<v Speaker 2>Your chance to react to everything.

5
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Clippers Clippers news happens. Let me guess it's about Kawhi.

6
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Here we are and.

7
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Now here he is the host of your LA Clippers

<v Speaker 2>free and postgame.

9
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:23.640
<v Speaker 1>At follow Adam a Adam Owsley.

10
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Knuckles white hair lost, but the Clippers win one oh one,

11
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:38.079
<v Speaker 3>so one hundred up in Sacramento, Clippers by one over

12
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.280
<v Speaker 3>the Kings at Golden One Center. Take a deep breath,

13
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 3>Clipper Nation. They hold on to get the victory, and

14
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:46.159
<v Speaker 3>we got Clippers stock for you here on the Patriot

15
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.159
<v Speaker 3>AM eleven fifty if you want to get on eight

16
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:51.079
<v Speaker 3>seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. While we have

17
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:54.679
<v Speaker 3>a moment, let's pause ten seconds for station identification. Here

18
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:56.280
<v Speaker 3>on the Patriot AM eleven fifty.

19
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 2>This is LA Clippers Basketball, AM eleven fifty, d k

20
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:06.200
<v Speaker 2>E I v. Los Angeles and iHeartRadio station.

21
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:14.519
<v Speaker 3>Cardiac clips back in effect. I'm not surprised by the

22
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:18.480
<v Speaker 3>outcome or how close this game was. I said yesterday

23
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:20.599
<v Speaker 3>I thought it would be a tight game. It would

24
00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:27.480
<v Speaker 3>stress everybody out. It did, and then some blood pressure.

25
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 3>Blood pressure medicine is up right now like that was incredible.

26
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 3>The way the Clippers almost gave this one away down

27
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:45.719
<v Speaker 3>the stretch that was a playoff like game, did not

28
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:50.840
<v Speaker 3>feel like that. Get used to it, hopefully, because there's

29
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:55.120
<v Speaker 3>still work to be done. The Clippers win on Sunday

30
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:58.439
<v Speaker 3>over Golden State, there will be no worse than the

31
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 3>five seed where they are currently. If they lose, cast

32
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 3>their fate aside, they cast their fate to win, They're

33
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 3>likely going to be in the plan. Likely they didn't

34
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.680
<v Speaker 3>get any help tonight. The Memphis Grizzlies blew a game

35
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:24.039
<v Speaker 3>where they led till about the last five minutes over

36
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:32.719
<v Speaker 3>the Denver Nuggets and then gave it away. Minnesota had

37
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 3>an easy one against Brooklyn. The Warriors had an easy

38
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 3>one against Portland. Gotta do everything ourselves, said the joker.

39
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 3>I yeah, the Clippers handled their own business, but the

40
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 3>Grizzlies are dead to me, Ray said. The Grizzlies were

41
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.120
<v Speaker 3>up one away to one, was six to zho five

42
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 3>left in the game. They scored just six points in

43
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 3>the last six minutes and five seconds. Were they all

44
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.800
<v Speaker 3>free throws? Did they get a field goal. I mean,

45
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 3>how long did they go without one? This Clippers team tonight, though,

46
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 3>showed me something. I know. They almost gave this ball

47
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 3>game away. Believe me. I was gripping as well. I

48
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:37.240
<v Speaker 3>was frustrated as well. After Dj had the steal and

49
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:41.400
<v Speaker 3>score on Zach Levine and the Clippers were up nine,

50
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 3>I felt comfortable, but then in Damar putback it's a

51
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 3>seven point game hard and lobbed Dj Levine three. It's

52
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.840
<v Speaker 3>a six point game. Zoo floater off a beautiful pass

53
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:02.439
<v Speaker 3>from Bogie. Clippers up eight. Kawhi goes to the free

54
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 3>throw line a few possessions later after they made him

55
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:10.039
<v Speaker 3>bleed his own blood, and the Clippers are up ten.

