Speaker 1: Phone it in.
Speaker 2: We're taking your calls on the LA Clippers right now.
Speaker 3: Peace Peace, Clippers Talk on Aaron on Demand, the Clippers
Speaker 3: Show of Record.
Speaker 1: Your chance to react to everything.
Speaker 2: Clippers Clippers news happens.
Speaker 1: Let me guess it's about Kawhi. Here we are and now.
Speaker 3: Here it is the host of your LA Clippers pre
Speaker 3: and postgame.
Speaker 2: At follow Adam a Adam Ousley, Life finds Away, Raptors
Speaker 2: find a way. They beat the Clippers by seven in Toronto,
Speaker 2: one fifteen to one oh eight. Is they found a
Speaker 2: way to go thirteen of twenty five from the outside.
Speaker 2: That is fifty two percent shooting from three in a
Speaker 2: game where Kawhi was off of Mark six of eighteen
Speaker 2: James Harden seven of twenty and the Clippers take their
Speaker 2: twenty first loss of the season. They're now twenty eight
Speaker 2: and twenty one on the year. Welcome into Clippers Talk.
Speaker 2: I'm Adam Oslin. Whether you're in the chat and panicking
Speaker 2: at Clippers Talk on the YouTube side or listening on
Speaker 2: AM five to seventy LA Sports, we appreciates you, guys.
Speaker 2: No one's saying you can't be critical of the team.
Speaker 2: You can be critical of this performance. I was as
Speaker 2: it was happening in the third quarter. I didn't like
Speaker 2: the process by the Clippers at all. Let me tell
Speaker 2: you the stretch and what happened, and I think this
Speaker 2: is what decided the ballgame. Kawhi Leonard ends up leaving
Speaker 2: the game at the five twenty eight mark, the Clippers
Speaker 2: are down four. At seventy three to sixty nine. You
Speaker 2: get a James Harden step back jumper. Don't hate the shot,
Speaker 2: but now we're going to enter the three point contest
Speaker 2: that the Clippers put on. James Harden three, didn't get it,
Speaker 2: another three didn't get it. Terrence Man tries to go
Speaker 2: to the basket, gets blocked multiple times, went there. One
Speaker 2: of them I felt like was a and over another
Speaker 2: James Harden three. There's three threes in a row, a
Speaker 2: mere coffee three, four threes in a row. Fifth times
Speaker 2: the charm Nko Batoom knocked one down, but the Clippers
Speaker 2: were settling A mere coffee. Another miss three in that
Speaker 2: third quarter, James Harden, another miss three. They went two
Speaker 2: for ten from three when points were at a premium
Speaker 2: in the third. They took ten of their twenty eight
Speaker 2: three pointers in the third quarter, and they only made
Speaker 2: two of them, and the guy who made two was Nico.
Speaker 2: That's it. That was the only guy. Everybody else was over.
Speaker 2: And meanwhile, those misses were turning into long rebounds. And
Speaker 2: while I said it was a three point contest for
Speaker 2: the Clippers in the third, for the Raptors in the third,
Speaker 2: it was a dunk contest. Dunk after dunk after dunk,
Speaker 2: Grady Dick, RJ. Barrett. They were just getting out in transition,
Speaker 2: long runouts, beating the Clippers down the floor. They looked
Speaker 2: like the quicker, faster team. They were getting the rebounds,
Speaker 2: they were making the Clippers pay. That's much of the
Speaker 2: game right there. That's where they got their separation. To
Speaker 2: enter the fourth quarter up ninety two to seventy seven,
Speaker 2: Clippers are down fifteen again. It was a four point
Speaker 2: game with about five and a half minutes left in
Speaker 2: the third quarter when Kawhi went to the bench and
Speaker 2: things just completely unraveled for the Clippers. I'm not saying
Speaker 2: the transition defense was good. I am saying their offense
Speaker 2: wasn't exactly helping their defense in that third quarter. The
Speaker 2: fact they kept settling for threes that they weren't hitting
Speaker 2: outside of Nico. It made life way too easy on Toronto.
Speaker 2: That's where this game was lost. And this Nate g
Speaker 2: just said it in the chat. The sad part is quote,
Speaker 2: I don't think Zoo will ever get the touches he
Speaker 2: needs this season. You don't have a backup big at
Speaker 2: this point. You don't have Norman Powell in this ball game.
Speaker 2: Kawhi's missing, James Harden's missing. I don't know. Maybe go
Speaker 2: to a guy that choos sixty five percent from the field.
