Steph Curry would finish with thirty eight and the Golden State 7 00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:44.439 Warriors would finish off the Clippers with a twenty two point comeback that started with 8 00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:49.039 three minutes and fifteen seconds left in the third quarter. They go on to 9 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:54.439 defeat your Los Angeles Clippers one fifteen to one oh five. Welcome into Clippers 10 00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:58.280 Talk. I'm Adam Oslins. Coming up on the show. We'll get to 11 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:03.000 your phone calls here at eight six six nine, two seventy. We'll also 12 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.079 here from the head coach, Seron Lou postgame actually momentarily here on the show. 13 00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:14.319 And well you know him as LA Clippers Film on Twitter. That's not 14 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.799 his real name, believe it or not, it's Justin Wilson. But he 15 00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:23.640 does fantastic work and really gives the details. You know the details on ESPN 16 00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.840 that little show they do where Phil Jackson will break down old Chicago Bulls film, 17 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.680 you'll see Peyton Manning breakdown film. I think it's only on an espen 18 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:38.439 plus, but it's cool to see it from that perspective. And Justin Wilson 19 00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.719 is one of the best out there when it comes to sifting through film and 20 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:45.599 finding out what's really happening out there on the floor, and we need his 21 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.640 wisdom on a night like tonight where the Clippers again, we're up by twenty 22 00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:57.280 two with three minutes in fifteen seconds left in that third period, and then 23 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.200 the Warriors went out school were them in the next fifteen minutes by thirty two 24 00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:07.560 points. Golden State hit seven threes in the fourth quarter, and step only 25 00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:13.240 had one of them. He only had five points in the fourth. It 26 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:17.520 was the others for them. As Shack loves to say, Wanna Maker hit 27 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:23.159 a big three pointer. Eric Pascal had seven of his twelve points in the 28 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:28.199 fourth quarter. Steph got them going, He got them in rhythm. He 29 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.360 gave them confidence in that third quarter with his nineteen points and made the Warriors 30 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:35.759 believe they could win. And then the rest of the guys followed suit in 31 00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:38.719 that fourth quarter, even without him, they went on a big run to 32 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.919 start it, and it looked like the game from Wednesday night for a second, 33 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:49.080 where all of a sudden the Clippers were down. Two minutes into the 34 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:53.919 fourth they were down six, but unlike what happened Wednesday, where they were 35 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.360 able to stem the tide a little bit and lock down the Golden State Warriors 36 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.439 with great defense late, where they only gave up four points in the last 37 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:05.680 four minutes of that game Wednesday night, they gave up thirty four points total 38 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:10.520 in the fourth quarter tonight while scoring just eighteen and Kawhi Leonard had a couple 39 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:14.759 of buckets. But as hot as Paul George was early in the game, 40 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.599 or he had twenty three points through three quarters, he would have just two 41 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:23.439 more points in the fourth quarter. But I'm not even looking at the starters 42 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.520 for what happened in this one, because Serge Ibakapa played really well, had 43 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.599 nineteen points, seven boards, went one of two from distance, did hit 44 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:35.199 a big three pointer in the fourth quarter when they were down six. He 45 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.240 and Luke Kennard hit back to back three pointers to tie the game. I 46 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.840 believe at ninety seven, but then the Warriors would go on another run. 47 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.719 But Nicholas Batoum was good again, started off really hot. He also hit 48 00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:49.240 a three point in the fourth quarter, but he had seven of his ten 49 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.520 points in the first quarter. Got things going, plus six assists, six 50 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.599 rebounds, two steals, does a little bit of everything. He was a 51 00:03:55.599 --> 00:04:04.240 plus ten out there in thirty minutes, which means in I guess, eighteen 52 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:12.479 minutes he didn't play. The Clippers were somehow outscored by twenty five. Patrick 53 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.839 Beverley a plus fourteen in a game they lost by ten. He was good, 54 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.199 had seven points doing the little things, had three offensive rebounds. We've 55 00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:24.720 seen this over and over again throughout his time as a Clipper. You better 56 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.920 get a body on him late in the game because he's going to be diving 57 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.800 in there for boards and loose balls among the trees at times. Two and 58 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:36.399 overall, Paul George, who did start five of five from distance, finished 59 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:41.720 five of seven from three. Still had twenty five points. He had seven 60 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:46.680 assists. He's been playing that point forward under head coach Toronto lou But the 61 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:51.240 bench has been struggling the last week when the Clippers have lost. You look 62 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:55.879 at the starters, they're a plus and the plus minus and the bench and 63 00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:00.720 two guys in particular who uncharacteristically are just not rhythm right now, not playing 64 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:05.360 good basketball. I didn't expect Marcus Morris to hit the ground running the way 65 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:10.399 he did Wednesday night with his twelve points and starting three of three, and 66 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:15.519 tonight