Speaker 1: La Clippers.
Speaker 2: The game is ended.
Speaker 1: Gather around boys, time to recap.
Speaker 2: But the post game coverage is just getting started.
Speaker 3: The successes the failure.
Speaker 2: Let's discuss this is Clippers locker room breaking down today's
Speaker 2: action with the pre and post game voice of the Clippers.
Speaker 2: Here's a A Moss.
Speaker 1: Lad Clippers were up big and hold on late. He're
Speaker 1: at ends to a zome over the Utah Jazz with
Speaker 1: a final of one sixteen to one oh five. Welcome
Speaker 1: into your postgame show. I'm at a Moslims coming up.
Speaker 1: We got second half highlight your postgame box score. But
Speaker 1: first let's get back to your radio voice of the
Speaker 1: Clippers in Carlo Jimenez. Carlos some sweet string music early
Speaker 1: on by this Clippers team, but they were tested a
Speaker 1: little bit, pushed only up by seven after leading by
Speaker 1: twenty plus. The Utah Jazz made a run and the
Speaker 1: Clippers were able to answer it late and hold on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Utah pushed that game to within seven
Speaker 4: in the first It was the closest it had been
Speaker 4: since the first quarter. At him late in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 4: but the Clippers were able to hang on. I thought
Speaker 4: they should resiliency, I thought they showed that they're a
Speaker 4: team that can hang their hat on the defensive end.
Speaker 4: Despite the three point shooting at him being pretty abysmal
Speaker 4: today for this Clipper team, that didn't matter. I mean,
Speaker 4: they were still able to come away with the victory.
Speaker 4: If you can win games without knocking down threes at
Speaker 4: a high rate, that shows how versatile and effective you
Speaker 4: can be on a night.
Speaker 5: To night basis.
Speaker 4: The Clippers not reliant on the three ball, and it
Speaker 4: was a good fun win I think a win they
Speaker 4: needed to get back on track at him.
Speaker 5: Another great victory here at home.
Speaker 4: They've won four in a row in this building, with
Speaker 4: a chance to make it five tomorrow.
Speaker 5: But just impressive all the way around. Anytime.
Speaker 4: Norman pal Ofvitsa Zubots and James Harden scored twenty points.
Speaker 4: I'm feeling good that Clippers have an opportunity to come
Speaker 4: away with a win.
Speaker 1: I really liked the game plan of playing through of
Speaker 1: eatsa zoo Bots a lot more, especially when they needed
Speaker 1: some big buckets late they went to him, whether or
Speaker 1: not he was making them or passing it and swinging
Speaker 1: it around the perimeter. I mean, Kevin Porter Junior made
Speaker 1: some unbelievable passes in this ball game. Being a connector
Speaker 1: out there closing late. It wasn't Derek Jones Junior with
Speaker 1: the starters. It was KPJ in place of him, and
Speaker 1: I thought it gave them a little bit more juice
Speaker 1: on ball. But KPJ tonight, I think this was easily
Speaker 1: his best game as a Clipper so far as he
Speaker 1: was looking to pass first instead of looking to score first.
Speaker 4: Yeah, part of a Clipper team, Adam. That was excellent tonight.
Speaker 4: Thirty assists for the Clippers. They believe they had twenty
Speaker 4: six to the first three quarters Porter Junior, with six
Speaker 4: of them on the ledger. Only James Harden had more.
Speaker 4: He was comfortable, he was efficient. Adams six for nine today.
Speaker 4: One of his threes was a heave at the end
Speaker 4: of the half. The other one was a heave right
Speaker 4: before the shot clock. So really Adam in shots that
Speaker 4: Kevin Porter took in the flow of the offense that
Speaker 4: weren't Hail Mary's at the end of a shot clock
Speaker 4: or the end of the quarter.
Speaker 5: He was six for eight.
Speaker 4: Today with twelve points effective on the glass, and the
Speaker 4: ball moved with him, it didn't stop with him. I
Speaker 4: think That's something that Porter Junior started with earlier in
Speaker 4: the year, because, as James Harden mentioned in Houston, they
Speaker 4: weren't necessarily trying to win a championship when he was
Speaker 4: there the first couple of years. They were just playing basketball,
Speaker 4: trying to improve. Well, this is a team with championship aspirations.
Speaker 4: He looked like he was more comfortable in the flow
Speaker 4: of the offense today than ever before.
Speaker 5: Throughout the season.
Speaker 1: James Harden finished with twenty points on seven or fourteen shooting,
Speaker 1: an efficient night for him, but eleven assists to zero
Speaker 1: turnovers and of course making a little bit of history
Speaker 1: along the way.
Speaker 5: Yeah, big time three for James.
Speaker 4: Congratulations, another notch on a legendary ledger of achievements for
Speaker 4: James Harden as he passes Ray Allen for second all
Speaker 4: time in careers threes career three's made. But also Adam
Speaker 4: just gets back to playing James Harden basketball. Like you mentioned,
Speaker 4: eleven assists, no turnovers, twenty points. He was efficient from
Speaker 4: the field, he got downhill, he found zubots, two blocks,
Speaker 4: two steals today for stocks for James Harden. That's big
Speaker 4: time stock up on James's defense. I love it for
Speaker 4: James Harden and for this Clipper team, they were feisty.
Speaker 4: They forced a lot of turnovers in this one nineteen
Speaker 4: for the Utah Jazz, and they played a balanced attack.
Speaker 4: Everyone who came in scored significant minutes. How about Mobomba,
Speaker 4: I mean, talk about a debut. He looks like he
Speaker 4: could be a game trainer for that Clippers second unit,
Speaker 4: not only with his defense, but with his offense. He
Speaker 4: was eating up every rebound and came away with nine
Speaker 4: points and eight boards.