Speaker 2: If each a Zubos did play for minutes, they don't
Speaker 2: have Drew Eubanks. Yet he was a plus ten in
Speaker 2: his forty minutes. So wait, in the other eight minutes
Speaker 2: they lost it by what seventeen? They lost the non
Speaker 2: Zoo minutes by what seventeen? He went plus ten and
Speaker 2: played is thirty nine something about forty minutes and they
Speaker 2: lost the game by seven, But he was a plus
Speaker 2: ten out there. How do you not get him in
Speaker 2: the basketball more? How many postgame shows do I have
Speaker 2: to come on and say? Nowadays everybody want to talk,
Speaker 2: they've got something to say. Nothing comes out when they
Speaker 2: move the lips, just a bunch of gibberish. They forgot
Speaker 2: about Zoo. They forgot about Zoo every damn time. He
Speaker 2: had basically smalls on him the entire game. Who's the
Speaker 2: biggest guy? Kelly olennok he only played seventeen minutes. Chris
Speaker 2: bouche is spelt slight of frame. Zoo only takes eleven
Speaker 2: shots in the game without Norman Powell when Kawhi, Leonard
Speaker 2: and James Harden were missing. How does that happen? How
Speaker 2: does it continually happen? I don't think the Clippers got
Speaker 2: a great whistle. I also don't think that's why they
Speaker 2: lost the game. Kawhi was frustrated from the first quarter
Speaker 2: on because the lack of calls, but he was probably
Speaker 2: more frustrated with the missus one of five from the outside.
Speaker 2: Last two games he combined to go six of eleven
Speaker 2: from three and just one of five from three in
Speaker 2: this game, six of eighteen overall, four turnovers. He almost
Speaker 2: had as many turnovers as made shots. It's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Great players have bad games. This is really the only
Speaker 2: game where I'd say Kawhi was bad in eleven so far.
Speaker 2: Somebody helped me. Avitza Zubats was plus ten in his
Speaker 2: forty minutes. So in the eight minutes he was off
Speaker 2: the floor, they lost those minutes by seventeen points or
Speaker 2: by eighteen points. I need to see when he went
Speaker 2: off the court in that third quarter, because it wasn't
Speaker 2: just Kawhi. So he goes off. Kawhi exits at the
Speaker 2: five twenty eight mark, A Vitza Zubas in the third
Speaker 2: quarter exits Ernico. Buttoom at the five zho two mark.
Speaker 2: Now I get it. He played forty minutes, he came
Speaker 2: play all forty eight. But that's when they got killed.
Speaker 2: Zubos off the court, they got destroyed. That's a big
Speaker 2: part of this. I didn't notice that earlier. Let's see,
Speaker 2: YEAHL Murray has the same number. The Raptors outscored the
Speaker 2: Clippers by seventeen points in the seven minutes and fifty
Speaker 2: seven seconds that I Visa Zubas was off the floor.
Speaker 2: Today in Toronto Law and I same page. Two smartest
Speaker 2: guys in the room, crape minds think alike Mio said
Speaker 2: Zoo needs to demand the ball. That's not his job.
Speaker 2: The coaches gotta tell the other guys, Hey, we got
Speaker 2: a mismatch. Let's exploit it. Let's get Zoo going. You
Speaker 2: guys are missing jumpers, you're missing threes, You're taking ten
Speaker 2: of them and only hitting two in the third quarter.
Speaker 2: It's just so apparent how important Zoo is all the time,
Speaker 2: and in a game like this, use him you don't
Speaker 2: have Norm. It is shocking seeing that number. They lost
Speaker 2: the eight minutes without Zoo by seventeen points. Zoo didn't lose,
Speaker 2: y'all lost. I'm kidding, but that was very telling, that
Speaker 2: number right there. And I don't always go off of
Speaker 2: one game sample sizes with the plus minus, but it
Speaker 2: matches the eye test, right sometimes it does. That run happen,
Speaker 2: that eight tozero run with all those dunks and miss
Speaker 2: threes by the Clippers leading to dunks for the Raptors
Speaker 2: happened with Zoo off the floor. Zoo not gaining the
Speaker 2: basketball and not getting up more than eleven shots is
Speaker 2: just criminal. How can that happen? He's been criminally underrated
Speaker 2: forever and overlooked, and he's too important to this team
Speaker 2: not to get him more involved in a game without
Speaker 2: Norm Powell. Someone's saying the Clippers are five hundred when
Speaker 2: Norman is not playing, well, how many games is that four? Five?
