Speaker 1: The Clippers. The game is ended, gather around boys, time
Speaker 1: to recap.
Speaker 2: But the post game coverage is just getting started. The
Speaker 2: successes the failure.
Speaker 3: Let's discuss this is Clippers locker Road breaking down today's
Speaker 3: action with the pre and post game voice of the Clippers.
Speaker 2: Here's a a moss lad.
Speaker 1: Clippers fall here and into a dome by final score
Speaker 1: of one seventeen to one oh six to the Houston Rockets.
Speaker 1: Welcome into your postgame show. I'm at a Oslin coming up.
Speaker 1: We got second half highlights for you, plus your post
Speaker 1: game box score. As the Clippers lose their last two
Speaker 1: after having three days off and a lot of guys
Speaker 1: out for this one, including James Harden, Carlo I felt
Speaker 1: like they were able to fight. They battled out there.
Speaker 1: The problem was the Clippers just didn't have enough of
Speaker 1: their talent to overcome the deficit in that respect between
Speaker 1: them and the Houston Rockets tonight.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the Clippers were missing James Harden. They
Speaker 4: were out without a mere coffee. Obviously, Terrence Man has
Speaker 4: a shoulder injury, but then you lose Derek Jones Junior
Speaker 4: and a game. Adam was so much guard talent that
Speaker 4: Houston has. I mean, the way they're able to move
Speaker 4: the basketball, attack the rim. Derek Joe Junior could have
Speaker 4: been huge in this game for the Clippers to try
Speaker 4: to slow down that Houston attack, and the Clippers just
Speaker 4: couldn't get it done. It's a good game to watch
Speaker 4: a lot of film on the Clippers did something or
Speaker 4: lost the rebounding battle, something that almost never happens this season, unless,
Speaker 4: of course, they're playing the Houston Rockets. It has happened
Speaker 4: a couple of times against this Houston team. Overall, though
Speaker 4: impressed with the performance when you think about who the
Speaker 4: Clippers were out missing in this contest and the fight.
Speaker 4: I mean, you talked about it, but the Clippers never
Speaker 4: gave up. They fought to the final minute of the
Speaker 4: ball game, and every single time Houston made a run,
Speaker 4: the Clippers were able to not allow the game to
Speaker 4: get out of hand. I mean, this very easily could
Speaker 4: have turned into Minnesota. The Clippers did not let that happen.
Speaker 4: I think this just shows that the identity of this
Speaker 4: team is that they're gonna fight every second they're on
Speaker 4: the floor. That's gonna win them a lot of games
Speaker 4: when they're at full strength.
Speaker 1: Yeah, their identity wasn't tapped tonight. They may have ran
Speaker 1: out of able bodies, they did not run out of
Speaker 1: fight in this ball game. And Bones Highland, I think
Speaker 1: just had his best game since the thirty nine point
Speaker 1: game last season. He played really well in his twenty
Speaker 1: eight minutes, had twenty two points once again, second straight game.
Speaker 1: Five of ten from the outside. Was more catch and
Speaker 1: shoot Bones playing off ball tonight, I thought he gave
Speaker 1: them a real plus coming off the bench.
Speaker 4: He really did, I mean, season high twenty two points,
Speaker 4: back to back games with season highs and similar to
Speaker 4: James Hornen, just able to create when the Clippers didn't
Speaker 4: seem like they had a chance to create anything on
Speaker 4: the offensive end. Get to his spot, attack down Hill,
Speaker 4: a couple of pretty fines to big Zoo underneath. Bones
Speaker 4: Highland continues to play well and it just it adds
Speaker 4: more to this Clipper lineup. They have that scoring off
Speaker 4: of the bench. IoT him and Jordan Miller in the
Speaker 4: first half were excellent. Hyland kept it going in the
Speaker 4: second half with his offense. It was great to see
Speaker 4: Bones get opportunities. I thought ad him too. He held
Speaker 4: his end defensively. I mean, really, it didn't feel like
Speaker 4: Houston is trying to attack him a couple of times,
Speaker 4: and he stayed who was able to stand tall every
Speaker 4: single time. If bones can keep playing this way, He's
Speaker 4: gonna keep playing for this Clipper team.
Speaker 1: Clippers fall one seventeen to oneh six here it into
Speaker 1: a Dome to the Houston Rockets. Clippers next game coming
Speaker 1: up not till Friday. They will be in Denver taking
Speaker 1: on the Nuggets. This is a makeup game as they're
Speaker 1: not in the knockout round of the n Season tournament.
Speaker 1: First of two games now on the schedule starting Friday
Speaker 1: in Denver versus the Denver Nuggets, and we will have
Speaker 1: tip off for you at six pregame shows starting at
Speaker 1: five Carlo Jimenez, great call as always safe traveling to Denver,
Speaker 1: my friends. We'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 4: Adam. I can't wait to talk to you on Friday.
Speaker 4: It feels like forever, but I'll be excited for it.
Speaker 1: Let's go. Oh we get by for four days with
Speaker 1: another Clippers postgame coming up next. They lose here and
Speaker 1: into It Dome by a final score of one seventeen
Speaker 1: to one oh six the Houston Rockets. I'm out of
Speaker 1: Maslins and you're listening to the Los Angeles Clippers audio and.
Speaker 5: I love this team. I never miss a game.
Speaker 3: You're listening to LA Clippers basketball free ball, Yes, sir,
Speaker 3: right here on the LA Clippers Audio network.
Speaker 1: Clippers lose what's seventeen to one six? Tear it into
Speaker 1: it though, to the Houston Rockets. Fine tough on Clibernation.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be with you though. Here in your post
Speaker 1: game show, I'm out of Maaslim if you want to
Speaker 1: get on early eight six six nine eight seven two
Speaker 1: five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five
Speaker 1: seventy is the phone number. Final box score. Clippers shoot
Speaker 1: forty four point six percent from the field, the Houston
Speaker 1: Rockets forty eight point eight percent from the floor. One
Speaker 1: of the biggest differentiators in this game was first of all,
Speaker 1: the Houston Rockets kept the Clippers in it with fifteen turnovers.
