1 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans, Welcome to basically a 2 00:00:16,679 --> 00:00:20,960 post game hang The Clippers are up fifty on the 3 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,839 Brooklyn Nets with with the fourth quarter to play, and 4 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,480 I don't want to stay up and watch the end 5 00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:33,200 of this game, particularly, so we're gonna hang out and 6 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,679 talk about Kawhi Leonard looking good. There was a new 7 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,520 not a dude starting lineup. I guess it kind of 8 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:45,119 wasn't starting lineup. Derek Jodge Junior started this one as 9 00:00:45,119 --> 00:00:48,840 opposed to Chris Dunn. But there actually is something to 10 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,240 take away from this game. If you're new to this. 11 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,560 I am Chuck Mochaley usually joined by Adam Oslin and 12 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,079 Will Updyke. I know it says postgame on the title 13 00:01:01,119 --> 00:01:03,039 of this but the Clippers are up fifty with twelve 14 00:01:03,119 --> 00:01:09,239 minutes left. The Nets look so bad. This is the 15 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,480 most the Clippers have ever been up through three quarters. 16 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:22,519 It's insane. I know the game is not over. I 17 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,040 am ending the day early. The Clippers are up fifty points. 18 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,359 I believe it was Mobamba just through an alley oop 19 00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:34,480 to Kai Jones. That's where we're at. But there are 20 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,920 things that take away from this game. Because call me crazy, 21 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,680 I think Kawhi Leonards night is done. The Clippers are 22 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:49,840 up fifty Acelan saying this will age well when we 23 00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:52,480 blow the fifty one point lead. I hope, I hope 24 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,120 if that were to happen, you can blame me. I will. 25 00:01:57,239 --> 00:01:59,079 I will put that out there right now, that if 26 00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:01,319 the Clippers blow a fIF f one point lead, you 27 00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:08,599 can blame Chuck Buckler. That's fair. It's completely fair if 28 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,639 that happens. There were some good things to take away though. 29 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,199 Like I said, Kawhi Leonard looked phenomenal in this game 30 00:02:18,719 --> 00:02:22,479 relative to everything we've seen up to this point. He 31 00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:29,759 hit two jumpers to start. He was decisive, he was stopping, 32 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,599 he was starting on offense. He was getting double teamed. 33 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,560 Teams still have to respect that he was getting to 34 00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:40,560 the line. That's just the offensive side of the ball. 35 00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:43,759 He looked really good bringing the ball up. We saw 36 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,800 Kawhi Leonard bring the ball up a lot more tonight 37 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,560 than he had so far in his return. I think 38 00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:54,960 that was twofold a to help him get to kind 39 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,240 of Kawhi speed him bringing the ball up. I don't 40 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:03,879 think it's crazy that there's a correlation. Oh, I don't 41 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,319 think it's crazy to think there's a correlation between Kawhi 42 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,960 Leonard bringing the ball up more and him being able 43 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,319 to get into a rhythm. So that was cool to see. 44 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,360 And Kawhi Leonard bringing the ball up since Derek Jones 45 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,400 Junior was in the lineup to start this game as 46 00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:20,599 opposed to Chris Dunn. It's just what we're gonna see 47 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,680 more of going forward, once Kawi gets back to his 48 00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:29,719 usual minutes load. Adam Oslin tweeted this, and he's absolutely right. 49 00:03:29,759 --> 00:03:33,159 Once Kawi gets back to his usual minutes load, he 50 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,080 will help take the pressure off of James Harden with 51 00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:38,680 ball handling because if Kawhi is bringing the ball up 52 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,680 and James Harden's on the floor, he can't double off 53 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,960 of James Harden or Norm or Derrek Jones Junior because 54 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,840 he'll just cut. So that was really good to see. 55 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,240 Kawi just looked great offensively. It was really good to 56 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,400 see Mikey Ramirez making a great point. The Clippers who 57 00:03:56,439 --> 00:03:59,400 have not won the game yet. I don't want they 58 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,280 have not won the game yet. They are, however, up 59 00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:05,159 one hundred and six to fifty three. One hundred and 60 00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:09,039 six to fifty three. A crazy schedule coming up, so 61 00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:11,159 taking care of business like this against the sub five 62 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,120 hundred team needs to happen more. It was great to 63 00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:17,480 see tonight. The Clippers have to travel and then play 64 00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:22,839 in Portland on Thursday, which is bullshit. I don't like that, 65 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,480 but hey, winning by fifty that helps. But the important 66 00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:31,199 thing to take away from this game is that Kawhi 67 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,519 got his rhythm well when he brought the ball up. 68 00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:39,240 When James Harden is on the court and Kawhi is 69 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,680 bringing the ball up, it's it's good for it's good 70 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,360 things will happen for the Clippers. So that's awesome to see. 71 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,120 We are going to have to see what it looks 72 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,120 like when Kawhi is bringing the ball up on the court, 73 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,920 when James Harden is off the court and not in 74 00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:55,600 the lineup. We did see a small ball lineup tonight. 