00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:10.000
Road, brought to you by Cedars

4
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:19.600
Breaking down today's action with the pre
and post game voice. If you're LA

5
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:26.160
Clippers, they're locking in every game, every night. Adam Osland, the

6
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:33.280
Clippers give Victor Wemanyama his Welcome to
the NBA moment as they win one twenty

7
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:38.960
three to eighty three over the San
Antonio Spurs. Welcome into your postgame show.

8
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:41.759
I'm at a Oslin coming up.
We'll get the second half highlights,

9
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:45.320
your post game box score. We'll
also have Clippers Talk tonight on AM five

10
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.640
to seventy LA Sports eight six six
nine eight seven two five seventy if you'd

11
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.479
like to get on early. But
first and foremost, back to your radio

12
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:56.799
boys. Up the Clippers, Carlo
Jimenez. Carlo. It was a game

13
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:02.520
where Paul George really himself well in
that first quarter. Five steals, a

14
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.200
career high in a quarter for him, and it just looked like everybody kind

15
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.560
of rallied around that. It was
infectious. The way he was playing early

16
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:11.799
on. Yeah, he set the
tone when they were in Salt Lake City,

17
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.239
but it was kind of midway through
that second quarter. Today, it

18
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.280
was right from mcget go. Paul
George defensively was in every passing lane and

19
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.079
offensively was getting to the rim and
able to finish around the rim. And

20
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.840
I think that really helped set the
tone for this Clippers team throughout that first

21
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.040
half. They kind of ran away
with things. The Spurs had fifteen turnovers

22
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.280
in the first quarter because the Clippers
were everywhere on the defensive end. A

23
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.760
really great performance to start the game
and a win that is needed coming off

24
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.879
the close one in Salt Lake.
No doubt, Spurs ended up with twenty

25
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.840
five turnovers. Clippers ended up turning
that into I want to say, thirty

26
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:51.799
four points. They were getting out
and running eighteen points in transition, twenty

27
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:56.079
second chance points, fifty four points
in the paint, and I just love

28
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:59.280
the spirit they played with. Even
when they had that big lead in the

29
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.959
third quarter, they did not let
up the starters play till about the minute

30
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:05.840
and a half point of the period. But I just like the fact that

31
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.719
the Clippers were playing their brand of
basketball, regardless of who the opponent was

32
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:12.759
and who the score and what the
score was. Hey, at the end

33
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.919
of the day, you know what
they did. They gave no quarter at

34
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.479
them. Yes, sir, that's
what the Clippers do, give no quarter.

35
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:22.039
And today the Clippers won every single
quarter. And when you do that,

36
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.039
you're guaranteed to win one hundred percent
of the time. And that's what

37
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.439
they did tonight, the largest win
over San Antonio ever in franchise history.

38
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.080
And it was a good one and
one needed. I don't you know when

39
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.599
you walk come away from this one
and you say that's how they should play.

40
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:39.520
There was nothing special about tonight that
kind of you know, knocked your

41
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.599
socks off, for lack of a
better term, The Clippers just played their

42
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.639
brand of basketball and came away with
a win. Yeah. I call this

43
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.360
a taking care of business type of
victory. Especially with how treacherous and difficult

44
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.039
the schedule is. You have to
navigate it by getting big victories over lesser

45
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.639
opponents so you can rest the starters. As the Clippers have their first back

46
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.919
to back coming up Tuesday against the
Orlando Magic then the Lakers on Wednesday.

47
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.759
We talked about during the broadcast but
it looked like Kawhi Leonard. He was

48
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.159
frustrated early on. Even with the
Clippers up big, he was going for

49
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.080
perfection. He won a big bounce
back performance. They got it. He

50
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:19.800
led them with twenty one points and
got another victory over his former squad.

51
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.599
He's playing against the former team.
He improves a nine to three all time

52
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:27.120
against the San Antonio Spurs, and
you're right at them. Seem like despite

53
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.360
his team leading twenty one points,
feels like there was a lot more left

54
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:32.599
out there for Kawhi. A couple
open threes, a couple mid range jays

55
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:37.719
in which he probably got fouled on, but it wasn't called. And so

56
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.159
you just look at that and hope
that fuels him. Can he be the

57
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:45.039
tone setter on Tuesday when the Magic
come to play. You get Orlando on

58
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.520
a back to back, gotta be
able to take advantage early and the Clippers

59
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:53.400
had to steal a takeaway earl as
San Antonio was trying to feed Victor Wembnyama,

60
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.400
what did you just make your first
impressions of the ninth or tenth wonder

61
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.400
of the world. You've said it, I mean the Antonio Skyscraper. As

62
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:05.400
we call him is unbelievable. Just
even a fast break where Russell Westbrook came

63
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:09.919
in to try to contest the ability
to contort the body at seven to four,

64
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.360
get around Westbrook and lay it up
with the left hand. What's impressed

65
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.439
me about him is the composure and
he didn't show much emotion on the court,

66
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:21.399
and that's something that is big time
because then you're not going through ups

67
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:25.720
and downs throughout the game, throughout
the season. He just plays his brand

68
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:28.439
of basketball. Struggled a little bit
today, but that's gonna come four to

69
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.959
ten from the field. Still.
There's some plays at him where you're like

70
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:33.959
off an inbound. He caught one
on the left block Robert Coven who was

71
00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.319
guard, and he just turned caught
it head high, flicked it up and

72
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:41.120
in and all you can do is
watch, like whether there's a defender in

73
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.199
front of him or not. That's
a bucket every time. Yeah, he

74
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.839
is special, going to be very
special, maybe the face of the league

75
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.800
at some point. Clippers get the
victory though today against Wemby and the Spurs

76
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:55.600
one twenty three to eighty three.
Their next contest coming up on Halloween,

77
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.480
that's Tuesday night. They're taking on
the Orlando Magic tip off for that once

78
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:03.000
at seven, we'll have Clippers countdown
your pregame shows starting at six thirty.

79
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:08.560
Carlo Jimenez, my friend, great
call. Let's run it back on Tuesday.

80
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.319
Let's run it back, Adam,
and let's see if the Clippers can

81
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.560
run it back as well. Big
one Magic coming to town coming up next.

82
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.399
Second half highlights. Clippers win big

I'm at a Mosland. Still to
come, we'll get to your final

89
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:53.680
box score. Second half highlights though, right now, after the Clippers led

90
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.720
fifty six to thirty seven at thirty
seven, number is what stands out to

91
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.639
me. Holding San Antonio under forty
points. The first half, Clippers were

92
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:05.879
at fifty six and in that third
quarter the starters continued to execute, and

93
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:10.560
it was a really nice period from
Russell Westbrook. Russ has been everywhere ten

94
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:14.000
points, five boards to his SIFs. Here he comes Euro step Russell,

95
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.639
the rim, the layup in the
bowel, He'll take contact and two Russell

96
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:23.040
Westbrook back door underneath Westbrook, left
block, layup up and end Russell this

97
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:27.319
left hand points to George were a
pretty fine steps through or left handed water

98
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:31.560
off the background. Put back yes, Russell Westbrook rebound recycle his own miss

99
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:36.879
Russ with fourteen points and eight boards
today and left winner Westbrook three rattles two

100
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.639
Russell Westbrook with his third three of
the ball game. He's got nineteen.