Speaker 1: The Clippers turned that into twenty points. The Clippers only
Speaker 1: had eight turnovers guys in a game without James Harden.
Speaker 1: They took care of the basketball. There were different lineups
Speaker 1: out there. I commend the guys on the effort and
Speaker 1: the focus. Those eight turnovers by the Clippers turned into
Speaker 1: just six points, but the Clippers did get out rebounded
Speaker 1: fifty to thirty three. Some of that is because, well,
Speaker 1: they missed more shots than the Houston Rockets. Some of
Speaker 1: that is because Houston had twelve offensive rebounds compared to
Speaker 1: the Clippers just having seven, and some of those second
Speaker 1: chance opportunities were backbreakers the Houston Rockets and second chance
Speaker 1: points twenty one the Clippers with six that hurt. Clippers
Speaker 1: did beat them up in paint points, scoring sixty to
Speaker 1: Houston's forty two. But the Rockets, once again third straight game,
Speaker 1: shot well above their season average from the outside and
Speaker 1: hit some really tough shots that were very well contested,
Speaker 1: like the dagger of the ball game It's an eight
Speaker 1: point game and Jalen Green hits a three on the
Speaker 1: right wing over Bones Highland who had a hand in
Speaker 1: his face. It was well contested, didn't matter, and they
Speaker 1: shot just about thirty seven percent from three on high volume.
Speaker 1: They went fifteen to forty one from the outside, the
Speaker 1: Clippers just eleven of thirty four from three. Also the
Speaker 1: free throw line and that differential. The Rockets ended up
Speaker 1: taking ten more free throws than the Clippers in a
Speaker 1: game where they didn't attempt a free throw in the
Speaker 1: first quarter of this one doesn't matter. They would end
Speaker 1: up twenty two of twenty six at the free throw line.
Speaker 1: Clippers thirteen of sixteen, leading your Los Angeles Clippers with
Speaker 1: twenty two points off the bench. Skeleton Key Army stand
Speaker 1: up Boons Highland had twenty two, seven of thirteen, shooting
Speaker 1: five of ten from distance. Jordan Miller with twelve off
Speaker 1: the bench, ten of which came in the first half.
Speaker 1: Kevin Porer Junior with the starters in place of James
Speaker 1: Harden out with that right groin strain. He had nineteen
Speaker 1: points on eight of eighteen shooting, plus six assists, just
Speaker 1: one turnover. I thought he played well overall of each.
Speaker 1: Azubas had twenty one and twelve for the Clippers. At
Speaker 1: times I wanted him to be featured a little bit more,
Speaker 1: but the guy who really struggled that had to have
Speaker 1: a big game once again didn't. Against Houston. The Rockets
Speaker 1: have done a great job sewing down Norman Powell. All
Speaker 1: three games have been subpar for Storm and Norman. He
Speaker 1: had just seventeen points on eighteen shots and went one
Speaker 1: of eight from three Slippers lose one seventeen to one
Speaker 1: oh six to Jalen Green, who had thirty one in
Speaker 1: the Houston Rockets here at into a Dome coming up
Speaker 1: next more second half talk. After this one, Clippers dropped
Speaker 1: to fourteen and eleven on the season. I'm Ada Maslin
Speaker 1: lie from into a Dome and you're listening to Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 5: I love this team. I never miss a game.
Speaker 3: You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball three ball, Yes, sir, right.
Speaker 2: Here on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Slippers ball to the Houston Rockets here as into a Dome.
Speaker 1: Welcome back in. I'm out of mausel. Coming up, we
Speaker 1: got Clippers talk for you eight six six nine eight
Speaker 1: seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven
Speaker 1: two five seventy is the Clippers dropped two in a
Speaker 1: row here at into a Dome, a banged up under
Speaker 1: Mans team that was shorthanded heading into the ballgame without
Speaker 1: James Harden, without Mobamba. They did get KPJ back, they
Speaker 1: did get Norn powellback, but of course no Terrence Man,
Speaker 1: no Kawhi Leonard. On top of it, and then pregame
Speaker 1: a mere coffee goes out with a shoulder injury during
Speaker 1: pregame warm ups, and then after the first quarter it's
Speaker 1: Derek Jones Junior who leaves the ballgame. So I got
Speaker 1: people here in the chat in the Adams family talking
Speaker 1: about we went too small. They lost a ton of
Speaker 1: wings in this game. If you're going to criticize coach
Speaker 1: lou for going too small and playing guys like Bones Highland,
Speaker 1: who led them with twenty two points, I don't know
Speaker 1: what to tell you tonight, but we'll talk about it
Speaker 1: all on Clippers Stock. Coming up next. Clippers next ball
Speaker 1: game not till Friday in Denver. They're taking on the
Speaker 1: Nuggets for the third time this season. Tip off is
Speaker 1: that six pregame show starts at five outside of Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: We are leaving you until then. Coming up next, we
Speaker 1: got clipperstop at a five seventy LA Sports And.
Speaker 3: With that, just like that, another Clipper broadcast is ended.
Speaker 3: Hoarding judging and this has been Clippers locker Road, a
Speaker 3: postgame look at today's g every game all season long.
Speaker 2: Thank you for.
Speaker 3: Joining us for all the action on the LA Clippers
Speaker 3: Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Phoning in. We're taking your calls on the LA Clippers
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: This is Clippers Talk on Aaron.
Speaker 5: On Demand, the Clippers Show of Record.
Speaker 2: Your chance to react to everything.
Speaker 1: Clippers Clippers news happens.
Speaker 2: Let me guess it's about Kawhi.