Speaker 2: It's not a big enough sample size, but yes, they
Speaker 2: of course need norm he's their leading scorer. It turns
Speaker 2: out he's pretty important while doing it efficiently. I just
Speaker 2: can't get over how any games I have to do
Speaker 2: this where I'm talking about if Eats's zoobots not get
Speaker 2: in the basketball enough post game. Carlo actually brought it
Speaker 2: up before I did this time during the game. Normally
Speaker 2: it's me, I gotta be the bad cop and get
Speaker 2: on my soapbox always talking about it beats a zoo
Speaker 2: bots not getting the basketball enough. Carlo another great basketball mind.
Speaker 2: It's just in a game like this, especially, you're gonna
Speaker 2: make him do all the dirty work and not reward
Speaker 2: him on the other end. I can't take it. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna take a time out. Clippers lose, Zuo Bustin lose.
Speaker 2: Clippers lose one fifteen to one O eight in Toronto's
Speaker 2: team game. Everybody lost. They forget about Zoo. What was that?
Speaker 2: Meete Rix?
Speaker 4: What was that?
Speaker 2: Daniel? Leave it up because we'll love Murray there by
Speaker 2: accident from earlier? Okay, well a lot put up the
Speaker 2: tweet as well. The Clippers got out scored by seventeen
Speaker 2: points in the eight minutes that it eats, Zuboss was
Speaker 2: off the floor and they lose one to fifteen to
Speaker 2: one oh eight in Toronto to the Rafts. I'm out
Speaker 2: of Maslin. You're listening to clipperstock here on ampire seven
Speaker 2: LA Sports.
Speaker 1: This is the LA Clippers audio network, best fans and
Speaker 1: best arena in the entire sport. Take us with you
Speaker 1: wherever you are on the iHeartRadio. Back to Clippers basketball.
Speaker 2: Clippers losing Toronto one fifteen oh one oh eight because
Speaker 2: it beats the Zubas gets frozen out. Now he doesn't
Speaker 2: get frozen out, but he didn't get the basketball nearly enough.
Speaker 2: In a game without Norm Powell eleven shots, he had
Speaker 2: eighteen and eight. He was a plus ten in a
Speaker 2: game they lost by seven and he played forty minutes,
Speaker 2: meaning they got out scored by seventeen points. When it eats,
Speaker 2: the Zubos was off the floor for those eight minutes.
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard off game, his first in his eleven games
Speaker 2: back six of eighteen. James Harden, he's been a little
Speaker 2: bit of a funk in some ways. Seven of twenty.
Speaker 2: You're telling me if Visa Zubos can't get a few
Speaker 2: more shots up when James Harden seven or twenty when
Speaker 2: they don't have Norm Powell. I'm sorry to beat the
Speaker 2: horse again. I don't even know if that axiom is
Speaker 2: allowed to be said in this day and age, but
Speaker 2: I just gotta say, when are they gonna stop forgetting
Speaker 2: about it? Beat to Zubos. It's funny they got it
Speaker 2: to him in the fourth quarter. They've made an emphasis
Speaker 2: to get Zoo going to start the fourth. Finally they
Speaker 2: outscored Toronto thirty one to twenty three in that fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: What were Viza Zubos's numbers when they actually went to
Speaker 2: him in the fourth, So he had eight and six
Speaker 2: entering the fourth, Zoo had ten and two in the
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. He had ten points ten of his eighteen
Speaker 2: in the fourth when they went to him, and they
Speaker 2: won the fourth quarter, didn't win the game, probably because
Speaker 2: they didn't go to him enough. I do think Harden
Speaker 2: has not been great defensively, worse than you know usual.
Speaker 2: He's not known for that as of late. The three
Speaker 2: point shootout that Clippers had in the third quarter. I
Speaker 2: don't mind good looks from the outside and playing the numbers.
Speaker 2: Eventually those are going to fall. My problem is Viza
Speaker 2: Zubas is out there. There are other ways to score,
Speaker 2: and clearly they were leading to long rebounds and runouts
Speaker 2: for the Toronto Raptors. They were playing right into their hands.
Speaker 2: They're the younger, quicker, faster team. We're looking for postgame
Speaker 2: audio from coach lou and the players after this one.
Speaker 2: But this means that even if the Clippers beat the
Speaker 2: Lakers Tuesday, the Lakers will have a better record entering
Speaker 2: the trade deadline. That's coming from Law Murray. They also
Speaker 2: said seven Raptors in double figures. Yeah, as they shot
Speaker 2: fifty two percent from three the twenty eight fast breakpoints. Guys,
Speaker 2: the Raptors had seventeen fast break points in the third quarter,
Speaker 2: and a lot of that is all off miss threes
Speaker 2: or or Terrence Man at least trying to get to
Speaker 2: the basket and losing the basketball. Even though I thought
Speaker 2: he had a really good first half, wasn't a great
Speaker 2: second half. Got KPJ had a really good first half.
