though, also had twelve and five offensive rebounds, just 264 00:20:55.279 --> 00:21:00.039 like Marketing. That's the area. When you look at field goal attempts ninety 265 00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:06.559 six to seventy seven in favor of the Utah Jazz, well, they had 266 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:14.079 two less turnovers and they had eleven more offensive rebounds than the Clippers eleven. 267 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.680 Just brutal. I don't know how you overcome that disparity of seventeen to six 268 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:26.000 in the offensive rebounding category. Clippers almost did, but they looked like they 269 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.200 were trying to get by on talent alone tonight, if I'm being honest, 270 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:37.160 and that's not a great sign. That's what we dealt with last season too 271 00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:41.920 often. And while Russ, I thought had some really good moments and was 272 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:45.119 a part of that fourth quarter and was crashing boards and as a small you 273 00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.000 give him credit. He had a big block too, was making the effort 274 00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:55.000 there. He had five turnovers, all five came in the first half. 275 00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:00.319 But he's the floor general. He played thirty seven minutes. He played as 276 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:06.680 many minutes as Kawhi and Paul George. Paul George had just two turnovers. 277 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:11.319 Kawhi had just won. Russ is your traditional point guard now setting to the 278 00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.440 table. He can't have five turnovers to forress. It's gonna be tough to 279 00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:19.599 win on nights like that. Just four points. By the way, I 280 00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:22.880 thought he showed some heart and some hustle, and I need to see that 281 00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:26.799 play again, by no means, am I putting it on one guy, 282 00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:32.880 But it looked like Nicholas Batum was calling for the ball on that offensive rebound. 283 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.680 Give him credit for that, Russ's It's not even arguable he's the greatest 284 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:45.000 rebounding guard I think ever. But but toom, the first thing I thought 285 00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.559 was the three pointer he hit to tie the game at Madison Square Garden last 286 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:53.240 season where the Clippers eventually won in ot He's got that quick trigger release from 287 00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:57.839 distance. And I'm not sure if there was enough time or if Russ knew 288 00:22:57.839 --> 00:23:02.640 if there was enough time late, but it would have been interesting to see 289 00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:06.000 if Nicholas Patum got that shot attempt as he was wide open from three. 290 00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:11.319 Clippers lose by two in Utah to the Jazz eleventh straight loss in the regular 291 00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.240 season. In Utah told you the free game tough place to play, no 292 00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:21.559 matter how talented they are. If you're talking Stockton and Malone or Darren Williams 293 00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:26.039 and Carlos Boozer, or Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, or guys like markt 294 00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.759 In and Jordan Clarkson and thht Tonight, always a tough place to play. 295 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:34.119 More Clippers talking a pair of tickets to give away to Crypto dot Com Arena. 296 00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:40.960 Sunday Night, Clippers back home taking on the San Antonio Spurs and Viktor 297 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:47.000 Winbnyama best call. When's the pair? I've met a Moslin. You're listening 298 00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:53.400 to Clippers stock, You're already in above seventy LA Sports. They want to 299 00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:59.359 bring a banner with them to the into it down more LA Clippers basketball on 300 00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:11.000 the LA Clippers Audio Network some early season. This one stings as the Clippers 301 00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:17.160 lose by two in a very winnable game late in Utah one to one eighteen 302 00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:22.200 as Russell Westbrook got the rebound with about two and a half three seconds left 303 00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:27.759 off the miss from Kawhi Leonard on the left wing and batoom Is wide open 304 00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:32.559 on the right wing. Call for the basketball and Russ tried a turnaround fade 305 00:24:32.599 --> 00:24:40.119 away over Kelly Olinic. He misses. Clippers lose Olynic by the way two 306 00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:44.079 back to back huge three pointers in the fourth quarter. In the threes were 307 00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:48.240 part of the story, but there's not much you can do with some of 308 