Speaker 1: Phone in. You're taking your calls on the LA Clippers
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: This is Clippers Talk.
Speaker 1: On Aaron on Demand, the Clippers Show of Record.
Speaker 2: Your chance to react to everything.
Speaker 1: Clippers Clippers news happens.
Speaker 2: Let me guess it's about Kawhi. Here we are and
Speaker 2: now here. He is the host of your LA Clippers
Speaker 2: pre and postgame.
Speaker 1: At follow Adam a Adam Osley. The Clippers just Slade
Speaker 1: the Man Bear Pig, Leviah Kraken, Beast from the East.
Speaker 1: Here at into a dome. Welcome in. After the Clippers
Speaker 1: take down the Cavaliers one thirty two to one nineteen.
Speaker 1: I'm out of Oslin. This is Clippers Talk live from
Speaker 1: the Dome. The Dome is home. What a win? Clipper Nation.
Speaker 1: Eight sixty six ninety eight seven two five seventy. Eight
Speaker 1: sixty six ninety eight seven two five seventy is the
Speaker 1: phone number. Chef's kiss of victory for this Clippers team.
Speaker 1: And it started in that first half as I was
Speaker 1: criticizing their defensive effort at times with guys being hunted
Speaker 1: out there and the Clippers not adjusting. The Cleveland Cavaliers
Speaker 1: are that good. They have great game plan, discipline. They're
Speaker 1: going to just completely poke it. All your weaknesses, your
Speaker 1: holes out there, They're going to find them, they're going
Speaker 1: to exploit them. And they were going right after James Harden,
Speaker 1: bringing him up and getting a switch on to him
Speaker 1: with whoever they wanted, Garland Heavin Mobley, who we actually
Speaker 1: played decent defense against Donovan Mitchell. They were absolutely going
Speaker 1: after him and Bogey the weakest link defensively. It's smart,
Speaker 1: it was working. They were creating a ton of open
Speaker 1: shots out of it and great looks. They get James
Speaker 1: Harden on them, get past them, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, Big Zoo has to come over and help.
Speaker 1: The Clippers are in rotation, they're scrambling, and the Calves
Speaker 1: are getting whatever they want. That was the first half,
Speaker 1: and really, I would say the first twenty minutes of
Speaker 1: the first half before the Clippers start to adjust or
Speaker 1: started to adjust and gave them a taste of their
Speaker 1: own medicine. The Cavaliers hit eleven three pointers in the
Speaker 1: first half of this ballgame. The Cavaliers put up seventy
Speaker 1: points in the first half of this ballgame, seventy three
Speaker 1: to be exact, and yet the Clippers were only down five.
Speaker 1: How'd they do it. They fired right back. They actually
Speaker 1: outshot the Calves from three in the first half as
Speaker 1: they started the second quarter, hitting their first five shots
Speaker 1: all three pointers. Unbelievable shooting, fight fire with fire. The
Speaker 1: Calves have a historically great offense. Tonight the Clippers, who
Speaker 1: haven't had a great offense throughout most of the season,
Speaker 1: but also haven't had this version of Kawhi throughout most
Speaker 1: of the season. They looked the part. They looked like
Speaker 1: they could be a top ten offense. And what have
Speaker 1: we been talking about forever? You match that with how
Speaker 1: good they've been defensively all season. Now you're cooking for them.
Speaker 1: To go twelve of twenty three in the first half
Speaker 1: from three and to stay within five. It showed will, focus, determination.
Speaker 1: They didn't give in. They could have sentenced the Calves night.
Speaker 1: They're not missing. Last game, the Calves go ten to
Speaker 1: forty from three in a game they lost to our Land.
Speaker 1: You know, tonight they hit seven threes in the first quarter,
Speaker 1: and the Clippers just said, cool, bet we're gonna put
Speaker 1: them up and knock them down and stay with you
Speaker 1: and hang until our defense shows up in better form. Incredible.
