Speaker 1: You know what, just throwing up to Sky Jones and uh,
Speaker 1: let's get this Clippers team back, get into it until.
Speaker 2: On Monday ninety nine, all the Clippers trying to come
Speaker 2: away with a win in the preseason contest here in Seattle,
Speaker 2: Williams to end out four point two to play a
Speaker 2: bucket and the Clippers lead, Williams gotta throw it in
Speaker 2: Fines Miller a.
Speaker 3: Taxa lay lop the two point to the play.
Speaker 4: Time out Portland.
Speaker 3: Start Jones with that Hipper Clippers with.
Speaker 1: The lead on ninety nine, that would be your final
Speaker 1: Clipper Nations. They got the stop on the other end
Speaker 1: and Kai Jones with the game winning oop off the
Speaker 1: pass from Jordan Miller. Carlo Jamenez on the call, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're like that sometimes. Welcome into your post game show.
Speaker 1: I've got a Moslin coming up. We'll get to your
Speaker 1: post game box score, some more highlights for you, but
Speaker 1: first back to Seattle after the Clippers win by two
Speaker 1: over the Portland trail Blazers. Will rejoin by your radio
Speaker 1: voice of the Clippers in Carlo Jimenez. Carlo, I don't
Speaker 1: know if we have a connection to coach Lou and
Speaker 1: the coaching staff. I don't know if we're being spied on,
Speaker 1: but we asked for it and we received it. As
Speaker 1: kai Jones received that love from Jordan Miller on the
Speaker 1: game winning play.
Speaker 2: I mean, Adam, let's be honest, you deserve all the credit.
Speaker 2: And you literally called it before it happened. You literally said,
Speaker 2: let's just lob it to Sky Jones, get out of here.
Speaker 4: And what do they do.
Speaker 2: They throw it up to kai Jones and he yams
Speaker 2: that thing and they win the game. But I don't
Speaker 2: know if you want to tell me the lottery winning numbers.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm here in Seattle.
Speaker 2: Supposedly a lot of people win the lottery from the
Speaker 2: state of Washington. I'd love those numbers if you could
Speaker 2: send him my way.
Speaker 4: But what a fun.
Speaker 2: Game, What a great game by this Clipper team. And
Speaker 2: more importantly, Adam Our chemistry is is a one right
Speaker 2: now and it's preseason basketball.
Speaker 1: That was fun mid season formed from us and kai
Speaker 1: Jones right now is the story. We talked about him
Speaker 1: a lot in the pregame show. He was by player
Speaker 1: to watch. I didn't know it would be this dramatic.
Speaker 1: Late we talked about his defense and what he was
Speaker 1: able to do but the lobs came of plenty as
Speaker 1: soon as Williams got into the ball game. He saw
Speaker 1: he was looking for Kai Jones early and off, and
Speaker 1: the pick and roll was there as well, and he
Speaker 1: was rolling to the basket with force while getting five
Speaker 1: blocks on the other end. And he may just have
Speaker 1: wrapped up that two way contract, the last one the
Speaker 1: Clippers have.
Speaker 4: I mean, there's no doubt in my mind.
Speaker 2: A Donnis Williams has been so good and probably made
Speaker 2: the Clippers think.
Speaker 4: About it a little bit more than they thought.
Speaker 2: But after today's game, and with the continued injury to Mobamba,
Speaker 2: you just I don't think you can really realistically give
Speaker 2: it to anyone else. With the way Kai Jones have
Speaker 2: been playing, he was more disciplined today, he was more comfortable.
Speaker 2: And we talked about this after the Golden State game
Speaker 2: and after we are critical of him, but he hasn't
Speaker 2: played basketball in over a year, in over a year,
Speaker 2: so that this is his third game, he's already looking
Speaker 2: this comfortable.
Speaker 4: He's understanding his roles now. It's not to say it
Speaker 4: was perfect.
Speaker 2: Him and James Harden a little bit got into it
Speaker 2: when he was trying to set a screen high at
Speaker 2: the three at the half.
Speaker 4: Court line, Harden didn't want the screen.
Speaker 2: They're still learning to do, but there is so much
Speaker 2: potential here and you see why Kai Jones, when he
Speaker 2: was brought over from the Clippers, said in his press
Speaker 2: conference at the end of the year, this is the
Speaker 2: best opportunity I've ever had, and he is.
