Is the Clippers 16 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.520 improved at twenty one to seventeen on the season and 17 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:46.600 they're taking on one of the worst teams in the league. 18 00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:50.600 Backing into a dome on Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. 19 00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:52.799 If you'd like to get on eight six six ninety 20 00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.520 seven two five seventy eight six six ninety seven two 21 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.200 five seventy. There's some people in here disagreeing with me. 22 00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:02.520 They want the smoke call in, call in, pull up, 23 00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:07.079 then call in the Clippers talk tonight. I'll hope you 24 00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.840 understand why Chris Dunn is so invaluable to this team. 25 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.079 How he can go one for ten out there, oh 26 00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:17.840 of six from three and still be a plus ten 27 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:23.000 and win his minutes. Because it turns out, if you're 28 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.959 holding the other team down with great defense, even if 29 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.560 you struggle with your individual offense, you can still make 30 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:32.760 a huge impact on winning the ballgame. Oh, by the way, 31 00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:37.599 he also had to eight assists. Seems kind of important 32 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:41.280 to just two turnovers. The reason coach lou has wanted 33 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:44.040 Chris Dunn out there is to have another ball handler. 34 00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.959 That was the reasoning behind playing him versus Derek Jones Junior, 35 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:53.359 who will also get starts. It is a rotating situation 36 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.000 with those two players right now, but Chris Dunn has 37 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.239 started all three games with Kawhi Leonard back in the 38 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.480 starting lineup so far. But I think by the end 39 00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:08.560 of the season Derek Jones Junior will be in the 40 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:11.000 starting lineup if the Clippers are fully healthy, with Kawhi 41 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:15.400 Leonard back to playing thirty to thirty five minutes. This 42 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:19.439 Clippers team, though tonight, really flexed their muscles in the 43 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.360 second half and it kind of started earlier in that 44 00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:28.000 second quarter for them because the game was a struggle 45 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:33.879 defensively in the first when Miami was hitting everything and 46 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:38.159 playing at a faster pace. Uncharacteristically playing at a much 47 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:41.520 faster pace than we anticipated. No Bam out of Bio 48 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:45.319 that came out about an hour before tip off, so 49 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.400 they kind of switched to their style up. It was 50 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.120 all running through Tyler Hero and he got off to 51 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:55.360 a really good start and they were knocking down three pointers, 52 00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:00.639 he and Kevin Love, and that first quarter was problematic 53 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.919 for the Clippers defense, but a lot of it was 54 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:08.000 just hot shooting from the Miami heat. There were some 55 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.479 open shots, but let me tell you, there was some 56 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:12.280 open shots in the second half of they missed. Just 57 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.240 because they're open doesn't mean a team makes each and 58 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.240 every one. That's why we have data now where you 59 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.759 can see open shots, what team shoot, wide open shots, 60 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:26.400 what team shoot. Tyler Hero had two three pointers in 61 00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.520 the first quarter, Kevin Love hit three of them in 62 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:33.159 his seven minutes, and the Clippers were down by seven 63 00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:36.759 thirty five to twenty eight. I didn't hate the way 64 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.120 they were playing. I didn't hate the way they were 65 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.719 scrambling defensively, I felt like there was a heat culture 66 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.919 shock because Miami typically plays slower. Instead, it looked like 67 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.159 they were playing faster, a more wide open game without 68 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:54.400 Bam out there, and they had basically a five out lineup. 69 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:59.319 They had multiple guys that could shoot from the outside, 70 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.960 and they took it advantage of that with the Clippers, 71 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:07.919 which kind of frustrated me. Was a beats Zubats. He 72 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:11.879 had seven points in the first quarter, started three of three, 73 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.479 had seven and four, and even though and I know, 74 00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:19.720 I know, I know, he ended with twenty one and twenty, 75 00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.519 I'm still frustrated with him not getting more opportunities because 76 00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:29.079 he was that good tonight. Because Miami without Bam, they 77 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:33.279 don't have the interior defense to hang and I think 78 00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:35.399 there was an easier