00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:52.680 that hot shooting from Utah. Kawhi was up on Olynic, had a hand 309 00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:57.200 in his face, far side corner knocked it down, didn't matter. There 310 00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:04.119 are things you can do for hustle wise on the glass, and the Clippers 311 00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:08.359 simply weren't good enough in that area. Where the Jazz finished with thirty three 312 00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:14.400 second chance points on twelve nineteen shooting, Clippers had just eight second chance points 313 00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:19.680 Utah and those seventeen offensive rebounds leading to nineteen more shot attempts did the Clippers 314 00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:25.480 in tonight? They fall one twenty to one eighteen. All right, phone 315 00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:30.839 calls Javier in Lahabra Heights. You're on Clippers talk without Am awesome Lhaber or 316 00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:37.400 just lab Yeah, Lahabor Heights. Heis Adam at the Heights. Yeah, 317 00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:40.640 real quick? You know what everything you mentioned in the last segment, it 318 00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:42.599 was on spot. I mean, what are all gonna say? You just 319 00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:48.839 said it? I mean we've seen this movie last year, Adam, same 320 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:57.079 the three Things. Turnovers again, sixteen turnovers, second of all, boxing 321 00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:03.680 out, Adam, second chance points unbelievable. I mean they were playing Utah, 322 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:10.160 Adam. You imagine they're playing Dember Phoenix the Lakers. They need to 323 00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:12.799 know how to box out, Adam. I mean it's not that hard. 324 00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:17.839 I mean, you're you're boxing out in high school ball. Here's the problem, 325 00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:22.279 though, Xavier. Their small guys were it's their bigs, that's who 326 00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:26.400 I put this on. It's plumbly. It's a Visa Zoo boss. They 327 00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:30.960 need to be better there. How does big Zoo get two boards in nineteen 328 00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:33.680 minutes? That's why they weren't playing late. The effort wasn't good enough. 329 00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:38.960 Yeah, you know, and you're right, that's what you said. That's 330 00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.119 how they didn't do the last one four or five minutes. And the last 331 00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:47.839 thing, Adam, you nailed it too. How many time out the tit 332 00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:51.119 you have? He did not use the timeout, Adam. He's not going 333 00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:55.680 to take those time off home. Use them, use them, use one 334 00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:57.759 of them. Oh, there's a couple of schools of thought there, Javier. 335 00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:02.400 It's not as simple, is that, Because if you think you have 336 00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:06.319 the matchup advantage, you don't want the Utah Jazz to be able to set 337 00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:08.720 up their defense on the other end. And that's I'm sure what the Clippers 338 00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:12.799 thought they had, and I believe it was Jordan Clarkson on Kawhi Leonard who 339 00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:17.920 settled for a left wing three late. I don't mind that matchup at all. 340 00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:22.039 I don't know if they needed a three pointer, a two ties it, 341 00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.240 Kawhi was going for the win. I don't know if that is the 342 00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:30.480 main reason. We can scrutinize the final play all we want, but when 343 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:36.480 a team gets up nineteen more shots than you, the amount of times you're 344 00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:41.440 gonna win that game is few and far between. It is an extraordinary oddity 345 00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.160 to win a game where a team almost takes twenty more shots than you, 346 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:48.880 exactly. And like I said that before, Adam, like Pat Rdy used 347 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:55.359 to say when he was forshing the Knicks, the Lakers, and Miami rebounds 348 00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:59.319 wins championships. If the Clippers can find a way to rebound and box out, 349 00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:03.119 I'm not going to go far at him. They have to, they 350 00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:08.200 have to leave. I'm with you here and give Adrian Brody the Emmy, 351 00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:12.240 the Oscar, whatever it is. His portrayal of pat Riley unbelievable. I 352 00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:17.039 can't believe Winning Time got canceled. I'm gonna cancel HBO just because that. 353 00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:21.079 Uh Sean and Inglewood Sean, what's up You're on Clipper stock with that? 354 00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:26.240 I'm awesome, Hi, Adam, First of all, let me disqualify myself 355 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:30.920 to win the tickets because I won't be there. I can't believe their Sunday. 