56
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:16.639
<v Speaker 3>Ninety Five to eighty five was the score. When I

57
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:21.879
<v Speaker 3>thought the Clippers would be able to slow bleed this

58
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:28.639
<v Speaker 3>one out. There was four minutes and fifty seven seconds left,

59
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:33.560
<v Speaker 3>meaning the Clippers scored just six points the rest of

60
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:38.639
<v Speaker 3>the way. They got outscored fifteen to six in the

61
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 3>last four minutes and fifty seven seconds. Didn't exactly run

62
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 3>through the tape. First, Ellis went to the free throw

63
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:52.120
<v Speaker 3>line for Sacramento eight point game. Bogey misses a floater.

64
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.000
<v Speaker 3>It was a good look. Couldn't get to go. DeMarcus

65
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.720
<v Speaker 3>fouled by Kawhi. He goes to the lot, makes the

66
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 3>first missus. The second seven point game, Norm comes in

67
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.480
<v Speaker 3>for bogie at the four h nine mark. Kawhi attacks

68
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 3>and gets fouled.

69
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 1>Love seeing that.

70
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 3>Clippers up by nine ninety seven to eighty eight. Kawhi

71
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:17.399
<v Speaker 3>made his free throws. There's three minutes and fifty three

72
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 3>seconds left, They're up by nine. Do you feel secure yet?

73
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 3>They shouldn't? Levine jumper. After being miserable shooting wise throughout

74
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.439
<v Speaker 3>this ballgame, the Clippers they caught a break with Zach Levine,

75
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.480
<v Speaker 3>who hasn't exactly stepped up in big moments. He has struggled.

76
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:39.879
<v Speaker 3>I mean he's only been in the playoffs like once,

77
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.720
<v Speaker 3>but he struggled. But he hits that jumper. There, seven

78
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:47.120
<v Speaker 3>point game, Kawhi has a rear view block on him

79
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:53.399
<v Speaker 3>by Ellis Murray misses a three pointer. Harden taps it

80
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:55.399
<v Speaker 3>to himself. He's on the floor. He's trying to call

81
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:57.759
<v Speaker 3>for a time out. They don't give it to him.

82
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.680
<v Speaker 3>They call a jump ball. That was a bad call.

83
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.040
<v Speaker 3>He had control. He was calling for a time out.

84
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.160
<v Speaker 3>He was looking for the official he would win the

85
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:15.680
<v Speaker 3>jump ball, tipped it to Zubos. DJ layup off a

86
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 3>Harden long outlet pass. The Clippers are up by nine,

87
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:30.000
<v Speaker 3>two point fifty eight left. Cy relieve, not exactly. Murray

88
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.120
<v Speaker 3>misses a three. Kawhi missus a three on a shot

89
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:35.720
<v Speaker 3>I didn't love. On the other end, it felt like

90
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:40.240
<v Speaker 3>he settled for it. Levine quick strike response a three

91
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 3>pointer of his own. Six point game. DJ misses a three.

92
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:49.439
<v Speaker 3>I didn't love that shot either. He was open, but

93
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:51.920
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to see the Clippers force the issue, get

94
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 3>to the paint or die trying. Fifty cent was in

95
00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:01.360
<v Speaker 3>the building. Levin another three. It is a three point game,

96
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.600
<v Speaker 3>ninety nine to ninety six. With a minute twenty four left,

97
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:14.120
<v Speaker 3>Harden gets fouled by Sibonis on a floater, was short,

98
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:20.399
<v Speaker 3>makes the first free throw, misses the second. Four point

99
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:25.560
<v Speaker 3>game done in for norm for defensive purposes. DeMar Derosen jumper.

