Speaker 1: We're taking your calls on the LA Clippers right now.
Speaker 2: Peace Peace, Clippers talk on Aaron on demand, the Clippers
Speaker 2: show up, record your chance to react to everything.
Speaker 1: Clippers Clippers news happens.
Speaker 2: 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: Free and postgame.
Speaker 2: At follow Adam A Adam Hasley.
Speaker 1: Is this what it hurts? So good means? I don't
Speaker 1: know it hurts, but a good spirited performance by your
Speaker 1: Clippers in a loss. Hear it into a dome as
Speaker 1: they fall in ot to the Boston Celtics by a
Speaker 1: score of one seventeen to one thirteen. Without Kawhi Leonard,
Speaker 1: without a Visa Zubats, without James Harden, without Chris Dunn,
Speaker 1: without Niko Batoum, without Norman Powell. The Clippers gave everything
Speaker 1: they had out here tonight and just came up a
Speaker 1: couple buckets short in overtime against the defending champs. I'm
Speaker 1: out of Osland and this is Clippers Talk. Eight sixty
Speaker 1: six nine eight seven two five seventy eight sixty six
Speaker 1: nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number
Speaker 1: coming up? Looking for postgame audio and quotes coming out
Speaker 1: of this one. Fortunately, a hard fought loss for the Clippers.
Speaker 1: That would have been their best victory of the season.
Speaker 1: That would have been a top five regular season of
Speaker 1: victory in the coach lou Era, Guys, how many of
Speaker 1: you came into this game and said, Oh, we're punting,
Speaker 1: We're just giving up on this one. It's a scheduled loss.
Speaker 1: The NBA gave us the first four game and five
Speaker 1: night situation in the league in two years, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna have to pick which games we play. Everybody in
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people said that. I think
Speaker 1: it was fair. You saw a mere coffee Derek Jones junior,
Speaker 1: Obamatai Man and Kevin Porter Junior in the starting lineup
Speaker 1: and said, oh against Boston, Well, yeah, just try not
Speaker 1: to lose by fifty. That was a tweet put out
Speaker 1: by La Murray pre game, the goal, don't lose by fifty.
Speaker 1: They almost won the damn game. Yeah, almost only counts
Speaker 1: in hand grenades and horseshoes, Well said horse. It's frustrating
Speaker 1: because a lot of people will dismiss it. A loss
Speaker 1: is a loss. No, it's not. You're telling me you
Speaker 1: can't learn about some of these players and what they're
Speaker 1: capable of in a loss that can eventually lead them
Speaker 1: to helping you in a victory. Come on, contextualize it
Speaker 1: a little bit. Don't just dumb it down to the
Speaker 1: sports cliches. I'm telling you there are victories where you
Speaker 1: gonna win and develop bad habits that eventually turn into losses.
Speaker 1: And then there are losses where you can pick up
Speaker 1: some good habits or learn an aspect to a player
Speaker 1: that has you plug him into a lineup later on
Speaker 1: in the season that gets you a victory. I'm hoping
Speaker 1: the Clippers learned something. I'm hoping a player like Derek
Speaker 1: Jones Jr. Who was slumping from the outside, gets up
Speaker 1: twenty shots, goes four to seven as a career high
Speaker 1: twenty nine points. I'm hoping that gives him more confidence
Speaker 1: to knock down shots when he's playing next to Kawhi
Speaker 1: and James Harden and Visa Zuobots again. I'm hoping Kobe
Speaker 1: Brown gets a real shot now over the next couple
Speaker 1: of weeks before the trade deadline to say what about me, guys,
Speaker 1: What if I'm the backup five? What if I'm the
Speaker 1: solution is he better than Mobaba? I don't know. I'd
Speaker 1: give him some minutes. He got thirty eight tonight, Hey,
Speaker 1: Ken poor Jr. He proved the vision of why they're
Speaker 1: keeping him out there, what he can do. And really
Speaker 1: just that third quarter alone where he had thirteen is
Speaker 1: twenty six points. But I tweeted out in the third
Speaker 1: like he's keeping them in the game. He is their offense,
Speaker 1: him breaking down the defense every time, getting either two
Speaker 1: on the ball or creating a shot for himself finding
Speaker 1: the open man. That's what KPJ can do. He can
Speaker 1: disrupt the defense, he can create advantages for you on offense.
