The Clippers dropping one hundred and twenty three 25 00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:22.719 points on the number one defense since January first in 26 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:29.000 the Detroit Pistons. That's how you cleanse the palate. Now 27 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.439 we're feeling a little bit better right Clipernation needed that. 28 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.640 Great to see it. James Harden apology forms will be 29 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:43.719 handed out as you're leaving the arena. He was fourteen 30 00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:48.319 for his last fifty his last three games. He drops 31 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:52.239 fifty points in this one. Fourteen of twenty four from 32 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:58.239 the field, sixteen of twenty at the Charity stripe. Just incredible. 33 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.480 Most points obviously he has scored as a member of 34 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:06.040 the Clippers. Most points scored here and into it Dome. 35 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:10.560 This is the current scoring high here in this building. 36 00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:14.599 In his inaugural year, James Harden had fourteen of his 37 00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.919 fifty in the fourth quarter. Had twenty three points in 38 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.759 the first quarter to lead them, twenty eight points at 39 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:27.360 the half, another nine in that third quarter. I want 40 00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.199 to shout out the Clippers second unit though, and the 41 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:36.080 guys who didn't completely let go when James Harden went 42 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:41.599 to the bench. He plays the entire first quarter. He 43 00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:45.280 comes back in the second quarter, and I want to 44 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:53.400 say it's around the seven minute mark. It's at the 45 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:58.280 six forty three mark. He's almost out the first half 46 00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:02.560 of the second quarter, Clippers led by six. After he 47 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:06.240 left the ballgame, they led by five. By the time 48 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.199 he came back in at forty four to thirty nine. 49 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:18.120 Big Zoo held it down. A mere coffee bogie. I 50 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:24.680 believe Niko was out there, drew U Banks. Awesome. Awesome 51 00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:31.319 performance by the other guys who did not let the 52 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.840 Detroit Pistons back in when Harden went to the bench. 53 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:41.439 Same thing he plays the entire third quarter. After three 54 00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.719 the Clippers led by two. They closed the third quarter 55 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:54.840 with a hardened layup in and one. I believe, Uh, 56 00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:57.080 this wasn't right. It wasn't an and one. I don't think. 57 00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:05.080 Oh it was the technical foul on Isaiah Stewart. Clippers 58 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.919 went from down by one with eighteen point eight seconds 59 00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.680 left to end the third to being up by two. 60 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:17.360 Big big stretch right there. Coffee also hit a jumper. 61 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:23.040 Miller had to put back dunk during that stretch. So 62 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:28.920 they were able to outscore them seven to two in 63 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:34.759 the final minute twelve of the third quarter. But to 64 00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.399 have that two point lead. Knowing that James Harden won't 65 00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:41.800 be starting the fourth quarter, was big out there to 66 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:46.480 start the fourth Here was the crew, U Banks, Bogie, Emir, 67 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.720 Kobe Miller. Kobe Big put back on an a Mere 68 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:52.639 Coffee miss to put him up ninety three to eighty 69 00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:57.360 nine to start the fourth. Cade comes back and has 70 00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:02.720 a layup on a Mere. He did miss an open three. 71 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:06.879 Caid gets blocked on a layup by U Banks. Jordan 72 00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:08.839 Miller gets out, he's running, he gets fouled, but if 73 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.120 eats a Zubots comes back in at the ten thirty 74 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:15.639 nine mark. By the time James Harden comes back into 75 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:20.839 the ballgame in the fourth quarter, it was at the 76 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:25.319 seven to forty four mark. The Clippers trailed by two, 77 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:30.000 so they went minus four. Not terrible about the first 78 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:34.040 four and a half minutes of the fourth quarter without James. 79 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:40.600 He took him home fourteen points in the final seven 80 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:44.639 minutes and forty four seconds of the fourth quarter for James. 81 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.839 But there were some other big shots out there. I'm 82 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:54.040 talking about Bogie, a three pointer, Bogie, a fadeaway on 83 00:05:54.079 --> 00:06:01.519 the near side baseline. Big Zoo stayed in vague. That's 84 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:06.839 what we want to see and just you get them 85 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:08.439 however you take do you take them however you can 86 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.399 get them when it comes to victories. Right now, James 87 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.759 Harden's got to go out there and get fifty for 88 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:15.920 you to take down the Pistons, the hottest team in 89 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.959 the league. You do it. One twenty three to one 90 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:24.120 fifteen was your final quick time out.

