Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans, Welcome to basically a
post game hang The Clippers are up fifty on the
Brooklyn Nets with with the fourth quarter to play, and
I don't want to stay up and watch the end
of this game, particularly, so we're gonna hang out and
talk about Kawhi Leonard looking good. There was a new
not a dude starting lineup. I guess it kind of
wasn't starting lineup. Derek Jodge Junior started this one as
opposed to Chris Dunn. But there actually is something to
take away from this game. If you're new to this.
I am Chuck Mochaley usually joined by Adam Oslin and
Will Updyke. I know it says postgame on the title
of this but the Clippers are up fifty with twelve
minutes left. The Nets look so bad. This is the
most the Clippers have ever been up through three quarters.
It's insane. I know the game is not over. I
am ending the day early. The Clippers are up fifty points.
I believe it was Mobamba just through an alley oop
to Kai Jones. That's where we're at. But there are
things that take away from this game. Because call me crazy,
I think Kawhi Leonards night is done. The Clippers are
up fifty Acelan saying this will age well when we
blow the fifty one point lead. I hope, I hope
if that were to happen, you can blame me. I will.
I will put that out there right now, that if
the Clippers blow a fIF f one point lead, you
can blame Chuck Buckler. That's fair. It's completely fair if
that happens. There were some good things to take away though.
Like I said, Kawhi Leonard looked phenomenal in this game
relative to everything we've seen up to this point. He
hit two jumpers to start. He was decisive, he was stopping,
he was starting on offense. He was getting double teamed.
Teams still have to respect that he was getting to
the line. That's just the offensive side of the ball.
He looked really good bringing the ball up. We saw
Kawhi Leonard bring the ball up a lot more tonight
than he had so far in his return. I think
that was twofold a to help him get to kind
of Kawhi speed him bringing the ball up. I don't
think it's crazy that there's a correlation. Oh, I don't
think it's crazy to think there's a correlation between Kawhi
Leonard bringing the ball up more and him being able
to get into a rhythm. So that was cool to see.
And Kawhi Leonard bringing the ball up since Derek Jones
Junior was in the lineup to start this game as
opposed to Chris Dunn. It's just what we're gonna see
more of going forward, once Kawi gets back to his
usual minutes load. Adam Oslin tweeted this, and he's absolutely right.
Once Kawi gets back to his usual minutes load, he
will help take the pressure off of James Harden with
ball handling because if Kawhi is bringing the ball up
and James Harden's on the floor, he can't double off
of James Harden or Norm or Derrek Jones Junior because
he'll just cut. So that was really good to see.
Kawi just looked great offensively. It was really good to
see Mikey Ramirez making a great point. The Clippers who
have not won the game yet. I don't want they
have not won the game yet. They are, however, up
one hundred and six to fifty three. One hundred and
six to fifty three. A crazy schedule coming up, so
taking care of business like this against the sub five
hundred team needs to happen more. It was great to
see tonight. The Clippers have to travel and then play
in Portland on Thursday, which is bullshit. I don't like that,
but hey, winning by fifty that helps. But the important
thing to take away from this game is that Kawhi
got his rhythm well when he brought the ball up.
When James Harden is on the court and Kawhi is
bringing the ball up, it's it's good for it's good
things will happen for the Clippers. So that's awesome to see.
We are going to have to see what it looks
like when Kawhi is bringing the ball up on the court,
when James Harden is off the court and not in
the lineup. We did see a small ball lineup tonight.
That was Chris Dunn, Terrence Man, Amir Kawhi, and Batoom.
They were kind of the spark a little bit in
this game. The Clippers were tied at twenty one after
the first quarter in this game, which I think is
mind blowing. They were even in the first quarter after
the first quarter of this game, and then the Clippers
just played really good defense and the Nets didn't score
for like six minutes. Terrence Man did not finish this
game dause some calf soreness, which is really the only
downside of this game. The only bad thing to happen
to come out of this is the fact that that
Terrence Man now has a calf issue, which sucks for
those of you just joining the stream. I am aware
that it says postgame stream, but the Clippers again, just
to reiterate where we're at, the Clippers and the Nets
were tied at twenty one after the first quarter, and
now the Clippers are up fifty five points with nine
minutes left in the fourth. I don't know, a wonderful
night for the Clippers overall, especially with the brutal schedule
coming up with the reschedules after all the fires. Hope
everyone's doing okay. I hope everyone's safe. If you're listening
to this later on the audio, hope you're doing well.
I'm Chuck Mockler. Thanks for hanging out. We're gonna be
talking for about ten to fifteen more minutes. Put your
questions in the chat. If you're listening to this and
you ever want to hang out on video go to
YouTube dot com such at Clippers podcast. Kawhi was phenomenal tonight.
He shot seventy percent. He had the most points for
the Clippers. He also played well on defense. The first
possession of this game, you saw Kawhi Leonard have active
hands and he caused a turnover for the Nets. And
the first quarter was bad for the Clippers again. They
were tied at twenty one, and then the Nets did
what they had been doing for a good stretch up
before this game. The Clippers offense just also shot up
like a rocket. But Kawhi set the tone defensively. I
thought really well in this game to open it. He
was not afraid to try and get steals. We've seen that.