looked like a guy whose timing was off. Marcus Morris in just a 67 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.839 second game back, one of seven, two points a Visa Zubots, though 68 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.439 in their losses in their last five games overall, he hasn't taken a lot 69 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:30.560 of shots, but he was one of four. He had one nice sequence 70 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.360 I believe it was in the second quarter where he had a block on one 71 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.879 end, Luke Kennard would get a layup on the other and then Canard would 72 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:43.600 feed him for a nice spin move in the lane and a floater off the 73 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:47.360 glass by Vitsa zu Bots. But those were his only two points and he 74 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:51.399 was a minus twenty six out there. Sweet Lou Williams three of six from 75 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:57.399 the field, a minus twenty five. Lew and Zoo haven't looked like themselves, 76 00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.399 and I think there's an adjustment period going on. Especially with that second 77 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:09.199 unit. The starters look great. Nicholas Batoum has really solidified and crystallized one 78 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.720 of the best starting units in the NBA that was really good last season. 79 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.680 But with Sergebaka now in there at center and with Nicholas Battoum in there as 80 00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:23.079 someone else who's a playmaker and just keeps the ball moving, they look even 81 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.279 better than they were last season, and their net rating would tell you they 82 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.079 have been. And Marcus Morris didn't want to get in the way of that 83 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:36.240 and sacrifice minutes in his game to make sure they kept humming offensively and defensively 84 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:41.240 with that starting unit. And you have to give him a ton of credit 85 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.680 for that. This is someone who was averaging twenty points per game last season 86 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.920 before he came over to the Clippers with the New York Knicks and shooting forty 87 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:54.040 three percent from distance. And he's willing to come off the bench now and 88 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.160 as he said, do whatever it takes for this team to win, as 89 00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:01.920 he appreciated the Clippers making sure he got paid what he was deserved where he 90 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:06.920 had coming with the four year, sixty four million dollar contract this offseason. 91 00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:12.600 But Reggie Jackson, who has played well at times, just played in six 92 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:17.399 minutes, was well. Scored zero points, zero rebounds, zero assists. 93 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:21.759 He struggled out there. Terrence Man was out there for just a second. 94 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:27.600 Luke Kennard, as I'm going through the bench and this box score. He 95 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.319 did play eighteen minutes. He did hit a big three pointer in the fourth 96 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:35.079 quarter, but he still only attempted five shots. I'm just looking for him 97 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:40.439 to be more aggressive. He was a minus twenty two. Give him time. 98 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:44.040 He hadn't played basketball in a year. I've been a broken record with 99 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:48.279 that. But I do think he's gonna get things going when he gets in 100 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.800 rhythm. And overall, that's where it takes for this second unit to get 101 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:57.399 going. They have to build up that continuity with multiple guys who used to 102 00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:03.240 be starters and Aviza Zubos and Marcus Morris now working with Lou Williams, who 103 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.519 has been a six man over and over again with the Clippers, they have 104 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:13.600 to gel the starting unit again. They were fantastic, but when the Golden 105 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:18.240 State Warriors made their run, it came against the second unit. And we 106 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.600 heard earlier even in the pregame, Tylo was talking about now we have to 107 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:28.439 find and figure out rotations. It's one thing to get healthy, which this 108 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:33.440 was just the second game so far this season were and it's only ten games 109 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:39.960 where the Clippers had their entire squad everything at Tyler's disposal. It's one thing 110 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.000 to have that. Now you've got to figure out rotations and where guys fit 111 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:48.320 and who fits best next to one another. And Tyler was gonna be able 112 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.840 to optimize lineups. That is something he is spectacular at. If you go 113 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.000 and look at his time with the Cleveland Cavaliers, a lot of people say, 114 00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.919 well, you had Lebron James. Look at everything he did late in 115 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:05.279 games, playing guys like Richard Jefferson over Kevin Love. He has no fear 116 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.720 of somebody's name who maybe doesn't match his game anymore and the politics of the 117 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:13.840 game and having to play that guy. No, no, no, no. 118 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.120 He's gonna put the best roster out there at all times. So the 119 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:20.399 Clippers do have work to do. The second unit is certainly a work in 120 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.919 progress right now. Well, I'm more Clippers talk coming up next to eight 121 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.080 six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two 122 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:37.039 five seventy. But as mentioned already, La Clippers film is coming on. 123 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:43.360 Yeah, there's a lot. Is it trending? This is a big deal. 124 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:48.200 I don't know if I've heard him on a show. He hasn't been 125 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:54.480 on Clippers Talk before. Justin Wilson will be here next. He's already combed 126 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.720 through the tape. He knows what went wrong tonight. One of those things. 