Speaker 1: That was it in that third quarter. That's what coach
Speaker 1: lu has been looking for. Maybe that gives him more confidence.
Speaker 1: Playing thirty eight minutes, six points, seven assists, three turnovers
Speaker 1: in a huge third quarter. Were they led by three
Speaker 1: heading into the fourth. A lot of that is because
Speaker 1: of KPJ. He was the engine of the offense. That
Speaker 1: was James Harden light, that's the vision. Can KPJ do
Speaker 1: some of that James Harden stuff at a lower level
Speaker 1: in the second unit, Well, tonight you could see it.
Speaker 1: I thought a mere coffee was awesome. Twenty four, nine
Speaker 1: to fifteen, shooting tough buckets late, the little fade away
Speaker 1: turnaround he has, which I don't know what the numbers
Speaker 1: are on him, from like ten to fourteen or ten
Speaker 1: to sixteen feet out, but it feels like more often
Speaker 1: than not that little jumper goes. A lot of guys
Speaker 1: had to show other aspects to their game tonight and
Speaker 1: not embarrass themselves, and boy they did not. It just
Speaker 1: tells you how talented guys are in this league a
Speaker 1: game like this, why these are four hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: of the best players in the world. Because the Boston
Speaker 1: Celtics probably had every reason to feel confident coming into
Speaker 1: this game that they could make quick work of the
Speaker 1: Clippers and move on to the Lakers game tomorrow, their rival,
Speaker 1: the Clippers said, now we're good, we can play with you.
Speaker 1: Derek Jones Junior has seventeen in the first quarter, also
Speaker 1: a career high for points score in a quarter, a
Speaker 1: mere coffee twelve in the second KPJ thirteen and the third.
Speaker 1: Their problem was they didn't have a guy carrying them
Speaker 1: offensively in the fourth. And if you're gonna analyze this
Speaker 1: and go further and just saying, well, I'm proud of
Speaker 1: the team, the heart, the hustle, the fight they showed
Speaker 1: and actually talk about where the game was lost. That's
Speaker 1: where it was lost. I think there were some tired
Speaker 1: legs out there. Multiple air balls in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: but they had a six point lead after an a
Speaker 1: Mere jumper in eighty nine to eighty three. In the fourth,
Speaker 1: Pritchard gets a layup in transition eighty nine eighty five.
Speaker 1: Amir can't get a call. On the other end. The
Speaker 1: Celtics have a turnover in the backcourt by Prichard, but
Speaker 1: then Miller on an inbounds pass Jordan Miller looking for
Speaker 1: Terrence Man on the near sideline. It was taken away
Speaker 1: by Derek White, easy layup, two point game Man airballs
Speaker 1: of three. Asked to come out of the game. He
Speaker 1: looked gassed. He ended up playing forty five minutes. Are
Speaker 1: you kidding me? The next shot probably the biggest one
Speaker 1: in the game, at least to that point. It's a
Speaker 1: three pointer from Derek White. He hit a couple of
Speaker 1: ridiculous threes, but Boston went on an eight oh run
Speaker 1: in a minute forty six to take their first lead
Speaker 1: since the eight to thirty one mark. Of the third quarter,
Speaker 1: They're up ninety to eighty nine. In the fourth, out
Speaker 1: of a timeout, Bones Highland airballs a three pointer in
Speaker 1: the near side corner. Then DJ airs a three. That's
Speaker 1: tired leg stuff. Typically Tatum hits a three. Now Boston's
Speaker 1: up four. Bones misses a wide open three, good luck.
Speaker 1: Then KPJ has a turnover foul springer the Clippers eventually
Speaker 1: after Derek White hit a long three straight away to
Speaker 1: put them up ninety six to eighty nine. The Clippers
Speaker 1: I believe missed nine straight shots after DJ had a steal,
Speaker 1: but Amir got blocked in transitioned. They didn't call foul
Speaker 1: nine straight and they had some good looks in there.
