Speaker 1: Phoning in. We're taking your calls on the LA Clippers
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: Peace Peace, Clippers talk on Aaron on demand, the Clippers
Speaker 2: show up, record your chance to react to everything.
Speaker 1: Clippers Clippers news happens.
Speaker 3: Let me guess it's about Kawhi.
Speaker 1: Here we are and now here.
Speaker 2: He is the host of your LA Clippers pre and postgame.
Speaker 1: At follow Adam a Adam Osley. Clippers lose badly after winning
Speaker 1: nine straight here and into its home. They fall one
Speaker 1: o eight to eighty to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Welcome in.
Speaker 1: I'm Adam Oslin. This is Clipper Shop on an five
Speaker 1: to seventy LA Sports. Clipper dropped to fourteen and ten.
Speaker 1: Minnesota improves to eleven and ten. If you'd like to
Speaker 1: get on tonight, eight sixty six nine eighty seven two
Speaker 1: five seventy eight sixty six ninety seven two five seventy
Speaker 1: is the phone number. Can't imagine we're gonna have a
Speaker 1: ton of calls after this one. I don't want to
Speaker 1: say it's meaningless it's one of eighty two, but I
Speaker 1: will say this, it's not representative of who this Clippers
Speaker 1: team have been over the last two and a half weeks.
Speaker 1: They won eight of ten heading into this game, and
Speaker 1: maybe it was a little bit deflating after what happened
Speaker 1: last night. Terrence Man fractured his left middle finger. He'll
Speaker 1: be reevaluated in three weeks, and then you'll find out
Speaker 1: Norman pal is gonna be out managing that left hamstring injury.
Speaker 1: He's only played two games since he came back, and
Speaker 1: this is the second night of a back to back.
Speaker 1: KPJ is still out two and all this could just
Speaker 1: amount to a scheduled loss. Was it a very bad
Speaker 1: scheduled loss? Yes, could have been worse. They could have
Speaker 1: lost by forty one, but that's near here nor there.
Speaker 1: This is deflating to some, discouraging to some. Some are
Speaker 1: gonna say it's frustrating they didn't show up. I just
Speaker 1: think they ran into the wrong team at the wrong time,
Speaker 1: as Minnesota's playing great basketball and the Clippers didn't have
Speaker 1: enough firepower with them. And yeah, they came out flat.
Speaker 1: I didn't like the spirit or the energy they were
Speaker 1: playing with, but some of it was Give credit to
Speaker 1: the Minnesota timber Wolves. They were completely locked in antithesis
Speaker 1: of the Clippers, and their defense looks to be back.
Speaker 1: I told you. Before the season, I thought they'd still
Speaker 1: be a top five defensive team. Even if they're not
Speaker 1: the best defensive team like they were last season. They
Speaker 1: still have all the talent to be a top five
Speaker 1: defensive team. But they were seventh heading into this one,
Speaker 1: and after the Clippers were held to eighty points, just
Speaker 1: like they held the Lakers too in their last win
Speaker 1: on Monday, Minnesota might be back in the top five
Speaker 1: when it comes to defensive rating. So Clipper Nation rinse
Speaker 1: this one. Flush it, burn the tape, kill it with fire.
Speaker 1: Except for what we saw and what we saw from
Speaker 1: trent and Flat and Cam Christie, two young guys getting
Speaker 1: called up from the G League out of necessity because
Speaker 1: the Clippers just didn't have enough bodies and they got run.
Speaker 1: Cam Christy got run in the first half and he
Speaker 1: ended up getting a steal in a dunk for his
Speaker 1: first points as an NBA player. Trenton Flowers cotton alley
Speaker 1: oop in the fourth quarter, I believe from Bownes Highland
Speaker 1: for his first points as an NBA player. Congratulations for
Speaker 1: those two young guys. Much more to come that Trenton
Speaker 1: Flowers played pretty well. The guy was just an attack
Speaker 1: mode over and over again. Look at the yam and
Speaker 1: dunk on guys. You could see the spry, live body.
Speaker 1: The athleticism was on display. Went four of nine, nine
Speaker 1: points just attacking the rim, missed a couple of three pointers.
