Speaker 1: Phoning in.
Speaker 2: You're taking your calls on the LA Clippers right now.
Speaker 3: This peace Clippers Talk on.
Speaker 1: Aaron on Demand, the Clippers Show of Record.
Speaker 3: Your chance to react to everything.
Speaker 2: Clippers Clippers news happens.
Speaker 3: Let me guess it's about Kawhi.
Speaker 1: Here we are and.
Speaker 3: Now here he is the host of your LA Clippers
Speaker 3: free and.
Speaker 4: Postgame at follow Adam a Adam Ousley.
Speaker 5: Clippers lose at home to the Lakers once twenty two
Speaker 5: to ninety seven of all teams. Welcome back into into
Speaker 5: a dome. I'm Adam Osland after I think the worst
Speaker 5: loss of the season, most disappointing performance of the season,
Speaker 5: by your Los Angeles Clippers, who dropped to twenty eight
Speaker 5: and twenty two on the season, and now they're two
Speaker 5: games back of the Lakers. We'll update you on the
Speaker 5: Western Conference standings coming up. Welcome into Clippers Talk if
Speaker 5: you'd like to get on. Eight sixty six nine eight
Speaker 5: seven two five seventy. Eight sixty six nine eight seven
Speaker 5: two five seventy is the phone number. Clippers gave up
Speaker 5: forty five points in the first quarter to the Lakers,
Speaker 5: and that's why I say they just came out day No. Showed.
Speaker 5: It was that bad. It was embarrassing. The Lakers had
Speaker 5: all the excuses coming into this game. They just traded
Speaker 5: for Luka Doncic. He's not available yet. They don't have
Speaker 5: a d they don't have Max Christie, who is a
Speaker 5: starter for them. They started in this ballgame, Drian Phinney, Smith,
Speaker 5: Royacha Mora, Lebron, James Jackson, Hayes, and Austin Reeves. How
Speaker 5: does it beats the Zubats end up with seven attempts
Speaker 5: from the field when last time out against ad he
Speaker 5: has a twenty nineteen game, twenty points, nineteen boards, and
Speaker 5: now he's going up against Ruya Chi Mora. The Clippers
Speaker 5: off was nasty to watch. Their effort defensively was poor,
Speaker 5: and coach lou has said postgame, and we'll have more
Speaker 5: from him coming up, that he's pissed about the last
Speaker 5: three games now. He hasn't liked the way they're playing.
Speaker 5: One of those games includes a win against Charlotte. So
Speaker 5: the next time people tell me a win's a win, please,
Speaker 5: I always tell you it matters how you play, win
Speaker 5: or loss. And they got smoked tonight. This wasn't you know.
Speaker 5: They had a bunch of open looks they missed, and
Speaker 5: the Lakers were making tough shots from the outside that
Speaker 5: were well contested. Wasn't that This was a lack of intensity,
Speaker 5: a lack of discipline, a lack of desire out there,
Speaker 5: and a complete lack of focus. This team has been
Speaker 5: a top two defense on the season for a reason.
Speaker 5: It didn't look like that tonight against a Lakers team
Speaker 5: down players that still shot forty nine percent from the outside,
Speaker 5: fifty five percent from the field, forty nine percent from
Speaker 5: the outside. They made all the hustle plays and they
Speaker 5: didn't have a turnover twenty minutes into the ballgame. You
Speaker 5: want to talk about little resistance. Lakers are a decent
Speaker 5: team when it comes to taking care of the basketball,
Speaker 5: but the Clippers live thrive off of gain, deflections, steals.
Speaker 5: It's what they do. They turn you over. Twenty percent
Speaker 5: of their points per game are coming off of turnovers.
Speaker 5: They're second best in the league in that area. And
Speaker 5: twenty minutes into this one and the Lakers have zero turnovers.
Speaker 5: That's shocking, but it speaks to the poor ball pressure,
Speaker 5: defensive intensity out there by the Clippers. Uncharacteristically, they were
Speaker 5: awful in those ways and that's their identity. So if
Speaker 5: they don't have that, it's gonna be a long night.
