Speaker 1: The La Clippers.
Speaker 2: The game is ended, gather round boys, time to recap, but.
Speaker 1: The post game coverage is just getting started.
Speaker 2: The successes the failure.
Speaker 3: Let's discuss this is Clippers locker Road breaking down today's
Speaker 3: action with the pre and post game voice of the Clippers.
Speaker 1: Here's Ada Moss.
Speaker 2: Lad Christmas came early like it's twenty twenty all over again.
Speaker 2: For the first time since December twenty fifth of twenty twenty,
Speaker 2: the Clippers are winners in Denver. They come through with
Speaker 2: a final score of one o nine to one oh four.
Speaker 2: Welcome into your postgame show. I'm at a Moslin coming
Speaker 2: up second half, highlight your postgame box score and more
Speaker 2: on Clippers Talk. But first we head back to Ball
Speaker 2: Arena with their radio voice of the Clippers in Carlo Jimenez. Well, Carlo,
Speaker 2: you gave me a text yesterday you said you got
Speaker 2: a good feeling about the Clippers winning in Denver. I
Speaker 2: gotta give you credit, my friend. I wasn't so sure,
Speaker 2: but I was sure about Normal twenty two of his
Speaker 2: thirty seven points in the fourth quarter in unbelievable performance
Speaker 2: by a guy who said it was auditioned by subtraction
Speaker 2: with some of the offseason moves going on. He showed
Speaker 2: out in this one.
Speaker 4: He was so good at him eight for nine from
Speaker 4: the field, four for four from three in that fourth quarter,
Speaker 4: and they're ridiculous, as you mentioned, twenty two points, flame
Speaker 4: thrower type stuff from Norman Powell, who we talked about
Speaker 4: all last year being mister fourth quarter and he has
Speaker 4: not skipped a beat this season at him. I thought
Speaker 4: it was an impressive, impressive game from all parts. I mean,
Speaker 4: if eats the Zuba's second straight twenty point game, first
Speaker 4: time he does that in his Clipper career. But Norman Powell,
Speaker 4: let's be honest, when the Clippers were pushed to the brinks,
Speaker 4: when their backs were against the wall, Norman Powell was
Speaker 4: the guy they called on late and he delivered in
Speaker 4: the clutch shot what was it out of fifty percent
Speaker 4: from three in the clutch last in the fourth quarter
Speaker 4: last year and he goes four for four in the
Speaker 4: fourth quarter in game two of this year.
Speaker 2: Not a bad start for Norman pal I couldn't be
Speaker 2: more proud of him. He just went iso against Jamal
Speaker 2: Murray who had no business guarding him. But the Clippers
Speaker 2: kept spamming that kept looking for the mismatch and Norman
Speaker 2: Poule took advantage of it. And then what didn't happen
Speaker 2: Wednesday night, James Harden knocking down clutch free throws late
Speaker 2: to help steal this win. And what a great defensive
Speaker 2: possession with Derrick Jones Junior out there, because if Ittazubas
Speaker 2: was on the bench and they found something with Derek
Speaker 2: Jones Junior guarding Nikola Jokic forced him into that double plump,
Speaker 2: double clutch three pointer, couldn't get to go. Clippers won
Speaker 2: the ball game. An amazing victory for this crew.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you just see the versatility of somebody like Dereck
Speaker 4: Jones Junior because of that wingspan at him at seven
Speaker 4: to two, he can be in the face of big
Speaker 4: guys like Nikol Jokic on the outside, able to stay
Speaker 4: with him. I thought his defense is rebounding in this
Speaker 4: one was huge for the Clippers. Once again, the Clippers
Speaker 4: out rebound their opponent forty four to thirty seven. He
Speaker 4: was so fun to watch Derreck Jones Junior excel on
Speaker 4: that end once again. He's able to knock down a three.
Speaker 4: But Adam, I think we were miss James Harden sixteen assists.
