WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.040 Well, Waters three was wet and the Clippers fall on 2 00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:07.719 a game winner in preseason game number one by the 3 00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:11.720 three ball from Waters ninety one to ninety in Honolulu, Hawaii. 4 00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:15.519 Welcome into your postgame Clippers talk show. I'm at a 5 00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:18.120 Moslin Coming up, we'll get to your final box score. 6 00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:20.199 Chuck Mockler will be here from Clips and dipp But 7 00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:23.839 first back out to Stan Sheriff Center with your radio 8 00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.480 voice of the Clippers in Carlojmenez. Carlo, we had a 9 00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.519 fun one down the stretch and it was Waters World 10 00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:32.479 late there. I guess for Golden State. 11 00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:35.799 Five is seven out of impressive stuff from Lindy Waters 12 00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:38.679 to no surprise, im press He goes out and drafts 13 00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:40.240 a guy in this late second round, and. 14 00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:42.520 What does he get? A pure shooter who was able 15 00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:44.359 to knock down a ton of three. He's finished the 16 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:44.759 game with. 17 00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:49.000 A team high fifteen points, and he got the look 18 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.359 you wanted, he got the space he wanted, and he 19 00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.560 knocked down the three after the Clippers defense was impressive 20 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.039 and you get two deflections on that last possession, you 21 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:58.799 get one stop. You think you're good with one point seven? 22 00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.240 Lendy a little too much space a little too late. 23 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:05.319 Good learning for that young group. It was fun to 24 00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.519 watch the entire time. Fun to call. I think Clippers 25 00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:10.719 basketball being back. We missed it, we needed it. As 26 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:12.799 you said, we didn't feel whole. I feel a lot 27 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:14.159 better and I can't wait. 28 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.439 To do it again on Tuesday. 29 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.879 Yes, sir, Clippers game number two against the Brooklyn Nets 30 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.680 from Oceanside in San Diego at the clippers new g 31 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:30.599 G Unit G League facility. We'll have some fun there 32 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.599 as well. I believe that's a radio exclusive. But more 33 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:35.519 in the second half of this one before we get 34 00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:39.480 to the starters. Kobe Brown really asserted himself well in 35 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:43.920 that second half, especially with eleven points nine boards when 36 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.480 the Clippers couldn't find any offense. In fact, they had 37 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.400 just three points five minutes into the second half. Kobe 38 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:51.719 Brown kind of took control of this ball game for 39 00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.040 the Clippers on that end, Carlo, he was aggressive, Adam. 40 00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:56.760 I almost wonder if Coach lou is going to go 41 00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:58.719 back there and ask him to be a little more aggressive. 42 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:00.879 Team high twenty seven minutes felt like he could have 43 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.519 taken a couple more shots. Heke he was getting by 44 00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.200 Quinton post time and time again, but towards the end 45 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.400 of the game, getting into the paint and hesitating a 46 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.919 little bit looking for his teammates. There's an opportunity here 47 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.639 for everybody, but I think especially for Kobe Brown, because 48 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.159 what separates him from maybe the rest of the guards 49 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:19.680 at him is the size. For Kobe Brown, you're talking 50 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.879 about toony pick seven, two forty. He's got the length, 51 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.599 he's got the width, He's a lot quicker. It seems 52 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:27.319 like this offseason, I feel like he looks a lot 53 00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.759 more comfortable with the basketball than we've seen in seasons before, 54 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.000 and he's gonna have opportunities. Look, Ocean Side's coming up quick, 55 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.879 Clippers Fly, don't get in till two to three am tonight, 56 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:39.280 uh into LA. 57 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:41.680 Don't expect a lot of those starters to play. 58 00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:43.199 I think a lot of the guys who played the 59 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.599 second half on will get even more minutes when we 60 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:47.520 see them in front way. 61 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.159 Yeah, maybe some more from Jordan Matt Jordan Miller, excuse me, 62 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.080 maybe some more from Cam Christy Bones Highland had a 63 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:57.360 couple of buckets for them. But let's talk about the starters. 