<v Speaker 2>back mini series. Here and into it home. Welcome back in.

14
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm Adam Oslins. It's Clippers stock for you here on

15
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.799
<v Speaker 2>the Patriot Am eleven fifty and on Clippers Talk on

16
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:43.039
<v Speaker 2>the YouTube side. Eight seven seven five to zero eleven

17
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.439
<v Speaker 2>fifty Eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty is

18
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:50.560
<v Speaker 2>the phone number. Clippers have won thirteen of their last

19
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 2>sixteen games. They have been that good second in net

20
00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 2>rating over their last ten games to the Oak Almost

21
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 2>City Thunder, whoever the best record in the league. Clippers

22
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:09.200
<v Speaker 2>defense was suffocating twenty a time this season. They have

23
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 2>held the team under one hundred points. Their defense is special,

24
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:18.879
<v Speaker 2>especially with Kawhi back, and I mean not just back

25
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.319
<v Speaker 2>out on the court, but back back looking like Kawhi

26
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:26.439
<v Speaker 2>Leonard again. There were five lead changes in the first

27
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 2>four minutes of this one, and then Kawhi really ramped

28
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>up the defense and everybody else followed. That's what I

29
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 2>saw out there. He also hit a mini in the

30
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.040
<v Speaker 2>first quarter after missing a couple of threes. Another one

31
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:50.840
<v Speaker 2>of the dotted line then hit a three pointer. He

32
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:54.840
<v Speaker 2>had nine points in the opening quarter, but the Clippers,

33
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 2>after being tied at ten, went on an eleven to

34
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 2>two run. Zubots had back to back buckets at one point,

35
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 2>and the Dallas Mavericks, after hitting some shots early, went

36
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 2>one for eight to end the first quarter, and the

37
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:17.639
<v Speaker 2>Clippers led twenty nine to sixteen. Second straight game they

38
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 2>held a team to sixteen points in the first quarter.

39
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 2>They were up twenty two to sixteen Wednesday on the

40
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Pelicans after the first twelve minutes. Clippers defense awesome, stellar

41
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 2>and their offense very good to start things off. Dallas

42
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 2>Mavericks are struggling. Maybe they get Anthony Davis back tomorrow.

43
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:43.639
<v Speaker 2>They could sure use them play. Thompson missed the second

44
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 2>half of the ballgame due to illness. I mean, they

45
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 2>were oh of five from three in the first quarter,

46
00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 2>they were oh of twelve from three, oh eleven on

47
00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 2>some box scores, oh of twelve on others. At the half,

48
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Clippers defense was good. Their offense was also very poor

49
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 2>in this one. But the second quarter was interesting to

50
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:13.599
<v Speaker 2>me because what you had was Drew Eubanks in place

51
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:18.360
<v Speaker 2>of Ben Simmons, who should be playing tomorrow, managing his

52
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:23.479
<v Speaker 2>left knee, next to Kawhi, next to Batoum, next to

53
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 2>Bogie and DJ. Typically it's Ben Simmons in there in

54
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 2>that five man unit to start second and fourth quarters

55
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:33.560
<v Speaker 2>with Kawhi Leonard leading the second unit. Right away, Bogey

56
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.080
<v Speaker 2>hits a three. He's been on fire. I don't know.

57
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:41.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what's saying anymore. He's he's been shooting

58
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I think, forty five percent from three going back his

59
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:50.479
<v Speaker 2>last fifteen plus games. Now another good night from beyond

60
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:56.719
<v Speaker 2>the arc. I expected him to be good. He's been that.

61
00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Then some as a Clipper, he's been awesome. He had

62
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:03.520
<v Speaker 2>the best pass of the night, as Carlo pointed out

63
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:07.439
<v Speaker 2>that behind the back wrap around between two defenders two

64
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Drew u Banks for a right handed hammer in the

65
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:12.639
<v Speaker 2>fourth quarter. But back to the second quarter, Bogey hits

66
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.919
<v Speaker 2>a three. DJ Steele and dunk. Clippers are up thirty

67
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:19.439
<v Speaker 2>four to eighteen. I was watching Kawhi Leonard early in

68
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:25.279
<v Speaker 2>the second, got past PJ. Washington. I wanted to see

69
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 2>that burst, but missed, missed a baseline fade away, missed

70
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.800
<v Speaker 2>a floater, so missed his first three shots of the second,

71
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 2>then hit a three pointer as thirty seven or twenty.

72
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Clippers looked extremely active on defense. He's been like that

73
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 2>for weeks now. Two way Kawi has been back. Norman

74
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.600
<v Speaker 2>hit a three pointer to put the Clippers up by twenty.

75
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.680
<v Speaker 2>At forty to twenty, Bogey was playing some good defense

76
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.600
<v Speaker 2>on PJ. Washington, who was trying to bully him on

77
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 2>the block and it wasn't happening. But how about Drew

78
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:02.879
<v Speaker 2>Banks with a spinning layup to make it forty two

79
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 2>to twenty Clippers, And then Kawhi had a nice fade

80
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 2>away on the left elbow done went hit a baseline

81
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 2>layup that made it forty six to twenty one, and

82
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>the Dallas Mavericks scored what was it, I think, eleven

83
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.600
<v Speaker 2>points during a twelve minute stretch from the end of

84
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:30.399
<v Speaker 2>the first into the start of the second. The struggle

85
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.160
<v Speaker 2>was real, and the Clippers defense was as well, just

86
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:38.720
<v Speaker 2>locked down Alcatraz style. They were giving up nothing easy. Focused.

87
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:41.959
<v Speaker 2>It's not always easy to do against a lesser opponent,

88
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:45.480
<v Speaker 2>especially when you're hitting shots. Sometimes you give up some

89
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.680
<v Speaker 2>easy ones on the other end. But the Clippers look good.

