Karns Man's chore once again. He's Clippers Talk. I got calls on Clippers
Talk, immediate reaction and analysis to today's game. That's what he's capable of.
Hosted by your pre and post game boys of the LA Clippers, Adam
Osler. After scoring just twenty eight points in the first half, Clippers struck
gold against the Denver Nuggets. In the second half, they come back down
twenty five to win eighty seven to eighty five. Here in downtown Los Angeles,
I'm Adam Oslin, and you're listening to Clippers Talk live after their biggest
comeback in the regular season since twenty nineteen. Welcome in eight six six ninety
eight seven two five seventy. Eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy
is the phone number if you'd like to get on. Coming up, you're
gonna hear from Reggie Action Jackson post game, we'll get to your phone calls
and the head coach in Sron Lou taking you till the top of the hour.
What an unbelievable come back. I know we've said that a lot the
last few years. I say regular season comeback since twenty nineteen for a reason,
obviously Clippers. No bo knows Clippers no about twenty five point comebacks last
year right here in this very same building. In Game six against the Utah
Jazz, they were down twenty five to start the second half. And who
fueled that but Terrence Man, who had thirty nine points, his career high,
his playoff high, and in this one, down twenty five, was
seven minutes left in the third quarter. Well, Terrence Man provided the energy.
Clippers locked in defensively, and after scoring just twenty eight points on the
first half, they had a twenty seven point third quarter. Terrence Man had
nine of those twenty seven points. But even though Eric Bltze only had four
of his fifteen points or fourteen points in the ball game, let me get
this accurately here for you, eleven points in the ball game in that third
quarter. I thought he controlled the pace. I thought he was so good
at just being a court general out there and taking care of the basketball,
something the Denver Nuggets did not do in this game, which helped the Clippers
get back into it. They had twenty turnovers, leading to twenty two points
for the Clippers. That's a very good number. Clippers were better overall in
transition, but offensively, Eric Bledsoe was running the show in that third quarter.
Terrence Man was getting the job done. Brandon Boston had a big throw
down, but they were still down eleven points. Entering the fourth. They
had it to within seven. Denver got some good looks the end of the
third quarter. I think it was Aaron Gordon, who had a very nice
game with thirty points and Nicola Yokits whenever he got double team he seemed to
find Aaron Gordon, who in the fourth quarter alone had thirteen. But there
was a guy for the Clippers who's known for big moments and when the team
needed him most. After shooting thirty percent from the field in his last four
games, after going one of nine in the first three quarters, tonight,
Reggie Jackson just found his swaggers the kids say, his confidence, his belief
in knowing that it was his time to take over, and went head to
head with the MVP in Nikolo And by head, I mean he threw it
down on the Dome of Yokich in the fourth quarter. Reggie Jackson, after
starting one of nine, started four of four in the fourth with one of
the best dunks of the year on the MVP in Nikolioki. I said it
earlier post game. You may not think of him as an elite defender,
but he has been that so far this season. He's been even better than
he was last year overall with the numbers, with all the guys they have
out, he's had a top ten defensive rating throughout most of this season.
And Reggie Jackson just absolutely exploded to the basket out of a time out and
threw it down on him. And I've only been to a few games so
far this year here in downtown Los Angeles, but I haven't heard it this
loud since the twenty five point come back in Game six against the Utah Jazz
in unbelievable clutch performance by Reggie Jackson, who had eleven of his thirteen points
in the fourth quarter after starting one for nine. But some guys, and
we used to say this about Austin Rivers who we saw on this one,
got into it a little bit with Marcus Morris, some bad blood maybe Mark
Kieth Morris and Nicolokitch and that whole fiasco with what happened with Miami. You
thought something may pop off and almost did flagrant one to Mark Morris. But
we used to say this about Austin Rivers. He almost had an irrational confidence
about him with the shots he would take and make often, and he's turned
into a very solid role player in the league. He's been very good for
Denver. But Reggie Jackson same thing. To be one of nine and just
shake it off and know it's your time to take over. Without Paul George,
without Kawhi Leonard, without Luke Kenard, without Hartenstein, it was Reggie.
