WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:01.760 The Clippers. 2 00:00:02.319 --> 00:00:05.759 The game is ended, gather around boys, time to recap. 3 00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.800 But the post game coverage is just getting started. 4 00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:10.240 The successes the failure. 5 00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:14.519 Let's discuss. This is Clippers locker road breaking down today's 6 00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.480 action with the pre and post game voice of the Clippers. 7 00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:19.480 Here's a a moss led. 8 00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:24.640 The Clippers are still winless here in the regular season 9 00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:27.160 at into a Dome as they drop a tough one 10 00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:29.879 Clipper Nation they lose one, six to one five to 11 00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.799 the Portland Trail Blazers. Welcome into your postgame show. I'm 12 00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:36.759 out a maslind Well, we have a moment with you. 13 00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.679 Let's pause ten seconds for station identification. Here in the 14 00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:44.920 Los Angeles Clippers audio network, this. 15 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:50.520 Is La Clippers Basketball AM eleven fifty k EiV, Los Angeles, 16 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.320 about and iHeartRadio station. 17 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.479 Clippers lose by one to the Portland Trail Blazers in 18 00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.600 heartbreaking fashion. Hear it into it Dome where they weren't 19 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.520 able to execute an inbound pass at the end, which 20 00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:04.959 just over three seconds left. 21 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:06.079 Let's bring back. 22 00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:08.920 In your radio voice of the Clippers in Carlo Jimenez. 23 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.000 So I told you off air this is about as 24 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.760 bad of a loss as you can have this early 25 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.719 in the season. Luckily it is still early in the season. 26 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:20.760 But this is a tough one and the Clippers just 27 00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.920 did not string together enough stops and execute enough on 28 00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.560 the offensive end, especially in the fourth quarter. Far too 29 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:27.879 many miscues and mishaps. 30 00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:30.840 Carlo, Yeah, I mean for the Clippers down the stretch, 31 00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:33.599 they were playing with fire a little bit by allowing 32 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.920 Portland to hang around close. But Adam, they were right 33 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.159 there when they had opportunities to erase their mistakes and 34 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.640 come away with the win. Norman Pala lay up late 35 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.400 zoo box with two free throws to either tire or 36 00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.920 take the lead, and then an inbound pass with four 37 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.000 seconds left and you throw the ball over. You look 38 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:52.359 at this game and you say, man, Portland played well, 39 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.000 but the Clippers had every opportunity to come back in 40 00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.599 this ball game. They couldn't get it done. And now 41 00:01:57.640 --> 00:01:59.799 the pressure turns to Phoenix where you don't get the 42 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:01.560 You're on the front end of the back to back 43 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.319 and you have a chance to maybe get one of 44 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:05.719 this back to back, but you're gonna have to do 45 00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:06.799 it with heavier legs. 46 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:07.319 Oh yeah, I know. 47 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:10.080 Viatz Zubots we talked about it. Heading into this ballgame, 48 00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.599 he and James Harden, how many minutes would they play? 49 00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:12.960 Well? 50 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.120 Big Zoo was at thirty one, James Harden was at 51 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.879 thirty two. They couldn't keep their guys under thirty. Norrin 52 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.360 Powell was at thirty five minutes. Really frustrating way to 53 00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:24.960 lose a ballgame. I know we'll hear from Coach lou 54 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:28.520 a little bit later here under postgame Clippers talk, but 55 00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.439 the misfree throws are just inexcusable, and it just felt 56 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:35.120 like to me in this ballgame they got off on 57 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.319 the wrong foot, especially with getting away from their bread 58 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.080 and butter, the high pick and roll, with the beats 59 00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.080 of zoobots and James Harden. We talked about it, but 60 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:44.560 in the first half, Big Zoo was what over four? 61 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.879 That's inexcusable. You mentioned it, but two of his attempts 62 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.879 were off of offensive rebounds. They weren't getting him the 63 00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.840 basketball and he wasn't demanding the basketball. There's blame to 64 00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.639 go on both sides. But to me, the game was 65 00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.360 lost in some ways early on when they just weren't 66 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.639 playing this new brand of Clippers basketball, which means it's 67 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.439 no longer an option to get Big Zoo involved. It 68 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.520 is a necessity right now with where the Clippers are at. 69 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:11.240 It really is. 70 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.520 I mean, you see where you miss him today, Adam. 71 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.719 The Clippers just couldn't find any interior presence with a 72 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.520 Vitza Zubats unable to get going on that end. The Clippers, 73 00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.680 like you said, didn't really feed him the basketball, even 74 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.319 though their offense was running through him to the first 75 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.479 three games. All of a sudden they go away from 76 00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.280 it a little bit. I think for a team that 77 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.439 played to their strengths through the first three games, they 78 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.599 almost played away from their strengths here today. They were 79 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.759 unable to dominate the painted area. They gave up twelve 80 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.039 offensive rebounds, something we talked about pregame. Portland's the tallest 81 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.319 team in the NBA. They were gonna get on the glass. 