The Clippers win one 15 00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.520 thirty two to one hundred in Brooklyn over the Nets, 16 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:50.679 and with that they secure their fourteenth straight winning season, 17 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:58.039 longest active winning streak in the Association of consecutive winning seasons. 18 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:02.320 Welcome into Clippers Talk. I'm out a Mauslin. Clippers get 19 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:05.400 to forty two victories on the season, and they have 20 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.480 won ten of their last twelve and it easily could 21 00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:11.840 have been twelve wins in a row eight seven, seven, 22 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.519 five to two, zero eleven fifty eight seven, seven, five 23 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:19.680 to two, zero eleven fifty is the phone number. Maybe 24 00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.640 you need to call in confess that you were out 25 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.439 on this team. You were out on Kawhi post All 26 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.079 Star Break, the first five or six games. Maybe you 27 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.040 need to admit to yourself, have a little confessional here 28 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.040 that you're back in with this Clippers team. That's your 29 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:42.280 believer again. I never really waivered. It just came down 30 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:47.640 to is Kawhi gonna get back to looking like last 31 00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:53.879 year's version of Kawhi Letard. Well, for eight straight games 32 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.519 now he's looked like him. This was game thirty of 33 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:03.040 the season for Kawhi Letard, just game thirty, and the 34 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.480 Clippers are what eleven games over five hundred forty two 35 00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:11.000 and thirty one seems good. They have a shot to 36 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.919 continue to rise up the standings. There's an outside shot 37 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.919 of them gaining the four spot. Still, they probably have 38 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.680 to go eight and won the last nine games. Maybe 39 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.400 get some help and you can go seven to two. 40 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:27.639 But Kawai had thirty one points on just fourteen shots. 41 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:34.039 That is the Kawhi Leonard. I recognize what he's doing 42 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:40.080 right now. In March, first game of March, thirty three 43 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:43.439 points thirteen to twenty three shooting, second game twenty one 44 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:48.680 to nine of twenty shooting, third twenty on six of eighteen, fourth, 45 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:52.319 seventeen points on seven of nineteen shooting. But then twenty 46 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.599 nine points, twenty five, twenty three, thirty three, twenty three, 47 00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:01.879 twenty five, twenty seven, thirty one. On extreme efficiency, we're 48 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.039 talking a guy who's been shooting sixty percent from the 49 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:16.400 field his last this one two eight games, incredible three 50 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.039 pointers are falling. He went five of six and knocked 51 00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.400 down a thirty four footer at the end of the 52 00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.280 second quarter. When the Clippers opened it up. He had 53 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:26.840 twenty five of his thirty one points in the first half. 54 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:31.479 Kawhi and the Clippers went on a twenty five to 55 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:41.120 six run to end the second quarter. If Kawhi is 56 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.039 like this, you have a chance against anyone. He's been 57 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.639 playing heavy minutes. Didn't have to win this game, of course, 58 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.360 just twenty seven, but the two games prior forty one minutes, 59 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:55.759 forty minutes. What else do you need to see? Just 60 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.280 like we thought early in the season, with how good 61 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.960 their defense will if they have last year's version of Kawhi, 62 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.759 why can't they make a run in the Western Conference. 63 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.360 I think OKC is elite. I feel like everybody else 64 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:22.560 has some flaws, noticeable flaws. This Clippers team is dangerous, 65 00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:29.800 extremely dangerous right now, and it's because Kawhi is back 66 00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:37.360 and the defense. That's when I knew he was back. 67 00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:42.079 The game against Atlanta where he had five steals on 68 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.560 their previous road trip and they would win once went 69 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.360 he one to ninety eight before they head back home, 70 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.480 and then they crushed the Charlotte Hornets in that game. 71 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:54.839 Showed me he's feeling good. He was locking up Dyson Daniels. 72 00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:03.000 And then today defensively, another great performance. He has been 73 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:09.399 playing Kawhi Leonard type defense over these last eight games, 74 00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.879 where he's also shooting sixty sixty percent from the field. 