90
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Zubot's right hand hook shot forty eight twenty three, another

91
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.639
<v Speaker 2>hook shot, fifty to thirty one. Clippers led it the

92
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:59.160
<v Speaker 2>half fifty eight to thirty five. I mentioned the Dallas

93
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 2>Mavericks being zero of twelve from three at the half,

94
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:07.439
<v Speaker 2>which was unbelievable. Max Christy we hit a three pointer

95
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 2>early in the third. They started to make a little

96
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.519
<v Speaker 2>bit of a run. They got it to within nineteen.

97
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Kawhi turn around, fade away. Kawhi another fade away in

98
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:25.120
<v Speaker 2>the third quarter. Nasty stuff from him. Clipper's got a

99
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:31.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty four second violation on Dallas. Something I did notice PJ. Washington.

100
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:33.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he caught Kawhi with an elbow

101
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.839
<v Speaker 2>to the jaw or to the ear. It was away

102
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:39.879
<v Speaker 2>from the ball. Happened early in the third quarter. Kawhi

103
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:45.120
<v Speaker 2>was kind of shaking his head a little bit, stayed

104
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.240
<v Speaker 2>in the ballgame looked to be okay, and the big

105
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.279
<v Speaker 2>news is they're gonna reevaluate Kawhi to see if he's

106
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 2>good to play tomorrow on a back to back for

107
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:59.279
<v Speaker 2>the first time this season. Hey, the Golden State Warriors

108
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.720
<v Speaker 2>aren't losing. They beat Denver tonight. Up next, they got

109
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:06.759
<v Speaker 2>the Houston Rockets, but they're beating good teams. They beat

110
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:13.000
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers last night. If you want to keep pace,

111
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I guess you got to have that sense of urgency.

112
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:19.240
<v Speaker 2>And Kawhi only ended up playing twenty four minutes. And

113
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.680
<v Speaker 2>if the doctors say he's a go, if he's healthy

114
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:25.879
<v Speaker 2>enough to do it, why not even if he only

115
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 2>gives them twenty minutes For fifteen minutes tomorrow. I know

116
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot of you guys were asking for that. I

117
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.600
<v Speaker 2>was still operating under the abundance of caution, but coach

118
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 2>lou said postgame. La Murray posted this afterwards, Kawhi Leonard

119
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.319
<v Speaker 2>will be reevaluated tomorrow so he could play on zero

120
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:48.879
<v Speaker 2>day's rest. Per tylu So some of you guys that

121
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:52.759
<v Speaker 2>were hoping if you played limited minutes in this game,

122
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:56.360
<v Speaker 2>which he did less than twenty four, it sounds like

123
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.040
<v Speaker 2>we'll find out at some point tomorrow if Kawhi in

124
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:07.839
<v Speaker 2>fact is available. Kawhi had some incredible defense on Caleb

125
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:13.439
<v Speaker 2>Martin also in the third quarter, just he couldn't shake him.

126
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:16.040
<v Speaker 2>He had nowhere to go. Then Kawhi had a steal

127
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.160
<v Speaker 2>in a layup in transition, and Drew Eubanks gets in

128
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.480
<v Speaker 2>the ball game and hit a floater over Kai Jones. Kai,

129
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:27.279
<v Speaker 2>by the way, had a couple of jumpers, like a

130
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:30.439
<v Speaker 2>one just straight up jump shot, another fallaway over Viacha Zoubots.

131
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.120
<v Speaker 2>He was showing off the bag a little bit against

132
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.440
<v Speaker 2>his former team in this one, but I think U

133
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:35.919
<v Speaker 2>Bank's got the best of them. I think this was

134
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:40.559
<v Speaker 2>U Banks's best game as a Clipper. Before the third

135
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.519
<v Speaker 2>quarter was over. Harden Wind a three pointer. Clippers are

136
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:45.679
<v Speaker 2>up twenty one to eighty one to sixty hitting into

137
00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.200
<v Speaker 2>the fourth to start the fourth. I'm gonna look up

138
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.000
<v Speaker 2>these numbers tomorrow because I don't think they're calculated yet.

139
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I think Bogie is shooting some ridiculous numbers from three,

140
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:02.639
<v Speaker 2>especially in fourth quarters, because he had three three pointers

141
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:05.200
<v Speaker 2>in the fourth quarter the other night against the Pelicans.

142
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.120
<v Speaker 2>He had three again tonight in the fourth quarter. He

143
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.759
<v Speaker 2>hit a three to start the fourth quarter, it's eighty

144
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:15.480
<v Speaker 2>four to sixty Clippers. Then Kawhi locked up Max Christie.

145
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:19.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, Kawhi loves going at young guys and

146
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 2>giving them their initiation to the league. Welcome to the NBA. Moment,

147
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.799
<v Speaker 2>Max Christie got it. He's been in the league for

148
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.320
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years now, but he's been playing more

149
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:32.240
<v Speaker 2>minutes and more is asked of him offensively now with Dallas,

150
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:33.840
<v Speaker 2>and he has shown a lot more in his game.

151
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Like I'm not complaining about Nico Harrison trying to get

152
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:41.039
<v Speaker 2>Max Christie away from the Lakers. That made sense to me.

153
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:43.919
<v Speaker 2>I still think they are about two first round picks

154
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:49.159
<v Speaker 2>short of an equal trade. Bogi had a nice pass

155
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:52.320
<v Speaker 2>to DJ underneath the rim for a dunk. I see

156
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.440
<v Speaker 2>other part of Bogdanovic's game. He's a good passer, he

157
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:01.000
<v Speaker 2>can run, pick and roll. He offers something different. Then

158
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.120
<v Speaker 2>DJ had to pass from Bogie above the arc, knock

159
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.120
<v Speaker 2>down to three, and the Clippers were up thirty. Their

160
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:13.159
<v Speaker 2>biggest lead was thirty five, but they were up thirty

161
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.080
<v Speaker 2>after that three from DJ at ninety two to sixty two.

162
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.960
<v Speaker 2>U Bank's layup Bogie another three, his third of the

163
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:26.399
<v Speaker 2>fourth U Bank's big right handed throwdown. Patty Mills gets

164
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.120
<v Speaker 2>in the game. Bogi goes behind the back, then between

165
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:34.200
<v Speaker 2>two defenders to U Banks for another right handed throwdoun.