101
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.959
Russell Westbrook with nine of his nineteen
points in that third quarter, finished three

102
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.600
to five from distance. By the
way, Clippers led after three by thirty

103
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:55.160
three, who was ninety three to
sixty. The starters were pulled late in

104
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:59.360
the third quarter. They would not
return and the Clippers' backups would end up

105
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:03.959
winning missed one on one twenty three
to eighty three over the San Antonio Spurs

106
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:08.560

to twenty three. Coming up next,

We'll have Clippers talk for you. Eight

00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.360
six six nine eight seven two five
seventy eight sixty six nine eight seven two

118
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.480
five seventy is the phone number if
you would like to get on Clippers and

119
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.839
I end up shooting fifty two percent
from the field, sixteen to forty two

120
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:22.199
from distance, that is thirty eight
percent from three out rebounded San Antonio forty

121
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:28.600
eight to thirty seven, had sixteen
turnovers, but San Antonio with nine more.

122
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.919
They were at twenty five turnovers.
The Clippers ended with fifteen steals in

123
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.159
this one, and they turned those
twenty five turnovers by the Spurs into thirty

124
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.360
four points. Clippers got out and
ran eighteen fast break points, twenty second

125
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.320
chance points, fifty four points in
the paint and they were led by Kawhi

126
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.799
Leonard against his former squad six of
thirteen. He was efficient on those thirteen

127
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.840
shots, twenty one points. As
he was getting to the free throw line

128
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.519
went six of seven. There was
beating himself up a little bit. We

129
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.399
were saying, hey, Kawhi Leonard's
been a perfectionists out there. Even though

130
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.720
he's having a great game, a
very efficient game, he misses a free

131
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.759
throw. You know, he called
himself out for it, but you like

132
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.159
to see it. A nice bounce
back performance by the Clippers and Kawhi Leonard

133
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:15.120
after he was a little bit frustrated. I think with that lost Friday night

134
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.759
in Utah, Paul George had nineteen. Russ joined him with nineteen as well,

135
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.200
eight boards, three assists off the
bench. Bones Highland had eight of

136
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.240
his eighteen in the fourth quarter,
and I just love the way Bones plays

137
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.399
out there. You know what I'm
short in him a little bit. He

138
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.879
had thirteen of his eighteen in the
fourth quarter. Bones Highland is a bucket

139
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.039
instant offense, and the way he
pushes the basketball off the court and gets

140
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.759
this team into their offense early,
that's what you like to see out there,

141
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.919
a young player continuing to show that
growth and development. Norman Powell,

142
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.080
by the way, my player to
watch. He had an efficient thirteen on

143
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.639
five to eleven shooting, knocked down
a couple of three pointers out there,

144
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:01.399
had two steels himself. I thought
normOn Powell matched up Againstvictor women Yama was

145
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:05.639
actually a win for the Clippers somehow. Women Yama had just eleven points on

146
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:11.679
ten shots, five boards, a
couple of assists in twenty six minutes.

147
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.559
Mama said, there'll be days like
this. Victor woman Yama likely gonna be

148
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.360
the rookie of the year if he
just continues to play at a high level.

149
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.120
We saw what he did against the
Houston Rockets last game and their only

150
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.399
win on the season, but it
was exciting to watch him out there.

151
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.120
I'm still wondering how Rusk got called
for that foul on Victor women Yama in

152
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:33.240
transition. It looked like good defense, but Wemby getting superstar calls already.

153
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.120
And you know what, but the
way he has looked so far, this

154
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.600
guy is more than special. He's
something we've never seen before in NBA history.

155
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.440
It was a treat to watch him
in his first road contest tonight,

156
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.960
but even better to see the Clippers
get the victory against him. They win

157
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.759
one, twenty three to eighty three. They'll be back here on Tuesday against

158
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.320

For the Clippers, they were in
attack mode. Adam Ousleyyama maybe the biggest

172
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.080
attraction in sports right now literally,
But the Clippers get the big forty point

173
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.200
the victory over the San Antonio Spurs. They win one twenty three to eighty

on the show, we got postgame audio

178
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:28.240
from Russell Westbrook. Also Chuck Mockler
from Clips in Dip will be here.

179
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.919
Clippers got off to a strong start
in this one. The antithesis of what

180
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:37.519
we saw Friday night in Utah against
the Jazz. We wanted to see it.

181
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.080
It was mirroring what we saw here
at Crypto in their first game against

182
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:46.720
the Portland Trail Blazers, where the
Clippers defensively were everywhere contesting things at the

183
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.120
rim. That's what we like to
see, multiple bodies, and you had

184
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:54.320
to have that tonight with multiple defenders
up against Victor women Yama, who they

185
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.960
were trying to find early on.
Kawhi had a couple of steals early,

186
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:03.080
but Paul George with five of them, a career high for a quarter.

187
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.240
He opened up with five steals in
the first quarter. Paul George did and

188
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.240
the Clippers they led by fourteen points
in the first quarter. That's how you

189
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:15.759
take a lesser team out of the
ball game. Don't give me life,

190
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.480
don't give me confidence. Do not
let them think it could be their night.

191
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.720
They did it against Portland. They
didn't do it against the Utah Jazz

192
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:26.480
on the road. They did it
again tonight against the San Antonio Spurs and

193
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.960
Victor weinbin Yama. He only had
two points on three shots in the first

194
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.360
quarter and he finished with just eleven. Coming off his first victory as a

195
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:37.879
pro against Houston the other night,
where I believe he had twenty two in

196
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:45.080
a game that went into overtime,
and we didn't see all the different machinations

197
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.919
of his game that we had seen
over the past couple of days in the

198
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.559
highlight packages that have been going around, because he's the freakiest athlete we've ever

199
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.080
seen in this league. Before flat
out, I was talking with Jim Jackson,

200
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.200
former player, one of my favorite
Kings of all time. I know

201
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.759
he was only there one year.
Dallas Maverick, you might know him from

202
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.879
NBA. Jam You're always playing him
and Jamal Mashburn first. But of course

203
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:15.440
commentator now with Brian Seaman on Balley
Sports. I asked Jim Jackson before the

204
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:20.720
game, who's your comp for Victor
Wmanyama, And obviously you have to merge

205
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:26.960
two guys together. It's an amalgamation
of players because nobody has ever looked like

206
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:31.320
this, And he said Ralph Sampson
and Kevin Durant. And I like that

207
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.399
young Ralph Sampson before the knee injuries, very spry out there next to a

208
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.720
young Hakeem That was a team that
got to the eighty six finals and lost

209
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.120
to the Boston Celtics. One of
the all time great teams. But Victor

210
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.799
Wemenyama, with his shooting and the
way he can bring the ball to the

211
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:52.720
court. We saw that tonight,
but length of the basket and how he

212
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.879
disrupts shots even when he doesn't even
put his hands up. There was a

213
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:01.120
play I think it was in the
first half where Bones Highland thought he had

214
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.840
an opening of the basket, but
women Yama was waiting for him, and

215
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.679
it looked like he just saw a
ghost or something since it's Halloween, and

216
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.600
instead of going up, he ended
up throwing it. So what he thought

217
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.279
would be a player on the right
wing that would be cast with the ghost

218
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:18.840
shut out Noah ego because nobody was
there and the ball went out abounds.

219
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:24.279
It was a turnover generated by Victor
women Yama. Bones ended up having a

220
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:30.039
very good ball game eighteen points four
to three pointers, did most of his

221
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.440
damage in the fourth quarterer and helped
the Clippers extend their lead and get up

222
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:39.919
by as many as forty one.
But it's just a sight to behold.

223
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.000
It's honestly an honor tonight getting to
watch a game in person of Victor women

224
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:48.720
Yama his first road game, and
I hope he has a long and successful

225
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.039
career. But it was good to
see the Clippers get the victory and give

226
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.320
him a little bit of that rookie
moment where you take him down by forty,

227
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:58.799
that's impressive. And the way they
were playing him throwing multiple bodies.

