5
00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Clippers Clippers news happens.

6
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:15.679
<v Speaker 3>Let me guess it's about Kawhi.

<v Speaker 1>Here we are and now here.

8
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:21.239
<v Speaker 2>He is the host of your LA Clippers pre and postgame.

9
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:30.679
<v Speaker 1>At follow Adam a Adam Osley. Clippers lose badly after winning

10
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:32.600
<v Speaker 1>nine straight here and into its home. They fall one

11
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:36.880
<v Speaker 1>o eight to eighty to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Welcome in.

12
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm Adam Oslin. This is Clipper Shop on an five

13
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.880
<v Speaker 1>to seventy LA Sports. Clipper dropped to fourteen and ten.

14
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota improves to eleven and ten. If you'd like to

15
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:48.479
<v Speaker 1>get on tonight, eight sixty six nine eighty seven two

16
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:51.039
<v Speaker 1>five seventy eight sixty six ninety seven two five seventy

17
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.399
<v Speaker 1>is the phone number. Can't imagine we're gonna have a

18
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>ton of calls after this one. I don't want to

19
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:01.799
<v Speaker 1>say it's meaningless it's one of eighty two, but I

20
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>will say this, it's not representative of who this Clippers

21
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>team have been over the last two and a half weeks.

22
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.799
<v Speaker 1>They won eight of ten heading into this game, and

23
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:15.519
<v Speaker 1>maybe it was a little bit deflating after what happened

24
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:22.680
<v Speaker 1>last night. Terrence Man fractured his left middle finger. He'll

25
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>be reevaluated in three weeks, and then you'll find out

26
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Norman pal is gonna be out managing that left hamstring injury.

27
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:32.959
<v Speaker 1>He's only played two games since he came back, and

28
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 1>this is the second night of a back to back.

29
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 1>KPJ is still out two and all this could just

30
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>amount to a scheduled loss. Was it a very bad

31
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>scheduled loss? Yes, could have been worse. They could have

32
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.879
<v Speaker 1>lost by forty one, but that's near here nor there.

33
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 1>This is deflating to some, discouraging to some. Some are

34
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:00.159
<v Speaker 1>gonna say it's frustrating they didn't show up. I just

35
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>think they ran into the wrong team at the wrong time,

36
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.599
<v Speaker 1>as Minnesota's playing great basketball and the Clippers didn't have

37
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.319
<v Speaker 1>enough firepower with them. And yeah, they came out flat.

38
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I didn't like the spirit or the energy they were

39
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.159
<v Speaker 1>playing with, but some of it was Give credit to

40
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the Minnesota timber Wolves. They were completely locked in antithesis

41
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>of the Clippers, and their defense looks to be back.

42
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.039
<v Speaker 1>I told you. Before the season, I thought they'd still

43
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>be a top five defensive team. Even if they're not

44
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.879
<v Speaker 1>the best defensive team like they were last season. They

45
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>still have all the talent to be a top five

46
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>defensive team. But they were seventh heading into this one,

47
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and after the Clippers were held to eighty points, just

48
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:39.879
<v Speaker 1>like they held the Lakers too in their last win

49
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 1>on Monday, Minnesota might be back in the top five

50
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to defensive rating. So Clipper Nation rinse

51
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>this one. Flush it, burn the tape, kill it with fire.

52
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Except for what we saw and what we saw from

53
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>trent and Flat and Cam Christie, two young guys getting

54
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 1>called up from the G League out of necessity because

55
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.719
<v Speaker 1>the Clippers just didn't have enough bodies and they got run.

56
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Cam Christy got run in the first half and he

57
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 1>ended up getting a steal in a dunk for his

58
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:20.639
<v Speaker 1>first points as an NBA player. Trenton Flowers cotton alley

59
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.360
<v Speaker 1>oop in the fourth quarter, I believe from Bownes Highland

60
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>for his first points as an NBA player. Congratulations for

61
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>those two young guys. Much more to come that Trenton

62
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.479
<v Speaker 1>Flowers played pretty well. The guy was just an attack

63
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>mode over and over again. Look at the yam and

64
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 1>dunk on guys. You could see the spry, live body.

