Hear it 13 00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.399 into its home. Welcome back. I'm out a moslind This 14 00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.280 is Clippers Talk on a five to seventy LA's Sports 15 00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.560 eight sixty six ninety seven two five seventy eight sixty 16 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.880 six ninety eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. 17 00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.320 I don't know if you categorize this as their worst 18 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.399 loss in the season or losing by twenty five to 19 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.200 the Lakers on Tuesday, but this is definitely the worst 20 00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:09.959 week of the season so far for the Clippers, worst 21 00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:14.920 week ever. This is a low point of the season, 22 00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:19.959 because it looked like they were responding to everything. Coach 23 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.400 lew had said postgame after the loss of the Lakers 24 00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:25.400 Tuesday night, when they were up by twenty two, was 25 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:30.319 it fools gold? All those threes falling for them? A 26 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.719 lot of them were open. The ball movement was ball 27 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:37.959 movement was there? I liked what I was seeing, obviously. 28 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:41.920 In the first quarter, the Clippers almost tied an NBA 29 00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.000 record for threes made in a quarter in a game 30 00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.280 they lost. They went ten to fifteen from three in 31 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:52.200 the first quarter. The record is eleven made threes in 32 00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.879 a quarter, held by the Boston Celtics, as they did 33 00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:58.680 that against the Clippers in Boston this season, where they 34 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.239 just couldn't miss anything. That take over fifty three is 35 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.560 a game. Of course, that's the team that has the 36 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.760 record for most threes in a quarter. But the Clippers 37 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.560 are right there, ten to fifteen, they're up forty two 38 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:11.879 to twenty two. They get up forty four to twenty 39 00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:16.479 two in the second and at one point they're down 40 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.360 by second. They're down by seven, I should say, in 41 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:24.919 the second quarter. That is a twenty nine point turnaround. 42 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:32.599 How does that happen? You ask, Well, it takes a 43 00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:35.240 lot of turnovers and a lot of extra possessions and 44 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:40.199 easy buckets going the other way against you, self inflicted wounds, 45 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:48.599 miss cues, poor judgment, calls, I lack of focus, that is, 46 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:57.919 I mean historically bad. At one point, after the Clippers 47 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:02.319 led by twenty two in the second quarter, they're down 48 00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.039 by I think it ended up being six at sixty 49 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:10.639 four to fifty eight. So a twenty eight point turnaround 50 00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.039 because there was a three pointer that was corrected to 51 00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:17.599 a two pointer. A twenty eight point turnaround in eleven minutes. 52 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:23.479 In eleven minutes, a twenty eight point turnaround from up 53 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:30.479 twenty two to down six six straight turnovers around the 54 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:38.680 three minute mark of the second Who had them? Who's responsible? 55 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:45.639 Zoo had one? Derek Jones junior, Amir Coffee, James Harden, 56 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:50.960 Derek Jones junior, Norman Powell. So it's an array of guys, 57 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:59.159 a potpourri of turnovers. But the underlying problem there, underlying 58 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:04.680 problem is they don't have enough ball handlers. Hopefully Bogie 59 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:09.400 can help them in that area, and they just don't 60 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.639 handle the press well. And I've been saying this for 61 00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.120 a while, and this is why I say a win 62 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.839 is never a win. When the Golden State Warriors turned 63 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.839 them over twelve times in a fourth quarter a month ago, 64 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.720 whenever it was in a game, the Clippers still won 65 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.519 because they were leading by so much. They can withstand 66 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:32.680 turning the ball over twelve times in the fourth quarter 67 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:34.439 to still win that game. Here at into it on 68 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.959 one o two to ninety two, I said, look out, yeah, 69 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:40.920 they may have won the ball game. That is a 70 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:45.680 bad win. Why because you just gave red meat to 71 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.480 the rest of the league that says we can't handle 72 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:54.160 the press. You get into our airspace, We're gonna hand 73 00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:58.120 you the basketball in a silver platter. I said it then, 74 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:04.600 and it's been happy tonight. This was your disaster class 75 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:13.360 or disaster piece of just absolute unseerious basketball. When it 76 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:18.480 came to turnovers by this Clippers team, they got a problem, 77 00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.480 they got a