Speaker 1: I think he did all of that in just the
Speaker 1: first half alone. He was special. Shot out of a cannon.
Speaker 1: Looked like a guy that hadn't played NBA basketball in
Speaker 1: a while, and that he was just chomping at the
Speaker 1: bit to get some real minutes out there. Look good
Speaker 1: in the G League, Look good tonight here for the Clippers.
Speaker 1: In his debut. That was a heck of a debut.
Speaker 1: This is a guy who can be a very stabilizing
Speaker 1: force at the backup center spot. We talked about it
Speaker 1: a lot in the pregame show, but I know he
Speaker 1: missed a couple of three pointers, but the energy was
Speaker 1: very infectious out there.
Speaker 4: It was it was his ability to get downhill to
Speaker 4: be active underneath the rim, to come away with deflections
Speaker 4: and stay tall on defense. I thought he added an
Speaker 4: extra presence at him. He just looks more experienced and
Speaker 4: more polished than Kai Jones. Kai obviously only one NBA
Speaker 4: season under his belt. Mobamba has played five plus years
Speaker 4: in this league, and it looked that way today. He
Speaker 4: knew how to be in the right spots. He played
Speaker 4: well off of James. Feels like for the Clippers that
Speaker 4: two man punch of Bomba and Zobots in the pick
Speaker 4: and roll. You talked about it on Clipperstock at YouTube
Speaker 4: at clipperstock where you better subscribe. But the pick and
Speaker 4: roll numbers for James Harden had been lower than people expected,
Speaker 4: had been lower than last season, in which the Clippers
Speaker 4: as a team were bottom five in the league and
Speaker 4: pick and rolls per game. Maybe Mobomba re energizes the
Speaker 4: pick and roll for this Clipper team.
Speaker 1: One more guy who I felt like had a bounce
Speaker 1: back night. Even though he was just six of seventeen
Speaker 1: from the floor, he did knock down four to three
Speaker 1: pointers and had ten of his nineteen points in that
Speaker 1: first quarter. That would be storming Norman Powell. He looked
Speaker 1: a lot more comfortable out here tonight. Back it into adum.
Speaker 4: Anytime norm is aggressive early and is effective early, you
Speaker 4: feel like he's gonna have a good game. He led
Speaker 4: the Clippers first player in double figures with ten in
Speaker 4: that opening quarter, finished with nineteen. I thought he took
Speaker 4: all the right shots and he got up eleven threes
Speaker 4: and onlyly hit four. But again, Norman Pound needs to
Speaker 4: shoot more threes. He is Tompton in the NBA in
Speaker 4: three pointers made and he has the lowest amount of
Speaker 4: three winners attempted among those top ten guys per game.
Speaker 4: If Norman pal is getting up eleven threes, the Clippers
Speaker 4: have a high chance to come away with a win.
Speaker 4: He was aggressive, he was effective, and he finished with
Speaker 4: nineteen points, had a chance for twenty at the free
Speaker 4: throw line. Great game from Norman Pale, a super balanced
Speaker 4: attack for this Clipper team today. Chris Dunn pours in
Speaker 4: eleven as well. He knocks down three threes after going
Speaker 4: one for seven in Houston, Adam, big bounce back game
Speaker 4: for him. Really, everybody played well across the board, and
Speaker 4: a big tune up game for this Clippers team, who's
Speaker 4: got a tough, tough Golden State team the number one
Speaker 4: seed out West after OKC lost to Dallas today, waiting
Speaker 4: for them tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Clippers second half of the back to back, they're taking
Speaker 1: on the Golden State Warriors. As Carlo mentioned, right back,
Speaker 1: you'red into a dome. Tiptime for that game is at
Speaker 1: seven thirty. We'll have your pregame show starting at six thirty. Carlo,
Speaker 1: my guy, great call is always, let's do it again tomorrow.
Speaker 5: I'll do it tomorrow, Adam. Let's go.
Speaker 1: Clippers come through with a bounced back victory. The losing
Speaker 1: streak is over. They win one sixteen to one oh five.
Speaker 1: Here it into a dome over the Utah Jazz coming
Speaker 1: over next second half highlights right here on the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 6: Clippers.
Speaker 2: You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball. Take us with you
Speaker 2: wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: Clippers went big back at home. They take down the
Speaker 1: Utah Jazz one sixteen to one oh five. And it
Speaker 1: wasn't even that close. Okay, the Jazz did get it
Speaker 1: to within seven points late, but the Clippers would pull
Speaker 1: through at the half. They led sixty six to forty
Speaker 1: five over Utah in that third quarter oh, I loved
Speaker 1: what I saw. It was Aviatza Zubos being featured over
Speaker 1: and over again.
Speaker 5: In eighty six sixty seven.
Speaker 4: Clippers leads to reach fifty five to play in the
Speaker 4: third and the starters are playing longer minutes trying to
Speaker 4: earn rests. They play tomorrow against Golden State. Norm Street
Speaker 4: to line.
Speaker 5: Jumper isn't there, but it eats the Zoo Box is
Speaker 5: doing his part for the planet.
Speaker 4: Here reekcankles of the right hand to push you on
Speaker 4: zuboxing on your block, wing on one.
Speaker 5: With you Banks, everybody on the other side of the floor.
Speaker 7: Big Zoo going to where left leaf their rolls through
Speaker 7: through you Banks is too small and Big Zoo handing
Speaker 7: out weight room work.
Speaker 5: Ninety four to seventy two Clippers thirteen.