75 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:15.399 He starts this one off getting a layup going to 76 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:20.399 his left, then has a dunk where he split two 77 00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:29.319 defenders in transition, physicality, more confidence in his knee. In 78 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.879 the second Kawhi is an and one on a layup, 79 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:37.759 a block on another young guy, and I think he 80 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.439 likes showing the young guys how it's done. Jalen Wilson 81 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.079 a big swat on him as he just locked him 82 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:47.680 down defensively, he had nowhere to go. Then he hit 83 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.800 a jumper over Wilson on the right elbow, a Kawhi steele, 84 00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:55.519 and a three pointer on the other end. He starts 85 00:05:55.560 --> 00:06:00.319 bleeding from his left elbow. It bleeds. We can kill 86 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:07.600 it now. Maybe he's android, synthetic whatever. He goes out 87 00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:11.680 of the game for a little bit, then comes back 88 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.920 towards the end of the second quarter, swipes the ball 89 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:19.720 away from Keon Johnson, has a steal and slam on 90 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:24.399 d Low, a Kawhi three over d Low to get 91 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:26.839 to twenty two points before the half is over, and 92 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:31.319 then another thirty four foot three to give him twenty 93 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:39.639 five points at the half. Unbelievable, complete domination from the claw. 94 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.519 He gets a steal to start the third another one done, 95 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:47.040 got the deflection, it went to Kawhi, but he got 96 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:51.000 a three off of that one. Clippers got up by 97 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.360 as many as forty one. You know what My only 98 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:55.399 problem with his game was, you can say this still 99 00:06:55.439 --> 00:07:00.879 start for the team, but Brooklyn started hot. I was like, 100 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:06.319 coach Lou, please pull the starters, please pull them. I 101 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.720 know a lot of these guys probably aren't playing on Sundays, 102 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.480 so you're giving them more minutes, more reps. I just 103 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.920 don't know what they were gonna learn against Brooklyn, but 104 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.920 I get it. Kawhi. Eventually we hit another three pointer 105 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:21.160 to get to thirty one points. The Clippers got up 106 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:25.360 ninety seven to fifty seven. Then Kawhi came out for DJ. 107 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:31.560 They had at one point a seventy three to thirty 108 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:36.120 three scoring run on Brooklyn. They led by as many 109 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.759 as forty one. Last time when they won by fifty nine. 110 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.399 I think that was the biggest winning franchise history. They 111 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.839 had one hundred and two to forty two scoring run 112 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:48.920 on them. Brooklyn's in a bad place. They're watching Duke 113 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.959 and Cooper flag right now, maybe a little bit distracted. 114 00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:57.079 You gotta respect your opponent the Clippers did. They may 115 00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:02.240 have started slow, but boy, they hit the gas and 116 00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:06.120 flip a switch the end of that second quarter with 117 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:09.319 that twenty five to six run. A lot of Kawhi theres. 118 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.319 He had nineteen points in the second quarter alone. It 119 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:17.439 beats the Zubots couldn't miss. Literally. He went nine of 120 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:21.480 nine and had twenty one to twelve. Congratulations to Big 121 00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:25.720 Zoo for getting to his fiftieth double double of the season. 122 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:28.759 He set this goal at the beginning of the year. 123 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:33.000 He's got it with nine games left. Congratulations to Zoo 124 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.320 Truthers two that always knew he could do this if 125 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:41.120 he just got a bigger opportunity, never a doubt. Zubots 126 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:43.279 had ten points in the first quarter. He was really 127 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.679 keeping them close when Brooklyn was hitting everything for a second, 128 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.200 I mean, Zoo ad a bucket early, a push shot, 129 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.240 a floater, a spinning layup. In the second he had 130 00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:59.159 a drive to the basket. I get took it from 131 00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:01.679 the top of the key, so I'll take I'll take 132 00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:06.000 whatever the defense has given me. Had a bucket off 133 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.120 a great feed from James Harden rolling to the basket. 134 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.840 In the second. Zoo had a pastor Chris Dunn who 135 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:13.600 missed a reverse layup or it looked like he was 136 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:15.519 fouled in the second quarter and it was a beautiful 137 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:22.200 feed from Visa Zubas. But he had a block then 138 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:25.720 in the third leading to a lefty hook for himself 139 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:28.279 to put him up ninety seven to fifty seven. As 140 00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.639 I mentioned before, DJ came in for Kawhi. He had 141 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:38.519 a dunk in the third. A couple of them just 142 00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:45.399 complete domination, outclassed the Brooklyn Nets completely. They had nothing 143 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:54.600 for this Clippers team today. It's not that beating Brooklyn 144 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.519 by thirty two. Me and say the Clippers they're a 145 