Speaker 2: He came back in probably too late. This was one
Speaker 2: of the few times I'd say I thought KPJ was
Speaker 2: gonna come back in earlier in the third quarter. They
Speaker 2: needed some offense. Kevin Porter Junior had a really good
Speaker 2: first half that second quarter. I want to say he
Speaker 2: had six points ten points in the first half from
Speaker 2: KPJ on five of eight shooting. He did have a
Speaker 2: couple of turnovers, but he had five boards in his
Speaker 2: first ten minutes out there. KPJ. He only ended up
Speaker 2: playing like the last two minutes and forty five seconds
Speaker 2: in that third quarter. I thought he could have came
Speaker 2: in earlier when the Clippers we're lacking scoring. Punch eight
Speaker 2: six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six
Speaker 2: six nine eighty seven two five seventy If you guys
Speaker 2: do want to get on. Apparently Wayne is here in
Speaker 2: the chat. He's asking are you taking a calls?
Speaker 1: We are.
Speaker 2: We'll take him appreciation you chat. We tried something new,
Speaker 2: by the way, during the game, we had a live
Speaker 2: chat going. Obviously I wasn't streaming the game in here
Speaker 2: on radio or television, can't do that. But we had
Speaker 2: a live chat going here on the YouTube side, and
Speaker 2: that was a good time. You gotta see some instant
Speaker 2: reaction to some plays that were happening. You gotta get
Speaker 2: your guys' thoughts. Maybe we'll do that for road games,
Speaker 2: home games, might be more difficult. It's pretty louded into
Speaker 2: a dome.
Speaker 5: I just.
Speaker 2: I don't know what to see. Some people just say
Speaker 2: Harden doesn't play defense. That's casual stuff. His post defense
Speaker 2: is very good. Maybe go check out the game against
Speaker 2: Giannis recently. I can bring specific examples. I just say
Speaker 2: he just plays no defense. Isn't true. He's led the
Speaker 2: league in steels. He's got quick hands. It can be selective.
Speaker 2: It's not his strength. I understand that. All right, we
Speaker 2: got our guy. Is it Raji in New York?
Speaker 5: But it's close enough.
Speaker 2: Raia the Tiger. I love that name. I love your name.
Speaker 2: What's up? It's good to hear from you again. One
Speaker 2: of my favorite callers.
Speaker 5: Man, I'm here. I don't do the group the chat
Speaker 5: because the you know, the negativity not really my style
Speaker 5: and smart man, I don't do the over blowing losses.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 5: I like to keep my sanity.
Speaker 2: Now you're you're having mine. I actually have someone with
Speaker 2: some perspective here, Ray. Let me know what'd you think
Speaker 2: the ball game?
Speaker 6: Ya?
Speaker 5: I think it started with it wasn't the greatest defensive
Speaker 5: effort by the Clippers. But yo, once you're superstar, Kawhisna
Speaker 5: knocking down shots. It's hitting the rim hard, Raptors running.
Speaker 5: They were running, and they were told from the start
Speaker 5: of the game. I mean, don't forget. They got a
Speaker 5: really solid coach who says, listen, man, if we end
Speaker 5: up in sould trouble, we're gonna have to live with that.
Speaker 5: But full court pressure. We all four corners at them,
Speaker 5: all four quarters, and you know that kind of Clippers
Speaker 5: ain't really good at like, you know, getting out of that.
Speaker 5: We rely a lot on them hardened and then when
Speaker 5: we try to move the ball. The Raptors were really
Speaker 5: physical today. And like you said, Zoos wasn't getting rewarded
Speaker 5: at all, but he was. He was doing everything he
Speaker 5: could to get the rebound he had. Of course he
Speaker 5: had a great night. But when your stars, when they
Speaker 5: not hitting they shots, it can ugly. And that's what happened.
Speaker 5: But I mean they're gonna be games like that. It's
Speaker 5: the NBA. You're still playing against a group of professions.
Speaker 5: Why would you overblow it, Why would you be so upset?
Speaker 5: Don't overthink it.
Speaker 2: You know, we move on, right. I get the passion
Speaker 2: and some people treat every game like it's the Super Bowl,
Speaker 2: which is not till next week. Some people put everything
Speaker 2: into one game and that creates, you know, more interests
Speaker 2: and more passion from the fan base, and that's fine.
Speaker 2: I just think afterwards you do have to get back
Speaker 2: to having a little bit more of a big picture
Speaker 2: view and that perspective of where the Clippers are at.
