Speaker 1: Phoning in.
Speaker 2: You're taking your calls on the LA Clippers right now.
Speaker 2: This is Clippers Talk on Aaron on Demand, the Clippers
Speaker 2: 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
Speaker 1: now here he is the host of your LA Clippers
Speaker 1: pre and postgame.
Speaker 2: At follow Adam a Adam Mosley.
Speaker 3: Make it five straight Clippers win once twenty eight to one.
Speaker 3: Away here it into a dome over the Memphis Grizzlies.
Speaker 3: I'm Adam Oslins. Welcome into Clippers Talk. Coming up.
Speaker 4: We'll get your phone calls.
Speaker 3: Eight sixty six nine five seventy eight six six nine
Speaker 3: seven two five seventy is the phone number we'll get
Speaker 3: to some of the postgame quotes coming out is the
Speaker 3: Clippers of one to eight of nine and their offense
Speaker 3: is rolling like we haven't seen all year long. This
Speaker 3: is the dream that I had earlier in the sea.
Speaker 3: If you can be that good defensively without Kawhi still
Speaker 3: struggle on offense, what happens when you bring Kawhi back?
Speaker 3: I said pretty quickly. I believe they're gonna turn into
Speaker 3: a top ten offense. Maybe it's taken a little bit longer,
Speaker 3: but over their last twelve thirteen, fourteen games now they
Speaker 3: have been that good offensively. The difference well a two
Speaker 3: times finals MVP who had twenty three points tonight and
Speaker 3: was looking like number twenty three and Haint Lebron. I'm
Speaker 3: talking about MJ with the mid range shots. He's nine
Speaker 3: of twelve from the field overall, one of three from
Speaker 3: the outside, had four assists. Was playing much better defensive,
Speaker 3: defensively net right now, last four games on the defensive end,
Speaker 3: kawhis taking things up a notch. He's feeling good. He's
Speaker 3: getting to that point as he played just over thirty
Speaker 3: six minutes tonight where his legs seem to be well
Speaker 3: underneath him. This was game twenty seven of the season
Speaker 3: for him, I believe, and he's looking like prime Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 3: That's how he's looked over the last handful of games,
Speaker 3: and that's scary for the rest of the league. So's
Speaker 3: this James Harden after a little bit of a dip
Speaker 3: where we thought, oh no, it's the post All Star
Speaker 3: swoon for James Harden where he starts to run out
Speaker 3: of gas. He's been tasked with playing so many minutes
Speaker 3: this season. He's been their MVP, he's been leading them.
Speaker 3: But the usage rating is too high for a guy
Speaker 3: who's thirty five years of age. I brought it up
Speaker 3: plenty well. I think having Kawhi Leonard back has helped
Speaker 3: his legs as well, and Bogie a couple of guys
Speaker 3: putting them off ball more. James Harden dropped thirty on
Speaker 3: eight of fourteen shooting and five of ten from three.
Speaker 3: What a great performance from him, What an efficient performance.
Speaker 3: Nine assists out there as well, just three turnovers. I
Speaker 3: told you two things would happen when Kawhi came back.
Speaker 3: Their offensive rating would shoot way up, and they'd stop
Speaker 3: turning the basketball over the way they were. I still
Speaker 3: had fifteen tonight, but James Hardnoy had three, and overall
Speaker 3: the turnovers are down significantly the last fifteen games. It's
Speaker 3: starting to come together at the right time. There's twelve
Speaker 3: games left in the regular season, none bigger than Sunday's
Speaker 3: game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Just a huge matchup
Speaker 3: for the Clippers and another measuring stick opportunity. As right
Speaker 3: now they're passing all these tests with flying colors. I
Speaker 3: thought in the first half of this ballgame. The Clippers
Speaker 3: look disconnected at times defensively, the pace of the Memphis
Speaker 3: Green was bothering them. After the Clippers were up by
Speaker 3: eight early, they gave up an eight oh run after
Speaker 3: Memphis hit a couple of threes in a layup to
Speaker 3: tie it, and I felt like they took their foot
Speaker 3: off the gas. They were in complete control of the
Speaker 3: game early, they led up, Memphis got back into it,
Speaker 3: and they were leading by two after the first quarter.
Speaker 4: The Clippers were getting cooked.
Speaker 3: By Luke Canard Luky Dookie, who had fifteen points off
Speaker 3: the bench on six of nine shooting three or five
Speaker 3: from the outside. Loved Lukenard, one of my favorite Clippers,
Speaker 3: but he was blowing past defenders, getting the step on
Speaker 3: Bogie and others and creating havoc. Clippers in the second
Speaker 3: half cleaned a lot of that up. But even when
Speaker 3: the Clippers started to figure things out in the second quarter,
Speaker 3: after three turnovers and I think four possessions for the
Speaker 3: Memphis Grizzlies with the Clippers got six points off of
Speaker 3: those turnovers, they had it tied at fifty three in
Speaker 3: the second quarter after Harden hit a step back three
Speaker 3: pointer on triple j and I thought the Clippers were
Speaker 3: about to impose their will. Not so fast, said Memphis.