65
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 1>The athleticism was on display. Went four of nine, nine

66
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>points just attacking the rim, missed a couple of three pointers.

67
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>He's been shooting well in the G League, but this

68
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.879
<v Speaker 1>was one of those nights where the Clippers just have

69
00:03:57.919 --> 00:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>to regroup and they have three days off to do so,

70
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:08.039
<v Speaker 1>get rejuvenate. You got the Houston Rockets Sunday night right

71
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>back here at into a Dome, a team that beats

72
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 1>you twice in Houston. Don't let this one linger. Don't

73
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>dwell on this loss. This was someone expected from some

74
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:23.879
<v Speaker 1>considering how shorthanded the Clippers were to this degree. No,

75
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't expect this. I thought they'd compete. I thought

76
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>they'd played better. I thought they'd be able to get

77
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.279
<v Speaker 1>the ball to it beats the Zoobots more. They couldn't.

78
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

79
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Carlo brought it up. Minnesota did a good job fronting him,

80
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.480
<v Speaker 1>and also the entry passes were pretty poor. I thought

81
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.040
<v Speaker 1>it beats the Zoobots in the first half, just got

82
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.759
<v Speaker 1>up three shots, was two of three. James Harden started

83
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 1>zero of seven. Uh, why didn't you end up finishing

84
00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>it one for ten and one of six from three.

85
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>You read that stat line where he also has more

86
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:03.839
<v Speaker 1>turnovers than assists four to three, and you can understand

87
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>how this one got way out of hand, where at

88
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:11.000
<v Speaker 1>one point I was afraid the Clippers we're gonna set

89
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.959
<v Speaker 1>the franchise record for the worst loss. I was at

90
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 1>that game they lost by fifty one back in twenty

91
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 1>twenty during the twenty twenty one season, to the Dallas

92
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.959
<v Speaker 1>Mavericks at home. Did it amount to anything? Not really.

93
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:25.360
<v Speaker 1>They ended up beating Dallas in the first round and

94
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.199
<v Speaker 1>they went to the Western Conference Finals. It was one

95
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:33.439
<v Speaker 1>of a two nobody remembered that. I'm hoping we're not

96
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna remember this one as some game that has the

97
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Clippers spiraling out of control and heading towards a losing

98
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:43.720
<v Speaker 1>streak because of it. I don't think that's going to

99
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.399
<v Speaker 1>be the case. I expect them to play much better

100
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.439
<v Speaker 1>against the Houston Rockets on Sunday. We'll take a quick

101
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 1>time out, we'll come back. Clippers fall by twenty eight

102
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>hearing into it Dome, but the final score of one

103
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:02.920
<v Speaker 1>eight to eighty in favor of the Minnesota Timberwolves. I'm

104
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.040
<v Speaker 1>out of Mazas and you're listening to a five seven

105
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 1>the LA Sports.

106
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.240
<v Speaker 2>It throws it up the window finishes in the fowl

107
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles Slipper Nation. This is your home for the

108
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:16.480
<v Speaker 2>LA Clippers.

109
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 1>LA Clippers.

110
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Take us with you on the Ihearts Radio WIP.

111
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:29.759
<v Speaker 1>This is a good quote post game after the Clippers

112
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.600
<v Speaker 1>lose by twenty eight to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Here and

113
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:38.959
<v Speaker 1>into it home, Tylu quote. Unlike Mike Malone, I'm flushing it.

114
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.959
<v Speaker 1>Mike Malone recently didn't want to flush a game after

115
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:46.800
<v Speaker 1>they got wiped out. I think by the New York

116
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Knicks the Denver Nuggets. Coach Lou is just burning the

117
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.959
<v Speaker 1>tape with this one, guys and moving on as I

118
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:56.360
<v Speaker 1>think the Clippers should, because I don't think there's a

119
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.600
<v Speaker 1>lot to learn from this one outside of they got

120
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 1>some young talent in Trenton Flowers in cam Christy and

121
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>this is interesting toront Lou had an interesting comparison and

122
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:18.959
<v Speaker 1>a comp for Trenton Flowers. He said, Sean Marian that's

123
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:23.639
<v Speaker 1>his ceiling of who he could be. I like hearing that.

124
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.680
<v Speaker 1>We'll take that chat. Welcome back in. This is Clippers stock.

