Speaker 1: The LA Clippers.
Speaker 2: The game is ended, gather round boys, time to recap,
Speaker 2: but the.
Speaker 3: Post game coverage is just getting started.
Speaker 2: The successes the failure.
Speaker 4: Let's discuss this is Clippers locker Road breaking down today's
Speaker 4: action with the pre and post game voice of the Clippers.
Speaker 3: Here's a a moss lad.
Speaker 1: Clippers make it four straight victories. They sweep the home
Speaker 1: stand here into a dull final score. Clippers won oh
Speaker 1: four Sacramento Kings eighty eight. The Clippers get their first
Speaker 1: in season Tournament Cup victory. What a win. Clipper Nation,
Speaker 1: Welcome in. It's your post game show. I'm at a
Speaker 1: Moslin coming up, we will have Clippers Talk. Eight six
Speaker 1: six ninety seven two five seventy eight sixty six ninety
Speaker 1: seven two five seventy is the phone number. It is
Speaker 1: a King season low, scoring just eighty eight points so
Speaker 1: far in this ballgame tonight. Impressive defense by the Clippers,
Speaker 1: who only gave up twenty nine of the eighty eight
Speaker 1: points in the first half. Carlo Jimenez an unbelievable effort.
Speaker 5: Unbelievable effort by a defense that clamped down, that proved
Speaker 5: they could be a top five defense in the NBA.
Speaker 5: You keep the turnovers number low. In this one, everybody shine,
Speaker 5: everyone contributed. Clippers get thirty nine points from their bench.
Speaker 5: Their bench outscore Sacramento by thirty tonight. Adam and the
Speaker 5: Clippers really every time Sacramento raded him run, the Clippers
Speaker 5: were able to respond with a run of their own.
Speaker 5: They made it awfully hard for this King's team, and
Speaker 5: night after night, Adam, we just continued to get shown
Speaker 5: that this is a team that Hey, Kendrick Perkins doesn't
Speaker 5: have a lot of right takes, all right, but he
Speaker 5: did say earlier today that the Clippers are a surprised
Speaker 5: to start the season, and I think a lot of
Speaker 5: people around the league are starting to take notice this
Speaker 5: Clipper team is a lot better than what people expected.
Speaker 5: They said it a media day, we shouldn't listen to it.
Speaker 5: Then they're proven it on the floor now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good to see like casuals like Kendrick Purkiss
Speaker 1: to understand this Clippers defense is for real. They made
Speaker 1: a statement tonight in the first half. I mean, that
Speaker 1: is the lowest total of any team so far this
Speaker 1: season in the NBA. Twenty nine points is all that
Speaker 1: the Sacramento Kings could muster in the first half of
Speaker 1: this one. In the first twenty four minutes, they're held
Speaker 1: to a season low eighty eight points. Lowest opponents scoring
Speaker 1: points against the Clippers since it was this last March
Speaker 1: March third of this year. That was in Minnesota, where
Speaker 1: the Clippers would snag in eighty nine eighty eight victory.
Speaker 1: Once again. Tonight, Sacramento Kings only score eighty eight points.
Speaker 1: But this is a top ten offense, and they look
Speaker 1: completely lost in the first half. Yes, they got going
Speaker 1: at some points in the second half, Carlow, but I'm
Speaker 1: still impressed by this Clippers team running through the tape late.
Speaker 1: When it was down to an eight point lead in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, the Clippers had to execute. Coach Lou
Speaker 1: told him slow it down a little bit. It was
Speaker 1: almost like Kobe against the Pacers in the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1: It's cool. I got this. We're gonna be all right.
Speaker 1: And the Clippers came through and made some big shots late.
Speaker 5: They made some huge shot late. I thought Mobamba hit
Speaker 5: a big time three. Derek Jones Junior was excellent today.
Speaker 5: I forget whose player to watch he was, but seventeen points,
Speaker 5: six for thirteen from the field, four rebounds, and a steal.
Speaker 5: Chris Dunn was a pest on the defensive end. Adam
Speaker 5: how many passes did he break up? He had eight rebounds.
Speaker 5: This season high was nine. Three steals in this game
Speaker 5: hard and three steals. Timrence Man, in limited action off
Speaker 5: the bench, was excellent down the stretch in that fourth quarter.
Speaker 5: I think he only played nine minutes at him on
Speaker 5: the night coming into the fourth. He played nine huge
Speaker 5: fourth quarter minutes for this Clipper team. Had five points
Speaker 5: hit a big three. Look, when you shoot twenty three
Speaker 5: percent from outside the arc, you're not expected to win
Speaker 5: a lot of games. What did the Clippers do today, Domini?
Speaker 5: They won by sixteen in a game they shot twenty
Speaker 5: three percent from outside the arc. Why they took care
Speaker 5: of the basketball? They played fantastic defense and everyone played
Speaker 5: it well today at some point in this game contributed
Speaker 5: to a big time win. What a balance, healthy attack
Speaker 5: by this Clipper group.
Speaker 1: They more than cut their turnover vers in half after
Speaker 1: having twenty five of them on Wednesday against Orlando. They
Speaker 1: finished with twelve turnovers, just three in the first half.
Speaker 1: And how about Kevin Porter Junior. He got that tough
Speaker 1: reverse layup late in the third quarter. The Clippers needed
Speaker 1: it for some momentum, and then ended up with twelve
Speaker 1: points in the fourth quarter alone after he started at
Speaker 1: all of seven.
Speaker 5: He was so good in that fourth quarter. Adam got
Speaker 5: to his spot, got downhill. When he's playing with that
Speaker 5: type of efficiency, the Clippers have a lot of more
Speaker 5: options on the offensive end, and that was what we
Speaker 5: saw in that fourth quarter Adam. The Clippers were able
Speaker 5: to work through KPJ and because he attracted all of
Speaker 5: that attention, all of a sudden, other guys were open
Speaker 5: throughout the entire fourth quarter outside the own for threes,
Speaker 5: spraying it from downtown. It was fun to watch this
Speaker 5: Clipper team work through him, and I think rightfully so.
Speaker 5: At the beginning of the season, a lot of people
Speaker 5: felt like, I don't know if this KPJA experiment is
Speaker 5: gonna work. But after finally playing consistent basketball for the
Speaker 5: first time in over a year, he looks much more
Speaker 5: comfortable on the offensive end. He's playing much more efficiently,
Speaker 5: he's getting his teammates involved, he's crashing the glass, he's
Speaker 5: moving the rock. I think Adam with that second unit,
Speaker 5: he's been instrumental in continuing to help them play well
Speaker 5: on the offensive end.
Speaker 1: This game felt like a microcosm of his season, a
Speaker 1: slow start but then a strong finish. He has been
Speaker 1: getting better by the game recently, last ten games. Coming
Speaker 1: into this one, he was shooting forty seven percent. He
Speaker 1: started zero for seven, but big bucket after big bucket
Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter when the Clippers backups were going
Speaker 1: up against the Sacramento Kings starters, for the most part,
Speaker 1: they held their own. They played them even. That was big.