Speaker 1: The next bucket they would hit after going over six
Speaker 1: minutes scoreless, was when KPJ found Man for a layup
Speaker 1: that made ninety six to ninety one. But in a
Speaker 1: game like this where points were at a premium, especially
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and the Clippers were just gassed,
Speaker 1: it felt like a ten point lead for Boston. Kobe
Speaker 1: Brown tie up with Tatum on a jump ball. They
Speaker 1: had three different jump balls in this game. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think two of them were KPJ, who was on
Speaker 1: the hardwood, who played some really good defense at times,
Speaker 1: by the way too. Tatum on Brown, but Man misses
Speaker 1: a jumper. Springer airs a three pointer. Unfortunately he wouldn't
Speaker 1: continue to miss a Mirror misses a jumper. But DJ
Speaker 1: hits a floater and that makes it ninety six to
Speaker 1: ninety three. Clippers down by three. Springer hits a three.
Speaker 1: They're down six. I thought for sure that was it.
Speaker 1: Clippers are cooked. They had their chance. There's three zero
Speaker 1: five left. It's ninety nine to ninety three. After that
Speaker 1: shot by Springer. KPJ misses a fallaway and he couldn't
Speaker 1: really recapture what he had going with that rhythm in
Speaker 1: the third, didn't make a didn't score point the fourth,
Speaker 1: but then Man has a steal to DJ to a
Speaker 1: mirror for a layup ninety nine to ninety five. A
Speaker 1: mirror has always been so good in transition. But Tatum
Speaker 1: hits a tough fade away on the near side. Baseline
Speaker 1: was well defended. One oh one nine five. Boston Clippers
Speaker 1: down by six. Again. The clock is not their friend.
Speaker 1: Things are looking dire. There's two oh seven left after
Speaker 1: that Tatum shot. DJ misses a wide open three. Then
Speaker 1: he misses a layup and this is the play he's
Speaker 1: fouled on. They review it, it's a possible flagrant. They
Speaker 1: end up calling a technical I think on Derek White
Speaker 1: for a hit to the face with a wind up,
Speaker 1: so it goes technical shot to a mirror. He hits it.
Speaker 1: Then DJ gets two shots, but he goes one of
Speaker 1: two and it's one on one ninety seven. Clippers foul
Speaker 1: on the other end, Dyalen Brown goes to the line,
Speaker 1: hits both one oh three ninety seven. They're down six.
Speaker 1: The game should be over at this point, right it
Speaker 1: should have been. This Clippers team's not gonna quit one
Speaker 1: oh three ninety seven. At the one toh three mark
Speaker 1: of the fourth now Man gets a quick layup and
Speaker 1: I thought at some point they were gonna go for
Speaker 1: a three. Instead, Boston played him so tight on the
Speaker 1: perimeter the Clippers were able to get a couple of
Speaker 1: easy ones, a couple of quick scores one oh three
Speaker 1: ninety nine. After the Man layup, Brown misses a jumper.
Speaker 1: KPJ missus a layup in transition, but you like to
Speaker 1: take it was aggressive. He just couldn't get to go.
Speaker 1: There's an offensive foul in the Celtics with the Clippers
Speaker 1: down four, and then a mirror has a dunk and
Speaker 1: it's a two point game on a quick hitter. We'll
Speaker 1: get back to out. The fourth quarter closed after we
Speaker 1: paused ten seconds for station identification. Here on the M
Speaker 1: five seventy l A Sports is.
Speaker 3: LA Clippers Basketball AM five to seventy KLAC Los Angeles,
Speaker 3: ninety eight seven KYSR HD two Los Angeles, and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1: A mere Coffee after a timeout gets that dunk to go.
Speaker 1: With twelve point one seconds left, it's one o three,
Speaker 1: one oh one, Clippers down by two. Full time out
Speaker 1: for the Celtics, and I thought, okay, they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to foul at some point here, right, foul within the
Speaker 1: first five seconds, you have to well, Jalen Brown throws
Speaker 1: it away at the seven point one mark. There's seven
Speaker 1: seconds left, so five seconds had come off. The Clippers
Speaker 1: were reluctant to foul. They're gonna play them straight up
Speaker 1: a little bit longer, and that's how Derek Jones gets
Speaker 1: the steal and score and transition just heroic into a
Speaker 1: dome is popping off one to oh three all and
Speaker 1: oh yeah, with four seconds left, they double Tatum and
Speaker 1: Boston doesn't even get a shot off. I mean, Derek
Speaker 1: Jones Junior blocks Derek White's three pointer attempted that after
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum got clamped and they go into overtime, but
Speaker 1: Carlo brought it up often the team who scores first
Speaker 1: and overtime wins. It was Boston. A three point from
Speaker 1: Derek White, a three point from Jason Tatum, Dereck Jones
Speaker 1: Junior gets a layup to make it one O nine,
Speaker 1: one five, but then another three pointer from Jalen Brown.