Speaker 5: Here we are and.
Speaker 3: Now here he is the host of your LA Clippers
Speaker 3: pre and postgame.
Speaker 1: At follow Adam a Adam Ousley, great exliper Nation. We
Speaker 1: have a problem half the team's injury. Clippers lose to
Speaker 1: the Houston Rockets one seventeen to oneh six here into
Speaker 1: it Dome after they were already missing James Harden, Kawhi,
Speaker 1: Leonard Mobamba, Terrence Man heading into the game, and then
Speaker 1: during the pregame warm up some mere Coffee went out
Speaker 1: with the shoulder injury. And then after the first quarter,
Speaker 1: Derek Jones Junior was out and the Clippers still fought
Speaker 1: and still battled. They did not run out of fight,
Speaker 1: they ran out of bodies and they lost one seventeen
Speaker 1: to one oh six to a very good Houston Rockets
Speaker 1: team that's the top three team in the Western Conference.
Speaker 1: I'm Adam Ausland. Welcome into Clippers Talk, Tough one Clipper Nation.
Speaker 1: I understand you never liked to lose, but this Clippers
Speaker 1: team battled tonight and scrapped and gave everything they had,
Speaker 1: but the talent disadvantage was too much to overcome. And
Speaker 1: when you consider the circumstances and the Houston Rockets once
Speaker 1: again going off from distance against the Clippers, which has
Speaker 1: been a theme in all three games. Even though the
Speaker 1: Houston Rockets not a good three point shooting team, they
Speaker 1: shoot thirty three percent from three tonight, fifteen to forty one.
Speaker 1: That's thirty seven percent from three on high volume, and
Speaker 1: it was better than that. Of the half they were
Speaker 1: about fifty percent from three, went one of six from
Speaker 1: three in the third quarter, but then hit some really
Speaker 1: timely big three pointers down the stretch, including a dagger
Speaker 1: by Jalen Green over the outstretched arm of Bones Highland,
Speaker 1: who played great for the Clippers. He had twenty two
Speaker 1: points off the bench skeleton key Army represent Bones Highland
Speaker 1: in twenty seven minutes make it twenty eight, was seven
Speaker 1: of thirteen from the field and five to ten from
Speaker 1: the outside, and led the Clippers with twenty two points.
Speaker 1: We knew it would be tough without James Harden felt
Speaker 1: like Kevin Porter's junior. It was up and down at times. Overall,
Speaker 1: played decently had nineteen points against his former team, six
Speaker 1: assists to just one turnover. But you can say the
Speaker 1: game changed at the end of the second quarter where
Speaker 1: the Clippers were within three. They were right there. They
Speaker 1: had a chance to be easily within single digits heading
Speaker 1: into the half. And at the three twenty eight mark,
Speaker 1: Bones Highland hit a three pointer. It's forty nine to
Speaker 1: forty six. Houston Rockets call a time out. After that,
Speaker 1: I mean Thompson gets a layup after he went for
Speaker 1: his season high More on that in a little bit.
Speaker 1: It turned out to be an one as Chris Dunn
Speaker 1: got into foul trouble and filed on that particular possession.
Speaker 1: Then there's a Clippers turnover by Norman Powell. Shan Gung
Speaker 1: gets called for three seconds in the key. Norman Powell
Speaker 1: has the line. He makes that it's fifty two to
Speaker 1: forty seven. Then Norman Palell gets fouled on a three pointer.
Speaker 1: It is fifty two to fifty after he hits all three.
Speaker 1: I think that was tribute to James Harden not being
Speaker 1: out there, who typically is the guy that gets fouled
Speaker 1: on a three pointer. Jalen Green goes to the line,
Speaker 1: he makes two. Clippers are down by four. So now
Speaker 1: what happens. Kevin Porter Junior misses a midi, Jalen Green
Speaker 1: hits a three. Norm Powell misses a three. On the
Speaker 1: other end, Jalen Green gets a runout, gets an easy layup.
Speaker 1: It's fifty nine to fifty. Clippers are down by nine.
Speaker 1: Now then it beats the Zubats couldn't get multiple tip
Speaker 1: ends to go after Kevin Porter Junior missed another mid
Speaker 1: range shot. Dylan Brooks three Clippers are down twelve, sixty
Speaker 1: two to fifty, and they would be down twelve at
Speaker 1: the half. Eventually he got to sixty four fifty two
Speaker 1: when it was a three point game at the three
Speaker 1: twenty eight mark of the second quarter, fifteen to six
Speaker 1: run from then on, if you want to go from
Speaker 1: the two zero nine mark to the second quarter, it
Speaker 1: was a twelve two run. You're right there. You're in
Speaker 1: the game. That might have been the first blow to
Speaker 1: this Clippers team. Really in the fourth quarter, it's an
Speaker 1: eight point game down the stretch. The Clippers continued to fight.
Speaker 1: Bones Highland was cooking, got Shepherd off the dribble for
Speaker 1: a three pointer, said he was too small, but I
Speaker 1: think The most consequential shot in the ball game was
Speaker 1: that three at the two to h two mark by
Speaker 1: Jalen Green as the shot clock was running down. It
Speaker 1: was one eleven to one oh three. It's an eight
Speaker 1: point game. The Clippers are still in it. And Jalen
Speaker 1: Green got a long three pointer on the right wing
Speaker 1: over the arm of bones Highland, really well defended. Did
Speaker 1: not matter. And then Jabari Smith Junior, for for good measure,
Speaker 1: hit another three pointer. And I don't know what it is,
Speaker 1: but the Houston Rockets love playing the Clippers and hitting
Speaker 1: threes on them. They're a good team, They're not good
Speaker 1: with the three ball. All three games against the Clippers,
Speaker 1: they have shot about thirty eight to thirty nine percent
Speaker 1: combined in three games against the Clippers from three when
Speaker 1: on the season Houston is a thirty three percent three
Speaker 1: point shooting team. Is it just terrible defense by the Clippers. No,
Speaker 1: I just told you about the one that Jalen Green hit.