Speaker 1: They got fifteen in the first half from James Harden,
Speaker 1: who was only three of ten, but those eleven points
Speaker 1: from Norm, eleven from Kawhi and Bogey off the bench
Speaker 1: started three of three and hit all his threes. Kawhi
Speaker 1: started three of three from three in the first half.
Speaker 1: There were some clutch shots out there when it looked
Speaker 1: like the dam was about to break against the Clippers,
Speaker 1: and they just kept hanging around. Then you get into
Speaker 1: that third quarter and it looked like we saw Kawhi
Speaker 1: Leonard again, last year's version prime Kawhi Leonard. He had
Speaker 1: fifteen in the third hit another three, hitting devastating, tough,
Speaker 1: fadeaway shots that you can do nothing about. He looks
Speaker 1: right through the defenders. I tweeted out. I said, guys,
Speaker 1: this looks like prime Kawhi. This looks like the version
Speaker 1: we've been waiting for. He showed up in a big
Speaker 1: game in a big moment. This looks like a guy
Speaker 1: who can be your number one option on a championship squad.
Speaker 1: This was the formula tonight of how they have to play.
Speaker 1: This is the type or version of Kawhi they need
Speaker 1: in a seven game series to see that it's still
Speaker 1: there and he can still find that gear in a
Speaker 1: big game like this. I hope it's foreshadowing of things
Speaker 1: to come. That third quarter was unreal. And then the
Speaker 1: way he ended the game going to work against Evan
Speaker 1: Mobley like that, the baseline jumper over him incredible, a
Speaker 1: three over the double team, then iss Mobley was still
Speaker 1: on him. That put him up one thirty to one seventeen.
Speaker 1: That was the game, his best game of the season
Speaker 1: by far. You get thirty three on just nineteen shots,
Speaker 1: five of six from three. Remember, just recently we're talking
Speaker 1: about ohs three point shootings down. What's going on? Well,
Speaker 1: that's about just turned around. People are saying the same
Speaker 1: thing about Bogie for a while he went four or
Speaker 1: four from three. This was if that was prime Kawhi,
Speaker 1: this was Team Serbia Bogi. This was the guy who
Speaker 1: almost got them the victory in the Olympics against Team
Speaker 1: USA where they led by seventeen. He was better in
Speaker 1: that game than Jokic and he loves the big moments.
Speaker 1: That floater he hit near the end of this game
Speaker 1: for his final points off balance, falling away, incredible shot
Speaker 1: making and the confidence was there. What more do you
Speaker 1: need to see? This is why they brought him in.
Speaker 1: This is why they made a tough trade. Terrence Man's
Speaker 1: a Clippers legend. Bogey offers something different, something they need
Speaker 1: somebody who can do it off the bounce, catch him,
Speaker 1: shoot threes, can get to the mid range ipan. The
Speaker 1: shot making was unreal. Clippers win one thirty two to
Speaker 1: one nineteen. And before we break, shout out Big Zoo.
Speaker 1: Twenty eight points on his twenty eighth birthday eight and
Speaker 1: twenty against Evan Mobley and Jared Allen. He outperforms both
Speaker 1: of them incredible and his six buckets were probably the
Speaker 1: most key down the stretch. He bodied both of them.
Speaker 1: That's not supposed to happen. They got the new twin
Speaker 1: Towers over there. Evan Mobley might be the defensive player
Speaker 1: of the year, and a vista Zubas went through him.
Speaker 1: This is the Zubos that I knew that I knew
Speaker 1: he could be capable of performances like this if they
Speaker 1: just got him involved more. And then with the year
Speaker 1: he's having, maybe he'll be most improved player in the NBA.
Speaker 1: But I think this is just opportunity. He's finally getting it. Addition,
Speaker 1: by subtraction, Clippers win one thirty two to one nineteen.