Speaker 3: They would hit two threes. Nope, make it three. The
Speaker 3: Clippers were far too switch happy defensively. There was a
Speaker 3: play at the end of the second quarter where first
Speaker 3: Done is on Luke Canard because he was cooking them.
Speaker 3: Then he gets the switch and gets Norm on him.
Speaker 3: Then he gets the switch and gets Ben Simmons on him.
Speaker 3: For Ben simmons man was Zach Edy. He tosses the
Speaker 3: ball to Zach Edy, who now has Norm Pell on him,
Speaker 3: and he gets an easy bucket. I thought they were
Speaker 3: far too switch happy, soft switching, and they were still
Speaker 3: down by six sixty. Six to sixty was the half
Speaker 3: time time score twenty four minutes in. What was funny
Speaker 3: was the Clippers at the half, Well, they were shooting
Speaker 3: the ball tremendously. They were at fifty one percent from
Speaker 3: the field. They were nine of nineteen from the outside.
Speaker 3: That's forty eight percent.
Speaker 4: So what's the issue.
Speaker 3: Well, they're eight turnovers in the first half turned into
Speaker 3: twenty one points. Memphis destroyed them on those live ball turnovers.
Speaker 3: Second chance points were also nine to four in favor
Speaker 3: of the Grizzlies. And meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies were taking
Speaker 3: care of the basketball, so they got up eleven more
Speaker 3: shots in the first half than the Clippers. They got
Speaker 3: up fifty the Clippers thirty nine. Some of that is
Speaker 3: because the Clippers got to the charity stripe as they
Speaker 3: did in this game. Attempted twenty six, hit twenty one.
Speaker 3: But it's the turnovers, it's the offensive rebounds that favored
Speaker 3: Memphis at the half seven to one. They were out
Speaker 3: playing and outworking the Clippers, and I felt like a
Speaker 3: Vita Zubats was a little bit disengaged. He was upset
Speaker 3: with a call on a reckless close out on Santi
Speaker 3: Aldama on the right wing. He seemed to be in
Speaker 3: his head, just frustrated with the officials, frustrated with his
Speaker 3: teammates at times. In the third quarter, though, we got
Speaker 3: a different Viza Zubats. Now the Clippers are down six,
Speaker 3: and what does b Shaw do. He starts bogie over
Speaker 3: Chris Dunn in the second half. Chris Dunn hadn't played poorly.
Speaker 3: He had hit a couple threes in the first half.
Speaker 3: He missed two to start, and he kept firing hit
Speaker 3: back to back threes in the first quarter.
Speaker 4: After that, it was great to see.
Speaker 3: He has to hit those shots guys in the playoffs,
Speaker 3: just like we saw tonight. Teams are gonna leave him
Speaker 3: wide open. He has to make them pay, and he
Speaker 3: hit three to three points to night.
Speaker 4: That was big.
Speaker 3: So I was a little bit surprised to see Bogie
Speaker 3: start the third quarter. We've talked about well, our three
Speaker 3: guard lineups problematic. It depends on matchups, and they could
Speaker 3: get away with it against Memphis having Norm, Harden and
Speaker 3: Bogie out there. It didn't start off grade. Bogie did
Speaker 3: hit a turnaround jumper to start the third quarter, but
Speaker 3: then Jalen Wells would hit a three pointer. Kawhi hits
Speaker 3: a three, then a push shot, then Hardened to.
Speaker 4: Zoo for a dunk.
Speaker 3: Is a tie game at sixty nine, a Norm three
Speaker 3: on the right wing, Norm runner in the lane going
Speaker 3: left to right. Clippers are up five. Triple j gets
Speaker 3: a bucket over Zoo. Bogie three was unconscious from there.
Speaker 3: At one point it hit eleven straight three points are
Speaker 3: spanning four games. Clippers are rough six triple j gets
Speaker 3: blocked by Zoo, and I thought that was the turning point.
Speaker 3: Even though Zoo got blocked on the other end right
Speaker 3: afterwards by Scotti Pippen Junior. Zoo was being much more active.
Speaker 3: He had already gotten the basketball off a hardened lot
Speaker 3: to him to make it sixty nine. All a nice
Speaker 3: scor as Carlos said. But now he gets a block
Speaker 3: on triple j Aldamomus is a three. Another big Zoo dunk.
Speaker 3: Clippers up seventy nine to seventy one. It was a
Speaker 3: nineteen to five run as they made eight of their
Speaker 3: first nine shots of that third quarter. Things got sloppy
Speaker 3: for a second.
Speaker 4: They were back to.
