The same 26 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:06.560 people who are saying where do we go from here? 27 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:11.959 Well they go back to La. Now those same people 28 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.400 are saying, like, I believe in this team, they can 29 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.200 be a contender again.

Sometimes I would just say, if you 32 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:25.959 can't hold on to a little bit of perspective and 33 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.239 not be a prisoner of the moment, it's good for 34 00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:35.760 your heart. It's better than prilosec. It's really good for 35 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.879 your heart. That's the area I like to live in. 36 00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:46.239 This Clippers team was in trouble. It started off okay. 37 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:52.359 They led heading in to that second quarter by a 38 00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:57.439 score of thirty one to twenty six, after Dereck Jones 39 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.640 Junior had nine points on the first quarter alone to 40 00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:03.959 lead them in that area. I still was going, though, 41 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.159 as Kawai gonna assert himself a little bit more? Is 42 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.240 he gonna attack a little bit more? The only got 43 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.560 up three shots the first seven and a half minutes. 44 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:14.719 A mere coffee though, also saved him with seven points 45 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:18.520 off the bench in the first and then just start 46 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:19.159 the second. 47 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:20.840 Who would have thunk it? 48 00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:25.039 I know you guys often don't like these lineups, and 49 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.639 you call out coach lou all the time when they happen, 50 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.680 so you're gonna give him credit when they are successful. 51 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.800 He starts the second quarter with Ben Simmons, Niko Batoum, 52 00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:41.400 Drew U Banks, Bogie, and Emir and from the end 53 00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:43.680 of the first to the start of the second, that 54 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:48.960 girl grows on a twelve two run. They cooked. They 55 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:53.879 were awesome. A Mer had seven more points in that 56 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:59.000 second quarter. Bogie was getting more involved offensively. Drew you, 57 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:04.960 Banks played really well, was playing aggressive basketball out there, 58 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.319 guarding on one end, had four points on the other. 59 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:10.599 And the Clippers got up by twelve. 60 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:13.479 They looked great. 61 00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.599 Then the starters came back in and they just gave 62 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:22.479 it away, mostly due to turnovers. Within the span of 63 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.000 three minutes and twenty seconds. 64 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:26.439 I believe. 65 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:34.199 They went from being up twelve to down one, and 66 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:36.680 they would head into the half down one at sixty 67 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:41.400 to fifty nine. During those three minutes and twenty seconds, 68 00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.759 or during the last really seven minutes of the second 69 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:50.120 quarter when the starters came back in, they had four turnovers. 70 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.199 And during that stretch when the turnaround happened, three of 71 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.719 them were by James Harden, some really bad ones where 72 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:02.280 he didn't get back on defense done and beats. Zubas did, 73 00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:07.199 but he didn't. Kawhi had another one. I was frustrated. 74 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.159 Harden looked completely out of gas. 75 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:12.240 He looked cooked. 76 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.680 He looked like a guy that has been playing far 77 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:18.120 too many minutes because he has. Coach Louz even apologized 78 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:22.680 for it. They've needed him to. Kawhi came back for 79 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:31.160 this ballgame, thank goodness. And somehow after an abysmal first 80 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:35.480 half from James Harden, where he had more turnovers than points, 81 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.319 he turned things around in a hurry in that third quarter. 82 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:46.240 To start the third it was Kawhi Leonard and I 83 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.519 was talking about him, need to be a little bit 84 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:54.240 more aggressive. And actually, as Carlo asked me heading into 85 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:58.879 the third quarter, right away, what. 86 00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:00.720 The key is here the Clippers? 