flaw. Now, I've also been saying, hey, 78 00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:26.240 Kawhi gets back to playing regular minutes, that's gonna help 79 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.560 out the turnovers. And they have been down. They were, 80 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:31.759 I want to say a week ago when Kawhi was 81 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.000 about ten games in, the Clippers, in games that he played, 82 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.279 were only turning it over thirteen times per game, which 83 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:39.839 is much better than the almost seventeen times per game 84 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:44.360 they're at on the year. But tonight Kawhi played thirty 85 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:48.639 four almost thirty four minutes, his season high, and they 86 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:50.800 still had nineteen turnovers, and they had some of the 87 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:56.399 worst turnovers you will see. The second unit looked bad 88 00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:02.120 to start the second quarter. Remember Kawi said that that 89 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:09.079 second group with himself, has to be better. They weren't. Hey, 90 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.399 there are so many issues in a ball game where 91 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.600 you lead by twenty two and give it away to 92 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.279 point two. I don't know if I got enough time. 93 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.079 I'm taking it till the top of the hour, though, 94 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:27.199 but I'm telling you it's a real issue the Clippers 95 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.439 and turnovers. I think it's fatigue. I think it's high 96 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:36.160 usage for certain players, older guys, because it takes juice 97 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:39.800 and explosiveness sometimes to break the press. Sometimes it's not 98 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:47.079 just passing. It's obviously having your defender making you turn 99 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.240 multiple times in the backcourt. And you was standing that 100 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:52.839 not turning the ball over. If they're gonna pick you 101 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:55.399 up ninety four feet, they're gonna try to turn you 102 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.040 and you just have to have the stamina, the energy 103 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.040 the on ball use to get through it, and the 104 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:08.360 Clippers don't. Kauhi had some bad turnovers. He had five 105 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:12.360 of them, a couple that looked I think two in 106 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.519 the fourth quarter, even though he had eleven of his 107 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.000 nineteen points there. And I wouldn't say he had a 108 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.120 great game by any stretch, just because he had a 109 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:24.279 good fourth quarter shooting wise, and he did get to 110 00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.720 thirty four minutes, which was encouraging, but he had some 111 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:31.399 bad turnovers that looked to be fatigue. Both teams at 112 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.720 one point look gassed. After a frenetic pace in the 113 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:41.639 first half, it caught up with them and it was 114 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.759 a slower game in the second half. Nobody was having 115 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.360 a forty two point quarter like the Clippers did in 116 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:49.720 the first quarter, like the Pacers did in the second quarter. 117 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:57.279 The Clippers, guys, they went just about five minutes scoreless 118 00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.639 in that second quarter after a U Banks tippin, who 119 00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:02.480 was good tonight. If you're looking for a bright spot, 120 00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:05.240 I thought Drew Eubanks played well. I liked his hustle. 121 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.879 He ended up a zero in the net rating, which 122 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.680 you would take in a game like this, but it's 123 00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:16.399 single game net rating. It doesn't mean that much. I 124 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:21.040 just thought it test said, he played hard, he had 125 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.279 a dunk. I think in the open court, he ran 126 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.160 the court well, and he has much more of a 127 00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:30.600 motor than Mobamba, and that's all I'm looking for. I 128 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:35.200 think he's better than Obamba. I know a lot of 129 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.919 you are concerned with Kawhi Leonard and saying some wild 130 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.840 stuff like he should retire. Kawhi has washed all these things. 131 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:43.919 I've just heard this stuff so much before. And then 132 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.720 Kawhi hits the gas and he looks like a top 133 00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:50.559 five player in the league again. The start of last 134 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.840 season it was better than this, of course, but it 135 00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:57.159 wasn't great. It was the game against the Kings where 136 00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:58.679 he kind of snapped out of it where he had 137 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:02.080 that dunk on JaVale McGee, where he started playing quicker faster, 138 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:05.080 was making quicker decisions out there. And then he went 139 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.519 on that stretch where he had the all time efficiency 140 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:11.879 record over a thirty game stretch where he was shooting 141 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:24.519 fifty seven, fifty one ninety two, shooting splits. But I've 142 00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.240 seen a similar Kawhi that we saw when he came 143 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:32.559 back from the ACL where he's really picking his spots. 