Speaker 3: Back turnovers Clippers another turnover, offensive foul and Edie on
Speaker 3: a moving screen. But the Clippers really started to take control.
Speaker 4: Problem was.
Speaker 3: After that eight point lead, just like they had in
Speaker 3: the first quarter, the Grizzlies made another run. They got
Speaker 3: back into it after Luke Canard floater at seventy nine
Speaker 3: to seventy six. Is it gonna be a dog fight
Speaker 3: or the Clippers gonna step on their throats right now?
Speaker 3: They did Kawhi floater over Scottie Pippen Junior. Kawhi some
Speaker 3: really good defense on Luke Canard, Then Edie misses a
Speaker 3: floater on Zoo. Norm would hit a three but traveled.
Speaker 3: But then Dunn comes back in the ballgame at the
Speaker 3: six minute mark of the third for the guy that
Speaker 3: would placed him in the starting lineup, Bogie Harden step
Speaker 3: back three on Zach Edy. Now the Clippers are starting
Speaker 3: to roll a little bit. Harden another step back jumper.
Speaker 3: Clippers are up by ten. Joff banked in a three
Speaker 3: pointer for the Grizzlies to make it eighty six to
Speaker 3: seventy nine, but Niko responded with a three right afterwards.
Speaker 3: Harden gets fouled by Luke Cannard on a three, hits
Speaker 3: all three. Clippers up by ten, and by the time
Speaker 3: they get out of the third quarter, Harden hits a
Speaker 3: push shot that puts him up fourteen. He had twelve
Speaker 3: of his thirty points in the third. He had a
Speaker 3: crossover on Vince Williams Junior where he put him into oblivion.
Speaker 4: It looked like.
Speaker 3: The one on Wesley Johnson against the Clippers from back
Speaker 3: in the day. Unfortunately, he did miss the three. He
Speaker 3: was feeling himself though James Harden crossed him over. I
Speaker 3: mean he put him ten feet away from him, deep
Speaker 3: into the paint with this crossover, James Harden did a shimmy.
Speaker 3: That's how you know he's feeling good. But he did
Speaker 3: miss the three pointer. Oh yeah, he was playing defense
Speaker 3: on Triple J. By the way, for everybody that knocks
Speaker 3: James Harden's defense, they don't watch enough ball. His post
Speaker 3: defense has been good for years and he can guard
Speaker 3: certain guys well. We talked about it coming into the game.
Speaker 3: I mentioned he's gonna be on Triple J at times,
Speaker 3: just like he was on Evan Mobley. He had a
Speaker 3: big strip on him at the end of the third
Speaker 3: quarter and the Clippers ended up leading heading into the
Speaker 3: fourth back in complete control ninety six to eighty two.
Speaker 3: The fourth quarter lineup for the Clippers was Nico Simmons, Bogie,
Speaker 3: Emir in DJ to start, No Kawhi trying to save
Speaker 3: his legs, trying to hold back some of the minutes smart.
Speaker 3: It took him a little bit of time to get
Speaker 3: a bucket to go. I think it was a mirror
Speaker 3: on a back door cut where he got fouled. He
Speaker 3: only made one two, but Kawhi came back in at
Speaker 3: the nine to forty three mark for Nico and really
Speaker 3: started to restore order.
Speaker 4: After a band three.
Speaker 3: Simmons had a pass to a mirror, this time going
Speaker 3: back door on a play for an easy layup. It
Speaker 3: was a beautiful pass from Ben Simmons, by the way,
Speaker 3: wouldn't be fouled this time. Got the layup to go.
Speaker 3: Then Kawhi hits a mid range jumper over Vince Williams
Speaker 3: one o three to eighty nine, triple j floater over
Speaker 3: a mere Now he's guarding. Triple j Amir comes back,
Speaker 3: hits a three pointer al Dama three, Kawhi push shot
Speaker 3: and one tough one oh nine ninety four is the score.
Speaker 3: Bogie hits a three one twelve to ninety four, and
Speaker 3: it's over, ladies and gentlemen. The Clippers go on to
Speaker 3: win by twenty one twenty eight to one oh eight.
Speaker 3: Was your final? Twelfth game this season they've won by
Speaker 3: twenty or more. What's wild in this one is this
Speaker 3: comes from our stack, Guyed Joey. Memphis has lost four
Speaker 3: games this season when they made more threes than their opponent.
Speaker 3: Three of those games are to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Speaker 3: They hit nineteen threes, the Clippers hit seventeen, but they
Speaker 3: took forty nine. The Clippers only took thirty four. The
Speaker 3: Clippers went seventy to thirty four. That's fifty percent from
Speaker 3: the outside. It helps when Bogie goes four of five
Speaker 3: and James Harden goes five of ten and hey, Chris
Speaker 3: Donn three of seven. Clippers win one twenty eight to
Speaker 3: one o eight. Quick time out. We'll come back. We'll
Speaker 3: get to your phone calls eight six six nine eight
Speaker 3: seven two five seventy I'm out of Moslin's. After the
Speaker 3: Clippers make it five straight with another victory here at
Speaker 3: the Dome. The Dome is home more Clippers hockey here
Speaker 3: on a five to seventy LA Sports Next.
