WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:04.559 The game is over, Paul George money in the pain, but the postgame 2 00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:09.119 reaction has just been gone. Kahi Leonard is so smooth in the mid range. 3 00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:13.759 This is Clippers locker Room, a recap of today's game and a look 4 00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:18.600 ahead on your hope for LA Clippers basketball. And now your host, you, 5 00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:24.480 sir, are a bad man, Adam Ousley. Clippers unfortunately make it 6 00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:28.760 six straight losses as they lose here in downtown Los Angeles one twelve to one 7 00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:32.560 O eight to the Atlanta Hawks. Welcome into your postgame show. Coming up, 8 00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:35.159 we'll get to your second half high lights of postgame box scoring. You'll 9 00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.640 hear from the head coach, toron Low and the players. But first we 10 00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:41.079 get back to your voice of the Clippers. Noah Eagle, No, you 11 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:44.560 said a postgame. Those miss threes, those wide open threes, kind of 12 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:48.399 a microcosm of what this game was. The Clippers started off one of ten 13 00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:52.719 from distance, and they missed their last fourth reason this one that were really 14 00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.640 good looks. Yeah, you really can't ask for much more. You know, 15 00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:58.759 they get open looks, you just expect them to go down, and 16 00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:02.079 they just haven't gone down during this sixth game, losing streak for the Clippers, 17 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:07.760 and that's it's obviously tough to have to deal with that, and it's 18 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:11.680 tough from a fan's perspective, from a coach's perspective, from a player's perspective, 19 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.719 because a lot of that just comes down to are you making your shots 20 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.159 that make or mis league mentality? And two years ago the Clippers made just 21 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.599 about everything they looked at and they were very successful. And last year they 22 00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.560 had a decent percentage, they were pretty successful. Well, this year they 23 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:29.359 just haven't had that same touch consistently night in and night out. They've had 24 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.319 shooting explosions. Just tonight wasn't one of them. Ten of thirty from three. 25 00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:34.640 It's just not gonna get it done. And on the season they average 26 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.560 thirty seven percent. So you figure one or two more of those go in, 27 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.040 guess what, you win this game. And that's great, we can 28 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.159 talk about that, and we should talk about that. I totally get it. 29 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.079 But at the same time, Clippers had an eleven point lead in this 30 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.760 game in the fourth quarter. Even with they're not one hundred great percent shooting 31 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.120 defensively, you've got to lock in and we've talked about that time and time 32 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:57.719 again. Defensive mentality. They had it for most of this game. They 33 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.280 only gave up one hundred twelve point to a team that averages one hundred and 34 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.560 fifteen on the season. But what I'm saying is in that fourth quarter, 35 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.799 when you need stops, you've got to find a way to get him, 36 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.319 and they just couldn't do so today. Yeah, and some self inflicted wounds, 37 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.159 two bad possessions, offensively offensive foul by a Vita zubots Milsa's brown misses, 38 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:20.080 both free throws. A lot of things went in Atlanta's favorite late, 39 00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.840 but also Trey Young took over. He had a big three point a counter 40 00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.360 one from Kawhi Leonard, and then down the stretch did most of the damage 41 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.719 for the Atlanta Hawks against the Clippers. Yeah, and that's not anything to 42 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.199 be ashamed of. Trey Young does that to every team in the NBA. 43 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.000 This is a guy who is All NBA last year's averaging twenty seven point four 44 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.800 points per game and ten assists this year. He's a star in the league. 45 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.479 And he might have some turmoil right now with the Atlanta Hawks, but 46 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.280 he's still a star and he loves playing the villain. And you saw him 47 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:51.159 right after basically bowing to the fans here, waiving them goodbye. That's what 48 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.000 he does. He thrives in those environments. So right when he felt they 49 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.199 had a little momentum down the stretch, he's gonna take full advantage of that, 50 00:02:57.240 --> 00:03:00.319 and most certainly did. Look the Clippers the biggest key in all of 51 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:06.280 this again twenty one and twenty one. It's not like this team's ten games 52 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.560 under five hundred. Forty two games into the season, they're five hundred, 53 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:13.400 so it's a fresh start. Now you've got forty games remaining here that you 54 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.840 could do a lot of damage. And forty games obviously, let's say even 55 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.159 if you just in those forty games, let's say they go ten games over 56 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.719 five hundred, and those forty games, that puts them where on the season. 57 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.639 I'm trying to do the math in my head butt with them at forty 58 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:32.000 one. No one, Yes, it's tough, right, I don't know, 59 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:38.120 No, I can't do the math anyway, if they finished ten games 60 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:39.719 over five hundred, I think that would be like forty six and thirty six, 61 00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:44.120 right, yeah, so forty six wins. I know it's not ideal 62 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.560 of what they're looking for, but you're building a little momentum at that point, 63 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.080 and you then look at that final twenty or that final fourt you I 64 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.479 should say, and you're thirty. Nope, you're twenty five and fifteen in 65 00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:53.840 that final forty, or maybe you can go thirty and ten. As we've 66 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:58.240 talked about with those other teams, the reality of the situation is they need 67 00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.159 to learn from their mistakes. The only way they're gonna do that is if 68 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:04.240 they learn from their mistakes. And that's really the troubling part to this point 69 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.000 is that it doesn't feel like they've learned enough from the mistakes this season and 70 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.759 adjusted. I mean, you get a huge game from a Vizza zoobots in 71 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.520 this one, seventeen points, eighteen boards, You get twenty nine out of 72 00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.920 Kawhi letter Terrence Man was outstanding, fourteen eight and four fifteen from Marcus Morris. 73 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.920 I know he didn't shoot at his best and even Powell had fourteen off 74 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:26.360 the bench. Will you believe you should win that game and they just couldn't 75 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.120 figure it out because of your point self inflicted wounds towards the end of the 76 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:32.120 fourth quarter. So you have to learn from your mistakes. We'll see if 77 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.000 the Clippers can do that. They've got a five game homestand one game down 78 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:39.319 now four to go. Goals should be to win all four. Every game 79 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.519 is winnable for this team. We talk about it all the time. They 80 00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.000 can win any game they play. So the next four games, lock in 81 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:46.680 and see if you can get four and one in this five game homestand it 82 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:51.000 starts Tuesday night against the Dallas Mavericks. Tip time right back here in downtown 83 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:56.399 Los Angeles at seven thirty. Well, I have Clippers countdown starting at six 84 00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.360 thirty. No Eagle, great call has always my friend. Oh, I 85 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.360 appreciate you, and you know, I don't know.

