1 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,519 Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans, Welcome to a postgame 2 00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:19,679 live at YouTube dot com slash at Clippers Podcast. If 3 00:00:19,719 --> 00:00:22,359 you're listening to this after I publish it. If you 4 00:00:22,399 --> 00:00:25,199 want to watch us be live, you can find us 5 00:00:25,559 --> 00:00:30,920 here at YouTube dot com at Clippers Podcast. I'm Chuck Mockler. 6 00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:33,159 Adam Osen is doing this thing over on Clippers Talk. 7 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,719 William Updike, I think, is going to join us. We 8 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,079 are Clips and Dip. The Clippers get their second win 9 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,960 in a row, one fourteen, one oh seven against the 10 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:49,600 annoying and I mean that respectfully. The pesky Portland Trailblazers 11 00:00:50,679 --> 00:00:52,479 game kind of got away from the Clippers in the 12 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,600 second quarter, but they no pun intended right at the ship, 13 00:00:55,679 --> 00:01:01,359 which was good to see. Kawhi kind of took over late. 14 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,920 He ended with an efficient thirty points and ten boards. 15 00:01:05,879 --> 00:01:09,640 He also looked very quick in transition, which I think 16 00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:17,040 is a good thing. James Harden not the most efficient 17 00:01:17,079 --> 00:01:20,719 game from outside, but I mean thirteen assists. The turnovers 18 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,640 were a little rough again, A lot of those came 19 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,680 kind of in that second quarter, which was not very good. 20 00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:28,599 But I think Brian Seman said he said there was 21 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,120 three good quarters one bad one, and that's what happened 22 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,159 in this game. Credit to the Blazers who have a 23 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:42,640 bunch of lengthy, young, aggressive defenders, which this game showed 24 00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:46,239 us in that second frame. That is how you make 25 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:53,159 the Clippers feel uncomfortable. Any The Blazers pressure clearly rattled 26 00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:57,840 the Clippers in terms of ball pressure. I'm waiting for 27 00:01:57,879 --> 00:01:59,599 the stats to come. Let me leave the stats from 28 00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:02,799 the second quarter, but that was where you really saw 29 00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:06,280 it on display. I think we saw CP three struggle 30 00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:09,759 with that this game, which makes sense. I don't think 31 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,599 that's a crazy thing to think. That's kind of been 32 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,479 his Kryptnite defender wise his whole career. But you just 33 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,080 saw it a little more accentuated tonight against a young, 34 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,479 lengthy Trailblazers team. I already mentioned Kawhi Leonard. He was 35 00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:29,199 fantastic of It's a zubots I started a little slow 36 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,759 in this one. We kind of saw Zoo like play 37 00:02:31,879 --> 00:02:34,759 his way into form a little bit in this game. 38 00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:38,120 His defense was great to start. He kind of showed 39 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:43,280 the presence early in this one down low, but the 40 00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:45,240 offense was a little shaky to start. But then once 41 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,639 they fed Zoo as Adam Osen says a lot, and 42 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,199 he's right. If you want things to be easier, gives 43 00:02:50,199 --> 00:02:52,639 you the ball. When the offense was in the muck, 44 00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:55,039 you could give it to Zoo and things were Things 45 00:02:55,039 --> 00:02:59,879 were okay, but obviously the offensive player the game to 46 00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:05,000 Kawhi Leonard in this one. Phenomenal from outside. Late. We 47 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,719 saw him hit a mid range to take the lead 48 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,479 to nine points with less than two minutes, and then 49 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,759 he hit like a weird little push shot right after that. 50 00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:19,639 He's back. The healthy offseason very clearly helped Kawhi Leonard, 51 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,199 which the Clippers needed tonight. You need that star power 52 00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:30,759 to leave on and we got that from Kawhi. John 53 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:36,240 Collins off the bench incredibly efficient. The energy was there 54 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,680 as soon as he checks into the game. He's looking 55 00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:41,759 how can I make a play affect? How can my 56 00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:44,560 energy help this