Speaker 1: The LA Clippers.
Speaker 2: The game is ended, gather round boys, time to recap, but.
Speaker 1: The post game coverage is just getting started.
Speaker 2: The successes the failure.
Speaker 1: Let's discuss this is Clippers locker Road breaking down today's
Speaker 1: action with the pre and post game voice of the Clippers.
Speaker 1: Here's at a Moss lag.
Speaker 3: Now, that's how you handle your first back to back
Speaker 3: of the season. The Clippers sweep it. They went in
Speaker 3: Denvery yesterday and they just won one twelve to one
Speaker 3: oh four up north against the Golden State Warriors. Welcome
Speaker 3: into your Clippers postgame show. I'm at a Moslin coming up.
Speaker 3: We got second half highlights in your post game box score.
Speaker 3: But first we're heading back out to Carlojmenez from Chase Center,
Speaker 3: where the Clippers just well, they're leaving two games, two wins,
Speaker 3: one loss so far. Carlo Clipper Nation cannot contain themselves
Speaker 3: right now. They are proud of this ball club, as
Speaker 3: they should be. With the Clippers with another gritty, gutty
Speaker 3: effort and some fine defensive plays down the stretch leading
Speaker 3: to offense.
Speaker 4: It was just such an impressive win because of the
Speaker 4: way this team got the win. Adam to do it
Speaker 4: with the defensive side of the basketball. You get twenty
Speaker 4: one points off the twenty one turnovers for Golden State
Speaker 4: dominate once again, points in the paints plus twenty for
Speaker 4: the Clippers in this one, and then you get twenty
Speaker 4: one second chance points. The second chance points, the points
Speaker 4: off turnovers. Those are hustle stats. Those are stats to
Speaker 4: show how hard you're putting an effort. And after playing
Speaker 4: at a mile high yesterday, you'd think this team will
Speaker 4: be winded early in the season, but they were ready
Speaker 4: down the stretch. How about the effort by Chris Dunn
Speaker 4: late Adam Norman pal of block and then a long
Speaker 4: too to put the Clippers up by five after it
Speaker 4: was a one point game.
Speaker 5: Just such a gritty win once again.
Speaker 4: And I think one thing we can be sure of
Speaker 4: about this team through three games is they.
Speaker 5: Fight all forty eight.
Speaker 4: It was impressive stuff from the Clippers, who were a
Speaker 4: couple plays away from being three to oher With wins over,
Speaker 4: the Clippers are over the Warriors and the Nuggets right
Speaker 4: now on the board, and should be the Phoenix Suns.
Speaker 3: The Clippers are two to one on this young season,
Speaker 3: thanks to Big Zoo becoming the first Clipper with consecutive
Speaker 3: games of at least twenty points and fifteen boards since
Speaker 3: DeAndre Jordan did it back in twenty fifteen. Of Viza
Speaker 3: Zubots is thriving being featured now as a focal point
Speaker 3: on offense. He finished with twenty three seventeen six assists
Speaker 3: out there as well two steals and a block. This
Speaker 3: is what many of us, the Zoo truthers, knew he
Speaker 3: was capable of. He's doing it right now, Carlo.
Speaker 5: He really was.
Speaker 4: It really was a fantastic performance from Zubots. Another ont
Speaker 4: of bank to back games. He plays thirty eight plus minutes,
Speaker 4: didn't look tired at all, twenty three and seventeen. He's
Speaker 4: gonna get some well well deserved rest for this Clipper
Speaker 4: team that has just been playing through him. I mean,
Speaker 4: in all honesty, they're playing this offense is playing through
Speaker 4: of Vitza Zubots a lot of times, especially with James
Speaker 4: Harden off the floor. His ability to clean things up,
Speaker 4: to get downhill, to attack in the paint and take
Speaker 4: advantage of those smaller matchups.
Speaker 5: It's been fun to watch for me and Vita.
Speaker 4: Zoobots has to be the early season favorite for most
Speaker 4: improved player at him with the way he has shined
Speaker 4: after last year. Now he was actually last year for
Speaker 4: the Clippers eleven points, nine rebounds. He was averaging twenty
Speaker 4: and fifteen through three games for this Clipper team, and
Speaker 4: coming up you got a Portland squad that has some
Speaker 4: good pig men. But you feel like after DeAndre ayting,
Speaker 4: Avitazus is an opportunity to eat once again.
Speaker 3: I agree with you. He should be the front runner
Speaker 3: for that award right now. It's way too early in
Speaker 3: the season, of course, but it's three games in and
Speaker 3: I Vitza Zubots looks great, But I almost feel like
Speaker 3: this is just about a guy taking advantage of an opportunity,
Speaker 3: and this has been in him for some time, and
Speaker 3: now he's really being a part of this Clippers offense,
Speaker 3: and guys are looking for him early and often and late.
Speaker 3: And I still can't believe the move he made for
Speaker 3: the throwdown to put him up by five late in
Speaker 3: this ballgame, or if Easa Zubos was showing off the
Speaker 3: handle there. Maybe he's learning something else from James Harden.
Speaker 4: I mean, put the moves on Big Zoo, get downhill,
Speaker 4: a little sidestep and then a two innded Hammer of eacha,
Speaker 4: Zubots looks like the most comfortable at him. I think
Speaker 4: he's looked all season long, and I would agree with
Speaker 4: you like the most improved player. Probably wouldn't because he's
Speaker 4: improved the skill set, but the opportunities are just greater
Speaker 4: right now for him, and he's doing what we believed
Speaker 4: he could have done, what you believe you started the
Speaker 4: march that he could do with more time. Once again,
Speaker 4: he plays all but six minutes, all but four minutes,
Speaker 4: ten minutes.
Speaker 5: There we go.
Speaker 6: Math.
Speaker 5: Math is hard. Second out of back to back. Please
Speaker 5: don't come from me.
Speaker 4: All but ten minutes of this game, and every second
Speaker 4: he was on the floor was a positive for the
Speaker 4: Clippers in a big, big way. It is so fun
Speaker 4: to root for this team because the way they play
Speaker 4: basketball and because of Iata Zubats is out there doing
Speaker 4: his thing.
Speaker 3: Carlo, I think what I'm most proud of tonight is
Speaker 3: not that just the fact the Clippers are coming off
Speaker 3: a big emotional victory Denver yesterday, but absorbing multiple runs
Speaker 3: by the Golden State Warriors in the second quarter, they
Speaker 3: made a big run end of the third quarter before
Speaker 3: it was an answer by Norman Powell. It was a one
Speaker 3: point game with about three minutes left. After the Clippers
Speaker 3: looked like they were falling apart. With three forty seven left,
Speaker 3: Andrew Wiggins HiT's a three pointer. It's one zero, one
Speaker 3: to one hundred. And as you said, they never relinquished
Speaker 3: the lead, and they showed poise under noise on the
Speaker 3: road on this trip.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Really once again putting the band aid on after getting
Speaker 4: exposed a little bit against Phoenix, where you give up
Speaker 4: the lead, this time you get pushed to the brink.
