<v Speaker 2>a final of one twenty seven to one oh five.

<v Speaker 2>at eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy

16
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.880
<v Speaker 2>eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy is

17
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:49.079
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Clippers make it nine straight victories here

18
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 2>at the Dome. The Dome is home Clipper Nation. You

19
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 2>showed up again. You brought some energy and this Clippers team,

20
00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.399
<v Speaker 2>it took it out to the court with them. I

21
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.840
<v Speaker 2>really think developing that sixth man. They called it the

22
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:08.400
<v Speaker 2>twelfth Man up in Seattle. This is a six man

23
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 2>like atmosphere where the Clippers just get a little bit

24
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.680
<v Speaker 2>of an extra boost out here in a jolt as

25
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:18.120
<v Speaker 2>a mere coffee. Showed that in the second half and

26
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 2>specifically in the fourth quarters, they would pour it on.

27
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.040
<v Speaker 2>A mere coffee was sixteen of his nineteen points in

28
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 2>the fourth Clippers win big, this time over the Portland

29
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.959
<v Speaker 2>trail Blazers after they got into a game that was

30
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.840
<v Speaker 2>a little bit dicey where I felt like they let

31
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:39.079
<v Speaker 2>go and missed an opportunity to really put Portland away early.

32
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Not easy in today's league, even when you're up by

33
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>twelve at twenty four to twelve in the first quarter

34
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:46.359
<v Speaker 2>to end a game that early because of the three

35
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 2>point shooting. But the Clippers defense was phenomenal to start

36
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>off the ballgame. They were so connected. Five guys on

37
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:00.280
<v Speaker 2>a string, Chris Dunn, guys that steal and turn over

38
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 2>he got on Anthony Simons, one of the better young

39
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.400
<v Speaker 2>players in this league in the second half, where he

40
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 2>got it in the back court, just picking him up

41
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:14.319
<v Speaker 2>ninety four feet and causing a turnover on the near sideline.

42
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.919
<v Speaker 2>That's freaky stuff. You don't see that very often at

43
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.039
<v Speaker 2>this high of a level in the National Basketball Association.

44
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 2>From a guy like Anthony Simons. Dunn was just wrecking them.

45
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:31.520
<v Speaker 2>I cannot believe some of the defense he was able

46
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:36.199
<v Speaker 2>to play. There was defense on Kamara at the three

47
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.039
<v Speaker 2>minute mark of the second quarter that caused a turnover,

48
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 2>and then a dun steal to Norman Powell in the

49
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.520
<v Speaker 2>second quarter for a dunk. But what he did to

50
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Simons was nasty. That was early in the third quarter,

51
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.919
<v Speaker 2>picking him up full court, setting the tone as the

52
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 2>Clippers did to start off first and third quarters. To

53
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.639
<v Speaker 2>start off halves, we've seen they've been better in that area.

54
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.599
<v Speaker 2>Their best two quarters are the first and third quarters.

55
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Net rating wise, they've been top five in first quarters,

56
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 2>which I know is kind of a paradigm shift for

57
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:17.879
<v Speaker 2>Clipper Nation to expect them to start fast. Now they are.

58
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.039
<v Speaker 2>They're playing great to start ball games, and then they

59
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 2>start fast and third quarters where they have a net

60
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:28.280
<v Speaker 2>rating this top ten. But the Clippers had to put

61
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 2>together a run near the end of that third quarter

62
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:37.039
<v Speaker 2>to really gain some separation against this Portland trail Blazers team.

63
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:41.240
<v Speaker 2>It was highlighted by the James Harden three to end

64
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 2>the third quarter. Of course, spectacular play. I think it

65
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>was against a double team to make it ninety one

66
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:52.199
<v Speaker 2>to seventy eight heading into the fourth. But I felt

67
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 2>like when it was seventy five seventy and midway through

68
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.479
<v Speaker 2>the third, Mobama comes in. He gets here's a block

69
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.919
<v Speaker 2>on Camara. James Harden's getting to the line. Bomba hits

70
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.759
<v Speaker 2>a three to put the Clippers up by ten. After

71
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:12.439
<v Speaker 2>Portland had another turnover. Then Bomba had a steal on Denny.

72
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.879
<v Speaker 2>Bomba had a steal on Jeremy Grant. James Harden hits

73
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 2>a three. Now they go up ten to up thirteen.

74
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.240
<v Speaker 2>At eighty three seventy, Kamara matches it with a three,

75
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.319
<v Speaker 2>and that's when Grant had the strip steel on Terrence Man,

76
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.199
<v Speaker 2>who was down for some time. We knew something was wrong.

77
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.759
<v Speaker 2>He was looking at his left hand. I was hoping

78
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.920
<v Speaker 2>it was just a dislocation. They could pop it back

79
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:39.120
<v Speaker 2>in like Gary Vedy did Kobe Bryant back in the

80
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:44.079
<v Speaker 2>day in La. It wasn't fractured left middle finger. For

81
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Terrence Man. We're guessing is going to be out for

82
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:49.839
<v Speaker 2>some time. He left to go to the locker room,

83
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:56.360
<v Speaker 2>was clenching that left hand. Amrr comes in. Then I

84
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 2>keep saying DeAndre because dj Derek Jones, not DeAndre Jordan,

85
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:07.720
<v Speaker 2>but he's got crazy hops. He almost had I don't know,

86
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Speaker 2>the dunk of the year on Denny got to the

87
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:18.319
<v Speaker 2>line instead, but then Mobamba had another block. Amir hits

88
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>a three, and then James Harden hits that three and

89
00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 2>they're up ninety one to seventy eight heading into the

90
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 2>fourth quarter. But Harden stayed out there. We thought, is

91
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 2>he really gonna play the entire second half again? Well

92
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:38.759
<v Speaker 2>he didn't have to. They showed some killer instinct early

93
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.439
<v Speaker 2>in that fourth quarter. That's what I'm gonna take away

94
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.519
<v Speaker 2>from this Clippers game. They really execute when they had

95
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:48.079
<v Speaker 2>to to get James Harden rest on the front end

96
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.439
<v Speaker 2>of a back to back because the Clippers were shot

97
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:58.639
<v Speaker 2>out of a cannon to start the fourth quarter. Harden, Emir,

98
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 2>Jordan Miller, Obamba and Niko Batoum, the same guys who

99
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.199
<v Speaker 2>ended the third quarter, came back out there. Jordan Miller

100
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:08.079
<v Speaker 2>goes baseline for a reverse layup to start it. Then

101
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.399
<v Speaker 2>Batoom has this crazy low trajectory passed to a mere

102
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:15.279
<v Speaker 2>coffee for a three pointer. More to come. It's ninety

103
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.240
<v Speaker 2>six seventy eight. Then James to Batoomb who goes behind

104
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:22.000
<v Speaker 2>his back to Jordan Miller for three and the Clippers

105
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.959
<v Speaker 2>are up twenty one. Time out get James Harden now

106
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:31.079
<v Speaker 2>the game just like that awesome execution. Oh and guess

107
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:39.399
<v Speaker 2>who comes in Norman Powell floater three layup. He gets

108
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.759
<v Speaker 2>to thirty in I don't know a minute and a half.

