Speaker 1: Slippers.
Speaker 2: The game is ended, gather round boys, time to recap.
Speaker 1: But the post game coverage is just getting started. The
Speaker 1: successes the failure. Let's discuss.
Speaker 3: This is Clippers locker Road breaking down today's action with
Speaker 3: the pre and post game voice of the Clippers.
Speaker 2: Here's that a moss lad Clippers closed out a preseason
Speaker 2: in style and stay undefeated. It into it home they
Speaker 2: win one thirteen to ninety one. Open the Sacramento Kings
Speaker 2: and preseason game number five next week, things get real.
Speaker 2: Welcome into your postgame show. I'm at a Oslin coming
Speaker 2: up second half. Highlight your postgame box score more and
Speaker 2: before we get to Carlo Jimenez, let's pause ten seconds
Speaker 2: per station identification here in Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 3: This is La Clippers Basketball AM eleven fifty EV, Los
Speaker 3: Angeles is an iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 2: Carlo a dominant victory in preseason game number five, and
Speaker 2: the Clippers did so tonight without some key players. Two
Speaker 2: starters stare Joe's junior Nope, he was out. And the
Speaker 2: guy who runs everything, the engine of the offense, that
Speaker 2: would be James Harden.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they didn't miss a beat today. Adam offensively
Speaker 4: they were excellent. The defense once again active in the
Speaker 4: passing lanes twenty steals on Monday thirteen. Today here on Thursday,
Speaker 4: and they got out to an early lead and kind
Speaker 4: of ran away with things from the get go.
Speaker 1: It was so impressive by this Clipper team.
Speaker 4: And then to think to the bench, Adam, no, Kevin
Speaker 4: Porter Junior in this one out because of the corny
Speaker 4: lot Marie Dental, What does that mean?
Speaker 2: The laughing gas can get you. You can't play after that,
Speaker 2: you'd be like the Joker out there. But not Nikola Jokin.
Speaker 4: Yeah, can't play and you can't fly too, can't fly too.
Speaker 4: So Kevin Porter Junior out today? And who steps into
Speaker 4: his spot but Jordan Miller twenty one points, eight for eleven,
Speaker 4: two for two. Jordan Miller was so so good. I
Speaker 4: got a shout out my guy Nick, who I met
Speaker 4: last week. Nick was telling me he is number one
Speaker 4: on the Jordan Miller fan club, trying to make sure
Speaker 4: he gets more time. And hey, Jordan Miller made Nick
Speaker 4: proud today.
Speaker 1: Let's be honest.
Speaker 2: Jordan Miller is a bucket. Over and over again. He
Speaker 2: continues to prove this Slippers team right for taking him
Speaker 2: in the second round. He's accomplished a lot in the
Speaker 2: G League, was eighth in scoring last season, runner up
Speaker 2: for MVP in the Summer League, this past last couple
Speaker 2: of months, and now in the preseason, all that is
Speaker 2: carried over. This is somebody that I want to see
Speaker 2: get a chance against more first and second units in
Speaker 2: the regular season. Tonight he was going up against Keegan
Speaker 2: Murray a lot and more than held his own. Carlo,
Speaker 2: this was his biggest test and I think he passed
Speaker 2: with flying.
Speaker 4: Colors, flying colors at him, and just like you mentioned
Speaker 4: early on in the preseason, but he just looks comfortable.
Speaker 4: I mean every time he has the ball, every time
Speaker 4: he drives, no matter who he's playing against, he looks
Speaker 4: comfortable in this ballgame.
Speaker 1: He looks aggressive.
Speaker 4: He knows this BoNT he wants to get to and
Speaker 4: it's so fun to watch him continue to step into
Speaker 4: this role and grow. And this is Adam, why you
Speaker 4: get guys in their fifth year out of college. You
Speaker 4: might think, you know, oh, Jordan Miller, five years at college,
Speaker 4: maybe doesn't have the experience or the youth. You know,
Speaker 4: sometimes if you're not young, teams will say, well, then
Speaker 4: you don't have the opportunity or the upside that maybe
Speaker 4: somebody who's really young would have. But at the same time,
Speaker 4: what that does mean is you can be a contributor
Speaker 4: in year two. And Jordan Miller looks like he can
Speaker 4: be a contributor in year two.