Speaker 4: Backs on the ropes didn't matter. This team fopped back.
Speaker 4: They got a right hook in and they were to
Speaker 4: create some space and that's all they needed outam.
Speaker 5: They took the lead in the second and they never
Speaker 5: gave it up. They never gave it up.
Speaker 4: The last Warrior lead was thirty one point thirty in
Speaker 4: the first quarter and the Clippers held on the entire contest.
Speaker 4: So fun to see that team not relinquish a second
Speaker 4: all game long.
Speaker 5: They were fighting to the end and they came away
Speaker 5: with a victory.
Speaker 4: I thought there was a lot of bright spots off
Speaker 4: the bench. Nico Batoum gets on the board with a three,
Speaker 4: a mere Coffee gave you eight points and twenty minutes
Speaker 4: of course, hardened seven rebounds, eleven assists, twenty three points.
Speaker 4: He's once again near averaging a triple double to start
Speaker 4: the season.
Speaker 5: The Clippers got it done.
Speaker 4: They got it done on the road in a hostile
Speaker 4: environment on the second hand of it, back to back,
Speaker 4: and I don't know what more you can say than
Speaker 4: this team is battle tested, and this team is passing
Speaker 4: some of their biggest tests early in the year.
Speaker 3: Really like what we're seeing with that backup unit next
Speaker 3: to Big Zoo to start fourth quarters. Coach lou Is
Speaker 3: tapped into something there. That crew has done damage the
Speaker 3: last couple of ballgames against stiff competition. They've been really
Speaker 3: good out there. I believe it was Chris Dunn, a
Speaker 3: Mere Coffee, Nico Batoum a Vista zu Bots. Those guys
Speaker 3: were absolutely like and you could see it, they could
Speaker 3: feel it. They were working together as a tandem. That
Speaker 3: chemistry is being built up by a bunch of bea
Speaker 3: and then A beats the Zoo Bots. Chris Dunn, by
Speaker 3: the way, just phenomenal in this ballgame.
Speaker 4: Chris Dunn was the spark off the bench. Adam the
Speaker 4: Clippers were looking for and they needed all game long.
Speaker 4: This was a Clipper team that came in with eyes
Speaker 4: on the prize. I mean, you get one of two,
Speaker 4: you already think you're playing with house money. But they
Speaker 4: didn't look that way. It looked like they lost yesterday
Speaker 4: with the way they came and fought, and it was
Speaker 4: becomes Chris Dunn played with that chip on his shoulder
Speaker 4: that he does every single night for this Clipper team.
Speaker 4: Looking at the final bounds score here done coming away
Speaker 4: with four steals in this ballgame for the eleven for
Speaker 4: the Clippers. Derek Jones Junior gets too. And you heard
Speaker 4: it from Derek postgame. It's a team effort on the
Speaker 4: defensive end. It is a team effort and those two
Speaker 4: guys are a big part of it.
Speaker 3: I missed out giving KPJ some love there. He was
Speaker 3: in that five man unit that started the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3: And he also, I believe, had his best game so
Speaker 3: far as a Clipper, still just two of seven, but
Speaker 3: got that right elbow jumper to go, got a three
Speaker 3: point to go in this one as he banked it in,
Speaker 3: I believe, in his seventeen minutes, though he had a
Speaker 3: couple of steals. He had three assists. He was playing
Speaker 3: within himself a little bit more. And this Clippers crew
Speaker 3: right now is two to one without Kawhi Leonard. They
Speaker 3: return home to into It Dome on Wednesday, conquering heroes
Speaker 3: after sweeping the back to back in Denver. In Golden State,
Speaker 3: the Clippers win this one one twelve to one oh
Speaker 3: four over the Warriors. Carlo Jimenez, we will see you
Speaker 3: back at the Dome. The Dome is home for a
Speaker 3: Wednesday contest, Clippers hosting the Portland trail Blazers. Tip time
Speaker 3: at seven thirty pregame at six thirty. Great call is
Speaker 3: always safe travels, my friend.
Speaker 4: Safe travels at them. We got five in a row together.
Speaker 4: Get ready home stand coming out here do.
Speaker 3: It we go? Second half highlights coming up next, Clippers Up.
Speaker 3: They win this one one twelve to one oh four.
Speaker 3: Up north against the Golden State Warriors. They pull through
Speaker 3: late once again. Clipper Nations, I know you're on cloud nine.
Speaker 3: This team might not be an airplane to fly back.
Speaker 3: They got airplane mode and Derek Jones Jr. Instead marek
Speaker 3: Clippers post game next right here on the Los Angeles
Speaker 3: Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: The Clippers. You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball. Take us
Speaker 1: with you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3: Clippers win one twelve to one four in San Francisco
Speaker 3: over the Golden State Warriors. They improved a three to
Speaker 3: one on this young season. How about Aviza Zoobots can't
Speaker 3: say enough about the big man. Third straight twenty point game,
Speaker 3: another game where he's got fifteen plus rebounds, had seventeen
Speaker 3: in this one, six offensive rebounds. You know, I've been
Speaker 3: singing his praises for years. You know, I've been pulling
Speaker 3: my hair out talking about how they should be playing
Speaker 3: through a Viza Zoo bots more. It's finally happening. The
Speaker 3: work he has put in has met the opportunity. Big
Speaker 3: Zoo is here, guys. You know me, I'm quite a
Speaker 3: big fan of him. Defeats the Zoobos once again, big
Speaker 3: down the stretch in this ball game. Let's get through
Speaker 3: some of the second half highlights here as the Clippers,
Speaker 3: after surviving a run by the Golden State Warriors to
Speaker 3: end that second quarter, they still led fifty nine to
Speaker 3: fifty four, but they led by as many as eleven
Speaker 3: in the first half. In the third, another Golden State
Speaker 3: Warriors run after the Clippers got up by nine, but
Speaker 3: it was Norman Palell who pushed back. At the end
Speaker 3: of the third Harden left.
Speaker 4: Wing, dribbling on the right hand, directing traffic of the left,
Speaker 4: staring at Norman Pale.
Speaker 5: Bouncing to Norman Pale left the.
Speaker 4: Layup up and in Norman pal for two fine zoo
Speaker 4: with a free throw line, Norm left angle triple Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: Norman Pale all cords to Norman Palell attacks stop, steps
Speaker 4: back to the free throw line. Righty floater moving to
Speaker 4: his left trickles in Norman pal the bucket he's in
Speaker 4: double figures, Clippers out and running.