100
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:32.959
<v Speaker 3>Two point game. Harden, Kawhi, Zubots Bogie and Norma out

101
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.600
<v Speaker 3>there with fifty one point six seconds left, and this

102
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:41.720
<v Speaker 3>was probably the play of the game. Harden misses a

103
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:48.680
<v Speaker 3>jumper put back, no another rebound, Harden gets to the

104
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:56.959
<v Speaker 3>Norm to Kawhi pump fakes and missus Kawhi tip to

105
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 3>Norm to James Harden, who gets fouled. I think they

106
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:08.800
<v Speaker 3>got three offensive rebounds on one possession. Here's the call.

107
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:12.920
<v Speaker 4>Harden letting the shot clock drip away forty seconds left,

108
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.639
<v Speaker 4>thirty eight seconds, tend to shoot Harden deep on the

109
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:17.959
<v Speaker 4>right side, with eight seconds switch by Ellis.

110
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:18.800
<v Speaker 3>It's hardened against.

111
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.639
<v Speaker 4>Ellis stops right over, pulls up off the background, rebound

112
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.959
<v Speaker 4>in the air. Harden's put back short redown again for

113
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.680
<v Speaker 4>the Beard flip it a Norman Poud flippers up by

114
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:31.680
<v Speaker 4>two twenty four seconds left nine to shoot. Harden right wing,

115
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:34.679
<v Speaker 4>finds Norm attacks the defense, jumps the air Leonard left

116
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:38.600
<v Speaker 4>corner face Slane jumper off the heel, Soo can't grab

117
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.480
<v Speaker 4>the rebound. Tap to Norman pal shot fluck goes dord

118
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.720
<v Speaker 4>Tacramento has to foul, and Kegan Murray hacks Harden at

119
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.960
<v Speaker 4>half court with ten point one to go, one hundred

120
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:55.440
<v Speaker 4>ninety eight. Clippers the hustle the difference against the Kings.

121
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:00.279
<v Speaker 3>Carlo Jmenez on the call. Daniel West with the highlight package. There,

122
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:07.200
<v Speaker 3>that's the game. You know why, because the Clippers had

123
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:14.440
<v Speaker 3>just seven offensive rebounds total tonight. They got three on

124
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:27.919
<v Speaker 3>that possession. Incredible. The Kings had eleven offensive rebounds, they

125
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:32.360
<v Speaker 3>had fourteen second chance points, the Clippers just six. But

126
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:38.399
<v Speaker 3>that possession, ironically, was the Clippers getting the best of

127
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:42.399
<v Speaker 3>them on the boards and showing that grit and toughness

128
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:49.759
<v Speaker 3>when they had to have it. Only problem was, well,

129
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:56.720
<v Speaker 3>James Harden's back at the free throw line makes the first.

130
00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:02.360
<v Speaker 3>It's one oh one ninety eight. This is the second.

131
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:08.240
<v Speaker 3>Here was another underrated big play late coach Lou calling

132
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:12.039
<v Speaker 3>for James Harden to foul Zach Levine. You're up by three.

133
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.480
<v Speaker 3>Don't let him get a shot off. He just hit

134
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 3>two threes. I always subscribe to that philosophy. Why let

135
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:25.240
<v Speaker 3>him get a shot off? The fear is he takes

136
00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:28.200
<v Speaker 3>a shot and you foul him then and it turns

137
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:32.200
<v Speaker 3>into a four point play or at least three free throws.

138
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:36.120
<v Speaker 3>How many times has that actually happened. It's so rare.

139
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.879
<v Speaker 3>You know what's less rare just letting them take a

140
00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:41.960
<v Speaker 3>three pointer or down three to tie the game and

141
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:46.320
<v Speaker 3>making it that strategy by the Clippers play the foul

142
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.399
<v Speaker 3>game Zach Levine would go to the line with three

143
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.159
<v Speaker 3>point nine seconds left off the intentional foul from James

144
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:57.039
<v Speaker 3>Harden hit both. It's one on one to one hundred.