75 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,519 That was Chris Dunn, Terrence Man, Amir Kawhi, and Batoom. 76 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,240 They were kind of the spark a little bit in 77 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,480 this game. The Clippers were tied at twenty one after 78 00:05:08,519 --> 00:05:13,279 the first quarter in this game, which I think is 79 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:22,000 mind blowing. They were even in the first quarter after 80 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,839 the first quarter of this game, and then the Clippers 81 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,160 just played really good defense and the Nets didn't score 82 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:34,480 for like six minutes. Terrence Man did not finish this 83 00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:38,360 game dause some calf soreness, which is really the only 84 00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:45,160 downside of this game. The only bad thing to happen 85 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,040 to come out of this is the fact that that 86 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,319 Terrence Man now has a calf issue, which sucks for 87 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,519 those of you just joining the stream. I am aware 88 00:05:53,600 --> 00:06:00,360 that it says postgame stream, but the Clippers again, just 89 00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:02,560 to reiterate where we're at, the Clippers and the Nets 90 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,879 were tied at twenty one after the first quarter, and 91 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,959 now the Clippers are up fifty five points with nine 92 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,160 minutes left in the fourth. I don't know, a wonderful 93 00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:15,600 night for the Clippers overall, especially with the brutal schedule 94 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,680 coming up with the reschedules after all the fires. Hope 95 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,399 everyone's doing okay. I hope everyone's safe. If you're listening 96 00:06:22,439 --> 00:06:24,360 to this later on the audio, hope you're doing well. 97 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,680 I'm Chuck Mockler. Thanks for hanging out. We're gonna be 98 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,160 talking for about ten to fifteen more minutes. Put your 99 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,600 questions in the chat. If you're listening to this and 100 00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:36,480 you ever want to hang out on video go to 101 00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:42,680 YouTube dot com such at Clippers podcast. Kawhi was phenomenal tonight. 102 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,600 He shot seventy percent. He had the most points for 103 00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:49,920 the Clippers. He also played well on defense. The first 104 00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:53,000 possession of this game, you saw Kawhi Leonard have active 105 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,240 hands and he caused a turnover for the Nets. And 106 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,079 the first quarter was bad for the Clippers again. They 107 00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:01,519 were tied at twenty one, and then the Nets did 108 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,560 what they had been doing for a good stretch up 109 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,000 before this game. The Clippers offense just also shot up 110 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,000 like a rocket. But Kawhi set the tone defensively. I 111 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,839 thought really well in this game to open it. He 112 00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:20,040 was not afraid to try and get steals. We've seen that. 113 00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:22,759 You know that's been a thing in his return is 114 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,360 the aggression on defense has still been there. It was 115 00:07:25,399 --> 00:07:27,199 there tonight. It was great to see. And the aggression 116 00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:30,879 on offense was higher than we'd seen it at any 117 00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:33,439 point in time in his return, which makes sense he's 118 00:07:33,439 --> 00:07:36,920 still getting back to it. But he was hitting every 119 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,879 He just didn't dunk. We didn't get a dunk from 120 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:44,199 him tonight, but we got pretty much everything else. Yeah, 121 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,360 we saw some a small ball lineup that was real 122 00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:50,680 that I think people are going to really like obviously 123 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:57,600 is Norm Terrence Emir Kawhi in Batoum. The idea of 124 00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:01,319 that lineup is really really nice, and I think most 125 00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:07,240 Clippers fans would agree with me on that one. Oh yes, 126 00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:09,240 this is a great point, Mikey Ramirez, thank you for 127 00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:11,920 bringing this up. He said, seems like coach lew is 128 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,480 having players out to tinker with lineups or something wrong 129 00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:20,800 or is something wrong with KPJ. No, So, uh, Tyler 130 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,600 kind of said that pregame tonight that you know, Terrence 131 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,360 didn't played last game because ty just wanted to see something. 132 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,240 That's what's happening tonight with KPJ. So KPJ was out, 133 00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:35,399 so Ty could, I'm assuming, based on what he's kind 134 00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:37,879 of alluded to, see what the bench unit looks like 135 00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:41,840 with Terrence and Chris Dunn being the primary secondary ball 136 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,120 handlers whatever you want to call it, versus what KPJ 137 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:51,399 and Chris Dunn looked like. Terrence Man also unfortunately suffered 138 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,080 a calf injury. He was out. He was ruled out 139 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,799 like around a half at this game, which sucks. But yeah, 140 00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:03,440 lu is tinkering with the bench lineup. He's tinkering with 141 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,360 the starting lineup, though, I think as Kawhi's minutes goes up, 142 00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:09,759 and I'm sure I know Adam Osen feels the same 143 00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:13,720 way too. No word on Will, but I'm assuming he 144 00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:15,559 does too. We're kind of a we're a united front 145 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,200 over here on clips and Dip. The higher kawis minutes goes, 146 00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:23,360 the more we're gonna see Derek Jones Junior starting because Kawhi. 