Speaker 5: It was against anyone, against anyone, against a Lakers team
Speaker 5: that doesn't have Luca yet, that didn't have Ad, that's
Speaker 5: just simply not good enough. And if you want to
Speaker 5: make excuses that, oh they're coming back from a road trip,
Speaker 5: that first game can be shaky. Was this the matinee
Speaker 5: ball game? I don't know what time is it, big bro?
Speaker 5: What's the excuse? The Lakers have been gone for six games?
Speaker 5: The Lakers just made a big shake up with their roster.
Speaker 5: How are they looking like the team out there more
Speaker 5: connected with more from I know the Clippers brought in
Speaker 5: two guys that played during inconsequential garbage time in Drew
Speaker 5: you Banks and Patty Mills. But there's no way to
Speaker 5: reason this one away. Not when you lose by a
Speaker 5: score of one twenty two to ninety seven to your
Speaker 5: in city rival now no longer Hallway rival. When do
Speaker 5: the Clippers not get up for a game against the Lakers?
Speaker 5: I mean, how many times do Laker fans make fun
Speaker 5: of them? Which is one of the most pathetic coping mechanisms. Oh,
Speaker 5: this is your Championship playing US. So it's a basketball game.
Speaker 5: You should play hard, and the.
Speaker 2: Clippers typically always do, especially against the Lakers.
Speaker 5: There should be more edge out there, there should be
Speaker 5: more fight. What happened tonight was the antithesis of that.
Speaker 5: They look like they needed smelling salts. That's really what's
Speaker 5: so surprising to me. And for Kawhi and James Harden
Speaker 5: to have back to back games like this after they
Speaker 5: had a poor showing in Toronto where they didn't have
Speaker 5: Norm Powell, and then tonight those two combine to go
Speaker 5: six of twenty three for a total of eighteen points.
Speaker 5: Harden had four points in the first half, three points
Speaker 5: in the second half. It's seven points total. I had
Speaker 5: nine assistant one turnover, Okay, it's not making up for it.
Speaker 5: Two of twelve from the field. Kawhi's four of eleven.
Speaker 5: And I'm not overly concerned about Kawhi having two bad
Speaker 5: games in a row because overall he's looked really good
Speaker 5: and what his twelve games so far, and he's getting
Speaker 5: to his spots and he's just you know, missing jumpers.
Speaker 5: The lift looks fine. Some people want to panic about that,
Speaker 5: but two games in a row, my intents go up
Speaker 5: a little bit. It gets my attention. If it happens Thursday,
Speaker 5: I'll be in a Fred Rogan orange on the Panic Meter.
Speaker 5: I'm going on with Rogan Rod Need tomorrow at one
Speaker 5: pm on the seventy if you want to listen in God,
Speaker 5: if I had known that we'd schedule that interview for
Speaker 5: tomorrow and the Clippers would perform like this, I'm gonna
Speaker 5: get roasted tomorrow. I'm gonna get cooked. Fred's gonna be
Speaker 5: after me. I didn't sign up for this like this
Speaker 5: is just a pretty pitiful performance in every facet. The
Speaker 5: Clippers bad start on defense tonight, being outscored forty five
Speaker 5: to twenty eight, allowing seventy three first half points, and
Speaker 5: the Lakers were eighteen to twenty four from the field
Speaker 5: in the first quarter, seven of eleven from three. They're
Speaker 5: not a good three point shooting team. They're playing different
Speaker 5: lineups out of necessity because of the trade they made.
Speaker 5: How are they the ones that look like they're meshing
Speaker 5: out there instant chemistry. I know the Clippers got Norm back,
Speaker 5: and Dunn has missed a handful of games recently, but
Speaker 5: he was back tonight. Now him and DJ getting into
Speaker 5: foul trouble early. Both having two had some effect, but
Speaker 5: come on, doesn't excuse anything. Worst loss of the season
Speaker 5: Clippers fall at home to the Lakers one twenty two
Speaker 5: to ninety seven. And while we have a moment, let's
Speaker 5: pause ten seconds for station identification here on the Los
Speaker 5: Angeles Clippers Audio Network and A five seven OLO.
Speaker 3: Sports Basketball AM five to seventy KLAC Los Angeles, ninety
Speaker 3: eight seven KYSR HD two Los Angeles and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 5: We'll start with Mike in La. Mike, let's keep it
Speaker 5: to thirty seconds. Give everybody enough time here. But I
Speaker 5: appreciate you calling. It is always my friends. What's up?