Speaker 2: And that's why I keep saying. Their record has them
Speaker 2: seven games over five hundred, they're twenty eight and twenty one,
Speaker 2: and they've only had Kawhi for eleven games. That to
Speaker 2: me should be jarring in a good way. That should
Speaker 2: wake you up and go, Okay, not all is lost.
Speaker 5: Right, I agree? And on top of that, Kawhi may
Speaker 5: have not made his shots, but that's gonna happen with
Speaker 5: any player in history. They're gonna have games like that.
Speaker 5: But he still looked good. Yeah, he's healthy, which is
Speaker 5: all we really ask me. On top of that, Yo,
Speaker 5: do's not deny We got rid of p J.
Speaker 6: Tucker.
Speaker 5: That's eleven and a half million off books? What about that?
Speaker 5: What about the trade deadline hasn't been here yet? Do
Speaker 5: you think the Clippers are done making moves instead of
Speaker 5: focusing on what other teams are doing? Let's just remind
Speaker 5: ourselves that we are in a great position. We still
Speaker 5: got a top six seed, and we got a lot
Speaker 5: more basketball to play, and we got a four game
Speaker 5: home fan, what's really there to worry about?
Speaker 2: Raiga my new favorite caller from New York, the New
Speaker 2: York Clippers fan representing Raygan. Thanks for doing this. Appreciate
Speaker 2: you calling it. You know, I don't normally think callers
Speaker 2: like that. Raiga the Tiger from New York. I love it. Well,
Speaker 2: take a quick time out. We can talk about the
Speaker 2: Clippers in that move. I did a two hour show
Speaker 2: out of yesterday. I Clippers talk on the YouTube set
Speaker 2: with bringing in Drew U Banks and Patty Mills, who
Speaker 2: I don't expect to play much. He could be bought out,
Speaker 2: and even Drew u Banks could be bought out if
Speaker 2: the Clippers on the buyout market bring in someone that's better.
Speaker 2: Because guys, they're in a really good position in the
Speaker 2: buyout market. They have an inside track to getting some
Speaker 2: of the better players who are likely going to be
Speaker 2: bought out around the trade deadline. We'll talk about that next.
Speaker 2: I'm at a Maslin Clippers lose in Toronto one fifteen
Speaker 2: to one, oh eight to the Raptors. You're listening to
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network and AM five seven
Speaker 2: LA Sports.
Speaker 1: The Clippers.
Speaker 3: You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball. Take us with you
Speaker 3: wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Clippers lose in Toronto one fifteen to one oh eight.
Speaker 2: Some people are freaking out. Some people are taking a
Speaker 2: more measured approach and looking at the bird Clippers twenty
Speaker 2: eight and twenty one on the year, They've only had
Speaker 2: Kawhi for eleven games. They are eight and three with
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard, I'm at a maslin. This is Clipper's talk now,
Speaker 2: Kawhi in an off game, but I'm still encouraged by
Speaker 2: him getting to those looks and those shots he got up.
Speaker 2: Those are shots he normally knocks down. He seemed flustered
Speaker 2: because he wasn't getting a foul call. You could see
Speaker 2: it out there. Kawhi was talking to the officials, maybe
Speaker 2: too much. Honestly, at some point you just got to
Speaker 2: play the game. You know you're not getting calls. But
Speaker 2: as easier said than done, too so I understand it,
Speaker 2: and I understand why some people are upset about this
Speaker 2: loss to the Raptors. But if you put it in context,
Speaker 2: they have one eight of ten now they just won
Speaker 2: five in a row. The Raptors almost beat him the
Speaker 2: first time around it into it Dome. They're playing better
Speaker 2: basketball than I think most people have picked up on now.
Speaker 2: The trade deadline is next Thursday, but the Clippers have
Speaker 2: already made a move. They trade a second round pick,
Speaker 2: Mobamba and PJ. Tucker for Drew you Banks and Patty Mills.
Speaker 2: I think the main objective of this move was a
Speaker 2: money play to get under the luxury tax, which they
Speaker 2: are by about four million dollars now. But let me
Speaker 2: tell you something else that could be coming soon. The
Speaker 2: Clippers have three point one million dollars left from the
Speaker 2: mid level exception they used on DJ this summer. They
Speaker 2: didn't spend that money. What happens in the buyout is
Speaker 2: teams bring in guys that are bought out. They still
Speaker 2: got paid contracts are guaranteed by whatever team bought them out,
Speaker 2: and so then you typically yet good players on a
Speaker 2: minimum that were bought out for a variety of reasons.
