Speaker 1: The LA Clippers.
Speaker 2: The game is ended, gather round boys, time to recap.
Speaker 1: But the post game coverage is just getting started.
Speaker 3: The successes the failure.
Speaker 1: Let's discuss this is Clippers locker room breaking down today's
Speaker 1: action with the pre and post game voice of the Clippers.
Speaker 1: Here's a a moss leg.
Speaker 4: Hashtag. Come Back Clips. Your LA Clippers get their first
Speaker 4: victory into it Dome in dramatic fashion, just like they
Speaker 4: have over the years. They came back, this time down
Speaker 4: twenty six points in the first quarter to the San
Speaker 4: Antonio Spurs. They end up winning one thirteen to one
Speaker 4: four to christen their new home with a classic Clippers comeback.
Speaker 4: Welcome into your postgame show. I'm at a Moslins. We
Speaker 4: are up second half highlights coming up, postgame box score,
Speaker 4: but first we get back over to your radio voice
Speaker 4: of the Clippers, Carlo Jimenez. Well, Carlo, how about that
Speaker 4: five man unit KPJ, Chris Dunn, Amir Coffee, Nico Batoum
Speaker 4: and Aviza Zubas the highly criticized unit to start the
Speaker 4: fourth quarter against OKAC the other night. They win them
Speaker 4: this ballgame. They got them back in.
Speaker 5: This era of revenge tour for those guys today, Adam.
Speaker 5: They were so good on the offensive end. They kys chaos,
Speaker 5: they were locked in, they were excellent defensively. It was
Speaker 5: so fun to watch them go to work in this
Speaker 5: game and really put their foot on the gas.
Speaker 6: They changed the game.
Speaker 5: They changed the game a sixteen to two run, I
Speaker 5: believe in that second quarter. So good for this Clipper team, Adam,
Speaker 5: and and really shows that, Hey, while this team might
Speaker 5: have lost Norman Palace to the starting unit, they did
Speaker 5: not lose the punch off the bench. Those guys came
Speaker 5: with the energy in the spark today.
Speaker 4: Revenge from the five man unit, Revenge from Amir Coffee,
Speaker 4: who many wanted to see replaced with Jordan Miller. They
Speaker 4: don't have a shot in this one without a mere
Speaker 4: Coffee and those big three points shots in the second half.
Speaker 5: And he came off probably his toughest game of the
Speaker 5: season last time out, struggled with the score a little bit,
Speaker 5: and boy did he respond today.
Speaker 6: Five of six from three.
Speaker 5: He hit three huge threes in that third quarter, two
Speaker 5: big ones there in the fourth, goes eight for ten
Speaker 5: from the field, twenty one points. We mentioned a pregame,
Speaker 5: but the Clippers needed that Norman punch off the bench
Speaker 5: that they had last year and a mere coffee providing that.
Speaker 5: So far this season he has been excellent for them,
Speaker 5: shooting above forty five percent from three on the young year,
Speaker 5: and just won a performance by a guy who deserves it,
Speaker 5: a guy who's worked for it every single year he's
Speaker 5: been with his organization.
Speaker 4: And I couldn't be more proud also of Avitza Zubats
Speaker 4: who stuck with it. He was struggling early. I think
Speaker 4: he was four of eleven in the first half. He
Speaker 4: missed some gimmeis, he was being double teamed. He had
Speaker 4: his shot block maybe three times by Webinyama. How does
Speaker 4: the game end him dunking on Victor Wembinyama with an
Speaker 4: and one and at the charity stripe five of five
Speaker 4: after going one of five last game. He had been
Speaker 4: struggling there, Big Zoo stuck with it and he helped
Speaker 4: win this ball game.
Speaker 6: He really did. And it's all about what you mentioned.
Speaker 6: He stuck with it.
Speaker 5: When ben Yama had nine blocks today, he could have
Speaker 5: easily said this isn't working. The guy's blocking me every
Speaker 5: fourth time I shoot the ball. But the ability to
Speaker 5: stay with the interior presence on the offensive end keeps
Speaker 5: the rest of your offense so much more balanced, so
Speaker 5: much more versatile. And that's why of East Sewats had
Speaker 5: to be aggressive every single time he got the ball.
Speaker 5: Adam he finished with over ten offensive rebounds in this game.
Speaker 5: The Spurs as a team had twelve offensive rebounds. Big
Speaker 5: Zoo was excellent for them in this one thirteen boards,
Speaker 5: continuing to pace the NBA in rebounds. A game so good,
Speaker 5: so aggressive, and that is the Zubats. The Clippers need.
Speaker 5: An aggressive Zubots is a good Zubots.
Speaker 4: And as much as James Harden struggled early on a
Speaker 4: big five to zero run during a stretch where the
Speaker 4: Clippers needed it in the fourth quarter, including a four
Speaker 4: point play, I believe he missed the free throws. The
Speaker 4: Clippers miss what the opportunity for two four point plays
Speaker 4: in this one with miss free throws.
Speaker 6: They did well.
Speaker 4: It's all the same because the Clippers come through with
Speaker 4: the victory and James Harden found his offense when he
Speaker 4: needed it most. And for a team that had been
Speaker 4: struggling late in ballgames during crunch time, were they able
Speaker 4: to avoid a clutch time game that they lead by
Speaker 4: more than five in the last five minutes after coming
Speaker 4: back down twenty six.
Speaker 5: Remarkable, felt like a clutch game with the way it
Speaker 5: was played down the stretch. But yeah, the Clippers never
Speaker 5: allowed it to get closer than I believe seven in
Speaker 5: that final five minutes of this one, just holding, still
Speaker 5: not being phased. You talked about it when we were
Speaker 5: off the air, but and the Clippers fell down twenty six.
Speaker 6: Well, maybe this is how he turned things around.
Speaker 5: Maybe it takes a comeback like this to get your
Speaker 5: season on the right track. A group that's resilient, that
Speaker 5: fought together and now comes out with a victory. And
Speaker 5: I think all the credit in the world at him
Speaker 5: to Chris Dunn who played a fantastic twenty five minutes
Speaker 5: today and despite playing with five fouls, was able to
Speaker 5: close down the stretch. He brings energy to this team
Speaker 5: that they need in games like this, really changing the
Speaker 5: momentum of the ball game with his aggressiveness, with his activity,
Speaker 5: and with his approach on the defensive end.
Speaker 4: That lose ball he was able to get to and
Speaker 4: draw the foul on CP three was just emblematic of
Speaker 4: who Chris Done is. It's all hustle, heart, and also
Speaker 4: in that ribcage dog dog in him confirmed we got
Speaker 4: the X Rays. Chris Dunne was special down the stretch,
Speaker 4: not just with his offense and he hit some timely shots,
Speaker 4: but also those hustle plays including offensive rebounds.
Speaker 5: Yeah, big time offensive rebounds, a swing get into the
Speaker 5: teeth of Webbin Yama. Sometimes on the defensive end. He
Speaker 5: was excellent today. Norman Powell, I mean, we just continue
Speaker 5: to expect twenty point games out of him, but once
Speaker 5: again he goes for twenty three first time in his career.
Speaker 6: He's got six straight.
Speaker 5: Twenty point games and he's got a chance to do
Speaker 5: it again on Wednesday night. I thought he came up
Speaker 5: in big moments for this Clipper team. It was an
Speaker 5: all around excellent effort for a game that looks slow
Speaker 5: and sluggish and looked like was going to be one
Speaker 5: to forget after the opening twelve minutes. It's one to
Speaker 5: remember for this Clipper team. Their first win of the
Speaker 5: regular season here and into a dome that look to
Speaker 5: make it too straight on Wednesday when a certain player,
Speaker 5: a certain former friend now foe, comes to into a dome,
Speaker 5: Paul George will be in the building and well You're
Speaker 5: not gonna want to miss that one seven o'clock tip.
Speaker 4: Been a week of familiar faces in new places. SGA
Speaker 4: CP three now PG thirteen, coming back to Soakaw to
Speaker 4: face the Clippers for the first time in a Philadelphia
Speaker 4: seventy six uniform. Tip. Time for that one on Wednesday
Speaker 4: at seven. Well off your pregame show starting at six.