145
00:10:57.360 --> 00:11:03.759
<v Speaker 3>Time out, Clippers. They call it in bounds play with

146
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Harden as the trigger man. He doesn't throw it into

147
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:14.720
<v Speaker 3>the backcourt to Norman Powell. There's about to be a

148
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:21.879
<v Speaker 3>five second violation. He forces it into Bogey. It was

149
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:26.480
<v Speaker 3>a great steal by Keegan Murray and it's Kings ball

150
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:32.120
<v Speaker 3>down one with two point two seconds left. Seems similar

151
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:34.039
<v Speaker 3>to a game with the Clippers down one against the

152
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.200
<v Speaker 3>Kings in overtime, not that long ago. Back and into

153
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.399
<v Speaker 3>it Dome where Kawhi hit the game winner with the

154
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:46.360
<v Speaker 3>lefty floater. Are the Kings about to return the favor?

155
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:53.559
<v Speaker 3>No final possession well defended. DeMar Derosen tried to draw

156
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:55.960
<v Speaker 3>the foul and split the defense of Done and of

157
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Eatsa Zubats on a long right wing three. They didn't

158
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.840
<v Speaker 3>give it to Himlippers go on to win one on

159
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:06.360
<v Speaker 3>one to one hundred, and now you can have that

160
00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:09.840
<v Speaker 3>sigh of relief, Clipper Nation. We'll take a quick time out,

161
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:12.840
<v Speaker 3>we'll come back. We'll get to your phone calls Ray Alex,

162
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:17.720
<v Speaker 3>we're getting to you next. Clippers win by one in Sacramento.

163
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.279
<v Speaker 3>If they can win on Sunday in San Francisco against

164
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:25.600
<v Speaker 3>Golden State, there'll be the five seed at worse if

165
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:32.720
<v Speaker 3>they lose that game, infinite possibilities, but a good chance

166
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:36.960
<v Speaker 3>they'll be in the play in More on that. What

167
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:39.399
<v Speaker 3>could happen on Sunday next year? On Clippers Stock in

168
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:41.799
<v Speaker 3>the Patriot Amlym fifty The.

169
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Clippers.

170
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:49.039
<v Speaker 2>You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball, take us with you

171
00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:52.080
<v Speaker 2>wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app.

172
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:59.919
<v Speaker 3>Clippers Fine away. Heys to Marto Rosen trying to try

173
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:02.519
<v Speaker 3>that foul Lay didn't get it, didn't get the shot,

174
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.720
<v Speaker 3>and the Clippers win one on one to one hundred

175
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.759
<v Speaker 3>in Sacramento. They'll finish off this twenty twenty four to

176
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.519
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty five season in San Francisco on Sunday against

177
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:17.159
<v Speaker 3>the Golden State Warriors. Ray and Redondo Beach, you're first

178
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.320
<v Speaker 3>up here are Clippers stock without a mazzle?

179
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:25.600
<v Speaker 5>Thanks Adam. I wanted to talk to Clipper Nation. I've

180
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:29.320
<v Speaker 5>seen a lot of posts online people crapping on Harden.

181
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.240
<v Speaker 5>It wasn't a great way to close the game, he

182
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:34.440
<v Speaker 5>still got us a triple double. And don't you forget

183
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:37.360
<v Speaker 5>he's been the our MVP of the season and that

184
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:40.480
<v Speaker 5>man has carried us through thick and thin. So it's

185
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:44.759
<v Speaker 5>now our turn to have his back. So anyone who's

186
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:46.600
<v Speaker 5>based in the Los Angeles area, I want to see

187
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:49.039
<v Speaker 5>you into a dome on Sunday. We're gonna get loud,

188
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:51.960
<v Speaker 5>we're gonna support our team, and we're gonna get the

189
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:53.639
<v Speaker 5>fifth seed at least.

190
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:55.519
<v Speaker 6>So let's go clips.

191
00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:59.679
<v Speaker 3>I love it, ray Light, the positivity getting Harden's back.

192
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:04.120
<v Speaker 3>There My only problem with the way this game. Not

193
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:06.960
<v Speaker 3>my only problem, it's a big problem. It's a real problem.