125
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:31.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm out of Moslin. Appreciate you guys hanging with me

126
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.519
<v Speaker 1>on a night like this where the Clippers winning streak

127
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>here and into a Dome nine straight comes to an end.

128
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:40.720
<v Speaker 1>They couldn't get to double digits, but still appreciate Clipper

129
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:43.399
<v Speaker 1>Nation in the house. The Clippers faithful, the wall, making

130
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:46.759
<v Speaker 1>noise late getting the Chick fil A. They got seven

131
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.600
<v Speaker 1>straight misses at one point in the fourth quarter by

132
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:53.439
<v Speaker 1>the Minnesota Timberwolves of the free throw line. That is impressive. Hey,

133
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Clippers may lost, the Wall remains undefeated. Daniel says, who

134
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>hasn't looked good out there now for three straight games.

135
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Clip's gonna need him against the Rockets. I agree with this,

136
00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:10.879
<v Speaker 1>whether it's Big Zoo not demanding the basketball enough, them

137
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>not getting him involved enough, but I'm gonna say this,

138
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:16.519
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of it is just his touch

139
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:19.319
<v Speaker 1>around the basket hasn't been as sharp the last three games,

140
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:23.160
<v Speaker 1>first against Jokic, who's normally very good against, then last

141
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>night against Ayton, who has been eating off the plate

142
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>of a Viza Zubas for a little bit now, and

143
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:33.840
<v Speaker 1>then tonight the Clippers got blissed and ambushed early on

144
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.080
<v Speaker 1>and where it's such such a disadvantage. It kind of

145
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:42.480
<v Speaker 1>got them out of their offense. And I thought they

146
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>did a good job Minnesota of just defending the Clippers option,

147
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:49.360
<v Speaker 1>and we thought they would go to a Viza Zoo

148
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:53.480
<v Speaker 1>bats early. But those post entry passes, when Zoo's being

149
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.399
<v Speaker 1>doubled in fronted, it's tough to make them. I think

150
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.279
<v Speaker 1>the Clippers could have been better in that area, and

151
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:03.480
<v Speaker 1>they had some really nasty turnovers, but it beats the zoobots.

152
00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 1>It's just a two pronged thing going on. They got

153
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>to be better featuring him. He's got to be better

154
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:17.279
<v Speaker 1>making his shots. So it's never one thing, guys. David

155
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:19.399
<v Speaker 1>Holmes said, if we can rest and get a practice

156
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:22.759
<v Speaker 1>in to prep for Houston, that would be a real barometer.

157
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Jane from North Carolina. Jean, you're on

158
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Clipper stock without a Maslin after they lose badly here

159
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>at into a dome to the Minnesota timber Wolves.

160
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:36.399
<v Speaker 3>Higeney, what's going on? What up? Gene?

161
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>What do you want to say?

162
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:42.960
<v Speaker 3>First of all, I want to tell you that I

163
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.879
<v Speaker 3>think you really should have kept your the intro that

164
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:49.480
<v Speaker 3>you had originally. I really like it seemed like it

165
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:53.120
<v Speaker 3>hit a little bit harder that at them all. You know,

166
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:56.000
<v Speaker 3>that's just my opinions, but I just wanted to say that.

167
00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll talk to our promotions guy. We'll see if we

168
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:00.480
<v Speaker 1>can do right wrong.

169
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was just saying this is my opinion, but

170
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.200
<v Speaker 3>I did want to say like a couple of things

171
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.519
<v Speaker 3>as far as like what was going on with the team.

172
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:13.759
<v Speaker 3>I do know a lot of people don't like a

173
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:17.559
<v Speaker 3>lot of things, especially Okay, so first of all, MPJ,

174
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:20.759
<v Speaker 3>I do like the fact that this show. I think

175
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.519
<v Speaker 3>tonight this showed that having another person who can create juice.