127 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.399 By the way, once again, the turnovers killed the Clippers. That 128 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:07.519 was a key coming into this contest. They had nineteen and they had seven 129 00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.360 turnovers in the fourth quarter. Sometimes it's not even about the total amount, 130 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.200 it's when they come. And they came at the most inopportune time when the 131 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:22.480 Golden State Warriors were clicking on all cylinders and they would finish twenty of forty 132 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:30.679 one from distance. Clippers lose after being up by twenty two two Golden State 133 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.600 by a final score one fifteen to one oh five. More Clipper stock coming 134 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:41.120 up next right here on the M five seventy l a sports clitter there. 135 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:46.759 He erased it at the rim by never had a chains. This is La 136 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:52.799 Clippers basketball on the official home of your La Clippers. Yo. Here we 137 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:58.879 go, yo scenario, Here we go yo. Steph Curry gets nineteen of 138 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.960 US thirty eight points in the third core. The Clippers let go of a 139 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.840 twenty two point lead with three minutes and fifteen seconds left in the third, 140 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:11.039 and they would lose by ten to the Golden State Warriors in Game two of 141 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.440 their mini series up in San Francisco. Welcome back into Clippers Stalk. I'm 142 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.600 Adam Oslin eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six sixty nine 143 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.600 eight seven two five seventy is the phone number? Or get to me at 144 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.039 follow Adam a coming up. You'll hear from the head coach to Ron Lou 145 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.919 But get to this man on Twitter at La Clippers Film. It's Justin Wilson, 146 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:37.519 one of the best follows, a guy who I've followed and argued with 147 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.559 and debated with at times because that's what we do on Twitter. But I 148 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:46.200 hold his analysis in great regard. He goes through tape like it's the Supruder 149 00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:52.000 film. He's the dark room guy, He's the mastermind that breaks down film. 150 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.240 Justin. I appreciate you coming on Clippers Talk tonight. How are you? 151 00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:01.759 I'm better now? Thanks that at intro, Like that was really great, 152 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.360 man. I'm glad to be on. I'm glad to be on you 153 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:07.279 got it. I'm glad you're on tonight because I can't explain all this. 154 00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.080 So the Clippers blow what was a twenty two point lead, and I know 155 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:15.919 a lot of Clippers fans are having flashbacks to what happened last season in the 156 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.759 playoffs and even before that in the regular season. And there have been times 157 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.559 already this season where they had let go of big leads but they held on 158 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.120 to win. Anyways, I'm thinking about the Lakers game, and of course 159 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.240 the game against the Phoenix Suns and against the Denver Nuggets on Christmas. What 160 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.279 do you see on film and what's the reasoning behind some of these leads slipping 161 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:43.759 and tonight it really came back to bite them naturally. It's it's because the 162 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.200 team is cursed, right, like this is some sort of like bubble bubble 163 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.480 PTSD like shout out Mike. He told me, he told me to mention 164 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.519 that, like it's no, no, in all seriousness, you know, 165 00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:03.639 it's it's a it's a process. So, first of all, almost all 166 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.320 teams give up big leads when you're up by that much. And Steph Perry 167 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.960 is one of the fourteen greatest players of all times, so like some of 168 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:18.320 that is just his greatness, you know, other other things, O other 169 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:26.480 stuff like it's game ten and Tyron lewis tinkering with lineup, seeing what works 170 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.919 and what doesn't, and that combination of tinkering along with Steph being a flamethrower 171 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:39.759 led to what happened tonight. I think I think there are some things that 172 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:46.799 the Clippers do that predispose them to avalanches of sorts. We can get into 173 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:52.039 that, but yeah, I think, Okay, well, I think so 174 00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:58.240 the Clippers are near the bottom of the league and free throw attempts and shots 175 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.679 at the rim, and what that means is they take a lot of They 176 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.399 have a lot of great shooters, but they take a lot of tough shots. 177 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:09.679 So when teams get on runs like this, they have a hard time 178 00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.440 stimming that run because none of their guys gets shots easy, and their two 179 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.759 best players aren't really all that dynamic off the dribble to get to the rim 180 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.720 and maybe get a easy to maybe get a foul or something like that. 181 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:31.399 That doesn't explain everything, but it does kind of lend itself to runs because 182 00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.759 you're gonna go hold right and Paul George. I mean, he's had a 183 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:37.399 great start to the season, but once again he had two free throw tempts 184 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:45.039 tonight and only took seven threes. And so I think moving forward, like 185 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:50.159 that's something that is the Clippers may have to like look that, that's something 186 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:56.480 that doesn't make me feel easy. Like I'm sorry to be long winded here, 187 00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:03.559 by the way, their lack of ability to get to the rim and 188 