WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:01.639 The Clippers. 2 00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:05.679 The game is ended, gather around boys, time to recap. 3 00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:08.720 But the post game coverage is just getting started. 4 00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:10.160 The successes the failure. 5 00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:14.439 Let's discuss this is Clippers locker Road breaking down today's 6 00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.399 action with the pre and post game voice of the Clippers. 7 00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:19.160 Here's Ada Moss. 8 00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:22.440 Lad The Clippers hold on and come through late up 9 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.600 in Sacktown. It was a four point game with just 10 00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:30.239 minutes remaining, and they hit three straight threes and Norman 11 00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:32.960 Pale drops thirty one as they win one oh seven 12 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:36.399 to ninety eight over the Kings. Welcome into your postgame show. 13 00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:39.399 I'm at a Moslin coming up second half highlights, but 14 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:45.200 first back out to Carlojmenez in Sacramento from Golden I Center. 15 00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.719 What a victory, What a performance by this team. It 16 00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.439 wasn't pretty. Eight turnovers on the fourth I'm sure coach 17 00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:53.640 Lou will be focused on that, but they stepped up 18 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:55.560 when they had too late. Carlo, Yeah, they. 19 00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:56.479 Stepped up at them. 20 00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.679 They played their brand of basketball and Norman Pale and 21 00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.759 Coffee got it done for this Clipper team down the 22 00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.760 stretch nine in the quarter for a mere normally that 23 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.480 big three and really started at them with what you 24 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.120 mentioned maybe the best stretch of the year for Kevin 25 00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:14.560 Porter Junior. Nine in a row probably should have been 26 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:16.439 eleven if he wasn't called for the travel driving to 27 00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.640 the rim. The Clipper bench had four total points late 28 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.760 in that third quarter. They finished the game with twenty 29 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.200 five from their bench, fourteen from Amire and the other 30 00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.920 eleven from KPJ. Impressive stuff for that group on an 31 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.159 impressive win, and you just got to keep building. 32 00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:35.840 But man, this Clipper team, Adam, we. 33 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:39.079 Talked about it after last game against Philadelphia. They seemingly 34 00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:43.079 have found their roles in this team and have found 35 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:44.319 some sort of identity. 36 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.159 And I'll tell you what the math is mathin. 37 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.319 Right now for Norma Pale, the math is math in 38 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.519 addition by subtraction is looking to make a whole. 39 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:52.879 Lot of sense. 40 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.079 Mister negative right now is doing a lot of positive 41 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:59.480 things for the Clippers and Norman Pale. What a performance 42 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:03.799 a double with twelve boards. Only Zubots had more for them. 43 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:06.480 I mean, I can't say enough about what Norman Pala 44 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.000 has been able to do with the departure of Paul George. 45 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.479 He wanted this opportunity and he is absolutely making the 46 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:13.280 most of it. Carlos. 47 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.599 He's doing everything right at him. 48 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.560 He's efficient, he's effective, he's getting rebounds. 49 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.159 He is playing at. 50 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.840 An elite level through nine games, and it just continues 51 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.560 to happen for him night after night. He looks comfortable 52 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.879 out there. He's had This is his fifth game with 53 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.840 five or more threes. He did it four times in 54 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:33.960 eighty two games last year. I mean, he is just 55 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.159 playing on another level for this Clipper team. 56 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.039 And it's so fun to watch. 