Speaker 1: now here. He is the host of your LA Clippers
Speaker 1: pre and postgame.
Speaker 2: At follow Adam a Adam Ousley. Hey, we can like
Speaker 2: that New York Slide pizza out here too.
Speaker 4: I know I do, especially after.
Speaker 2: A Clippers victory over the New York Knicks they win
Speaker 2: one oh five to ninety five. Welcome in to your
Speaker 2: post game show.
Speaker 4: It's Clippers Talk.
Speaker 2: I'm at a mod eight six six ninety seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two five
Speaker 2: seventy is the phone number coming up? Looking for postgame audio.
Speaker 2: We'll get to your phone calls. Clippers have won two
Speaker 2: in a row now, okay, starting to feel a little
Speaker 2: bit better about this ball club. Huh they hold a
Speaker 2: team to ninety five points. I know who the Knicks
Speaker 2: were without Jalen Brunson. Second night of it, back to back,
Speaker 2: got hurt laid against the Lakers last night. But the
Speaker 2: Clippers handled their business, holding a team to thirty eight
Speaker 2: and a half percent shooting from the field and nine
Speaker 2: to thirty four from three.
Speaker 4: Not easy.
Speaker 2: The Knicks only turned it over thirteen times per game.
Speaker 2: They turned it over fifteen times against the Clippers, and
Speaker 2: there were some key defensive moments in this one in
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter when the Clippers had to have it.
Speaker 2: It was a one point game heading into the fourth.
Speaker 2: As the Clippers well, they went zero of nine from
Speaker 2: the field the last five minutes of the third. It
Speaker 2: was seventy nine seventy eight Clippers to start the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: It was DJ Bogie, Emir Zuo Kawhi Bogee hits a
Speaker 2: turnaround to get things going in the fourth quarter after
Speaker 2: not having a point entering it. He would come up huge,
Speaker 2: Kawhi short on a fade away, Shammitt would miss, Bogey
Speaker 2: would get a board. He went for a career high
Speaker 2: twelve rebounds. Then after Kawhi was short, he was long
Speaker 2: on a jumper, Campaign misses a three, Zoo passed to
Speaker 2: a cutting DJ for a dunk, and there's your second
Speaker 2: field goal of the fourth quarter, and coach Tibbs ESUS
Speaker 2: team down five, calls a timeout Bridges misses out of
Speaker 2: the timeout, Zuo miss is a floater off for great
Speaker 2: feed from Kawhi, payning turnover, Kawhi short on a floater,
Speaker 2: couldn't get anything to go. Look gas late really did.
Speaker 2: But there were some things I was very much encouraged by.
Speaker 2: Shammitt had a miss and Kawhi crashed the glass. Zoo
Speaker 2: came up with it. The little things there Kawhi was
Speaker 2: doing to impact the game of the fourth quarter, even
Speaker 2: though shots weren't falling. Bogey to Zoo now eighty five
Speaker 2: seventy eight, shamit would beat Zoo to the basket on
Speaker 2: a left Ali layup, Kawhi to DJ for a big three.
Speaker 2: Welcome back Derek Jones Jr. Eight point Clippers lead. They
Speaker 2: got that cushion there. Bridges hits a jumper, Bogie another
Speaker 2: fade away. He's not just a three point sniper, He's
Speaker 2: a three level scorer. Pressures at Chua had an and
Speaker 2: one as Bogie fouled him. Did they review that one?
Speaker 2: I believe they did. Maybe they didn't. A mirror misses
Speaker 2: a wide open three and maybe one of my favorite
Speaker 2: players of the game, Kawhi as they were pushing it
Speaker 2: in transition with josh Hart. Stayed with him the entire
Speaker 2: time from the back court to the front court, running
Speaker 2: full speed, and then got the strip off of josh
Speaker 2: Hart and then a mirror in the same spot, wide
Speaker 2: open three nails it. The bench wasn't great, but they
Speaker 2: were gritty late. They had some timely bucket. It's then
Speaker 2: Kawhi defense on Shammit, great close out, misses a three.
Speaker 2: Kawhi spins to the rim and his foul wasn't hitting
Speaker 2: with his jumper, wasn't hitting with the floater in the
Speaker 2: fourth how can you make an impact?
Speaker 4: Get to the free throw line.
Speaker 2: Harden is still on the bench at this point. By
Speaker 2: the way, this is interesting, especially when it give you
Speaker 2: the time that he entered the game. So Kawhi hits
Speaker 2: the first misses the second. Clippers are up by nine.
Speaker 2: Then Zuo defense on Og and Bogie gets his tenth rebound.