Speaker 1: This is the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 2: Best fans and best arena in the entire sport.
Speaker 1: Take us with you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3: Back to Clippers basketb YEA Clippers win one twenty eight
Speaker 3: to one oh eight. Hear it into a Dome over
Speaker 3: the Memphis Grizzlies. They've won eight straight here now and
Speaker 3: are twenty five and six. After losing their first four
Speaker 3: games at Into a Dome, they have been dominant here.
Speaker 3: Steve Balmer has built a fortress and the Clippers are
Speaker 3: protecting it. What a victory, and I gotta say, as
Speaker 3: I see Norman Powell talking to a crowd here postgame,
Speaker 3: we love Norman Powell. Check out the interview with Lawren
Speaker 3: Rosen sit down twenty minutes. Great interview, give an insight
Speaker 3: on his backstory as a human being and as a
Speaker 3: great player for this Clippers team.
Speaker 4: Who tonight?
Speaker 3: I felt like he only had fourteen, but he went
Speaker 3: four of eight. He went one to two from the outside,
Speaker 3: he got to the free throw line.
Speaker 4: This looked the.
Speaker 3: Most like Norman pal tonight to me with his movement
Speaker 3: out there. He didn't take a tone of shots, but
Speaker 3: his movement looked really good. He was getting his usual stuff.
Speaker 3: Awesome to see. Eight six six ninety seven two five
Speaker 3: seventy is the phone number if you want to get
Speaker 3: on clipperstock after they take down the Memphis Grizzlies by twenty.
Speaker 3: Let's start with Demitrius and Manhattan Beach. Demetrious, please keep
Speaker 3: it the thirty.
Speaker 5: S Adam, how you doing?
Speaker 4: Can you hear me doing good? I hear you. Demanrius,
Speaker 4: what's up?
Speaker 5: You know we talked about this. I didn't call you
Speaker 5: the last few games. I've just been watching in detail.
Speaker 5: But like I said again, the recipe I got receipt
Speaker 5: things that is going to take four players in double digits.
Speaker 5: Rather it's Kawhi Bogie, Zubab Harden or Kyle coming in
Speaker 5: the game with the transition defense that they're playing. If
Speaker 5: you notice that there are their numbers went up. The
Speaker 5: numbers went up offensively and defensively they've been stifling. And
Speaker 5: so when we bring that mentality in, we're gonna be
Speaker 5: pretty tough to beat. And if you notice we shot
Speaker 5: fifty percent from three point range tonight, I think Bogie
Speaker 5: has been like I think, yeah, man, you've been talking
Speaker 5: about all these haters on Bogie and the trade, and
Speaker 5: oh they this guy has gotten comfortable. I love what
Speaker 5: I love what the coach did, uh bringing in Bogie
Speaker 5: in the second half, because that mayor Jared he was
Speaker 5: just packing it with Chris Dunn packing it, and like
Speaker 5: you said, it was leaving him to shoot that shot,
Speaker 5: which he's done pretty well tonight. But I'm glad that
Speaker 5: he made the adjustment in the second half and he
Speaker 5: had to come out and play Bogey. So again, I'm
Speaker 5: with you.
Speaker 3: I'm with you, my guy, You're rolling. But I got
Speaker 3: a lot of calls to get to and you make
Speaker 3: a great point. Look, defensively, they weren't very good in
Speaker 3: the first half. They give up sixty six points. They
Speaker 3: gave up forty two in the second half of this
Speaker 3: ball game. And for them to be that good while
Speaker 3: switching out Bogie for Chris Dunn, one of, if not
Speaker 3: your best defender, and for them to go on that
Speaker 3: big run to start the third quarter, it speaks volumes
Speaker 3: about this team and the optionality they have. If Bogie
Speaker 3: cannot be a negative defender that is getting picked on
Speaker 3: constantly out there, and I thought he was better in
Speaker 3: the second half. You really got something because the problem
Speaker 3: with Bogie out there on the floor is teams go
Speaker 3: after him. Luke an Ar was going after him a
Speaker 3: lot in the first half. They don't go after Chris Dunn.
Speaker 3: The problem Chris Dunn presents is teams don't respect his shot.
Speaker 3: But tonight Chris Done went three or seven from the outside.
Speaker 3: So they each have strengths and weakness that cover fore
Speaker 3: another in some ways. But it was a great move
Speaker 3: from b Shaw.
Speaker 4: Great move.