144 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:36.759 He's not being overly aggressive and maybe that's all it is, 145 00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:40.639 because I'm seeing him long on some of these jumpers. 146 00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:42.559 If he was short on everything, I'd say he has 147 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:44.879 no lift. I'm seeing him long on a lot of 148 00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:46.840 these and a lot of the shots he was missing 149 00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:49.519 through the first three quarters, there were the same shots 150 00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:51.799 that fell on the fourth. Like he had a quick 151 00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.519 move we went past Siakam for a floater in the fourth. 152 00:09:54.559 --> 00:10:00.039 Early on, he had some quick moves. He had some 153 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:05.200 times out there where he looked slow, obviously, or he 154 00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:08.879 was stuck in quicksand like, I think this is game 155 00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:11.440 thirteen for him. I know that, and this is part 156 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:14.399 of the process, the ramp up, because remember they were 157 00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:18.360 saying it first, he's in preseason mode. Now I will 158 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.679 say this, in a game where he plays almost thirty 159 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:23.840 four minutes, he probably needs to get closer to twenty shots. 160 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.360 He was at sixteen, but he took a lot in 161 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.080 the fourth quarter, and I would have loved seeing him 162 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.519 be more aggressive in the second and third quarters when 163 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:37.320 Indiana was making their move. This is a great comment. 164 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:41.120 They need to trade everyone, get picks and rebuild. The 165 00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:48.240 trade deadline was today, Junior Adam Richard. The trade deadline 166 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:58.120 was has passed. We'll take you a quick time out 167 00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.240 for my sanity. Eight sixty six ninety seven two five 168 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:04.200 seventy eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy 169 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:10.879 is the phone number. This guy's just getting a straight mute. 170 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:16.080 That's such a ridiculous comment at Clippers Talk on YouTube. 171 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:18.399 Maybe it's a troll. I don't know who's real, who's not. 172 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.879 It's the internet. Clippers lose a twenty two point lead 173 00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:23.960 and fall one nineteen to one twelve. Hearing into a 174 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.159 dome to the Indiana Pacers. I'm out of Maslin. And 175 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:27.879 if you're listening to Clippers talk here on a five 176 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:28.879 seventy LA Sports. 177 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.799 This is the LA Clippers Audio Network, best fans and 178 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:35.360 best arena in the entire sport. 179 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:38.759 Take us with you wherever you are on the IHEARTRADIOP 180 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:40.120 Back to Clippers basketball. 181 00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:45.360 I'm looking at the Indiana Pacers' Twitter account, x account, 182 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:47.159 whatever you want to call it. After the Clippers blow 183 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:50.000 a twenty two point lead and lose one nineteen to 184 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.679 one to twelve. Here to the Pacers, add into a dome, 185 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:54.600 Welcome back in. I'm out a MASLM. This is Clippers 186 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.720 Talk and you're looking at these turnovers during this timeframe 187 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:03.879 of this night team point turnaround. As La Murray said, 188 00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:07.559 this clip should inspire every team the Clippers play. They 189 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:10.679 are never out of a game. These are soft turnovers 190 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:15.080 and the most elementary of basketball plays. It's the same 191 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:19.960 stuff I saw with the twelve turnovers they had against 192 00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:25.360 the Warriors in that fourth quarter. I go back to 193 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:31.720 that game. I think the twelve turnovers in that fourth 194 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.759 quarter and a game they won by ten against Golden 195 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:38.480 State here and into a dome, gave teams the blue book. 196 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:47.200 That was the red meat, that was ding ding ding 197 00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:51.639 red flag. Uh oh, Clippers can't handle the press. This 198 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:54.879 is a real issue. But everybody said it wins a win. Adam, 199 00:12:55.440 --> 00:13:01.360 what's the problem. Do you think team just walk into 200 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:04.799 the locker room win or loss and say, well, we're 201 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:09.279 gonna hit the men in black memory eraser mechanism thing 202 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:13.440 and they just forget about all the context and how 203 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:17.919 they won or how they lost. I'm telling you, a 204 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:19.879 win is not a win, a loss is not a loss. 205 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.080 It matters how you play out there. It matters to 206 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.720 build good habits. It matters what you put on tape 207 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:28.799 for teams to watch, because they're going to expose your 208 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:32.120 