Speaker 6: Pathetic? Pathetic man. I'm just I'm at a loss. I
Speaker 6: have to call in just because I don't know what
Speaker 6: else to do. I'm at a loss. This is I mean,
Speaker 6: they need to respond. The next four games before the
Speaker 6: All Star Break need to be at least of three
Speaker 6: and one d.
Speaker 5: I agree with you. They need to respond. They got
Speaker 5: four games before the All Star break. They need to
Speaker 5: turn this around immediately. Because I appreciate the phone call, Mike.
Speaker 5: The sense of urgency is not there, and I don't
Speaker 5: know if it's the trade deadline. I don't know if
Speaker 5: it's the road trip. I don't know if it's the
Speaker 5: All Star break coming up. But what I do know
Speaker 5: is none of those things are a good enough excuse.
Speaker 5: And I know it's been trending the wrong way for
Speaker 5: some time because coach Lou just said, I didn't like
Speaker 5: the last three games now, so he's going back to
Speaker 5: a game they won in Charlotte where they look pretty unimpressive.
Speaker 5: Something needs to change Thursday. There needs to be a spark.
Speaker 5: There needs to be the right energy and spirit out
Speaker 5: there again from this team, play harder. What's their identity
Speaker 5: coming into this season? When coach Lou was asked that
Speaker 5: question back in Hanulu Lou in the preseason, he said,
Speaker 5: We're gonna play hard every night for the most part.
Speaker 5: They have, but tonight not doing so against the Lakers.
Speaker 5: That is very unusual. And so you lay an egg
Speaker 5: against this team, you can't get up for the Lakers.
Speaker 5: Something doesn't seem right. We'll take a quick time out,
Speaker 5: we'll come back. Clippers lose one, twenty two to ninety seven.
Speaker 5: By twenty five, here it into a Dome to the
Speaker 5: Los Angeles Lakers. I'm out a Maslin and you're listening

Speaker 3: AM five to seventy LA Sports. I love this team.
Speaker 3: I never miss a game. You're listening to LA Clippers
Speaker 3: Basketball free ball? Yes, sir, right here on the LA
Speaker 3: eight Clippers Audio network.
Speaker 5: Clippers lose once twenty two to ninety seven, and now
Speaker 5: I got people in the chat at Clippers stock on
Speaker 5: the YouTube side saying, Kawhi for Jimmy Butler. If you
Speaker 5: an't watched Jimmy Butler this season, he's older, he's not
Speaker 5: as good at anything. But Kawhi has two bad games
Speaker 5: in a row and people are saying, no, I trade
Speaker 5: him a he's done, he's washed. I mean, overall, the
Speaker 5: Clippers are playing poorly. It's not one guy, and this
Speaker 5: was a really bad performer. Tonight and the Clippers lost
Speaker 5: by twenty five to the Lakers at home after returning
Speaker 5: from a road trip, and I am extremely disappointed with
Speaker 5: the way they played out there. I am it's not
Speaker 5: good enough. Coach lou Is upset as well. They had
Speaker 5: it down to a thirteen point lead, though at the
Speaker 5: seven thirty mark of the third quarter after Derek Jones
Speaker 5: Junior dunk and there seemed to be some life from
Speaker 5: this team seemed to be right afterwards, Austin Reeves has
Speaker 5: Zoom matched up against him top of the arc drains
Speaker 5: of three, then gets an easy layup and then I
Speaker 5: think Ruy had one just cutting through the lane. It's
Speaker 5: back up to twenty. The game's over. They had one
Speaker 5: push in the third quarter. They made it interesting for
Speaker 5: a second, and then the game was over. Cloppers didn't
Speaker 5: have enough fight. They didn't seem like they wanted it enough.
