1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,240
Last time that I check check,
it was fine chains on my neck.

2
00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:09,160
It was no smile on my brett. Last time that I check, sent

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:13,359
sent a set in the Senate quarter
male, no sweat. Last time check

4
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:17,440
from the streets, voice out West. Let's deary selt mat progress. Last

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,039
time that I check. J Perkins, where you're at, Bill Simmons,

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:25,239
where you at? Clippers just blew
out the Celtics in Boston, and I'm

7
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:33,359
pulling out receipts. Clippers best team
in the NBA over the last thirty four

8
00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:39,039
games, they are twenty seven and
seven. Welcome back into Clippers talk.

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,640
I'm adam oslind Clippers win by nineteen
in Boston, they led by as many

10
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,479
as thirty six. Final score was
one fifteen to ninety six. And joined

11
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:53,320
the show now his big Chuck Mockler. After a big Clippers victory, he

12
00:00:53,439 --> 00:00:58,399
pushed will Updyke out of the way. But that's okay, that's okay.

13
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,320
The Clippers win like this, a
lot of people are gonna want to get

14
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,599
on eight six six nine, eight
seven two five seventy is the phone number.

15
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,879
But Chuck, what were you most
impressed by by the Clippers in this

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:14,560
one? I think I was other
than the fact that they got in at

17
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,640
two in the morning and were able
to blow out a team that people thought

18
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:21,879
was the best team in the league
travel restrictions wise, I was most impressive

19
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,959
by the group effort on the board
from the Clippers in this game. If

20
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,319
you look at the rebound numbers in
this one, Kawhi Leinern had seven boards,

21
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,799
Mason Plumbly had seven boards, Daniel
Tice had seven boards, Paul George

22
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,319
six, Terrence Man six, Harden
eight. You had a couple of guys

23
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,959
with four, you had a handful
of guys with three. That was an

24
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,719
issue that you know, we were
maybe worried about going into this game.

25
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,120
Granted, and the Celtics were down
their starting center. But the team effort

26
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,760
on the boards was huge. I
think it also helped Tyson pubbly made me

27
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,000
feel little bit better. They had
backup down there, so locking it on

28
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,799
that end and making sure to take
care of business on the glass. I

29
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,359
was really impressed by Hey, it's
not like the Clippers had their starting center

30
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:02,680
either, and another guy like Kirstaff
sporzingis that's top three in rim protection on

31
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:07,879
the season. But it's a fantastic
point that is defense and rebounding. The

32
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,159
old pat Riley rule to winning championships. No rebounds, no rings, no

33
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,479
boards, no rings. The board
man got paid. He did have those

34
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:22,120
seven rebounds, and there was just
I mean, we say it all the

35
00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:25,039
time and he downplays it, but
you know, when it's a big game

36
00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:30,039
like this, Kawhi Leonard is laser
focused. In twelve points in the first

37
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,120
twelve minutes when nobody else was really
scoring, it was him and team Man

38
00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:38,719
early on that I thought played really
well for the Clippers and held it down.

39
00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:42,560
Defensively, Yeah, a lot of
guys were good, but offensively they

40
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,919
needed what Kawhi provided them to start
both halves. Yeah, absolutely. I

41
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,319
mean Jason Tatum came out and had
seven points to open the second half,

42
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:53,240
and the Clippers were able to answer
that, right, Like, that's tough

43
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,879
thing to do in any away environment, let alone the best, I guess,

44
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,439
the hardest away environment playing so far
this year. But like you said,

45
00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:05,680
Kawhi was laser focused. He didn't
have to play too much yesterday,

46
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:08,360
you know, so it was great. And Terrence ma Hand it felt like

47
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,680
almost took a step this game.
I don't know, he was everywhere he

48
00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:15,879
got subbed in for Russ after kind
of a tougher stretch from Russ, but

49
00:03:16,439 --> 00:03:20,599
it was immediately affected with a steal
and then a dunk. But no,

50
00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:23,240
I mean they Terrence is kind of
emerging, is a you know, low

51
00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:27,560
key leader of this team. He's
been on the team a very long time,

52
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,800
especially when you consider kind of a
turnover in this two one three era.

53
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,039
So Terrence, Terrence really showed something
today. It's almost like he earned

54
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,919
that starting spot. It's almost like
he deserves to be a starter. And

55
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:46,680
going back, I want to say
now they're thirty eight and eleven now over

56
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:49,439
that span of time, heading back
to last season when they had that ten

57
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:53,560
to four run with Terrence Man in
the starting lineup right before the All Star

58
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,719
break. All Right, the guy
has been too good and he's too good

59
00:03:55,719 --> 00:04:00,439
of a fit next to now James
Harden and two one three out there.