87 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.040 We uh, I think we got a highlight for you 88 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:07.199 of that, we got a clip for you. Daniel West 89 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:11.240 is grabbing it. I thought Kawhi needed to start straw 90 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.959 in the third quarter. He only took six shots in 91 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.879 the first half, and uh, yeah he did. 92 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.720 We got it sure to start this second half, Adam, 93 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:25.560 what are you looking for with this group here? In 94 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:26.199 half them or two? 95 00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.519 Well, let's see Kawhi be more assertive. He's only taking 96 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:29.639 six shots so far. 97 00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:31.800 He's had good bounce to him, but he's got to 98 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:33.199 be more aggressive and lead this team. 99 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:35.879 He had twenty two in his last game, a season high. 100 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.199 He's got it left wing, He jams right, looks at 101 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.600 the rim, puts it on the floor, fires and hits 102 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.319 good call. Adham sixty one sixty. Clippers lead by one. 103 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.360 Sometimes it goes your way like that. So Kawhi starts 104 00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:53.399 things off for the Clippers. They take the lead, he 105 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.120 gets fouled their next time down, makes a couple of 106 00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:01.920 free throws. He took their first three shots of that 107 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:02.680 third quarter. 108 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:04.240 And I liked what I was seeing. 109 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:06.800 Honestly, I thought it was a good process. It's time 110 00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:11.399 to getting back to playing through Kawhi more and for 111 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:17.120 him to process quickly what's happening out there, and when 112 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:21.319 he's being doubled, make quick decisions. And I was seeing 113 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.560 some of it, and I thought, this Clippers offense has 114 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.319 a nice rhythm to it. Little did I know what 115 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:33.560 would be occurring in that third quarter very quickly, because yeah, 116 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:39.120 they found their legs. They found their offense that third quarter. 117 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:43.480 As Kawhi Leonard handed to the baton over to James 118 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:47.600 Harden after Kawhi. I want to say, I had a 119 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.519 quick six points in the third and then Harden, who 120 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:57.560 had just three points, just three in the first half, 121 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:00.720 just went go active. 122 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:05.079 As Brian Seeman would say, super nova. And it wasn't 123 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:06.399 just him. 124 00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:14.240 Everybody started hitting from the outside. It was incredible. This 125 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:20.399 Clippers team went eight of eleven from three in the 126 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:27.199 third quarter alone, and James Harden dropped twenty. He could 127 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:31.519 not miss. We've seen this many times before. They needed 128 00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:33.839 him badly. He took over. 129 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.720 But the problem was the Chicago Bulls weren't going anywhere. 130 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:45.079 They were knocking down everything too. They ended up going 131 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.319 eight of eleven from three in the third quarter as well. 132 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:51.360 I told you guys, my key to victory was well, 133 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.079 Chicago averages forty three attempts from the outside per game, 134 00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:00.680 and their third in makes from three per game sixteen. 135 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:03.879 Can't let them get going. I don't know if the 136 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:05.160 Clippers let them get going. 137 00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.319 Like some of these guys just got scorching hot and 138 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.319 were knocking down shots with a hand in their face. 139 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:14.600 I was taking note of this. A lot of them 140 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.319 were well defended, and it didn't matter in that third 141 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:20.759 quarter specifically when they went eight of eleven from three. 142 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:25.839 They finished nineteen of forty two, so they made three 143 00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:29.839 more than they typically do. The Clippers got challenged, they 144 00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:33.960 got somewhat of an outlier shooting performance from a team 145 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.639 that shot what eight percent better from three than they 146 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:44.240 normally do. But the Clippers, they had one of their 147 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:48.960 most efficient shooting games themselves, nineteen of thirty seven. A 148 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:53.919 lot of that's James Harden seven of fourteen, but really 149 00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:01.080 it was between him, Kawhi and Bogie. Those guys ended 150 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:09.440 up going fourteen of twenty four from three. Fourteen of 151 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:15.080 twenty four. That's fifty eight percent. And I told you 152 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:20.639 guys who were giving up on Bogie already and saying, 153 