Speaker 5: Norm on the right handed handle, runs.
Speaker 4: Into Putjepsti quotes and finishes. Who's back door for Norman
Speaker 4: pal Already flutter make it six straight for Norman back
Speaker 4: door for Norman pal Already flutter make it six straight
Speaker 4: for Norman Harden In bounced to Norman it's gonna be
Speaker 4: his show. With four right went.
Speaker 7: With two, A three is up Norman pal from outside.
Speaker 3: There was Norman Powell so nice. We had to play
Speaker 3: it twice for you. Norman Pall had a three three
Speaker 3: straight floaters and the Clippers after giving up some of
Speaker 3: the lead, they would lead heading into the fourth eighty
Speaker 3: six to seventy nine as storman. Norman Powell had a
Speaker 3: nine to zero run to end that third quarter, and
Speaker 3: then once again things got dicey. The Clippers were giving
Speaker 3: away the basketball. Derek Jones Junior was bringing it up
Speaker 3: instead of James Harden, trying to play him more off ball.
Speaker 3: But the Clippers made the big plays even when it
Speaker 3: was a one point game with just under four minutes
Speaker 3: left in that fourth quarter.
Speaker 4: Done straight away with three it's dancing with two right
Speaker 4: handed handle, floats it up and finishes.
Speaker 5: Chris Dunn do it yourself.
Speaker 7: Here's Zobots underneath finds Norman left corner, three string music,
Speaker 7: Norman Pale from the coffin corner and the Clippers from
Speaker 7: the cliffs edge down one.
Speaker 4: To up five, double team to Zoo and the paint
Speaker 4: do win it him.
Speaker 5: Big Zoo with the in and out cross and the elevation.
Speaker 4: Sensation tongue got it across the timeline.
Speaker 5: He comes fine. Zoobots do crow it downs, put.
Speaker 7: Some contact Big Zoo with some emphasis after the fact.
Speaker 3: That would seal it. That would put the Clippers up
Speaker 3: one eleven to one oh four. They would win one
Speaker 3: twelve to one o four over the Golden State Warriors.
Speaker 3: They've won two in a row. They're two to one
Speaker 3: on this young season. They sweep the road trip, winning
Speaker 3: in Denver yesterday and up North versus the Golden State Warriors,
Speaker 3: and now they have two days off. More in your
Speaker 3: final box score next right here on the Los Angeles
Speaker 3: Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is the La clipper Is Audio Network.
Speaker 2: Best fans in best arena in the entire sport.
Speaker 1: Take us with you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1: Back to Clippers basketball.
Speaker 3: Clippers win one twelve to one oh four up North
Speaker 3: against the Golden State Warriors. Your final box score. Clippers
Speaker 3: end up shooting forty seven percent from the floor, Golden
Speaker 3: Stage just forty three percent. They cooled off from three
Speaker 3: after starting six of fourteen. They ended up fourteen of
Speaker 3: forty three, the Clippers ten of thirty two. Some clutch
Speaker 3: triples once again, Clippers out rebounding their opponent in this
Speaker 3: one forty eight to forty seven. It was close. Offensive
Speaker 3: rebounds were even at fourteen apiece. Big Zoo had six
Speaker 3: of them for the Clippers on his way to drop
Speaker 3: in twenty three eighteen and six assists. We had him
Speaker 3: at seventeen on a different box score. We got him
Speaker 3: at eighteen on this one points in the paint. Clippers
Speaker 3: with fifty eight, Golden State Warriors with thirty eight. How
Speaker 3: about second chance points? Clippers went eight for twelve with
Speaker 3: twenty one points on their second chance points. That's phenomenal
Speaker 3: fast break points. Golden State beat him there sixteen to twelve.
Speaker 3: Clippers eighteen turnovers, still not great, leading to twenty points
Speaker 3: for Golden State. Golden State, though with twenty one leading
Speaker 3: to twenty one points for your Los Angeles Clippers, who
Speaker 3: got four starters in double figures. Dereck Jones Junior with
Speaker 3: eighteen points, seven of ten from the floor, three of
Speaker 3: four from the outside. He had twelve points. I believe
Speaker 3: in the first quarter he started five of five from
Speaker 3: the field. Really got them clicked in and they were
Speaker 3: tied at thirty four. Because the Clippers, you know, offensively,
Speaker 3: they had to hang with Golden State early on when
Speaker 3: they hit six three pointers in the first twelve minutes.
Speaker 3: A lot of that was due to Dereck Jones Junior
Speaker 3: stepping up. James Harden twenty three points, eleven assists, doing
Speaker 3: what he does, getting everybody involved. Just two of twelve
Speaker 3: from the outside and it doesn't matter. The end of
Speaker 3: the third quarter may have saved this game for the Clippers.
Speaker 3: Those nine points straight he had for them. Ended up
Speaker 3: with twenty points, eight of fifteen shooting. This Clippers team
Speaker 3: getting contributions everywhere. I thought it was Kevin Porter Junior's
Speaker 3: best game. He was a plus sixteen out there, made
Speaker 3: some defensive plays, had a steal, two of seven from
Speaker 3: the floor, no dunks, a jumper, and banked in a
Speaker 3: three pointer. Chris Dunn plus twenty best on the team.
Speaker 3: I love seeing him closing games right now. He has
Speaker 3: earned that. He ended up with just six points. But
Speaker 3: even though he missed a couple of three pointers, the
Speaker 3: rip on Steph, the and one. I know he missed
Speaker 3: the free throw, but he was getting in passing lanes
Speaker 3: over and over again. Same with a mere coffee. He
Speaker 3: went three or five, had eight points knocked down. The
Speaker 3: only three pointer he took Niko Batum with five points
Speaker 3: was a plus thirteen. The bench was fantastic for the Clippers.
Speaker 3: Clippers win one twelve to one to four up North
Speaker 3: against the Golden State Warriors. They head back home after
Speaker 3: two days off. They'll be it into it Dome on Wednesday,
Speaker 3: taking on the Portland trail Blazers tiptom at seven thirty.
Speaker 3: Pregame shows starting at six thirty. Outside of Los Angeles,
Speaker 3: we are leaving you until then, but coming up we
Speaker 3: got Clippers Talk eight sixty six nine eight seven two
Speaker 3: five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five
Speaker 3: seventy if you want to get on outside of Los Angeles,
Speaker 3: leaving you until Wednesday in LA and on Clippers Talk
Speaker 3: on YouTube. We got more coming up next.
Speaker 1: And with that, just like that, another Clipper broadcast is ended.