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:09.320 their two best players constantly taking and making tough shots as great shooters as they 189 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.159 are, makes me uneasy for a playoff series against like a good team, 190 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:18.360 a really good team or something like that. That's really the only thing through 191 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:22.799 the first ten games that I'm like, really really concerned about. When when 192 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.679 you just like look at the take, like the Warriors were like coming down 193 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:28.519 the stretch, they had a great run to night, Like in the middle 194 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.480 of the run, Paul George is dancing with the ball at the top of 195 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.399 the key. He had no he was not going downhill. He ended up 196 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.759 with a shot clock violation. Kawhi Leonard was like at the three point line 197 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.440 dancing with the ball, and it's like we don't have anybody. We don't 198 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:48.480 have those guys aren't dynamic enough to get to the rim, and that's kind 199 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.759 of where Lou Williams is supposed to help out, but he hasn't had the 200 00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.200 greatest of starts to start the year. So those are just things that they're 201 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.279 gonna have to like address, and they're gonna have to find a way to 202 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:03.360 get around that. One of the ways that I've mentioned on Twitter that they 203 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.000 can get around that, in particular Paul George is to take more threes. 204 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.159 He only took seven threes tonight, and that's not enough. If you're gonna 205 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.039 take two free throws you need to take you need to be up there with 206 00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:19.559 like twelve threes. I'm looking at it now. That was something I talked 207 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.960 about coming into the season as well. PG thirteen has to get to eleven 208 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:29.639 plus three pointers per game because he is like a six nine Steph Curry at 209 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:36.440 times. Right, Steph Curry took fourteen three pointers tonight, fourteen just from 210 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:41.200 him alone, and for a team that is desperately starving to take more threes 211 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:45.960 because we're like, once again, we're like sixteen seventeenth in the league and 212 00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:51.639 three point attempts, we are starving to take more threes. Paul George is 213 00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:55.679 the one player on a team to me who has the handle and a size 214 00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:00.440 to get more than seven eight threes up. And he's and if he's going 215 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:04.799 to be this anemic from a free throw at tem perspective, he's got to 216 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:10.200 take more threes. Otherwise, when you get deep in the playoffs, into 217 00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:12.960 the second and third round, it's just a tough diet to live off of, 218 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:18.200 and it just decreases your championship profile in your championship chances. You're listening 219 00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:25.799 to Justin Wilson here on Clippers Talk AKA at Clippers Film on Twitter, Clippers 220 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.240 lose one fifteen to one oh five to the Golden State Warriors after they led 221 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:33.119 by twenty two or three minutes left in the third quarter. Your point is 222 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.839 taken very well about the free throw shooting, especially in a game like tonight 223 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.759 where they only got up thirteen free throws. But what's a little bit perplexing 224 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.240 is the last two seasons they led the league in free throw attempts. But 225 00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:52.039 you mentioned Lou Williams, he Anna Vitzas Zubots have uncharacteristically struggled the last week 226 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:56.839 now and when they're not going and Marcus Morris just came back, but that 227 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:00.000 bench just looks very different. How long do you think it's going to take 228 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.200 for the second unit to come together and start to build some chemistry, because 229 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.359 right now it's been the major reason to me why they've relinquished some of these 230 00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:14.720 leaves. It could it honestly could be a while. You could see Tyron 231 00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:22.119 lu like tinkering with the bench in real time this year. He sometimes staggered 232 00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:29.119 Kauai with the bench. He sometimes staggered Paul George with the bench. You 233 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.440 know, it's gonna take a while. It's gonna take a while. And 234 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:36.640 Mark, this is only Marcus Morris's second game back, and he he he 235 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:40.640 should be a big fixture off the bench as well. It's it's gonna take 236 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:47.200 a while. I am kind of like, I don't I don't want to. 237 00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:49.559 I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater with Lou because 238 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:56.880 it's only been ten games. But I am kind of concerned as far as 239 00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:03.160 how he fits in with that unites. It doesn't appear to be that clean 240 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:08.200 right now. But the best version of Blue still provides something that the Clippers 241 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:14.279 desperately need, which is downhill play, playmaking and things like that, but 242 00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:18.640 yeah, he he and Zoo have been probably the biggest disappointments for the Clippers 243 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.599 to start the year. I mean, I think they were both like a 244 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.359 minus twenty six and a minus twenty five tonight, and like plus minus don't 245 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.640 always tell the story, but it kind of looked that way tonight. And 246 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:37.720 yeah, if they aren't going to be the dynamic second unit guys for us, 247 00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:41.200 it makes things a whole lot tougher, and it makes ty Lou's job 248 00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.279 a whole lot tougher as far as how does he integrate the starters with the 249 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:52.599 second unit. But another great Lucas on Twitter kind of brought up something that 250 00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.920 was very interesting to me, is like the starters have been so great this 251 00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:02.119 year that breaking that up is it's hard. It's hard. It's hard to 252 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:07.440 break that up. And but you may need to for the second unit to 253 00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:12.039 not be a train wreck, because tonight they were an absolute train wreck and 254 00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:17.880 they were a big reason why the avalanche hit for us. But yeah, 255 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:19.359 to answer that question, I don't know, but it's gonna be a while. 