64 00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.000 Because it was the James Hardnevitz's Zuboch Show with a 65 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.360 little bit of Norton Kyle sprinkled in in that first half. 66 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.159 James Harden, We've talked a lot about his conditioning and 67 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.919 where he looks, and he's mentioned it himself. This is 68 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.479 the best shape he's been in in almost seven years 69 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.240 right now, and it showed in that first half. He 70 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.319 had a quick first step. He also was able to 71 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.759 draw a four point play. I like what we're seeing 72 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.840 right now from the bearded wonder and a system that 73 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:24.400 he is in James Harden. 74 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:25.800 Yeah, eight assists, Adam. 75 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.879 The Clippers is a team had twenty one to day, 76 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:29.759 so you do want to talk about a system. When 77 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.319 he was on the floor, they were moving the basketball. 78 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:36.080 Two steals as well. It was fun to watch James 79 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.000 Harden really conduct the offense. I feel like it took 80 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.759 us a while last year to watch him take the 81 00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:45.240 reins of the offense, but clearly he is comfortable in 82 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.280 that role. That's exactly the role he played today and 83 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.759 the Clippers no need to have him warm up to 84 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.080 a group of three other Hall of famers like he 85 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.560 did last season. You see the difference in his comfortability. 86 00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.919 He was excellent today also throughout the game at him 87 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.080 hawking to teammates, talking to guys on the floor, speaking 88 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.759 with Chris dunnin throughout the second half, being a communicator, 89 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.120 being a team leader. This is someone who loves ball. 90 00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:11.759 I think James Harden sometimes doesn't get the rap he 91 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:14.479 deserves when it comes to the work he puts in 92 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.519 and how often he's in the gym, how much he's working. 93 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.600 Clearly it's working for him right now. But also that leadership, 94 00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:24.759 that second component is so good to see because he's 95 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.480 gonna have to be the head of the snake. As 96 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.040 you talked about with Loan Murray earlier this week, this 97 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.439 is his team. I mean, this is his team, and 98 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.319 James Harden looked like this was his team today the 99 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:35.399 way he conducted things. 100 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.879 And he is very comfortable running the show. He's been 101 00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:41.160 doing it for a long time. A James Harden offense 102 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.800 tends to be a very efficient. One part of the 103 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:46.519 reason is he loves using his big man roll into 104 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.839 the basket and finding him for some easy ones. And 105 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.639 in this ballgame, in just eighteen minutes, Big Zoo had 106 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.240 fourteen and six five of six from the floor, and 107 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.879 I like the arrea moves we saw from him, finishing 108 00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.040 with the right hand finishing with the left hand co 109 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.800 ordinations there. Big Zoo is primed for a big season here, Carlo. 110 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:05.839 Yeah, he looks so comfortable at him in the paint, 111 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.560 double team, triple team, it didn't really matter. He looked 112 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:10.839 like he could get to any spot he wanted. Even 113 00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.040 had one post up where he took a couple of dribbles, 114 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.680 spins right shoulder, gets to that right hand and just 115 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.639 an easy finish over the top. Zubots look good. The 116 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.639 Clippers clearly trying to post him up more, be more 117 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:25.439 assertive with him. Good to see him seeming like he's 118 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.079 in tip top shape. Him and James Harden combining for 119 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.199 twenty seven in this one, both of them leading the 120 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.079 way for the Clippers. That's what they're gonna need. It's 121 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:34.800 gonna have to be that one two punch. The Clippers 122 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:36.959 finished bottom ten in pick and roll a season ago. 123 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:39.560 It has to be higher than that this season. And 124 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:41.839 I wouldn't be surprised if that. James Harden to beats 125 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.439 the Zubots pick and roll and James Hardy got Clincapela 126 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:46.879 a lot of money and a lot of touches. Over 127 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.720 there at Houston, I could see Aviata Zubats getting the 128 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:52.839 same sort of treatment here with James Harden as his mate. 129 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:55.480 In the pick and roll with the Clippers. 