109
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.720
<v Speaker 2>He ended up leading the Clippers with thirty points. Norman

110
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Powell on just fifteen shots in twenty five minutes. He

111
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 2>outdid his performance Sunday night against Denver efficiency wise, or

112
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.519
<v Speaker 2>he had twenty eight points in twenty five minutes Tonight

113
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.319
<v Speaker 2>thirty in twenty five. It was like he he was

114
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna be on the minutes restriction, was like, I gotta

115
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:05.079
<v Speaker 2>get get it in now because they're gonna pull me

116
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:06.600
<v Speaker 2>when I get to twenty five minutes. I don't know

117
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.000
<v Speaker 2>what the minutes restriction is. Maybe it's twenty eight thirty,

118
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:15.240
<v Speaker 2>but I guess we'll never know, as Kanye once said,

119
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.160
<v Speaker 2>because he went eleven of fifteen, five of seven from three,

120
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>and had thirty points in twenty five minutes. Norman Powell,

121
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.079
<v Speaker 2>this was his seventeenth game of the season, and the

122
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:30.560
<v Speaker 2>efficiency it's not stopping guys, you can't slow him down.

123
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:38.040
<v Speaker 2>You can't. He's coming to his right and when he

124
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.800
<v Speaker 2>gets that little hopstep dribble skip, you know he's pulling

125
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:46.079
<v Speaker 2>up and it is cash. I think it was five

126
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>for eight from three Sunday night. He's five for seven tonight.

127
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm guessing he's gonna be over fifty percent now from

128
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.160
<v Speaker 2>three on the season. After this game, a mere Coffee

129
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.519
<v Speaker 2>was shooting forty two percent from three coming into this one.

130
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:01.439
<v Speaker 2>He goes five to seven from three, but after the

131
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:04.439
<v Speaker 2>Clippers shot only thirty three percent from three in the

132
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.800
<v Speaker 2>six games without Norman Pale, Well, you can see the

133
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:10.279
<v Speaker 2>impact the last two games. Now back with him, it

134
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:14.879
<v Speaker 2>just makes life and spacing so much easier for the

135
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:20.279
<v Speaker 2>Clippers because against Denver they ended up with what eighteen threes,

136
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:23.399
<v Speaker 2>eighteen of thirty nine, that's forty six percent from three,

137
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>and then tonight they end up going nineteen of thirty seven.

138
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:31.279
<v Speaker 2>That's fifty one percent from three. That is the Norman

139
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:35.080
<v Speaker 2>pal effect. When teams have to account for a guy

140
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.279
<v Speaker 2>like that, it gets other guys good looks. And really,

141
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:42.399
<v Speaker 2>anytime Norman pal is pulling up from beyond the arc,

142
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:45.799
<v Speaker 2>it's a very good look right now. X Mango Project

143
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:50.279
<v Speaker 2>said Norm gotta be an All Star this season. Timothy

144
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:53.080
<v Speaker 2>says batoom extra passes are so nice. I missed them

145
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:57.600
<v Speaker 2>last year. Yeah. From the hardened pass to batomb after

146
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.919
<v Speaker 2>Harden was triple teamed to batomb five Jordan Miller for

147
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:05.519
<v Speaker 2>that three in the fourth right before the time out

148
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:07.200
<v Speaker 2>to get James Harden out of the game. That was

149
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:10.159
<v Speaker 2>the sequence right there put the Clippers up twenty one.

150
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:16.639
<v Speaker 2>The ball movement was just beautiful. It was hopping. Al said,

151
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.559
<v Speaker 2>Norm's getting like three assisted game. Now. Got a lot

152
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.159
<v Speaker 2>of great layups this game. Yes, he did, and got

153
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker 2>some good boards too. Norm plays some low man defense

154
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.919
<v Speaker 2>early on after the Clippers started off by doubling and

155
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:33.039
<v Speaker 2>trapping the ball handler for the Portland Trail Blazers, which

156
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:37.519
<v Speaker 2>completely threw them off. And Norm actually played really good

157
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.919
<v Speaker 2>defense on DeAndre Aiden who caught the ball in the

158
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:42.799
<v Speaker 2>short roll and Norm was waiting for him. Played good

159
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:48.879
<v Speaker 2>defense and got the rebound. Norm Powell is playing like

160
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:53.360
<v Speaker 2>an All Star. He had the first bucket off a

161
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:56.519
<v Speaker 2>hardened feed to start the game, made it to nothing.

162
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.519
<v Speaker 2>The Clippers then got a shot clock violation. That is

163
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.480
<v Speaker 2>a Norm three. It's five to Ozho. Then that low

164
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.840
<v Speaker 2>man defense by Powell. Then he gets another three wins,

165
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.320
<v Speaker 2>twelve to five. He's already eight points, another three. He's

166
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:12.399
<v Speaker 2>got eleven points in the first quarter. Second quarter, lay

167
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:14.480
<v Speaker 2>up as soon as he came in. Then I lay

168
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:16.879
<v Speaker 2>up going to his left. Midway through the second quarter,

169
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:22.000
<v Speaker 2>just bleue past Denny. I made forty six to forty four.

170
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:26.919
<v Speaker 2>He had what was it was it eighteen points in

171
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:30.399
<v Speaker 2>the first half of Norm Powell. He just got back

172
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:35.159
<v Speaker 2>twenty points. Sorry Norm, shortage of two. He was seven

173
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.240
<v Speaker 2>of eight from the field and three of four from

174
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:43.879
<v Speaker 2>distance in the first half. But Denny Abadi, he's still

175
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:48.759
<v Speaker 2>he had fifteen points himself. They obvious excuse excuse me

176
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:51.440
<v Speaker 2>they Abdia had fifteen points in the first half and

177
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.559
<v Speaker 2>really kept Portland afloat. He was six of eight and

178
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:58.120
<v Speaker 2>three of three from three. DeAndre eight and also was

179
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:00.480
<v Speaker 2>eating against a viatz Zubas. Again, I didn't have a

180
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.960
<v Speaker 2>great game. I don't know what it is against DeAndre eight,

181
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.519
<v Speaker 2>and he seems to be struggling against him certainly as

182
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:08.840
<v Speaker 2>of late. But even when he was in Phoenix at times,

183
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:15.039
<v Speaker 2>Zoo ended up twenty eight minutes four of eight eight

184
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:17.320
<v Speaker 2>points ten boards. He kind of rided the ship a

185
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:18.799
<v Speaker 2>little bit in the second half, and he had two

186
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.200
<v Speaker 2>blocks near the end of the second quarter beat to

187
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Zoobots that were impressive, two great possessions defending the rim

188
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.720
<v Speaker 2>for Big Zoo. I did like seeing that as I'm

189
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.639
<v Speaker 2>watching DeAndre Aid and I'm walking on the court now postgame.

190
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:36.759
<v Speaker 2>Hear it into a dome after the Clippers make it

191
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.039
<v Speaker 2>nine straight eight sixty six ninety seven two five seventy,

192
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:43.399
<v Speaker 2>eight sixty six ninety seven two five seventy Kyle from Brooklyn,

193
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:45.919
<v Speaker 2>You're first up here on Clippers Talk after they win

194
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.919
<v Speaker 2>big over the Portland Trailblazers here at the dome. What's up, Kyle?