57 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.319 I mean, when Norman Palace bringing the ball down the 58 00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:43.639 left wing and he gets into that hop step, you 59 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.199 know the ball's going up and you almost know it's 60 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:46.680 going in. 61 00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:47.560 He looks so. 62 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:52.199 Comfortable, so in rhythm, so locked in. A true sniper 63 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.840 for this Clipper team from the outside right now. He 64 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:56.879 told us, I mean, let's be honest, he told us. 65 00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:59.080 He said he could be a starter, he could be 66 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.599 an all star. He can average twenty in this league. 67 00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.800 And he is putting money where his mouth is right 68 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:06.159 now for this Clipper group. 69 00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:08.680 And he's cast from distance. And by the way, when 70 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.800 they're loading up on him off of that double or 71 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.560 triple team, when he was driving down the lane that kickout, 72 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.400 I believe was the Derrick Jones junior for the final 73 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:20.159 three pointer to really put this one away. After the 74 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.639 Clippers had some careless and unforced turnovers in the fourth quarter, 75 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.240 but they came through in Sacramento against the squad that 76 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.719 was a top five offense entering this ballgame and Carlo. 77 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.240 For the second straight game, their defense held a team 78 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:35.520 to just ninety eight points. 79 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:39.759 I mean, Sacramento Adams shot eleven percent from three, three 80 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:43.199 for twenty. 81 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:47.479 Six prize from three to eleven percent. 82 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:47.639 Sacramento, Oh my gosh. 83 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.000 They were looking for any sort of help from three 84 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.360 point Land, but they were a lot more expensive tonight. 85 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.599 This Clipper team made it tough. 86 00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:58.159 The Kings under one hundred points today, thirty one from 87 00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:00.840 de Aaron Fox you get twenty three from the bonus, 88 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.840 but not allowed to help anywhere else. And Keegan Murray 89 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.919 goes two for ten, Kevin Hurder two for five. The 90 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:11.319 Clippers hounded the Kings all game long. On the defensive end, 91 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.400 they made nothing easy, and the Clippers also had them 92 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:19.160 crash the offensive glass like no other twelve offensive rebounds 93 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:23.199 leading to eighteen second chance points for your Clippers, and 94 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.319 the hustle stats were excellent in all in the Clippers favor. 95 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.399 It was fun to watch them be a group that 96 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.800 we know they can be. That Brian Schach told us about. 97 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:33.920 He said, look, if we want to win games in 98 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.279 this NBA, we have to play harder than the other 99 00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:39.759 team every night. And the Clippers are doing that through 100 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:40.800 these first nine games. 101 00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:44.160 Yeah, it is impressive. They are building up that identity 102 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.920 and they're just strengthening it, strengthening it every game. They're 103 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.160 now five and four. This was the front end of 104 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.879 a back to back. They're coming home to into a 105 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.040 dumb conquering heroes. After taking down the Kings, they will 106 00:04:56.079 --> 00:05:00.959 be taking on the Toronto Raptors tomorrow night from the Dome. 107 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.279 Dome is home.

They were up fifty one to forty 129 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.680 five twenty four minutes in. In the third quarter, it 130 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.519 was rough. It was tough basketball to watch. I felt 131 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.000 like there was a whistle every possession the first five 132 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:21.680 minutes of the third. But a theme so far this 133 00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:25.279 season and a guy they brought in right away after 134 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:28.040 they cut ties with Paul George, they went a different direction. 135 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.439 They were looking for more defense and a three and 136 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.800 D guy that could be e leaite there.

To start the fourth KPJ nine straight points 149 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.879 for the Clippers. That was huge. They were up by sixteen, 150 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.360 but it was down to just four with minutes remaining. 151 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.240 A sack Town made a push and the Clippers continue 152 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:20.959 to turn it over eight turnovers in the fourth quarter alone. 153 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:23.959 But that's neither here nor there.