way to win this game, maybe 79 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:41.079 or at least score in uh the first half. When 80 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:46.600 to start that second quarter, the Clippers had just three 81 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.160 points the first five minutes of the second The good 82 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:55.079 news was Miami only had two, but the Clippers were 83 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.199 still down by five at the half. Now, as for 84 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.120 how Kawhi Leonard looked early on, he missed a three 85 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.600 pointer to start on the left wing, was short with 86 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.160 it missed a mid range shot that kind of swirled 87 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:12.600 in and out on the left elbow, but then had 88 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.399 a jumper out of a timeout on the right elbow, 89 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.920 and I had said, I bet you they're going ato 90 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.600 to Kawhi Leonard out of this timeout, and surely enough 91 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.000 that's what happened. Dad, follow out of may you can 92 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.560 follow me for stuff like that. Then he pulled up, 93 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.920 hit another midi with some quickness as he blew by 94 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:37.199 his defender and Terry Rozier to pull up on the 95 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:42.160 far side mid post for it look good. Went to 96 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.160 the bench that was on the first quarter at the 97 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.800 four to forty seven mark. Came back in the second quarter, 98 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:52.800 missed a three, missed a left elbow jumper a step 99 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:55.160 back on his defender. It was a nice move. He 100 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:59.399 just couldn't get to go. Third quarter, missed a three pointer. 101 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.959 He had a couple of steals though that I think 102 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:07.360 helped turn the game in the clippers favor, help gather 103 00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:11.399 momentum and really never relinquish it. They were up sixty 104 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.680 two to sixty one, I believe when Kawhi Leonard left 105 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.120 the game right at the six minute mark of the 106 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:22.759 third quarter, and he had back to back steals. Heimi 107 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:24.920 Hawkes was just throwing the basketball away. I don't know 108 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:26.600 if he was trying to do too much tonight. And 109 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.079 he's had an off year or sophomore slump, you could say, 110 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.759 after he finished fourth and Rookie of the Year last 111 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.279 season for Miami. But he ended up with five turnovers. 112 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:38.000 That's the outlier for them getting to fifteen turnovers when 113 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.319 they only averaged thirteen. Heimi hawk As junior himself had 114 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.600 five trying to do a little bit too much, too 115 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:48.079 much dip on the chip, you could say, just Kawhi 116 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.560 was snatching the ball away from him right before he 117 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.079 was subbed out at that six minute mark. He did 118 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.920 miss a gimme in transition that you don't typically see 119 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.680 Kawhi Leonard miss. So there's still some rusts there. It's 120 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.839 not perfect, but I said I wanted to see him 121 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:06.920 knock down something in the mid range because he hadn't 122 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:09.759 done that yet through two games, and he hit two, 123 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:15.800 both in the first quarter. So Kawhi ends up with 124 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:22.879 six points total, three of nine shooting, five boards, two 125 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:27.199 steals in twenty one minutes a plus two as the 126 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.120 Clippers were just starting to take the lead. When he 127 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.439 left the ballgame. I want to say, I want to 128 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:36.639 say it was sixty two sixty one. Yes it was. 129 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:40.079 So they led by one. Kawhi Leonard goes out in 130 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:46.319 the third quarter, but also right before that, James Harden 131 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:48.920 had just scored a couple of threes and a floater, 132 00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:56.360 so he had what eighth straight points for them at 133 00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:01.279 one point in that third quarter, but Kawhi go Then 134 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.360 Norm hits a three after a steal by Chris Dunn, 135 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:08.959 who people aren't realizing is that good defensively that he 136 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:10.800 can make up for a night where he goes one 137 00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:13.879 of ten from the field. Zuo had some great defense 138 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:17.560 on a Tyler Hero drive. Norm hits another three pointer. 139 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:23.199 It's seventy sixty three Clippers. Then they go small ball 140 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:27.639 to end the quarter with batoum Amir, DJ KPJ and 141 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:31.759 James Harden to end the third quarter, and Harden has 142 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.440 this unbelievable long outlet pass to Kevin Porter Junior over 143 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.639 the top of the defense for a layup. Then a 144 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.600 steal by DJ puts the Clippers up eight at seventy 145 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:47.000 four to sixty six. Harden clamped Tyler Hero on a 146 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.399 possession on the left wing where he couldn't drive on him. 147 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:51.159 Then but Toom had a block who was a takeaway. 