Speaker 1: We'll take a quick time out, will come back more
Speaker 1: Clippers stock here add into a dome. I'm out of
Speaker 1: Mosland and you're listening to a five to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 2: You're listening to LA Clippers basketball free ball, Yes, sir,
Speaker 2: right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Clippers were their best victory of the season, one thirty
Speaker 1: two to one nineteen. Open the Cleveland Cavaliers. Here it
Speaker 1: into a dome. They passed this test tonight. We were
Speaker 1: wondering how they would do and for them to be
Speaker 1: able to pass it with flying colors while facing a
Speaker 1: Cavaliers team that could miss from three in the first half,
Speaker 1: and the Clippers hung right there. They hung tough to
Speaker 1: eventually get their defense to settle in to where they
Speaker 1: only gave up seventeen points in the fourth quarter and
Speaker 1: they pulled away to win by thirteen. Kawhi has thirty
Speaker 1: three on just nineteen shots. Tough shots looked like playoff Kawhi,
Speaker 1: look like prime Kawhi. Leonard big Zoo, he's still entering
Speaker 1: his prime. He just turned twenty eight and he got
Speaker 1: twenty eight and twenty on. Evan Mobley and Jared Allen
Speaker 1: destroyed them. They had nothing for Big Zoo. Let's go
Speaker 1: to Kyle in Brooklyn. Kyle, you got thirty seconds here
Speaker 1: on Clippers stock. We got a lot of calls to
Speaker 1: get to.
Speaker 3: Hey, Man, just call in and sell you.
Speaker 4: I actually think that's the best Zoo Boss game I've
Speaker 4: ever seen. To be quite frank, I just think that,
Speaker 4: and there's all kinds of positivity coming from my end
Speaker 4: on how the rest of the season can go. Everyone
Speaker 4: looks comfortable in this game. I feel real good and
Speaker 4: that said Man, good Clippers.
Speaker 1: Great call Kyle saying that's the best Big Zoo game ever.
Speaker 1: Considering the competition, the stakes of this game, the Clippers
Speaker 1: need to win to keep pace in the Western Conference
Speaker 1: and try to get out of the play in I
Speaker 1: agree with you. This is the game where everybody will say, Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe he is a top five center in the league.
Speaker 1: Took him long enough, not Big Zoo. The national media
Speaker 1: to pay attention. Lenny in Inglewood, Lenny, you're on clipperstock
Speaker 1: with out of Maslin. Keep it short here, let him.
Speaker 1: We got a lot of calls.
Speaker 3: I had him. I'm gonna try to keep me shure.
Speaker 3: You might have telled me off, but keep talking that talk. Man.
Speaker 3: What did I tell you, Bro? I said, we're almost there.
Speaker 3: Let's not do the Clipper thing and say, hey, we
Speaker 3: beat we beat the first of all, Cleveland is an
Speaker 3: amazing team. I haven't seen a team that that good
Speaker 3: from top to bottom in years.
Speaker 1: The way they ran their offense tonight, the Cleveland Cavaliers
Speaker 1: to your point, and the way they mismatch hunted, and
Speaker 1: how they just held true to their game plan. I
Speaker 1: was so impressed with the Cavaliers, so impressed I was.
Speaker 3: I was like, if we but I knew we were
Speaker 3: gonna pull this out late. I was with my boy
Speaker 3: in the in the bar, and I said, no, we're
Speaker 3: gonna be donna get this late. We don't get this late.
Speaker 3: But let me tell you something once again, Lawrence Frank
Speaker 3: needs a statue because he got rid. He told Paul
Speaker 3: George to kick Rocks. Okay, we don't need your podcast
Speaker 3: be We're good here. We're gonna go out and get
Speaker 3: some some ballers. We appreciate you, but you need to go.
Speaker 3: He told Mobamba, you gotta go, Bro, you are not him.
Speaker 3: Then he told Trey Man, you are great. You were
Speaker 3: a great Clipper. You did great things for us, But
Speaker 3: you're not that dude. Bogdanovitch. Is that dude.
Speaker 1: Vogdanovitch is Lenny, Lenny I'm saying, I'm saying, and I
Speaker 1: appreciate the phone call. Bogey is that guy. I'd be knowing.