Speaker 1: It got James Harden a little bit more rest before
Speaker 1: he came back in. Chris Dunn came back in. As
Speaker 1: you mentioned, the deflections, the defensive intensity he set. The
Speaker 1: tone from the outset also felt like Ifatza Zubos getting
Speaker 1: that tip in late in this ball game once again.
Speaker 1: Fifteen boards for Big Zoo, another double double with ten
Speaker 1: to fifteen. A complete ballgame for the Clippers, a complete
Speaker 1: team effort, and they did it again without Norman Pale
Speaker 1: as a mere coffee got the start and had eleven points.
Speaker 5: Last time they beat Sacramento at him, Norman Pell had
Speaker 5: thirty one points. I mean, he was the entire offense
Speaker 5: at times for this Clipper team. They lose Norman Palell
Speaker 5: Sacramento Is on three days of rest, they get back
Speaker 5: to Botis and DeRozan, and the Clippers dominate this game
Speaker 5: as they continue this grueling stretch. They're in of these
Speaker 5: twenty one games in thirty six days. They have not
Speaker 5: had two days off in a row since October twenty eight,
Speaker 5: twenty nine, and they continue to prove that despite the
Speaker 5: schedule being against them, despite Sacramento having more offensive options healthy.
Speaker 5: In this game, the Clippers come away with the victory,
Speaker 5: gutsy win, and boy do they look comfortable at home.
Speaker 5: The Clippers have won seven in a row. Add into
Speaker 5: a dome. No need to tear it down, mister Bomber,
Speaker 5: It's working just fine.
Speaker 1: The Sacramento Kings missed seven pre throws, by the way,
Speaker 1: credit the wall. The Clippers hold the Kings to a
Speaker 1: season low eighty eight points. Clippers win one O four
Speaker 1: to eighty eight. While we have a moment, let's pause
Speaker 1: ten seconds for station identification. Here on Los Angeles Clippers
Speaker 1: Audio Network.
Speaker 4: This is LA Clippers Basketball AM five seventy KLAC Los

Speaker 6: I love this team. I never miss a game.
Speaker 4: You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball free ball, Yes, sir,
Speaker 4: right here on the LA Clippers Audio network.
Speaker 1: Clippers win again three games above five hundred and ten
Speaker 1: and seven, after making it seventh straight victories here and
Speaker 1: into a dome. They win one oh four to eighty
Speaker 1: eight over the Kings. It was an Emirates Cup contest,
Speaker 1: hence the court being blue with a red border. Clippers
Speaker 1: wearing their red jerseys. They are one to oher since
Speaker 1: bringing them back for the first time in seven years.
Speaker 1: Welcome back in. I'm Adam Moslin. This is your Clippers
Speaker 1: post game show coming up. We'll get your complete postgame
Speaker 1: box score, but right now, second half highlights. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: read you a score at the half and this may
Speaker 1: be on Ripley's believe it or not, the Clippers were
Speaker 1: up fifty one to twenty nine. They gave up twenty
Speaker 1: nine points. That's it in the first half. It is
Speaker 1: the lowest total any team has given up in the
Speaker 1: NBA this season. It's the lowest the Clippers have given
Speaker 1: up in the first half since two thousand and four.
Speaker 1: In the third quarter, though, yeah, it wasn't pretty at times,
Speaker 1: the Sacramento Kings outscored their first half total. They had
Speaker 1: thirty five points in the third quarter alone and outscored
Speaker 1: the Clippers by ten. Clippers leading by twelve still heading
Speaker 1: into the fourth after a tough reverse bucket by KPJ
Speaker 1: near the end of the third quarter, and Kevin Porter
Speaker 1: Junior stayed hot in the fourth. Steph backmitring Jumper floats
Speaker 1: it in tupman.
Speaker 5: Porter Junior with a tough finish with Colby Jones on
Speaker 5: his backside end of the paint, steps through awkward one legged.
Speaker 3: Shot and it's all chords. Time out. Mike Brown right
Speaker 3: here the dribble and crosses over on end.
Speaker 1: Let's take him.
Speaker 5: The prerow line stops and starts to the room. He
Speaker 5: lays it up through traffic for two. Quorter Junior gets inside,
Speaker 5: pulls up and hits. That's ten and a fourth FORKPJ
Speaker 5: horning bound past pace. PJ won't rise and slam.
Speaker 3: Time out.
Speaker 5: Mike Brown hap change in the traffic, dumpswooner the tagger.
Speaker 1: The Clippers go up. Carlo Jimenez on the call. The
Speaker 1: Clippers outscored the Sacramento Kings twenty eight to twenty four
Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter, thanks to twelve points from KPJ alone,
Speaker 1: helping carry them home once again. Hearing into a dome
Speaker 1: as everyone's going home with a smile on their face.
Speaker 1: That was a member of Clipper Nation. Congratulations against the wall.
Speaker 1: You had the Sacramento Kings going seventeen of twenty four
Speaker 1: from the free throw line. They miss seven. Seven is
Speaker 1: the number of the night. I guess this Clippers team
Speaker 1: has won seventh straight. Hear it into a Dome? They
Speaker 1: win one o four to eighty eight over the Sacramento Kings.
Speaker 1: They're heading out on the road. More on that in
Speaker 1: your final box score coming up next. Right here on
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Downlis, I.
Speaker 6: Love this team. I never miss a game.
Speaker 4: You're listening to LA Clippers basketball free ball. Yes, right
Speaker 4: here on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Clippers win one oh four to eighty eight. Hear it
Speaker 1: into a Dome, seventh straight victory in your new home,
Speaker 1: your first home, Clipper Nation. Patch yourself on the back
Speaker 1: if you were here making noise and affected the Sacramento
Speaker 1: Kings who missed seven free throws. Remember the Golden State
Speaker 1: Warriors miss ten just a couple of games ago. It's working.
Speaker 1: See Bomber's a genius. Clippers win again. They hold the
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings to their lowest point total on the season,
Speaker 1: fewest amount of points a team has scored against the
Speaker 1: Clippers since last year. That was back on March third,
Speaker 1: Clippers were in Minnesota. They won eighty nine to eighty eight.
Speaker 1: That was the Norman Pow windmill dunk to secure it
Speaker 1: for the Clippers, whereas teammates were like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's too close up a game for that late. No,
Speaker 1: Norman Powell in this one. We'll be traveling with them
Speaker 1: out on the road as they head to Philly. Tip
Speaker 1: time for that game Sunday at three pm Pacific AF
Speaker 1: He gets the start, played well, eleven points, five of
Speaker 1: nine shooting. Derek Jones Jr. Carlo Jimenez's player to watch.