82 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:48.560 They got on the glass here today and you're right 83 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:50.840 at them. A disappointing loss, especially when you think about 84 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.680 Tyler Low's never lost to Chauncey Billups. The Clippers have 85 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.800 had Portland's number for years. They have won sixteen or 86 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.280 fifteen of the last sixteen contest before tonight. Between these 87 00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:04.479 two teams, it's just an uncharacteristic loss. Credit to Nanfrey 88 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.080 Simon's in Portland. But it's not like the Blazers executed 89 00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.599 late either. Felt like they missed a couple of shots. 90 00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.080 Their final shot was a DeAndre eight and three who 91 00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.159 went one for ten last year from outside of the Yark. 92 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.160 There were chances for the Clippers and they were unable 93 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.199 to take up, to take the opportunity and step through 94 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.839 the front door and kind of take over this ballgame late. 95 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:25.920 It's a tough loss. 96 00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:27.680 You hope losses like this are a little bit of 97 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:29.639 a wake up call because the Clippers were playing so 98 00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.360 well against the top three of the top three teams 99 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.120 out West to start the year, and then you lose 100 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:36.879 this one to Portland, and now all of a sudden, 101 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:38.480 you wonder where are we? Where are we in the 102 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.199 power rankings? How do we understand where we fit out West? 103 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.240 You got a chance to prove yourself against Phoenix tomorrow. 104 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:45.560 We'll see if the Clippers can do that. 105 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:48.079 Felt like it was the little things tonight, you know, 106 00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.879 death by paper cuts, and a lot of them were 107 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.519 self inflicted by this team. When it comes to just 108 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.600 not playing with the same level of effort. I know 109 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:58.240 the opponent is the. 110 00:04:58.199 --> 00:04:59.399 Portland Sharyl Blazers. 111 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.519 We all knew that coming in, but you can't act like, oh, 112 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.759 this is a team that's going for Cooper Flag or 113 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.319 whatever the perception is of the Portland Trail Blazers that 114 00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:08.680 they're going to be at the top of the draft. 115 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.079 You have to come out with the same focus. And 116 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.160 I talked about coming into this game We're gonna learn 117 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:14.319 something about the Clippers tonight. 118 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.040 Tonight they didn't have that focus. 119 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.480 Yeah, which is I think surprising for us, and I 120 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.120 want to speak for both of us, Adam, but when 121 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.519 you think about the intensity that the Clippers have played with, 122 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.360 especially on the defenseman the first three games, it always 123 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:29.839 felt like if one thing was consistent, they played hardy. 124 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.240 Whether they lost or won, they played hard through the 125 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.800 first three games. Chris Don and Derreck Jones Junior are 126 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:36.920 a big cattle, so that they were able to pound 127 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:40.759 underneath with the Vitza zubots. And today there wasn't that 128 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.600 same intensity. There wasn't that same execution on the offensive end. 129 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.720 In late in the clutch, the Clippers had been dominant, 130 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.199 they'd been dominant the offensive end in the clutch, unable 131 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:51.759 to be effective today, and then you have the sloppy 132 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:55.360 turnovers late. Just an odd game because the way this 133 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:57.879 team was trending, they were gonna hang their hat on 134 00:05:57.920 --> 00:05:59.879 their hustle, and today I think a little bit of 135 00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:01.519 that wasn't there for them. 136 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.240 It almost felt like at times Portland was asking them 137 00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:05.319 to take the ball game. 138 00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:06.839 They weren't playing great either. 139 00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.399 The Clippers were up eighty five to eighty two heading 140 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:10.360 into that fourth quarter. 141 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:12.279 They hit one hundred first. 