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me? He only shoots it eleven times,
Speaker 4: but that's because his impact passing the ball was so
Speaker 4: so big. Denver wanted to take away Harden's offense. Well,
Speaker 4: you can't take away the ball movement, and the Clippers
Speaker 4: capitalize almost every time he moved the rock. So fun
Speaker 4: to watch him distribute and run this offense. He is
Speaker 4: just second to none when it comes to initiating offense.
Speaker 2: And Clipper Nation. Mind you, this Denver Nuggets team was
Speaker 2: looking to bounce back. They had this one circled after
Speaker 2: a fifteen point loss opening night at home to the
Speaker 2: OKC thunder. You got their best shot. You got a
Speaker 2: game where Nikolo Jokich dropped forty one on them, but
Speaker 2: only for assists. We talked about in the pregame, We
Speaker 2: talked about it late in the ball game. They held
Speaker 2: him to being a one dimensional player. Was his greatness there, yes,
Speaker 2: but they didn't let him get everybody else going as
Speaker 2: well as the second leading scorer for them was Jamal Murray.
Speaker 2: And outside of that, they just didn't have that many
Speaker 2: contributors and guys who found a rhythm. And the Clippers
Speaker 2: holding them to one hundred and four points total, just
Speaker 2: flexing their defense. It really showed against a quality basketball team,
Speaker 2: yet in their house in Denver, couldn't be more oppressed
Speaker 2: by this group.
Speaker 4: It is such an impressive win, Adam, because I don't
Speaker 4: think we expected this team to be looking this fluid,
Speaker 4: this connected, this early in the season, and I think
Speaker 4: a lot of that credit has to go to James Harden.
Speaker 4: He said he was in the facility a month and
Speaker 4: a half before training camp started. Jeff angunny also when
Speaker 4: they're working on the defensive tendencies, working on their skills
Speaker 4: on the offensive and how he's gonna run pick and
Speaker 4: roll with somebody like Aviats' Zubot who finishes with twenty
Speaker 4: four fifteen and four assists. The Clippers looked like a
Speaker 4: team that had been playing two to three years together today,
Speaker 4: but the impressiveness of them to connect and Joe quickly obviously,
Speaker 4: so many positives to take away from this game. And
Speaker 4: you got another one on tomorrow at five o'clock against
Speaker 4: Golden State to try to keep it going. But a
Speaker 4: fun one, no doubt, a gritty Clippers win. And Adam,
Speaker 4: if there's one thing I've noticed about this Clipper team
Speaker 4: through two games, they fight. They fight on every single
Speaker 4: possession and anytime he got a team that is going
Speaker 4: to fight for every single possession, that's a fun team
Speaker 4: to root for.
Speaker 2: And you talked about it late in the ballgame. Who
Speaker 2: had the white board in his hands, It was Jeff
Speaker 2: Van Gundy to formulate that final defensive possession. There guys
Speaker 2: were in position. They made the right call. They didn't
Speaker 2: want to foul, they didn't want to extend the game.
Speaker 2: They knew they could lock down on the Denver Nuggets late.
Speaker 2: They did so. And how about Big Zoo. Congratulations to
Speaker 2: the big man who has taken a lot of heat
Speaker 2: from a faction of Clipper Nation over the years. Well,
Speaker 2: he has been unleash. Now he's getting his big opportunity.
Speaker 2: For the first time in his career. He has had
Speaker 2: back to back twenty point games. He just needed the opportunity.
Speaker 2: He finally got it. He showed what he could do
Speaker 2: against Jokich once again. Twenty four and fifteen total. Couldn't
Speaker 2: be happier for he and Norman Powell in this one.
Speaker 4: Those two guys who have been fighting in klawn to
Speaker 4: be a bigger part of this offense at him and
Speaker 4: because of last year's group. When you think about the
Speaker 4: four Hall of Famers, didn't really get the same opportunity
Speaker 4: that they're getting this year. And you mentioned it, and
Speaker 4: I thought it was really poetic. But Norman pal said,
Speaker 4: addition by subtraction. And there were a lot of people
Speaker 4: in the media who scratched their heads, shook their head,
Speaker 4: didn't agree. But one a performance today thirty seven points,
Speaker 4: three rebounds, seven for eleven from downtown. It might not
Speaker 4: be this every game, but you're starting to see at him.
