Speaker 1: Clippers.
Speaker 2: The game is ended.
Speaker 3: Gather round boys, time to recap.
Speaker 2: But the post game coverage is just getting started.
Speaker 4: The success is the failure.
Speaker 5: Let's discuss this is Clippers locker Road breaking down today's
Speaker 5: action with the pre and post game voice of the Clippers.
Speaker 2: Here's ad a moss.
Speaker 4: Led Clippers losing.
Speaker 3: Houston won eleven to one oh three in game one
Speaker 3: of this two game mini series.
Speaker 4: Welcome into your postgame show.
Speaker 3: I'm at a Moslin coming up your postgame box score
Speaker 3: and some second half highlights. Let's get back out to
Speaker 3: Carlo Jimenez though from Toyota Center in Houston. Acarli, you
Speaker 3: brought it up early on. The Clippers just got destroyed
Speaker 3: on the board. Something fierce. Coach Lou was looking for
Speaker 3: more energy out there. They went with the young guys late.
Speaker 3: They made a push, but it was a little too little,
Speaker 3: too late.
Speaker 6: Yeah, too little too late at him. They went from
Speaker 6: a nineteen point deposit to a four point evicit in
Speaker 6: eight minutes, but the young guys couldn't close down the stretch.
Speaker 6: I don't blame Tyl Lou in this ball game. Honestly,
Speaker 6: they were able to get comeback in this game because
Speaker 6: of that young group. You're gonna keep the young guys
Speaker 6: out there unable to close the door. I think in
Speaker 6: this contest, Adam, like you said earlier, a rare one,
Speaker 6: because it felt like the Clippers got how efforted today,
Speaker 6: which is something we really can't say about a lot
Speaker 6: of the games this season. They've been the team with
Speaker 6: more effort, with more energy, with more explosiveness. But it
Speaker 6: was Houston tonight the first of the offensive glass eighteen
Speaker 6: offensive rebounds, nineteen second chance points with the Rockets who
Speaker 6: forced the Clippers into twelve turnovers today and scored twenty
Speaker 6: points off those twelve turnovers. So you look at those
Speaker 6: hustle stats, that is thirty nine combined points off second
Speaker 6: chance and off turnovers for Houston, and that's really where
Speaker 6: they won this game because the Clippers at him. I
Speaker 6: thought they did a pretty good job of playing defense
Speaker 6: in the half court. They were able to knock down
Speaker 6: threes today, they got to the free throw line, they
Speaker 6: moved the ball really well, but it was the rebounding
Speaker 6: and the points off turnovers that did them in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, outworked out hustle by a team that has a
Speaker 3: lot of young athletes out there. So Coach Lou said,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with mine then late and it almost worked.
Speaker 3: I still felt like, obviously the storyline coming into this
Speaker 3: one was about Chris Dunn and the starting lineup, Terrence
Speaker 3: Man coming off the bench. I felt like both guys
Speaker 3: performed well in their new roles.
Speaker 6: Yeah, both guys really really did. Adam fourteen points for
Speaker 6: Terrence Man, that's a season. I seven rebounds, that's a season.
Speaker 6: I three assists, two blocks, two steals, and me have
Speaker 6: four stocks today for this Clipper team, blocks and steels combined.
Speaker 6: Jordan Miller I think was aggressive to the rim that
Speaker 6: play where he goes right through the chest of Van Vliet,
Speaker 6: finishes the left hand. You see this team on Friday,
Speaker 6: I wouldn't be surprised if we see Jordan Miller early.
Speaker 6: Maybe TYLERU feels like the Kevin Porter junior experiment is
Speaker 6: nearing its end. I know he's played well in the
Speaker 6: last three games, but a tough one for him today obviously,
Speaker 6: still though early in his NBA season and early after
Speaker 6: not playing the previous two CONTs or the previous year
Speaker 6: in total. So for the Clippers. A lot of things
Speaker 6: about here. For Tyler Lou, I think you know, this
Speaker 6: is group that's clearly a lot deeper than we thought.
Speaker 6: Something you mentioned at him that has more people available
Speaker 6: off the bench, and does how does TYLERU utilize that depth.
Speaker 6: There's a team in Golden State who's playing twelve deep
Speaker 6: right now and has lost only a couple games. Do
Speaker 6: the Clippers go that route? Do you go playing twelve deep?
Speaker 6: I don't know what the answer is, but there's multiple
Speaker 6: answers to this desk.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you're back at five hundred at six and six,
Speaker 3: now you're searching for answers and trying to find something.
Speaker 3: But you know, I'm interested to see how it beats
Speaker 3: the Zubos responds. After this game where it felt like
Speaker 3: he was a little bit lethargic out there at times.
Speaker 3: They weren't finding him with the basketball as well. He
Speaker 3: got to go in a little bit early in that
Speaker 3: third quarter. It seemed to flip the momentum, but it
Speaker 3: was short lived. I want to see Big Zoo with
Speaker 3: a big response on Friday.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it felt like in a game at him where
Speaker 6: he should have a big impact on this one simply
Speaker 6: because he had been aggressive, he had been effective. The
Speaker 6: Clippers had been able to get him in motion and
Speaker 6: in rhythm underneath the iron get him touches. But they
Speaker 6: went away from him early and never really went back
Speaker 6: to him until the start of the third and then
Speaker 6: never went back to him again. Avita zubots has to
Speaker 6: be a big part of this offense. I think that's
Speaker 6: one thing that's been consistent all year at him is
Speaker 6: and Clipper wins. He has been effective and just didn't
Speaker 6: get him involved enough. Today. The Clippers will look to
Speaker 6: ways to get him back in the action. I think,
Speaker 6: like you said, they tried to go small for small
Speaker 6: because they weren't rebounding the basketball. Maybe that's one reason
Speaker 6: why Tyleru decided to go to the bench. I mean,
Speaker 6: they were getting now rebounded at him and this one
Speaker 6: forty nine to twenty three. At one point. It finished
Speaker 6: fifty nine to forty two, but at one point it
Speaker 6: was nearly a twenty six point deficit on the rebounding battle.
Speaker 6: The Clippers just have to be better in that area
Speaker 6: against the Houston team. Adam that yes, they crashed the glass,
Speaker 6: they rebound hard. They're not taller than you. I mean
Speaker 6: Javari Smith is six to eleven, Alfred Shingun six to eleven,
Speaker 6: then we saw a little bit of Jack Landell. But
Speaker 6: their guards are six six sixty four by a vleet
Speaker 6: six to six and men toomin sixty seven. Tarrey Easton,
Speaker 6: who had eight milly shounds today, a game high, He's
Speaker 6: at six six. These are not This is not a tall,
Speaker 6: lengthy team. This isn't the Oklahoma City Thunder. They just
Speaker 6: crashed the glass with more effort, and that effort was
Speaker 6: the difference in this game.