356 00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:37.599 So hopefully someone else will win and enjoy the gang. And well, 357 00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:40.839 I hope your call is still good. I hope your call is still good. 358 00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:45.519 Sean. Yeah, I hope so too. I hope you like my 359 00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.839 call. But I'm not call I'm gonna argue with you, Adam. I'm 360 00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.799 just saying that for over two years, we need to have a power forward 361 00:28:52.839 --> 00:29:00.119 that's six' ten in the bow when you're playing Utah Denver if you will 362 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:06.839 San Antonio. Okay, see, they're gonna have two big guys in there, 363 00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:10.599 so maybe zubak Is brought him out one of the big guys. If 364 00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:15.079 you don't realize the other big guy Roman free or had somebody six to seven 365 00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:22.240 trying to guard, and maybe even the guard that their their nature is not 366 00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:27.480 blocking out Sean. If there was a power forward available that the Clippers could 367 00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:32.440 have easily gotten that can also shoot, because you need shooters on the floor. 368 00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:37.480 You get having a guy there for defensive reasons or just rebounding, that's 369 00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:41.880 great on that end, but if he's a liability on the other and takes 370 00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:45.000 away a shooter you're gonna be hurt on the offensive end. No, you 371 00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.720 did. You're taking away what I'm trying to tell you. When you're playing 372 00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.680 a bigger teams. Okay, you put this, you put the double big 373 00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:57.319 fen Okay, Dylu will never ever put double big in. You can't. 374 00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:03.839 Really you want Plumbly and viza zoobots out there at the same time. I 375 00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:06.559 would do it for a minute or two, but that's not the point. 376 00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:11.000 The point that is your point. No, it's not, and it sounds 377 00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:15.240 like a bad one. You're not playing those two guys at once. With 378 00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:19.000 Russ on the floor, there's three non shooters right there. I didn't you 379 00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:25.839 argue with you had played for the team today, they would have won this 380 00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:30.799 game. They lost the game on the board. Have you watched Diabate in 381 00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:33.359 the preseason at all, Sean, Have you even watched him? Do you 382 00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:37.880 think he's earned minutes to be out there boards? He will fight on the 383 00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:45.640 boards better than anybody else. I can't showing Sean, Sean. Robert Covington 384 00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:51.000 fights on the boards and he's almost as big as Mussa Diabate and he's there 385 00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:56.240 starting powerful. He's too small for this team, for this line up. 386 00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.759 He's too small. Get a Viza zoo that's too small, Sean, is 387 00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:06.319 a Visa zubas too small? He had two boards. He's playing one center. 388 00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:11.359 There's other centers on the floor and the Utah. You're playing Utah playing 389 00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:15.079 Golden State. Sean, here's what you're telling me. And no, no, 390 00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.240 no, Sean, I'm gonna take you at your word. You say, 391 00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.559 if Mussa Diabate is out there, so Musa Aviza, Zubos, Kawhi 392 00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.119 PG, and Russell Westbrooks. You're starting five. That's three non shooters on 393 00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.000 the court. Sean. No, I took your point. Take mine. 394 00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:33.079 That's three non shooters on the court. It's just Kawhi and Paul George. 395 00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:41.279 That's what you want. You don't consider a Viza zoobots, Russell westbrook and 396 00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:48.400 Mussa Diabate non shooters. No. See, first of all is anchored in 397 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:53.440 Okay. We know that. Okay, So you need at least shoot from 398 00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:59.839 outside. What are you talking about? What are you talking can shoot from 399 00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:01.680 the outside, Sean, you don't even know the player. I'm sorry, 400 00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:13.200 Oh my god. I can't argue with people that have no idea the scouting 401 00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:19.240 on a player Musa Diabate has shown nothing to tell you that he can shoot 402 00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:22.799 from the outside. Hell, he's been missing layups, floaters, everything. 