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:02.679 dominant team now, they're great, they're special. It's the totality 146 00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.039 of work we have seen over the last two or 147 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:08.120 three weeks now their last twelve games where they have 148 00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.120 one ten of twelve, and then you factor in, Okay, 149 00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.240 how should you play against a bad team like the 150 00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:18.120 Brooklyn Nets? How should it look? It looked like that, 151 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:23.320 leading by as many as forty one, they obliterated them. 152 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.080 That's what it should like. Should look like an elite 153 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.799 team taking on a struggling franchise, that is, you know, 154 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:36.159 starting a rebuild, looking forward to the summer in the draft. 155 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:42.200 That's how a game should look. Start things off with 156 00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:45.720 Ryan in Santa Ana. Ryan, you're on clipperstock, you're on 157 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:47.399 the Patriot amlum fifty. What's up? Brian? 158 00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:50.200 Hey Adam, how's it going? 159 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:51.639 I'm good? 160 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:51.919 Ryan? 161 00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:52.480 How you feeling? 162 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:57.120 I feel pretty good? That was a really great win. 163 00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.919 What do you say about Kwai? Kwai is unbelievable tonight 164 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:08.399 on both sides. He locked up that Welson kid and 165 00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.080 he just like welcomed them to the NBA right now. 166 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.600 That was great to see. Yeah, Zoo needs to be 167 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.600 in the in consederacy for Defensive Player of the Year. 168 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:20.559 Him and Chris don should be like. 169 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.720 You know what's interesting, Chris Dunn won't make it because 170 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.879 he hasn't played enough games. He won't get to enough 171 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.919 games in enough minutes in those games. If each of 172 00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:31.960 zubots will and I think will make an all defensive team. 173 00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:36.919 But he has been getting looks for Defensive Player of 174 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.879 the Year. I don't think he'll win it. It'll probably 175 00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:42.039 be Evan Mobley, who will see on Sunday, even though 176 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.000 Zoo bodied him the last game. I don't think he'll 177 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.679 win it, but he is being talked about. Yeah, it 178 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:51.720 could be Dyson. I just I'm not hating because the 179 00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:55.840 team isn't great overall, but specifically their defense isn't great 180 00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:58.360 with Atlanta, so sometimes I'm like, well, what is his 181 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.600 impact exactly? But I looked at all the on off 182 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:03.679 splits for him to see how big of an impact 183 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:05.720 Ison Daniels does have when he's on the court, So 184 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.639 maybe there's something to that. But yeah, I agree with 185 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:12.799 you those two guys a visa Zubats should be in 186 00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:13.639 the running for sure. 187 00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:19.559 Uh yeah, well, at least he has to make all 188 00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:24.960 defensive team like that's yeah, that's where he should be. Yeah, 189 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:31.039 it's crazy. I'm really it feels too good to be true. 190 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.240 This is crazy. 191 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:34.279 Clippers look unbelievable. 192 00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:36.639 You're waiting for the other shoot. You're waiting for the 193 00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:39.360 other shoot to drop all Ryan, You're expecting something bad 194 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:40.919 to happen because the Clippers look too. 195 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:46.840 Good, Adams, Adam, Clippers be clipping. So I'm just waiting. 196 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:51.000 Well, let's just hope for the best. There's nine games left. 197 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:54.679 They're playing great basketball. Let's just hope they can keep 198 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:57.720 it rolling into the playoffs. Let's just hope, because that's 199 00:12:57.759 --> 00:12:58.279 all we can do. 200 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.679 Selfishly, just one last thing. Selfishly, I think smartly, I 201 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:06.159 wish we could be in the sixth seed, just for 202 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:09.519 the long term. I'm not ducking smoke, but like, I 203 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.639 think that would work out in the long run if 204 00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:12.600 we end up four or five. 205 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:13.519 It is what it is. 206 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:16.360 We got to take on Lakers and then Thunder and 207 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.519 but it's a true test to see how how great 208 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:21.159 this team is. 209 00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:25.320 Yeah, I agree with you, and just peaking at the 210 00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:27.399 right time. Is awesome to see you appreciate the phone 211 00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:29.720 call ride. We'll take a quick time out here on 212 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:33.039 Clippers stock after they take down the Brooklyn Nets one 213 00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:36.720 thirty two to one hundred in Brooklyn.