Speaker 3: And we'll hear from coach lou post game, but I'm
Speaker 3: guessing this was him sending a message to the starters,
Speaker 3: to the mainstays that hey, you can be pulled at
Speaker 3: any time if you're not given that effort that we
Speaker 3: expect on this squad. I'm wondering if he and Jeff
Speaker 3: Van Gundy came to that decision as well. Not that
Speaker 3: he needs him to make it, but Jeff Van Gundhy
Speaker 3: is all about hustle out there. He's watching the defense,
Speaker 3: and this was the first time in a while it
Speaker 3: just seemed like the Clippers' effort seemed to wane at times.
Speaker 3: So far this season, just twelve games in Clippers lose
Speaker 3: won eleven to one oh three in Houston, to the Rockets.
Speaker 3: As Carlo mentioned, they are running it back on Friday.
Speaker 3: That will be an in season tournament game, same TIF
Speaker 3: tip off time at five pregame shows starting at four. Carlo,
Speaker 3: great call, Uh, safe travels back to the hotel. We'll
Speaker 3: talk to you on Friday.
Speaker 6: Long bust ride back out. Talked to you Friday. Emritts
Speaker 6: NBA Cup.
Speaker 3: Let's go coming up next second and half action with
Speaker 3: those highlights from Carlo Jimenez. Clippers were down nineteen early
Speaker 3: in that fourth quarter. They made a run with the
Speaker 3: young guys, but they came up short. They lose by
Speaker 3: eight in Houston to the Rockets. As you're listening to
Speaker 3: the Los Angeles Clippers, Audio Network throws it off.

Speaker 3: can also get to me at follow out of a
Speaker 3: And of course we're live on the YouTube side at
Speaker 3: Clippers Talk second half action in this one as we
Speaker 3: run through the highlights here quickly. Well, the Clippers were
Speaker 3: down sixty one to fifty six at the half, but
Speaker 3: in that third quarter it was opened up to a
Speaker 3: ten point lead at eighty nine to seventy nine heading
Speaker 3: into the fourth and quite frankly, the Clippers weren't even
Speaker 3: competing on the board, So Coach Lou pulled the trigger
Speaker 3: and went with some of the young guys out there,
Speaker 3: including Jordan Miller. As they made a run.
Speaker 6: Late Norman Palell at Jordan Miller in front of him,
Speaker 6: bounces it to Miller, lays it up, it's hacked, and
Speaker 6: finishes over the top of him. In Tomson, here comes
Speaker 6: Jordan Miller, muscles right to the rim through van bleet
Speaker 6: and finishes with a left hand. Jordan Miller spins and
Speaker 6: fines Man drives crosses over back to Miller left wing.
Speaker 3: Three balls eye, eight point game. Jordan Miller gave them
Speaker 3: a lift as did Terrence Man. Late Kobe Brown was
Speaker 3: in there. It was a mere coffee as well, even
Speaker 3: Bones Highland. But the Clippers just didn't have enough to
Speaker 3: close the deal in Houston, and they were down by
Speaker 3: as many as nineteen early in that fourth quarter. Clippers
Speaker 3: end up falling one eleven to one oer three in
Speaker 3: Houston to the Rockets in this first of two. It's
Speaker 3: a two game mini series, including an nd season tournament game,

Speaker 3: sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six
Speaker 3: six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone
Speaker 3: number show final box score here, the Clippers just got
Speaker 3: decimated on the glass. Clippers had forty three boards, Houston
Speaker 3: had fifty nine. Trust me, it wasn't even that close.
Speaker 3: Houston had eighteen offensive rebounds. At one point it was
Speaker 3: forty nine to twenty three. The rebounding battle in favor
Speaker 3: of the Houston Rockets. So coach Lou said, enough, if
Speaker 3: we're gonna have big guys out there and still not rebound,
Speaker 3: I might as well go small and try to get
Speaker 3: this game closer and lean into juicing up the offense. Well,
Speaker 3: they had it down to a four point game late,
Speaker 3: but Houston would make some big buckets. They prevail one
Speaker 3: to eleven to one oh three and send the Clippers
Speaker 3: back to five hundred on the season and maybe back
Speaker 3: to the drawing board in some ways with some of
Speaker 3: the rotations we saw in this one. Of course, Chris
Speaker 3: Dunn starting over Terrence Man, no surprise there. Terrence Man
Speaker 3: was struggling. I talked about it yesterday on Clippers Talk.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't be shocked if that move happened.
Speaker 4: It did.
Speaker 3: Then you saw Jordan Miller gains the ball game. Then
Speaker 3: Kobe Brown bones Highland interested to see what happens. Next
Speaker 3: we'll hear from coach lou postgame. Next ball game for
Speaker 3: the Clippers. They're staying in Houston. It's an in season

Speaker 3: Clippers Clippers news happens.
Speaker 7: Let me guess it's about Kawhi.
Speaker 2: Here we are and now here. He is the host
Speaker 2: of your LA Clippers post.
Speaker 3: Game at follow Adam a Adam.
Speaker 9: Mosley Houston gives the Clippers all sorts of problems in
Speaker 9: the rebounding department as the Clippers lose one eleven to
Speaker 9: one oh three to the Rockets in Houston, where they
Speaker 9: will stay till another game on Friday.
Speaker 4: Welcome into Clippers Talk.
Speaker 3: I'm at a Moslin eight six six nine eight seven
Speaker 3: two five seventy. Is the phone number eight sixty six
Speaker 3: nine eight seven two five seventy. It can also be
Speaker 3: watching us on the YouTube live side at Clippers Talk,
Speaker 3: where just a lot of people are overreacting to everything.
Speaker 3: After this game, Clippers are back at six and six.
Speaker 3: What have I been telling you? Around five hundred is
Speaker 3: where they probably should be without Kawhi Leonard. That's the
Speaker 3: level this team is likely going to be playing at.
Speaker 3: Somebody's told me earlier today, if we're being honest, they
Speaker 3: should be Houston, And I was like, why the Rockets
Speaker 3: are seven and four. They have a top three defense,
Speaker 3: they're younger, they're more talented on paper, and they're one
Speaker 3: of the best rebounding teams, especially on the offensive glass,
Speaker 3: where they just had eighteen offensive rebounds. The Clippers at
Speaker 3: one point, as Carlojmen has pointed out, were down forty
Speaker 3: nine to twenty three in the rebounding department, forty nine
Speaker 3: to twenty three. They were more than doubling up the
Speaker 3: Clippers on the boards.
Speaker 4: So I think coach.
Speaker 3: Lou had enough and said, if our bigs aren't even
Speaker 3: going to rebound, then I'll just go small. Then I'll
Speaker 3: just try to lean in to offense because we're not
Speaker 3: getting rebounds anyways, and they weren't. It was not a
Speaker 3: good game from a Viza Zubats. It was not a
Speaker 3: good game from his teammates trying to get a Viza
Speaker 3: Zubats involved. He had two shots in the first half.
Speaker 3: There was a moment in the third quarter where there
Speaker 3: was a little six to zero run. Big Zoo was
Speaker 3: a part of that. After having make it three shots
Speaker 3: in the first half of Etza Zubats had four shots midway.
Speaker 4: Through the third quarter.
Speaker 3: They were actually getting him going and the Clippers were
Speaker 3: right there. Problem was bad endSo the quarter, and that
Speaker 3: was a theme in this one. You can go back
Speaker 3: to the first quarter, guys. First quarter, Clippers score twenty
Speaker 3: five points in the first seven minutes and they scored
Speaker 3: three in.