It was down to a four 192 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.919 point game at ninety eight to ninety four after DeMar 193 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:42.000 DeRozan hit a midi and then Norman pal three, and 194 00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:45.240 then a mere Coffee three, and then Norman Powell and 195 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.000 the kickout to Derek Jones Junior after they doubled him 196 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:53.360 for three unreal. Clippers win one oh seven to ninety eight. 197 00:09:54.240 --> 00:10:00.399 What a performance late and this team showing up off 198 00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:04.519 how they can step up in a big game. Has 199 00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:06.519 their three to zero on the road. By the way, 200 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:09.879 Clippers ended up shooting just forty four percent from the floor, 201 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.320 but fourteen to thirty from three. They're about to be 202 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.440 I think at over thirty eight percent from three on 203 00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:17.879 the season. Now, last three games they have been hot 204 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:22.039 from distance. Meanwhile, Sacramento story of the game, three of 205 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:25.399 twenty six from beyond the arc. I told you they 206 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:28.120 hadn't been shooting it. Well. I was worried at some 207 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:33.000 point they'd catch fire. It never happened. Credit the Clippers 208 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:38.080 defense some and just anordinate amount of cold shooting. Clippers 209 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:40.039 still had twenty one turnovers, and eight of those in 210 00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:42.639 the fourth quarter, but they only gave up seventeen points 211 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.200 on those twenty one turnovers. They got fifteen points on 212 00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:50.039 the fourteen turnovers from Sacktown. So Clippers did their job 213 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:53.960 of getting in transition when they could. Normurn Palell thirty 214 00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.639 one points ten of twenty three, shooting five of nine 215 00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:02.559 from distance. I just twelve boards two of pensive repounds. 216 00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:07.279 Norman Powell is con radio active. As Brian Stepman would say, 217 00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:12.039 he is backing up the talk, talking the talk, and 218 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:15.320 now walking the walk. He said it addition by subtraction. 219 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.480 Take that for data. Outside of Los Angeles, we are 220 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:23.320 leaving you until tomorrow night six thirties, a pregame show 221 00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:26.360 Clippers taking on the Toronto Raptors into a dome.

I'm out of Maslin eight 249 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:15.279 six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six 250 00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.200 six nine eight seven two five seventy. If you're listening 251 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.399 on the radio side, you just heard. I believe that 252 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.720 is buckethead on the guitar for the Powell Rangers anthem. 253 00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:27.440 I'm not joking about that, Zachocaldy. Our producer will check 254 00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:33.519 on that. But Norman Storman Pal or Storman Norman Pale, 255 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:37.120 whichever way you want to say it. Addition, by subtraction, 256 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:44.519 the guys taking over the league, talk your stuff. It works, 257 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.399 he said it a media day. I think his addition 258 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:53.360 by subtraction losing Paul George, Paul George. He had nine 259 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:56.799 points against the Lakers tonight, went oh of six from three. 260 00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:02.639 You know what normOn pal just did. He just eviscerated 261 00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:08.120 the Kings thirty one twelve boards, are you kidding me? 262 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:12.159 And a key pass late to Derris Jones Junior for 263 00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.960 a three pointer as the Clippers went three three three 264 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:21.039 not four Moses Malone style. But they knocked down three 265 00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:23.840 threes in a four point game late to put this 266 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:27.440 one away. Clutch shots. It was Storm and Norman Powell, 267 00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.320 then a mere coffee is for closers, and of course 268 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:34.320 DJ airplane mode as they're flying back to into a 269 00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.360 dome with that last three pointer there to put this 270 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.120 one on ice. They take down the Kings one to 271 00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:45.240 seven to ninety eight. This was a victory Clipper Nation, 272 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:49.000 three in a row for the Clips, A good victory. 273 00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:52.080 One I wasn't sure if they could get not in 274 00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:56.039 this fashion. The Sacramento Kings were fifth offensively as you 275 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:59.279 would imagine heading into this one. They've been good offensively 276 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.120 the last couple of seasons, and the Clippers shut the 277 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:06.320 water off again. After holding Philly to ninety eight points, 278 00:15:06.519 --> 00:15:09.080 they hold sack Town in their own house to ninety 279 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:13.120 eight points at Golden One Center. This team is fun. 280 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:17.000 These guys are gritty, they play hard. Sure, there were 281 00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.200 some turnovers late, they made up for it with the threes. 