I'm Ada Moslin. After 95 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:41.480 the Clippers somehow, some way have one of those gut 96 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:47.000 check victories where they are shorthanded and undermanned without Kawhi, 97 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:52.560 without Norm, without DJ, without Ben Simmons, they win once 98 00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:56.040 twenty three to one fifteen thanks to fifty from James Harden. 99 00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:01.360 You're listening to AMP five seventy LA Sports. I love 100 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:02.560 this team. I never miss a game. 101 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:06.920 You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball three ball, Yes, sir, 102 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.319 right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network. 103 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.920 Clippers get fifty from James Harden and win one twenty 104 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.560 three to one fifteen. Over the Detroit Pistons, back it 105 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:21.040 into a dome for the first time. And I don't know, 106 00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:23.240 two and a half weeks, three weeks, it's been a while, 107 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.519 it's been a long time. Big brother says, three weeks. 108 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.800 I believe him. Yo, one, twenty three to one fifteen 109 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:35.759 was your final great win, necessary win, some would say 110 00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:39.040 must win. There's twenty games left in the regular season. 111 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.879 But to get this performance against this Pistons team, with 112 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:45.720 the guys that were missing on the second night of 113 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:47.800 a back to back, after blowing a twenty three point 114 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:53.600 lead last night, special special win, Clipper Nation, and you 115 00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:55.480 showed up in a big way tonight here at into 116 00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:59.319 a dome. Give yourself some credit here. You help fuel 117 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:03.079 this team. There were times where it looks like the 118 00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.879 game was getting away from the Clippers. They were down 119 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:10.040 in the early third by four after a Thompson run 120 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:15.040 out sixty one to fifty seven. Bogie then hit a 121 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:18.120 three pointer that touched every part of the rim in 122 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:24.399 the back part, and I think the basketball God said, 123 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:29.439 we owe you one. We know you've been missing some gimmes. Bogee, 124 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:35.360 here you go the Clippers. I believe from that point 125 00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.240 on that was in the midst of them hitting nine 126 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:44.600 straight shots in the third quarter, not that the Pistons 127 00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.879 weren't hitting. Cad would get some free throws after that, 128 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:50.360 but then a Zoo push shot. Clippers are down one. 129 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:53.799 Kate to the rim for a bucket done to Zoo 130 00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:57.159 for a floater. Zuo picked up his third foul with 131 00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:01.039 the nine thirteen mark of the third and I got 132 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.320 a little bit concerned, but Coach Luke kept him in 133 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:07.320 smart move but Toom three. Now the Clippers are up 134 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:10.639 sixty seven to sixty six, but Malik Beasley hit a 135 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:13.480 three to answer. He's a forty four percent three point shooter. 136 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:19.399 Zoo tough layup sixty nine, all nice, done a three 137 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:23.120 off that Zoo feed. In the short roll, Clippers up 138 00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:28.159 by one. A Zoo layup, Clippers up by three, hard 139 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:32.679 and three Beasley layup. Clippers up seventy seven to seventy four. 140 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:38.559 Then a turnover and a Cad dunk. But that sequence 141 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:44.559 was huge for the Clippers, so they're down by one 142 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:48.399 at seventy seven to seventy six Pistons. After that, Clippers 143 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:53.399 turnover to a Caid runout, then Bogie left it for 144 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.000 Zoo on a great feed where he threw it back 145 00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:59.480 to him for an easy layup. Then Bogey has the 146 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:03.960 deflec on the other end, Clippers get the steal Bogee 147 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.320 no look past to done farside corner three eighty two 148 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:12.360 seventy six. Clippers. That was them making nine straight shots. 149 00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.440 That was the sequence right there that might have won 150 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:19.440 them the game. In some ways, that was just critical 151 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:23.960 because it looked like, oh, here come the Pistons. Tie 152 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:25.759 game of the half. They go up four quickly in 153 00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:30.200 the third quarter. Clippers showed a lot of poise and 154 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:34.320 then the end of the third quarter as well, after 155 00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:39.279 a nine to ozho Detroit run, Emir hits a jumper 156 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:43.399 to calm the waters. The Clippers are only down by 157 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:47.879 one at eighty seven to eighty six. Kobe Steele and 158 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.080 Jordan has the put back off the Kobe miss and 159 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:57.720 transition Stuart push shot. Pistons back up one defensive three 160 