Speaker 1: Hoarding chudging and this has been Clippers Locker Road, a
Speaker 1: postgame look at today's skat.
Speaker 2: Every game all season long.
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us for all the action on
Speaker 1: the LA Clippers Audio Network, hooning in.
Speaker 2: We're taking your calls on the LA Clippers right now.
Speaker 1: This is Clippers Talk on airon.
Speaker 2: On demand, the Clippers Show of Record.
Speaker 1: Your chance to react to everything Clippers news happens. Let
Speaker 1: me guess it's about Kawhi. Here we are and now here.
Speaker 1: He is the host of your LA Clippers pre and postgame.
Speaker 2: At follow Adam a Adam Osley.
Speaker 3: Your Clippers head home after a two game sweep in
Speaker 3: their first back to back of the season. They win
Speaker 3: yesterday in Denver. They don't get complacent. They went today
Speaker 3: up north over the Golden State Warriors one twelve to
Speaker 3: one O four and the Clippers start off this season
Speaker 3: two to one, and it feels like they very easily
Speaker 3: could be three.
Speaker 1: And oh.
Speaker 3: Welcome in to Clippers Talk. I'm Adam Oslin. Taking you
Speaker 3: till a little after the top of next hour. We'll
Speaker 3: get to your phone calls at eight six six nine
Speaker 3: eight seven two five seventy. Eight six six nine eight
Speaker 3: seven two five seventy is the phone number. This Clippers team,
Speaker 3: this defense is special. They held another team to one
Speaker 3: hundred and four points, same as yesterday. Yesterday it was
Speaker 3: one oh nine, one oh four Clippers over Denver, today
Speaker 3: one twelve, one oh four Roopers over Golden State. They
Speaker 3: do it with defense and a feistiness and a grittiness
Speaker 3: that we haven't seen in some time. The whole is
Speaker 3: greater than the some of its parts. But some of
Speaker 3: these individual performances are special too. I've talked about Big
Speaker 3: Zoo as a Warshack test for if you know ball.
Speaker 3: For a long time, the Zoo haters never understood, could
Speaker 3: never see the potential of this player and what he
Speaker 3: could do if you just gave him more opportunities. It's
Speaker 3: finally happening. I've been talking about Big Zoo for years,
Speaker 3: saying there is an easier path to victory for this
Speaker 3: Clippers team, and it is playing through Big Zoo well.
Speaker 3: With Paul George now in Philly, with Kawhi Leonard out
Speaker 3: right now, Big Zoo is taking advantage of his big
Speaker 3: spotlight that is on him third straight game with twenty
Speaker 3: or more, first time in his career. Why because he's
Speaker 3: getting the minutes thirty seven minutes after playing thirty nine
Speaker 3: yesterday and he gets twenty three, eighteen boards and six assists.
Speaker 3: If you didn't know, Big Zoo's like that, if you
Speaker 3: give him the opportunity, if you let him cook, if
Speaker 3: you play through him on offense, I said three years ago,
Speaker 3: he looks like a long lost assault brother at times,
Speaker 3: with the way he can use his right hand his
Speaker 3: left hand. It's about damn time his offense is being
Speaker 3: exploited and they're using him to punish the opposition. I
Speaker 3: get it. They had four Hall of Famers last year.
Speaker 3: How many opportunities was he going to get? But now
Speaker 3: with James Harden and he running the pick and roll
Speaker 3: to perfection, this is Zoo's time and he's playing like
Speaker 3: an All star through three games. That's how good he
Speaker 3: has looked. There are people on Twitter saying, oh, you
Speaker 3: want a cookie. It's about time he's doing this. The
Speaker 3: same people who have hated on him say he don't
Speaker 3: have he doesn't have hands with their hands of stone
Speaker 3: like Kwalme Brown or something. All he needed was the
Speaker 3: minutes and the opportunity and he'll take care of the rest.
Speaker 3: I have been saying this on record for years. In fact,
Speaker 3: I'm busy retweeting myself. I just put one up from
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one where it was the Christopher Walking sketch
Speaker 3: Fear the Reaper, where he's asking for more cow bell.
Speaker 3: What was I asking for in March of twenty twenty one,
Speaker 3: more Zubats. I'm not surprised. To quote Nate Diaz, I
Speaker 3: left one part out. I'm not surprised by this.
Speaker 2: You may be.
Speaker 3: You may have not understood just how good of East
Speaker 3: Zubas could be. You may have been holding on to
Speaker 3: the fact that he was dropping past his first year
Speaker 3: with the Clippers because he had broken hands and you
Speaker 3: didn't give him a break, and so therefore any time
Speaker 3: he dropped a pass, you say, well, typical big Zoo
Speaker 3: Zoo haters were always wrong, and now they're facing an
Speaker 3: Viza Zoo bots that is fully operational. I mean, I
Speaker 3: gotta have more cow bell, I gotta have more big Zoo.
Speaker 3: I got to this is what I've wanted. He's been
Speaker 3: an elite defender. He's been a top five rimp protector
Speaker 3: every year with the Clippers. Check the numbers. He's been
Speaker 3: mister consistent in that area. But what about his offense?
Speaker 3: What about getting easy buckets for a team that has
Speaker 3: always struggled in that area. The guy was hiding in
Speaker 3: plain sight, the biggest guy on the team. It's like
Speaker 3: the picture of Shack behind the tree trying to hide.
Speaker 3: How do they not see it? I don't understand, but
Speaker 3: I'm happy he's finally touching the basketball, getting it in
Speaker 3: the low post, getting it in his spots where now
Speaker 3: he can make quick decisions, go up with the right hand,
Speaker 3: the left hand, have a huge throwdown, a damn in
Speaker 3: and out yo yo type of dribble pass the defender
Speaker 3: late in this one for a two handed rim rocker.
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me? Open up the bag, big Zoo.
Speaker 3: It ain't Christmas yet, but it feels like it came
Speaker 3: early for Clipper Nation with the Visa Zoo Boss, we're
Speaker 3: unwrapping a gift early. Some people do that Christmas Eve.
Speaker 3: Avista Zoobots is here for this. He was made for this.
Speaker 3: He's ready for this. He's twenty seven. He just got
Speaker 3: his contract extension. He's with us the next four seasons.
Speaker 3: Clipper Nation, you're getting his prime years. This is what
Speaker 3: we've been waiting for. Can he deliver? Yes, he always could.
Speaker 3: They just didn't give him a shot. Credit him for
Speaker 3: staying ready, so you don't have to get ready. It's
Speaker 3: happening right before your eyes. And late in this ballgame,
Speaker 3: Zoo put it away with that and one another dunk.