Speaker 4: Derek Joone Junior misses a three.
Speaker 2: Emir fouls heart in the back court. Harden comes into
Speaker 2: the game at the five p twenty nine mark of.
Speaker 4: The fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: This is coach lou managing minutes. Harden only played thirty six.
Speaker 2: That's nothing for him. With how many he's been tasked
Speaker 2: with this season. Everything he's been asked to do, he
Speaker 2: has done. Josh Hartwood hit a floater, seven point game.
Speaker 2: Kawhi misses a jumper over McBride. He goes oh four
Speaker 2: from the field in the fourth, but an og turnover
Speaker 2: and then a Bogee tip in and the Clippers are
Speaker 2: back up by nine after Boge gets the tip in
Speaker 2: on a hard and miss. This is all about doing
Speaker 2: the little things when shots aren't falling.
Speaker 4: Bogey couldn't get anything to go.
Speaker 2: He did have the two fallaways to start the fourth quarter,
Speaker 2: but he hadn't scored entering it.
Speaker 4: And then he's doing the dirty work getting tip ins.
Speaker 2: Bridges jumper ninety six eighty nine, Clippers up seven, Bogie
Speaker 2: another tip in off a zoom miss ninety eight eighty nine.
Speaker 2: Kawhi defense again very good and Nico batoum a little
Speaker 2: Bittumbo rip to kembe Matumbo with a Nico Batum block
Speaker 2: but Toombo happened out there. Then Kawhi tough move splits
Speaker 2: the defense goes to the line as he gets fouled
Speaker 2: by Karl Anthony Towns put the pressure on the defense
Speaker 2: back at the free throw line.
Speaker 4: Hits.
Speaker 2: Both Clippers are up by eleven first to one hundred.
Speaker 2: Shoutout Ralph Lawler, it's one hundred to eighty nine. You're
Speaker 2: starting to feel real good about this. One heart push shot.
Speaker 2: Bogie misses a fallaway, Og misses Kawhi rebound. Doing the
Speaker 2: little things. They did have a turnover. Kat would get
Speaker 2: a bucket. Seven point game not over yet. Harden probably
Speaker 2: the biggest bucket with a floater made it one two
Speaker 2: to ninety three to give them that breathing room. Bridges
Speaker 2: would get a lay up the other way, but this
Speaker 2: might have been the one that sealed it.
Speaker 4: Bogey misses a three pointer.
Speaker 2: Couldn't get anything to fall there late, but but Kawhi
Speaker 2: Leonard comes down with a big offensive rebound that was huge.
Speaker 2: Then they had to foul James Harden. He went to
Speaker 2: the free line put them up nine to twenty five
Speaker 2: seconds left. Game.
Speaker 4: Clippers weren't at their best.
Speaker 2: By any stretch of the imagination, but they did what
Speaker 2: they had to and their defense showed up. And that's
Speaker 2: what they're supposed to hang their hat on. Offense comes
Speaker 2: and goes, defense has to be there, and even with
Speaker 2: how close it felt, the Clippers didn't go into clutch
Speaker 2: time in this game, meaning the game was not within
Speaker 2: five in the last five minutes. It was the first
Speaker 2: time their last seven games that they weren't in clutch time,
Speaker 2: meaning they have lost a lot of close games, and
Speaker 2: there was some times where I was like, okay, well,
Speaker 2: too close for comfort, but never got within five points
Speaker 2: in the last five minutes.
Speaker 4: Good to see that.
Speaker 2: Good to see a lot of guys contribute in different
Speaker 2: ways when what they do best wasn't working. These are
Speaker 2: just the type of digg it out of the dirt games,
Speaker 2: rock fights that you have to win. When a team
Speaker 2: like the Knicks that is forty and twenty two and
Speaker 2: now forty and twenty three I think on the season,
Speaker 2: is missing their best player in Jalen Brunson. They still
Speaker 2: had kat Karl Anthony Town struggled eight of twenty one
Speaker 2: to get to his twenty three points. Mcale Bridges, who
Speaker 2: they traded five first round picks for. You hear that,
Speaker 2: Nico Harrison. They had to trade five first round picks
Speaker 2: to get McHale Bridges. You got one back for Luca.
Speaker 2: He had twenty two, an efficient twenty two, but he
Speaker 2: only took twelve shots that's not enough to me. If
Speaker 2: I'm a Knicks fan, I'm asking we need more from
Speaker 2: you right now.
Speaker 4: Bro.
Speaker 2: Miles McBride was two of thirteen. Josh Hart six to thirteen.