Speaker 4: The last five.
Speaker 3: Basically of the first quarter, it was twenty five to fourteen.
Speaker 3: Clippers were hitting everything from distance. They started eight of
Speaker 3: ten from three of course, so did Houston. They were
Speaker 3: knocking down everything. But the Clippers had an eleven point
Speaker 3: lead early, but they scored just three points the last
Speaker 3: four minutes and forty six seconds of the first quarter.
Speaker 3: Offense stalled out some bad shots. Kevin Porter Junior took one,
Speaker 3: James Harden Premier Coffee missed the three. They thought they
Speaker 3: could stay hot from three. It didn't last, No, it
Speaker 3: did not. Now, they still overall didn't shoot a horrible
Speaker 3: percentage league average thirty six percent, almost thirty seven percent
Speaker 3: from three. But they started eight for ten. So the
Speaker 3: rest of the way here they were what six for
Speaker 3: twenty eight. Yeah, that's tough after starting eight for ten
Speaker 3: from three. The Houston Rockets they had one of their
Speaker 3: better three point shooting games after I told you in
Speaker 3: the preview of how they've been so bad from three
Speaker 3: and you have to keep them there and that's my
Speaker 3: key to the ballgame. They went fifteen to forty. That's
Speaker 3: thirty eight percent from three on high volume. A little
Speaker 3: bit problematic, and they matched the Clippers pretty much in
Speaker 3: that first quarter. Jalen Green got hot. They were six
Speaker 3: of nine. Clippers started seven for ten, not eight for ten.
Speaker 3: Houston was six for nine from three, so they're tied
Speaker 3: up at twenty eight. Heading into the second Clippers early
Speaker 3: second quarter started to assert themselves a little bit, as
Speaker 3: Terrence Man is now with the backups and looked much
Speaker 3: more comfortable. What did I tell you yesterday on Clippers Talk.
Speaker 3: I tried to tell you, Yeah, it's probably time. I
Speaker 3: would not be shocked if Terrence Man got replaced and
Speaker 3: the guy who I pointed out could be the Patrick
Speaker 3: Beverly next to James Harden, just like he had in Houston.
Speaker 3: That would be Chris Dunn. Chris Dunn played really well,
Speaker 3: was thriving, so did Terrence Man. Off the bench, Terrence
Speaker 3: Man looked like Terrence Man again, much more comfortable in
Speaker 3: his own skin, coming off the bench, bawling his hands more,
Speaker 3: getting into transition. The defense was on point. He was
Speaker 3: out there with the young guys as they made that
Speaker 3: run late. They did all they could.
Speaker 4: They tried.
Speaker 3: To get back into a game down nineteen. Now the
Speaker 3: group that was out there on the floor, and I
Speaker 3: should still go back to the end of the third
Speaker 3: quarter because I'm talking about not ending quarters, right, So
Speaker 3: why don't I go back to the second even because
Speaker 3: I didn't like the effort there from the Clippers either.
Speaker 3: It was frustrating. James hard would miss a three at
Speaker 3: the end of the second quarter. But the Clippers weren't
Speaker 3: doing a lot of scoring late at the end of
Speaker 3: the first half. They were struggling. They had I want
Speaker 3: to say, I think nine points in the last seven
Speaker 3: minutes or so.
Speaker 4: It was tough.
Speaker 3: They still had twenty eight though in the quarter. So
Speaker 3: it's really the third that I'm looking at where Houston
Speaker 3: got the jump on the Clippers, and the Clippers really
Speaker 3: never recovered. And to that third quarter they led by
Speaker 3: ten the Houston Rockets. After the Clippers I thought were
Speaker 3: starting to get Big Zoo back into the ballgame, it's
Speaker 3: seventy six to seventy one, after back to back buckets
Speaker 3: from him. Then it's seventy six to seventy three. This
Speaker 3: was right after Houston had gone up by eleven. About
Speaker 3: midway through that third quarter, Clippers had it to within three.
Speaker 3: They had it to within two after James Harden would
Speaker 3: go one of two at the charity stripe. It's seventy
Speaker 3: six to seventy four. But the rest of that quarter,
Speaker 3: let's see, the Clippers got outscored thirteen to five thirteen
Speaker 3: to five run to end that quarter, after Harden had
Speaker 3: it at seventy six seventy fourth to four to thirty one.
Speaker 3: Mark didn't close it out well enough, and Tarry Eason
Speaker 3: went on his own eight to two run in the
Speaker 3: last three minutes of the third quarter. So the Clippers
Speaker 3: are down ten at eighty nine to seventy nine heading
Speaker 3: into the fourth and Coach Luke just said enough, if
Speaker 3: we're gonna get destroyed on the boards like this and
Speaker 3: coming out of the third quarter, let's see what we
Speaker 3: got here.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 3: A forty five to twenty seven rebounding advantage for the
Speaker 3: Rockets and fifteen to four on the offensive rebounds. You're
Speaker 3: telling me, if you're getting out rebounded forty five to
Speaker 3: twenty seven.
Speaker 4: By eighteen.
Speaker 3: That Coach Lou doesn't have it within his rights to
Speaker 3: just say, well, I guess we'll just play small then,
Speaker 3: because even when we play bigs, we can't rebound in
Speaker 3: this game. So to start the fourth quarter, incomes Jordan Miller,
Speaker 3: Chris Dunn, Terrence Man, Norman Powell, a mere coffee nine
Speaker 3: oh run by the Houston Rockets. So coach Lou goes
Speaker 3: deeper into his back. Bring out Kobe Brown, Bring out
Speaker 3: Bones Highland. Jordan Miller had an and one to stop
Speaker 3: the nine oh run early in the fourth quarter, but
Speaker 3: then a turnover. It was kind of up and down,
Speaker 3: but he definitely had some good moments. He absolutely bodied
Speaker 3: Fred Van Vliet for a layup, just went right through him.
Speaker 3: Kobe Brown, guy into the ball game, had an offensive
Speaker 3: rebound and a nice put back went through Shengoon on
Speaker 3: a play the young guys were playing hard. Jordan Miller
Speaker 3: hits a three and guess what, It's an eight point game. First,
Speaker 3: Terrence Man hit one to bring it to within eleven
Speaker 3: after it was up to nineteen. Then Jordan Miller hits
Speaker 3: the three. It's an eight point game. Clippers are in
Speaker 3: this and those are the guys that got him back
Speaker 3: in it. So Coach Lee rode with him down the stretch.
Speaker 3: Now Kobe with airball uh Dylan the Villain would have
Speaker 3: a three point and put it back to eleven, but
Speaker 3: Bones would counter with the three of his own. Man
Speaker 3: had a tip in in transition after a great wrap around,
Speaker 3: passed to Jordan Miller, who missed the layup, and Terrence
Speaker 3: Man put it back in. Man gets another one. Then
Speaker 3: he has the strip on Jalen Green. They said it
Speaker 3: was out on the Clippers. It was out on Green.