Speaker 4: Norman Palell is coming out of the gates and he's
Speaker 4: trying to get the offense going, almost like the quickstarter
Speaker 4: for this team. He is making sure they get off
Speaker 4: to a good start on the offensive end. We talked
Speaker 4: about it right at the first minute of the ballgame.
Speaker 4: You have any problem with Norman Pal's shooting five shots
Speaker 4: in the first three minutes, Both of us said, absolutely not.
Speaker 4: He needs to be aggressive for them to be successful.
Speaker 4: He was so aggressive and quite the storm he caused
Speaker 4: here today. Storman Norman brought the rain to ball arena.
Speaker 2: Good start, great finish. Eight points in the first quarter,
Speaker 2: twenty two in the fourth quarter for Norman Powell and
Speaker 2: the Clippers. Go on to win in Denver for the
Speaker 2: first time in almost four years with a final of
Speaker 2: one o nine to one oh four over the Denver Nuggets.
Speaker 2: Carlo Jimenez will see it in San Francisco tomorrow night.
Speaker 2: No rest for the weary Clippers. Take it out of
Speaker 2: the Golden State Warriors. This was the front end of
Speaker 2: a back to back, their first back to back of
Speaker 2: the season, and the Clippers were victorious. Great call by you,
Speaker 2: Carlo Jmenez. Talk with you tomorrow.
Speaker 4: Talk with you, Adam. We got a game tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Let's go coming up next. Second half highlights. Clippers pull
Speaker 2: through late against Nikolajokisch and the Denver Nuggets. They win
Speaker 2: one O nine to one O four in Denver, and
Speaker 2: you're listening to the Los Angeles Clippers audio network throws.

Speaker 2: have Clippers talk on the Patriot AM eleven fifty eight
Speaker 2: seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven
Speaker 2: five two zero eleven fifty is the phone number. But
Speaker 2: right now. Second half highlights. The Clippers had an eighteen
Speaker 2: point lead at one point in the first half, but
Speaker 2: Danver made a big push towards the end of the
Speaker 2: second quarter. Clippers led by just six at forty eight
Speaker 2: to forty two. Then in that third quarter they scrapped.
Speaker 2: And when I mean scrap, I'm talking about Chris Dunn smoke.
Speaker 4: Back to done left corner in front of his bench.
Speaker 2: A three yes, sir, Chris Dunn from.
Speaker 4: Downtown Coffee, right corner, done times the baseline with seven
Speaker 4: to shoot, spins on sarch or right block lamp off
Speaker 4: the window, and then Chris Doun a double bi sept flex.
Speaker 2: Chris Dune was doing the little things out there and
Speaker 2: getting some buckets. I was impressed by him looking for
Speaker 2: his offense, calling for the basketball, asking for it when
Speaker 2: he was open for a far side corner three. That's
Speaker 2: what they need from him. Stay aggressive offensively right now,
Speaker 2: And in that third quarter, Chris Dunn ended up coming
Speaker 2: through with five points. They were big ones. As the
Speaker 2: Clippers were reeling a little bit, the Denver Nuggets had
Speaker 2: them on their heels. Nikola Jokich started to get it
Speaker 2: going and the Clippers were down seventy one to seventy
Speaker 2: heading into the fourth quarter. But in the fourth, mister
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, the leader of the Powell Rangers last season,
Speaker 2: Norman Powell, was back at it. In clutch time.
Speaker 4: Finds Norman Powell curling around the screen, shovels to Zoo
Speaker 4: right back to Norm, dribbles the left and the tax
Speaker 4: the baseline gets fouled, banks it in.
Speaker 1: They're gonna count it. Plus the contact.
Speaker 4: Norman Powell was seventeen and the chance were one more
Speaker 4: Gophers out rebound Norm into the left corner. He's a
Speaker 4: wide open triple. Yes, Norman pal rattles it in due

Speaker 4: of space, throws at the coffee, finds Norm right angle
Speaker 4: a three yees Snorman Pale, can.
