Speaker 1: Phoning in.
Speaker 2: We're taking your calls on the LA Clippers right now
Speaker 2: this pace, Clippers Talk on.
Speaker 3: Aaron on Demand, the Clippers Show of Record.
Speaker 1: Your chance to react to everything.
Speaker 4: 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: free and postgame.
Speaker 4: At follow Adam a Adam Mosley.
Speaker 2: Clippers win one fourteen and ninety one over the Dallas
Speaker 2: Mavericks in game one of this two game back to
Speaker 2: back mini series. Here and into it home. Welcome back in.
Speaker 2: I'm Adam Oslins. It's Clippers stock for you here on
Speaker 2: the Patriot Am eleven fifty and on Clippers Talk on
Speaker 2: the YouTube side. Eight seven seven five to zero eleven
Speaker 2: fifty Eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty is
Speaker 2: the phone number. Clippers have won thirteen of their last
Speaker 2: sixteen games. They have been that good second in net
Speaker 2: rating over their last ten games to the Oak Almost
Speaker 2: City Thunder, whoever the best record in the league. Clippers
Speaker 2: defense was suffocating twenty a time this season. They have
Speaker 2: held the team under one hundred points. Their defense is special,
Speaker 2: especially with Kawhi back, and I mean not just back
Speaker 2: out on the court, but back back looking like Kawhi
Speaker 2: Leonard again. There were five lead changes in the first
Speaker 2: four minutes of this one, and then Kawhi really ramped
Speaker 2: up the defense and everybody else followed. That's what I
Speaker 2: saw out there. He also hit a mini in the
Speaker 2: first quarter after missing a couple of threes. Another one
Speaker 2: of the dotted line then hit a three pointer. He
Speaker 2: had nine points in the opening quarter, but the Clippers,
Speaker 2: after being tied at ten, went on an eleven to
Speaker 2: two run. Zubots had back to back buckets at one point,
Speaker 2: and the Dallas Mavericks, after hitting some shots early, went
Speaker 2: one for eight to end the first quarter, and the
Speaker 2: Clippers led twenty nine to sixteen. Second straight game they
Speaker 2: held a team to sixteen points in the first quarter.
Speaker 2: They were up twenty two to sixteen Wednesday on the
Speaker 2: Pelicans after the first twelve minutes. Clippers defense awesome, stellar
Speaker 2: and their offense very good to start things off. Dallas
Speaker 2: Mavericks are struggling. Maybe they get Anthony Davis back tomorrow.
Speaker 2: They could sure use them play. Thompson missed the second
Speaker 2: half of the ballgame due to illness. I mean, they
Speaker 2: were oh of five from three in the first quarter,
Speaker 2: they were oh of twelve from three, oh eleven on
Speaker 2: some box scores, oh of twelve on others. At the half,
Speaker 2: Clippers defense was good. Their offense was also very poor
Speaker 2: in this one. But the second quarter was interesting to
Speaker 2: me because what you had was Drew Eubanks in place
Speaker 2: of Ben Simmons, who should be playing tomorrow, managing his
Speaker 2: left knee, next to Kawhi, next to Batoum, next to
Speaker 2: Bogie and DJ. Typically it's Ben Simmons in there in
Speaker 2: that five man unit to start second and fourth quarters
Speaker 2: with Kawhi Leonard leading the second unit. Right away, Bogey
Speaker 2: hits a three. He's been on fire. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know what's saying anymore. He's he's been shooting
Speaker 2: I think, forty five percent from three going back his
Speaker 2: last fifteen plus games. Now another good night from beyond
Speaker 2: the arc. I expected him to be good. He's been that.
Speaker 2: Then some as a Clipper, he's been awesome. He had
Speaker 2: the best pass of the night, as Carlo pointed out
Speaker 2: that behind the back wrap around between two defenders two
Speaker 2: Drew u Banks for a right handed hammer in the
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. But back to the second quarter, Bogey hits
Speaker 2: a three. DJ Steele and dunk. Clippers are up thirty
Speaker 2: four to eighteen. I was watching Kawhi Leonard early in
Speaker 2: the second, got past PJ. Washington. I wanted to see
Speaker 2: that burst, but missed, missed a baseline fade away, missed
Speaker 2: a floater, so missed his first three shots of the second,
Speaker 2: then hit a three pointer as thirty seven or twenty.
Speaker 2: Clippers looked extremely active on defense. He's been like that
Speaker 2: for weeks now. Two way Kawi has been back. Norman
Speaker 2: hit a three pointer to put the Clippers up by twenty.