Speaker 1: This was after the Kobe Brown defense on Jason Tatum
Speaker 1: who finds Jalen Brown wide open on the right wing,
Speaker 1: and Boston eventually won the way they do playing the odds,
Speaker 1: playing the math game. The three point shooting for them
Speaker 1: came back around when they needed most the end of
Speaker 1: the fourth and then in overtime. They went nineteen of
Speaker 1: fifty from three s thirty eight percent on an extremely
Speaker 1: high volume, and the Clippers lose by four after they
Speaker 1: took it further than four quarters, one seventeen to one thirteen.
Speaker 1: I love the fight. You just were hoping this team
Speaker 1: would get rewarded with the victory tonight because they played
Speaker 1: so damn hard. We'll take a quick time out. We'll
Speaker 1: come back more on this one. Short handed Clippers push
Speaker 1: the chances to the brink. But Celtic's two good when
Speaker 1: they had to have it. Springer Man hadn't hit a
Speaker 1: three all season. They leave them open. He knocks it down.
Speaker 1: I'm out of mazand and you're listening to clipperstock. You're
Speaker 1: on MBU seventy Eli Sports.
Speaker 2: Throws it up.
Speaker 3: The window finishes in the fell Los Angeles Slipper Nation.
Speaker 2: This is your home for the LA Clippers. LA Clippers.
Speaker 2: Take us with you on the Ihearts Radio.
Speaker 1: AIP Clippers lose an excruciatingly painful loss, considering how undermanned
Speaker 1: they were and how this would have been the best
Speaker 1: victory of the season. They pushed Boston, but they just
Speaker 1: didn't have enough and overtime they lost one seventeen to
Speaker 1: one thirteen without Kawhi Leonard, without Norman Powell, without James Harden,
Speaker 1: without Niko A two without Chris Dunn, without a beats Zubos,
Speaker 1: and the Clippers almost beat the defending champs. Oh tough
Speaker 1: on Clibernation. They lose one seventeen to one to thirteen
Speaker 1: in ot, I'm out of Maslin. This is Clipper Stock
Speaker 1: live from into a dome. I'm proud of the team,
Speaker 1: though overall, nobody should hang their heads in the locker room.
Speaker 1: Nobody leave it into a dome. Should be hanging their heads.
Speaker 1: You saw a well played basketball game. What more can
Speaker 1: you ask other victory then a team to give everything
Speaker 1: they have. They did while being this shorthanded. That's all
Speaker 1: you want to see. Play hard? What did coach lou
Speaker 1: say their identity would be in training camp? We're gonna
Speaker 1: play really hard. They have second best defense in the season,
Speaker 1: and tonight they have role players step into starring roles,
Speaker 1: have career nights. Derek Jones Junior twenty nine points, twelve
Speaker 1: of twenty. Big shots steal layup to tie it, to
Speaker 1: get it into overtime. Kobe Brown is this something? Is
Speaker 1: he gonna take mo Obama's minutes? I'd certainly give him,
Speaker 1: give him an opportunity after this game eleven boards, I mean,
Speaker 1: he was just hustling. He was only two of seven
Speaker 1: because he was two of five, or excuse me, he
Speaker 1: was zero three from three. That's unfortunate because his last
Speaker 1: year at Missouri shot forty six percent from the outside,
Speaker 1: but it just hasn't materialized in the G League or
Speaker 1: in the NBA. But he hasn't gotten a ton of
Speaker 1: minutes left. He at least took him. I love how
Speaker 1: hard this Clippers team played. I love how serious they
Speaker 1: took this game, and the guys who are available did
Speaker 1: everything they could. And you want to see him get
Speaker 1: rewarded with the victory. But what most likely happens is
Speaker 1: somebody like Kobe Brown gets rewarded at least with some
Speaker 1: bigger opportunities down the line. Here. Speaking of down the line,
Speaker 1: let's start things off tonight here on Clippers talk with
Speaker 1: Eric in Torrance. Eric trying to keep it about thirty
Speaker 1: seconds for me.
