WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:01.600 Clippers. 2 00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:03.560 The game is ended. 3 00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:05.960 Gather round boys, time to recap. 4 00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:09.080 But the post game coverage is just getting started. 5 00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:10.519 The success is the failure. 6 00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:14.800 Let's discuss this is Clippers locker Road breaking down today's 7 00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.760 action with the pre and post game voice of the Clippers. 8 00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:19.719 Here's ad a moss. 9 00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:21.199 Led Clippers losing. 10 00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:23.879 Houston won eleven to one oh three in game one 11 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:25.719 of this two game mini series. 12 00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:27.199 Welcome into your postgame show. 13 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.480 I'm at a Moslin coming up your postgame box score 14 00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.719 and some second half highlights. Let's get back out to 15 00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:39.399 Carlo Jimenez though from Toyota Center in Houston. Acarli, you 16 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.240 brought it up early on. The Clippers just got destroyed 17 00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.520 on the board. Something fierce. Coach Lou was looking for 18 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.799 more energy out there. They went with the young guys late. 19 00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:50.759 They made a push, but it was a little too little, 20 00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:51.159 too late. 21 00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.000 Yeah, too little too late at him. They went from 22 00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.479 a nineteen point deposit to a four point evicit in 23 00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.880 eight minutes, but the young guys couldn't close down the stretch. 24 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.679 I don't blame Tyl Lou in this ball game. Honestly, 25 00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.719 they were able to get comeback in this game because 26 00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:07.640 of that young group. You're gonna keep the young guys 27 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.159 out there unable to close the door. I think in 28 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:14.560 this contest, Adam, like you said earlier, a rare one, 29 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.319 because it felt like the Clippers got how efforted today, 30 00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.640 which is something we really can't say about a lot 31 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.840 of the games this season. They've been the team with 32 00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.079 more effort, with more energy, with more explosiveness. But it 33 00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:28.840 was Houston tonight the first of the offensive glass eighteen 34 00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:32.519 offensive rebounds, nineteen second chance points with the Rockets who 35 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.599 forced the Clippers into twelve turnovers today and scored twenty 36 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.799 points off those twelve turnovers. So you look at those 37 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.920 hustle stats, that is thirty nine combined points off second 38 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.599 chance and off turnovers for Houston, and that's really where 39 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:45.519 they won this game because the Clippers at him. I 40 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:48.040 thought they did a pretty good job of playing defense 41 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.319 in the half court. They were able to knock down 42 00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.000 threes today, they got to the free throw line, they 43 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.680 moved the ball really well, but it was the rebounding 44 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.760 and the points off turnovers that did them in. 45 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.319 Yeah, outworked out hustle by a team that has a 46 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.359 lot of young athletes out there. So Coach Lou said, 47 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.480 I'm gonna go with mine then late and it almost worked. 48 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.039 I still felt like, obviously the storyline coming into this 49 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.400 one was about Chris Dunn and the starting lineup, Terrence 50 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.360 Man coming off the bench. I felt like both guys 51 00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:16.879 performed well in their new roles. 52 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.479 Yeah, both guys really really did. Adam fourteen points for 53 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.360 Terrence Man, that's a season. I seven rebounds, that's a season. 54 00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.520 I three assists, two blocks, two steals, and me have 55 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.960 four stocks today for this Clipper team, blocks and steels combined. 56 00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:31.120 Jordan Miller I think was aggressive to the rim that 57 00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:33.879 play where he goes right through the chest of Van Vliet, 58 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.240 finishes the left hand. You see this team on Friday, 59 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.919 I wouldn't be surprised if we see Jordan Miller early. 60 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.680 Maybe TYLERU feels like the Kevin Porter junior experiment is 61 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.719 nearing its end. I know he's played well in the 62 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.960 last three games, but a tough one for him today obviously, 63 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.479 still though early in his NBA season and early after 64 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:55.039 not playing the previous two CONTs or the previous year 65 00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:57.319 in total. So for the Clippers. A lot of things 66 00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.759 about here. For Tyler Lou, I think you know, this 67 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.240 is group that's clearly a lot deeper than we thought. 68 00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.280 Something you mentioned at him that has more people available 69 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.479 off the bench, and does how does TYLERU utilize that depth. 