Speaker 1: I'll give it to him, seventeen points, six of thirteen,
Speaker 1: got downhill, got some easy ones, even though he missed
Speaker 1: from distance. Overall efficient out there. If it's a Zubas
Speaker 1: that stretch of the third quarter, I was a little
Speaker 1: bit concerned for this reason. He plays eight minutes in
Speaker 1: the third quarter, the Kings are making their run, and
Speaker 1: if he's a Zubas, didn't get one shot up in
Speaker 1: the third quarter. Unless my box score is just wrong,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna double check on that, because this screen may
Speaker 1: be frozen over here. He's still finished with ten and
Speaker 1: fifteen in the game. Big Zoo with the double double.
Speaker 1: Chris Dunn set the tone. The deflections, a couple of deflections,
Speaker 1: a couple of steals in the first couple of minutes,
Speaker 1: and the Clippers held them to twelve points in the
Speaker 1: first quarter. Unreal. The defensive effort was Sacramento rusty rest
Speaker 1: leading to Russ. They had had three days off. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna create the Clippers defense. They've been like that. They've
Speaker 1: been that good. Kevin Porter Junior was that good. Speaking
Speaker 1: of twelve, he had twelve of his fourteen points in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. The Clippers needed all of them. I
Speaker 1: was really proud of his performers because he started oh
Speaker 1: of seven, so that means what. He hit seven of
Speaker 1: his next nine to finish the game. Mobamba, great minutes
Speaker 1: from him. I know he got in a foul trouble,
Speaker 1: but the hustle, knocked down a three pointer, had eight
Speaker 1: boards in his sixteen minutes six points. I like Mobamba
Speaker 1: with a motor who looks motivated out there. That's all
Speaker 1: they need from him. Just about twelve to fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: a night. Nico. Buttoom another fantastic game. Three three pointers.
Speaker 1: Terrence Man found him early in the fourth quarter on
Speaker 1: a kickout. Niko Batoom looks good. The last couple of games,
Speaker 1: some people were saying, oh, Nico doesn't look right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you' all sleeping. Jordan Miller got five points and thirteen minutes,
Speaker 1: got a bad foul and offensive foul what was basically
Speaker 1: a slip screen. They said he pushed off a deer
Speaker 1: and fox who got a few calls in the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter to no avail. Clippers went anyways. They only turned
Speaker 1: the ball over twelve times. They had fifty six points
Speaker 1: in the paint. They had sixteen second chance points, sixteen
Speaker 1: fast break points. Both those totals, both those numbers better
Speaker 1: than the Sacramento Kings. And oh yeah, they outscored the
Speaker 1: Kings thirty nine to nine in bench scoring. Take that
Speaker 1: for data. Clippers have won seven in a row here
Speaker 1: at the Dome, four in a row overall. They're heading
Speaker 1: out on the road tip time in Philly. No Paul
Speaker 1: George in that game, unfortunately. We'll keep you update on
Speaker 1: the Clippers talk side on whether Joel Embiid will be available.
Speaker 1: They only got three wins on the season, but a
Speaker 1: big game pregame starts at two right back here on
Speaker 1: Sunday outside of Los Angeles. We are leaving you until then,
Speaker 1: but coming up next here on m FI seventy LA
Speaker 1: Sports and on the YouTube live side, we got Clippers.
Speaker 3: Talk and with that, just like that, another Clipper broadcast
Speaker 3: is ended.
Speaker 4: Chudging, This has been Clippers Locker Road, a postgame look
Speaker 4: at today's.
Speaker 2: Every game all season long.
Speaker 4: Thank you for joining us for all the action on
Speaker 4: the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Voning in.
Speaker 2: We're taking your calls on the LA Clippers right now.
Speaker 3: This is Clippers Talk on Aaron on Demand, the Clippers
Speaker 3: Show of Record. Your chance to react to everything.
Speaker 2: Clippers Clippers news happens.
Speaker 3: Let me guess it's about Kawhi. Here we are and
Speaker 3: now here. He is the host of your LA Clippers
Speaker 3: pre and postgame.
Speaker 2: At follow Adam a Adam Osley.
Speaker 1: Clippers are victorious. They win one, four to eighty eight
Speaker 1: over the Sacramento Kings. They win and make it their
Speaker 1: seventh straight victory. Here into it Dome. I'm Adam Oslin.
Speaker 1: Welcome into Clippers Talk. Coming up, I believe we have
Speaker 1: Will Updyke coming on from Clips and Dip. He called
Speaker 1: a shot earlier today. I said, Chuck, Will who's coming
Speaker 1: on with me later tonight? So Will Updyke said, I'm in.
Speaker 1: I guess that means it was going to be a
Speaker 1: Clippers victory. It was Chuck joked that I guess I
Speaker 1: gotta start gambling and betting because if will Updyke says
Speaker 1: he's in, that means it's got to be a Clipper's victory.
Speaker 1: He only comes on after Clippers wins. So we'll have
Speaker 1: some clips and double dip for you after another spectacular
Speaker 1: victory by your Los Angeles Clippers, who did it on
Speaker 1: the defensive end with really a historic performance in the first half.
Speaker 1: You hold a team to twenty nine points in this
Speaker 1: day and age, a top ten offense, an offense that
Speaker 1: was ranked sixth coming into this game, the Sacramento Kinks,
Speaker 1: and you hold them to twenty nine points twenty nine
Speaker 1: twenty four minutes in. That's unimaginable in today's NBA, unfathomed
Speaker 1: that never happens. In fact, it's the lowest first half
Speaker 1: by any team so far this season, any team in
Speaker 1: a game. Clippers did it. The defense is legit, it's elite.
Speaker 1: It's like that we've been talking about it, and guess what,
Speaker 1: they don't even have Kawhi Leonard yet, a two time
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year. That's scary. Hashtag JVG for
Speaker 1: MVP I've been saying it since I don't know Game two.
Speaker 1: Jeff Van Gundy has these guys locked in, focused and
Speaker 1: creating a suffocating defense out there each and every night,
Speaker 1: each in every possession. Tonight. I know Sacktown got it
Speaker 1: together in the third quarter, but this was something where
Speaker 1: the Clippers were so good on the defensive end start
Speaker 1: things off first twenty four minutes. It put the Kings
Speaker 1: in such a hole. They were completely out of rhythm
Speaker 1: and they looked like a team maybe that had been
Speaker 1: off for three days straight. Maybe it wasn't just the
Speaker 1: Clippers defense, but you want to talk about a culture shock.
Speaker 1: You get back to playing basketball after being off for
Speaker 1: three days and you got to go up against this defense.
Speaker 1: That's a problem, and the Clippers have been creating a
Speaker 1: lot of them. Unbelievable performance. I'm telling you one of
Speaker 1: the best defensive performances I've ever seen. Near perfect defense.
Speaker 1: In the first half. Sacktown missed some shots, they missed
Speaker 1: some looks. The Clippers made decisions who to guard, who
Speaker 1: to lee wide open. It worked in their favor. You
Speaker 1: gotta have a little bit of luck to hold a
Speaker 1: team to twenty nine points in the first half. But
Speaker 1: the Kings were seeing ghosts because the Clippers were everywhere defensively,
Speaker 1: So even when they were open, I don't think they
Speaker 1: felt like they were because the boss earlier they weren't.