Speaker 1: You believe it?
Speaker 2: Storman Norman ask for the opportunity, wanted to be in
Speaker 2: the starting lineup. This is something he has been waiting
Speaker 2: for since he got to the Clippers, and he got
Speaker 2: right back to being able to do what he does best,
Speaker 2: which is closing out ball games. After struggling on Wednesday,
Speaker 2: going one of seven from three, he hit seven threes,
Speaker 2: go seven of eleven from distance fourteen of twenty one
Speaker 2: from the field and had twenty two of his thirty
Speaker 2: seven points to lead everyone, or at least on the Clippers,
Speaker 2: and to lead them to victory. One nine to one
Speaker 2: oh four was your final storm and Norman pallin Big
Speaker 2: Zoo come through and the Clippers win for the first
Speaker 2: time in almost four years in Denver. I remember that game.
Speaker 2: Niko Batoum came through late. I was calling him Saint Nick.
Speaker 2: It was a different time, same result. Clippers winn in
Speaker 2: Denver for the first time since December twenty fifth of

Speaker 2: got the double clutch on the three pointer from Nikolajokich
Speaker 2: late to miss. The Clippers would head to the charity stripe.

Speaker 2: is the phone number if you'd like to get on
Speaker 2: coming up on the show. We'll take you to the
Speaker 2: bottom of the hour. We'll Updyke from CND will be here.
Speaker 2: We'll get your phone calls and more. What a performance,
Speaker 2: What an incredible performance by your Los Angeles Clippers late,
Speaker 2: and what a way to turn around after a brutal,
Speaker 2: deflating loss opening nine into a dome and execute down
Speaker 2: the stretch and do what they weren't able to against
Speaker 2: the Phoenix Suns, against Denver in their house after they
Speaker 2: had just lost to the OKC thunder. You had their
Speaker 2: full attention. Nikola Jokic had forty and the Clippers still
Speaker 2: pull through as Norman Powell give them the game ball
Speaker 2: and give them those starters minutes in his thirty three
Speaker 2: he had thirty seven. He went fourteen of twenty one
Speaker 2: from the floor, in seven of eleven from distance, and
Speaker 2: had twenty two twenty two of his thirty seven points
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. Twenty two points in a game
Speaker 2: from him would have been nice. He had that in
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. Bucket after bucket, Can anybody on the
Speaker 2: YouTube side at Clippers Talk tell me what Norman Powell
Speaker 2: shot from the floor in the fourth quarter. I need
Speaker 2: to know. Did he miss a shot? Was he perfect?
Speaker 2: I just talked about this the other day on Clippers talk.
Speaker 2: As poorly as he played against Phoenix, especially late, being
Speaker 2: short up some shots, and I thought maybe it was
Speaker 2: his defense hurting his offense. This is somebody who was
Speaker 2: extremely clutched all of last season, one of the most
Speaker 2: clutch players in the league. Shooting over fifty percent from
Speaker 2: the floor in the fourth quarter, fifty percent from three.
Speaker 2: The efficiency is insane. Jay in the live chat on
Speaker 2: YouTube says, Powell for All Star. He's coming for it.
Speaker 2: This is his big opportunity. This is what we've been
Speaker 2: waiting for. What can happen if you give Norman Powell
Speaker 2: all those minutes? He said he thought Paul George Leavin
Speaker 2: opened up an opportunity for everyone else audition by subtraction. Well,
Speaker 2: he lived up to that, saying today absolutely norm was
Speaker 2: playing with something to prove out there and was a
Speaker 2: sniper and won this game for the Clippers. Now nobody
Speaker 2: does it alone, but he was matching bucket for bucket
Speaker 2: with Nikola Jokic in the fourth quarter, who I want
Speaker 2: to say had sixteen but missed that three pointer late. Ooh,
Speaker 2: believe he had more than that. I believe Nikola Jokicic
Speaker 2: is this right. He had twenty four heading in to
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter. Did Jokis just have let me get
Speaker 2: this straight? Seventeen in the fourth Katie Newton's telling me
Speaker 2: nor miss one layup in one free throw in the
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. She just checked the game log for me.