148 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:53.159 They couldn't capitalize on that. But then Harden had a 149 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.639 step back three to put the Clippers up nine with 150 00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:59.919 thirty one seconds left. Then good defense on Heimi Hoki 151 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:04.000 as Harden cause the turnover and then gets a floater 152 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:07.399 to end the third quarter. He has thirteen half of 153 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:10.159 his twenty six points in the third quarter alone. Norm 154 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.480 had eleven points in the third. The Clippers went on 155 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.600 a twenty eight to nine run at one point, and 156 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:19.360 they led by eleven at seventy nine to sixty eight 157 00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:23.559 coming out of the third. They won the fast break 158 00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:29.399 points in the third quarter seventeen to two. The Clippers 159 00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:34.480 defense led to offense again. This Miami Heat team, they 160 00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.480 don't turn the ball over much tonight. They had fifteen 161 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:40.799 and the Clippers turn make it sixteen and the Clippers 162 00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:45.480 turn that in to twenty seven points. That is a 163 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:50.360 huge number and the Clippers only had twelve turnovers. My 164 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:52.840 key to this ballgame coming in you know Miami's they're 165 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:55.000 probably not going to turn over much, so you gotta 166 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.159 be more sound with the basketball so you still win 167 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:01.080 the possession battle. Miami did turn it over more than usual, 168 00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:04.679 and the Clippers turned it over less than usual. In fact, 169 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.279 you look at the box score, you take away who 170 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.000 had more turnovers, you would think, okay, yeah, the Clippers 171 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:13.559 had their usual sixteen turnovers and Miami had their usual twelve. 172 00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.639 But no Clippers beat them at their own game, so 173 00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:20.440 that was good to see. Clippers got up ninety three shots, 174 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:23.039 Miami eighty five. Some of that was because they went 175 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:24.639 to the free throw line. In fact, at one point, 176 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:29.480 Tyler Hero had more free throws attempted the entire Clippers team. 177 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:34.120 He had twelve in the ballgame. You know what, he 178 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:36.919 ended up with more free throws than the entire Clippers team. 179 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:40.639 He had twelve than the Clippers had, or he had 180 00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.279 two more than the Clippers had. With twelve free throws attempted, 181 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:47.480 the Clippers as a team attempted just ten. But for 182 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:52.200 the seventh time this season, the Clippers got twenty plus 183 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.200 from their Big three. Norman Powell was twenty nine, I beached, 184 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.080 the Zubox was twenty one. James Harden went twenty six. 185 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:07.320 Guess what that ties? They're Big three all having twenty 186 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:10.320 plus points all of last season. What was the Big three, 187 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:16.320 then James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George. They had seven 188 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.279 instances where all three of those players last season had 189 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:25.679 twenty plus points. The Clippers now have that same seven 190 00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:31.480 number of times with insert instead of Kawhi you can 191 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.279 say it's a beat to Zubots instead of Paul George, 192 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:38.039 you can say addition, by some subtraction, it's Norman Palell 193 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:42.279 and the new big three with Big Zoo was Zuno 194 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.840 with him and James Harden next to Norman Powell has 195 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:53.200 already matched last seasons seven times. Seven instances of their 196 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:57.639 Big three back with Kawhi, PG and James Harden all 197 00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:59.960 going for twenty plus points in a game. It happens 198 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:02.320 seven times last season. It's already happened with this new 199 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:09.240 big three seven times this year. That is impressive the 200 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.320 way the Clippers have been able to do this. I 201 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.679 couldn't be I say it all the time, but more 202 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:21.440 proud of this team. They got back to playing much 203 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:25.600 better defense in this game. Outside of hot Miami heat 204 00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:30.039 shooting in the first quarter, the defense was great. I 205 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:32.000 know Miami put up a thirty spot in the fourth, 206 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:33.879 but there was some garbage time at the end where 207 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.200 they scored some buckets, but overall, the Clippers defense was 208 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:43.159 outstanding and Miami only happened thirteen points in the second quarter. 