Speaker 4: Second separate shops game pun Harden doesn't look like he's
Speaker 4: gonna hurry.
Speaker 5: He dribbles and finds Normans down, drives it up.
Speaker 4: Here come Zoo too, and it finished and the Clippers
Speaker 4: will have two seconds on the other end.
Speaker 1: Big Zoo with ten points in the third quarter alone,
Speaker 1: the Clippers opened things up. They added to their lead.
Speaker 1: They were up twenty two heading into the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: It was ninety six to seventy four, but this Utah
Speaker 1: Jazz team was not given up. Shot star to fall.
Speaker 1: Lori Markn and knocked down a couple of three pointers,
Speaker 1: but Chris Dunn hit the biggest three of the ballgame.
Speaker 4: The Jazz a bucket away from making this game clutch.
Speaker 4: After the Clippers rough twenty three.
Speaker 7: Done right corner triple, Jack Pott and our Clippers back
Speaker 7: up double digits, one thirteen to one oh three kick
Speaker 7: pj fifth assists.
Speaker 1: Of the night clutch three there from Chris Dunn off
Speaker 1: the pass from Kevin Porter Junior, who had just had
Speaker 1: his best game as a Clipper. Chris dunfinished with eleven KPGA,
Speaker 1: with twelve and six assists off the bench. Clippers win
Speaker 1: one sixteen to one oh five in the front end
Speaker 1: of a back to back. Tomorrow night, they're taking on
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors. Right back here. Coming up next,
Speaker 1: we'll get to your post game box score. Right here,
Speaker 1: I'm the Los Angeles Clippers audio. With that the.
Speaker 6: Clippers.
Speaker 2: You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball, Take us win you
Speaker 2: wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: Final score. Your Los Angeles Clippers won sixteen the Utah Jazz.
Speaker 1: What O five here it into a dome. Welcome back in,
Speaker 1: I'm out of Moslin. This is your Clippers top post
Speaker 1: game show eight six six nine eight seven two five
Speaker 1: seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy
Speaker 1: if you want to get on in the very next segment,
Speaker 1: Clippers end up shooting forty nine percent from the field,
Speaker 1: just eleven of forty from three. That's twenty eight percent.
Speaker 1: I'm actually encouraged by that. They still hit a timely
Speaker 1: won late. You heard that big make from Chris Dunn
Speaker 1: kind of was the dagger shot for the Clippers. But
Speaker 1: the most important number in the box score is nine.
Speaker 1: I'm referring to only nine turnovers by the Clippers. It
Speaker 1: is their lowest amount on the season. Meanwhile, the Utah
Speaker 1: Jazz had nineteen. That's the difference of the ballgame. Clippers
Speaker 1: turned that into twenty two points. They led by as
Speaker 1: many as twenty three. It was down to seven late
Speaker 1: the Jazz made a run. They were not giving up,
Speaker 1: even on the second night of a back to back
Speaker 1: for them, as they lost a close one to the
Speaker 1: Kings last night. But the Clippers ran through the tape
Speaker 1: big shots late, Chris Donne that three pointer, James Harden
Speaker 1: a dunk that put him up by twelve with two
Speaker 1: twelve left, and the Clippers would hold on to win
Speaker 1: one sixteen to one zero five And our night where
Speaker 1: beats a Zubas led them in scoring? Where did I
Speaker 1: tell you feed the beast? Twenty two and eleven is
Speaker 1: what he had and I don't even think had his
Speaker 1: best game. They still missed some good looks. James Harden
Speaker 1: twenty points seven to fourteen shooting, eleven assists to zero
Speaker 1: turnovers plus six boards. It's a stat line no Clipper
Speaker 1: has ever had before. Thanks for letting me know that
Speaker 1: one chat. I appreciate you. Norn Powell with nineteen points,
Speaker 1: six of seventeen shooting and off the bench. Kevin Porter
Speaker 1: Junior his best game as a Clipper, twelve points, six assists,
Speaker 1: It could have easily been ten. Guys were missing some
Speaker 1: good looks that he created for them. Loved this game
Speaker 1: from Kevin Porter Junior was a past first player and
Speaker 1: playmaker out there. Clippers would win one, sixteens a one
Speaker 1: oh five. Hear it into it Dome tomorrow night. They're
Speaker 1: right back here taking on the Golden State Warriors tip
Speaker 1: off is that seven thirty pre game at six thirty
Speaker 1: outside of Los Angeles. We were leaving you until then.
Speaker 1: Kevin up next here on a five seventy LA Sports
Speaker 1: we got Clippers.
Speaker 2: Stop and with that, just like that, another Clipper broadcast
Speaker 2: is ended.

Speaker 3: Postgame at follow Adam a adam Ousley.
Speaker 1: Clippers, led by as many as twenty three, they hold
Speaker 1: on to win late one sixteen to one oh five
Speaker 1: over the Utah Jazz. Here it into its home. Welcome
Speaker 1: back and welcome back to their winning ways. Here, Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Clippers. After losing three straight, they are victorious tonight,
Speaker 1: back at home I'm Ada Moslims. This is Clippers Talk
Speaker 1: on a five to seventy LA Sports and at Clippers
Speaker 1: Talk on the YouTube side. Eight six six nine seven
Speaker 1: five seventy eight six six nine seven two five seventy
Speaker 1: is the phone number if you'd like to get on
Speaker 1: unnecessary victory for the Clippers. With how tight things are
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference, the Utah Jazz are down right now.
Speaker 1: They were on a back to back. You have to
Speaker 1: take advantage of that. You had to find a way
Speaker 1: to win this game. Now. You would have liked the
Speaker 1: starters to get more rest, but credit Utah, they kept playing.