00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:00.519 seconds though on the Pistons, it's eighty nine to all. 161 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.440 Harden gets a layup before the quarter is over and 162 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.320 before he's out of the ballgame, so the Clippers are 163 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.120 up by two heading into the fourth at ninety one 164 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:12.399 to eighty nine, and then they held it down without him. 165 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:14.840 They got down by two by the time he came 166 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:18.559 back around the seven minute mark of the fourth quarter, 167 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:25.919 and from there Harden was cooking. Bogie was two. He 168 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:29.080 hit back to back threes. The first one put him 169 00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.600 to one hundred. Shout out Ralph Lawler first to one 170 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:36.159 hundred wins. Then Thompson had a turnover after Harden swiped 171 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.440 down at the basketball created it. Bogey hits another three. 172 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:43.320 Then Bogie draws the offensive foul. Clippers up one o 173 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:47.159 three to ninety nine. Harden dunk going to his left, 174 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:51.480 still got it said he went air force one mode 175 00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:55.000 with the Barack Obama and attendance, and maybe it was 176 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:56.799 a little bit of a shout out or a nod 177 00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.759 to Derek Jones Junior on his bibblehead night. His bibblehead 178 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:07.600 does have wings airplane mode, James Harden saying, Hey, since 179 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.720 you can't throw it down tonight, I'll do it. Eight oh. 180 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:15.000 Clippers run after that, Done has a steal on Cade, 181 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.000 then Done to Harden for a floater one oh seven 182 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.919 to ninety nine. Hardens at forty. Malik Beasley, he worried 183 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:24.879 me all night. He hit a three pointer to bring 184 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.519 it to one o seven to one o two. Doun 185 00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:30.639 hits a floater. Dennis hits a three hard and right 186 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:33.919 wing three one twelve to one o five. Dennis answers 187 00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:36.799 with a three that goes in and out and back in. 188 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:40.519 It's one twelve one oh eight. The Clippers were pushed 189 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:47.000 hardened layup gets him to forty five. Thompson a turnover 190 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:50.000 in the near side corner where he fell to the 191 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:55.960 ground was crucial. The Clippers ended up with I thought 192 00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.240 it was a bad ISO, but what can you say 193 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.279 about a guy who has fifty points. Harden went ISO 194 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.799 on Dennis the menace. Dennis Shrewder lost the ball out 195 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:08.200 of bounds. Clippers had it with two point two seconds 196 00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:10.159 left from the shot clock. They go to a beats 197 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:14.039 the Zoo bots. He gets fouled, fall on Duran, so 198 00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:17.720 the shot clock recess to fourteen. Harden ended up missing 199 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.639 a three, but Beasley missed on the other end fall 200 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:27.960 on Zoo underneath. But it was Caine fouling James Harden 201 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:29.879 and putting him at the line. This was a big 202 00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:32.759 foul for the Clippers to steady things a little bit. 203 00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:36.000 It was on the near sideline hit him in the 204 00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:39.639 face accidentally came over to him, asked James Harden if 205 00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:42.159 he was all right. I really really like Kate Cunningham. 206 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.559 He is a great young star in this league. I 207 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.080 was wrong. I thought Jalen Green would be better coming out. 208 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.440 Kay is better. Harden goes to the line. Clippers are 209 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:56.200 up by eight. Beasley misses bogey fade away. Clippers are 210 00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:00.320 up by ten. They hold on, They win one twenty 211 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:04.960 three to one fifteen. Let's go to Nick leaving the game. Nick, 212 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.759 you got thirty seconds here on Clippers Tuck, how you feeling? 213 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:12.840 Hey great, thank you for taking my call. I gotta 214 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:15.240 tell you, I think this is gonna be a springboard 215 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:17.759 for the Clippers tonight. You know it's a must win game. 216 00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:20.720 I agree with you, but the fact that like we 217 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.120 want it, let's use it as a springboard to go 218 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:27.080 up the Western Conference all the way up to maybe 219 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.600 the four or the three, or even catch the Lakers 220 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:34.159 at two. I think that the Pistons coming off the 221 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.360 extra rest and the Clippers coming off the road trip 222 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.879 with the back to back, it's crazy that we won tonight, Adam, 223 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:44.080 thank you, cousin, Armando and I had a great time 224 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.759 at the game. I'll take all your comments off the air. 225 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.159 Love you bye, Nack, appreciate you, Love you too, my guy. 226 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:55.639 Dive home safe. I like that A victory like that 227 00:14:56.279 --> 00:15:00.200 like this can rally, You can have legs, can have 228 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:05.799 carryover because this Pistons team, hottest team in the NBA, 229 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.120 best defense since January first. This is a great victory 230 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:12.840 by the Clippers. They responded after what happened last night. 