Speaker 2: At forty to twenty, Bogey was playing some good defense
Speaker 2: on PJ. Washington, who was trying to bully him on
Speaker 2: the block and it wasn't happening. But how about Drew
Speaker 2: Banks with a spinning layup to make it forty two
Speaker 2: to twenty Clippers, And then Kawhi had a nice fade
Speaker 2: away on the left elbow done went hit a baseline
Speaker 2: layup that made it forty six to twenty one, and
Speaker 2: the Dallas Mavericks scored what was it, I think, eleven
Speaker 2: points during a twelve minute stretch from the end of
Speaker 2: the first into the start of the second. The struggle
Speaker 2: was real, and the Clippers defense was as well, just
Speaker 2: locked down Alcatraz style. They were giving up nothing easy. Focused.
Speaker 2: It's not always easy to do against a lesser opponent,
Speaker 2: especially when you're hitting shots. Sometimes you give up some
Speaker 2: easy ones on the other end. But the Clippers look good.
Speaker 2: Zubot's right hand hook shot forty eight twenty three, another
Speaker 2: hook shot, fifty to thirty one. Clippers led it the
Speaker 2: half fifty eight to thirty five. I mentioned the Dallas
Speaker 2: Mavericks being zero of twelve from three at the half,
Speaker 2: which was unbelievable. Max Christy we hit a three pointer
Speaker 2: early in the third. They started to make a little
Speaker 2: bit of a run. They got it to within nineteen.
Speaker 2: Kawhi turn around, fade away. Kawhi another fade away in
Speaker 2: the third quarter. Nasty stuff from him. Clipper's got a
Speaker 2: twenty four second violation on Dallas. Something I did notice PJ. Washington.
Speaker 2: I don't know if he caught Kawhi with an elbow
Speaker 2: to the jaw or to the ear. It was away
Speaker 2: from the ball. Happened early in the third quarter. Kawhi
Speaker 2: was kind of shaking his head a little bit, stayed
Speaker 2: in the ballgame looked to be okay, and the big
Speaker 2: news is they're gonna reevaluate Kawhi to see if he's
Speaker 2: good to play tomorrow on a back to back for
Speaker 2: the first time this season. Hey, the Golden State Warriors
Speaker 2: aren't losing. They beat Denver tonight. Up next, they got
Speaker 2: the Houston Rockets, but they're beating good teams. They beat
Speaker 2: the Lakers last night. If you want to keep pace,
Speaker 2: I guess you got to have that sense of urgency.
Speaker 2: And Kawhi only ended up playing twenty four minutes. And
Speaker 2: if the doctors say he's a go, if he's healthy
Speaker 2: enough to do it, why not even if he only
Speaker 2: gives them twenty minutes For fifteen minutes tomorrow. I know
Speaker 2: a lot of you guys were asking for that. I
Speaker 2: was still operating under the abundance of caution, but coach
Speaker 2: lou said postgame. La Murray posted this afterwards, Kawhi Leonard
Speaker 2: will be reevaluated tomorrow so he could play on zero
Speaker 2: day's rest. Per tylu So some of you guys that
Speaker 2: were hoping if you played limited minutes in this game,
Speaker 2: which he did less than twenty four, it sounds like
Speaker 2: we'll find out at some point tomorrow if Kawhi in
Speaker 2: fact is available. Kawhi had some incredible defense on Caleb
Speaker 2: Martin also in the third quarter, just he couldn't shake him.
Speaker 2: He had nowhere to go. Then Kawhi had a steal
Speaker 2: in a layup in transition, and Drew Eubanks gets in
Speaker 2: the ball game and hit a floater over Kai Jones. Kai,
Speaker 2: by the way, had a couple of jumpers, like a
Speaker 2: one just straight up jump shot, another fallaway over Viacha Zoubots.
Speaker 2: He was showing off the bag a little bit against
Speaker 2: his former team in this one, but I think U
Speaker 2: Bank's got the best of them. I think this was
Speaker 2: U Banks's best game as a Clipper. Before the third
Speaker 2: quarter was over. Harden Wind a three pointer. Clippers are
Speaker 2: up twenty one to eighty one to sixty hitting into
Speaker 2: the fourth to start the fourth. I'm gonna look up
Speaker 2: these numbers tomorrow because I don't think they're calculated yet.
Speaker 2: I think Bogie is shooting some ridiculous numbers from three,
Speaker 2: especially in fourth quarters, because he had three three pointers
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter the other night against the Pelicans.
Speaker 2: He had three again tonight in the fourth quarter. He
Speaker 2: hit a three to start the fourth quarter, it's eighty
Speaker 2: four to sixty Clippers. Then Kawhi locked up Max Christie.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, Kawhi loves going at young guys and
Speaker 2: giving them their initiation to the league. Welcome to the NBA. Moment,
Speaker 2: Max Christie got it. He's been in the league for
Speaker 2: a couple of years now, but he's been playing more
Speaker 2: minutes and more is asked of him offensively now with Dallas,
Speaker 2: and he has shown a lot more in his game.