Speaker 3: Let's go to as the Clippers win by twenty over
Speaker 3: the Memphis Grizzlies. Ryan and Santa Ana Ryan, what's up
Speaker 3: here on Clippers soft without Amuscles?
Speaker 6: Hey, Adam Hope, all those Well, yeah, I went to
Speaker 6: the game tonight. It was great, great atmosphere and everything.
Speaker 6: Chris Dunn a pregame was shooting in the corners and
Speaker 6: he was hitting and so I think the first couple
Speaker 6: played they went to him in the corner. He missed
Speaker 6: a couple of times and then he started hitting two
Speaker 6: after that he looked great, but it was Ryan.
Speaker 3: That's a big that's a big deal to me that
Speaker 3: he missed his first two shots Ryan, and then had
Speaker 3: the confidence to be left wide open, everybody's staring at him,
Speaker 3: He's alone on an island.
Speaker 4: To take the third and knock it down.
Speaker 6: He had to be like Dory and finding Nemo was
Speaker 6: just like, forget about it and just keep on keep
Speaker 6: on moving.
Speaker 5: It was, it was good.
Speaker 6: It was It was good to see, but it was
Speaker 6: crazy and Brian uh byron Shaw shout out to him.
Speaker 7: He did really great.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 6: The thing with Tlu always like good counter punchers, they
Speaker 6: see what happens in the first half and then they
Speaker 6: counter it. And it was a good adjudstment to have
Speaker 6: bogey in the second because what what Uh The Clippers
Speaker 6: started off really well too, even with Chris Dunts missing shots,
Speaker 6: but Bogey wasn't missing those shots. So that's where they
Speaker 6: were able to like catch up and then take over.
Speaker 4: It was great.
Speaker 6: It was a great win.
Speaker 7: Uh love it.
Speaker 6: Six players and double figures.
Speaker 7: Uh, can't wait for Sunday.
Speaker 3: Let's go Ryan, I'm with you, and you bring up
Speaker 3: bring up a great point. It's like they probably looked
Speaker 3: at the numbers and said, uh, well, wait a second
Speaker 3: Bogey at the half here, let me run the tally.
Speaker 3: I know Carlo had it as the game was going along,
Speaker 3: but okay, Bogie had only taken two shots in the
Speaker 3: first half, but he was one of one from three.
Speaker 3: So at that point, I think he had already hit
Speaker 3: eight straight three pointers going back to the last two
Speaker 3: games and b Shaw, I'm guessing his thought process was,
Speaker 3: I gotta get him going. He only played eight minutes,
Speaker 3: he only took two shots in the first half. We
Speaker 3: need Bogey, we need him to get comfortable here. So
Speaker 3: I think this was him giving him the green light,
Speaker 3: and he hit the first shot in the third quarter.
Speaker 3: Bogie to put him up, put him up. Bogie put
Speaker 3: him up. Ben put him up.
Speaker 4: Bogie.
Speaker 3: So he ends up in the second half because he
Speaker 3: was one of two, he goes five of seven from
Speaker 3: the field. They emboldened him, they gave him confidence, and
Speaker 3: they noticed that Wait a second, you have a guy
Speaker 3: right now that is on credible hot streak where eventually
Speaker 3: before he missed his last three pointer taken in this ballgame. Guys,
Speaker 3: he had made eleven straight three pointers over the last
Speaker 3: four games, and if you went back further, he was
Speaker 3: fifteen of his last eighteen. Yeah, it makes sense to
Speaker 3: put a guy out there that's that hot. Credit to
Speaker 3: b Shaw and the coaching staff for just noticing you
Speaker 3: gotta ride the hot hand, and I mean scorching hot
Speaker 3: flame on human torch. Stuff from Bogey Kyle in Brooklyn, Kyle,
Speaker 3: you're on Clipper Stoff with out of.
Speaker 4: Maus and what's up.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm glad you're everyone's talking about bogey Man. He's
Speaker 7: playing so well. I'm super excited. It's fun watching tonight
Speaker 7: because I like you as a Luke Canard's fan. I've
Speaker 7: always liked Luke Canard, but I feel like watching Bogie.
Speaker 7: I feels like Bogie is what ty lu always wanted
Speaker 7: Luke Canard to beat. To a certain like this is
Speaker 7: that's a hell of a point.
Speaker 4: That's a hell of a point from Kyle. Guys.
Speaker 3: I want to reemphasize it for people in the chat Kyle,
Speaker 3: because they can't hear the phone calls here on the
Speaker 3: YouTube side. But Kyle brought this up, and I've said
Speaker 3: it before too. He Bogey is the antithesis of who
Speaker 3: Luke Canard was, which was a guy that was such
Speaker 3: a great shooter but was reluctant to shoot at times.
Speaker 3: You don't have to worry about that with Bogey. He
Speaker 3: went one from twelve, one for twelve from three in
Speaker 3: a game this season as a Clipper, and he continues.