Speaker 4: Sure, sure, yeah, everything you said was right on the point, man.
Speaker 4: The only ones disparity I thought tonight, I was there
Speaker 4: at the game was just officiating. I thought, you know,
Speaker 4: I never liked you've officiated an excuse. But if you
Speaker 4: look at the foul I think it was like twenty
Speaker 4: five to fourteen, and then the free throws are.
Speaker 2: A little bit lopsided.
Speaker 4: A little bit too though, But other than that, yeah,
Speaker 4: I thought it was a great game. They played hard,
Speaker 4: and then just what I wish they would though.
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Eric, I feel you. I get it,
Speaker 1: like this is a team that just ah because now
Speaker 1: this type of loss, even though they were this close,
Speaker 1: it will get lost in time had they have won.
Speaker 1: This is a Clippers rewind. This is something we're talking
Speaker 1: about for years, like the win against Washington or the
Speaker 1: twenty point come back against Atlanta. You know when they
Speaker 1: beat Brooklyn in the twenty one to twenty two season
Speaker 1: and they had nobody in that game they beat I
Speaker 1: think Kyrie and Katie. It could have been one of those.
Speaker 1: It could have been. Not to be Alan from Park City.
Speaker 1: You're a Clippers stock. What's up, Allan? Christopher, Los Angeles?
Speaker 1: What's up, Christopher? Hello?
Speaker 5: Ellen, Yeah, you feel that we probably could have won
Speaker 5: this game if it weren't for those two buckets that
Speaker 5: were taken away from us, the one by by Kobe Brown.
Speaker 2: On the Kobe Travel.
Speaker 1: The Kobe Travel is one you're talking about, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that one and then the amer.
Speaker 1: Coffee flying knee.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's the one. Yeah, could have been a whole
Speaker 5: different game. But you know, I was one of those
Speaker 5: people that wasn't sure how the game was gonna go,
Speaker 5: and after that first quarter, it's that gave we got
Speaker 5: a chance in this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Boston's first twelve points in overtime. Unfortunately we're off
Speaker 1: of three pointers. That is just unbelievable. I appreciate the
Speaker 1: phone call, my friend. Hopefully we'll talk to you tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: After a Clipper's victory. Uh, Kata, by the way, ends
Speaker 1: up getting that bucket late to put him up what
Speaker 1: was it five in overtime to take away any chance
Speaker 1: the Clippers had. Yeah, it's one fifteen to one twelve
Speaker 1: with thirty seconds left. After a mirror gets that driving
Speaker 1: layup to his right, he had the and one, so
Speaker 1: it's a two point game. Excuse me, it's one fifteen
Speaker 1: to one thirteen and Kada gets that bucket to go
Speaker 1: and Carlo brought it up, and I'm wondering the same.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the replay, but did they have enough
Speaker 1: time to foul him? Is the question. It was kind
Speaker 1: of a scramble. It's not that easy, but you know, oh,
Speaker 1: he's a I guess he's shooting seventy one percent for
Speaker 1: a free throw on he doesn't take ready though. It
Speaker 1: has one free throw per game, so that would have
Speaker 1: been interesting. One more call here before we break, Uh,
Speaker 1: tags Stages and Wallnut, what's up? Stages?
Speaker 6: Hey, Adam, I haven't been able to call on a well,
Speaker 6: but been trying to listen in when I can. I've
Speaker 6: been busy. But hey, man, what a great game.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 6: You know when a mirror hit in overtime made the
Speaker 6: ad one, they cut the lead to two. When they
Speaker 6: inbounded the ball and they trapped Derek White. I could
Speaker 6: have sworn he traveled, he passed, but they didn't call it.
Speaker 6: He passed it. Then they called time out. Out of
Speaker 6: that time out, there was only eighteen seconds on the
Speaker 6: twenty four second shot clock, and they inbounded the ball.
Speaker 6: Richard got the ball, and to me, it looked like
Speaker 6: he didn't cross the line, the half court line, and
Speaker 6: so that's something. You know, it doesn't matter now, but
Speaker 6: I'm gonna be interested to seeing the two minute report
Speaker 6: whether it was a back court violation there. I don't
Speaker 6: know if you saw that or not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Carlo brought it up. But we'll see
Speaker 1: the two minute report in this one. It might be
Speaker 1: an interesting one. Honestly, anything else, Sages.