Speaker 3: Ridiculous This Clippers team. Early in the fourth quarter after
Speaker 3: Norman Powell and his heroics in the third where the
Speaker 3: Clippers were up by ten, the Golden State Warriors cut
Speaker 3: into the lead just like they did in the second quarter,
Speaker 3: but the Clippers responded. Three different times. Golden State made
Speaker 3: their big push three different times in epic fashion. The
Speaker 3: Clippers pushed back and they answered all those runs by
Speaker 3: the Golden State Warriors. End of the third quarter, it
Speaker 3: was Norman Powell storman. Norman Powell comes in, hits a
Speaker 3: three pointer. It's seventy one sixty seven. After the Clippers
Speaker 3: led early in the quarter by seven, they had increased
Speaker 3: their lead. They looked like they might be able to
Speaker 3: put this one away. Early Golden State made their run.
Speaker 3: Norman Powell comes in three pointer. Steph Curry answers. Derek
Speaker 3: Jones Junior knocked down a three to answer that. Then
Speaker 3: three straight runners floaters from Norman Powell just awesome. Scored
Speaker 3: the last nine points of the quarter for the Clippers,
Speaker 3: including a three pointer with a second left. When have
Speaker 3: we seen that before? Oh yeah, end up shot clock, Norm.
Speaker 3: We saw it all last season. That's nothing new either.
Speaker 3: Norm's stepping up when you need him to. That's nothing new.
Speaker 3: I mean, Law and I disagreed on this. I said
Speaker 3: over under twenty nine and a half. I think I
Speaker 3: put it at for Viza Zubas this season. Right now,
Speaker 3: he's way over, way over where he needs to be.
Speaker 3: I've been begging for thirty plus minutes for Vitzazubas. Look
Speaker 3: at what he's doing between him Norman Powell, as Chris
Speaker 3: g says on the YouTube live side, loving the done
Speaker 3: off the bench thing. Seems like this is working. Dun's
Speaker 3: energy is infectious. It's just another wave of defenders coming
Speaker 3: at you. It never stops with this Clippers team. They
Speaker 3: got guys coming from all angles. That steal on Curry
Speaker 3: and layup. I know he missed the free throw on
Speaker 3: the A one, but done let out a scream the
Speaker 3: passion he plays with. Then he had another steal, the
Speaker 3: deflection he had in the third quarter when they were
Speaker 3: trying to find Steph Curry just getting into the passing lane,
Speaker 3: a big board over Kevon Looney. Then he got a
Speaker 3: floater to go on the fourth. How about this crew,
Speaker 3: zoo KPJ done but toom and a mere copy. Those
Speaker 3: guys have started the last couple of fourth quarters and
Speaker 3: they have extended the lead. Guys, awesome to see. I
Speaker 3: thought it was KPJ's best game, played within him self
Speaker 3: more had that great feed to Chris Dunn for the
Speaker 3: layup to put the Clippers up by ten in the
Speaker 3: fourth quarter. Curry left at the seven fifty five mark.
Speaker 3: Something was going on with his ankle. We saw even
Speaker 3: before that he was working on it. On the sideline.
Speaker 3: Clippers win one twelve to one oh four over the
Speaker 3: Golden State Warriors. Tay Just and Walnut, your back on
Speaker 3: Clippers stock, How are we doing?
Speaker 1: Jesus good?
Speaker 8: Adam, Ivan tak to you. So it's less season and
Speaker 8: I tried calling in and opening night I was into it,
Speaker 8: but I was too busy admiring and I called you
Speaker 8: too late. So here I am. Uh, you know, I
Speaker 8: just watching the Watching the game today is just I
Speaker 8: don't know, I'm kind of proud of the guys. It's
Speaker 8: just you know, they're leaving it on the floor. They're
Speaker 8: playing for each other. And you know, I just love
Speaker 8: seeing Zoo because you know, I've been just like you.
Speaker 8: I've been advocating for more Zoo touches. You check your
Speaker 8: Zoke your Costanza wall, You'll see that receipt in there, right.
Speaker 3: I got a Stanza wall at full receipts right now
Speaker 3: about to eats Zoo bots and all the haters that
Speaker 3: are going to pay.
Speaker 8: It's coming, no, Adam. And you know what I was
Speaker 8: thinking was like before when we had the obviously a
Speaker 8: two on three era, didn't you know, succeed. We didn't
Speaker 8: get a championship. But with if you look at it now,
Speaker 8: with this current roster, I feel like Harden, with this
Speaker 8: roster will he will make the Clippers succeed a lot
Speaker 8: more than Paul George would. And it's not a shot
Speaker 8: at Paul George. I just think with this team and
Speaker 8: utilizing Zubach the way that Harden does it, just this
Speaker 8: team goes really far. I mean, obviously Paul George was
Speaker 8: good on the defensive end, but this the way that
Speaker 8: we got all the defensive players with Derek Jones and
Speaker 8: Don Harden just better suited for this team. And I
Speaker 8: just like where we're going. I know Terrence Man struggling,
Speaker 8: but you know, we thought that if Terrence Man struggles,
Speaker 8: we're gonna we were gonna have, you know, difficulty winning games.
Speaker 8: But luckily, Darry Jones' three has been falling. Chris Dunn's
Speaker 8: been playing really well, and that's what you need until
Speaker 8: Quite comes back. And when he comes back, and if
Speaker 8: these the players are playing this well, uh, we're gonna
Speaker 8: be hard to beat.
Speaker 3: I agree with you, Dajus, We'll take a quick time out.
Speaker 3: I love the way this team looks so far early
Speaker 3: in the season. I love the pivot after they lost
Speaker 3: Paul George. I told you that Sunday when free agency
Speaker 3: opened up and they brought in Derrick Jones Junior, I said,
Speaker 3: here we go. They're leaning into defense. Then Chris Dunn
Speaker 3: comes in, Nico Batoom, Jeff Van Gundy hashtag JVG for MVP.
Speaker 3: Clippers win one twelve to one o four over the
Speaker 3: Golden State Warriors. More of your phone calls than Chuck
Speaker 3: Machler will join me coming up next right here are
Speaker 3: Clippers stock on AMP five seventy E Sports.
Speaker 1: The Clippers. You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball. Take us
Speaker 1: with you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3: Clippers go back to back victories in Denver yesterday up
Speaker 3: north taking on the Golden State Warriors. Today they win
Speaker 3: one twelve to one oh four. Welcome back into Clippers
Speaker 3: Stock here on the M five seventy LA Sports. If
Speaker 3: you're watching on the YouTube side, I'm at a Moslin
Speaker 3: coming up. Back to your phone calls at eight six
Speaker 3: six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six six
Speaker 3: ninety seven two five seventy. But first join the show
Speaker 3: would be Big Chuck Mockler from Clips and Dip. You
Speaker 3: heard the music, Chuck is here, and Chuck, I don't
Speaker 3: know if I got your phone punched up or I'm
Speaker 3: on speakerphone or what, because I could see you here
Speaker 3: on this side. As long as it sounds good, it's
Speaker 3: all good. Brother. This Clippers team right now is a go.