Speaker 1: He grabs boards. He grabs some boards.
Speaker 4: Everyoneers a lot more.
Speaker 7: Boards, sometimes ten boards.
Speaker 4: He had a stupid way up in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4: No go ahead, Kyle.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The one.
Speaker 7: The one concern I want to bring up that you
Speaker 7: already brought up. I just want to ask you about
Speaker 7: it is Uh, the defense, especially in the first half,
Speaker 7: looked pretty rough. As far as you know, if you
Speaker 7: miss your sweat, it's just not a big deal. But
Speaker 7: you got to hustle at that guy that you're leaving
Speaker 7: wide open. I saw a lot of moments like that.
Speaker 7: I'm wondering, do you think Van Gundy's being missing, and
Speaker 7: he will be apparently for the next couple of weeks,
Speaker 7: do you think that's going to be a problem for us?
Speaker 3: I mean they've gotten by overall. Obviously he will be missed.
Speaker 3: And I appreciate the phone call Kyle bringing up the
Speaker 3: point that they're missing Jeff Van Gundy right now. And
Speaker 3: it's more than just the schematics and the defensive game plan.
Speaker 3: It is a guy that is relentless with getting on
Speaker 3: them for rotations, and Jeff Van Gundy he is standing
Speaker 3: almost as much as coach Lewis during games. He is
Speaker 3: up and off the bench and extremely active. So he
Speaker 3: will be missed. And while I thought the Cleveland game
Speaker 3: the rotations weren't so bad on Tuesday, it was just
Speaker 3: the Cavs were that hot and they were passing the
Speaker 3: ball so well. There were times tonight in the first
Speaker 3: half with the Clippers looked a little bit slow, They
Speaker 3: didn't look as sharp, They looked lethargic defensively in the
Speaker 3: first half, giving up sixty six points. It looked like
Speaker 3: a low effort first half to me. Only one offensive
Speaker 3: rebound in the first half to seven for the Memphis Grizzlies.
Speaker 4: That wasn't Clippers.
Speaker 3: Basketball, So there is some concern not having Jeff Van
Speaker 3: Gundy right now. They got to find a way though,
Speaker 3: and they did in the second half. Credit b Shaw,
Speaker 3: Dante Jones, the rest of the coaching staff. Clippers win
Speaker 3: once tight to one oh eight. Tear it into a
Speaker 3: dome over the Memphis Grizzlies. More of your phone calls
Speaker 3: coming back. I'm Adam Mosland. This is Clipperstock here on
Speaker 3: five seventy 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 app.
Speaker 2: Back to Clippers basketball.
Speaker 3: Six straight game of the Clippers scoring at least one
Speaker 3: hundred and nineteen points as they put up one and
Speaker 3: win by twenty here and into a dome over the
Speaker 3: Memphis Grizzlies. They have scored one hundred and nineteen points
Speaker 3: or more in six straight games. That ties a franchise record,
Speaker 3: which was back in December of twenty twenty three. So
Speaker 3: last season when they were going on that big run
Speaker 3: where they had gone twenty six and five during a
Speaker 3: thirty one game stretch. It was the best run regular
Speaker 3: season run in franchise history. Welcome back in to Clipperstock.
Speaker 3: I'm Adam Moslin to eight sixty six ninety seven two
Speaker 3: five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 4: Let's go to.
Speaker 8: You know what?
Speaker 3: I should read this because I was just talking about
Speaker 3: it in the chat. So b Shaw said this postgame
Speaker 3: about starting Bogie bog Don Bogdanovich in the second half
Speaker 3: over Chris Dunn. He said, as we expected, because Jaren
Speaker 3: Jackson Junior was on Chris Dunn, sacking off of him
Speaker 3: wasn't respecting a shot, and therefore, with Bogie out there,
Speaker 3: it forced Triple J to defend the lineup of Bogee, Harden,
Speaker 3: Norman Pale, Kawhi Leonard and Avitza Zubats went plus thirteen
Speaker 3: in eight minutes and forty five seconds. All right, Tom,
Speaker 3: who's leaving the game?
Speaker 4: Tom?
Speaker 3: You're on Clipper stop Without'm ausseled.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Hey, the swell was electrics tonight.
Speaker 8: You hear me?
Speaker 4: I guys, you tell I'm sorry, I hear me.
Speaker 9: Oh kay here that it was right. The swell was
Speaker 9: electric tonight. I screamed at Luke Canard and locked eyes
Speaker 9: with him and said that we miss him.
Speaker 7: I have to say that that that second half lineup
Speaker 7: was absolutely lethal.
Speaker 9: It was incredible to start the second half having Bogie
Speaker 9: and Norm on the court at the same time. This
Speaker 9: creates so much spacing, so much room for the offense
Speaker 9: to operate.
Speaker 8: And I agree right like the the amount that you
Speaker 8: have to defend with those.