228
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.799
Norman Powell, who has looked good
defensively to start off this season. He's

229
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:08.120
not waiting for the playoffs to get
back to playing that Toronto Raptors championship level

230
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:11.480
defense. Last couple games, I've
been watching him on the defensive end,

231
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.799
and he had a really nice fourth
quarter. And this is why he was

232
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.960
my player to watch coming into this
one. Had fourteen of his twenty points

233
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.679
Friday night in Utah in the fourth, but also defensively was good. They

234
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.399
were trying to pick on him,
wasn't happening well tonight. He got matched

235
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.879
up against Victor Wembenyama a few times
and I'm not sure he was scored on.

236
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:34.480
That's impressive to me. That tells
you he's digging in his heels defensively.

237
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:40.360
But Roko was on him early on
a Vita Zubats had his opportunities.

238
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:45.600
Kawhi Leonard in the third quarter up
thirty was battling for rebounds with Winyama.

239
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:51.679
That's your leader. I know he's
not your vocal leader. He leads by

240
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:56.360
example though to be up thirty and
giving that effort on the defensive end,

241
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:03.559
trying to crash the boards while being
obviously undersized against Victor as everyone is.

242
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:07.920
Is that boban Maranovitch. That's Kawhi
for you. In a nutshell, he's

243
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:11.960
a two way superstar. Doesn't know
when to turn it off, can't.

244
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.880
There is no off switch. He's
playing hard every possession. They got a

245
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.720
lot of guys like that. Paul
George is another two way superstar. Russell

246
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:26.000
Westbrook I thought after his first stint
where he struggled early, he then turned

247
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.960
things around quickly. In the first
quarter, in six minutes Russ zero points,

248
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:37.640
one assists. Then in the second
quarter he came back in and I

249
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.720
want to say that's when he first
hit a three pointer. He drew an

250
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:48.799
offensive foul. Though hustle plays plays
that go unnoticed, unsung, you draw

251
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:51.960
an offensive foul like that, and
I think it was on Victor. But

252
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.680
to stand in the way of the
bigs and the trees down low, I

253
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.400
love that. That's an all hard
type of play. You're not gonna see

254
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:08.200
it in the box score doesn't matter. But he ended up having a putback

255
00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:11.839
at the end of the second quarter. And then started to get in transition

256
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:18.559
and really cook in the third quarter
where he ended up with nine points.

257
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.960
So let's see, he had ten
points in the second quarter on four of

258
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:26.799
seven shooting, and he had knocked
down a couple of three pointers, and

259
00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:32.039
then in that third quarter has nine
more one more three and Kawhi trusting him,

260
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.839
saw him on a kickout where Russ
was in that far side corner,

261
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:41.680
found him for a three. That's
good team chemistry Russ. That's obviously not

262
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:44.519
his strength, not a great shooter. But last season with the Clippers when

263
00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:48.960
he came over shot thirty six percent
from the outside. Some said it was

264
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:52.400
inflated because he had a really good
game where I think he went five or

265
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:56.319
five or six of six from the
outside in that big victory where he led

266
00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:00.400
them against the Memphis Grizzlies and had
one of those throw go back Russ MVP

267
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:04.519
type of performances where he did absolutely
everything to will them as a victory.

268
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:08.960
But I'm interested to see what the
open looks that he does get. And

269
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.359
tonight he went three of five from
the outside. What he can do another

270
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:17.160
plus thirty leading them in the box
score. Once again, that was Russ

271
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:21.440
tonight did that against Portland. I
think it's just the eighth time in his

272
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:26.119
career where he's had a plus minus
of thirty or more, and he's already

273
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:29.759
had two of them in three games
so far this season. And he struggled

274
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.119
at times, especially with a shot
up in Utah on Friday. Wanted to

275
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.400
see how Russ would bounce back.
Very good performance of Viza. Zubas struggled,

276
00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:47.119
didn't give him much on the boards, but tonight sixteen eight boards,

277
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.799
six of seven shooting. Russ was
looking for him. So after a bad

278
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:56.759
performance when the Clippers got demolished on
the glass against Utah of eatsa, Zubas

279
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.559
turned it around too, and I
think it was Kawhi who found him for

280
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:06.240
an easy one early, a little
floater. He's always had trust in Big

281
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:08.880
Zoo, going back to his first
game as a Clipper, but then Zoo

282
00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:12.559
was blocked by Wemby, did not
deter him. Scored on Collins with the

283
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:18.160
left handed hook in the first quarter. I just liked the fact that this

284
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:23.480
team knew they weren't good enough Friday
night and they didn't play their brand of

285
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:30.200
basketball, and that defensive effort,
especially from the outset the opening tip wasn't

286
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:34.759
good enough against Utah tonight. It
was that's how you put lesser teams away

287
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:38.720
early, get your starter some rest
and if you want to navigate this difficult

288
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:44.480
schedule. I put it out a
sweet earlier today, and it was regarding

289
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:48.319
the Clippers being in their first situation
of three games in four nights starting tonight.

290
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:52.680
They got the back to back coming
up Tuesday, Wednesday, Orlando and

291
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:57.519
then the Lakers, and it looks
like Los Angeles, the Lakers, who

292
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:02.559
went to overtime against the Sacramento Kings, are going to take the l They're

293
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:07.359
down by five with fifteen seconds left. Nope, that's an l now officially.

294
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:11.799
So good on the Kings, making
them get even more tired legs having

295
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.480
to go to overtime because they're going
to get a day of rest before they

296
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.799
take on the Clippers. The only
reason I brought them up here in this

297
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:23.640
situation on Wednesday. That's a big
showdown, their first of the year measuring

298
00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:27.640
stick type of game. Yes,
the Clippers have won eleven straight against the

299
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:33.000
Los Angeles Lakers. They have dominated
them in the regular season. Has been

300
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:37.000
one sided. But if you're going
to get through this schedule. The way

301
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:42.720
to do so what twenty five instances
of three games and four nights, is

302
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:48.519
to take care of business against teams
who are down, especially in your conference,

303
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:53.160
like the San Antonio Spurs. They
already saw two teams maybe three that

304
00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:57.160
could be bottom three teams in the
West. I think Portland will be.

305
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:02.279
San Antonio is a chance to be. Utah's a chance to be. Is

306
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:07.160
them in the Rockets. Outside of
that, it's a slugfest in the Western

307
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:11.519
Conference. It's an absolute bloodbath.
It is as difficult as it has ever

308
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.960
been because teams like the OKC thunder
Well, they got even better. They

309
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:21.720
lost earlier tonight to the Denver Nuggets. Big SGA had one of his worst

310
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:26.400
shooting performances as a pro. Don't
expect that to happen very often. So

311
00:22:26.440 --> 00:22:29.640
you win a game like this where
your starters don't play in the fourth quarter.

312
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:34.319
That's the recipe. That's the formula
for success. To navigate through this

313
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:41.359
treacherous schedule that the Clippers have,
and it's more difficult than anyone else's because

314
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:45.240
of the third billing in their own
arena next year. That changes with that

315
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:48.119
sweet I mentioned, I put up
a picture of the into a dome.