256 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:22.599 It's gonna be a while. And this is a process. It's only 257 00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.839 game ten. It's a process. I know. It felt like Game eight 258 00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.519 versus a Denver Nuggets. But like, this is a process. This is 259 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.119 a process, and this is not trust the process with a team tanking for 260 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:37.160 draft picks. We're talking about a TV here trying to build to a level 261 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:41.240 where they win a championship, the first ever in franchise history. Justin Wilson 262 00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:47.599 is my guest here on Clippers Talk. He's at LA Clippers Film on Twitter, 263 00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.240 Justice In or Justin In. Moving to some of the positives here, 264 00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.799 what have you seen on tape so far that it is just vastly different in 265 00:20:56.839 --> 00:21:03.680 the way that toronlu runs his offense. Well, he's giving Paul George a 266 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:08.519 lot more liberty as far as a playmaker. He's giving Kawhi that too, 267 00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:12.960 but much more, much more. He's putting a ball in Paul George's hands 268 00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.359 a lot more. And he's having a trickle down effect with the starters. 269 00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:23.200 He's doing a whole lot of like just elbow action with Paul George, letting 270 00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:29.920 Paul George play pick and roll. He's integrating Nicholas Battoon really well. He's 271 00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:34.279 alligned Nicholas Battoon to initiate some plays. So I think if if nothing else 272 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:41.200 like, he's showing himself to be a lot more flexible offensively than honestly Doc 273 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:47.359 did in years prior, at least from my vantage point, I think a 274 00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:49.640 lot of the principles that they had last year though, are still there. 275 00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:56.279 But I just think the biggest thing that jumps off is how he's using Paul 276 00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:03.599 George and Kawhi Leonard as playmakers. And Doc did that a little last year, 277 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.160 but I think Tyler was leaning almost all the way into point guard Paul 278 00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.839 George, and even though the Clippers are six and four, it's had a 279 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.279 great effect on the team, and it's a big reason why Paul George has 280 00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:18.839 gotten off to the start that he has once again follow him at La Clippers 281 00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:23.039 Film. If you're not already he is. Justin Wilson, Justin, I 282 00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:26.680 did your style. Thanks for letting me take you away from whatever you got 283 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.279 going on on Friday night to come on here on Clipper's Talk. Let's do 284 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.759 it again in the next couple of weeks, My friend. I appreciate it. 285 00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.880 Nah, I appreciate this. This was we were talking. We were 286 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.920 talking beforehand. This This is kind of cathartic in a way. I know. 287 00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:47.759 It feels I know, it feels like it's really bad to like give 288 00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:49.680 up the type of lead that we did and lose in a fashion that we 289 00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:53.000 did. But it really is just game ten and like we got a long 290 00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:56.440 way to go, and you know, you can't beat you can't become the 291 00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:02.200 NBA champions in the first ten games. Keep the faith. We got a 292 00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:04.599 long way to go. This is going to be right. Adversity builds character. 293 00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:08.119 Justin I appreciate it. Man. We'll talk to you soon. Alrighty, 294 00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:11.519 thank you. Coming up next, we'll take a quick break here on 295 00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.720 Clipper Stalk. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone 296 00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:19.079 number. I think Morris just called in. We'll have some more positivity from 297 00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:22.880 him, no doubt, and you'll hear from the head coach toron lou Clippers 298 00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:27.000 lose Game ten of this regular season one fifteen to one oh five two Steph 299 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:32.839 Curry and the Golden State Warriors. More Clipper Stalk, I'm Adam Oslin and 300 00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:41.000 this is a five seventy LA Sports coming on next. After leading by twenty 301 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.599 two with three minutes left in the third quarter, the Clippers would lose by 302 00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:49.000 ten in Game ten of the regular season to Steph Curry and the Golden State 303 00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:53.519 Warriors with the final score of one fifteen to one oh five in favor of 304 00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:59.599 the Dubs. I mentioned Steph Curry there. He had five of his nine 305 00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:03.720 three pointers in the second half, but in that fourth quarter he only had 306 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.640 five points. It was the role players, the ancillary players who got hot 307 00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:12.240 and I think got confidence after Steph Curry got them back into the ball game 308 00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:18.160 with his nineteen point third quarter. You saw Kent Baysmore hit a big three 309 00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:21.640 pointer late in the game, and the Clippers couldn't hold back the flood, 310 00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.279 unlike what happened Wednesday night when they overcame that adversity when they were down six 311 00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:30.799 all of a sudden in the fourth quarter and would hold on to win that 312 00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.839 ball game by seven. The Golden State Warriors put up thirty four points in 313 00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:38.400 the fourth quarter of this one. Let's go to Morris in Long Beach. 