Speaker 9: Five players on the court at the same time is
Speaker 9: absolutely bananas. So as much as I love that second unit,
Speaker 9: that's all defense, that all offense. The lineup that came
Speaker 9: out in the second half was absolutely huge for putting
Speaker 9: us up early.
Speaker 3: Well, and we say all offensive lineup and it's like, well,
Speaker 3: they got Kawhi out there, and they got to beat
Speaker 3: to Zoubots out there. Still, you know, they got some
Speaker 3: guys that could play some defense. But I take your point.
Speaker 3: It's a good one, Tom, and I like the fact
Speaker 3: that you let Luke Canard know.
Speaker 4: That we miss him because he's one of my favorite Clippers.
Speaker 4: He's just he's just a great human being.
Speaker 3: And he and his relationship with the Beats of Zoobos,
Speaker 3: that bromance there, Uh, they were pretty great together. But
Speaker 3: now Big Zoo has got one with Bogie and that
Speaker 3: has materialized over the last couple of weeks. Here, Tom
Speaker 3: appreciate the phone call. Glad you had a good time
Speaker 3: in the swell.
Speaker 7: Yeah, thank you man.
Speaker 3: Eight six six ninety seven two five seventy. B Shaw
Speaker 3: said this postgame. On this run, the Clippers were on
Speaker 3: winners of eight of nine, he said, quote, we felt
Speaker 3: like we'd be a team the rest of the league
Speaker 3: wouldn't really think about. We just never had a full
Speaker 3: roster of healthy players. We always felt internally we knew
Speaker 3: what we were capable of and it was just a
Speaker 3: matter of having everybody available. Yeah, it turns out when
Speaker 3: you're missing your best players, specifically a guy who can
Speaker 3: play at an MVP level and Kawhi Leonard when he's right,
Speaker 3: and I thought he looked right tonight, even with him
Speaker 3: not taking a shot in that first quarter, which I
Speaker 3: did find alarming at first. He came back in and
Speaker 3: got busy and he was being doubled in the first quarter.
Speaker 3: So there's some logic to that. We'll take a quick
Speaker 3: time out, we'll come back. Final segment here eight six
Speaker 3: six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 3: We'll get to Lenny next in Inglewood, I'm Adam Oslind
Speaker 3: and this is Clipperstock after they win one twenty eight
Speaker 3: to one twenty over the Memphis Schrizzlies.
Speaker 4: Here at the end to It Dome.
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 I Hards Radio.
Speaker 2: Back to Clippers basketball.
Speaker 3: Clippers are victorious eighth straight victory here at the Dome.
Speaker 4: Welcome back in.
Speaker 3: I'muna Moslin live from into a Dome after they win
Speaker 3: oncety eight to one O eight over the Memphis Grizzlies,
Speaker 3: and they are handling business against some quality opponents. Thought
Speaker 3: there could be a hangover after the big victory over
Speaker 3: the Cleveland Cavaliers. There may have been in the first half.
Speaker 3: In the second half, the Clippers defense locked in. They
Speaker 3: win by twenty over Memphis. Desmond Bain only had ten
Speaker 3: points and only took seven shots. He was a game
Speaker 3: time decision and then he got banged up but came
Speaker 3: back in the game. I hope he's doing all right
Speaker 3: out there. Triple J finished with twenty three points, but
Speaker 3: he had to get to take twenty four shots to
Speaker 3: get there. Jaron Jackson Junior went nine up twenty four
Speaker 3: and only had two rebounds.
Speaker 4: You tell me who won that battle.
Speaker 3: That would be Big Zoo and the other guys who
Speaker 3: guarded him, James Harden at times, Ben Simmons at times,
Speaker 3: Amir at times, Nico at times.
Speaker 4: Takes a village. Uh, who do we got here?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 3: Lenny and Englewood one of my favorites. Lenny, you're on
Speaker 3: clipper stock without of Mauzles.
Speaker 8: What's all about him? Good call out tonight man the
Speaker 8: Kyle excellent point. He stole my point. I always once again,
Speaker 8: I got top of the top of the ticket man,
Speaker 8: Lawrence Frank pulling the trigger on that trade to bring
Speaker 8: in Bogdanovich. If everybody in the NBA is talking about
Speaker 8: that Hunter going to Cleveland was it was probably one
Speaker 8: of the biggest trades he. I think vock Gonovinch is
Speaker 8: gonna be one of the second biggest mid uh mid
Speaker 8: season trades. He's aggressive, he's big, he gets rebounds, he
Speaker 8: knows how to run that point. He just you know,
Speaker 8: he's I'm glad he's there. Man, about two years ago.
Speaker 3: Tremendous because the reason you bring up there, it's not
Speaker 3: just that he he's a three point sniper, he can
Speaker 3: score three levels, he can handle the ball, he can run,
Speaker 3: pick and roll. He offers so much for this Clippers team,
Speaker 3: money exactly.