60
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:08,080
But this team and the defense they
showed on the road in eight blocks,

61
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,800
eight steals. You know we've talked
about has there been slippage on the defensive

62
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:15,000
end? Can they put it together
for four quarters? Well, I wouldn't

63
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,680
say it was four quarters because the
fourth was inconsequential, But when the game

64
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:23,439
was in the balance. They put
it together with their best defensive performance,

65
00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:28,000
right, Chuck, Yeah, absolutely. I mean they talk about you know,

66
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,680
people are gonna say, oh,
the Celtics shot horribly. The Clippers

67
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,360
also shot horribly in this game.
They mean justice in these threes as as

68
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,199
the Celtics did. So No,
the defense, the defense was locked in.

69
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,439
Everyone knew their assignments, there was
the rotation, no one was kind

70
00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:46,120
of lacking on that. There weren't
any weird soft doubles or anything like that.

71
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:49,279
Even when Tatum was starting to get
comfortable, which started a little early.

72
00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:51,759
You know, he started pretty hot, and this one they were never

73
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,519
overwhelmed. They didn't push the pace
or anything like that. So everyone played

74
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,959
within themselves in terms of the game
plan, which I think is a credit

75
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:01,839
to them and a huge credit to
Tyloo give them a turnaround they had for

76
00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:06,600
this. I think another thing that's
developing right now is points in the paint.

77
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:12,240
They've had seventy recently, they've had
sixty four in this one, sixty

78
00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:15,720
eight their last three games. They've
scored two hundred and two points in the

79
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,040
paint. In their last two they
haven't been knocking down three, So they're

80
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:23,920
showing another dimension and a new way
to beat you and dominates you. And

81
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,879
that has been you know, rebounding
is a part of that. But also

82
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,959
how often does this team get to
the basket. Can they get enough easy

83
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,160
buckets? That's always been a question
mark. They're starting to really play better

84
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,879
in that area. Yeah, And
it starts with the pick and roll.

85
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,120
You know, you have James Harden
playing such a great pickle with Zubats and

86
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,920
then Mason Pubby has to come in. James Harden has Mason Publey looking like

87
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,560
he hasn't missed any time, you
know, within this offensive system. And

88
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:54,040
you know there's a reason Publy was
swolling forward a day and a lot of

89
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:57,439
that goes for being put in good
positions by James Harden and things like that.

90
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:03,000
So the ability to get touches in
the pay helps the fantastic lineup of

91
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,720
shooters. They already have two from
the outside. So I don't know things

92
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:11,000
things are going as well as they've
ever got about exactly sure how to handle

93
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,680
it, But I think I'm doing
an okay job and taking it all in

94
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,199
stride right now. Big Chuck Mockler
is joining us from Clips and Dip a

95
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,439
little double dip here on Clippers Talk
post game. After the Clippers led by

96
00:06:23,439 --> 00:06:27,000
as many as thirty six, they
win one, fifteen to ninety six in

97
00:06:27,079 --> 00:06:30,920
Boston over the Celtics. So let's
push it forward a little bit because as

98
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,160
good as they are playing, we
know a win is not going to define

99
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:40,480
their season in Boston. This team
is going to be measured upon how they

100
00:06:40,519 --> 00:06:44,240
do in the playoffs. But the
regular season is very important because you're trying

101
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,160
to move up the standings. We've
talked about it ad nauseum. Only team

102
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,680
in the last fifty years to win
it that wasn't a top three seed the

103
00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:53,959
ninety five Houston Rockets. Clippers currently
in that three spot, and they got

104
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,360
to continue building those championship habits.
And now they're taking on maybe the hottest

105
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,439
team in the East since they just
beat Boston. I guess it's got to

106
00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:03,480
be the Cleveland Cavaliers. They're nine
to one in their last ten. I

107
00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:09,079
want to say they've won something like
fourteen of sixteen or fourteen of seventeen.

108
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,279
What do you need to see from
the Clippers Monday in Cleveland, Charles,

109
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,040
We need to see Paul George look
like he only had to play twenty two

110
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,079
minutes in this game, right,
Like Will and I talked about this week

111
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,639
is a little live over on YouTube, but this it's not like this game

112
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,480
was a hard thought victory they got
right, Like, this was just a

113
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,279
complete blowout. So it's kind of
weird to wrap your head around it because

114
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:34,600
usually you would think something like this, Oh, it was a pretty close

115
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:39,759
game, quick turnaround before playing another
good team. Not it's kind of a

116
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:43,839
slow turnaround all things considered for Paul
George and guys like Mason told me too,

117
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:46,800
right, and the Cavs are a
very big team as well. So

118
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,959
I'm really excited to see how Paul
George looks. He looks great in this

119
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,319
one, you know, Tyler said
apparently, you know, Paul George is

120
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,839
like I insisted that he played.
So I'm excited to see Paul George just

121
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,639
on a little bit more rap.
And I'm excited to see maybe what TYLERU

122
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,759
does in this game. If we
see anything different or weird with the small

123
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:09,480
ball lineup, give them the size
that the Caps can throw at you.