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:22.960 you know, he lost us the game the other night, 154 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:27.440 stick with him. This guy is a professional shooter, and 155 00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:30.720 he got off the snide four of five from three 156 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:37.000 with huge ones in the fourth. Like the Clippers, they 157 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:42.679 weren't pulling away. Chicago wasn't going anywhere. Even with that 158 00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:47.559 James Harden twenty point third quarter, that level of takeover 159 00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.639 where he hit went the far side corner, then on 160 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:54.159 the right wing, then straight away to put him up 161 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:59.559 ninety five to eighty seven. Even with all that, as 162 00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.840 he was playing and just around the world on the perimeter, 163 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:08.440 knocking down three pointers like Kobe White couldn't miss, it 164 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:13.399 was going against him too. He ended up going four 165 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:19.320 of eleven. Josh Giddy was four of four. Are you 166 00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.279 kidding me? Trey Jones was two of two. 167 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:24.320 Herder who has. 168 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:27.639 Been struggling ever since that first round series with the 169 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:30.000 Kings against the Golden State Warriors a couple of years ago. 170 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.679 From three, he hasn't been the same. His confidence has 171 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:33.200 been down. 172 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:35.000 I didn't know. 173 00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:37.919 Josh Giddy was shooting thirty seven percent from three on 174 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:38.559 the season. 175 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.679 That's impressive. Maybe they didn't need to get a first 176 00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:43.519 round pick in. 177 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:47.000 That trade with Alice Cruzo going to ok see, he's 178 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:52.159 been good, he's become a better shooter. But so they're 179 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.320 getting a taste in our own medicine right back at him, 180 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.559 and the Clippers are only up five heading into the fourth. 181 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.480 To start the fourth, both teams turn it over. 182 00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:05.759 You got Simmons, Kawhi but toom Bogie and a mirror 183 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:11.399 out there. Simmons then has a steal that leads to 184 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:16.120 an a mirror layup and Chicago already with a sense 185 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:19.440 of urgency. There called a time out with the Clippers 186 00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:25.000 only up six. The Bulls then, and this was one 187 00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:29.240 disturbing trend. While they were hitting some crazy threes in 188 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:33.159 the second half, when they were missing shots, they were 189 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.799 getting those long rebounds. They were getting to a lot 190 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:38.840 of those fifty to fifty balls against the Clippers. I 191 00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:43.679 didn't like seeing that. The offensive rebounds, that's on the Clippers. 192 00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:48.759 There were far too many of them. They ended up with. 193 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:52.600 I want to say fourteen. It's my box score saying 194 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:59.399 eleven doesn't make sense. Their second chance points were really 195 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.799 hurting the Clippers. Yeah, they had fifteen offensive rebounds leaning 196 00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:06.879 to nineteen second chance points. Clippers had eleven offensive rebounds 197 00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:10.879 lean to seven. The turnovers were helping the Clippers by Chicago, 198 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.639 and that was because the Clippers ramped up the defensive 199 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.320 intensity in the second half. Chicago had just three turnovers 200 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:19.399 in the first half, fourteen to the second half. That 201 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:22.559 turned into seventeen turnovers for twenty nine points. 202 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.720 For the Clippers. This is what they do. 203 00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:28.919 Their second in the league in points off of turnovers. 204 00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.840 This is who they are. So I was very happy 205 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:33.799 to see. I think they had nine of them in 206 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:36.600 the third quarter alone, them getting back to doing what 207 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:40.919 they do best, turn you over. That's what the Clippers 208 00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:45.080 brand of basketball is. But early in the fourth they 209 00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.480 were still getting offensive rebounds even during a shot clock 210 00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:50.279 violation out of that timeout. After the Clippers went up 211 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:53.679 by six or excuse me seven and they called the timeout, 212 00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:56.600 then Simmons, it's a floater. Clippers are n't by nine. 213 00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:01.559 Chicago misses a three. Whoo, But then Trey Jones hits 