314 00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:42.119 Morris, you're on Clippers stock with Adam Moslin. How are you? Oh? 315 00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:45.160 Pretty good, my brother. I'm not worried too much. You know, 316 00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.160 it's tough to beat somebody back to back in the NBA, and you 317 00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:49.279 know the Clippers that built for the playoffs. I'm gonna tell you what I 318 00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:52.119 see is different about this team. The guy at a five. Now they 319 00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.759 can shoot the three, and that's going to become very important. May to 320 00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:59.759 run. And I thought the Clippers did a great job with Curry against Craig 321 00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:04.079 first six quarters. So when he got to that third quarter of this game, 322 00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:07.960 right, you know, you can't keep the great ones down. You 323 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:11.000 know, forever he got off for a minute, he shows you why he's 324 00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:12.359 the best shooter in the game. But I wouldn't fIF too much, but 325 00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:15.440 the stuff to beat these guys back to back in the NBA, and we're 326 00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:18.319 gonna be okay, have a good one, Okay, my friend Morris. 327 00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:22.680 I appreciate the phone call. As always, Steph Curry not just the best 328 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.079 shooter in the game, the best shooter of all time. Off the bounce. 329 00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:32.559 I don't think one of his nine made three pointers was a catch and 330 00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:37.960 shoot shot. They were all created by Steph and some of them were ridiculous. 331 00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:41.680 Plus he had eleven assists in the ball game. At some point you 332 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:45.720 tip your cap. But again, he only had five of his thirty eight 333 00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:49.359 points in the fourth quarter. The Clippers had their opportunities, but they only 334 00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:55.920 put up eighteen points their quarter low happened to come at the worst time. 335 00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.119 Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven 336 00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:06.759 two five seventy. Let's go to Tages. Tages is a thousand elks Tages. 337 00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:11.319 I forget wal Nut, Walnut, my bad Tages. How are you? 338 00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:15.519 I know it's a tough loss, got to do all, you know, 339 00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:21.200 shook up, but you know it's disappointing. But you know, I'm 340 00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:23.799 just reminding myself. It's early on. We got a new coaching staff, 341 00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:29.279 a bunch of players that are playing together for the first time, so it's 342 00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:33.839 gonna be a process. I see one dilemma that Tylou has now because when 343 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:38.200 Marcus Morris comes since he came back, that means one player is going to 344 00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:44.880 lose minutes, and today it seemed like it was Reggie Jackson. So if 345 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:51.119 you don't have Paul George in with the second unit, your playmaker playmakers are 346 00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:56.839 pretty much gonna be Lou Williams and Luke. But if Luke is still a 347 00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:03.400 little tentative and not as a aggressive as he can be so far, it 348 00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:08.559 really puts you know, the second units makes some very stagnants, so I 349 00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:15.720 think coming in they thought Luke would help with that playmaking and and I think 350 00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:21.119 he will pick it up still, but it is a dilemma of where now 351 00:27:21.160 --> 00:27:25.640 who's gonna lose minutes now with Marcus coming on the bench, So I think 352 00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:30.160 that's something that's gonna have to be monitored by lou and and maybe he's gonna 353 00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.160 want Paul George with the second unit. So we'll just have to see. 354 00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:36.599 But I think they'll get it together, and I have a feeling there they're 355 00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:40.759 gonna go on a little five game winning streak here. Now. They got 356 00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:44.519 the Bulls on Sunday and then I don't think they played until Wednesday, so 357 00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:47.359 they'll have some practice time in between, because right now it's been like every 358 00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:52.319 other day, and they'll get some things worked out. Thanks Adam, Thank 359 00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:59.039 you Tay just from Walnut Bulls on Sunday, Pelicans on Wednesday. Those are 360 00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:02.559 the the next two ball games. Overall, I think it's a good problem 361 00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:06.920 to have, but it does put a lot on the head coach to have 362 00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:10.920 to find minutes for everyone and find the right combinations out there on the floor. 