Speaker 5: This is not just something schematic. This is not the
Speaker 5: Lakers having a huge talent advantage or anything like that
Speaker 5: tonight when they don't even have Luka Doncis yet. This
Speaker 5: is the Clippers not living up to their identity and
Speaker 5: their DNA of playing hard, which leads to all those
Speaker 5: turnovers they get they turn into points. Their second best
Speaker 5: in the league in that area. Something else, though, has
Speaker 5: happened the last five games. Carlo brought it up. Teams
Speaker 5: have been shooting better from three against the Clippers lately,
Speaker 5: last five games heading into this one, they're at thirty
Speaker 5: eight and a half percent from three, when on the
Speaker 5: season they've been about thirty three percent from three. Clippers
Speaker 5: have been a top team when it comes to opponent
Speaker 5: three point percentage, and then tonight the Lakers end up
Speaker 5: going eighteen of thirty seven from three. That's forty nine percent. Meanwhile,
Speaker 5: the Clippers have not been shooting it well from three
Speaker 5: for some time. In fact, I'm gonna go back fifteen
Speaker 5: games here, because they started off a season hot. From there,
Speaker 5: things stabilized balanced out a little bit, but they been
Speaker 5: bad lately. Last fifteen games, the Clippers are shooting thirty
Speaker 5: three point seven percent from three. Now for the most part,
Speaker 5: they've gotten by eight and seven over that time because
Speaker 5: their defense was so good. But now last five games,
Speaker 5: teams are starting to shoot much better against the Clippers
Speaker 5: from three. Is that wonky shot variance teams just being
Speaker 5: hot that night or is it more open threes and
Speaker 5: a lack of intensity from the Clippers on the perimeter
Speaker 5: and everywhere, Because I think part of the reason they've
Speaker 5: been good against teams when it comes to three point
Speaker 5: shooting on the season, where teams are shooting thirty four
Speaker 5: point six percent from three against them overall, fourth best
Speaker 5: in the league. The Clippers are one of the reasons
Speaker 5: I think that is is because they're physical out there
Speaker 5: and they take out your legs. Though even if they're
Speaker 5: not closing out on you, guys are tired, they're gas,
Speaker 5: they're missing short But the defense hasn't been as good,
Speaker 5: and now the last five games heading into this one
Speaker 5: team shot thirty eight and a half percent, and the Lakers,
Speaker 5: who aren't a good three point shooting team tonight just
Speaker 5: shot forty nine percent from three. Maybe something to it.
Speaker 5: Eight sixty six nine seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 5: phone number. Just go to Tom leaving the game. Tom,
Speaker 5: you got thirty so we can get everyone in appreciation
Speaker 5: to Tom, what's up?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 13: All good? Yeah, everyone looked pretty flat footed. I agree
Speaker 13: with everything that you said. It just felt like there
Speaker 13: was no ball pressure, no sense of urgency. Zoo looked
Speaker 13: especially slow and sluggish today, which was a little rough
Speaker 13: for me because he's been so good this season.
Speaker 5: But I did just literally just now leave Chick fil A,
Speaker 5: so I got my consolation brownie picking. Thank you, Broddy
Speaker 5: James sort of staff the woonds. Is that why Bronni
Speaker 5: gets tears in arenas because by the time he gets
Speaker 5: in the ball games, typically, you know, is the fourth quarter,
Speaker 5: there's a blowout and he might be shooting free throws
Speaker 5: and there is a Chick fil A or another prize
Speaker 5: on the line. No, I wish him well. He seems
Speaker 5: like a great young man, and it is incredible that
Speaker 5: lebron is playing with his son. I know some people
Speaker 5: hate it. I'm still like at times when I see
Speaker 5: I think it was the game against the Knicks recently,
Speaker 5: Brony checks in for Lebron James at the end of
Speaker 5: the game. It's like, this is this is wild to see,
Speaker 5: it's crazy. But to your points there Tom talking about
Speaker 5: everyone looking flat footed. Yeah, no sense of urgency. The
Speaker 5: ball pressure wasn't there. I appreciate the phone call. We're
Speaker 5: seeing the same thing and that's just not good enough.
Speaker 5: That's concerning. Let's hear from Mark in Westwood, Mark, what's
Speaker 5: up here on Clipper staff for that of Maus and
Speaker 5: I Mark Mark in Huysen Beach, Mark, what's up.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 13: I've been to lots of Clipper games season ticket over
Speaker 13: since idiot and I love coach Lou. But tonight he
Speaker 13: blew it.
Speaker 5: He didn't coach any blow it.
Speaker 13: I'll tell you in freezy steps, No, Anthony Davis. I
Speaker 13: was at the game. No plays going into the paint.