Speaker 1: There's that residual effect when you're playing that well defensively,
Speaker 1: when you're scrambling, when you're rotating, when you're playing five
Speaker 1: guys on a string. I am so proud of this group.
Speaker 1: They're ten and seven, three games above five hundred without
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard, and they cut the turnovers in half more
Speaker 1: than just half. They had twenty five Wednesday night against Orlando,
Speaker 1: just twelve tonight, three of them in the first half,
Speaker 1: nine to the second half. They weren't as sound, but
Speaker 1: I always say twelve turnovers are less, that's a really
Speaker 1: good night. That's taking care of the basketball. The Kings
Speaker 1: were actually better in that area. They were only turning
Speaker 1: it over I think just over thirteen times per game,
Speaker 1: but the Clippers outperformed them there and they generated fifteen
Speaker 1: turnovers by Sacramento. Clippers go perfect at the free third line,
Speaker 1: sixteen of sixteen, the Kings seventeen of twenty. Past yourself
Speaker 1: on the back, Clipper Nation the wall, especially you guys
Speaker 1: were loud. It was deafening, and it affected Sacramento just
Speaker 1: like it affected the Golden State Warriors. I know this
Speaker 1: ain't the Green Monster, but Steve Balmer has created a
Speaker 1: monster with this idea. A bring the mother bleeping Ruckus
Speaker 1: type of wall college atmosphere here that yeah, is effective,
Speaker 1: is working save harbor hours. I could say that, shout
Speaker 1: out Wu tang all of them Clippers win what four
Speaker 1: to eighty eight? Here into it? Dom chat, what's up?
Speaker 1: G Master is saying, this is our year? I told you, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're seventeen games in. There is a lot to be
Speaker 1: determined here. There three games over five hundred. They're exceeding expectations.
Speaker 1: The defense is for real and the offense if they
Speaker 1: just this to me is what can happen if you
Speaker 1: just turn don't turn the basketball over. Wins like this
Speaker 1: because the Clippers didn't shoot it well, they didn't. This
Speaker 1: wasn't some night where the Clippers were hitting everything and
Speaker 1: the Kings were just cold and the Clippers weren't turning
Speaker 1: it over. No no, no, no, they weren't turning it over,
Speaker 1: but they weren't hitting shots. They shot forty one percent,
Speaker 1: They went ten to forty two from three. They got
Speaker 1: timely buckets. But this wasn't some perfect offensive performance that's
Speaker 1: an outlier that you can just throw away. No, this
Speaker 1: is a game that was muddied up with both offenses
Speaker 1: looking in net. But the Clippers defense was so much better.
Speaker 1: It took care of the ball with just three turnovers
Speaker 1: in the first half. They were so brilliant there that
Speaker 1: they outshine sack Town. And even though it got a
Speaker 1: little tight late after the Clippers led by as many
Speaker 1: as twenty five eight point game with about three minutes
Speaker 1: left ninety six eighty eight with two forty six left
Speaker 1: after his some bonus throw down, the Clippers executed. They
Speaker 1: didn't turn the ball over and over and over again
Speaker 1: like we had seen. All Right, you want to blitz
Speaker 1: James Harden, you want to bring the double team, get
Speaker 1: the basketball out of his hands. He'll find Eric Jones
Speaker 1: Junior in the short role and he'll make plays. Justin
Speaker 1: Rousseau has talked about the growth of DJ in the
Speaker 1: short role. He brought this up, I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, and how he's being used more there.
Speaker 1: It hasn't always been pretty. It paid off tonight. He's
Speaker 1: getting even better. He got in the short roll, made
Speaker 1: a good decision, got the floater to go Kevin Pord Junior.
Speaker 1: He gets a float, goat shot and KPJ with twelve
Speaker 1: of his fourteen points in the fourth quarter. Was and
Speaker 1: turned around a bad game where he started zero for seven,
Speaker 1: finished seven for his last nine, seven of sixteen, fourteen points,
Speaker 1: six boards to assists. I thought he had some really
Speaker 1: nice passes early on. I thought he had a really
Speaker 1: nice defensive play too. Quarter was that. I want to
Speaker 1: make sure I highlight this because I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people were like, oh, he's oh seven, take him
Speaker 1: out the defense on Murray to end the first quarter
Speaker 1: from him, lockdown stuff, but he was missing everything and
Speaker 1: eventually he shot himself out of it. That's confidence, that's
Speaker 1: believing in your game, set it postgame. But this game
Speaker 1: from Kevin Porter Junior has felt like a micro cosmo
Speaker 1: of the season. Starts slow, finish strong. After the first
Speaker 1: six games, coming into this one, he's been shooting forty
Speaker 1: seven percent from the field tonight start so off seven.
Speaker 1: What is uh seven to sixteen from the field field
Speaker 1: goal percentageise? I don't know if it's forty seven percentage
Speaker 1: forty four percent, but the timely buckets, big fourth quarter
Speaker 1: shots when they needed them. Tough jumper early in the
Speaker 1: fourth one leged floater got him up sixteen. A couple
Speaker 1: of possessions later, a has he lay up. He's missing
Speaker 1: threes still, but he had another play where he probed
Speaker 1: the defense and got a floater. Kept the Clippers up
Speaker 1: by around fifteen, got down to eight. Coach Lou said,
Speaker 1: we're all right, slow it down, run your offense, and
Speaker 1: they ended up running through the tape and went in
Speaker 1: by sixteen. I like this type of victory for Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Clippers. That level of defense and missshots and cold
Speaker 1: shooting from Sacramento was not sustainable. Demonta Sabonis and Dearon
Speaker 1: Fox outscored the Clippers as a team by themselves in
Speaker 1: the third quarter. After only scoring twenty nine points in
Speaker 1: the first half, those two had twenty six of their
Speaker 1: thirty five points in the third. The Clippers only had
Speaker 1: twenty five points in the third quarter. We knew they
Speaker 1: were going to make a run. Basically a top five offense,
Speaker 1: which they've been for years now. They're good, They're really good.
Speaker 1: Sabonis was back. DeMar Derozen was back. He couldn't hit
Speaker 1: a three, but he got to the free throw line,
Speaker 1: only went four of eight, six of nineteen overall, but
Speaker 1: Sabonis and Fox started to pick it up. I think
Speaker 1: Vanderon Fox had twenty five points in the second half.
Speaker 1: He can do that. They can catch fire. The Clippers
Speaker 1: answered with enough shots. Clippers win seventh straight. Hear it
Speaker 1: into it, dumb finals, one o four to eighty eight
Speaker 1: over the Sacramento Kings. We'll take a quick time out.
Speaker 1: We'll come back. We'll get back to your phone calls.
Speaker 1: If anybody in the chat wants to call in. Since
Speaker 1: I know you guys just like hiding here anonymously, you
Speaker 1: can still just give a fake name when you call in.
Speaker 1: The man's big deal. Eight six six nine eight seven
Speaker 1: two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two
Speaker 1: five seventy Seymour Butts, you're up next. I'm out a
Speaker 1: mazle and you're listening to the Los Angeles Clippers Audio
Speaker 1: network at AMPI seventy LA Sports taking calls. Next.