Speaker 3: Ball Bones gets fouled, goes to the free throw line,
Speaker 3: hits both. It is a four point game. It was
Speaker 3: nineteen early in the fourth. The young guys got him
Speaker 3: back in it, and Terrence Man, who's twenty eight now,
Speaker 3: can't really say he's that young. At the one forty
Speaker 3: two mark, it's one o seven to one oh three,
Speaker 3: a four point game after the Clippers were down big.
Speaker 3: I'm proud of the young guys in the effort they gave,
Speaker 3: and I think that's what coach Lee was looking for.
Speaker 3: And I think he was sending a message to the
Speaker 3: starters because guys, I'm here to tell you this was
Speaker 3: the first time I would say this season that the
Speaker 3: Clippers were getting outworked at times. We're not used to
Speaker 3: seeing that. Houston is young, athletic, hungry, Emaio Doak as
Speaker 3: a great coach.
Speaker 4: They're gonna play hard.
Speaker 3: Their best in the league when it comes to opponents
Speaker 3: points in the paint, they don't let you get in there.
Speaker 3: They're best in the league when it comes to opponents
Speaker 3: in transition, you don't get a lot of appearances points
Speaker 3: against them. They are top three defense. They hadn't been
Speaker 3: good on offense tonight. They finally got loose from three
Speaker 3: after shooting thirty eight percent on forty attempts. That's fifteen makes.
Speaker 4: That kills you.
Speaker 3: But the rebounding where they were I think second in
Speaker 3: offensive rebounding coming into this game percentage. They just dismantled
Speaker 3: the Clippers there. Unfortunately, after the Clippers got a stop
Speaker 3: down four at the one forty two mark, Jordan Miller
Speaker 3: missed a three pointer, Alfred Shangoon had a dunk, then
Speaker 3: he blocked Jordan Miller go drive into the hoop. Time
Speaker 3: out one O nine to one oh three. Terrence Man
Speaker 3: had a turnover, but on the inbounds pass to Jordan Miller,
Speaker 3: Thompson just took it away. But then the Clippers got
Speaker 3: an eight second violation. The young guys did that. It's
Speaker 3: one o nine, one oh three. But unfortunately there would
Speaker 3: be another bucket from I believe Easan, who was the
Speaker 3: story of the game. He made it one eleven to
Speaker 3: one oh three. That's your final. Too little, too late.
Speaker 3: I admire coach lou for shaking up the lineup and saying, look,
Speaker 3: if our starters aren't good enough, if they're not playing
Speaker 3: hard enough, it's one thing not to execute, it's another
Speaker 3: not to have that effort out there that we're making changes.
Speaker 3: We'll take a quick time out, we'll come back. We'll
Speaker 3: get to your phone calls. Eight six six ninety seven

Speaker 3: up to start the fourth. I don't think he gave up.
Speaker 3: I think you're missing the point. Ty Lou said, we're
Speaker 3: not getting rebounds with our starters and our bigs, like
Speaker 3: if each a zoubach right now, So forget it. Let's
Speaker 3: give other guys a shot who are gonna give effort
Speaker 3: out there.
Speaker 4: And what happened?
Speaker 3: They got it down to four late, Like that's what
Speaker 3: that was. We can't rebound even with our big men,
Speaker 3: so we might as well lean into offense.

Speaker 3: go out there and play with effort because they were
Speaker 3: getting shellacked on the boards. Do you know how bad
Speaker 3: being out rebounded forty nine to twenty three is That's
Speaker 3: what it was. At one point in the third quarter,
Speaker 3: the Clippers effort was not good. Coach Lou was searching
Speaker 3: for energy, guys who wanted to play hard and sending
Speaker 3: a message to the guys who weren't.
Speaker 4: That's my read on it.
Speaker 3: That's exactly what I think that was from Coach Lou.
Speaker 3: They were still trying to win, but a lot of
Speaker 3: the key rotation pieces, a lot of the starters, they
Speaker 3: weren't playing great. I think that has to be pointed
Speaker 3: out here. Coach Lou did point out post game that
Speaker 3: starting lineup change is a permanent one, not a one off.
Speaker 3: Said the athleticism from the Rockets was a real problem.
Speaker 3: Wanted to give Jordan Miller, Kobe Brown and Bones Highland
Speaker 3: opportunities to match that which they were. He wasn't giving
Speaker 3: up on the game. He was trying to match their athleticism.
Speaker 3: He also was happy about Terrence Man's performance and how
Speaker 3: him and the second unit got him back on track.
Speaker 3: That was a different Terrence Man out there throughout the
Speaker 3: entire game. That's the best game he's played all season.
Speaker 3: Three early in the second another one late. The lob
Speaker 3: from done in the second quarter, going downhill, getting to
Speaker 3: the hoop, getting fouled in the second, the steal and
Speaker 3: the lob to Emir from Terrence Man. That's it right there, No, Mike,
Speaker 3: he didn't give up on the starters. The starters didn't perform.
Speaker 3: If you don't perform, this is what happens. If you
Speaker 3: don't play well, this is what happens. And against a
Speaker 3: super athletic team like the Houston Rockets, wouldn't it make
Speaker 3: sense to get athleticism out there? You are matching athleticism
Speaker 3: with bones highland Himothy. Do you not see the burst
Speaker 3: he plays with like there is logic to what he did.
Speaker 3: And you guys who just want to look for anything
Speaker 3: to jump on coach lou with you think this is
Speaker 3: blood in the water. But the truth isn't almost one
Speaker 3: of the game if it did, what would you all
Speaker 3: be saying right now? What if you just went to
Speaker 3: those guys earlier?
Speaker 4: Team?
Speaker 3: Man wasn't just striving in transition, Terrence Man. He took
Speaker 3: three three pointers, He had fourteen eight, three assists, two blocks.
Speaker 3: His defense was incredible. It's the best he has played.
Speaker 3: He looked comfortable, he was free.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 3: Let's go to Mike in La Mike, you're a Clipper
Speaker 3: stop with out of mauls and what's up, Mike, Well, I.
Speaker 1: Didn't so I didn't get a chance to see the
Speaker 1: game tonight. But just you know, looking at the you know,
Speaker 1: box scores online and you know, trying to read about it.
Speaker 1: So I agree with what you're saying that, you know,
Speaker 1: going with the you know, going with the guys lam
Speaker 1: played much disser. Going with the younger guys was absolutely
Speaker 1: the right move. I wish you would have done it sooner.
Speaker 1: You know, they they got back in the game, they
Speaker 1: played with her, they played hard. I mean, then you
Speaker 1: know you're right that this is really the first and
Speaker 1: this was the first game this year where you know,
Speaker 1: we really just got worked on the boards.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, they got destroyed. And people are overreacting
Speaker 3: to that and saying like we need a power forward, now,
Speaker 3: we need more size. It's like it's one game against
Speaker 3: one of the best rebounding teams in the league. That's
Speaker 3: their strength offensive rebounding for the Houston Rockets. Like, I
Speaker 3: don't know what people were expecting coming into this one.