Speaker 4: The Clippers, it took them getting down twenty six to
Speaker 4: relocate their identity to get back to that scrappy build
Speaker 4: up that they've always had. This is the team that
Speaker 4: has had more twenty point comebacks over the last six
Speaker 4: seasons now than any other squad in the league. Maybe
Speaker 4: the Clippers found their identity tonight and they can hopefully
Speaker 4: build off of this. Wednesday Night's another big one. Carlo Jimenez,
Speaker 4: great call as always. We got our first nylon in
Speaker 4: we ready, we hear talk to you on Wednesday.
Speaker 6: Talk to you Wednesday at them Let's go.
Speaker 4: We'll hear that from Carlo Jimenez. Next, Clippers were down
Speaker 4: twenty six, left for dead. The backups plus Big Zoo
Speaker 4: fought back and then the Stars came in late and
Speaker 4: helped take them home. And how about a mere coffee.
Speaker 4: Brian Stemens says it all the time. Coffee is for closing.
Speaker 4: Poor Clippers post game coming up next right here on
Speaker 4: the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1: This is the LA Clippers Audio Network, Best.
Speaker 7: Fans in best arena in the entire sport.
Speaker 1: Take us with you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3: Back to Clippers basketball.
Speaker 4: Clippers down twenty six, just to come back with a
Speaker 4: thirty five point turnaround and win one thirteen to one
Speaker 4: oh four to get their first victory here and into
Speaker 4: it Dome Clipper Nation. I know you're feeling good after
Speaker 4: this one. That's how you, Chris and the new building.
Speaker 4: That's the type of victory this Clippers team has been
Speaker 4: known for over the years, and they got it backs
Speaker 4: up against the wall and it brought out the best
Speaker 4: in this Clippers squad once again. Welcome back in. I'm
Speaker 4: Ada Oslin. This is your Clippers postgame show. Coming up.
Speaker 4: We will have Clippers stock on AM five to seventy
Speaker 4: LA Sports eight six six nine eight seven two five
Speaker 4: seventy is the phone number if you'd like to get on.
Speaker 4: As mentioned, the Clippers were down by twenty six after
Speaker 4: the first quarter. It was forty to fourteen. The Clippers
Speaker 4: were historically bad. They made just four shots total in
Speaker 4: that first quarter. But then guess who brought him back
Speaker 4: from the deaths. It was the same crew that I've
Speaker 4: been talking about that has been playing well for them
Speaker 4: and had one bad start to a quarter against OKC.
Speaker 4: In that fourth that would be KPJ next to Chris Dunn,
Speaker 4: next to a mere Coffee next to Nico, buttoom next
Speaker 4: two Big Zoo. They went on a sixteen to two
Speaker 4: run to start that second quarter. The guys who were scrutinized.
Speaker 4: Coach Lou was scrutinized for that crew. I asked him
Speaker 4: pre game because I thought that was the move to
Speaker 4: make against OKACE. It had been working. It didn't work
Speaker 4: that one game, So do you go back to it? Well,
Speaker 4: he said, it's about feel, it's about flow, the game flow.
Speaker 4: The game was against them. He goes back to it,
Speaker 4: and they don't win this ball game. That crew might
Speaker 4: have gone a plus. I don't know thirty two. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna check the lineup data later. But at the half,
Speaker 4: the Clippers had trimmed into that lead. It was down
Speaker 4: to eight fifty six to forty eight in the third quarter,
Speaker 4: A mere coffee started to cook.
Speaker 5: Harden goes around a mere coffee stream going left, Brandon
Speaker 5: the switch. Harden drives by, jumps in the air, back
Speaker 5: down coffee straight away three, got it.
Speaker 6: I'm here coffee crop straight away, slobs underneath you box.
Speaker 8: You got the.
Speaker 5: Smaller Johnson on him, rips a past coffee right wing three,
Speaker 5: cashes it out. I'm here coffee right corner coffee.
Speaker 6: Another three bottoms back to back from.
Speaker 9: Bonus distance and the Clippers within four on an eight
Speaker 9: zero run.
Speaker 4: Clippers were down four after being down by as many
Speaker 4: as twenty six heading into the fourth quarter. But they
Speaker 4: know about dramatic comebacks when they get that close, when
Speaker 4: it's even they're leaving. In situations like this and down
Speaker 4: the stretch, they would knock down three after three after three,
Speaker 4: Carlo take it away.
Speaker 6: Norm straight away three.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 6: Norman Powell with this four to three.
Speaker 5: Of the game, copy left wing three.
Speaker 9: You betch comire Coffy's four to three of the game.
Speaker 6: Blippers can take a lead Norm.
Speaker 1: Left wing three for the lead on.
Speaker 4: The Clippers on a nine ozer run.
Speaker 9: The twenty six point lead for the Spurs is gone.
Speaker 6: Swings it don't root now holds the ball right here.
Speaker 6: Back to coffee left wing.
Speaker 9: Three Puttex snift of the game Fromire Harden swings it done,
Speaker 9: left wing three cash, it's raining it into it.
Speaker 6: The Clippers with eighteen.
Speaker 4: Threes talk about making waves. The Clippers were wet with it.
Speaker 4: From three. They ends up going nineteen of thirty seven
Speaker 4: from distance, that is fifty one percent shooting from three.
Speaker 4: After they came into this one just shooting thirty three percent.
Speaker 4: We wondered when they would progress to the mean a
Speaker 4: little bit and when the San Antonio Spurs, when they
Speaker 4: would struggle from distance, it would do them in. They
Speaker 4: were eleven of forty one, twenty seven percent from the outside.
Speaker 4: The Clippers were down twenty six here and into a dome,
Speaker 4: and that's how they get their first victory in this building.
Speaker 4: Clippers are victorious one thirteen, So one oh four coming
Speaker 4: up next your final box score right here on the
Speaker 4: Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network.

Speaker 3: Back to Clippers basketball.
Speaker 4: Clippers win one thirteen so one oh four and they
Speaker 4: come back down twenty six to get their first victory.
Speaker 4: Heard into its home, welcome back in I'm adam ouslind
Speaker 4: how bouts your Los Angeles Clippers and the comeback clips
Speaker 4: Rising from the dead, oh C the Undertaker GIF Clippers
Speaker 4: turn a game around. It's a thirty five point turnaround
Speaker 4: from down twenty six to winning by nine. Unreal Clippers
Speaker 4: in this one, of course, big buckets after big buckets
Speaker 4: from a mere coffee eight of ten, five of six
Speaker 4: from three, twenty one points. Chris Dunn not just the
Speaker 4: big buckets, the scrappy plays out there. They don't credit
Speaker 4: him with the offensive rebounds. I don't understand that he
Speaker 4: had deflections. He caused CP three to have an offensive foul.
Speaker 4: Kevin Porter Junior was solid one his minutes by fourteen.
Speaker 4: It was that five man unit that everybody criticized for
Speaker 4: starting the fourth quarter against OKC that won them this game.
Speaker 4: A mere big suit not given up finishes just six
Speaker 4: of seventeen, but seventeen and thirteen for as cis. He
Speaker 4: got them going from distance in the second half with
Speaker 4: some great dimes. When the double would come his way,
Speaker 4: he found the open shooter, beautiful basketball from Viza Zubots
Speaker 4: and he stuck with it. Wemby blocked him multiple times.
Speaker 4: He dunked on Wemby multiple times. You know what you're
Speaker 4: getting into with Victor wembin Yama. He had nine blocks.
Speaker 4: That's okay, that's what he does. He still only went
Speaker 4: nine of twenty two from the field, two of nine
Speaker 4: from three. And while we have a moment, let's pause
Speaker 4: ten seconds for station identification. Here on Los Angeles Clippers

Speaker 4: Game at follow Adam a adam Ousley was something born
Speaker 4: out of their first victory and into it Dome. As
Speaker 4: the Clippers were down twenty six to cent Antonio on
Speaker 4: the first quarter, is stormed back to win one thirteen.
Speaker 4: So one oh four, welcome into Clippers Talk about a
Speaker 4: Maslin eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy
Speaker 4: eight sixty six ninety eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 4: the phone number coming up. We will get to your
Speaker 4: phone calls. We'll hear from coach Lou post game. I
Speaker 4: hope he dunks on everyone like I've been doing about
Speaker 4: that five man lineup that you all thought was nuts,
Speaker 4: and it's what won them the ballgame in this one.