363 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:15.799 But ultimately, I think Marcus Morris coming off the bench with a Vita 364 00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:19.279 Zoo bots is going to be a great combination. And Lou Williams, he 365 00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:25.599 can be streaky at times. He struggled the last few games, but overall, 366 00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:29.759 I still think sweet Lou Williams is going to pull through for this team. 367 00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:33.319 He's led them in assist the last couple of seasons, and we've seen 368 00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:37.880 at times Lou Ta Zoo has been a great combination early this season, but 369 00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:41.640 they simply look at a rhythm and their timing looks off, and it looks 370 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.799 like they're trying to figure out how to play with new guys on the court 371 00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:48.759 with them as well, gonna take time. We'll take a quick break here. 372 00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:52.759 Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight 373 00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.640 seven two five seventy will come back. You'll hear from the head coach, 374 00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:02.200 Shron Lou After the Clippers lose one fifteen to one oh five to the Golden 375 00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:07.480 State Warriors. Clippers run it back Sunday at Staples Center against Zach Levine and 376 00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:11.240 the Chicago Bulls. More on that coming up as well. This is Clipper 377 00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:15.359 Stock. I'm at am Moslin and you're listening to a M five seventy l 378 00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:22.839 A Sports. The Clippers had twenty point leads against the Lakers, Denver Nuggets, 379 00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:30.519 Phoenix Suns, and they would hold on. They would withstand the oppositions 380 00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:33.720 run. But that did not happen tonight when they were up by twenty two 381 00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:37.599 or three fifteen left against the Golden State Warriors. In the last fifteen minutes 382 00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.680 of the ball game. Golden State would outscore the Clippers by thirty two and 383 00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:45.559 go on to win one fifteen to one oh five. Welcome back into Clipper 384 00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:49.319 stock. I'm at am Moslin eight six sixty nine eight seven two five seventy 385 00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:52.359 eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy. We'll get back to your 386 00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.599 phone calls. We'll talk about Sunday's game, but first I want to hear 387 00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:59.839 from the head coach to Ron lou after the Clippers fall to six and four 388 00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:04.319 the season. I would say a little bit of both. I would say 389 00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:10.200 just getting the lead and then not continue to play the way we've been playing 390 00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:12.160 to get the league. I think taking care of the basketball was one. 391 00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:17.599 So they had twenty eight points off our nineteen turnovers all we talked about, 392 00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:21.279 but then also just continue to keep playing the same way. Don't get comfortable 393 00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:25.039 and start taking some bad shots, some questionable shots, and then they get 394 00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:27.799 out and transition was able to make some shots as well. You guys, 395 00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:30.799 obviously the first three times it happens, you guys push back this year and 396 00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:33.039 you've kind of you talked about the resolve, how you were happy to see 397 00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:37.400 that. What was I guess what was different tonight beyond just the quick shots. 398 00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:41.119 I gotta watch it. I thought they're switching made a stagnant. I 399 00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:45.839 think by moving Draymond to the five and be able to switch one through five, 400 00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:49.319 I thought it made a stagnant and so we gotta be better with that. 401 00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:53.279 And that's on me. So we will be better with that. But 402 00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:56.759 we get that, continue to just keep running and playing through it again the 403 00:30:56.759 --> 00:31:00.359 way we have been, even if they do switch. So he's got to 404 00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:04.000 get better with that. Thanks. Okay, let's move over to Tom here. 405 00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:10.599 Hey, Tyer, last game, you guys held Step to one of 406 00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:14.480 his worst games of the season, five or seventeen. You talked about what, 407 00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:15.720 you guys, did you know, crowding him, not really giving him 408 00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:18.599 much room. What happened today that he was able to just go off for 409 00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:22.759 thirty eight. I thought we did a good job, you know, on 410 00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:25.279 the first half. I think he had what do he had fourteen the first 411 00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:27.279 half, and then you know, I think the second half he just got 412 00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:30.319 loose, and you know, he made a couple of deep ones. But 413 00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:33.240 I thought he got a lot more free than he did the first game. 414 00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:36.400 And they ran some different stuff as well to put us in some tough positions, 415 00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:40.319 and we knew that would happened. But you know, I thought overall, 416 00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:41.279 to start, you know, we did a good job on him with 417 00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:45.000 just you know, being aware of where he's at. And then I think 418 00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.079 he made two three in that first quarter and kind of got him going a 419 00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:51.279 little bit. I know, last time I asked you about this, the 420 00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:53.279 crunch time offense, you said three and a half quarters of you know, 421 00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:59.200 go to the office and let your stars handle the final half quarter. I 422 00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:01.039 guess, is this something you have to live with when when shots don't go 423 00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:05.000 down, you guys are super stagnant like you did today. No, I 424 00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:07.680 just it's got It's about the shots that we take and that we get. 425 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:09.799 And you know, I thought, against our switching, we could have just 426 00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:15.319 posted Kawa, you know, a lot more so that's on me. But 427 00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:19.759 you know, if you our first game against another day, just our slipouts 428 00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:22.240 are setting up picks with Steph Curry was good and we was able to get 429 00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:24.720 generated points off that. So we just didn't execute the way we did after 430 00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:32.720 the first game. Hey, let's move over to justin'sso, Hey, coach, 431 00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:37.440 good evening. What do you feel got the Warriors back into this game 432 00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:40.279 late in the third when they went on the run. Was it the turnovers, 433 00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:45.359 the stagnation offensively? You're just like a collection of everything above. I 434 00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:49.319 think it was turnover turnovers. I ain't think we got stagnant too much until 435 00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:52.039 the fourth quarter, but they they came in with a lot of energy. 