166
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Nasty work. Cam Christy actually got into the ballgame, had

167
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.840
<v Speaker 2>a put back on a miss because the Clippers were

168
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.600
<v Speaker 2>up by as many as thirty five. U Banks block

169
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.039
<v Speaker 2>Kai Jones. Sky Jones got blocked by Drew U Banks.

170
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:53.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know he was. He was on different times

171
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.279
<v Speaker 2>tonight than I had seen from Drew U Banks, and

172
00:10:55.279 --> 00:11:00.720
<v Speaker 2>I like it tonight. The guys saw could get some

173
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:04.080
<v Speaker 2>playoff minutes depending on the matchup. Then you know they're

174
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:08.120
<v Speaker 2>big out there. Clippers, big victory one fourteen to ninety

175
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:12.320
<v Speaker 2>one over the Dallas Mavericks where Kawhi only plays twenty

176
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.279
<v Speaker 2>four minutes and it's going to be reevaluated in the

177
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.399
<v Speaker 2>morning to see if he's available for tomorrow's game, and

178
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:20.799
<v Speaker 2>you know Kawhi wants to play. Is up to the doctors.

179
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:24.120
<v Speaker 2>He played twenty three minutes and forty four seconds, technically

180
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 2>eight of seventeen, twenty points, six boards, great defense. Clippers

181
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:34.039
<v Speaker 2>blow out the Dallas Mavericks, will take a quick time out.

182
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:37.720
<v Speaker 2>We'll come back more clipperstock live from into a Dome.

183
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:40.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm out of Maslin's and you're listening to the Patriot

184
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:41.039
<v Speaker 2>amleven fifteen.

185
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.759
<v Speaker 1>This is the LA Clippers Audio Network.

186
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:49.679
<v Speaker 5>Best fans in best arena in the entire sport.

187
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Take us with you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio.

188
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:54.519
<v Speaker 3>Back to Clippers basketball.

189
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Clippers win one, fourteen to ninety one over the Dallas Mavericks.

190
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.840
<v Speaker 2>You're at into a Dome. The Dome is home. I'm

191
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:04.120
<v Speaker 2>out of Moslin. Welcome back in. Shout out the wall.

192
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:09.360
<v Speaker 2>You guys did damage again. The Dallas Mavericks missed nine

193
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.720
<v Speaker 2>free throws. They went seventeen of twenty six at the

194
00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:17.840
<v Speaker 2>charity stripe and shout out the Nico Batoom greater than

195
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Nico Harrison signed. Awesome to see. I'm still frustrated by

196
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:30.639
<v Speaker 2>that trade. I gotta be honest with you. I know

197
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.600
<v Speaker 2>this is Clippers stock, but they're taking on Dallas. Luca's

198
00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:36.240
<v Speaker 2>not there anymore. Ad is not able to play this game.

199
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:42.399
<v Speaker 2>We'll see if he plays tomorrow. That trade is so baffling,

200
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.799
<v Speaker 2>like Luca could get hurt the next game, never play again.

201
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.799
<v Speaker 2>And it was still a bad trade because you didn't

202
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:57.039
<v Speaker 2>get equal value, and you helped out the Lakers, which

203
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.639
<v Speaker 2>is why I'm so bothered. I mean, I feel for

204
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Dallas Mavericks fans first. I feel for the rest of

205
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:06.080
<v Speaker 2>the league and especially the Clippers, who have dealt with

206
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Luca more than anyone after Mark Jackson. Kai Jones is

207
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:16.960
<v Speaker 2>a freak athlete who is trying to figure out the

208
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:19.440
<v Speaker 2>basketball side of it. Reminds me of stro Miles Swift.

209
00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:22.559
<v Speaker 2>I have mentioned stro Miles Swift with Sky Jones, and

210
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm a fan of his, but yeah, he just doesn't

211
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:30.759
<v Speaker 2>have those natural basketball instincts. But man, he hit a

212
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.720
<v Speaker 2>fallaway in the second half of this one over viats

213
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:38.639
<v Speaker 2>the Zubats. He's gotten a green light in Dallas because

214
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:43.399
<v Speaker 2>of all the injuries. Danielle gafferd just came back, Derek

215
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Lively still out. Maybe he plays tomorrow, ad maybe he

216
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.720
<v Speaker 2>plays tomorrow. So he's gotten a ton of minutes to

217
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:56.600
<v Speaker 2>work through. You know, some of the kinks are some

218
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:58.759
<v Speaker 2>of the struggles out there. When you know you're getting

219
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.279
<v Speaker 2>a certain chunk of minutes, there's less pressure with every shot.

220
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's tough for young guys when you know

221
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.559
<v Speaker 2>you're only getting five ten minutes every shot is so big,

222
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:15.279
<v Speaker 2>and guys are gripping when you know you're getting a

223
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:19.679
<v Speaker 2>solid amount of minutes, and guy Jones ended up with

224
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:25.200
<v Speaker 2>almost twenty three. In this game, you can play with

225
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.639
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more looseness to your game, calmness, and

226
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:34.799
<v Speaker 2>he looked like it. He wasn't looking over his shoulder

227
00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:39.000
<v Speaker 2>like he's gonna get pulled if he takes a jump shot.

228
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:43.519
<v Speaker 2>But that's simply because the position Dallas is in versus

229
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:47.480
<v Speaker 2>where the Clippers were with him, and the expectations were

230
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:50.879
<v Speaker 2>a lot higher. But I'm still rooting for Sky Jones.