Speaker 3: I tried to lay it out in the preview, but
Speaker 3: I just it's amazing to me, the same people saying,
Speaker 3: the same people saying mk x L and T points
Speaker 3: this out. People were crying to play Jordan Miller, but
Speaker 3: then when he plays them now they're crying and saying,
Speaker 3: Coach Lou gave up on the starters, like it's just
Speaker 3: it's ridiculous. He played guys that brought energy and played
Speaker 3: hard down the stretch and it almost won the game.
Speaker 10: I agree.
Speaker 1: I mean, and you know, I think you're also right?
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Houston on paper is better than
Speaker 1: than the Clippers, especially I mean without Kawhi. I mean
Speaker 1: it's not it's not, you know, necessarily even that close.
Speaker 1: I mean, they got they have a lot of good
Speaker 1: players on that team.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know who else had a bad game his
Speaker 3: first bad game with the season back with the Clippers,
Speaker 3: Nico Buttoom. He was a minus twenty two out there
Speaker 3: in fourteen minutes. He missed a lot of good looks
Speaker 3: from three when the Clippers were searching to try to
Speaker 3: get somebody that could get them a bucket, he had
Speaker 3: some good looks. You don't often ever see him a
Speaker 3: negative in the box score or just say, you know,
Speaker 3: Nico Buttoom actually had a bad game, so now it
Speaker 3: just doesn't happen. So a recipe for disaster. I guess
Speaker 3: if even Nico's having a bad.
Speaker 1: Game, Yeah, Nico, and without a you know, Superman performance
Speaker 1: by Norton.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, this was the first time, what in
Speaker 3: the last ten games that Norman Powell hasn't had twenty
Speaker 3: points or more. He at thirteen, he was five of eighteen.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna happen at some point in the
Speaker 1: fact that you know, they were able to, you know,
Speaker 1: get back in and make this competitive with the younger guys.
Speaker 11: It's somewhere urging.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know much as obviously we don't like, you know,
Speaker 1: the loss, but you're gonna take what you can get.
Speaker 4: I agree with you, Mike.
Speaker 3: It's it's called analysis, Like we're trying to figure out
Speaker 3: exactly why they lost, who played well, who didn't, and
Speaker 3: what they can change in a future game like the
Speaker 3: one coming a Friday against this very team in Houston. Mike,
Speaker 3: appreciate the phone call, Give me a call back on Friday.
Speaker 3: Quick time out here. More Clippers stock coming up next
Speaker 3: eight sixty six, ninety eight seven two five seventy eight
Speaker 3: six six ninety eight seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 3: phone number.
Speaker 4: I'm out of Mosland.
Speaker 3: Can also get to me at Clippers Talk on the
Speaker 3: YouTube side. It's just amazing how one game after how
Speaker 3: good the Clippers have been rebounding wise, every he goes
Speaker 3: right back to what they need more size of four. Now,
Speaker 3: I can't give you a name that's realistic that they
Speaker 3: can get at them, but they just need it. Ah,
Speaker 3: I'm looking for actual solutions and to overreact because they
Speaker 3: lost the board battle badly to a team that's great
Speaker 3: at it, and the Clippers effort just wasn't good tonight.
Speaker 4: What do you think was gonna happen?
Speaker 3: You don't play hard enough against a team like the
Speaker 3: Houston Rockets with their athleticism, young legs and rebounding ability. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's what happens. I give coach lou a ton of
Speaker 3: credit for trying the young guys laid and they almost
Speaker 3: pulled through. Yeah, they almost got a victory. Is it
Speaker 3: good enough? No? Could it be something they could still
Speaker 3: build off of by trying young guys that might get
Speaker 3: into their rotation?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: Yes, more Clipper stock next year On NPIP seven ol sports.
Speaker 7: He throws it up.
Speaker 2: The window finishes in the.
Speaker 8: Fowel Los Angeles Slipper Nation. This is your home for
Speaker 8: the LA Clippers. LA Clippers can swin you on the
Speaker 8: Ihearts radio app.
Speaker 3: A lot of crisism on Coach Loose tonight. Not a
Speaker 3: lot of solutions I'm seeing in the chat. Welcome back in.
Speaker 3: This is Clippers Talk. You're on the Empire seven e
Speaker 3: LA Sports and on the YouTube live side at Clippers Talk. So, uh,
Speaker 3: what's the solution because now all of a sudden, everybody's
Speaker 3: going back to well, they need a power forward.
Speaker 4: They need a big man.
Speaker 3: One game, one game where they get trounced on the boards,
Speaker 3: and you guys can't even offer a solution to this.
Speaker 3: That's what amazes me. That's what's funny to me. Well,
Speaker 3: I need a power forward. Well, who who are the
Speaker 3: guys that are just begging to get out of their
Speaker 3: situation and a team willing to let them go for
Speaker 3: not much?
Speaker 4: Not much.
Speaker 3: If you guys say, okay, play Kobe Brown Moore, great,
Speaker 3: you play him at power forward and he can't shoot though,
Speaker 3: You're clogging up the paint massively and it's killing your spacing.
Speaker 3: So you understand, they can't just get any power forward.
Speaker 3: They need someone who can rebound and guard and stretch
Speaker 3: the floor. John Collins's name gets brought up every single
Speaker 3: time we do this. I guess that's an answer who
Speaker 3: the Clippers giving up for John Collins? That the Utah
Speaker 3: Jazz are actually taking One answer offers another question back
Speaker 3: coming at you. I I just don't understand how after
Speaker 3: one game, one game against a very good rebounding team,
Speaker 3: especially in the offensive boards, and you guys pull the
Speaker 3: ripcord and say, oh, we got to blow it up
Speaker 3: new team. Now we got somebody saying batoom is too old.
Speaker 3: He has one bad game, and now it's batoomas too old,
Speaker 3: like literally, but Touma has not had a bad game
Speaker 3: so far this season until tonight.
Speaker 12: I just.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know what people want. Sometimes I think they
Speaker 3: just want to complain because the Clippers are six and six,
Speaker 3: which is probably overachieving. Still there's six and six without Kawhi. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: what's Philly. We're the Philadelphia seventy six ers. I mean,
Speaker 3: how many other teams could you look at? They're now
Speaker 3: two to nine and they've had Paul George back for
Speaker 3: a few games. Like I don't know what to do
Speaker 3: with some of these comments. I'm scratching my head. I
Speaker 3: had to make this account said stop saying we need
Speaker 3: size if there's not realistic options.
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you. It's brutal. It's brutal.
Speaker 3: That the Clippers, yes, lost this game, got destroyed on
Speaker 3: the boards the way they did. But then you can't overreact, guys,
Speaker 3: you just can't. You got to be able to put
Speaker 3: things in perspective just a little bit. The Knicks are
Speaker 3: five and six, it's early in the season. The Clippers
Speaker 3: obviously are still making moves. They just made one in
Speaker 3: this game. You just saw it. This is a great move.
Speaker 3: Terrence Man to the bench, loosened him up. Maybe not
Speaker 3: as much pressure, whatever it was, it worked. It was
Speaker 3: his best game of the season. And Chris Dunn was
Speaker 3: great with the starters. Nothing wrong there. Chris Dunn had
Speaker 3: eleven eight assists, one turnover, five of ten shooting. He
Speaker 3: was awesome with the starters. I brought it up yesterday.