Speaker 2: A team wants to move on, they have a youth
Speaker 2: movement the second half of the season. Maybe there's a
Speaker 2: locker room issue. It's just a guy they're giving up
Speaker 2: on in their particular case, but that doesn't mean he's
Speaker 2: not a good player still. For instance, you could see
Speaker 2: somebody like Ben Simmons bought out from the Brooklyn Nets,
Speaker 2: who are I think, not being as competitive as possible
Speaker 2: this season to try to get Cooper Flagg, and they
Speaker 2: actually won too many games to start the year. They're
Speaker 2: gonna end up trading Cam Johnson. That's happening. There are
Speaker 2: teams that are openly trying to get worse to eventually
Speaker 2: get much better. It's smart, it's strategic. I don't hate
Speaker 2: on it. Trust the process. The draft is more important
Speaker 2: than ever because of the new CBA. It is how
Speaker 2: and Jerry West used to say, is the lifeblood of
Speaker 2: your franchise. So somebody like Ben Simmons could get bought
Speaker 2: out because he makes like forty million dollars. If that happens,
Speaker 2: what the Clippers can offer is more money, and a
Speaker 2: lot of teams are restricted from offering Ben Simmons anything
Speaker 2: because if you are over the first apron the Clippers
Speaker 2: are not. You cannot pick up a guy in the
Speaker 2: buyout market that made more than the mid level exception,
Speaker 2: which is about thirteen million dollars. Well, Ben Simmons contract
Speaker 2: is forty, so he would be one of those guys
Speaker 2: that makes more than that. He would be sought after
Speaker 2: and the Clippers would have more money to offer him
Speaker 2: than just the veteran's minimum, which is pro rated around
Speaker 2: one million I think one point one at this point,
Speaker 2: because we're later into the season, they could say, oh,
Speaker 2: we got three million, we can throw your way Ben
Speaker 2: if you come here. And he's actually been playing pretty
Speaker 2: well as of late. I know some of you guys
Speaker 2: have soured on him. Understandably. He's not lived up to
Speaker 2: the potential. He had some mental health issues and he
Speaker 2: left Philadelphia didn't end great. But he's had a ten
Speaker 2: and six game, five and eleven assist game recently a
Speaker 2: fourteen to nine assist game, ten and seven assist game
Speaker 2: in limited minutes. He's had some good games. He's still
Speaker 2: a solid defender. He's not what he was before. Also,
Speaker 2: like the back injury, I think it was, but on
Speaker 2: a buyout for not giving up anything, you just have
Speaker 2: to create the roster spot, which means the Clippers might
Speaker 2: end up buying out somebody like Patty Mills, who is
Speaker 2: on an expiring deal. The guy they just brought in,
Speaker 2: you probably remember him from San Antonio, maybe Brooklyn. They
Speaker 2: might buy him out on his two million dollar expiring
Speaker 2: deal to open up a roster spot, or they do
Speaker 2: it to open up a roster spot to convert Jordan
Speaker 2: Miller's to a standard contract. The Clippers have some options,
Speaker 2: and they have some advantages in the buy out market
Speaker 2: because some teams can't go after the players they'll be
Speaker 2: going after, Like the Lakers can't go after some of
Speaker 2: the players they're going after because they're over the first apron,
Speaker 2: so they can't compete with the Clippers for some of
Speaker 2: those guys in the buyout market. And the Clippers could
Speaker 2: offer more because they still have three million dollars left,
Speaker 2: about three point one from the mid level exception they
Speaker 2: gave to Derek Jones Junior this summer. That's not nothing.
Speaker 2: You never know what shakes out after some of these
Speaker 2: trades are made and which guys get bought out by teams.
Speaker 2: Talked about it with Robert Flahm yesterday. But somebody like
Speaker 2: Steven Adams maybe becomes available, somebody like Lonzo Ball maybe
Speaker 2: becomes available. That's how the Clippers can really improve the
Speaker 2: other way. Well, I would want to see it, but
Speaker 2: it's the business. It's a part of this. Terrence Man
Speaker 2: is still an asset that's very tradable, even on that
Speaker 2: three year contract extension that starts after this year. And
Speaker 2: they're in Toronto today, and it made me think of
Speaker 2: the time that it sounded like there was an offer
Speaker 2: with Toronto trying to get Terrence Man for Fred van
Speaker 2: Vliet a couple of years ago. Didn't happen. Clippers held
Speaker 2: on to teach Team Man, but teams and we heard
Speaker 2: from La Murray about this earlier. In fact, Daniel, could
Speaker 2: we pull up this sound? We had La Murray on
Speaker 2: the pregame show and I asked him about Terrence Man
Speaker 2: and if he could be available out there, and you
Speaker 2: know what, why don't we take a quick time out.