Speaker 2: Like I'm not complaining about Nico Harrison trying to get
Speaker 2: Max Christie away from the Lakers. That made sense to me.
Speaker 2: I still think they are about two first round picks
Speaker 2: short of an equal trade. Bogi had a nice pass
Speaker 2: to DJ underneath the rim for a dunk. I see
Speaker 2: other part of Bogdanovic's game. He's a good passer, he
Speaker 2: can run, pick and roll. He offers something different. Then
Speaker 2: DJ had to pass from Bogie above the arc, knock
Speaker 2: down to three, and the Clippers were up thirty. Their
Speaker 2: biggest lead was thirty five, but they were up thirty
Speaker 2: after that three from DJ at ninety two to sixty two.
Speaker 2: U Bank's layup Bogie another three, his third of the
Speaker 2: fourth U Bank's big right handed throwdown. Patty Mills gets
Speaker 2: in the game. Bogi goes behind the back, then between
Speaker 2: two defenders to U Banks for another right handed throwdoun.
Speaker 2: Nasty work. Cam Christy actually got into the ballgame, had
Speaker 2: a put back on a miss because the Clippers were
Speaker 2: up by as many as thirty five. U Banks block
Speaker 2: Kai Jones. Sky Jones got blocked by Drew U Banks.
Speaker 2: I don't know he was. He was on different times
Speaker 2: tonight than I had seen from Drew U Banks, and
Speaker 2: I like it tonight. The guys saw could get some
Speaker 2: playoff minutes depending on the matchup. Then you know they're
Speaker 2: big out there. Clippers, big victory one fourteen to ninety
Speaker 2: one over the Dallas Mavericks where Kawhi only plays twenty
Speaker 2: four minutes and it's going to be reevaluated in the
Speaker 2: morning to see if he's available for tomorrow's game, and
Speaker 2: you know Kawhi wants to play. Is up to the doctors.
Speaker 2: He played twenty three minutes and forty four seconds, technically
Speaker 2: eight of seventeen, twenty points, six boards, great defense. Clippers
Speaker 2: blow out the Dallas Mavericks, will take a quick time out.
Speaker 2: We'll come back more clipperstock live from into a Dome.
Speaker 2: I'm out of Maslin's and you're listening to the Patriot
Speaker 2: amleven fifteen.
Speaker 1: This is the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 5: Best fans in best arena in the entire sport.
Speaker 1: Take us with you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3: Back to Clippers basketball.
Speaker 2: Clippers win one, fourteen to ninety one over the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 2: You're at into a Dome. The Dome is home. I'm
Speaker 2: out of Moslin. Welcome back in. Shout out the wall.
Speaker 2: You guys did damage again. The Dallas Mavericks missed nine
Speaker 2: free throws. They went seventeen of twenty six at the
Speaker 2: charity stripe and shout out the Nico Batoom greater than
Speaker 2: Nico Harrison signed. Awesome to see. I'm still frustrated by
Speaker 2: that trade. I gotta be honest with you. I know
Speaker 2: this is Clippers stock, but they're taking on Dallas. Luca's
Speaker 2: not there anymore. Ad is not able to play this game.
Speaker 2: We'll see if he plays tomorrow. That trade is so baffling,
Speaker 2: like Luca could get hurt the next game, never play again.
Speaker 2: And it was still a bad trade because you didn't
Speaker 2: get equal value, and you helped out the Lakers, which
Speaker 2: is why I'm so bothered. I mean, I feel for
Speaker 2: Dallas Mavericks fans first. I feel for the rest of
Speaker 2: the league and especially the Clippers, who have dealt with
Speaker 2: Luca more than anyone after Mark Jackson. Kai Jones is
Speaker 2: a freak athlete who is trying to figure out the
Speaker 2: basketball side of it. Reminds me of stro Miles Swift.
Speaker 2: I have mentioned stro Miles Swift with Sky Jones, and
Speaker 2: I'm a fan of his, but yeah, he just doesn't
Speaker 2: have those natural basketball instincts. But man, he hit a
Speaker 2: fallaway in the second half of this one over viats
Speaker 2: the Zubats. He's gotten a green light in Dallas because
Speaker 2: of all the injuries. Danielle gafferd just came back, Derek
Speaker 2: Lively still out. Maybe he plays tomorrow, ad maybe he
Speaker 2: plays tomorrow. So he's gotten a ton of minutes to
Speaker 2: work through. You know, some of the kinks are some
Speaker 2: of the struggles out there. When you know you're getting
Speaker 2: a certain chunk of minutes, there's less pressure with every shot.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's tough for young guys when you know
Speaker 2: you're only getting five ten minutes every shot is so big,
Speaker 2: and guys are gripping when you know you're getting a
Speaker 2: solid amount of minutes, and guy Jones ended up with
Speaker 2: almost twenty three. In this game, you can play with
Speaker 2: a little bit more looseness to your game, calmness, and
Speaker 2: he looked like it. He wasn't looking over his shoulder
Speaker 2: like he's gonna get pulled if he takes a jump shot.