team? And it was just awesome to see. 57 00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:46,680 He's so good off the bench. A lot of people 58 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:52,759 on Twitter want him to start. I don't know. I 59 00:03:52,759 --> 00:03:54,800 don't know if he'll start. We also, the Clippers were 60 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,599 without Bradley Beale in this one, which how are we 61 00:03:58,639 --> 00:04:02,159 feeling about that? Are we nervous? He took a charge 62 00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:07,000 on Friday, and that caused some back issues, is what 63 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,960 ty said that game a couple of days ago. Is 64 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,240 that concerning the taking a charge causes to flare up. 65 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,959 Bogie was in his place and he was not good. 66 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,120 He's kind of playing his way back into shape. But 67 00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:27,000 Bogie had a rough game in the place of Bradley Beal. 68 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,240 But I don't know what my concern level should be 69 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,000 for Bradley Beal. I'm sure we're gonna get some post 70 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:37,079 game quotes in just a few about it, but I 71 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:44,439 don't know. I don't like. It didn't feel good. All right, 72 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,519 We got some postgame quotes coming in. Kawhi Leonard played well, obviously, 73 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,680 Justin Russo saying in the postgame Tylo said it's his 74 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,199 responsibility to get Kawhi Leonard touches early in this game, 75 00:04:55,399 --> 00:04:58,920 which makes sense. Kawhi had nine in the first quarter 76 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,399 of this game. He also had I think he had 77 00:05:01,519 --> 00:05:07,879 nine in the Oh no, sorry that was I think 78 00:05:07,879 --> 00:05:10,079 he had nine in the third. Two we got in 79 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,839 the third quarter. The Clippers got twenty seven points from Kawhi, 80 00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:15,439 Harden and Zoo, which was awesome. Obviously things were figured 81 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,240 out after the second quarter was bad, but I love 82 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:23,160 what Tyler's saying here postgame early touches. It makes sense. 83 00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:26,319 He's rare to go. The speed looks great, he's moving well, 84 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,079 he's shooting well from the outside like sometimes the Clippers. 85 00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:33,160 Joseph Fryer Ward talks about how the Clippers get in 86 00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:35,639 their own way sometimes, and this is a thing to 87 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:42,839 make things not in their own way, right, Okay, Logan 88 00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:45,839 rap saying it's concerning if it's a habit, but if 89 00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:48,839 he's probable next game, then I'm fine. Yeah. Clippers play 90 00:05:48,879 --> 00:05:58,000 again against the Warriors on Tuesday, which we're gonna a'll 91 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,839 talk about in a bit. They played eight on Tuesday. 92 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,399 Jesus Christ. Uh yeah, hopefully he's fine for that game. 93 00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:09,319 Good call Logan on that we're doing a spooky font 94 00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:12,000 as well. If you're only listening to this episode, we're 95 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:20,040 doing a spooky font. Yeah, Chris saying this game made 96 00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:22,839 me realize we need Beal, We need someone else that 97 00:06:22,879 --> 00:06:26,399 can handle ball pressure besides Harden and Kawhi. I totally agree. 98 00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:31,079 We saw Tyler you talked pregame he needed Bogie to 99 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,959 do that tonight in this game he basedly said, like 100 00:06:36,199 --> 00:06:37,480 you know, Bogie needs to be there to be the 101 00:06:37,519 --> 00:06:43,519 secondary ball handler. Basically that was not there from Bogie tonight. 102 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:49,160 It was really rough. Done ended up starting the second 103 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,879 half in place of Bogee for uh in this one. 104 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,279 Done was a really good secondary ball handler in this game. 105 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,120 I totally agree with the needing Beal take. I'm not 106 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,519 taking that away from all, but in this game particularly, 107 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,839 huge credit to Chris Dunn because he was good at 108 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,079 that late and he was good in the mid range. 109 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,560 He was good in the paint. Offensively. Did he hit 110 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,959 more than one three now? He went one for three. 