436 00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:55.640 That bench came in with some good energy. Baysmore was terrific for him. 437 00:32:57.039 --> 00:33:00.720 I'm coming off the bench and was able to attack the basket, getting some 438 00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:04.000 deplections, some steals, and he kind of generated the energy. Put those 439 00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:10.799 guys off the bench. Let's move forward to Thomas. Hey, coach, 440 00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:15.920 you guys the bench has been struggling lately, and the bench struggled in this 441 00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:19.640 second half today, I believe scoring just five points. Is there anything that 442 00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:22.680 you can attribute to that or is that just a matter of guys just not 443 00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:27.680 you know, kind of shots tonight. I gotta watch it. I know 444 00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:30.400 we didn't make shots for sure, and then you know Marcus, you know, 445 00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:32.880 still trying to find his rhythm, you know, coming back one for 446 00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:37.359 seven, you know, trying to work him into the rotation. So you 447 00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:38.200 know, I gotta go back and look at it. But I see, 448 00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:43.400 you know, it's a big difference than the plus minus section from their bench 449 00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:45.480 and our bench. So I just gotta I gotta watch it and see what 450 00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:50.599 happened. Okay, we'll have time for a few more. Let's move over 451 00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:54.160 to four by all right, hey, coach, just to you know, 452 00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:58.839 bounce off of that last question. Over the last three games, the bench 453 00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:01.160 has been scored one forty six eighty four. Is it a matter of trying 454 00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:06.640 to figure out the rotations? Staggering? What are you looking at when you're 455 00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:08.199 when you're watching them play in terms of trying to figure out how to fix 456 00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:13.679 that situation. Well, the first half, you know, we just kind 457 00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:15.960 of went with the five guys off the bench, and it was good for 458 00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:17.920 us in that first half, and then the second half we kind of staggered 459 00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:21.679 PG and Kawhi, like we did in the first game. So just trying 460 00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:24.639 to look at just a different combinations and seeing what works and what's better for 461 00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:31.079 us with that second unit. Okay, the last question's gonna come from Miriam 462 00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:36.159 hey time. Despite the loss, Paul had another pre special game. Really 463 00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:39.880 was cooking early. What are you? I mean, where's this confidence at 464 00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:45.079 right now? Almost? Confidence is great. I think we could have did 465 00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:46.280 a better job of trying to get him free and helping him up with some 466 00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:50.000 more shots, but I thought he did did a great job of just making 467 00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:52.480 the right play in the right pass and he is in the great rhylin right 468 00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:58.039 now. So we got to ride this way what we can. Thanks Time 469 00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:05.440 saw that for you. Hashtag MVPG. Paul George has played like an MVP 470 00:35:05.719 --> 00:35:07.760 so far this season. He's right back to where he was two years ago 471 00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:12.199 when he finished third in fact NBA dot Com. I forget who the writer 472 00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:16.719 was, but they have him third right now in the NBA MVP, jockeying 473 00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:22.159 for position even though it's just ten games in. The guy's shooting over fifty 474 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:25.199 percent from three. Started this game off five for five, ended five of 475 00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:30.239 seven, had twenty five points, but just took thirteen shots. But you 476 00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:35.280 heard there head coach Tehron Lou he took a lot of that on him. 477 00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:38.000 He put a lot of what happened in this game on him. But I 478 00:35:38.039 --> 00:35:43.960 don't think there's a better coach than the NBA to work with this much versatility 479 00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:47.639 and to get things clicking again with the second unit. As farbot Ess and 480 00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:52.800 Share said, they've been outscored the last three games one hundred and forty six 481 00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:57.559 to eighty four. That obviously has to change. I think it will, 482 00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:01.440 and it starts maybe on Sunday versus Chicago Bulls. Tip time for that game 483 00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:05.559 is at one pm. Who cares about the NFL, They're not king. 484 00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:10.159 This is Clippers basketball we're talking about here.

By the time the Clippers game is over, Clippers 491 00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:44.719 they'll lose one fifteen to one zero five to the Golden State Warriors. They 492 00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:46.760 dropped to six and four on the season. Before we get out of here, 493 00:36:46.840 --> 00:36:52.039 I do want to thank the Clippers organization, Noah Eagle, Brian Semen, 494 00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:58.760 Ralph Lawler, our guest, Justin Wilson at La Clippers Film and Sam 495 00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:02.639 Zia back year in Burbank running all the music, running all the highlights, 496 00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:08.480 running me because I'm dumb and I can't multitask that well.