209 00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:47.360 I know they don't have Bam, they don't have Jimmy. 210 00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:53.320 The Clippers have Kawhi on a twenty minute limit and 211 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:57.480 not looking like himself yet, but still positive signs. But 212 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:01.720 I'm just saying they're not fully up to speed. I'm 213 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:04.399 sure Miami will look better the next time they play them. 214 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.440 But part of this was just the Clippers defense being 215 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.840 that good, doing what they're supposed to do, what we've 216 00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.960 been accustomed to seeing this season. Clamp City has returned. 217 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.840 So this is a really positive and solid win for 218 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.240 this Clippers team after four days off, and I know, 219 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.480 really encouraging and any joy you can get right now 220 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:35.600 here in Los Angeles, you will take breath of fresh air. 221 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:40.440 Could say it's just nice to see basketball, nice to 222 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:44.360 see the Clippers' identity and them getting back to basics 223 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:50.279 and getting a victory. Just a nice distraction, something else 224 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:53.120 to focus on for a couple hours. Right, That's what 225 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:56.279 we're looking for here in southern California. Before we break, 226 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:00.679 let's go to Ryan and Santa Ana, how are. 227 00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:02.919 You, hey, Adam, how's it going. 228 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:06.879 Oh, I'm hanging in there. We're all trying to appreciate 229 00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:07.480 the phone call. 230 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.600 What's yeah, Bro, Seriously, I'm super proud of Zoo with 231 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:15.120 his twenty twenty game. I'm really glad that he's been 232 00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:16.399 breaking out this season. 233 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:18.399 Uh. 234 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:18.679 Yeah. 235 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.720 For some reason, the first half it's always very difficult. 236 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:26.200 The three point defense is always off and then somehow, 237 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:30.879 some way, the the other team is always like slowing 238 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:32.799 down in the second half, so that always helps out. 239 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.360 Our defense is great to Kawai needs to take a 240 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:39.000 little bit of time, so with the next two games 241 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.639 it should be working out. But I'm really proud of 242 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:44.320 our team. I'm really loving it and they make me 243 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:46.559 happy with all of this going on. 244 00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:49.000 Yeah, I appreciate the phone call. 245 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:49.320 Ryan. 246 00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:52.679 You know, it's good to have some joy and take 247 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:54.799 that away from this ball game. I know we all 248 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:56.879 have to get back to reality of what's been happening 249 00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:00.480 here with Los Angeles with the wildfires, but why not 250 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.200 get a little bit of a break here in Watching 251 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:06.559 near Los Angeles Clippers play the right way get a 252 00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.600 win can lift your spirits a little bit. We'll take 253 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:12.200 what we can get right now. As the Clippers win 254 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:15.480 one O nine to ninety eight over the Miami Heat. 255 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.639 Something you said there, though, Ryan just feels like as 256 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.440 time goes on, they tighten the vice script or the clamps. 257 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.960 The Clippers defense just starts to set in more and 258 00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:30.480 more and make life more difficult. They figure you out 259 00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:34.279 as the game goes along. Jeff Van Gundy, that defensive scheme, 260 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:38.720 that aggressive brand of defense by the Clippers. They had 261 00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:44.039 a possession where it was KPJ and Batoom who both 262 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:48.879 had a block. Was it on hero in that third quarter? 