Speaker 1: They weren't giving up in this one, and it took
Speaker 1: the Clippers knocking down some big shots late finally to
Speaker 1: hold on and a twenty three point lead. So just
Speaker 1: that cushion they had against the Utah Jazz was enough.
Speaker 1: But I thought there were some really good performances tonight.
Speaker 1: I haven't talked about Amir Coffee yet. Some of the
Speaker 1: defense he played on Jordan Clarkson was elite, The on
Speaker 1: ball defense and just that one on one staying in
Speaker 1: front of her man taking up that challenge of defense
Speaker 1: from a mire. Coffee was special tonight. I know you're
Speaker 1: not gonna see that in the box score. You'll just
Speaker 1: see the seven points two of six from the field.
Speaker 1: But a mere Coffee's defense was absolutely special tonight. And
Speaker 1: Jordan Clarkson as always a Clipper killer. He still got
Speaker 1: it going in the fourth quarter as he does. I
Speaker 1: was somewhat expecting it. He just turns into the flamethrower
Speaker 1: on sometimes Jordan Clarkson is that good. He's a tough
Speaker 1: shot maker out there. But we talk about good offensive
Speaker 1: process of Eatsa Zubats, playing through him more, finding him
Speaker 1: early and often. To me, that's the key to this
Speaker 1: Clippers team and the way they have to play. And
Speaker 1: they got back to it tonight. They got back to
Speaker 1: playing Clippers basketball. He had a left handed hook to
Speaker 1: start a dunk early on second quarter, a big Zoo block,
Speaker 1: then another dunk, left handed hook shot. But that third
Speaker 1: quarter he put in work. He had ten points in
Speaker 1: the first half. He had ten points on the third
Speaker 1: quarter alone Ofviatza Zubats. He looked like a guy that
Speaker 1: got his groove back in that third quarter. He had
Speaker 1: a tip in, he had a great pass to KPJ
Speaker 1: for the reverse dunk. The plumbley dunk as you guys
Speaker 1: in the shat called it the lefty hook over. U
Speaker 1: Banks dunk off a Norman Powell pass, and then late
Speaker 1: in the ballgame had a key two points too, still
Speaker 1: missed two free throws late. Didn't like seeing that. But
Speaker 1: this Clippers team, they just they have to stack up
Speaker 1: wins no matter how you get them. Would you love
Speaker 1: to see them run through the tape and not have
Speaker 1: to bring their starters back in late? Yeah, they got
Speaker 1: a game coming up tomorrow that could come back to
Speaker 1: hurt them, come back to haunt them. Starters minutes. Norm
Speaker 1: Powell was at thirty five, James Harden at thirty four,
Speaker 1: Aviatsa Zubots at thirty two. There could be some tired
Speaker 1: legs tomorrow because the backups, unfortunately weren't able to hold
Speaker 1: on to that lead. When they went with Mobamba, a
Speaker 1: Mere Coffee, Terrence Man out there, Kevin Porter junior, Niko Batoom.
Speaker 1: I thought there were very good moments from the backups.
Speaker 1: I mentioned Amir Coffee and Kevin Porter junior. Terrence Man
Speaker 1: would eventually knock down a three, find his offense a
Speaker 1: little bit more after I thought early on the ballgame,
Speaker 1: he just didn't look right, he's not first coming off
Speaker 1: the bench, so this is a tough role for him
Speaker 1: right now. He only ended up playing thirteen minutes. He's
Speaker 1: got to take advantage of all those minutes right now.
Speaker 1: Cap Array and the chat said the tone was set early,
Speaker 1: hard and looking to set up the table for others early.
Speaker 1: He got Norm and Derek Jones Junior going early on,
Speaker 1: and the offense started to flow. That's the key, it was.
Speaker 1: The Jazz are also one of the worst defenses, if
Speaker 1: not the worst defense in the league right now, but
Speaker 1: they have been playing better. They're three and three over
Speaker 1: the last six heading into this ball game. They beat Dallas.
Speaker 1: They had a close one last night against the Sacramento Kings.
Speaker 1: Marketing doesn't look quite right yet. Eighteen points, a couple
Speaker 1: of big threes in the fourth quarter that brought the
Speaker 1: game closer. But he just hasn't looked right so far
Speaker 1: early in the season. John Collins just thirteen points. Does
Speaker 1: everybody still won a trade for him? They're still gonna
Speaker 1: give me those PJ. Tucker for John Collins trades, which
Speaker 1: would never happen. I thought the Clippers defense, for the
Speaker 1: most part was very good. They got off to a
Speaker 1: ten zero run to start the game, and it was
Speaker 1: through those turnovers that they were generating over and over again.
Speaker 1: In fact, in the first quarter, Utah had nine turnovers
Speaker 1: leading to twelve points for the Clippers. Clippers led by
Speaker 1: ten after one, thirty five to twenty five. Relentless on
Speaker 1: ball pressure. That's what this Clippers team does best. They
Speaker 1: had to get back to that tonight. They did. You
Speaker 1: can say level of competition, but the Jazz had the
Speaker 1: eighth best offense over their last six games. They were
Speaker 1: shooting it better from the outside, and they had an
Speaker 1: eight oher run to counter the Clippers ten oh run.
Speaker 1: So I think this Utah Jazz team is better than
Speaker 1: their record right now. And if people are gonna downplay
Speaker 1: this victory, I'm gonna say watch the Jazz moving forward.