231
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm a fan, maybe because I gave him that nickname

232
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.080
<v Speaker 2>right before you had the game winning al up up

233
00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:04.600
<v Speaker 2>in Seattle against Portland in the preseason. Yeah, Drew eu

234
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Banks played tonight because no Ben Simmons, and I thought

235
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.759
<v Speaker 2>he played well. Dre brought that up on the YouTube

236
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.600
<v Speaker 2>chat side. I think this was his best game, and

237
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:16.720
<v Speaker 2>I said that like midway through the third quarter. I

238
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:19.960
<v Speaker 2>was like, you know, I think Carlo and I were

239
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:23.039
<v Speaker 2>talking off air. This is low key Drew Eubanks the

240
00:15:23.080 --> 00:15:27.240
<v Speaker 2>best he has looked. He looked really good tonight, level

241
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:33.120
<v Speaker 2>of competition factor, all those things in Yes, but there

242
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:38.600
<v Speaker 2>was some confidence from Drew eu Banks like he went

243
00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:43.039
<v Speaker 2>six of seven with twelve and seven in seventeen minutes.

244
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:46.200
<v Speaker 2>He was a plus seventeen, a lot of sevens there.

245
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:53.039
<v Speaker 2>I was happy for him. I hope that carries over

246
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.919
<v Speaker 2>because he's a big body and you never know, depending

247
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:02.440
<v Speaker 2>on matchups in the playoffs, you might need them. Dave

248
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Richards said, Adam, who do you most want to see?

249
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:08.759
<v Speaker 2>First round? Between the Lakers, Rockets, Denver and Golden State

250
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:14.759
<v Speaker 2>Rockets easy, no disrespect. Rockets are good. They could win

251
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.919
<v Speaker 2>that series. There's an unknown factor there with how some

252
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:21.960
<v Speaker 2>of these young guys are gonna look in their first

253
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:26.399
<v Speaker 2>playoff action, how Jalen Green, Jabari Smith, Amen Thompson could

254
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:30.120
<v Speaker 2>look out there because they just haven't tasted playoff basketball

255
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:33.639
<v Speaker 2>before and that's scary. But I'd rather take the inexperience

256
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:38.639
<v Speaker 2>versus championship experience with Denver and Golden State and the

257
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Lakers with Lebron. Enzop said, I don't want to play

258
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Luca again. I think a lot of people feel like that.

259
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:50.559
<v Speaker 2>Chunk said, at this point, I think Lakers, grizz or

260
00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:52.559
<v Speaker 2>Nuggets have a better chance of being in play in

261
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:58.120
<v Speaker 2>than t Wolves, or Warriors. If you look at the

262
00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:02.879
<v Speaker 2>NBA standings after the Clippers victory tonight over Dallas and

263
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:08.400
<v Speaker 2>the Warriors winning over the Nuggets, and also the Rockets

264
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:12.599
<v Speaker 2>winning earlier over Oksee. So the Rockets remember ok See,

265
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:14.880
<v Speaker 2>they're the number one seed, that it's already locked up.

266
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:17.519
<v Speaker 2>That's over. The Rockets are thirteen and a half games

267
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:21.200
<v Speaker 2>behind them. I don't know, national media wise, they have

268
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.759
<v Speaker 2>not made a big enough deal about just how dominant

269
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Okac has been all season long. They might win sixty

270
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:30.000
<v Speaker 2>nine to seventy games, how many they got left. They're

271
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:32.559
<v Speaker 2>at sixty four and thirteen. Houston's behind them in the

272
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:35.000
<v Speaker 2>two spot at fifty one to twenty seven. They are

273
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:37.160
<v Speaker 2>three and a half games up on the Lakers, who

274
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:39.799
<v Speaker 2>are now in the three spot. They won over the Pelicans.

275
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:44.720
<v Speaker 2>They're forty seven and thirty. The Lakers are half game

276
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:47.799
<v Speaker 2>up on Denver, who lost to Golden State tonight. They're

277
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:51.440
<v Speaker 2>forty seven and thirty one. Golden State is forty six

278
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:54.440
<v Speaker 2>and thirty one in the five spot, behind Denver by

279
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:59.400
<v Speaker 2>a half game. Minnesota is in the sixth spot at

280
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:04.119
<v Speaker 2>forty five in thirty two. The Clippers are tied with

281
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.680
<v Speaker 2>them and with Memphis, and the Clippers are in front

282
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:12.119
<v Speaker 2>of Memphis due to the tiebreaker head to head, Clippers

283
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:14.960
<v Speaker 2>in the seventh spot in the playing currently Memphis in

284
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:19.319
<v Speaker 2>the eighth spot. That is Dallas at thirty eight and

285
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:23.079
<v Speaker 2>forty in the ninth spot and Sacramento at thirty seven

286
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:28.119
<v Speaker 2>and forty in the tenth spot. Phoenix is almost done,

287
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:32.759
<v Speaker 2>as they got waxed tonight by the Boston Celtics. I

288
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know if they're mathematically eliminated. I don't think they are.

289
00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Two games back in Sacramento, but that is some of

290
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.960
<v Speaker 2>the most uninspiring basketball I've ever seen by a team

291
00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:46.799
<v Speaker 2>that talented. I mean, they've gotten I think sixty games

292
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:49.440
<v Speaker 2>from KD and Booker this year. What is the issue?

293
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:51.720
<v Speaker 2>It should not be this bad. I mean, I know

294
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:59.119
<v Speaker 2>defensively they're not good. There's more to that story. So

295
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:06.400
<v Speaker 2>the Clippers are in a solid position where with five

296
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:11.400
<v Speaker 2>games left, if they win all five, they're guaranteed to

297
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.799
<v Speaker 2>be out of the plane. They running back tomorrow against Dallas,

298
00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:20.039
<v Speaker 2>and Kawhi may play. He's gonna be reevaluated. See if

299
00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:24.640
<v Speaker 2>he's good for a back to back sense of urgency.

300
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Now we don't know what doctors are gonna say about it.

301
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Kauhi has been willing to play back to backs. He's

302
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:36.000
<v Speaker 2>the players always want to play. He said after their

303
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:43.000
<v Speaker 2>last one Cleveland Orlando last weekend that he was good.