Speaker 2: But that's simply because the position Dallas is in versus
Speaker 2: where the Clippers were with him, and the expectations were
Speaker 2: a lot higher. But I'm still rooting for Sky Jones.
Speaker 2: I'm a fan, maybe because I gave him that nickname
Speaker 2: right before you had the game winning al up up
Speaker 2: in Seattle against Portland in the preseason. Yeah, Drew eu
Speaker 2: Banks played tonight because no Ben Simmons, and I thought
Speaker 2: he played well. Dre brought that up on the YouTube
Speaker 2: chat side. I think this was his best game, and
Speaker 2: I said that like midway through the third quarter. I
Speaker 2: was like, you know, I think Carlo and I were
Speaker 2: talking off air. This is low key Drew Eubanks the
Speaker 2: best he has looked. He looked really good tonight, level
Speaker 2: of competition factor, all those things in Yes, but there
Speaker 2: was some confidence from Drew eu Banks like he went
Speaker 2: six of seven with twelve and seven in seventeen minutes.
Speaker 2: He was a plus seventeen, a lot of sevens there.
Speaker 2: I was happy for him. I hope that carries over
Speaker 2: because he's a big body and you never know, depending
Speaker 2: on matchups in the playoffs, you might need them. Dave
Speaker 2: Richards said, Adam, who do you most want to see?
Speaker 2: First round? Between the Lakers, Rockets, Denver and Golden State
Speaker 2: Rockets easy, no disrespect. Rockets are good. They could win
Speaker 2: that series. There's an unknown factor there with how some
Speaker 2: of these young guys are gonna look in their first
Speaker 2: playoff action, how Jalen Green, Jabari Smith, Amen Thompson could
Speaker 2: look out there because they just haven't tasted playoff basketball
Speaker 2: before and that's scary. But I'd rather take the inexperience
Speaker 2: versus championship experience with Denver and Golden State and the
Speaker 2: Lakers with Lebron. Enzop said, I don't want to play
Speaker 2: Luca again. I think a lot of people feel like that.
Speaker 2: Chunk said, at this point, I think Lakers, grizz or
Speaker 2: Nuggets have a better chance of being in play in
Speaker 2: than t Wolves, or Warriors. If you look at the
Speaker 2: NBA standings after the Clippers victory tonight over Dallas and
Speaker 2: the Warriors winning over the Nuggets, and also the Rockets
Speaker 2: winning earlier over Oksee. So the Rockets remember ok See,
Speaker 2: they're the number one seed, that it's already locked up.
Speaker 2: That's over. The Rockets are thirteen and a half games
Speaker 2: behind them. I don't know, national media wise, they have
Speaker 2: not made a big enough deal about just how dominant
Speaker 2: Okac has been all season long. They might win sixty
Speaker 2: nine to seventy games, how many they got left. They're
Speaker 2: at sixty four and thirteen. Houston's behind them in the
Speaker 2: two spot at fifty one to twenty seven. They are
Speaker 2: three and a half games up on the Lakers, who
Speaker 2: are now in the three spot. They won over the Pelicans.
Speaker 2: They're forty seven and thirty. The Lakers are half game
Speaker 2: up on Denver, who lost to Golden State tonight. They're
Speaker 2: forty seven and thirty one. Golden State is forty six
Speaker 2: and thirty one in the five spot, behind Denver by
Speaker 2: a half game. Minnesota is in the sixth spot at
Speaker 2: forty five in thirty two. The Clippers are tied with
Speaker 2: them and with Memphis, and the Clippers are in front
Speaker 2: of Memphis due to the tiebreaker head to head, Clippers
Speaker 2: in the seventh spot in the playing currently Memphis in
Speaker 2: the eighth spot. That is Dallas at thirty eight and
Speaker 2: forty in the ninth spot and Sacramento at thirty seven
Speaker 2: and forty in the tenth spot. Phoenix is almost done,
Speaker 2: as they got waxed tonight by the Boston Celtics. I
Speaker 2: don't know if they're mathematically eliminated. I don't think they are.
Speaker 2: Two games back in Sacramento, but that is some of
Speaker 2: the most uninspiring basketball I've ever seen by a team
Speaker 2: that talented. I mean, they've gotten I think sixty games
Speaker 2: from KD and Booker this year. What is the issue?