Speaker 2: He give Kawhi problems, especially in the first half. Kawhi
Speaker 2: was really good in that third quarter. That one eighty
Speaker 2: no look reverse layup he had over bridges was tough.
Speaker 2: He also had a putback off a miss jumper that
Speaker 2: I liked, and I'll fall away over a double team
Speaker 2: in the third Kawhi watch is always happening.
Speaker 4: I started here first.
Speaker 2: Come on, Darien, you know I patent did some trademarked
Speaker 2: Kawhi watch.
Speaker 4: I was just kidding, bro.
Speaker 2: But dj back knocks down two threes really really good
Speaker 2: to see him out there and Bogie going zero four
Speaker 2: from three but still making all these impactful plays, big
Speaker 2: time performers from him like that could get in your head,
Speaker 2: your three point marksman, you're missing, No forget that. You
Speaker 2: can help in other ways. You can make good passes
Speaker 2: on the pick and roll to eats the zubas, and
Speaker 2: it's great to have another guy out there that can
Speaker 2: do that. Coach Lu commented about that pregame Clippers win
Speaker 2: one o five to ninety five over the Knicks. We'll
Speaker 2: take a time out, we'll come back. I'll read some
Speaker 2: of your comments. We'll get to your phone calls. Eight
Speaker 2: six six nine eighty seven two five seventy eight six
Speaker 2: six ninety seven two five seventy is the phone number.
Speaker 2: Clippers didn't need to stay hot from three to win
Speaker 2: in the second half, after going eleven of twenty from
Speaker 2: three in the first half just four of eighteen from
Speaker 2: three in the second half. They still win by ten
Speaker 2: because the defense was there all night against the Knicks.
Speaker 2: I'm out of Masland hearing into it dumb, and you're
Speaker 2: listening to listening to Clippers hockey on the M five
Speaker 2: seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 1: And I am after Dan Patrick right here on your
Speaker 1: home of the world champion.
Speaker 3: Dodgers, a M five seventy LA Sports throws it out
Speaker 3: the window, finishes in the fowl Los Angeles Slipper Nation.
Speaker 1: This is your home for the LA Clippers. LA Clippers.
Speaker 1: Take us with you on the Ihearts RADIOIP.
Speaker 2: Clippers win one O five to ninety five. So I
Speaker 2: pushed my blidders to its limit. Here ad into a dome.
Speaker 2: Welcome back in its Clippers Talk forgot to go during
Speaker 2: the break. I'm too excited to talk Clippers. I can't leave.
Speaker 2: I can't stop doing shows on Clippers Talk. I think
Speaker 2: we're one hundred and fifty four days in one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty four straight days of Clippers talk at Clippers
Speaker 2: Talk on the YouTube side. Clippers win one O five
Speaker 2: to ninety five over the Knicks. They make it two
Speaker 2: in a row, two and oh so far on this
Speaker 2: homestand the Dome is home. It is great to be
Speaker 2: back here. They've been dominant in their first season. Hear
Speaker 2: it into a dome. God bless Steve Balmer for building
Speaker 2: this cathedral, this basketball palace, the best place in the
Speaker 2: world to watch a basketball game.
Speaker 4: Just how many games in are we? We've played about thirty.
Speaker 2: Or twenty nine games here so far this season, and
Speaker 2: I still get excited coming here.
Speaker 4: You guys should too.
Speaker 2: You know there were some Knicks fans in the building tonight,
Speaker 2: and I know everybody wants.
Speaker 4: To see this. Spike Lee was here.
Speaker 2: But Clipper Nations is still dominated and the Clippers' defense dominated.
Speaker 2: This is them, maybe out of necessity, getting back to
Speaker 2: playing elite defense because their offense. You know, I didn't
Speaker 2: think it was great tonight. They shot forty two percent
Speaker 2: from the field. I think the threes and the hot
Speaker 2: three point shooting in the first half masked some poor
Speaker 2: possessions and some poor process, but they did execute well
Speaker 2: enough late. They did outscore them twenty six to seventeen
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, and holding them to seventeen points
Speaker 2: in the fourth is spectacular defense. And I thought there
Speaker 2: was a really good ato by Coach Lou out of
Speaker 2: a timeout. It was a lob over the defense to
Speaker 2: Kawhi on the right block in the fourth quarter from
Speaker 2: James Harden. They had to foul. There were just some
Speaker 2: little things like you knew and have your best three
Speaker 2: point shooting was gone in the second half, as hot
Speaker 2: as they were in the first half, and they just
Speaker 2: had to grind it out. And the Knicks still a
Speaker 2: good defensive team without Jalen Brunson, There's still a team
Speaker 2: that scraps and plays hard, and maybe the key word
Speaker 2: there is scrap. The Clippers have to get their scrap back.