Speaker 1: Who got really hot the first quarter two I think,
Speaker 1: got eleven points and hit some tough shots whenever done
Speaker 1: was out of the ballgame. Jalen Green was cooking. It
Speaker 1: was unfortunate to me. I felt like at times the
Speaker 1: Clippers could have utilized two guys a little bit more
Speaker 1: on the offensive end. Aviatz, the Zubats who did finish
Speaker 1: with twenty one to twelve in thirty seven minutes. And
Speaker 1: actually Jordan Miller when he came back in the second half,
Speaker 1: I don't think he got a shot off the first
Speaker 1: five minutes he was out there. That was a little
Speaker 1: bit frustrated to me. But give Houston credit. Whenever the
Speaker 1: Clippers were closing in or making a run or had
Speaker 1: it till within striking distance, they would hit a big shot.
Speaker 1: I mean, Thompson had twenty two, his season high. He
Speaker 1: got the star is there missing Fred van Vlied? I
Speaker 1: believe he was the one the starting lineup, and he
Speaker 1: hit a lot of run silencing shots on the third
Speaker 1: quarter mid range shots. He also hit a three on
Speaker 1: the Clippers in this game. Do you know what Thompson
Speaker 1: shoots from three on the season twenty nine percent, Even
Speaker 1: he hit a three on the Clippers. It's frustrating when
Speaker 1: there's outlier shooting that goes against you. Jalen Green not
Speaker 1: a good three point shooter, shooting about thirty percent five
Speaker 1: of thirteen. He had a crazy explosive dunk in the
Speaker 1: second half, a crazy reverse layup that was Michael Jordan esque.
Speaker 1: He's a very good player. I think his season high
Speaker 1: as forty one. He had thirty one against the Clippers.
Speaker 1: But his shooting from the outside early and then late
Speaker 1: with the dagger proved too difficult for the Clippers to overcome.
Speaker 1: They fall by a final score of one to seventeen
Speaker 1: to one six to the Houston Rockets. We'll take a
Speaker 1: quick time out, we'll come back. We'll pull some quotes
Speaker 1: from the head coach and the players and gets you
Speaker 1: an update on the glood of players who got injured
Speaker 1: over the last couple of days. Are in this ball
Speaker 1: game by the Clippers. Will tell you the severity of
Speaker 1: those injuries coming up next here on Clippers Stock. I'm
Speaker 1: out of maslint and you're listening to a five seven
Speaker 1: E LA Sports.
Speaker 5: I love this team. I never miss a game.
Speaker 3: You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball free ball, Yes, sir,
Speaker 3: right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: There will be rest for the weary as the Clippers
Speaker 1: have next four days off until they are in Denver
Speaker 1: to take on the Nuggets. After losing tonight one seventeen
Speaker 1: to one oh six to the Houston Rockets. As the
Speaker 1: Clippers were more shorthanded than Jamie Lanister. We knew coming
Speaker 1: into the game. No Terrence Man, no Kawhi Leonard, no
Speaker 1: James Harden, no Mobamba. Then pregame of Mere Coffee goes out.
Speaker 1: Then Derek Jones Junior goes out after the first quarter,
Speaker 1: and I commend the Clippers on the effort they put
Speaker 1: out there. They did not run out of fight. Maybe
Speaker 1: able bodies, but they did not run out of fight
Speaker 1: against the Houston Rockets. Welcome back in This is Clippers stock.
Speaker 1: I'm at a Mosland eight six six nine eight seven
Speaker 1: two five seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two
Speaker 1: five seventy is the phone number on a night where
Speaker 1: Bones Highland busy Bones at twenty two. This was his
Speaker 1: best game, guys, since last season, the very end of
Speaker 1: last season when he had that thirty nine point game.
Speaker 1: This is the best Bones Highland has looked. Not just
Speaker 1: because he was getting shots to fall. I thought he
Speaker 1: played within himself. He was playing off ball a lot.
Speaker 1: He got others going. He only had one turnover to
Speaker 1: four assists. He had some really nice assists. The fourth
Speaker 1: quarter found of Vitza Zubas for a big dunk. I
Speaker 1: don't know if Vita Zubos got involved enough. I see
Speaker 1: this from Joey Lynn postgame meats At Zubats said the
Speaker 1: Clippers felt James Harden's absence in every possible way tonight.
Speaker 1: Mentioning his scoring, playmaking, rebounding, and leadership, Zubat said, he's
Speaker 1: our leader on the court. I've been telling you guys
Speaker 1: before the season started, this is James Harden's team right now.
Speaker 1: We'll bring you more postgame quotes as we find them.
Speaker 1: Chat the Adams family. Yeah, Chris Dunn has had issues
Speaker 1: with the three ball the last two weeks.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 1: After starting off the season he was shooting about forty
Speaker 1: from three. It is dipped tremendously since then, Ross I
Speaker 1: want to say he's thirteen for his last fifty, somewhere
Speaker 1: in that range from the outside. He hit the first
Speaker 1: shot of the game. It was a three pointer. I thought, okay,
Speaker 1: can this give him some confidence? And he had a
Speaker 1: couple of nice floaters after that, but he ended up
Speaker 1: one to five from three, and he picked up his
Speaker 1: fifth foul in the second half, and coach lou eventually
Speaker 1: he just tried to juice up the offense, bring in
Speaker 1: more guys who could do more on the offensive end
Speaker 1: because they were down double digits. So I think that's
Speaker 1: why Chris Dunn stayed out once he got his fifth
Speaker 1: foul in the game. Makes sense. Zubats got fifteen shots
Speaker 1: up nine to fifteen, missed a couple of easy ones.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it was a great game for him,
Speaker 1: but he was still good. He had a tremendous block
Speaker 1: on Jabari Smith Junior after a Houston Rockets offensive rebound.