Eight seven seven five to two zero 216 00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:43.879 eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. 217 00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:45.919 I mean, how many teams are playing better than the 218 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.200 Clippers right now in the NBA? You can say, Okay, 219 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.399 see in Houston, Cleveland's five and five their last ten, 220 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:57.080 Boston's nine and won their last ten, you could say them. So, 221 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:02.039 Clippers are playing at an elite level. As we're getting 222 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:06.279 close to the playoffs, Kawhi is looking in peak form, 223 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:09.519 prime form, peak of his powers form before we hit 224 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:14.600 the playoffs. Yeah, things are going well, but as Kawai 225 00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:16.240 always says, just take it a game at a time, 226 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:19.639 don't look too far ahead. They're taking our Cleveland on Sunday, 227 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.279 we're on that coming up.

Clippers win over the Brooklyn 236 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:00.200 Nets and handle business, a professional approach and a one 237 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.480 thirty two to one hundred victory. It's exactly what you 238 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:05.279 wanted to see. They led by as many as forty 239 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:10.799 one and Kawhi had thirty one points off of fourteen shots, 240 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:16.639 ten of fourteen shooting, some explosive plays, some great defensive plays. 241 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.320 He was five of six from three and hit one 242 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:21.679 from Steph Curryland at the end of the first half. 243 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.240 Great feed there too hard and going back to him 244 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:29.840 knowing that he was hot. James Harden had seventeen six 245 00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:34.279 assists Clippers of one, ten and twelve. And I know 246 00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:38.200 a lot of Lakers fans and outsiders will downplay this. 247 00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:44.159 I know how this goes hang the banner. So original, 248 00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:48.799 just so original when people say that if you don't 249 00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:56.679 understand that this is especially meaningful for this franchise, I 250 00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.240 don't know how to convince you like you're not close 251 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.559 enough to the situation to understand how far the Clippers 252 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:10.480 have come. Because when I say getting to fourteen straight 253 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:14.440 winning seasons after where this franchise had been is something 254 00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:23.080 to celebrate, you got to understand they went from the 255 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:27.120 worst owner in sports to I think the best. They 256 00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.120 went from at one point being called the worst franchise 257 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.720 in sports. Paper bags on their heads. I think that 258 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:37.399 was the cover of Sports Illustrated, Like, this isn't nothing. 259 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:43.879 Fourteen straight winning seasons, It's okay to celebrate it. No, 260 00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:46.639 they haven't gotten the hardware over that time. They've had 261 00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:54.120 some low points with not rising to meet the moment. 262 00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:57.720 They've also had just some really bad luck with injuries 263 00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:01.399 that have kept them from holding the LARRYO. B But 264 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:08.240 fourteen straight winning seasons longest active consecutive winning streak in 265 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:15.759 the NBA and tied for the fourth most consecutive winning 266 00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:21.599 seasons ever with the Blazers and the Celtics twice. I'm 267 00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:24.680 not gonna push that aside. I'm not gonna say yeah, 268 00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:30.720 but you can do that if you want. This is meaningful. 269 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:31.359 It is. 270 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:35.640 I say it all the time. But in many ways 271 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.920 they became a new franchise when Balmber took over in 272 00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:46.400 twenty fourteen. Something that happened before Balmber. You know, I 273 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:49.599 know some of these seasons are included there a couple 274 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:53.440 of them, but they had an owner for the most 275 00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:56.799 part who was actively working against against the best interests 276 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:02.599 of the franchise before Steve Bamer. So in your grass 277 00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:06.200 Clipper Nation, you gonna be proud of that. It's okay, 278 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:12.440 it's all right. You know what, Laker fans are gonna say, 279 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:15.319 you win a championship. Lakers are gonna go who cares, 280 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:20.240 she got one? They're always gonna move the goalposts. That's 281 00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:23.079 how it's always gonna be. That doesn't mean you can't 282 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:28.680 be brought proud of stuff. They've come a long way, 283 00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:33.839 this franchise, this organization to get to fourteen straight winning seasons, 284 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:38.839 all right. The most is, of course, the Spurs with 285 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.319 twenty two straight. After that's the Jazz from eighty five 286 00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:46.400 to two thousand and four, nineteen straight, Lakers sixteenth straight 287 00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:51.200 from seventy six to ninety two, and then Blazers, Celtics, 288 00:18:51.240 --> 00:19:03.160 Clippers all with fourteen straight winning seasons. I know, the Jazz. 289 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:06.599 You know, some people will say well, they ran into 290 00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:09.640 m J unfortunately. Still think they had some really low 291 00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:12.640 moments where they probably weren't good enough, but they didn't 292 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:16.279 rust the occasion at times. Male man doesn't deliver on 293 00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:25.920 Sunday Game one moment. But it's it's not something to 294 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:31.480 just diminish. It is a run of success that is 295 00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:37.960 important to acknowledge. The Clippers are in a much better place, 296 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:40.680 much better place than they were twenty. 