Speaker 1: The LA Clippers. The game is ended.
Speaker 2: Gather round boys, time to recap.
Speaker 1: But the post game coverage is just getting started.
Speaker 2: The successes the failure.
Speaker 3: Let's discuss.
Speaker 4: This is Clippers locker room breaking down today's action with
Speaker 4: the pre and post game voice of the Clippers.
Speaker 1: Here's that a moss led.
Speaker 5: The Clippers get Paul Georgia rude welcoming home. They went
Speaker 5: it into it. Don't big over their former teammate one
Speaker 5: ten to ninety eight. Welcome into your Clippers postgame show.
Speaker 5: This is Clippers' locker room. Coming up. We will have
Speaker 5: Clippers talk on a five seventy LA Sports if you
Speaker 5: want to get on early. Eight sixty six nine seven
Speaker 5: two five seventy eight sixty six nine eight seven two
Speaker 5: five seventy is the phone number where we are rejoined
Speaker 5: by your radio voice of the Clippers in Carlo Jimenez,
Speaker 5: Carlo Justice. Coach lu drew it up. This was even
Speaker 5: with some subpar performances shooting perform Ward says by a
Speaker 5: couple of stars that you expect to be better. The
Speaker 5: Clippers still had this game over with about three and
Speaker 5: a half minutes left. That was impressive.
Speaker 6: It was a comfortable confident group today, Adam, and a
Speaker 6: comfortable win is what they came away with. I mean,
Speaker 6: Philadelphia shoots fifty four percent today from the field, and
Speaker 6: the Clippers were in control the entirety of that fourth quarter.
Speaker 6: And impressive win for a group that's looking to build
Speaker 6: some momentum. And you mentioned it the San Antonio game,
Speaker 6: finding how they can win games with their defense. They
Speaker 6: forced twenty turnovers today and get twenty seven points off
Speaker 6: those twenty turnovers. I think Norman pal continues to be
Speaker 6: a shining star for this team. Twenty six points. It's
Speaker 6: almost at him becoming routine. I mean it really is.
Speaker 6: Are we gonna be hearing Game forty and saying Norman
Speaker 6: palen Ano their twenty point game. I hope so, because
Speaker 6: that's the way he has been playing for this Clipper team.
Speaker 6: And like you mentioned, James Harden doesn't have his best
Speaker 6: night and it's no problem. This Clipper team still comes
Speaker 6: away the victory. Coming into this season, you weren't sure it.
Speaker 6: James Harten was gonna have to play so well. He
Speaker 6: talked about a media day, a lot of this offense
Speaker 6: is going to be, in his words, a lot of
Speaker 6: him and it has been but at the same time,
Speaker 6: other guys continue to play well because of the gravity
Speaker 6: that is paid attention to him on the offensive end.
Speaker 6: The Clippers really finding their style through the last two
Speaker 6: games of this five game homestand.
Speaker 5: Yeah, other guys contributing a mere coffee and another double ditchit
Speaker 5: game off the bench, some key three pointers. It was
Speaker 5: down to a fifteen point game. It was getting a
Speaker 5: little bit sketchy in the fourth quarter. There's still plenty
Speaker 5: of time left. Amir comes in from Niko Batoom and
Speaker 5: immediately knocks down a three pointer in the far side corner.
Speaker 5: And the ball movement by this Clippers team twenty seven
Speaker 5: assists on their forty one made shots, just pristine tonight.
Speaker 5: I love the way they were moving it. I know
Speaker 5: there were a lot of turnovers. Some of them came
Speaker 5: an inconsequential time, but there were some great possessions when
Speaker 5: they had to execute late with those timeouts being called
Speaker 5: from coach lou He drew it up. They were able
Speaker 5: to deliver.
Speaker 6: They were able to deliver. The Clippers out of timeout
Speaker 6: plays were excellent. The vertical threat with Derek Jones Junior
Speaker 6: got him a couple of dunks, a mere coffee, an
Speaker 6: open corner three on one of them. The Clippers really
Speaker 6: executed late and that's why you see the assists number
Speaker 6: up to twenty seven today for this Clipper team. They
Speaker 6: moved the ball well on the offensive end, they got
Speaker 6: guys involved, and they were efficient. I mean this starting
Speaker 6: group Adham was super super efficient today. Only James Hard
Speaker 6: and Shapollo fifty percent on the ball game out of
Speaker 6: the five starters for the Clippers. They spread the wealth around,
Speaker 6: they made shouts when they were open, and they dominated.
Speaker 6: And they came in this game with a little bit
Speaker 6: of that chip on their shoulder. You could see it
Speaker 6: from the start. This team was playing hard, especially Norman Powell.
Speaker 6: I thought he was uber aggressive when he was matched
Speaker 6: up against Paul George, and he showed out with those
Speaker 6: twenty six points and six assists, matching a career high.
Speaker 5: Clippers a good win to build on.
Speaker 6: Now, you want to keep building on this win as
Speaker 6: you go to a Sacramento team that's sitting at fine
Speaker 6: and three to start the year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and as much as we've talked about Paul George
Speaker 5: in this one, the most important thing is that the
Speaker 5: Clippers got a victory against him. That's what this is about,
Speaker 5: right now, this Clippers team showing up and not turning
Speaker 5: it into just an individual battle out there. Well, we
Speaker 5: got some of that between him and Norm Powell in
Speaker 5: the second half. More importantly than that, the Clippers ended
Speaker 5: up with this big w They did get four turnovers
Speaker 5: from PG thirteen, who at one point, what was he
Speaker 5: four to four or five of five to start from
Speaker 5: the field. Yeah, he was spectacular. He hit a couple
Speaker 5: of tough shots on the fourth quarter right away over
Speaker 5: a double team with Chris Dunn and Niko Batoom. There
Speaker 5: aren't many tougher double teams that hit a shot over
Speaker 5: than that. Then another one over Chris Dunn. The offense
Speaker 5: was there, the beautiful jumper was there, but he only
Speaker 5: got up nine shots total in his twenty four minutes.