403 00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:28.039 I love him. He's young, he's developing, that's the point. But 404 00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:31.119 saying you should start him because you're going up against the Utah Jazz and they 405 00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:37.319 have some bigs, great gang rebound. If you want that advantage on the 406 00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:40.680 offensive side of that switch ability and having more shooting, you have to give 407 00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:47.319 something up defensively. In theory, Clippers just need a better effort crash the 408 00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:52.599 boards. They know they're going to be undersize some nights. That's not an 409 00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:58.319 excuse for Vitza Zubas to have two boards, for Robert Covington to only have 410 00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:04.440 two all George had four, Kawhi had nine. There's your leading rebounder. 411 00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:08.160 He tied Russell Westbrook with nine, Kawhi with those three offensive rebounds too. 412 00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:15.839 Yeah, tough one. Sean Jose and Downey Jose. What's up? You're 413 00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:21.720 on clipperstock Hey, and how you doing. I gotta agree with everything you 414 00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:25.000 were saying in the last segment. It just looked like last year the effort 415 00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:30.440 and yeah, all that talk that we heard in the preseason about gonna fight 416 00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:32.759 for the fight for the ball, get to the ball first. Our defense 417 00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:38.519 is gonna be elevated, and we were missing and that lack of effort. 418 00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:43.440 We can't start the game like that, especially against these young teams. Our 419 00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:47.680 track record against these young teams in the last four years have been horrendous. 420 00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:53.359 They need to, like you said, they just need to come out with 421 00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:57.039 the effort. Even if you put in the effort and you're not making all 422 00:33:57.039 --> 00:34:01.319 your shots, I don't think it so hot because once they get hot early, 423 00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:06.640 that confidence goes up and they're gonna take these threes, these Levis threes 424 00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:09.199 or shots like they did in the second half or in the fourth quarter, 425 00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:13.480 that one in the game. I completely agree, Jose. I say it 426 00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:17.159 all the time. You let a young team or a lesser team get confidence 427 00:34:17.280 --> 00:34:21.960 early. It doesn't matter if you put a hand up late. They're already 428 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:25.280 hot, they're in a rhythm. It's too late. That is Coach Low's 429 00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:31.960 point. Start the game with physicality hit first. Clippers were down thirty three 430 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:35.440 to thirty after the first quarter, but I want to say they were down 431 00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:38.519 by as many as eight to ten midway through the first They had to battle 432 00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:43.360 back bones came in gave them some life there towards the end of the first 433 00:34:43.400 --> 00:34:47.840 quarter. It was the opposite of what we saw against Portland, where they 434 00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:54.239 shrunk the floor. They bothered them with their length. I didn't like the 435 00:34:54.320 --> 00:35:01.960 effort out of the gate. Dre let it run. Clippers lose one twenty 436 00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:07.079 to one eighteen to the Utah Jazz on the road, their first loss of 437 00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:09.760 the season. We'll get back to your phone calls. I got a pair 438 00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:14.000 of tickets to give away Sunday night's game. You want to see Victor woman 439 00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:17.159 Yama. I mean, you could probably see him from your house anywhere you 440 00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:20.760 are, he's that big. But if you want to be in the building 441 00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:25.320 at crypto dot com arena eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy eight 442 00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:30.320 six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. Tip time 443 00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:35.760 for that one's at six. Clippers countdown starts at five. Please don't call 444 00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:39.880 me talk about Mussa diabat