194
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:12.279
<v Speaker 3>First of all, good process is not as important as

195
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:14.639
<v Speaker 3>just results. At this point, you would love to have both.

196
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:18.120
<v Speaker 3>We didn't get it down the stretch. They got outscored

197
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:21.200
<v Speaker 3>fifteen to six. I believe in the last five minutes

198
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:26.120
<v Speaker 3>they almost let this one go because of miss free

199
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:30.240
<v Speaker 3>throws a turnover on an inbounds pass as well well.

200
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:35.840
<v Speaker 3>When the Clippers have had bad losses this season, those

201
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:40.559
<v Speaker 3>two things were prevalent, and they even had those in

202
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:45.120
<v Speaker 3>some wins. It has been an issue going back to

203
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.879
<v Speaker 3>Game one against Phoenix up nine with three and a

204
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.720
<v Speaker 3>half minutes left. That was an into a dome. James

205
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:56.159
<v Speaker 3>Harden missed some free throws late in that one that

206
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:00.960
<v Speaker 3>would lead to a loss. They had some bad turnovers

207
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.080
<v Speaker 3>up in Sacramento that almost led to a loss earlier

208
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:14.159
<v Speaker 3>this season. I don't love that, but I'll take the

209
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:19.440
<v Speaker 3>victory and move on. But yeah, I can't just erase

210
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:23.080
<v Speaker 3>the last five minutes of the game and act like

211
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:28.360
<v Speaker 3>the Clippers executed well down the stretch. And if it

212
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.559
<v Speaker 3>happens in a playoff or a playing game or on

213
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Sunday against the Golden State Warriors and they have those

214
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:42.799
<v Speaker 3>same miscues, you're probably gonna lose. So they do have

215
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:49.600
<v Speaker 3>to be better. In the first quarter, Norman Palell had

216
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:54.279
<v Speaker 3>ten points. He was my player to watch. I did

217
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:56.799
<v Speaker 3>like how he looked overall, even though he finished with

218
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:01.720
<v Speaker 3>just sixteen. It was a low scoring game. Kawhi Leonard

219
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:04.399
<v Speaker 3>had twenty of his twenty eight in the first half,

220
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.480
<v Speaker 3>was very aggressive and hit that three pointer before the

221
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:09.120
<v Speaker 3>half was over to put him up by one at

222
00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:11.799
<v Speaker 3>fifty to forty nine. And then James Harden had the

223
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:13.840
<v Speaker 3>big third quarter where he had nine of his twenty

224
00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:16.080
<v Speaker 3>three points in the game, and yes, he still finished

225
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:19.360
<v Speaker 3>with a triple double. Just you can't have that turnover.

226
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:22.639
<v Speaker 3>You can't have the miss free throws late, and that

227
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:27.440
<v Speaker 3>has been an unfortunate trend for this team missing free throws.

228
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.519
<v Speaker 3>Layton games, Norman Powell missed two free throws in a

229
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:41.120
<v Speaker 3>row again. He did it on Tuesday against the Spurs.

230
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:45.759
<v Speaker 3>That stuff can't happen. So I'm not gonna act like

231
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:50.440
<v Speaker 3>there aren't things that they can do much better. Bottom line,

232
00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:55.840
<v Speaker 3>that got the win. It's great. I'll take that over everything,

233
00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:03.000
<v Speaker 3>but I'm also gonna play point out some of the shortcomings. Luckily,

234
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:06.440
<v Speaker 3>DJ had nine of his eleven in the fourth quarter

235
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:10.160
<v Speaker 3>and Harden had some great feeds to him on a

236
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:14.599
<v Speaker 3>lob on a long outlet pass. Where would they be

237
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.599
<v Speaker 3>without Derek Jones Junior this season? Incredible? Soon as they

238
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:22.119
<v Speaker 3>lost Paul George, they called off negotiations. They went out

239
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.240
<v Speaker 3>and got him right away. They pivoted to defense immediately.

