Speaker 1: Well, Waters three was wet and the Clippers fall on
Speaker 1: a game winner in preseason game number one by the
Speaker 1: three ball from Waters ninety one to ninety in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Speaker 1: Welcome into your postgame Clippers talk show. I'm at a
Speaker 1: Moslin Coming up, we'll get to your final box score.
Speaker 1: Chuck Mockler will be here from Clips and dipp But
Speaker 1: first back out to Stan Sheriff Center with your radio
Speaker 1: voice of the Clippers in Carlojmenez. Carlo, we had a
Speaker 1: fun one down the stretch and it was Waters World
Speaker 1: late there. I guess for Golden State.
Speaker 2: Five is seven out of impressive stuff from Lindy Waters
Speaker 2: to no surprise, im press He goes out and drafts
Speaker 2: a guy in this late second round, and.
Speaker 3: What does he get? A pure shooter who was able
Speaker 3: to knock down a ton of three. He's finished the
Speaker 3: game with.
Speaker 2: A team high fifteen points, and he got the look
Speaker 2: you wanted, he got the space he wanted, and he
Speaker 2: knocked down the three after the Clippers defense was impressive
Speaker 2: and you get two deflections on that last possession, you
Speaker 2: get one stop. You think you're good with one point seven?
Speaker 2: Lendy a little too much space a little too late.
Speaker 2: Good learning for that young group. It was fun to
Speaker 2: watch the entire time. Fun to call. I think Clippers
Speaker 2: basketball being back. We missed it, we needed it. As
Speaker 2: you said, we didn't feel whole. I feel a lot
Speaker 2: better and I can't wait.
Speaker 3: To do it again on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, Clippers game number two against the Brooklyn Nets
Speaker 1: from Oceanside in San Diego at the clippers new g
Speaker 1: G Unit G League facility. We'll have some fun there
Speaker 1: as well. I believe that's a radio exclusive. But more
Speaker 1: in the second half of this one before we get
Speaker 1: to the starters. Kobe Brown really asserted himself well in
Speaker 1: that second half, especially with eleven points nine boards when
Speaker 1: the Clippers couldn't find any offense. In fact, they had
Speaker 1: just three points five minutes into the second half. Kobe
Speaker 1: Brown kind of took control of this ball game for
Speaker 1: the Clippers on that end, Carlo, he was aggressive, Adam.
Speaker 2: I almost wonder if Coach lou is going to go
Speaker 2: back there and ask him to be a little more aggressive.
Speaker 2: Team high twenty seven minutes felt like he could have
Speaker 2: taken a couple more shots. Heke he was getting by
Speaker 2: Quinton post time and time again, but towards the end
Speaker 2: of the game, getting into the paint and hesitating a
Speaker 2: little bit looking for his teammates. There's an opportunity here
Speaker 2: for everybody, but I think especially for Kobe Brown, because
Speaker 2: what separates him from maybe the rest of the guards
Speaker 2: at him is the size. For Kobe Brown, you're talking
Speaker 2: about toony pick seven, two forty. He's got the length,
Speaker 2: he's got the width, He's a lot quicker. It seems
Speaker 2: like this offseason, I feel like he looks a lot
Speaker 2: more comfortable with the basketball than we've seen in seasons before,
Speaker 2: and he's gonna have opportunities. Look, Ocean Side's coming up quick,
Speaker 2: Clippers Fly, don't get in till two to three am tonight,
Speaker 2: uh into LA.
Speaker 3: Don't expect a lot of those starters to play.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of the guys who played the
Speaker 2: second half on will get even more minutes when we
Speaker 2: see them in front way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe some more from Jordan Matt Jordan Miller, excuse me,
Speaker 1: maybe some more from Cam Christy Bones Highland had a
Speaker 1: couple of buckets for them. But let's talk about the starters.
Speaker 1: Because it was the James Hardnevitz's Zuboch Show with a
Speaker 1: little bit of Norton Kyle sprinkled in in that first half.
Speaker 1: James Harden, We've talked a lot about his conditioning and
Speaker 1: where he looks, and he's mentioned it himself. This is
Speaker 1: the best shape he's been in in almost seven years
Speaker 1: right now, and it showed in that first half. He
Speaker 1: had a quick first step. He also was able to
Speaker 1: draw a four point play. I like what we're seeing
Speaker 1: right now from the bearded wonder and a system that
Speaker 1: he is in James Harden.