70 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.479 There's a team in Golden State who's playing twelve deep 71 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:13.960 right now and has lost only a couple games. Do 72 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.000 the Clippers go that route? Do you go playing twelve deep? 73 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.439 I don't know what the answer is, but there's multiple 74 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:20.400 answers to this desk. 75 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.639 Yeah, when you're back at five hundred at six and six, 76 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:26.840 now you're searching for answers and trying to find something. 77 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:28.879 But you know, I'm interested to see how it beats 78 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.719 the Zubos responds. After this game where it felt like 79 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:34.000 he was a little bit lethargic out there at times. 80 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.919 They weren't finding him with the basketball as well. He 81 00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:38.919 got to go in a little bit early in that 82 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.439 third quarter. It seemed to flip the momentum, but it 83 00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:43.680 was short lived. I want to see Big Zoo with 84 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.039 a big response on Friday. 85 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.240 Yeah, it felt like in a game at him where 86 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.840 he should have a big impact on this one simply 87 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:53.159 because he had been aggressive, he had been effective. The 88 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.719 Clippers had been able to get him in motion and 89 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.120 in rhythm underneath the iron get him touches. But they 90 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.560 went away from him early and never really went back 91 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.199 to him until the start of the third and then 92 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:05.319 never went back to him again. Avita zubots has to 93 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:06.879 be a big part of this offense. I think that's 94 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:08.919 one thing that's been consistent all year at him is 95 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.560 and Clipper wins. He has been effective and just didn't 96 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.000 get him involved enough. Today. The Clippers will look to 97 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:16.959 ways to get him back in the action. I think, 98 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:19.040 like you said, they tried to go small for small 99 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:21.879 because they weren't rebounding the basketball. Maybe that's one reason 100 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:23.639 why Tyleru decided to go to the bench. I mean, 101 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.480 they were getting now rebounded at him and this one 102 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.079 forty nine to twenty three. At one point. It finished 103 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.600 fifty nine to forty two, but at one point it 104 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:35.199 was nearly a twenty six point deficit on the rebounding battle. 105 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.279 The Clippers just have to be better in that area 106 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.439 against the Houston team. Adam that yes, they crashed the glass, 107 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.759 they rebound hard. They're not taller than you. I mean 108 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.399 Javari Smith is six to eleven, Alfred Shingun six to eleven, 109 00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.480 then we saw a little bit of Jack Landell. But 110 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.680 their guards are six six sixty four by a vleet 111 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.360 six to six and men toomin sixty seven. Tarrey Easton, 112 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.079 who had eight milly shounds today, a game high, He's 113 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.480 at six six. These are not This is not a tall, 114 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.319 lengthy team. This isn't the Oklahoma City Thunder. They just 115 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.920 crashed the glass with more effort, and that effort was 116 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:03.839 the difference in this game. 117 00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:05.879 And we'll hear from coach lou post game, but I'm 118 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.160 guessing this was him sending a message to the starters, 119 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.199 to the mainstays that hey, you can be pulled at 120 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.720 any time if you're not given that effort that we 121 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:17.720 expect on this squad. I'm wondering if he and Jeff 122 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.879 Van Gundy came to that decision as well. Not that 123 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.759 he needs him to make it, but Jeff Van Gundhy 124 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.399 is all about hustle out there. He's watching the defense, 125 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:28.279 and this was the first time in a while it 126 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.680 just seemed like the Clippers' effort seemed to wane at times. 127 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:35.319 So far this season, just twelve games in Clippers lose 128 00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.560 won eleven to one oh three in Houston, to the Rockets. 129 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.480 As Carlo mentioned, they are running it back on Friday. 130 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:43.199 That will be an in season tournament game, same TIF 131 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:47.000 tip off time at five pregame shows starting at four. Carlo, 132 00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:51.160 great call, Uh, safe travels back to the hotel. We'll 133 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:52.040 talk to you on Friday. 134 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.839 Long bust ride back out. Talked to you Friday. Emritts 135 00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:56.639 NBA Cup. 136 00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:02.000 Let's go coming up next second and half action with 137 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:05.600 those highlights from Carlo Jimenez. Clippers were down nineteen early 138 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:08.279 in that fourth quarter. They made a run with the 139 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.279 young guys, but they came up short. They lose by 140 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.680 eight in Houston to the Rockets. As you're listening to 141 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.480 the Los Angeles Clippers, Audio Network throws it off. 142 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:18.319 The wind now finishes in the fowl. 143 00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.600 Los Angeles Clipper Nation.