Speaker 4: Making the most of that opportunity right now.
Speaker 1: I am happy for the young man. He's taken advantage
Speaker 1: of the opportunity. And you're seeing this Clippers team late
Speaker 1: with the young guys just continue to play connected basketball
Speaker 1: and impose their will. I love the way Jordan Miller.
Speaker 1: The way that lob was set up is because he
Speaker 1: was getting downhill getting to the basket with the little
Speaker 1: southpaw floaters, he was able to hit down the stretch.
Speaker 1: In this game, the defense had to bring more attention
Speaker 1: his way and he was able to find Kaijils, But
Speaker 1: Kobe Brown had his moments. Cam Christy comes in late
Speaker 1: and immediately gets a steal and an easy layup Duck.
Speaker 1: On the other end, Williams plays well again. When it
Speaker 1: was winning time, the Clippers knew they had to take over,
Speaker 1: and the young guys played a really sound brand of
Speaker 1: basketball that is wise beyond their ears. You don't typically
Speaker 1: get in the preseason, specifically from young players like this.
Speaker 2: No, a poised group who didn't make many mistakes down
Speaker 2: the stretch, who shared the basketball, who ran in transition,
Speaker 2: who played to their strengths, I mean Adam For three
Speaker 2: or four minutes there, the Clippers had Kobe Brown is
Speaker 2: their five, and it wasn't like Portland was getting offensive
Speaker 2: rebounds every single time down despite having Dwop Wreath and
Speaker 2: Jabari Walker on the floor, both guys who measure at
Speaker 2: six eleven and six nine. Kobe Brown is six to seven.
Speaker 2: But the rebounding battle was even in those minutes. A
Speaker 2: group that just played so well it seems to find
Speaker 2: their chemistry. And again, I mean we say it all
Speaker 2: the time on this broadcast now, but San Diego Clippers
Speaker 2: are going to be a show. That is going to
Speaker 2: be a fun group of G leaguers to go watch
Speaker 2: night in and nine out. How about Elijah Harkless at
Speaker 2: him up three with fifty seconds left, he cans a
Speaker 2: corner three. Talk about the gumption. He hasn't played all preseason.
Speaker 4: And he nails that one. Signed on Wednesday.
Speaker 2: So fun, Such a good environment here in Seattle, and
Speaker 2: the play really reflected how awesome these fans are because
Speaker 2: they were into it. They were into it the entire game.
Speaker 2: Such an exciting ran of basketball to watch, and they
Speaker 2: brought the energy and the intensity and I think made
Speaker 2: this feel like a regular season contest down the stretch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the young guys pulled him through the starters, though.
Speaker 1: I love the way they got this game going with
Speaker 1: those long outlet passes, dimes from James Hard and we
Speaker 1: saw one from KPJ as well. That's a style of
Speaker 1: basketball the Clippers are trying to embrace. Tonight was a
Speaker 1: good showcase of what they can be in that area.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Look, James Arden is a big Niner fan, and I
Speaker 2: don't know if he took anything from Rock Perdy yesterday
Speaker 2: he went and watched them play, but he was throwing
Speaker 2: some touchdowns that were fifty plus feet down the floor
Speaker 2: to his guys. I mean, it was impressive the dimes
Speaker 2: that he was thrown out there.
Speaker 4: I don't think anyone's.
Speaker 2: Gonna top out Donnis Williams fake shovel, no look over
Speaker 2: the shoulder through two defenders.
Speaker 4: That was absolutely ridiculous. But what just a.
Speaker 2: Clipper team that you know, we often to hear Adam
Speaker 2: and you hear this all time in preseason with every team.
Speaker 4: We're gonna try to do this.
Speaker 2: We're gonna try to play faster, We're gonna try to
Speaker 2: play better on defense, We're gonna try to push the ball.
Speaker 2: I felt like the Clippers have been talking about for
Speaker 2: the last two weeks, we want to play faster, and
Speaker 2: tonight was the first time we actually saw them make
Speaker 2: that a point of emphasis emphasis.
Speaker 4: The amount of throw ahead Kevin Love outlets we.