Speaker 2: It should not be this bad. I mean, I know
Speaker 2: defensively they're not good. There's more to that story. So
Speaker 2: the Clippers are in a solid position where with five
Speaker 2: games left, if they win all five, they're guaranteed to
Speaker 2: be out of the plane. They running back tomorrow against Dallas,
Speaker 2: and Kawhi may play. He's gonna be reevaluated. See if
Speaker 2: he's good for a back to back sense of urgency.
Speaker 2: Now we don't know what doctors are gonna say about it.
Speaker 2: Kauhi has been willing to play back to backs. He's
Speaker 2: the players always want to play. He said after their
Speaker 2: last one Cleveland Orlando last weekend that he was good.
Speaker 2: But you can't push things. Some people in here are
Speaker 2: saying not worth it. Sit Kawhi like, if the doctors
Speaker 2: say he's good and it's limited minutes tomorrow A We're gonna trust,
Speaker 2: you know, bro Science or the doctors who have been
Speaker 2: evaluating the situation the entire time. But they say he's good,
Speaker 2: He's good. Maddix said, I think Hawhi is playing tomorrow
Speaker 2: him with They said, Denver Vans are turning on against Westbrook. Well,
Speaker 2: the Russell Westbrook experience has been on full display over
Speaker 2: the last week. Mark Jack said, dinwid he was blowing
Speaker 2: past Bogey, but Bogey is giving a ton of effort
Speaker 2: on defense, and he's smart. I'll tell you what PJ.
Speaker 2: Washington wasn't. He tried to bully him, back him down.
Speaker 2: Bogey stood his ground. Hotline bling is a good song
Speaker 2: and said Ad didn't want to ruin the perfect record?
Speaker 2: What perfect record? Dre said, Ad, you gonna play tomorrow
Speaker 2: for sure, Legend said Westbrook is destroying us even when
Speaker 2: he's not here. X Mamo project. He said kai Jones
Speaker 2: era felt so many years ago? Kind of did I mean?
Speaker 2: Kai Jones was their center to start the season. Remember
Speaker 2: Obamba was out their backup center. He had an opportunity.
Speaker 2: But his problem is just basketball instincts wise because he
Speaker 2: started playing at a later age. Track star always beats his
Speaker 2: man down the floor, triple jumper guy like well Chamberlain was.
Speaker 2: His problem is just positioning, knowing where to be every possession.
Speaker 2: But I hope he figures it out. And he's still
Speaker 2: young enough and he works hard. And if you listen
Speaker 2: to any the interviews, like I don't know how you
Speaker 2: couldn't be rooting for kai Jones. Kay Jones, I'm all
Speaker 2: in following his career. I still follow him on on
Speaker 2: the Instagram. The Graham Mark Jackson, I expect the Maps
Speaker 2: to try and get revenge tomorrow. Can't come out sleepwalking. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I expect the maps to be better. They're not gonna
Speaker 2: start zero of twelve from three tomorrow. Sim Max said,
Speaker 2: you Banks played well? Did U Banks? Lowke he cooked
Speaker 2: Dre's gaming said they must be focused tomorrow even more,
Speaker 2: especially starting out. Yeah, you're right. I thought they still
Speaker 2: started slow slightly, but Kawhi after the first time out
Speaker 2: looked really laser focused defensively, and I think it kind
Speaker 2: of energized the rest of the group. Kawhi is so
Speaker 2: underrated in how few possessions. I know he's defensive Player
Speaker 2: of the Year winner, but how few possessions he takes
Speaker 2: off with what is asked of him offensively, How few
Speaker 2: possessions he takes off on the defensive end. And that
Speaker 2: guy has so much pride defensively, it's just incredible, and
Speaker 2: he's bapped to playing at that high level now. But
Speaker 2: it was a ten to ten game, and then he
Speaker 2: got a shot to go, got to the free throw line.
Speaker 2: He scored seven straight for them from the five point
Speaker 2: fifty six mark of the first quarter to the four
Speaker 2: to twenty nine mark and now they're up seventeen to
Speaker 2: ten or four to forty one mark. Like he just
Speaker 2: took over and that's his offense. His defense was special
Speaker 2: during that stretch too, like it was Kawhi leading them.
Speaker 2: I thought James Harden really struggled early on. He had
Speaker 2: four turnovers in the first quarter, four of their five,
Speaker 2: and they were some real bad, sloppy miscues from James.
Speaker 2: It wasn't his best game. Thirteen points, four over eleven shooting,
Speaker 2: five assists of five turnovers, so he only had one
Speaker 2: after the first quarter. He cleaned it up as he
Speaker 2: typically does. He's had some bad quarters, some bad halves.
Speaker 2: Turn it around. Yeah, I'm sure Baldwin Juniors shot looked nice.
Speaker 2: He knocked down two three pointers in his three minutes late.