176
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:29.519
<v Speaker 3>And if you compare MPJ to what Bones did out there,

177
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:34.559
<v Speaker 3>like MPJ though he does excuse me, K, yeah, my

178
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:41.519
<v Speaker 3>bad KBJ. Yeah, he does look to find people and

179
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:46.519
<v Speaker 3>then usually his shot is the last, the last, you know, option,

180
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:51.639
<v Speaker 3>whereas Bones usually looks for his shot first and then

181
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:54.360
<v Speaker 3>he looks for other people. He started to change it

182
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.480
<v Speaker 3>over a little bit as the game went along tonight,

183
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:58.799
<v Speaker 3>but usually when he hits the floor, that's the first

184
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:02.320
<v Speaker 3>thing he does looked at you, and that's usually that's

185
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:04.519
<v Speaker 3>probably the reason why he's not hitting the floors. Like

186
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:07.720
<v Speaker 3>he really doesn't get it. Puts his defensive his defensive

187
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.279
<v Speaker 3>deficiencies that we know he has.

188
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I like that point, Gene. I think you're actually

189
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:16.879
<v Speaker 1>spot on. I think that's part of the problem. KPg

190
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.919
<v Speaker 1>is just a bigger body out there. He's a better athlete.

191
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:21.919
<v Speaker 1>He can defend, he can rebound a little bit more,

192
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:25.559
<v Speaker 1>and Bones does look for his shot a lot. He's

193
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:28.279
<v Speaker 1>hunting for an off the bounds three point shot, and

194
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:30.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll give him credit to a degree. He went five

195
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.799
<v Speaker 1>of ten from the outside and he ended up leading

196
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:36.279
<v Speaker 1>them with eighteen points. But a lot of that was

197
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:38.840
<v Speaker 1>during inconsequential time because by the time he came into

198
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the ballgame, the clips were down by twenty. But that's

199
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:44.720
<v Speaker 1>who Bones Island is. He is a score first, back

200
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:46.559
<v Speaker 1>up point guard, I think in this league, and I

201
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.159
<v Speaker 1>think he's a legit NBA player that could average fifteen

202
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.559
<v Speaker 1>a night off the bench in the right situation. But

203
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.919
<v Speaker 1>it's not happening right now with this Clippers team. However,

204
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:58.799
<v Speaker 1>they could use him moving forward. Gene, I appreciate the

205
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.919
<v Speaker 1>phone call. We'll see what develops with Bones Highland over

206
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.000
<v Speaker 1>this stretch. With Terrence Man out, We'll see how much

207
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:07.399
<v Speaker 1>longer KPJ is going to be out because they have

208
00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:10.399
<v Speaker 1>looked like they obviously need another creator out there. So

209
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:13.519
<v Speaker 1>if KPJ is still out, we know Terrence Man is

210
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:15.759
<v Speaker 1>going to be reevaluated in three weeks. We got that

211
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:17.960
<v Speaker 1>from Law Murray earlier and he joined me on the

212
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:21.960
<v Speaker 1>pregame show. So they need somebody, and I hope bones

213
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.759
<v Speaker 1>Hyland can kind of shoot himself out of the slump

214
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:29.480
<v Speaker 1>he's been in, but also just find a rhythm out

215
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:31.519
<v Speaker 1>there in the flow of the offense, so he's not

216
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.480
<v Speaker 1>just shot hunting, and he's trying to get others involved

217
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:38.799
<v Speaker 1>because he is a good passer. There are times where

218
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:40.840
<v Speaker 1>this is somebody that can run the high, pick and roll.

219
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:42.600
<v Speaker 1>He can find his big man, he can make the

220
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:47.799
<v Speaker 1>game easier for others. But right now probably leaning a

221
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:50.879
<v Speaker 1>little too far into just looking to score out there.

222
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.080
<v Speaker 1>We'll see what happens on Sunday night. We'll take a

223
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:56.080
<v Speaker 1>quick quick time out here on Clippers Talk. We'll come

224
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.919
<v Speaker 1>back after the Clippers lose one o eight to eighty.

225
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Hear it into its to the Minnesota Timberwolves. I'm out

226
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:06.360
<v Speaker 1>of Maslind and you're listening to a five seventy LA Sports.

227
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:12.120
<v Speaker 2>He throws it up goin no finishes in the foul

228
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles Slipper Nation. This is your home for the

229
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.919
<v Speaker 2>LA Clippers. LA Clippers, take us with you on the

230
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Ihearts Radio.

231
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:25.039
<v Speaker 1>AIP Clippers faull by twenty eight here and into it zone.