Speaker 1: I've been knowing that Bogey is like this and contributed
Speaker 1: to that hot three point shooting by the Clippers so
Speaker 1: they could stay in the ball game and not to
Speaker 1: just get blown out in the first half. It could
Speaker 1: have happened. I saw a resilient team though, that had
Speaker 1: a different look to them, said no, no, no, no, this
Speaker 1: is a big test for us. We're gonna find a way.
Speaker 1: And they had a stretch between the end of the
Speaker 1: first quarter and the start of the second quarter where
Speaker 1: the Clippers made nine field goals in all were three
Speaker 1: point shots. They made nine straight threes from the end
Speaker 1: of the first into the star of the second. I
Speaker 1: know they hit the first five shots that were all threes.
Speaker 1: That start the second incredible. Well, take a quick time out,
Speaker 1: we'll come back. We'll get to your phone calls eight
Speaker 1: six six ninety seven two five seventy eight six six
Speaker 1: ninety seven two five to seventy I'm out of Mazsland.
Speaker 1: Live here and into a dome after the best victory
Speaker 1: of the season by your LA Clippers, one three two
Speaker 1: to one nineteen over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Get to us
Speaker 1: on the YouTube side at Clippers Talk if you want
Speaker 1: to keep the chat going during the break. More clipperstock
Speaker 1: next journing in five to seven LA Sports.
Speaker 5: I love this team.
Speaker 2: I never miss a game. You're listening to LA Clippers
Speaker 2: Basketball free ball, Yes, sir, right here on the LA
Speaker 2: Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Clippers won one thirty two to one nineteen over the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavaliers. Here and into a dome. Welcome back in
Speaker 1: I'm out of Mosland. Celebrate this one. Clipper Nation got
Speaker 1: a couple of days off to do so till they
Speaker 1: take on the Memphis Grizzlies here Friday. It's a huge victory.
Speaker 1: It is. We said coming into this one, this would
Speaker 1: say a lot about the Clippers one way or another.
Speaker 1: It was gonna say a lot. If they got blown
Speaker 1: out by the Cleveland Cavaliers, we'd probably be saying they're
Speaker 1: just being outclassed, They're not good enough. Tonight, the Clippers
Speaker 1: meet the expectations that a lot of people had for
Speaker 1: them when we first talked about whoh, this defense looks
Speaker 1: so good. I mean, this team is constructed, looks so good.
Speaker 1: If they get back last season's version of Kawhi Leonard,
Speaker 1: what can they do? Is this sky the limit? People
Speaker 1: are saying terminator resurrection here in the chat. Kawhi looked
Speaker 1: that nasty tonight in the mid range. The shot that
Speaker 1: had been evading him, His signature shot that he hadn't
Speaker 1: been as good with, showed up in the biggest game
Speaker 1: tonight as you would expect. If you're wondering why I've
Speaker 1: been stressing, you have to play through Kawhi as your
Speaker 1: number one option to get to reach your highest ceiling
Speaker 1: as a team. Tonight's a great example of why James
Speaker 1: Harden struggled five of eighteen still at twenty two points,
Speaker 1: nine assists to zero turnovers. I gotta give him a
Speaker 1: lot of love for the zero turnovers tonight. The Clippers
Speaker 1: only had thirteen as a team. They needed a number
Speaker 1: that low because the Cavs had nine. But this is
Speaker 1: why to be the best version of yourself as the Clippers,
Speaker 1: you got to play through Kawhi as the number one option.
Speaker 1: It's the only way it'll have you reach your highest ceiling.
Speaker 1: They go as far as Kawhi can take them. Still,
Speaker 1: now does he have more help? Oh yeah, and Kawhi
Speaker 1: looks for Big Zoo often. By the way, they have
Speaker 1: a lot of guys win healthy, like they were for
Speaker 1: the most part tonight. normOn Powell is still out of rhythm,
Speaker 1: got in foul trouble. Chris Dunn gotten foul trouble. Well,
Speaker 1: there were some tough calls to win against them. There
Speaker 1: was almost the craziest overturn I'd ever seen in my
Speaker 1: life where Evan Mobley was battling for a rebound against Bogdanovich.