Speaker 2: Saw today was more than any of the previous two
Speaker 2: games combined. It was pretty fun to watch this group
Speaker 2: get out and run and they led to a lot
Speaker 2: of success. And I think you look at the tape
Speaker 2: today and you say they should play like this every
Speaker 2: single night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this felt like a blue print to Clippers offense
Speaker 1: and what their identity is going to be this season.
Speaker 1: On that end, with James Harden in control, with athletes
Speaker 1: getting down the floor, doing a little bit of cherry picking.
Speaker 1: When you can beat your man down the floor, Jordan
Speaker 1: Miller was able to do it, and it's exciting and
Speaker 1: it's a fun brand of basketball. So we got a
Speaker 1: glimpse into the future. Tonight here in preseason game number three,
Speaker 1: as the Clippers come through with the victory Kai Jones
Speaker 1: with the game winning oop off the lab from Jordan Miller.
Speaker 1: They're victorious in Seattle one o one to ninety nine
Speaker 1: over the Portland Trail Blazers. We're back on Monday with
Speaker 1: our first basketball game at into It Dome. Looking forward
Speaker 1: to that, Clippers taking on i'd say a pretty established
Speaker 1: rival in the Dallas Mavericks. Tiptime is at seven thirty.
Speaker 1: We'll have your pregame show starting at six thirty Kylojmenez,
Speaker 1: great call as always. We'll see it into Adul Monday night, Adam.
Speaker 2: Six years the Clippers announced that they were going to
Speaker 2: build into a Dome. It's finally happening. It's finally happening.
Speaker 2: Let's go see you Monday.
Speaker 1: We've reached the Promised Land.
Speaker 2: My friend.
Speaker 1: More Clippers postgame coming up next. As they went by
Speaker 1: two in Seattle over the Blazers. I'm out of Maslin
Speaker 1: and you're listening to the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Clippers went in dramatic fashion over the Portland Trail Blazers
Speaker 1: in Seattle. It was a lob from Jordan Miller to
Speaker 1: Kai Jones, one of many Clippers win one on one
Speaker 1: to ninety nine two and one so far in the preseason.
Speaker 1: They're back home for the first time at into It
Speaker 1: Dome Monday. Take it on the Dallas Mavericks. Welcome back
Speaker 1: into your postgame show. I'm out of Moslin. Still to come.
Speaker 1: We'll sort through some more of these highlights. As we
Speaker 1: may or may not have called the final play on
Speaker 1: the air, righto it went down? Not always right, but
Speaker 1: when I am you're probably gonna hear about it. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be with you guys here on the Clippers stock
Speaker 1: side on the YouTube. I'm seeing some of these messages
Speaker 1: in here. Let's talk about this postgame box score. Clippers
Speaker 1: playing more transition basketball, as I'm sure you guys took
Speaker 1: note of. They ended up with fifteen assists on their
Speaker 1: twenty two make so it was still a low scoring affair.
Speaker 1: Half court basketball left something to be desired. The Clippers
Speaker 1: shot just forty percent make it forty one percent of
Speaker 1: the floor, just thirty three percent from distance. Is my
Speaker 1: box score right? They only took twenty one three pointers.
Speaker 1: Can that be accurate? I got a double check that
Speaker 1: I'm gonna double check that right now. I think it is.
Speaker 1: I got seven of twenty one from the outside. Now,
Speaker 1: that's got to be third quarter stuff. ESPN helped me
Speaker 1: out update this bad boy, so I can give you
Speaker 1: the right information. As the Clippers were doing damage in
Speaker 1: the second half, Kai Jones, the young guys, they were
Speaker 1: finding him, Aldnis Williams, Jordan Miller, Kobe Brown, Cam Christy
Speaker 1: had a moment as soon as he got out there
Speaker 1: on the court. EJ. Harkless his defensive prowess. He came
Speaker 1: in for Bones Highland who was putting them up from three.
Speaker 1: I think he finished three of ten from distance in
Speaker 1: the ballgame. The Clippers defensively is there. You could see
Speaker 1: it with the starters. They set a tone early on.
Speaker 1: And I do have an accurate final box score. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't buy that for a second. They were nine
Speaker 1: of thirty six from the outside, just twenty five percent.