Speaker 2: I was watching this form going like, wow, is that
Speaker 2: Michael Porter Junior out there? Okay, okay, chill. Mark Jacks
Speaker 2: said they probably strategically sat Clay out in the second half,
Speaker 2: resting him for the next game. They said he was
Speaker 2: out with an illness. Max Christie started the second half. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Dre's talking about it. Baldwyn Junior's ball, he had a
Speaker 2: wet ball. He had some splash splash bros to him
Speaker 2: with those three pointers. It kind of clayish the shot now,
Speaker 2: it was just I don't know, I was a pretty shot.
Speaker 2: Mark Jack said, the MAVs are playing for positioning in
Speaker 2: the play in true, but the positioning is are they
Speaker 2: going to be ninth or tenth? Basically, are they going
Speaker 2: to get a home game because they can't catch the
Speaker 2: Clippers or Memphis Grizzlies or anybody else. They can't get
Speaker 2: into the seven eight. They're locked into the nine ten.
Speaker 2: I don't could Phoenix if they won out Dallas lost out,
Speaker 2: the Suns could probably catch them. But oh that's happening.
Speaker 2: Not with the way that Sons have been playing. We'll
Speaker 2: take a quick time out. Clippers win one fourteen to
Speaker 2: ninety one over the Dallas Mavericks. I'm Adam Moslin. We'll
Speaker 2: get your phone calls next here on the Patriot AM
Speaker 2: eleven fifty.
Speaker 1: This is the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 5: Best fans in best arena in the entire sport.
Speaker 1: Take us with you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3: Back to Clippers basketball.
Speaker 2: Clippers win one fourteen to ninety one over the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 2: I'll do it again tomorrow, right back here at into
Speaker 2: a dome seven thirty start pregame back here at six thirty.
Speaker 2: Daniel one more time h eight seven seven five two
Speaker 2: zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five to two zero
Speaker 2: eleven fifty. If you guys want to get on, do
Speaker 2: we get some zoo banks minutes? I think we did.
Speaker 2: Drew Eubanks showed me something tonight that he can be serviceable.
Speaker 2: I think he's he started off okay, had some down games.
Speaker 2: The last time we saw him, I think was against
Speaker 2: was it Orlando where he got pulled Yes, at the
Speaker 2: end of the first quarter after a bad turnover. They
Speaker 2: put Kawhi back in for him. Coach lou was not
Speaker 2: happy with this play in like a minute and a half.
Speaker 2: So let's hope he's got a little bit more confidence
Speaker 2: and an understanding of what they're asking of him, because
Speaker 2: I thought Drew Eubanks was really good in this game.
Speaker 2: Terry eighty six. Eighty six says Adam. I just want
Speaker 2: us to be out of the play in, but be
Speaker 2: healthy playoff LA season. What about Kobe Brown, I was
Speaker 2: underwhell by his minutes four of two from three. Did
Speaker 2: he take one at the end of the third quarter
Speaker 2: or the end of a shock lock? I just I've
Speaker 2: always felt like the idea of Kobe Brown was a
Speaker 2: lot of it was based off of him shooting forty
Speaker 2: six percent from three is last season at Missoo and
Speaker 2: being a jack of all trades but a decent three
Speaker 2: point shooter at this level. Is I think with any
Speaker 2: of him a guy who could bring the ball up, rebound,
Speaker 2: switched defensively onto multiple guys, and then also knock down
Speaker 2: the three ball here and there. Three ball is not translated,
Speaker 2: not at the NBA level, not at the g leigue level.
Speaker 2: And you know, he went from shooting like twenty five
Speaker 2: percent his first few years in college forty six percent.
Speaker 2: It was one year. Unfortunately. I'm rooting for him because
Speaker 2: I do think he has some nice reads here and
Speaker 2: there with his passing and his playmaking and the connector
Speaker 2: guy and is rebounding.
Speaker 3: But.
Speaker 2: They need him to be able to knock down shots
Speaker 2: from the outside. Mark Jagg talking about the Suns, Bradley
Speaker 2: Beal gets this huge contract whether he scores one or
Speaker 2: thirty points, that seems to be his attitude. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I've heard Suns fans be like, he just wants to
Speaker 2: play low expectations basketball. But I haven't watched enough games
Speaker 2: he has that no trade cause and maybe that was
Speaker 2: part of the issue going on with Phoenix because something
Speaker 2: does not smell right there. Who else we got? Easio said?
Speaker 2: Nico and Ben Legacy Game Tomorrow, death Stroke said, if
Speaker 2: you Banks can develop some playmaking and get stronger, he
Speaker 2: can get some minutes. I don't think they're looking for
Speaker 2: playmaking from him. I think what they're looking for is
Speaker 2: rent protection, rebounds and a few putbacks and you know,
Speaker 2: a few floaters here and there, just some easy big
Speaker 2: man offense, rim runs, finishing plays at the rim. Mueller said,
Speaker 2: I'm about to bet my mortgage on the Clips winning
Speaker 2: the Chip this year. Okay, good luck to you, sir.