flaws and the Clippers they were putting out bad tape, 209 00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:35.840 and that eventually leads to a loss like this and 210 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:39.799 maybe the loss of the Raptors too. Other teams are 211 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.960 picking them up full court selectively, not all game. But 212 00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:46.320 when they ramp up that full court pressure, the Clippers 213 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:57.240 can't handle it. I'm telling you that's the issue. I'm 214 00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:03.279 looking for postgame quotes from coach lou but that is 215 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:09.120 a real issue. So I never want to hear. A 216 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:12.360 win's a win, A loss is a loss. Again, doesn't 217 00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:14.399 matter how you lose, you get, blow it down you no, 218 00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:20.399 it all matters. It all goes into what happens next. 219 00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:28.360 And this is as disappointing of a week with the 220 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:31.279 loss of the Lakers and now tonight's loss up by 221 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:36.240 twenty two as you can have. So hopefully the Clippers respond. 222 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:45.759 I just I can't say enough about how unbelievably bad 223 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:51.720 these turnovers are. Just watch the tape. Maybe that's encouraging 224 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:55.360 because it should be correctable or fixable, but I don't 225 00:14:55.360 --> 00:15:02.000 know because it keeps happening. So are they gonna get 226 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:05.679 the message? Is anybody gonna be convinced if they win? 227 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.679 By twenty against Utah that the Clippers are fine. Now, No, 228 00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:17.039 here's coach lou postgame. This is interesting, he said, quote, 229 00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:20.159 I didn't mind tonight's game. You're not gonna win every game. 230 00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.919 Just things we can learn. He said, the Clippers had 231 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:27.919 the right intent, but were hurt by careless turnovers and 232 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.600 mental mistakes. I mean they were up by twenty two. See, 233 00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:38.440 might have the right intent. Then there were some good things. 234 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:46.080 But here's James Harden postgame. He doesn't think there's any 235 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:49.480 specific themes for the Clippers during this losing streak. He said, Nope, 236 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:56.799 it's a long season. It's the NBA, all right. Well, 237 00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:01.519 I hope the guys, if they're not gonna dwell on 238 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:06.600 it too much, can somehow spin this into a winning 239 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:10.600 streak coming up before the All Star break, because we're 240 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:14.159 almost there. They do have three days coming off coming up, 241 00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:18.440 which I don't know if guys are looking ahead to 242 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.000 those three days off or not. But at this point, 243 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:23.639 with some of the stuff I've seen, I think it's 244 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:27.519 worth thinking about. I think it's worth thinking about whether 245 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:33.639 they let up a tons because Kawhi is back. We 246 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:35.919 all know this is one of eighty two, but it's 247 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:38.759 not one. We said that last game. Now it's two. 248 00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:42.000 It's the Raptors game. They've lost three in a row 249 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:44.600 in different ways. 250 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:44.480 But. 251 00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:51.519 Not handling ball pressure well, teams playing faster that does 252 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:55.559 give them issues. Even though look, Indiana came out playing fast, 253 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:57.519 the Clippers were by twenty two. So I don't even know. 254 00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:04.559 It's a little bit difficult to decipher the theme or 255 00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.839 the pattern or the trend exactly what's going on. But overall, 256 00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.200 the Clippers have had a turnover issue this year. It's 257 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:15.400 been their achilles heel that has consistently been there, and 258 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:22.319 tonight was their disaster piece. It's not just they only 259 00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.680 had nineteen turnovers, and I say only because they've had 260 00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:27.640 more than that this season at times, but thirty two 261 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:30.799 points off of nineteen turnovers, the amount of easy layups 262 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:34.000 and dunks that the Pacers got in key moments too 263 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.279 late in the game where they outscored the Clippers nineteen 264 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:39.319 to seven. The last three to eleven of the ball game, 265 00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:45.400 there were some pretty bad, inexcusable possessions. You look at 266 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.759 the nineteen to three run, the last two point fifty 267 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.240 seven of the second quarter, and then the nineteen to 268 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:58.880 seven run the last three to eleven of the ballgames. 269 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.200 They're getting outscored thirty eight to ten there in what 270 00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:10.680 a little over six minutes of play. That's tough to overcome. 