00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans? Welcome to a quick

2
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,920
post game hangover here at YouTube dot com Slash at

3
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,079
Clippers podcast. The Clippers lose yet another close game in Minnesota.

4
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,760
I'm getting tired of this result. If I'm being perfectly

5
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:35,079
honest with everyone here, I'm tired of losing close ones

6
00:00:35,119 --> 00:00:37,439
of Minnesota. The Clippers were up nineteen at one point

7
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:43,039
in this one, then the Wolves figured it out offensively.

8
00:00:43,119 --> 00:00:45,479
The starts to the third and the fourth quarter were

9
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:52,439
really bad for the Clippers. We just saw they lost

10
00:00:52,439 --> 00:00:55,799
three point shooters just in the corner. They lost them

11
00:00:55,799 --> 00:00:59,840
at the top of the perimeter. They just it was.

12
00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:04,560
It was tough, right and the ugh the end to

13
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,959
the second quarter was very difficult. Kawhi looked like he

14
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,000
was moving well. We'll talk about that, I'm sure, but

15
00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:18,200
damn the Clippers. The Wolves looked defeated in the first

16
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:20,680
half of this one. The Clippers were moving quicker, they

17
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,319
had a better sense of urgency. The defense was flummoxing

18
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,040
the Wolves for the most part, and then the lead

19
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:33,319
got down to twelve and it just kind of fell apart.

20
00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:36,959
After that. The Clippers were up at half, but they

21
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,239
were turning the ball over on the second quarter. They

22
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:46,920
lost Timberwolves out on the perimeter. It's frustrating, true MVP

23
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:49,280
saying not even mad at that we fought hard and

24
00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:52,040
still did this without Kawhi. I'm mad at it. They

25
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,879
were up nineteen. There were some dumb mistakes. They should

26
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,280
have won this game. I'll say it. We'll talk about

27
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,400
how Kui looked, which was good, but the Clippers should

28
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,040
have won this game. It's incredibly frustrating to see the

29
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,159
Clippers lose this game. I mentioned off top a little

30
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:12,759
bit about the third and the fourth quarters. The Clippers

31
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:14,919
through the first half of the third quarter were two

32
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,639
for nine from the floor, and they started the fourth

33
00:02:18,719 --> 00:02:24,560
quarter oh for eleven, So it didn't feel the starts

34
00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:27,960
of those quarters was really difficult to overcome. Yes, Anthony

35
00:02:28,039 --> 00:02:31,800
Edwards hit some insane threes late in this game. Nas

36
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,719
Reed hit a couple threes, but those are things that

37
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,199
I guess are easier to live with. I mean, they're

38
00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:44,520
still frustrating, obviously, but these starts offensive to the third

39
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,680
and fourth quarter were so bad. Hard and basically was

40
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,439
the offense in the third quarter. I'm gonna look up

41
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,759
the shot charts here, but uh, hard and basically, like

42
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,560
was the third quarter for the Clippers. We needed it.

43
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:06,520
Not the best shooting night from three for the Clippers.

44
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:12,599
They I mean, yeah, I don't know. This one's frustrating.

45
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,719
Early on, you saw the offensive rebounds early on were

46
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,439
kind of the only thing that was a blemish on

47
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,800
the Clippers when even when they were of nineteen, like, hey,

48
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,639
everything's looking pretty good except for the offensive rebounds. The

49
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,800
offensive rebounds kind of came back to bite them in

50
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:32,000
the ass. They give up seventeen offensive rebounds. Edwards had

51
00:03:32,039 --> 00:03:35,759
almost forty, but those offensive boards are tough to see.