111 00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:21,360 It was a big three though they needed it a 112 00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:24,800 little foul happy from Chris Dunn. The refs were weird 113 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,639 in this one. But yeah, hopefully Beal can go next game, 114 00:07:31,319 --> 00:07:34,399 just rhythm wise obviously, so we feel better about his 115 00:07:34,519 --> 00:07:39,600 health and it should help Bogie too, because Bogey missed 116 00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:43,920 the preseason he had an injury. So I don't know 117 00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:47,120 how upset I can be at Bogie really given how 118 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,639 little basketball he's played, but tough spot to be when 119 00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:51,920 he's starting. He's not supposed to start for this team. 120 00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:55,079 So for a lot of reasons, hopeing Bradley Beal is back, 121 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,920 but also just for Bogie's sake, so we can get 122 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,399 into some kind of normal rhythm that he will have 123 00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:05,720 when everyone's healthy on this team. Mike saying, this is 124 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,959 the type of game we lose last season. Collins and 125 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,120 Lopez are major bench impacts. I don't know if we 126 00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:16,639 lose this game last season, but maybe it's a little harder. Yeah, 127 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,399 Lopez was phenomenal. He finally scored his first non three. 128 00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:27,160 Took a lot of time. People kept trying to dunk 129 00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:31,319 on brook Lopez in this game. There was a couple 130 00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:34,320 Shade and Sharp tried to throw one down on brook 131 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,720 Lopez and he blocked the shit out of him. He's 132 00:08:38,759 --> 00:08:42,480 been phenomenal. John Collins was great. I like, this is 133 00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:46,639 a great quote. I don't know how to pronounce that. 134 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,399 Too many thousand, too many turnovers, that's it. That's what 135 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,200 this A lot of This game boils down to twenty 136 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:59,519 two turnovers in this one, which they came in bunches. 137 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,440 There was only three in the first quarter. They were 138 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,759 really good about turnovers in the first quarter. They was 139 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,840 they handled the ball well, and then I think they 140 00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:11,200 had six in the second and it was downhill from there. 141 00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:15,320 Hard and guilty was for some lazy turnovers that you 142 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,240 don't like to see. Other than that, he was very good, 143 00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:24,519 I thought. But yeah, a lot of turnovers and a 144 00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:28,639 lot of fouls, which I think again credit to the Blazers. 145 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,600 They played aggressively offensively. They got the calls. Some of 146 00:09:32,639 --> 00:09:37,000 the calls were a little soft. I'm not just there 147 00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:39,240 was something that was like, that's okay, that's what we're doing. 148 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,639 Logan rap saying, I think we'll see Harden, Done, Kawhi, 149 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,320 Derek de Junior, Zoo's start and future bealless games. Lopez 150 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,360 Collins makes things so much less shaky that you feel 151 00:09:53,399 --> 00:09:57,879 less lopsided if Done and DJJ start together. Yeah, I 152 00:09:57,879 --> 00:10:07,440 think it'll I think it'll evolve too, for sure. Ye. 153 00:10:07,639 --> 00:10:11,960 Lopez and Collins are such a night calming presence off 154 00:10:12,039 --> 00:10:19,039 the bench for the Clippers, combined nine for fourteen. John 155 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,320 Collins helps out a lot, obviously by going seven for eight, 156 00:10:21,399 --> 00:10:27,799 but that's phenomenal. The efficiency is great. Yeah, nice to 157 00:10:27,799 --> 00:10:30,879 see Big Zoo getting some touches. Second most field goal 158 00:10:30,919 --> 00:10:34,360 attempts on the team for Big Zoo. Very early in 159 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,000 the season, people were worried about Brook Lopez's shot diet 160 00:10:37,039 --> 00:10:40,759 eating into to kind of Zoo's field goal attempts, which 161 00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:45,440 could still happen, but Zoo really found his groove this 162 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,080 game offensively. I think we saw Kawhi do it kind 163 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,559 of in the first quarter of that game on Friday, 164 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,080 and I think we saw Zoo really kind of get 165 00:10:55,159 --> 00:11:04,000 back to what we expected and liked from last year. Yeah, 166 00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:10,200 there's there is way less anxiety from the bench unit. Unfortunately, 167 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,919 I think some anxiety on the bench unit happens when 168 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:20,840 Chris Paul was getting pressured in this game. Specifically, he 169 00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:26,279 had a really good shift to open the fourth which 170 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,200 was needed. It was nice, but there were times when 171 00:11:29,279 --> 00:11:32,200 Chris Paul it was like, Okay, this isn't not your night. 