WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:06.559 Time for a postgame Look, it's your La Clippers. This is Clippers Locker 2 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:10.000 Road, brought to you by Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of the 3 00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:15.000 La Clippers, and by Putschonga, official travel casino of the LA Clippers. 4 00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:19.559 Breaking down today's action with the pre and post game voice. If you're La 5 00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:25.160 Clippers, They're locking in every game every night. Adam Osland Big time defense 6 00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:28.800 being played in Big D by the Dallas Mavericks as the Clippers are held to 7 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.399 ninety points and lose Game three by a final score of one on one to 8 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:36.640 ninety. Welcome in your postgame show. This is your Clippers locker room show. 9 00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:39.520 I'm Adam Oslin coming up on the Patriot Am eleven fifty. We'll have 10 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.200 clipperstock for you. Eight seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty eight seven 11 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:47.560 seven five to two zero eleven fifty. But first back out to American Airlines 12 00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:52.359 Center with your voice of the Clippers in Carlo Jimenez Carlo. In this one, 13 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:57.079 the Clippers just once again could not get their offense unglued. They were 14 00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:03.119 stuck in mud. There were some uncharacteristically performances from Paul George and Kawhi Leonard 15 00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:06.680 James Harden had a hot first half but really cooled down after that, and 16 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.640 the Clippers just didn't have enough to keep up with Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncis 17 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.680 down the stretch in this one. No, I mean at the end of 18 00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:17.000 the day, and then the Clippers they got it close a couple times, 19 00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.840 but they just couldn't get over the hill. Kyrie, Irving and Dallas built 20 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:25.200 that lead in Irving really kept them aflow nineteen points in the second half for 21 00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:27.799 him. The Clippers couldn't find a rhythm offensively. Credit Dallas. I mean 22 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:32.959 it started with the Lobs early. I thought they were excellent attacking above the 23 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:37.159 rim, something we hadn't seen all series with something they had done all year. 24 00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:42.159 Second in the NBA and dunks since acquiring Gafford and Washington. And so 25 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.439 for the Clippers, there's a lot to think about in this one. I 26 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.840 thought, obviously, the first thing that jumps off the page of me at 27 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:55.319 him nineteen turnovers allowing twenty nine points. Not gonna win a lot of all 28 00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:57.799 games when that is the number. But there aren't positives to take away from 29 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.200 this one. Norman Powell was excellent seven for eleven of the game. He 30 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.920 had twenty one off the bench. It was great to see him get in 31 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:07.879 rhythm of eats zubats once again. I mean, I mean, you've been 32 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:12.800 screaming it from the mountain, yelling it with your signs and posters. But 33 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.960 nineteen points on eight for eleven, I thought he remained well. James Harden 34 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:21.120 being aggressive shooting the basketball. What was interesting to meet at him is Tyl 35 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.080 looseid. He wants PG and James to shoot ten or more threes. No 36 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:27.360 one got to ten threes in this one, and see if the Clippers have 37 00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:31.000 more of a considered effort to shoot the three next time. But at the 38 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.520 end of the day, the Clippers lost the game, and you got a 39 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:38.719 chance to salvage that all on Sunday. You can win that game. And 40 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.000 this game goes into the bank as just another loss for the Clippers. But 41 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.120 the pressure mounts big time for Game four, no doubt about that. They 42 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.280 have to regroup and they have to refocus. Here I'm looking at Paul George, 43 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.879 who once again got into foul trouble early and it just seems to take 44 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.759 him out of his offense. Just taking eleven shots in this ball game. 45 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.280 I know he only ended up playing thirty minutes, but it's not enough. 46 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:06.560 He either has to get it going. The Clippers are in deeper trouble against 47 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:10.199 this Dallas Mavericks team because Kawhi Leonard quite frankly, did not look right in 48 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:15.599 this game. In fact, he looked better on Tuesday night where he played 49 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:19.240 thirty five minutes. Tonight just twenty five and ended up being a blowout late, 50 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.879 so they took him out of the ball game. But you could see 51 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:27.080 the timing the turnovers that he was having just so out of character for Kawhi 52 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.840 Leonard, who's so sure handed with the basketball, with those big hands, 53 00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.520 and he had four of them and they just looked I don't know, it 54 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.520 was foreign to me seeing Kawhi Leonard have those type of turnovers. You could 55 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.680 see the rhythm, the timing isn't there, and Paul George has to lead 56 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:47.000 in those situations one hundred percent, and he struggled in this one from the 57 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:53.000 field just three for eleven, one for five from three seven points. If 58 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.039 you're looking at the Clippers side, Paul George isn't going to have a game 59 00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.639 like this again in this series. I mean, he just doesn't have back 60 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.919 to bet games where he's not scoring double figures. Hopefully, this is a 61 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:06.199 game in which you know, we're talking about Kawhi Leonard taking a step forward 62 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.360 next time, finding a little more that rhythm, not a step backwards like 63 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.719 he did from game two, and Terrence Man's gonna hit a shot. Russell 64 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.920 Westbrook hopefully attacks the rim a little bit more and gets inside the lane. 65 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:25.199 The Clippers, there's things to take away. You're gonna have duds in the 66 00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.920 playoffs. This was, no doubt a dud for them. I thought they're 67 00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.439 excellent on their defense on Luka Donci Chatham was the best it has maybe been 68 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.360 in the playoffs. I mean, twenty two points to get there on twenty 69 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:39.040 five shots. They made him work. This is the guy who averages thirty 70 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:43.759 two in the playoffs, highest among active players, thirty seven against the Clippers, 71 00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.480 and he had twenty two today and had to get twenty five shots to 72 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:50.079 get there. Three for thirteen from three. The Clippers have the blueprint on 73 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.839 Doncic. There is no doubt. It's the question of can you do it 74 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:58.519 offensively? Not probably what we thought we would say during this series, but 75 00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:00.839 that seems to be the sigma the puzzle for the Clippers right now. I'm 76 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.360 gonna hold back on going that far with Luca Doncis because he could obviously go 77 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.720 for a huge Game four, but I agree with you their defense has been 78 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:12.439 very good. Russell Westbrook early on, I think took him out of a 79 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:16.199 rhythm, but it was a hot blooded, chippy ball game with ejections including 80 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:21.000 PJ. Washington and Russell Westbrook. Late. Russ was playing with a ton 81 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:25.240 of emotion out there, but it just felt like there