Speaker 1: I think that's a team to look at because last
Speaker 1: season and the season before, they got off to hot
Speaker 1: starts and then they cooled off. This season, they started
Speaker 1: zero to six, got off to a slow start, but
Speaker 1: they have been playing better second n half a back to
Speaker 1: back not easy, and for the most part, I'm proud
Speaker 1: of the way the Clippers asserted themselves early on, looking
Speaker 1: to take control feed off of the energy here it
Speaker 1: into It Dome, the wall that had market and missed
Speaker 1: a couple of free throws while he wasn't even facing
Speaker 1: the wall. Love some of the chances that we're out
Speaker 1: here tonight. Cliper Nation. Patch yourself on the back. It's
Speaker 1: a good win for this Clippers team right now. You
Speaker 1: have to get victories against what people deem lesser teams
Speaker 1: right now. They still lost a game to Portland. Hear
Speaker 1: it into It Dome. They still have one they need
Speaker 1: to get back now. They are back at seven and seven,
Speaker 1: five hundred, but they're also on a back to back.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow they're taking on the Golden State Warriors. We don't
Speaker 1: know the status yet of Steph Curry if he's playing
Speaker 1: in that ballgame, but I like the energy and the
Speaker 1: spirit the Clippers played with defensively. The turnover game was
Speaker 1: the difference twenty of them make it nineteen, leading to
Speaker 1: twenty two points for the Clippers. With the Utah Jazz
Speaker 1: and those nineteen turnovers, and the Clippers finally took care
Speaker 1: of the basketball after averaging around seventeen per game heading
Speaker 1: into this one, almost cut it in half nine turnovers.
Speaker 1: Clippers also were better in the paint. Sixty four points
Speaker 1: in the paint. That's defeats a Zubos. That's what he
Speaker 1: does for you. And those are possessions that wear on
Speaker 1: the defense. When Big Zoo starts rolling and leaning on
Speaker 1: guys and getting some easy buckets to go, it is
Speaker 1: taxing for the opposition. Those can really affect you and
Speaker 1: compound on you. I love seeing a Vitza Zubas being
Speaker 1: featured again. Norman Pale got off to the quick start
Speaker 1: also ten points in that first quarter, finished with nineteen.
Speaker 1: Eventually cooled off, but pal three point from the left wing,
Speaker 1: three pointer from the right wing, a couple of other
Speaker 1: buckets in that first quarter. Just the aggressiveness was back.
Speaker 1: They needed that. Norman Powell has to get back to
Speaker 1: scoring around twenty per game, and you had him, James Harden,
Speaker 1: and a Viza Zubos all off in that last game
Speaker 1: against Houston. It's no wonder they lost big, but I
Speaker 1: think twenty one points. It's just this is the DNA
Speaker 1: and makeup of this Clipper team. This is who they
Speaker 1: have to be, This is who they this is how
Speaker 1: they have to play out there. Tonight it happened. We'll
Speaker 1: take a quick time out we'll come back. We'll get
Speaker 1: your phone calls at eight sixty six nine eight two
Speaker 1: five seventy. Eight sixty six ninety seven two five seventy
Speaker 1: is the phone number. Clippers win one sixteen to one
Speaker 1: oh five on the front end of a back to back.
Speaker 1: Here it into It, Dome. I'm at a mazand and
Speaker 1: you're listening to Clippers Talk on a five to seventy
Speaker 1: LA s fours.
Speaker 6: The l Clippers.
Speaker 2: You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball. Take us with you
Speaker 2: wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: Slippers win one sixteen so one oh five. Hear it
Speaker 1: into it Dome, Long Beach is ome Judo Dojo on
Speaker 1: the way in the title of this one is Audios Emilio,
Speaker 1: Audios in the Utah Jazz. Not easy, second night of
Speaker 1: a back to back, Clippers led by as many as
Speaker 1: twenty three, but it was the seven point game with
Speaker 1: about three minutes left. Biggest shot of the was just
Speaker 1: talking about an off air to the chat at Clippers
Speaker 1: Talk on YouTube, but at Chris done three pointer. We
Speaker 1: played it for you. And that was all created by
Speaker 1: Kevin Porter Jr. Who was in past first mode tonight
Speaker 1: against the Utah jass This is the best game he
Speaker 1: has played all round, game scoring wise, an efficient twelve points,
Speaker 1: six of nine shooting. Almost had that three at the
Speaker 1: end of the third quarter that was waved off eventually,
Speaker 1: But to me, it's what he was doing passing the basketball,
Speaker 1: six assists to one turnover, finding others, making his teammates better,
Speaker 1: and that passing was infectious throughout the night for this
Speaker 1: Clippers team. They had thirty assists to nine turnovers, better
Speaker 1: than the three to one ratio. Impressive After Carlo jimen
Speaker 1: Has alerted to me that Clippers only had twelve assists
Speaker 1: last game. That was their lowest amount of assist in
Speaker 1: two years. They bounced back in a big way. They
Speaker 1: cleaned up a lot of the stuff that they needed to.
Speaker 1: I'm proud of them now. It would have been nice
Speaker 1: to run through the tape, put this game away and
Speaker 1: the starters not even have to play in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: That could prove to be problematic tomorrow right back here
Speaker 1: against the Golden State Warriors. Those tired legs are going
Speaker 1: to catch up to you. But what was coach Lo
Speaker 1: was supposed to do? It was a ballgame. They had
Speaker 1: to win. All of these games against quote unquote lesser
Speaker 1: competition they have to have this season. So the starters
Speaker 1: come back in, they find a way late get a
Speaker 1: couple of stops after a scorching hot Jordan Clarkson. I
Speaker 1: called him a Clipper killer in the intro earlier, and
Speaker 1: he started to get off shooting wise in that fourth
Speaker 1: quarter where he ended up with sixteen points in the
Speaker 1: fourth Jordan Clarkson, I shorted him earlier saying it was
Speaker 1: only fourteen. Now it was sixteen points for Jordan Clarkson
Speaker 1: in the final period. I thought a mere Coffee played
Speaker 1: some dazzling defense against him, locked him up a few
Speaker 1: different possessions in this game, but he also found him
Speaker 1: on a three pointer after some really good defense early
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, fighting through screens. A mere Coffee
Speaker 1: is not a guy who is looking to lose minutes.