232
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:29.799
<v Speaker 1>The fortress was finally breached after they had one nine

233
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:33.480
<v Speaker 1>straight here in their new and first home. Welcome back

234
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:38.360
<v Speaker 1>in I'm out of maslind This is Clippers talk. Eight

235
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:40.919
<v Speaker 1>six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six

236
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.759
<v Speaker 1>six ninety eight seven two five seventy. Really the game

237
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.240
<v Speaker 1>was over after Minnesota had a thirty five to seven

238
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.679
<v Speaker 1>run during a nine minute stretch between the first and

239
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the second quarter. Clippers couldn't get anything to go on

240
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:56.639
<v Speaker 1>one end, couldn't get stops on the other end. It

241
00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:59.840
<v Speaker 1>was a hard watch. I understand it might be down

242
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:04.120
<v Speaker 1>this one Clipper Nation, but look a big picture. This

243
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:07.559
<v Speaker 1>team is fourteen and ten, with having one of the

244
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.519
<v Speaker 1>toughest schedules, with having already played guys, half of their

245
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:17.159
<v Speaker 1>games have been in a back to back scenario. Twelve

246
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:21.039
<v Speaker 1>of their twenty four games have either been a game

247
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:22.799
<v Speaker 1>on the front end of a back to back or

248
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.559
<v Speaker 1>the second game of a back to back. Half their

249
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:29.320
<v Speaker 1>games have been within the parameters of a back to

250
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:34.080
<v Speaker 1>back so far. Has anybody else had that in the NBA? Somehow?

251
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.799
<v Speaker 1>I doubt it. But the Clippers score season low eighty

252
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:43.799
<v Speaker 1>points in the game. Bones Highland did have a season

253
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:47.039
<v Speaker 1>high with eighteen. He was the leading score for the

254
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Clippers tonight. Julius Randall had sixteen of his twenty points

255
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:52.480
<v Speaker 1>in the first quarter, by the way, and was hitting everything.

256
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>He hit four three pointers in the first quarter, I

257
00:14:55.840 --> 00:15:02.000
<v Speaker 1>want to say. And the Minnesota Timberwolves came out hot,

258
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.960
<v Speaker 1>ready to go, focused, and they made it three wins

259
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:10.799
<v Speaker 1>in a row, and all three over teams from LA.

260
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.360
<v Speaker 1>They just held both LA teams to eighty points in

261
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:17.799
<v Speaker 1>back to back games. Monday against the Lakers, they held

262
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:21.960
<v Speaker 1>them to eighty Tonight against the Clippers in LA. They

263
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>hold your Los Angeles Clippers to eighty points. But I'm

264
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:28.480
<v Speaker 1>just not gonna overreact to something like this. I can't.

265
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.840
<v Speaker 1>We've had too much evidence that this Clippers team, that

266
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:35.639
<v Speaker 1>this performance is not indicative of who they are as

267
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:40.720
<v Speaker 1>a squad. This is not who they are. Do they

268
00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:44.120
<v Speaker 1>have to prove it to you again? Okay, Well, they

269
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:45.919
<v Speaker 1>got a big one coming up Sunday night. Against the

270
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Houston Rockets, who have gotten the best of them twice.

271
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.080
<v Speaker 1>And Houston's playing like best team of the West. They've

272
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.759
<v Speaker 1>looked that good so far this season. But right behind

273
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Oka see in the standings. They got the number two seed.

274
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.320
<v Speaker 1>They got a bunch of young athletic guys as they

275
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.200
<v Speaker 1>give the Clippers a lot of problems. They pose a

276
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:05.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of problems to this Clippers team. I just want

277
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:10.080
<v Speaker 1>to see a higher level of energy, effort and a

278
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:13.840
<v Speaker 1>better spear being played without there by the Clippers. That

279
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:17.919
<v Speaker 1>competitive integrity has to be intact, and I think it

280
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:23.159
<v Speaker 1>will be. Coach lu said postgame, we're flushing it. They're

281
00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:25.799
<v Speaker 1>not gonna dwell on this. They're not gonna try to

282
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:27.559
<v Speaker 1>figure out what went wrong in a game like this.