304
00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:49.119
<v Speaker 2>But you can't push things. Some people in here are

305
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:52.720
<v Speaker 2>saying not worth it. Sit Kawhi like, if the doctors

306
00:19:52.720 --> 00:20:01.240
<v Speaker 2>say he's good and it's limited minutes tomorrow A We're gonna trust,

307
00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:04.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, bro Science or the doctors who have been

308
00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:08.119
<v Speaker 2>evaluating the situation the entire time. But they say he's good,

309
00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:11.319
<v Speaker 2>He's good. Maddix said, I think Hawhi is playing tomorrow

310
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:18.680
<v Speaker 2>him with They said, Denver Vans are turning on against Westbrook. Well,

311
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.279
<v Speaker 2>the Russell Westbrook experience has been on full display over

312
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:25.240
<v Speaker 2>the last week. Mark Jack said, dinwid he was blowing

313
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:27.400
<v Speaker 2>past Bogey, but Bogey is giving a ton of effort

314
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:29.599
<v Speaker 2>on defense, and he's smart. I'll tell you what PJ.

315
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Washington wasn't. He tried to bully him, back him down.

316
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Bogey stood his ground. Hotline bling is a good song

317
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.960
<v Speaker 2>and said Ad didn't want to ruin the perfect record?

318
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:46.559
<v Speaker 2>What perfect record? Dre said, Ad, you gonna play tomorrow

319
00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:50.079
<v Speaker 2>for sure, Legend said Westbrook is destroying us even when

320
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:53.200
<v Speaker 2>he's not here. X Mamo project. He said kai Jones

321
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:57.559
<v Speaker 2>era felt so many years ago? Kind of did I mean?

322
00:20:57.640 --> 00:21:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Kai Jones was their center to start the season. Remember

323
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Obamba was out their backup center. He had an opportunity.

324
00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:09.839
<v Speaker 2>But his problem is just basketball instincts wise because he

325
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:13.799
<v Speaker 2>started playing at a later age. Track star always beats his

326
00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:17.599
<v Speaker 2>man down the floor, triple jumper guy like well Chamberlain was.

327
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:25.680
<v Speaker 2>His problem is just positioning, knowing where to be every possession.

328
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:27.680
<v Speaker 2>But I hope he figures it out. And he's still

329
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:29.839
<v Speaker 2>young enough and he works hard. And if you listen

330
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:32.000
<v Speaker 2>to any the interviews, like I don't know how you

331
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:36.559
<v Speaker 2>couldn't be rooting for kai Jones. Kay Jones, I'm all

332
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:39.279
<v Speaker 2>in following his career. I still follow him on on

333
00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:42.839
<v Speaker 2>the Instagram. The Graham Mark Jackson, I expect the Maps

334
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.640
<v Speaker 2>to try and get revenge tomorrow. Can't come out sleepwalking. Yeah,

335
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:48.359
<v Speaker 2>I expect the maps to be better. They're not gonna

336
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:54.720
<v Speaker 2>start zero of twelve from three tomorrow. Sim Max said,

337
00:21:54.799 --> 00:22:00.960
<v Speaker 2>you Banks played well? Did U Banks? Lowke he cooked

338
00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Dre's gaming said they must be focused tomorrow even more,

339
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:10.880
<v Speaker 2>especially starting out. Yeah, you're right. I thought they still

340
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:23.960
<v Speaker 2>started slow slightly, but Kawhi after the first time out

341
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:30.319
<v Speaker 2>looked really laser focused defensively, and I think it kind

342
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:35.440
<v Speaker 2>of energized the rest of the group. Kawhi is so

343
00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:40.079
<v Speaker 2>underrated in how few possessions. I know he's defensive Player

344
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:44.079
<v Speaker 2>of the Year winner, but how few possessions he takes

345
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:47.680
<v Speaker 2>off with what is asked of him offensively, How few

346
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:50.359
<v Speaker 2>possessions he takes off on the defensive end. And that

347
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:54.519
<v Speaker 2>guy has so much pride defensively, it's just incredible, and

348
00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:57.960
<v Speaker 2>he's bapped to playing at that high level now. But

349
00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:02.559
<v Speaker 2>it was a ten to ten game, and then he

350
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:05.279
<v Speaker 2>got a shot to go, got to the free throw line.

351
00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:10.519
<v Speaker 2>He scored seven straight for them from the five point

352
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:15.119
<v Speaker 2>fifty six mark of the first quarter to the four

353
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:19.119
<v Speaker 2>to twenty nine mark and now they're up seventeen to

354
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:23.279
<v Speaker 2>ten or four to forty one mark. Like he just

355
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:26.880
<v Speaker 2>took over and that's his offense. His defense was special

356
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.920
<v Speaker 2>during that stretch too, like it was Kawhi leading them.

357
00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:34.640
<v Speaker 2>I thought James Harden really struggled early on. He had

358
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:38.200
<v Speaker 2>four turnovers in the first quarter, four of their five,

359
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:42.559
<v Speaker 2>and they were some real bad, sloppy miscues from James.

360
00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:47.400
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't his best game. Thirteen points, four over eleven shooting,

361
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:51.880
<v Speaker 2>five assists of five turnovers, so he only had one

362
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:54.279
<v Speaker 2>after the first quarter. He cleaned it up as he

363
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:58.119
<v Speaker 2>typically does. He's had some bad quarters, some bad halves.

364
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:03.279
<v Speaker 2>Turn it around. Yeah, I'm sure Baldwin Juniors shot looked nice.

365
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:06.720
<v Speaker 2>He knocked down two three pointers in his three minutes late.

366
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:12.119
<v Speaker 2>I was watching this form going like, wow, is that

367
00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Michael Porter Junior out there? Okay, okay, chill. Mark Jacks

368
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:19.200
<v Speaker 2>said they probably strategically sat Clay out in the second half,

369
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:22.039
<v Speaker 2>resting him for the next game. They said he was

370
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:26.599
<v Speaker 2>out with an illness. Max Christie started the second half. Yeah,

371
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:29.799
<v Speaker 2>Dre's talking about it. Baldwyn Junior's ball, he had a

372
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:33.119
<v Speaker 2>wet ball. He had some splash splash bros to him

373
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.519
<v Speaker 2>with those three pointers. It kind of clayish the shot now,

374
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:39.759
<v Speaker 2>it was just I don't know, I was a pretty shot.