Speaker 1: They had a few of those. Those second chance points
Speaker 1: were problematic for the Clippers. Again, the Houston Rockets in
Speaker 1: this game where they would win one seventeen to one
Speaker 1: oh six, they had twelve offensive rebounds at the Clippers seven. Now,
Speaker 1: they are the best team on the glass on the
Speaker 1: season when it comes to rebounding percentage, an offensive rebounding percentage.
Speaker 1: This is what they do. So when I hear people
Speaker 1: be like, how do we get beat up on the
Speaker 1: boards like this? They're the best. This is what they do.
Speaker 1: They had twenty one second chance points. They really converted
Speaker 1: those eight of thirteen and second chance points Clippers only
Speaker 1: had six on three of nine shooting on their second
Speaker 1: chance points with their seven offensive rebounds compared to Houston
Speaker 1: having twelve. Chris g said, hopefully that's something moving forward.
Speaker 1: Seeing but Toombs defense on Sheng Gun, Tooms defenses, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not something I really ever worry about. Shen Gouon
Speaker 1: was completely kept in check. I mean he had nothing tonight,
Speaker 1: four of nine eleven points. He was almost invisible out there.
Speaker 1: I think he was getting a little bit flustered early
Speaker 1: on by the defense the Clippers were playing on him,
Speaker 1: and he kind of got out of his game. Plus
Speaker 1: Jalen Green was going and Men Thompson was going. The
Speaker 1: Clippers bench scoring much better in this game. They ended
Speaker 1: up with what is bench scoring? None of the box
Speaker 1: score come on now, thirty eight points off the bench
Speaker 1: compared to twenty one with the Houston Rockets courtesy of
Speaker 1: Jordan Miller with twelve bones, Highland with twenty two. Even
Speaker 1: Kai Jones got into that when he was in there. Well,
Speaker 1: we have a moment. Let's pause ten seconds for station
Speaker 1: identification here in Los Angeles, Clippers, are you a network
Speaker 1: at M five seventy LI Sports?
Speaker 3: This is LA Clippers Basketball AM five to seventy KLAC
Speaker 3: Los Angeles, ninety eight seven, KYSR HD two Los Angeles
Speaker 3: and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1: Ross brings up a really good point. He said, Bones
Speaker 1: look good on both sides of the ball. The most
Speaker 1: engaged on defense I've seen him this year. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, when Bones gets real minutes and not just
Speaker 1: throwaway inconsequential garbage time minutes, he typically gives you a
Speaker 1: much better effort. Quentin Cornett said, Zubach which he spelled
Speaker 1: Zubach like he's a composer, looked gassed and had way
Speaker 1: too many turnovers. Talk about that, all right, let's talk
Speaker 1: about it. He had so many turnovers? Oh wait, he
Speaker 1: had zero turnovers tonight? Why do you want me to
Speaker 1: talk about that? Quentin Cornett, who's getting in the chat
Speaker 1: and saying, Adam, why don't you read my comment? Stay
Speaker 1: in time out? He had zero turnovers zero. If you
Speaker 1: guys want to Zoo hate on a night like this
Speaker 1: where Vitza Zubots had zero turnovers, I'm not here for it.
Speaker 1: The Clippers only had eight as a team. What are
Speaker 1: you talking about? Zoo had a good game. I don't
Speaker 1: think it was a great game. I think it could
Speaker 1: have been they got him involved a little bit more
Speaker 1: or stretchers where I think they should have force fed
Speaker 1: it to a Viata Zubots because Houston was actually playing
Speaker 1: him one on one tonight, and when shd Gun was
Speaker 1: on him or Steven Adams was on him, even Jabari
Speaker 1: spent Junior at times it was barbecue chicken Zubos was eating.
Speaker 1: I know quent Nett won't like being put in time
Speaker 1: out for being completely wrong about that, but we're a
Speaker 1: factor of Ben show and he had zero turnovers. Rock
Speaker 1: said light the game from Zoo, but it did feel
Speaker 1: like we were stuck in that ten point range. We
Speaker 1: were overwhelmed, but they weren't until the end of that
Speaker 1: second quarter, which was my point. They were right there
Speaker 1: end of the second quarter, that fifteen to six run
Speaker 1: the last three and a half minutes, I think that
Speaker 1: proved to be in early fatal flaw. Baby I mean said,
Speaker 1: we did a good job of taking care of the basketball,
Speaker 1: which is what I like. Cam says, still right in
Speaker 1: the middle of a tough Western Conference. Can't ask for
Speaker 1: more considering the circumstances, of course, fourteen to eleven. But
Speaker 1: they go to Denver on Friday. The two games they
Speaker 1: got scheduled after the playing tournament, which they didn't make
Speaker 1: it into the knockout round with are in Denver on Friday,
Speaker 1: and then Monday at home against Utah. So one on paper,
Speaker 1: really difficult game against a team they've beaten twice, but
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough to beat them three times. And
Speaker 1: then an easier contest against the Utah Jazz as I
Speaker 1: see Norman Powell come out to greet some fans, which
Speaker 1: is pretty cool. Norm struggled tonight. Man. If their Clippers
Speaker 1: were gonna be able to win this game, they needed
Speaker 1: Norm to erupt at some point, and they just shut
Speaker 1: off the water with him again. Third game against Houston,
Speaker 1: they did a really good job against Norman Powell. The
Speaker 1: defense was tilted his way, a lot of attention going
Speaker 1: towards Norm. That's part of why beatsa Zubots was getting
Speaker 1: one on one coverage. That's why they probably should have
Speaker 1: gone him more. But Norm Powell five of eighteen seventeen points,
Speaker 1: one of eight from three. Some of that is just
Speaker 1: poor shooting luck going against them, but most of those
Speaker 1: threes were really well contested. Houston's great when it comes
Speaker 1: to perimeter defense. I mean said, we did a good
Speaker 1: job taking care of the basketball. That's why I like
Speaker 1: Daniel said Zoe was a top three post game right now.