Speaker 2: That's what coach Lou likes to talk about when he
Speaker 2: talks about their defense. Our scrap was good postgame. I'm
Speaker 2: interested to hear from coach lou I'll look for some
Speaker 2: quotes here, but about the type of gritty victory this was,
Speaker 2: and if he was pleased or.
Speaker 4: Not with their defense.
Speaker 2: James Harden had such a quiet twenty seven. Maybe that's
Speaker 2: because he's coming off a game where he had fifty.
Speaker 2: You know, he was only seven of twenty. I need
Speaker 2: to look up scoring by quarter with James Harden. When
Speaker 2: did he do his most damage. So in the first quarter, yeah,
Speaker 2: it might have been that he had ten points. Ten
Speaker 2: of his twenty seven. He was just three of seven
Speaker 2: from the field, but he had four asis. He had
Speaker 2: a couple of Really, I noticed James Harden was while
Speaker 2: he was looking for a shot early, almost giving himself
Speaker 2: a heat check. He took five threes in the first
Speaker 2: quarter to see if he was still hot.
Speaker 4: It really felt like.
Speaker 2: He was looking to see I still got it from
Speaker 2: Wednesday night. He had nine points in the second quarter
Speaker 2: where he would hit three three pointers, so a little
Speaker 2: bit hotter there. And the Clippers led sixty to fifty four.
Speaker 2: And I want to check on the end of that
Speaker 2: second quarter in my notes here, because the Clippers, so
Speaker 2: they started this game on a nine to zero run.
Speaker 2: They were up nine to nothing. They ended the first
Speaker 2: quarter on a nine oh run. That was great to see.
Speaker 2: It was thirty one to twenty five heading into the second.
Speaker 4: And then.
Speaker 2: Were they down by nine at one point? Yeah, they
Speaker 2: were down by nine. In the second the Knicks had
Speaker 2: a nine to zero run of their own. There was
Speaker 2: a possession where Kawhi played extremely aggressive defense on McHale
Speaker 2: Bridges on the left wing in the second quarter that
Speaker 2: I noticed where he really got into him and Bridges
Speaker 2: threw up some junk and it went Kawi was.
Speaker 4: Like, damn.
Speaker 2: But I thought the fourth quarter was some of the
Speaker 2: best defense he's played since he came back really focusing
Speaker 2: on that that end. But back in the second quarter,
Speaker 2: there were times where at the end of possessions, I
Speaker 2: was frustrated because the ball was finding U Banks instead
Speaker 2: of Kawhi. Even if he has to something over a
Speaker 2: double team, I think that's better than I drew U
Speaker 2: Banks push shot.
Speaker 4: It wasn't working.
Speaker 2: Zuke came back in and they restored order in that
Speaker 2: second Courts Zubots helped, but I'm looking for yes James
Speaker 2: would at the end of the second quarter, he got
Speaker 2: fouled on a three pointer, which was big for the Clippers.
Speaker 2: He also I think made a big three. Of course,
Speaker 2: Patum did damage in that area. You want to talk
Speaker 2: about restoring order, Batum hit some really big shots for
Speaker 2: the Clippers to give them leads or grab the lead
Speaker 2: back immediately, because they were down forty five to thirty
Speaker 2: six by nine at the six h four mark of
Speaker 2: the second. In fact, the Clippers only had five points
Speaker 2: in the second quarter midway through it. It was a
Speaker 2: brutal watch. That lineup that was out there wasn't exactly
Speaker 2: getting it done. I mean it was Kawhi, dj U
Speaker 2: Banksamir Bogie for a period of time.
Speaker 4: They really struggled.
Speaker 2: That's what got them down by nine and killed Kawhi's
Speaker 2: plus minus on the night. But James Harden came back
Speaker 2: in and hit a three after they were down by nine.
Speaker 2: That was a big shot to kind of restore order.
Speaker 2: And then Kawhi knock won down. So you go from
Speaker 2: being down by nine within the span of just about
Speaker 2: forty seconds to being down by three. Time out Nicks,
Speaker 2: They're a forty five to forty two with five point
Speaker 2: fifteen left in the second. That was a really big
Speaker 2: swing for the Clippers. That was big there Nico would
Speaker 2: eventually hit a three pointer, and then near the end
Speaker 2: of the second quarter, it was a Zubots dunk off
Speaker 2: a really good feed from James Harden. I think that
Speaker 2: was Harden had in this ballgame, guys. A crazy this
Speaker 2: might have been in the third quarter what looked to
Speaker 2: be a step back three that was actually a pass
Speaker 2: underneath to Aviza Zubats for a bucket. It was special.