Tuesday 88 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.920 night, Clippers fall one twelve to one oh eight to the Atlanta Hawks. 89 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.480 Coming up next, second half highlights right here on the Los Angeles Clippers radio 90 00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.399 network. That's why are you standing on the wall. I mean when you 91 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:28.000 lighting up jobs, it was blocked by George This this LA Clippers basketball. 92 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.120 He is a one man ricket crawl and defensive man on the home of your 93 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:41.000 LA Clippers. Clippers ex standing their longest losing street of the season is that 94 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.920 six. Now after losing one twelve to one oh eight, you're in downtown 95 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.160 Los Angeles to the Atlanta Hawks. Welcome back into your post game show. 96 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.680 I'm Ata Moslin. I'm coming up on a M five seventy LA Sports. 97 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.519 We'll have Clippers talk for you. I'm sure there'll be some phone call tonight 98 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.319 eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety eight seven 99 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.759 two five seventy is the phone number, or get to me at follow Adam 100 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:05.199 a. With the Clippers down by fourteen. After a disastrous end to that 101 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.959 second quarter where they gave up four straight in a hurry at the very end, 102 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.759 which is some sloppy, careless play, they came out in the third 103 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:18.519 and looked focus. They won that quarter thirty five to nineteen. Marcus Morris 104 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:23.879 had eleven points, Kawhi Leonard had eight points. A Visa Zubots had six 105 00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:28.600 points and five boards in the quarter. Terrence Man was everywhere. Nicholas Batoum 106 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.480 had a fine defensive play against Trey Young, who looked to have an open 107 00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:38.319 fast break layup, and they were leading going into the fourth eighty seven to 108 00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:42.959 eighty five. We've seen this before though, with these Clippers comebacks this season, 109 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.079 they come up short, and even with an eleven point lead about midway 110 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.199 through that fourth quarter, they weren't able to hold on. As Trey young 111 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:57.199 erupted. He had thirteen of his thirty in the last seven minutes of the 112 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:01.120 fourth quarter, and the Clippers just didn't have enough and couldn't hit an open 113 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:05.519 three late. They missed their last four threes after starting off this game one 114 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.600 for ten. Apparently that was a sign of things to come, because they 115 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:14.279 went oha four and their last four three pointers and they were wide open good 116 00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.759 looks. Nick Batoum had one, Kawai had one, Norm had one of 117 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:21.160 Marcus Morris had one but couldn't get it to go late that would have gave 118 00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:27.079 them a one point lead. Instead, they lose by four one twelve to 119 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.160 one oh eight to the Atlanta Hawks. Coming up next, looking for postgame 120 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.560 audio from the head coach and the players. Clippers dropped to twenty one and 121 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:38.759 twenty one on the season as they lose the Atlanta Hawks, and you're listening 122 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:51.399 to the Los Angeles Clippers Radio Now Everything.

Was six forty five left in the fourth quarter, just 150 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.919 to lose by four here at home to the Atlanta Hawks. Final score Hawks 151 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:22.360 one twelve, Your Clippers one oh eight and the losing streak is now at 152 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.799 six. For your Los Angeles Clippers who are looking for answers, welcome in 153 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.200 to Clipper Stock. I'm Adam Aslin. Eight six six ninety eight seven two 154 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.360 five seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. 155 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.399 You can also get to me on Twitter at follow Adam A coming up. 156 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.480 We'll have William Updyke from Clips and Dip on. We'll get to your 157 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.519 phone calls. You'll hear from Coach Low, who's at the podium right now. 158 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.919 But this was a game where you know, we go back to Thursday 159 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.559 night and we thought that was rock bottom with the way they performed against the 160 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:56.159 Denver Nuggets, and we thought they had a bounce back opportunity against Minnesota and 161 00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:00.279 certainly back home in their safe haven, we thought they could get off to 162 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:05.000 a good start to this five game homestand and we talked about how important it 163 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.879 would be. But the Clippers, after leading by eight in the first quarter, 164 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:13.600 they kind of took their hands off the wheel a little bit. They 165 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:20.039 were up sixteen to eight, and somehow after one and getting off to a 166 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.679 quick start, they're only leading by one point. Twenty six, twenty five, 167 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:30.399 and they started cold from the outside. They were one of ten from 168 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.639 three. But there was effort, there was hustled, there was defense. 169 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:41.879 Terrence Mann into that starting lineup worked, he had himself a game. I 170 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.519 thought that was a great move from coach Low Noah Eagle n I just heard 171 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:54.799 him off. Mike just put the endorsement on it. It was And he's 172 00:11:54.960 --> 00:12:01.000 out late in the fourth quarter because he played extended minutes all the third quarter, 173 00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.679 I believe, the first half of the fourth. So that's starting lineup 174 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.840 that I think really had some good moments, especially in the third quarter, 175 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.519 where this Clippers team, you can say it started in the first quarter. 176 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.080 You can say they lost the game at the end of the second quarter with 177 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:22.600 just some disastrous place and I said that was a disaster on Twitter. I 178 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.919 had to call it out. What happened at the end of that second quarter 179 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:33.039 was just brutal. I mean, you have a switch where Kawhi Leonard is 180 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:39.440 on Trey Young and instead they get the switch so it's Marcus Morris, but 181 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.840 Kawhi was still shaded over his way to end the second and Trey finds John 182 00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:50.639 Collins for just a wide open alleyup and then there's a bad pass from John 183 00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.840 Wall in the entry pass and it ends up being a big throwdown I believe 184 00:12:54.879 --> 00:13:00.639 by DeAndre Hunter. It goes from a ten point lead to fourteen about three 185 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:05.759 seconds. Just careless plays, sloppy plays, and we've seen it all season 186 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:11.559 long. The turnover number tonight isn't eye popping. It's at eleven. If 187 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:16.919 you average eleven turnovers, you'd lead the league in limiting costly mistakes. But 188 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.600 when they came for the Clippers, they were devastating and that was a moment 189 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:28.759 right there. But they still found a way to rally in that third quarter 190 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:35.399 after losing the second quarter and giving up forty one points where their defense look 191 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.840 lifeless out there once again. And second quarters have been an issue for this 192 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:43.679 team all season long. They get outscored by fifteen in the second, but 193 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:48.080 they come back in that third quarter and win it thirty five to nineteen. 