282 00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:23.279 I can't say enough about this Clippers team. In Norman 283 00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:26.519 Powell and a mere coffee with nine of his fourteen 284 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:33.360 points in the fourth quarter clutch How about Kevin Porter Junior. 285 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.519 He had nine straight early in the fourth quarter. Different 286 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:40.840 guys stepping up at different times. James Harden had fifteen 287 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:44.240 points in the first quarter. Offense was a grind here 288 00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:49.840 and there. I mean, they didn't score in the second quarter. 289 00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:53.600 They didn't have a made field goal till about the 290 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:56.039 eight to twenty mark, and then they did it again 291 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.879 in the third. And their defense was so good it 292 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:02.600 didn't matter. They could go into these deep offensive funks 293 00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:06.720 and just hold down Sacramento. Who win. This might be 294 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:11.600 a franchise low the King shot three of twenty six 295 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.799 from three. In my game preview, I told you about 296 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.000 this team has been struggling from three, going back to 297 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:21.000 the preseason. It has been spooky how bad they've been 298 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:25.200 from distance. It feels like a hex. They got some 299 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:27.120 kind of seance they got to use to get out 300 00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.399 of this funk from distance. This team is cursed right 301 00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.480 now from three. But then de Aaron Fox the first 302 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:35.159 shot of the game was a three pointer, and I thought, 303 00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:36.840 here we go. Of course they're gonna come out of 304 00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:40.159 the funk against the Clippers. Nope, they only hit two 305 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.440 more of the rest of the way. Three of twenty 306 00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:46.000 six is eleven and a half percent from three. I 307 00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:48.639 can't believe what I just saw. The Kings were that 308 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.879 bad and they have very capable shooters. Malik Monk oh 309 00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:58.159 of three, Kean Ellis one of three, Trey Lylesh of 310 00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:02.639 two from distance, Aaron two of five, Kevin Herder oh 311 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:06.519 of three, Keigan Murray oh of six. Are you kidding me? 312 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:09.359 Tomarto Rozan who had been shooting it well from three, 313 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:11.359 actually one of the few guys on the team he 314 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:15.000 went oh of two. De Aaron Fox gets thirty one. 315 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.359 It doesn't matter. Demantas Bonus had twenty three and twelve 316 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.039 and he didn't feel it. Big Zoo had fifteen boards. 317 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:30.599 He had thirteen and fifteen. This team special inspired basketball, 318 00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:35.759 the type of brand of basketball that Clipper Nation has 319 00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:40.359 been known to love. I well, we gotta screen some 320 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:42.799 calls here eight six six ninety seven two five seventy 321 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.359 eight six six ninety seven two five seventy. But I 322 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:47.200 could not be more proud of this group being above 323 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:50.079 five hundred right now, with a chance to start off 324 00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:52.720 the first ten games six and four if they win 325 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.400 tomorrow back home against Toronto, a team that's really struggling. 326 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:01.839 I think they're still last defensively in the league. You 327 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:04.559 gotta build off of this. Hey, I got a question, 328 00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:07.880 was something born out of that twenty six point comeback 329 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.319 against San Antonio? Can we say that yet? Was something 330 00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:13.920 born out of that victory? Then they beat Paul George 331 00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:17.519 and Philly and now they come through like this in 332 00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:23.519 Sacramento three in a row. It's early, but the personnel 333 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:26.880 is there to be this good defensively. I'm not shocked, 334 00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:29.680 but it's been even better than I thought so far. 335 00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:38.400 Hashtag JVG for MVP, Jeff Van Gundy for MVP. He's 336 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:46.160 been that good This team right now, just an unbelievable 337 00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:53.480 defensive performance against Sacramento. I set it around the six 338 00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:55.640 or seven minute mark. I put the tweet out there. 