Speaker 4: The same five guys you didn't want to see on
Speaker 4: the floor to start the fourth quarter against ok See,
Speaker 4: even though they had already won them two games against
Speaker 4: Golden State, against It's Denver, he put them in when
Speaker 4: the going got tough and they were down forty to fourteen,
Speaker 4: and what did they do? Go on a sixteen to
Speaker 4: two run to get them right back into this ball
Speaker 4: game and it was just an eight point lead for
Speaker 4: San Antonio heading into the second half. How about coach lose?
Speaker 4: He gonna get any credit tonight. I've been giving them credit.
Speaker 4: I think his coaching has been phenomenal so far this season.
Speaker 4: The talent disadvantage has hurt them at times, the coaching
Speaker 4: has not. And Big Zoo believing in him and sticking
Speaker 4: with him even while Wemby was getting some blocks, even
Speaker 4: while beats A Zubos I think started three for eleven
Speaker 4: from the floor, he stayed with it, stayed confidence, stayed aggressive.
Speaker 4: There's no other path you can take anymore. You need
Speaker 4: Big Zoo. You'a aren't winning without him. Doesn't mean if
Speaker 4: you're playing thirty minutes you're always going to win, but
Speaker 4: you aren't going to win if you don't give Big
Speaker 4: Zoo the basketball and stick with them. Just a tremendous
Speaker 4: performance from a Viza Zubas, with the resiliency from him
Speaker 4: that I think may have permeated throughout the team. It
Speaker 4: can be deflating Victor wenbin Yama's there. You're seeing ghosts
Speaker 4: whether or not he's blocking the shots, you're missing shots
Speaker 4: because he's already blocked one. He covers half the court.
Speaker 4: He had nine blocks maybe three against Zubas, and he
Speaker 4: kept coming and had an and one dunk on Wemby
Speaker 4: at the end, he dunked on him twice. Big Zoo's soft.
Speaker 4: What I don't want to hear any of that. Big
Speaker 4: Zoos showed the heart of a lion tonight. What a comeback.
Speaker 4: Third largest regular season comeback in franchise history. Down thirty
Speaker 4: five against the Wizards a couple of years ago. That's
Speaker 4: the second biggest comeback in NBA history in the regular season.
Speaker 4: I think the dazz happened at thirty six. They come
Speaker 4: back down twenty eight, fresh off of trading Tobias Harris
Speaker 4: in Boston back in what twenty nineteen, langr shamit big game,
Speaker 4: Big Zoo, big game, and then tonight down twenty six
Speaker 4: to Christen into it. Done with this first win ever?
Speaker 4: Here buy your Los Angeles Clippers in style, in classic
Speaker 4: Clippers style, a big comeback. That's how you can find yourself,
Speaker 4: relocate your identity, and remember the type of squad you
Speaker 4: have been over the years, no matter who was available. Hey,
Speaker 4: kawhiin here right now. We've seen that before in the past.
Speaker 4: Paul George ain't here, He's in Philly. He'll be back
Speaker 4: here on Wednesday. We've seen him out a bunch two.
Speaker 4: This Clippers team has a mentality to not give into that,
Speaker 4: and we saw it again tonight. Now can they build
Speaker 4: off of this Philly coming in no embiid. I'll update
Speaker 4: you on what happened in Paul George's return tonight and
Speaker 4: against the Phoenix Suns. But this was incredible. A mere
Speaker 4: coffee the guy that everybody said this summer after summer League.
Speaker 4: You know I've said it at times too. If Jordan
Speaker 4: Miller's taking minutes from someone. It's probably a mere I
Speaker 4: don't think so. Amir said, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: I'm too valuable to what this team needs now. A
Speaker 4: mere coffee with five threes on five of six shooting
Speaker 4: from three in the second half. A mere coffee with
Speaker 4: the big steel and slam at the end to put
Speaker 4: the icing on this one. A mere coffee with great
Speaker 4: defense and that five man lineup. I told you it
Speaker 4: was doing work. I told you it was an outlier.
Speaker 4: What happened against ok see and everybody? What are you
Speaker 4: getting non coach lou for that? Him being asked, how
Speaker 4: can you not stagger James Harden and Norman Powell at
Speaker 4: all times? Guess what? The lineup that got him back
Speaker 4: in this one didn't have Norm didn't have James Harden.
Speaker 4: They still came through in the fourth. But to get
Speaker 4: back into this ball game, they did it with backups
Speaker 4: and big Zoo. Just absolute grit and determination by this
Speaker 4: Clippers team to night to get their first ever victory,
Speaker 4: heart into it dum when they were da dead on
Speaker 4: a rival to start and had one of the worst
Speaker 4: first quarters I had seen by this ball club and
Speaker 4: we've seen some bad ones. I thought we were heading
Speaker 4: towards a fifty one point loss, like against Dallas to
Speaker 4: start off the twenty twenty twenty twenty one year. It
Speaker 4: looked that bad, But I said off air, this may
Speaker 4: be the perfect position for the Clippers to be in
Speaker 4: because this is when they find themselves. And if they
Speaker 4: come back and win this game, they may start rolling.
Speaker 4: They may realize the type of team that they have
Speaker 4: been can be and will be a team that does
Speaker 4: not give in, does not quit. Nobody's had more twenty
Speaker 4: point comebacks the last six seasons than this squad. Nobody
Speaker 4: couldn't be more proud of this group. Coach lou Chris
Speaker 4: Donn big play after big play, but Toom had his moments.
Speaker 4: KPJ had his moments. I mean a mere coffee though
Speaker 4: a plus thirty four in a game they were down
Speaker 4: thirty six. I want to see that five man lineup data.
Speaker 4: I'll get it for you in a little bit, but
Speaker 4: I just want to tip my cap to this squad
Speaker 4: for not giving in and not laying down when could have.
Speaker 4: I had a ton of tweets coming my way saying,
Speaker 4: OKAYC is getting the first pick in the draft. They're
Speaker 4: capturing the flag. That's all I heard in the first quarter.
Speaker 4: People clowning the Clippers.
Speaker 6: Hell.
Speaker 4: I said, it was an embarrassing first quarter.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 4: It wasn't just offense. Their defense was lifeless too. They
Speaker 4: were not good enough there. They were getting beat in
Speaker 4: the non wemby minutes. This team didn't have it. It
Speaker 4: felt like a matinee start. No more of those, please,
Speaker 4: And for the most part, they had been starting quarters
Speaker 4: well so far this season. It had been the second
Speaker 4: halfs that had doomed them. It completely turns around and
Speaker 4: they actually execute down the stretch in this one beautifully
Speaker 4: to perfection. I can't tell you enough about some of
Speaker 4: the passes Big Zoo made after doubles coming late in
Speaker 4: the third when that same five man lineup KPJ, Chris Dunn,
Speaker 4: a mere coffee, Niko Batooma, Viza Zubas was out there
Speaker 4: and they went a plus six to cut a ten
Speaker 4: point lead to four. Heading into the fourth of Viza
Speaker 4: Zubas found a cutting KPJ for a dunk, then found
Speaker 4: a mere coffee to get him going from three out
Speaker 4: of a double. When the doubles came, he started to
Speaker 4: find the open man. He banked a shot in end
Speaker 4: of the third quarter over like a triple team of
Speaker 4: Vitza Zubas, after he had already been blocked multiple times.
Speaker 4: It could have been easy to curl up in a
Speaker 4: shell and say, you know, it's not my night. They're
Speaker 4: packing the pain. Wemby's there, No, he kept coming, he
Speaker 4: kept battling. That's what they need from him, and what
Speaker 4: he needs is the basketball from his teammates and to
Speaker 4: have that faith in him. It's eighty six eighty two
Speaker 4: heading into the fourth in the past from Zoo with
Speaker 4: point six seconds left. A KPJ was a well executed
Speaker 4: buzzer beater that almost went right. At the end of
Speaker 4: the third. With KPJ putting up that three, you could
Speaker 4: see it the execution was coming. But then Mamu, I
Speaker 4: think that's his nickname. I'm not gonna even attempt to pronounce.