194 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.240 Kawhi was aggressive. He had eight points. Marcus Morris, who started zero 195 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:56.879 four from the outside, knocked down three three pointers. He had eleven in 196 00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.919 the third of Visa Zubots, who had a great game. I thought overall, 197 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.480 my player to watch had seventeen and eighteen. Just in the third he 198 00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.039 had six and five. Nicholas Batoum made an outstanding defensive play when it looked 199 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:13.279 like Trey Young was gonna have a run out for an easy lay up, 200 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:18.600 and he chased him down and redirected the shot, and the Clippers led by 201 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:24.320 two. Heading into the fourth. It was eighty seventy eighty five and looked 202 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.039 to be in control of the ball game. And we're doing so even without 203 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:33.159 Kawhi to start the fourth quarter after he had already played up to thirty one 204 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:39.440 minutes. Norman Powell was in there, John Wall hit a big three pointer, 205 00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:45.679 Terrence Mann took one coast to coast and got the and one. Moses 206 00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.840 Brown had multiple dunks off of great feeds from John Wall, and the Clippers 207 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:56.159 absolutely looked to be in control of the ball game. Kawhi comes back in 208 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:00.279 first thing he does, hits a three, and there are up one two 209 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:05.480 to ninety one, was six forty five left, and then things just absolutely 210 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:09.559 turned back in the favor of the Atlanta Hawks, who closed out the game 211 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.759 on a twenty one to six run, and a lot of those twenty one 212 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:18.679 points were from Trey Young, leave thirteen of them. He countered with a 213 00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.960 three after Kawhi hit that one to put him up by eleven, got to 214 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.559 the free throw line and then just went float goat with it, multiple floaters 215 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.679 down the stretch. After Kawai tied the game back up with forty three seconds 216 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:37.600 left at one oho eight, Trey Young hit another one, and the Clippers 217 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.759 and maybe we should have seen it coming. I'm gonna start to the game 218 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:50.159 from three, but they had multiple good looks from distance Kauai. Then Marcus 219 00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.000 Morris, who lost his man relocated reset, had all data, put up 220 00:15:54.039 --> 00:16:00.279 that three pointer and missed it. After just hitting three and some big momentum 221 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.960 shots in that third quarter, and even before that, I thought there was 222 00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:10.279 good process with the offense, with Kawhi Leonard getting into the paint over and 223 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:14.279 over again. He had a kickout to Nicholas Patoon wide open, couldn't get 224 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:19.639 it to go. Another kickout from Kawai ended up with Norman Powell on the 225 00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.639 far side for a corner of three, wide open, couldn't get it to 226 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.960 go. They missed their last four three pointers. They started the game one 227 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:32.279 for ten. They missed their last four and they were open good looks and 228 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:37.840 the Clippers now lost sixth straight and are searching for answers as his Clipper nation 229 00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:44.120 right now. This is a cheap team with championship aspirations focused on the Larry 230 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:48.440 O. B And I'll give you the standings update. It's not pretty coming 231 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:52.480 up, but losing to a Hawks team that was giving up one hundred and 232 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:57.759 twenty one points at their last eight games were just like the Clippers. They 233 00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:02.679 had lost six of eight. Something had to give in this one. Both 234 00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:07.359 teams looked desperate for a victory, but Atlanta was just the better team late 235 00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.920 and they got Clippers got out executed, and Strey Young turned it on. 236 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.079 Not only were they given up one hundred and twenty one points per game, 237 00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:19.880 well round up and go once twenty two teams were shooting forty nine percent against 238 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:25.759 them, the Clippers under forty percent at thirty nine percent, and that ten 239 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:30.000 to thirty number from the outside and those threes that were miss late just killed 240 00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:34.799 him backbreaking missus that they had to have where they could have had a little 241 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:38.759 more cushion before getting to a point where all of a sudden it was a 242 00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:44.640 tie game once again after being up eleven. There were a couple other offensive 243 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:48.359 possessions there. Kawhi Leonard took a tough jumper, but it's Kawai tough to 244 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.480 fault that. Norm had a shot blocked of Itza Zoobas had an offensive foul. 245 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:59.319 Really one of the few plays that he didn't make after having a really 246 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:03.839 good bounce back performance after not looking like himself recently. Those seventeen and eighteen 247 00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.640 boards seventeen points eighteen boards for boards for Big Zoo, But Clippers Good couldn't 248 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:12.079 get the stops when they needed to late Atlanta outscores them twenty seven O twenty 249 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:17.079 one. Couldn't make the shots, couldn't get the stops. Formula for disaster, 250 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:21.400 and that's what leads to them losing. They're sixth straight by four points. 251 00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.640 When they led by eleven, was six forty five left in the fourth 252 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:27.920 quarter. Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety 253 00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:32.519 seven two five seventy is the phone number, Lenny in Inglewood. We couldn't 254 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:36.240 get to you on Friday. Lenny, You're on Clippers stop without amasson. 255 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.799 Hey, what's up at him? Bill Man? At this point they need 256 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:48.319 to seriously think about maybe just scrapping what they got well pulling the major trade. 257 00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.519 Because if you think there's no team in history, man that's lost six 258 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.880 games and gone on to winning, saying, you can't point to a team 259 00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:02.079 that's ever done that. Once again, I'm not saying that it's impossible, 260 00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:06.880 but man, this this, this is this is a joke. This is 261 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:11.200 a joke. Grown. I mean, you know, these Cats are just 262 00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:15.160 aren't playing. When I said at the beginning of the year something was missing, 263 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.279 everybody's saying it's too early, it's too early. You know some of 264 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:22.519 the mysteries. Cats band were old but won the third oldest team in the 265 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:25.480 league. And usually the first thing to go with the old team is their 266 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:29.079 defense because they don't feel like Jason young dudes around. They'll sit, they'll 267 00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:30.920 sit in the corner and knock down knocked down the threes. And I like 268 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:36.599 Morris, but man, we don't have we don't have fast feat forwards, 269 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:41.839 man. And it's a problem. And like I said, if the Balmber 270 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.039 doesn't address it, it's gonna be embarrassing when he opens up at that new 271 00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.519 stadium because I don't I don't see how he's gonna be able to sell half 272 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:51.599 defeats. This This is this is supposed to be our year, bro, 273 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:55.000 It is supposed to be our year. The Lakers won five in a row 274 00:19:55.319 --> 00:20:00.559 without Aunt, without Anthony Davis, and we're going they just eat this Hawks 275 00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:03.559 team by twenty If you if you want to compare right now and when it 276 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.880 reigns, it wars. If you're a Clippers fan, you don't like seeing 277 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:11.160 the Lakers on a winning streak while you're on a losing streak like this, 278 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:17.240 even though the Clippers have dominated them for Yeah, I understand the frustration. 279 00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:21.720 I think you echo the sentiments of much of Clipper Nation right now, Lenny. 280 00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:26.440 It's hard to push back against a lot of that talk. I appreciate 281 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:29.599 the phone call. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six 282 00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:34.000 six nine eight seven two five seventy is the full number, the best I 283 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.880 can give you right now. Boston Celtics were in the same spot last season 284 00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.880 at twenty one and twenty one, and they were the best team the second 285 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.720 half of the season, and they turn things around. Doesn't guarantee anything for 286 00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:51.839 the Clippers, just tells you it can be done. Teams like the Pelicans 287 00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:55.119 got off to really slow starts and then they were one of the better teams 288 00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:57.079 in the second half last year. Same with the Dallas Mavericks, who the 289 00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:06.200 Clippers will see on Tuesday Night. But the expectations for this team obviously as 290 00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:08.319 one of the favorites coming into this season, if not the favorite, and 291 00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:12.920 it's insult to injury, and it just stings even more because you see the 292 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:18.960 Western Conference, you see how wide open it is, and the Clippers could 293 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.400 be the cream of the crop, but they haven't been able to take advantage 294 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.680 of the West being down, or being each other up, or there's been 295 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.480 a lot of injuries throughout the Western Conference. It's not just the Clippers. 296 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:36.160 Look at Devin Booker being out for Phoenix. Look at Steph Curry being out 297 00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:40.519 for the Golden State Warriors, and that team has kind of rallied around it. 298 00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:44.079 No Paul George tonight, Yes, no Luke Canard. That's huge. 299 00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:51.240 But Atlanta was reeling. This team looked like it was teetering on the verge 300 00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:57.480 of a huge blow up, and I think there was a chance to break 301 00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:03.279 their spirit early on. Clippers didn't seize that opportunity. They're up sixteen to 302 00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:08.680 eight, and they just weren't able to put together enough good possessions on either 303 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:12.200 end, and that has been the story. Even defensively. Now they're not 304 00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:18.079 the same team that they were throughout most of this season. One twelve isn't 305 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:23.359 an awful number, but the Hawks shot fifty percent, and as good as 306 00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:27.839 the Clippers were in the third quarter, they couldn't get stops the last six 307 00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:36.319 minutes when they had to. They fall by four at one twelve to one 308 00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.319 oh eight. Before we take a break, let's pause ten seconds for station 309 00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:44.160 identification. Here on the M five seventy l A Sports, this is LA 310 00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:51.200 Clippers Basketball A five seventy KLAC Los Angeles eight seven KYSR HD two Los Angeles 311 00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:55.559 and iHeart Radio station coming up next, more of your phone calls eight six 312 00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:59.440 six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five 313 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:03.799 seventy You hope this is the low point of the season. I thought it 314 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:07.200 was Thursday night. We thought it was Friday night. The hits keep on 315 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:11.960 coming, right now, When are the Clippers going to hit back? Is 316 00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:17.720 it going to start Tuesday night against Dallas? Certainly a team they know very 317 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:21.599 well. We'll update you on the status of Luca Donchers. By the way, 318 00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.960 for that game. But right now, Clippers trying to find themselves. 319 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:30.759 That's our identity this season. Not sure they produced one at this point. 320 00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:34.799 Thought it was a great defensive team. Well they've slipped greatly on that end 321 00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:40.559 now, so a lot of holes. It's whacker ball. You fix one 322 00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:45.400 thing, something else arises. Looked like they were playing better offensively during that 323 00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:49.039 stretch on the road, but defensively they gave. They were giving up points 324 00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:53.000 left and right. More clipperstock.

I'll do 337 00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:02.039 it all right, gonna do a live show here from downtown Los Angeles. 338 00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:06.680 I can't complain too much. I'm at a point and I can tell you 339 00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:10.960 I've been a the first fan since the nineteen nineties. The first game I 340 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:15.079 ever went to Doctor Reverse with the backup point guard to Gary Grant, who 341 00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:21.240 was that ninety two, Yeah, ninety two, the Danny Manning Ron Harper 342 00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:23.960 Arrow. But I'm at a point where now I just want us to have, 343 00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:27.559 you know, I, in an ideal world, we get the number 344 00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:30.000 two pick, and okay, you would get the number one pick, so 345 00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:34.960 they don't, you know, pig slop, and that may wind up being 346 00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:41.240 the best outcome from this season because this is just depressing. Well, that 347 00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:45.599 idea is certainly depressing. I'm with you on that. For things to fall 348 00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:52.000 apart that much, Michael. As I mentioned before, teams have pulled out 349 00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.039 of tailspins like this and have gone on to winning streaks, and it's more 350 00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:03.000 than possible because the talent is there. We know this. Whether or not 351 00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.400 they're going to play the right way, or play consistently enough and really apply 352 00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:10.920 the principles that coach lew was looking for, I'm not sure because we haven't 353 00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:15.640 seen any consistency. They have been consistently inconsistent. It's an annoying a little 354 00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:19.440 saying, but it's the truth. With this Clippers team, some of it 355 00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:25.119 is understandable due to continuity. But they're now eleven and seven with Kauai and 356 00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:27.640 I believe he's played I want to say fifteen to the last nineteen games or 357 00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:33.119 fifteen to the last eighteen games. You know, they've been closer to hole 358 00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:37.039 and I appreciate the phone call, Michael than they were earlier in the year 359 00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:41.720 when they were playing better defense, and I know some of that defensive rating. 360 00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:45.279 We expected a little bit of slippage because strength of schedule. They had 361 00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:49.000 one of the easiest schedules, now one of the hardest schedules. The Atlanta 362 00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:53.519 Hawks were not a part of those elite teams that they have coming up, 363 00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:59.960 and they're gonna face we weren't counting on that loss. Weren't counting on Atlanta 364 00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:02.720 playing better and out at executing. The Clippers stay on the stretch of a 365 00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:06.920 game where Trey Young as fourteen of his thirty in the fourth, and he 366 00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:10.240 can do that, but when you're up eleven with under seven minutes left, 367 00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:15.480 you gotta close that game out. Kawhi was on the floor Foard. He 368 00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:19.480 tied the game at one oh eight, but Trey Young answered and the Clippers 369 00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:23.440 went for a three pointer. And I don't mind the plays are going for 370 00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:29.720 a three down two because they got good looks. They have to hit those 371 00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:37.160 shots. That's part of their offensive identity that we know, drive kicks, 372 00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:41.119 swing and if you generate an open look and Marcus Morris has that shot coming 373 00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:45.359 off the third quarter he had, you think it would go down. Kawhi 374 00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:51.400 Leonard had a good look at the three two. So the shots were there, 375 00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:56.759 But should shouldn't have come down to that is the question when you're up 376 00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:02.079 eleven, and they had some really bad possessions midway through the fourth that I 377 00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:06.400 already discussed in the first segment. I don't want to relive them. Let's 378 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:10.519 go out to let's see Eddie in Whittier, Eddie, what's up here? 379 00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:14.000 On Clippers? Stop with at him Austin, Hey, what's up Adam? 380 00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:18.480 Quick question? Number one six game losing streak? Is this the longest in 381 00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:21.000 the two one three era? You know, the Kawai Paul Georgi era. 382 00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:25.519 And then my second piece is, you know we have the talent, but 383 00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:27.240 do we just not have the right conductor, you know, meaning the coach. 