Speaker 1: They reviewed it and said it was out on Bogue
Speaker 1: when Evan Mobley had the ball palmed basically and was
Speaker 1: the last one to touch it. And then one of
Speaker 1: the rests came and corrected it and said, no, that's
Speaker 1: Clippers basketball. Quickly, before we go time out here, we
Speaker 1: got Matt and Hawaii. All right, what's up, Matt, you're
Speaker 1: on Clipper sock?
Speaker 5: Hey, what's up at him? I just so I know
Speaker 5: you gotta be quick, but I just wanted to say
Speaker 5: Bogee really showed out tonight, and I just want to
Speaker 5: say the next move by Lawrence Frank because honestly, I
Speaker 5: love chance Man, but I don't know if Terence could
Speaker 5: have done what Bogie does tonight, and it was it
Speaker 5: was incredible. Zoo top two, like top top three at
Speaker 5: the worst. I don't want to hear any top five nonsense.
Speaker 5: Some more like easily by easily all.
Speaker 1: Right, Matt, don't be a stranger in Hawaii. It's earlier
Speaker 1: over there. Anyways. You should be able to call in
Speaker 1: when we're doing Clippers stock after dark and you're like
Speaker 1: at dinner time or whatever with the time difference. Matt
Speaker 1: appreciate the phone call. He says, Zoo's top two, top
Speaker 1: three center in the league. There's gonna be a discussion now.
Speaker 1: I said coming into this year, I'd take him over Sabonis.
Speaker 1: Some people thought that was crazy. We'll take a time out,
Speaker 1: we'll come back, we'll close things out. Clippers win one
Speaker 1: point thirty two to one nineteen as they get twenty
Speaker 1: eight and twenty from Big Zoo. As he turns twenty
Speaker 1: eight and dominates Evan Mobley and Jared Allen. He dominated
Speaker 1: triple J this year. He dominated a D. He's been
Speaker 1: doing this against the best. He shows up in big
Speaker 1: games outside DeAndre eight, and nobody's getting the best of
Speaker 1: Big Suo anymore. I don't know what it is with Aiden,
Speaker 1: but by clipperstock. Next yarn the M five seven ELA Sports.
Speaker 5: I love this team.
Speaker 2: I never miss a game. You're listening to LA Clippers
Speaker 2: basketball free ball, Yes, sir, right here on the LA
Speaker 2: Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: Clippers take down the team with the best wrecker in
Speaker 1: the league. Hear it into its own. They beat what
Speaker 1: was the fifty six and eleven Cleveland Cavaliers now fifty
Speaker 1: six and twelve. Clippers won thirty two calves one nineteen.
Speaker 1: Clippers now still in the A spot. There are a
Speaker 1: half game behind the Minnesota Timberwolves in the seventh spot.
Speaker 1: Did the Golden State Warriors win tonight without Steph Curry?
Speaker 1: They did over Milwaukee. That's tough. The Clippers just got
Speaker 1: to handle their own business right now, and they showed
Speaker 1: us something. They gave us a glimpse into how good
Speaker 1: this team can be when they're fully healthy and locked in,
Speaker 1: and Kawhi looks to be back. We'll see. We need
Speaker 1: a string of these games. But when I see a
Speaker 1: game of this magnitude in Kawhi rising, to the occasion.
Speaker 1: I started to think to myself again, here we go.
Speaker 1: He's still that guy, and if you get in a
Speaker 1: playoff series with him, you can take down to anybody.
Speaker 1: He's that good, especially with this version of Big Zoo.
Speaker 1: James Harden didn't have his best, Oron Powell didn't have
Speaker 1: his best, but Bogie helped out and the Clippers found
Speaker 1: a way to put up one thirty two on the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavaliers. They look like the best offense in the league,
Speaker 1: not the Cavs. Before we get out of here, I
Speaker 1: do want to thank the Clippers organization. Ralph Lauler, Brian Seeman,
Speaker 1: no what ego, Carlo Jimenez on the call, Big Brother,
Speaker 1: Jake Warner, our head engineer back here at the Dome,
Speaker 1: Daniel West, our producer back in the bank, Joey with