tonight. I just if the Clippers are relying on 445 00:35:39.960 --> 00:35:45.800 Mussa Diabate to save them on the boards, then they've already lost. He's 446 00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:51.719 not ready yet. He had a great game his first stint against Portland, 447 00:35:52.519 --> 00:35:55.119 and after that it looked like deer in the headlights at times. He's a 448 00:35:55.159 --> 00:36:00.719 young player. It's understandable he'll get there, and he plays a lot in 449 00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:06.719 the G League. Still seasoning. Clippers fall by two tonight in Utah. 450 00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:15.000 You're listening to a five to seven LA Sports. They want to bring a 451 00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:20.320 banner with them to the into it dull more LA Clippers basketball on the LA 452 00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:30.360 Clippers Audio Network. Yeah. I mean, the Clippers lost tonight because they 453 00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:37.920 didn't get bords. But if Musa Diabate has to start for that to change, 454 00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:42.800 I think you're gonna run into some other problems. Clippers lose one twenty 455 00:36:43.320 --> 00:36:49.000 to one eighteen to the Utah Jazz in Utah. Frustrating one just game two. 456 00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:53.639 But let me tell you the Clippers schedule. What's the line from Game 457 00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:58.960 of Thrones The night is dark and full of terror. It's treacherous and full 458 00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:02.880 of terror. It's not exactly tiptoeing through the tulips in a few weeks. 459 00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:09.840 So you have to win the games that are winnable against lesser competition. And 460 00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:14.880 this looked like the Clippers regressing and resorting back to some of the play we 461 00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:20.000 saw last season where they just weren't locked in enough, weren't aggressive enough consistently. 462 00:37:20.360 --> 00:37:22.800 And yeah, there were good performances. Paul George fifteen points in the 463 00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:28.400 third quarter, had ten straight from him at one point, Kawhi Leonard nine 464 00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:31.800 of his twenty five in the fourth, but took a tough three pointer. 465 00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:37.039 Russ got the rebound with three point three seconds left. Now, for all 466 00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:40.320 those just blaming Russ and saying, well, you got to see that, 467 00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:45.519 Nicholas Batoum is calling for the basketball. I brought it up to and he 468 00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:50.639 is. But it's tough in the moment to know exactly how much time is 469 00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:54.239 left. By the time he gets to the floor off the rebound, it's 470 00:37:54.239 --> 00:38:01.119 already almost a two seconds situational basketball though, and he took a tough fade 471 00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:05.800 away over Olenk. It was short and buttoom is calling for the ball. 472 00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:10.599 I trust Batum with that shot implicitly, He's hit it too many times. 473 00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:15.559 One of his first games is a Clipper, we started calling him Saint Nick. 474 00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:21.360 I think it was against Denver. Had a big shot against Phoenix from 475 00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:24.480 distance his first year with the Clippers. Mentioned the shot against New York last 476 00:38:24.559 --> 00:38:30.559 season to get them into overtime with zero time left on the clock, and 477 00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:34.320 he got it off and they eventually won that one. Welcome back in the 478 00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:37.719 Clippers stock, I'm out of Moslin eight six six nine eight seven two five. 479 00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:40.440 Seventy of the phone numbers still got a pair of tickets to give away 480 00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:45.440 the Sunday Nights game at Crypto dot Com Arena Clippers going up against Victor winm 481 00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:50.280 min Yama and the San Antonio Spurs and Greg Pofovich Omar on Long Beach. 482 00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:54.719 What's up here on clipperstock with that Amasen?

Because that is key? That is key, move on about be 486 00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:22.679 about I mean after Zubab It's like we need help down there. Plumb Plummy 487 00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:27.639 didn't even show up tonight. Like look, look, Omar, plumbly had 488 00:39:27.639 --> 00:39:30.719 a bad night. Zubat's had a bad night. I get it, you're 489 00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:32.960 frustrated, but these are your guys. Gotta you gotta roll with them. 490 00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:36.679 I mean, Zoo's coming off a game where he had twenty twelve and four. 491 00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:42.079 You're right, man, But it's tough, man. We got to 492 00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:49.320 get over the hump. We're finely healthy as a unit. Tough one slip 493 00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:52.559 