Speaker 2: Marcel said, I'm also still frustrated with the trade. I
Speaker 2: was just thinking that today. That goes back to me
Speaker 2: talking about Nico Harrison. Yeah, it's every day for me.
Speaker 2: Dre said, yeah, Kawhi told Zu come up higher on
Speaker 2: the pick and roll. He was really locked in defensively. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Kawhi communicating out there. Well. Damien said, we'll be seven
Speaker 2: or eight in the play in. Unfortunately, if they went out,
Speaker 2: they won't be in the plan. Dre said, no team
Speaker 2: wants to play us. Mark Jaggs said, z you better
Speaker 2: get his rest tonight going up against eighty tomorrow. So
Speaker 2: Zoo ended up playing just twenty six minutes, now twenty seven.
Speaker 2: Chris dun was at twenty three. Harden, of course, still
Speaker 2: got to thirty minutes. Somehow, Norman Palell just under thirty,
Speaker 2: Kawhi just under twenty four bogey with twenty one, Derek
Speaker 2: Jones Junior with twenty three minutes. I liked his game.
Speaker 2: I love the versatility of Derreck Jones Junior. Whether coming
Speaker 2: off the bench or with the starters, you get real
Speaker 2: consistency from him. In a lot of different lineups and
Speaker 2: rotations out there. He remains the same. He's been very
Speaker 2: stable and consistent. Terry said Adam, those four teams don't
Speaker 2: want us as well. Yeah, nobody wants see the Clippers
Speaker 2: for sure, like nobody wants to see anybody in the West.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a bloodbath in the playoffs. Chunk said,
Speaker 2: we match up pretty perfectly with Golden State, though, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't hate their chances against Golden State. Kny the
Speaker 2: GM said Denver really lost against the Wolves and Golden State.
Speaker 2: Mark Jaggs said, if okay See rest guys, that might
Speaker 2: throw off their rhythm and momentum. Denver really lost to
Speaker 2: San Antonio, by the way, in between those two games,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Okaysee is so good with their perimeter defense,
Speaker 2: they don't have a lot to worry about. I think
Speaker 2: you know, it's their inexperience, Like are they going to
Speaker 2: play to their talent level? If they do, maybe nobody
Speaker 2: beats them and they're just that good and they got
Speaker 2: the MVP and Shay the kny GM said, it's ridiculous
Speaker 2: that the seventh and eighth seeds have more more than
Speaker 2: seven wins over the ninth and tenth and still have
Speaker 2: to play in the plan. I mean that's fair. The
Speaker 2: first year, remember of the play in, it was different.
Speaker 2: It was the COVID year. It was twenty twenty, and
Speaker 2: they said, you know, if team get within five games
Speaker 2: one another, they'll do it. I think it was Memphis
Speaker 2: in Portland and Portland just had to win one game
Speaker 2: to get out and Memphis would have to win two
Speaker 2: because they had the worst record. So it was a
Speaker 2: different format for the play and then and part of
Speaker 2: it was you had to be close enough in the standings.
Speaker 2: It's a good point, Kenny. We don't know if Lively
Speaker 2: is playing tomorrow yet, I'm just gonna assume he is.
Speaker 2: Dre said, got to go, you guys, have a good
Speaker 2: night with you for another ten minutes here, Maddick said,
Speaker 2: Adam BJ Matthews. For somehow it feels like he don't
Speaker 2: trust the Clippers in the playoffs this year. He keeps
Speaker 2: playing Tyler Lou. He tends to do that. Terry said
Speaker 2: Live the will play tomorrow. I think that Mexicanara said
Speaker 2: Norm should be out tomorrow. Right. Uh No, Norm played
Speaker 2: the back to back against Cleveland and Orlando. He's already
Speaker 2: played a back to back. That's not an issue. We'll
Speaker 2: take a quick time out. We'll come back. Clippers won
Speaker 2: one fourteen to ninety one over the Dallas Mavericks. You're
Speaker 2: it into a dome. I'm out of Mauslims and this
Speaker 2: is Clippers sock here on the Patriot Ambulance fifty.
Speaker 1: This is the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 5: Best fans in best arena in the entire sport.
Speaker 1: Take us with you wherever you are on the IHEARTRADIOP.
Speaker 3: Back to Clippers basketball.