were a couple runs 82 00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:30.160 that Dallas had where Russ was forcing things on the offensive end, taking some 83 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.519 tough three pointers. We know that's not his shot, and he finished just 84 00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:38.319 zero of seven to nineteen minutes. We like the energy from Russ, but 85 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.360 I think he's just got to rein it in a little bit here, and 86 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:46.240 the Clippers just have to regather themselves a little bit heading into that game four, 87 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.240 because, as you mentioned, they're in the lions Den right now, 88 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:53.399 and the Dallas Mavericks seemed to feed off that energy from Russell Westbrook, booing 89 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.680 him every time he had the basketball, every time at the free throw line 90 00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:00.480 when calls went against him. It just seemed like it almost gave the opposition 91 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.600 energy in this case, which is something we're not used to seeing. Yeah, 92 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:08.439 I mean he became enemy number one in this building, which is nothing 93 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.680 new for Russell Westbrook. I mean that's he's been enemy number one a lot 94 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.120 of his career and a lot of buildings in the NBA, but definitely tonight 95 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.959 in this one, felt like he gave them an extra step while he gave 96 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.560 the Clippers an extra step to begin the game with the way he had blocks 97 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:28.120 and steals. Clippers, something's gotta click for this team at him, because 98 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.879 they just they didn't have it going early. I think Paul George started three 99 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:32.839 for four. I think he missed his last seven shots in this game. 100 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.279 I have to get double check that it was either three for four or two 101 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:41.079 for three one of those. But really really struggled down the stretch the offense. 102 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.279 I think if James Harden doesn't have it going, I mean we talked 103 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.360 about it, but the stretch with plumb Ley's on the floor for seven straight 104 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:51.160 minutes that it felt like the Clippers maybe had an opportunity to get Zubotz back 105 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.720 into the game earlier. I think if you're tylu Adam keep off eat to 106 00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.319 Zubats on the floor. Give it to him. He's been so good for 107 00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.759 this Clippers team, so good, I mean, I hope he gets seventeen 108 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:06.600 shots again in Game four. The Clippers don't have to get too fancy. 109 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:11.680 Feed Big Zoo, get out of the way, play old school basketball. 110 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.759 I know everyone's in love with the threes and the big time shots, the 111 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.560 step back, the isolation plays, but I'd love to see the Clippers post 112 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:21.759 Zoo up until Dallas stops it two possessions in a row. No, completely, 113 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:26.600 they're over complicating things. They have an advantage there with Big Zoo, 114 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.360 who was eight of eleven for his nineteen points, but only getting eleven shots 115 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.920 when you're by far the most efficient guy out there, that is, getting 116 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:38.079 the best looks at the basket and playing with force, and to only get 117 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:42.199 thirty two minutes after playing just thirty three in game two. To me, 118 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.240 if anybody's gonna play forty minutes in Game four, it's gotta be a vitza 119 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:47.920 Zoo bots because we know how good he is on the defensive end. Two 120 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:53.000 when he's given you great offensive possessions, it's really a bonus, but it's 121 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.040 necessary in this series against the Dallas Mavericks. To me, that is a 122 00:07:56.079 --> 00:08:00.199 path to victory for this Clippers team with the struggles with the jump shooting going 123 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.879 on right now, find Big Zoo for some easy ones early and often. 124 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.959 And speaking of we got an early contests coming up for Game four on Saturday. 125 00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.480 Make it Sunday in Dallas. Tiptime is at twelve thirty. We will 126 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:18.360 have your pregame show starting at eleven thirty. Carlojmenez, my guy, great 127 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.279 call. As always, we'll talk to you then, Adam, we don't 128 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:24.079 have to wait forty eight hours. Let's go, big game, Big game, 129 00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:28.360 can't wait. Clippers fall one, O one to ninety in Game three. 130 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.600 We'll get to some second half highlights in your postgame box score next right 131 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.320 here on your Clippers Locker Room show on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network. 132 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.919 Back to more of the NBA playoffs on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers 133 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:48.360 Mavericks continues now stream us anywhere you go on the iHeartRadio app. The Clippers 134 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:54.639 scored just ninety points and lose by eleven in Game three in Dallas to Luka 135 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.600 Doncis, Kyrie Irving and the Mavericks and they are down two games to one 136 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.559 in this best of seven first round series. Coming up on the Patriot AM 137 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.399 eleven fifty, we'll have Clippers Talk eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty 138 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.759 eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. But well, we have a 139 00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.240 moment. Let's pause ten seconds for station identification here in Los Angeles Clippers Audio 140 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:22.559 network. This it is LA Clippers Basketball AM eleven fifty k EiV, Los 141 00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:30.919 Angeles about and iHeartRadio station. Clippers ended up. It seems far too respectable 142 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.799 for the final score, shooting forty five percent from the floor, but the 143 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:39.960 problem was they only got up seventy shot attempts. Dallas had eighty six sixteen 144 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:46.919 more why offensive rebounds eleven to eight in favor of the Dallas Mavericks, and 145 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:52.919 the Clippers had ten more turnovers, nineteen turnovers leading to twenty nine points. 146 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:58.559 Just beating yourself at that point, self inflicted wounds. Can't win a ball 147 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.240 game, can't win a play off game when it's played at a slower pace 148 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:11.399 because you're supposed to be valuing possessions more and you have nineteen turnovers. Ugh, 149 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.480 you're just putting yourself in enough hill battle and the Clippers were after getting 150 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.159 off to a quick start twenty three to eighteen in the first quarter. It's 151 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.320 not as if their offense was great, but Dallas was missing early on. 152 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.480 And I'm certainly not putting it on one guy. I'm putting it on a 153 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:35.159 lineup I didn't love with Evitza's zoo Bots being out. It was Mason Plumley 154 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:41.399 at the center position, I want to say, late in the first quarter, 155 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:46.919 early in the second quarter, and the Clippers got beat up something fierce. 