214 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:03.759 a three. It's one o, two to ninety six. They 215 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.159 kept hitting these threes to keep them in it. That's 216 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.480 the modern NBA. Like you can play a bad team 217 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:12.879 and if they get hot by three or hot from three, 218 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.960 it doesn't matter. Like sometimes defense can be spectacular. You 219 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:20.799 can have a hand in their face, you can not 220 00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.519 give up any airspace. They're knocking them down. Guys catch 221 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.840 a rhythm. It is hard to stop them. In today's NBA. 222 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:29.919 That's just not something you had to deal with in 223 00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:30.440 the nineties. 224 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:31.480 We've done with the nineties. 225 00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:37.000 Simmons had then a pass to a mirror over his 226 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:40.840 shoulder and over the shoulder pass, beautiful pass to a 227 00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:44.639 mir for a layup Bogie hits a three, Clippers are 228 00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:47.480 up by eleven, one oh seven to ninety six. 229 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:49.960 I thought this was it. 230 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:53.399 We're not gonna have crunch time minutes. We're not gonna 231 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:56.480 maybe have to have James Harden get back into the ballgame. 232 00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:59.600 Giddy hits a three, went four to four from three. 233 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:04.559 Simmons missed a layup, then a putback, then another tip in. 234 00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:08.039 Clippers got it back, and then Kawhi turned it over. 235 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.120 Then you had Zach Collins, who had a huge game 236 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.240 against them. He gets a bucket on the other end. 237 00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:18.240 You go from being up eleven to being up five again. 238 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:21.120 Just like that, Kawhi gets a three to beat the 239 00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:22.960 shot clock on the right wing from distance. 240 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.519 Clippers are up by eight. Can they extend it out? 241 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.240 Can they stretch out this lead? Please? 242 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:32.080 Get some breathing difference, get him at arm's length. Zoo 243 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:36.960 comes in for Ben Simmons. Another offensive rebound leads to 244 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:42.440 a Herder three. Five point game again, Kawhi missus offensive 245 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:45.480 rebounds again by Chicago, a three by Jones. 246 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:49.440 Again, it's a two point game. 247 00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:54.600 Bokei has a block with the Clippers up to where 248 00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:55.840 it looks like he got hurt. 249 00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:58.679 A mirror hit, a clutch jumper. 250 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.440 By the way, everybody hating on a mere coffee lately. 251 00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:05.600 Everybody's in shambles right now from him. But right after that, 252 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:07.919 Hrder got a run out for a layup as he 253 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:11.000 beat James Harden. It's one, twelve, one ten, Clippers still 254 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:14.519 up by two. A mere miss is a three, Kawhi 255 00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:18.840 gets the rebound, Harden misses, Kawhi gets the rebound, Hard 256 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:24.480 misses again. Clipper's gonna stop on the other end, and 257 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:29.720 Bogie hits a three to put him up five. They're 258 00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:32.840 just not going anywhere though. Zach Collins, who looks like 259 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.080 an antagonist on one tree hill or something. 260 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:41.360 He has to hate. The face look to him two 261 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:42.879 pretty maybe for his own good. 262 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:45.519 The hair seems like he cares about it a lot. 263 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:47.960 He's a good player. I like Zach Caltz get it 264 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:51.639 have a hard time, but again another bucket from him. 265 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:57.600 Three point game, Harden hits a floater. Five point game. 266 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.360 Harden gets a steal on Giddy, But then there's that 267 00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:05.480 offensive foul on Bogie as he made this shot with 268 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.759 the Clippers up five, and it would have been an 269 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.799 and one. They reviewed it. They lost the challenge. They 270 00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:14.320 had a couple of timeouts left, they rolled the dice. 271 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:16.840 Some people here in the chat were saying, coach Lou 272 00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:18.320 always loses his reviews. 273 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:19.120 No, he doesn't. 274 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:23.600 I think ten over five hundred on reviews this season. 275 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:24.679 It's either nine or ten. 276 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.519 They're really good with reviews. They're one of the best 277 00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:27.919 in the league. 