Well, the Clippers were 157 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:59.800 down sixty one to fifty six at the half, but 158 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.920 in that third quarter it was opened up to a 159 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:05.560 ten point lead at eighty nine to seventy nine heading 160 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.560 into the fourth and quite frankly, the Clippers weren't even 161 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:12.519 competing on the board, So Coach Lou pulled the trigger 162 00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:15.399 and went with some of the young guys out there, 163 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:17.800 including Jordan Miller. As they made a run. 164 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.720 Late Norman Palell at Jordan Miller in front of him, 165 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:22.879 bounces it to Miller, lays it up, it's hacked, and 166 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.319 finishes over the top of him. In Tomson, here comes 167 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.240 Jordan Miller, muscles right to the rim through van bleet 168 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.800 and finishes with a left hand. Jordan Miller spins and 169 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.560 fines Man drives crosses over back to Miller left wing. 170 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:40.600 Three balls eye, eight point game. Jordan Miller gave them 171 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:44.040 a lift as did Terrence Man. Late Kobe Brown was 172 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:48.120 in there. It was a mere coffee as well, even 173 00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:51.240 Bones Highland. But the Clippers just didn't have enough to 174 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:54.079 close the deal in Houston, and they were down by 175 00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:58.160 as many as nineteen early in that fourth quarter. Clippers 176 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:00.519 end up falling one eleven to one oer three in 177 00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:02.759 Houston to the Rockets in this first of two.

Clippers had forty three boards, Houston 193 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.720 had fifty nine. Trust me, it wasn't even that close. 194 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:06.159 Houston had eighteen offensive rebounds. At one point it was 195 00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:09.679 forty nine to twenty three. The rebounding battle in favor 196 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.759 of the Houston Rockets. So coach Lou said, enough, if 197 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.960 we're gonna have big guys out there and still not rebound, 198 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.600 I might as well go small and try to get 199 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.679 this game closer and lean into juicing up the offense. Well, 200 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.879 they had it down to a four point game late, 201 00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:29.919 but Houston would make some big buckets. They prevail one 202 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:32.639 to eleven to one oh three and send the Clippers 203 00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.320 back to five hundred on the season and maybe back 204 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:36.919 to the drawing board in some ways with some of 205 00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.000 the rotations we saw in this one. Of course, Chris 206 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:42.759 Dunn starting over Terrence Man, no surprise there. Terrence Man 207 00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:45.080 was struggling. I talked about it yesterday on Clippers Talk. 208 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:47.000 Wouldn't be shocked if that move happened. 209 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:47.519 It did. 210 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:50.840 Then you saw Jordan Miller gains the ball game. Then 211 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:56.120 Kobe Brown bones Highland interested to see what happens. Next 212 00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.320 we'll hear from coach lou postgame. Next ball game for 213 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.440 the Clippers. They're staying in Houston. It's an in season 214 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.440 tournament game, the Emirts Cup.

Is the phone number eight sixty six 244 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:28.159 nine eight seven two five seventy. It can also be 245 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:32.559 watching us on the YouTube live side at Clippers Talk, 246 00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:36.440 where just a lot of people are overreacting to everything. 247 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:39.240 After this game, Clippers are back at six and six. 248 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:42.159 What have I been telling you? Around five hundred is 249 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:46.559 where they probably should be without Kawhi Leonard. That's the 250 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:49.279 level this team is likely going to be playing at. 251 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.159 Somebody's told me earlier today, if we're being honest, they 252 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:57.519 should be Houston, And I was like, why the Rockets 253 00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.000 are seven and four. They have a top three defense, 254 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:07.639 they're younger, they're more talented on paper, and they're one 255 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.399 of the best rebounding teams, especially on the offensive glass, 256 00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:15.120 where they just had eighteen offensive rebounds. The Clippers at 257 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:19.200 one point, as Carlojmen has pointed out, were down forty 258 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:22.840 nine to twenty three in the rebounding department, forty nine 259 00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:26.480 to twenty three. They were more than doubling up the 260 00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:28.559 Clippers on the boards. 261 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:31.519 So I think coach. 