130 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:57.839 Norman Powell was cash on the first bucket of the 131 00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.079 ball game with that three pointer he knocked down on 132 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.600 his way to eleven points and a ficient eleven. Of course, 133 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:07.120 it's Norman Palell five of seven shooting, but the aggressiveness 134 00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:09.319 he got the start, and I felt like he made 135 00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.439 the most of that opportunity here in preseason game number one. 136 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:14.360 Every year at him, he has said, I want to 137 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.399 start for this team, and this is probably the best 138 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:21.120 opportunity he's had since being a Clipper. With the absence 139 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.000 of Paul George, Norman Pal's got a chance to be 140 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.480 a consistent starter with this team and it's his for 141 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:29.079 the taking. And he finished positive in the plus minus 142 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.959 you talked about it uber efficient. Even got an assist 143 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.720 and a rebound in there along with a block shot. 144 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:36.920 He was active on the defensive end and got a 145 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.839 lot of deflections his hands on the basketball. It was 146 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:42.920 nice to see Norman Powell be that efficient player not 147 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.720 take too many steps. The floater was working for him. 148 00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:47.920 If Norman pal can get to that downhill with the 149 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.399 left hand. That right handed floater off the box is 150 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.240 something he loves to get to got it going early. 151 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:55.680 He was aggressive and it was good to see the 152 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.439 Clippers clearly getting prime norm which they're gonna need. I mean, 153 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.360 you've talked to it. Defense is here. Offense might be 154 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:05.480 at a premium for this Clipper team. That's what we 155 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.600 know right now. We've watched them play forty eight minutes. 156 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:09.879 We have four more of these games. We'll probably have 157 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.160 different opinions at the end of that. But Norman Palin's 158 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:13.879 got a chance to be a huge weapon for this 159 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:15.439 Clippers team in that starting lineup. 160 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.319 One more for you here, another weapon for this team 161 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.600 I think could be KPJ. He came off the bench. 162 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:22.879 He played sixteen minutes while he was just one of 163 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:26.279 five from the field. That one loan bucket he made 164 00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.319 was a spinning jumper on the right elbow, a tough 165 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.360 shot showing off the high skill level an aptitude to 166 00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.480 be able to score out there. He missed some gimmeis 167 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.800 I think it's just a guy who hasn't played this 168 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.959 high level of basketball in some time. But I'm interested 169 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.800 to see how much run he ends up getting. Tuesday 170 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.639 night in San Diego. Because this is someone who we 171 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.519 know is very talented, as average nineteen points per game 172 00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.959 in this league, and I wonder how much of an 173 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:56.519 opportunity he'll have here in the preseason to show off 174 00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:57.920 what he can do and see if he can knock 175 00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:59.120 off some of that Russ as well. 176 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.759 Yeah, I mean, the most impressive thing about Kevin Porter Junior, 177 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:06.240 Like you said, the skill is there, I mean his 178 00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:09.560 ability to handle the basketball, to be comfortable in tight spaces. 179 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.000 He's in the paint being sandwiched by three or four defenders, 180 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.079 he does not look flustered, he does not look worrid. 181 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.879 He gets to his spot. You know, a first game 182 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:18.079 for him in a while at. 183 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.160 The NBA level, obviously there's gonna be a little bit 184 00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.120 rust that he's going to have to knock off. We 185 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.399 saw it with everyone here. Curry started zero for six, 186 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.160 Kevin Knox missed his first dunk. No one really outside 187 00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.480 of Norman Poll seemed that comfortable right out of the gates, 188 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.799 So no surprise there. I'm sure he'll get more run. 189 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.159 Sixteen minutes today. Did get to the free throw line 190 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:38.720 a lot, five for seven from the line in those 191 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:40.759 sixteen minutes. I believe he shot seven free throws in 192 00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:44.120 the first seven minutes of action too, So more opportunities 193 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.200 for Kevin Porter Junior. There's a reason the Clippers scheduled 194 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.919 five preseason games. They don't know exactly what they have. 195 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.440 There's a lot of newness to this team, and that's 196 00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:55.159 what they're going to get to figure out in these 197 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.720 next four contests, and we'll continue to just learn more 198 00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:00.399 to add more. As Tyleru talked about, it so much 199 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:03.440 about who plays well. It's about who plays well with who, 200 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:06.480 So combinations are the most important thing. 