278 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:28.480 Of the Clippers. 279 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:35.480 The good news was after losing, as the call stood, 280 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:38.039 as the offensive foul stood. There, that's a turnover by 281 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:42.080 the Clippers. Collins traveled on the other end, he kind 282 00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:43.720 of lost the ball in a pass and picked it 283 00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:47.320 back up for a double dribble. Clippers ball up five 284 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:51.039 and James Harden now is an offensive foul on a 285 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:57.480 floater turnover, White layup three point game. Bogie would miss 286 00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:01.480 a floater, White would miss a three. Done, gets the rebound, 287 00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:05.960 and James Harden, with about fifteen seconds left, knocks down 288 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:09.480 a huge three pointer for the Clippers that would give 289 00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:11.599 them a little bit of airspace, a little bit of 290 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:16.079 breathing room. They would go on to win this one 291 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.400 one twenty two to one seventeen over. 292 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.759 The Chicago Bulls. Well, we have a moment. Let's pause 293 00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:22.920 ten seconds for station and identification. 294 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:24.680 Here on a five seventy LA Sports. 295 00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:29.160 This is LA Clippers Basketball AM five to seventy KLAC 296 00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:33.319 Los Angeles, ninety eight seven KYSR HD two Los Angeles 297 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:34.920 and iHeartRadio station. 298 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:38.839 Clippers win by five thanks to twenty seven in the 299 00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:42.119 second half from James Harden and all is well in 300 00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:45.319 the chat again. Everybody who's been panicking over the last 301 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:46.160 couple of games. 302 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:47.839 Now, I was like, you know what, I can see 303 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:49.640 the vision. I can see them as contenders. 304 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.240 You get norm Pal healthy, you get Kawhi playing at 305 00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:55.200 an all NBA level. This seems dangerous. We'll take you 306 00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:58.599 a quick time out. We'll come back, we'll talk about 307 00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:01.039 we got some postgame off. We'll get your phone calls 308 00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:03.480 to eight six six ninety seven two five seventy eight 309 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:08.519 six six ninety seven two five seventy. I'm out of Mosland. 310 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:13.200 Here listen two Clippers socer here on the nive seventy 311 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:13.799 LA Sports. 312 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:19.160 The hell Clippers. 313 00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:23.079 You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball. Take us with you 314 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:25.839 wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app. 315 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:26.480 Yeah. 316 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:29.759 The Clippers almost had a fifty to fifty ninety game, 317 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:33.079 fifty two percent from the field, fifty one percent from 318 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:36.960 three eighty eight percent from the free throw line. Well, 319 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:39.680 as Carlo pointed out, Chicago only went six of eleven, 320 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:43.759 only got up eleven free throws while teams have been 321 00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:46.480 averaging thirty free throws attempted. 322 00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:47.839 Over the last three games. 323 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:49.000 It had been an issue. 324 00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:54.720 Clippers win in Chicago once twenty two to one seventeen over. 325 00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:56.559 The Bulls of Bulls of bulls and Bulls of bulls. 326 00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.160 Clippers with forty four points off the bench. Chicago was 327 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.640 good there too, with thirty six Clippers on ones. They 328 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:04.920 had twenty four in the first half off the bench. 329 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:08.720 A mere coffee with twenty himself, he had fourteen in 330 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:12.559 the first half. Awesome game from a mirror, showing a 331 00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:18.319 ton of toughness out there. Really appreciate his effort. They 332 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:21.319 don't win this game without him, and he's been taking 333 00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:25.880 a lot and I think some unwarranted incoming recently. He 334 00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:29.519 started the game hitting a three in the first quarter, 335 00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:34.319 then the second quarter of three, curled for a lamp 336 00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:37.759 going left, a turnaround fade away on the right baseline, 337 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.319 a big jumper when they needed it in the fourth quarter, 338 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:45.720 two huge shot create a mere coffee. Cred this Clippers 339 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:50.319 team out shooting the Bulls. The Bulls are went nineteen 340 00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:53.200 to forty two from three. I'm telling you, guys, these 341 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:58.720 were not wide open threes. I was beside myself with 342 00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:01.319 some of the shots that were being hit by Chicago 343 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:04.279 from guys who aren't accustomed to always hitting them. 344 00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.319 No disrespect, but come on. 345 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:13.160 Zach Collins also was incredible with twenty one points seventeen rebounds. 