Speaker 2: We'll come back. I'll tease it out and you'll hear
Speaker 2: from La Murray who was on with me pregame regarding
Speaker 2: Terrence Man and if he could get moved. I thought
Speaker 2: the answer was interesting. I'm out a mouslin. After the
Speaker 2: Clippers losing Toronto one fifteen to one oh eight. You're
Speaker 2: listening to clipperstock here on the M five seven LA Sports.
Speaker 1: This is the LA Clippers Audio Network, best fans and
Speaker 1: best arena in the entire sport. Take us with you
Speaker 1: wherever you are on the iHeartRadio. Back to Clippers basketball.
Speaker 2: Clippers Fall in Toronto, one fifteen to one oh eight.
Speaker 2: I'm at a Maslin. This is Clippers stock here on
Speaker 2: the M five seventy LA Sports. You know what, quickly
Speaker 2: before we hear from La Murray on Terrence Man and
Speaker 2: coach Loup posts game, let's hear from Mike in l A. Mike,
Speaker 2: what's up?
Speaker 6: Two things? So first, you know you mentioned right before
Speaker 6: going to break that you know we're going to see
Speaker 6: if the parents can get traded.
Speaker 2: I think that it's possibility four hours, it's possible.
Speaker 6: He's learned anything in the last twenty four hours. It's
Speaker 6: that anybody can get traded. I mean, so that's fair,
Speaker 6: you know, I think we would all need to prepare
Speaker 6: for that possibility. And second, what is what is the
Speaker 6: deal with Chris Dunn? Do you know when he's expected back?
Speaker 2: No, when's the last time you heard like this guy's
Speaker 2: expected back at this time in the NBA? I mean
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering, Uh, he's got a left. Okay, here's
Speaker 2: here's the important part. Mike. Originally, when we heard about
Speaker 2: this about a week ago, they said it's not serious,
Speaker 2: so it's left knee soreness. He could be back against
Speaker 2: the Lakers Tuesday night, who knows. They said it was
Speaker 2: possible that he joined him on the road trip. Obvious,
Speaker 2: see that didn't happen.
Speaker 6: I guess that they can provide that extra punch defensively,
Speaker 6: which you know you can clearly see.
Speaker 2: Oh, he's been messed. He's been messed.
Speaker 6: Definitely been messed. All right, my definitely been messed.
Speaker 2: Apciate, appreciate you, my friend. All right, let's hear from
Speaker 2: coach Lou post game. This was after the Clippers lost
Speaker 2: one fifteen to one o eight in Toronto today. Here
Speaker 2: was your head coach.
Speaker 7: Darko's doing a good job. Just make sure the team
Speaker 7: plays hard. It gets up pressure full court, and we
Speaker 7: didn't handle pressure well and then we turned the ball
Speaker 7: over which allowed him to get out and transition, and
Speaker 7: then their pace offensive I thought was just too fast
Speaker 7: for us.
Speaker 4: Big picture for you guys, what do you sort of
Speaker 4: take away from these one?
Speaker 7: A few things, you know, one, just you know, be
Speaker 7: able to play better offensive with our small unit. I
Speaker 7: think is one a thing too, just you know, being prepared.
Speaker 7: We talked about, you know, their pace, how fast are
Speaker 7: gonna play, you know, the splits to cuts, and now
Speaker 7: we didn't handle that very well. So we got to
Speaker 7: do better with that and then just be had to
Speaker 7: handle pressure just in general when teams are picking us
Speaker 7: up full court.
Speaker 4: One of our photographers servius you singing to O Canada
Speaker 4: a little bit before the game, was the appointed choice today?
Speaker 6: Was it?
Speaker 4: What? Was it an intentional choice for you too?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: I like that song.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I heard a lot of times being the
Speaker 7: playoffs here, so I knew it about heart.
Speaker 4: You've heard before or during the American anthem. Did you
Speaker 4: have any reactions?
Speaker 7: No reaction, thank you?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 4: One lesson for for my part? What today was?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 4: Today you lost that anyway? He had? Like if we
Speaker 4: just had the performance? Like what is along? What are
Speaker 4: you seeing from from him this this season? Especially taking
Speaker 4: on too that he has taken a leap in terms
Speaker 4: of of the scoring and also rewelding.