231 00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:14.879 They ran through the tape. I'm telling you, I just 232 00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:16.919 went through some of the play by play late in 233 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.120 the game. They were pushed, they had to close, they 234 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:22.600 had to finish, They had to do what they couldn't 235 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:27.519 last night. And I think a lot of this is 236 00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:30.559 because they're back home, sleep in your own beds, feel 237 00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:34.600 good home cooking, the crowd behind you into a dome, 238 00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:38.039 home court advantage. They've been awesome here after losing their 239 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:40.879 first four. God they win eleven in a row. What 240 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:46.279 was it? But the crowd definitely helped carry them at times. 241 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.759 How far it's gonna win like this take them, We'll 242 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:51.519 find out which twenty games left in order to catch 243 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:56.399 a team like the Lakers or the Denver Nuggets, who 244 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:59.840 are seven games up on the Clippers and have the 245 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:04.519 eyebreakers against them. Those are lofty expectations. Can they catch 246 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.039 Golden State right now? Meaning can they get out of 247 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:12.080 the play in let's just start there. That's a team 248 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:14.519 they have the tiebreaker over their only game back of them. 249 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.519 They still have one more game against them. Uh, quickly, 250 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.159 Mike in La, Mike, you're on Clipper stop without a massle. 251 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:25.200 How do I couldn't agree with you more?

I'm outa Mosland Clippers went 296 00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:58.440 over the Pistons one twenty three to one fifteen, and 297 00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:01.079 you're listening to a five seventy LA Sports. 298 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.359 This is the LA Clippers Audio Network. 299 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.359 Best fans in best arena in the entire sport. 300 00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:11.519 Take us with you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio. 301 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:13.160 Back to Clippers basketball. 302 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.920 Dames Harden drops fifty tonight here and into a dome 303 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:21.319 when the Clippers win one twenty three to one fifteen 304 00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:24.920 over the Detroit Pistons. Welcome back into your postgame show. 305 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:31.000 I'm out of Moslin. Beautiful victory by your LA Clippers 306 00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:34.839 when they need it most. After losing six of their 307 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:37.240 first seven games out of the All Star Break, all 308 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:40.400 out on the road, and their first game back, you 309 00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:45.519 get a win like this over this Pistons team, with 310 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.920 the way they've been playing, they just beat the Clippers. 311 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:55.200 Hopefully this is the start of something. Got to be 312 00:19:55.279 --> 00:20:00.440 starting something. Hopefully Clippers only ten turnovers. I want to 313 00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.480 say they had seven or eight, and then only twelve 314 00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:05.200 the game before that. So they've been taking care of 315 00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:08.599 the basketball last three games, which is key. Guys, they 316 00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:11.079 have been in so many of these games that they 317 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:14.079 have lost as of late. You want to see the 318 00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:16.839 tide turn in their favor and be able to close 319 00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:20.000 out and have some cold three points shooting from the opposition. 320 00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:23.359 Finally it happened. Pistons were only eleven of thirty five. 321 00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:26.599 I want to say they were one for the first thirteen. 322 00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.559 It was bad, but they hit some threes late and 323 00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:35.519 the Clippers didn't get rattled this time. It wasn't like 324 00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:39.319 what we saw yesterday in Phoenix, where they made a 325 00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:43.480 push and the Clippers had no counter. Tonight, on the 326 00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:47.319 second night of a back to back, James Harden huge 327 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:53.079 counterpunches some Floyd Mayweather stuff. In thirty eight minutes, he 328 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:57.480 has fifty points on twenty four shots and sixteen free 329 00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:03.200 throws that were made most this season. Let's go most. 330 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:07.480 As a Clipper, I believe that may not be accurate. 331 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:09.599 I pride myself on accuracy. 