172 00:11:32,639 --> 00:11:35,080 I liked that Kawhi limited his minute as well. He 173 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,840 kind of had to Chris paula he played eleven minutes 174 00:11:37,879 --> 00:11:42,080 in this one. We saw Harden slow down at the end, 175 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,720 which is where Chris duns secondary ball handling really came 176 00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:49,559 into play and kind of helped Harden just get his 177 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:50,960 legs under him a little bit more because he was 178 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,960 looking a little gassed. But kind of a tough game 179 00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:00,200 from Chris Paul outside of that fourth quarter shift, like 180 00:12:00,279 --> 00:12:02,600 you know, figuring it out we were short of guy 181 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,159 he's an older guy on the eleven minutes, but wasn't 182 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,080 before that fourth quarter shift. It was a little it 183 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:19,720 was a little tight from ZP three. Yeah, the bad 184 00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:24,799 it really was just the turnovers and fouls. The Blazers 185 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,000 went on a huge drought in the second quarter. It's 186 00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:32,559 like twenty five to eight or twenty five four maybe, 187 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,679 and the game was slipping away. But then in a 188 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:43,200 half we saw some adjustments, which was great. Again, should 189 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:48,039 have some more postgame quotes coming in. Love that it's 190 00:12:48,039 --> 00:12:50,440 two in a row. That feels good. It's nice to 191 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:56,360 see them battle back from a game, which is awesome. 192 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,159 They were down twelve at one point. We really got 193 00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:06,600 to clean up the turnovers. So turnovers and transition defense 194 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,919 is kind of what the Clippers bugaboos were gonna be 195 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,679 this season, and I guess it's good that there's no 196 00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:18,879 surprise bad things so far for the Clippers, albeit through 197 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:27,399 a handful of games. Harden. Harden was good to night 198 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:35,159 again aside from the outside shooting. Yeah, what's your guys 199 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,360 concern level for Bradley Beal's injury. I don't know where 200 00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:41,159 I'm at. I think I'm not that concerned. I'm not 201 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:48,360 super concerned about Bogie playing poorly because I think he'll 202 00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:53,840 he'll look better when we're healthy. Yeah, djuh d Flow 203 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,159 saying the clips always get shaky when the young teams 204 00:13:56,159 --> 00:14:01,480 press them, and that is what I mean. That was 205 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,480 we knew that was gonna be the recipe coming in 206 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:08,240 for for other teams. If you make hard and work 207 00:14:08,279 --> 00:14:12,360 a lot early is the secondary ball handler really has 208 00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:14,960 to be on point. For the Clippers tonight, that was 209 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:20,240 Bogie and done. Usually it will be Bradley Beal Obviously, 210 00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:23,440 I think we don't look as rough in the second 211 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:29,240 if Bradley Bual plays in this game. That was just 212 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,440 the Blazers did not shoot well, so like the defense 213 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,960 when it wasn't Fouling played well, which you know that 214 00:14:38,039 --> 00:14:41,679 is kind of a large part of the game. Blazers 215 00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:46,360 not thirty and twenty seven percent from three, They also 216 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:52,200 just had thirty four free throw temps. Yeah, okay this yes, 217 00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:58,440 uh mane It Caldo saying every time Jerreck Jones Junior 218 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,720 brought the ballock, I'm like a guy, are we sure 219 00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:04,759 about this? That was some interesting decision making. I don't 220 00:15:04,759 --> 00:15:09,799 know if all of that was Tyler's decision, but the 221 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,639 Blazers were on a run. Their defense had the momentum 222 00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:17,240 