Speaker 6: No overall is great. I mean, Kobe Brown playing the
Speaker 6: five kind of reminded us of like, kind of like
Speaker 6: Reggie Evans from back in the day, with all that
Speaker 6: hustle and man, they put a clinic on how to trap,
Speaker 6: and I wouldn't mind seeing that in future games. For
Speaker 6: a few minutes, having the the second unit just kind
Speaker 6: of trapping the other team and creating turnovers and just
Speaker 6: changing the pace of the game. It was pretty awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. They're trapping, blitzing, firing in
Speaker 1: the second half. Appreciate the phone call tags. We'll talk
Speaker 1: to you soon. We'll take a quick time out. Clippers
Speaker 1: falling overtime one seventeen to one to thirteen to the
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics, looking for post game quotes from the players
Speaker 1: and coach Lou I'm out of Moslims and this is
Speaker 1: Clipper stock here at ampire seventy. ELA Sports.
Speaker 2: Throws it up the window finishes in the fowl.
Speaker 3: Los Angeles Slipper Nation. This is your home for the
Speaker 3: LA Clippers. LA Clippers take us with you on the
Speaker 3: Ihearts Radio WI No.
Speaker 1: Sweet without the sour. Unfortunately, a sour tastes in your
Speaker 1: mouth like it's an atomic warhead. As the Clippers losing
Speaker 1: OT one's seventeen to one thirteen Here it into a
Speaker 1: dome to the Boston Celtics as they were without James Harden, Kawhi, Leonard,
Speaker 1: Norman Powell, Chris Dunnavitzezubas Niko. Buttoom, those six guys account
Speaker 1: for eighty three points per game, aside from the defense,
Speaker 1: aside from the rebounding, the assists, just looking ahead from points.
Speaker 1: From a points perspect they account for eighty three. And
Speaker 1: the Clippers out played Boston for I would say, I
Speaker 1: don't know forty of the was it eventual fifty three minutes,
Speaker 1: but ultimately fall short in ot as Boston put them
Speaker 1: away with three pointers. That's what they do. They just
Speaker 1: continue to play the law of averages. I think it's
Speaker 1: a smart strategy. I think they just want a championship
Speaker 1: doing so. The Clippers also had twenty three turnovers leading
Speaker 1: to twenty five points, a lot of them. I think,
Speaker 1: I'm just, you know, I don't want to be overly
Speaker 1: critical when you have different lineups out there, different guys
Speaker 1: playing for the first time next to one another, different
Speaker 1: five man lamps than we've seen all season, and say, well,
Speaker 1: they should be better with the basketball. It's it's tough.
Speaker 1: We knew coming into this one just not having enough
Speaker 1: continuity and familiarity out there would lead to some turnovers.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. They only had one turnover at
Speaker 1: the end of the first quarter. They only had eight
Speaker 1: at the half, so they ended up with what fifteen
Speaker 1: in the second half. Ah and through overtime. Of course,
Speaker 1: you wanted to get this one. But I'm telling you
Speaker 1: there's gonna be good things coming out of this. I
Speaker 1: truly truly believe that because the Clippers had different guys
Speaker 1: step up and show what they can do in a
Speaker 1: big spot, and Mayor Coffee can score a little bit
Speaker 1: more and than you think. Derek Jones Junior. I've been
Speaker 1: talking about this all season long. I think Dallas fumbled
Speaker 1: the bag with him by not paying him and not
Speaker 1: giving him a more a bigger role in the offensive end. Basically,
Speaker 1: I know that's tough with Kyrie and Luca, but he
Speaker 1: is capable more. He was underutilized. He has proven that
Speaker 1: this season. And maybe you know he's twenty seven, chip
Speaker 1: on his shoulder, player, a grinder and he's coming into
Speaker 1: his own And it has nothing to do with Dallas
Speaker 1: but I think it's clear Derek Jones Junior can be
Speaker 1: much more of a score than anybody realized. The effort
Speaker 1: that Clippers put out tonight with Derek Jones Junior having
Speaker 1: twenty nine points, Kevin Porter Junior with twenty six, seven
Speaker 1: and seven, and Mire Coffee of twenty four role players
Speaker 1: having to turn into starters and star players is not
Speaker 1: easy against any team, let alone the defending champs, who Okay,