Speaker 2: It his name.
Speaker 4: Hit a three to start the fourth, so they're down seven.
Speaker 4: Norm has a layup going to his right. KPJ had
Speaker 4: a bad one legged fade away done missed a floater.
Speaker 4: Wemby had a really bad lob that turned into a
Speaker 4: Norm pal steel. But then a Norm three pointer made
Speaker 4: it ninety one to eighty seven, back down by four
Speaker 4: early fourth quarter. Then they get a shot clock violation
Speaker 4: on San Antonio, but Wemby blocks a mirror on a
Speaker 4: fade away I can't believe I can believe it, but
Speaker 4: he got to his fade away shot, and I don't
Speaker 4: know how he did it. Wemby is the eighth wonder
Speaker 4: of the world. If it's not into it, Dume. But
Speaker 4: then the Clippers get a stop KPJ with a really
Speaker 4: bad pass to It beats the Zubos underneath the basket,
Speaker 4: a fastball turnover, but Norm got it right back timeout.
Speaker 4: Coach Lou It's still ninety one to eighty seven, but
Speaker 4: a Wemby steal on Norm right out of the timeout.
Speaker 4: But then good defense Zoo on CP three created a steal.
Speaker 4: He had multiple possessions where Chris Paul tried to take
Speaker 4: him out to deep water and it beats the Zubos
Speaker 4: locked him up. He got zero separation, a mere three
Speaker 4: one point game. Another stop Norm three Clippers up to
Speaker 4: ninety three to ninety one. We get the nylon call
Speaker 4: from Carlo Jimenez and they never looked back travel on
Speaker 4: CP three right afterwards out of a timeout. I believe
Speaker 4: Norm lay up then blocked by Wemby just an insane
Speaker 4: chase down block. I can't you think he's not there,
Speaker 4: You think you've gotten away from Wemby. There's just no escape.
Speaker 4: He's just following you like pan Shadow. It is unbelievable
Speaker 4: because you can't shake him. You can't. Wemby then fouled,
Speaker 4: knocked down some free throws, I mean even a shooting
Speaker 4: stroke of the charity stripe. It's like, I don't even
Speaker 4: know what to say. Does any big man have an
Speaker 4: excuse anymore? When Wenby is this good at the charity
Speaker 4: stripe of missing free throws, this is just next level.
Speaker 4: Jay wants that Carl tart zubat segment. Now, you can't
Speaker 4: shake Wemby. He is everywhere Defensively, I told you a pregame.
Speaker 4: They're nineteen points better per one hundred possessions on the
Speaker 4: defensive end. The San Antonio Spurs when Wenby is on
Speaker 4: versus off, the court comes back in. It's a tie
Speaker 4: game at ninety three. Your lineup now is Harden done?
Speaker 4: Amir Zuo Powell last six forty five a mere three pointer.
Speaker 4: His fifth Clippers have their largest lead Wemby misses Harden
Speaker 4: kickout done three zoo defense on Wemby. He had a
Speaker 4: remarkable possession where Wemby was short on a shot from
Speaker 4: about ten feet out and then's big Zuo dunked on
Speaker 4: Victor Wembin Yama and got the and one defense to
Speaker 4: offense one individual doing this just a hell of a game.
Speaker 4: By beats a zooboss, putting haters in a body bag.
Speaker 4: I can't believe some of the stuff he had to
Speaker 4: deal with, with the amount of guys who were fronting
Speaker 4: him trying to stop him from getting the basketball, then
Speaker 4: double team's, triple teams or just Victor woman y'ama waiting
Speaker 4: stick with it. That was the key, that was everything
Speaker 4: for this team. And by the time he got the
Speaker 4: and one where he went five of five from the
Speaker 4: charity stripe after going one of five last time out,
Speaker 4: the Clippers are all of a sudden up eight. It's
Speaker 4: one on one ninety three. They started the quarter down four,
Speaker 4: twelve point turnaround less than seven minutes in just incredible basketball.
Speaker 4: You want to talk about fast and furious, like comeback
Speaker 4: this Clippers team. Harden then has the four point play
Speaker 4: but missed the free throw. Harden has a step back,
Speaker 4: so a five to zero run generated by James Harden.
Speaker 4: For those trying to hate Wemby hits a three one
Speaker 4: oh seven to ninety eight. They're not quite out of
Speaker 4: the woods yet. There's too much time left. There would
Speaker 4: be a bad possession. Zoo lost the ball, but then
Speaker 4: the effort by Chris Dunn to get it back to
Speaker 4: the Clippers, it would not amount to a bucket. Chris
Speaker 4: Dunn would end up missing a floater eventually, but he
Speaker 4: got it back off diving for the basketball where CP
Speaker 4: three had an offensive foul. Awesome, they're both scrambling for it.
Speaker 4: Foul on CP three, Chris Dunn out working dudes and
Speaker 4: then late, I love the move. About a minute left,
Speaker 4: Zubos was cassed. You need more switchability to stop threes
Speaker 4: from going down. Because san Antonio is down seven, bring
Speaker 4: in Nico more switching. CP three misses the three, Dune
Speaker 4: gets fouled, goes to the law and AMR has the
Speaker 4: steal and dunk late to put this one away. Poetic
Speaker 4: one twelve one oh two final score one thirteen one
Speaker 4: oh four. Clippers complete the twenty six point turnaround. We'll
Speaker 4: get your phone calls coming back eight six six nine,
Speaker 4: eight seven two five seventy eight sixty six nine eighty

Speaker 4: here at Into It Dome. Welcome back into your Clippers
Speaker 4: postgame show. I'm at a miles Land taking you till
Speaker 4: eleven o'clock Pacific time. If you're on the chat side
Speaker 4: at Clippers Talk on the YouTube, appreciate you. Yeah. Coach
Speaker 4: Lou is a top three coach in the league. Guys,
Speaker 4: every year he gets voted the best in game adjuster
Speaker 4: by his peers. Other people who coach, people in the
Speaker 4: front office, you think you know more than them. He
Speaker 4: had some masterful rotations in this one, including not giving
Speaker 4: in to the angry mob about his five man lineup
Speaker 4: that had been good but wasn't in one stint last
Speaker 4: game against ok See to start the fourth quarter to
Speaker 4: coach Lou panic and go away from it tonight. No,
Speaker 4: he didn't go away from it. That lineup won them
Speaker 4: the damn game. That's coaching, that's sticking to your gut
Speaker 4: and the analytics. I told you that lineup was good
Speaker 4: and had been and victor Woman Yama still almost had
Speaker 4: a quadruple double. My god, Clippers would stand it and
Speaker 4: get the victory. Oh, this was a fun one Cliper
Speaker 4: Nation first ever here at into a dome. Let's go
Speaker 4: the phones, man, we got tagous and Walnut Tagous, you're
Speaker 4: on clippers, stop with out of Maazon.
Speaker 8: He ay Adam Man. What a There was no other
Speaker 8: better way than having a comeback clips victory at our
Speaker 8: first victory into a dome. You know sometimes I you know,
Speaker 8: I'm more nervous when we get a big lead and
Speaker 8: when we're down, I just have that feeling that we're
Speaker 8: gonna come back and win. And it happened again. You
Speaker 8: know when we were down I think seven or eight
Speaker 8: at halftime, and then the third quarter, Norm hit that
Speaker 8: three pointer and it's got fouled and we cut it
Speaker 8: to three and I was like, here we go. We're
Speaker 8: gonna take it home. And then within the blink of
Speaker 8: an eye, the Spurs pushed it back to fourteen. Yep,
Speaker 8: and I was a little I'm sorry now.
Speaker 4: Keep going, Tajus, I'm agreeing with you. That was a
Speaker 4: big moment.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And for a second, I'm like, man, maybe our
Speaker 8: comeback is going to fall a little bit short. But
Speaker 8: we kept grinding, kept grinding, and what happened in the
Speaker 8: first quarter as opposed to the previous games. We limited
Speaker 8: our turnovers quite a bit and we got real good
Speaker 8: shots from three, all a mere coffee. Most of his
Speaker 8: threes were wide open. Norman Powell had his threes within
Speaker 8: the offense, within the sets, and even Chris Done at
Speaker 8: the end he had a wide open three that he
Speaker 8: connected on and that was I think the offense. And
Speaker 8: it went much smoother today than the previous games, which
Speaker 8: if we didn't and we had all those turnovers, I
Speaker 8: don't know if we complete the comeback. But man just
Speaker 8: really happy that we got the victory. Clipp Our Nation
Speaker 8: has been wanting it, and nobody deserves it more than
Speaker 8: Steve Bomber.
