Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans? Welcome to the postgame
hangover at YouTube dot com Slash at Clippers podcast after
the Clippers get their ninth win over this time, excuse
me over the early Magic that featured an incredible defensive performance,
a great second half from James Harden, a really nice
showing from Jordan Miller, which we're for sure going to
touch on a little bit, a mere coffee absolutely again
playing like the best contract in the NBA, and the
Magic showed that they very much are the worst three
point shooting team in the league. Michael Yun saying, such
a nice game to watch. I don't know about that.
I think the end result looks good, but there were
parts of this game that were really The Clippers did
have twenty four turnovers in this game, which is gross,
but it is a great win. If you're listening to this,
we're gonna I'm gonna put this out just as audio two.
You can watch us on YouTube over at Clippers podcast.
It's a great win. We are looking good other than
the turnovers. They were gross tonight, but that's just kind
of how things go. Yeah, just some really good stuff.
The primary ball handler thing is still such a big issue.
It's just not feasible, Like it's not Chris Dunn brought
the ball up a couple times and it was bad.
The uh, the defense was phenomenal in this one. I
think I know the offense. You know, they just played
the what second best defense in the league. They were
on a six game win streak. The Clippers break that.
They score one hundred for the first time against the
Magic in fair amount of games. We're nine and seven.
It feels good, feels great. Best night and seven I
think you could say in a while for the Clippers.
But we got to give a shout out to the defense.
We have to give a shout out to a Mere Coffee,
absolute heater tonight. The way that you overcome twenty four
turnovers is by playing good defense and by having guys
like a Mere Coffee go six for ten. Zoo was
incredibly efficient. Not weirdly not the best Zoo game, but
he was very efficient. Brendan Lee saying, to have twenty
four turnovers and still managed to end a team six
game wins streak is unbelievable. It is unbelievable, and it's
a credit to the defense. It's a credit to this
team's defensive mentality. Jordan Miller came in and he wasn't
all this, but Jordan Miller had two steals tonight. Jordan
Miller was very, very annoying all the defensive end, which
is how you get minutes for this team. So big
shout out and kudos to Jordan Miller for an off
Some I would say real debut, and I don't mean
that disrespectfully, but this was real. These are real minutes
against a very real defense, and Jordan Miller was comfortable
getting to the rim, he got the foul call, he
had boards like he was. He looked exactly how you
wanted him to look in this game if you're part
of the Jordan Miller high, which I think every Clippers
fan is. But Jordan Miller was great. But someone mentioned
in the comments, you know, the twenty four turnovers or
whatever and still winning, and it's a credit to things
like that. Derek Jones Junior was great on the defensive
end tonight. He was incredibly annoying. This team is very
annoying to play against, and we just see it continuously happening.
All that stuff we heard about in the preseason, which
we'd been kind of sold before, right defensive identity, all
this stuff. It is incredibly real this year. It is
such a real thing. Thank shout out to Van Gundy
for what he's been able to do with this team defensively. Yeah,
Caleb Simpkins saying active hands on defense, say this from
being another clutch time game. Yeah, I mean you can't.
Twenty four turnovers is crazy. It's way too many turnovers.
This was a This was a crazy game. I mean
both teams got less than eighty field goal attempts. Up,
you win. This is games that the Clippers win. You
It shows how thin the margins are. Right. You have
a game where Ama goes for sixty percent, Derek Jones
Junior sixty percent, Zoos seventy three percent, shot fifty percent
as a team, and fifty from three, and they they
didn't eke out a win, but you know, it's an
eleven point win on a on a game where you
make fifty percent of your shots and their defense was
there tonight. It was fantastic. I don't know if I
I don't know if I agree with this statement that
KPJ and Zubac game together is over rate is underrated.
KPJ in this game very up and down. He shot
fifty percent missed his three point attempts. But I mean,
and for a team that needs help on the boards,
he had a handful of boards. He had, He had
six assists, may have punched someone in the face at
one point trying to get the steal. But KPJ was
solid this game, Chunk Sampson. We did say that if
we were a top four seed, uh or we're a
three seed, they could come on the show. They're on
track for that, So get your webcam ready. No idea
how old it's going to because that is an old term.
I feel like this was inevitably going to come up.
Thank you for asking this right away, Bushan. They gotta
give Miller Man's minutes if Man doesn't improve in the
next ten games. Unclear if they if they have to
do that. Jordan Miller was good in this game. He
played more than Terrence Man in this game. So we're
kind of I don't know, but if Norm comes back,
I like this idea here because Tyler's not going to
expand the rotation right Like, Tyler doesn't want a bigger rotation,
he wants smaller thing. He wants a smaller rotation, so
he knows what is happening, so it's easier to act
a game plan. So maybe it is that ten games.
But he has talked very glowingly of Terrence Man recently.
We can't discredit that if you agree or not, you
can't just you can't kind of block out the fact
that Tyler has been very complimentary of Terrence since he's
come off the bench. He has had some good games,
but he was bad tonight. It was up and down tonight.
I'm not gonna say he was bad tonight. It was
up and down. Renzo the Gamer says, I've seen enough.