Speaker 13: They had no rhythm, and halfway through the second quarter
Speaker 13: all we were doing was shooting threes. I would have
Speaker 13: called a timeout if I was coaching, LOUI said, but
Speaker 13: number three attempts is.
Speaker 5: It coach Lou's fault that they're down forty five to
Speaker 5: twenty nine in the first quarter. Is that on coach
Speaker 5: lou Is? He's saying, hey, just let the Lakers. Just
Speaker 5: let the Lakers get anything they want out there. Is
Speaker 5: that what he was telling him in the huddle?
Speaker 13: Well, Zubuck was ineffective. I want to put someone else
Speaker 13: in there and at least block up the paint they got.
Speaker 13: They had seventeen points in the paint.
Speaker 6: In the first quarter.
Speaker 13: That's unacceptable, was Zubuck on the court.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're getting points and transition to which also count
Speaker 5: for points of the paint. I know he's frustrating. Mark.
Speaker 5: They weren't good. I just I honestly, I'm putting this
Speaker 5: one on the effort from the players more than anything.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying the coaches were perfect. I'm not saying.
Speaker 5: And you heard me. I came out and said, Zubat's
Speaker 5: only getting seven shots against this Lakers team without Anthony
Speaker 5: Davis when he just basically had a twenty twenty game
Speaker 5: against them a week and a half ago or two
Speaker 5: weeks ago. How does that happen? How are they not
Speaker 5: getting him the basketball more that frustrates me all the time.
Speaker 5: All right, I appreciate the phone call. Mark, We'll take
Speaker 5: a time out. We'll come back. Clippers lose to the
Speaker 5: Lakers one twenty two to ninety seven. Here at into
Speaker 5: a dome. Frustration boiled over in the ballgame at one
Speaker 5: point as a piece of zubos got into it with
Speaker 5: Dorian Finney Smith. That's not the fight I was looking for.
Speaker 5: And be honest, it was far too little, too late
Speaker 5: for the Clippers to start to look like they care
Speaker 5: out there. KPJ getting a technical while he's on the bench,
Speaker 5: and the Lakers with the free throw line. That stuff's
Speaker 5: not helping you. I get they got into it with
Speaker 5: the officials. They didn't lose this game because the officials. Guys,
Speaker 5: they lost this game because they didn't bring it. I'm
Speaker 5: out of Maslins. He listen to Clipperstock here on the
Speaker 5: M five to seventy LA Sports.

Speaker 2: This city is different.
Speaker 3: Nobody does LA Sports. It's Los Angeles like AM five
Speaker 3: to seventy LA Sports. I love this team. I never
Speaker 3: miss a game. You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball free Ball, Yes, sir,
Speaker 3: right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 5: Clippers lose once twenty two to ninety seven against the Lakers.
Speaker 5: It feels like they're at a crossroads right now, with
Speaker 5: coach Lou saying we need to look ourselves in the
Speaker 5: mirror postgame saying, quote, the last three games have really
Speaker 5: pissed me off. One of those games will win. He
Speaker 5: doesn't care that win against Charlotte. They didn't play the
Speaker 5: right way, and tonight they might have had three good
Speaker 5: minutes of basketball out of the forty eight. It was
Speaker 5: that bad from the Clippers against the Lakers, against the
Speaker 5: team they are known for beating. They were thirty eight
Speaker 5: and ten against them since twenty twelve coming into this game,
Speaker 5: and tonight they completely looked apathetic, disinterested, and disengaged. That's
Speaker 5: strange to see. That's bizarro Clippers, and that's why I
Speaker 5: have some level of concern and I need them to
Speaker 5: perform on Thursday against Indiana show who they are again.
Speaker 5: That doesn't just be victory. That means winning the Clippers
Speaker 5: brand of basketball and playing that brand of basketball again,
Speaker 5: winning that way. Some people are saying this is a
Speaker 5: trade deadline of distraction. I don't know was it for
Speaker 5: the Lakers. Didn't seem like it was for them. So
Speaker 5: I can't make any of these excuses. I can't. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you can't play hard the entire season for eighty two
Speaker 5: games because you will get burnt out. But either they
Speaker 5: didn't have it in the tank to play hard tonight,
Speaker 5: which is concerning in its own right, or they just
Speaker 5: didn't get up for the ball game, and they typically
Speaker 5: always get up for games against the Lakers. They don't
Speaker 5: get up for it. Why because the trade deadline? Are
Speaker 5: you telling me, well, the Lakers big move is behind them,
Speaker 5: so they were playing free and loose out there. I
Speaker 5: still think they're making another move. I still think their
Speaker 5: guys could be looking over their shoulder feeling like no
Speaker 5: one's safe. The Clippers. It's hard to have blinders on.