Speaker 6: I love this team. I never miss a game.
Speaker 4: You're listening to LA Clippers basketball three ball, Yes, sir,
Speaker 4: right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: How many games in a row are you gonna win
Speaker 1: it into a Dome? Seven? Four straight wins overall Clippers
Speaker 1: one oh four Kings eighty eight is your final and
Speaker 1: an into it Dome Cup affair here on a Friday night,
Speaker 1: Clippers won and one so far and their group A
Speaker 1: play in the Emirs Cup. I'm to Oslin, welcome back
Speaker 1: in This is Clippers Talk. Eight six six nine eight
Speaker 1: seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven
Speaker 1: two five seventy. Let's see what we got here? Chat?
Speaker 1: What's up? Thirteen rows in the swell? We were talking
Speaker 1: about an off air on the YouTube live side, but
Speaker 1: wondering how many rows there were in the swell? And
Speaker 1: that is the supporters section? Is that true? The section
Speaker 1: that caused the Sacramento Kings to go seventeen of twenty
Speaker 1: four from the free throw line. Kings looked downright rattled
Speaker 1: going against the wall in the first half. Let's not
Speaker 1: even talk about just the free throws that were missed
Speaker 1: the wall and them having to shoot against that basket.
Speaker 1: They're lucky they didn't have to do it in the
Speaker 1: second half too. Overall, in the first half, the King
Speaker 1: shot ten of forty one from the field, twenty four percent,
Speaker 1: two of seventeen from three seven of eleven from the
Speaker 1: free throw line. They were completely out of source, discombobulated,
Speaker 1: wrecked Clipper nation. I'd say stand up, but I know
Speaker 1: everybody in the wall already was patch yourself on the back.
Speaker 1: Fabulous job all four games, every game so far heard
Speaker 1: into a dome where the Clippers are establishing that home
Speaker 1: court advantage. All right, what's happening in the chat here?
Speaker 1: What are we talking about? Guys? All I saw was
Speaker 1: beast wars. Don't get me talking about Cheetah or any
Speaker 1: of those guys. Uh Jay said, I guess some people
Speaker 1: are having trouble calling when you're in Egypt eight six
Speaker 1: six ninety eight seven two five seventy. What's up? Gonza
Speaker 1: talks eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventies
Speaker 1: of the phone number if you'd like to call in,
Speaker 1: I don't know how you do that internationally? Is a
Speaker 1: sprint still a thing? Can you call collect? Does that
Speaker 1: stuff work? Miss Shakes is in here? Say yeah? They
Speaker 1: looked all over the place. They were not ready for us.
Speaker 1: Zacherman know what shook they were. I'm interested to hear
Speaker 1: what they'll say postgame, because I think that was jarring
Speaker 1: for them. There hasn't been in an arena in the
Speaker 1: league like this before. God blessed Steve Boehmer. James Harden
Speaker 1: did say this post game. I don't know if this
Speaker 1: is an update. I guess it is. James Harden said
Speaker 1: quote this comes from Lomarie of the Athletic quote. Kawhai
Speaker 1: is going to be ready when Kawhi is ready. Maybe
Speaker 1: That's what I'll just say from now on when people
Speaker 1: ask me about Kawhi. Kawai will be ready when Kawhi
Speaker 1: is ready, hopefully sooner than later. But Slippers team is
Speaker 1: playing great. They haven't had Norman Powell the last two games,
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, and yes they are undefeated in the Mobamba
Speaker 1: era of Clippers basketball. Four h he started off as
Speaker 1: a Clipper on this home stand. How did everybody feel
Speaker 1: about the red jerseys? Because I kind of want to
Speaker 1: see him more often after a win like this. Right.
Speaker 1: I don't believe in good luck, charms and jinxes and
Speaker 1: fate and kids met and all these things, but I
Speaker 1: like this jersey, and I don't know they played well
Speaker 1: on them. Sometimes look good, feel good, play good. I
Speaker 1: think Dion coined that, but the Clippers are going out
Speaker 1: on the road now, are they taking the Red Jerseys
Speaker 1: with them? First game in Philadelphia on Sunday? No, Paul
Speaker 1: George sounds like no Joel embiid Clippers versus Tyrese Maxi,
Speaker 1: who got hurt hearing into it Dome against the Clippers
Speaker 1: with that hamstring injury. He's been back the last couple
Speaker 1: of games. They once tonight over Brooklyn, people talking about
Speaker 1: the Red Jerseys saying I love the Red Jerseys. Larissa,
Speaker 1: we got stump in the chat saying I love the
Speaker 1: Red Jerseys. Ross said, like the Red Jerseys didn't love it?
Speaker 1: Isn't that the order at cold Stone? Deal like it?
Speaker 1: Or do you love it? If you love it, you
Speaker 1: get a bigger order. This is yeah, not exactly a
Speaker 1: polarizing jersey. Everybody at least likes them, most loved them.
Speaker 1: Red is back for the first time since the twenty
Speaker 1: sixteen to twenty seventeen season. Had the Kings seeing red.
Speaker 1: Oh they were angry, challenging calls DeMar Derosen with the
Speaker 1: technical They didn't like that feisty brand of basketball by
Speaker 1: the Clippers. I think it's a culture shock. Nobody else
Speaker 1: was playing defense like this. Nobody else has swarming you
Speaker 1: like this. So you get into a game against them,
Speaker 1: you're just unprepared for it. It is difficult to settle
Speaker 1: into a ballgame. Eventually, they got it going in the
Speaker 1: third quarter. Maybe the Clippers took their foot off the
Speaker 1: gas a little bit. I think the Clippers were also
Speaker 1: due or excuse me, the Kings were also due to
Speaker 1: shoot better. The Clippers defense wasn't gonna hold up or
Speaker 1: hold a team of twenty nine points in the second
Speaker 1: half as well. The rest has said I really like
Speaker 1: the red jersey, okay, something in between eleven and alike.
Speaker 1: Ros said, loll okay, I loved it. There we go,
Speaker 1: There we go. I love them. Are they on sale yet?
Speaker 1: You guys know, I'm interested to know, just a guy
Speaker 1: looking for a Redivisa Zubash jersey. Uh Tyo Ramirez said no.
Speaker 1: PG thirteen. Yep, he's injured. He will not be playing
Speaker 1: on Sunday. He reaggravated the same injury hyper extended to
Speaker 1: the left knee, which is now the third time that
Speaker 1: has happened in the last two years, but twice now
Speaker 1: going back to the preseason with Philadelphia. And then a
Speaker 1: couple of games ago in the regular season. It is unfortunate,
Speaker 1: Stump said, James Harden took too many threes. That bothered me. Well,
Speaker 1: the threes have not been falling for him. Another inefficient
Speaker 1: night doesn't matter. Five of eighteen, two of ten from three,
Speaker 1: But James Harden was making plays late. There is a
Speaker 1: reason for anyone who wants to hate on James Harden.