384 00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:30.240 I know you've seen him do well before, but is it just burnout 385 00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.880 of coaching? You know, we see that sometimes with with players and coaches. 386 00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:36.359 It's just you know, I mean, you see here three. I 387 00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:41.079 would hope it's not burnout. And I have faith in his philosophies and his 388 00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:45.000 strategies and the way he can push the right buttons. We saw it in 389 00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.519 Cleveland, We saw it with the Clippers in the playoffs two years ago. 390 00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:52.599 Right now on the regular season, obviously things aren't jail and things aren't working. 391 00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:57.480 I think there's just a lot of moving parts right now that has led 392 00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:04.759 to the Clippers not develop any any sense of consistency whatsoever, a semblance of 393 00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:12.720 consistency. It's been a brutal stretch and I think I'm guessing this would be 394 00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:15.480 the longest losing street with the two on three connection. I'll have to look 395 00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:19.200 that up. I'm not positive on it. Obviously. Last year Kawhi Leonard 396 00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:23.160 was out all season, and they've had some other periods certainly where Kawhi and 397 00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:26.839 Paul Georgeman out for long stretches. So I'll try to find that out. 398 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.920 But either way, it's it feels, I'm sure for Clipper Nation right now. 399 00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:37.400 Unacceptable for a team with championship goals. Let's go to and I appreciate 400 00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:42.599 the phone call Eddie Todd in Englewood. Todd, you're on Clippers stop without 401 00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:48.799 them all. Hey, Adam, I just have one question. I kind 402 00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:53.440 of want to know if you think that Marcus Morris Hello, went a little 403 00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:59.319 closer on that last shot to spend it over time. I appreciate the phone 404 00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:03.880 call, Todd young Man, good question it is, but I would lean 405 00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:07.720 towards the side that I was just talking about. If you haven't open three 406 00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:11.680 like that wide open, and that means a guy that's not even within six 407 00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:18.960 feet of him because he lost his defender relocated. Reset had old day to 408 00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:23.279 think about it, and sometimes you know players, players may overthink it in 409 00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:27.440 situations like that. But we've seen Marcus come through and clutch spots for this 410 00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:32.039 Clippers team. The seven three pointers he had in Game seven against Dallas a 411 00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:37.559 couple of years ago come to mind. He wants those shots and I'm sure 412 00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:40.920 he wants that one back. And I don't know if you can ask for 413 00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:44.799 a much better look than that. You drive towards the basket. Well, 414 00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:48.720 they had more guys in the paint waiting for him than we're out there on 415 00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.039 the perimeter where he has been able to do damage and just lit them up 416 00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:57.160 in that third quarter with eleven points, Clippers fall one twelve to one ZHO 417 00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:02.359 eight. Still looking for coach slew postgame audio, I believe, but we 418 00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:07.920 can go to Damien in La here, Damien, what's up? Hey, 419 00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:11.559 triple A oh Man, tough loss, bro tough law. Thanks for having 420 00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:18.440 me. Though, I guess the biggest thing and we just talked about it. 421 00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:22.400 I was really, really, really and I'm gonna use a big word 422 00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:27.240 here, I would be fuddled, okay, by we had six minutes left 423 00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:33.640 in the quarter. In the fourth quarter, we're in the penalty and you 424 00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:37.960 know, we're still looking for perimeter buckets that kind of rubbed me the wrong 425 00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:41.839 way a little bit, you know, and then the other thing was on 426 00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:48.240 a positive note. I really felt like Parent's Man had a positive game starting, 427 00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:53.559 and so piggyback off of a prior conversation that we had. I would 428 00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:59.200 really love to see if parents Man could have spinned into a more of a 429 00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:02.559 leadership role like we talked about with the tomb. I would like to see 430 00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:07.160 Batum, you know, hand that torchhop to him and have a young guy 431 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:09.839 be the spirit of this team. What do you think? No, I 432 00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:16.160 think Terrence Man. You know, he is twenty six years of age and 433 00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:22.880 I think has one of the higher basketball iqes in the league. Smart player. 434 00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:28.200 That's why they let him guard multiple positions, learn multiple positions at times. 435 00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:31.359 I think it led to him not playing as well out there because he 436 00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:36.240 couldn't focus in on one thing early this season, early last season, when 437 00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:38.559 he's just being instinctual and he knows his role a little bit more, it's 438 00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:43.440 a little more defined. That's better for him. But I think guys follow 439 00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:46.720 what Terrence Man says. I just at this point in his career, like 440 00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:53.119 you have Kawai Paul George Nicholas Batoum. You have veterans there and Marcus Morris 441 00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:58.599 who are leaders. I think Terrence and his time will come, but I 442 00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:02.079 certainly don't think you know, guys would scoff at anything he said. They'd 443 00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:06.960 taken a heart because Terrence has come up big for this team over the years, 444 00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:10.519 the Game six performance against the Utah Jazz. He's played big in big 445 00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:14.799 moments, and I loved how he looked out there today in the starting lineup. 