316
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.279
You're not gonna see them have twenty
five instances of three games and four nights

317
00:22:52.319 --> 00:23:00.119
next year. Tonight, the Clippers
handled their business the right way against Sinn

318
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:04.640
Tonio. And don't think for a
second that even though it's been a while

319
00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:08.759
since he's played for them, last
time was twenty eighteen, that Kawhi still

320
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:12.200
doesn't get up for these games against
his former squad and lets him know what

321
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:18.039
they're missing. I think that's why
he was hard on himself tonight. And

322
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.599
by the way, he hit a
ridiculous deep Steph Curry three in the third

323
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:26.480
quarter. As we're watching to see
if his legs are there, if he's

324
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:29.400
looking good, he's looking healthy.
The three point shooting has been there,

325
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:34.119
and that is the best sign possible. Kawhi Leonard looks spectacular. He let

326
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:37.079
him with twenty one. Clippers go
on to win by forty led by as

327
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:41.279
many as forty one. Final score

were up by as many as fourteen

sixty six nine seventy eight sixty six
nine eight seven two five seventy You heard

344
00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:08.359
that good victory music from the Puff
Daddy and Family album with Biggie. It's

345
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.720
mostly about Biggie on that song.
I'm not the biggest P Diddy fan,

346
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:17.279
but hey, he produced some good
songs and dances in the videos. Is

347
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:22.039
should night like to say? Well? Source ninety five reference there Clippers big

348
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:30.880
victory tonight, not because it was
over an elite opponent. But sometimes you

349
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.960
can play down to your competition.
Sometimes you can get caught up in all

350
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:38.119
the media droves that were here because
Victor Woman Yama was in the building.

351
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:44.960
There can be those distractions that get
to you. We saw far too often

352
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.000
last season this Clippers team played down
to their competition, like I don't know,

353
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:52.039
loose to the Orlando Magic twice.
Oh, they're in town Tuesday night

354
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.799
on Halloween. I wonder if the
Clippers got some form. I don't think

355
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.119
they forgot those two losses last season
that really never should have happened, one

356
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:06.519
of them in overtime. So the
get back is on a little bit of

357
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:10.759
payback right now. But if you
want to be a championship team, especially

358
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:17.599
with this schedule, you have to
get up big on bad teams and teams

359
00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:21.799
that are likely going to be struggling
and young teams that are developing players like

360
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:26.759
the San Antonio Spurs, and I
thought their effort against Wemby was fantastic.

361
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:32.920
They just threw multiple bodies at him
and he didn't have many easy ones.

362
00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:36.559
Yeah, he had a crazy tip
in where they just threw it up.

363
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:38.720
It was one on one with Roco
and somehow he guided the basketball in.

364
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:45.319
That's gonna happen. But everything else
pretty well contested, including Russell Westbrook in

365
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:49.200
the open floor in the third quarter, where I thought he made a great

366
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:53.519
defensive play made Wemby think about it, lost the basketball. They called a

367
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:57.920
foul. Coach Luke challenged it.
Russ wasn't having it. He was arguing

368
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:02.759
he was adamant he didn't touch him. I didn't see a replay where he

369
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:07.960
did, but they confirmed the call
when we went to the line. I

370
00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:11.119
just like the attitude the Clippers played
with, even though they were up thirty.

371
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:17.960
No easy buckets, make him earn
everything, all right. Phone calls

372
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:19.160
eight six, six, nine,
eight seven, two five seventy of them

373
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:23.359
start things off with Damien in Southgate, No, Damien in La What am

374
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:26.200
I saying? I know where he's
from? Damien, what's up? He

375
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:30.960
is? What's up? Brother?
What's up, Adam, Man, that

376
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.319
was a great win. Brother.
I got a little revelation. I got

377
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.799
a little, you know, tear
in my eye because I remember going to

378
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:45.440
watch the Spurs play here on my
birthday, right and us getting beat one

379
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:51.119
twenty three to eighty three. And
I remember wanting to go see Tim Duncan

380
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:55.799
and the boys in them not even
playing in the second half. You're telling

381
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:59.599
me you went to a game where
the Spurs won by the exact same score

382
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:03.960
that the Clippers beat them by tonight. I'm telling you, bro, it

383
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:07.680
was on my birthday. We got
whacked by forty Okay, Like, and

384
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:11.400
now look at us now, you
know. I was like, wow,

385
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:15.960
tables have turned. If you look
at the plus minus, we're all in

386
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.759
the positives. I'm flipping over here. If I could flip, I would

387
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.200
do that. I would somersault and
do all of that. But I'm not

388
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:25.319
capable. Okay, so somebody else
do that for me right now, please.

389
00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:29.359
But man, everything was so complete, Adam. We were in the

390
00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:33.960
passing lanes once again, Roco coming
up big once again. You're not gonna

391
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:37.279
find what he does in the statue. It's bigger than that. And what

392
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.599
I love is that these guys are
taking care of these young teams. We

393
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.319
frustrated them. We were in the
passing lanes. We were busy with Lindeniana.

394
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:48.839
We crowded him. We played him
very well, and I like to

395
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.279
see that. I think the world
is a guy. You guys got the

396
00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:56.400
comp wrong. Bro. The comp
is a giraffe and a gazelle. That's

397
00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:00.000
what you saw playing tonight. Bro, that was a giraffe in the gazelle

398
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:03.319
together and it was marvelous. He's
gonna have a great future, but not

399
00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:04.960
tonight, not on our watch.
And I love it. Man. We

400
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:10.000
came out from the tip. Russell
Westbrook got us started in both halves.

401
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:12.359
I just can't say enough about this
team, but I have to, you

402
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:15.880
know, just do my part because
we got to get to the other guys.

403
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:19.400
Shout out to all the Cliffer Nations. Shout out to mister Moppler's going

404
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:22.720
to be on later tonight. Adam, You're doing a great job. Carlos

405
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.880
killing it, everybody's killing it.
It's a great day for Clipper Nation.

406
00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:30.640
Let's go all right. Thanks with
the phone called Damien. Appreciate it.

407
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:33.440
We're like a baby draft tonight.
Hey, he'll get there. Don't worry

408
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:40.480
Minihama. This is somebody I think
that has the potential to win Defensive Player

409
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:44.880
of the Year in his rookie season. Nobody's ever done that as a rookie

410
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.680
before. But the way he shrinks
the floor, he guards one half of

411
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:57.640
it, it's like Revas Island type
stuff ed Reid. It's amazing how he

412
00:29:57.720 --> 00:30:03.640
can redirect shots just by his presence, just by guys knowing he's there.

413
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:07.519
It makes you think a little bit
more, a lot more, and you

414
00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:11.240
could see it, the wheels turning
at times. How close is Wemby?

415
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:15.640
Is he stalking? Is he on
a rear view contest? Is he anywhere

416
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:19.799
in the vicinity within fifteen feet?
Basically because with his wingspan he can get

417
00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:26.680
there in a hurry. When you
saw in Gay one him block Kyrie Irving

418
00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:33.559
one of the best tough shot makers
I've ever seen in my life. As

419
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.279
a fact, he's one of the
greatest circus shot hitters, probably one of

420
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:42.039
the best horse players of all time. And he couldn't compute how to get

421
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:47.119
the ball over the top of Wemby
on a mid range jumper who came out

422
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:52.599
of nowhere for it. It's just
it's it's a marvel to watch, it's

423
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:56.960
a spectacle. It's Andre the Giant
type of stuff. It is the ninth

424
00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:00.759
wonder of the world. And it
was cool to see the Clippers play him

425
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:04.839
tonight. Even better though, to
see them get the victory. Damien there

426
00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:10.880
mentioned Roco Robert Covington, he almost
ripped Wemby early on, did end up

427
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:15.839
with a steal, but it was
Paul George who was doing it on both

428
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:18.839
ends. First, he had an
and one after missing, he followed his

429
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.640
shot, got it back up and
in then had back to back steel and

430
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:29.160
scores, huge throwdowns, had another
big steel in feat of eats, Zubats

431
00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:33.920
for a dunk, had a big
jumper in the third just in case san

432
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:37.640
Antonio forgot. Sorry to think,
oh, maybe maybe we can come back

433
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:41.839
in this one. We're young,
we're dumb, We're full of confidence.