Speaker 1: He's been shooting well in the G League, but this
Speaker 1: was one of those nights where the Clippers just have
Speaker 1: to regroup and they have three days off to do so,
Speaker 1: get rejuvenate. You got the Houston Rockets Sunday night right
Speaker 1: back here at into a Dome, a team that beats
Speaker 1: you twice in Houston. Don't let this one linger. Don't
Speaker 1: dwell on this loss. This was someone expected from some
Speaker 1: considering how shorthanded the Clippers were to this degree. No,
Speaker 1: I didn't expect this. I thought they'd compete. I thought
Speaker 1: they'd played better. I thought they'd be able to get
Speaker 1: the ball to it beats the Zoobots more. They couldn't.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Carlo brought it up. Minnesota did a good job fronting him,
Speaker 1: and also the entry passes were pretty poor. I thought
Speaker 1: it beats the Zoobots in the first half, just got
Speaker 1: up three shots, was two of three. James Harden started
Speaker 1: zero of seven. Uh, why didn't you end up finishing
Speaker 1: it one for ten and one of six from three.
Speaker 1: You read that stat line where he also has more
Speaker 1: turnovers than assists four to three, and you can understand
Speaker 1: how this one got way out of hand, where at
Speaker 1: one point I was afraid the Clippers we're gonna set
Speaker 1: the franchise record for the worst loss. I was at
Speaker 1: that game they lost by fifty one back in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty during the twenty twenty one season, to the Dallas
Speaker 1: Mavericks at home. Did it amount to anything? Not really.
Speaker 1: They ended up beating Dallas in the first round and
Speaker 1: they went to the Western Conference Finals. It was one
Speaker 1: of a two nobody remembered that. I'm hoping we're not
Speaker 1: gonna remember this one as some game that has the
Speaker 1: Clippers spiraling out of control and heading towards a losing
Speaker 1: streak because of it. I don't think that's going to
Speaker 1: be the case. I expect them to play much better
Speaker 1: against the Houston Rockets on Sunday. We'll take a quick
Speaker 1: time out, we'll come back. Clippers fall by twenty eight
Speaker 1: hearing into it Dome, but the final score of one
Speaker 1: eight to eighty in favor of the Minnesota Timberwolves. I'm
Speaker 1: out of Mazas and you're listening to a five seven
Speaker 1: the LA Sports.
Speaker 2: It throws it up the window finishes in the fowl
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Slipper Nation. This is your home for the
Speaker 2: LA Clippers.
Speaker 1: LA Clippers.
Speaker 2: Take us with you on the Ihearts Radio WIP.
Speaker 1: This is a good quote post game after the Clippers
Speaker 1: lose by twenty eight to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Here and
Speaker 1: into it home, Tylu quote. Unlike Mike Malone, I'm flushing it.
Speaker 1: Mike Malone recently didn't want to flush a game after
Speaker 1: they got wiped out. I think by the New York
Speaker 1: Knicks the Denver Nuggets. Coach Lou is just burning the
Speaker 1: tape with this one, guys and moving on as I
Speaker 1: think the Clippers should, because I don't think there's a
Speaker 1: lot to learn from this one outside of they got
Speaker 1: some young talent in Trenton Flowers in cam Christy and
Speaker 1: this is interesting toront Lou had an interesting comparison and
Speaker 1: a comp for Trenton Flowers. He said, Sean Marian that's
Speaker 1: his ceiling of who he could be. I like hearing that.
Speaker 1: We'll take that chat. Welcome back in. This is Clippers stock.
Speaker 1: I'm out of Moslin. Appreciate you guys hanging with me
Speaker 1: on a night like this where the Clippers winning streak
Speaker 1: here and into a Dome nine straight comes to an end.
Speaker 1: They couldn't get to double digits, but still appreciate Clipper
Speaker 1: Nation in the house. The Clippers faithful, the wall, making
Speaker 1: noise late getting the Chick fil A. They got seven
Speaker 1: straight misses at one point in the fourth quarter by
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Timberwolves of the free throw line. That is impressive. Hey,
Speaker 1: Clippers may lost, the Wall remains undefeated. Daniel says, who
Speaker 1: hasn't looked good out there now for three straight games.