240
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:28.960
<v Speaker 3>That steal and score he had on Zach Lavine to

241
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:33.279
<v Speaker 3>put them up nine in the fourth quarter. Just ballhawk,

242
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:36.559
<v Speaker 3>Alex and Florida. You're on clipperstoft with that mouleson what's

243
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:37.279
<v Speaker 3>up Alex.

244
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:41.480
<v Speaker 6>What's up at him. I don't know. If you've just

245
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:43.640
<v Speaker 6>seen the thing with Anthony Edward. I think he could

246
00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:47.200
<v Speaker 6>be suspended for the for the next game because he

247
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:49.519
<v Speaker 6>got eighteen technical fouls for this season.

248
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.680
<v Speaker 3>I thought seventeen was an automatic suspension. Is it eighteen

249
00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:58.480
<v Speaker 3>or is it past seventeen?

250
00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:00.640
<v Speaker 6>Oh, if you look at if you look it up,

251
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:05.440
<v Speaker 6>he's just got his eighteenth one uh for the season.

252
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:08.200
<v Speaker 6>I think he could be out for the He's facing

253
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:09.400
<v Speaker 6>on one game suspension.

254
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:16.599
<v Speaker 3>If this technical isn't rescinded, he will miss the game

255
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:21.440
<v Speaker 3>on Sunday. You're right, it probably will be. I don't know,

256
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:24.200
<v Speaker 3>based upon the way I'm seeing people talk about it online.

257
00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:28.880
<v Speaker 3>And I don't think the NBA wants that. But yes,

258
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:32.640
<v Speaker 3>that is a wrinkle to all of this. They're still

259
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:34.960
<v Speaker 3>playing Utah, who has nothing to play for, and they

260
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.680
<v Speaker 3>should probably win even without Anthony Edwards. But my guess

261
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:40.720
<v Speaker 3>is it gets rescinded. But anything else you want to

262
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:41.480
<v Speaker 3>say about this game?

263
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:47.599
<v Speaker 6>Ouse, Yeah, okay, I don't know. Would you? I don't

264
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:49.119
<v Speaker 6>know when the next time? Well you you do. You've

265
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:50.680
<v Speaker 6>been doing Clippers talk like every day.

266
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:53.079
<v Speaker 3>You don't know when the next Clippers talk is.

267
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:57.519
<v Speaker 6>Every day you every day, every day.

268
00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:00.440
<v Speaker 3>If I'm alive, it's happening tomorrow. I got my cousin

269
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.039
<v Speaker 3>Big Mike coming on. Who's the Warriors fan? We'll preview

270
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:05.680
<v Speaker 3>that game on Sunday?

271
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:09.079
<v Speaker 6>I think, But how come last week when we all

272
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:12.680
<v Speaker 6>were tied up, the Clippers were ahead of everyone else,

273
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:15.079
<v Speaker 6>when everybody had the same record. The Clippers were ahead

274
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:19.200
<v Speaker 6>of everyone, So why would it not be the same

275
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:24.240
<v Speaker 6>thing now if you remember last week? And so, I

276
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:26.319
<v Speaker 6>don't know how that wouldn't be the same case because

277
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:28.799
<v Speaker 6>we have the tiebreaker against the Warriors whether they lose

278
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:32.839
<v Speaker 6>or win, and they have it against the Wolves. So

279
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:35.200
<v Speaker 6>how could the Worries. I don't understand how they would

280
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:36.559
<v Speaker 6>be ahead of us.

281
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:39.559
<v Speaker 3>I need someone smarter than me to point this out.

282
00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:42.400
<v Speaker 3>But at that time they had the same record as Denver,

283
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:48.279
<v Speaker 3>and Denver uh they won again.

284
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:51.559
<v Speaker 6>So they went in front of us now.