Speaker 2: It was a crazy pass from James. Hit me up
Speaker 2: if you guys remember the quarter that happened in because
Speaker 2: I took note of that, or did I as I'm
Speaker 2: trying to find it here. But Zoo buckets to start
Speaker 2: the third quarter, and then after Kawhi got off to
Speaker 2: that slow start, well they only had a one point
Speaker 2: lead at the half. He hit that fade away over
Speaker 2: a double team, the reverse where he got the step
Speaker 2: on Josh Hard on the right wing, got to the
Speaker 2: basket and had that spinning no look reverse layup over
Speaker 2: Michale Bridges.
Speaker 4: Really good to see, but.
Speaker 2: Toom actually had this is funny. But Tom was so
Speaker 2: hot from the outside that he fooled of each the
Speaker 2: Zoo boss in the third quarter on a jump pass
Speaker 2: where Zoo was waiting underneath the basket in case he
Speaker 2: missed the three, but instead but Toom hit him in
Speaker 2: the face with the basketball basically as it was a pass.
Speaker 2: That's how unselfish he is. Maybe a little bit too
Speaker 2: unselfish in that moment there, but all in all, solid
Speaker 2: victory for the Clippers. Do have a huge game coming
Speaker 2: up on Sunday back here at into it Dome against
Speaker 2: a King's team that is really putting it together as
Speaker 2: of late, and got a big victory over a former
Speaker 2: King in dearon Fox and the same Antonio Spurs tonight
Speaker 2: up in Sacktown.
Speaker 4: Jay Dogg said.
Speaker 2: It was with one minute left in the quarter. Which
Speaker 2: quarter you're saying, second quarter? So that was the play
Speaker 2: I was thinking of that that Zubot's dunked and near
Speaker 2: the end of the second quarter that was the James
Speaker 2: Harden step back three. Wait no, he's just passing a
Speaker 2: download of eats Zoobots. Everybody reacted to that step back
Speaker 2: three and James found Aviata Zubos instead. Awesome to see.
Speaker 2: Also good to see. I joked, I needed Zoo getting
Speaker 2: twenty shots every game. I know that's not gonna happen,
Speaker 2: but he still got up eighteen and a game with
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard back. So that's important to note. Last game
Speaker 2: no Kawhi, this game with Kawhi, he still got up
Speaker 2: eighteen shots. James got up twenty, Kawhi got up eighteen.
Speaker 2: Clippers winning at one oh five to ninety five over
Speaker 2: the Knicks. Here at into a home. Let's go to
Speaker 2: Demetrius and Manhattan Beach. Demetrius, you got thirty seconds there.
Speaker 5: Welcome back to so cal Adam. I just want to
Speaker 5: make two quick corners, Adam. Last year they were shooting
Speaker 5: thirty eight percent from three point range. If I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 5: I think they were number two in free thow attempt
Speaker 5: at seventy seven percent as a team. I'm coming to
Speaker 5: here just to give corners. If you know, noticed the
Speaker 5: last game before when they got bleue out when I
Speaker 5: spoke to you, I said there were a light at
Speaker 5: the end of the tunnel. When I mentioned to you
Speaker 5: about Big Zoo and we talked about it, and then
Speaker 5: you've been raving over get this guy the ball.
Speaker 2: So now I've been screaming about getting Big Zoo to
Speaker 2: the ball for like three years. Now I got, I got,
Speaker 2: I got the tweets and the receipts.
Speaker 5: Now you do, you're absolutely we own the same thing.
Speaker 5: And I'm and i'm and I think ty Lu has
Speaker 5: been listening to one of us. But you know, you
Speaker 5: have to get this guy the ball in order to
Speaker 5: incorporate and win games. And I want to make this
Speaker 5: point when I told you if you noticed the last
Speaker 5: time I spoke to you, when they blew out that game,
Speaker 5: I said, Adam, there's light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker 5: We got four players that can average double figures. Now
Speaker 5: that then, incorporating Zuo, we got Zu, we got hardened.
Speaker 5: We need, you know, nineteen and ten out of him.
Speaker 5: Big Zoo is going to give us nineteen and fourteen.
Speaker 5: Kawhi Leonard has averaged twenty in his last seven games.
Speaker 5: Now he's umping up, he's getting more valuable on the
Speaker 5: defense and offensive rebound. He's feeling more comfortable. Norman Powell
Speaker 5: will then come back. So now I'm looking at the bench.