142 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.279 This would be the first time in a Clippers game 143 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:15.920 so far this season the team that got to one 144 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:20.160 hundred first lost. They were in control, They had that 145 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.600 defensive stop. Norman Pale gets out, tries to take it 146 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.519 down the court, gets his shot blocked, it's off of him. 147 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.439 And just the lack of execution in key moments by 148 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.360 this Clippers team, missing a couple of free throws, including 149 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:37.040 their last three attempts at the charity stripe, big part 150 00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:37.720 of their undoing. 151 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.800 Chris Taylor, our statistician today, just handing me a no adam. 152 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.759 The Clippers had two made field goals in the last 153 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:48.480 five thirty five of the ballgame. Their last made bucket 154 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.959 came with a buck fifty six on o'clock. So you 155 00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:55.319 go five and a half minutes, two field goals, three 156 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:59.279 minutes apart. Killer for the Clippers down the stretch again, 157 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.519 an offense six from the field in the clutch. Through 158 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:07.279 the first three games. It just evaporated here today. It's unfortunate, 159 00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:09.000 I think the Clippers, though, there's a lot to learn 160 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:11.800 from this. Sometimes losses. They say this in football all 161 00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.639 the time, but sometimes if you lose an early game 162 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:15.519 like this, it kind of wakes you up for how 163 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:17.720 you need to play, how you can try to be 164 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.279 more effective down the stretch. And for the Clippers, a 165 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.360 tough one against Portland, but you hope that they take 166 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:25.959 away from this game, learn something for it and come 167 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.040 out with that intensity that we expected of them through 168 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.160 the first three games, because they brought it through the 169 00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:31.800 first three games. 170 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.040 Yeah, and a season like this with a small margin 171 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.120 for air, you just can't have too many of these 172 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:38.360 slip ups. They got to get it back tomorrow night 173 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.879 against the Phoenix Suns. Clippers fall one six to one 174 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.079 oh five to the Portland trail Blazers here at into 175 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:45.720 It Dome on the front end of a back to 176 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:49.639 back Carlojmennez great call as always.

The 200 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:51.639 chat is just blowing up. I can't even keep up 201 00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:53.679 with it right now. I know the level of disappointment 202 00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:55.679 coming off the weekend and then two days off where 203 00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.039 you really get to bask in the afterglow of two 204 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:01.480 huge victories against Denver against the Golden State Warriors, and 205 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.200 for the most part, outside of a few possessions where 206 00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:06.919 it looked more like Clippers basketball, especially defensively where they 207 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:10.039 locked in. They had a twenty four second violation in 208 00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.799 the fourth quarter here against the Portland Trail Blazers. They 209 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:16.320 got some stops, but offensively, you gotta knock down your 210 00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:22.200 free throws and you can't have who just two made 211 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.080 baskets in the last five minutes and thirty five seconds. 212 00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:30.559 We knew they would struggle at times offensively, but some 213 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.600 of the miscues out there. Just go to the final 214 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:38.840 play of the game. The pass on the sideline from 215 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:44.120 James Harden, that's just I think normOn Powell was opening 216 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.159 on that possession. I'm gonna have to look at it again. 217 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:48.840 You give a little tap on the back right before 218 00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:52.000 they went into formation. I thought maybe it was going 219 00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.639 to Norman Powell. There was some indication there. Instead, they 220 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:56.720 tried to go to a viza zubats underneath the basket 221 00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:04.679 against DeAndre Ayton, who quite frankly out tonight, easily eatenon 222 00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:06.120 even hit a three pointer. 223 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:08.000 Of eacha. 224 00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:12.200 Zubats by far had his worst game of the season. 225 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:14.639 I hope he got it out of his system. I 226 00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.639 think it's twofold. It works both ways. They weren't getting 227 00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:22.519 him the basketball and Zubas wasn't demanding it. The body 228 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.039 language wasn't good. I did like the fact that after 229 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.639 he missed those two free throws he got the spectacular 230 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.399 block that Bill Russell block it in get the rebound. However, 231 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.840 those little moments of an indication of who the Slippers 232 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.200 had been with their identity so far through three games 233 00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:44.679 coming into this one, they were just hit and miss. 234 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.759 You got glimpses here and there of how they had 235 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:51.879 played the first three games, but they weren't consistent. They 236 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:56.759 didn't string together enough good possessions offensively or defensively. I 237 00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:01.480 thought Clippers ended up shooting four twenty five make it 238 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.120 forty six percent from the floor to Portland's forty five percent. 