156 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:50.519 I thought they let go of the lead when they led by six at 157 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.320 twenty six to twenty, and really, we're only scoring because James Harden was 158 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.559 knocking down threes and just got scorching hot. It wasn't running their offense, 159 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:05.120 it was just Isoball Harden got hot. They found him. It's not sustainable 160 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.399 him hitting four to three pointers in the span of I want to say, 161 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:18.440 about four minutes, and when those stopped falling, what offense are you falling 162 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:24.679 back on? How do you get back into a flow? The Clippers never 163 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:33.120 really did. They led by eight after a James Harden make it seven three 164 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:39.120 pointer at the nine oh eight. Mark Luca answered right after that with a 165 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:46.080 three of his own, and then Dallas started to make their run and they 166 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:52.159 went up after Derek Jones three pointer at the six point fifty mark, thirty 167 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:58.399 seven to thirty two, and I don't believe they ever looked back after that. 168 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.320 The Clippers scored just eighteen points in that second quarter. They got doubled 169 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:09.360 up thirty six to eighteen in favor of Dallas in those twelve minutes. But 170 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:16.720 the lineup that was out there, I first guessed it it was a mere 171 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:22.639 coffee next to I want to say it was Mason Plumley, Norman Powell, 172 00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:37.039 it was Russell Westbrook out there, and James Harden that five without Kawhi because 173 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.799 he's dealing with the right knee injury, without Paul George because he got into 174 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:48.320 foul trouble. That was in early momentum swing where the Clippers just gave it 175 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.159 right back. Leading by six, not a huge number, leading by seven, 176 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:58.559 not a huge number, but the Clippers at least were playing good enough 177 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:07.440 defense and had some semblance of an offense, and then it just went away. 178 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:13.679 They relied on isoball and not a system out there, and they fall 179 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:20.480 one one to ninety in Game three in Dallas. More on this box, 180 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:24.720 who are coming up? Plus we'll have Clippers stick for you on the Patriot 181 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.639 Ame eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five 182 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.679 to two zero eleven fifty. We'll talk about some of the emotionally charged plays 183 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:41.320 in this game. Russell Westbrook with a flagrant one and then later being ejected. 184 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:48.600 He and PJ. Washington russ in nineteen minutes over seven one point four 185 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:56.440 from three is really the number that stands out.

Back to more NBA Playoff basketball right here 188 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.480 on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers fall in Game three, one on 189 00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:22.279 one, two ninety another inept offensive performance and Kawhi Leonard doesn't look right. 190 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:28.360 Fact, you looked worse in this game movement wise, production wise, nine 191 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:33.120 points in twenty four minutes, four of seven shooting. He still outscored Paul 192 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:39.639 George, which is pretty inexcusable. PG thirteen three of eleven. He's not 193 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.960 the one dealing with an injury. He's dealing with foul trouble and it seems 194 00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:50.080 to be affecting him and getting into his head. Three of eleven from the 195 00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:54.600 field, seven points in a game three where the team that wins Game three 196 00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:01.559 wins a series after it's tied one to one seventy four percent of the time. 197 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:05.039 So big loss for the Clippers, who were led by James Harden with 198 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.399 twenty one. While that damage was done in the first half, Norm Powell 199 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.080 was very good bounced back performance from him after the first two games. He 200 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.639 had twenty one off the bench, four of six from three. Well, 201 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:22.600 what stings is Luca was seven for twenty five. You can't lose that game 202 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:28.480 when Luca is that off and looked hurt himself, left for a little bit 203 00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:33.159 with the knee injury, came back in still had some critical plays, and 204 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.720 then Kyrie Irving with I want to say it was nineteen of his twenty one 205 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:39.840 points in the second half, big shots fall away three to his left. 206 00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:46.440 Insane, Clippers in trouble down two games to one. Game four is coming 207 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.080 up on Sunday, pregame at eleven thirty, tip off at twelve thirty. 208 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.360 Outside of Los Angeles, we were leaving you until then.

Oh, 218 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:48.480 this is a tough one, Clibernation. They fall in Game three, one 219 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:55.720 on one to ninety in a game where two one three probably had their worst 220 00:16:55.720 --> 00:17:00.080 playoff game together. We'll talk about it here on Clippers Talk on the Patriot 221 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.839 AM eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five 222 00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:08.680 to two zero eleven fifty A, Madame Moslin, this is Clipper's Talk. 223 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:12.279 We'll get to your phone calls. I think we'll hear from Will Updyke, 224 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:18.240 from Clips and dip gonna hear from the head coach post Game two. Clippers 225 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:27.160 started off leading after the first quarter, but something that stood out to me 226 00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:33.160 that was alarming right off the bat was Kawhi Leonard was taken out at the 227 00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:40.079 six minute mark of the first and he didn't come back in will. He 228 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:44.640 only had played four more minutes in the second quarter, so ten minutes he 229 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:49.599 played total in the first half. To me, that was a bad sign. 230 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:55.039 I don't know if we'll hear anything about how he's doing on the right 231 00:17:55.119 --> 00:18:02.359 knee, but playing less minutes after playing thirty five in Game two Tuesday night 232 00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:11.079 and only playing twenty five tonight isn't a good sign. Neither was his lack 233 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:18.319 of aggressiveness and the uncharacteristically bad turnovers by Kawhi. He just looks out of 234 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.559 sorts, and I was really hoping he could build off some of those flashes 235 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:27.720 he had in Game two, because I'm here to tell you this with everybody 236 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:33.440 saying, well, maybe they shouldn't play them at all. They're better without 237 00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:40.839 Kawhi Leonard. They won Game one without him. They won Game one because 238 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:45.559 of fluky hot shooting from the outside, where they hit eighteen threes. That 239 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.559 masks a lot of their issues offensively right now, and there are issues. 240 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:56.160 You scored ninety points in a ballgame, you have nineteen turnovers, you unravel 241 00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:03.599 against Dallas, and this defense that I tried to warn everybody about that has 242 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:10.400 been top ten the second half of the season. Much to be concerned with 243 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:15.839 with this Clippers team and that performance. I said on Twitter, I don't 244 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.720 know if you can have a burn the tape light game in the playoffs. 