Speaker 1: Clip's gonna need him against the Rockets. I agree with this,
Speaker 1: whether it's Big Zoo not demanding the basketball enough, them
Speaker 1: not getting him involved enough, but I'm gonna say this,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it is just his touch
Speaker 1: around the basket hasn't been as sharp the last three games,
Speaker 1: first against Jokic, who's normally very good against, then last
Speaker 1: night against Ayton, who has been eating off the plate
Speaker 1: of a Viza Zubas for a little bit now, and
Speaker 1: then tonight the Clippers got blissed and ambushed early on
Speaker 1: and where it's such such a disadvantage. It kind of
Speaker 1: got them out of their offense. And I thought they
Speaker 1: did a good job Minnesota of just defending the Clippers option,
Speaker 1: and we thought they would go to a Viza Zoo
Speaker 1: bats early. But those post entry passes, when Zoo's being
Speaker 1: doubled in fronted, it's tough to make them. I think
Speaker 1: the Clippers could have been better in that area, and
Speaker 1: they had some really nasty turnovers, but it beats the zoobots.
Speaker 1: It's just a two pronged thing going on. They got
Speaker 1: to be better featuring him. He's got to be better
Speaker 1: making his shots. So it's never one thing, guys. David
Speaker 1: Holmes said, if we can rest and get a practice
Speaker 1: in to prep for Houston, that would be a real barometer.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Jane from North Carolina. Jean, you're on
Speaker 1: Clipper stock without a Maslin after they lose badly here
Speaker 1: at into a dome to the Minnesota timber Wolves.
Speaker 3: Higeney, what's going on? What up? Gene?
Speaker 1: What do you want to say?
Speaker 3: First of all, I want to tell you that I
Speaker 3: think you really should have kept your the intro that
Speaker 3: you had originally. I really like it seemed like it
Speaker 3: hit a little bit harder that at them all. You know,
Speaker 3: that's just my opinions, but I just wanted to say that.
Speaker 1: I'll talk to our promotions guy. We'll see if we
Speaker 1: can do right wrong.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just saying this is my opinion, but
Speaker 3: I did want to say like a couple of things
Speaker 3: as far as like what was going on with the team.
Speaker 3: I do know a lot of people don't like a
Speaker 3: lot of things, especially Okay, so first of all, MPJ,
Speaker 3: I do like the fact that this show. I think
Speaker 3: tonight this showed that having another person who can create juice.
Speaker 3: And if you compare MPJ to what Bones did out there,
Speaker 3: like MPJ though he does excuse me, K, yeah, my
Speaker 3: bad KBJ. Yeah, he does look to find people and
Speaker 3: then usually his shot is the last, the last, you know, option,
Speaker 3: whereas Bones usually looks for his shot first and then
Speaker 3: he looks for other people. He started to change it
Speaker 3: over a little bit as the game went along tonight,
Speaker 3: but usually when he hits the floor, that's the first
Speaker 3: thing he does looked at you, and that's usually that's
Speaker 3: probably the reason why he's not hitting the floors. Like
Speaker 3: he really doesn't get it. Puts his defensive his defensive
Speaker 3: deficiencies that we know he has.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that point, Gene. I think you're actually
Speaker 1: spot on. I think that's part of the problem. KPg
Speaker 1: is just a bigger body out there. He's a better athlete.