297 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:47.960 Years ago, forty years ago, fifty years ago, much better 298 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.279 place this season currently having won ten of twelve. 299 00:19:53.640 --> 00:20:00.240 Where everyone feels like, you know, Kawi looks like this. 300 00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:08.319 Give us Denver, give us the Lakers. I would prefer 301 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:13.240 the Houston Rockets or Memphis Grizzlies, But I get it. 302 00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:19.400 You should have confidence in just about anybody, especially because 303 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:24.319 now you're seeing Kawhi Leonard leading that second unit to 304 00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:27.400 start second quarters. They were really good in this one. 305 00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:29.920 They went plus four, it could have easily been plus 306 00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:32.839 ten in their minutes. I'm talking about Kawhi next to Bogie, 307 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:36.960 next to Ben Simmons, next to DJ, next to Batoom. 308 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.319 That five man unit started the second quarter again, they 309 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:44.400 went plus four, easily could have been plus ten. But 310 00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:47.079 they still gave up a couple of threes to Brooklyn, 311 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.240 but they're starting to build something there an area where 312 00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:54.200 they have struggled all season long. Bleeding points without James 313 00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:57.119 Harden on the court to start second quarters, not being 314 00:20:57.119 --> 00:20:59.759 able to execute on the offensive end, and you're starting 315 00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:01.839 to some signs of life. I need to see a 316 00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:05.200 lot more. This was still against Brooklyn, but the fourth 317 00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:10.160 quarter with those guys last game against the Knicks was great, 318 00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:14.799 and then the second quarter was very good. Today, give 319 00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:22.799 me more. Clippers win one thirty two to one hundred 320 00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:25.000 in Brooklyn over the Nets. We'll take a quick time out. 321 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.880 We'll come back looking for postgame audio in quotes from 322 00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:31.599 coach Lou and the players.

Clippers with a thirty two point 330 00:21:57.559 --> 00:22:02.440 victory in Brooklyn over the Nets. Kawhi is thirty one 331 00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:08.319 points light work. It was from the Clippers and Kawhi. 332 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:11.799 Thirty one points and twenty seven minutes off of fourteen 333 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.480 shots is ridiculous. Clippers also went twenty five to twenty 334 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:18.319 eight at the free throw line. That was great to see. 335 00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:23.599 They started off slow from three point land. They ended 336 00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:27.880 up nineteen of thirty seven. Kind of a big deal 337 00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:30.920 for a team that was struggling for a while from three. 338 00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:34.920 Not so much of the moment. So last ten games 339 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.359 heading into this one, the Clippers had the second best 340 00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:39.599 offense in the fourth best defense, and the second best 341 00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:43.720 net rating. That's only going to go up after winning 342 00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:49.200 one thirty two to one hundred scary hours, quite possibly 343 00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:55.599 because Kawhi looks amazing. He's had and law Murray pointed 344 00:22:55.599 --> 00:23:01.319 this out on Blue Ski earlier. He's had eleven twenty 345 00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:05.799 point games in March, but twenty five points on the 346 00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:09.119 first half in this one. A long three pointer to 347 00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:11.279 end the first half from Kawhi. You don't see him 348 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:14.720 take those shots very often, but James Harden said, you're hot, 349 00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:22.119 take it. He's five of six from three. It is 350 00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:26.480 remarkable to see, and I've been saying this year after 351 00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:30.480 year Kawhi comes back from injury. It's a testament to 352 00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:33.279 how hard of a worker he is. He comes back 353 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.160 from serious injuries. For the most part, he looks the same. 354 00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:39.640 He eventually gets to that point where he looks the 355 00:23:39.680 --> 00:23:43.119 same and he has you believe, and he's a top 356 00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:45.400 five player in the league still, and all you need 357 00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.119 is his health, his good health, and you can make 358 00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:52.680 a run and you can beat anybody. And right now, 359 00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:55.880 this is like his January normally, and we're in March 360 00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:59.559 because he just got to game thirty and that's typically 361 00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:03.920 when he came things into gear. Look at January twenty 362 00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:07.559 twenty four. In January twenty twenty three offensive numbers from him, 363 00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:09.960 that's when he turned the corner off the ACL and 364 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.240 that's when he really turned a corner.