Speaker 5: Still seems to be on that minute restriction, and of
Speaker 5: course when the Clippers are up big like this, it
Speaker 5: kept him there. Yeah. So this Clippers team, you know,
Speaker 5: they won the battle and the war. You could say,
Speaker 5: in some ways they did it all in this one.
Speaker 5: They won the individual battle with Paul George being back,
Speaker 5: and they also took care of their business in just
Speaker 5: getting a great team victory.
Speaker 6: Yeah, two wins for them today. One hundred percent agree.
Speaker 6: They were able to keep Paul George for the most
Speaker 6: part in check and come away with a win in
Speaker 6: this one with those twenty seven assists. They were out
Speaker 6: rebound today, which is a new one for the Clippers,
Speaker 6: but fifty four points in the paint. That is the
Speaker 6: sixth game of seven games this season the Clippers finished
Speaker 6: with fifty plus points in the paint. They looked comfortable today, Adam,
Speaker 6: I think that's what stands out to me. The Clippers
Speaker 6: looked comfortable. They looked composed, They looked like they knew
Speaker 6: where they were going on the offensive end, and on
Speaker 6: the defensive end, they were in every passing lane. Anytime
Speaker 6: anybody drove, they double teamed him. I mean Tyrese Maxi
Speaker 6: finished this game with just twelve points and thirty one minutes.
Speaker 6: Took him thirteen shots to get to those twelve points
Speaker 6: and finish one for six from three. The Clippers made
Speaker 6: him a non factor today on the offensive end, a
Speaker 6: guy who was leading this team averaging thirty to start
Speaker 6: the season. And so we'll see if the Clippers can
Speaker 6: find a way to continue to disrupt excellent point guards
Speaker 6: you got another one in Deer and Fox over there
Speaker 6: at Sacramento, a good one for the Clippers at him,
Speaker 6: and you got more coming. But hopefully you continue to
Speaker 6: build here today.
Speaker 5: Clippers making the opposition uncomfortable. It's a great point by
Speaker 5: you taking away the head of the snake, really in
Speaker 5: Tyrese Maxi, who au had been a volume shooter so
Speaker 5: far this season, taking twenty five shots to get to
Speaker 5: the thirty points per game, still only getting up thirteen
Speaker 5: and thirty one minutes. The Clippers were doing a lot
Speaker 5: right out there. Their rotations were much more crisp. I
Speaker 5: thought that even early on when Philly started off hot
Speaker 5: from three, well, they ended up shooting just seven of
Speaker 5: twenty five from distance under thirty percent. So once again
Speaker 5: Clippers get a team shooting under thirty percent here and
Speaker 5: into it Dome that started off knocking some down. Did
Speaker 5: they have six three pointers in that first quarter?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Philly, I was just doing the math, lad Philly
Speaker 6: was fine for eleven after the first quarter and then
Speaker 6: went two for six thirteen, two or fourteen.
Speaker 5: Clippers brought out the monkey resh to turn off the
Speaker 5: water or whatever it was, the faucet on the fire
Speaker 5: hose that started things off or on the fire hydrant,
Speaker 5: I should say, just an unbelievable defensive effort after that
Speaker 5: first quarter. Holding a team again under one hundred points
Speaker 5: is special in today's league, especially Clippers win one, ten
Speaker 5: to ninety eight. They take down Paul George and the
Speaker 5: Philadelphia seventy six ers here at into a Dome. Clippers
Speaker 5: next one is Carlo mentioned up in sack Town tiptime
Speaker 5: for that one, same as tonight at seven pm from
Speaker 5: Golden One Center against the Kings. Well, if your pregame
Speaker 5: show starting right back here at six, Carlo, great call
Speaker 5: is always say flight up north, get some jim Boys, tacos,
Speaker 5: all right at them the local giving me the wreck,
Speaker 5: let's go. Coming up next, we got second half highlights.
Speaker 5: Clippers pull away with this one win big Hey, they
Speaker 5: don't all have to be close games. Glad to be
Speaker 5: wrong about that one. Clippers win one, ten to ninety
Speaker 5: eighth PG and the Philadelphia seventy six ers here and
Speaker 5: into it Dome. Clipper nation was on point tonight. Patch
Speaker 5: yourself on the back, especially everybody at the wall. More
Speaker 5: on that coming up here in the Clippers postgame show
Speaker 5: on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network throws it up.
Speaker 1: The window finishes in the fowl. Los Angeles Clipper Nation.
Speaker 1: This is your home for the LA Clippers. LA Clippers.
Speaker 1: Take us with you on the Ihearts radio.
Speaker 5: AIP Clippers win one ten to ninety eight. Here at
Speaker 5: Into It Dome. They get one off of PG now
Speaker 5: with the enemy playing for the Philadelphia seventy six ers,
Speaker 5: Paul George goes home a loser tonight. Everybody the wall
Speaker 5: was animated and into it. Every time he touched the ball,
Speaker 5: he was being booed. Clippernation. You showed up in a
Speaker 5: huge way in this one and performed. Paul George also
Speaker 5: was pretty good in the ballgame. You can't not say uh,
Speaker 5: outside the four turnovers, at least he wasn't seven of
Speaker 5: nine eighteen points, two of three from distance, hit some
Speaker 5: impossible shots, but who cares. Norman Powell was the best
Speaker 5: player out there in the court. Twenty six points on
Speaker 5: ten shots. Twenty six points on ten shot attempts is
Speaker 5: crazy efficiency. Why because he went six of eight from
Speaker 5: three guys. He's doing it over and over and over
Speaker 5: again right now. This is not looking like a fluke
Speaker 5: from Norman Powell. This is looking like a guy who's
Speaker 5: taking advantage of his opportunity. He just went five of
Speaker 5: eight last game against San Antonio from three, three of six.