Speaker 1: they're missing porzingis your holiday and Al Horford cool. They
Speaker 1: still had Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown, Derek White, Sam Houser
Speaker 1: went five of seven from three. I guess they got
Speaker 1: the other end of it with Peyton Pritchard's going one
Speaker 1: of seven, so even things out. But man, they gave
Speaker 1: Boston all they can handle. It just turns out their
Speaker 1: three point shooting and their math problem that they give
Speaker 1: you with putting up fifty threes, it leads to a
Speaker 1: hot streak eventually. You know, they pushed through those cold
Speaker 1: streaks like they had second and third quarter, and then
Speaker 1: they hit some timely ones in the fourth and then
Speaker 1: obviously three pointers to start overtime. That's what we're talking
Speaker 1: about tonight. Could the Clippers have fouled late. Maybe I
Speaker 1: do want to hear from Coach Lou about that. I
Speaker 1: haven't seen any postgame quotes out there yet. Let me
Speaker 1: check Tilmarrizzari here on clutch points. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I know he's talked with the media. I don't know
Speaker 1: why we're not actually getting any reports here. We'll take
Speaker 1: a quick time I'm out. I'll try to dig up
Speaker 1: some sound bites, look for some quotes from Coach Lou.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll just play the audio back in Burbank and
Speaker 1: I'll try to transcribe it as fast as possible. But
Speaker 1: it would have been an all time regular season victory.
Speaker 1: It would have been. It would have been had this
Speaker 1: many guys missing and beat Boston. Man, that's what stinks.
Speaker 1: It will be forgotten had they had one. This would
Speaker 1: have been one of the best victories in the Coach
Speaker 1: Lou era, one of the best regular season victories really
Speaker 1: ever in Clippers basketball history. I'm Adam Alson, and you're
Speaker 1: listening to Clippers stock here on N five seventy other sports.
Speaker 3: You're listening to LA Clippers basketball. Take us with you
Speaker 3: wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: Clippers Lou's one seven, one thirteen. Multiple times they could
Speaker 1: have given up late in the fourth quarter, they didn't.
Speaker 1: Derek Jones Junior heroics the steal, the layup, and then
Speaker 1: they're down one twelve to one oh five with two
Speaker 1: minutes left in overtime. Kpj hits his only shot in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and overtime to make it one twelve
Speaker 1: to one oh seven. Derek Jones Junior hits a three
Speaker 1: to bring him within two with fifty six seconds left.
Speaker 1: Jaden Springer he hadn't made a three this season. I
Speaker 1: think Carlo said he was over four heading into this game.
Speaker 1: You have to make decisions. Do you double Jason Tatum,
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown? Do you let the others beat you? I
Speaker 1: think you played the odds there. Unfortunately, Springer hit a
Speaker 1: huge three in the fourth quarter. He hit a huge
Speaker 1: three with thirty four seconds left in overtime that put
Speaker 1: him up one fifteen to one ten. Amir gets the
Speaker 1: quick layup. The Clippers had it to within two after
Speaker 1: the end win by a mirror. Place was rocking, but
Speaker 1: they didn't foul Kata late and he gets the two
Speaker 1: point to go and the Clippers lose after Kevin Porter Junior.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they call it a turnover or
Speaker 1: block by Jason Tatum. At the end, Clippers lose one
Speaker 1: seventeen to one to thirteen in overtimes with the Boston Celtics,
Speaker 1: while missing uh I don't know six of the top
Speaker 1: eight guys James Harden, Kawhi, Norm Powell, Chris Dunna beats
Speaker 1: Zubos Niko Batom. Incredible fight for this Clippers team. Hopefully
Speaker 1: this turns into a win down the line. I truly
Speaker 1: believe it will. Hopefully it turns into more minutes for
Speaker 1: some of these guys that look like they have earned them.
Speaker 1: Kobe Brown, who knows, looks like Coach Lous trusting him
Speaker 1: at least against Boston over Mobamba. Let's hear you know what, quickly,
Speaker 1: let's hear a little bit from Coach Lou postgame. If
Speaker 1: you're listening on the radio side, you can hear it here.
Speaker 1: After the Clippers lose by four.