Speaker 3: I thought it could be coming.
Speaker 4: It happened.
Speaker 3: He had a three early, a floater from sixteen feet out,
Speaker 3: a floater when they went ice cold for about two
Speaker 3: minutes and thirty seconds I want to say at layup
Speaker 3: in the third, he had a tough layup going around
Speaker 3: to defender.
Speaker 4: It's just.
Speaker 3: Houston's a good ball club. I don't know if you
Speaker 3: guys knew this. They were seven and four heading into
Speaker 3: this game. They're eight and four.
Speaker 4: Now. I know you're coming from.
Speaker 3: A perspective of the Clippers were supposed.
Speaker 4: To win every game.
Speaker 3: They're six and six, and considering the talent disadvantage they
Speaker 3: often are at without Kawhi, it's just it's hard to
Speaker 3: overcome that. Kawhi cures a lot of what ails them.
Speaker 3: Guys does when you don't have your best player, it's
Speaker 3: tough to win ball games. They're six and six. I
Speaker 3: think coach Lou has done a pretty damn good job.
Speaker 3: Now people are saying, you want John Collins on that contract,
Speaker 3: So some people want them. Some people are pointing to
Speaker 3: the contract the same guy Alfie in here who said
Speaker 3: they have to get a four, but he can't offer
Speaker 3: a solution or a guy that's reasonable and realistic that
Speaker 3: they could get. It's just come on, guys, there aren't
Speaker 3: many teams that are flawless in this league. The Clippers
Speaker 3: have some flaws too, Namely, they're still missing Kawhi. I
Speaker 3: want to get more from La Murray on that because
Speaker 3: I know he talked about Coach Lou with it pregame,
Speaker 3: and I will try to send this to our producer
Speaker 3: Katie Newton in real time here because we had Lot
Speaker 3: Murray on pregame as well. This was at the podium
Speaker 3: with Coach Lou beforehand where he got the update about
Speaker 3: the change to the starting rotation from Coach Lou. Pregame
Speaker 3: Law Murray breaking all sorts of news for the Athletic,
Speaker 3: but then he also got this update from Coach Lou
Speaker 3: and this was about Kawhi Leonard and the most we've
Speaker 3: gotten in some time here, Katie, I think I sent
Speaker 3: that to you and I just send that to myself.
Speaker 4: I did.
Speaker 3: I'm so used to sending files to myself, guys, to
Speaker 3: where then you all download it and then put it
Speaker 3: up on the TikTok at Clippers Talk or on the
Speaker 3: Instagram at Clippers stock file out of May. So I
Speaker 3: forwarded it to you after I sent it to myself here, Katie.
Speaker 3: It's just now somebody's saying John Collins is soft, So
Speaker 3: do we want John Collins or not? Guys, Clipper Nation
Speaker 3: can't agree on this one. I had to make this account,
Speaker 3: said John Collins. Is a lateral move at best. I
Speaker 3: wouldn't start if why comes back, No, I wouldn't. So
Speaker 3: there's it looks like there's no easy solution. The easiest
Speaker 3: solution is get Kawhi back. Unfortunately we don't know when
Speaker 3: that's going to happen. Here was a lot of Murray
Speaker 3: pregame speaking with coach lou about it.
Speaker 7: Where are things at with Kawhi?
Speaker 12: Like, we're in the fourth week of the season, most progressing,
Speaker 12: that's good. Where it's Kawhid, he's progress He's going to
Speaker 12: be out with this next week. Say what's in terms
Speaker 12: of where he's thinking, how he's feeling, Like, how do
Speaker 12: you how would you describe like the next thing that
Speaker 12: is kind of on his mind?
Speaker 7: Sorry's the next step for him. I don't really know
Speaker 7: what he's thinking, you know.
Speaker 13: I always putting to work, you know, every day to
Speaker 13: try to get back as fast as again.
Speaker 4: But you know, mantually what he's thinking, I really don't know,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 7: But he's doing all the right things.
Speaker 13: He's taking all the necessary steps to try to get
Speaker 13: back on the floor.
Speaker 12: I do know that far, Like, do you feel like
Speaker 12: there's a chance this month that you could see him
Speaker 12: even return to practice.
Speaker 7: I'm not assure you.
Speaker 3: So I'm not sure if he will return to practice
Speaker 3: this month. What have I been saying recently? Just let
Speaker 3: me know what he's practicing?
Speaker 4: Like, what are we if he's not practicing? He's not
Speaker 4: playing yet.
Speaker 3: That's how it works, Harold in North Hollywood, Harold, you're
Speaker 3: on clipper stock without a mouslin.
Speaker 2: Hi, Harold, Hey, how are you doing?
Speaker 8: Adham?
Speaker 4: Oh good, Harold? How you been?
Speaker 10: Why did Kawhi even go to the Olympic Games?
Speaker 6: I could not figure healthy.
Speaker 4: He felt healthy at that time.
Speaker 3: Now he's not.
Speaker 10: That's now now, now you know, I like to be
Speaker 10: a little critical. That's bologney.
Speaker 14: He was healthy and they sent him home.
Speaker 10: So his name was not responding and he.
Speaker 6: Or wasn't he healthy?
Speaker 14: Go ahead, go ahead, Adam.
Speaker 4: No, are you saying he was healthy or wasn't healthy?
Speaker 10: At the Olympic Games?
Speaker 14: He was not healthy.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess he tried to give it a go.
Speaker 3: They felt like he wasn't there yet. Coach Lou said
Speaker 3: there was a setback shortly after the Olympics. Tim usa
Speaker 3: Am I just been like, we can't wait to see
Speaker 3: if he's going to end up being healthy enough to
Speaker 3: play throughout this entire stint, And that could have been
Speaker 3: why they sent him home.
Speaker 2: Who knows, well, you know what, coach Loui is a
Speaker 2: great coach.
Speaker 14: He can put right hour back in there. This Unfortunately, Adam,
Speaker 14: this team can't win. I don't even know if they
Speaker 14: can win if and win if he ever does get
Speaker 14: back in the lineup. Kawhi this is like an anchor
Speaker 14: around this organization.
Speaker 10: I hate to say it.
Speaker 14: Kawhi is a great player, but he's not a great player.
Speaker 14: If he's sitting on the bench.
Speaker 3: Well, what is he supposed to do screaming his need
Speaker 3: to be healthy. What can he do other than do
Speaker 3: all the training and work he can to get healthy?
Speaker 6: What do you want?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 14: No, I agree with you, but Bombers stuck with him.
Speaker 14: I think he's more than just his me and you
Speaker 14: know he has a bad knee. That's why they got
Speaker 14: rid of him in San Antonio. Pop knew what he
Speaker 14: was doing. Pop is much better.
Speaker 10: I know he had a miles stroke. I think I
Speaker 10: think the guy's a head case.
Speaker 14: And if you're sitting on the bench, not helping the team.
Speaker 14: How do you think the other players feel when he
Speaker 14: the kind of money he's getting, he's not helping.
Speaker 10: I don't do anything.
Speaker 3: I think the other players understand what it's like to
Speaker 3: be hurt and it sucks, and they can sympathize with that.