Speaker 1: Did shoot forty one percent from the floor overall. Here's
Speaker 1: something we like. The Clippers only had twelve turnovers after
Speaker 1: about twenty each in the first two games forty combined
Speaker 1: over the first two. Much better job taking care of
Speaker 1: the basketball. James Harden still had four turnovers. But my goodness,
Speaker 1: some of those outlet passes James had to start things
Speaker 1: off to let you know what time the Clippers were
Speaker 1: on tonight, long outlet passes to Jordan Miller. He tried
Speaker 1: one to kp J. He found bones in the second
Speaker 1: quarter for a long outlet. James Harden overall, I believe,
Speaker 1: knocked down three three pointers. Yeah, three of six from distance,
Speaker 1: five of ten overall from the floor, fourteen points to
Speaker 1: five assists. Still too many turnovers, but this Clippers team,
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about James Harden in the preseason whatsoever.
Speaker 1: I want you guys to know something. Derek Jones Junior
Speaker 1: and his sixteen points, well, he didn't hit a three pointer,
Speaker 1: but he knocked down a tough one in the midi
Speaker 1: as he took his man into the key, took him
Speaker 1: off the dribble. I liked seeing that he missed another
Speaker 1: one in that area. But that's growth, I think from
Speaker 1: Dereck Jones Junior in just the array of shots he
Speaker 1: could hit. Quiet ball game overall from Terrence Man, although
Speaker 1: he might have had the first points of the game
Speaker 1: I think with the layoup, but just four points one
Speaker 1: of three five boards. That's good to see. Clippers. Overall,
Speaker 1: they did lose the battle of the board forty seven
Speaker 1: to forty three, but they matched them when it came
Speaker 1: to offensive rebounds. Both teams had ten there. Emir Coffee
Speaker 1: was also in the starting lineup tonight, third straight different
Speaker 1: starting lineup for this team. Off the bench, Jordan Miller
Speaker 1: with fifteen points and it's just light work for him.
Speaker 1: The reason he was able to get that lob off
Speaker 1: to Kai Jones is because the defensive attention went his
Speaker 1: way because he was making shots late, because he was
Speaker 1: using those left handed runners floaters. It seems so automatic
Speaker 1: from Jordan Miller. Struggled a little bit from beyond the arc,
Speaker 1: did get one of four to three pointers attempted to fall.
Speaker 1: I mentioned Bones Island overall just four of fifteen three
Speaker 1: of eleven from three did get to fourteen points. Got
Speaker 1: up fifteen shots in eighteen minutes. He was certainly aggressive
Speaker 1: out there. Kevin Pord Junior three of ten was six points.
Speaker 1: I don't think scored in the first half. The Clippers, though,
Speaker 1: they go on to win off a lob to Kai
Speaker 1: Jones from Jordan Miller with two seconds left in Seattle.
Speaker 1: They went over the Blazers by to final score one
Speaker 1: on one to ninety nine. Coming up next, more postgame highlights,
Speaker 1: more of your comments. Physical game from start to finish,
Speaker 1: says A mean a Sean on the YouTube live. I agree,
Speaker 1: they're starting to reveal their identity. You're seeing it offensively tonight.
Speaker 1: Coach Lou said, we want to play faster, we want
Speaker 1: more long outlet advance passes. They had them in spades
Speaker 1: tonight and they kept it going for four quarters. More
Speaker 1: Clippers post game next right here on the Patriot AM
Speaker 1: eleven fifty in the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network. Welcome
Speaker 1: back into your postgame show. This is Clippers locker Room.
Speaker 1: They win one on one to ninety nine in Seattle
Speaker 1: over the Portland Trail Blazers. Gonna be with you, guys,
Speaker 1: if you're watching on the YouTube live side at Clippers Talk,
Speaker 1: appreciate you. Kai Jones the game winning oop from Jordan Miller. Guys,
Speaker 1: I've been talking a lot about Kai Jones, and the
Speaker 1: funny thing about young players is you don't know how
Speaker 1: quickly they can develop. I don't know if he's NBA
Speaker 1: ready as the backup big for the Clippers with Mobamba
Speaker 1: out currently, but he may need to be. We don't
Speaker 1: really know the status of Mobamba. Third straight game he's
Speaker 1: missed with a right knee. I want to say issue,
Speaker 1: a knee issue. I don't want to give any specifics
Speaker 1: run I don't have them yet. But kai Jones is
Speaker 1: growing leaps and bounds. You could say, from game one
Speaker 1: to Game two and then tonight in Seattle. I said
Speaker 1: in the pregame show, the Clippers have a guy that
Speaker 1: could do his own rain Man impression, his own Sean
Speaker 1: Camp impression. That's what you saw. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he said. This one was dedicated to Sean Camp, who
Speaker 1: was courtside with his lob partner, and Gary Payton, who
Speaker 1: threw many to him in Seattle. Bring back the SuperSonics please.