You know that's been a thing in his return is
the aggression on defense has still been there. It was
there tonight. It was great to see. And the aggression
on offense was higher than we'd seen it at any
point in time in his return, which makes sense he's
still getting back to it. But he was hitting every
He just didn't dunk. We didn't get a dunk from
him tonight, but we got pretty much everything else. Yeah,
we saw some a small ball lineup that was real
that I think people are going to really like obviously
is Norm Terrence Emir Kawhi in Batoum. The idea of
that lineup is really really nice, and I think most
Clippers fans would agree with me on that one. Oh yes,
this is a great point, Mikey Ramirez, thank you for
bringing this up. He said, seems like coach lew is
having players out to tinker with lineups or something wrong
or is something wrong with KPJ. No, So, uh, Tyler
kind of said that pregame tonight that you know, Terrence
didn't played last game because ty just wanted to see something.
That's what's happening tonight with KPJ. So KPJ was out,
so Ty could, I'm assuming, based on what he's kind
of alluded to, see what the bench unit looks like
with Terrence and Chris Dunn being the primary secondary ball
handlers whatever you want to call it, versus what KPJ
and Chris Dunn looked like. Terrence Man also unfortunately suffered
a calf injury. He was out. He was ruled out
like around a half at this game, which sucks. But yeah,
lu is tinkering with the bench lineup. He's tinkering with
the starting lineup, though, I think as Kawhi's minutes goes up,
and I'm sure I know Adam Osen feels the same
way too. No word on Will, but I'm assuming he
does too. We're kind of a we're a united front
over here on clips and Dip. The higher kawis minutes goes,
the more we're gonna see Derek Jones Junior starting because Kawhi.
It's just I just think that's gonna happen. Renzo the
old head. Hope you're doing well, Renzo said, Pale having
his best season, meanwhile PG having one of his worst.
Love to see it. There is some Shoden freud happening
right now. I cannot deny that. Clippers fans told Sixers
fans what was going to happen, and it's it's happened.
So here we are. Uh. If you're just joining the
stream and you're wondering why it says post game despite
the game not being over, that is because the Clippers
are up so many points. It's one hundred and sixteen
to fifty five. I don't really know what's happening right now,
if that makes sense. This is uh, this is incredible.
How are they up this much? They're up sixty one points.
See someone said I was going to jinx the team
for having a postgame stream when they were only up fifty,
And look at them now, a sixty one point lead.
I took them minus sixty five, so I actually I
need I really need this. They actually might do it.
I cannot believe this. This is absolutely insane. There's never
I'm I'm in disbelief at this game. Talk about a
get right game for the Clippers. I don't know. I
don't really have a whole much left to say. I
guess because the Clippers are up sixty one and Kawhi
Leonard looked great. Those were the biggest takeaways if you
were to take anything away from this game, because I
know everyone's going to want to talk to their coworkers
about it tomorrow. Yes, Chris Gie, this is the pre
post game I've been on for eleven minutes, and the
Clippers extended their lead by like twelve points. At least
no one was in the stands when the Clippers were
down by fifty. Go Lee. This is horrible, But there
were things that take away. Kawhi Leonard looked great on
both ends. He had his best plus minus of his career.
I believe tonight it was plus forty six. Zoo was
plus forty eight, Norm plus forty seven. The starters did
their jobs, but Kawhi looked great on both ends of
the floor. We saw a lineup that people are gonna
be really excited about, I think, which is Norm man
A mere Kawai Batom. I'm sure at some point we're
gonna see hardened Norm a mirror Kawhi. Excuse me, hardened
Norm Kawhi. Uh but tom uh in a mirror like that.
That's gonna happen, which will be fun. I mean, I
don't know what the main takeaways. The only tangible takeaways
are that Kawhi Leonard's ramping up very well. Lot Murray
thinks he's going to be out of the restrictions around February,
which I think is totally that makes sense. He looked
phenomenal tonight, so that's good. The Clippers have to travel
tomorrow and play a game in Portland, so getting this
win tonight is great. And the way they got it, like,
I don't know, this is crazy. Yeah. So Done and
Derek Jones Junior have not been good at shooting threes lately,
it's been pretty painful. We hope it comes back to normal.
I don't know they'll get more open shots with Kwhi
bean back. Yeah again, the Clippers were tied at twenty one,
they end up destroying the Nets. I'm gonna head out.
I hope everyone has a great rest of your night.
Thanks for hanging out. Subscribe if you want. We're gonna
have a full episode for y'all on Friday to preview
the Clippers game versus the Lakers that's on Sunday. That's
a huge one for the standings. I just I don't
know what else to say about the team performance tonight.
I can't believe that the Clippers were tied at twenty
one and they were at sixty at one point. It
just kind of blows my mind. But Kawhi Leonard looked good.
He's getting back where he needs to be, and the
Clippers are gonna be a big issue. I hope Terrence
Man can come back at some point in this craziness.
I've been Chuck Mockler. Thank you for hanging out. If
you know any Nets fans, I don't know Evenmo m