245 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:26.279 You want to learn and adjust and you have to watch it. But if 246 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.640 there was ever a game where you would just light it on fire afterwards, 247 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:37.680 kill it with fire, it would be this one. Kawhi Leonard doesn't look 248 00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:45.119 right because of his injury, and Paul George doesn't look right because he can't 249 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:49.920 stay out. A foul trouble was even worse in this game. Picked up 250 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:55.000 three fouls in the first half. Fourth foul, I want to say, 251 00:19:55.039 --> 00:20:02.759 early in the third quarter. Looks frustrated in his own head, wondering why 252 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:07.920 in a game that they've been calling so loosely, with the physicality out there, 253 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:12.240 why he maybe is being targeted. He was frustrated last game about it. 254 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:19.759 There were some tiki tak calls. There were also some defensive lapses by 255 00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:26.599 the Clippers that just can't happen, and Paul George has to stay in the 256 00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:32.599 game, and I mean even when he's out there, stay in the game. 257 00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.559 Seven points on three of eleven shooting one of six from the outside cannot 258 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.440 happen. When you know Kawhi Leonard is battling through entury, you're the other 259 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:52.400 guy. James Harden pulled his weight to some degree. He kept the Clippers 260 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:57.279 afloat in the second quarter by just going nuclear from distance. Finished with twenty 261 00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.759 one points seven of thirteen shooting five elevate from the outside. Probably should have 262 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:12.319 gotten up more than thirteen shots, but Paul George space cadeting in this game. 263 00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:19.759 He got into it with coach lou on the bench after his fourth foul, 264 00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:30.920 and Russell Westbrook got into it with the Dallas Mavericks and their entire fan 265 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:41.480 base. Russ was bringing great energy initially, great defense on Luka Dancish caused 266 00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:48.039 a couple of steals. The Clippers were in control up twenty three to eighteen 267 00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:56.640 after the first quarter, but that foul I believe on Josh Green on the 268 00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:03.599 breakaway dunk where Russ did go for the block, but he still got a 269 00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:11.000 flagrant, and he got the fans up in arms and energized their fan base 270 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:17.839 in the Dallas Mavericks team. He ignited the wrong team. His emotions completely 271 00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:22.240 got the best of them. He ends up getting ejected in the game later 272 00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:27.599 on after a hard foul on Luca where he had him spinning, and then 273 00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:33.920 Luca came over to say something and Russ pushed him. PJ. Washington pushed 274 00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:40.039 Russ. He pushed him back. It was just a circus, just out 275 00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:45.119 of control. Can't happen, not a game like this. Gotta stay level 276 00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:53.519 headed, channel your emotions the right way. He's been great at that with 277 00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:59.559 this Clippers team. He's been their heartbeat, their soul at times, the 278 00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:07.920 drama of this team. And then some tonight in a game where he went 279 00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:15.359 oh of seven and took to awful three pointers when the Clippers were making a 280 00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:18.720 run and chipping away at an eighteen point lead that I want to say they 281 00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:29.400 had down to six in the third quarter momentum killing three pointers from Russ. 282 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:37.000 It's not his shot, it's not what he does, it's not his forte, 283 00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:41.440 it's not why he's the top seventy five player of all time. You 284 00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:52.599 have to be careful, you have to play within yourself, and I just 285 00:23:52.640 --> 00:24:00.839 felt like that was a little too much hero ball. I'm not saying that's 286 00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:04.519 the reason the Clippers lost the ball game those minutes. As I mentioned earlier 287 00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:11.359 in the postgame show, with Mason Plumley playing seven straight to start off the 288 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:17.799 second quarter, ineffective minutes at that. He didn't look good in Game two, 289 00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:22.279 he didn't look good in Game three. Don't think he played any in 290 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:30.400 the second half. Now I ended up getting three more somewhere. Didn't like 291 00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:37.640 that lineup. I believe it was Plumbley, Russell Westbrook, a mere coffee, 292 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:44.119 James Harden, and Norman Powell, who actually did have a good ballgame. 293 00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:48.759 They need more from him. In thirty minutes, he had twenty one 294 00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:56.599 points, four of six from the outside. But this offense looks clunky, 295 00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:08.319 unfocused. They look like that intentionality is missing. And if you want to 296 00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:12.440 say it's because Kawhi Leonard and they're trying to force things with him, I 297 00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:17.319 didn't think they were in this game. I thought he tried to ease his 298 00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:21.920 way into it more, get into the flow, only taking seven shots when 299 00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:25.400 he took seventeen on Tuesday Night speaks to that. You want to say it's 300 00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:30.440 about Kawhi Leonard, I think you're missing the big picture. I don't think 301 00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:36.480 the Clippers offense was very good in Game one, outside of hot shooting from 302 00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:41.640 the outside, going fifty percent from three and making eighteen of them. I 303 00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:45.519 think it covered up an offense that hasn't looked good so far. And the 304 00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.480 Dallas Mavericks, especially since Game one with Jason Kidd calling him out for a 305 00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:53.119 lack of physicality, have been the tougher team out there defensively, and they 306 00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:59.000 must have gotten close to ten lobs in this game after I want to say, 307 00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:03.079 not having more than one he won the first two games. I don't 308 00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:11.839 know if coach lou was out chess matched because coming into it we all thought, 309 00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:18.279 oh, they're gonna go small with Maxi Kliba. That's been effective for 310 00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:22.839 them, and they threw him for a loop because Gafford started off quick. 311 00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:30.960 He had a couple of putbacks, Derek Lively had thirteen off the bench, 312 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:36.799 a couple of blocks. Their bigs played much better, and the Clippers continue 313 00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:45.720 not to give theirs enough opportunities Beatza Zubots can't only take eleven shots in a 314 00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:49.880 game where everybody else is having trouble scoring outside of him and Norman Powell, 315 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:57.440 and he only plays thirty two minutes. Still played thirty three Tuesday night, 316 00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:02.920 like he could have gone the entire second half. They took him out to 317 00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:07.640 go small. They got beat They were minus four tonight. He's eight of 318 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:12.480 eleven in his thirty two minutes and has nineteen and eight. Give him more 319 00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:17.720 run. Where's the desperation, where's the urgency? It's the playoffs, It's 320 00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:21.160 game three? Whin are a Game three in a series tied one to one 321 00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:27.039 wins the series seventy four percent of the time. I would have let it 322 00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:33.920 ride further. I don't understand how Mason Plumbley can go seven straight minutes in 323 00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:40.240 the second quarter. It was bad basketball. He just hasn't been good enough 324 00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:45.440 the last two games. He's an older player, doesn't have the same ability 325 00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:49.400 he used to. Daniel Tye still hasn't sniffed the floor in this series. 326 00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:55.000 I get you're trying to match him up. I guess against Derek Lively because 327 00:27:55.000 --> 00:28:03.720 of his size, but his defensive instincts aren't very good and Dallas was thriving. 