262 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.759 Lou had enough and said, if our bigs aren't even 263 00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.840 going to rebound, then I'll just go small. Then I'll 264 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:44.919 just try to lean in to offense because we're not 265 00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:48.519 getting rebounds anyways, and they weren't. It was not a 266 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:51.360 good game from a Viza Zubats. It was not a 267 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:55.000 good game from his teammates trying to get a Viza 268 00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:59.200 Zubats involved. He had two shots in the first half. 269 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.440 There was a moment in the third quarter where there 270 00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.120 was a little six to zero run. Big Zoo was 271 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.440 a part of that. After having make it three shots 272 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.679 in the first half of Etza Zubats had four shots midway. 273 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:12.159 Through the third quarter. 274 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:16.120 They were actually getting him going and the Clippers were 275 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.919 right there. Problem was bad endSo the quarter, and that 276 00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:22.840 was a theme in this one. You can go back 277 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:30.320 to the first quarter, guys. First quarter, Clippers score twenty 278 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:34.360 five points in the first seven minutes and they scored 279 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:34.799 three in. 280 00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:35.480 The last five. 281 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.039 Basically of the first quarter, it was twenty five to fourteen. 282 00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:42.360 Clippers were hitting everything from distance. They started eight of 283 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:45.720 ten from three of course, so did Houston. They were 284 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.799 knocking down everything. But the Clippers had an eleven point 285 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:54.759 lead early, but they scored just three points the last 286 00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:59.759 four minutes and forty six seconds of the first quarter. 287 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:05.919 Offense stalled out some bad shots. Kevin Porter Junior took one, 288 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:11.320 James Harden Premier Coffee missed the three. They thought they 289 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:15.519 could stay hot from three. It didn't last, No, it 290 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.879 did not. Now, they still overall didn't shoot a horrible 291 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.399 percentage league average thirty six percent, almost thirty seven percent 292 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.639 from three. But they started eight for ten. So the 293 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:32.200 rest of the way here they were what six for 294 00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:39.960 twenty eight. Yeah, that's tough after starting eight for ten 295 00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:46.559 from three. The Houston Rockets they had one of their 296 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:48.879 better three point shooting games after I told you in 297 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:50.960 the preview of how they've been so bad from three 298 00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:52.720 and you have to keep them there and that's my 299 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:57.919 key to the ballgame. They went fifteen to forty. That's 300 00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:03.159 thirty eight percent from three on high volume. A little 301 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:06.159 bit problematic, and they matched the Clippers pretty much in 302 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:10.519 that first quarter. Jalen Green got hot. They were six 303 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:14.240 of nine. Clippers started seven for ten, not eight for ten. 304 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:19.600 Houston was six for nine from three, so they're tied 305 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:23.919 up at twenty eight. Heading into the second Clippers early 306 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:31.080 second quarter started to assert themselves a little bit, as 307 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:35.639 Terrence Man is now with the backups and looked much 308 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:38.440 more comfortable. What did I tell you yesterday on Clippers Talk. 309 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:44.399 I tried to tell you, Yeah, it's probably time. I 310 00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:47.519 would not be shocked if Terrence Man got replaced and 311 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.840 the guy who I pointed out could be the Patrick 312 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:53.879 Beverly next to James Harden, just like he had in Houston. 313 00:15:54.519 --> 00:16:01.000 That would be Chris Dunn. Chris Dunn played really well, 314 00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:06.039 was thriving, so did Terrence Man. Off the bench, Terrence 315 00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:10.279 Man looked like Terrence Man again, much more comfortable in 316 00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:13.200 his own skin, coming off the bench, bawling his hands more, 317 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:17.240 getting into transition. The defense was on point. He was 318 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:18.799 out there with the young guys as they made that 319 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:20.840 run late. They did all they could. 320 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:21.840 They tried. 321 00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:28.519 To get back into a game down nineteen. Now the 322 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:31.000 group that was out there on the floor, and I 323 00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:32.679 should still go back to the end of the third 324 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:36.120 quarter because I'm talking about not ending quarters, right, So 325 00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:39.159 why don't I go back to the second even because 326 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:41.840 I didn't like the effort there from the Clippers either. 327 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:50.720 It was frustrating. James hard would miss a three at 328 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:53.960 the end of the second quarter. But the Clippers weren't 329 00:16:53.960 --> 00:17:00.559 doing a lot of scoring late at the end of 330 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:05.799 the first half. They were struggling. They had I want 331 00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:09.240 to say, I think nine points in the last seven 332 00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:09.880 minutes or so. 333 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:11.319 It was tough. 