375
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Mark Jack said, the MAVs are playing for positioning in

376
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:49.839
<v Speaker 2>the play in true, but the positioning is are they

377
00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:52.119
<v Speaker 2>going to be ninth or tenth? Basically, are they going

378
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:55.759
<v Speaker 2>to get a home game because they can't catch the

379
00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:58.799
<v Speaker 2>Clippers or Memphis Grizzlies or anybody else. They can't get

380
00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:01.359
<v Speaker 2>into the seven eight. They're locked into the nine ten.

381
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:06.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't could Phoenix if they won out Dallas lost out,

382
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:10.279
<v Speaker 2>the Suns could probably catch them. But oh that's happening.

383
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Not with the way that Sons have been playing. We'll

384
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:15.400
<v Speaker 2>take a quick time out. Clippers win one fourteen to

398
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:02.799
<v Speaker 2>we get some zoo banks minutes? I think we did.

399
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Drew Eubanks showed me something tonight that he can be serviceable.

400
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I think he's he started off okay, had some down games.

401
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:20.359
<v Speaker 2>The last time we saw him, I think was against

402
00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:24.000
<v Speaker 2>was it Orlando where he got pulled Yes, at the

403
00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:27.599
<v Speaker 2>end of the first quarter after a bad turnover. They

404
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:31.839
<v Speaker 2>put Kawhi back in for him. Coach lou was not

405
00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:34.440
<v Speaker 2>happy with this play in like a minute and a half.

406
00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:39.400
<v Speaker 2>So let's hope he's got a little bit more confidence

407
00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:42.599
<v Speaker 2>and an understanding of what they're asking of him, because

408
00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:44.480
<v Speaker 2>I thought Drew Eubanks was really good in this game.

409
00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Terry eighty six. Eighty six says Adam. I just want

410
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:53.680
<v Speaker 2>us to be out of the play in, but be

411
00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:59.279
<v Speaker 2>healthy playoff LA season. What about Kobe Brown, I was

412
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:05.680
<v Speaker 2>underwhell by his minutes four of two from three. Did

413
00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:07.200
<v Speaker 2>he take one at the end of the third quarter

414
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:10.559
<v Speaker 2>or the end of a shock lock? I just I've

415
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:15.079
<v Speaker 2>always felt like the idea of Kobe Brown was a

416
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:17.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of it was based off of him shooting forty

417
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:21.000
<v Speaker 2>six percent from three is last season at Missoo and

418
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:24.200
<v Speaker 2>being a jack of all trades but a decent three

419
00:27:24.200 --> 00:27:26.519
<v Speaker 2>point shooter at this level. Is I think with any

420
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.759
<v Speaker 2>of him a guy who could bring the ball up, rebound,

421
00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:35.799
<v Speaker 2>switched defensively onto multiple guys, and then also knock down

422
00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:39.680
<v Speaker 2>the three ball here and there. Three ball is not translated,

423
00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:43.240
<v Speaker 2>not at the NBA level, not at the g leigue level.

424
00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:45.440
<v Speaker 2>And you know, he went from shooting like twenty five

425
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.680
<v Speaker 2>percent his first few years in college forty six percent.

426
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:54.160
<v Speaker 2>It was one year. Unfortunately. I'm rooting for him because

427
00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:57.640
<v Speaker 2>I do think he has some nice reads here and

428
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:00.720
<v Speaker 2>there with his passing and his playmaking and the connector

429
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:03.720
<v Speaker 2>guy and is rebounding.

430
00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:03.440
<v Speaker 3>But.

431
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:06.759
<v Speaker 2>They need him to be able to knock down shots

432
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:12.599
<v Speaker 2>from the outside. Mark Jagg talking about the Suns, Bradley

433
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:15.039
<v Speaker 2>Beal gets this huge contract whether he scores one or

434
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:18.240
<v Speaker 2>thirty points, that seems to be his attitude. I don't know.

435
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I've heard Suns fans be like, he just wants to

436
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:27.319
<v Speaker 2>play low expectations basketball. But I haven't watched enough games

437
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:32.720
<v Speaker 2>he has that no trade cause and maybe that was

438
00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:35.240
<v Speaker 2>part of the issue going on with Phoenix because something

439
00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:40.279
<v Speaker 2>does not smell right there. Who else we got? Easio said?

440
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Nico and Ben Legacy Game Tomorrow, death Stroke said, if

441
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:48.039
<v Speaker 2>you Banks can develop some playmaking and get stronger, he

442
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:50.599
<v Speaker 2>can get some minutes. I don't think they're looking for

443
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:53.759
<v Speaker 2>playmaking from him. I think what they're looking for is

444
00:28:53.880 --> 00:29:01.960
<v Speaker 2>rent protection, rebounds and a few putbacks and you know,

445
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:07.599
<v Speaker 2>a few floaters here and there, just some easy big

446
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:17.319
<v Speaker 2>man offense, rim runs, finishing plays at the rim. Mueller said,

447
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:19.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm about to bet my mortgage on the Clips winning

448
00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:22.480
<v Speaker 2>the Chip this year. Okay, good luck to you, sir.

449
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Marcel said, I'm also still frustrated with the trade. I

450
00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:27.839
<v Speaker 2>was just thinking that today. That goes back to me

451
00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:30.960
<v Speaker 2>talking about Nico Harrison. Yeah, it's every day for me.

452
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:36.079
<v Speaker 2>Dre said, yeah, Kawhi told Zu come up higher on

453
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:39.279
<v Speaker 2>the pick and roll. He was really locked in defensively. Yeah,

454
00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Kawhi communicating out there. Well. Damien said, we'll be seven

455
00:29:43.160 --> 00:29:46.920
<v Speaker 2>or eight in the play in. Unfortunately, if they went out,

456
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:51.680
<v Speaker 2>they won't be in the plan. Dre said, no team

457
00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:54.039
<v Speaker 2>wants to play us. Mark Jaggs said, z you better

458
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:57.480
<v Speaker 2>get his rest tonight going up against eighty tomorrow. So

459
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Zoo ended up playing just twenty six minutes, now twenty seven.