328 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.200 With him on the floor, He very quickly was a minus ten out 329 00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:15.480 there. The Clippers were up seven. You can say it wasn't because of 330 00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:22.160 a sound offensive system, but a system and James Harden his nickname, was 331 00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:32.240 at least getting it done from the outside. Hit four three pointers. But 332 00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:37.279 defensively they're just letting Dallas off the hook, playing big plumb. In that 333 00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:44.279 second quarter, where Dallas was most successful, scoring thirty six points, they 334 00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:52.759 doubled up the Clippers thirty six to eighteen in that second quarter. To me, 335 00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:59.880 that was the first big turning point. That lineup in the second quarter, 336 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.640 without Kawhi out there, without Paul George out there because he had his 337 00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:14.799 third foul, and without a Visa Zubats in there. That the RUSS flagrant 338 00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:21.720 on Josh Green, which got Dallas into it, got him hot. That 339 00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:32.759 was the first big turning point. But then in the third don't understand why 340 00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:37.720 when it's a six point game, Russell Westbrook is out there taking two, 341 00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:40.920 yes, wide open three pointers. There's a reason for it. That's part 342 00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:45.400 of Dallas's game plan to give him wide open shots like that. It's a 343 00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:49.559 six point game. The Clippers have just gotten back into it, and Russ 344 00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:55.240 has back to back missed threes. He was already oh for two. I 345 00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:57.640 think at that point, why is he taking a third, let alone a 346 00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:04.640 fourth. He didn't make a shot in the game, and I thought we 347 00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:07.920 might be seeing a replay of what happened in Game three and twenty twenty one 348 00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:11.319 down nineteen with the Clippers come back. They were down eighteen in this one 349 00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:19.920 in the third quarter and they just started playing low IQ basketball. As Patrick 350 00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:23.559 Ewing would say, do you practice that shot? Is that your shot? 351 00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:27.279 I know russkn hit some clutch ones here and there, it's not a shot, 352 00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:33.559 and it wasn't necessary. They had a pass go right through his hands 353 00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:42.000 from Viza Zubots after he had a turnover trying to find Big Zoo, and 354 00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:48.119 the Clippers still stood that Zoo had a big and one Norm Powell was fouled 355 00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:55.039 on a three and they had it down to six points in the third that 356 00:30:55.440 --> 00:31:00.200 was their shot. Instead, Russ started taking the long type of shots. 357 00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:07.559 It's not his game. He should have been attacking, getting downhill, getting 358 00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:14.880 two on the basketball and finding others because it's just killing your space and playing 359 00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:18.079 four on five out there. Because they're not even guarding Russell Westbrook on those 360 00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:22.319 threes that he missed. I don't know if it's pride messing with them, 361 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.440 as Marcelos Wallace would say, in a way, I don't know what it 362 00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:36.759 was, but I think he got too far into an individual battle because emotions 363 00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:41.839 were high as he was chirping with players out there, the crowd was on 364 00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:47.799 top of them. But it just ended up being out of control. Can't 365 00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:51.400 happen in a playoff game, especially in a game where you just battled back 366 00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:55.400 and had it to within six after you were down eighteen. Clippers lose one 367 00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:57.920 on one to ninety in Dallas in Game three to the Mavericks, Quick time 368 00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:00.279 out. We'll come back. We'll get your phone calls. Eight seven seven 369 00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:05.559 five to two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty 370 00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:12.240 is the phone number. I'm at a Mosland and you're listening to Clippers Talk 371 00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:16.440 on the Patriot AM loven fifty, Bill Mavericks and the Clippers. This is 372 00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:22.920 the NBA Playoffs on the La Clippers Audio Network stream us anywhere you go on 373 00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:27.200 the iHeartRadio app. Welcome back in I'm out of Mosland. After the Clippers 374 00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:32.960 fall in Game three one on one to ninety to the Dallas Mavericks. They 375 00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:40.480 had nineteen turnovers. Kawhi had some turnovers that were just head scratching, strange 376 00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:45.359 to see type of miscues with his handle, which is one of the best 377 00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:50.680 in the NBA. That to me says he's just not right. Yet you 378 00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:54.200 never see that from Kawhi eight seven seven five to zero eleven fifty eight seven 379 00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:58.400 seven five two zero eleven fifty. I'm out of moslind you're back in on 380 00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:01.920 the Patriot AM eleven fifty after the Clippers go down two games to one in 381 00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:08.000 this best of seven series. I got a lot of calls here Corey in 382 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:12.759 La. You're on Clipper stack with Adamasen. Yes, sir, how you 383 00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:15.720 doing well? I think you heard. What's up? Corey? How you 384 00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:22.079 doing? Honestly, in a vacuum, I would say, you know, 385 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:25.880 Game two we had the excuse of we just shot like crap and Kawhi was 386 00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:30.400 coming back. And Game three, on paper, it's an eleven point game. 387 00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:35.359 We shot better than them. We basically won all the stats except, 388 00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:38.839 as you mentioned, turnovers and second chance points, which obviously when I think 389 00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:42.319 they had eighteen more shots than we did. I think I want to say 390 00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:45.160 they had like five or six offensive rebounds on the first quarter. Dallas. 391 00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:52.559 Yeah. But so you know, like the optimist in me says, oh, 392 00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:54.680 you know, like we're just playing like, you know, crap, 393 00:33:55.119 --> 00:34:00.160 and these are things we can six. But you know, when a guy 394 00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:05.039 comes back from the inflammation and he plays thirty five minutes, you can kind 395 00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:10.199 of chalk it up to being rusty. The rotations, say, were a 396 00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:14.360 little bit worries. So obviously you play six minutes I think in the first 397 00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:17.719 quarter, then you sit for eleven minutes, and you play a total of 398 00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:22.880 twenty five minutes. That's when I knew something was up. Corey he goes 399 00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:27.559 out at the six minute mark, and I'm waiting and I'm waiting and I'm 400 00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:30.440 waiting. I thought he was going to start the second quarter, and Kawhi 401 00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:34.880 Leonard didn't come back. My guess is it was either a twenty five minute 402 00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:38.840 restriction or thirty which is not good because he just played thirty five on Tuesday 403 00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:44.079 night. Yeah, so that's not trending in the right direction. But did 404 00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:47.280 you see so the first play of the game, he got an end one. 405 00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:50.840 I think and he looked a little bit shooken up, shaking up. 406 00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:54.960 But I think what stood out to me was if you remember the sequence where 407 00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:59.679 he had the dunk and then the value he hung on the rim, yeah, 408 00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:02.679 for maybe ten seconds, looking like, as long as I touch the 409 00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:07.360 ground in slow motion, I'll be okay, you're right. Otherwise this is 410 00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:09.360 gonna this is going to sting. So I just like, I'm not a 411 00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:15.440 doctor. I'm just a lifelong self hating Clipper fan, the most loyal fan 412 00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:19.039 based in the world. But uh, I just don't I mean, I'm 413 00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:21.159 not a doctor, like I said, but me inflammation, I don't see 414 00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:23.440 how you go from thirty five to twenty five and clearly are injured and then 415 00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:28.079 expected to Just I don't think this is a rust thing, is my point. 