He's hit game winners for this team. But considering the funk he was
in, this was as good of a performance as we have seen from him
in a Clippers uniform. And we'll see now if he can get things going,
because remember early on this season he was struggling offensively. Hit the big
shot against Okac, had the hug at center court with Paul George, and
then the Clippers went on a nice run, and so did Reggie Jackson with
his efficiency, and he was taking tough shots. Floaters hit a three pointer,
a mere Coffee hit a big three, then Nicholas Batoum hit a big
three in the fourth quarter. This place was going bananas. I joked with
Noah Eagle, maybe we're getting a preview of what the wall of sound is
going to be like at the end of a dome in twenty twenty four,
because it was loud here in downtown Los Angeles appropriately, so a twenty five
point comeback, we'll do that. Clippers went from down twenty five was seven
minutes left in the third quarter to halving the lead eleven minutes and thirty seconds
of game action later. Unbelievable, fast and furious light comeback by the Clippers
against a playoff team, the team with the reigning MVP, and he might
go back to back with how good he's been so far this season, Nikola
Yokitch, and he still had a shot a three pointer. I believe it
was Reggie Jackson with a hand in his face at the end. Aaron Gordon
almost had a twenty one tippet like putback jumper, but it would roll off.
And that Clippers defense that we've talked about all season long, that they've
relied on whether or not their offense was available in that particular night, and
it wasn't in the first app scoring just twenty eight points. Well, the
defense kept a minute denver with twenty turnovers, and the Clippers would turn around
from being down twenty five to win second game in a row, those Atlanta
Hawks games. Just like last year, this could be the start of something.
They won by thirteen. On Sunday, we'll see if the Clippers can
keep it rolling in New Orleans against a team that has been a thorn in
their side, that has been a problem for years, no matter their record,
just throw the records out. I'm not saying it's a major rivalry,
but for whatever reason, the Clippers have had issues with the Pelicans, especially
in New Orleans. All right, well, take a quick quick break,
Katie Newton, could hear it in my voice. We'll get to your phone
calls next eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety
eight seven two five seventy Hoavier, Nick, DAGs, Lenny, We're getting
to all of you. Plus you're gonna hear from Reggie Jackson postgame. Clippers
come back in dramatic dash and southside to come back. Clips are bad.
Get Poulter guys too, They're back. It's all about the Clippers now,
baby more Clippers dock. Next, you're on a five seventy all a sports
the head call that a little red the big upg the bring the ball,
bust your head in a Monk's minute. Spread of that a blood bloods up
not want la Clippers basketball continue safe time shot down the stretch. This is
the official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. The body starting to drop hit
not a want to normal society to stop play. This will really not a
stop. Why don't know? As the Clippers up after being down by twenty
five, Clippers don't quit. They do it again. There are three teams
and a million games that have happened so far in the regular season. As
this was the opening of the second half of the season. There are three
teams who have come back down twenty five so far this season. The Clippers
are now one of them. They win eighty seven to eighty five over the
Denver Nuggets. Biggest comeback since February ninth of twenty nineteen in the regular season
for the Clippers, when they were down twenty eight in Boston. They won
that game one twenty three to one twelve. That was starting something. They
got rolling. Then they got into the playoffs with a team that just traded
to buyas harrass Landry Shammon Say Gilbs Alexander. That group Montrez, Harold pat
Bev Lou Williams took the Warriors to six games in the first half at the
first round with Van Ran. That same week, they came back down twenty
five against Detroit. They also came back down twenty against Charlotte. It was
an unbelievable time to buyas Hairs would hit. The game winner against Charlotte is
traded that night. But my point is sometimes a win isn't just a win.