283
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:31.279
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty understandable. It's pretty explainable. Clippers were missing three

284
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:35.120
<v Speaker 1>key guys. Second, I have a back to back, played

285
00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:39.759
<v Speaker 1>twenty one games last thirty six days. The tank was empty.

286
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:43.480
<v Speaker 1>But they're gonna refuel over the next three days. They're

287
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:48.519
<v Speaker 1>gonna recharge, They're gonna regroup and be rejuvenated. I fully

288
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:51.639
<v Speaker 1>believe there's gonna be a great effort here against Houston

289
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.600
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, night. I'm not overly concerned by this. It's

290
00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.240
<v Speaker 1>an aberration, it's an outlier game. There's not a lot

291
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.159
<v Speaker 1>you can put into losses like this when you've seen

292
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.000
<v Speaker 1>so much to contradict how the Clippers team has played. Tonight,

293
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:12.799
<v Speaker 1>Daniel said, it's obvious Bones has talent, but I feel

294
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:16.519
<v Speaker 1>his time in LA is done. Unless Clips have continuous injuries.

295
00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:18.720
<v Speaker 1>He's not getting run well. It turns out they do

296
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:21.200
<v Speaker 1>at the moment. If KPg is not back on Friday,

297
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:24.799
<v Speaker 1>or excuse me, on Sunday night against Houston, I expect

298
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:29.039
<v Speaker 1>Bones to play again at least knocked down five to

299
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:31.440
<v Speaker 1>three pointers. I think all of them came off the bounce.

300
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:36.839
<v Speaker 1>It's not easy, but coach Lou wants a playmaker and

301
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:40.400
<v Speaker 1>a shock creader out there because they've had some real

302
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:45.039
<v Speaker 1>les offensively without those guys. And maybe you are seeing

303
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.279
<v Speaker 1>a case being built for why KPJ is so important

304
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:51.160
<v Speaker 1>to this team right now. Without him, it's just hard

305
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:53.640
<v Speaker 1>for them to get into their offense to initiate stuff.

306
00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:56.720
<v Speaker 1>And I'm hoping Bones can shake out the cobwebs a

307
00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:58.759
<v Speaker 1>little bit tonight with this performance and just getting to

308
00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:04.359
<v Speaker 1>play heavier minutes, and there is a better bones Highland

309
00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.400
<v Speaker 1>a version of him coming on Sunday night, should he

310
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:09.359
<v Speaker 1>get minutes against the Houston Rockets, and one more time

311
00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:11.720
<v Speaker 1>before we get out of here. Congrats to Cam Christy

312
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.680
<v Speaker 1>and Trenton Flowers. Welcome to the league. They both get

313
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.519
<v Speaker 1>their first points as a player in the national as

314
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.599
<v Speaker 1>players in the National Basketball Association. Clippers lose though final

315
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:25.400
<v Speaker 1>score one eight to eighty. Hear it into it Dome

316
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:29.039
<v Speaker 1>to the Minnesota Timberwolves before we get out of here.

317
00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I do you want to thank the Clippers organization? Ralph Lawler,

318
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Brian Semen, No what ego? Carlohman is on the call,

319
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Our leads statistician tonight, Chris Taylor, our head engineer, big brother,

320
00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:53.839
<v Speaker 1>Jake Warner, Dennis Degastino, we missed you and if I

321
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.039
<v Speaker 1>had a better stat tonight, we would have the Dennis

322
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Degastino stat of the night. But unfortunately there's a lot

323
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:03.799
<v Speaker 1>of low lights for the Slippers team. But believe me,

324
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:07.319
<v Speaker 1>if there's one thing we know about this squad is

325
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:11.680
<v Speaker 1>that they have a great ability to bounce back. Coach

326
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Lou knows how to get the men in black, neuralizer

327
00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:18.480
<v Speaker 1>out there or whatever it is to wipe the memory.

328
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.839
<v Speaker 1>They're the mechanism. Turn the page and move forward and

329
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.200
<v Speaker 1>they'll be ready Sunday night against the Houston Rockets. A

<v Speaker 1>big thanks goes out to callin ye see Easy, our

331
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.240

332
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:35.440
<v Speaker 1>but we were happy to have him call and thank you.

333