Let Mobama shoot from the logo. We are getting some
people in the chat talking about the Mobima no hesitation three.
The man is a shooter. That is what he was
built on, for better or for worse. It's it's good
to see the Clippers need that kind of weirdness, right.
Michael Yun's upset that I'm not giving KPJ and Fluff.
I said he was good. The KPJ fans are very sensitive.
KPJ was good in this game. I said it be
okay with that. He had three ton turnovers. There was
some good and some bad, and he is the backup
point guard. I don't know what more people would want
for KPJ's role. He played twenty minutes and he's a
backup point guard and he had a good game. Why
why are you upset? Just be okay with it the
Baba mentality. Yes, he was show voting after the three,
which he loved to see. This game was it was weird,
it was not pretty. The second half from Harden was great,
But this game was great. I mean again, twenty plus
turnovers is a gross game. But that's how this team
wins right now, especially without Norm Powell. For this team
to put up I mean even one hundred and four
points against this magic team without Norm Powellho's having a
wonderful started season. They need every second of it. It's fantastic.
I like this comment from Jay dog Into it is
really starting to feel like home now. Yeah, Norm Powell
was leading the Wall, which is awesome. You absolutely love
to see that. There was free Chick fil A partially
in help. I'm gonna give the Wall the credit for that.
So the free free Chick fil A, you can never
be that at that. But no, this is the best
win of the season. I know that the wins against
the Warriors, they feel really good and stuff like this,
But we didn't have Norm Powell in this win. Obviously,
there's no Kawhi, and we were playing a game on
a heater, or playing a team on a heater who
had demoralized teams offensively leading up to this. First time
they allowed one hundred points and it might have been
over that whole streak. I think. Yeah, that was the
first time that they allowed one hundred points since November sixth.
It's against the Pacers, So a credit to this team
to find buckets, right, it was great to see. And
also there were some things that had to break the
Clippers way in this one. Right, the magic proved they
were the worst three point shooting team in the league
twenty two. They made eight threes, Clippers made eleven. Clippers
took thirteen fewer threes, and that helps. We'll take it.
I like this, what's up logan Logan in the chat saying,
I know we're trying to figure ourselves out waiting on Kai,
but at least we are now at the Philadelphia seventy
six ers, absolutely nine and seven with this schedule without
Kauhi and without Norm, I'm not who knows if Norm's
gonna be back on Friday. I don't want to rain
on anyone's parade, but hamstring strains what this team I
think are going to be treated very seriously, Miles Johnson.
The forty five turnovers and two games is disgraceful. It is.
That's where we're at. Man, There's only so many things
that we can like. There's only so many things I
think we can reasonably cut, Like the turnovers thing. I'm
not obviously that needs to get cleaned up. It is disgraceful,
but there's nothing disgraceful, really disgraceful if the team is
winning right now. That's the way this team is built,
and that's where we're at right the disgraceful wins market.
Thank you Jeremy Mormon saying Norma is out Friday. That
makes autal sense. We'll take disgraceful wins. That's what this
team needs. What did I say first to eighty tonight?
Which I can't believe that it went as high as
it did, But yeah, this is a team that we
thrive on disgraceful wins. We are gross win capital right
here for the Clippers, and we'll take it in tonight's win. Yeah,
it was gross, twenty plus turnovers. It's a gross win,
but there were a lot of good things. A mere
Coffee's confidence, a mere coffee look good with the starters.
I mean, it's hard to not look good when you
hit your first three threes. He was great Tyler Newhen
to pull the strings in this one. Another great Tyler
game rotation wise, we are absolutely gonna get Jordan Miller
Part two on Friday with Norm out his defensive Yes,
thank you, Quentin. His defensive play was needed. You need
my other co host, Will Updike. Usually this host the
show is three of us, Will Updyke, Adam Oles and myself.
Adam's over on Clippers Talk. Will I think it's just
hanging out. You need things like Jordan Miller to play
as like a guy like Jordan Miller playing his first
meaningful minutes and not only getting to the line and
doing the things he normally does well driving all that
stuff be annoying in the paint. He also gets two steals,
and that is the kind of thing you need to get.
As Miles Johnson I think would put it a disgraceful win,
but we will take it. We are proud of the
disgraceful wins right now from this team. James Harden in
the second quarter did not shoot well at all in
the first quarter or in the first half of this one,
like not not even like just okay, not good. But
he was fifty percent in the second half, which you
love to see getting Twitter updates. Appreciate this logan. There
we go, TYLERU given the highest praise you're gonna see, Tyler.
You give a young guy. I thought overall he was
pretty good. He was solid, said Tyler. We'll take it.
And uh. David Booker in the comments saying I felt
like Miller needed more time. Am I wrong? I don't
know if you're wrong, but they got the win. Again.
It's hard for me to nitpick things when the team wins.
The turn twenty four turnovers is not nitpicking. That is
something that needs to get figured out, absolutely. But the
Miller thing, it's he it's his first real minutes. That's
a very good defense. I think it was. I think
his minutes was fine. He got more than Terrence Man technically,
if you look at it on a seconds basis, he
got it more. I haven't even talked about him yet.