446 00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:17.799 You know, remember who his guy is, you know who his guy 447 00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:22.920 growing up was. We had a Cardo, all of those Rondo right, 448 00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:29.039 Hey, Rondo was a puppy, you know when they won the championship, 449 00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:35.559 but they allowed him to mature into that role of being a leader on the 450 00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:38.599 floor. And I see a lot of that in, you know, in 451 00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:43.039 our guy man. You know, I see that he's taken a lot of 452 00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:46.319 the notes from guys like Patrick Beverley, from guys like Rondo, and you're 453 00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:52.000 seeing him, you know, put this into something that is completely different and 454 00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:57.400 maybe completely better. The other thing that I want to say is about John 455 00:33:57.480 --> 00:34:01.720 wall thought he had a better game today. I would love to see him 456 00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:06.720 more in the fashion of, you know, kind of taking the breaks off 457 00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:09.679 of him a little bit more. Sometimes I feel like we just really need 458 00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:15.400 to let him eat and letting him get on his you know, lou Will 459 00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:19.199 Jamal Crawford and just do what he does out there. Yeah, but you 460 00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:23.119 know what, this isn't a team that necessarily needs a guy that is a 461 00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:28.599 streaky score like that. They have great shooters. They have a lot of 462 00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:35.559 consistent, efficient guys. John Wall at his best is getting downhill, finding 463 00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:37.960 Moses Brown like he did in this game and has at times this season, 464 00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:44.800 and making plays for others and then picking his spots carefully. I think he 465 00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:46.320 did a very good job of that. I feel like over the last week 466 00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:50.599 and a half or so he's been much better in those areas. And I 467 00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:55.679 thought he had a pretty solid game after a really solid first half Friday night 468 00:34:55.679 --> 00:35:00.639 in Minnesota. So I just don't know if you need that from him to 469 00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:05.239 him to put up twelve shots or fifteen shots, or give him a green 470 00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:08.599 light or anything like that. Sometimes I just want him to feel comfortable, 471 00:35:08.679 --> 00:35:14.920 and sometimes I wonder about his comfort level offensively out there. I see him 472 00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:17.000 giving a lot of efforts, you know, on the defensive kind, and 473 00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:22.280 I applaud that because you know, the question mark for a lot of people 474 00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:25.119 for John walk coming over. But you know, I just want him to 475 00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:28.920 see what we can do to try to make him feel a little bit comfortable, 476 00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:30.679 and I wonder if he's feeling hamfort It's just, you know, I 477 00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:35.760 don't really worry about the guys too much. I just want everybody to settle 478 00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:39.360 into their roles and really, you know, kind of put that championship hat 479 00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:44.039 on, and I feel like we've been underdogged so long. You know, 480 00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:47.000 it's time to step up the level of intensity and really know that there's nobody 481 00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:50.719 that can hold it. We play with people, and we don't need to 482 00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:52.599 let seems like Atlanta play with us. You know, thanks for the call 483 00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:54.760 I had him. I've great to see you to night. Man, have 484 00:35:54.840 --> 00:35:58.559 a great night. Good to see you too. Appreciate the phone call, 485 00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:00.840 Damian. We'll take a quick time out here on Clippers talk and to his 486 00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:06.239 point about Clippers not getting into the line late. You know, Norman Powell 487 00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:09.159 had a tough game. He was three of thirteen for his fourteen points and 488 00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:15.559 had a shot blocked late in the fourth quarter on big possession and not having 489 00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:20.159 Terren's man out there because he had played heavy minutes. I think he played 490 00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:24.039 the entire third quarter and then the first five or six minutes of the fourth 491 00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:29.639 quarter. They could have used him, but they need him in the third 492 00:36:29.679 --> 00:36:34.079 to get back into the ball game. So not easy decisions to make, 493 00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:37.039 but I really think coach Lew may have found something here with him in the 494 00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:40.599 starting lineup, because if you want drive, kick swing, that is a 495 00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:46.159 guy who gets into the paint and can create havoc a little bit and puts 496 00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:52.920 pressure on the rim and also has turned into a pretty darn good passer that 497 00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:57.480 can find the open man when the defense converges on him. Clippers lose though, 498 00:36:57.519 --> 00:36:59.880 one twelve to one, O eight to the Atlanta Hawks. They're six 499 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.320 straight loss. More coming up and we'll talk with William Updyke from Clips and 500 00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:07.519 Dip next. You're on a five seventy only sports. Give me my mind 501 00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:10.840 back, Yeah, give me my mind back, the one that told me 502 00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:15.679 I was worth something when I fall flat? Yeah, fall flat? Oh. 503 00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:21.960 Paul George La Clippers Basketball continue as in his pains as he carries the 504 00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:29.159 three on the home of your LA Clippers. Last time that I check its 505 00:37:29.199 --> 00:37:31.840 five chains on my neck. It was no smut on my bread last time 506 00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:37.559 that I Clippers lose their sixth straight game. This time Cleo Atlanta Hawks. 507 00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:40.039 What's fourteen? Excuse me? One twelve, one oh eight. You're in 508 00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:45.920 downtown Los Angeles. They lose by four after leading by eleven under seven minutes 509 00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:50.119 left. Welcome back into Clippers stock. I'm in. I'm oslin eight six 510 00:37:50.199 --> 00:37:52.679 six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five 511 00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:57.880 seventy is the phone number. We'll get back to your phone calls in just 512 00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:01.599 a moment. But first, William up from Clips and Dip is joining us, 513 00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:07.079 does the podcast with myself and Charles Mackler. Will Obviously you can say, 514 00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:10.400 well, given up an eleven point lead is where the game was lost. 515 00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:14.480 But obviously the Clippers were also down by fourteen and a half. They 516 00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:17.920 weren't playing good basketball, and they haven't been consistent all season long, and 517 00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:22.800 it's getting harder and harder to pinpoint the reason for some of these losses and 518 00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:27.480 why they can't put it together quarter to quarter. How do you see it? 519 00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:31.599 I mean, I just feel like we're still falling in some of the 520 00:38:31.639 --> 00:38:36.719 same mistakes. We still saw three gods line up in this game, although 521 00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:40.440 we did move away from it, like I did like the adjustment at the 522 00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:45.000 third quarter and in the second half. But I just don't know what to 523 00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:49.719 say. I mean, the offense is still stagnant. It's still bad. 524 00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:54.800 And the thing that that's really frustrating is when the offense isn't working, it 525 00:38:54.840 --> 00:39:00.000 seems like the defense takes a break and the offense it isn't working a lot. 526 00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:02.639 So I just don't look, I don't know what to do with this. 527 00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:07.559 I feel like I've been pretty upbeat through even the last few losses. 528 00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:12.599 But what's the statistic. No team has ever won, No team that's gone 529 00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:15.159 on a seven game or more losing street has ever won an NBA championship. 530 00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:21.760 That's a tough one. Well, they're at six right now. I like 531 00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:27.760 your point though, regarding you know, letting them their maker misses affect their 532 00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:30.679 defense. That didn't happen as much early in the season when they seem to 533 00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:35.679 be much more locked in and energized on the defensive end. And I think 534 00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:40.039 there is something too that what just can't happen at the midway point of the 535 00:39:40.039 --> 00:39:45.559 season anymore, Like these are mistakes that should have been cleaned up the good 536 00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:49.599 process or the steps you have to take to becoming a champion. You would 537 00:39:49.639 --> 00:39:52.079 think some of that stuff, you know, we wouldn't be seeing this late 538 00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:58.599 into the season anymore. But I also like the move of Terrence Man into 539 00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:00.679 the starting lineup. You brought up three guard lineups, and Reggie Jackson doesn't 540 00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:04.719 end up getting back into the game in the second half, and I know 541 00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:07.000 that's tough for him. Obviously, he was a guy who when he was 542 00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:13.360 available, started the last one hundred and thirty games with the Clippers. But 543 00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:16.639 he's a team player. I'm not concerned about that. But I think this 544 00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:21.159 could be something moving forward with Terrence Man because it just makes sense to have 545 00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:24.599 somebody in the game early on that can get to the rim, that can 546 00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:30.920 get into the teeth of the defense, and that's really how their attack starts. 