52
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,199
They got a lot of help from their bench. Mike Conley,

53
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,639
of course, decided to hit two threes because that's what

54
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:47,800
happens when he plays the Clippers. Yeah. So there were

55
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,599
a bunch of people on Clippers Twitter also talking about

56
00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:54,560
wondering why Chris Dunn wasn't in the game down the

57
00:03:54,639 --> 00:04:00,560
stretch he had done. Also ended up kind of taking

58
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:04,719
a bit of a knock late in this one. It's

59
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,039
kind of working out his shoulder on this island, so

60
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:10,199
we hope he's okay. It was odd. I thought that

61
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,680
there there could have been a time for for Chris

62
00:04:13,759 --> 00:04:19,079
Dunn to come in. I think it was uh Brandon

63
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,600
Marcus Yes, who tweeted there was a there's a chance

64
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:25,480
when Norm Powell was taking free throws that that Done

65
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,439
could have come in for KPJ. But he just didn't.

66
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,199
So it was weird. But it's hard with Done right

67
00:04:32,319 --> 00:04:36,639
like we we we needed points and he's he can't,

68
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,800
he cannot shoot right now. Angel Garcia, you are not wrong.

69
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,279
Done can't shoot right now for a minute now. And

70
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,439
it helped the Wolves go on a run a little bit.

71
00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:52,439
It wasn't entirely his fault, but that's also partly probably

72
00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:55,040
why he wasn't in Lake because we needed points. I

73
00:04:55,079 --> 00:04:58,800
don't know, I'm just speculating kind of the one of

74
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:05,319
the few games where ties rotations were a little odd

75
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:11,399
down the stretch. Has it happened a lot? But uh,

76
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:17,160
I don't know. I'm frustrated as hell at the Rudy

77
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:23,079
should have probably had a play reviewed. I don't know

78
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:25,439
this one is. I don't know why it is so

79
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,240
hard for the Clippers to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves. I

80
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,800
have no ill will towards the Timberwolves. They're not the MAVs,

81
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,199
but we just have trouble with our size. We saw

82
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,720
it early, not even early because we were at my teen.

83
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:47,319
We saw it later. Just difficult, just very frustrating. I

84
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:54,800
don't know. Terrence Man ten minutes not incredibly effective. What's

85
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,720
funny is up until the late decision making, I thought

86
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:01,120
KPJ had a good game. He was before he had

87
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,240
any points. KPJ had a bunch of assists and that

88
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:09,839
was fine. People asking where was Terrence Man. So, yeah,

89
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,560
Terrence Man just under ten minutes, he was plus six,

90
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,439
wasn't doing a whole lot. He took his he took

91
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,399
the threes that they were giving him. He only made one.

92
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,959
I think he's just still working it out. I think

93
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,399
he's still working it out. I will say I have

94
00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:29,199
not been the biggest KPJ fan. I do not think

95
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:33,319
he cost us the game tonight. KPJ did not cost

96
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,639
the Clippers tonight. Sure there were some bad decisions, but

97
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:39,680
it's not he didn't. If you watch this game the

98
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,480
whole way, the starts to the third and the fourth

99
00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:43,839
were really tough. The Clippers had chances to really put

100
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:52,000
this one away. I'm not putting this one on KPJ. Yeah,

101
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,199
I think it's just frustrating because so I want to

102
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,639
talk about Kawhi's minutes because if you're unfamiliar, Kawhi is

103
00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:02,839
playing twenty minutes a game. He's not going to be

104
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:05,839
closing games. That That's just how it is. Tyleru laid

105
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,319
it out in the pregame today. You know, tis Kawhi

106
00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:13,160
is gonna get his twenty minutes. He was at sixteen

107
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:17,439
minutes at half. He got you know, his the last

108
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,519
five minutes. I guess he ended up playing you know,

109
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,480
twenty forty one in this one. He got his last

110
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,920
five minutes and then he was done. So to me,

111
00:07:27,639 --> 00:07:32,199
that does make things hard rhythm wise for the team.

112
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,240
It's not crazy to say that. I don't think it's

113
00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:37,879
you have to do this to bring Kawhi back. Does

114
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:44,920
make the rhythm a little bit harder. He looked movement

115
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,519
wise in this game. Kawhi moved more on the first

116
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:54,399
possession offensively of this game than he did in the

117
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,360
entirety of the game on on Saturday, which was awesome.