124
00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:11,759
But I hope we see the same
effort on the boards. I hope we

125
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,120
take care of the ball the same
way. But you know, if they

126
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,439
don't make it, they don't play
their best. I think we can all

127
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,720
it'll be okay, given what happened
the last two nights. He is Chuck

128
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,120
Mockler. Hey, is that live
still going? I can jump on in

129
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,680
about a couple of minutes here,
Charles, Can I get in with you

130
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,039
guys? Or is will holding it
down right now? Do you end it?

131
00:08:31,039 --> 00:08:33,320
It is not still going, but
we will be. We'll have the

132
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,559
tripod about going after the football games. There we go. Now that's a

133
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:43,759
promoter right there, only in America. He is Chuck Mockler. Charles,

134
00:08:43,759 --> 00:08:46,360
thanks for doing this and that on
Clipperstock, thanks for having me. Let's

135
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:50,080
go clip before we get out of
here. I gotta get to our guy

136
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:56,639
Jose in Southgate after a victory like
this. I know he's probably a little

137
00:08:56,639 --> 00:09:01,039
bit on tilt on one hundred whatever
you want to say. He's excited.

138
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:11,600
Jose in Southgate. Hey, I'm
gonna keep it going on clips last go

139
00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:18,759
Clippers. I don't know what the
initial song was, but you know,

140
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:22,799
you never know. On Clippers toc
karaoke here a cappella. It's it's a

141
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:31,120
great way through a phone line.
Clippers win all the matters again in Boston

142
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:39,200
one fifteen to ninety six. They
have won sure true for five straight,

143
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,600
twenty seven of their last thirty four, twenty two of their last twenty six,

144
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:52,200
and thirteen of their last fifteen ball
games. They'll be in Cleveland taking

145
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,120
on the Cavaliers on Monday. Tip
time at four pregame at three. Before

146
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,279
we get out of here, I
do want to talk to Katie Newton,

147
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:07,159
our producer extraordinary here in the bank, because there's always time for Katie Newton's

148
00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:11,080
casual NBA corner. Wasn't always a
big fan, but after this season by

149
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,279
the Clippers, you know she might
be a diehard. Well, I did

150
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,200
tell you I like to see Boston
sports teams lose because, let's be real,

151
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,240
the fans, no matter what the
sport, they're the biggest babies they

152
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:26,799
I like them apples, Katie Newton, Boston's neck. I mean, I

153
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,679
went out to Boston. I've got
friends in Boston. It's a great city.

154
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,039
But sports fans are just big babies
when they lose. What because the

155
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,039
Chargers lost the Patriots a few too
many times on the playoffs And you're a

156
00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:39,480
little bit better because when you watch
when you watch fans of any Boston team,

157
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,879
because you know, you're right pretty
good. You know, they're always

158
00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:46,440
like it was easy to root for
the Red Sox when they were down and

159
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,799
out, but since then they've won
like four championships and it's not quite the

160
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:54,720
same. Yeah, they're fans,
unfair, little entitled fault like whatever.

161
00:10:54,879 --> 00:11:00,440
Okay, okay, en dumping on
Boston here. I do like Brandon Boston

162
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,080
my favorite Boston. That's right.
Okay, how about this. I don't

163
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:11,679
know how many NBA games not at
Staples well formerly Staples Nowcrypto dot Com Arena

164
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,799
you've been to. But how many
arenas have you been to? Huh?

165
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,679
Yeah, that's not a bad questioner, think I've only been to like three

166
00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:22,360
or four. I still haven't been
to Golden One Center, even though I'm

167
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:26,000
from Sacramento. Because you know,
a season is happening, Well, the

168
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,799
Clipper season is happening. Uh.
We'll make it for when we get to

169
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,080
the into It Dome next year.
God willing. I want to see the

170
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:39,120
Promised Land. You can do it. You can do it all night.

171
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,639
Look, okay, Clippers win,
It's come on. The reference was right

172
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,799
there for me, water Boy Clippers
win big before we get out of here.

173
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:54,840
I do want to take the Clippers
organization. Ralph Lawler, Brian Seman,

174
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,320

Call, the Callers, the listeners,