Speaker 7: But thinking about the group that that you had tonight
Speaker 7: to push the defending champs to overtime and almost see like,
Speaker 7: can you at least take some positives out of out
Speaker 7: of what you just saw out there?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 8: You know a lot of good positives, you know, for
Speaker 8: the young guys to get a chance to play compete
Speaker 8: the way they did. You know, just hate to see
Speaker 8: a loss like that, but you know, twenty three turnovers,
Speaker 8: it's hard, you know, to beat a really good team.
Speaker 8: You know, we can turn them all over that many times.
Speaker 8: But you know, our guys kept fighting, kept competing down
Speaker 8: to the wire. You know, we thought we was out
Speaker 8: of it, was able to sit in overtime, and then
Speaker 8: one file away we should have filed, you know at
Speaker 8: the end. You know, when the big guy got the
Speaker 8: ball to the basket, he can't give him a layup.
Speaker 8: You know, So just some learning experiences, you know in
Speaker 8: that regard. But you know, I liked our fight, I
Speaker 8: liked our pace, and we did some good things and
Speaker 8: there's derobably some things we can take from.
Speaker 2: This game, coach.
Speaker 8: So basically, you guys had a group and everybody pretty
Speaker 8: much fought, but KPJ and Derek Jones Jr.
Speaker 2: Really let the charge to tonight. What you kind of
Speaker 2: see this season is getting them the first year here.
Speaker 2: What's your hypothesis of them?
Speaker 5: Of kp.
Speaker 8: Oh, they've been great, you know, you know with KPJ
Speaker 8: just you know, taking on a different role, you know,
Speaker 8: from you know, being in Houston where he was a starter,
Speaker 8: he was the guy, you know, and coming here and
Speaker 8: just trying to do what we ask him to do,
Speaker 8: trying to fit in, trying to run a team and
Speaker 8: playing the backup point guard position, and so it's new
Speaker 8: for him. So just trying to you know, stay with him.
Speaker 8: He was great tonight, and he's been pretty good, you know,
Speaker 8: And so you know, we have guys taking on different roles,
Speaker 8: and you know, DJ has been great, you know all
Speaker 8: year career, house and everything and every category. And you know,
Speaker 8: when you play hard, you can compete. You know, that's
Speaker 8: what happens. You're in every game, you know you have
Speaker 8: a chance to win. And still at the end, but
Speaker 8: like I said, I'm proud of our guys and our
Speaker 8: young guys were getting opportunity to play and doing a
Speaker 8: good job coaching. You talk about what you saw with
Speaker 8: Kobe Brown, you know, eleven rebounds, the defensive stops.
Speaker 1: Post game, we'll jump in here praising KPJ, saying he
Speaker 1: was great tonight, he's been pretty good. Talking about DJ,
Speaker 1: also saying they should have fouled Cada there at the end.
Speaker 1: I do want to remind people even though he's a
Speaker 1: big man, he's like a sixty eight percent, you know,
Speaker 1: career free throw shooter. But I mean there's a decent
Speaker 1: chance he misses one.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 1: Uh, Clippers didn't have any timeouts left, so that made
Speaker 1: things more difficult too. But he also said, yes, there
Speaker 1: are positives the way the young guys played, the opportunity
Speaker 1: they got a chance to play and compete the way
Speaker 1: they did. So, you know, coaches they look at everything.
Speaker 1: They don't just win a game and say, well, I
Speaker 1: don't have to watch the film with this one because
Speaker 1: apparently we did everything good because we won. No, there's
Speaker 1: mistakes in wins. There's greatness sometimes and losses. There's things
Speaker 1: you can learn from. And I'm sure the Clippers will
Speaker 1: take away a lot of good stuff from this ball game,
Speaker 1: and hopefully it will eventually turn into a victory for
Speaker 1: them with some of the efforts that they saw and
Speaker 1: some of the play they saw from the young guys
Speaker 1: who likely are going to get in there with bigger
Speaker 1: spots moving forward. All Right, we'll get out of here
Speaker 1: tonight because we're back tomorrow six thirty pre game Clippers
Speaker 1: taking on the Washington was richeering into a dome tip
Speaker 1: off at seven thirty before we get out of here.
Speaker 1: I do want to thank the Clippers organization, Ralph Lawler,
Speaker 1: Brian Seeman, Noah Ego, Carlo Jimenez on the call. I