285
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:57.799
<v Speaker 3>Because they have because right because the head to head

286
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:00.160
<v Speaker 3>tie breaker. Well, they finished two and two against them

287
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:02.960
<v Speaker 3>in the regular season, but Denver has the better conference record,

288
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:06.319
<v Speaker 3>so that pushes them ahead of the Clippers. And of

289
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:10.240
<v Speaker 3>course that game in Denver after the fires in Southern California,

290
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:13.720
<v Speaker 3>that everybody says shouldn't have been played looms large right now.

291
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:20.359
<v Speaker 3>That hurt them, and obviously having a rescheduled game because

292
00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:22.559
<v Speaker 3>they were only scheduled for three games against Denver this year.

293
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:24.359
<v Speaker 3>They were two to one against them, but then coming

294
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:27.240
<v Speaker 3>out of the n Season Tournament, they had another game

295
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:29.440
<v Speaker 3>against Denver. That's who they caught, so it gave them

296
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:31.359
<v Speaker 3>a chance to tie the season series at two to two.

297
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:34.200
<v Speaker 3>They're both forty nine and thirty two. And because it

298
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:37.240
<v Speaker 3>goes from head ahead and then bumps down to conference record,

299
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:39.440
<v Speaker 3>and Denver's thirty one and twenty in conference and the

300
00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:41.839
<v Speaker 3>Clippers are just twenty eight and twenty three. That's why

301
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:42.680
<v Speaker 3>they're behind Denver.

302
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:46.680
<v Speaker 6>No, I understand that Denver one. I just don't know

303
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:49.000
<v Speaker 6>how Golden State could be ahead of as those.

304
00:20:50.839 --> 00:20:53.799
<v Speaker 3>Well they're not now Golden.

305
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:56.599
<v Speaker 6>State, Okay, if we lose to them now, because they're

306
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.200
<v Speaker 6>one game behind us, they've they've lost the game. See

307
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:02.400
<v Speaker 6>how they would get ahead of it at all?

308
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:05.680
<v Speaker 3>Even I think I think it's because at that point

309
00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:09.039
<v Speaker 3>it would come back to three way ties like that

310
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:12.920
<v Speaker 3>would get that would get extremely messy. But Alex, do

311
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:14.519
<v Speaker 3>you have anything else say about today's game?

312
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.000
<v Speaker 6>Oh no, no, I'll let you get to another call.

313
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:20.960
<v Speaker 6>I appreciate you, Adam. I was just very confused about

314
00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:22.359
<v Speaker 6>that because I don't know what's going.

315
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:27.359
<v Speaker 3>On that's consensus right now. But the Clippers did win

316
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:29.079
<v Speaker 3>one on one to one hundred. Quick time out here

317
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:30.640
<v Speaker 3>on Clippers Stock will come back. We'll get to more

<v Speaker 3>as the Clippers are at forty nine wins on the

322
00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:46.440
<v Speaker 3>season after winning by one up in Sacramento and a

323
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:48.720
<v Speaker 3>chance to get to fifty wins if they could win

324
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:54.079
<v Speaker 3>in Golden State or in San Francisco on Sunday.

325
00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:57.440

329
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:10.680
<v Speaker 3>Clippers one on one, King's one hundred. Wipe the sweat

330
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:13.599
<v Speaker 3>from your brow because the Clippers made us sweat in

331
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:17.880
<v Speaker 3>this one. Big time miss free throws, a turnover late,

332
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:25.079
<v Speaker 3>they sweep Sacramento low, they come through Elvis in La

333
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:26.799
<v Speaker 3>you're a Clipper stop without a Maslin?

334
00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:30.039
<v Speaker 6>What's up at him? How you doing?

335
00:22:30.839 --> 00:22:31.599
<v Speaker 3>What's up? Els?

336
00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:35.359
<v Speaker 7>I was just I was just calling because when I

337
00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:37.559
<v Speaker 7>was watching the first quarter, I was like, what is

338
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:40.680
<v Speaker 7>going on? Why is everyone moving like it's warm up?