547 00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:34.960 Yeah. No, I like the adjustment and then Karen's you know, 548 00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:37.400 he brings the energy on both ends of the floor, which is great to 549 00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:43.920 see. Yeah, it's just it's just hard to watch these games slip away 550 00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:50.639 and just continue to watch this offense like really stagnate. I just don't know, 551 00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:52.800 I just don't know. Now, I mean, I think coming into 552 00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:57.719 this season. On the podcast, Clipps and Dip all three of us were 553 00:40:57.719 --> 00:41:00.079 like, there's no roster move that need to be made, and now I 554 00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:02.760 feel like maybe the Clippers need to get in the bow Yon sweet Steaks. 555 00:41:02.760 --> 00:41:07.880 I don't know, something needs to happen, and I feel like, you 556 00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:14.039 know, if the in game play adjustments haven't haven't happened thus far. I 557 00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:16.559 mean, I know the sample size is still small with Kwai and Paul George, 558 00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:21.920 but man, I think that if you're in the front office or the 559 00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:24.320 coaching staff, like you gotta be scratching your head at this point and saying, 560 00:41:24.599 --> 00:41:28.280 man, when are we going to turn a corner? Because you know, 561 00:41:28.360 --> 00:41:30.719 you and I have talked about the Boston Celtics and how they started last 562 00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:37.159 season where they ended up, but pre All Star Break, when that ended, 563 00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:42.119 they were still eighteenth in offense and second in defense. Clippers have slipped 564 00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:45.639 out of the top five defensively and they are still a bottom three team offensively. 565 00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:50.960 And man, from what I saw tonight, what was the There's a 566 00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:54.000 five minute stretch where they got outscored seventeen to four, Like it is looking 567 00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:58.920 a little bleak to me right now. Yeah, And I do like the 568 00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:00.800 comparison, but I stand when people pushed back and say, well, well, 569 00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:05.519 Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum. You know those guys are playing back to 570 00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:07.760 backs and right now Kawhi Leonard his right knee, he's not in a position 571 00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:13.800 to do that. But this team does still have so much talent. Would 572 00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:16.400 I be shocked if they made a move, if they consolidated some of the 573 00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:21.280 talent. Now, we talked about that a little bit before the season started. 574 00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:22.679 People were wondering, how are you gonna get minutes for everyone? And 575 00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:28.719 we know with this front office they make big, bold moves, so you 576 00:42:28.719 --> 00:42:32.039 know what's on the table with this group. But and just speaking to the 577 00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:36.920 guys who are here right now, you know, I'm looking for positives tonight. 578 00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:38.760 Maybe it's just because he was my player to watch, but I thought 579 00:42:38.760 --> 00:42:44.880 of Visa Zubots was awesome. Outside that offensive foul, he was pretty close 580 00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:47.719 to a flawless ball game. He had seventeen and eighteen and was once again 581 00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:52.639 making a smaller team page just like he did in Toronto. Well in an 582 00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:57.079 incredible bounce back game. Right, Like you know we've talked about, he 583 00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:00.679 hasn't quite looked right on the floor for for stretches of time. But a 584 00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:06.000 seventeen and eighteen performance, that's a great time. That's a great takeaway. 585 00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:09.599 I still don't know about Moses Brown getting more minutes than Robert Covington, who's 586 00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:15.199 got a D and P again, But Zoo definitely trending back upwards, you 587 00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:20.000 know. But too, I thought overall was solid. The shooting just wasn't 588 00:43:20.039 --> 00:43:22.760 there. But those are shots that he normally makes. Those were a lot 589 00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:24.880 of great books. Him going one for five, you know, it definitely 590 00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:29.559 hurt us, but that's not you know, that's not a constant. That's 591 00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:31.920 not something that you can count on. I mean him and Morris from three 592 00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:36.960 combined to shoot like twenty five percent, and that's you know, like that's 593 00:43:36.960 --> 00:43:39.719 one of those things that those were good looks. That was some good process 594 00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:43.559 there, that was moving the ball around. That was something I could see 595 00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:49.039 improving things. It's just, you know, unfortunately they weren't rewarded for those 596 00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:52.519 efforts. Tonight, Clippers lose one twelve to one oho eight at home to 597 00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:58.400 the Atlanta Hawks. So we've talked about rock bottom going back to Thursday night 598 00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:00.639 when they were down by forty three to the Denver Nuggets. Now, the 599 00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:04.199 good news is you can say at least they are at home. They're not 600 00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:07.800 traveling, They're not being in eight different cities and eight different days or whatever 601 00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:12.519 it was in fifteen days, and that wear and tear is not going to 602 00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:15.880 be there. But how much do you put into this game now, Tuesday 603 00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:20.039 night against the Dallas Mavericks. How do you view this because obviously it's not 604 00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:24.360 technically at must win contest, but it's about as important as a game gets 605 00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:30.400 midway through the season. I mean, no regular season game, I guess 606 00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:34.280 is a must win game. But yeah, you're right, this is about 607 00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:37.320 as close as it gets. I mean, five game homestand you've already dropped 608 00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:43.079 one. I mean you gotta come out at the very worst three and two 609 00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:45.239 of this, right, like you know, if you're hoping to get your 610 00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:50.280 season back on track. They're now they're now playing five hundred ball essentially. 611 00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:54.719 Like I mean, no regular season game can be a must win, but 612 00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:59.639 this is as darn close as it could possibly get for the Clippers. He 613 00:44:59.800 --> 00:45:04.000 is William Updyke from Clips and Dip does it with Charles Mockler and myself. 614 00:45:04.039 --> 00:45:07.760 I'm assuming we'll have a tripod coming up tomorrow night. Will thanks for doing 615 00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:10.440 this a little clips and double dip tonight here on Clippers Talk. My friend 616 00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:15.679 absolutely starting to be a little rainy it. Things will trend up though, 617 00:45:16.519 --> 00:45:21.400 no doubt. And they have an opportunity here on this homestand look, they 618 00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:24.079 take out Dallas Tuesday night, you get two days off to prepare for the 619 00:45:24.119 --> 00:45:29.159 Denver Nuggets, who you know they'll be out for revenge against and they want 620 00:45:29.199 --> 00:45:32.239 to make a statement last Thursday night. They'll have a chance to redeem themselves 621 00:45:32.920 --> 00:45:37.559 on Friday. But first things first, they take on the Dallas Mavericks coming 622 00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:40.519 up next. We will have postgame audio from coach Lou Will close things out 623 00:45:40.519 --> 00:45:45.719 with that here on Clippers Stock on AM five seventy Sports, being clicking with 624 00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:52.400 Chef Curry with the pot, but it was blocked by George This La Clippers 625 00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:55.480 basketball. He is a one man record crawl and defensive man. On the 626 00:45:55.519 --> 00:46:07.440 home of your LA Clippers, the black Man not to put her Downtown, 627 00:46:07.639 --> 00:46:12.119 LA to the Atlanta Hawk's. Welcome back into your postgame show. This is 628 00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:15.079 Clippers Talk. I'm out of Boslin. Clipper's next contest coming up Tuesday night 629 00:46:15.119 --> 00:46:19.480 tip time is that seven thirty Clippers countdown your pregame show at six thirty. 