271 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:13.920 Quick time out, will come back, more Clippers talk. They 272 00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:16.240 lose a twenty two point lead and fall one, nineteen 273 00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:19.319 to one twelve to the Indiana Pacers. Looking for more 274 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:23.200 postgame quotes from the players and coach Lou after this one. 275 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:27.599 I'm out of maslind and you're listening to AMPI seventy 276 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:29.440 Ola scores the. 277 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:32.799 Clippers. 278 00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:36.720 You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball. Take us with you 279 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:39.480 wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app. 280 00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:42.400 There was a nineteen point turnaround in this ball game 281 00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:46.160 in less than three minutes late in the second quarter 282 00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:49.559 because the Clippers had six straight turnovers. Welcome back into 283 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:51.559 Clippers sock. I'm out a Maslin eight six six ninety 284 00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:53.720 eighty seven two five seventy eight six six ninety seven 285 00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:56.839 two five to seventy. My question Clipper Nation is are 286 00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:01.960 these things fixable and correctable? It looks like Bogie's coming in. Well, 287 00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:05.440 Don Bogdanovich, who's another ball handler who can create for himself. 288 00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:08.359 He can play on off ball. That's a big need 289 00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:10.839 for this team, especially because you make a trade like that, 290 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:14.440 so you're missing ball handlers and KPJ and Terrence Man. 291 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:16.359 He probably wouldn't have played much to night anyways. But 292 00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:20.039 one of the guys coming in from this trade, or 293 00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:21.759 the guy coming in from this trade, you know, one 294 00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:24.920 of them is somebody that can help in this area. 295 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:29.160 My question is are these things fixable and correctable with 296 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.359 this Clippers team? Is what's happening? Do they have it 297 00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:35.920 within them on this roster when Bogey is here to 298 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:43.279 fix it or these fatal flaws? Is this just a 299 00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:48.599 problem that they might not be able to overcome. That's worrisome. 300 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:52.200 Let's hear from Nick, who's leaving the game. Nick, you 301 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:53.920 got thirty seconds here on Clippers stock just so we 302 00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:55.400 can get everybody in. Nick, what's up? 303 00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:00.599 Hey? Thank you, Adam. I gotta tell you man, in 304 00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:04.079 my opinion, I have good news tonight. The good news, 305 00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:08.359 in my opinion is that championships are not given out 306 00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:12.119 at the beginning of February. Yes, we're struggling right now 307 00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:16.359 and we've not put together very many good defensive games 308 00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:19.960 in a row. However, there's still time to get it right, 309 00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:24.079 and if we start playing well in March, I think 310 00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:27.119 that we're gonna be fine. What do you think, Adam Nick? 311 00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:29.079 I appreciate the phone call. I mean, I agree with you. 312 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:33.200 I don't like overreacting too much. It's not so much 313 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.079 that the Clippers lost two games in a row, three 314 00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:38.279 games in a row. Now, it's the way they've been 315 00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:41.240 losing in this one flaw that's been going on consistently 316 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:44.599 all season long, which is the turnovers. I admit I 317 00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:46.519 felt like, you get Kawhi back and if he's playing 318 00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:48.880 thirty five minutes a night, and granted he's not there yet, 319 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.000 consistently he played almost thirty four tonight. I've said all along, 320 00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:55.240 Kawhi can fix this. Just having Kawhi out there is 321 00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:57.200 another ball handling. He brings the ball up a ton 322 00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:59.480 that will alleviate some of the burden on James Hard 323 00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:08.279 but tonight obviously goes against that. I just worry that 324 00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:13.319 this team has developed bad habits when it comes to 325 00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:17.880 these turnovers because they started pretty early in the season 326 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:22.799 they aren't stopping. Their defense has been so good throughout 327 00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:25.720 most of the year they've gotten away with it, but 328 00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:29.599 now the defense isn't playing as well. They give up 329 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:35.160 one hundred and nineteen points tonight. I'll check the defensive 330 00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:37.359 rating in a little bit to see if they're still 331 00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:40.200 second in the league. But over the last six games 332 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:45.519 coming into this one, they've been twenty first defensively. We'll 333 00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.680 take one more phone call before we break, Jose and Downey, 334 00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:52.720 you're on Clippers South without a maasam quickly, Jose, Adam. 335 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:54.839 I feel like