Speaker 1: There's a minutes crunch. There's a lot of guys fighting
Speaker 1: for minutes. A mere Coffee is trying to make sure
Speaker 1: he's getting consistent minutes out there. You can see that
Speaker 1: with his play. Now, a guy I haven't really talked
Speaker 1: about yet here on Clippers Talk, Mobamba his debut. Incredible
Speaker 1: Mobamba in the first half was shot out of a cannon.
Speaker 1: He starts things off his first points as a Clipper,
Speaker 1: a dunk off a great from who else, Kevin Porter Jr.
Speaker 1: Then there was a goaltend that went against Utah. So
Speaker 1: we had four points in the first minute and a half.
Speaker 1: I think out there on the court, second quarter Mobama
Speaker 1: and one off a pass from Kevin Porter Jr. Then
Speaker 1: some great defense near the end of the first half
Speaker 1: with a steal. Was playing to his size, was playing
Speaker 1: big out there and at the half, Mobamba. Listen to this.
Speaker 1: Mobamba at the half in ten minutes, had nine points
Speaker 1: and eight boards, four of eight shooting, missed a couple
Speaker 1: of three pointers. That's basically what he finished with. Wasn't
Speaker 1: as maybe uh the win caught up with him. The
Speaker 1: lack of cardio, the lack of reps at this level
Speaker 1: caught up with him. He didn't look as spry in
Speaker 1: the second half. But this is big for this Clippers team.
Speaker 1: If you could just have a consistent, rely eyable, stabilizing
Speaker 1: force at the backup center position, that's huge. That's something
Speaker 1: I think a motivated Mobamba could give you. I know
Speaker 1: he has been consistently inconsistent and there's a lack of
Speaker 1: motor that has contributed to him now just being on
Speaker 1: a veteran's minimum. But with Jeffvan Gunny coaching him up
Speaker 1: with Tylu, I think they might be able to get
Speaker 1: more out of Mobamba. I am hoping. Cap Ross said
Speaker 1: Harden even had a dunk. Yeah, it was a big
Speaker 1: one too, to put him up twelve late after the
Speaker 1: lead was down to seven. But this is exactly what
Speaker 1: I wanted to see from Obamba. Just play with more energy,
Speaker 1: more spirit. Sometimes getting in the right situation, that change
Speaker 1: of scenery can change everything for a player. He's still
Speaker 1: only twenty six. He's not a fully finished product. If
Speaker 1: you can get him to play harder at a high,
Speaker 1: higher consistency level, then you're getting a better player. As
Speaker 1: for what it means for kai Jones, it's likely what
Speaker 1: we thought coming into the season. When Mobama's back, he's
Speaker 1: the backup center. He's a much more proven player in
Speaker 1: this league. Kai Jones will likely be getting reps in
Speaker 1: this Z League soon as long as Mobamba stays healthy.
Speaker 1: But with the Clippers next five games being very difficult,
Speaker 1: starting tomorrow against Golden State, then Orlando, then Sacramento, then
Speaker 1: Philly then Boston both of those last two on the road.
Speaker 1: This was as close as you can get to an
Speaker 1: early season must win, at least in the month of November. Honestly,
Speaker 1: you have to get this one. You want to finish
Speaker 1: somewhere six through ten in the West. This is a
Speaker 1: necessary victory and they still have one. They need to
Speaker 1: get back that loss of the Portland Trailblazers. I haven't
Speaker 1: forgotten that they still got a make up for that somewhere.
Speaker 1: A win against Golden State tomorrow that would give them
Speaker 1: two wins against the Warriors, who were playing like the
Speaker 1: best team in the West. That would go a long
Speaker 1: way to make it up for that loss to Portland.
Speaker 1: Himothy says, we are going to play the Warriors in
Speaker 1: Magic the next two games. Both teams are top five defenses,
Speaker 1: so that's a good way to judge him. Mobamba, Melvin
Speaker 1: Powell Junior said, Mobamba is legit. Again, it's one game,
Speaker 1: but it's a great start. Mobamba has it in him
Speaker 1: to be better in this league. If he's just more
Speaker 1: consistent period, that's all it takes. And tonight great effort.
Speaker 1: That first half. The crowd was behind him, everybody was
Speaker 1: into his play. He was electric. But I know his
Speaker 1: rap sheet, I know his reputation, I should say, and
Speaker 1: how fans feel about him in past cities he has
Speaker 1: played in. As soon as I said, Mobamba playing with
Speaker 1: a high motor right now, I said, the exact tweet was,
Speaker 1: this is what I'm talking about. When Bamba plays with
Speaker 1: the motor out there, he can be better than Plumbley
Speaker 1: was last season, which is all I'm asking from him.
Speaker 1: Be better than Plumbley was last season. And Betsy Chase
Speaker 1: money on X said, quote when he plays with a
Speaker 1: motor unquote is a very important qualifier because it's not
Speaker 1: often that has been the knock on Mobamba. Can the
Speaker 1: Clippers get more out of him? Can they get a
Speaker 1: more energized Mobamba? That's it. The skill set is high.