Great call. Metal slug twenty six. Derek Jones Junior was
feeling it tonight. He was great on defense and it
was just yeah, it was everyone kind of did everything
they usually do well, which was awesome. Katsueyo Baller, the
KPJ experience is a roller coaster, absolutely fair to say.
I could not agree more. He does a lot of
the things this team needs. He rebounds the ball well,
he's been able to kind of his assists look good.
But there's it's it's a roller coaster. Credit to him.
This is a team that's kind of set up to
stifle a guy whose offensive game is like Kevin Porter juniors,
but we know he's not gonna stop shooting. It is
a roller coaster. It's odd. We'll take it again. It's
hard to nitpick stuff, and in a win like this,
it's it's nice. I don't know what else to say.
Nine and seven with this, with this schedule, no quiet,
no norm lollgain is out Friday. I'm a little worried
about Friday, given the NBA Cup's just not kind to
the Clippers so far. But they can hang their hat
on the best win of the season tonight. And I'll
listen to you argue if the Warriors win is one
of those two is better, but this was. You look
at what this Orlando team had done defensively leading up
to this game. It's great to see and we didn't
even you know, like I don't know. There's a lot
of good in this game. There was a lot of
bad obviously, the turnovers, bad, Bones, Highlands seemingly totally out
of the rotation. But I like this Scott trans saying
like that everyone stepped up tonight with norm out. Couldn't
agree more. They did step up, and that comes from
that defensive that starts with that defensive mentality and that
stuff that they worked on in the in the preseason,
in the training camps and stuff like that. So what
we were sold in the preseason is happening right now.
They shut down Wagner basically half of his points per game,
which is awesome. They did shoot horribly wrong or horribly
which credit to our defense for sure. There's a lot
of things to figure out, but you'll take any win
that they can get them. I agree with this from
Bouchon s hope they get all the turnovers out of
the system for the Kings. I'm not sure if they did,
but I hope the same thing as well, Bouchon. I
could not agree more on that. We're gonna see what
happens down the road with the Clippers team, Brendan Lee
and the chat doing his best, Will Updike impression Will
up like not here. I'm about to jet out in
a couple of minutes too. Some are saying this is
our year. I'm not one of those people, but we'll see. Uh.
Dunn's defense tonight made Wagner look super uncomfortable. Yes, Dunn
was a bully in the paint too. Done literally jumpstop
shoved a guy on the Magic out of the way
and he got his bucket. He was not very efficient tonight.
The one three that Done hit was very important. We
needed it just in terms of kind of stepping on
their throat wise, but yeah, it was. It was good
stuff on both ends of them, well, mostly the defensive
side of the ball for Chris Dunn. So a lot
of good stuff. Put your player that put your player
of the game in the chat. We'll highlight that before
I get out of here. Yeah, the Clippers are playing
the Kings on Friday. Yeah, there are some loose handles.
Put your player of the game in the chat that
I'm gonna head out of here. Uh. Renzo the Gamer
saying I don't understand when zoo bots is scoring on
multiple plays, they just go away from it for a
couple of minutes. I agree, it is confusing. He missed
the bunny. He missed the I think just one bunny tonight,
and he only missed two shots. But yeah, it was
uh that's it's weird. The zoo game flow is very
word He missed three shots. Excuse me, but they were
all very close through him obviously. Jonathan Ang saying player
of the game is the folder soldier for them tonight.
Hard to argue with that stepped up in the first half.
It was fantastic to see cooled off in the second.
But what you know, what can you expect after that
first half? I think I'm here Coffee is a great player.
The game choice, I think I We've talked about a
little bit. Oh man, I don't know. It's kind of
tough in this one. I think a mirror might have
had it. Incredible are very good second half from James Harden.
He was a foul line merchant, which is not fun
to watch necessarily, but is very needed in a game
like this second half, Harden might have me putting Hardened
over a mirror. Harden had eleven to five and two,
and the second half with furture numbers. Brendan Lee saying
gotta be a mer Renzo the Gamer saying Chris done.
Just for the defense. I respect that Katsuya Baller the
Brewmaster chat is leaning hard towards a mere coffee and
no one's gonna argue. Not gonna argue with that over
here at all. Cameron, I need you actually to report back,
either comment on this video or tweet at us at
clippers Pod. How the Ktown Barbecue chicken a while fries are.
I'm sure they're great, but please let us know we
will appreciate that. Yeah, everything does go with hard and
as Chunk points out, it's hard to kind of go
but again in a disgraceful win, anyone can really be
player of the game Metal Slug, great game, saying triple
shot coffee. Hard to argue with that. All right, I
am heading out, y'all. Thanks for hanging out in the chat.
If you're new to this, usually go check out our
other videos. Usually it's myself, William Updyke and Adam Osland.
We appreciate it. Cameron, thank you for the for the
food report. We do appreciate that there's a lot to
talk about. We're gonna probably do a full episode Saturday,
I think, depending on what the schedules are. If not,
we'll be doing like a live or something definitely after
the seventy six ers game on Sunday. I hope everyone
has a great weird end the end of the year.