Speaker 3: Yeah, eight assists, Adam.
Speaker 2: The Clippers is a team had twenty one to day,
Speaker 2: so you do want to talk about a system. When
Speaker 2: he was on the floor, they were moving the basketball.
Speaker 2: Two steals as well. It was fun to watch James
Speaker 2: Harden really conduct the offense. I feel like it took
Speaker 2: us a while last year to watch him take the
Speaker 2: reins of the offense, but clearly he is comfortable in
Speaker 2: that role. That's exactly the role he played today and
Speaker 2: the Clippers no need to have him warm up to
Speaker 2: a group of three other Hall of famers like he
Speaker 2: did last season. You see the difference in his comfortability.
Speaker 2: He was excellent today also throughout the game at him
Speaker 2: hawking to teammates, talking to guys on the floor, speaking
Speaker 2: with Chris dunnin throughout the second half, being a communicator,
Speaker 2: being a team leader. This is someone who loves ball.
Speaker 2: I think James Harden sometimes doesn't get the rap he
Speaker 2: deserves when it comes to the work he puts in
Speaker 2: and how often he's in the gym, how much he's working.
Speaker 2: Clearly it's working for him right now. But also that leadership,
Speaker 2: that second component is so good to see because he's
Speaker 2: gonna have to be the head of the snake. As
Speaker 2: you talked about with Loan Murray earlier this week, this
Speaker 2: is his team. I mean, this is his team, and
Speaker 2: James Harden looked like this was his team today the
Speaker 2: way he conducted things.
Speaker 1: And he is very comfortable running the show. He's been
Speaker 1: doing it for a long time. A James Harden offense
Speaker 1: tends to be a very efficient. One part of the
Speaker 1: reason is he loves using his big man roll into
Speaker 1: the basket and finding him for some easy ones. And
Speaker 1: in this ballgame, in just eighteen minutes, Big Zoo had
Speaker 1: fourteen and six five of six from the floor, and
Speaker 1: I like the arrea moves we saw from him, finishing
Speaker 1: with the right hand finishing with the left hand co
Speaker 1: ordinations there. Big Zoo is primed for a big season here, Carlo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks so comfortable at him in the paint,
Speaker 2: double team, triple team, it didn't really matter. He looked
Speaker 2: like he could get to any spot he wanted. Even
Speaker 2: had one post up where he took a couple of dribbles,
Speaker 2: spins right shoulder, gets to that right hand and just
Speaker 2: an easy finish over the top. Zubots look good. The
Speaker 2: Clippers clearly trying to post him up more, be more
Speaker 2: assertive with him. Good to see him seeming like he's
Speaker 2: in tip top shape. Him and James Harden combining for
Speaker 2: twenty seven in this one, both of them leading the
Speaker 2: way for the Clippers. That's what they're gonna need. It's
Speaker 2: gonna have to be that one two punch. The Clippers
Speaker 2: finished bottom ten in pick and roll a season ago.
Speaker 2: It has to be higher than that this season. And
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if that. James Harden to beats
Speaker 2: the Zubots pick and roll and James Hardy got Clincapela
Speaker 2: a lot of money and a lot of touches. Over
Speaker 2: there at Houston, I could see Aviata Zubats getting the
Speaker 2: same sort of treatment here with James Harden as his mate.
Speaker 3: In the pick and roll with the Clippers.
Speaker 1: Norman Powell was cash on the first bucket of the
Speaker 1: ball game with that three pointer he knocked down on
Speaker 1: his way to eleven points and a ficient eleven. Of course,
Speaker 1: it's Norman Palell five of seven shooting, but the aggressiveness
Speaker 1: he got the start, and I felt like he made
Speaker 1: the most of that opportunity here in preseason game number one.
Speaker 2: Every year at him, he has said, I want to
Speaker 2: start for this team, and this is probably the best
Speaker 2: opportunity he's had since being a Clipper. With the absence
Speaker 2: of Paul George, Norman Pal's got a chance to be
Speaker 2: a consistent starter with this team and it's his for
Speaker 2: the taking. And he finished positive in the plus minus
Speaker 2: you talked about it uber efficient. Even got an assist
Speaker 2: and a rebound in there along with a block shot.