Speaker 1: I know he missed a couple of looks from three
Speaker 1: badly tonight, but I'm still counting on that because he's
Speaker 1: taken over seven hundred in his career and he's a
Speaker 1: thirty six percent shooter from the outside, and it was
Speaker 1: at least good to see because I'm guessing the coaching
Speaker 1: staff said, yeah, that's what you do, so take them.
Speaker 1: If he can help spread the floor, stretch the floor
Speaker 1: at all with the second unit. That would be big
Speaker 1: because that opens up driving lanes. If the backup big
Speaker 1: guarding him has to come out and d him up
Speaker 1: on the perimeter, that opens up the paint more. He
Speaker 1: also was rolling to the basket nicely. Guys were finding him.
Speaker 1: Kevin Porter's junior James Harden, so I have high hopes
Speaker 1: from Obamba and having his best stint in this league
Speaker 1: as a member of the Clippers. Melvin Powell Junior said,
Speaker 1: you made a great point. Mobamba is going to benefit
Speaker 1: from playing for ty Lew and Jeff Van Gundy Fia
Speaker 1: fire Budgie uh Jonathan Ning pointed out that Harden was
Speaker 1: able to get to the paint more than usual. Saw
Speaker 1: that tonight and once again congratulations to James Harden. Six
Speaker 1: minute mark of the first quarter. Zach o'caldy, maybe we
Speaker 1: could pull up the call from Carlo Jimenez here as
Speaker 1: James Harden made some history tonight from distance. This happened
Speaker 1: early on in the ballgame. Here's James Harden.
Speaker 5: The clips fines. Terry Jones Junior back to Harden on
Speaker 5: the right end. Doesn't shoot the three crosses over a triple.
Speaker 7: A is up, Jenny puts it in James Harden, the
Speaker 7: LA Kid solidifies his place among the grades.
Speaker 5: The Beard passes Ray Allen and moves to second al
Speaker 5: time in career threes.
Speaker 1: Made James Harden special with the three ball because this
Speaker 1: is somebody who you know, the majority of his threes
Speaker 1: are self created. He's not catching shoot guy, He's not
Speaker 1: the bounce guy. Those threes are tougher. You're going to
Speaker 1: shoot a lower percentage on those typics. And it speaks
Speaker 1: to his longevity and skill set and the work he
Speaker 1: has put in and the professionalism to get to this point.
Speaker 1: We are you second all time now in NBA history
Speaker 1: in May threes, only behind who else but Steph Curry,
Speaker 1: who I'm looking for an update on chat if you
Speaker 1: got one for me with Steph Curry on if he'll
Speaker 1: be playing tomorrow. I would love to hear it, because
Speaker 1: obviously that is quite a factor in a game against
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors, whether or not Steph Curry plays now.
Speaker 1: The Clippers took him down in just their third game
Speaker 1: of the season up north at Chase Center in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: That was the second night of a back to back
Speaker 1: they've won in Denver the day before. Again, they're playing
Speaker 1: him the second night of a back to back, and
Speaker 1: Steph Curry left that game. Clippers were up by I
Speaker 1: think nine when he left in the fourth quarter. I
Speaker 1: don't think it would have made a difference. I mean
Speaker 1: it could have. It's Steph Curry, but he wasn't playing great.
Speaker 1: Popers were on one and they got that victory. And
Speaker 1: that's the only team I believe that has won up
Speaker 1: at Chase Center. You're Los Angeles Clippers. So whether it
Speaker 1: was a one off or they match up well against
Speaker 1: Golden State because they have so many good on ball defenders,
Speaker 1: you gotta feel like, Okay, maybe a back to back,
Speaker 1: but we've seen this happen before where they take down
Speaker 1: Golden State. Anyways, who's going to be at the rest advantage?
Speaker 1: The Beard is a legend, preach here on the chat,
Speaker 1: we got Ray doing a little bit of research for us.
Speaker 1: Checking hoops hype right now, Melvin Powell Junior said, man,
Speaker 1: I can't wait Untilkawhi Leonard returns. The Clippers are going
Speaker 1: to be really tough. Whose minutes are he going to
Speaker 1: cut into with coffee Batoom or Derreck Jones Juniors? Well, right,
Speaker 1: off the bat, Chris Dunn will likely be the guy
Speaker 1: who's out of the starting lineup. I'm gonna guess they
Speaker 1: can Derek Jones Junior in there at the three with
Speaker 1: Kawhi at the four, so you could say Chris Dunn
Speaker 1: will lose out in some minutes. I think Jeremy Mormon
Speaker 1: said Curry Mee is listed as questionable for Monday's game.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Ray, he had it as well. James Harden
Speaker 1: historic night. Cool to see that in person. This is
Speaker 1: somebody that I don't think anybody had foreseen this coming
Speaker 1: out of Arizona State, a so cow guy to end
Speaker 1: up being second old time in three pointers made. Is
Speaker 1: anybody ever gonna catch Steph? Probably not, but James Harden
Speaker 1: does it a little bit differently. Steph does a lot
Speaker 1: off the bounce too, but more catch and shoot stuff
Speaker 1: than James Harden at least. I mean that step back
Speaker 1: three is lethal. Let's change the game the way guys play.