201 00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:08.759 And I thought Adam, after maybe the. 202 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:10.799 Middle of the third quarter, the Clippers really found a 203 00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:12.639 rhythm offensively with that unit. 204 00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:14.159 They seem to ride the rest of the game. 205 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.399 Looking for the pieces to fit and be a little 206 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.759 bit more in sync. After they had a twenty turnover 207 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.360 game in this one, but to their credit, only six 208 00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:24.399 turnovers in the second half of the Clippers they seem 209 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.240 to get a handle on it. Tuesday night, as Carlo mentioned, 210 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:28.919 Clippers will be in Ocean Side take it on the 211 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.360 Brooklyn Nets tiptime for that once at seven thirty. We'll 212 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:34.399 have your pregame show right back here starting at six 213 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:38.039 point thirty, Carlo, my friend safe travels. See you in 214 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:40.879 San Diego. I think we may be carpooling together for 215 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.279 that Clippers contest against the Nets. 216 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.159 I can't wait, Adam gonna be a blast off to 217 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:46.919 San Diego. 218 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:49.159 We got another game. Let's call. 219 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:52.720 We're back, baby, let's go. We're back and not done yet. 220 00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.519 Here in their Clippers postgame show, taking it till the 221 00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:58.559 top of the hours, the Clippers fall on a game 222 00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:01.519 winning three pointer by Waters Golden State Warriors ninety one 223 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.000 to ninety in preseason game number one in Honolulu, Hawaii. 224 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.000 More coming up next right here on the Los Angeles 225 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:25.679 Clippers Audio Network, Sky's Blue Waters is wet with a 226 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:29.840 three pointer to beat the Clippers in preseason game number one. 227 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.480 Lindy Waters, the third makes it ninety one to ninety 228 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:38.240 your final Golden State was down too late. They needed it, 229 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:41.759 they got it, tough shot tip your cap, Clippers still 230 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.360 held them to ninety one points. Welcome back into your 231 00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:46.759 postgame show. I'm at a Moslin if you're watching on 232 00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:49.360 the YouTube live side. Coming up in just a little 233 00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.840 bit here, we'll also have Charles Chuck mother on from 234 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.480 Clips and dip. We'll get to shi of your questions. 235 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:57.639 I want to get through some of the box score here, though, 236 00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.799 Clippers overall just hot shot just thirty eight and a 237 00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.360 half percent from the floor. Golden State was only at 238 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.919 thirty four percent. The difference though the Clippers had six 239 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.759 more turnovers after fourteen came in the first half, just 240 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.759 six in the second half, but still a total of twenty. 241 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:16.799 That was brutal. That's actually where the Golden State Warriors 242 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:21.639 ended up. So the real difference offensive rebounds. Golden State 243 00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:24.960 was a plus ten in that area nineteen to nine. 244 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.159 When it came to offensive rebounds, Golden State with the 245 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.600 advantage there. Clippers did get to the charity shripe a 246 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.320 lot thanks to James Harden, who went eight of eight 247 00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:37.039 and then Kevin Porter Junior who missed a couple five 248 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:38.759 of seven from the free throw line. But I think 249 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:40.159 that's one of the ways he can be a weapon 250 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.519 for this team with his has he dribble, with his 251 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.440 ability to get defenders off balance. He knows how to 252 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:51.399 draw fowls. He's been called bargain ben James Harden, or 253 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:53.960 a poor man's James Harden, you could say at times 254 00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:57.919 Kevin Porter Junior played sixteen minutes, didn't get I don't 255 00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:00.000 think any run in the second half, but ended up 256 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:02.679 was seven points, just one of five shooting. I found 257 00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:06.000 his game to be interesting because the lefty there doesn't 258 00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:08.200 remind you a little bit of James Harden a lot 259 00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:11.960 of Iso ball. He isn't a future Hall of Famer 260 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:15.399 or even close at this point. James Harden, he looked 261 00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:19.200 like all of it in this game. Seventeen minutes, thirteen points, 262 00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:22.279 eight assists. He only had two turnovers, and he did 263 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.080 all that work in just seventeen minutes, including a step 264 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.399 back three pointer he got to go and one four 265 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.399 point play drew the foul as he has been doing 266 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:34.360 for so long and defenders keep falling for it. Had 267 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:36.720 showed some nice burst off with getting a bucket to 268 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:39.399 go with the left hand, scoop shot at the rim 269 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.440 as he blew by a defender. Also had a couple 270 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:44.559 of steals the quick hands James Harden showed those off 271 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.559 beatz zubos. He was the recipient of a lot of 272 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:51.159 those passes from James Harden. With those eight assists, I 273 00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:52.960 don't know how many wins a big zoo I'd say 274 00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.519 at least four beats of Zubos, got five buckets to go, 275 00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:00.679 had fourteen and six to use. The right hand, used 276 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:04.159 the left hand, had a big throwdown with both hands. 