118
00:07:59,519 --> 00:08:01,839
He looked more assertive. He dribbled the ball a lot

119
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,639
more in this one. Great to see not exact, no,

120
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,519
not driving yet. Kawhi is not really driving the ball yet.

121
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,639
He's shooting the hell out of the ball from three.

122
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:16,800
He hit two tonight of his five. Defensive instinct is

123
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,000
still there. It's nice to see him moving really well,

124
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,519
so that's great. The minutes' restriction thing is just something

125
00:08:23,519 --> 00:08:25,720
we have to deal with, and I think that's why

126
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:29,399
tonight's loss makes me more as more frustrated, because it's like, shit,

127
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,720
when you have a nineteen point lead and Kawhi is

128
00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:36,320
not going to play in the final stretch, you gotta

129
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,679
win those games with how tight the standings are. That's

130
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,080
what makes me so just kind of feeling irked by it.

131
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,080
Joe Deff, You're absolutely right. He's still getting his legs

132
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,519
and the legs looked better tonight. If you watch this game,

133
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,000
you saw Kawhi. He was moving around so much more

134
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,320
than on Saturday, which is a great sign, especially after

135
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,639
the travel. We can definitely feel good about that. But yeah,

136
00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:02,039
the mid game, he's still getting the legs back. He

137
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,039
tried a little reverse layup. I think that was his

138
00:09:04,159 --> 00:09:07,120
last shot attempt or maybe second to last. Not a

139
00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:09,320
lot of lyft on it, but this is where we are.

140
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,679
Game two, he looked better than game one for his return,

141
00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:17,080
so I think we can we can be happy about that.

142
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:19,960
For sure. Someone was giving zu Bots a shout out.

143
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,919
Zoo's effort in the fourth Zoo and Amir's coffee effort

144
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,200
in the fourth quarter was phenomenal in this one. Zuo

145
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,960
came up super clutch with a block. Dereck Johnes Junior

146
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,240
finished it at the other end. It was really good

147
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,399
to see. And you know, they started, oh for eleven

148
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,519
in the fourth which is so bad. They were able

149
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,159
to power through that. Part of that was just kind

150
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,159
of the fourth quarter effort from from Zoo on defense.

151
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,000
The offense was kind of broken in this one the

152
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,440
whole game, I guess if that makes sense. I'm waiting

153
00:09:56,519 --> 00:10:01,480
for the game charts to be updated. But the third

154
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,600
quarter it was just it was busted. The Clipper shot

155
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:10,480
forty percent in the third quarter. They took twenty shots. Yeah,

156
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:18,120
it was just a weird game offensively. Yeah, I don't know.

157
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,039
It's just kind of where we're at like this. We're

158
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,080
in this weird, kind of nebulous point with the Clippers

159
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,480
right where Kawhi is not going to finish games. So

160
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,399
you have to hope that kind of everyone's rhythm is

161
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:31,039
still going late in the game, and some guys rhythm

162
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,960
was going late in the game. Some guys, rhythm wasn't

163
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,600
going late in the game. KPg got the and one

164
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:43,200
that made this one really interesting from the line, it's

165
00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:47,000
I understand there's questions about Joshua in the chat. I'm

166
00:10:47,039 --> 00:10:49,840
assuming this comment says, why wouldn't he close? That makes

167
00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:55,039
no sense. What's the damn point He's not closing because

168
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,039
because ty, it's just twenty minutes, that's what we're getting.

169
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,600
It's his preseason. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing. I'm just

170
00:11:01,639 --> 00:11:06,200
giving the information. It's his preseason. He's playing his twenty minutes.