434
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:45.599
We uh feel like we can come
back. We got Greg Popovich. Nah.

435
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:52.920
The Clippers starters tonight imposed their will. Paul George just professional with it

436
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:56.880
so far this season, the efficiency
in the rate he's been scoring. And

437
00:31:56.319 --> 00:32:00.319
there was a time out in the
third quarter where beats to Zubos that the

438
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:06.759
free throw line, and I saw
coach Lou pull aside Paul George and Kawhi

439
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:09.880
Leonard and drop a play. And
while you never disrespect your opponent, that's

440
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:14.480
not what it was. But when
you're up thirty, you probably have an

441
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:17.440
opportunity to try some things, to
work on some things that you had just

442
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:22.640
tried in practice beforehand. There was
a close practice with the Clippers. They

443
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:27.000
were locked in, they were ready
for this one. They were fully focused,

444
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:30.200
and there was a lot of two
man game in that third quarter with

445
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:36.319
PG and Kawhi and stuff. Maybe
we'll see later on along the way.

446
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:42.359
Stuff they're just working on, tinkering, fine tuning. That is also a

447
00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:45.720
benefit of being up big on your
opponent. And when you're playing teams that

448
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:50.119
are at the bottom of conferences,
you just have to win like this.

449
00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:53.240
You have to with this Clippers schedule. It's the only way to survive it.

450
00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:58.599
To get to work on some things
and also then get your starters out

451
00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:00.799
of it. And they were out
by I think with a minute and a

452
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:05.039
half left in the third quarter.
Quickly, let's pause ten seconds for station

453
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:12.200
identification. Here on a five seventy
LAS Sports, this is La Clippers Basketball

454
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:16.400
AM five to seventy KLAC Los Angeles, ninety eight seven KYSR HD two Los

455
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:22.839
Angeles and iHeartRadio station mention how Kawhi
was looking a little bit frustrated. There

456
00:33:22.880 --> 00:33:24.559
was a play early on where he
fell to the floor. I think there

457
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:29.039
was a turnover by him. He
was slow to get up and get back

458
00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:30.839
down the court. It looked a
little bit frustrated, but then knocked down

459
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:35.400
a three, had an and one
little step through move I believe on show

460
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:40.880
on Founder beatsa zubots for a nice
hook shot. Again guys finding him and

461
00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:45.119
then that deep three that was actually
end of the second I thought it was

462
00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:51.640
third quarter D three steph curry Land. But a big open three to start

463
00:33:51.680 --> 00:33:54.279
the third quarter. Is the Clippers
were pushing the pace a little bit and

464
00:33:54.440 --> 00:34:00.319
it's rare for Kawhi to get open
threes. Here's how play fast stir.

465
00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:04.279
When you get a stop on the
defensive end, get out and run.

466
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.720
Make the defense have to scramble and
try to fight. Oh, where's Kawhi

467
00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:10.440
at? Where's Paul George at.
That's one of the benefits of Russ and

468
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:16.079
Bones Highland, the way they play
speed demons out there. Sonic the Hedgehog,

469
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:20.840
sonic and tails whatever you want to
call it, knuckles maybe that's kawhi,

470
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:25.199
but I love seeing their superstars just
get easier looks. That's why I

471
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:30.880
think they really wanted to see more
traditional point guard play on this Clippers team.

472
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:35.920
One more call before we break here, Tagus and Walnut. Tajus,

473
00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:38.760
you're on Clipper stock without a massa. What's up? Hey? What's up?

474
00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:43.639
Adam good Win? Last year,
we didn't have enough of the blowout

475
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:45.400
so to get two of the three
games a blowout. They had some,

476
00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:49.760
but they were going the other way. Tajus. It was teams blowing out

477
00:34:49.760 --> 00:34:54.960
the Clippers at times. That's right? Uh? Is it me? Or

478
00:34:55.039 --> 00:34:59.440
does it feel like the NBA is
kind of letting teams play more physical on

479
00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:02.599
their swallowing their whistle to start the
year so far? Oh? Okay,

480
00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:07.440
okay. That is interesting because I've
been thinking about this too. The same

481
00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:12.840
thing happened to start off last year
though, and then slowly but surely whistles

482
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:16.039
were being blown as the year went
along, and at whatever point of emphasis

483
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:20.360
the referees made, they eventually reverted
back to write where they were. But

484
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:24.320
I agree with you, it looks
like that so far, Yeah, I

485
00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:29.639
enjoy it. Two questions. One, I missed the first half of the

486
00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:35.320
last game, but so far I
see Paul George and Kawi both being subbed

487
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:38.000
out in the first quarter, and
they're both out. Do you think that's

488
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:43.079
just depending on the opponent, or
that's something that Tyler wants them both to

489
00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:49.079
rest and try to have the bench
develop their play throughout the season. Yeah,

490
00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:52.880
I've taken note of this. I
thought that we're going to be staggered

491
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:57.119
more and maybe that will happen because
Coach lu talked about that at Media Day.

492
00:35:57.800 --> 00:36:00.559
But so far, there have been
stretches at the end of quarters,

493
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:05.440
end of first quarter in this one, I believe, and it's only been

494
00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:07.760
a couple of minutes, but where
they both been off. Now during that

495
00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:13.079
Russ has been on and coach Lou
spoke to this recently saying he wants one

496
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:17.119
of those three. So maybe I
misinterpreted and it wasn't about either Kawhi or

497
00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:21.599
just Paul George. One or the
other needs to be out there. It's

498
00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:25.039
one of them or Russ. So
we'll see as we move along here.

499
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:29.280
And those are some of the things
I look for, just lineups, mismatches

500
00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:32.320
rotations early on in the season.
I thought kJ Martin, after getting a

501
00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:38.280
DNP Friday night, kind of found
more of a role. I know he

502
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:42.760
didn't do much in the first half, but what I noticed with him was

503
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:46.920
he was almost playing the cherry picker
role because he has an elite skill set

504
00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:52.599
with his leaping ability. That's what
he offers this team rim runner dunker position.

505
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:57.480
So get him out there and move
him down the court and try to

506
00:36:57.559 --> 00:37:00.840
find him as they did a few
different times in the first half, just

507
00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:04.800
being the defense down the floor.
Then in the second half, he actually

508
00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:07.679
knocked down a three pointer and caught
a couple of ops. I think Mason

509
00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:12.239
Plumbley threw one to him. Big
plumb had a huge putback dunk by the

510
00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:16.480
way tonight. But just seeing how
guys are being used as the season goes

511
00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:20.920
along, that's just something you know, there's still so many unknowns with this

512
00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:23.559
team. It's of interest to me. Uh So what you're talking about there

513
00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:28.400
was staggering Kawhi and Paul George.
Trust me, I'm watching for that too.

514
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:30.239
I'll be interested to see, especially
in a game against the Lakers,

515
00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:34.679
how those two are used. On
Wednesday Night, but you can't overlook the

516
00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:37.559
Orlando magic. Guess we found out
last season. One more before we break

517
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:42.360
here, I lied, Let's go
to Sean and Inglewood. Sean, how

518
00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:46.159
are you doing tonight, my friend? Adam mah you my friend. Get

519
00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:50.159
hear your voice again. Although you
were kind of man at me last time,

520
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:53.199
I love you. Bro, wasn't
mad? We keep moving, I

521
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:58.800
said, I love you too.
Alright, alright, Well, I went

522
00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:01.440
to the Chargers game and I didn't
see the Clippers. I'll see the replay.