Speaker 2: Jordan Miller wise beyond his years. Kobe Brown had a
Speaker 2: nice ball game tonight as well. I thought he looked
Speaker 2: much better and a little bit more comfortable out there
Speaker 2: with his ten points, was looking for his offense, was
Speaker 2: playing the five sum once Kay Jones went out for
Speaker 2: a little bit in the second half. Kobe Brown I
Speaker 2: think needed a game like this where he knocked out
Speaker 2: a couple of threes, just confidence wise heading into the
Speaker 2: regular season.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Adam looked a little hesitant to start the game
Speaker 4: and then I don't know what happened after that first stint,
Speaker 4: but I think somebody told him, hey man, you gotta
Speaker 4: let a flo and he let it fly today. Shot
Speaker 4: seven shots, went two for four from three, was really
Speaker 4: aggressive with the basketball, eight rebounds and six assist, a
Speaker 4: little bit of everything for this Clipper team today. Fun
Speaker 4: to see him excel for the clips. Those two picks
Speaker 4: seemingly guys, the Clippers are gonna rely on.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's been the talk. Who was Bones Highland?
Speaker 4: Jordan Miller and Kobe Brown were guys Tyler specifically named
Speaker 4: at the start of training camp as young guys who
Speaker 4: need to take a step forward and could contribute.
Speaker 1: And they've played well. I thought all preseason long at him.
Speaker 2: You mentioned bones Hiland there after getting a DNP Monday
Speaker 2: night here and into a dome, he gets the start tonight.
Speaker 2: I almost wonder. We know there could be a suspension
Speaker 2: looming with Kevin Porter Junior. We wondered about that throughout
Speaker 2: the off season, and the Clippers have not moved on
Speaker 2: from Bones Highland, even though they brought in KPJ, even
Speaker 2: though they brought in Chris Dunn. And then a situation
Speaker 2: comes up tonight where James Harden's out, KPJ is out
Speaker 2: getting dental work done, and Bones Highland had a couple
Speaker 2: of steals and got them into their offense right away,
Speaker 2: finding Terrence Man for some easy points in transition. It
Speaker 2: actually was his defense, as this team is hanging their
Speaker 2: hat on that so far that got them going.
Speaker 4: Yeah, three steals at him in the first like two
Speaker 4: minutes of the ballgame. He finishes the night with three
Speaker 4: assists and ten points. If bones Island continues to be
Speaker 4: this active on the defensive end, I mean, the deflection
Speaker 4: numbers are off the chart for him this preseason, there's
Speaker 4: an opportunity for him to play because defense is going
Speaker 4: to get you on the floor. Just ask Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 4: That's how he got on the floor in zend Antonio.
Speaker 4: Can Bones Highland be a pest defensively pick up ninety
Speaker 4: four feet and then also knock down big time shots
Speaker 4: on the offensive end. The Clippers could have packaged a
Speaker 4: trade I think with PJ. Tucker and Bones Highland at
Speaker 4: this point in time, you feel like somebody would take
Speaker 4: the upside on Bones Highland. But there's a reason they've
Speaker 4: stuck with him. There's a reason they want to see
Speaker 4: him thrive. He's a second team All rookie for a reason,
Speaker 4: and he continues to show that he can be a
Speaker 4: serviceable player for this Clipper team. And like you said,
Speaker 4: and like Tyl Lewis said, there's a path for him
Speaker 4: to play minutes down the stretch of the season.
Speaker 2: Like what we saw from Aviatsa Zubas just fifteen minutes
Speaker 2: but eight points, and I thought he was a little
Speaker 2: bit more assertive and also just more decisive out there
Speaker 2: getting to his spots this time. Early on we saw
Speaker 2: him back down's the bonus not easy get to the
Speaker 2: little running right handed hook in the lane for his
Speaker 2: first two points.