171
00:11:06,519 --> 00:11:09,320
That's where we're at, and we kind of have to

172
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,879
deal with it. Games like this show why that can

173
00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:15,919
be frustrating. Games like Saturday where it means absolutely nothing,

174
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,600
who cares. Games like this can show why it's frustrating. So, Joshua,

175
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,639
I do understand some of the the frustration on your

176
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:33,480
part there. It's yeah, I don't know. It's a frustrating

177
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,559
team that we always seem to lose too for some reason.

178
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,840
Joe Ingles got time late, which felt like a slap

179
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,080
in the face. I know it's not, but it felt

180
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:45,039
like one. Yeah, nineteen point lead you start the third

181
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,279
quarter two for nine, you start the fourth quarter oh

182
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,919
for eleven. It's just hard to overcome that. And I

183
00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:55,159
know I love Chris Dunn's defense, I absolutely do. It's fantastic.

184
00:11:55,279 --> 00:12:01,000
But teams don't care if he shoots at all. And

185
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,639
if you're just a box score person, which I'm not

186
00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:06,600
pro against. If you're just a box score person, you

187
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,919
look at Chris Dunn's box score, that is a box

188
00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:12,919
score that opponents really like. He was one for five.

189
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,360
Four of his shots were from three. That's what opponents want.

190
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,120
They want Chris Dunn to be taking as many threes

191
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,840
as possible because he will probably miss them. The defense

192
00:12:23,919 --> 00:12:27,200
is phenomenal. I'm not saying anything like that, but teams

193
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,919
are funneling the ball towards Chris Dunn. Our compatriots over

194
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,679
at the Law of the Jam the Pod talked about it.

195
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,519
That's just what it is. It's tough when he's in

196
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,720
the starting lineup. That is something that other teams have

197
00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:46,240
focused on. This was another Chris Dunn's starting game. If

198
00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:50,799
you're unfamiliar with the current system of the Clippers, it's

199
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,039
gonna be kind of a swat between Chris Dunn and

200
00:12:53,159 --> 00:12:56,120
Derek Jones junior and the starting lineup. Minnesota is a

201
00:12:56,159 --> 00:12:59,919
team that really pressures James Harden, so we needed someone

202
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:03,360
to be that help with distribution. That is why Chris

203
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,960
Done started. Thank you everyone for hanging out. This is

204
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,720
just a quick little postgame recap. I'm upset. I'm gonna

205
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,799
get a burrito in a few minutes. If you want

206
00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:13,759
to listen to us, it's using myself, Adam Moles, and

207
00:13:13,799 --> 00:13:16,559
Will Updike here at Clips and Dip. You can find

208
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,799
all our old episodes here on YouTube. I'm gonna put

209
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:20,679
this one out as audio two, so if you missed it,

210
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:27,200
you can listen to my quiet rage TD asking Chuck

211
00:13:27,279 --> 00:13:29,799
do the Clips need to get a backup point guard

212
00:13:29,919 --> 00:13:32,720
and backup Big at the trade deadline. I'd put backup

213
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,480
Big over backup point guard if I'm being honest, because

214
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,559
Kai Jones and Mobamba are unplayable. They are not good

215
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,679
at basketball for what the Clippers need right now. I

216
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,559
don't know what backup point guard you get. I don't

217
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,679
know who look like. I just don't like. I know

218
00:13:48,759 --> 00:13:51,080
everyone wants to do the What if we just traded

219
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,200
our bad players who aren't playing for a really good

220
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,279
backup point guard. It doesn't work. I wish it did

221
00:13:56,279 --> 00:13:59,639
work that way, all right. The burrito alarm went off

222
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:03,519
for head out in like ten. Thank you, shar gets it.

223
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:09,200
Therapy Breedo very much so. Coffee makes winning plays should

224
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,399
have been in there at the end. Coffee was really

225
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,240
good for the most part tonight. He was good late.

226
00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:17,159
The hustle was there. He had four offensive rebounds, which

227
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,879
is insane and much needed against a gigantic mini team.