Speaker 1: Clips need to use him more. Absence said Norm was
Speaker 1: shooting four coming into this game. He was due for
Speaker 1: a stinker in Houston. Guards him. Well, yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: think it was just he was due. I think it's
Speaker 1: more of a credit to the Houston Rockets and just
Speaker 1: how good they are on that end, honestly. Mark Jack
Speaker 1: said the end of the second quarter was when KPJ
Speaker 1: tried to go one on one versus Green. He took
Speaker 1: a couple of shots I didn't like there, but overall
Speaker 1: I think he was okay. It was an up and
Speaker 1: down game. It's what it always is with KPJ. He
Speaker 1: got a spinning layup in the second half on the
Speaker 1: right block that was tough. He had some really good shots.
Speaker 1: He took Dylan Brooks off the dribble. He was dancing
Speaker 1: on him, a little heasy move. The Jazz lost by
Speaker 1: forty four today, says Mark Jack, who the Clippers will
Speaker 1: get at home week from tomorrow. Mark Jack also said
Speaker 1: the end of the second quarter was when KPJ tried
Speaker 1: to go one on one with Green or I just read
Speaker 1: that Adam way to go. You deserve a time out yourself.
Speaker 1: Here we go five seconds. You know, here's the way
Speaker 1: to give myself a timeout. Ray Pomona, you're on Clippers
Speaker 1: Talk with Ray is gone. Sorry. Mike in La you're
Speaker 1: on Clippers stock with Auta Maslin. Mike, you got thirty
Speaker 1: seconds here? Mike, what's up?
Speaker 7: You know, can't be very upset about this game, other
Speaker 7: than like, you know, the you know, three minutes or
Speaker 7: whatever it was at the end of the second quarter.
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, it played really hard. I just
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, injuries, man, Yeah, injuries just can't do.
Speaker 7: I mean, I wonder at what point, I mean, I
Speaker 7: don't know if you know this, at what point they
Speaker 7: can get you know, like a just say, you know,
Speaker 7: just you know, some sort of exemption to sign another player.
Speaker 7: I mean, we just need people, We need bodies.
Speaker 1: I agree with that, Mike. I appreciate. I appreciate the
Speaker 1: phone call, my friend. It's tough to overcome that many injuries.
Speaker 1: And that's why I give the Clippers a lot of credit.
Speaker 1: They were there, they were in the game. They didn't
Speaker 1: quit because of it. They didn't let go of the
Speaker 1: rope because of it. They kept playing through it and
Speaker 1: different guys stepped up. And we're not even talking about
Speaker 1: injuries we knew going into the game. Injuries that happened
Speaker 1: in the game. That makes it that just compounds things
Speaker 1: and makes it even tougher. Let me see if we
Speaker 1: have some postgame audio for you. But first, Ray in
Speaker 1: silver Lake, Ray, what's up here on Clipperstock? Alan and
Speaker 1: silver Lake? Sorry?
Speaker 8: Alan, Hey, Adam, it's the kind of night where it
Speaker 8: seemed like Jordan Miller could have just really had like
Speaker 8: a special night and just didn't fite. I could have.
Speaker 8: He almost could have gone for thirty if it's just
Speaker 8: a slightly different game.
Speaker 6: And then Allan, you.
Speaker 1: Want to know, I think I completely agree with you, Alan.
Speaker 1: I was seeing the exact same thing with him out
Speaker 1: there in that first half and the ten points he
Speaker 1: had in the seven he had in the second quarter,
Speaker 1: but when he came back in the third quarter, they
Speaker 1: didn't go to him. He wasn't touching the basketball at all.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's on his teammates or if
Speaker 1: he wasn't being assertive enough, but I completely agree with you.
Speaker 6: It always has this feeling with him like if he
Speaker 6: misses one shot then everybody gives up on him or
Speaker 6: something and he has to push himself and there's not
Speaker 6: a lot of support somehow on the floor for him.
Speaker 1: Sometimes maybe I'll tell you the one shot he did
Speaker 1: miss in the first half, that was the most impressive
Speaker 1: take of the season from Jordan Miller. He got bodied
Speaker 1: by Jabari Smith Junior and he rejected him. Jordan Miller
Speaker 1: got the basketball back and went at him again and
Speaker 1: got a lefty layup to go off the glass. That
Speaker 1: was incredible from Jordan Miller.
Speaker 9: He's like a soccer striker. He just knows how to
Speaker 9: go and score. And it's he's thrilling to watch, you know,
Speaker 9: and I look, I'm happy every time he's out there.
Speaker 9: The other thing I just wanted to say was, you
Speaker 9: know that Utah game is Kawhi bobblehead night.
Speaker 8: Is that an indication of something?
Speaker 1: No, it's not. It's an indication that it's the last
Speaker 1: home game before Christmas and it's a Clippers or Clippers
Speaker 1: Clips miss Clippers themed Christmas bobblehead for Kawhi, so they
Speaker 1: have to get it out there because it's Christmas themed.
Speaker 1: So it's not an indication that Kawhi is coming back
Speaker 1: on the sixteenth guys, just because his bibblehead is coming out.
Speaker 1: Then it's Christmas themed. It's the last home game they
Speaker 1: have before Christmas. Does that answer your question, Alan.
Speaker 6: I guess. I guess I'm not the only person to
Speaker 6: put forward this conspiracy theory, So thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've debunked it a few times. I appreciate the
Speaker 1: phone call though, Alan some great points about Jordan Miller.