These things can bleed into the next game, good or bad. We're
hoping is good now because the Clippers have to have as much confidence as you
can. The vibes in the locker room have to be great after you come
back in the fashion that they did and really giving Clipper Nation something to cheer
for when they've been up and down a lot this season. But I haven't
heard Downtown Los Angeles like this all season long. As the Clippers hold on
thanks to Nicholas Batoum and Reggie Jackson making big players in the fourth quarter,
a mere coffee who I think maybe it's an insult now to just say he's
one of the top four hundred and fifty players in the world, because he's
better than a two league player, and I don't know where i'd put him,
but with the way he plays, and then that Nicholas Batoum's style where
he's just a fishing out there, doesn't make mistakes and goes for his career
high of seven assists in this one with eighteen points after tying his career high
with twenty one points on Sunday. I don't know what we're looking at here
with a mere coffee who led them in minutes with forty three, but I
like it if he can keep this going to any degree, if he can
continue to play like this, it's like another offseason pick up. Not that
he hasn't had moments in the past, but it's all coming together for him
when they need it, when they still are without Let's see three starters Clippers
doing this right now when they had just lost three in a row and four
of five, and they're in the teeth of their schedule where they play twenty
five percent of their games in just the month of January, and they have
I think fourteen games on the road in January, more road games coming up
in New Orleans on Thursday. Calibernation acting like beat New Orleans, so I
know it's real because New Orleans has always been a problem for this team for
whatever reason. All Right, I got a problem if I don't go to
another call here, Tom Huntington Beach first call tonight, Tom, start things
off here on Clippers Talk after they come back down twenty five. How's it
going, Noah, it's good to talk to you again. It's it's Adam,
but I'll take it. That's a compliment. I mean, I hope
Noah didn't hear that, but yeah, no, I'm my bad. That
is completely stupid. Anyways. Yeah, no, it's just good to be
back in downtown La. We uh, you know, sitting there to the
third quarter, you know, we saw some scores where it could have been
like the end of the first quarter, and you know, we just we
ended up chipping back. We just kept going and going and going. It
was turnover after turnover three for three, and it was team basketball and Terrence
kept making good things going on out there, and you know by the fourth
by the time the fourth quarter comes, we see some Reggie Jackson action out
there, saw that dunk on Yokich. We just kept doing team basketball out
there, which was which was you know, it's just you know, same
with the Utaw comeback. You know, that's the type of basketball that we
need to play. That's the winning basketball that we had. And I was
a bit confused why we went small out there towards the end, but it
ended up working out well, especially when Niko is the five. I think
that's when our small ball works best. And we hit our threes at the
end, and we just came out with the nice team win. Tom,
thank you for the phone call. Nicolas batoum at the five. And now
someone like a mere Coffee who's also so versatile on that end is gonna be
a problem for the rest of the league. Some of the time, Coffee
was mashed up against Nikola Yokich, who was still brilliant. Don't get me
wrong. Most of the time. When the Clippers through the double team at
him, blitzed him, tried to trap him, he found the open man
immediately. It was usually Aaron Gordon for an easy two handed throw down.
But late in the ball game the Clippers must have thrown a quadruple team at
him at the end of the shot clock, and he missed a little bit
long, a little bit strong off the top of the glass, and Nicholas
Batum with about fifty seconds left, was able to create that jump ball as
he was on the floor for a loose ball after there were multiple deflections and
I thought they had the time out. Initially they didn't give it to him,
but he won the jump ball against Nikoliokich. That was one of the
under the radar, great place in this one effort type of plays. But
I'll say something else. Denver had ten turnovers in the first half, but
the Clippers only turned that into six points. Denver had ten turnovers in the
second half. The Clippers turned it into sixteen points. So they're trends Zsian
offense. They're fast break offense. They finally got it unglued a little bit.
They were playing together. As Tom said, great team basketball. Let's
go to Nick and Arcadia, Nick R. Clipper stock with Noah, Oh
sorry, Adam Austin, Adam Osland. Oh, the resilient Clippers getting a
victory tonight. You know, hey, listen, it's a team victory.