460
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Chris dun was at twenty three. Harden, of course, still

461
00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:09.640
<v Speaker 2>got to thirty minutes. Somehow, Norman Palell just under thirty,

462
00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:14.599
<v Speaker 2>Kawhi just under twenty four bogey with twenty one, Derek

463
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Jones Junior with twenty three minutes. I liked his game.

464
00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:25.559
<v Speaker 2>I love the versatility of Derreck Jones Junior. Whether coming

465
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:29.359
<v Speaker 2>off the bench or with the starters, you get real

466
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.039
<v Speaker 2>consistency from him. In a lot of different lineups and

467
00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:38.920
<v Speaker 2>rotations out there. He remains the same. He's been very

468
00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:42.559
<v Speaker 2>stable and consistent. Terry said Adam, those four teams don't

469
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:45.200
<v Speaker 2>want us as well. Yeah, nobody wants see the Clippers

470
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:49.559
<v Speaker 2>for sure, like nobody wants to see anybody in the West.

471
00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:54.799
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be a bloodbath in the playoffs. Chunk said,

472
00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:57.759
<v Speaker 2>we match up pretty perfectly with Golden State, though, Yeah,

473
00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:00.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't hate their chances against Golden State. Kny the

474
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.079
<v Speaker 2>GM said Denver really lost against the Wolves and Golden State.

475
00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:09.079
<v Speaker 2>Mark Jaggs said, if okay See rest guys, that might

476
00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:12.359
<v Speaker 2>throw off their rhythm and momentum. Denver really lost to

477
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:15.759
<v Speaker 2>San Antonio, by the way, in between those two games,

478
00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:19.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Okaysee is so good with their perimeter defense,

479
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:25.039
<v Speaker 2>they don't have a lot to worry about. I think

480
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:28.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's their inexperience, Like are they going to

481
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:33.160
<v Speaker 2>play to their talent level? If they do, maybe nobody

482
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:36.160
<v Speaker 2>beats them and they're just that good and they got

483
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:39.319
<v Speaker 2>the MVP and Shay the kny GM said, it's ridiculous

484
00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:43.680
<v Speaker 2>that the seventh and eighth seeds have more more than

485
00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:46.160
<v Speaker 2>seven wins over the ninth and tenth and still have

486
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:49.160
<v Speaker 2>to play in the plan. I mean that's fair. The

487
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:53.000
<v Speaker 2>first year, remember of the play in, it was different.

488
00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:58.440
<v Speaker 2>It was the COVID year. It was twenty twenty, and

489
00:31:58.599 --> 00:32:01.400
<v Speaker 2>they said, you know, if team get within five games

490
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:06.160
<v Speaker 2>one another, they'll do it. I think it was Memphis

491
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:12.359
<v Speaker 2>in Portland and Portland just had to win one game

492
00:32:13.960 --> 00:32:16.400
<v Speaker 2>to get out and Memphis would have to win two

493
00:32:16.599 --> 00:32:19.920
<v Speaker 2>because they had the worst record. So it was a

494
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:25.240
<v Speaker 2>different format for the play and then and part of

495
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:28.039
<v Speaker 2>it was you had to be close enough in the standings.

496
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:31.240
<v Speaker 2>It's a good point, Kenny. We don't know if Lively

497
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:33.839
<v Speaker 2>is playing tomorrow yet, I'm just gonna assume he is.

498
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Dre said, got to go, you guys, have a good

499
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:40.920
<v Speaker 2>night with you for another ten minutes here, Maddick said,

500
00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Adam BJ Matthews. For somehow it feels like he don't

501
00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:46.720
<v Speaker 2>trust the Clippers in the playoffs this year. He keeps

502
00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:51.640
<v Speaker 2>playing Tyler Lou. He tends to do that. Terry said

503
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:54.839
<v Speaker 2>Live the will play tomorrow. I think that Mexicanara said

504
00:32:54.880 --> 00:33:02.319
<v Speaker 2>Norm should be out tomorrow. Right. Uh No, Norm played

505
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:05.880
<v Speaker 2>the back to back against Cleveland and Orlando. He's already

506
00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:11.720
<v Speaker 2>played a back to back. That's not an issue. We'll

507
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:13.759
<v Speaker 2>take a quick time out. We'll come back. Clippers won

508
00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:18.759
<v Speaker 2>one fourteen to ninety one over the Dallas Mavericks. You're

509
00:33:18.799 --> 00:33:20.720
<v Speaker 2>it into a dome. I'm out of Mauslims and this

510
00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:22.720
<v Speaker 2>is Clippers sock here on the Patriot Ambulance fifty.

511
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:27.960
<v Speaker 1>This is the LA Clippers Audio Network.

512
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:29.960
<v Speaker 5>Best fans in best arena in the entire sport.

513
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:33.359
<v Speaker 1>Take us with you wherever you are on the IHEARTRADIOP.

514
00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:34.799
<v Speaker 3>Back to Clippers basketball.