Speaker 2: He was active on the defensive end and got a
Speaker 2: lot of deflections his hands on the basketball. It was
Speaker 2: nice to see Norman Powell be that efficient player not
Speaker 2: take too many steps. The floater was working for him.
Speaker 2: If Norman pal can get to that downhill with the
Speaker 2: left hand. That right handed floater off the box is
Speaker 2: something he loves to get to got it going early.
Speaker 2: He was aggressive and it was good to see the
Speaker 2: Clippers clearly getting prime norm which they're gonna need. I mean,
Speaker 2: you've talked to it. Defense is here. Offense might be
Speaker 2: at a premium for this Clipper team. That's what we
Speaker 2: know right now. We've watched them play forty eight minutes.
Speaker 2: We have four more of these games. We'll probably have
Speaker 2: different opinions at the end of that. But Norman Palin's
Speaker 2: got a chance to be a huge weapon for this
Speaker 2: Clippers team in that starting lineup.
Speaker 1: One more for you here, another weapon for this team
Speaker 1: I think could be KPJ. He came off the bench.
Speaker 1: He played sixteen minutes while he was just one of
Speaker 1: five from the field. That one loan bucket he made
Speaker 1: was a spinning jumper on the right elbow, a tough
Speaker 1: shot showing off the high skill level an aptitude to
Speaker 1: be able to score out there. He missed some gimmeis
Speaker 1: I think it's just a guy who hasn't played this
Speaker 1: high level of basketball in some time. But I'm interested
Speaker 1: to see how much run he ends up getting. Tuesday
Speaker 1: night in San Diego. Because this is someone who we
Speaker 1: know is very talented, as average nineteen points per game
Speaker 1: in this league, and I wonder how much of an
Speaker 1: opportunity he'll have here in the preseason to show off
Speaker 1: what he can do and see if he can knock
Speaker 1: off some of that Russ as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, the most impressive thing about Kevin Porter Junior,
Speaker 2: Like you said, the skill is there, I mean his
Speaker 2: ability to handle the basketball, to be comfortable in tight spaces.
Speaker 2: He's in the paint being sandwiched by three or four defenders,
Speaker 2: he does not look flustered, he does not look worrid.
Speaker 3: He gets to his spot. You know, a first game
Speaker 3: for him in a while at.
Speaker 2: The NBA level, obviously there's gonna be a little bit
Speaker 2: rust that he's going to have to knock off. We
Speaker 2: saw it with everyone here. Curry started zero for six,
Speaker 2: Kevin Knox missed his first dunk. No one really outside
Speaker 2: of Norman Poll seemed that comfortable right out of the gates,
Speaker 2: So no surprise there. I'm sure he'll get more run.
Speaker 2: Sixteen minutes today. Did get to the free throw line
Speaker 2: a lot, five for seven from the line in those
Speaker 2: sixteen minutes. I believe he shot seven free throws in
Speaker 2: the first seven minutes of action too, So more opportunities
Speaker 2: for Kevin Porter Junior. There's a reason the Clippers scheduled
Speaker 2: five preseason games. They don't know exactly what they have.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of newness to this team, and that's
Speaker 2: what they're going to get to figure out in these
Speaker 2: next four contests, and we'll continue to just learn more
Speaker 2: to add more. As Tyleru talked about, it so much
Speaker 2: about who plays well. It's about who plays well with who,
Speaker 2: So combinations are the most important thing.
Speaker 3: And I thought Adam, after maybe the.
Speaker 2: Middle of the third quarter, the Clippers really found a
Speaker 2: rhythm offensively with that unit.
Speaker 3: They seem to ride the rest of the game.