Speaker 3: How about that victory? What are you most proud of
Speaker 3: with this team so far? Oh?
Speaker 9: I mean, if we're just talking that victory specifically, how
Speaker 9: can we not all be so proud of Big Zoo?
Speaker 9: Did you see him hit him like a quarterback out
Speaker 9: there moving the defense with his eyes on that one roll.
Speaker 9: I mean, the first time since DeAndre Jordan that we've
Speaker 9: had a Clipper center who had twenty ten and a
Speaker 9: couple assists or something like that two games in a row. No,
Speaker 9: the Big Zoo bandwagon is open. A lot of people
Speaker 9: weren't into it before, no pun intended, but it's here
Speaker 9: and it's absolutely spectacular. He closed the game up for
Speaker 9: the Clippers today.
Speaker 3: Vitza Zubas deserves this. I think he's always had it
Speaker 3: in him. He just has never been featured he's never
Speaker 3: got the touches, he's never got the real opportunity. It's
Speaker 3: finally happening, and he's taking advantage of it. I know
Speaker 3: some people are talking about Terrence Man. I might have
Speaker 3: to pull video from early in this game because I
Speaker 3: thought Terrence Man played some of the best defense on
Speaker 3: Steph Curry, and if I got to pull the video later,
Speaker 3: I will because people are saying he's running around doing
Speaker 3: cardio and I'm like, guys, I could name three different
Speaker 3: possessions right now where he played stellar defen on Steph Curry,
Speaker 3: who never got it going obviously left a game late. Unfortunately.
Speaker 3: Hope he's okay. But people are talking about Terrence Man
Speaker 3: being taken out of the starting lineup three games in.
Speaker 9: It's the third game. We are this many games in
Speaker 9: and for a team that doesn't we're playing very well
Speaker 9: right now, right We love the scrappiness. Good things are happening.
Speaker 9: Let Terrence Man get into his groove. Let Terrence Man
Speaker 9: get into his groove. There's other things to worry about
Speaker 9: than Terrence Man right now. I don't mean not crazy ominously,
Speaker 9: but let Terrence figure it out. If Tyler wants to
Speaker 9: make a change, he'll make a change. It's not like
Speaker 9: we're playing with a coach. Maybe it'll be in ten
Speaker 9: games if it continues to be bad as people have said,
Speaker 9: but it's the third game. We just we just got
Speaker 9: to let him figure it out. And there's so many
Speaker 9: things to be excited about right now that are going
Speaker 9: well for the Clippers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just people wanting to, I don't know, have
Speaker 3: Terrence Man catch astray for no reason when they've been
Speaker 3: good so far and could easily be three and zero. Look,
Speaker 3: I said this offseason, I wouldn't be shocked if Chris
Speaker 3: Dunn ended up being the starting two guard because it
Speaker 3: feels to me like what happened in Houston when James
Speaker 3: Harden was playing next to Patrick Beverley. Chris Dunn is
Speaker 3: that type of guy. Proved it once again tonight. He
Speaker 3: was awesome.
Speaker 9: Chris Dune's fantastic. I mentioned this on the Clippers Pod Twitter,
Speaker 9: But like he's a plug and play guy. And when
Speaker 9: you're a team like the Clippers who have new additions,
Speaker 9: you have some young guys, you have on whole new
Speaker 9: system for guys to learn. Chris Dunn has stepped in
Speaker 9: played phenomenally in the role is supposed to have been and
Speaker 9: giving us chunky stat lines, which is exactly what we needed.
Speaker 9: He's all over the place defensively, He's a connector offensively
Speaker 9: the point of attack. Defense is wonderful from Chris Dun
Speaker 9: and Van Gundy. Having a guy like Chris Dunn on
Speaker 9: his roster is a huge pain in the ass for
Speaker 9: the rest of the league.
Speaker 3: Chris Dunn was great, James Harden was good, and I
Speaker 3: felt like this team was really good when it came
Speaker 3: to absorbing adversity and then firing back. Three different times,
Speaker 3: the Golden State Warriors made big runs and you knew
Speaker 3: they were coming, just like the run after the Clippers
Speaker 3: were up eighteen against Denver yesterday, you know. And this
Speaker 3: Clippers team was able to show poise and that's kind
Speaker 3: of rare for a new group with some new guys
Speaker 3: out there. But they do have some vets. I'm not
Speaker 3: talking about KPJ, who someone has been calling a vet
Speaker 3: in my chat for a while now, like that is
Speaker 3: he a veteran, he's twenty four. He hasn't played in
Speaker 3: the season. I don't know about that one, chief, but
Speaker 3: this team is showing a lot of stability when they
Speaker 3: need to have it and a lot of poise under noise.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and this is a team that the way it's
Speaker 9: constructed right now, right they're gonna look really energetic in
Speaker 9: the beginning of the game and they're gonna kind of
Speaker 9: get leaned on, which we saw the Warriors lean on
Speaker 9: them a little bit. In that fourth there was kind
Speaker 9: of a there was a rough couple of possessions Tyler
Speaker 9: called the time out, but the way that they bounced back,
Speaker 9: I think it was Chris Dunn saved the ball out
Speaker 9: of bounds to get it to Derek Jones Junior, and
Speaker 9: then Dereck Jones kind of led the break. There's just
Speaker 9: these little spark plays that really helped this team, like
Speaker 9: you said, have poise under noise and stuff like that.
Speaker 9: So it's the way they're answering battles that we haven't.
Speaker 9: And maybe it's just because I was exhausted from, you know,
Speaker 9: the last season of the two on three experiment. This
Speaker 9: team cares a lot about their defensive reputation, not just
Speaker 9: about the whole thing. They care a lot about their
Speaker 9: defensive reputation when you have a lot of guys who
Speaker 9: aren't marquee guys and they all care about the same thing.
Speaker 9: That's how you get a very annoying team to try
Speaker 9: and run an offense again.
Speaker 3: There's this commitment to defense, and I think it stems
Speaker 3: from hashtag JVG for MVP. Guys don't want to let
Speaker 3: Jeff Fan Gundy down right now. That's what it feels like.