263 00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:53.240 It was just a really spectacular effort. And I thought 264 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.279 KPJ got off to a really slow start, started zero five. 265 00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:58.480 I was a little bit frustrated with some of the 266 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.440 shots selection, but up having a good ballgame and defensively 267 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.440 he had a couple of blocks. He only credited him 268 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.480 with one. There was a possession where he and but 269 00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:18.039 Toom took turns getting blocks. And that's the Clippers brand 270 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:20.720 of basketball. It has to be everyone doing it. Even 271 00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:24.000 James Harden had a couple of really good possessions defensively, 272 00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:27.759 It's not what he's typically known for. He had twenty 273 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:31.240 six eleven assists, just four turnovers. Great job taking care 274 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:36.639 of the basketball. But in the second half he had 275 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:40.840 a great defensive possession against Tyler Hero who had thirty two, 276 00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:45.080 and he didn't want to go to work against James Harden, 277 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:47.679 who had a different level of focus on the left wing. 278 00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:50.759 On this particular possession I'm thinking of in the second half, 279 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.279 everybody's got to do it. James has said that much 280 00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:58.759 like they can't all go out there and scrap and 281 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:01.639 play like this. I just don't give any effort on 282 00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:05.599 the defensive end. Grand Yeah, it can be spotty at times, 283 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:08.039 but with everything that is asked of him on the 284 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:10.559 offensive end, I'm okay with it. 285 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:11.559 All right. 286 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:13.319 We will take a quick time out. We'll come back. 287 00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:16.960 We'll get to your phone calls, Alan, Mike Jose hold 288 00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:21.000 on for me. Clippers, hold down for the city. One 289 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:23.640 oh nine ninety eight. They get the victory over the 290 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:29.119 Miami Heat. Clipernation, you can take a little bit more 291 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:32.000 out of this one. Just hey, we gotta watch a 292 00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:35.720 basketball game tonight. We gotta watch the Clippers victory. Love 293 00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:39.720 the way they played. It's something. It's something right now 294 00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:43.160 during these trying times. I'm Adam Mosland and you're listening 295 00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:47.400 to Clippers hockeyre on the m by seven E LA Sports. 296 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:55.359 The LA Clippers. You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball. Take 297 00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:58.559 us with you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app. 298 00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:02.519 Clippers win one on nine eight over the Miami Heat. 299 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.640 Try to take solace in just a Clippers victory right now. 300 00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:16.079 Obviously it has been a difficult week here in Los Angeles, 301 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:21.519 to say the least. And you're looking for any positives Clibernation. 302 00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:25.359 You got once tonight Clippers went by eleven over Miami. 303 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.640 I'm out of Maslin. This is Clippers Talk coming up. 304 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.359 We got postgame audio from coach lou But let's get 305 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.359 back to the phones. Alan calling from Are you still 306 00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:39.960 in the swell Allan or you just were there earlier 307 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:40.480 at the wall? 308 00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:44.680 I was there earlier. I'm driving home to Silver Lake. 309 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:46.680 But you know, it was a lot of fun. Everybody 310 00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:49.119 was really nice to each other. It was good to 311 00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:52.559 be in that group and asking everybody how they are, 312 00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:54.880 you know, just to nitpick one thing or just to 313 00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:58.480 notice something. It looked like Dary Jones really hurt his 314 00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:02.400 arm there his hand and he shot his hand and 315 00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:05.400 he shot that last free throw and he's barely moving 316 00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:07.960 that arm. And then Tyler had to call a time 317 00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:12.000 out basically because he wouldn't come out of the game, 318 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:14.200 it looked like. And that was what that last weird 319 00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:15.039 time out was for. 320 00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:19.799 Yeah, he's a tough guy. He ended up going to 321 00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:22.319 the locker room. He left the game. We'll give you 322 00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:23.839 an update on that if we have it, or we 323 00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:24.480 can find one. 324 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:27.680 And you know, not to kick him when he's down. 325 00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:31.279 But I do want to say he's got a great game, 326 00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:34.480 but he's got no arc on his three point shots, 327 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:37.039 on his long range shots, and it's a little frustrating 328 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:37.599 to watch. 329 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:39.920 Well, they look good when you shot fifty percent from 330 00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:44.720 three the first twelve games, right, Alan, Well, you know 331 00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:46.799 they didn't look good. 332 00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:49.960 You know you're mister stats. You know you're you're ruthless 333 00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:53.680 and relentless with with defeating every possible complaint I ever have. 334 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:56.519 But I don't want to be it's just staring me 335 00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.400 in the face. How do I not mention how good 336 00:19:58.480 --> 00:19:59.839 he shot it early in the season? 