Speaker 1: Looking for the pieces to fit and be a little
Speaker 1: bit more in sync. After they had a twenty turnover
Speaker 1: game in this one, but to their credit, only six
Speaker 1: turnovers in the second half of the Clippers they seem
Speaker 1: to get a handle on it. Tuesday night, as Carlo mentioned,
Speaker 1: Clippers will be in Ocean Side take it on the
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nets tiptime for that once at seven thirty. We'll
Speaker 1: have your pregame show right back here starting at six
Speaker 1: point thirty, Carlo, my friend safe travels. See you in
Speaker 1: San Diego. I think we may be carpooling together for
Speaker 1: that Clippers contest against the Nets.
Speaker 2: I can't wait, Adam gonna be a blast off to
Speaker 2: San Diego.
Speaker 3: We got another game. Let's call.
Speaker 1: We're back, baby, let's go. We're back and not done yet.
Speaker 1: Here in their Clippers postgame show, taking it till the
Speaker 1: top of the hours, the Clippers fall on a game
Speaker 1: winning three pointer by Waters Golden State Warriors ninety one
Speaker 1: to ninety in preseason game number one in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Speaker 1: More coming up next right here on the Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Clippers Audio Network, Sky's Blue Waters is wet with a
Speaker 1: three pointer to beat the Clippers in preseason game number one.
Speaker 1: Lindy Waters, the third makes it ninety one to ninety
Speaker 1: your final Golden State was down too late. They needed it,
Speaker 1: they got it, tough shot tip your cap, Clippers still
Speaker 1: held them to ninety one points. Welcome back into your
Speaker 1: postgame show. I'm at a Moslin if you're watching on
Speaker 1: the YouTube live side. Coming up in just a little
Speaker 1: bit here, we'll also have Charles Chuck mother on from
Speaker 1: Clips and dip. We'll get to shi of your questions.
Speaker 1: I want to get through some of the box score here, though,
Speaker 1: Clippers overall just hot shot just thirty eight and a
Speaker 1: half percent from the floor. Golden State was only at
Speaker 1: thirty four percent. The difference though the Clippers had six
Speaker 1: more turnovers after fourteen came in the first half, just
Speaker 1: six in the second half, but still a total of twenty.
Speaker 1: That was brutal. That's actually where the Golden State Warriors
Speaker 1: ended up. So the real difference offensive rebounds. Golden State
Speaker 1: was a plus ten in that area nineteen to nine.
Speaker 1: When it came to offensive rebounds, Golden State with the
Speaker 1: advantage there. Clippers did get to the charity shripe a
Speaker 1: lot thanks to James Harden, who went eight of eight
Speaker 1: and then Kevin Porter Junior who missed a couple five
Speaker 1: of seven from the free throw line. But I think
Speaker 1: that's one of the ways he can be a weapon
Speaker 1: for this team with his has he dribble, with his
Speaker 1: ability to get defenders off balance. He knows how to
Speaker 1: draw fowls. He's been called bargain ben James Harden, or
Speaker 1: a poor man's James Harden, you could say at times
Speaker 1: Kevin Porter Junior played sixteen minutes, didn't get I don't
Speaker 1: think any run in the second half, but ended up
Speaker 1: was seven points, just one of five shooting. I found
Speaker 1: his game to be interesting because the lefty there doesn't
Speaker 1: remind you a little bit of James Harden a lot
Speaker 1: of Iso ball. He isn't a future Hall of Famer
Speaker 1: or even close at this point. James Harden, he looked
Speaker 1: like all of it in this game. Seventeen minutes, thirteen points,
Speaker 1: eight assists. He only had two turnovers, and he did
Speaker 1: all that work in just seventeen minutes, including a step
Speaker 1: back three pointer he got to go and one four
Speaker 1: point play drew the foul as he has been doing
Speaker 1: for so long and defenders keep falling for it. Had
Speaker 1: showed some nice burst off with getting a bucket to
Speaker 1: go with the left hand, scoop shot at the rim
Speaker 1: as he blew by a defender. Also had a couple
Speaker 1: of steals the quick hands James Harden showed those off
Speaker 1: beatz zubos. He was the recipient of a lot of
Speaker 1: those passes from James Harden. With those eight assists, I
Speaker 1: don't know how many wins a big zoo I'd say
Speaker 1: at least four beats of Zubos, got five buckets to go,
Speaker 1: had fourteen and six to use. The right hand, used
Speaker 1: the left hand, had a big throwdown with both hands.