630 00:46:19.599 --> 00:46:22.239 Let's hear though from the head coach to Ron Loeu after this one it's in 631 00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:27.360 the final six or so? What happened that he kind of got loose on 632 00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:30.320 you guys? I thought he got downhill. We picked him up trying to 633 00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:34.119 pick him up the worrying down but picked him up a little too high and 634 00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:36.519 he was able to get down hill and get into the paint and kind of 635 00:46:36.559 --> 00:46:38.239 call some havoc. But I mean, you know, he's a great player, 636 00:46:38.280 --> 00:46:42.639 so you know he's gonna make some plays, and you know that's what 637 00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:45.719 he did down the stretch. You guys try a new starting lineup today? 638 00:46:46.440 --> 00:46:49.159 What did you like what you saw to that? And is that something you 639 00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:51.480 can see for the first evil future until you get Yeah, I liked it, 640 00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:53.159 you know, I thought, you know, just defensively, I think 641 00:46:53.199 --> 00:46:58.239 defensively were really good. Just still you know, learn how to play with 642 00:46:58.280 --> 00:47:01.199 teammate at the point guard position. But you know, PG gets back you 643 00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:04.920 can help with that as well, you know, But I thought overall it 644 00:47:04.960 --> 00:47:07.719 was pretty good. You know, just if you're going to close games like 645 00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:10.599 that, just getting better with just trying to close games and making sure we 646 00:47:10.639 --> 00:47:15.039 get quit of ball in spots. But overall defensively with that union, I 647 00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:16.320 thought it was really good and some things we just gotta keep working on. 648 00:47:19.280 --> 00:47:22.559 When it came to closing the game, like second half of that fourth quarter, 649 00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:25.519 after having a living point lead, do you feel like the offense really 650 00:47:25.519 --> 00:47:30.599 need to do better in order to maintain that lead. I thought we got 651 00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:32.360 some decent shots, but then we had some turnovers too. We have some 652 00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:36.320 turnovers that led the easy baskets for those guys, and then we had a 653 00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:38.840 couple of them block at the riom that led to you know, it's basically 654 00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:42.599 like a turnover, and they got out in transition got some easy baskets. 655 00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:45.719 Like I said, we we we scrapped, we competed, We had opportunities, 656 00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:49.360 you know, I think up nine, had you know, missed three 657 00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:52.119 free throws in a row, we had a chance to you know, go 658 00:47:52.239 --> 00:47:54.599 up seven or whatever. We had turned the ball over. So we did 659 00:47:54.639 --> 00:47:58.360 some good things to get back in the game after being down. And I 660 00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:00.159 liked our fight tonight. You know, I thought we did play hard, 661 00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:04.119 you know, for the for the whole forty eight manus defensively, you know, 662 00:48:04.199 --> 00:48:07.000 they they got some good players over there, but some things you got 663 00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:08.000 to keep working on. But I did like what I see to what I 664 00:48:08.039 --> 00:48:15.960 saw tonight, tie after and not like this losing the league like you guys 665 00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:20.719 did. What's what's the mood in the locker room right now? I don't 666 00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:23.639 know yet. Is there I guess, for lack of better phrase, is 667 00:48:23.679 --> 00:48:28.119 there is there a somewhat of a worry in a six game loser trick that 668 00:48:28.119 --> 00:48:30.519 you can lose some guys in the locker room trying to figure things out and 669 00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:32.639 stuff like that. No, I don't think so. I mean, we 670 00:48:32.679 --> 00:48:36.719 had professionals over in the locker room and you know, just test your character 671 00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:38.079 and test who you are, you know, as as a person and as 672 00:48:38.079 --> 00:48:42.679 a basketball player. And so I'm pretty sure everyone at locker would been through 673 00:48:42.679 --> 00:48:45.880 some worse things in this, you know, And so tonight was encouraging for 674 00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:47.760 me. You know, I know Atland has been struggling, but they asked 675 00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:51.559 some you know, some really good players over there, and but seeing what 676 00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:54.599 we did tonight, you know, I was encouraged. The second half. 677 00:48:54.679 --> 00:48:58.079 You know, you went away with that from that three guard lineup that you 678 00:48:58.079 --> 00:49:01.039 had in the first half. Is that playing those three guards together, that's 679 00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:04.239 something you feel like it's it's kind of over at this point. It's a 680 00:49:04.480 --> 00:49:07.159 large Yeah, we're just gonna you know, experiment with different guys. But 681 00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:08.639 I think the three guard rotation, you know, not their fault, but 682 00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:13.360 it's just it's tough for us defensively to get stops, you know, you 683 00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:15.920 know, every night, and so you know, we just just gonna see 684 00:49:15.920 --> 00:49:19.039 it, just continue to keep playing with it and just kind of go from 685 00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:22.840 there. Obviously it's a night when and Luke isn't available because of injury. 686 00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:24.719 When he comes back, you know, you have a log jam, a 687 00:49:25.039 --> 00:49:28.840 guard. What do you see that shake up, that lineup, that rotation 688 00:49:28.920 --> 00:49:31.519 is shaking out. Yeah, we have a plan in place, but until 689 00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:37.719 Luke gets healthy, we won't see it yet. Brought up a couple of 690 00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:42.880 the turnovers late. Nicholas Batoum was looking for Kauai, threw it into the 691 00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:45.559 back court. Jandre Hunter gets the easy two points. Marcus Morris had one 692 00:49:45.639 --> 00:49:51.960 late as well. So things we've seen this season coming back to haunt the 693 00:49:51.960 --> 00:49:54.199 Clippers. Late in the ball game. They go ice cold from three, 694 00:49:54.360 --> 00:49:58.719 They have some bad turnovers, they lose by four, what's end? What's 695 00:49:58.719 --> 00:50:00.960 the positivity? Though? It' to night Morrison, long beach, Morris here 696 00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:05.360 on Clipper stock with that, I'm awful, you know, Adam, I'm 697 00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:08.280 a tough loss. They they're all tough losses. But I'm gonna tell you 698 00:50:08.320 --> 00:50:14.400 something. The playoffs have already started for us. The playoffs have already started 699 00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:16.679 for us. I'm gonna tell you something. The team needs a shock, 700 00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:21.679 some kind of shock, and you know, we try to keep it property 701 00:50:21.719 --> 00:50:22.400 of Adam. I'm gonna tell you, but you know what, I think 702 00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:25.760 the coach should go before the players will because on paper, these guys should 703 00:50:25.760 --> 00:50:29.360 be doing better. And I love my boys. I love my boys. 704 00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:31.800 I don't care what's going on, but the fact of the matter is on 705 00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:36.159 paper they should be doing a lot better. And if we're gonna hold somebody 706 00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:38.320 responsible, you know, you always talk with the CEO, and I mister 707 00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:43.000 Bamber with the coach. So to see what's happening with Dallas in the on 708 00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:45.440 Tuesday. But don't be shocked, man. If the trip Clippers and the 709 00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:50.239 ownership do something to shock this team, because seventh place in the West, 710 00:50:50.559 --> 00:50:53.239 it's not what they was talking about doing. This year, Adam, so 711 00:50:53.400 --> 00:50:58.039 I love you, Adam one on Tuesday, thanks for the phone call. 712 00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:02.119 Well, I have the utmost faith and coach Lou big picture long term with 713 00:51:02.159 --> 00:51:06.719 this team. I think he's the right guy. Appreciate the phone called up. 714 00:51:06.800 --> 00:51:08.719 Morris. All right, Jose and Southgate, you will close things out 715 00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:14.360 with positivity, yes, Adam, you know, like Morris said, those 716 00:51:14.360 --> 00:51:16.119 are the boys and I even though we're on a six game Lucy Street, 717 00:51:16.320 --> 00:51:20.119 I remember how nice we were looking when you know, when we were winning, 718 00:51:20.519 --> 00:51:22.719 So I'm not concerned too much. You know, these next two games 719 00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:27.519 he could be good wins. I'll forget about these these last YIX glosses. 720 00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:30.440 Adam. It was good at seeing you today and Noah, that gave me 721 00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:34.519 my something to talk about because you know the game. But besides that, 722 00:51:34.639 --> 00:51:38.599 Adam, let's go Clippers. Jose, thank you for the phone call. 723 00:51:38.679 --> 00:51:43.440 A good way to close things out tonight here on Clippers Stock.