I'm very proud Nick McComb, what a valuable player to have on the roster.
Listen, your favorite New York Mets Twitter fan is telling you that the
Clippers are using this tonight as a springboard. We are not a five hundred
basketball team. On Adam, we are way better than that. We're gonna
get up there next to Phoenix and next the Golden State that maybe a four
or five seed, and we're down. You know. Shout out to Moco
Mondo coming from the game tonight, Adam, you're the man. I love
you all right, Nick, Clipper nation loves you too. I do as
well. I won't just push it onto them. It's all love. After
the Clippers come back, they out twenty five, they have a chance to
use this as a springboard, something that propels them forward. But they got
to keep it rolling. Remember this is a team that won seventh straight.
At one point earlier this season, they've just been so up and down.
They're back to five hundred now. This was game forty two of the regular
season. This was the start of the second half. Got to be starting
something. This is a big deal, I do think, and I set
it after the Atlanta game. We'll have to see how they come out against
the Denver Nuggets. They scored twenty eight points in the first half. You
think, Okay, all that good will they built up, it's going to
waste now. But now to win in this style, in this way,
this has to be something a lesson that the Clippers, you know, a
level of confidence they can have to draw upon, a reservoir confidence they can
draw upon whenever they're down the rest of the season. Now, they were
down twenty in Minnesota and came back to win by twenty, so it's not
foreign to them. But we have seen more often this season the Clippers come
back just to come up short when they're down big. Not tonight, they
closed. Roggie Jackson was a huge part of that. We'll get to him
next. We'll get back to your phone calls eight six six nine eight seven
two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy Javier Tagus Lenny
will get to you. Clippers come back down twenty five, they win eighty
seven to eighty five over the Denver Nuggets. Their next game is in New
Orleans from the Smoothie King Center, where nothing has gone smooth for the Clippers.
I don't know why that could change as well. Clippers show that grit,
show that toughness, show that fight, and it was almost a playoff
like atmosphere tonight here in downtown La Mark hipper stock next five seventy Las books,
So that dear, I'm there now white both take some pat turning out
LA Clippers basketball continue safe time shot down the stretch. This is the official
home of the Los Angeles Clippers. Feel well, you find out how blue
still feel from the putting all the holes and just what's up? The money
gets up, the Clippers leave with the loose what is the colorful swat forms
of nuggets? That's not fools goal. They win here in downtown Los Angeles
eighty seven to eighty five. They come back down twenty five. Welcome back
into Clippers talk. I'm out of Moslin. Eight six six ninety eight seven
two five seventy is the phone number in a game where the Clippers were outrebounded
fifty six to thirty one. Now a lot of those came because and he
shoot as poorly as the Clippers did in the first half. And I can't
even believe that this is true. They went twelve of forty four in the
first half. They scored just twenty eight points. It was not a season
low for a half twenty six in New Orleans against the Pelicans back in November,
in the second half where they gave up a twenty point lead would be
the lowest, but they were already outrebounded thirty five to eighteen in the first
half, because when you missed that many shots, there's a lot of rebounds
to be had. But in the fourth quarter, Clippers were a little bit
better, a little bit scrappier, and Reggie Jackson was unreal, as was
Eric Bledsoe, who had seven points in the fourth. And the Clippers they
just do what they do. It feels like, and we've seen this before.
Teams know about the reputation of coming back. We've seen teams leave starters
out there. James Harden in that game when Brooklyn came in here and won
was playing and they were up twenty with three minutes left, and he was
still out there on the court, the guy who was coming back from a
hamstring injury and all these things, and he was still out there COVID nineteen
because teams know this is what the Clippers do. Lenny in Inglewood, you
are a Clippers stuck with Adam Boslin. Adam Tom respect Man, but it's
Adam Austin Man. Don't get a confused baby. Game recognizes his game.
Adam again with the biggie. You're just killing him with the biggie Man.