Speaker 2: Thank you, producer, Katie Kay Newton here doing work. If
Speaker 2: you want to see her station, I'll flip the computer around.
Speaker 2: If you're watching on the YouTube live side. If you're
Speaker 2: listening to us on the Patriot A eleven fifty and
Speaker 2: get to us at eight seven seven five two zero
Speaker 2: eleven fifty. If you enjoy watching, check it out on
Speaker 2: the YouTube side. What Katie didn't mean to say it
Speaker 2: like that. Yeah, Russell Westbrook took a bad three late.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you though, It's not as if the Denver
Speaker 2: Nuggets played poorly. The Clippers were just better. They out
Speaker 2: executed them. Denver scored thirty three in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 2: but the Clippers got that final stop and we talked
Speaker 2: about it during the broadcast. They were switching the pick
Speaker 2: and roll with Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic, with Jokic
Speaker 2: and Derek Jones Junior playing the role of Kawhi Leonard
Speaker 2: typically late in the ball game like that, and they saw,
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was Jef van Gundy or
Speaker 2: coach Luke Is JVG was drawn up a play on
Speaker 2: the whiteboard late in the ball game to get that
Speaker 2: final stop. They saw the effectiveness of Derrick Jones Jr.
Speaker 2: On Nikola Jokic and they wrote it out with more
Speaker 2: switchability by taking a beats Zubas out of the game late.
Speaker 2: It worked. Brilliant, brilliant coaching. And that just shows you
Speaker 2: if Derek Jones Junior can guard Jokic some I think
Speaker 2: he can play the four guys. Does that mean when
Speaker 2: Kawhi comes back you can get him to the three
Speaker 2: off you want? Just wondering people are talking about Jef
Speaker 2: van Gundy for MVP. Frankie Boy nine says that others
Speaker 2: are talking about Norman Powell and him going eight of
Speaker 2: nine from the field in the fourth quarters. Katie pointed out,
Speaker 2: you missed one shot. Lee Vibin had it eight for nine. Ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Now can you get me what Yokid shot and what
Speaker 2: his points total was in the fourth I believe it
Speaker 2: was seventeen because he had twenty four ended up with
Speaker 2: forty one by the end of the game, twenty four
Speaker 2: points heading in to the fourth. Not only were the
Speaker 2: Clippers down by one heading into the fourth quarter, they
Speaker 2: got down by I believe for late. We'll hear from
Speaker 2: Norman Powell coming up. By the way, we got postgame
Speaker 2: audio for you. Let's get to the phones. Man Todd
Speaker 2: and East Tustin. You're on Clippers stuff without a Muslim.
Speaker 2: What's the Todd?
Speaker 6: Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 7: Adam?
Speaker 6: I'm in Houston, Texas. I'm in Houston, Texas. What's going on?
Speaker 2: No words? What did you think of the ball game?
Speaker 6: I love the game. I loved the game. I love
Speaker 6: how they played. I watched it on my phone.
Speaker 2: At the job, everything's bigger in Texas, including Clippers wins.
Speaker 2: Is that right?
Speaker 6: Yes? Indeed, yes, I'm a retire so I moved out here.
Speaker 6: But I just want to say that I enjoyed the
Speaker 6: game tremendously and the only negative thing I have to
Speaker 6: say is that T Man and our six man KPJ
Speaker 6: between them only gave us four points. You can't really
Speaker 6: take t Man out to put in to put in
Speaker 6: KPg because he's not giving us anything. I think it's
Speaker 6: trying to put in Jordan Miller, give him a little
Speaker 6: little playing time to see what he does, because we're
Speaker 6: not getting nothing from t Man.
Speaker 2: Hey, have you been listening to me, Todd? I've wonted
Speaker 2: Jordan Millerson's game one, like I think he should play.