523
00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:06.360
I'm glad to hear they won.
I'm glad you approved of their performance,

524
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:08.559
and I'm sure listening to you,
I heard some good things. I

525
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:13.840
just want to say thank you for
that. I appreciate that. Hey,

526
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:15.199
they're not looking. They don't need
my approval. What the hell do I

527
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:17.840
know? I just see a score
where they won by forty tonight, Sean,

528
00:38:17.880 --> 00:38:22.719
How am I not gonna approve of
a performance? Eight? I'm glad

529
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:25.320
and thanks for spoiling it for me
because I was going to watch you replay.

530
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:30.159
But you're listening to Clippers stock.
I'm assuming you're on hold. Sean,

531
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:35.960
come on and Clipper Nation. My
model for the Clippers this year this

532
00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:40.320
year is no excuses allowed. Adam
didn't like it, but I like it.

533
00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:45.840
Well, I get what you're saying. In some respects, I don't

534
00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:50.119
hate it, but it's like if
you're missing your two superstars. I don't

535
00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:52.280
know if that's an excuse. I
think it's more of an explanation. And

536
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:57.039
that's why they lost in that playoff
series to the Phoenix Suns. It's gonna

537
00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:00.039
be hard to win if you're missing
your top two guys, and that's where

538
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:04.519
they've been the past few seasons where
they just haven't been able to stay healthy.

539
00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:07.159
We're hoping for better health this time
around. I appreciate the phone call,

540
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:10.280
Sean. We'll take a quick time
out. Clippers led by as many

541
00:39:10.280 --> 00:39:15.840
as forty one. They win one
twenty three to eighty three tonight over the

542
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:19.840
San Antonio Spurs, and they got
their starters rest and they didn't have to

543
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:24.320
play a minute of that fourth quarter
thanks to bones Hyland. I'm telling you

544
00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:30.199
he could be a big key to
all of this. He had thirteen in

545
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:34.800
the fourth quarter. Clippers just continue
to extend their lead against San Antonio.

546
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:37.519
More Clippers stock coming up, more
of their phone calls eight sixty six nine

547
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:42.159

sixty six ninety eight seven two five seventy.

548
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:45.039
Also, Chuck Mockler of Clips and
Dip will join the show. You're

549
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:52.280
listening to a five seventy Lspores.
LA Clippers basketball is on the two one

550
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:58.880
three era continues. You're listening to
the LA Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio

551
00:39:58.960 --> 00:40:04.679
Network. Last time that I chet
check, it was fine chaze on my

552
00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:07.119
neck, it was no smile on
my brett. Last time that I tech

553
00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:12.840
Clippers went what's twenty three to eighty
three over the San Antonio Spurs. Welcome

554
00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:15.119
back into Clippers Talk. I'm out
a Moslin. We'll get back to your

me, we will get there. Jose

557
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:28.159
Morris, hold on, but first
you hear the music. You know it's

558
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:32.199
a clips in double Dip episode of
Clippers Talk. Chuck Mockler is joining us.

559
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:37.320
Chuck, what's up? No much
man? I am in Montana.

560
00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:42.719
Thank you for having me. It's
about twenty four degrees here right now,

561
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:45.880
but watching the Clippers have an end
to end victory. Has warmed me up

562
00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:50.400
a bit after a hell iss day
of travel, so I'm feeling pretty good.

563
00:40:50.719 --> 00:40:53.800
Colder in Montana than the Spurs were
tonight Here at Crypto dot Com a

564
00:40:53.840 --> 00:40:59.079
Renos, they shot us thirty seven
and a half percent. Wemby was just

565
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:04.000
four of ten with eleven points.
What did you make of the Clippers defensive

566
00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:09.079
performance against San Antonio and specifically Victor
woman Yama tonight, Well, it felt

567
00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:14.159
like, you know, the game
against the Jazz, there was some physicality

568
00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:16.360
issues. There was just not shyness. I don't want to make a team

569
00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:21.800
like that, but it felt like
the Clippers were kind of resetting themselves with

570
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:27.480
this game on how they should play
defense for every single game. Wemby is

571
00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:30.280
such a tough guard because who do
you throw on him? But Nick Patoum

572
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:35.760
was weirdly a nice Wemby stopper.
I'm wondering if there's some kind of elderly

573
00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:39.639
French magic that Nico used on Victor
there. But I was pretty happy with

574
00:41:39.679 --> 00:41:43.440
it. The Spurs, you know, they're not going to be competing for

575
00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:46.599
a top playoff spot, even probably
a bottom playoff spot, but you still

576
00:41:46.599 --> 00:41:50.480
have to beat who's in front of
you and the way you build good habits

577
00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:53.000
is by doing it every time,
even against a team like them. This

578
00:41:53.280 --> 00:42:00.159
just in middle playoff spot for the
Spurs. Yeah, Boocket, you mentioned

579
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:04.039
Nick Batoomb, though I forgot to
bring that up. That's a great point.

580
00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:07.000
He had a couple of really nice
plays where he stripped him, the

581
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:10.800
ball went out of bounds and went
back to San Antonio, but he made

582
00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:15.599
him uncomfortable. And then he had
a block at the rim, a little

583
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:20.159
French rejection with the French connection between
those two where it looked like they were

584
00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:23.239
gonna have an easy oop to Wemby, but Nick Batoum was there, block

585
00:42:23.320 --> 00:42:28.000
tomb batoombo, whatever you want to
call it. I just like the fact

586
00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:30.920
that they got back to contesting everything
at the rim, which is what we

587
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:35.599
saw against the Portland trail Blazers.
I can live with some fouls, even

588
00:42:35.599 --> 00:42:37.440
the one they called on Russell Westbrook, which seemed like a weak call.

589
00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:42.480
When there's that level of effort to
stop an easy basket, you know what

590
00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:45.159
I'm saying, right, and we're
making them second guests. You know,

591
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:49.320
there was some I think it was
the second quarter where the fouling it was,

592
00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:52.000
or maybe the end of the first
it was a little sloppy, but

593
00:42:52.119 --> 00:42:57.119
if you can tighten that up,
you're still making a young team second guess

594
00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:00.599
what they're doing, which is,
you know, kind of the sentence for

595
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:05.079
a young team against such a defensive
minded squad like the Clippers. So I

596
00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:07.559
yeah, this defensive I mean,
I don't know. It's just nice to

597
00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:12.480
see the Clippers beat a team they
should be in a fashion like this,

598
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:16.360
and for the second time now this
season. Also for the second time already,

599
00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:22.679
as it happened in Game one.
Russell Westbrook a plus thirty. I

600
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:24.719
want to say he's had less than
ten of these in his career where he

601
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:30.280
ended a ballgame at being a plus
thirty or more. And I thought after

602
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:36.599
a short stint and where he wasn't
as effective early on, Russ was really

603
00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:40.480
good providing that energy. I mentioned
the play in transition against Wemby, and

604
00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:44.840
he was the one guy I saw
it early on was not afraid or not

605
00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:47.199
thinking about where's Wemby at as I
attacked the basket. You know. Plus

606
00:43:47.199 --> 00:43:51.760
he knocked down three three pointers in
this game. Great game from Russ and

607
00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:57.440
a nice bounce back performance. I
would say one hundred percent Russ probably.

608
00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:00.280
You know, if I'm sure Paul
George will play longer, it would have

609
00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:02.880
been player of the game. But
this is you know, I initially when

610
00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:07.920
the Russ trade happened, had some
you know, skepticism, but this was

611
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:12.239
a great example of even in the
game you win by you know, a

612
00:44:12.280 --> 00:44:15.639
bunch of points or something like that, that that doesn't matter to Russ.