Speaker 1: He can defend, he can rebound a little bit more,
Speaker 1: and Bones does look for his shot a lot. He's
Speaker 1: hunting for an off the bounds three point shot, and
Speaker 1: I'll give him credit to a degree. He went five
Speaker 1: of ten from the outside and he ended up leading
Speaker 1: them with eighteen points. But a lot of that was
Speaker 1: during inconsequential time because by the time he came into
Speaker 1: the ballgame, the clips were down by twenty. But that's
Speaker 1: who Bones Island is. He is a score first, back
Speaker 1: up point guard, I think in this league, and I
Speaker 1: think he's a legit NBA player that could average fifteen
Speaker 1: a night off the bench in the right situation. But
Speaker 1: it's not happening right now with this Clippers team. However,
Speaker 1: they could use him moving forward. Gene, I appreciate the
Speaker 1: phone call. We'll see what develops with Bones Highland over
Speaker 1: this stretch. With Terrence Man out, We'll see how much
Speaker 1: longer KPJ is going to be out because they have
Speaker 1: looked like they obviously need another creator out there. So
Speaker 1: if KPJ is still out, we know Terrence Man is
Speaker 1: going to be reevaluated in three weeks. We got that
Speaker 1: from Law Murray earlier and he joined me on the
Speaker 1: pregame show. So they need somebody, and I hope bones
Speaker 1: Hyland can kind of shoot himself out of the slump
Speaker 1: he's been in, but also just find a rhythm out
Speaker 1: there in the flow of the offense, so he's not
Speaker 1: just shot hunting, and he's trying to get others involved
Speaker 1: because he is a good passer. There are times where
Speaker 1: this is somebody that can run the high, pick and roll.
Speaker 1: He can find his big man, he can make the
Speaker 1: game easier for others. But right now probably leaning a
Speaker 1: little too far into just looking to score out there.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens on Sunday night. We'll take a
Speaker 1: quick quick time out here on Clippers Talk. We'll come
Speaker 1: back after the Clippers lose one o eight to eighty.
Speaker 1: Hear it into its to the Minnesota Timberwolves. I'm out
Speaker 1: of Maslind and you're listening to a five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 2: He throws it up goin no finishes in the foul
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Slipper Nation. This is your home for the
Speaker 2: LA Clippers. LA Clippers, take us with you on the
Speaker 2: Ihearts Radio.
Speaker 1: AIP Clippers faull by twenty eight here and into it zone.
Speaker 1: The fortress was finally breached after they had one nine
Speaker 1: straight here in their new and first home. Welcome back
Speaker 1: in I'm out of maslind This is Clippers talk. Eight
Speaker 1: six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six
Speaker 1: six ninety eight seven two five seventy. Really the game
Speaker 1: was over after Minnesota had a thirty five to seven
Speaker 1: run during a nine minute stretch between the first and
Speaker 1: the second quarter. Clippers couldn't get anything to go on
Speaker 1: one end, couldn't get stops on the other end. It
Speaker 1: was a hard watch. I understand it might be down
Speaker 1: this one Clipper Nation, but look a big picture. This
Speaker 1: team is fourteen and ten, with having one of the
Speaker 1: toughest schedules, with having already played guys, half of their
Speaker 1: games have been in a back to back scenario. Twelve
Speaker 1: of their twenty four games have either been a game
Speaker 1: on the front end of a back to back or
Speaker 1: the second game of a back to back. Half their
Speaker 1: games have been within the parameters of a back to
Speaker 1: back so far. Has anybody else had that in the NBA? Somehow?
Speaker 1: I doubt it. But the Clippers score season low eighty
Speaker 1: points in the game. Bones Highland did have a season
Speaker 1: high with eighteen. He was the leading score for the
Speaker 1: Clippers tonight. Julius Randall had sixteen of his twenty points
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, by the way, and was hitting everything.
Speaker 1: He hit four three pointers in the first quarter, I
Speaker 1: want to say. And the Minnesota Timberwolves came out hot,
Speaker 1: ready to go, focused, and they made it three wins
Speaker 1: in a row, and all three over teams from LA.
Speaker 1: They just held both LA teams to eighty points in
Speaker 1: back to back games. Monday against the Lakers, they held
Speaker 1: them to eighty Tonight against the Clippers in LA. They
Speaker 1: hold your Los Angeles Clippers to eighty points. But I'm
Speaker 1: just not gonna overreact to something like this. I can't.
Speaker 1: We've had too much evidence that this Clippers team, that
Speaker 1: this performance is not indicative of who they are as
Speaker 1: a squad. This is not who they are. Do they
Speaker 1: have to prove it to you again? Okay, Well, they
Speaker 1: got a big one coming up Sunday night. Against the
Speaker 1: Houston Rockets, who have gotten the best of them twice.
Speaker 1: And Houston's playing like best team of the West. They've
Speaker 1: looked that good so far this season. But right behind
Speaker 1: Oka see in the standings. They got the number two seed.