346 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:17.519 I mean, Josh Giddy going four to four from three, 347 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:19.039 Zack Collins going two. 348 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:19.599 To four from three. 349 00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:20.920 What what? 350 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.000 But the Clippers overcame it all with their own hot shooting. 351 00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.920 I'm so happy for Bogey because he's been a Lakers 352 00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:33.880 killer in his past life as a member of the 353 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:38.119 Sacramento Kings, and for him to catch a rhythm like 354 00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:41.880 this after going something like two for his last twenty 355 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:44.720 from three, and then tonight he goes four or five hits, 356 00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:47.200 two of them in the fourth quarter. I think maybe 357 00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:50.480 all of them were in the second half. Just a 358 00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:53.440 huge game for Bogie to have those fourteen points in 359 00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:59.799 a knockdown four threes heading into two massive games this 360 00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:04.400 weekend against a team he used to torture when he played 361 00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:07.799 for the Kings. Got telling you, guys, don't give up 362 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:10.680 on Bogdanovic. Ooh, if I went through some of the 363 00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:14.119 receipts I had on people talking about Bogie, why was 364 00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:19.240 he playing last game? It's like, this is why you 365 00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:21.240 had to let him shoot himself out of that slump. 366 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:26.400 There's nothing wrong with his mechanics. There's nothing wrong with 367 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.079 his shot. He's moving well. It was in his head. 368 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:35.160 He said it postgame. You don't give up on guys 369 00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:35.680 like that. 370 00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:38.440 Career thirty eight percent three point shooters on. 371 00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:41.359 High volume, that can do it off the bounce, not 372 00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:44.240 just catch and shoot. You don't give up on guys 373 00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:47.200 like that. Bogey can swing a playoff game. He might 374 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:49.440 be able to swing a playoff series. The Clippers can't 375 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.319 get to where they want to go without him. So 376 00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:57.160 the reason coach lou stuck with him and showed that 377 00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:02.440 level of confidence in him is because nights like this 378 00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:06.599 can happen the very next game. I don't know if 379 00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:10.480 it happens. If he had taken Bogie out against the Pistons, 380 00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:18.000 not one for twelve performance. You look at body of work, 381 00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:21.920 that's you assessed guys. Sure if he was a different player, 382 00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:24.680 if he had some catshtrophic injury, and he was never 383 00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:27.079 the same and there was something accounting for this, I'd 384 00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:28.599 be like, yeah, he's not the same anymore. 385 00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:30.640 There's no reason he can't be the same, that he 386 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:31.440 can't be a thirty. 387 00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:32.480 Eight percent three point shooter. 388 00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:35.799 Right now, he's played i think thirty one games now 389 00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:40.119 this season. He hasn't gotten up enough threes to say that, 390 00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:43.279 Oh now he's you know, lost his confidence his shot 391 00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:45.680 just because he was shooting thirty percent when he came 392 00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:54.119 over from Atlanta. Bogie is far from washed. Yeah, Free 393 00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:56.839 TV in here is admitting to being a little bit 394 00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:57.720 of a prisoner of the moment. 395 00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:58.559 I appreciate that. 396 00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:03.480 I heard a lot of people saying it, shoot the 397 00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:04.799 shot is the last thing to go. 398 00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:09.759 Like, you guys ever watched Mark Jackson beat Steph Curry 399 00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:12.000 in a three point shooting contest back when he was 400 00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:17.160 the head coach of the Golden State Warriors. Like, these 401 00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:22.119