228
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,480
But I think the offense was just a little inconsistent

229
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:33,320
for what Tyler wanted. JHC. This is very funny. Rudy

230
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,159
Gobert is probably my least favorite player, so I really

231
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,399
wanted to win. Fair, absolutely fair. I don't get how

232
00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:41,120
he's so bad at offense so close to the rim.

233
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,039
He's eight feet tall. This is such a This is

234
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,480
a frustrating loss. I know Kawhi is coming back. Whatever.

235
00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:49,240
We had a nineteen point lead in this game. It

236
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,320
was just, Uh James Harden did not shoot very well.

237
00:14:53,399 --> 00:15:00,519
We absolutely needed him in the third. We needed him,

238
00:15:00,679 --> 00:15:03,519
but the defense, it wasn't one of the better UH

239
00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:09,279
James Harden defensive games tonight. We were just like when

240
00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:12,559
the Clippers lead started to slip. We were just sending

241
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,080
doubles at guys, and we were sending doubles at the Timberwolves,

242
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,600
and then a guy would just be hanging out in

243
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,639
the corner and they would make the corner three. The

244
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,919
Wolves made a bunch of tough threes late in this game,

245
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,840
but they were given a bunch of easy ones earlier,

246
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,960
which I was particularly frustrated about. I think that was

247
00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:33,120
kind of one of the more frustrating parts of this game.

248
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,960
That and I don't know, there's a lot of this.

249
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,440
It's just weird playing Minnesota. Terrence Man only gets ten minutes,

250
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,600
but Toom had a bit of a rough game. If

251
00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:49,360
I'm being I love Nico, but he just the whistle's

252
00:15:49,399 --> 00:15:51,559
been weird with Nico. He picked up two fouls really fast.

253
00:15:51,559 --> 00:15:56,720
He doesn't even crack fourteen minutes. It was tough man.

254
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,840
Shout out to Zoo seventeen to six team. Yet again,

255
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:08,159
Derek jos Junior was efficient. I mean, I don't know,

256
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,240
just tough. I want to get that we need to

257
00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:15,000
get these wins. So the other part about the Kawhi

258
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,279
kind of twenty minute thing is we still need to

259
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,080
stack wins. We need to stack wins just as much

260
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,200
as we did when he was out, because he's not

261
00:16:22,279 --> 00:16:26,440
going to be playing right now. In these final stretches

262
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:34,200
of games, it was just it was weird the guys

263
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,480
were getting lost on defense. Matthew Gillespie, You're absolutely right.

264
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,120
I don't know if the standings of been updated live yet,

265
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,480
but it just it just makes them it's just tighter.

266
00:16:48,519 --> 00:16:53,600
Seeds four through eight are separated by three and a

267
00:16:53,639 --> 00:16:57,399
half games. We need these wins. I know it's Kawhi's preseason.

268
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,399
We need these wins. And when you're up nineteen, I

269
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,639
know it's the new NBA, but this is a team

270
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,759
that the defensive identity got a little messy tonight and

271
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:15,000
late it was just it was just difficult. Yeah, I

272
00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:19,039
don't know people are saying. Some people are like, hey,

273
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,839
it's no big deal, we played them close. I want

274
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,359
to beat Minnesota selfishly, I want to beat Minnesota, and

275
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:30,400
we need to beat Minnesota. Unclear on when the Kui

276
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,319
minutes restriction is gonna be lifted. I don't know if

277
00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:35,200
it's gonna be anytime soon. It might be moved around

278
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:42,200
a little bit. Yeah, the Clippers are not very good

279
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:47,119
against the West right now. It's very it's not ideal.

280
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,599
I don't know if there's gonna be some postgame quotes

281
00:17:51,799 --> 00:17:55,599
coming out soon. Go follow the beat writers. They will

282
00:17:55,599 --> 00:17:57,559
have you covered. I was just a little upset, wanted

283
00:17:57,559 --> 00:18:00,200
to let off some steam. Hope everyone has a good

284
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,960
rest of your night. Here's to the Clippers winning in Denver.

285