416 00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:30.440 And so yeah, I think we're clearly the better team when we're healthy. 417 00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:35.559 I like we've been. We've been. We've been doing a fantastic job 418 00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:38.920 on Luca and Kyrie, and you know, their defense are defensive ratings great, 419 00:35:38.960 --> 00:35:43.480 their offensive ratings not great. In the series, we're holding them, 420 00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:46.000 you know, to one hundred points. But Kawhi is just not right, 421 00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:53.199 and so I think it's just it's unfortunate and it's it's honestly, it's dejecting 422 00:35:53.239 --> 00:35:57.559 as a Clipper fan. Just year after year. Just yeah, this this 423 00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:00.320 era somehow become more frustrating the lobstate, and I feel like a doomer right 424 00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:04.159 now. But I just when he hung on the rim for ten seconds and 425 00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:07.119 then came down, that to me just said a lot. So anyway, 426 00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:10.559 that's my rant. It's a fair point, Corey. I appreciate the phone 427 00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:15.639 call. Calling on Sunday, hopefully under better circumstances. This era is being 428 00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:22.239 defined by injuries right now. That's the truth. The Clippers losing two games 429 00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:29.400 where Dallas only scored one hundred and one points to ninety six points is unfathomable. 430 00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:32.639 When coming into this series, everyone would have thought, oh, first 431 00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:42.280 to one twenty wins, who gets more stops? And now this all right? 432 00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:49.920 Kawhi Leonard didn't look right. That was an important moment. I was 433 00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:52.880 excited by the fact that he was able to get up for that allue. 434 00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:59.880 But remember he's a left leged jumper. He uh doesn't need his right leg 435 00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:04.880 necessarily to get up off the ground. It was coming back down afterwards. 436 00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:20.440 I was extremely concern for Kawhi right after that first stint, because I thought 437 00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:22.239 he was going to come back to start the second quarter. When that didn't 438 00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:25.639 happen, I knew something was up. Gilbert in West Covina. You're on 439 00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:30.559 Clipper staff with that, Am Austen, what's up, Adam? First time 440 00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:34.519 caller, A long time listen. I love your show man disappointed, you 441 00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:38.039 know the Clippers. I think that's the last time we see Kawhi Leonard this 442 00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:42.440 year, and I'm good with that. They should start a mere Coffee like 443 00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:45.880 in Game one and let the other guys handle it because it's it's it's not 444 00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:49.360 gonna work out. He even said it right now in the press in the 445 00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:52.400 postgame presser. You know, if he was gonna play, it's going to 446 00:37:52.440 --> 00:37:55.239 be limited. So I think we've seen the last of Kawhi Leonard. Here 447 00:37:55.320 --> 00:38:00.440 here's my question, Gilbert. Can they win this series without him? Yeah? 448 00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:05.159 Absolutely, I think they can. I love a mere Coffee's energy, 449 00:38:06.360 --> 00:38:08.639 Russell off the bread off the bench, you got merman, Palace, got 450 00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:12.360 a step up, you got a good game today, And yeah, I 451 00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:14.639 think we can. I think we can do it. You know, I 452 00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:17.079 think Russell Westbrook's uh, you know, the lot when you got a key 453 00:38:17.199 --> 00:38:22.039 up for that against what's his name. I think that was the message to 454 00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:23.239 send men's team, you know, and I like it. I think we 455 00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:28.360 uh, I think we have the next game hashtag fire Lawrence Frank, I'm 456 00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:35.239 out. Yeah, great, dismount there. I was gonna say, appreciate 457 00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:42.480 the phone call. Look, I don't know realistically if they can win this 458 00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:46.159 series without Kawhi Leonard. I thought they could compete. I think it's possible. 459 00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:52.360 I think it's a lot to ask, especially down two games to one. 460 00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:57.719 Now, that's what concerns me. They're in this whole. They need 461 00:38:57.800 --> 00:39:02.719 a victory coming up in Game four on Sunday badly. Jose and Downey can't 462 00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:07.519 go down three games to one, right Jose, No, you can't, 463 00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:14.880 and honestly you can't. You're I gotta say they're not serious about winning if 464 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:19.360 you're not giving the ball to Zoo as much as you can down there, 465 00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:22.800 Like you said, he could have gone way more minutes. But even like 466 00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:27.639 to go back to Game two when they win up what like six points with 467 00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:30.599 like seven minutes left in the fourth, you could have mugged up the game 468 00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:37.559 by giving Zoo the ball under there and it's still kid has still hasn't shown 469 00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:45.400 that he has somebody to answer Zoo under the basket like that. It frustrates 470 00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:47.639 me to no end, Jose, I've been talking about it all season long, 471 00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:51.920 really for years. They forget about Zoo. They don't get him involved 472 00:39:52.039 --> 00:39:55.599 enough. There's an easier way to win ball games, and it's scoring paint 473 00:39:55.639 --> 00:39:59.239 points with the Vita Zoo bots. I want to say, in the first 474 00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:07.239 half of this game, the advantage in points in the paint was drastic. 475 00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:13.000 It was thirty two to fourteen Dallas with a ton of lobs in there, 476 00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:16.719 and I viatsa zubats all right, how do you keep him out for seven 477 00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:21.559 minutes? For Mason Plumbley did? Did he ask to stay out that long? 478 00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:27.400 It was baffling to me. Yeah, yeah. And then and you're 479 00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:31.320 right, the shooting was fifty percent. Uh the first game was gonna be 480 00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:36.280 uh it. Obviously they weren't gonna stick to that. It wasn't gonna be 481 00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:37.320 fifty percent. No. I mean, if you can at least give you 482 00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:40.119 the average of you know, what they were averaging, what was it like, 483 00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:43.840 thirty eight thirty nine percent, you have a good chance of that. 484 00:40:43.960 --> 00:40:46.079 But I mean, if you're gonna play Kawhi when he's not right, you're 485 00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:50.480 not gonna be able to rotate. Well, you're not gonna be able to 486 00:40:50.559 --> 00:40:54.719 generate the shots that you usually would would when he's out there healthy. So 487 00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:58.199 at this point, might as well just sit him out. I mean, 488 00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:02.639 at least I feel like some of those fouls were they were rotating late. 489 00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:07.320 I mean, I'm not saying that they were making up for Kawhi, but 490 00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:09.039 if you can't, if he's not that mobile, you're gonna be making up 491 00:41:09.079 --> 00:41:15.639 for him, You're gonna get to uh rotate late or over. Well. 492 00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:20.039 Oh, look, defensively, they've been good with Kawhi, that's not the 493 00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:22.880 problem. On offense, they've been bad. But I'm not just gonna put 494 00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:27.000 it on Kawhi and make that the excuse. Oh, Kawhi's back has thrown 495 00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:29.760 them off. They don't have the chemistry, they don't have the same flow. 496 00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:32.440 What does that have to do with Paul George picking up all those fouls? 