Speaker 5: Before that, four of eleven, five of ten, seven of eleven.
Speaker 5: He's had two bad shooting games from the outside total,
Speaker 5: and just six really good games from three. He was
Speaker 5: shooting forty five percent from three heading into this one.
Speaker 5: That's only going up. He just hit seven twenty five
Speaker 5: percent of his attempts from three. Here it into a
Speaker 5: dome and outplayed Paul George. He said it addition by subtraction.
Speaker 5: He's backing up his talk right now. He is, and
Speaker 5: this Clippers team backed up a big victory where he
Speaker 5: wondered if they could carry over the momentum winning that
Speaker 5: game against San Antonio coming back down twenty six into
Speaker 5: tonight's ballgame. They did it worked. It wasn't perfect. They
Speaker 5: were down after the first quarter, but that third quarter
Speaker 5: they won it thirty three to seventeen, and in that
Speaker 5: third quarter Philly went oh of eight from three. The
Speaker 5: Clippers started cooking. Paul George had ten plus points in
Speaker 5: that third quarter. Didn't have a great game, and the
Speaker 5: Clippers still ran away with this one. It should be.
Speaker 5: James Harden had a great third quarter, even though he
Speaker 5: was just five or fifteen, one of six from three,
Speaker 5: just eighteen points, six assists to six turnovers, had a
Speaker 5: really bad one late, even with him looking tired. Here
Speaker 5: was James Harden in the third to the free throw line.
Speaker 6: He goes up a left hand off for one, knowing
Speaker 6: in Harden gets a buncket. Is first to the half
Speaker 6: to the free throw line. He goes up a left
Speaker 6: hand off for one doing in harding gets a buncket,
Speaker 6: is first to the half.
Speaker 5: Harden sounthrings into the front door.
Speaker 6: There's the left hand of the far wing. Next he
Speaker 6: comes to close hard and step back three hands it.
Speaker 5: James Harden had five points at the half he left
Speaker 5: the third quarter was seventeen. He had twelve points in
Speaker 5: that third quarter and really made a push the second
Speaker 5: half of the third. Clippers needed it. They led eighty
Speaker 5: four to sixty eight heading into the fourth, and they
Speaker 5: really never looked back. Timely shots and timely threes like these.
Speaker 5: The three's left the.
Speaker 6: Right norm step to right wing, three dampu X kicks
Speaker 6: it coffee left corner, three ferries it. What a dime
Speaker 6: from Norm as he sets up a mere coffee from
Speaker 6: that corner, finds coffee a left corner. Three thereri'es it
Speaker 6: a here coffee all chords, left corner of Norm. Pump
Speaker 6: fakes side step three ball bottoms. Norman Pale stairs to
Speaker 6: the bench of Philadelphia.
Speaker 5: Norman Palell sending a message. He can do this. He
Speaker 5: can be a consistent starter in this league for a
Speaker 5: winning ball club. That's what he's out to prove. Right
Speaker 5: now he's doing it. Clippers win one, ten to ninety
Speaker 5: eight over Paul George and the Philadelphia seventy six ers.
Speaker 5: Here and into a dome, quick time out. We'll come back.
Speaker 5: Remember we got Clippers talk coming up on a five
Speaker 5: seventy LA Sports. If you want to get on early
Speaker 5: eight sixty six nine eight seven two, five seventy is
Speaker 5: the phone number. I'm Adam Oslin, live from into a dome.
Speaker 5: After another great victory by this Clippers squad, can they
Speaker 5: turn it into a winning streak? Make it three in
Speaker 5: a row? We'll talk about that. They'll be in Sacktown
Speaker 5: on Friday. You're listening to Los Angeles Clippers Audio.
Speaker 2: Network throws it up.
Speaker 7: The window finishes in the fowl Los Angeles Slipper Nation.
Speaker 4: This is your home for the LA Clippers. LA Clippers,
Speaker 4: take us with you on the Ihearts radio app.
Speaker 5: Clippers win one, ten to ninety eight over Paul George
Speaker 5: and the Philadelphia seventy six ers. They send them home
Speaker 5: packing from home. I don't know where they're going next,
Speaker 5: but they're leaving the arena with the loss. They are
Speaker 5: one in six on the season. Clippers improved a four
Speaker 5: and four. Clippers shot the free throw as well. Sixteen
Speaker 5: of nineteen Clippers had five players in double figures scoring wise,
Speaker 5: seven players with two plus assists. That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 5: Twenty seven assists on forty one made shots is a
Speaker 5: very high assist percentage. This was special. I love this performance,
Speaker 5: even with the amount of turnovers and some sloppy play
Speaker 5: late by the young guys. Look, Paul George played well
Speaker 5: seven to nine shooting, had a team high or tied
Speaker 5: a team high of eighteen points for Philly. But they're
Speaker 5: one in six. Only twelve teams have made the playoffs
Speaker 5: since the NBA ABA merger after starting one for six,
Speaker 5: one and six Since nineteen seventy six, teams that start
Speaker 5: off the season one and six. Only twelve teams since
Speaker 5: nineteen seventy six have made the playoffs. I think Philly
Speaker 5: still will. I still think they have a great chance
Speaker 5: to be a top five team in the East. Once
Speaker 5: Embiid comes back. They might win at a seven hundred
Speaker 5: win percentage. They can turn this around quickly, and not
Speaker 5: all these teams had an opportunity to make it through
Speaker 5: the play and since it goes back to nineteen seventy six,
Speaker 5: but we aren't concerned about out them. It's about the
Speaker 5: Clippers and if they can get above five hundred with
Speaker 5: the victory Friday night up in Sacramento, taking on the Kings,
Speaker 5: a package of rival, a quality opponent on the road
Speaker 5: where they are too and zero so far on the road,
Speaker 5: Clippers improved a four and four. They win one, ten
Speaker 5: to ninety eight here into a dome at home, domes
Speaker 5: home over Paul George and the Philadelphia seventy six ers
Speaker 5: didn't look like any B team tonight, Lakers lost, Clippers won,
Speaker 5: Paul George's team lost because the Clippers won. Hmmm, more
Speaker 5: on that coming up on Clippers Talk. We'll get petty
Speaker 5: with it. Eight six six nine seven two five seventy
Speaker 5: is the phone number. Outside of Los Angeles. We were
Speaker 5: leaving you until Friday night. Clippers up in Sacramento taking
Speaker 5: on the Kings, tip off at seven pregame at six
Speaker 5: outside of LA, leaving you until then in LA. It's
Speaker 5: Clippers Talk next.