Speaker 1: I thought of Eatsa.
Speaker 2: Zubats had a nice ball game, also maybe giving him
Speaker 2: even more confidence because of he knows how much he's
Speaker 2: going to be featured heading into the season.
Speaker 4: Yeah, really stepped up and did what Tyler called on
Speaker 4: him to do, which was that was to be patient
Speaker 4: on the offensive end ad him. I thought he was
Speaker 4: extremely patient on the offensive vent his ability to get
Speaker 4: into the block, take a couple of dribbles, get to
Speaker 4: his right hand hook, which we know is just absolutely
Speaker 4: gorgeous and usually ends up in two points for the Clippers.
Speaker 1: If Eatsa.
Speaker 4: Zubats was aggressive, the Clippers are going to have to
Speaker 4: play through him. When you think about the Sun's team
Speaker 4: coming in, they got a couple of good big men
Speaker 4: with use of Nerd Kitchen then Mason Plumby backing him up.
Speaker 4: But I think of Eats the Zubats finish around the
Speaker 4: rim and his ability to rebound. The basketball Phoenix struggled
Speaker 4: with all year long. Last year, their rebounding was towards
Speaker 4: the bottom of the NBA. We'll see if somebody like
Speaker 4: avit' zubots can be a difference maker in that game
Speaker 4: with all those great wings the Suns have.
Speaker 1: But I just can't wait. I mean, we did the.
Speaker 4: Preseason, we talked about the storylines, but now it's time
Speaker 4: to do the real thing. As we mentioned twice on
Speaker 4: this broadcast, two games can be the difference between third
Speaker 4: and ninth out West. Every single night matters.
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially against a team in the Pacific Division who
Speaker 2: the Clippers took down tonight in the Sacramento Kings. They'll
Speaker 2: see him four times during the regular season. As we're
Speaker 2: getting underway, starting things off next Wednesday, right back yard
Speaker 2: into It Dome. Tip off between the Clippers and Phoenix Suns.
Speaker 2: Oh and old so I was very familiar folks, and
Speaker 2: in our tribal and a team and the only team
Speaker 2: in the NBA that has knocked them out of the
Speaker 2: playoffs three times. Tip off at seven, right back heard
Speaker 2: into It till next Wednesday. We'll have your pregame show
Speaker 2: starting at six. Clippers versus Sons. Carlo Jimenez, Great Carl
Speaker 2: is always well done throughout the preseason. You know I
Speaker 2: expect even more was the regular SUSA starts.
Speaker 4: Oh, Adam, come on like the Halo board. We're just
Speaker 4: getting started. We are just getting started. Me, you and
Speaker 4: big Bro Chris Taylor doing our Saturday. Okay, do you
Speaker 4: knew him back in the studio? No, get after it. Huh.
Speaker 2: We haven't unveiled everything yet either.
Speaker 1: We stretched at the game time. Well talk to you,
Speaker 1: oh the very next segment.
Speaker 2: But Carlo Jimenez next Wednesday, right back here at the dome.
Speaker 1: Clippers and Socks, let's do it baby.
Speaker 2: Coming up backs your post game box score. Clippers take
Speaker 2: down the Kings with some style points. One thirteen to
Speaker 2: ninety one was your final, as six Clippers were in
Speaker 2: double figure scoring and they were led by Jordan Miller
Speaker 2: who had a game honch twcey one points on that.
Speaker 2: Coming up next, I'm Adam Ozlav. You're listening to your
Speaker 2: Clippers locker room post game show right here on Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Clippers on the Lady Clippers win big over the
Speaker 2: Sacramento Kings in preseason game number five. Their final one
Speaker 2: thirteen to ninety one is your final. Clippers led big
Speaker 2: at the half They put this one away early and
Speaker 2: did so without James Harden, with out Derek Jones Junior.