497 00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:38.000 What does that have to do with that that's on he got He picked 498 00:41:38.079 --> 00:41:42.760 up too many fouls. He picked up too many fous the third game of 499 00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:47.519 this. Yeah, I appreciate the phone call Jose, I do. We 500 00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:50.639 just got a lot of calls. I want to make sure to get to 501 00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:53.639 everybody. Henry and Garden Grove. Henry, you're on Clippers sock without a 502 00:41:53.679 --> 00:42:00.679 Mausland Adam. Look, I've been a Clippers fans who the Gemmy Manning Ken 503 00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:07.920 Norman days. I'm so frustrated with you know, Terrence man A Mere Coffee 504 00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:12.679 has these wide open three pointers and they keeps freaking missing. I don't get 505 00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:16.000 it why these guys are I'm not I'm not starting a game talking about Terrence 506 00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:21.639 Mann and a Mere Coffee. When Paul George and Kawhi Leonard combined for sixteen 507 00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:25.199 points. Oh yeah, that that that's also look at I guess can we 508 00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:30.880 start with the stars. And I don't even want to start with Kawhi because 509 00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:34.400 I know he's playing hurt. No, I don't know why to talk about 510 00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:37.320 Kwai. Kwai is playing with one with one with one leg, Dude, 511 00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:42.000 he should be on the bench. PG drives to the hole and he does 512 00:42:42.079 --> 00:42:45.960 his crazy stuff where he tries to pass his ball. He has open shotsing 513 00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:50.400 doesn't take them. It's frustrates stay on him. I don't get what's going 514 00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:53.639 on with his mind is playoff peak. I don't know what's going on. 515 00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:57.639 I just don't get it. Oh look, I thought overall he was good 516 00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:00.000 the first two games, twenty two points, probably not enough, could have 517 00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:04.119 been more aggressive in game two when he only took fourteen shots, he made 518 00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:07.480 seven of them. Everybody else was struggling, and he started off hot and 519 00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:12.639 did not stay aggressive tonight. The foul trouble clearly took him out of this 520 00:43:12.719 --> 00:43:15.280 one. Clippers lose one oh one to ninety in Dallas in game three, 521 00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:22.719 Game four coming up on Sunday, Kawhi Leonard post game say he's trying to 522 00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:28.280 help the team. He wants to play in game four. Has it looked 523 00:43:28.320 --> 00:43:30.960 right? If you want to talk about whether or not he should be playing 524 00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:32.559 right now, we can do that. Eight seven seven five two zero eleven 525 00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:36.840 fifty. I'm at h Am Moslin and you're listening to the Patriot AM eleven 526 00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:42.400 fifty. Back to more of the NBA playoffs on the LA Clippers Audio network. 527 00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:46.960 Clippers Mavericks continues now stream us anywhere you go on the iHeartRadio app. 528 00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:52.519 Oh, it's that type of night. Clippers getting friend zoned in Big d 529 00:43:53.320 --> 00:43:58.119 They lose one o one to ninety in Dallas to the Mavericks. I'm at 530 00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:01.000 a Moslin. You're listening to the Patriot AM fifty eight seven seven five two 531 00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:06.239 zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five to zero eleven fifty. If we have 532 00:44:06.400 --> 00:44:08.000 time a lot of calls here, we'll get to coach lou. But I 533 00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:15.000 saw this from Kawhi Leonard. This was my fear all along. He said 534 00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:19.760 his need did not respond the way he wanted it to after the first game. 535 00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:22.719 He's confident it will come around. That was the big question mark. 536 00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:28.199 You played for the first time in almost say month. How is it going 537 00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:31.800 to react? Is the swelling gonna subside? Is it going to increase? 538 00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:37.039 He didn't look good out there. He looked worse than he did Tuesday night. 539 00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:39.920 I know, Clipper Nation, I'm with you, Uh, Harold, 540 00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:44.559 Oh, Harold in North Hollywood, Harold, what's up? You're on clipperstock 541 00:44:44.599 --> 00:44:49.119 with a am Ausland and a nice talking to you. You know, I 542 00:44:49.239 --> 00:44:53.039 really think they should shut down Kawhy for the season. Wait, the guy 543 00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:57.639 who says they shouldn't load manage them? Now now you want him shut down? 544 00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:00.519 I thought you guys you want him to play through all these injuries all 545 00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:06.920 the time, Harold, I never said that. Really, we'll go go 546 00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:09.719 on. What do you think the solution is to winning this series? Oh, 547 00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:19.840 there's no solution. They look so miscongobulated on offense tonight. I couldn't 548 00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:24.639 tell what they were running and Dallas didn't play that well either. I mean 549 00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:30.719 Harden had it off night. I mean Westbrook, my bruin. He's not 550 00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:34.840 helping the team. He looks like he's out of control. I don't think 551 00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:37.480 who's doing that good at job of coaching this team. All right, Harold, 552 00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:43.280 I appreciate the phone call. I mean it tracks that Harold would call 553 00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:45.519 in tonight. Hasn't called in a month. Clippers are down two to one, 554 00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:52.320 scores ninety points in Dallas. Yeah, def Con three At this point, 555 00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:58.039 I don't know Marvin in downtown Los Angeles. Now I know Marvin still 556 00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:00.880 believes that this team can win the series with out Kawhi. Leonard, Marvin, 557 00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:06.320 am I misquoting you? Hell no, we talked about it. Have 558 00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:08.559 a big believe I even mentioned it that it would have been best to kept 559 00:46:08.679 --> 00:46:13.880 Kawhi out of the first round. But nonetheless, it is what it is. 560 00:46:14.079 --> 00:46:17.559 But the evidence was in the first game, even without they were able 561 00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:22.199 to win the game because they played more of a team they have, Marvin, 562 00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:25.000 Is that what it was? Or did they just go fifty percent on 563 00:46:25.079 --> 00:46:29.920 three pointers which isn't sustainable, because that's what I saw in game one. 564 00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:37.840 They hit eighteen threes. They hit eighteen threes. Yes, was it great 565 00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:43.679 process or just hot shooting? It was? It was both a little bit 566 00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:47.880 of both. Also, Dallas didn't show up in game one, and I 567 00:46:47.920 --> 00:46:52.400 appreciate the phone call. We're short on time, but as soon as Jason 568 00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:53.880 Kidd got to the podium after Game one, he called him out for their 569 00:46:53.920 --> 00:47:00.800 lack of physicality. Since then, Dallas has been bullying the Clippers. They've 570 00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:06.199 been the tougher team. They've been in attack mode. And Daniel Gafford woke 571 00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:12.400 up early in this one. I didn't think they could win the series if 572 00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:15.039 he didn't get back to playing the way he had been since the trade deadline. 573 00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:20.000 First two games, he was miserable, got banged up, got injured, 574 00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:23.559 left both contests back in Dallas. This is what happens role players. 575 00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:30.480 Their confidence returns. Maxi Cliba hit a big three pointer late in this one, 576 00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:34.400 but we all thought, oh, they're gonna go small again. They're 577 00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:37.679 gonna run things with Maxi Kliba, And I think this hot start by Daniel 578 00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:42.760 Gafford through the Clippers for a little bit of a loop because their big men 579 00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:46.320 showed up. He and Derek Lively in this one. Uh, Javier Lbrights, 580 00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:50.559 Xavier, what's up here on Clippers? Sock? Hey, what's up? 581 00:47:50.559 --> 00:47:52.719 I having called in a while. But you know what, it's the 582 00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:55.639 same, same, same thing. You know, It's happened the last couple 583 00:47:55.639 --> 00:47:58.320 of years. And I told you this a couple of years ago, and 584 00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:02.199 you had a Noah Eagle. I said, Man, the Slippers they gotta 585 00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:06.360 win the next couple of years, and and every time the playoffs starts, 586 00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:12.599 Cowhi is always something with that guy. And at this point he has to 587 00:48:12.679 --> 00:48:15.000 play. I mean, you're right, they cannot win without him. They 588 00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:19.199 cannot win. What can they win with him playing like this though, is 589 00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:24.320 the question? But I mean he's your superstar, Adam. I mean you're 590 00:48:24.320 --> 00:48:29.519 gonna go, well, look, they're not gonna they're gonna they may get 591 00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:35.519 out of the first round without him. Maybe they're not gonna win a championship. 