332 00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:09.960 Here. 333 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:12.079 It's a season high in free throws made. I can 334 00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:16.880 tell you that much. Zubat six straight double double, his 335 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:21.079 fortieth this season. Man Zubas haters still in shambles two 336 00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:23.440 like you got can't get away from this guy, right, 337 00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:26.559 I mean he's just dunking, not just on the opposition 338 00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:29.880 but on you, like every night. And for those who 339 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.279 uh have listened to me and how much I think 340 00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:36.599 he should be involved, well you see the result when 341 00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:40.000 they play through zoom much more. He ended up taking 342 00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:42.599 twenty shots in this ball game. He had twenty two 343 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:47.640 and eleven and three assists. Let's go to Arthur in 344 00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:50.599 La Arthur, you got thirty seconds here on Clippers sock. 345 00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:51.039 What's up? 346 00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:57.759 Yes, I'm not in the politics, but yeah, but that 347 00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:02.640 was a bounce back win. And how long Ben Simmons 348 00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:03.319 gonna be out? 349 00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:07.240 We don't know. Ben Simmons is day to day. 350 00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:12.240 Oh okay, hey, thanks Adam. 351 00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:15.240 All right, Arthur, appreciate the phone call. Eight sixt six 352 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:17.920 nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number 353 00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:25.640 this Clippers team. I mean, I hope this cure is 354 00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:30.480 what ails them, because after what happened last night, I 355 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:34.599 was thinking to myself, they forgot how to win. Losing 356 00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.119 a twenty three point lead. They forgot how to win. 357 00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:44.319 They can't close multiple games during this losing streak, they 358 00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:46.160 couldn't close out They should have won a game up 359 00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:51.160 by thirteen against the Bucks, and I believe eleven times 360 00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:53.960 this season they have lost a game where they were 361 00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:57.039 up by ten or more. It's not good. Those are 362 00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:00.960 bad habits. They need to rid themselves of the immediately. 363 00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:05.799 Tonight step in the right direction because the Pistons pushed them, 364 00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:08.359 and the Clippers still outscored them in the fourth quarter 365 00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.640 thirty two to twenty six, and they answered every time 366 00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:16.440 the Pistons made a run. That's what's most impressive to me. 367 00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:21.720 They didn't, you know, have some minus twenty in five 368 00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:24.880 minute like performance. When James Harden was out of the game. 369 00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:27.960 They didn't fall apart at the seams just because he 370 00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:33.400 wasn't on the court. At times, they fought, they did 371 00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:38.079 what they could. I want to give everybody credit tonight. 372 00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:44.480 The bench included Emir Drew, you Banks, Jordan Miller, Kobe Brown. 373 00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:49.720 They gave them what they needed during those times when 374 00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:51.960 James Harden was out. And I really liked the way 375 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:55.559 Coach lou was staggering taking out of EASTA Zoobots earlier 376 00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:58.799 in the first quarter, earlier in the third quarter, getting 377 00:23:58.839 --> 00:24:01.319 him back earlier in the second, in the fourth quarter 378 00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:04.480 when James was still out so they could play through them. 379 00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:08.640 Really smart. Chris Dunn was looking for him a lot. 380 00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:13.440 Give coach Lou a ton of credit for everybody saying 381 00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:17.559 where's free TV? In the chat, where's that doomer? This 382 00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:20.240 team is quit on coach Lou. Do they look like 383 00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:25.759 they quit on coach Lou? Ooh? Kate Cunningham getting spicy 384 00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:30.160 post game. He was asked about how the Clippers were 385 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:33.000 able to pull away and beat the Pistons. He said, 386 00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:37.839 they got calls. Bickerstaff upset too, didn't like how James 387 00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:41.359 Harden was officiated tonight. This is a rarity for anybody 388 00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.480 to accuse the Clippers of getting calls. This is this 389 00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:48.920 is extremely rare. This is Haley's comment stuff, guys, Jamie 390 00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.000 Bickerstaff said postgame quote. If you're not allowed to put 391 00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:54.720 your body on him legally talking about James, he's allowed 392 00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:57.599 to shoot twenty free throws, you're not gonna be able 393 00:24:57.599 --> 00:25:05.559 to guard him. It just makes your job extremely to difficult. Wow. Well, 394 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:11.440 considering the bad whistle historically bad whistle that it seems 395 00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:18.039 like the Clippers have gotten throughout the existence of their franchise. 396 00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:23.640 You know, I got the world's smallest violin for anybody 397 00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:25.400 on the wrong side of the Clippers getting a good 398 00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:29.559 whistle for once. I ain't sweating it either. Come on, 399 00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:33.680 Clippers win one twenty three to one fifteen. James Harden 400 00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:42.480 has fifty. The Pistons are upset well, They're not used 401 00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:46.240