277 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:08.399 Big Zoo is him and must be featured more this 278 00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.279 season if the Clippers are going to be successful. Paul 279 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.080 George and Philly, now you got to make up for 280 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.000 some of that offensive production of Vitza Zoobots has been 281 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.879 ready for some time now to step into that role 282 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:21.600 and fill the void and fill up the box score. 283 00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:24.159 Now when it comes to points, fourteen points in just 284 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:27.480 eighteen minutes for Vitza Zubos did have three turnovers. Has 285 00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.120 to be careful there. Norman Palell looked to be in 286 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:34.200 mid season fom he got the start. Your starting lineup 287 00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:38.320 was djj Avitza Zubots, James Harden, Norman Palell and Chris 288 00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:42.639 Dunn and well Norman Powell getting this starting opportunity and 289 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:45.080 also is trying to fill it up a little bit 290 00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:48.879 with no Paul George. Fifteen minutes, five of seven hit 291 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.159 the first bucket of a game, the game a three pointer. 292 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:55.960 Finished with eleven points in fifteen minutes, one of two 293 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:59.600 overall from distance. As I mentioned five of seven from 294 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.639 the floor or also had a really nice block defensively 295 00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:06.679 on the far side short quarter where he was defending, 296 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.600 and that is something he's gonna have to do. Norman Powell, 297 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:11.840 He's got to look much better on the defensive end 298 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:14.159 and with his playmaking if he wants to be in 299 00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:17.399 the starting lineup. But if the Clippers don't have Kawhi Leonard, 300 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:20.720 may just be out of necessity that he plays more 301 00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:24.080 and gets a few starts here and there, maybe early 302 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:27.120 on maybe October twenty third, first game it into a Dome, 303 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:29.000 first game of the season for the Clippers against the 304 00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:32.600 Phoenix Suns. We'll see they need more scoring punch if 305 00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.039 they're not gonna have Kawhi Leonard to start the season. 306 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:37.639 And we'll update you on Kawhi in just a little bit. 307 00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:44.279 Norman Powell maybe looked upon to start ball games, even 308 00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:46.320 though we know how great he is coming off the bench. 309 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.039 Maybe Dennis Kevin Porter, Junior foll in that role. Bones 310 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:52.399 Hyland he had his moments here, but I'm still a 311 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:55.480 little bit concerned on whether or not the coaching staff 312 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:58.639 values him and what he can bring considering the guys 313 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:02.480 they brought in with Chris Dunn and with Kevin Porter Junior, 314 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:04.240 it just looks like the riding is on the wall 315 00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:07.639 that maybe bones Highlands days as a Clipper appear to 316 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.320 be numbered a little bit if they decide to move him. 317 00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:14.080 If a team would like to make a move for him, 318 00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:17.720 we'll see. It takes two to tango kai Jones trying 319 00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:20.480 to get that final two way spot. He's competing there. 320 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:23.480 No Bobamba, he was out with the knee injury. So 321 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:26.120 kai Jones plays twenty two minutes and I want to 322 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:29.279 say about fifteen straight at one point in the second half, 323 00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:33.120 played the entire third quarter just four points. Right before 324 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.120 he came out of the ballgame, he had a nice 325 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.840 little scoop layup and one couldn't make the free throw, 326 00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:39.960 but had a dunk on a three on one before 327 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:43.519 that problem was overall, kai Jones just a little bit 328 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:48.159 helter skelter with it. Was inconsistent offensively and just didn't 329 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:51.399 look that comfortable out there. The athleticism is there, the 330 00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:53.960 feel for the game. At times, it just seems like 331 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.360 it's moving too fast for him. He really wasn't setting 332 00:15:57.480 --> 00:16:00.360 tough screens, wasn't being as physical there. I know the 333 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:02.720 coaching staff will likely get on him for that did 334 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:05.360 have a couple of blocks, but he just needs to 335 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:08.480 be a little bit more in tune offensively and then 336 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.600 also show some more fundamentals when it comes to boxing 337 00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:14.120 out to your man, even though he did have six boards. 