away, tonight, tough one slip away. No, it's a good point, 494 00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:55.639 Omar, and stay on hold for me. You're in the running for 495 00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:59.239 the tickets, all right. Stay on hold, Omars, all right, 496 00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:02.880 because you don't know how many games you're gonna get where the Clippers are this 497 00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:08.639 healthy with Kawhi and Paul George, they've won seventy percent of the games they've 498 00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:14.679 been out there together as Clippers. Unfortunately, they've only played in about thirty 499 00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:20.199 three percent of the total amount. It's somewhere around three hundred and thirty games 500 00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:27.679 available over the last four seasons. You gotta get wins there. And I 501 00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:35.480 just didn't like those same bad habits popping up like whack them mole, Clippers, 502 00:40:35.519 --> 00:40:39.840 fix one thing, you plug a hole there, A new league starts 503 00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:46.239 in the ship. You have to get better performances from Viatz Zubots and Mason 504 00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:52.679 Plumbley though. That's what they are there for games like this where teams are 505 00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:59.079 big, strong and crashing the boards. Jose and Southgate, you're on Clippers. 506 00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:04.639 South of that amasen Jose, what's up? I don't I visually missed 507 00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:07.880 one game and all I'm here as we got to move on from our centers. 508 00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:10.280 What happened at him? But shout out, iHeart radios. I was 509 00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:14.440 at a drunking treat, but a shout out part of the mans French first 510 00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:16.440 on the board. That was the first one for me. But from what 511 00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:20.400 I heard, whenever I put the little heads phone in, don't highland, 512 00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:23.679 he was going off. So that's good. Some consistency and Norman Powell got 513 00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:27.159 it going, which that was good. Like you said, preseason, first 514 00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:30.920 game was looking so good. But I don't say you four no, you 515 00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:35.199 know we wanted to start five to note, come on now, but that 516 00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:37.719 would the Lakers game. I get where you're going with Dudek, say with 517 00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:40.239 your chest, stay with your chest. You know when to start? How 518 00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:45.199 about four and one, because that's what's going to have to be now that 519 00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:49.559 they lost tonight. I'll take that because I was gonna say, but you 520 00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:51.760 know, on our team to stay in the seat and start the season. 521 00:41:51.800 --> 00:41:54.800 But you know that first loss is the one you hate to get, but 522 00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:58.440 also you're waiting to get. That was the team to get the emotions going. 523 00:42:00.280 --> 00:42:01.480 Now, how was gonna say one thing? But you know how it 524 00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:08.760 goes with me. A season's Clippers Jose in Southgate appreciate you, but we 525 00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:15.800 don't hear from Omar enough. Omar coming to the game on Sunday night, 526 00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:20.440 Clippers taken on the San Antonio Spurs. Omar, hold on for us, 527 00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:23.679 Stay on hold, We'll get your information. We'll get you those tickets. 528 00:42:23.719 --> 00:42:28.880 We want to see you at Crypto dot com arena. It is a big 529 00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:34.119 one, to say the least, especially after the Clippers lose tonight. Congratulations 530 00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:37.760 though, Listen to every Clippers game on AM five seventy LA Sports all season 531 00:42:37.880 --> 00:42:43.519 long and you two can win some tickets like Omar in Long Beach. Tickets, 532 00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:46.119 by the way, are in section one eleven, row thirteen. I 533 00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:52.760 think you'll be close enough to see the seven foot five wonder of the World, 534 00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:57.440 Victor wibin Yama. It's gonna be a good time. Clippers, though, 535 00:42:57.480 --> 00:43:00.800 need to win ball games because the godlet shows up in a couple of 536 00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:07.840 weeks from now. Just playoff team after playoff team after elite team after championship 537 00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:12.840 team. They'll see the Denver Nuggets early in the season and these are the 538 00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:15.360 ones you look back on. I can remember last season some of the games 539 00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:20.440 they lost early on that would come back to bite them. A couple of 540 