239 00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:08.080 Big difference in this game. Carlo Heman has brought it 240 00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:14.360 up though Portland with those offensive rebounds, that was a 241 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:18.519 determining factor they ended up with. I think they tied 242 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.720 the Clippers with thirteen, but they made the most of 243 00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.159 them because Portland had twenty two second chance points, the 244 00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:30.559 Clippers just twelve, frustrating one Clipper Nation, as they actually 245 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:32.720 shot better from three than they had been thirteen of 246 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:34.919 thirty six. A lot of that was Norman Palell. I 247 00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:36.559 know a lot of you guys are saying Norman Powell 248 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.279 for president. Norm Palell showed up. 249 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:38.840 He was great. 250 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.440 He had thirty He had three threes, I want to 251 00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:45.120 say in the third quarter or was that early fourth 252 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.840 five of ten from the outside. 253 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:50.799 Yeah, third quarter. 254 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.039 Team Man didn't have a good game. Again, didn't play 255 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.879 much at all in the second half. Again, he at 256 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.360 least took a couple of threes in a jumper. He 257 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.039 looked for a show a little bit more. It's not 258 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:05.440 enough and any more offense from him. But this is 259 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:10.440 a frustrating one. It's just inexcusable. I'm telling you it's 260 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:13.480 too early in the season to panic with seventy eight 261 00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.759 games left. But I think it's also fair when everybody 262 00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:19.600 comes into this game and says, hey, this is as 263 00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:21.759 close as you can get to a must win in 264 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.679 an early season bout because the opponent, because you had 265 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:29.320 two days off because you have Phoenix coming up tomorrow. Instead, 266 00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:31.960 it felt like at times the Clippers played down to 267 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:35.799 their competition and give Portland credit, Simon stepped up late, 268 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:40.039 he took over at times. On the fourth quarter they 269 00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:42.600 put together a twelve zero run, an eight to zero run, 270 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.320 a five to zero run near the end of the 271 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:50.240 third quarter. Portland won the hustle stats. They did more 272 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.200 of the little things. They beat the Clippers at their 273 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.919 own game at times disappointing. Disappointing night to say the 274 00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:59.399 least quick time out will come back. Still have Clippers 275 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:02.600 talk coming up the Patriot Am eleven fifty eight seven 276 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.200 seven five two zero eleven fifty is the phone number. 277 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:08.399 I'm outa Moslin. Here it into a dome. After the 278 00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.799 Clippers fall by one of the Portland trail Blazers one 279 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:12.519 O six to one oh five, and you're listening to 280 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:14.279 the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network. 281 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:19.000 I love this team. 282 00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:19.799 I never miss a game. 283 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:24.200 You're listening to LA Clippers basketball free ball. Yes, sir, 284 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:27.480 right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network. 285 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.039 Slippers lose one O six to one oh five at 286 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.480 home and into a dome to the Portland trail Blazers, difficult, 287 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:38.360 frustrating loss. Clipper Nation, I get it. We'll talk about it. 288 00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.960 Eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven 289 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.000 seven five two zero eleven fifty. 290 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:46.559 Is the phone number. But no rest for the weary. 291 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:48.440 I don't know if this is a good or bad news. 292 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:50.360 The Clippers got to get right back up off the 293 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:53.120 mat and take on to Phoenix Suns here tomorrow night, 294 00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:57.080 who had the night off. Much was made of this 295 00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:00.879 back to back and the Clippers trying to put a 296 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:05.039 team away early. Maybe instead they take a bad loss. 297 00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:07.080 To the Portland trail Blazers. Give credit to Portland. 298 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:08.720 But we got a lot to talk about with this 299 00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:12.720 Clippers team outside of Los Angeles. We are out of 300 00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:15.159 here until tomorrow night. 301 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:16.799 We will be leaving you. 302 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:20.639 When they face the Phoenix Suns tiptime seven thirty, pre 303 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.720 game six thirty in LA.