195
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:50.840
<v Speaker 4>How's it going?

196
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:51.159
<v Speaker 2>Man?

197
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:53.279
<v Speaker 4>Long term listener, I'm here.

198
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:55.639
<v Speaker 5>I moved to Brooklyn from Los Angeles.

199
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:56.159
<v Speaker 4>Recently.

200
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Were Brooklyn. We're Brooklyn At, We're Kyle at. He's in Brookly.

201
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:02.879
<v Speaker 5>All right, Sorry, it's cold, it's cold.

202
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:04.240
<v Speaker 6>I'll tell you that it's cold.

203
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:11.480
<v Speaker 7>But man, I love this team, and I love this

204
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.240
<v Speaker 7>team so much. And like I've been hearing and listening

205
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:20.559
<v Speaker 7>to the let Lawrence Frank Cook thing, and so here's

206
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:22.639
<v Speaker 7>the thing, here's the thing. I'm with you on that.

207
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.320
<v Speaker 4>To a certain degree. But at the same time, if

208
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.320
<v Speaker 4>we're gonna say that, then do we have to look

209
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:32.320
<v Speaker 4>at that as an indictment on my favorite player personally,

210
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:36.440
<v Speaker 4>Kawhi Leonard, because some of the decisions that have been

211
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:42.559
<v Speaker 4>made over this time have seemed to have been dictated

212
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:46.200
<v Speaker 4>by Kawhi Leonard. I was happy Paul George left. I'm

213
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:49.519
<v Speaker 4>with the addition by subtraction, I'm with that. I am

214
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.120
<v Speaker 4>he's here because of him. He told him flat out

215
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:57.399
<v Speaker 4>that Shay was going to be fantastic. He told him

216
00:12:57.480 --> 00:12:59.879
<v Speaker 4>He's gonna be fantastic. A shot, it was gonna be fantastic.

217
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.919
<v Speaker 2>It's reported that that happened, whether it was him or

218
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:05.919
<v Speaker 2>Doc Rivers said it, but nobody knew how long it

219
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.919
<v Speaker 2>would take. And to be honest, if Shay didn't go

220
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.080
<v Speaker 2>to OKC, get that year with CP three, get on

221
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:14.679
<v Speaker 2>a team where he could play all the minutes he

222
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:16.840
<v Speaker 2>wanted to, I don't think he'd be at this point

223
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:17.440
<v Speaker 2>right now.

224
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:19.799
<v Speaker 6>Okay.

225
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:21.960
<v Speaker 5>So then the other thing that really killed me over

226
00:13:21.960 --> 00:13:26.080
<v Speaker 5>the last couple of years was Hardenstein did not want

227
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:29.559
<v Speaker 5>to lose him. We needed a backup, quality, backup for

228
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:33.080
<v Speaker 5>a long time. I've always loved Zoo. I do, however,

229
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.960
<v Speaker 5>say and you bring this up. The first year, the

230
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.360
<v Speaker 5>hands were like bricks. Now if he was injured, he

231
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:42.360
<v Speaker 5>was injured. But it was tough. But I was glad

232
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:44.480
<v Speaker 5>we stuck with him. I'm glad we stuck with him.

233
00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:49.360
<v Speaker 4>He's fantastic. I love him, But we lost a fantastic

234
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:52.840
<v Speaker 4>backup who wanted to stay with this team. And the

235
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:55.000
<v Speaker 4>reason we lost him is because we had to go

236
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:59.039
<v Speaker 4>after a point guard. And that's just that came from

237
00:13:59.080 --> 00:13:59.600
<v Speaker 4>those two.

238
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:01.919
<v Speaker 2>Let me say this, Kyle, let me say this. It

239
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.159
<v Speaker 2>wasn't just those two. It was coach Lou Won, a

240
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:10.080
<v Speaker 2>point guard and your two superstars. So what exactly is

241
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:13.679
<v Speaker 2>Lawrence Frank gonna do? At every front office in this

242
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.559
<v Speaker 2>league at some point has to help out their superstars

243
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:21.919
<v Speaker 2>and have that partnership where they bring in guys that

244
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:26.399
<v Speaker 2>they want and look at it this way, if Kawhi

245
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:28.559
<v Speaker 2>doesn't do his acl in twenty twenty one, who wins

246
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:29.320
<v Speaker 2>the championship?

247
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:32.279
<v Speaker 5>Kyle, Yeah, we won the championship.

248
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:35.200
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly what Lawrence Frank put that team together and

249
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:38.879
<v Speaker 2>those guys helped with that. They wanted Reggie Jackson Paul

250
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:41.600
<v Speaker 2>George won, Reggie Jackson, and he was huge in those playoffs.

251
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:45.200
<v Speaker 2>So at that time, some of those guys that they

252
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:49.200
<v Speaker 2>brought in to appease superstars, it was all working. But

253
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:52.200
<v Speaker 2>you can't account for an injury. You can't predict that.

254
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:55.759
<v Speaker 2>That's what's unfortunate. So I still feel like overall, Lawrence

255
00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:58.879
<v Speaker 2>Frank has been cooking in his tenure as the president

256
00:14:58.919 --> 00:14:59.960
<v Speaker 2>of Basketball Operations.

257
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.480
<v Speaker 5>But what I'm what I'm getting at is, does it

258
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.320
<v Speaker 5>and this is what pains me to think about, Okay,

259
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.559
<v Speaker 5>because I'm a huge Kawhi fan, does it worry you

260
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:11.600
<v Speaker 5>about Kawai? About what?

261
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.720
<v Speaker 4>Like what's going on right now? The fact that Tyleru

262
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:18.159
<v Speaker 4>came out and said, yeah, I'm not I didn't expect

263
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:19.840
<v Speaker 4>it to take this long. The fact that he was

264
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:22.960
<v Speaker 4>going to play in the Olympics and all of a

265
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:24.960
<v Speaker 4>sudden was taking so long, you.

266
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Know, doesn't worry me. I've been concerned since April. I've

267
00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:31.759
<v Speaker 2>been talking about this Kawhi injury and.

268
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:34.919
<v Speaker 4>Hell, I mean about the mind state, about the mind

269
00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.039
<v Speaker 4>state of what Because I always thought of Kauai as

270
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.000
<v Speaker 4>just a champion, a terminator. That's how I looked at him,

271
00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:42.320
<v Speaker 4>And like I'm not sure what's going on here. It

272
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:44.960
<v Speaker 4>feels to me a little bit like he's holding out

273
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:49.960
<v Speaker 4>so he doesn't show his power before the trade deadline,

274
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:53.519
<v Speaker 4>as if there's something going on here that's pushing us now.