592 00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:38.400 They're not a contender without Kawhi Leonard, so sooner or later he has 593 00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:45.320 to play for them to reach their ceiling right correct at this point, then 594 00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:47.559 you then then we could do this, just rest them for game four. 595 00:48:49.320 --> 00:48:51.679 They're gonna be down three to one, resting for a couple of days and 596 00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:55.000 bring them back game five. I mean, if that's maybe that will work. 597 00:48:55.239 --> 00:48:58.440 I mean, that's the only thing, because it's not working the last 598 00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:01.119 two games. So maybe a rest in game four, get him back at 599 00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:05.639 home and let him play him my game five, and then maybe he's back. 600 00:49:06.199 --> 00:49:08.159 But at this point, I mean, and you're right, you got 601 00:49:08.199 --> 00:49:13.360 it feat Zubach, I mean, what is title doing. You gotta Seebach 602 00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:16.440 that this is a bad habit. I appreciate the phone call, hobby Er, 603 00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:19.280 it is good to hear from you. Hopefully we do it again on 604 00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:23.159 Sunday, but it's a bad habit built up over years of Eata zubats getting 605 00:49:23.239 --> 00:49:28.079 lost in the shuffle, and now when he's most effective and you need him 606 00:49:28.159 --> 00:49:32.519 most, you're reverting back to just forgetting about him, over and over again. 607 00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:37.880 Seven minutes with Mason Plumley on the floor. I'm wondering if Coach lou 608 00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:43.480 was asked about that post game. We'll hear from him next Quick time out. 609 00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:46.599 Clippers lose one on one to ninety in Dallas in Game three. They 610 00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:50.719 are down two games to one in this best of seven first round series. 611 00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:55.519 I'm out of Mousland and you're listening to the Patriot AM eleven fifty streaming Clippers 612 00:49:55.639 --> 00:50:01.119 basketball the first round of the NBA Playoff. Continue to back to more NBA 613 00:50:01.320 --> 00:50:07.639 Playoff basketball right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers lose in Game 614 00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:13.679 three, one on one to ninety in Dallas to the Mavericks. Kawhi is 615 00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:17.840 not healthy, Paul George can't stay out of foul trouble. Russell Westbrook was 616 00:50:19.239 --> 00:50:25.480 out of control. This team has to find themselves. They can't go down 617 00:50:25.519 --> 00:50:29.280 three games to one. Not impossible to come back from that. They do 618 00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:32.519 have coach lou He's done it in the NBA Finals before. But it's gonna 619 00:50:32.519 --> 00:50:36.760 be very difficult against the Dallas team that's playing much better defense. As I 620 00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:39.480 tried to tell everyone before the series, maybe you don't want Dallas, maybe 621 00:50:39.519 --> 00:50:45.760 you want the Pelicans. Nobody listens to me more as an Inglewood. What's 622 00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:49.199 up? You're on? Clippers? Hock he gives who I saw on TV 623 00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:54.159 twice. I saw on TV twice tonight, Carlos, Steve Javi, Steve 624 00:50:54.280 --> 00:50:58.239 Javiy. You know what you don't see Steve Javiy in the eighty two game. 625 00:50:58.440 --> 00:51:00.920 I ain't seen that brother for eighty two game. I get into the 626 00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:02.400 playoffs. I saw him twice in one game. What am I trying to 627 00:51:02.440 --> 00:51:07.800 say? They getting physical? Man? This game is getting really physical. 628 00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:10.119 Ruscott all upset. He got upset because if they gave him some money to 629 00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:14.360 throw the basketball and Yoshan, he couldn't find the ocean. That's what he 630 00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:15.840 was upset about. Now, Sunday, Adam, look at don't get too 631 00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:21.039 though, don't get too crazy. Sunday is game four. Sunday is game 632 00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:23.599 four. When Sunday we're back. Yeah, I'm not with lady Adam. 633 00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:28.119 It's game four. They win, Sunday, we're back on park. In 634 00:51:28.239 --> 00:51:30.880 terms of Kawhii planning and not playing, I'm gonna have to leave that up 635 00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:31.920 to the coach in the medical staff. And do they have enough to be 636 00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:35.840 Dallas without them? I believe they do because they show us they got some 637 00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:38.679 depth. Now I'm gonna get some credit to that coach from the Who's coaching 638 00:51:38.760 --> 00:51:44.000 damas Now that the Jason kid Dallas was ready. They came out. They 639 00:51:44.039 --> 00:51:46.280 were physical. It's a it's a different some of the presidents complaining about how 640 00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:50.679 they call him the game differently in the playoffs. It's always like this in 641 00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:53.039 the playoffs. Man, they don't they let you play in the playoffs like 642 00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:57.679 watching football players play. But on Sunday, I'll tell you, on Sunday, 643 00:51:57.840 --> 00:52:00.320 all they got to do is win on Sunday. And with we get 644 00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:04.000 all this conversation, okay, and this plays the Kawhi leonars An gets a 645 00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:07.079 little bit bit on Sunday at them. Behave yourself, go get kicking another 646 00:52:07.159 --> 00:52:09.639 cast somebody to scared to death. I'll talk to you, lady Morrison long 647 00:52:09.679 --> 00:52:15.039 Beach. I appreciate the optimism. You're right you went on Sunday. It's 648 00:52:15.119 --> 00:52:23.679 best out of three with two games possibly in Downtown LA. Not possibly, 649 00:52:24.039 --> 00:52:28.920 it will be at Crypto dot com Arena. Can you win in seven again? 650 00:52:29.440 --> 00:52:34.039 Yeah? Problem is they had a healthy Kawhi Leonard in twenty twenty one. 651 00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:37.199 It took a forty five spot from him in game six just to get 652 00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:44.480 it to a game seven. And this Dallas team is better configured now for 653 00:52:44.559 --> 00:52:49.400 the playoffs. They're tougher. They may not have as much shooting. But 654 00:52:49.480 --> 00:52:54.679 when you have two high end players stars, two of the toughest shot makers 655 00:52:54.840 --> 00:53:00.199 in NBA history, and Luca and Kyrie Irving who hit that diculous three fall 656 00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:06.719 into his left, you got enough offense. You got just enough. You 657 00:53:06.840 --> 00:53:10.920 can't lose a game where Luka Doncic goes seven to twenty five. Though this 658 00:53:12.159 --> 00:53:14.800 is the one. If the Clippers lose this series, it's gonna feel like 659 00:53:15.199 --> 00:53:19.679 this is when it got away from him. But if you don't have Kawhi 660 00:53:19.800 --> 00:53:22.360 Leonard healthy, you're just not going that far anyways. This team, though, 661 00:53:22.480 --> 00:53:27.400 they are deep enough. I agree with that with Moore's long beach to 662 00:53:27.519 --> 00:53:32.480 at least be competitive and make it interesting because defensively they've been spectacular. The 663 00:53:32.559 --> 00:53:37.679 problem is Dallas has been even better on that end. So how about playing 664 00:53:37.719 --> 00:53:44.239 through Big Zoo. You talk about path of least resistance all the time when 665 00:53:44.280 --> 00:53:50.000 it comes to getting out of the West. What about just winning a ball 666 00:53:50.079 --> 00:53:55.519 game? If heatsa zu Bots, he's your high efficiency guy. His points 667 00:53:55.599 --> 00:54:00.079 come at the basket. Nobody's been better from five to nine feet. He 668 00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:05.280 was better than Jokic in that area this season. Maybe get him more than 669 00:54:05.320 --> 00:54:09.760 eleven shots in Game four. I'm gonna post a graphic I made from the 670 00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:15.199 old Keishawn Johnson book. Just give me the damn ball for Fetza Zoo Bots. 671 00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:17.360 That's what we're going with for Game four. If Paul George is gonna 672 00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:21.599 get in a foul trouble like this, make Big Zoo the number one option. 673 00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:24.280 Clippers lose one, O one to ninety in Dallas the Mavericks. Game 674 00:54:24.360 --> 00:54:29.719 four coming up on Sunday, twelve thirty, Tip eleven thirty pre game. 675 00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:31.000 Right back here before we get out of here, I do want to thank 676 00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:37.320 the Clippers organization.