Speaker 1: Age sixty six ninety seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 1: phone number. Really liked this game from Jordan Miller and
Speaker 1: what Alan said there. I was feeling I thought he
Speaker 1: was gonna go for twenty tonight. When he started to
Speaker 1: get it going in that second quarter and then you
Speaker 1: hear Derek Jones Junior is out, I thought, this is it.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get twenty shots up, He's gonna get twenty
Speaker 1: plus points. I really thought this was gonna be Jordan
Speaker 1: Miller's night. Now, bones Hiland had a very good night,
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying the team was freezing him out
Speaker 1: or anything like that, but when he came back into
Speaker 1: the third quarter, he just kind of just kind of
Speaker 1: blended in or floated out there. He wasn't getting the
Speaker 1: basket at all, and I felt like with the Clippers
Speaker 1: offense struggling at times, Jordan Miller needed to be featured
Speaker 1: a little bit more. I know that's crazy to say,
Speaker 1: but they just didn't have enough guys that could create
Speaker 1: for themselves like Jordan Miller can't. So I guess I
Speaker 1: did mention Mobamba was out Mark Jag I mentioned it
Speaker 1: all night. It's been talked about. Kay Jones got minutes
Speaker 1: because of that, and I thought Kyle Jones was okay tonight.
Speaker 1: I did, you had a couple of buckets. He was
Speaker 1: a minus two in his eleven minutes. I don't think
Speaker 1: he was the reason the Clippers lost this game. The
Speaker 1: reason they lost this game. When everybody wants to just
Speaker 1: overreact and point the finger, you know, bothers me because
Speaker 1: it's so easy to do that, and it's just a
Speaker 1: simplistic way to analyze a game. And when you could,
Speaker 1: if you wanted to oversimplify things, you could just say, well,
Speaker 1: the Clippers were missing like five rotation guys, starters, their
Speaker 1: best player, James Harden. If you want to oversimplify it,
Speaker 1: just say that they had a talent disadvantage a huge one,
Speaker 1: so it was gonna be an uphill battle. It was,
Speaker 1: but they fought, but they lost late, one seventeen to
Speaker 1: one oh six. Well, take a quick time out. We'll
Speaker 1: come back live from Into a Dumb I'm Adam Mosland.
Speaker 1: After the Clippers dropped to fourteen and eleven on the season.
Speaker 1: We'll update you on the standings. We'll hear from coach
Speaker 1: lou coming up next. Right here on the M five
Speaker 1: seventy LA Sports, it's Clippers Talk.
Speaker 5: I love this team. I never miss a game.
Speaker 3: You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball free ball, Yes, sir,
Speaker 3: Right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Final score. Houston Rockets won seventeen year Los Angeles Clippers
Speaker 1: one oh six. Here it into it home. I'm Adam Asland.
Speaker 1: Welcome back in I follow out of Maze where you
Speaker 1: can find me on x We're on the YouTube live
Speaker 1: side at Clippers Talk. Clippers lose by eleven to within eight.
Speaker 1: Things were interesting and they were making a push, but
Speaker 1: Jalen Green I think hit the eventual kill shot the
Speaker 1: nail and the coffin bucket. That was a three pointer
Speaker 1: to put them back out by eleven. Clippers lose by eleven,
Speaker 1: but they battled a Visa Zubats started getting more involved.
Speaker 1: Where from the let's see five minute mark of the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter to the three forty seven mark, Avista Zubats
Speaker 1: had six straight points for the Clippers, and between there
Speaker 1: Dylan Brooks hit a really big three pointer when it
Speaker 1: was a ten point lead, went away to ninety eight.
Speaker 1: Clippers kept coming though, they kept battling, they kept coming,
Speaker 1: they kept fighting, and that's all you can ask. Just
Speaker 1: play hard no matter who's available, and there were a
Speaker 1: lot of guys who were unavailable. Unfortunately. Let's check out
Speaker 1: what the chat is saying. Alfie says, the confidence Miller
Speaker 1: shoots the three with is what we want team Man
Speaker 1: to do, not that whole pump fake. Jordan Miller is
Speaker 1: certainly confident. Christian said, this kind of game that was
Speaker 1: waiting for all season. This is that kind of game
Speaker 1: Bones played, Miller played, Kai Jones played versus a great
Speaker 1: rocket team. I don't know if it's what I was
Speaker 1: waiting for a bunch of guys to be injured so
Speaker 1: all those guys could play. It's not exactly what I
Speaker 1: was waiting for. Chris g said, let's see Quentin Cornett said,
Speaker 1: I watched him very carefully the entire game. I'm not
Speaker 1: hating on Naimo, a Clippers fan. Quentin said earlier that
Speaker 1: it beats the Zobots had a bunch of turnovers. Turns
Speaker 1: out it beats the Zubots had zero turnovers. That's why
Speaker 1: you can't trust people's eye tests. Uh Rock said, I
Speaker 1: think Miller played within the pecking order, and that's why
Speaker 1: he only finished with twelve shots, considering the injuries forced
Speaker 1: us to play more shot makers in Kevin Porter, Junior, Bones,
Speaker 1: Highland Powell Miller than add Zoo. I agree he did,
Speaker 1: but the problem was like they needed, they needed someone
Speaker 1: that could create for themselves, and Jordan Miller can do that.
Speaker 1: What he has in his game is what they were
Speaker 1: deficient of. So that's why I was a little bit
Speaker 1: surprised out of a timeout. They eventually did make a
Speaker 1: concerted effort to get him the basketball. I think when
Speaker 1: they realized, oh, he hasn't touched the ball in like
Speaker 1: five minutes out there when he came in, I don't know,
Speaker 1: midway through the third quarter, and I think he got
Speaker 1: a bucket right away. It just took far too long
Speaker 1: for that realization to take place, maybe because young player,
Speaker 1: uh new player, but he had a layup early in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter when the Clippers were trying to get
Speaker 1: back into it. They were down twelve heading into the fourth.