Speaker 3: Unlike some fans, I think I think players get it.
Speaker 3: They know Kawhi wants to be out there. Let me
Speaker 3: put it this way. You don't train as hard as
Speaker 3: Kawhi Leonard does. Do all the training he does to
Speaker 3: get to this point. You remember when he first came
Speaker 3: out of San Diego State, he was not an offensive
Speaker 3: player hardly at all. He developed all of this game
Speaker 3: through the hard work. The hard work is the tough part,
Speaker 3: that's the grind, that's the job of it. The fun
Speaker 3: part is actually being able to play in games. If
Speaker 3: he could play in games, he absolutely would. He is
Speaker 3: put in the hard work side. So I don't know
Speaker 3: what you mean exactly by headcase. I don't think anybody's
Speaker 3: saying that.
Speaker 14: Look real quick, Adam. I like why I think he's okay?
Speaker 14: I mean, you know, he's quiet, he's introverted. He gets
Speaker 14: out there and he plays when he can and he's
Speaker 14: probably a good guy. But there's a time when you
Speaker 14: get to say, hey, am I out for the season.
Speaker 10: Or I'm coming back? Or is it next week or
Speaker 10: next month? The fans want to know this.
Speaker 4: Well, here's the problem. Here's the problem.
Speaker 10: See him.
Speaker 3: He can't know when because it depends on how his
Speaker 3: knee responds. He's not going to know until he goes
Speaker 3: through the train to see how his knee feels right.
Speaker 14: How can he predict well, how does his knee feel
Speaker 14: right now?
Speaker 10: What's the latest?
Speaker 3: Well, we just heard from Coach Lou about that. I
Speaker 3: appreciate the phone call, Harold. He's preparing, he's doing everything,
Speaker 3: but Coach Lou does not know if he were turned
Speaker 3: to practic this month. He is progressing. Until he's practicing,
Speaker 3: there's not much to talk about. Honestly, When he's practicing
Speaker 3: and the swelling's not recurring, then you're in a better spot.
Speaker 3: That's when I'll start to feel hopeful that Kawhi Leonard
Speaker 3: is returning. I know it's frustrating. I think it's frustrating
Speaker 3: first and foremost for Kawhi, one of the greatest players
Speaker 3: ever that isn't able to go right now, We'll take
Speaker 3: a quick time out.
Speaker 4: We'll come back.
Speaker 3: We'll get back to your phone calls eight sixty six,
Speaker 3: ninety seven seventy eight sixty sixth ninety seven two five
Speaker 3: seventy we'll talk about what we saw. Well, we see
Speaker 3: more young guys coming up on Friday. I think Coach
Speaker 3: Lous sent the message and I think it will be
Speaker 3: received by the Vets. No rebounds, no rings. I mean,
Speaker 3: you can't even win a regular season game if you
Speaker 3: don't rebound at all and get destroyed to that level
Speaker 3: by the Houston Rockets. So a lot of that was
Speaker 3: effort and we haven't seen that slippage in that area
Speaker 3: until tonight. More Clippers sock next year. On the M
Speaker 3: five seven LA Sports, he throws it up.
Speaker 8: The window finishes in the fowl Los Angeles Slipper Nation.
Speaker 2: This is your home for the LA Clippers. LA Clippers.
Speaker 2: Take us with you on the Ihearts radio app.
Speaker 3: Clippers lose to a team that has more than just
Speaker 3: implications in the standings because okay See has a pickswap
Speaker 3: with either the Clippers or the Houston Rockets after this season.
Speaker 3: They're gonna take whoever has the best pick available. Houston's
Speaker 3: top ten protected the Clippers is not is a big loss,
Speaker 3: but they got to begin On Friday, it's the Emirates Cup,
Speaker 3: the first in season tournament game for the Clippers.
Speaker 4: Let's go to BJ. BJ.
Speaker 3: You're on Clippers South without a Moslin? Is BJ from
Speaker 3: San Diego?
Speaker 4: What's up?
Speaker 10: What's up?
Speaker 3: Adam?
Speaker 12: Was good with your brother?
Speaker 2: You know it?
Speaker 6: The struggle is real, very real.
Speaker 4: This isn't BJ the podcast?
Speaker 2: Or is it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 11: I thought dragging out my boys.
Speaker 4: Do you want to do a promo for the show.
Speaker 4: We're doing it a little bit here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, let's do it all right, BJ.
Speaker 3: From the Pull Up podcast is coming on with me
Speaker 3: for a little Clippers Talk after dark and let's say
Speaker 3: twenty minutes after I'm done here. And I'm done here
Speaker 3: in about eight minutes, so BJA, does that work for you? Yes, sir,
Speaker 3: we got a lot to get into. Anything else you
Speaker 3: want to tease out?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 2: No, I mean I'm letting my else go up. Well,
Speaker 2: I'll see you in twenty minutes.
Speaker 4: Sounds good, my friend. Let's go to Bill and the Ether. Bill,
Speaker 4: what's up? You're on Clippers Talk?
Speaker 10: How you Adam?
Speaker 5: Hi?
Speaker 6: Bill?
Speaker 10: I really enjoy your pet charity on the Rogan Uh
Speaker 10: and Rogan.
Speaker 4: Oh appreciate it.
Speaker 3: They're nice to have me on, So I appreciate those
Speaker 3: guys too.
Speaker 10: And also, why doesn't quite Leonard just retire?
Speaker 3: Because he wants to play basketball and he's one of
Speaker 3: the greatest players ever, and I think he has the
Speaker 3: right to want to come back. He inspires others by
Speaker 3: continuing to fight through these injuries. That has been something
Speaker 3: he has talked about.
Speaker 10: But you know, as a Clippers fan, you know, he
Speaker 10: he's like, you know, he's like, I don't know, man,
Speaker 10: why didn't he just retire? I mean, Bill, excuse me.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's kind of a bad look to
Speaker 3: tell players when they should retire. Don't you think it's
Speaker 3: up to the player when they should determine that for themselves.
Speaker 10: Yeah, but he's he's he's injured everything.
Speaker 3: But he just played sixty eight games last season. Bill,
Speaker 3: He's played sixty eight games and he played at such
Speaker 3: a high level. So you think he's just gonna give
Speaker 3: up because there's another setback with his knee.
Speaker 4: He's not giving up. He's gonna do everything he can
Speaker 4: to get out there on the court.
Speaker 10: So you soon there's a chance.
Speaker 3: Yes, Lloyd Christopher. I'm telling you there's a chance.
Speaker 6: Like one in a million.
Speaker 3: No, I'm not saying it's one in a million. I
Speaker 3: really think Kawhi. I think part of this is also
Speaker 3: they're being overly cautious because they know he hasn't been
Speaker 3: able to finish seasons off, so he hasn't been able
Speaker 3: to finish off a playoff run since twenty twenty. So
Speaker 3: they have a plan they're going through here, but it
Speaker 3: still comes down to how is knee responds with the
Speaker 3: treatment plan, with the conditioning they're doing. Bill, I appreciate
Speaker 3: the phone call Ross and the oc ross. What's up
Speaker 3: here on Clipper Stoff without amazend.