Speaker 1: Why is it that team's double blitz trap him and
Speaker 1: do everything they can to get the ball out of
Speaker 1: his hands. It's almost like they know how talented he is,
Speaker 1: and he still had nine assists four turnovers led them in.
Speaker 1: The plus minus was a plus fourteen in is thirty
Speaker 1: six minutes. Derek Jones Jr. Carlo Jmenez his player to
Speaker 1: watch seventeen points, big Zoo with ten and fifteen. Here's
Speaker 1: what I didn't like, though, I want to say, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna double check this right now, but Iviatza Zubos
Speaker 1: did not get up a shot in the third quarter
Speaker 1: in eight minutes win the Sacramento Kings were making a
Speaker 1: big run. I didn't like the shot selection or the
Speaker 1: process by the Clippers offensively in that third quarter. If
Speaker 1: I'm gonna nitpick something. It's that because they were taking
Speaker 1: a lot of jumpers, a lot of threes. Some of
Speaker 1: them were open, fine, but they were getting zero easy
Speaker 1: looks and a Vitza Zubats did not attempt a shot
Speaker 1: in the third in eight minutes. He came into the
Speaker 1: third four of six from the field. He left the
Speaker 1: third four to six from the field. That just can't happen.
Speaker 1: That's zumlpractice. I can't take it. When you have a
Speaker 1: guy that can get you easy buckets and you're struggling
Speaker 1: that much offensively, you got to give him the damn ball.
Speaker 1: You have to DeRozan, Fox and the Bonus combined for
Speaker 1: sixty nine points. The rest of the King's nineteen points total.
Speaker 1: Murray had ten. They got destroyed. When it came to
Speaker 1: bench scoring, the Clippers outscored them by thirty thirty nine
Speaker 1: to nine. When it came to bench scoring, they outscored
Speaker 1: him by twenty in points in the paint fifty six
Speaker 1: to thirty six. Clips. Only twelve turnovers tonight after twenty
Speaker 1: five on Wednesday, only three turnovers in the fourth quarter, though,
Speaker 1: I like seeing that. So they had what's five in
Speaker 1: the third quarter, season high thirteen steals. They got eleven
Speaker 1: and three record under coach lou when they get thirteen
Speaker 1: or more steals in games. Season high thirteen steals, it
Speaker 1: felt like more. The deflections that were coming in the
Speaker 1: first quarter created by Chris Donn just insane stuff. Honestly,
Speaker 1: he is a all world defensive specialist. I would say
Speaker 1: all NBA First Team hold up the finger like Patrick
Speaker 1: Beverley used to when he wanted to let everyone know.
Speaker 1: I think you should start doing that. We'll take a
Speaker 1: quick time out, we'll come back. We'll have Will Updike
Speaker 1: gone from clips and dip. I'm Adam Moslin. Clippers win
Speaker 1: over the Sacramento Kings. Here's a stat. This just came
Speaker 1: from Carlo Jimenez from stat Mus. Harden tonight with twenty
Speaker 1: two to five, eight assists, three steals. Only Kate Cunningham
Speaker 1: has more ten to five and five games so far
Speaker 1: this season. Clippers win one O four to eighty eight
Speaker 1: over the Kings. And you're listening to Clippers Talk. You're
Speaker 1: on the M five seventy LA spours.
Speaker 6: I love this team. I never miss a game.
Speaker 3: You're listening to LA Clippers basketball free ball.
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Clippers win one four to eighty eight over the Sacramento Kings.
Speaker 1: Hear it into a dome? I met, I am Oslin,
Speaker 1: Welcome back in. This is the official postgame show of
Speaker 1: you Los Angeles Clippers. It's Clippers Talk still to come.
Speaker 1: We'll get some phone calls here. In fact, we'll get
Speaker 1: to somebody on the super Secret Celebrity hotline. Right now.
Speaker 1: You hear the music the Clippers won. You know what
Speaker 1: that means? Big will Updyke is in effect tonight after
Speaker 1: the Clippers get another victory, herod into a dome, make
Speaker 1: it seventh straight? Will you called your shot earlier today?
Speaker 1: You said you were coming on tonight. You might as
Speaker 1: well have just said the Clippers are gonna win?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 8: No, I mean there's never a doubt from me.
Speaker 1: This is our year, and there was never a doubt
Speaker 1: coming into this one that the Clippers are going to win.
Speaker 8: Did it look like it was not our year tonight?
Speaker 1: I can't disagree with that. It did not look like
Speaker 1: it was not our year tonight. Well, what were you
Speaker 1: most impressed with? Because I don't know if I've ever
Speaker 1: seen a twenty nine point first half by a team
Speaker 1: before I know what's happened. I know what's happening against.
Speaker 8: That can only be attributed to one thing, so we
Speaker 8: know that that's for real.
Speaker 1: This Clippers defense, they've been good, but I don't know
Speaker 1: how much of it was Sacramento missing shots combined with
Speaker 1: the Clippers defense. I want to say it was all
Speaker 1: the Clippers, but I think that would be disingenuous, or
Speaker 1: I think that would be an exaggeration at least. I still, though,
Speaker 1: think that when teams come in here, especially into it Dome,
Speaker 1: there's just a real culture shot going on. Like they
Speaker 1: aren't used to a wall, they aren't used to a
Speaker 1: swarming defense like this. They see, you know, the roster
Speaker 1: of the Clippers, and they're probably not expecting this level
Speaker 1: of defense, and it almost throws them off.
Speaker 3: I think, oh, it.
Speaker 8: Definitely throws them off. I mean, and Chris Dunn did
Speaker 8: a great job on de Aaron Fox, as did Derreck
Speaker 8: Jones Junior. But the real standout to me, I mean,
Speaker 8: you know, we've talked about the Clippers defense. I'm sure
Speaker 8: we're gonna continue talking about all season, but the standout
Speaker 8: to me tonight was the phenomenal bench play for the
Speaker 8: Clippers just remarkably consistent. Kevin Porter Junior looked incredible. Lobomba
Speaker 8: came in in that third quarter when the Clippers really
Speaker 8: needed a little shot in the arm, and he was
Speaker 8: just that they just got They got something out of
Speaker 8: everybody in the rotation tonight, and I think that that
Speaker 8: was I mean, that was a huge difference between between
Speaker 8: the two teams.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really like what we've seen from Obama so far.
Speaker 1: I know he had five fouls, but he started the
Speaker 1: second quarter with an offensive rebounds and got it to
Speaker 1: patomb for a three point. That happened a couple of times.
Speaker 1: Zubats also had an offensive rebound that ended up in
Speaker 1: a made three. They were creating some extra possessions out there.