Speaker 2: But it is a very difficult decision to make. First
Speaker 2: of all, who you take out? Are you really going
Speaker 2: to bench a guy that you brought in that's on
Speaker 2: a two year contract after two games in KPJ who
Speaker 2: was averaged nineteen points per game, granted for a bad
Speaker 2: team in the league before. Yeah, he didn't play at
Speaker 2: all last season. He may be suspended soon. That could happen.
Speaker 2: Who knows. I don't have any intel on that, but
Speaker 2: it's hard to pull the trigger on benching guys early
Speaker 2: in the season for young players. And then if the
Speaker 2: young guy struggles in Jordan Miller, I don't think he will,
Speaker 2: but if he does, then that kills his confidence and
Speaker 2: then you gotta go back to the vet and be like, oh,
Speaker 2: my mistake, please buy in play for me. Still, that's
Speaker 2: kind of the conundrum that you're in as a head
Speaker 2: coach in this situation.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I get what you're saying, but if you look
Speaker 6: how he's playing KPJ. He's just looking to shoot. He
Speaker 6: threw a bad passed it to the paint the zoo
Speaker 6: to throw it over his head out of bounds. I
Speaker 6: don't think he's really looking the pass or do anything.
Speaker 6: I think he's looking to score and.
Speaker 2: He's well, I'll say this, he's missing shots that he
Speaker 2: typically makes. He is a tough shot taker and maker. Now,
Speaker 2: he did have a beautiful kickout to a mere coffee
Speaker 2: in the near side corner who wasn't able to get
Speaker 2: it to go. He did have a couple of nice passes,
Speaker 2: but he is shot hunting a little bit too much
Speaker 2: for my liking. Even though when you're out there in
Speaker 2: that first lineup that he was in and they actually
Speaker 2: went plus twelve initially and they increased the lead from seven,
Speaker 2: I want to say, to fourteen before the starters came
Speaker 2: in got it up to eighteen. In the first half.
Speaker 2: KPJ had some moments there where he had that big
Speaker 2: dunk on Nikola Jokic in transition that led to a
Speaker 2: timeout where Yokicic won no part of it. I see
Speaker 2: what you're saying, Todd, and I appreciate the phone call.
Speaker 2: I think it is a smart one, so callback I
Speaker 2: gotta take a quick time out. Clippers win big, big
Speaker 2: victory in Denver, one O nine to one oh four.
Speaker 2: Not everything was perfect, It's not gonna be. But you
Speaker 2: gotta be at your best when your best is required.
Speaker 2: And the Clippers were late. They were down by four
Speaker 2: with under five minutes left in the lines. Then in
Speaker 2: Denver with Jokic and Jamal Murray out there and they
Speaker 2: found away play through Norman Powell. When a guy is
Speaker 2: that hot, match up hunt and let him cook Jamal Murray.
Speaker 2: That's what you saw. Clippers win by five in Denver,
Speaker 2: their first victory of the season. Tomorrow they're in San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Take it on Golden State. More on that will Updikel
Speaker 2: joined the show. Next. You're listening to the Los Angeles
Speaker 2: Clippers Audio Network in the Patriot AMLM fifty throws it up.
Speaker 5: The wind now finishes in the foul Los Angeles Slipper Nation.
Speaker 1: This is your home for the LA Clippers. LA Clippers.
Speaker 1: Take us with you on the Ihearts Radio AP.
Speaker 2: Clippers win one O nine to one O four in
Speaker 2: Denver over the Nuggets. Even with Nikola Jokis going for
Speaker 2: a career high seven made three pointers even with him
Speaker 2: dropping forty one. But Norman Powell. Norman Powell had twenty
Speaker 2: two of his thirty seven points in the fourth quarter
Speaker 2: and the Clippers come through with their first victory of
Speaker 2: the season. Join the show now you hear the music,
Speaker 2: you know it from Clips and Dip. We got will
Speaker 2: Updyke joining me here on the Patriot AM eleven fifty
Speaker 2: and on the YouTube live side at Clippers talk, Well,
Speaker 2: how are you feeling after this one? Is it still
Speaker 2: our year?