338 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:16.519 Clippers fall ninety one to nine. You on a game 339 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:19.159 winning three pointer by Waters for the Golden State Warriors 340 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.440 and preseason game number one in Honolulu, Hawaii coming up 341 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.440 will app Chuck Mockler on from Clips in demp As. 342 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:27.559 We're taking you to the top of the hour here 343 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.080 in the Clippers post game show on the Los Angeles 344 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:42.360 Clippers Audio Network, Lendy Waters was hot, a little too 345 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.639 hot with that three porter to win it over the 346 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:48.559 Clippers ninety one to ninety or final in preseason game 347 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:53.080 number one from Honolulu, Hawaii. Welcome back in I'm oudam Oslin. 348 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:56.759 This is your Clippers postgame show. Clippers next contest coming 349 00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.320 up preseason game number two in Oceanside. It will be 350 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.399 a seven thirty tip pregame starting right back here at 351 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:06.359 six point thirty on the Patriot AM eleven fifty, or 352 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:10.160 you could watch on Clippers Talk on YouTube. Speaking up 353 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:14.200 joining the show right now is our friend Chuck Mockler here, 354 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:15.720 who you can now see. 355 00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:17.000 That's how you doing. 356 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:21.920 I'm doing pretty good. Buzzer beater loss against the Warriors 357 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.720 in the preseason doesn't feel great, but I don't know, 358 00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:28.000 it's game one. I'm trying not to reoreact. I'm mostly 359 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:31.599 just excited that Harden to look so solid together and 360 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:34.920 it feels like we are seeing some good process building 361 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:38.400 with like Terrence and Chris Dunn in terms of crashing 362 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:40.119 the boards and stuff like that. So I'm trying to 363 00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:41.240 just hold on to the positives. 364 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:44.119 That's a great point. I thought Terrence Man had a 365 00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:49.079 couple of really nice rebounds, just securing the basketball, boxing 366 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:51.839 out his man, doing the little things, and that is 367 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:53.799 something that is going to be asked of him and 368 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:57.720 everyone collectively. Because they're playing small a lot, they haven't 369 00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:00.519 been a good rebounding team. The only way to improve 370 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:02.759 is to find your man and put a body on him, 371 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:04.240 and Terrence Man was able to do that. 372 00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.160 Yeah, it was nice to see, and you look at 373 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.759 his shot attempts. His one make was a pretty crazy 374 00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:14.000 reverse layup that was cool to see, but he passed 375 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:18.279 up with three to take it, which I hope that changes. 376 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:19.920 I know that's kind of what we've all been clamoring 377 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:22.599 for With Terrence Man. He didn't start tonight, which I'm 378 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.279 not ready to read a bunch into yet. I think 379 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:28.680 if he doesn't start a single preseason game, then maybe 380 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:31.480 we talked. But I think part of it was giving 381 00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:33.839 Jeff Van Gundy stuff to yell about to the team. 382 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:35.839 Whither still and he has a lot to yell about 383 00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:36.720 after today's game. 384 00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:40.720 I miscus a lot of turnovers, fourteen of them in 385 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:42.839 the first half. They cleaned it up a little bit 386 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:45.000 in the second half with just six of them. They 387 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:47.680 also only had three points the first five minutes of 388 00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:50.920 the second half of the ballgame, which was rough to see. 389 00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:53.880 And then Kobe Brown kind of did what Kobe Brown 390 00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:57.240 does at his best, which is running off as through him, 391 00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.400 let him be the decision maker. Also made some scrappy plays, 392 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.640 had a nice putback, but drove right, drove left. This 393 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:04.960 was a good game from Kobe Brown. 394 00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:08.160 I feel like, yeah, started in foul trouble, which I 395 00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:11.039 feel like is something we can say every time that 396 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:13.200 he comes into a game, and maybe have said that 397 00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:15.839 he lacks some foot speed which gets him into foul 398 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.480 trouble early, but he did what he usually does. Like 399 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.240 you mentioned, he settles well too. He kind of understands 400 00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:25.839 when how to play whatever reffing is happening. Albeit after 401 00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.440