Speaker 1: It was ninety five to eighty three. After Amin Thompson
Speaker 1: hit another really critical timely bucket. He had a lot
Speaker 1: of those against the Clippers. But then to start at
Speaker 1: the fourth KPJ had that Buckert bucket on Shepherd, Miller
Speaker 1: missed a layup Holiday, Aaron Holiday threes my goodness, he
Speaker 1: hit a ton of timely threes as well against the Clippers. Guys.
Speaker 1: Aaron Holiday off the bench, went three of six from
Speaker 1: three and they were all really big shots, backbreaking type
Speaker 1: of shots because the Clippers were trying to make a run.
Speaker 1: Early in that fourth quarter. He hits a three. Miller
Speaker 1: then gets that layup I was talking about to make
Speaker 1: it one oh one to ninety early fourth quarter. Holiday
Speaker 1: another three, I mean, fourteen point lead for Houston. Bones
Speaker 1: hits a three on Shepherd, says he was too small
Speaker 1: guarding him. It's one o four to ninety three. Clippers
Speaker 1: get a stop. Bones would miss the next time against
Speaker 1: Shepard down This was a team that was battling. That
Speaker 1: showed who they are out there. At least we talked
Speaker 1: about a post game, but their identity remained intact. They're
Speaker 1: gonna play hard. They didn't have the eyes, they didn't
Speaker 1: have the horses, they didn't have You know, they might've
Speaker 1: been out talented, but I wouldn't say they were out
Speaker 1: work tonight. We'll take you a quick time out. We'll
Speaker 1: come back, we'll close things out. Clippers lose to the
Speaker 1: Houston Rockets. Here it into a dome, one seventeen to
Speaker 1: one oh six. Coloppers don't play again till Friday in Denver.
Speaker 1: Still looking for post game UO quotes from the head coach.
Speaker 1: I'm at a Maslim. This is clipperstock on five seventy
Speaker 1: LA Sports.
Speaker 5: I love this team. I never miss a game.
Speaker 3: You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball free ball, Yes, sir,
Speaker 3: right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Clippers lose the Houston Rockets, second trade loss. Here it
Speaker 1: into a dome. This time they fall one seventeen to
Speaker 1: one oh six. Welcome back in. I'm out of mazlin.
Speaker 1: Let's not make a trend of this Clipper nation. They
Speaker 1: had lost nine straight. Here into a Dome. Now they've
Speaker 1: lost two straight. It's just their second game since Wednesday,
Speaker 1: and that twenty eight point loss two that would be
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Timberwolves. Because it was so long ago, I
Speaker 1: had trouble pulling up my memory my memory bank there
Speaker 1: and remembering who it was. There are people in here
Speaker 1: who are trying to blame a Viatza zoobots for everything,
Speaker 1: like actually making up stats like he had a bunch
Speaker 1: of turnovers tonight when he didn't. They're saying it's his
Speaker 1: fault that the Houston Rockets are a great offensive rebounding
Speaker 1: team when they're the best offensive rebounding team in the league,
Speaker 1: and people just want to oversimplify, like Quentin and say
Speaker 1: this is the reason they lost. It's Visa Zubas's fault.
Speaker 1: He had all those turnovers. You look at the box score,
Speaker 1: he had zero. Well what about the offensive rebounds he
Speaker 1: gave up? That's all on him. Houston had twelve, the
Speaker 1: Clippers had seven. Offensive rebounds. It's like, well, some of
Speaker 1: those were long boards off of miss three pointers. Some
Speaker 1: of those were and Vitza Zubats wasn't even out there
Speaker 1: on the court. Yet you want to blame a Viatza
Speaker 1: Zubats for the Houston Rockets and getting offensive rebounds, which
Speaker 1: is what they do. They're the best offensive rebounding team
Speaker 1: in the league. Make it make sense, my guy, or
Speaker 1: don't because you can't. Mark Jackson Jalen Green going for
Speaker 1: thirty one might be the most points they've given up
Speaker 1: to a single player. The defense has been that good
Speaker 1: this season. No, because they gave up forty two Nikola
Speaker 1: Jokic in a loss for the Denver Nuggets. I think
Speaker 1: he had forty one that first game in Denver. Clippers
Speaker 1: will be in Denver on Friday six. Abs said, Houston
Speaker 1: crashes his boards hard and a little bit of luck. No, Quentin,
Speaker 1: you just want to put it on one guy and
Speaker 1: a Vitza Zubas, as Quentin says, Adam refuses to hold
Speaker 1: Big Zoo accountable. I get it at him. A Vitza
Speaker 1: Zubas had let's see here, twenty one to twelve and
Speaker 1: three offensive rebounds. I'm not going to hold him accountable
Speaker 1: for offensive rebounds the Houston Rockets got when a Vitza
Speaker 1: Zubas was not even on the court, or like you
Speaker 1: could go back and actually watch the film and see
Speaker 1: if he was in the vicinity or should have gotten
Speaker 1: to some of those boards. It's just it's so frustrating
Speaker 1: with some people, mostly those that i'd call basketball casuals.
Speaker 1: But I'm not saying that about Quentin. Like there are
Speaker 1: excuses and there are explanations for things, there's a difference.
Speaker 1: Some cannot see the nuance. They just want to reduce
Speaker 1: everything to I don't like this player, so I'm going
Speaker 1: to blame him when things go wrong. I don't like
Speaker 1: to play that game. Guys. I think the Clippers played
Speaker 1: with great effort and spirit out there tonight. They came
Speaker 1: up short as they were shorthanded. They lose this one
Speaker 1: to the Houston Rockets, one seventeen to one oh six,
Speaker 1: leaving you until Friday. Not only the Clippers talk YouTube side,