Speaker 8: It is definitely our year? Man? How could it not be?
Speaker 8: How could it not be? With the win like that?
Speaker 8: You got Jokic with a career high and three pointers
Speaker 8: and the Clippers are still taking it home. How about
Speaker 8: Norm Powell? James Hard and this thing is looking good?
Speaker 8: And this is just the beginning. We talked about it
Speaker 8: a little bit on Clips and Dip the stream with Charles,
Speaker 8: but you gotta love the improvement from the from the
Speaker 8: late game execution from Game one to game two. I
Speaker 8: thought it was a night and day different. And like
Speaker 8: we talked about, the Clippers team does not have margins
Speaker 8: to operate on. They need to be building upon these
Speaker 8: things every single game and we saw that, and we
Speaker 8: saw that in Game two. I mean, they can't ask
Speaker 8: for much more.
Speaker 2: Now. I don't know if norm can drop thirty seven
Speaker 2: and twenty two in the fourth every game, but I
Speaker 2: know he can look for a shot more. I know
Speaker 2: he can stay confident, and I know he was one
Speaker 2: of the best fourth quarter shooters all of last season,
Speaker 2: not just on the Clippers but in the league. He
Speaker 2: has been clutched for this team, so I'm not overly
Speaker 2: surprised he's had a twenty point fourth quarter for the
Speaker 2: Clippers before. I think he's had an eighteen point quarter
Speaker 2: with them in the final period before too. This is
Speaker 2: what he does. I'm just happy for him right now.
Speaker 2: He and Big Zoo. Big Zoo especially, who has been
Speaker 2: at times derided by a faction of Clipper Nation, and
Speaker 2: he just had his first two games straight with twenty
Speaker 2: plus points, and he was also doing work against Jokic.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's how you wear a guy out a
Speaker 2: little bit, that's what you do. I know Jokic still
Speaker 2: had forty one, but Zoo was a president.
Speaker 8: He's gonna do though like that. That's what That's what
Speaker 8: he's absolutely gonna do. So I actually you know, I
Speaker 8: love Norm Powell, the big Norm Powell supporter. I got
Speaker 8: to eat a little crow. I had some I had
Speaker 8: some skepticism about him in the starting lineup, mainly due
Speaker 8: to some of the defensive concerns. We've seen a renewed
Speaker 8: effort from him on that and at the same like
Speaker 8: at the same time, he's able to get it done
Speaker 8: on both ends of the floor. We'll see how the
Speaker 8: conditioning kind of carries out through the rest of the season,
Speaker 8: but it did not seem to be a problem at
Speaker 8: all today.
Speaker 2: Aviza Zubotch ended up finishing with twenty four and fifteen
Speaker 2: to Nikola Jokicic's twenty six shots to get forty one
Speaker 2: points but just nine boards, and the Clippers once again
Speaker 2: out rebound of their opponent forty four to thirty seven,
Speaker 2: eleven to ten on the offensive rebounds, even though Denver
Speaker 2: had a couple backbreaking ones. At least I thought at
Speaker 2: one point in the fourth quarter where they got some
Speaker 2: easy put backs, including Jokics, where the Clippers just didn't
Speaker 2: you know, box out. There's gonna be mistakes, it's not
Speaker 2: gonna be perfect. We thought their margin for error was
Speaker 2: so small they probably couldn't win a game like this
Speaker 2: with Jokics going for forty one, but a big Zoo
Speaker 2: is all of a sudden not getting fifteen and ten
Speaker 2: every night, Like we said, he has to get bare minimum.
Speaker 2: What if he's at eighteen eleven. What if he does
Speaker 2: that for the season, Because right now I'm telling you people,
Speaker 2: I think he's a top twenty center. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: this guy looks to be a top ten center if
Speaker 2: he can play more like this.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I think the top ten potential is there.
Speaker 8: I mean, I know that you've been skeptical of Zoo's
Speaker 8: his conditioning, his cardio. Can he actually keep this up?