334 00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:14.960 They still had twenty eight though in the quarter. So 335 00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:20.200 it's really the third that I'm looking at where Houston 336 00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.200 got the jump on the Clippers, and the Clippers really 337 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.000 never recovered. And to that third quarter they led by 338 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:31.480 ten the Houston Rockets. After the Clippers I thought were 339 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:34.359 starting to get Big Zoo back into the ballgame, it's 340 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:38.200 seventy six to seventy one, after back to back buckets 341 00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:41.960 from him. Then it's seventy six to seventy three. This 342 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.839 was right after Houston had gone up by eleven. About 343 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:51.000 midway through that third quarter, Clippers had it to within three. 344 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:56.000 They had it to within two after James Harden would 345 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:58.200 go one of two at the charity stripe. It's seventy 346 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:01.000 six to seventy four. But the rest of that quarter, 347 00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:11.960 let's see, the Clippers got outscored thirteen to five thirteen 348 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.720 to five run to end that quarter, after Harden had 349 00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:18.000 it at seventy six seventy fourth to four to thirty one. 350 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:24.000 Mark didn't close it out well enough, and Tarry Eason 351 00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:26.559 went on his own eight to two run in the 352 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:29.319 last three minutes of the third quarter. So the Clippers 353 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:32.839 are down ten at eighty nine to seventy nine heading 354 00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:36.160 into the fourth and Coach Luke just said enough, if 355 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:39.119 we're gonna get destroyed on the boards like this and 356 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:42.440 coming out of the third quarter, let's see what we 357 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:42.920 got here. 358 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:44.799 It was. 359 00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:51.920 A forty five to twenty seven rebounding advantage for the 360 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:57.480 Rockets and fifteen to four on the offensive rebounds. You're 361 00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:01.359 telling me, if you're getting out rebounded forty five to 362 00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:02.440 twenty seven. 363 00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:06.599 By eighteen. 364 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:11.599 That Coach Lou doesn't have it within his rights to 365 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:14.079 just say, well, I guess we'll just play small then, 366 00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:18.079 because even when we play bigs, we can't rebound in 367 00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:21.799 this game. So to start the fourth quarter, incomes Jordan Miller, 368 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:29.359 Chris Dunn, Terrence Man, Norman Powell, a mere coffee nine 369 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:35.400 oh run by the Houston Rockets. So coach Lou goes 370 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:39.960 deeper into his back. Bring out Kobe Brown, Bring out 371 00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:45.480 Bones Highland. Jordan Miller had an and one to stop 372 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:49.400 the nine oh run early in the fourth quarter, but 373 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.319 then a turnover. It was kind of up and down, 374 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:56.599 but he definitely had some good moments. He absolutely bodied 375 00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:00.920 Fred Van Vliet for a layup, just went right through him. 376 00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:03.319 Kobe Brown, guy into the ball game, had an offensive 377 00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:09.720 rebound and a nice put back went through Shengoon on 378 00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:15.599 a play the young guys were playing hard. Jordan Miller 379 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:20.119 hits a three and guess what, It's an eight point game. First, 380 00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:22.200 Terrence Man hit one to bring it to within eleven 381 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:24.200 after it was up to nineteen. Then Jordan Miller hits 382 00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:26.079 the three. It's an eight point game. Clippers are in 383 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:29.519 this and those are the guys that got him back 384 00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:31.920 in it. So Coach Lee rode with him down the stretch. 385 00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:38.440 Now Kobe with airball uh Dylan the Villain would have 386 00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:40.279 a three point and put it back to eleven, but 387 00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:43.599 Bones would counter with the three of his own. Man 388 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:47.319 had a tip in in transition after a great wrap around, 389 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.440 passed to Jordan Miller, who missed the layup, and Terrence 390 00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:53.559 Man put it back in. Man gets another one. Then 391 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.799 he has the strip on Jalen Green. They said it 392 00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:58.599 was out on the Clippers. It was out on Green. 393 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:04.160 Ball Bones gets fouled, goes to the free throw line, 394 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:09.160 hits both. It is a four point game. It was 395 00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:15.000 nineteen early in the fourth. The young guys got him 396 00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:19.200 back in it, and Terrence Man, who's twenty eight now, 397 00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:22.319 can't really say he's that young. At the one forty 398 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:25.079 two mark, it's one o seven to one oh three, 399 00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:29.839 a four point game after the Clippers were down big. 400 00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.000 I'm proud of the young guys in the effort they gave, 401 00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:36.720