Speaker 1: They got a bunch of young athletic guys as they
Speaker 1: give the Clippers a lot of problems. They pose a
Speaker 1: lot of problems to this Clippers team. I just want
Speaker 1: to see a higher level of energy, effort and a
Speaker 1: better spear being played without there by the Clippers. That
Speaker 1: competitive integrity has to be intact, and I think it
Speaker 1: will be. Coach lu said postgame, we're flushing it. They're
Speaker 1: not gonna dwell on this. They're not gonna try to
Speaker 1: figure out what went wrong in a game like this.
Speaker 1: It's pretty understandable. It's pretty explainable. Clippers were missing three
Speaker 1: key guys. Second, I have a back to back, played
Speaker 1: twenty one games last thirty six days. The tank was empty.
Speaker 1: But they're gonna refuel over the next three days. They're
Speaker 1: gonna recharge, They're gonna regroup and be rejuvenated. I fully
Speaker 1: believe there's gonna be a great effort here against Houston
Speaker 1: on Sunday, night. I'm not overly concerned by this. It's
Speaker 1: an aberration, it's an outlier game. There's not a lot
Speaker 1: you can put into losses like this when you've seen
Speaker 1: so much to contradict how the Clippers team has played. Tonight,
Speaker 1: Daniel said, it's obvious Bones has talent, but I feel
Speaker 1: his time in LA is done. Unless Clips have continuous injuries.
Speaker 1: He's not getting run well. It turns out they do
Speaker 1: at the moment. If KPg is not back on Friday,
Speaker 1: or excuse me, on Sunday night against Houston, I expect
Speaker 1: Bones to play again at least knocked down five to
Speaker 1: three pointers. I think all of them came off the bounce.
Speaker 1: It's not easy, but coach Lou wants a playmaker and
Speaker 1: a shock creader out there because they've had some real
Speaker 1: les offensively without those guys. And maybe you are seeing
Speaker 1: a case being built for why KPJ is so important
Speaker 1: to this team right now. Without him, it's just hard
Speaker 1: for them to get into their offense to initiate stuff.
Speaker 1: And I'm hoping Bones can shake out the cobwebs a
Speaker 1: little bit tonight with this performance and just getting to
Speaker 1: play heavier minutes, and there is a better bones Highland
Speaker 1: a version of him coming on Sunday night, should he
Speaker 1: get minutes against the Houston Rockets, and one more time
Speaker 1: before we get out of here. Congrats to Cam Christy
Speaker 1: and Trenton Flowers. Welcome to the league. They both get
Speaker 1: their first points as a player in the national as
Speaker 1: players in the National Basketball Association. Clippers lose though final
Speaker 1: score one eight to eighty. Hear it into it Dome
Speaker 1: to the Minnesota Timberwolves before we get out of here.
Speaker 1: I do you want to thank the Clippers organization? Ralph Lawler,
Speaker 1: Brian Semen, No what ego? Carlohman is on the call,
Speaker 1: Our leads statistician tonight, Chris Taylor, our head engineer, big brother,
Speaker 1: Jake Warner, Dennis Degastino, we missed you and if I
Speaker 1: had a better stat tonight, we would have the Dennis
Speaker 1: Degastino stat of the night. But unfortunately there's a lot
Speaker 1: of low lights for the Slippers team. But believe me,
Speaker 1: if there's one thing we know about this squad is
Speaker 1: that they have a great ability to bounce back. Coach
Speaker 1: Lou knows how to get the men in black, neuralizer
Speaker 1: out there or whatever it is to wipe the memory.
Speaker 1: They're the mechanism. Turn the page and move forward and
Speaker 1: they'll be ready Sunday night against the Houston Rockets. A
Speaker 1: big thanks goes out to callin ye see Easy, our
Speaker 1: producer of the last couple of games. We don't deserve them,
Speaker 1: but we were happy to have him call and thank you.
Speaker 1: Until Sunday night with the Clippers tipping off against the
Speaker 1: Houston Rockets. Right back, you're into it Dome at six pm.
Speaker 1: I'm your pregame show. Starting at five, I'm at a Maazam.
Speaker 1: We will talk to you then sodas you see, then
Speaker 1: this guy will it's Fain