Speaker 1: But the energy Mobamba is providing, the knock on him
Speaker 1: has always been motor. So far, so good in that
Speaker 1: area with the Clippers.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I think it's it's gonna come down
Speaker 8: to like too much of a good thing, you know
Speaker 8: what I mean. I think as long as his stints
Speaker 8: are kind of optimized, I think that he can provide
Speaker 8: that we'll see, you know, should he have to play
Speaker 8: any longer stretches, If he can hold that up. But
Speaker 8: I like what we're seeing so far. The fouls are
Speaker 8: pretty understandable, you know, coming back from injury. I'm sure
Speaker 8: he's a little over eager, especially in this new role,
Speaker 8: so I'm not I'm not too worried about that. Hopefully
Speaker 8: that'll get smooth out. But yeah, he's been another shining
Speaker 8: light on this bench when with no Norm Powell, for
Speaker 8: guys to step up like this, it's just incredible.
Speaker 1: I also felt like there were some teaching moments late
Speaker 1: that actually worked out in the clippers favor. I know
Speaker 1: some people just want to see him blow them out
Speaker 1: by twenty five, and that would be great, and it's
Speaker 1: a Cup game and point differential matters, but I think
Speaker 1: it was good. They got it down to eight point
Speaker 1: Sacramento and the Clippers actually had to out execute late
Speaker 1: and they weren't turning the basketball over and they were
Speaker 1: handling the blitzes coming at James hard and much better.
Speaker 1: And they pulled through and I think scored like eight
Speaker 1: straight points or something like that to win by sixteen.
Speaker 1: That execution was solid when it had to be.
Speaker 8: Look, I think against a team certainly a talented as
Speaker 8: the Kings, this is about as comfortable as you can
Speaker 8: hope for a Clippers win sort of this season, especially
Speaker 8: considering no Norm Powell in the lineup, obviously no Kawhi
Speaker 8: Leonard all year. I don't think that's anything to get
Speaker 8: upset about that we didn't completely run them off the court.
Speaker 8: They were always going to get back into this game
Speaker 8: sort of regardless of what the Clippers did those third
Speaker 8: quarters in general, is something that we need to take
Speaker 8: a look at, you know, moving forward, because we have
Speaker 8: seen a lot of leads kind of dwindled away from
Speaker 8: this Clippers team. But tonight they were able to hold
Speaker 8: on the weather, the storm, they kept the defensive intensity,
Speaker 8: They somehow managed to survive like three almost three full
Speaker 8: scoreless minutes in that third quarter while Sacramento finally got
Speaker 8: their legs underneath them despite having more rest. It was
Speaker 8: I mean, this was a wired to wire win for
Speaker 8: the for what the Clippers are this year, Like this
Speaker 8: is this is a comfortable This is what a comfortable
Speaker 8: win looks like for this sort of ram shackle squad.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like the way you put that, Big Wilson. This
Speaker 1: is a comfortable as comfortable as a win can look
Speaker 1: with this team. It makes sense to me. What did
Speaker 1: you make of the performance by Kevin Ford Junior, who
Speaker 1: started out zero for seven. He had a couple of
Speaker 1: nice assists and a nice defensive play, but he couldn't
Speaker 1: hit anything, and then he had twelve points in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter alone. I feel like that's his season right now,
Speaker 1: the ups and downs, but also the slow start. And
Speaker 1: he's been coming along over the last ten or so games.
Speaker 1: Now he has played better.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he definitely has played. I mean, it's still just
Speaker 8: establishing a base consistency I feel like is difficult. But
Speaker 8: he took care of the ball. He kept shooting, which
Speaker 8: I guess we know he's gonna do anyways. But it's
Speaker 8: good that he doesn't get hesitant. I would have loved
Speaker 8: to see even one of those five three point attempts
Speaker 8: come in. My big knock on Kevin Porter is that
Speaker 8: he does slow the ball down and he kind of
Speaker 8: I'm not in love with the shots selection, and you
Speaker 8: know you've brought up the stat multiple times. He can
Speaker 8: be a catch and shoot guy. He is a somewhat
Speaker 8: efficient three point shooter over his career. I would like
Speaker 8: to see some of those shots optimize, especially when things
Speaker 8: are getting a little close for comfort. When it is
Speaker 8: a possession battle and you're a team is coming back
Speaker 8: and you have, you know, eight nine points and things
Speaker 8: are getting a little bit more tense. You would love
Speaker 8: to see him have, I don't know, just some better
Speaker 8: decision making in some of those moments. He's still young, gish,
Speaker 8: and and he has he has come a long way
Speaker 8: in his time so far this season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, the consistency has to be better than
Speaker 1: it has been. The fourth quarter, though, was at least encouraging.
Speaker 1: He had a ton of big shots for them, they
Speaker 1: didn't have much going He could create a little bit there.
Speaker 1: I think that's why coach lou that lineup of him
Speaker 1: next to James Harden next to Chris Dunn, I like
Speaker 1: it because you've got three playmakers out there, three guys
Speaker 1: that can legit pass a little bit and two of
Speaker 1: them can create for themselves. That's something we've seen over
Speaker 1: the last week or so.
Speaker 8: Yeah, totally, And I mean theoretically everybody pretty good off
Speaker 8: ball too, And there's I mean defensively. You know, Kevin
Speaker 8: Porter Junior has impressed obviously. You know, we can't talk
Speaker 8: enough about how great Done has Then you know, filling
Speaker 8: in sort of that pat that role, that that sort
Speaker 8: of defensive grit at the guards position that you know
Speaker 8: we've needed it seems like for so long. So there's
Speaker 8: not traditional sides there, but everybody can kind of defend up,
Speaker 8: which I like as well. So it definitely is an
Speaker 8: interesting lineup. I don't know that it would be a
Speaker 8: go to for me, but it's something I would like
Speaker 8: to see more of a sample size up for sure.
Speaker 1: My bad, Well, I just saw you on the video side.
Speaker 1: I put you in now. Well Will is here now
Speaker 1: on the video side. Slippers win one O four to
Speaker 1: eighty eight. Hear it into a dome over the Sacramento Kings.
Speaker 1: So how greedy can we get right now with this team? Will?
Speaker 1: Considering their three games over five hundred, they're ten and seven,
Speaker 1: it's their year. I guess you can get greedy, but
Speaker 1: a tough road trip. They're gonna finish out this month
Speaker 1: on the road. What do you want to see over
Speaker 1: the next couple Are you happy with the split in
Speaker 1: Philly and then in Boston on Monday Sunday Monday games?
Speaker 8: It just depends on what the split looks like, you know,
Speaker 8: I think the more disappointing outcome is this Philly game
Speaker 8: has all the trappings of your traditional trap game. Right
Speaker 8: all the stars are out, they're coming off, they're coming
Speaker 8: off momentum right now the Clippers stick, there's real desperate
Speaker 8: for a win, not a lot to look forward to there.
Speaker 8: So this, this to me, has all the meanings of
Speaker 8: a trap game. If we put that one away easily,
Speaker 8: I could live with a split against Boston for but
Speaker 8: I you know, this team shows up for big matchups
Speaker 8: and I'm trying to remember, like over the two to
Speaker 8: one three era, maybe even dating back a couple of
Speaker 8: years before, I feel like those two teams like Boston
Speaker 8: and Clippers have not really had a bad matchup.