275
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Kyle, Kyle, it's as simple as it's a guy who's

276
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:02.120
<v Speaker 2>had al before that the quadriceps injury in that leg,

277
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:05.639
<v Speaker 2>then the meniscus, then the swelling last season, and they

278
00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:08.519
<v Speaker 2>want to make sure he is for sure one hundred

279
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.320
<v Speaker 2>percent before they bring him back. All the reports are

280
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:14.639
<v Speaker 2>And when I heard coach Louse say this in a

281
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:18.360
<v Speaker 2>preseason game pregame, that we have to save Kawai from

282
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.080
<v Speaker 2>himself basically even if it upsets him, that to me

283
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:25.159
<v Speaker 2>says this is not about Kawhi. This is about the

284
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:28.799
<v Speaker 2>organization and making sure that you protect a player from

285
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:32.679
<v Speaker 2>himself and you wait to bring him back until he's

286
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:36.840
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent ready to go. I'm not worried about

287
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:40.399
<v Speaker 2>Kauwhi's mindset or does Kawhi want to play right now. No,

288
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:45.120
<v Speaker 2>like this is being overly cautious, understandably with a player

289
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.279
<v Speaker 2>that is this injury prone and this importance to this team.

290
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:51.759
<v Speaker 2>They're fourteen to nine without their best player. But we

291
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.120
<v Speaker 2>know what could happen in a playoff series if you

292
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:57.000
<v Speaker 2>get a healthy Kawhi. This Clippers team, uh, they could

293
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:57.519
<v Speaker 2>beat ay one.

294
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:01.679
<v Speaker 5>I so I hope, I hope the Uh. Look, he's

295
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:04.599
<v Speaker 5>like I said, I'm not even playing. He's my favorite player.

296
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:06.400
<v Speaker 5>I love him. I'm so happy he's here.

297
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:10.799
<v Speaker 4>I just want him back on the court.

298
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:13.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, that's it, Kyle. I appreciate your phone call.

299

322
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:26.839
<v Speaker 2>they lost their first four games, and now they have

323

<v Speaker 2>won nine straight. I'm Adam Oslin. Welcome back in the

324
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.599
<v Speaker 2>dome is home. This is Clippers Talk here on five

325
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.440
<v Speaker 2>seventy l A Sports looking for postgame audio or some

326
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.559
<v Speaker 2>quotes coming out from coach Lou but got some good

327
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:48.160
<v Speaker 2>notes here from Chris Taylor. Our leads statistician James Harden's

328
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:52.680
<v Speaker 2>scoring by quarter seven in the first, four in the second,

329
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:55.920
<v Speaker 2>twelve in the third, including that big three pointer at

330
00:18:55.920 --> 00:19:00.160
<v Speaker 2>the buzzer over a double team top side edit up

331
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.519
<v Speaker 2>with twenty three in the ball game, six of fifteen,

332
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.079
<v Speaker 2>three of ten from distance. Not his most efficient night,

333
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:07.680
<v Speaker 2>but he led them in the plus minus. He was

334
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.759
<v Speaker 2>a plus twenty seven, seven assists, four turnovers, again twenty

335
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:13.799
<v Speaker 2>three points and thirty one minutes for James Harden, so

336
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:16.480
<v Speaker 2>didn't have to play thirty five, but did have to

337
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:19.480
<v Speaker 2>go above thirty tonight against Portland. I really love the

338
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:22.319
<v Speaker 2>decision that Coach lou made though, to keep the momentum

339
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:25.559
<v Speaker 2>going into the fourth quarter with that group that got

340
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:29.359
<v Speaker 2>up by thirteen at the end of the third, and

341
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:32.359
<v Speaker 2>to run them out there for what two minutes to

342
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:34.839
<v Speaker 2>start the fourth before pulling James Harden because they got

343
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:41.279
<v Speaker 2>up by twenty one. Just great focus and execution by

344
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.279
<v Speaker 2>the Clippers to begin that fourth quarter. The Jordan Miller reverse,

345
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:49.279
<v Speaker 2>a mere Coffee three, Jordan Miller three, time out, just

346
00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:54.240
<v Speaker 2>a quick Edo run in less than two minutes, in

347
00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:58.839
<v Speaker 2>a minute fifty seven, Clippers up ninety nine to seventy eight.

348
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:02.160
<v Speaker 2>That was it. That was game. They still brought in

349
00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Norman bow though, who then scored what a quick seven points.

350
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.039
<v Speaker 2>Norm got a couple of layups, a three pointer, Big

351
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Zoo did have a putback after he missed an easy

352
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:20.799
<v Speaker 2>one after Jeremy Grant blocked him in the fourth quarter,

353
00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:23.960
<v Speaker 2>and then a mere Coffee just went radioactive. As Brian

354
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Seman would say, sixteen points in the fourth quarter, sixteen

355
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:33.359
<v Speaker 2>of his nineteen insane, as good as norm was. He

356
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:36.480
<v Speaker 2>started five to five from the field. Do you guys

357
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:38.799
<v Speaker 2>know what a mere Coffee started from the floor?

358
00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:43.000
<v Speaker 7>I know.

359
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I want to say at one point he was like

360
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:51.160
<v Speaker 2>six of seven, Is that right? A mirror was awesome.

361
00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Nineteen points in twenty two minutes. And as Carlo Jimenez

362
00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:01.680
<v Speaker 2>wisely pointed out last game, a mere Coffee goes out

363
00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:06.039
<v Speaker 2>in the second half, bang's knees. Terrence Man comes in,

364
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:09.440
<v Speaker 2>picks him up. Tonight, Terrence Man goes out in the

365
00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:12.519
<v Speaker 2>second half, A mere Coffee comes in, picks him up,

366
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:20.200
<v Speaker 2>just picking up the slack, next man up, staying ready.

367
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:26.359
<v Speaker 2>It is remarkable the way this Clippers team just comes

368
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:29.599
<v Speaker 2>at you in waves. They got so many guys that

369
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:34.200
<v Speaker 2>are solid two way players that do it on both ends.

370
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Like a Mere Coffee, who is having his best season

371
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:43.079
<v Speaker 2>as a Clipper so far. He is the start he

372
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:45.720
<v Speaker 2>has had going back to preseason. I remember the first

373
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:47.839
<v Speaker 2>game in Hawaii. I want to say he had nine

374
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:50.000
<v Speaker 2>points at the very end of that game in like

375
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:51.960
<v Speaker 2>three minutes and just like it looked like a man

376
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:57.400
<v Speaker 2>amongst boys against Golden State's backups. And he played well

377
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:01.240
<v Speaker 2>throughout the entire preseason and all of it carried over

378
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:05.680
<v Speaker 2>into the regular season. I'm guessing he's shooting around forty

379
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:12.119
<v Speaker 2>three from three now so far after tonight's game. Yeah,

380
00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:13.920
<v Speaker 2>he went five to seven from three. But what did

381
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:19.279
<v Speaker 2>he start shooting? Wise? Nor made his first five shots?

382
00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:22.240
<v Speaker 2>How many in a row did a mere coffee make?

383
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:28.319
<v Speaker 2>As people are talking about eighton versus beats the Zoo Boss,

384
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I think it just throws Big Zoo off because eighten,

385
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:33.960
<v Speaker 2>he didn't make a three tonight. I don't believe he

386
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.680
<v Speaker 2>took one in the far side corner, which was reminiscent

387
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:38.960
<v Speaker 2>of the one he made. He only took one and

388
00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:40.920
<v Speaker 2>he missed it, but was reminiscent of the one he

389
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:43.200
<v Speaker 2>made at Into It Dome. That was a big shot.