Speaker 11: Hey, I'm good to talk to you.
Speaker 4: What's up to talk to you too? I?
Speaker 11: Well, two things One, patients, patients, patients. We're only thirteen
Speaker 11: twelve games into this season. Why probably won't be back
Speaker 11: till sometime in December or January. But the other thing
Speaker 11: is is Oklahoma has eighteen full roster spots, almost all
Speaker 11: first round draft picks and a couple seconds, and they
Speaker 11: have five first rounds and a second this year. They
Speaker 11: are not going to be able to accommodate all those players.
Speaker 11: They may be a place to look, not to trade with.
Speaker 11: But they're going to have to release a lot of
Speaker 11: players this upcoming year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, or consolidate picks, you know, to move up in
Speaker 3: the draft, defer picks for a later time like they
Speaker 3: have with the Clippers this year in a pick swap situation.
Speaker 3: It's a good point, Ross, But I don't know if
Speaker 3: I don't know if Okac has given a picks back
Speaker 3: to the Clippers anytime soon. And what would you give
Speaker 3: up for those picks? What's the trade?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 11: I wouldn't trade for any of them.
Speaker 10: I would.
Speaker 11: They're gonna have to release players.
Speaker 3: So one thing that they ain't releasing any good players, trust.
Speaker 11: Be all that they released two two first round picks already.
Speaker 11: But Lawrence Frank is the master of finding talent of
Speaker 11: release players.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Uh, they're trying.
Speaker 3: Obviously, they're taking a risk with Kevin Porters Junior bringing
Speaker 3: him in because of the off the court issues. Was
Speaker 3: a year out of basketball and he didn't play much
Speaker 3: in this game. They have had some reclamation projects Kai Jones.
Speaker 3: They are trying to find some diamonds in the rough
Speaker 3: here or some fallen angels, as Lawrence Frank has said.
Speaker 11: That's what I'm talking about. And what one of your
Speaker 11: feelings on the KCP experiment. Did Jordan Miller or Kobe
Speaker 11: Brown play well enough to earn minutes or is it
Speaker 11: still you know KPJ till boom.
Speaker 5: Or bust uh.
Speaker 3: I am a little bit surprised how little Kevin Porter
Speaker 3: Junior played. He took some bad shots, he didn't look great.
Speaker 3: He hasn't looked great. He's been up and down at
Speaker 3: best in these twelve games so far. But six minutes
Speaker 3: is a little bit surprising. I think anytime that there's
Speaker 3: a lack of effort or enough miscues where it looks
Speaker 3: like there's an execution problem out there, coach lou was
Speaker 3: gonna go deep into his bench and say, I'm going
Speaker 3: with the guys who are at least gonna play hard
Speaker 3: for me. And I think that's what we saw at
Speaker 3: the end of this game.
Speaker 10: Yep.
Speaker 3: And I love that mentality ross. I do, because there
Speaker 3: are guys who are hungry who won the opportunity. And
Speaker 3: I felt like Kobe and Jordan Miller both acquitted themselves
Speaker 3: well in this ballgame me too.
Speaker 11: They both looked really good.
Speaker 3: So we'll see if they can build off a bit
Speaker 3: in a game back in Houston on Friday, and we'll
Speaker 3: see what the rotations are gonna be with coach Lou.
Speaker 3: This is very interesting. It feels like everything's back on
Speaker 3: the table now.
Speaker 4: So Ross, I appreciate the phone call, my friend. Maybe
Speaker 4: we'll do it again Friday night.
Speaker 11: Okay, all right, right, see you late at night. Hope
Speaker 11: you do late night tonight.
Speaker 3: Ross, I will be on there Clippers Talk after dark.
Speaker 3: Will leave that with bj from the pull Up podcast.
Speaker 3: Can we hear from Coach Lou post game before we
Speaker 3: get out of here?
Speaker 6: Katie?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 3: Here he was speaking with La Murray of the Athletic.
Speaker 7: In twelve games? What did you would you see that
Speaker 7: made you want to go with that line up to start?
Speaker 7: And what did you see with this game? I've got
Speaker 7: you a good start.
Speaker 15: I mean for me, it was just trying to get
Speaker 15: another ball on the floor Lama, James and Teas trying
Speaker 15: to press him like Brooks, like door like you guys
Speaker 15: are trying to do. And so I thought, like getting
Speaker 15: Katie for like a troop, point guard, a tho with
Speaker 15: help and ext gals, we could start or you can
Speaker 15: kind of see the difference.
Speaker 13: Just to you know, James beat off the ball and
Speaker 13: then you had to catching a loved.
Speaker 7: It was a little better.
Speaker 13: So that was my thought process going into the and
Speaker 13: then moved to the bench.
Speaker 15: You know their a bitch came in.
Speaker 13: I thought they were physical. I thought they had out
Speaker 13: the transition of any guy of basketball.
Speaker 7: And Townson just came in there.
Speaker 4: Told me, just checked the change the game for them.
Speaker 7: You got him man and a Tario Easton both had
Speaker 7: the double do's off the bench.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 12: We made said before the game he wanted to play faster.
Speaker 12: That didn't really happen with the starting group. It did
Speaker 12: happened with the second group. Like how can the You
Speaker 12: got to see these guys again, like how can you
Speaker 12: combat that athleticism not just in the transition game, in
Speaker 12: fast break, but on the glass as well, cause they
Speaker 12: had a seventeen o second chance point a match going
Speaker 12: in that fourth quarter.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think you know, some of our shots selections
Speaker 15: when we got into the paint.
Speaker 13: Like they were you know what I mean, they were
Speaker 13: being at the rim and we kind of do some
Speaker 13: shots up miss LAYB and we missed. Thing was out
Speaker 13: of transition indicating getting back to get messed up and
Speaker 13: you know, we did a good job to nine front turnovers,
Speaker 13: but then you know they end up having you know,
Speaker 13: eighteen offense rebounds.
Speaker 5: You know, so just you know, like I said, they.
Speaker 4: Had a good game plan.
Speaker 6: They played well.
Speaker 13: I thought our young guys came in, you know, down
Speaker 13: to stretch.
Speaker 7: Why played well.
Speaker 6: So that was good to see.
Speaker 13: But you know, we'll be better how whatever is, but
Speaker 13: we'll be We'll be better than two days, you know.
Speaker 13: So I guys just got to see see the Blue
Speaker 13: bend and how they try to play us and what
Speaker 13: they were.
Speaker 6: Trying to do.
Speaker 3: There was coach Lupost game saying they will be better
Speaker 3: in two days. We're interested to see that. Clippers score
Speaker 3: just one hundred and three points in this game after
Speaker 3: a hot start up by eleven in the first quarter.
Speaker 3: Tied by the end of the first quarter, Houston made
Speaker 3: another run, a seventeen to two run from the end
Speaker 3: of the third into the fourth. Coach tried to find
Speaker 3: some guys that were gonna spark them.
Speaker 6: He did.
Speaker 3: They just came up short late, young guys got to
Speaker 3: within four. They lose one eleven to one oh three
Speaker 3: in Houston. They run it back in an n season