613
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:20.039
You know, the score was zero
zero going into the fourth quarter in Russ's

614
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:23.519
mind, and you combine that with
the efficiency from shooting, which is just

615
00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:27.519
a bonus for sure. And then
like we just talked about, but Tom

616
00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:31.280
kind of doing these contests, all
of these things actually trickle down and it

617
00:44:31.719 --> 00:44:36.639
works, and Russ is a big
connector for these things, kind of affecting

618
00:44:36.679 --> 00:44:39.679
the rest of the team and holding
meaning as you go on throughout the game.

619
00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:44.800
In big games for sure, and
in games where you win my thirty

620
00:44:44.880 --> 00:44:49.639
it's very important because there's this level
of the Clippers when it comes to quote

621
00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:53.760
unquote taking things seriously. They took
it seriously tonight, and this is I

622
00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:59.519
love what standard they're setting for the
fans because now they all want to see

623
00:44:59.519 --> 00:45:06.360
this everything night, Like we've gotten
this tape of real focused championship ninety five

624
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:10.280
percent healthy Clippers, like, we
need what is it? We need seventy

625
00:45:10.360 --> 00:45:14.840
nine more games of this, but
the first three, aside from the stumble

626
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:17.719
against a pretty good Jazz team,
feeling pretty good, I know on Clips

627
00:45:17.719 --> 00:45:21.760
and Dip. We were very excited
about being three and l on Monday.

628
00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:24.559
We'll all take two and one after
how tonight went. Yeah, especially when

629
00:45:24.559 --> 00:45:30.480
the Lakers are one and two and
lost to No TV might have mores as

630
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:35.880
Zack Town made them work tonight with
that matchup coming on Wednesday. But of

631
00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:39.880
course, the Clippers really need to
get back victory against the Orlando Magic first,

632
00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:44.960
as they took him down twice last
season. But Russ Russell Westbrook knocking

633
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:49.800
down that three pointer at the end
of the first half, big shot,

634
00:45:49.880 --> 00:45:52.239
a little bit of momentum, shot
in the arm heading into the locker room,

635
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:54.960
and then the Clippers, you know, they stepped in the throat in

636
00:45:55.000 --> 00:46:00.239
the third quarter and Russ had another
three. He had that mislayup that he

637
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:07.920
tipped in himself. But getting in
transition and finding Kawhi and Paul George for

638
00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:12.880
open looks, that's just not something
we're accustomed to seeing those guys getting wide

639
00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:16.519
open looks, and Russ and Bones
are making it happen with the pace they're

640
00:46:16.519 --> 00:46:22.039
playing at and those guys running and
streaking down the floor and finding them on

641
00:46:22.079 --> 00:46:24.760
the wings. I just like this
brand of basketball, just a lot more

642
00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:30.719
exciting, more entertaining, and it
gets your superstars easier shots. Yes,

643
00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:35.000
there's more zip on the ball.
Bones, little carroless with the ball in

644
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:37.280
the first half, but he tightened
it up. Listeners of our show will

645
00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:42.679
know your fantastic rant about Bones,
which might be true. By the way,

646
00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:46.800
after this game we went surprise shot, don't act, So surprise might

647
00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:53.400
be true. And you're right,
it's exciting basketball, and it still remains

648
00:46:53.400 --> 00:46:57.920
to be seen very early in the
season. What happens when the Clippers don't

649
00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:00.159
have those transition opportunities, what the
half offense is going to look like.

650
00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:05.559
But because of these last couple seasons, when everyone's healthy, I don't think

651
00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:07.840
anyone's really worried about the half court
offense. We just want to see it

652
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:15.880
again. A quote unquote elite opponent. Yeah, Justin Russell on pregame,

653
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:19.880
and I believe he said they were
the second best team through a couple games.

654
00:47:20.679 --> 00:47:24.280
Half court offense wise, so they
were executing very well in that respect.

655
00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:27.800
You got to marry those two things. You got to be great in

656
00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:30.840
the half court, you got to
be great in transition. And while in

657
00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:34.760
past years it's been a little bit
of an adventure when the Clippers get out

658
00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:37.400
and run, they're starting to get
better in that area. They really are

659
00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:42.079
eighteen fast break points in this one. The stuff they have worked on,

660
00:47:42.199 --> 00:47:46.920
the themes and things they have preached
throughout preseason and training camp, they're starting

661
00:47:46.960 --> 00:47:51.920
to play out now. And I
just I like seeing that because it's one

662
00:47:51.920 --> 00:47:53.559
thing to talk the talk, is
another to walk the walk. As our

663
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:58.800
friend Will said recently on the podcast, I thought of eats A Zubat speaking

664
00:47:58.840 --> 00:48:04.519
of bounced back performances twenty two minutes
sixteen and eight. He and Mason Plumbley

665
00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:09.360
were much better in this game,
bringing that physicality and also Beats Zubos was

666
00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:13.679
being a focal point and they were
looking for him on offense. Feed him.

667
00:48:13.760 --> 00:48:16.039
He gets easy looks. I mean, the guy finished six of seven.

668
00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:20.400
He's gonna shoot seventy percent from the
floor or something like that. You

669
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:23.400
have to use him. He can
be a weapon out there. He's you

670
00:48:23.480 --> 00:48:28.400
know, it's funny. I think
of Zoobots almost like an NFL kicker for

671
00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:31.199
this Clippers team. Right when it
goes well, when he shoots seventy percent,

672
00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:34.519
you're like, yeah, hey,
sixteen to eight, way to go,

673
00:48:34.599 --> 00:48:37.679
big Zoo. But then he has
the game like against the Jazz,

674
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:39.360
and you just think, what do
you know? Fans like, what what

675
00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:44.559
is he doing out there? Like
Zoo is very underappreciated, but nights like

676
00:48:44.639 --> 00:48:47.480
this, I hope fans can see
that even if it's not that big in

677
00:48:47.559 --> 00:48:52.760
the statue, that his presence out
there is huge and he's sufficient, which

678
00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:57.480
with the Clippers new you know outlook
on if the easy buckets there, let's

679
00:48:57.519 --> 00:49:01.239
go for it. Great spot for
Zoo to be to help that overall team

680
00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:07.440
mentality. He is Chuck Mockler of
Clips and Dip. Follow him at Chuck

681
00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:14.239
Mockler on Twitter on x and guess
what. Tomorrow we will have the trifecta,

682
00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:19.960
the Triumphant Trio Return will be on
YouTube with Will Updyke as well and

683
00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:22.920
preview the next couple of games for
the Clippers, So look for that.

684
00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:25.480
Chuck. Thanks for doing a little
Clips and Double Dip tonight here on Clipperstock.

685
00:49:27.599 --> 00:49:30.000
Hey, thanks, for having me. Hope the callers are chills.

686

So far, so good. We'll
get back to him. Oh what a

After the Clippers win tonight one twenty three

695
00:50:12.519 --> 00:50:16.239
to eighty three over the San Antonio
Spurs, largest victory over the Spurs in

696
00:50:16.440 --> 00:50:22.719
franchise history. Welcome back in to
Clippers talk. I'm meda Moslin. Just

697
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:28.360
saw this quote from Paul George postgame
saying he put the Utah loss on himself

698
00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:30.760
even though PG thought he played well. But here's the quote. He's a

699
00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:34.559
guy that really owns up to it. Whatever it is, it was wearing

700
00:50:34.599 --> 00:50:37.320
on him, so I knew he
meant business the way he approached practice,

701
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:42.320
the way he approached the game tonight. Russ is a pro, he's a

702
00:50:42.440 --> 00:50:45.280
leader. Whether it should have been
on him, and I told you postgame

703
00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:50.199
it wasn't a lot of things went
wrong in that game in Utah, and

704
00:50:50.239 --> 00:50:52.599
it was tough to know how much
time would be left on the clock if

705
00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:57.880
Russ even tried to hit Nicholas Batoom
who if you watch that play one more

706
00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:01.039
time at the very end of the
ball game, John Collins was going to

707
00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:06.880
contest that shot likely and he's a
pretty good athlete, so they may not

708
00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:09.800
have gotten a shot off if he
had found a tomb on the right wing.