390
00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:46.200
<v Speaker 2>And they're one six, one oh five victory here just

391
00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:50.000
<v Speaker 2>a month ago. But I think it's the fact that

392
00:22:50.039 --> 00:22:53.519
<v Speaker 2>DeAndre Ayton has that mid range and Zoo's in drop

393
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:56.400
<v Speaker 2>and he's given him that shot, but then when he

394
00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:59.000
<v Speaker 2>comes up on him, DeAndre Aiden's able to get around him.

395
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:01.759
<v Speaker 2>He's just a tough cover and he probably has some

396
00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:03.640
<v Speaker 2>confidence against Big Zoo. It's not like he had a

397
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:07.559
<v Speaker 2>crazy game. DeAndre Aiden only had three boards, probably because

398
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:10.720
<v Speaker 2>he was playing away from the basket some but sixteen points.

399
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:12.519
<v Speaker 2>He knocked down a couple in the mid range. One

400
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:15.480
<v Speaker 2>was over James Harden, one was Zoo was just daring him.

401
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Fifteen footer made it. I don't know where it is.

402
00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:24.400
<v Speaker 2>And the numbers they're not so lopsided that I joke

403
00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:27.200
<v Speaker 2>that it's like how some bonus is to Anthony Davis,

404
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:29.279
<v Speaker 2>where he just destroys him every time. It's not like

405
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:32.079
<v Speaker 2>that with DeAndre Aiden and a Vitza Zubas. It's not

406
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:35.240
<v Speaker 2>look at the overall numbers of the matchup data. Some

407
00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:37.359
<v Speaker 2>of it is just because DeAndre eight and his average

408
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:40.119
<v Speaker 2>four more minutes head to head against Viza Zubats, so

409
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:44.519
<v Speaker 2>he's had more time to accumulate numbers. But tonight Big Zoo,

410
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.599
<v Speaker 2>like Sunday, just didn't have his best offensive game, didn't

411
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:53.400
<v Speaker 2>have his best touch around the basket. Still, I don't

412
00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:56.200
<v Speaker 2>think he was terrible, but I'm very happy the Clippers

413
00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:01.400
<v Speaker 2>have Mobamba guys. Because third quarter Mobamba cooked the three pointer,

414
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:07.839
<v Speaker 2>the blocks, the steals. Mobama came in and was a presence,

415
00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:14.960
<v Speaker 2>played really hard. I like the upgrade at backup center.

416
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:19.160
<v Speaker 2>I like Mobamba. I think he is an obvious upgrade

417
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:23.119
<v Speaker 2>and I thought so this offseason that he'd be better

418
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:29.720
<v Speaker 2>than Mason Plumbley. That's all I wanted. And I think

419
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:33.000
<v Speaker 2>it's been well, it's only been a few games. What

420
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:35.720
<v Speaker 2>are they eight and one now with mo Obama since

421
00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:40.200
<v Speaker 2>he came back from injury, but I've been impressed and

422
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:42.400
<v Speaker 2>three point shooting can come around because he started a

423
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:45.759
<v Speaker 2>little bit cold from the outside. I know Dime has

424
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:49.799
<v Speaker 2>called him like a fake stretch big or something, Dime dropper.

425
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:56.480
<v Speaker 2>I just really really like the way this team is playing,

426
00:24:56.519 --> 00:24:59.720
<v Speaker 2>how they're playing together, the way they're starting halves, the

427
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:05.640
<v Speaker 2>way they have you know, battled through some adversity when

428
00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:08.640
<v Speaker 2>it got closed in this game, when they knew they

429
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:11.640
<v Speaker 2>had to give starters rest okay, come out and put

430
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:13.680
<v Speaker 2>them away early in the fourth quarter. They did it

431
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:21.359
<v Speaker 2>right away. And Jordan Miller, Jordan Miller, you know, I

432
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:23.720
<v Speaker 2>wanted to see him from game one. He started this

433
00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:29.599
<v Speaker 2>game with a fallaway floater. The second quarter, he misses

434
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:32.640
<v Speaker 2>a floater but then got the put back He's quick

435
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:35.960
<v Speaker 2>to boards. That's something I noticed in summer league. He's

436
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:38.319
<v Speaker 2>so athletic and just has a nose for the basketball

437
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:40.640
<v Speaker 2>when it's coming off the ram. He knows when he misses,

438
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:44.039
<v Speaker 2>and it's not often on the floater. He started I

439
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:46.599
<v Speaker 2>think six of seven, then he had a layup in

440
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:49.119
<v Speaker 2>transition that made it forty two all in the second quarter.

441
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:53.920
<v Speaker 2>He did have some defensive lapses where Banton blew by him,

442
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:57.319
<v Speaker 2>where anthrety Simon's got the step on him, but he

443
00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:00.000
<v Speaker 2>had that no look to Terrence Mann in the second

444
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.759
<v Speaker 2>quarter for reverse and up. Note, guys, Jordan Miller was

445
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:05.880
<v Speaker 2>the first guy off the bench tonight. He came in

446
00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:09.160
<v Speaker 2>for Chris Nunn. How about that? Coach lu said, he's

447
00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:13.759
<v Speaker 2>earned distrust. Sure looks like it right. It's one thing

448
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:16.680
<v Speaker 2>to say that, it's another to give him even more minutes,

449
00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:20.119
<v Speaker 2>a longer leash. He was playing a lot with the starters,

450
00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:24.279
<v Speaker 2>certainly with James Harden out there. This comes from Joey

451
00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Lynn on X at Joey Lynn two ends with an

452
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:31.599
<v Speaker 2>underscore at the end. Jordan Miller said he's constantly asking

453
00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:35.039
<v Speaker 2>his veteran teammates questions. Quote. I even asked Kawhi questions

454
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:39.279
<v Speaker 2>tonight and he helped me out awesome. Jordan Miller said,

455
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:41.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to make it hard when everybody is healthy

456
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:44.519
<v Speaker 2>to keep me off the floor. Ooh, I like it.

457
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:49.680
<v Speaker 2>I like it. Norton Powell postgame was praising James Harden's

458
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:52.160
<v Speaker 2>leadership dating back to the summer when he was organizing

459
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:55.079
<v Speaker 2>those team workouts. He said, it's carried over into the season.

460
00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:58.759
<v Speaker 2>This team is close guys. Pale said, quote A lot

461
00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:01.039
<v Speaker 2>of Vets don't do that in the they do their

462
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:05.039
<v Speaker 2>own thing. I don't think James Harden can help himself.

463
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:07.720
<v Speaker 2>He's just a hooper, like he wants the ball. He

464
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:10.079
<v Speaker 2>doesn't miss games, so you might as well get the

465
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:12.680
<v Speaker 2>guys together, right. But the leadership has been outstanding as

466
00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:15.359
<v Speaker 2>a Clipper for the knock on him being that, like

467
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:18.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's some selfish player or doesn't care as

468
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:24.799
<v Speaker 2>a partier. Has that been the case at all? So?