Speaker 3: There's something to play in for an og that everybody
Speaker 3: watched on TV new from Team USA. But a lot
Speaker 3: of these guys, you know, they don't have any connection
Speaker 3: to him really being a head coach or an assistant
Speaker 3: coach in this league. They know his reputation, they know
Speaker 3: what he brings with his fire coach lou While he
Speaker 3: does have some fires, sometimes he doesn't have it in
Speaker 3: the consistent way like the old school from v JVG. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I just love what he's brought already, and everybody loved
Speaker 3: him all. You know, coming into this season, we knew
Speaker 3: it would be impactful. I don't know if we knew
Speaker 3: would be this impactful this fast with these new defensive principles.
Speaker 9: It's the right away thing that gets me too, honestly,
Speaker 9: because I thought there's gonna be some growing pains for
Speaker 9: this when we saw in the preseason, But preseason basketball.
Speaker 9: You never, like you mentioned the Clippers offensive rating was
Speaker 9: sandwiched in between. I think it was the Blazers and
Speaker 9: the Piston in the preseason. But all of the pillars
Speaker 9: that they talked about, the stocks, the hustle, that all
Speaker 9: that stuff, it's there and it's been there from the beginning,
Speaker 9: and JVG will call you out. Jvg's not a coach
Speaker 9: like I don't think they want to get yelled at
Speaker 9: by him, and I think that's a great motivation, like
Speaker 9: this is. This is a team that wants to play
Speaker 9: for their coaches and for each other, and when you're
Speaker 9: a scrappy team, that's a great combination for for Clippers fans.
Speaker 9: And the personnel is just it's gelled very quickly. And
Speaker 9: I think part of that is due to Harden's leadership
Speaker 9: and all the great stuff we saw him doing the offseason.
Speaker 3: Yeah, James Harden's leadership has been big for this team.
Speaker 3: They start the season two and one, they win one
Speaker 3: twelve to one, oh four tonight over the Golden State Warriors.
Speaker 3: He's Chuck Mockler from Clips and Dip Fame Chuck. I
Speaker 3: think we got an episode coming up tomorrow night.
Speaker 9: We absolutely do I will be on Mountain time, but
Speaker 9: I will be there.

Speaker 6: Adam, how you doing. Long time? No here?
Speaker 3: It has been too long, my friend.
Speaker 6: You sound do you sound much better than you did
Speaker 6: last year when you had that little call. But you
Speaker 6: over it down too.
Speaker 3: If I wasn't over it by then, I might not
Speaker 3: even be here, you know.
Speaker 6: I mean I think you, I think you will. You're
Speaker 6: a tough You're a tough You're a tough cookie. Uh.
Speaker 6: But thanks for taking the call, Adam. I listened to
Speaker 6: the previous callers and everything. You know. We've really been Actually,
Speaker 6: I've been talking to a couple of guys on the staff,
Speaker 6: so I'm in tune with the staff and the whole nine.
Speaker 6: Not a few players on the on the team. And
Speaker 6: coming into the season when they made the transition to
Speaker 6: bring in Chris Dunn and and and and uh, the
Speaker 6: Chris Dunn and the other wing that they brought in
Speaker 6: from Dallas. Uh, the gentleman uh from Dallas. I was
Speaker 6: just explaining to everybody that this will be one of
Speaker 6: the top defensive teams in the league. I think that
Speaker 6: everybody had, you know, jumped off the bandwagon talking about
Speaker 6: they won't be a play in calling for people head
Speaker 6: to be cut off and people to be removed, and
Speaker 6: people don't understand that this Clipper team here now moving
Speaker 6: into their new dome, is really playing with a serious
Speaker 6: chip on their shoulder, especially with DJ, I mean VG
Speaker 6: Van Gandhi. He brings that nineteen eighty but high octane
Speaker 6: defense with this type of crew that he have, and
Speaker 6: I agree with you, Adam Zubay just having gotten a
Speaker 6: shot that he deserved. Everybody has been down on him.
Speaker 6: He's always been elitd Hey.
Speaker 3: I haven't been down on him. Hey, everybody, everybody. It's
Speaker 3: a faction of fans that are I'm gonna say it,
Speaker 3: they can have some casual moments by just assuming that,
Speaker 3: well of eacha. Zubas had broken hands his first year
Speaker 3: with the Clippers. He wasn't able to catch basketballs, so
Speaker 3: therefore he has bad hands. It's never been the case,
Speaker 3: like there's no actual data that proves this or else.
Speaker 3: He'd have like five turnovers a game.
Speaker 6: That's and that's correct. I think that kudos kudos to
Speaker 6: the team and ty Lu that really give him a shot.
Speaker 6: I think and I know of a situational basketball. But
Speaker 6: I'm just very hopeful and thankful now that they see
Speaker 6: that this guy is really leaked and I think that
Speaker 6: he's putting the league on notice. I think the league
Speaker 6: is starting to figure out that this guy is for real,
Speaker 6: elite on defense, eleite on offense, you know, in a
Speaker 6: transitional setting wherever you put him at, and so were
Speaker 6: excited to have him, and now they get the chance
Speaker 6: to see. I truly believe with anchoring this defense that
Speaker 6: again I said, they're going to be in the top three,
Speaker 6: and I think once Kawhi Leonard come back, which he
Speaker 6: will be back soon, you'll be surprised that they'll shake
Speaker 6: six more points off of that one oh four. I
Speaker 6: expect them to keep opponents right at ninety eight between
Speaker 6: ninety eight and one oh two a game. They're going
Speaker 6: to be stifling on defense. And like you said your
Speaker 6: previous callers, yes it's early, Yes, nobody know what they
Speaker 6: expect that it is Clipper team. But now everybody from
Speaker 6: MESPNS all the way around on five, everybody paid attention
Speaker 6: to this team. They're seeing this as not a fluke team.
Speaker 6: And they seeing that this team is coming to play
Speaker 6: every single night with a serious chip on their shoulder.
Speaker 6: And you better show up facing this Clipper team because
Speaker 6: when they get Kawhi back, there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 6: of embarrassment. Seriously, and I've been telling people this all
Speaker 6: the time. They've been playing real tough and rough, and
Speaker 6: you know in the fourth quarter they've been leaning on
Speaker 6: Pole and certain other situational players. But when they get that,
Speaker 6: when they get they guide back that can that can
Speaker 6: do it all. Look out. This team is is as
Speaker 6: good as any team in the NBA. And I know
Speaker 6: it's early. We have to be healthy. There's some things
Speaker 6: have to go our way. But I tell you what, Uh,
Speaker 6: they can't do nothing but get better. And that's scary
Speaker 6: for the rest of the league.
Speaker 3: HM. Great phone call to Metrius. It's good to have
Speaker 3: you back here on Clippers Talk. I love what you
Speaker 3: said about how they get Kawhi back and this team
Speaker 3: can be scary. The issue is we don't know when
Speaker 3: that could happen. It's still concerning that he's out indefinitely. Now.