Speaker 8: A lot of doubts from Adam Oslin over there, But no,
Speaker 8: I think this is great. I think that he has
Speaker 8: the potential and not only have his first back to
Speaker 8: that twenty or but going going against Golden State, I
Speaker 8: think he could do three in a row. I think
Speaker 8: he could do three in a row. I don't think
Speaker 8: it's crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's often the biggest guy out there on the floor.
Speaker 2: This has been a long time coming. I've been saying
Speaker 2: it forever. While I have brought up the only reason
Speaker 2: that maybe you can make the argument he shouldn't get
Speaker 2: thirty minutes or more is because of his cardio in
Speaker 2: the past it seems to dip, but also of Vista Zoobots,
Speaker 2: like at seventy percent is still better than your backup option,
Speaker 2: and he ended up playing thirty nine minutes in this one.
Speaker 2: Basically they matched whenever Nikola Jokic was out there, Big
Speaker 2: Zoo was out there. But this is what happens when
Speaker 2: a guy who's put in the work finally gets his opportunity. Now,
Speaker 2: there were some negatives from people, of course in the
Speaker 2: comments section, already crying that, you know, Terrence Man should
Speaker 2: be taken out of the starting lineup. I think it's
Speaker 2: far too soon for that.
Speaker 8: Two games. It's been two games, you guys, and everything
Speaker 8: else is going so well. In the starting lineup. DJJ
Speaker 8: looks like a great fix. He had some huge plays.
Speaker 8: We've already talked about Avista' zoobots, We Powell, James Harden
Speaker 8: is a given in the starting lineup. So one piece
Speaker 8: has you know, had a couple of has had a
Speaker 8: rough couple of games. I just think even with the
Speaker 8: margins being as narrow as they are, I just I
Speaker 8: still think for me it's way too early to make
Speaker 8: that rash of a decision on Terrence Mann. We know
Speaker 8: historically what he does in this starting laneup, we know
Speaker 8: historically what his flaws are, and yes, we have seen
Speaker 8: those flaws. We have seen some bad habits so far.
Speaker 8: The hesitancy to shoot, the lack of aggression. It yeah,
Speaker 8: it reareds ugly head today. But I'm just not ready.
Speaker 8: I'm not ready to I'm not there after two games.
Speaker 2: Personally, I'm not there with this common As much as
Speaker 2: we just praised the beatsa zubats, only a d is
Speaker 2: a better two way player than big Zoos said MEO, uh,
Speaker 2: there's this.
Speaker 6: Guy name Let's go.
Speaker 8: Let's go.
Speaker 2: Look, there is a guy out there named Joel Embiid.
Speaker 2: I know he's not able to play right now, but
Speaker 2: he's an MVP. I think he's a better two way
Speaker 2: player as a big All right, I gotta go because
Speaker 2: I gotta get out at the end of the hour
Speaker 2: and we still have like two commercial breaks left. I'm sorry, Will,
Speaker 2: I love you. I know we'll have a Clips and
Speaker 2: Dip soon.
Speaker 8: Yes, absolutely, thanks for having me on. Let's go.

Speaker 7: James Harden a distribution wizard, sixteen assists tonight alone. What's
Speaker 7: it like to share the floor with him?
Speaker 9: It's amazing, man. He sees passes, he sees plays ahead
Speaker 9: of ahead of them happening, you know. So it's all
Speaker 9: about finding an opening, finding a space for him against
Speaker 9: the ball. We were able to do that tonight. Make sures.
Speaker 9: He made it easy for all of us tonight. So
Speaker 9: you props to him is what he does, and we're
Speaker 9: gonna need.

Speaker 7: Two games and two opportunities to demonstrate late game execution
Speaker 7: this early in the season kind of rare.
Speaker 2: What can you take.
Speaker 7: From these first two games into the road ahead?
Speaker 9: Continuing to bill, continue to stay together, no matter what
Speaker 9: the ups and downs is, no matter what the run is,
Speaker 9: being tied in, not getting discouraged, staying after it. I'm
Speaker 9: composed and I'm fighting, scratching the claw and to get