Speaker 1: Big Zoo is him and must be featured more this
Speaker 1: season if the Clippers are going to be successful. Paul
Speaker 1: George and Philly, now you got to make up for
Speaker 1: some of that offensive production of Vitza Zoobots has been
Speaker 1: ready for some time now to step into that role
Speaker 1: and fill the void and fill up the box score.
Speaker 1: Now when it comes to points, fourteen points in just
Speaker 1: eighteen minutes for Vitza Zubos did have three turnovers. Has
Speaker 1: to be careful there. Norman Palell looked to be in
Speaker 1: mid season fom he got the start. Your starting lineup
Speaker 1: was djj Avitza Zubots, James Harden, Norman Palell and Chris
Speaker 1: Dunn and well Norman Powell getting this starting opportunity and
Speaker 1: also is trying to fill it up a little bit
Speaker 1: with no Paul George. Fifteen minutes, five of seven hit
Speaker 1: the first bucket of a game, the game a three pointer.
Speaker 1: Finished with eleven points in fifteen minutes, one of two
Speaker 1: overall from distance. As I mentioned five of seven from
Speaker 1: the floor or also had a really nice block defensively
Speaker 1: on the far side short quarter where he was defending,
Speaker 1: and that is something he's gonna have to do. Norman Powell,
Speaker 1: He's got to look much better on the defensive end
Speaker 1: and with his playmaking if he wants to be in
Speaker 1: the starting lineup. But if the Clippers don't have Kawhi Leonard,
Speaker 1: may just be out of necessity that he plays more
Speaker 1: and gets a few starts here and there, maybe early
Speaker 1: on maybe October twenty third, first game it into a Dome,
Speaker 1: first game of the season for the Clippers against the
Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns. We'll see they need more scoring punch if
Speaker 1: they're not gonna have Kawhi Leonard to start the season.
Speaker 1: And we'll update you on Kawhi in just a little bit.
Speaker 1: Norman Powell maybe looked upon to start ball games, even
Speaker 1: though we know how great he is coming off the bench.
Speaker 1: Maybe Dennis Kevin Porter, Junior foll in that role. Bones
Speaker 1: Hyland he had his moments here, but I'm still a
Speaker 1: little bit concerned on whether or not the coaching staff
Speaker 1: values him and what he can bring considering the guys
Speaker 1: they brought in with Chris Dunn and with Kevin Porter Junior,
Speaker 1: it just looks like the riding is on the wall
Speaker 1: that maybe bones Highlands days as a Clipper appear to
Speaker 1: be numbered a little bit if they decide to move him.
Speaker 1: If a team would like to make a move for him,
Speaker 1: we'll see. It takes two to tango kai Jones trying
Speaker 1: to get that final two way spot. He's competing there.
Speaker 1: No Bobamba, he was out with the knee injury. So
Speaker 1: kai Jones plays twenty two minutes and I want to
Speaker 1: say about fifteen straight at one point in the second half,
Speaker 1: played the entire third quarter just four points. Right before
Speaker 1: he came out of the ballgame, he had a nice
Speaker 1: little scoop layup and one couldn't make the free throw,
Speaker 1: but had a dunk on a three on one before
Speaker 1: that problem was overall, kai Jones just a little bit
Speaker 1: helter skelter with it. Was inconsistent offensively and just didn't
Speaker 1: look that comfortable out there. The athleticism is there, the
Speaker 1: feel for the game. At times, it just seems like
Speaker 1: it's moving too fast for him. He really wasn't setting
Speaker 1: tough screens, wasn't being as physical there. I know the
Speaker 1: coaching staff will likely get on him for that did
Speaker 1: have a couple of blocks, but he just needs to
Speaker 1: be a little bit more in tune offensively and then
Speaker 1: also show some more fundamentals when it comes to boxing
Speaker 1: out to your man, even though he did have six boards.
Speaker 1: Clippers fall ninety one to nine. You on a game
Speaker 1: winning three pointer by Waters for the Golden State Warriors
Speaker 1: and preseason game number one in Honolulu, Hawaii coming up
Speaker 1: will app Chuck Mockler on from Clips in demp As.