Speaker 2: Clippers led by twenty three in the first half over
Speaker 2: the Dallas Mavericks, their third highest lead at the half,
Speaker 2: and they would go on to win one fourteen to
Speaker 2: ninety one, led by as many as thirty five. Just
Speaker 2: complete domination from the Clippers again tonight. Viza Zubats now
Speaker 2: ten straight double doubles, which ties his ten game streak
Speaker 2: from earlier this season. That's a career high. So he
Speaker 2: has a chance tomorrow to go for a new career
Speaker 2: high of eleven straight games with the double double. I
Speaker 2: think we'll get there. I mean, he had nine boards
Speaker 2: in the first quarter that tied a career high for
Speaker 2: rebounds in the first Zoo has been dominant. Welcome back
Speaker 2: into clipperstock. I'm out of Maslin final segment here at
Speaker 2: into it Dome. How about Drew u Banks. He has
Speaker 2: a Clippers high of twelve points. His Jazz HIDH this
Speaker 2: season was seventeen points. I just love the energy and
Speaker 2: motor he played with and that's never really been a
Speaker 2: problem with him. The difference between him and Mobamba U
Speaker 2: Banks typically is always moving out there. The level of
Speaker 2: activity and motor that's never been questioned with him. Clippers
Speaker 2: ended up with forty four bench points Bogie twelve, u
Speaker 2: Banks twelve. And again the Dallas Mavericks, they went four
Speaker 2: of twenty from three after starting zero of twelve. That's incredible.
Speaker 2: But this Clippers team just continue to pour it on,
Speaker 2: and I think it starts with their defense. Guys, like
Speaker 2: their shot making was good, going fourteen to thirty from
Speaker 2: the outside. Don't get me wrong, but they hold the
Speaker 2: Dallas Mavericks in ninety one points. They lead the league
Speaker 2: in most games keeping an opponent under one hundred. This
Speaker 2: was their twentieth game this season doing that. The defense
Speaker 2: has just been so dominant. But this Clippers ball club,
Speaker 2: the offense has caught up to their defense. What up, Grantmona,
Speaker 2: see you tomorrow. I'll make sure it comes. Say Hi,
Speaker 2: appreciate you. You're a star. Looks like a Bond villain. You know,
Speaker 2: a good looking Bond villain. That's Grandmona. This Clippers team
Speaker 2: with a good looking victory, just the type of win
Speaker 2: you need to get to have a chance for Kawhi
Speaker 2: to play tomorrow, and he'll be reevaluated. Probably better chance
Speaker 2: than not that he plays how many minutes I don't know.
Speaker 2: He was only at twenty three minutes and forty four
Speaker 2: seconds tonight. And then the Clippers have two days off
Speaker 2: Sunday Monday, and then two games on or two days
Speaker 2: on Tuesday against San Antonio here, and then the regular
Speaker 2: season finaleed into it on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets.
Speaker 2: You would assume that's the game Kawhi would play but
Speaker 2: if we have a breakthrough tomorrow with him playing a
Speaker 2: back to back, does he play San Antonio and Houston?
Speaker 2: If he feels good coming out of the back to back?
Speaker 2: A lot of unknowns how many minutes is he gonna
Speaker 2: be able to go the Clipper playoff modes activate. As
Speaker 2: David says here in the chat, I'm not assuming anything
Speaker 2: with Kawhi, but I think it's more likely than not
Speaker 2: that he plays tomorrow. It just makes sense. He's been
Speaker 2: wanting to play back to backs. He says, he's been
Speaker 2: feeling really good. He just looked fantastic out there, and
Speaker 2: you have two days off afterwards, and because Golden State
Speaker 2: won again tonight over Denver, you're trying to keep pace
Speaker 2: with them. You still play them in the final game
Speaker 2: of the regular season. You want that to mean something.
Speaker 2: You don't want Golden State to have it locked up
Speaker 2: that they're outside of the play in. You're hoping the Clippers,
Speaker 2: you know, aren't in that position where they already know
Speaker 2: they're gonna be in the play in, and that game
Speaker 2: isn't meaningful. To do that, you gotta win ball games.
Speaker 2: There's five games left. If they win all five, they're
Speaker 2: in a playoff series against who we don't know, but
Speaker 2: it's just the level of urgency has to be there,
Speaker 2: and we saw it tonight from this team fully locked
Speaker 2: in against a Dallas team that's struggling, that was down
Speaker 2: many men. I like the professionalism and the business like
Speaker 2: approach from this Clipper squad that we've seen as they've
Speaker 2: won thirteen of their last sixteen games, and when bad
Speaker 2: team have been put in front of them, they've handled
Speaker 2: business as they should, led by as many as thirty
Speaker 2: five win one, fourteen to ninety one over the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 2: Here at into a dome where we'll be tomorrow, same
Speaker 2: two teams. We run it back. We'll have your pregame
Speaker 2: show right here at six thirty. Before we get out
Speaker 2: of here. I do want to thank the Clippers organization.