through bringing pressure Clippers small Islers couldn't handle it. And yes, 223 00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:19,200 for some reason, Derek Jones Jr. Was bringing the ball 224 00:15:19,279 --> 00:15:20,559 up and it was like, this is not going to 225 00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:24,159 go well and I think he turned it over. If 226 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,399 the possession that is running through my head right now 227 00:15:27,679 --> 00:15:32,440 proves to be correct, yeah, there was. They were really 228 00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:40,840 ramping the pressure and Derek Jones Jr. Was trying his best, 229 00:15:40,919 --> 00:15:45,879 but that's not his spot to be. That was questionable 230 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,799 for sure. I will I will agree with that. Yeah, 231 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,559 we are old. Backstorts is the oldest injury to have 232 00:15:53,639 --> 00:15:58,080 for a team. So very very good point there from 233 00:15:58,159 --> 00:16:07,720 Logan wrap. But Tom and Collins was a really fun pairing. Uh, 234 00:16:08,159 --> 00:16:11,440 just because Nico is phenomenal. He had a Chasetown block 235 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:17,480 tonight which was awesome, really productive fourteen minutes despite again 236 00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:20,440 only having three points, but his his defense, his defense 237 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:25,759 was was needed. Yep, thank you. It was a Derek 238 00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:27,720 Jones Junior to right at the half court line. I 239 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,720 was like, what the hell, Yeah, we're gonna look old. 240 00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:37,320 I'm worried about this team playing against the thunder I mean, 241 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,600 obviously the Thunder a phenomenal team, but that'll be an 242 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:46,720 interesting test to see because talk about pressure and young legs. Yeah, 243 00:16:47,279 --> 00:16:50,679 Kawhi's defense. Kawi is just moving so well. Adam talked 244 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,320 about this in the preseason. He was like, I just 245 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,720 want to see how guys are moving. Kawhi I moved 246 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,279 well in the preseason. First game was a dud in 247 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,000 the regular season obviously, But tonight he was flying up 248 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,079 and down the court and yeah, again he had the 249 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,640 tow he had the mid range late and the push 250 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,039 shot late to take the lead, denying with less than 251 00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:12,799 two minutes, which is awesome, awesome shot profile, I think 252 00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:15,920 for the Clippers for the most part, tonight, Kawhi twenty 253 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:22,240 one field goal attempts, Zoo fourteen, Harden twelve. Collins had eight. 254 00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:25,519 Part of that's the efficiency. Chris Dunn had six, a 255 00:17:25,519 --> 00:17:28,400 little more than you want, but he cashed one out 256 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:36,240 of three threes. Yeah, Kawhi fell twice in this game. 257 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,839 Awkward falls weird, not like he bent weird. They just 258 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,400 looked awkward, like the crowd kind of didn't know how 259 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:49,680 to react. Yeah, Drew Holliday fouled Kawhi. He hooked his arm. 260 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,400 It was odd, but he popped up, which is good. 261 00:17:54,039 --> 00:18:02,559 Popped up after laying down. Uh yeah, shout out Shadon 262 00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:08,720 sharp again trying to dunk a bunch got blocked. Yeah, 263 00:18:08,839 --> 00:18:11,759 I've I have taken the memories from Game one out 264 00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:15,119 of my head too, thankfully after It hasn't been that 265 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:20,000 many games, obviously, but it does feel like the game 266 00:18:20,279 --> 00:18:24,960 Game one. Everyone was like, oh, this seems horrible. It 267 00:18:25,079 --> 00:18:29,400 does feel like seeing these two games in a row 268 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:35,599 after how bad Game one was feels good. That does 269 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,799 feel That feels good. And they get a test against 270 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,880 the Warriors on Tuesday, which I'm gonna talk about in 271 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,000 a few let me know you guys, just your favorite 272 00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:51,240 parts of this game. This is a live after the 273 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,960 Clippers beat the Blazers. This is gonna be a spotty 274 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,880 week ahead f YI. Coverage wise with the World Series, 275 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,839 it's just how it goes. We will be back to 276 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:05,400 regular schedule programming after the World Series is over. Sorry 277 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:10,920 about that, That's just how things are, okay. Yeah, the 278 00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:14,400 fry guy with a great bit. I reacted to that 279 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,920 fall like it was my own grandfather. Yeah, the whole 280 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:22,359 crowd did too. Brian Seman kind of called out the 281 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,880 swell on the broadcast today. It was in the middle 282 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,119 of the Blazer's giant run in the second but he 283 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,440 was like, you know, I'm not really feeling it from 284 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,920 the swell, and then they got into it during free throws. 