147 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:28,480 It's just I just think that's gonna happen. Renzo the 148 00:09:28,519 --> 00:09:31,320 old head. Hope you're doing well, Renzo said, Pale having 149 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,600 his best season, meanwhile PG having one of his worst. 150 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,240 Love to see it. There is some Shoden freud happening 151 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,919 right now. I cannot deny that. Clippers fans told Sixers 152 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,159 fans what was going to happen, and it's it's happened. 153 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,519 So here we are. Uh. If you're just joining the 154 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,559 stream and you're wondering why it says post game despite 155 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,279 the game not being over, that is because the Clippers 156 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:58,200 are up so many points. It's one hundred and sixteen 157 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:03,919 to fifty five. I don't really know what's happening right now, 158 00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:12,639 if that makes sense. This is uh, this is incredible. 159 00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:22,840 How are they up this much? They're up sixty one points. 160 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,879 See someone said I was going to jinx the team 161 00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:29,120 for having a postgame stream when they were only up fifty, 162 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,960 And look at them now, a sixty one point lead. 163 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,159 I took them minus sixty five, so I actually I 164 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:42,080 need I really need this. They actually might do it. 165 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:53,960 I cannot believe this. This is absolutely insane. There's never 166 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,480 I'm I'm in disbelief at this game. Talk about a 167 00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:04,120 get right game for the Clippers. I don't know. I 168 00:11:04,159 --> 00:11:06,919 don't really have a whole much left to say. I 169 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,159 guess because the Clippers are up sixty one and Kawhi 170 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,440 Leonard looked great. Those were the biggest takeaways if you 171 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,799 were to take anything away from this game, because I 172 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,720 know everyone's going to want to talk to their coworkers 173 00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:21,519 about it tomorrow. Yes, Chris Gie, this is the pre 174 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,720 post game I've been on for eleven minutes, and the 175 00:11:23,759 --> 00:11:31,679 Clippers extended their lead by like twelve points. At least 176 00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:33,559 no one was in the stands when the Clippers were 177 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:40,559 down by fifty. Go Lee. This is horrible, But there 178 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,639 were things that take away. Kawhi Leonard looked great on 179 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,519 both ends. He had his best plus minus of his career. 180 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:52,360 I believe tonight it was plus forty six. Zoo was 181 00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:56,440 plus forty eight, Norm plus forty seven. The starters did 182 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,080 their jobs, but Kawhi looked great on both ends of 183 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,440 the floor. We saw a lineup that people are gonna 184 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,039 be really excited about, I think, which is Norm man 185 00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:10,360 A mere Kawai Batom. I'm sure at some point we're 186 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,519 gonna see hardened Norm a mirror Kawhi. Excuse me, hardened 187 00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:21,080 Norm Kawhi. Uh but tom uh in a mirror like that. 188 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:26,600 That's gonna happen, which will be fun. I mean, I 189 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,360 don't know what the main takeaways. The only tangible takeaways 190 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,879 are that Kawhi Leonard's ramping up very well. Lot Murray 191 00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:38,240 thinks he's going to be out of the restrictions around February, 192 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,159 which I think is totally that makes sense. He looked 193 00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:44,919 phenomenal tonight, so that's good. The Clippers have to travel 194 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,080 tomorrow and play a game in Portland, so getting this 195 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,519 win tonight is great. And the way they got it, like, 196 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,320 I don't know, this is crazy. Yeah. So Done and 197 00:12:57,399 --> 00:12:59,679 Derek Jones Junior have not been good at shooting threes lately, 198 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,559 it's been pretty painful. We hope it comes back to normal. 199 00:13:04,879 --> 00:13:07,440 I don't know they'll get more open shots with Kwhi 200 00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:11,600 bean back. Yeah again, the Clippers were tied at twenty one, 201 00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:16,840 they end up destroying the Nets. I'm gonna head out. 202 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,919 I hope everyone has a great rest of your night. 203 00:13:18,919 --> 00:13:20,799 Thanks for hanging out. Subscribe if you want. We're gonna 204 00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:23,879 have a full episode for y'all on Friday to preview 205 00:13:23,879 --> 00:13:26,639 the Clippers game versus the Lakers that's on Sunday. That's 206 00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:32,240 a huge one for the standings. I just I don't 207 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,519 know what else to say about the team performance tonight. 208 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,919 I can't believe that the Clippers were tied at twenty 209 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:44,600 one and they were at sixty at one point. It 210 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,039 just kind of blows my mind. But Kawhi Leonard looked good. 211 00:13:47,639 --> 00:13:49,039 He's getting back where he needs to be, and the 212 00:13:49,039 --> 00:13:51,519 Clippers are gonna be a big issue. I hope Terrence 213 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,240 Man can come back at some point in this craziness. 214 00:13:54,879 --> 00:13:57,240 I've been Chuck Mockler. Thank you for hanging out. If 215 00:13:57,279 --> 00:14:02,639 you know any Nets fans, I don't know Evenmo m 216 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,440 a couple bucks. Stay safe, everybody, and as always