Speaker 1: We're taking you to the top of the hour here
Speaker 1: in the Clippers post game show on the Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Clippers Audio Network, Lendy Waters was hot, a little too
Speaker 1: hot with that three porter to win it over the
Speaker 1: Clippers ninety one to ninety or final in preseason game
Speaker 1: number one from Honolulu, Hawaii. Welcome back in I'm oudam Oslin.
Speaker 1: This is your Clippers postgame show. Clippers next contest coming
Speaker 1: up preseason game number two in Oceanside. It will be
Speaker 1: a seven thirty tip pregame starting right back here at
Speaker 1: six point thirty on the Patriot AM eleven fifty, or
Speaker 1: you could watch on Clippers Talk on YouTube. Speaking up
Speaker 1: joining the show right now is our friend Chuck Mockler here,
Speaker 1: who you can now see.
Speaker 3: That's how you doing.
Speaker 4: I'm doing pretty good. Buzzer beater loss against the Warriors
Speaker 4: in the preseason doesn't feel great, but I don't know,
Speaker 4: it's game one. I'm trying not to reoreact. I'm mostly
Speaker 4: just excited that Harden to look so solid together and
Speaker 4: it feels like we are seeing some good process building
Speaker 4: with like Terrence and Chris Dunn in terms of crashing
Speaker 4: the boards and stuff like that. So I'm trying to
Speaker 4: just hold on to the positives.
Speaker 1: That's a great point. I thought Terrence Man had a
Speaker 1: couple of really nice rebounds, just securing the basketball, boxing
Speaker 1: out his man, doing the little things, and that is
Speaker 1: something that is going to be asked of him and
Speaker 1: everyone collectively. Because they're playing small a lot, they haven't
Speaker 1: been a good rebounding team. The only way to improve
Speaker 1: is to find your man and put a body on him,
Speaker 1: and Terrence Man was able to do that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was nice to see, and you look at
Speaker 4: his shot attempts. His one make was a pretty crazy
Speaker 4: reverse layup that was cool to see, but he passed
Speaker 4: up with three to take it, which I hope that changes.
Speaker 4: I know that's kind of what we've all been clamoring
Speaker 4: for With Terrence Man. He didn't start tonight, which I'm
Speaker 4: not ready to read a bunch into yet. I think
Speaker 4: if he doesn't start a single preseason game, then maybe
Speaker 4: we talked. But I think part of it was giving
Speaker 4: Jeff Van Gundy stuff to yell about to the team.
Speaker 4: Whither still and he has a lot to yell about
Speaker 4: after today's game.
Speaker 1: I miscus a lot of turnovers, fourteen of them in
Speaker 1: the first half. They cleaned it up a little bit
Speaker 1: in the second half with just six of them. They
Speaker 1: also only had three points the first five minutes of
Speaker 1: the second half of the ballgame, which was rough to see.
Speaker 1: And then Kobe Brown kind of did what Kobe Brown
Speaker 1: does at his best, which is running off as through him,
Speaker 1: let him be the decision maker. Also made some scrappy plays,
Speaker 1: had a nice putback, but drove right, drove left. This
Speaker 1: was a good game from Kobe Brown.
Speaker 4: I feel like, yeah, started in foul trouble, which I
Speaker 4: feel like is something we can say every time that
Speaker 4: he comes into a game, and maybe have said that
Speaker 4: he lacks some foot speed which gets him into foul
Speaker 4: trouble early, but he did what he usually does. Like
Speaker 4: you mentioned, he settles well too. He kind of understands
Speaker 4: when how to play whatever reffing is happening. Albeit after
Speaker 4: getting some fouls but no good decisions. He bullied small defenders.
Speaker 4: I mean, he had the most boards on the team.
Speaker 4: He's almost at a double double, which is pretty surprising.
Speaker 4: But I thought it was nice that him and Jordan
Speaker 4: Miller were trusted in those moments, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: Like the sure it's nic see the good process, but
Speaker 4: seeing TYLERU be like, hey, this is a close game.
Speaker 4: You guys are the two who have the best chance
Speaker 4: of kind of anyone on the court right now to
Speaker 4: get real time. Let's see what you can do in
Speaker 4: crunch time with real coaching happening.