709
00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:15.719
But just cool to see the leaders
on this team right the ship and

710
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:21.360
get back to their winning ways tonight
against San Antonio and Russell Westbrook led them

711
00:51:21.559 --> 00:51:24.920
being a plus thirty out there.
Back to your phone calls, Morris in

712
00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:29.000
Long Beach, Morris, what's up
here on Clippers? Stop with that amazen,

713
00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:31.840
Hey, Adam, let me tell
you something. If we get to

714
00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:37.519
this time next Sunday night and the
Clippers only have one loss, the bearded

715
00:51:37.559 --> 00:51:39.800
one, should he come out with
he's gonna have to come off the bench.

716
00:51:40.440 --> 00:51:45.239
All right, dock you lady,
all right, Morris, thank you

717
00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:49.280
for the phone call. Yeah,
we're hoping. We wanted them to get

718
00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:53.400
off to a really quick start.
That loss in Utah hasn't derailed them though.

719
00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:58.119
They snapped right back to the team
we thought they could be this season,

720
00:51:58.119 --> 00:52:01.480
the team we saw against the Portland
Trailblazers opening night with a resounding,

721
00:52:01.719 --> 00:52:07.800
convincing, dominating victory tonight over the
San Antonio Spurs. Let's go to Jose

722
00:52:08.039 --> 00:52:14.440
in Downey, Jose, what's up
here on Clipperstock? How you doing a

723
00:52:14.519 --> 00:52:16.679
them? I wanted to make sure
to call in this time and not call

724
00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:22.280
in only when I'm upset, so
but yeah, they look good. Man.

725
00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:25.480
That energy was from that first half
and that really made the difference.

726
00:52:28.000 --> 00:52:30.800
They got that rest in for the
starters. They didn't have to come in

727
00:52:30.880 --> 00:52:36.000
the fourth. This is the way
they need to play every time. Might

728
00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:39.039
not always be a victory, but
if they always in the game, challenging

729
00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:45.159
every shot, trying to beat everybody
to the ball, it's it's gonna be

730
00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:51.239
a better season that way. It's
about keeping that competitive integrity. I think

731
00:52:51.280 --> 00:52:54.519
that is the phrasing that Brian Semen
has been using, and the way they

732
00:52:54.719 --> 00:52:58.639
challenged Wemby at the ram. I
think it was in the first half,

733
00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:02.400
Carlo Jimenez a star hanging around because
first and last to leave, that's the

734
00:53:02.440 --> 00:53:07.719
type of guy he is. But
was it first half when Zou and Roco

735
00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:13.199
just bodied him causing a turnover at
the basket, Carlos shaking his head,

736
00:53:13.639 --> 00:53:17.519
that was a big play. That's
just keeping that consistency on the defensive end

737
00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:23.000
and letting the opposition know everything is
going to be contested. No easy buckets

738
00:53:23.039 --> 00:53:28.440
at the rim, and it's not
easy to stop a guy like Wemby,

739
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:32.559
even with Roco and Sue. He's
that good, he's that special and unique.

740
00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:37.320
Before we get out of here,
Jose and Southgate, Jose, what's

741
00:53:37.440 --> 00:53:42.760
up here on Clippers? Stop for
that? I'm also lavging took an l

742
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:45.639
But this game we bounced back at
him, starting off with the defense,

743
00:53:46.199 --> 00:53:50.119
and then we were going up by
thirty and I'm like, okay, please

744
00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:53.199
don't let it be a Clipper Knight
and then bons Highland just comes in attacking

745
00:53:53.239 --> 00:53:58.440
like it. We're down by thirty
and I'm okay, Adam's onto something.

746
00:53:59.239 --> 00:54:00.519
I know we're almost out here,
so maybe you can get to it on

747
00:54:01.199 --> 00:54:05.159
Cliffs and did. But with the
back to back coming up, how do

748
00:54:05.199 --> 00:54:07.639
you think we're gonna handle that.
Our starter is gonna play the first game,

749
00:54:07.679 --> 00:54:09.960
may not play the second game,
or we're just gonna play through it.

750
00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:14.920
We won today against Spurs by forty, so I'm in a little bit

751
00:54:14.920 --> 00:54:19.880
different go Cliffs go, all right, a little bit different, Jose and

752
00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:22.679
Southgate. There, here's what I'm
hoping. You don't want to get ahead

753
00:54:22.679 --> 00:54:27.280
of yourselves. But if you come
out with the same mindset as they did

754
00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:31.480
tonight, they have a great chance
to also get an early lead against the

755
00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:36.079
Orlando Magic, and therefore you'd have
a chance to wrest your starters on the

756
00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:38.840
back to back, as the Lakers
will see them on Wednesday Magic tomorrow or

757
00:54:38.880 --> 00:54:43.039
Tuesday night, I should say,
on Halloween. Before we get out of

758
00:54:43.039 --> 00:54:46.079
here, though, we gotta get
to Big Bro, the fake philosopher,

759
00:54:46.519 --> 00:54:52.039
Big Brother Jake Warner with our positive
moment of the evening, Yes, positive

760
00:54:52.079 --> 00:54:58.039
moment of the evening. It doesn't
matter if it's a relationship, a lifestyle,

761
00:54:58.239 --> 00:55:00.480
or a job. If it doesn't
mean make you happy, let it

762
00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:06.360
go. Let it go, Let
it go. Yeah, man, can't

763
00:55:06.400 --> 00:55:09.280
be keeping that baggage around now.
Luckily we got the best job in the

764
00:55:09.320 --> 00:55:14.920
world, as Brian Seeman would also
say, worst day in the NBA,

765
00:55:15.920 --> 00:55:19.480
best job anywhere else. So what's
one of the best days in the NBA

766
00:55:19.559 --> 00:55:23.159
where the Clippers win by forty?
Lakers lose in OT? I mean,

767
00:55:23.840 --> 00:55:29.920
who's got it better than us?
Nobody? What's up? Harbross? I

768
00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:34.199
hope that situation gets figured out before
we get out of here. I do

769
00:55:34.280 --> 00:55:38.280
want to thank the Clippers organization,
Noah Eagle, Brian Seamen, Ralph Lawler,

770
00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:43.280
Carlo Hemenez, your new radio voice
of the Clippers on the call tonight.

771
00:55:43.320 --> 00:55:47.239
Fantastic work Carlo, the callers,
the listeners, producer Katie Newton,

772
00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:54.440
and our Dennis A. Gastino.
Stat of the night, the Clippers created

773
00:55:54.519 --> 00:56:00.519
twenty five turnovers by the San Antonio
Spurs, leading to thirty four points in

774
00:56:00.599 --> 00:56:05.519
a one twenty three eighty three victory. Until Tuesday on Halloween. This is

775
00:56:05.639 --> 00:56:09.559
Halloween Clippers taking on the Orlando Magic
tip off at seven thirty. Clippers countdown

776
00:56:09.559 --> 00:56:12.920
at six thirty. I'm out of
Maslin. We'll talk to you then.

777
00:56:14.239 --> 00:56:15.880
So why he was doing his thing. All they want to do is win.

778
00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:19.639
In La. I win. I
thought they gave everything they had.

779
00:56:19.800 --> 00:56:23.199
I'm very proud of them. This
has been Clippers Talk, the official postgame

780
00:56:23.320 --> 00:56:27.960
reaction of the LA Clippers. God
bless Paul George. Are you not?

781
00:56:28.239 --> 00:56:31.079