Speaker 4: I love that. I love that Tajus and Walnutt pointing
Speaker 4: out that nobody deserves us more than Seve bomb first
Speaker 4: ever victory. Hear it into a dome. This one is
Speaker 4: for Steve. He built this palace, He came up with
Speaker 4: these innovative ideas. The wall, everybody there was fantastic tonight.
Speaker 4: The place was electric. It is almost like a basketball
Speaker 4: theme park, a cathedral, and now it has a Clippers
Speaker 4: w here and the type of w we're used to
Speaker 4: seeing from this ball club, these gritty Clippers wins, these
Speaker 4: comeback clips wins. Again, if you didn't hear it earlier,
Speaker 4: since the ninety seven to ninety eight season, this is
Speaker 4: the third biggest regular season comeback in franchise history, fourth
Speaker 4: biggest total No. Fifth Because they've had a playoff come
Speaker 4: back down twenty seven and a playoff come back down
Speaker 4: thirty one. The resolve is special. Ray said it in
Speaker 4: the chat, thank you, Steve. The wall was chanting, Balmer,
Speaker 4: give him the damn game ball. I don't know, I know.
Speaker 4: There's some postgame audio Katie Newton has back there, including
Speaker 4: a short clip of Vitza Zubas in the locker room
Speaker 4: after their first win. Okay, let's hear from that right now.
Speaker 4: A little bit of a flair of a dramatic get us.
Speaker 1: That's how we do it.
Speaker 4: We can we can't do it easily.
Speaker 1: We always gotta fight back.
Speaker 3: It always gotta be a dramatic but win, its a win.
Speaker 4: That's how we do it. That's a Clippers win. Not
Speaker 4: gonna be easy. Gotta fight back. Big Zeus said it
Speaker 4: all there. This is just a microcosm of what this
Speaker 4: team has been about. This is what they do. They're
Speaker 4: made for when they're backs against the wall. I mean,
Speaker 4: they've had a twenty five point comeback also to get
Speaker 4: themselves to the Western Conference Finals in the playoffs. I
Speaker 4: think we remember that one game six Utah Derek Jones
Speaker 4: Junior did have a scary fall going up against Wemby
Speaker 4: for a layup where he was holding his shoulder. I
Speaker 4: don't have anything on that yet. Fifty percent shooting from three,
Speaker 4: I mean the numbers finally went back in their favor.
Speaker 4: They were shooting thirty three percent from three on the season.
Speaker 4: And finally James Harden goes three of six from the
Speaker 4: outside when he had been shooting just over twenty percent
Speaker 4: from three on the year. Are the legs starting to
Speaker 4: come around? I don't know. He still had a rough
Speaker 4: twenty five minutes, but the last six were good. Real
Speaker 4: nice hashtag comeback clips. Chemo said, he sat in the
Speaker 4: wall tonight. It was awesome. My normal seats are an
Speaker 4: M one, but wanted to experience it. That's great, man, Thanks,
Speaker 4: Steve Balmer Rock said, when when Terrence Man in that
Speaker 4: conversation is going on right now? Hey, guys, I'm with you.
Speaker 4: If Terrence Man is not gonna shoot the basketball. We
Speaker 4: got problems and he may get pulled from the starting
Speaker 4: lineup at some point. I get it. I thought he
Speaker 4: had some good moments in this game, but still saw
Speaker 4: too much of the same from team ann regarding not
Speaker 4: looking for his offense enough. Now he did have a
Speaker 4: three to start it, he had a reverse layup. He
Speaker 4: had a tough fall also early on where I just
Speaker 4: felt like Terrence Man wasn't going to the basket with
Speaker 4: the intent to score, but with the intent to draw
Speaker 4: the foul on Wemby instead, he fell sideways. Didn't get
Speaker 4: to go like this. Look, I want to go over
Speaker 4: the second quarter, because that's when the game truly changed.
Speaker 4: They were down twenty six. Zoo hook shot immediately a
Speaker 4: mere dunkin transition, KPJ fadeaway, KPJ step back, eight oh run.
Speaker 4: They had four makes in about the first two minutes
Speaker 4: of the second quarter, when they had four makes oh
Speaker 4: of the first quarter. Then Wemby had a dunk driving
Speaker 4: faster beats the Zubats after Zubas fell for a pump
Speaker 4: fake on a three pointer, and then you see a
Speaker 4: seven to three guy just go around to him like
Speaker 4: he's a guard. It's just Zubos kind of shrugged afterwards,
Speaker 4: like what are you gonna do? Chris Dunbucket, He was
Speaker 4: really good in that second quarter, guys, but toom three
Speaker 4: Clippers are all of a sudden down fifteen done three.
Speaker 4: Then Zoom missed multiple shots over Wemby. He had I
Speaker 4: want to say, three offensive rebounds tip shots that didn't go.
Speaker 4: But then he finally got one as a ten point game.
Speaker 4: That is what I'm talking about, Big Zoo not giving
Speaker 4: in just because it's Wemby. Stay with it. That was
Speaker 4: a big moment, I think, honestly in his career, because
Speaker 4: there have been too many times where Vitazubots is having
Speaker 4: a bad game to start, he doesn't turn around. This
Speaker 4: time he did knock down his free throws. Norm comes
Speaker 4: back in because remember that was the crew that eight
Speaker 4: into the lead and god to ten. The Chris done
Speaker 4: kpj Emir Coffee, Niko Batoum, Big Zoo crew turned the
Speaker 4: game around, and I hope Coach Lou lets everybody know
Speaker 4: that he went back to the lineup. I asked him
Speaker 4: about a pregame. I knew the lineup was working and
Speaker 4: he was taking far too much grief for once didn't
Speaker 4: it didn't work to start the fourth quarter against Okay
Speaker 4: see Zoo had the dunk on wemby then to end
Speaker 4: the second quarter, and then a norm three down eight
Speaker 4: heading into the third that second quarter with special two guys,
Speaker 4: we will take a quick time out. We'll come back.
Speaker 4: Get your phone calls. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven
Speaker 4: two five seventy eight six six ninety seven two five seventy.
Speaker 4: I'm fired up tonight. I am. This is the Clippers
Speaker 4: team we have come to love. When everything's going against them,
Speaker 4: when it felt like they were about to get run
Speaker 4: by fifty in their darkest hour, we will not go
Speaker 4: quietly into the night. I don't think anybody said that.
Speaker 4: Not quite July. Clippers do come back down twenty six.
Speaker 4: They win with a final score of one thirteen to
Speaker 4: one oh four in their first ever win. Hear it
Speaker 4: into a god bless Steve Boehmer, Love you all, Clipper Nation.

Speaker 4: Live with your Clippers postgame show Clippers Talk. You're on
Speaker 4: m five to seventy LA Sports and at Clippers Talk
Speaker 4: on the YouTube side. Join the show right now. You
Speaker 4: hear the music that means we got them. Will Updyke
Speaker 4: is in the house. He only shows up for wins,
Speaker 4: and none better than this one so far this season
Speaker 4: was something born out of this victory.
Speaker 11: Will Updike oh Man Do I hope though? Uh?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 11: Incredible game. Biggest takeaway A coffee was incredible. Great bench
Speaker 11: Ron Harden able to turn it around a little bit
Speaker 11: after a super rough start, and Zoo continues to do
Speaker 11: Zoo things despite having what most his least efficient game
Speaker 11: in the season thus far.