Speaker 7: Yeah, just his growth. I think being a throw them
Speaker 7: the ball and trust him on the post to be
Speaker 7: able to score or make the right play. And he's
Speaker 7: been doing that for us all season, and he's been
Speaker 7: chewed and grown each year. I've been here rebound the basketball,
Speaker 7: protecting the paint, and he's been good for us.
Speaker 2: Tailboatch French Canadian reporter there, I'm guessing asking that question
Speaker 2: about a Visa zubots. I wish you got the ball
Speaker 2: a little bit more. There was Coach Lupo's game after
Speaker 2: the Clippers fell one to fifteen to one O eight
Speaker 2: in Toronto to the Raptors. Remember, Clipper Stock is brought

Speaker 2: underdog fantasy, make picks win money. So coach lu there
Speaker 2: talked about how they have to be better with pace
Speaker 2: and handling pressure, as many of you have talked about
Speaker 2: in the chat here, the Clippers not being good against
Speaker 2: heavy ball pressure. And this goes back to that game
Speaker 2: against the Golden State Warriors for me where the Clippers,
Speaker 2: I think this is accurate, had twelve turnovers in the
Speaker 2: fourth quarter of that game at into It Dome where
Speaker 2: they led big and still won, but there were some
Speaker 2: bad signs with them not handling a press very well
Speaker 2: at all. Twelve turnovers in a quarter is I think
Speaker 2: what it was in the fourth after they were up big,
Speaker 2: and I noticed it then and talked about it a
Speaker 2: lot postgames, saying other teams are gonna look at this
Speaker 2: and pressure the Clippers. And I remember Matt Mattawarren of
Speaker 2: talking shit was like, ah, what's the big deal? A
Speaker 2: win's a win, so it is a big deal. You
Speaker 2: put out bad tape in the fourth quarter, and you
Speaker 2: showed a flaw and other teams have picked up on that.
Speaker 2: And now you see it with the Raptors today too.
Speaker 2: The Clippers have to be better. The book is out
Speaker 2: on them there. You pick them up in the back court.
Speaker 2: They have trouble getting into their offense. All right. Let's
Speaker 2: hear from lot Marie of the Athletic when I asked
Speaker 2: him about Terrence Man. This was pregame earlier today, inquiries
Speaker 2: before about Terrence Man a couple of years ago. Do
Speaker 2: you think Terrence Man is realistically available.
Speaker 8: Available as a strong word.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 8: Are other teams actively interested in him? Yes, like uh,
Speaker 8: Dallas was interested in him. I think their interest might
Speaker 8: have been stronger if Derek Lively wound up saying healthy
Speaker 8: Derek Lively being being hurt kind of you know, they
Speaker 8: needed to go this route. But I think we gotta
Speaker 8: we we gotta see. I think we got to really
Speaker 8: see how things shake out against Anthony Davids trade is
Speaker 8: is a I mean, that's one way to refer to it,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, the Anthony David trade.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they got a d Dallas. I forgot about
Speaker 2: that part of it.
Speaker 8: Hey, hey, Now Dallas is three NBA champions, uh like
Speaker 8: three starters, three stars if you want to call it that,
Speaker 8: the new Big Three. But but yeah, that's the thing
Speaker 8: with Terrence and I wrote about it earlier this week,
Speaker 8: like his value is not diminished outside the NBA. There's
Speaker 8: so many teams that look at Terrence Man and they
Speaker 8: like to, you know, put him in a greater role
Speaker 8: than the Clippers have this year. So while the Clippers
Speaker 8: are not playing him as much, while his contract number
Speaker 8: is lower now than it will be over the next
Speaker 8: couple of years, you know, other teams certainly are interested
Speaker 8: in Terrence and the Clippers are. You know, they're not
Speaker 8: going to just I wrote this, They're not just going
Speaker 8: to give him away. You know, if Terrence Man is here,
Speaker 8: it's because the Clippers look at Terrence Man as a
Speaker 8: valuable piece of a team's playoff rotation, this team's playoff rotation,
Speaker 8: and if he's traded, he's going to be traded for,
Speaker 8: you know, a player who can help at the very least.
Speaker 8: And so Terrence, I think is interesting. And we're just
Speaker 8: gonna have to see who's going, like what direction the
Speaker 8: team winds up going in here as of now I
Speaker 8: don't like I said, I don't look at the Clippers
Speaker 8: as the ones picking up the phone looking shot Terrence.
Speaker 2: There you go, there was Lot Murray there. Pregame on
Speaker 2: Team Man as Trade week is upon us. Clippers lose
Speaker 2: one fifteen to one oh eight in Toronto. Before we
Speaker 2: get out of here, I do want to thank the