285 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,039 So I like that that. I love what I'm seeing 286 00:19:35,079 --> 00:19:40,039 in year year two of the kind of way the 287 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,519 swell in the wall is being incorporated into more of 288 00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:46,200 the just atmosphere of the team. It's awesome. So shout 289 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,680 out to everyone in the wall. Shout out to the 290 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:58,440 swell as well. Yes, I am a Dodger fan. So 291 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:04,880 we'll probably we'll do a postgame probably on Tuesday, for sure, probably, 292 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,559 and then we'll see where we're at. But we'll be 293 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,599 back to normal stuff after this week. We always do 294 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,640 the celcos. Yeah, Kawhi is probably player of the game 295 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,119 in this one. I liked what Zoo did, Harden, if 296 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,599 you didn't have the turners would have been nice. John 297 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,240 Collins Man, hats off to John collins for what was 298 00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:33,119 his quote in the He said he was if he's 299 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,799 a starter, he's gonna bust his ass, and if he's 300 00:20:34,799 --> 00:20:36,559 coming off the bench, he's gonna bust his ass. And 301 00:20:36,599 --> 00:20:40,680 he has been phenomenal off the bench for the Clippers. 302 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,920 Fantastic signing. So this is nothing to take away from 303 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:48,200 brook Lopez either. They've both been kind of everything the 304 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,799 Clippers thought they would be and what the team needs. 305 00:20:54,079 --> 00:20:56,880 So it's just good to see that kind of slowly 306 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:03,839 manifests itself. Good stuff for the most part. Cut down 307 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,920 the fouls, cut down the turnovers. Life will be easier 308 00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:14,480 if you are the Clippers. The Clippers play the Warriors 309 00:21:14,519 --> 00:21:18,720 on Tuesday. They will get them on the second night 310 00:21:18,839 --> 00:21:22,599 of a back to back, which is nice. That's great 311 00:21:22,599 --> 00:21:25,599 for the Clippers, happy for them. On that the Warriors 312 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,960 will have played. Let me look up their schedule real 313 00:21:28,039 --> 00:21:34,960 quick because I forgot who it was. Yeah, they play 314 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,960 the Grizzlies tomorrow and then they will play the Clippers 315 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,400 at eight pm, which means the game will start at 316 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,440 eight fifteen or something like that. I don't know. I'm 317 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:52,759 getting old clearly, but we do get the Warriors on 318 00:21:52,839 --> 00:21:56,000 the second night of a back to back. As of 319 00:21:56,039 --> 00:22:03,119 this recording, the Warriors have played two games, excuse me, 320 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,319 three games, so not a whole lot of stuff to 321 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:11,759 take away from them right now. Good looking offense, pretty 322 00:22:11,799 --> 00:22:20,799 rough defense. Kuminga is seemingly buying in for the Warriors. Uh. Yeah, 323 00:22:20,839 --> 00:22:24,200 show Hey's pitching. We'll get it. Look, that's how it goes. Sometimes. 324 00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:34,279 Baseball's at five, Basketball's at eight. Yeah, Kaminga buying in. 325 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,759 Kuminga is the kind of guy who can give an 326 00:22:36,759 --> 00:22:39,759 old team like the Clippers trouble. Right, So hopefully we 327 00:22:39,799 --> 00:22:43,759 can kind of shut him down and make a contract 328 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,720 large contract for him. Seem like a bad idea. They 329 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:53,160 have Horford, who is just an annoying guy to go against. 330 00:22:53,319 --> 00:22:57,119 Talk about talk about a calming presence, calling veteran presence 331 00:22:59,559 --> 00:23:04,480 kind of bad at all of the elderly. Uh against 332 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,880 the Warriors this week, which will be a good game. 333 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,960 It's a good test for the Clippers. Tonight was a 334 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,359 great test for the Clippers. A young team that doesn't 335 00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:17,680 it's not interested in losing games. Now we're gonna play 336 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:23,960 an old team that's not interested in losing games. Yeah. 337 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,559 I'm a little worried about Jonathan cominga versus the Clippers. 