Speaker 2: It was the most impressive game to me of the preseason,
Speaker 2: considering their opponent outside de Aaron Fox. I'm not trying
Speaker 2: to make light of that. Obviously is a big part
Speaker 2: of what they do. But the Kings had the bonus,
Speaker 2: they had Derosen, they had Keegan Murray, and they were
Speaker 2: a mess. I think they had nine turnovers in the
Speaker 2: first quarter. The Clippers defense man holding every team in
Speaker 2: the preseason under one hundred that is impressive. I mean
Speaker 2: in the first half the Kings they were under thirty
Speaker 2: percent shooting. They ended up shooting just thirty five percent
Speaker 2: for the game, twelve to forty six from three. Clippers
Speaker 2: were at fifty four percent. Bones Highland was leading them
Speaker 2: early on with some of his defensive he plays. He
Speaker 2: had three steals. You know, I love busy. Bones was
Speaker 2: talking to you guys off the air on the YouTube
Speaker 2: live side on Clippers Talk. But this is your Clippers'
Speaker 2: locker room postgame show. Shall we get after this final
Speaker 2: box score?
Speaker 3: Here?
Speaker 2: At the half, the Kings had more turnovers than made shots.
Speaker 2: They had thirteen turnovers to twelve made shots. Secondly made
Speaker 2: thirty field goals in the entire ballgame. They had twenty
Speaker 2: three turnovers after a game where the Dallas Mavericks had
Speaker 2: twenty nine. Here into a home on Monday night, and
Speaker 2: the Clippers have been turning teams over left and right.
Speaker 2: Granted they've had their own issues there nineteen turnovers tonight,
Speaker 2: but still Sacramento had twenty three. My goodness, that was
Speaker 2: Clip City's back. It's just preseason. I don't want to
Speaker 2: make too much out of it. Cam Christy, it looked
Speaker 2: like he turned the left ankle. Give you an update
Speaker 2: on that coming up. But this is the comment right here.
Speaker 2: What have I been saying about Jordan Miller all preseason?
Speaker 2: It just looks too easy for him, it is, you
Speaker 2: gotta challenge him. Tonight he was going up against Keithan Murray,
Speaker 2: one of their better defenders, a young player but with
Speaker 2: a lot of experience in the league, and he was
Speaker 2: getting buckets. You can't stop Jordan Miller getting downhill, and
Speaker 2: he's got great touch, that little southpaw, lefty floater runner
Speaker 2: push shot. I don't know eight of eleven, two of
Speaker 2: two from three, a no dip three twenty one points.
Speaker 2: His defense was good. He had to play on the
Speaker 2: far sideline with Tamar DeRozan going for a ball like
Speaker 2: staying in front of his man. You have to play
Speaker 2: Jordan Miller. He has to get a chance in the
Speaker 2: regular season. I'm telling you now, this is it. This
Speaker 2: is a guy who has earned it. Every hurdle you
Speaker 2: put in front of him. He continues to clear. He looks.
Speaker 2: I know it's level of competition. We have to take
Speaker 2: that into account. But Sacramento tonight outside darreon Fox, they
Speaker 2: were playing their guys. Simonis was playing early in the
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. What Jordan Miller is thriving? Spencer Van boos
Speaker 2: Kirk says, I need some Jordan Miller minutes this season.
Speaker 2: I put up the Kenny Smith, Vince Carter. It's over.
Speaker 2: It's over, ladies and gentlemen. You have to play Jordan Miller.
Speaker 2: He looks way too good. This is what this Clipper
Speaker 2: season could turn into. There's an opening because we don't
Speaker 2: know if they're contender right now. We don't know, and
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard is going to be back. Young guys have
Speaker 2: to get run. You might find somebody in a season
Speaker 2: like this. What could end up being a transitional year.