Speaker 4: I said at the half, I love the game from
Speaker 4: a beats to Zoo Bots. Even when we started off
Speaker 4: I think eleven or four of eleven because the aggressiveness
Speaker 4: was still there. He wasn't being deterred by the fact
Speaker 4: that Wenby had blocked him a couple of times, he
Speaker 4: kept coming. I mean he had a hook shot over
Speaker 4: the double team in the second half, might have been
Speaker 4: a triple team. And then he dunked on Wemby multiple
Speaker 4: times in the game. Like just stay confident, and the
Speaker 4: team was confident in him too. I couldn't be more
Speaker 4: proud of Big Zoo animeir coffee.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, agree, one hundred percent. And Norm Powell continues
Speaker 11: to crush it. But yeah, big Zoo U man. He
Speaker 11: he just continues to impress when given the opportunity, and
Speaker 11: he was absolutely needed against Wemby, who was a black
Speaker 11: hole down low, real problem for the Clippers. You mentioned
Speaker 11: him and blocked a couple of times by Wemby, he
Speaker 11: was not the only one. Wemby ended with nine blocks
Speaker 11: or something unreal. Always a triple double with block.
Speaker 4: Also quadruple double, right, Like this guy, this is like
Speaker 4: David Robinson achem Elijahan type stuff, like some of those
Speaker 4: blocks on Norman Powell where you think you're safe, where
Speaker 4: you think you've got enough distance between you, and he
Speaker 4: makes up ground like that because he's just he's slender man.
Speaker 4: He knew it. Like his first Halloween in the NBA,
Speaker 4: came dressed up as that it's it's gotta be haunting
Speaker 4: out there for guys to have to deal with Wemby
Speaker 4: like that. But as much as a lot of this
Speaker 4: was yes, hot shooting to get them back into it,
Speaker 4: like there's a mentality there, like you could have given
Speaker 4: in down twenty six, and we saw that same Clipper
Speaker 4: spirit that we have seen over the years, where they
Speaker 4: have these dramatic comebacks and it's just the way they're built,
Speaker 4: it's just what they do. They don't give in.
Speaker 11: Well, and I think that's like what's been different or
Speaker 11: frustrating about this year, Like what we came accustomed to
Speaker 11: was sort of like the slow starts, right and then
Speaker 11: the team being able to sort of turn it on
Speaker 11: in the back half. And in this season so far,
Speaker 11: we've actually come out to a lot of really strong starts.
Speaker 11: We've seen some pretty sizable leads against against difficult teams,
Speaker 11: but they've struggled to execute down stretch and this one
Speaker 11: coming back from a major deficit and just being able
Speaker 11: to get not only a win, not only eke out
Speaker 11: a win, but a fairly convincing win in the final
Speaker 11: minutes of this game off of a run that was
Speaker 11: kickstarted with a believe a coffee three to cut this
Speaker 11: thing down to one. It was just incredible to see.
Speaker 11: And I talked about this a little bit with Charles
Speaker 11: in the post game. But like this team has a
Speaker 11: lot of time to figure stuff out in the clutch,
Speaker 11: right Like they are going to have a a whole
Speaker 11: lot of times.
Speaker 4: Can you poy this out before anyone this season? Will
Speaker 4: with that this out before anyone this season, before the
Speaker 4: Clipper said We're gonna be in a lot of close games,
Speaker 4: you were.
Speaker 11: Saying it, yeah, oh yeah, I mean, like it's just
Speaker 11: the way that they're built right now. Like things could change,
Speaker 11: and they could they could be more handedly winning games
Speaker 11: and go on a little bit of a run with
Speaker 11: the return of Qilanders, But as currently constructed, like it
Speaker 11: takes this team executing at a high defensive level. We need,
Speaker 11: you know, a baseline of performance from all of the starters,
Speaker 11: which we didn't quite get across the board tonight. Terence Man,
Speaker 11: Dereck Jones Jr. Not their greatest outings, but still and
Speaker 11: then we still need like one guy from the bench
Speaker 11: to to like to come through, uh In sort of
Speaker 11: a big way. Uh, and you know this time he
Speaker 11: was a mere coffee. But it's this team has always
Speaker 11: embraced sort of a next man up sort of mentality.
Speaker 11: So it's it's it's nothing new, uh, but it is
Speaker 11: just one of those things that you're gonna have to
Speaker 11: keep going.
Speaker 1: And this was also a.
Speaker 11: Bit of an anomaly because as good as the clip
Speaker 11: was a then rebounding, this was a team that they
Speaker 11: did not have an advantage again, and that is one
Speaker 11: of those things where this could have turned into a
Speaker 11: very ugly loss. Because the Clippers improved rebounding with a
Speaker 11: Vita Zu being i believe the leading rebounder in the
Speaker 11: NBA right now, had kept them in a lot of games.
Speaker 11: It's able to mitigate some of their issues, certainly get
Speaker 11: them extra opportunities on the offensive end, and help clean
Speaker 11: things up on the defensive end. So when that when
Speaker 11: that margin also gets slimmed down, things are going to
Speaker 11: get a little tricky. But I like the composure in
Speaker 11: this one to be able to pull through.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm surprised so far this season just how
Speaker 4: good they've been rebounding wise, rebounding percentage, they've been top
Speaker 4: five so far A Viza Zubots did have ten offensive rebounds.
Speaker 4: Of course a lot of those were off his own
Speaker 4: misshots in this game, but I'm fine with that. It's
Speaker 4: not going to be perfect all the time. You gotta battle,
Speaker 4: you got to go through it. I mean the way
Speaker 4: they were packing the pain against him with what OKC
Speaker 4: did the other night, and they couldn't even make a
Speaker 4: post entry to a Vita Zuba to get him the
Speaker 4: ball when guys like Alex Ruzzo were on him. I
Speaker 4: will take a game like tonight because san Antonio has
Speaker 4: some beef. They got some guys guarding the moat, and
Speaker 4: it's not just Victor Wemenyama, So he was either getting
Speaker 4: doubled or Victor women Yama single covers with guys shading
Speaker 4: over like and he just played through it the entire time,
Speaker 4: didn't get too overly frustrated when he got off to
Speaker 4: a bad start. Somebody though that people are talking about
Speaker 4: in this one. You brought him up for a second
Speaker 4: with Terrence Man. They are calling for him to be
Speaker 4: out of the starting lineup, and you know what, I
Speaker 4: can't keep defending it if he's gonna turn down shots.
Speaker 4: Like last game, there was a moment where Vitzu Zubats
Speaker 4: told him to shoot the basketball after he wouldn't shoot
Speaker 4: it on possession. It's there are multiple times where he's
Speaker 4: not looking at the rim. I was watching him today
Speaker 4: and some of that maybe because a Wemby, but it's
Speaker 4: been happening throughout the seven games so far. I don't
Speaker 4: know where you're at with this. Obviously they're three and four.
Speaker 4: Do you want to make wholesale changes? Do you want
Speaker 4: to make a move that big to take out Terrence Man?
Speaker 4: Is that really gonna help his confidence? But on the
Speaker 4: other they gotta win games, So I kind of get
Speaker 4: it if he's not gonna take shots will.
Speaker 11: I mean, I see both arguments, Like like, on one hand,
Speaker 11: like the margins are incredibly slim for this team, you know,
Speaker 11: Like I just said, we got to get baseline performance
Speaker 11: out of the starting five at the very least, and
Speaker 11: we got to have an outlier bench performance. So I
Speaker 11: don't think that Terrence Van is necessarily actively losing enough
Speaker 11: games right now. I do think that if you're calling
Speaker 11: for Terrence Man to be removed from the starting lineup,
Speaker 11: I hear you. I would say, look at the minutes
Speaker 11: breakdowns and look at the way the rotations have been
Speaker 11: running and tonight, like, how is it necessarily any different
Speaker 11: if he is the starter or he's not the starter
Speaker 11: when you look at how those minutes actually broke down,
Speaker 11: and I think if you look at the closing line,
Speaker 11: that's across the entirety of this season, things have leaned
Speaker 11: a little bit more towards other players who are more
Speaker 11: willing to take shots or who have a hot hand,
Speaker 11: and Tyler was keeping them on the floor.
Speaker 1: So that is the thing.
Speaker 11: I totally understand both sides of the argument. At three
Speaker 11: and four, I still don't know, like there's still so
Speaker 11: many kind of new moving pieces within this system. And
Speaker 11: I also, I guess I just conceptually, I know we
Speaker 11: don't do full five out changes, but conceptually, I guess
Speaker 11: I do have issues in removing Coffee from some of
Speaker 11: those bench minutes because he is needed in those. So like, again,
Speaker 11: you could still, you know, you could insert him in
Speaker 11: the starting lineup and switch the minutes rotations that way.