339
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:43.200
<v Speaker 7>I felt like they came out of the gate super slow.

340
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:45.160
<v Speaker 7>What did you think during the first quarter?

341
00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:49.000
<v Speaker 3>You think they came out of the gate slow. I

342
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:54.319
<v Speaker 3>think both teams were missing. Uh maybe, I don't know.

343
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:57.359
<v Speaker 3>I thought there was some good defense being played early on,

344
00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:02.720
<v Speaker 3>and the Clippers had. My issue was the turnovers to

345
00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:05.279
<v Speaker 3>start things off. I mean, this game was plagued by

346
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:09.480
<v Speaker 3>offensive fouls. I've never seen so many offensive fouls called.

347
00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:13.200
<v Speaker 3>There might have been seven. I've never seen anything like it. Yeah,

348
00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:16.000
<v Speaker 3>we had an offensive foul on one end, offensive foul

349
00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:18.519
<v Speaker 3>on the other end. Just back to back dueling offensive

350
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.759
<v Speaker 3>fouls going on. But the Clippers had six or seven

351
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:26.119
<v Speaker 3>turnovers in the first quarter alone. They cleaned it up

352
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:28.039
<v Speaker 3>in the second quarter, and then the Kings ended up

353
00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:30.680
<v Speaker 3>having seven turnovers I think in the second and the

354
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.119
<v Speaker 3>Clippers led by one at the half. They win this

355
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:37.359
<v Speaker 3>game by one, one oh one to one hundred in Sacramento.

356
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:40.880
<v Speaker 3>But yes, I know when people were complaining about the officiating.

357
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:43.079
<v Speaker 3>A lot of this is about the offensive fouls that

358
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:47.480
<v Speaker 3>were called, and they were just offensive foul happy the refs.

359
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:49.240
<v Speaker 3>We'll take a quick time out, we'll come back, we'll

360
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:55.519
<v Speaker 3>close things out. Clippers by one. All's well, then ends well? Right,

361
00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:59.480
<v Speaker 3>win's a win. Right, There's some things to clean up,

362
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:02.440
<v Speaker 3>especially because the same things have been happening all season long,

363
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:05.160
<v Speaker 3>and they almost cost them this ball game, and they

364
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:07.640
<v Speaker 3>will in the playoffs or on Sunday if they happen again.

365
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:10.079
<v Speaker 3>Most likely, I'm out of Bosland. When you're listening to

366
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:12.160
<v Speaker 3>Clippers talking here on the Patriot avlone fifty.

367
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:20.480
<v Speaker 2>The League Clippers, you're listening to LA Clippers Basketball, take

368
00:24:20.559 --> 00:24:23.759
<v Speaker 2>us with you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app.

369
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:27.240
<v Speaker 3>I would highly recommend that the Clippers win on Sunday

370
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:30.359
<v Speaker 3>against the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco and avoid

371
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:33.960
<v Speaker 3>the playing. But hey, that's just me, maybe because I've

372
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:36.240
<v Speaker 3>seen what can happen in the playing before. I remember

373
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:39.519
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty two didn't go well for the Clippers. They

374
00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:43.559
<v Speaker 3>win their worst the fifth seed on Sunday. You lose,

375
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.319
<v Speaker 3>you're likely the seventh seed taken on the Memphis Grizzlies

376
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.960
<v Speaker 3>in a seven to eight matchup. Winner goes on to

377
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:52.440
<v Speaker 3>play Houston. The first round loser plays the winner of

378
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:56.079
<v Speaker 3>the nine to ten playing game. I don't know, guys,

379
00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:59.079
<v Speaker 3>that could get scary. It was scary enough in this

380
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:00.640
<v Speaker 3>game where the Clippers pull. We're out one on, one

381
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:02.359
<v Speaker 3>to one hundred before we get out of here is

382
00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:05.880
<v Speaker 3>the Clippers won in Sacramento. I want to thank Clippers organization,