At eight seven seven five two zero 330 00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.240 eleven fifty eight seven seven five to two zero eleven 331 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:47.639 fifty is I'm a little bit worked up about this one. 332 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:49.879 Clippers have yet to win here and into a Dome, 333 00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:54.679 and they've lost both games that were very winnable in 334 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:59.600 a similar fashion where they had the ball late against Phoenix, 335 00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:03.639 were down by three, didn't get a shot off turnover. 336 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:07.679 Tonight they're down by one against Portland, didn't get a 337 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:09.519 shot off turnover. 338 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:11.320 Two. 339 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:15.080 Familiar, a little too familiar in all the wrong ways. 340 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.799 After we've been praising them all weekend, in the last 341 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.639 two days for showing up in Denver, for showing up 342 00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:28.480 in San Francisco against Golden State. Just really really frustrating 343 00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:32.639 and demoralizing. I'm sure for Clipper Nation to see the 344 00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:35.639 Clippers come back to into it be waiting have two 345 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:38.360 days of really rallying around this team, and then they 346 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:42.080 lose to the Portland Trailblazers one, six five. I tried 347 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.440 to put out some warning signs saying you can't overlook anyone, 348 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.279 especially this early in the season. Set it on multiple 349 00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:51.879 episodes on Clipper Stock on YouTube, and if you're watching 350 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:53.519 on that side right now, I'll get to some of 351 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.559 the chat here in a bit if you want to 352 00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:58.480 call in, we're on the Patriot Am eleven fifty eight, 353 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:01.480 seven to seven, five to two zero eleven fift But 354 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.559 I don't know how you put together a performance like 355 00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.200 this after what we just saw this past weekend. And 356 00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:10.880 lay an egg in this fashion and have a letdown 357 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:15.559 like this. It's early in the season. Teams like Portland 358 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:20.599 who aren't supposed to do much we'll see are at 359 00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:24.839 a talent disadvantage. But there's belief early in the year 360 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:29.920 there's hope. Especially with the play in now, feel like, hey, 361 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:34.039 ten teams in each conference get into the Dance the tournament. 362 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:37.960 If you want to dumb this down, so it's just 363 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:42.559 the Clippers at the free throw line, that's fair, But 364 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:46.680 I think it started before that. I think this was 365 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:50.279 an earned loss by the Clippers. I felt like if 366 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.200 they had won it, they snuck away or they got 367 00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.480 away with something. Some people say a win's a win, 368 00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:59.039 a loss is a loss. Sure, you can look at 369 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:00.759 that at the very end of the season. But I 370 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:05.519 think habits you build matter. How you play matters, how. 371 00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:06.640 You win, how you lose matters. 372 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:10.480 You can play great and defeat and build off something 373 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:12.240 you did in that game and it turns into a 374 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:15.640 win later, or you can develop bad habits during wins 375 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:19.680 that can eventually come back to bite you. That's what 376 00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:21.559 it felt like tonight if the Clippers got away with 377 00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:26.960 this one. Amina Sean says on the YouTube side. We 378 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:28.440 were playing with our food at him. 379 00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:33.000 I don't know. Like they were down at the half. 380 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:38.680 This Clippers team, they could have been down more at 381 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.000 the half. It could have been worse. They made a 382 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:42.599 little bit of a run at the end of the 383 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.279 second quarter. They were only up by two after the 384 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:47.400 first quarter. I thought there were warning signs. We talked 385 00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:49.440 about it during the broadcast. If eats and Zubas is 386 00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:53.920 not getting involved, what's going on? Seems like he wasn't 387 00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:57.079 engaged and the Clippers weren't looking for him. He took 388 00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:59.680 four shots in the first half, two of them were 389 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:04.160 on off defensive rebounds, so created by himself. What's going 390 00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:10.160 on there? I'm gonna say it again. I tweeted this out. 391 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:12.839 I said it early in the post game. It's not 392 00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:18.400 an option to get of each Zubats involved. It's a necessity. 393 00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:23.000 The team's gotta look for him early and often. They 394 00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:25.079 got to get to the high pick and roll, like 395 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:26.960 the one they ran very late in the game that 396 00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:28.559 got him to the free throw line on the miss 397 00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:33.839 dunk where he ran strong to the basket and James 398 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:34.759 Harden found him. 399 00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:37.839 Where was that early? Where was that urgency? Where was 400 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:38.599 the intensity. 401 00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:43.279