Speaker 1: And with that, just like that, another Clipper broadcast is ended.
Speaker 4: Jarding jud And this has been Clippers Locker Road, a
Speaker 4: postgame look at today's.

Speaker 1: Let me guess it's about Kawhi.
Speaker 2: Here we are and.
Speaker 4: Now here he is the host of your LA Clippers
Speaker 4: pre and postgame.
Speaker 2: At follow Adam a Adam Osley.
Speaker 5: Well, you know, if I was greaty Paul George's performance,
Speaker 5: i'd day was about a B B level performance. As
Speaker 5: he loses to the team he called the B team
Speaker 5: in LA, his former team in the Los Angeles Clippers.
Speaker 5: They win one, ten to ninety eight over pg's Philadelphia
Speaker 5: seventy six ers here and into it Dome, Welcome into
Speaker 5: Clippers Talk. I'm Adam Oslin feeling a little bit spicy
Speaker 5: to after this one with the signage I saw here,
Speaker 5: with the booing going on, with the Clippers gain the victory,
Speaker 5: and Norman Powell out playing Paul George the guy he
Speaker 5: is replacing in the starting lineup with his scoring production. Wow,
Speaker 5: we have a moment though. Let's pause ten seconds for
Speaker 5: station identification here on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network,
Speaker 5: this is.
Speaker 4: LA Clippers Basketball AM five to seventy KLAC Los Angeles,
Speaker 4: ninety eight seven KYSR HD two Los Angeles, and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 5: Eight six six ninety seven two five seventy eight sixty
Speaker 5: six ninety seven two five seventy is the phone number
Speaker 5: if you would like to get on people in the
Speaker 5: chat at Clippers Talk on the YouTube side saying I
Speaker 5: love that play when dun stole it from Paul George,
Speaker 5: even though Paul George hit a couple of ridiculous fadeaways
Speaker 5: to start the fourth quarter on Chris Don and one
Speaker 5: of them also with a double team with Niko Batoom there,
Speaker 5: even though he went seven to nine from the floor.
Speaker 5: He only had eighteen points, he had four turnovers. I
Speaker 5: thought he was okay. I thought I'd give it a B.
Speaker 5: That's my grade. A be for Paul George in this one,
Speaker 5: as in, you gotta be better against this Clippers team
Speaker 5: and this defense that just held the Philadelphia seventy six
Speaker 5: ers to ninety eight points. So Clipper Nation, you won
Speaker 5: the individual battle and you won the war winning the
Speaker 5: ballgame individual battle against Paul George. I knew this one
Speaker 5: meant a lot to you. And there was a tribute
Speaker 5: video early on. I heard a couple of booze, but
Speaker 5: mostly cheers, I would say during that, but every time
Speaker 5: Paul George touched the basketball, the wall was loud. It
Speaker 5: stood out. It was impressive. Now the signage, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Some might think it's out of pocket. I'm interested to
Speaker 5: hear if someone asked Paul George postgame about people holding
Speaker 5: up five huge poster boards that said peachee, think before
Speaker 5: you speak.
Speaker 3: Whoo.
Speaker 5: That is cold blooded. That is what happens, though, when
Speaker 5: you call your former team the B team, when you
Speaker 5: take shots at the organization, say you were stabbed in
Speaker 5: the back. I don't think he was ever stabbed in
Speaker 5: the back. I think they offered him one hundred and
Speaker 5: fifty million dollars and he didn't take it because he
Speaker 5: felt jilted that they offered it to Kawhi first and
Speaker 5: he did take it. If that's the case, Philly was
Speaker 5: always offering the max. He knew it was out there.
Speaker 5: He wonted no trade clause. That wasn't gonna happen either.
Speaker 5: They did not do him dirty. They treated him well.
Speaker 5: He had that performance in the bubble and they paid
Speaker 5: him right afterwards handsomely. Even after the performance against Dallas
Speaker 5: and Derek Jones j in the first round this past season,
Speaker 5: they still were offering the one fifty. I don't think
Speaker 5: there's anyone in a position to complain there if I'm
Speaker 5: in Paul George's camp. Yet it happened, So you get
Speaker 5: it out of your system and there will come a
Speaker 5: time where you're gonna look back at this and say, hey,
Speaker 5: he was an all time great Clipper, top five clipper ever.