Speaker 1: It feels like that, Yeah, they've always.
Speaker 8: Been like it's always an exciting game.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And even when the Clippers blew them out like
Speaker 1: they did last season, that was exciting for me at least,
Speaker 1: I don't know how Boston felt about it. But last
Speaker 1: one for you here will uh this team being three
Speaker 1: games about five hundred without Kawhi Leonard. Everybody keeps talking
Speaker 1: about without normOn Palace and I without normOn Powell the
Speaker 1: last two games, like who's the MVP of this team?
Speaker 3: So far.
Speaker 8: Man. That's so tough to me because part of me
Speaker 8: I think it's still got to be James Harden. It's
Speaker 8: got to be James Harden for what he's doing. I
Speaker 8: know that the efficiency hasn't been there, but he like
Speaker 8: the minute fload that he's playing, initiating everything. It's so huge.
Speaker 8: But there's been so many guys like it's it would
Speaker 8: be easy for me to say Zubos just because of
Speaker 8: the steps forward that he had to take, and he
Speaker 8: did take, you know, I mean, and Norm Obviously he's
Speaker 8: not playing right now. But you could tell me any
Speaker 8: one of those guys here MVP, and I couldn't really,
Speaker 8: I couldn't fault you for it. They're all m vts.
Speaker 1: How a lot of people, of course they're saying, Jeff
Speaker 1: van Gundhy, I guess when you have a team that
Speaker 1: collectively is coming together like this, there's not one guy.
Speaker 8: You said m VP, that player that implies player.
Speaker 1: I mean Jeff Van Gundhy back of the day, Big Top,
Speaker 1: all right, he is Bill Big Will Updyke from Clips
Speaker 1: and Dip. This has been another episode of Clips and
Speaker 1: Double Dip here on Clippers Talk will say for coming
Speaker 1: on Late Night here after the Clippers big victory over Sacramento.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, man any time, hopefully two more. Hopefully we have
Speaker 8: two more coming up on the Rodeo.
Speaker 1: Let's go. Final segment coming up next before we get out.
Speaker 1: At the top of the hour, Clippers win one four
Speaker 1: to eighty eight over the Sacramento Kings. Here it into it,
Speaker 1: homb I'm out of Oslin and you're listening to a
Speaker 1: five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 6: I love this team. I never miss a game.
Speaker 4: You're listening to LA Clippers basketball free ball, Yes, sir,
Speaker 4: right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Clippers win by sixteen over the Kings in an end
Speaker 1: season tournament game. This beautiful blue court. I know at
Speaker 1: times if you ain't got a nice four K television,
Speaker 1: it may not translate so well, but you love it
Speaker 1: in person. And Clipper Nation was here. They showed up
Speaker 1: in a big way, especially at the wall. Just reckon
Speaker 1: Sacramento's free throw shooting. Oh, they're the best frethrow shooting
Speaker 1: team in the league when it comes to free throws percentage,
Speaker 1: and they went seven of twenty four. I'm autam mosl on.
Speaker 1: This is Clipperstock final segment Here, Mitch and your Belinda,
Speaker 1: mitche're on clipperstot without of Austen.
Speaker 7: Hey, Adam talking MVP, it's gotta be Kawhi Leonard sitting
Speaker 7: on that bench, letting these boys play, letting them develop. Well,
Speaker 7: how are we gonna do it like we started at
Speaker 7: the top with defense? Third time we've held three opponents
Speaker 7: straight under one hundred in the ty lu Era. That's amazing, Adam.
Speaker 7: We should feel good about that. Last time we did
Speaker 7: it more twenty seventeen. Check us out defense, Wams.
Speaker 1: I'm out Mitch and your Belinda saying Kawhi is the
Speaker 1: MVP for not playing right now and letting these guys
Speaker 1: figure it out. I think he's was being serious and
Speaker 1: not sarcastic because he knows when Kawhi comes back, they're
Speaker 1: gonna be that much better because guys have gotten experience
Speaker 1: and more run out there? Do we have Jose and
Speaker 1: south Kate Kitty in Southgate who I think has been
Speaker 1: in the chat. Jose, what's up here on Clippers soft
Speaker 1: with out of Mazand I was in the chat, Adam.
Speaker 8: I was at the game.
Speaker 3: I love this team, I love the home sweet don't
Speaker 3: a little.
Speaker 1: Mass playing the street back there?
Speaker 7: But he wants to close it out.
Speaker 8: Here we go Freddy, last time time guys, Thank you Adam.
Speaker 1: Thank you Jose Oh. That was a good way to
Speaker 1: close out this homestand a little let's go Clippers chat
Speaker 1: by jose and Southgate and his little one in the
Speaker 1: car leaving the ballgame. Victorious Clippers one oh four Kings
Speaker 1: eighty eight. Just saw this post game from Demontese Bonus.
Speaker 1: He said, quote on a Visa Zubats. Last year he
Speaker 1: was tough. This year he's he's been tougher. I still
Speaker 1: feel like there was a missed opportunity to stem the
Speaker 1: tide by going to a Vita Zubats in that third quarter.
Speaker 1: But the backups did their thing. Mobamba was shot out
Speaker 1: of a cannon and play with a ton of energy.
Speaker 1: And for them to play even to start the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: were they led by twelve heading into the fourth all
Speaker 1: second unit guys in there for the Clippers, and they
Speaker 1: played the Kings starters. Even by the time James Harden
Speaker 1: came back in it was still a twelve point lead.
Speaker 1: That was really impressive to me. That might have been
Speaker 1: the run that saved the game for this Clippers team,
Speaker 1: if I'm being honest, to start that fourth quarter because
Speaker 1: immediately Darreon Fox got to the free throw line, but
Speaker 1: then Terrence Man big layup off a KPJ assist, and
Speaker 1: then two jump shots by Kevin Porter Junior, Aniko Batoomb
Speaker 1: big three, a KPJ layup, the heavy layup critical critical
Speaker 1: buckets there, Kevin Ford Junior with three of them in
Speaker 1: the first what two minutes, just about two and a
Speaker 1: half minutes of the fourth quarter. I think that might
Speaker 1: have saved the game for the Clippers because it could
Speaker 1: have been down to a six point game by the
Speaker 1: time James Harden was rested and ready to come back in.
Speaker 1: I do want to see the advanced ratings before we
Speaker 1: get out of here and see if they change it all.
Speaker 1: Clippers are still twenty fourth offensively, but defensively they move
Speaker 1: up to fifth after this game the Sacramento Kings. Offensively,
Speaker 1: they were six heading into the game. Woh, they dropped
Speaker 1: to ninth after that Clippers defensive performance. Clippers win onezh
Speaker 1: four to eighty eight. They made it seven straight victories,
Speaker 1: heart into its home four straight overall. They're heading out
Speaker 1: on the road, long road trip, Gonna finish off the
Speaker 1: month on the road, starting in Philadelphia. Tip Time Clippers
Speaker 1: and Sixers from Philly men is at three pm on Sunday.