Speaker 3: Is this team more than getting by right now with
Speaker 3: just two very good victories and their first back to
Speaker 3: back of the season. Oh yeah, Now they need to
Speaker 3: handle business against the Blazers on Wednesday, back and into
Speaker 3: a dome. More on that, we'll get your phone calls also.
Speaker 3: Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight
Speaker 3: six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 3: phone number here on Clippers Sock on AM five to
Speaker 3: seventy l Sports the.
Speaker 1: Clippers. You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball. Take us with
Speaker 1: you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3: Clippers went up North over the Golden State Warriors. They
Speaker 3: was stood three different runs, three different pushes. They pushed
Speaker 3: back and they pushed this thing across the finish line.
Speaker 3: They head back to into it Dome victorious on their
Speaker 3: first back to back, winning in Denver yesterday up north
Speaker 3: in San Francisco one twelve to one oh four over
Speaker 3: the Warriors.
Speaker 5: Today.
Speaker 3: I'm Adam Moslin. Welcome back into Clippers Talk final segment.
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll do some Clippers Talk after dark a little
Speaker 3: bit later on the YouTube side at Clippers Talk. But
Speaker 3: let's hear from Pam in Temple City. Pam, what's up
Speaker 3: here on clipperstock.
Speaker 10: And I'm awesome. It's nice to hear your voice. It's
Speaker 10: nice to have you back, you and Zach and the
Speaker 10: whole group. I couldn't call oute because I had dinner
Speaker 10: work and you wouldn't have been able to understand me.
Speaker 10: But you were mentioning about you, and I totally have
Speaker 10: been an agreement with you. But it's all God's timing.
Speaker 10: We have him now and he's shining and it's a
Speaker 10: wonderful thing. And also what you were mentioning about, you know,
Speaker 10: some of the time tonight being a little dicey, and
Speaker 10: I almost think that was a good thing, because you know,
Speaker 10: if they have an easy win, they don't learn as
Speaker 10: much as they do when they unfortunately love or when
Speaker 10: they have these dicey times. So you know, the fact
Speaker 10: that they had these dicey times tonight and got through
Speaker 10: them and came out of the victory, I just think
Speaker 10: that said even more. And I'm just excited and I
Speaker 10: just hope that he's going the where it's going. And
Speaker 10: I really appreciate you listening to me.
Speaker 6: Thank you, Pam.
Speaker 3: I appreciate the phone call here on Clippers Talk eight
Speaker 3: sixty six ninety eight seven two five seventy. In the
Speaker 3: chat right now, some are saying Lawrence Frank redemption. So far,
Speaker 3: Lawrence Frank didn't need any redemption, guys, because what he
Speaker 3: brought in guys that ended up having an insane amount
Speaker 3: of injuries that nobody could have foreseen. I told y'all
Speaker 3: all summer, I said, let Lawrence Frank cook if you
Speaker 3: follow me. At follow out of may On X, I
Speaker 3: was putting up some poorly photoshop pictures of like I
Speaker 3: don't know, Wolf getting Puck or somebody you know, over
Speaker 3: a fire cooking up this amazing meal with Lawrence Frank's
Speaker 3: face superimposed. Lawrence Frank knows what he's doing. There were
Speaker 3: restrictions and superstars who won Russell westbrook In that really
Speaker 3: didn't fit his plan, and sometimes you have to cater
Speaker 3: to those guys. Every team has done it. Lawrence Frank
Speaker 3: is on top of things. I told you that Sunday
Speaker 3: when free agency open, they're building a defensive team. And
Speaker 3: now you see it. Now you see it out there.
Speaker 3: Somebody else in the chat said, there's a rumor floating
Speaker 3: around that the Clippers could get Jordan Clarkson for PJ.
Speaker 5: Tucker.
Speaker 3: That is cap as. The kids say, why on earth
Speaker 3: would Utah giveaway Jordan Clarkson for PJ. Tucker? That is nonsense.
Speaker 3: I think they can do better than that, guys. I
Speaker 3: know Tucker has an expiring contract, but they can get
Speaker 3: something that they could use. This season for Jordan Clarkson,
Speaker 3: who's one of the best instant offense guys out there.
Speaker 3: Kevin Sone said Harden is the perfect catalyst for Zubats's development.
Speaker 3: Embeed got MVP next to James Harden. Joel embiid, this
Speaker 3: is true. Others are worried about Wednesday. Yonning Tears said,
Speaker 3: I think Portland is a trap game. Yeah, that's a concern.
Speaker 3: Can't look past him because they take on the Phoenix
Speaker 3: Suns the very next day. It into it Dome. Another
Speaker 3: back to back, two days off, back to back, two
Speaker 3: days off, back to back. That's how we start off
Speaker 3: this season pretty much. Mio said, if Kawhi comes back,
Speaker 3: does Zoos still get the same touches. Kawhi holds the
Speaker 3: ball just as much as Harden does and isn't anywhere
Speaker 3: near the creator. You know, he's not near the creator,
Speaker 3: but I think he's an underrated passer. In fact, one
Speaker 3: of the first games, the first game playing next to
Speaker 3: Avitza Zubots against the Lakers back in twenty nineteen opening
Speaker 3: night of the NBA season, he had a great feed
Speaker 3: and connection with the beats of Zubots. Immediately Kawhi Leonard
Speaker 3: I'm not worried about like we can't bring back Kawhi
Speaker 3: because that could slow the development of a Vista Zubats.
Speaker 3: If you can get Kawhi back, guys, he never makes
Speaker 3: a team worse. He has, if not the highest win
Speaker 3: percentage in NBA history in the regular season, it might
Speaker 3: be second. Come on, what are we talking about. My
Speaker 3: word with Kawhi is not him and what he can
Speaker 3: do on the court. It's just getting him back on
Speaker 3: the court. This Clippers team, though, getting by though right
Speaker 3: now without him, very impressively proud of this group. Clippers
Speaker 3: win one twelve to one oh four. They're two to one.
Speaker 3: They head back home. They're taking on Portland Wednesday night
Speaker 3: into a Dome tiptime at seven thirty. Pre game at
Speaker 3: six point thirty. Before we get out of here, I
Speaker 3: do want to thank the Clippers organization. Ralph Lawler, Brian Seeman,
Speaker 3: Noah Ego, Carlo Jimenez on the call in this one,
Speaker 3: big brother, Jake Warner, our head engineer and producer, Katie
Speaker 3: Newton back here in the bank, pulling all the highlights,
Speaker 3: making this whole thing run. If you want more, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'll do some Clippers talk after dark at Clippers Talk
Speaker 3: on YouTube. For those who just listen on the radio side,
Speaker 3: talk to you Wednsday at six point thirty.