Speaker 5: Helped them get to the Western Conference Finals for the
Speaker 5: first time tonight. Though I get the energy everybody was
Speaker 5: coming with, I have mixed feelings. I ended up seeing
Speaker 5: the tribute video early as I was here, you know,
Speaker 5: three hours before the game, and I got a little
Speaker 5: bit emotional just thinking of that run, thinking of Paul
Speaker 5: George stepping up in Game five against Utah and what
Speaker 5: he was able to do without Kawhi Leonard when everybody
Speaker 5: thought he was going to fail. Coming off of what
Speaker 5: happened in the Bubble, the Bubble Bubble La Pizza I
Speaker 5: did it made me nostalgic. I was thinking about Noah
Speaker 5: eaglesum big brother, Jake Warner. He's still a part of
Speaker 5: the TM squad here with the Clippers. That was a
Speaker 5: special run Reggie Jackson's on Philly. So all this stuff
Speaker 5: is creating some conflicting thoughts and emotions tonight. But in
Speaker 5: the end, all I care about is getting that W
Speaker 5: and the Clippers being able to hold Paul George down
Speaker 5: enough four turnovers, and there were some bad ones, a
Speaker 5: mere Coffee hitting a big three pointer in the far
Speaker 5: side corner on PG. Thirteen in the fourth quarter as
Speaker 5: he was cheating defensively, they caught him. And how about
Speaker 5: the guy who's taking over and picking up the slack
Speaker 5: without Paul George, Norman Storman Powell, Are you kidding me?
Speaker 5: Look at the three point shooting the last two games,
Speaker 5: make it three, make it four, make it five, make
Speaker 5: it make sense. Six of eight tonight five of eight,
Speaker 5: last game three of six before that, four of eleven,
Speaker 5: five of ten. Like he is on a heater. He
Speaker 5: was shooting forty five percent from three heading into this one,
Speaker 5: and he just went seventy five percent from three on
Speaker 5: six of eight shooting. And I think there was a
Speaker 5: little something extra between him and Paul George. Did you
Speaker 5: see some of those head to head possessions out there
Speaker 5: where they reguarding each other. They both exchanged fouls in
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter. But norm Pal had six assists, and
Speaker 5: I think it was the best game passing wise from
Speaker 5: norm Pal in his Clippers tenure, I really do. He
Speaker 5: had a between the legs pass in traffic. He went
Speaker 5: between the legs and then had a kickout to the
Speaker 5: near side corner in the third quarter to Terrence Man
Speaker 5: for a three, and then a few possessions later he
Speaker 5: found airplane mode skying for a right handed hammer dunk
Speaker 5: on an oop from Norman Powell. The passing is the
Speaker 5: best I've ever seen it. Impressive. We heard about this
Speaker 5: part of his game. He had been working on it
Speaker 5: more responsibility when it comes to playmaking, guys, Norman Powell
Speaker 5: is backing up his talk when people would say often
Speaker 5: Paul George wasn't backing up his I'm gonna be on
Speaker 5: my bully stuff. Norman Palell said him leaving was additioned
Speaker 5: by subtraction, and he's backing it up. That's what's happening
Speaker 5: right now. That's what has materialized for this Clippers team.
Speaker 5: Normous playing like a damn All Star. I said early
Speaker 5: on in the game, I said, get Norman Palell into
Speaker 5: the three point Contest. Forget that, get him into the
Speaker 5: All Star Game. If he keeps playing like this, do both.
Speaker 5: He should have been in the three point Contest last season.
Speaker 5: He shot forty four percent from three. That doesn't make
Speaker 5: any sense. Why wasn't he invited? He was one of
Speaker 5: the best. Norman Powell is a badass and he was
Speaker 5: here to perform and prove something. Tonight, we'll take a
Speaker 5: quick time out. We'll get your phone calls. Eight sixty six,
Speaker 5: nine eighty seven two five seventy eight sixty six, nine
Speaker 5: eighty seven two five seventy. Clippers win one ten to
Speaker 5: ninety eight over the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Hear it
Speaker 5: into it dome. Paul George starts off his post Clippers
Speaker 5: late career resume with an l to his former team.
Speaker 5: It was just a beat level performance, that's what I
Speaker 5: saw from him. I don't know, maybe I got to
Speaker 5: review the tape. Be team with the win one ten
Speaker 5: to ninety eight over the Sixers. And you're listening to

Speaker 8: not really a fluke, especially at three point shooting. An
Speaker 8: even last year we thought that, or at least you
Speaker 8: and I were talking about last year, that he should
Speaker 8: have been in the three point contest, and he's only
Speaker 8: furthering that point right now. And it's kind of crazy.
Speaker 8: Every time he shoots the ball, Aren't you thinking it's
Speaker 8: going to go in right every time? And this is like,
Speaker 8: we're surprised.
Speaker 5: So he's twenty three for his last forty three from
Speaker 5: three tages, twenty three for his last forty three from three.
Speaker 5: That's fifty three percent.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and if he you know, and he's going to
Speaker 8: continue probably this hot shooting like this crazy, but he
Speaker 8: can give you twenty a game, and he's proving that.
Speaker 8: So when Kawi comes back, they still have three twenty
Speaker 8: point scores out there at any given time with hard.
Speaker 5: All the time stages. His name has been brought up
Speaker 5: in trade talks. I'm guilty of this too, you know.
Speaker 5: Over the last two summers, people have brought up trading
Speaker 5: Norman Powell, like, well, maybe you can get something from
Speaker 5: Norman Powell. That's been the guy's name who's been thrown around,
Speaker 5: and he looks as indispensable as ever now.
Speaker 8: I don't think we have a win without him right now.
Speaker 8: But as far as Paul George and you know, uh,
Speaker 8: I kind of have some Mike feeling just like you
Speaker 8: about him. Yeah, it's you know, I always said that
Speaker 8: his greatest shot as a Clipper came Game five, Utah,
Speaker 8: with like a minute forty left. We were up four
Speaker 8: and he has it and one on Roy Sanio and
Speaker 8: that shot kind of basically locked us in for a
Speaker 8: game six. To me, that was the greatest, his greatest
Speaker 8: Clipper shot. It had the most meaning behind it. But
Speaker 8: as far as him, like, you know, when he was
Speaker 8: a Clipper, we always heard from him after a bad game.