Speaker 5: With this type of defense we're playing, we already talked
Speaker 5: about it, Adam, we need the whole team in order
Speaker 5: to compete, because that's just where we're at right now.
Speaker 5: So we got four players that can average double figures.
Speaker 5: Bogie Junior, and several guys on the bench like Batun
Speaker 5: who was lights lights out tonight, And we can get
Speaker 5: thirty off the bench, get our guys to have his
Speaker 5: double figures Zoo Kawhi Leonard, you know, twenty three and eight,
Speaker 5: twenty four nine. I think we're going to be smoking
Speaker 5: going into the playoffs. And that's the recipe. Get back
Speaker 5: to shooting to thirty eight percent from three point range,
Speaker 5: get back to shooting seventy well eight percent.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing comparing this team shooting numbers to last
Speaker 2: year's team, that team was a better shooting team a period.
Speaker 2: Like for all the mocking people do of Paul George
Speaker 2: is a very good, high volume three point shooter, it's
Speaker 2: not the same. And also the gravity of having him
Speaker 2: out there leads to more open shots for players. And
Speaker 2: when you're playing Chris Dunn and Derek Jones junior guys
Speaker 2: who are known for being a little bit above thirty
Speaker 2: percent from the outside for their careers, when they're playing
Speaker 2: heavier minutes on your team and they weren't there last year,
Speaker 2: that's going to affect your overall three point shooting. So
Speaker 2: I think this is more of a person LSU and
Speaker 2: I'm not saying they can't have hot streaks. Tonight the
Speaker 2: Clippers first half eleven to fifty from the outside. But
Speaker 2: Nico Patombs not going five to seven every game, my friend,
Speaker 2: that's not how I know you.
Speaker 5: Have to go. And I agree with you, Adam, and
Speaker 5: I know you gotta go. But I will say this,
Speaker 5: the light is at the end of the tunnel. I
Speaker 5: love what I'm seeing. Like you say, two game winning streak,
Speaker 5: that's fine, getting back to our winning ways. We wanted
Speaker 5: to win ugly tonight, so it gave Todd Lou an
Speaker 5: opportunity and the clutch time to say, hey, we can
Speaker 5: do more. If we not, our shot is not falling.
Speaker 5: That's haint guard heads on the defensive enda, because.
Speaker 2: That's what I was saying, Demetrius. I appreciate the phone call,
Speaker 2: my friend. We got to take a quick time out here.
Speaker 2: But I'm with you.
Speaker 4: You know that. I think on nights like this where
Speaker 4: you only.
Speaker 2: Shoot forty two percent from the field, you have to
Speaker 2: get back to basics, get back to playing great defense
Speaker 2: out there. All it for some post game quotes from
Speaker 2: coach lou coming up. Clippers win one on five to
Speaker 2: ninety five over the name here it into a dumb
Speaker 2: quick time out listening to Clipper sock here on N
Speaker 2: five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 1: This is the LA Clippers Audio Network, Best fans in
Speaker 1: best arena in the entire sport. Take us with you
Speaker 1: wherever you are on the iHeartRadio. Back to Clippers basketball.
Speaker 2: Clippers win one O five to ninety five over the Knicks.
Speaker 2: Here at into a domeb welcome back. I'm out of Moslin.
Speaker 2: Who got the boat? Don Bogdanovich career high twelve rebounds,
Speaker 2: three offensive rebounds, all eight of his points coming in
Speaker 2: the fourth, four of them coming off of offensive rebounds
Speaker 2: for tip ins.
Speaker 4: Apparently.
Speaker 2: Coach lu said postgame, Jeff Van Gundy had been challenging
Speaker 2: vow Don to get on the glass a little bit more.
Speaker 2: I think it worked out. He's done this, or I
Speaker 2: guess he puts like notes in guys lockers, locker rooms
Speaker 2: or lockers, slips a note in there, challenges guys to
Speaker 2: do something that's out of the ordinary, maybe for them,
Speaker 2: but something they're capable of doing. I love that from JVG.
Speaker 2: Coach leucaid postgame that Kawhi and James Harden both trust
Speaker 2: bo Don Bogdanovitch down the stretch of close games to
Speaker 2: handle the ball and make decisions to alleviate some of
Speaker 2: the pressure off of them.
Speaker 4: I did too.
Speaker 2: I've been telling everybody like, it's not an option to
Speaker 2: just go away from Bogey with the way this team
Speaker 2: has been constructed, so people that were hating on his
Speaker 2: three point shooting, and it's been better as of late,
Speaker 2: although he went oh for four in this game, but
Speaker 2: it has been better. Bogie is too talented of a player.