Speaker 1: But kai Jones ended up with just eight points. I
Speaker 1: believe all eight were dunks, four of eight, but the
Speaker 1: game winner off the pass from Jordan Miller, and I
Speaker 1: was impressed. Once again. I've been talking about this his wind,
Speaker 1: because of his cardio background, because of his track and
Speaker 1: field background. Kai Jones doesn't get tired. He played twenty
Speaker 1: eight minutes, and his final minute he looked just as Sprye,
Speaker 1: just as athletic, just as freaky with the athleticism as
Speaker 1: he did his first minute. That's special. He had five blocks.
Speaker 1: He had an emphatic one on Scoot Henderson, probably the
Speaker 1: most impressive one. Is it hard to know his potential
Speaker 1: yet because the level of competition. Yeah, it's preseason, they're
Speaker 1: playing the Blazers. He was good against Portland, or excuse me,
Speaker 1: against Portland tonight and against Brooklyn on Tuesday night. But
Speaker 1: I love the energy he's bringing. I love the spirit
Speaker 1: he plays with, and his effort was better defensively, he
Speaker 1: still had moments where he wasn't setting hard screens at
Speaker 1: all and he got lost on the defensive end. It
Speaker 1: was up and down, but mostly up ups for Kai Jones.
Speaker 1: As you would imagine, here was the final play. As
Speaker 1: I guess Carlo and I drew it up before it
Speaker 1: happened here. I'm not saying we're mensa men or anything
Speaker 1: like that, but I don't know if we had a premonition.
Speaker 1: I guess here was your final you know what, just
Speaker 1: throwing up to Sky Jones and let's get this Clippers
Speaker 1: team back into it.
Speaker 2: Until on Monday ninety nine, all the Clippers trying to
Speaker 2: come away with a win in the preseason contest here
Speaker 2: in Seattle, Williams to mbout four point two to play
Speaker 2: get in the Clippers lead. Williams gotta throw it in
Speaker 2: Fines Miller a tax to Laane Lop.
Speaker 1: Jones two point to.
Speaker 3: Play time out Portland, sky Jones with that himmer, Clippers
Speaker 3: with a lead.
Speaker 4: On ninety nine.
Speaker 1: Here's what I like. I tested out sky Jones right
Speaker 1: before it happened. Carlow us sky Jones after it happened.
Speaker 1: Beautiful call by Carlo Jimenez and a nice victory. He'll
Speaker 1: take him even the in the preseason. If you're gonna play,
Speaker 1: you might as well win. Yeah, it's a learning experience,
Speaker 1: that's what's most important. But big opportunity for the young guys,
Speaker 1: Huge opportunity for sky Jones. How can he not get
Speaker 1: the last two way contract? As you guys are replying
Speaker 1: here on the YouTube side, Mike Dang saying, sky Jones
Speaker 1: getting better each game. Last game with dunks, this game
Speaker 1: with stocks blocks, love it. Yeah, he's a tarning quickly.
Speaker 1: He's picking things up. There's a lot to iron out still,
Speaker 1: but in case of emergency, break glass right now. If
Speaker 1: Mobamba can't go I'm feeling a little bit better about sky.
Speaker 1: We're out of here, but I can do some Clippers
Speaker 1: talk after dark. If you guys want to hang around,
Speaker 1: you tell me here in the comments section. Gotta leave
Speaker 1: you on the radio side till Monday night. Clippers taking
Speaker 1: on the Dallas Mavericks and into a dome. First game there,
Speaker 1: gonna break it in seven thirty tip against Nee Dallas Mavericks,
Speaker 1: six thirty pre game. Before we get out of here,
Speaker 1: I do want to thank the Clippers organization, Ralph Laila,
Speaker 1: Bryan Seeman, no it Ego, Carlo Jimenez on the call,
Speaker 1: big Brother, Jake Warner, Katie Newton, back of the bank,