00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:24.280 games to ok se in Oka see early in the season. Good team, 541 00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:30.639 but Clippers have more talent okay see. This season definitely a problem. They 542 00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:34.880 lost two games to the Orlando Magic. Those things come back to haunt you. 543 00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:40.079 So if I sound harsh or overly critical because the Clippers lost by two 544 00:43:40.159 --> 00:43:46.199 in Utah, it's just because I'm looking at the schedule and I know how 545 00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:51.880 much tougher it's going to get, and they're not even close to entering the 546 00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:55.039 teeth of their schedule. I set it for a long time now. The 547 00:43:55.239 --> 00:44:00.639 softest part of their schedule is at the beginning of the season, included tonight's 548 00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:02.800 game in Utah. You don't overlook anyone. I knew Utah would be tough 549 00:44:04.199 --> 00:44:07.239 and it would probably come down to the fourth quarter, but the Clippers made 550 00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:13.199 it tougher on themselves, down ten with ten ten left, and they just 551 00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:19.519 didn't take advantage of the talent disparity and having Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, 552 00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:23.599 and it looked like they were just showing up late when they needed to to 553 00:44:23.639 --> 00:44:30.000 have another Clippers comeback instead of imposing their will from the opening tip. And 554 00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:34.639 that's what's frustrating and a little bit discouraging tonight. We'll see what happens Sunday 555 00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:37.960 against Victor wemben Yama. Before we get out of here, Omar, you 556 00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:40.880 stay on hold. Don't you be going anywhere. We're gonna get you those 557 00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:45.599 tickets. I do want to bring in Zach attack. Our producer did a 558 00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:51.960 fantastic job tonight, and we're gon call this one in one. Zach gets 559 00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:54.920 a question towards me, I gotta throw one back at him. Zach, 560 00:44:55.360 --> 00:44:59.920 what do you got hit me? My question is about Robert Covington. Okay, 561 00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:01.960 Roco, A lot of fans were upset with the lack of playing time 562 00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:04.880 he got last year. Why are we going there tonight? I mean, 563 00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:07.800 come on, see you no seeing him? These first two games this season, 564 00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:12.760 he's been underwhelming. I but do you look you're box score watching? 565 00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:16.119 Do you think underwhelming? Yeah? He can pastic game one? Then why 566 00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:20.519 are we complaining about rebounds? Why do we have people like Sean calling in 567 00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:24.159 about Diabate getting playing time instead of Roco? Well, Shawn's nuts and I 568 00:45:24.199 --> 00:45:30.599 love him, but he always he wants to play three bigs, forget the 569 00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:36.239 two towers. He wants to go back to nineties NBA ball and doesn't realize 570 00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:38.039 those guys would get stretched out on the other end, on the perimeter, 571 00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:42.800 and therefore they wouldn't be getting boards anyways because they're not close to it. 572 00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:46.159 Roco was great, I thought in Game one, contesting everything at the rim. 573 00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:51.679 He only played twenty minutes to Night one of three four points, just 574 00:45:51.760 --> 00:45:55.559 one board, So to your point, a few different guys were off, 575 00:45:57.239 --> 00:46:00.760 but I'm not worried about it. Roco in the starting lineup until Terrence Man 576 00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:05.199 returns, and maybe it's by committee after that. All good. Before we 577 00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:06.960 get out of here, do you have a question for me, I got 578 00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:09.840 a question for you. Yes, guy, you'd least like to fight on 579 00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:15.880 the Clippers roster because you are a mooe Thai expert and you're undefeated. Yeah, 580 00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:17.239 unlike the Clippers. Right now, I would have to say, Kawhi. 581 00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:20.760 It makes sense. He's got those hands. He's like a He was 582 00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:23.599 in that terminate commercial, very scary, oh with the red eye with the 583 00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:28.039 red eyes. Yeah, got come with me if you want to win. 584 00:46:28.159 --> 00:46:31.519 That's usually what I like to use with Kawhi the terminator. Good answer, 585 00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:35.079 Thank you, Zach. Before we get out of here, I do want 586 00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:37.280 to thank the Clippers organization.