Speaker 1: Every People are talking in the comments section saying we
Speaker 1: want more Jordan Miller. Well, he played eighteen minutes and
Speaker 1: only may in one shot, but did have the two
Speaker 1: deflections on the inbounds past at the very end before
Speaker 1: Golden State got the victory. I think this is a
Speaker 1: good example of there's levels to this because while I
Speaker 1: expect him to play more and to play better and
Speaker 1: look for his offense a little bit more. He got
Speaker 1: a little runner in the lane, a push shot to go,
Speaker 1: something he did a lot in the Summer League. But
Speaker 1: you look at where a Mere Coffee's at when it
Speaker 1: comes to offensive production, and he had a quick seven
Speaker 1: points in just ten minutes and look like a man
Speaker 1: amongst boys. Also had a really good defensive play in
Speaker 1: transition where the Clippers struggled all game. It's like, guys
Speaker 1: get a namor with Jordan Miller because they saw him
Speaker 1: playing against lesser competition in the Summer League. If a
Speaker 1: Mere Coffee is playing in the Summer League, he's the MVP.
Speaker 1: You know, it's really difficult to evaluate guys depending on competition.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I am high on Jordan Miller, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: but maybe we should pump the brakes on him taking
Speaker 1: the spot of a Mere Coffee right now. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was surprised. You know, they law tweeted out that
Speaker 4: list of ten guys who practiced with Tyler the other day,
Speaker 4: and I know it is just preseason. Things change, but
Speaker 4: Jordan Miller's name wasn't in that ten, which I thought
Speaker 4: was kind of interesting. I hope we see that progress,
Speaker 4: and I hope his camp gets better, I think they
Speaker 4: know what they have offensively with Jordan Miller. You get
Speaker 4: him downhill, and Justin Russo tweeted this, he can make
Speaker 4: things happen, and the Clippers are gonna need a guy
Speaker 4: to just kind of make some stuff happen at some points.
Speaker 4: So his defense is where he needs to show that
Speaker 4: he fits into this Clippers team. I think he has
Speaker 4: a longer wingspan than a mirror, which is kind of
Speaker 4: a mer's main knock is that he he has like
Speaker 4: a neutral wingspan. So if he can get again and
Speaker 4: this is a common thread with all the young guys, right,
Speaker 4: if they can get their defense right, they're going to
Speaker 4: you know, clamor for some time in these Slippers lineups.
Speaker 1: I know he looked rusty at times, but I still
Speaker 1: felt like I saw the guy who averaged nineteen points
Speaker 1: per game for the Houston Rockets a little bit and
Speaker 1: Kevin Porter Junior and just the way you can handle
Speaker 1: the ball. I so the bucket he got was a
Speaker 1: crazy turnaround right elbow kind of fatal way jumper. You
Speaker 1: see the skill set. And I made the gutsy proclamation
Speaker 1: or maybe gave into the angry mob who's been saying
Speaker 1: he needs to start at the two spot that at
Speaker 1: some point this season, I do think he's going to

Speaker 1: statement did I just make?
Speaker 4: I don't so for those of you who missed the game,
Speaker 4: and I just want to run the just the box score,
Speaker 4: because I watched three quarters of this game.
Speaker 3: Forgive me.
Speaker 4: I did not watch the fourth quarter. I did watch
Speaker 4: us lose on the buzzer beater. But Kevin Porter was
Speaker 4: one for five. He was a team worse minus eleven,
Speaker 4: and he had four turnovers. So I don't know. Again,
Speaker 4: some of that his lineup stuff, we just have to
Speaker 4: wait and see. He looked rusty. I don't think like
Speaker 4: he looked like a guy who hadn't played in a minute.
Speaker 4: But you can see the athleticism. You just hope the
Speaker 4: decision makings there and Wolf's I mean, he's beat out,
Speaker 4: you know, Jordan Miller and other guys for time with
Speaker 4: got like if you look at rotation tonight, which Tyler
Speaker 4: kind of said, don't go Chuck crazy, looking into you
Speaker 4: see a guy who is going to you know, maybe
Speaker 4: he's already clamoring for time and guys are gonna have
Speaker 4: to beat him out.
Speaker 1: We'll see if it happens. Tuesday night, Notion Side Clippers