to They said they were gonna play 336 00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:59.559 with grid, heart and focus, and where has that been 337 00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:00.599 that we? 338 00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:03.599 Did they have it when they were up twenty two? 339 00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:06.640 Jose tell me that, yeah they did. 340 00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:08.880 But then then when you're when the game is going bad, 341 00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:09.880 that's when it should show. 342 00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:10.359 Up the most. 343 00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:12.359 That's a great point, right to to. 344 00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:16.720 Calm everybody down. And I'm even surprised to hear you 345 00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:20.960 say about like they can't handle the double team and 346 00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:23.160 when the shooting at them on the half court, because 347 00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:25.000 a team with hard and you would think they'd be 348 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.920 able to do that. But I mean, one of the 349 00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:30.400 things that I saw highlighted that I really didn't like 350 00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:34.720 was that easy switch every time that Kawhi was on. 351 00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:40.200 I can't an Ebaka on seak and thank you and 352 00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:42.319 they would just let the switch happen easily. 353 00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:45.680 I get it. I get that part of it, Jose. 354 00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:48.640 But a lot of teams do that now, and it's 355 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:51.160 because the shooting. It's like, if you don't switch, you're 356 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:53.640 gonna end up leaving a guy open. But I go 357 00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:55.559 what you're saying. I think it's a really good point 358 00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:58.440 what Jose just said. There. Appreciate the phone call, Jose. 359 00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:03.440 It's like, Okay, when things got tight, when things got tough, 360 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.839 were the Clippers at their best? No, it looked like 361 00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:10.480 they were gonna pull through and win this game. Up 362 00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:13.200 five late, and then there's a nineteen to seven run 363 00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:17.160 that goes against him and more turnovers. They had regain 364 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:22.119 control of the ballgame after beating down double digits. I 365 00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:24.960 believe early in the fourth quarter, I want to say 366 00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:28.839 they were down let's see one fourteen to one oh five. 367 00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:34.279 They were down by nine. That was too late in 368 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:40.640 the fourth quarter, but up five, they were in control. 369 00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:43.480 It felt like that I thought the Clippers were gonna 370 00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:46.319 salvage this game. At the three thirty one mark. Derek 371 00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:50.799 Jones Junior, I think at a tip in it's one 372 00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:54.119 oh five to one hundred and Siakam hits a three. 373 00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:58.559 I was a big shot. Then there's the timeout. Then 374 00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:02.119 Norm either stepped out of bounds. Someonere calling it a 375 00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:04.119 block or at least on the game log, I thought 376 00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:05.759 he stepped out of bounds and that was a turnover. 377 00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:08.440 Haliburton hits a three. So now the Clippers are down 378 00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:10.359 one oh six to one oh five. They were just 379 00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:14.799 up by five, and then it beats the Zubats has 380 00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:17.920 a bad pass. I think looking for DJ Halliburton. Run out, 381 00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:22.200 easy bucket. Now they're down three. We'll take a quick 382 00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:24.640 time out. We'll come back. We'll close things out. Clippers 383 00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:26.599 led by twenty two and they lose this one, one 384 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:29.799 nineteen to one twelve, the day of the trade deadline 385 00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:32.839 to the Indiana Pacers. I'm out a Masland. This is 386 00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:34.119 a five seventy LA Sports. 387 00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:38.640 This is the LA Clippers Audio Network, Best fans in 388 00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:40.200 best arena in the entire sport. 389 00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:43.799 Take us with you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio ap. 390 00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:45.039 Back to Clippers basketball. 391 00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:48.759 Fourth loss in their last six games, six loss in 392 00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:51.680 their last ten. Now, in a contest where they were 393 00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:54.960 up by twenty two on the Indiana Pacers, they fall 394 00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:57.519 one nineteen to one twelve. Welcome back into Clippers stock. 395 00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:02.759 I'm at a masland. It's frustrating. Calibernation. I'm with you. 396 00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:08.599 I don't like what I'm seeing either. And yeah, I 397 00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:14.000 have some concerns about Kawhi. I'm not going to he's lost, 398 00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:18.440 he's done after thirteen games. I'm not doing that. I 399 00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:23.759 have some concerns. It could just be he's tired because 400 00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:28.519 he's only played thirteen games, so he could be getting 401 00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:34.599