They don't even understand bruh, what the soundtrack is. We're not the north
We're the hardest, okay, Man. I was in a bar at g
z If singing. The other biggie artists called Tom a summer ring baby,
won't you be in my won't you be my summer rain? And the man
we were down by They scored thirty points in the beginning of the third quarter.
I look on my business products said, Man, I'm my staying from
the two quis. It is two quarters, it is, I said,
I'm out. We left and I was one of the man the vibe was
on and I left, and I regret it because I got to go home
and look at it on Google. That was an amazing win, Man,
that was an amazing win. Well, it's got you singing, so that
says something right there at Lenny, won't you be my summer rain? In
the beadle clippers come back down twenty five Lenny, I'd say that's like their
death, wouldn't you. Man? I just you know, once again,
I tiloo said something, man, because I think you said it too.
You said clippers front office takes care of their people, and I think you
saw that tonight because when you take care of your people, and this this
is an example. I think that's happening in America right now because you have
a situation where people who know to take care of their people ain't having problems
like other businesses are. And they're giving him a good situation, a good
they respect to people. And that's what's happening in the Post Sports because we
took care of Reggie Jackson when he needs to be taken care of. And
so when you got people back, he dug down deep, man, and
he did what he was supposed to do. Okay, that's a professional.
Okay, they need me. They had my back phone. I needed a
contract and they got me. So I'm gonna dig down deep and get them.
So I know that Amira Kasi is gonna get taken care of. And
they are building something in this at this organization. Man. That believe me,
other players are taking a look at because when you got a guy like
Coffee comes out to d League and they stayed with him, they stayed with
him, and they see things in that initially we didn't even see. You
know, he was questioned at first, But right now, Coffie, what's
your boy? What's your boy? Brian Seman says soldiers. Soldier, Man,
it's looking good, and you know, let's just hop King Kauai can
can get this thing together. We get to spend it going off. All
right, Letty thank you for the phone call doubting Thomas to a full believer
here after the Clippers were down twenty five. Javier and Lahabra hides. You're
on Clipper stop without Himston, Javier, what's up? What's up at him?
Man? What's going on? Adam? You know you didn't put me
first this time. It's all good. I'm just going man. I just
uh. I was in a lord of the game. You know, I'm
a season ticket holder, but I was funny. Well so now now I
gave my tickets away, so I should have went to the game. What
a game? I wasn't to ask you. One thing was Mark Bledsol Was
he up plus twenty eight? Is that a type? He was a plus
twenty eight, which will tell you he was on the floor the entire time
during that comeback. Wow, I thought it was a typewugle name was a
plus eight, But then I checked with triple check. I'm like, no,
he was a plus twenty eight. Nobody else was better than a plus
nine on the court, and Eric Bledsoe was a plus twenty eight Clippers.
But the plus plus and he said, hides the thing is a plus nine.
But nothing I was gonna bring up is a mirror coffee. Yeah.
He he does everything. I mean he when he enters the game, I
mean, he doesn't turn the ball over, He rebounds, he steals,
he plays defense. I mean, honestly, the way he's playing when all
the guys come back to why and Paul George and the whole, the whole,
the whole team. I don't know, but I think she should be
a six man or I don't know, maybe stardom. I don't know.
But he brings energy and he doesn't hurt you like I think you said or
no, I said it. He doesn't hurt you, and it don't seem
to be consistent is the three point shot. If he could be consistent with
the three point then then there's a I mean, I would I mean,
I don't know. Maybe I'm overborn, but I'm thinking he should start.
I mean, what do you think about that? I appreciate the phone call.