469
00:27:24.880 --> 00:27:27.359
<v Speaker 2>Coach lou said, there's been times when the Clippers wanted

470
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:30.319
<v Speaker 2>to rest James Harden, but he won't sit out. He

471
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:37.079
<v Speaker 2>called off Chris Dunn when was it late second quarter?

472
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:41.400
<v Speaker 2>He had just hit a couple of shots and he

473
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:43.519
<v Speaker 2>called off Chris Dunn, who was trying to come into

474
00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:48.599
<v Speaker 2>the ball game. Because the first make by James Harden

475
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:51.759
<v Speaker 2>I want to say it was at the one forty

476
00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:55.480
<v Speaker 2>two mark of the first quarter. Yeah, he hit a three.

477
00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:00.839
<v Speaker 2>Then he had a layup to make it fifty fifty

478
00:28:01.039 --> 00:28:03.119
<v Speaker 2>at the three thirty seven mark in the second quarter,

479
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:06.160
<v Speaker 2>and at one point he waved off Chris is done

480
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:10.920
<v Speaker 2>from coming in. And you guys notice that too. So

481
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:13.920
<v Speaker 2>this is fact from Coach Lou. He won't sit out.

482
00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Coach Lou said, quote even when we want to sit

483
00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:18.839
<v Speaker 2>him down, when we have four games in five nights,

484
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:26.119
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't want to do it. I love the mentality.

485
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:31.799
<v Speaker 2>And he's looking better. He's looking more spry. It looks

486
00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:39.559
<v Speaker 2>like he has more burst explosiveness. We've noticed that too. Ax.

487
00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:41.480
<v Speaker 2>He said, we were starting to look scary, but we

488
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:47.920
<v Speaker 2>need to eat more. I et plenty today. Check out

489
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:50.160
<v Speaker 2>that picture that Brian Seman took and texted me that

490
00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:52.599
<v Speaker 2>I put on x I follow out of May. He

491
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:56.559
<v Speaker 2>caught me in four k eating some cookies at the

492
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:01.160
<v Speaker 2>cookie bar. Hear it into it Dome pregame wasn't my

493
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:04.440
<v Speaker 2>best moment. He had a good laugh. Everyone had a

494
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:08.839
<v Speaker 2>good laugh. I guess at my expense. The last time

495
00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:11.839
<v Speaker 2>I eat a cookie here, I didn't know I was

496
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:15.039
<v Speaker 2>being watched. The paparazzi, TMS was out there and the bushes.

497
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:20.799
<v Speaker 2>Brian Semon doing me dirty like that basity. Ric seven said,

498
00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:23.640
<v Speaker 2>James is getting his legs. X Mango Projects said, we

499
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:26.759
<v Speaker 2>got the version of Harden that has more wisdom because

500
00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:30.839
<v Speaker 2>he is older. Oh you wouldn't say older. You said

501
00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:33.559
<v Speaker 2>you were starting to because James Harden doesn't like that

502
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:38.759
<v Speaker 2>word that he's an old player or old. He's thirty

503
00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:42.200
<v Speaker 2>five years young. Alfie said, Season two Starting five with

504
00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:46.480
<v Speaker 2>James Harden will be fire. I haven't watched season one.

505
00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:49.599
<v Speaker 2>Ray said, season legs have arrived. Plus, don't forget he's

506
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:51.279
<v Speaker 2>going to be a co star on the next season

507
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:52.039
<v Speaker 2>of Starting five.

508
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:53.039
<v Speaker 6>Wow.

509
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Two guys bring that up at the same time. Kevin

510
00:29:57.039 --> 00:30:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Richards said, Adam, if you're going to hit ten percent,

511
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.000
<v Speaker 2>you need to start stocking your freezer with healthy meals

512
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:07.720
<v Speaker 2>you can microwave while you're streaming. Maybe so I just

513
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:10.640
<v Speaker 2>try to eat less. And I ran seven miles today.

514
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:13.079
<v Speaker 2>I think I earned those cookies. And then Brian Seaman

515
00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:15.880
<v Speaker 2>had the goal and the nerve as we're walking up

516
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:19.119
<v Speaker 2>the stairs after the national anthem. This has happened multiple

517
00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:21.920
<v Speaker 2>times now where he catches me slipping where I'm walking

518
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:24.720
<v Speaker 2>up the stairs over here to our section. Where are

519
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:29.559
<v Speaker 2>we at Big Bro twenty five is live section twenty

520
00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:32.279
<v Speaker 2>five up here, And I'm walking up the stairs in

521
00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:33.960
<v Speaker 2>just a little bit of a ways and I already

522
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:37.039
<v Speaker 2>ran seven miles And he comes running up the stairs

523
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:39.559
<v Speaker 2>and laughs at me and goes ten percent huh as

524
00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:44.799
<v Speaker 2>he passes me by going up the stairs. Friends like these,

525
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, all right, we'll take a quick time out.

526
00:30:47.960 --> 00:30:50.599
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back. We'll get to your phone calls. I

527
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:52.279

539
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:34.160
<v Speaker 2>nine straight from the nine to nine to the two

540
00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:38.279
<v Speaker 2>thousand Clippers. Take it on Minnesota tomorrow night. Right back here.

541
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:40.359
<v Speaker 2>It's the front end of a back to back, and

542
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:44.599
<v Speaker 2>I think the Clippers, for the most part execute exactly

543
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:48.599
<v Speaker 2>what coach Lou wanted to see. The game was over

544
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:51.680
<v Speaker 2>early in the fourth quarter. Can't ask for much more

545
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:57.960
<v Speaker 2>than that, Okay, you can, you can. I thought when

546
00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:00.359
<v Speaker 2>they were up twelve but twenty four to twelve and

547
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:06.960
<v Speaker 2>they were just being absolute dogs defensively against Portland early,

548
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:10.160
<v Speaker 2>that they were gonna put the game away early. Put

549
00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:13.480
<v Speaker 2>it on ice. It was getting late early for Portland

550
00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:20.759
<v Speaker 2>is what I thought not to be unfortunately, but they

551
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:23.559
<v Speaker 2>regrouped and I thought they kind of hit the reset

552
00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:26.400
<v Speaker 2>button with their defense, and they were much better in

553
00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:30.559
<v Speaker 2>the third quarter, specifically when they started to open things up,

554
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:35.359
<v Speaker 2>the effort was much better. They found their defense again

555
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:37.880
<v Speaker 2>after there was some slippage after the first six minutes

556
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:42.000
<v Speaker 2>of the game. I'm fine with that. I like seeing

557
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:44.160
<v Speaker 2>a team that can, you know, flip the switch here

558
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:52.319
<v Speaker 2>and there. Oh, we have an update. So the Clippers

559
00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:56.839
<v Speaker 2>we got their two games. Now that they are not

560
00:32:56.880 --> 00:32:59.400
<v Speaker 2>making it to the knockout rounds. We know the two

561
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:06.559
<v Speaker 2>games that are being scheduled. Friday, December thirteenth, Clippers in

562
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:09.759
<v Speaker 2>Denver taking on the Nuggets. I knew that was gonna happen.