Speaker 8: During that time, he would take responsibility, you know that
Speaker 8: he you know, he should played better than that sort
Speaker 8: of thing. But then during the summers he always kind
Speaker 8: of went away from that, and whether it was a
Speaker 8: coaching or needing a point guard or something else, he
Speaker 8: never owned it. And it was just a lot of
Speaker 8: you know, to mix emotions with him. But what I think,
Speaker 8: you know, he obviously made the best business decision, and
Speaker 8: we made the best decision as a franchise. Now, I also,
Speaker 8: you know, I heard a lot of things, but I
Speaker 8: haven't really heard anyone talk about you know, during this
Speaker 8: whole process of negotiations, Jerry West was part of it
Speaker 8: and it was only to end like when he just
Speaker 8: passed away, probably a month before he signed. I think
Speaker 8: Jerry West was probably on board of you know, not
Speaker 8: offering him, you know, exactly what he wanted or yeah,
Speaker 8: go trade close or whatever it was. The front office
Speaker 8: had the blessing to Jerry West of what to do,
Speaker 8: and I could take good, take solace in that knowing
Speaker 8: that you know, Jerry West was also being the visionary
Speaker 8: that he was and judging of talent and how much
Speaker 8: he had left what made sense for the franchise moving forward.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I get it to just I think that's
Speaker 5: a fabulous point. I think that is well put that
Speaker 5: Jerry West was still that big voice in the room
Speaker 5: with a lot of weight when it came to those
Speaker 5: discussions of what to do about Paul George. So I
Speaker 5: appreciate the phone call my friend good insight as always,
Speaker 5: but this Clippers team, like, I'm not going off this
Speaker 5: one game to say it was the right decision, like
Speaker 5: to pay two hundred million. So you're over the second apron.
Speaker 5: You stay over it too long, you can have your
Speaker 5: picks frozen or put to the back of the line,
Speaker 5: your first round picks when they get them back. That's
Speaker 5: very concerning. You also couldn't have Chris Done on this team.
Speaker 5: You couldn't have Nico back on this team. You couldn't
Speaker 5: have Derreck Jones Junior back on this team. They have
Speaker 5: a ton of flexibility moving forward because when people say
Speaker 5: and it's so foolish to say, and I heard Draymond
Speaker 5: Green say it, and maybe he's biased because he wanted
Speaker 5: Paul George be a Golden State Warrior, but he acted like, well,
Speaker 5: they got nothing for Paul George. Wrong. They got under
Speaker 5: the first apron because he left. That got them Derreck
Speaker 5: Jones Jr. That got them, Chris Done, that got them,
Speaker 5: Nico Batoom. You think those guys didn't impact the games tonight,
Speaker 5: think Derek Jones Jr. And his fourteen points on five
Speaker 5: of six shooting, a big three, couple of huge dunks
Speaker 5: didn't impact the game. You think Nico Batoom a plus
Speaker 5: eleven in his twenty minutes, seven points, knock down a
Speaker 5: three pointer, big jumper when they needed actually also to answer,
Speaker 5: I think it was one from Paul George. You think
Speaker 5: Chris Donne and his defense hasn't been huge. He was
Speaker 5: a plus seventeen and eighteen minutes, like hounding Paul George,
Speaker 5: even though he hit a couple of those shots. I'm
Speaker 5: hearing people say, well, you guys are lucky Paul George
Speaker 5: couldn't play more. It's like, wait a second, he only
Speaker 5: got up nine shots. Guys, he got up nine shots
Speaker 5: in twenty four minutes. Maybe he would have played more
Speaker 5: if the game was closer. They did a good job
Speaker 5: denying him getting up more shots, or at least he
Speaker 5: just wasn't aggressive enough. What are we talking about? You're
Speaker 5: lucky Paul George didn't play more, He didn't win his minutes.
Speaker 5: He was a minus eleven in his twenty four minutes.
Speaker 5: They'll see each other in three weeks. I'm sure Paul George,
Speaker 5: we'll have something to say in that game if they're
Speaker 5: fully loaded, especially with Joe Ellenbiid. But tonight, I know
Speaker 5: Clipper name is feeling good? Quick time out eight sixty
Speaker 5: six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight sixty six
Speaker 5: ninety seven two five seventy is the phone number. You're
Speaker 5: listening to Clippers Talk on AM five to seventy LA
Speaker 5: Sports throws.
Speaker 7: It up the window finishes in the foul Los Angeles
Speaker 7: Slipper Nation.
Speaker 1: This is your home for the LA Clippers. LA Clippers.
Speaker 1: Take us with you on the Ihearts RADIOIP ninety.
Speaker 5: Eight over Paul George and the Philadelphia seventy six ers.
Speaker 5: Hear it into it Dome, Welcome back in. I'm out
Speaker 5: of Maslin. This is Clippers Talk. Whether you're listening on
Speaker 5: AM five seventy LA Sports or on the YouTube side
Speaker 5: at Clippers Talk. I appreciate you here. You hear the music.
Speaker 5: You know what's up next? Big will Updyke After a
Speaker 5: huge win for the Clippers over Paul George Will how
Speaker 5: you feeling after this one?
Speaker 3: Man? I could get used to this fishing a game
Speaker 3: without clutch time? Are you kidding me? Back to back wins?
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Loving it?
Speaker 5: How about that last two wins didn't even end up
Speaker 5: in clutch time and this one was over with about
Speaker 5: three and a half minutes left. Coach luculd comfortably pull
Speaker 5: the starters, even for some bad minutes for the backups.
Speaker 5: But we thought, you know, they're gonna have to play
Speaker 5: close games all year.
Speaker 1: I guess not in this one, right, No, not in
Speaker 1: this one at all.