Speaker 2: You bet on his career numbers and things evening out,
Speaker 2: you stick with him. He's thirty two, He's moving fine.
Speaker 2: Three point shooting has been a confidence thing. It's a
Speaker 2: bummer that tonight he goes oh four. After the last
Speaker 2: five games he had been shooting forty seven percent from
Speaker 2: the outside.
Speaker 4: But he found other.
Speaker 2: Ways to contribute and impact the game and win them
Speaker 2: the game. They don't win without Bogie and him being
Speaker 2: able to run pick and roll where you see like
Speaker 2: Kawhi doesn't have anything for a possession. I saw this
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. The ISO wasn't there. He gave
Speaker 2: it up to Bogey. Bogey ran pick and roll with
Speaker 2: a Visa Zubas. It just makes them more diverse offensively,
Speaker 2: and it gives guys a breather from having to do
Speaker 2: so much offensively. And James Harden and Kawhi Leonard, that's
Speaker 2: the point of this having another ball handler out there.
Speaker 2: So now you got him and Chris Donne. When Ben
Speaker 2: Simmons comes back, that can be big for them next
Speaker 2: to James and Kawhi in that ball handling responsibility in
Speaker 2: those duties. Anytime you can help out those guys, even
Speaker 2: just a little bit, I think it makes a big
Speaker 2: difference when it comes to energy late. You take the
Speaker 2: ball out of their hands and playmaking responsibilities and having
Speaker 2: to do so much on ball, work out their hands
Speaker 2: a little bit. Take some of that use of trading away.
Speaker 2: It will pay dividends for you. Jose and Southgate who's
Speaker 2: known as Jay in the chat, you're on Clipper stop
Speaker 2: without a Molls and what's up, Hoose?
Speaker 6: What's up? Out of man? I was ready to call
Speaker 6: in to say that Kly was funny looking at fishing tonight,
Speaker 6: but then he goes oh for four in that fourth quarter.
Speaker 6: But it's all right, he's still getting to his spose,
Speaker 6: He's still got that burst. I really want to call
Speaker 6: in just to say shout out to Nico aka mister
Speaker 6: Bingo tonight. And he was also looking like block. Dune
Speaker 6: Lubak was looking.
Speaker 5: Like block and you don't want done done. I love
Speaker 5: a baby too, Oh Bat.
Speaker 6: I'm back at home post All Star break. Thank you
Speaker 6: Adam for this Clippers content.
Speaker 3: Love call.
Speaker 2: Clipper Jose and Southgate with the let's go Clippers chant
Speaker 2: at the end, as he's prone to do with all
Speaker 2: his calls. We'll take a time out. Clippers win one
Speaker 2: O five to ninety five over the Knicks. Here at
Speaker 2: into its home. Clippers back here against Sacktown on Sunday night.
Speaker 2: Huge battle. When it comes to seeding playoff positioning, they're
Speaker 2: right next to the Kings and the standings will update
Speaker 2: you on that coming up next. I'm out of Masland
Speaker 2: and this is Clippers Sockeyer on the M five seventy
Speaker 2: LA Sports.
Speaker 1: I love this team. I never miss a game.
Speaker 3: You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball free Ball, Yes, sir,
Speaker 3: right here on the LA Clippers Audio network.
Speaker 4: Is my box score wrong? No, it's right.
Speaker 2: James Hardenfor did finish with twenty seven. The Clippers win
Speaker 2: one O five to ninety five over the Knicks. Twenty
Speaker 2: seven was a game high in this one. No Jalen
Speaker 2: Brunson for New York McHale Bridges had twenty two, Karl
Speaker 2: Anthony Towns had twenty three, but on eight of twenty
Speaker 2: one shooting, and Nico batoom got the start partially because
Speaker 2: Carl Anthony Towns.
Speaker 4: I like that move.
Speaker 2: And as I've been saying for months for everybody complaining
Speaker 2: about the Clippers not having or not getting that power forward,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, Nico Batoum can be the secret weapon
Speaker 2: power forward in a playoff series, depending on the matchup.
Speaker 2: A guy who can start games at power forward, why because.
Speaker 4: He can shoot?
Speaker 2: Did you see him tonight five to seven from the outside.
Speaker 2: You need somebody that plays power forward that can shoot
Speaker 2: next to him.
Speaker 4: Beat to zoubots.
Speaker 2: They have been I've been saying this. I think they're
Speaker 2: saving Nico. That's why he hasn't been playing heavy minutes.