It was walked about pregame, I believe by coach Lou and we'll take
a quick time out here. We'll get back to your phone calls. We'll
blow out the rest of the calls before the night is over here before eleven
o'clock. But it was talked about that guys like he and Batoum, they're
gonna have those opportunities to start no matter who is available, because they don't
hurt you. It's all bonus whether or not they're scoring, they're making the
right plays. They're getting seven assists like a mere coffee. Did I mean
this part of his game, this element, this aspect to his game,
we didn't really know about until recently. All of a sudden, he's become
this great passer and getting guys open and into their right spots at the right
time. It's amazing to see the development of a mere coffee. All right,
quick break here eight six sixty nine, eight seven two five seventy eight
six sixty nine, eight seven two five seventy Chad Jose Tagius, we'll get
to your next Clippers come back down twenty five. They went eighty seven to
eighty five over the Denver Nuggets. More Clipper stock. Rapid fire phone calls.
Next, if you dude in't how would you explain? I'm ten years
most than the pipers in my vein. I've got a hustle. The spirit
LA Clippers basketball continued, safe time shot down the stretch. This is the
official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. Clippers come back down twenty five,
seven is left in the third quarter. They win eighty seven to eighty five
over Nicola. Jokish hand the Denver Nuggets. Clippers. I'll score Denver fifty
three to twenty six. That's a finish off with the victory. Welcome back
in the Clippers stock. I'm in a moslin. Let's get right to it
quickly. Thirty seconds chat in Koreatown. You're on clipperstock. Hey Adam,
thanks for taking my call. First call this season, but always doing great
work. How without the game tonight, I thought half season to get package
this year, and I've been enjoying it. Obviously. The games have been
up and down out, you know, and the whole league is going through
it. Of course. What I wanted to say just to kind of give
people, I think cliber Nation a little bit of you know, a positive
spin on everything is that. I think it's a really good transitional year,
kind of similar to what we saw with the Warriors last year, as they
hate seeds, and I think a lot of these young guys, just like
Jordan Poole, just like Damin Lee and guys like that have stepped up for
the Warriors and shine and they're a title contender. I think if we don't
look like a title contender this year, it's getting these guys ready to provide
that for us in the future. I think tonight was a really good example
of that. So keep it going, keep it powering these dung guys.
I appreciate the phone call. We'll see if it's a bridge year. We'll
also see if Kawhi Leonard is able to come back this season. We'll see
what happens with Paul George. This Clippers team wants to win now. We'll
just see if guys have able bodies to get to come back. And I
do think some of it's going to matter in the standings. With the Western
Conference outside the top four, and I include the Memphis Grizzlies now who have
been on quite the run, there's a lot of move for maneuvering. Let's
go to whose walnut tagus thirty seconds, Hey, Adam, trying to make
a quick game six Utah and this game a lot of similarities. Third quarter,
terrence start quarterman started to spark the comeback fourth quarter, the way that
a Batun played defense on Gobert did the same thing to Yokis, creating havoc,
creating turnovers late clutched three pointers in the Utah game by Beverly Batum and
Reggie Jackson. The same thing here, except replace Beverly with your coffee.
And Reggie took over lad in that Utah game with the driving, the mid
range and the three. He did the same thing, and both games ended
with their dramatic dunk late in the fourth team Man over Gobert and Reggie Jackson
over Yokish. Thanks Adam, all had good phone call there. Kept it
quick. It's accinct and to the point. And yes, there are many
parallels between this and the game against Utah last year in the playoffs, Clippers
down twenty five, Just like that, they come back to finish things off,
though, like the Clippers did Jose and south Gate. You're on Clippers
stock thirty seconds, Adam. I was working late to night, so I
had to rely on no Eagle if he's not Lyne. We scored how many
points of the second quarter and we were out render it fifty one to twenty
one? Hey, but he was online either team. Man, Mama,
there goes that, Mari, and then Reggie Jackson. Now only did you
score the points? So you meete that assist too, but too? And
then you meete that assist too? Was it Morris? I believe it was
more. No, it's a coffee, you mate, assist a coffee.
I don't want to chuck you know, no, no coffee right now,
so I'm gonna keep it shut at him. There's go Clippers. Clippers win
eighty seven to eighty five. They come back down twenty five. Their next
game is coming up on Thursday in New Orleans. Thank you for the phone
call, Jose and south Gate There. Tip time is at i pm.