Speaker 5: So the Paul George situation, I got people in the
Speaker 5: chat acting like he had a great game because he
Speaker 5: went seven of nine. I gave him a B for
Speaker 5: this game. I'm giving him a B. It was a
Speaker 5: B level game for Paul George. I may be taking
Speaker 5: a shot there with his B team comment. I thought
Speaker 5: he was fine. He hit some really tough shots, but
Speaker 5: he only got up nine. So I think the Clippers
Speaker 5: did their job.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, I would agree one hundred percent. Look,
Speaker 3: it was if you're a Clippers fan, I believe it
Speaker 3: started with a turnover. It was. It was very much,
Speaker 3: but we're kind of used to seeing and again, still
Speaker 3: still some high still very efficient offensively, maybe not maybe
Speaker 3: not the greatest performance, but it is only the second
Speaker 3: game with them, you know. I'm not gonna rag on
Speaker 3: too hard on that, but I did like the way
Speaker 3: that the fans got every everybody involved. They were very lively.
Speaker 3: That's gotta be one of the more lively returns of
Speaker 3: a player I've ever seen. And he still got his
Speaker 3: flowers though during the tribute video, even if there was
Speaker 3: a little where's Paul though reference, which I thought was
Speaker 3: just the icing on the cake.
Speaker 5: I mean, he wore the costume like he loved it.
Speaker 5: If he couldn't realize that they were showing off the
Speaker 5: fun side of Paul George, that's the way I took that. Now,
Speaker 5: there's some comments postgame from Paul George. First on into
Speaker 5: a dome, he said, quote, it was great. I wish
Speaker 5: it would have been a little bit more packed out.
Speaker 5: I didn't think it was quite packed for this.
Speaker 1: Own.
Speaker 5: Now on the Booze, Regardless, Booze, you.
Speaker 3: Haven't checked these quotes. I one of the great joys
Speaker 3: of this season has not been having to watch Paul
Speaker 3: George put his foot in his mouth.
Speaker 5: Here we go Paul George's postgame on the Booze quote.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's stupid. I was a free agent. It
Speaker 5: wasn't something that I demanded a trade or win against
Speaker 5: the team. There were cheers. I appreciate them. Those were
Speaker 5: the ones I played hard for the booze I didn't
Speaker 5: get it. I don't think he realizes that he dug
Speaker 5: his own grave when he called them the B team,
Speaker 5: when he said he was stabbed in the back. You
Speaker 5: talk out of both sides of your mouth enough. People
Speaker 5: aren't gonna forget that. And did you see the sign
Speaker 5: that was out there tonight, Will did you see the
Speaker 5: signage that was there saying PG I think before you speak,
Speaker 5: that was whoa. That was cold, that was harsh.
Speaker 3: It's brilliant advice that he will never heed. But uh,
Speaker 3: it's I mean, that's the thing, right, Like had he gone,
Speaker 3: you know, it was it was like a you know,
Speaker 3: like a slow moving train wreck or something. The whole season,
Speaker 3: like we knew that this was We knew as these
Speaker 3: conversations about the extension continued to stall, this was more
Speaker 3: than not where likely where we were headed. And I
Speaker 3: think that had it just been that, it would have
Speaker 3: been fine. It would not have been a big deal.
Speaker 3: He's the one who had to editorialize the whole thing
Speaker 3: and like put as a whole spin And it's always
Speaker 3: somebody else's fault, never has anything to do with Paul George.
Speaker 3: He's only ever doing the right thing. And I think
Speaker 3: that's like what really gets the people because like, had
Speaker 3: it just been as simple as that, like, man, we
Speaker 3: get it, seventy million dollars, No, like that, that's not
Speaker 3: an incomprehensible difference there in terms of what you could
Speaker 3: stand to make, especially if it's going to be your
Speaker 3: last big contract. I just don't think there would have
Speaker 3: been any hard feelings about that. It's just the way
Speaker 3: that he has to It's just the way that he
Speaker 3: has to put spin on everything. But I think just
Speaker 3: gets really tiring, especially as someone who or I'm not
Speaker 3: even just myself, but all the fans who followed him
Speaker 3: so closely, who were so excited for this pairing, and
Speaker 3: you know, through no fault of either of their own
Speaker 3: for the most part, because most of it is injuries.
Speaker 3: There were some roster things that we're not gonna have
Speaker 3: to dig into right now, but you know, for the
Speaker 3: most part, not his fault. And for people who did
Speaker 3: follow him so close and did stick up for him
Speaker 3: through a lot of stuff. Man, Like I've been at
Speaker 3: it with some people who had some backboard shots, you know,
Speaker 3: who keep bringing up the backboard shot thing from the bubble,
Speaker 3: even though even with the incredible playoffs that he had
Speaker 3: following that, But it just gets to a point, man
Speaker 3: where it's like, I can't do this anymore, and I
Speaker 3: think the fans have kind of had enough. He kind
Speaker 3: of drove, he drugged this fan base on the way out,
Speaker 3: and it's not like he gave us the easiest time
Speaker 3: while he was here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I completely understand, and you can back up a
Speaker 5: lot of what you're saying here Clippers Talk. It's a
Speaker 5: big will Updyke from the Cliffs and podcast after the
Speaker 5: Slippers win one ten to ninety eight here and into
Speaker 5: it Dome over Paul George and the Philadelphia seventy six ers.
Speaker 5: As I realized he's signed into the link as well. Here,
Speaker 5: we'll bring him in so you guys can see him
Speaker 5: on the video side. I know right now you might
Speaker 5: not be able to hear him if you're watching at
Speaker 5: Clipper's Top, but if you're listening on a five seventy
Speaker 5: LA Sports, he's coming through loud and clear. And how
Speaker 5: about Norman Storman Pale. Now, some people didn't want to
Speaker 5: see him in the starting lineup, but I'm not going
Speaker 5: to go there. I'm going to talk about Norman Powell
Speaker 5: and how efficient he's been.