337 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.440 Okay, so what happened? Why has he got no arc 338 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.640 on a shot? I mean, he's They're clanking over and 339 00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:09.000 over again. It's frustrating to watch he is a. 340 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:13.160 Career thirty three point shooter. He's currently shooting or heading 341 00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:15.359 into this game with shooting thirty five percent from three, 342 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:19.759 So just like slightly below league average, he is going 343 00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:22.880 through a regression to the mean. That's typically what happens. 344 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.079 Somebody starts off hot, eventually it goes either way. It's 345 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:28.519 happened to Chris Dunn two. He's also a thirty two 346 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:30.599 career three point shooter. 347 00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:35.200 So I like Chris dunnshots. They look like good shots, 348 00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:36.279 they're just not going in. 349 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:40.680 I short, I'm more of a result driven guy, not 350 00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:44.160 just how it looks. If it's esthetically pleasing, but it 351 00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:45.960 doesn't go in, it doesn't mean anything more to me. 352 00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:50.799 Alan, But we know that those shots are supposed to 353 00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:53.160 have an ARC on him, and this physics tells you 354 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:55.039 they go in better with an ARC on him. 355 00:20:55.319 --> 00:20:56.599 And I'm sure you know. 356 00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:00.519 Kawhi sometimes has kind of a line drive three point shot, 357 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:02.519 yet he's one of the better three point shooters. I mean, 358 00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:08.079 there's been plenty of guys that go against that theory. Yeah, 359 00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:08.759 you know. 360 00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:13.400 What you know, don't be over and over again. Maybe 361 00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:15.480 I'm here just to be the heel for you to 362 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.480 win argument so listen, I'm happy with that role. It's 363 00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:20.359 great to hear you. I'm a big fan. I'm going 364 00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:22.440 to leave it at that. Thank you, Adam all. 365 00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:25.400 Right, calling on Wednesday again, Alan, Hopefully both guys shoot 366 00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:26.519 a little bit better from three. 367 00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:29.279 Thanks all right? 368 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:32.279 Uh Mike in La Mike Aaron clippers stock without a 369 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:33.160 MAS and what's up Mike? 370 00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.240 Well, first, obviously, I think we all needed this game. 371 00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:43.000 This was great, This is much much needed. But what 372 00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:46.319 was what was the reason why Kallengs didn't play? Was 373 00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:48.839 he injured or was he like injured or is it 374 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:50.240 just a coaching decision thing. 375 00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:52.119 We'll hear from coach Lou on that in a little 376 00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:52.519 bit here. 377 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.400 Anything else, Mike, Yeah, I mean you know what I 378 00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:58.960 guess the previous caller was also saying, is Chris Dunn. 379 00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:02.119 You know he's you know, bumping, but I think he's 380 00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:04.559 still got to keep shooting those and then yes he does. 381 00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:08.039 All these people are saying, stop shooting them. It's like, oh, 382 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.000 you want to play four on five? Is that how 383 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:12.519 you want to play? Like they had to do with 384 00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:16.440 Russ at times? If he stopped shooting because he's in 385 00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:21.240 a slump, A pretty steep one right now, Like teams 386 00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:24.359 are never going to respect him. Guys, Chris Dunn has 387 00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:27.440 to keep shooting those wide up in three pointers or 388 00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:30.440 else he gets really problematic. I know he went oh 389 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:32.519 for six. I know it doesn't look good right now. 390 00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:34.839 He also shot forty five percent from three the first 391 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:37.559 twelve games of the season. He's not as bad as 392 00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:40.440 it's looked lately. He's not as good as it was 393 00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:42.519 to start the season. He's not as bad as it 394 00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:48.039 looks now. Like if you don't shoot those, eventually you 395 00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:50.480 become a real liability on the offensive end, to the 396 00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:53.519 point where, yeah, his defense won't be able to make 397 00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:54.720 up for his lack of offense. 398 00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:58.400 And he did have eight assists also I saw. 399 00:22:58.440 --> 00:23:00.960 I mean, which was great to two turnovers. 400 00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:03.519 Eight assists, so like two turnovers, yeah, which is a 401 00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:06.799