Speaker 8: And then I remember two years ago, man, when you know,
Speaker 8: we were on this train and you were I was
Speaker 8: telling you something may right the Clippers, that they don't
Speaker 8: have that chip on their shoulder, and I said, I
Speaker 8: did not like the fact that so they can win
Speaker 8: and they couldn't win five games in a row. Well,
Speaker 8: we're at five games in a row, I said, I said,
Speaker 8: we got to go to and one with our jah.
Speaker 8: I knew we would get this one, but that our
Speaker 8: eyes in the NBA are on that game on Sunday
Speaker 8: because we gotta get Okay, see still and we can't
Speaker 8: do the clip and thing like, well we got to No,
Speaker 8: we got to get all three of them. That's where
Speaker 8: we are. That's what we need. We need Kawhi learning doing,
Speaker 8: Kawhi learning things and hardened. I don't know what joy
Speaker 8: Juice's on, but Doug gone to keep it up baby
Speaker 8: and done. It is still still a guy. And I'm
Speaker 8: glad he's worked on that three because if he can
Speaker 8: just get shut up a little bit more. We're looking good, man,
Speaker 8: We're looking good. And I hope Tyler gets better and
Speaker 8: I hope Van Gandy gets badman, because we need both
Speaker 8: of those guys. All right, man, have a good night at.
Speaker 3: Him appreciation, Lenny, I feel like you just said all
Speaker 3: eyes on me. Disc two takes place on Sunday. Hopefully
Speaker 3: the Clippers say can't see me to the okay, see thunder,
Speaker 3: because yeah, it's a huge game. And Lenny has been
Speaker 3: demanding of this team in this week in what he
Speaker 3: wants to see. He wanted to see them go three
Speaker 3: and ozero against these teams before they head out on
Speaker 3: the road. Charlotte would be four and oh of course,
Speaker 3: but we were expecting that victory. But even in that game, guys,
Speaker 3: they dominate. They came out I heard this from domin
Speaker 3: Clain on the radio earlier today on the Petros' Money Show.
Speaker 3: Domin Clain Clippers analyst. They came out and handled business.
Speaker 3: It was a business like approach again. And Charlotte, it
Speaker 3: wasn't we're looking ahead to Cleveland. It was we need
Speaker 3: to come out and blast them so we can get
Speaker 3: guys rest for these games coming up. And they did
Speaker 3: so kind of being overlooked. Maybe a little bit is
Speaker 3: the level of professionalism and focus in the Charlotte game.
Speaker 3: Coming off the road trip. Sometimes you don't know how
Speaker 3: those things go. The first game back home, there can
Speaker 3: be a little bit of a layover. But no, this
Speaker 3: Clippers team now you're seeing it longest winning streak of
Speaker 3: the season, five game win streak, and they're just running
Speaker 3: on all cylinders now.
Speaker 4: But a lot of this is just Kawhi.
Speaker 8: Guys.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, this is exactly what I expected when
Speaker 3: he came back. Maybe it's taken a little bit longer
Speaker 3: because he can't train the way he used to. He's
Speaker 3: talked about that recently after the Charlotte game. He has
Speaker 3: to get his reps on the court, get his timing
Speaker 3: back there. But it's happening now in the mid range.
Speaker 3: I mean, he has just been cold blooded in the
Speaker 3: mid range as of late, and he's starting to put
Speaker 3: together the type of efficient games that we're looking for,
Speaker 3: where he gets thirty three on nineteen shots last time
Speaker 3: out and twenty three on twelve shots this time. That's
Speaker 3: the Kawhi efficiency from last season. That's why I feel like, Okay,
Speaker 3: what I said two months ago, was, and probably three
Speaker 3: or four months ago, after about a month into the season,
Speaker 3: when we saw how good this Clippers team was defensively.
Speaker 3: If they could get last year's version of Kawhi back,
Speaker 3: how good could they be?
Speaker 4: That was my question.
Speaker 3: I felt like they'd be a top ten offense pretty quickly.
Speaker 4: They're there now.
Speaker 3: And the defense has remained very good. They had the
Speaker 3: fourth best net rating over their last ten games heading
Speaker 3: into this one. That's only gonna get better after the
Speaker 3: second half they had defensively, and the way they shot
Speaker 3: the basket seventeen to thirty four, fifty percent from three
Speaker 3: to fifty eight percent from the field against a solid
Speaker 3: team defensively, one hundred and twenty eight points the Clippers
Speaker 3: put up.
Speaker 4: This team is dangerous now.
Speaker 3: They are a two way squad with their two way
Speaker 3: superstar back, and they're going up against a very familiar
Speaker 3: soon to be MVP in SGA, a very familiar player.
Speaker 3: On Sunday, tip off here at into a Dumb for