Speaker 11: But I would say for anybody who's like really concerned
Speaker 11: about Terrence Mann remaining in the starting lineup despite some
Speaker 11: of his hesitancy to shoot, I would go ahead and
Speaker 11: stress you to look at some of those some of
Speaker 11: those rotations, because clearly when it's not working Ty, it's
Speaker 11: not like tylu is giving giving Terrence a whole lot
Speaker 11: of slack, like he's he's not in He's not in
Speaker 11: closing lineups for the most part.
Speaker 4: Yeah, outside of I think two games he hasn't been
Speaker 4: in closing lineup. So maybe both were against Phoenix where
Speaker 4: he's pretty good against Devin Booker. So it makes a
Speaker 4: lot of sense. But I like what you're saying too.
Speaker 4: I think we get too hung up on starters and bench.
Speaker 4: If Chris Done still getting more minutes than him, if
Speaker 4: a mere coffee is still getting more minutes than him,
Speaker 4: what does it matter? How much is it really hurting them?
Speaker 4: Because outside of tonight, believe it or not, the starters
Speaker 4: have been very good in the first eight minutes of games.
Speaker 4: Third quarters they hadn't been. Brian Stemen brought this up pregame.
Speaker 4: I brought up something that Coach Lou because I wanted
Speaker 4: to get his back on this because I've been talking
Speaker 4: about it the last twenty four hours when so many
Speaker 4: people were bringing out the torches and pitchforks for Coach
Speaker 4: Lou with that five man Labs to start the fourth
Speaker 4: quarter against OKCE okay, so he didn't have SGA out there,
Speaker 4: and he went with the same five man lineup that
Speaker 4: had been really good and won them two games against
Speaker 4: Golden State against Denver and it was KPJ, Chris Done,
Speaker 4: a Mere Coffee, Nico Batoum, and a Visa Zubats. Coming
Speaker 4: out of last weekend when they swept the road trip,
Speaker 4: they were a plus ten and fourteen minutes. You can
Speaker 4: say it's fourteen minutes, but it's also like, well, I'm
Speaker 4: not gonna go away from it until it stops working.
Speaker 4: In fact, he had that to start the second quarter
Speaker 4: against OKC and they played the minutes even against them,
Speaker 4: So then he goes to it in the fourth and
Speaker 4: they get ambushed and they lose. I think they're by ten,
Speaker 4: Like in five minutes they went minus ten. Tonight, that
Speaker 4: lineup started the second quarter and made the sixteen to
Speaker 4: two run and absolutely won them this game. They don't
Speaker 4: win it without him going to that lineup heavy and
Speaker 4: sticking with it. I love seeing that.
Speaker 11: Well, I mean that's the thing too, is like you
Speaker 11: can't have too much of a hair trigger with some
Speaker 11: of these things, Like we still you know, while we
Speaker 11: don't have a lot of margins for error, we still
Speaker 11: don't have a full sample size. And I think in
Speaker 11: that situation, especially against OKC, like you know that you're
Speaker 11: going you know that you're gonna need your best guys
Speaker 11: to bookend this. Like you know that this is gonna
Speaker 11: be a close game. There's no way around that. Obviously
Speaker 11: it didn't necessarily enough that way because of that that
Speaker 11: massive deficit. But I like that thought process isn't so
Speaker 11: like alien to me that I'm like, what the like,
Speaker 11: what the hell is he thinking?
Speaker 4: You know what?
Speaker 11: I mean? Like that that to me doesn't it doesn't
Speaker 11: like it. I'm not getting any red flags or fire
Speaker 11: alarm bells on on that logic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of tried to, I don't know, get
Speaker 4: his back pregame with the question I asked. It was
Speaker 4: a little bit leading because he got frustrated when he
Speaker 4: was asked about not having Norm or not having James
Speaker 4: Harden on the court to start that fourth quarter. And
Speaker 4: I was thinking, wait a second, guys, he's been doing
Speaker 4: this and it's been working. It doesn't work in one stint,
Speaker 4: and now you're killing him about it, and tonight they
Speaker 4: win the game without those two guys on the court.
Speaker 4: Those are the guys that brought him back. They might
Speaker 4: have gone like plus twenty five or something like that.
Speaker 4: That lineup. I'm gonna check the lineup Dad in a
Speaker 4: little bit. But I'm just I'm happy to see him.
Speaker 4: I don't think he needs to be vindicated or validated
Speaker 4: or anything like that, but I'm glad that it wasn't
Speaker 4: so reactionary that, oh it doesn't work for one stint,
Speaker 4: everybody's getting on me and now I'm gonna go away
Speaker 4: from it, when in fact it ended up winning them
Speaker 4: the game tonight. So I think his coaching has been
Speaker 4: really good so far this season and there's not much
Speaker 4: you can complain about there. It's a talent deficit that
Speaker 4: the Clippers have been at for the most part that
Speaker 4: has come back to bite them in late game execution tonight.
Speaker 4: Just two turnovers in the fourth quarter when I think
Speaker 4: they had god fourteen combined the last two fourth quarters.
Speaker 4: Like it has been absolutely brutal. He is Will Updyke
Speaker 4: of Clips and Dip. I think we got a show
Speaker 4: coming up tomorrow for you guys as well. Will Thanks
Speaker 4: for joining me for a little Clips and Double dip
Speaker 4: after the Clippers twenty six point comeback on San Antonio
Speaker 4: their first ever victory. Here it into a dome.
Speaker 11: Absolutely my pleasure. I think I'm gonna be coming on
Speaker 11: a lot more. I'm sensing I'm sensing a win streak.
Speaker 11: I don't know, call me crazy, but thanks so much
Speaker 11: for having me. I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 4: It may be our year is will Updike loved having that.
Speaker 4: More of your phote calls coming up next, final segment
Speaker 4: eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight
Speaker 4: six six ninety seven two five seventy. Clippers come back
Speaker 4: in dramatic fashion. Heard that before, but now they do
Speaker 4: it into a dome. Clipper Nation. More Clippers talk right
Speaker 4: after this on your Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network at
Speaker 4: AM five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 1: This is the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 7: Best fans, invest arena, and the entire sport.
Speaker 1: Take us with you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3: Back to Clippers basketball.
Speaker 4: A mere coffee goes five of six from three, had
Speaker 4: twenty one points and the dunk with some icing on
Speaker 4: it at the end, and the Clippers are able to
Speaker 4: come back down twenty six against the San Antonio Spurs.
Speaker 4: They've had two twenty six point comebacks without Kawhi Leonard
Speaker 4: April versus the Cavaliers. Of course, Paul George was in
Speaker 4: that game, and I think he crossed over Evan Mobley
Speaker 4: with the game winner. And then tonight versus the Spurs,
Speaker 4: they won't have Kawhi on Wednesday, they won't have Paul George.
Speaker 4: He'll be playing against them. With Philadelphia back in this building,
Speaker 4: well for the first time for him, Clipper Nation back
Speaker 4: in this building, add into a dome tiptime Wednesday night,
Speaker 4: seven pm, six pm. Is your pregame show? Clippers are
Speaker 4: three and four. Look, it is one game. I understand
Speaker 4: you want to say it's one game. I'm gonna say
Speaker 4: the Clippers relocated their identity and remembered how they have
Speaker 4: to play with grit, determination, toughness and a high basketball
Speaker 4: IQ when they had to have it, when they had
Speaker 4: to be crisp. Just two turnovers in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4: You live at that all day. I mean, they pulled
Speaker 4: away in an unreal fashion. They never got into clutch
Speaker 4: time after being down twenty six. They somehow passed up
Speaker 4: San Antonio so quickly in the fourth quarter with the
Speaker 4: threes with Big Zoo dunking on Wemby that they never
Speaker 4: got into clutch time last five minutes, within five points
Speaker 4: after down twenty six. It's a thirty five point turnaround.
Speaker 4: One thirteen to one oh four is your final Let
Speaker 4: me look at the Paul George stats from today, as
Speaker 4: people in the chat at Clippers Talk on YouTube are
Speaker 4: talking about, I know he came back. I'm just glad
Speaker 4: he's it wasn't worse that injury. He's able to play,
Speaker 4: and that injury wasn't worse because it looked terrifying at first,
Speaker 4: did it not? It looked very similar to the OKC injury.