Speaker 2: Who knows, but Miller starts things off left handed floater
Speaker 2: and one another floater in the lane, another and one
Speaker 2: on a left handed floater, the no dip three another
Speaker 2: three second quarter, good defense on DeRos and ten and
Speaker 2: a half. Then split the defense in the third quarter
Speaker 2: with the left handed layup another push shot man first
Speaker 2: one hundred wins. It's the law, Mio said. Love to
Speaker 2: see Coffee be aggressive too, love seeing him be aggressive. Yeah,
Speaker 2: a mere Coffee was very good in this game, very
Speaker 2: good second in scoring with his eighteen that's accurate five
Speaker 2: of ten, knockdown three three pointers. He shot thirty eight
Speaker 2: percent from three last season, and he didn't start playing
Speaker 2: till basically January, maybe early December. I am impressed. I
Speaker 2: have to say tonight solidified some of my thoughts this
Speaker 2: preseason about what's real with this team. The defensive effort
Speaker 2: is real. The thing coach lou had said in Honolulu
Speaker 2: before their first game regarding their identity and what type
Speaker 2: of ball club they're trying to be, he said, a
Speaker 2: team that plays hard. He just filtered it down and
Speaker 2: simplified it to a team that plays hard. Obviously, there's
Speaker 2: a lot of schematics. They're learning a new defensive system
Speaker 2: over JVG Jeff van Gunde. But whoever is out there
Speaker 2: is playing hard. Jay says preseason Shams, I'm going to
Speaker 2: Vegas and betting big on this team. Tom Rain said,
Speaker 2: if a suspension is coming for KPg, what time frame
Speaker 2: would you expect that information? I don't know. Stop asking me.
Speaker 2: I have no idea. Guys, can we chill like I
Speaker 2: can give you the amount of games or when it's
Speaker 2: going to come. I have no idea. I just know
Speaker 2: it might come. Clippers coming with that defensive mentality. One
Speaker 2: thirteen to ninety one. Your final over the Sacramento Kings,
Speaker 2: who were playing everybody but deer and Fox. As they
Speaker 2: win zero five in the preseason and continue not to
Speaker 2: be able to hit from distance. That is bizarre considering
Speaker 2: their team that plays the analytics and gets up a
Speaker 2: lot of threes. More on this one more postgame coming
Speaker 2: up next live from into a Dome. You want to
Speaker 2: see what it looks like on the Halo three sixty
Speaker 2: when the Clippers are victorious. Clippers win, Wait, it just
Speaker 2: went away there? It is what the cool new cursive
Speaker 2: which is homage Clipper Nation I know you guys are
Speaker 2: feeling good tonight. We'll talk about it. You know what,
Speaker 2: when I get home after this, Clippers Talk after dark.
Speaker 2: Believe that that is happening still on the Patriot AM
Speaker 2: eleven fifty and Clippers Talk on the YouTube side right now,
Speaker 2: more Clippers Talk next right here on the Los Angeles
Speaker 2: Clippers are on your network.
Speaker 3: Throws it off the window, finishes in the fowl Los
Speaker 3: Angeles Slipper Nation. This is your home for the LA Clippers.
Speaker 1: LA Clippers.
Speaker 3: Take us with you on the Ihearts Radio.
Speaker 2: Iive the Clippers were a Golden State Warriors buzzer beater
Speaker 2: and Honolulu like that should even count away from going
Speaker 2: five to zero in the preseason. They win tonight over
Speaker 2: the Sacramento Kings here and into it home one thirteen
Speaker 2: and ninety one. Welcome back into your postgame show here
Speaker 2: on the Patriot AM eleven fifty and on the YouTube
Speaker 2: live on Clippers Talker at Clippers Talk as the channel.
Speaker 2: Appreciate you guys in here, throwing in a lot of
Speaker 2: questions and comments, a lot of love and support coming
Speaker 2: in for Jordan Miller tonight. A lot of people were
Speaker 2: already high on him Carlojimenez stole him as his player
Speaker 2: to watch tonight. I had Bones high when I heard
Speaker 2: Bones was starting. I'm going with Bones and Bonds was
Speaker 2: good just four thirteen, but ten points and got things started.
Speaker 2: He got t Man going, who, by the way, was
Speaker 2: five of six and knockdown three pointer. I think that's
Speaker 2: big for him too. I don't think he took a
Speaker 2: three last game, but t Man had twelve points and
Speaker 2: got some easy looks in transition. There was one point
Speaker 2: in the first half where Terrence Man didn't have numbers.