Speaker 1: He already did.
Speaker 5: I'm he's making up for the production lost and then
Speaker 5: some with Paul George with his efficiency right now, it
Speaker 5: has been incredible.
Speaker 3: Will Oh, yeah, it's been unreal, especially with James Harden's
Speaker 3: struggles just from an efficiency standpoint. You know, he's still
Speaker 3: he's still got gotten around to getting numbers up there
Speaker 3: more often than not. But uh, yeah, he's been absolutely essential.
Speaker 3: And you know, we talked a little bit about how
Speaker 3: you know, there was some criticism already coming down on
Speaker 3: tylu about like what how can we have stints of
Speaker 3: this team as currently constructed without one of Norm Powell
Speaker 3: or James Harden on the floor. That's just how quickly
Speaker 3: the conversation changed from should he even be in the
Speaker 3: starting lineup?
Speaker 5: Too?
Speaker 3: What are we doing without Norm Powell on the floor
Speaker 3: at any given time? So I think it's absolutely incredible
Speaker 3: and this is not it's not unexpected, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean. Like he was he was always a guy
Speaker 3: that if you get if you gave him a little
Speaker 3: bit larger of a role, he was gonna be able
Speaker 3: to still that. It's like a goldfish, you know, they
Speaker 3: can grow to the size of the enclosure. I think
Speaker 3: something like that. Uh, but you know, you get you
Speaker 3: give him, you give him a brighter spotlight, He's gonna
Speaker 3: shine brighter. And I think that he is gonna easily
Speaker 3: average twenty plus points this season. Uh, the efficiency probably
Speaker 3: won't continue with the same absurd clip that it's at
Speaker 3: right now. But we also got to talk about how
Speaker 3: you know, I was concerned about the size. I think
Speaker 3: what we've seen from him on the defensive end of
Speaker 3: the floor in terms of like just effort and ground
Speaker 3: covered quite frankly, has also been pretty impressive. I mean,
Speaker 3: he is not like, he's not a slouch in that area,
Speaker 3: and everybody across this team is overperforming. You're looking at
Speaker 3: the second ranked defense in the NBA right now, and
Speaker 3: given once again, given the size constraints, I still do
Speaker 3: think that that is pretty damn impressive. That's basically one,
Speaker 3: all right, in my book, that is one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a play in the fourth quarter where
Speaker 5: he died up Paul George hard. A foul was called
Speaker 5: on Norm pal and coach lou was clapping for him,
Speaker 5: loving the aggressive defense there. That individual battle was fun
Speaker 5: to watch in this one was fault Paul George. Then
Speaker 5: fouled him on the other end right afterwards, but he
Speaker 5: is will Apdyke from Cliffs and Dip fame. Will thanks
Speaker 5: for doing this tonight after a huge victory for Clippernation
Speaker 5: in many ways. Thanks for coming on.
Speaker 3: Yeah absolutely, I hope to be back on after the
Speaker 3: boys are in Sacramento and then again on the back
Speaker 3: to back when they're calm Saturday night. So let's go clip.
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me.
Speaker 5: Body Will only comes on after W's If you didn't
Speaker 5: know it's in his contract, well take a quick time out,
Speaker 5: Oh come back. Eight six six ninety seven, two five
Speaker 5: seventy is the phone number Clippers take down Paul George
Speaker 5: and the seventy six ers one ten to ninety eight.
Speaker 5: Hear it into a dome and you're listening to the
Speaker 5: Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network in the M five to seventy,
Speaker 5: LA Sports throws.
Speaker 7: It up the window finishes in the fowl Los Angeles
Speaker 7: Slipper Nation.
Speaker 4: This is your home for the LA Clippers. LA Clippers
Speaker 4: take us with you on the Ihearts radio app.
Speaker 5: Win one tens to ninety eight. Back to back victories
Speaker 5: here and into it dome. We wondered what would happen
Speaker 5: after coming back down twenty six. Can the Clippers make
Speaker 5: it a winning streak? Winning up North against the Kings
Speaker 5: on Friday night would do that, But they beat Paul
Speaker 5: George in the seventy six Ers one ten to ninety
Speaker 5: eight here tonight, as some people in the chat still
Speaker 5: can't realize that if they had Paul George on the team,
Speaker 5: they wouldn't have been able to do the sign and
Speaker 5: trade for Chris Dunn when they trade Russell Westbrook back
Speaker 5: to Utah again, just to make the point of not
Speaker 5: signing Paul George and what it was able to do
Speaker 5: for the team, because they were under the first apron.
Speaker 5: With Paul George, they'd be over the second apron. Therefore,
Speaker 5: they wouldn't have been able to do that sign and
Speaker 5: trade for Chris Dunn. Some people in the chat can't
Speaker 5: understand that, so they're having a hard time tonight. They're
Speaker 5: having a hard time tonight. But that's okay. We keep moving.
Speaker 5: It's not about that people in the struggle. Clippers are
Speaker 5: not Clippers win one ten to ninety eight over the
Speaker 5: Philadelphia seventy six Ers. Proud of this team bouncing back
Speaker 5: after losing three in a row and it was a
Speaker 5: gut check time down twenty six against San Antonio on Monday.
Speaker 5: Wondered if something would be born out of that. We'll
Speaker 5: see love the effort tonight, love seeing a victory over PG. Well,
Speaker 5: I still will have fond memories of and we'll appreciate
Speaker 5: for his time as a Clipper, and when all things
Speaker 5: are said and done, we'll be talking about him being
Speaker 5: a top five Clipper of all time. But tonight, this
Speaker 5: Clippers team, they got the victory. That's what's important. Before