563
00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:13.559
<v Speaker 2>I just knew it. I knws it. I'd be don't

564
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:22.079
<v Speaker 2>i'd be knowing the other game Monday, December sixteenth, Utah

565
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:25.839
<v Speaker 2>here against the Clippers. I'll take that exchange. I'll take that.

566
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:29.079
<v Speaker 2>Those are your two rescheduled games with the Clippers not

567
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:33.880
<v Speaker 2>making the knockout round in the nd season tournament. I'll

568
00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:38.599
<v Speaker 2>sign up for that. The Denver game is gonna be rough,

569
00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:42.119
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna be tough game. But guys, they're only going

570
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:47.359
<v Speaker 2>to have from let's see when we got here. What's

571
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:53.160
<v Speaker 2>today's date? Where am I? From December fifth? So after

572
00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:58.680
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow's game. From December fifth to December eighteenth, the Clippers

573
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:03.799
<v Speaker 2>are only playing three games in thirteen days. From December

574
00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:09.400
<v Speaker 2>fifth to December eighteenth. There is rest for the weary.

575
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Finally it's happening. I can't believe it. It's a scheduling miracle.

576
00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:21.639
<v Speaker 2>It's an early Christmas miracle, a late Thanksgiving miracle, festiveest miracle.

577
00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:28.079
<v Speaker 2>It beautiful. Finally, I'll sign up for that. The three

578
00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:34.760
<v Speaker 2>games are Clippers Houston on Sunday, then Clippers in Denver

579
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:42.559
<v Speaker 2>Friday the thirteenth, and Clippers taking on Utah back here

580
00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:48.320
<v Speaker 2>at into it Dome December sixteenth. I will take it.

581
00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:53.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm good with that. How do you guys feel about

582
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:57.800
<v Speaker 2>the scheduled games? One really tough one one against Utah

583
00:34:57.800 --> 00:35:04.760
<v Speaker 2>that you gotta win? Right? Can the Clippers sign Jordan Miller?

584
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:07.440
<v Speaker 2>They don't have an open roster spot right now, Here's

585
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:10.440
<v Speaker 2>what I think is gonna happen. Guys, They're gonna make

586
00:35:10.440 --> 00:35:12.800
<v Speaker 2>a trade. I'll take a time out and tell you

587
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:15.960
<v Speaker 2>who is going to be involved to get Jordan Miller

588
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:20.199
<v Speaker 2>on that standard contract, to convert the two way to

589
00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:22.559
<v Speaker 2>a standard contract. I will tell you my plan for

590
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:25.199
<v Speaker 2>that coming up next final time out here on Clippers

591
00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:29.840
<v Speaker 2>stock after they win over the Blazers Big one twenty

592
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:33.199
<v Speaker 2>seven to one oh five. Norman pal thirty points in

593
00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:37.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty five minutes. Are you kidding me? He's better than

594
00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:41.639
<v Speaker 2>this current version of Paul George. In fact, early on

595
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:43.800
<v Speaker 2>when he was going on that heater and had fourteen

596
00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:46.880
<v Speaker 2>in the first quarter, I said, it's like Norman Palell

597
00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:50.159
<v Speaker 2>saw that Paul George scored twenty nine tonight and was like, Okay,

598
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:55.679
<v Speaker 2>bet guess what he ended up with thirty on fifteen shots.

599
00:35:56.239 --> 00:35:58.079
<v Speaker 2>I've ad a Moslin and you're listening to a five

600
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:02.719
<v Speaker 2>seventy LA Sports.

601
00:36:04.880 --> 00:36:07.760
<v Speaker 1>This is the LA Clippers Audio Network.

602
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:09.679
<v Speaker 8>Best fans, invest arena in the entire sport.

603
00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:13.079
<v Speaker 3>Take us with you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app.

604
00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Back to Clippers basketball. So something we've talked about recently

605
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:19.840
<v Speaker 2>as you're back on Clippers stock here it into a

606
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:21.800
<v Speaker 2>doom after they won one twenty seven to one oh

607
00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:27.280
<v Speaker 2>five over the Portland trail Blazers, is that on December fifteenth,

608
00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:32.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of guys are available to be traded. I

609
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:34.440
<v Speaker 2>think at that point the Clippers are going to find

610
00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:37.079
<v Speaker 2>a way to make a move, maybe with PJ and

611
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Bones Island, to bring in one guy a two for one.

612
00:36:41.960 --> 00:36:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Therefore there's an open roster spot. Therefore you convert Jordan

613
00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Miller's two way to a standard contract. That's what I'm

614
00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:59.159
<v Speaker 2>talking about. I gotta think that's a plan. I'm not

615
00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:01.880
<v Speaker 2>saying they haven't been trying to find a landing spot

616
00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:05.119
<v Speaker 2>for PJ. Tucker. It's not, is he He hasn't been

617
00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:08.440
<v Speaker 2>productive over the last year, and he hasn't wanted to

618
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:11.519
<v Speaker 2>play for the Clippers because apparently what he wants to

619
00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:13.719
<v Speaker 2>go to a place where he can play, and it's

620
00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:17.280
<v Speaker 2>a contender as well. I don't know. I don't like it.

621
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:23.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad they're classy and being accommodating to him, but

622
00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:28.159
<v Speaker 2>at almost forty, couldn't he just be a good vet

623
00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:29.960
<v Speaker 2>on the bench and help out guys on this team

624
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:35.079
<v Speaker 2>get some minutes here and there. I don't understand that.

625
00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of guys, sometimes I don't understand Sean and Inglewood. Sean,

626
00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:42.199
<v Speaker 2>you're on Clippers stop without a masahe Sean.

627
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:47.440
<v Speaker 6>Nice d before you let me on the phone, Adam.

628
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:48.440
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was all right.

629
00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:52.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I was wondering about you, I said, Is he

630
00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:56.599
<v Speaker 6>just gonna cover every topic before he let anybody get

631
00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:59.440
<v Speaker 6>on the phone and talk. But I'm sorry, Sean, thank

632
00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:03.800
<v Speaker 6>you for thank you for the vine. Okay, anyway, A

633
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:08.599
<v Speaker 6>couple of things. First of all, Norman Powell is outscoring

634
00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:13.639
<v Speaker 6>his averages hired than Paul George's was last year. That's

635
00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:18.880
<v Speaker 6>really night. Another thing on your show two years ago

636
00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:24.119
<v Speaker 6>when we got Mason Plumbley, I said, I wouldn't have Mobama.

637
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:26.400
<v Speaker 6>You said it on you.

638
00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:29.719
<v Speaker 2>You said I did well. How was he available?

639
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:36.400
<v Speaker 6>Yes he was, and he wasn't available. He was available.

640
00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:40.440
<v Speaker 6>I don't know how. I don't go over all the details,

641
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:41.800
<v Speaker 6>but he was available at that.

642
00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:45.039
<v Speaker 2>It sounds a little sketchy. It sounds a little sketchy.

643
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Sean at Inglewood says, Hey, Sean at Inglewood has pulled

644
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:52.199
<v Speaker 2>some receiats tonight chat. He's saying he wanted Mobamba two

645
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:53.800
<v Speaker 2>years ago when they got Mason Plumbley.