Speaker 5: They're human beings. I understand it. Relocating it's not easy.
Speaker 5: But the Lakers did it tonight. The Lakers have been
Speaker 5: on a six game road trip. The Clippers came back
Speaker 5: after being on a four game road trip. So I'm
Speaker 5: not going to be able to just write this off
Speaker 5: of oh trade deadline unique circumstances. No, they had the
Speaker 5: same stuff going on as the Lakers, and they played great,
Speaker 5: and they came out shot out of a cannon and
Speaker 5: Lebron dominated them. Binding all these Lebron people that have
Speaker 5: some type of like Lebron derangement syndrome or something that
Speaker 5: are always criticizing him and saying, uh, he sucks and
Speaker 5: all this, I'm not seeing him here tonight after he
Speaker 5: just wrecked the Clippers, dominated them best player on the
Speaker 5: floor at forty I shouldn't happen against Kawhi and James Harden.
Speaker 5: Neither of those guys has a good game tonight. Norm
Speaker 5: Pal had twenty. He looked good. I thought DJ was
Speaker 5: very good. But if you're relying on Derek Jones Jr.
Speaker 5: To save you, that's problematic. Oh he's hot tonight. We're
Speaker 5: just gonna see if he can keep it going from
Speaker 5: the outside. He might have started three or four, three
Speaker 5: of five. He ended up three of seven and then
Speaker 5: went back to the well eventually started missing. He had
Speaker 5: a good game. I'm just saying everybody he has a role.
Speaker 5: I don't think Kawhi and James Harden lived up to
Speaker 5: their end of the bargain tonight, nor Viatz the Zubas,
Speaker 5: who Yeah, you only got up seven shots out like that.
Speaker 5: He also didn't take advantage of his minutes. He didn't
Speaker 5: play with enough force out there. Did they just overlook
Speaker 5: the Lakers? Was this a trap game for the Clippers?
Speaker 5: The Lakers aren't going to give a great effort tonight.
Speaker 5: They're good waiting for the cavalry to arrive in Luka Dancis,
Speaker 5: you can't do that Lebron James is still out there.
Speaker 5: Austin Reeves cooked them. Jackson Hayes look good out there tonight.
Speaker 5: He had a struggle with times. Rioshramora had twenty How
Speaker 5: many backdoor cuts? Do we have to see that type
Speaker 5: of stuff? That's effort, attention focus? All those backdoor cuts
Speaker 5: by the Lakers in this game. I don't know what
Speaker 5: the Clippers thought they were getting into tonight, but they
Speaker 5: didn't have the requisite fight that you need to have
Speaker 5: and that they typically always have against the Lakers. I
Speaker 5: don't care is not available, Lebron still is. Clippers lose
Speaker 5: by twenty five to the Lakers. Here it into a dome.

Speaker 5: being a great defense. Last six games now their twenty
Speaker 5: first defense, second on the year, so you know it's there.

Speaker 5: and welcome back into a Dome. After they lose one
Speaker 5: twenty two to ninety seven to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Speaker 5: We're tied with them in the season series one to one.
Speaker 5: Just brought up this quote from Joey Lynn All Air
Speaker 5: from Kawhi Leonard saying, I feel like our second team
Speaker 5: has to get better the start of that second quarter.
Speaker 5: It's kind of been like that since I've been back.
Speaker 5: Some may interpret that as they just gotta get better
Speaker 5: as a unit. Some may interpret that as Kawhi want
Speaker 5: them to improve the roster. Then again, if Kawhi felt
Speaker 5: that way, he might just say it and it actually
Speaker 5: parts his words. Here was tylu more from what he
Speaker 5: said postgame. This is a quote from Joey Lynn from
Speaker 5: coach lou we have to take pride in guarding That's
Speaker 5: who we've been all season. We gotta be better. We
Speaker 5: got to look ourselves in the mirror and think about
Speaker 5: do we want to win or not. Three games in
Speaker 5: a row we come out with not a good defensive
Speaker 5: performance and just not putting enough into the game. When
Speaker 5: that happens, you get blown out. Someone asked, is it
Speaker 5: an effort issue? Coach Lou said, quote, focus, effort, intensity,
Speaker 5: whatever you want to call it, we're not bringing it.