338 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,400 He again, he has been buying in, which I don't 339 00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:38,519 like as an opposing fan, But I do like Logan 340 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,680 rap I think just said it. Yeah, Collins and Lopez 341 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,720 have both been fully engaged in games from the juke. 342 00:23:45,759 --> 00:23:48,880 Gonna need it against the Warriors, for sure, we need 343 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:55,599 that engagement. It's been fantastic. Uh, hey mane it. Kyle 344 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,799 Doo wants to see Yanna get like four minutes a game. 345 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,720 Sure things are going awesome if Y're is in the game. 346 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:05,039 He's already caught one love from CP three take it too. Uh. 347 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,680 We couldn't play on it tonight though, right, we agree 348 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,839 with that. Yannick should not have played tonight, and that's fine. 349 00:24:18,319 --> 00:24:26,640 It's yeah, good win tonight. Weird win again, only only 350 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:32,000 one bad quarter. Clippers do play the Pells on Halloween, terrifying. 351 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,119 I think I'm the matchup I'm most scared of this 352 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,519 year is happening on Friday, which is the Clippers versus 353 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,519 the Pells on Halloween. Who the hell knows what's gonna 354 00:24:40,559 --> 00:24:47,440 happen against the Pelicans on Halloween. Zion scores one hundred 355 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,400 and fifty points. I don't know. If you've watched the 356 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,119 last couple of years of Clippers versus Pels, you know 357 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:59,319 that insane things happen. So we will see what happens 358 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:05,359 against the Pels on Friday. Zion and Jordan Poole are 359 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,359 really good at scoring the ball. Uh, not so good 360 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:18,119 at stopping that. So we we'll see with that. I'm yeah, 361 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:25,400 I am petrified of Pelicans on Halloween. Uh as of 362 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,880 this recording, I don't think pels fans would be super bommed, 363 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,680 but maybe not super hyped as to how the team's doing. 364 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,799 It's very early in the season, but these are when 365 00:25:34,839 --> 00:25:41,200 young springy teams are healthy. These are when young teams 366 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,559 can get can get you if you're an old team. Right, 367 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:49,920 Like if the Clippers have a second quarter, a second 368 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,000 quarter like they did against the Blazers tonight, which was 369 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,279 full of turnovers, they think again. I think they had 370 00:25:56,319 --> 00:26:01,359 six turnovers in the second The Blazers had a something 371 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:06,039 to four run. It was rough. If they have a 372 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,920 quarter like that against the Warriors on Tuesday, which is 373 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,359 a better shooting team, things are a lot harder. So 374 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:22,279 let's eliminate the spikes in turnovers and fouls. I would 375 00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:28,880 like that to be limited against the Warriors on Tuesday 376 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,640 at eight pm. Uh, Lopez versus Horford is going to 377 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:39,799 be interesting. And yeah, don't don't on Brook Lopez. They 378 00:26:39,839 --> 00:26:42,480 were trying it tonight. He was not letting people do it, 379 00:26:42,519 --> 00:26:45,119 which was awesome. Zo had a couple of sick blocks too, 380 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:51,720 the bigs. It's so nice to have comparable bigs on 381 00:26:51,839 --> 00:26:57,720 this team. But still, transition is a bugaboo. Turnovers are 382 00:26:57,759 --> 00:27:01,720 a bugaboo. That is kind of what we thought would happen, 383 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,039 and we just got to hope that those things don't 384 00:27:06,079 --> 00:27:10,480 come in bunch us. Uh yeah, Brooke holding it down. 385 00:27:10,519 --> 00:27:11,920 We love to see it, all right. I think that 386 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,839 wraps it up for me. I hope everyone has a 387 00:27:13,839 --> 00:27:18,480 good rest of your week. Not a lot of postgame quotes, annoy. 388 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,720 Here's to beating the Warriors. That would feel good. Here's 389 00:27:23,759 --> 00:27:25,680 the three in a row. Here's the beating the Warriors 390 00:27:26,279 --> 00:27:29,720 on Tuesday. Hope everyone has a safe week.