Speaker 4: Kadi had a clutch bucket and Phoenix would win one
Speaker 4: eighteen to one sixteen over the Philadelphia seventy six ers.
Speaker 4: Paul George four fourteen, one of seven from three, fifteen points,
Speaker 4: four assists, five boards, six turnovers. Still was a plus
Speaker 4: three in a game they lost by two. But that's
Speaker 4: gonna be fun Wednesday night. I know Cliper Nations looking
Speaker 4: forward to that. I know plenty of people are gonna
Speaker 4: boo Paul George, and I think it might be seventy
Speaker 4: eighty percent. He called him the b team said they
Speaker 4: did him dirty because they only offered one hundred and
Speaker 4: fifty million. I mean, I think this organization did right
Speaker 4: by him. I think they brought in every player he wanted,
Speaker 4: Russell Westbrook, Reggie Jackson, John Wall. If he wanted to
Speaker 4: play on ball, the acquiesced. He wanted to play off ball,
Speaker 4: the acquiesced. So I know there's gonna be no mercy
Speaker 4: from Clipernation on Wednesday night. I am gonna reflect on
Speaker 4: the good times with PG thirteen. I'd like to remember
Speaker 4: those instead of, you know, him contradicting himself on a
Speaker 4: podcast and talking about the situation here. Because he did
Speaker 4: help get them to the Western Conference Finals for the
Speaker 4: first time in franchise history. I just know what's coming
Speaker 4: Wednesday for him. I don't know if he's prepared for that,
Speaker 4: but I hope he's good to go, and it's not
Speaker 4: something where first came back from injury. Now he's got
Speaker 4: to take a couple of days off. I would assume
Speaker 4: he'll be ready to go. Everybody can respond with a
Speaker 4: paying ticket how they I want to within you know
Speaker 4: the balance of what that ticket also says. You know,
Speaker 4: there is a code of conduct for fans, but booing, cheering,
Speaker 4: whatever you're feeling like for Paul George, it will be
Speaker 4: welcome on Wednesday. And I'm glad they got their first
Speaker 4: victory out of the way and in dramatic fashion, in
Speaker 4: Clippers fashion like this heading into that game, so momentum
Speaker 4: hopefully build off of it. Julio Muchada says in the chat.
Speaker 4: These are the must win games, Adam, like you said,
Speaker 4: against lottery teams, so we can stay at a fifty
Speaker 4: percent win rate by the time Kawhi returns. Greetings from Italy.
Speaker 4: What's up, Julio? You know I'm Sicilian love hearing from you.
Speaker 4: Uh what time is it there? By the way, Julio,
Speaker 4: I want to know, But yeah, this is a game.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you drop the first game against Portland
Speaker 4: and the San Antonio Spurs, that just can't happen. Stay
Speaker 4: it for around five hundred before Kawhi gets back. When
Speaker 4: if that happens, we're hoping that obviously it's still a win.
Speaker 4: We don't know anything otherwise, but you have to handle
Speaker 4: your business against lower tier teams in the Western Conference,
Speaker 4: especially they get San Antonio three more times, they get
Speaker 4: Portland three more times. That needs to be six wins period.
Speaker 4: If you want a chance of finishing six through ten
Speaker 4: in the West, I think six is the high end
Speaker 4: them just staying out of the plan, and I'm hoping
Speaker 4: ten is the low end and they won't be worse
Speaker 4: than that. But look, it's one win. It puts some
Speaker 4: wind in your sales. Here, it into a dome making waves,
Speaker 4: and a lot of it was due to shooting fifty
Speaker 4: one percent from three. Is that sustainable. No, But the
Speaker 4: heart and the effort and the determination to come back
Speaker 4: down twenty six is that's what we've always seen from
Speaker 4: this team. So I'm proud of the effort and I'm
Speaker 4: proud of Big Zoo not giving up when you could
Speaker 4: crumble going up against Wemby and having your shot block
Speaker 4: like that, when nobody else can get to those blocks
Speaker 4: and Wemby can, that has to be demoralizing into flating.
Speaker 4: And instead Big Zoo came back and he dunked on
Speaker 4: him multiple times. That was the highlight of the game
Speaker 4: to me. Big Zoo dunks that Norman pal three with
Speaker 4: the nylon from Carlo our first of the season, Chris
Speaker 4: Dunn unleashing the dog in him against CP three going
Speaker 4: for that loose ball foul on Chris Paul. That's the
Speaker 4: type of stuff I love seeing. And yeah, the Clippers
Speaker 4: also need to make sure they stay in front of
Speaker 4: the Houston Rockets. So okay See at the end of
Speaker 4: the year takes the lower pick between the two pickswaps
Speaker 4: and hopefully Houston's is the better pick in the draft,
Speaker 4: meaning that's the one okay See will want to take
Speaker 4: over the Clippers so they can hold onto their first
Speaker 4: round pick. Zachary said he chatted with my guy Dime
Speaker 4: at the half and wanted to say we were going
Speaker 4: to win. But I've done that every game so far,
Speaker 4: so glad I was wrong. Let's build off this. Something
Speaker 4: has to be born tonight. You know, guys know me.
Speaker 4: I don't like to toot my own horn or pat
Speaker 4: myself on the back, but I did come into this
Speaker 4: one and tell big brother jk hey, I'm making a
Speaker 4: Big Brother Jake like level guaranteed that the Clippers win tonight.
Speaker 4: Did it look good when they were down twenty six? No,
Speaker 4: I look like a fool, But I did point out
Speaker 4: that if they can come back and win this game,
Speaker 4: it's exactly the type of win they need to build
Speaker 4: off of. This is who they are. This is who
Speaker 4: they've always been. You count them out, they come back
Speaker 4: on you. But it has to turn into a victory
Speaker 4: now on Wednesday against Paul George and the Philadelphia seventy
Speaker 4: six ers. If something was born out of this night,
Speaker 4: it can't end with them a loss the very next
Speaker 4: ball game. Right back here, it into a dome, right,
Speaker 4: You got to see this turn into a string of victories,
Speaker 4: at least two in a row before they head out
Speaker 4: on the road. Establish yourself in your new home. Now.
Speaker 4: I expect Clipper Nation to be even louder for that one,
Speaker 4: not just because because it's Paul George, but because they
Speaker 4: know what this Clippers team is capable of. They finally
Speaker 4: got a victory here, it into a dome, and they
Speaker 4: got it in the most Clippers way possible. That's what
Speaker 4: you love. This kind of reinvigorates you as a fan
Speaker 4: and renews your love with this team when you see
Speaker 4: victories like this, This is what it's about. Clipper's overcoming odds, grinding,
Speaker 4: finding a way, a mere coffee. He was on his
Speaker 4: way to a twenty one point night. Nine in the third,
Speaker 4: ten points in the fourth, Big Zoo just battling in
Speaker 4: an absolute war with Wemby, and it was won by
Speaker 4: a big Zoo. Late Wemby can have his nine blocks.
Speaker 4: He still went nine of twenty two, two of nine
Speaker 4: from three. He had thirteen boards. It doesn't matter. Big
Speaker 4: Zoo got the w and continued to push this team
Speaker 4: forward and was on the floor when they made that
Speaker 4: big run in the second quarter to get him right
Speaker 4: back in it right away here down forty to fourteen,
Speaker 4: They win the second quarter thirty four to sixteen. They
Speaker 4: win the ballgame one thirteen to one oh four to
Speaker 4: get their first ever win. Hear it into a dome.
Speaker 4: What a night Cliper Nation. Remember this one. History was made.
Speaker 4: There's much more to be done, but first ever victory
Speaker 4: here and into a dome historic, and the Clippers do
Speaker 4: so in typical Clippers fashion. Before we get out of here,
Speaker 4: I do want to thank the Clippers organization, Steve Balmer,
Speaker 4: God bless Steve Bomer. This one's for Steve Bomer. He
Speaker 4: built this home for the Clippers when they have never
Speaker 4: had one. Big thanks to Ralph Lawler, Brian Seeman, Noah Ego,