Speaker 5: We got to fix for that. It's everything we've been
Speaker 5: talking about postgame, Coach Lou said it, and that's it
Speaker 5: right there. They've identified the problem. They've addressed it. They're
Speaker 5: talking about looking in the mirror, so everybody can talk
Speaker 5: about us as being the Clippers need to go out
Speaker 5: and make a big move or make a big trade
Speaker 5: and all these things like we've seen for the majority
Speaker 5: of the season. They have the guys internally to be
Speaker 5: a very good ball club. But Coach Lou also stressed
Speaker 5: pregame saying that look worth the type of team. We
Speaker 5: can beat anybody, but we can also get beat and
Speaker 5: tonight you see that against an under man, shorthanded Lakers
Speaker 5: team that doesn't even have Luca yet and didn't have
Speaker 5: ad Obviously, that's how this goes, so you've gotten by
Speaker 5: on playing hard. The reason your record is where it
Speaker 5: is at twenty eight and twenty two is because of
Speaker 5: these things. Playing hard, playing with intensity, winning the hustle categories,
Speaker 5: doing the little things. When that stuff goes, you don't
Speaker 5: have enough talent to make up for it. Those are
Speaker 5: non negotiables. You have to do those things to win
Speaker 5: ball games. That's what you've been living off of all
Speaker 5: season long. You can't have a letdown because oh Kuhi's back.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying that's where it is, but right now,
Speaker 5: that's my best theory for the slippage defensively. Last six games,
Speaker 5: were there twenty first defensively and on the season they're second.
Speaker 5: You know how good you have to be to hold
Speaker 5: on to being second defensively overall in the season when
Speaker 5: you have a six game stretch where you're twenty first,
Speaker 5: and that tells you just how good they have been
Speaker 5: on the defensive end, because they can go six games
Speaker 5: and play this poorly defensively and they're still second defensively
Speaker 5: on the year. So get back to it. That's what
Speaker 5: you do. If there's tired legs, I guess you gotta
Speaker 5: switch up minutes and rotations, but no excuse for Thursday
Speaker 5: night for having tired legs when nobody played more than
Speaker 5: thirty minutes. I hope everyone gets some good rest, regroups,
Speaker 5: hits the reseaid button, and gets back to basics. The
Speaker 5: basics for this Clippers team. Defense, defense, defense, that's it.
Speaker 5: That's their makeup, that's their character, that's their identity, that's
Speaker 5: their DNA. They got to do it at a high level. Focus, intensity, grit, sure,
Speaker 5: DJ and Chris Dunne having two fouls early on that
Speaker 5: definitely affects things. Not to this degree. I expect a
Speaker 5: completely different Clippers team that we have come to love,
Speaker 5: come to know on this season show up on Thursday.
Speaker 5: The real Clippers. Will the real Clippers defense please stand up?
Speaker 5: That's it. Just do what you do best, be yourself
Speaker 5: out there. That's how you win ball games. Indiana. Hey,
Speaker 5: I know the Pacers. They low to a hot Portland
Speaker 5: team one twelve to eighty nine. Guess what, overall they
Speaker 5: have been playing better. They got a day off tomorrow too.
Speaker 5: They're gonna be wanting to respond. That's not an easy ballgame.
Speaker 5: And we got the trade deadline coming up at noon
Speaker 5: on Thursday, as well. Before we get out of here,
Speaker 5: I do want to thank the Clippers organization, Ralph Lawler,
Speaker 5: Brian Sieman, Noah Eagle, Carlo Jimenez on the call, big
Speaker 5: brother Jake Warner, our head engineer, our statistician Chris Taylor,
Speaker 5: and back in the bank producer Daniel West. Until Thursday,
Speaker 5: with the Clippers taking on the Pacers back here into
Speaker 5: a dome, tip off at seven thirty pregame at six thirty.
Speaker 5: I'm out of Moslem. We'll talk to you then,