Speaker 2: It was like a one on three coming from right
Speaker 2: to left, still went towards the basket, still went downhill,
Speaker 2: drew the foul, couldn't get the bucket. But that's what
Speaker 2: I want to see. Aggressive attack mode put him on
Speaker 2: their heels, forced the issue. Terrence Man's too good at
Speaker 2: finishing at the basket. Top three guard finishing at the basket.
Speaker 2: He's a top three guard the last two years. The
Speaker 2: only guy better than him last season was Luka Dacic
Speaker 2: in that area. Jays said, how the Clip's going to
Speaker 2: get Miller on a regular contract. I don't know, sir.
Speaker 2: I think it starts by I would think moving PJ.
Speaker 1: Tucker.
Speaker 2: Anthony Armstrong said, who does he play over though Jordan
Speaker 2: Miller depends. Can he play the four? If all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, Jordan Miller could play the four. If he
Speaker 2: can be the power forward, that would cure a lot
Speaker 2: of what the Clippers or what ails them. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 2: set Adam spit it out Ozland that Mexican Nara said, agreed,
Speaker 2: Jordan Miller needs minutes. Also, give that man a standard
Speaker 2: contract asap. They can't. There's only so many of them.
Speaker 2: Someone has to be cut first or traded a two
Speaker 2: for one trade, so then you open up one roster spot.
Speaker 2: Not that easy. And all you guys last show are
Speaker 2: saying kai Jones has to get the standard contract. Well,
Speaker 2: kai Jones struggled understandably against the Mantis a bonus, even
Speaker 2: Alex lenn At times those are NBA rotation bigs. Bonus
Speaker 2: is a star, Alex lenn is a solid backup, and
Speaker 2: things were a little bit too sped up for Kai Jones,
Speaker 2: who had to hack a SA Bonus at times, who
Speaker 2: used his aggressiveness the bonus using it against kai Jones,
Speaker 2: getting him up in the air. It was a good lesson.
Speaker 2: I'm glad he played as many minutes as he did.
Speaker 2: He still had a ridiculous and one dunk in the
Speaker 2: second half off of a steal where they rewarded the
Speaker 2: big man running the floor in Kai Jones deca fantastic
Speaker 2: on the YouTube side, said PJ. Gone Miller contract midway.
Speaker 2: Kai will probably be on the two way the entire
Speaker 2: year because Bamba. We'll see, We'll see what happens. I
Speaker 2: don't want to make any long reaching conclusions about the
Speaker 2: preseason outside of I believe this team is gonna play hard.
Speaker 2: It's that simple. That's what coach lu said, and that's
Speaker 2: what we saw throughout the preseason. That's encouraging to me.
Speaker 2: They're building an identity toughness, a resilient nature. What does
Speaker 2: that sound like? The twenty one, twenty two team, the
Speaker 2: eighteen nineteen team, the seventeen eighteen team. Seen this movie
Speaker 2: before and I like it. Clippers end up going forward
Speaker 2: one in the preseason. They win tonight one thirteen to
Speaker 2: ninety one over the Sacramento Kings in Game number five.
Speaker 2: Their next game right back here at into a Dome
Speaker 2: next Wednesday, October twenty third, they're taking on the Phoenix Suns.
Speaker 2: Tip off at seven, pregame at six. Before we get
Speaker 2: out of here, I want to thank the Clippers organization,
Speaker 2: Ralph Lawler, Brian Seeman, Noah Ego, Carlo Jim and his
Speaker 2: big brother, Jake Warner, our head engineer, Katie Newton, our
Speaker 2: producer back in the bank, the call, the listeners, the chatters.
Speaker 2: More coming up later on the YouTube side. When I
Speaker 2: get back home in about forty five minutes, I'll fire
Speaker 2: it back up. Clippers Talk after dark. You guys are
Speaker 2: too excited about this team, so am I talk to
Speaker 2: you then.
Speaker 1: And with that, just like that, another Clipper broadcast is ended.
Speaker 1: Jacarding Chudging.

Speaker 3: today's GAT.