Speaker 2: Tonight he played thirty four. Oh, I heard the Jimmy
Speaker 2: Butler chant. That was pretty good from the wall as
Speaker 2: Carl Anthony Towns was the free throw line and he
Speaker 2: did acknowledge you there waved you off after he.
Speaker 4: Made both Towns. Yeah, the Wall was bringing it tonight.
Speaker 4: That was very good.
Speaker 2: The Scaredy with a picture of Karl Anthony Towns Scaredy
Speaker 2: Cat poster board pretty good. I like Karl Anthony Towns.
Speaker 2: I know he's going through a hard time. He had
Speaker 2: a knee injury then was out for personal reasons. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Cat's a good one. I like him. But he had
Speaker 2: an off night and the Clippers defense had a non night.
Speaker 2: But that should not be an on off switch. The
Speaker 2: defense should always be on, like that's one of those
Speaker 2: light switches that's taped on at all times. Okay, usually
Speaker 2: I think they're taped off, but maybe you're painting around
Speaker 2: it or something. It's that defense needs to be there
Speaker 2: because the last fifteen games heading into this one, the
Speaker 2: Clippers haven't been nearly good enough on that end. They've
Speaker 2: been basically a bottom ten defensive team. They're too good
Speaker 2: on the season.
Speaker 4: They're number three, which.
Speaker 2: Tells you how good they have been overall to still
Speaker 2: be number three when your last fifteen games you've been
Speaker 2: a bottom ten defense. Some people are bringing Dumers here
Speaker 2: saying it's hardened show. I watched the interactional lot with
Speaker 2: him and Kawhi tonight because Harden just had fifty.
Speaker 4: Kawhi just came back.
Speaker 2: And I've been talking about that theme of how to
Speaker 2: run your offense, and I do think you need to
Speaker 2: run through Kawhi. I think it was much more balanced.
Speaker 2: I think they were trying to get him more involved.
Speaker 2: There were more set plays going to Kawhi. James Harden
Speaker 2: came up to him at the free throw line in
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter and gave him a little tap on
Speaker 2: the chest, come on, let's go. Kawhi was struggling with
Speaker 2: his shot. I like seeing that encouragement there from his teammate.
Speaker 2: Kawhi with twenty on six of eighteen shooting. But defense
Speaker 2: was really good in the fourth Hussell was really good.
Speaker 2: Watched the tape of Kawhi in the fourth quarter, just
Speaker 2: isow him on some of these plays. That's probably the
Speaker 2: best he's looked this season defensively. So the Clippers improved
Speaker 2: to thirty four and twenty nine. They're currently eighth in
Speaker 2: the West, behind Minnesota by a game. As they won tonight.
Speaker 2: That was unfortunate. They won by two in Miami. The
Speaker 2: other team that won is right behind them in the
Speaker 2: Sacramento Kings. They took out San Antonio now with dearon Fox.
Speaker 2: Fox only went six of seventeen six from three sixteen points.
Speaker 2: Sack lavine at thirty six and guess what. The Clippers
Speaker 2: host the Kings. Hear it into a dome on Sunday.
Speaker 2: Huge game. The Kings are a half game back of
Speaker 2: the Clippers. The Clippers have won the first two games
Speaker 2: in the head to head series this season, meaning if
Speaker 2: they win on Sunday, they will have the head to
Speaker 2: head tiebreaker over Sacramento. Huge, huge game, tip off at
Speaker 2: six thirty pregame at five point thirty Sunday night, biggest
Speaker 2: game of the season to date. Because of the playoff
Speaker 2: implications here, they need to get that tiebreaker. They need
Speaker 2: to create more distance between themselves and the Sacramento Kinks,
Speaker 2: who have been playing much better balls seven and three
Speaker 2: their last ten. The new group has actually been buying
Speaker 2: in coming into this game. I believe over their last
Speaker 2: handful or so they've been top ten in offense and defense.
Speaker 2: I'll have a guest on tomorrow from Sacktown to help
Speaker 2: preview that ballgame on Clippers sock on the YouTube side.
Speaker 2: Before we get out of here, I do want to
Speaker 2: think the Clippers organization Ralph Lawler, Brian Seeman, know Go,
Speaker 2: Carlo Jimenez on the call paper, the Jake Warner our
Speaker 2: head engineer. Hear it into a Dome, Daniel West, our producer,
Speaker 2: back in the bank till Sunday with the King's Taken
Speaker 2: on your LA Clippers. Here it into a dome pregame
Speaker 2: show starting at five point thirty. I've met a Maza,