515
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:38.839
<v Speaker 2>Clippers led by twenty three in the first half over

516
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:43.400
<v Speaker 2>the Dallas Mavericks, their third highest lead at the half,

517
00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:45.160
<v Speaker 2>and they would go on to win one fourteen to

518
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:48.440
<v Speaker 2>ninety one, led by as many as thirty five. Just

519
00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:54.160
<v Speaker 2>complete domination from the Clippers again tonight. Viza Zubats now

520
00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:59.079
<v Speaker 2>ten straight double doubles, which ties his ten game streak

521
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:01.599
<v Speaker 2>from earlier this season. That's a career high. So he

522
00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:04.920
<v Speaker 2>has a chance tomorrow to go for a new career

523
00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:09.280
<v Speaker 2>high of eleven straight games with the double double. I

524
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:12.320
<v Speaker 2>think we'll get there. I mean, he had nine boards

525
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:15.239
<v Speaker 2>in the first quarter that tied a career high for

526
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:19.440
<v Speaker 2>rebounds in the first Zoo has been dominant. Welcome back

527
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:22.880
<v Speaker 2>into clipperstock. I'm out of Maslin final segment here at

528
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:25.599
<v Speaker 2>into it Dome. How about Drew u Banks. He has

529
00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:30.199
<v Speaker 2>a Clippers high of twelve points. His Jazz HIDH this

530
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:33.639
<v Speaker 2>season was seventeen points. I just love the energy and

531
00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:38.239
<v Speaker 2>motor he played with and that's never really been a

532
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:42.480
<v Speaker 2>problem with him. The difference between him and Mobamba U

533
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Banks typically is always moving out there. The level of

534
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:52.519
<v Speaker 2>activity and motor that's never been questioned with him. Clippers

535
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:57.320
<v Speaker 2>ended up with forty four bench points Bogie twelve, u

536
00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Banks twelve. And again the Dallas Mavericks, they went four

537
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:06.519
<v Speaker 2>of twenty from three after starting zero of twelve. That's incredible.

538
00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:13.800
<v Speaker 2>But this Clippers team just continue to pour it on,

539
00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:17.519
<v Speaker 2>and I think it starts with their defense. Guys, like

540
00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:20.159
<v Speaker 2>their shot making was good, going fourteen to thirty from

541
00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:22.280
<v Speaker 2>the outside. Don't get me wrong, but they hold the

542
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:25.599
<v Speaker 2>Dallas Mavericks in ninety one points. They lead the league

543
00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:28.719
<v Speaker 2>in most games keeping an opponent under one hundred. This

544
00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:32.800
<v Speaker 2>was their twentieth game this season doing that. The defense

545
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:36.199
<v Speaker 2>has just been so dominant. But this Clippers ball club,

546
00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:45.199
<v Speaker 2>the offense has caught up to their defense. What up, Grantmona,

547
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:47.800
<v Speaker 2>see you tomorrow. I'll make sure it comes. Say Hi,

548
00:35:49.239 --> 00:35:55.840
<v Speaker 2>appreciate you. You're a star. Looks like a Bond villain. You know,

549
00:35:55.880 --> 00:36:02.159
<v Speaker 2>a good looking Bond villain. That's Grandmona. This Clippers team

550
00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:06.639
<v Speaker 2>with a good looking victory, just the type of win

551
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:08.960
<v Speaker 2>you need to get to have a chance for Kawhi

552
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:14.800
<v Speaker 2>to play tomorrow, and he'll be reevaluated. Probably better chance

553
00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:17.480
<v Speaker 2>than not that he plays how many minutes I don't know.

554
00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:22.880
<v Speaker 2>He was only at twenty three minutes and forty four

555
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:26.599
<v Speaker 2>seconds tonight. And then the Clippers have two days off

556
00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Sunday Monday, and then two games on or two days

557
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:37.320
<v Speaker 2>on Tuesday against San Antonio here, and then the regular

558
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:41.039
<v Speaker 2>season finaleed into it on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets.

559
00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:46.320
<v Speaker 2>You would assume that's the game Kawhi would play but

560
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:49.239
<v Speaker 2>if we have a breakthrough tomorrow with him playing a

561
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:52.559
<v Speaker 2>back to back, does he play San Antonio and Houston?

562
00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:54.760
<v Speaker 2>If he feels good coming out of the back to back?

563
00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:57.800
<v Speaker 2>A lot of unknowns how many minutes is he gonna

564
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:03.039
<v Speaker 2>be able to go the Clipper playoff modes activate. As

565
00:37:03.119 --> 00:37:09.559
<v Speaker 2>David says here in the chat, I'm not assuming anything

566
00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:13.159
<v Speaker 2>with Kawhi, but I think it's more likely than not

567
00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:19.480
<v Speaker 2>that he plays tomorrow. It just makes sense. He's been

568
00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:21.559
<v Speaker 2>wanting to play back to backs. He says, he's been

569
00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:26.440
<v Speaker 2>feeling really good. He just looked fantastic out there, and

570
00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:29.960
<v Speaker 2>you have two days off afterwards, and because Golden State

571
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:32.719
<v Speaker 2>won again tonight over Denver, you're trying to keep pace

572
00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:34.760
<v Speaker 2>with them. You still play them in the final game

573
00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:37.480
<v Speaker 2>of the regular season. You want that to mean something.

574
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:41.920
<v Speaker 2>You don't want Golden State to have it locked up

575
00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:47.480
<v Speaker 2>that they're outside of the play in. You're hoping the Clippers,

576
00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:52.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, aren't in that position where they already know

577
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:53.679
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna be in the play in, and that game

578
00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:56.599
<v Speaker 2>isn't meaningful. To do that, you gotta win ball games.

579
00:37:56.639 --> 00:38:00.199
<v Speaker 2>There's five games left. If they win all five, they're

580
00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:04.559
<v Speaker 2>in a playoff series against who we don't know, but

581
00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:09.280
<v Speaker 2>it's just the level of urgency has to be there,

582
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:12.679
<v Speaker 2>and we saw it tonight from this team fully locked

583
00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:15.159
<v Speaker 2>in against a Dallas team that's struggling, that was down

584
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:22.280
<v Speaker 2>many men. I like the professionalism and the business like

585
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:25.360
<v Speaker 2>approach from this Clipper squad that we've seen as they've

586
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:29.000
<v Speaker 2>won thirteen of their last sixteen games, and when bad

587
00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:31.559
<v Speaker 2>team have been put in front of them, they've handled

588
00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:34.440
<v Speaker 2>business as they should, led by as many as thirty

589
00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:38.119
<v Speaker 2>five win one, fourteen to ninety one over the Dallas Mavericks.

590
00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Here at into a dome where we'll be tomorrow, same