339 00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:58.200 Check it. I said, Sacktown is not getting to one 340 00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:04.279 hundred points tonight. They almost did ninety eight. You hold 341 00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:06.359 a team under one hundred in this league? I think 342 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.039 the worst team last season in the NBA average one 343 00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:14.079 hundred and six points per game. The worst team the 344 00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:16.640 worst offense in the NBA average like one hundred and 345 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:19.720 six last year in the NBA. Back to back games, 346 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:22.119 you hold a team under one hundred? Are you kidding me. 347 00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:28.640 This is incredible stuff by this Clippers team. And when 348 00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:30.599 I thought they were about to give a game away 349 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.240 with eight turnovers in the fourth quarter and just some 350 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:42.799 boneheaded ones, instead three straight three pointers ridiculous. First Norm 351 00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:47.039 calm everyone down, then a mere coffee. Then Derek Jones Jr. 352 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.839 Just clutch shot after clutch shot doing what Sacramento couldn't, 353 00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:57.400 hitting big threes, difference in the game, and it showed 354 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:04.880 itself out late. This is special. Joe in lake Forest, 355 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:06.720 who I think was in the chat here on the 356 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:10.559 Clippers talk side on YouTube a little bit earlier, Joe Rosenfeld. 357 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:12.319 I think this is Joe what's up here on Clipper 358 00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:13.480 stock with Autam Auslin. 359 00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:16.440 Adam, what's up? Thank you for everything you do. The 360 00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:21.720 Clippers content is a plus at all times, so addition 361 00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:25.480 by subtraction. I love the equation, but I think I've 362 00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:32.200 found it. It's Clippers minus thirteen equals twenty four. That's 363 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:32.960 all I have to say. 364 00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:40.519 Clippers minus thirteen equals twenty four. I mean, I get it. 365 00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:45.119 Minus Paul George minus PG thirteen equals twenty four. Savage 366 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:51.720 Norman Pal's number. What a bad ass. I haven't seen 367 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:54.839 something like this in a long time, where a guy 368 00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:58.960 calls his shot, says, it's his time. Put me in 369 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:03.599 the starting lineup. I'll show you what I can do. 370 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:10.279 Some guys wait for this moment, this opportunity, and they 371 00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:14.720 lose themselves eminem style. They can't step into the bright lights. 372 00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:22.319 They can't deliver when they finally get it, they can't 373 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:28.000 make it happen. Meanwhile, Norman Powell thriving as a starter. 374 00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.200 It's been the best player on the team. He's been 375 00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:34.920 one of the best players in the league. What are 376 00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:37.960 we talking about? Does Norman Powell have the most twenty 377 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.880 plus point game so far this season? Clipper Nation, I'm 378 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:49.519 asking you, does he? Norm is destroying worlds right now? 379 00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:54.759 Norman is doing some pioneer stuff where other teams are 380 00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:56.480 gonna be like, maybe Sacramento is gonna be like man 381 00:21:56.799 --> 00:21:58.720 Milik Monks, we give more of a leash, Like look 382 00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:01.440 at what Norman Pale's doing now? Are giving him this opportunity. 383 00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:07.920 I mean, he's a killer. Last season. I'm he's closing 384 00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:11.079 out games last season with the Powell Ranger lineup, and 385 00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:13.559 he was shooting something like fifty five percent from the 386 00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:17.920 floor and forty six percent or forty eight percent in 387 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.559 fourth quarters from three last season. He was the best 388 00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:27.079 crunch time performer for them. Nobody was more clutched than 389 00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:30.480 Norm last season in the fourth, not Kawhi, not PG, 390 00:22:30.680 --> 00:22:31.200 not Harden. 391 00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:32.720 It was Norm. 392 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:39.640 Now he's doing it for four quarters. What are we 393 00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:46.480 looking at? Norman Powell was shooting from three heading into 394 00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:54.279 this one forty eight percent. After this game where he 395 00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:57.880 went what five of nine from distance? Is he going 396 00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:01.160 to be over fifty from three to five of nine 397 00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:03.440 is fifty five percent? It might push him over fifty 398 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:06.000 percent from three nine games in where the Clippers are 399 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:10.400 five and four, He shot forty four percent from three 400 00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:13.759 last season. This is not a fluke. We just didn't 401 00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:15.039