646
00:38:54.840 --> 00:38:57.480
<v Speaker 6>All right, yo, you got Mason Plumbley the first time

647
00:38:57.519 --> 00:38:59.320
<v Speaker 6>you got him. You you brought it up to me

648
00:38:59.400 --> 00:39:02.320
<v Speaker 6>when I called, then, how about Mason? I said, he's okay,

649
00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:06.159
<v Speaker 6>but I'd rather we had to get Mobomble. He's more

650
00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:10.840
<v Speaker 6>versatile and better offensively. I did say that, so, yeah,

651
00:39:10.960 --> 00:39:13.559
<v Speaker 6>you played the tape. I said it, but you know,

652
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:16.280
<v Speaker 6>I'm not trying to I just always liked the fact

653
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:20.599
<v Speaker 6>that he had more versatility and Plumbly is more you know,

654
00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:23.920
<v Speaker 6>brick later he hustled. I like him, but he didn't

655
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:25.800
<v Speaker 6>have the offensive Bomba.

656
00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, my problem with Mason Plumbley was more about the

657
00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:34.960
<v Speaker 2>interior defense. Now Bomba isn't significantly better, but I do

658
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:38.480
<v Speaker 2>think he's been better and pretty much everything you need

659
00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Now that Visa Zubas is getting more minutes out there,

660
00:39:41.239 --> 00:39:44.280
<v Speaker 2>you just need ten, twelve, fifteen minutes at most from

661
00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:45.039
<v Speaker 2>your backup center.

662
00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:49.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I agree, But he's also a better block shot

663
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:53.519
<v Speaker 6>threat and then plumbing, Yes too, So I agree.

664
00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:55.760
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm saying. The interior defense, to me, is

665
00:39:55.800 --> 00:40:00.760
<v Speaker 2>the biggest differentiator, not their offense necessarily, but I guess Obamba, yeah,

666
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:02.360
<v Speaker 2>can hit a couple threes here and there.

667
00:40:03.599 --> 00:40:05.719
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but you also want that makes you want to

668
00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:08.360
<v Speaker 6>think twice before you come into the hole, you know,

669
00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:10.880
<v Speaker 6>if you got Obama back there with the very long,

670
00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:15.679
<v Speaker 6>ridiculously long arm, you know, so that that's also it

671
00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:19.000
<v Speaker 6>makes you think, you know and hesitated. Second, that's important.

672
00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:21.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, thirty seconds here, Sean, What else you got

673
00:40:21.519 --> 00:40:22.960
<v Speaker 2>because I gotta get out at the top of the hour.

674
00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:27.960
<v Speaker 6>Hey, I mean we're fourteen and nine. That's good, Okay,

675
00:40:28.199 --> 00:40:30.840
<v Speaker 6>Thank you for your show, Thank you for covering every

676
00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:34.119
<v Speaker 6>topic nobody else has anything to talk about tonight, and

677
00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:35.960
<v Speaker 6>love your show. Have a good night.

678
00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:39.679
<v Speaker 2>I love you, Sean. And it's not opposite day or

679
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:45.639
<v Speaker 2>something appreciation Sean Sean and Inglewood. Sandy loves the show tonight,

680
00:40:48.719 --> 00:40:53.320
<v Speaker 2>it says, or fourteen to nine. That's good. It's Tony

681
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:56.719
<v Speaker 2>the Tiger Great. Let me check the NBA standings here

682
00:40:56.760 --> 00:41:00.760
<v Speaker 2>and see where the Clippers are after another victorim here

683
00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:03.320
<v Speaker 2>at the end to a Dome. Clippers now in the

684
00:41:03.320 --> 00:41:06.280
<v Speaker 2>fifth spot in the Western Conference. Now it's tight, the

685
00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:09.519
<v Speaker 2>three games behind Oka. See they're the top spot, the

686
00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:13.719
<v Speaker 2>number one spot. They're also just two and a half

687
00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:15.800
<v Speaker 2>games above the team that's out of the play in

688
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:20.440
<v Speaker 2>in the Minnesota Timberwolves, who they see tomorrow night. Clippers

689
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:22.239
<v Speaker 2>take it on the Tea Wolves right back here at

690
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:25.199
<v Speaker 2>into It Dome. Tip Off is at seven point thirty.

691
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:28.800
<v Speaker 2>We got pregame at six thirty. As the revenge tour continues.

692
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Not only did Norman Powell get revenge on a former team,

693
00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Nico Batoum as well, it's been a while since he

694
00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:40.360
<v Speaker 2>was in Portland. But the Clippers made up for what

695
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought was the worst loss of the season, losing

696
00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:44.679
<v Speaker 2>one oh six to one oh five about a month

697
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:47.000
<v Speaker 2>ago here at into a dumb against the Portland Trail Lazers.

698
00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:49.239
<v Speaker 2>What a difference a month and a couple of days

699
00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:52.199
<v Speaker 2>make as the Clippers now have one to ninth straight

700
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:55.079
<v Speaker 2>after losing fourth straight. Here at the tongst they are

701
00:41:55.199 --> 00:42:03.559
<v Speaker 2>establishing a fortress. No one can breach the doors, no

702
00:42:03.599 --> 00:42:08.079
<v Speaker 2>one can bring out the battering ram here against this castle,

703
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:12.199
<v Speaker 2>Castle Blackstone Er. I don't know what's one of the

704
00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:14.840
<v Speaker 2>names or the ringers. I can't remember. It's getting late.

705
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm precious, Pore, you get out of here. I do

706
00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:23.039
<v Speaker 2>want to thank the Clippers organization, Ralph Lawler, Brian Seaman,

707
00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Noah Eagle, Carlo Jimenez on the call, Chris Taylor, our

708
00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:33.119
<v Speaker 2>lead statistician. Tonight, Joey helping out to big brother Jake Warner.

709
00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:37.480
<v Speaker 2>There's somebody who I've been thinking about a lot, and

710
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:39.199
<v Speaker 2>I gotta get back to doing this because I think

711
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:41.800
<v Speaker 2>enough time has passed where it's appropriate to start doing it.

712
00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:47.320
<v Speaker 2>But I missed Dennis Agastino, who we lost over last year.

713
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:52.480
<v Speaker 2>He was our statistician. But the Clippers statistician to the

714
00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:55.480
<v Speaker 2>stars is what I always said, because he's been doing

715
00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:58.519
<v Speaker 2>it for a long time, and unfortunately we lost him

716
00:42:58.519 --> 00:43:01.239
<v Speaker 2>over the last year. So we'll bring it back. But

717
00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:06.400
<v Speaker 2>stat of the night, we remember Dennis Agastino. I'm out Amsland.

718
00:43:06.920 --> 00:43:09.599
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk to you tomorrow at six point thirty. That's

719
00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:12.440
<v Speaker 2>our pregame show Clippers Minnesota and Rules right back here

720
00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:14.320
<v Speaker 2>at into a Dome. Can they get to double digit

721
00:43:14.360 --> 00:43:17.119
<v Speaker 2>wins here at the Dome? Tune in to find out,

722
00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Talk to you, then hey them