Speaker 1: You see, Luka doncis now that system basketball where James
Speaker 1: Harden has always been great at elevating the floor for
Speaker 1: teams during the regular season and getting them far more
Speaker 1: victories than I think most would believe they'd be able
Speaker 1: to get to just elevating guys around him. People are
Speaker 1: talking about Buddy Heal has been hot, So even without Steph,
Speaker 1: it'll be tough, says Cap Ray. We roll and said
Speaker 1: we need to harden Curry Jersey suat for most threes. Ever,
Speaker 1: that would be cool. I like that, Ray said. Om
Speaker 1: Young with Suke reported that Seth Curry has listened as
Speaker 1: questionable with left knee versidas against the Clippers from Monday's game.
Speaker 1: So Om Young Wassuke, who has been on the show
Speaker 1: here on Clipperstock m seven MD boys said one a
Speaker 1: six Man of the Year and then twelve years later
Speaker 1: he is second old time in threes. That's a good point.
Speaker 1: And he was the third and fourth option at times
Speaker 1: and ok see, and then he starts running his own
Speaker 1: team in Houston to great success. I know they never
Speaker 1: won it at all, but probably only because they ran
Speaker 1: into the Golden State Warriors with Kevin Durant when they
Speaker 1: were at their best. They ran into the ultimate super team.
Speaker 1: Absence said, Man is only playing thirteen minutes, so he'll
Speaker 1: be pushed out of the rotation when Kawhi comes back.
Speaker 1: Man is the last guy off the bench. I don't
Speaker 1: think Man is just gonna completely follow the rotation. Guys,
Speaker 1: he just got a contract extension. If you're saying trade Man, well,
Speaker 1: I mean if he's not even playing, that's going to
Speaker 1: crush his trade value. Yeah, Terrence Man needs to be better.
Speaker 1: I've been disappointed with this play so far this season.
Speaker 1: I did like the fact that after missing a three
Speaker 1: pointer in the second quarter, he came back with a
Speaker 1: little fade away, got that to go, and then in
Speaker 1: the second half knockdown three. I think it was was
Speaker 1: an early fourth quarter. Yeah, three in the far side corner.
Speaker 1: Bamba also found Man out of a time out for
Speaker 1: an easy one. That was good to see Mobamba passing.
Speaker 1: Malcolm Maxwell says at Clippers Talk, Zoo had a nice
Speaker 1: bounce back game today. Clippers will be fine with their
Speaker 1: defense and passing the ball more like tonight. Thirty assists
Speaker 1: to nine turnovers on real Yeah. Tom van Dyke points
Speaker 1: out how Zoos still had to play thirty two minutes,
Speaker 1: but Bamba filling in for fifteen was huge. I think
Speaker 1: Tom Van Dyke told me Zu bought sweet spot is
Speaker 1: twenty six minutes. I disagree, thirty plus minutes per game
Speaker 1: this season. They need him He's too crucial for this
Speaker 1: team right now. Without Kawhi, it's not just about Zoo's defense.
Speaker 1: He has to be a staple on the offensive end.
Speaker 1: We'll take a quick time out. We'll come back. We'll
Speaker 1: hear from Big Will Updyke, next from Clips and Dip.
Speaker 1: I'm out of Osland live from into it Dome. Come
Speaker 1: through and bounce back. Much needed victory over the Golden
Speaker 1: State Warriors. Excuse me, that's future victory tomorrow tonight over
Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz. Let's be taking out of the Golden
Speaker 1: State Warriors tomorrow right back here at into a dome.
Speaker 1: Amuta Mazlin, And you're listening to Clipperstock. You're on M
Speaker 1: five seven E LA Sports.
Speaker 6: Clippers.
Speaker 2: You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball. Take us with you
Speaker 2: wherever you are on the iHeartRadio a app.
Speaker 1: Clippers win by a final score of one sixteen to
Speaker 1: one oh five. Here it into a Dome over the
Speaker 1: Utah Jazz. The losing streak is over. They're back to
Speaker 1: five hundred and at seven and seven. Welcome back in.
Speaker 1: I'm Auta Maslin. This is Clippers talk. Whether you're listening
Speaker 1: on AM five seventy E LA Sports, or on the
Speaker 1: YouTube side at Clippers Talk. Appreciate you guys chat. We'll
Speaker 1: get back to you here in a second, but now
Speaker 1: join the show is big. Will Updyke from Clips and
Speaker 1: dip Fame. Will, it's a win. Thanks for coming on.
Speaker 8: Hey, thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 1: It's the win.
Speaker 8: Glad to be back on. Had a kind of extended
Speaker 8: absence there. Clippers, you know, for the most part, incapable
Speaker 8: of playing an unexciting game and let this one almost
Speaker 8: get away, made it, made it, made it a little
Speaker 8: interesting for themselves.
Speaker 1: Agree with that. More from Will updeg in just a moment,
Speaker 1: but let's pause ten seconds. First FIRS station identification here
Speaker 1: on AM five to seventy l I Sports.
Speaker 2: This is LA Clippers Basketball. AM five to seventy KLAC
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, ninety eight seven KYSR HD two Los Angeles
Speaker 2: and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1: Well, let's start with this historic night from James Harden.
Speaker 1: He becomes second all time on May three pointers in
Speaker 1: NBA history, passed Rayalen by about the six minute mark
Speaker 1: of the first quarter is when he made the historic shot.
Speaker 1: Just speak to James Harden and who he's becoming this league,
Speaker 1: and I mean He's revolutionized things in some ways. Nobody
Speaker 1: else was doing the crazy step back crab dribble stuff
Speaker 1: for James Harden and now second old time in May threes.
Speaker 8: Yeah absolutely, I mean I will say it felt like
Speaker 8: these last ten. I wondered if it felt the same
Speaker 8: for him, like felt a little harder than it naturally
Speaker 8: comes for him. But second all time, I mean it's
Speaker 8: very deserved. You know, you see so many people, even
Speaker 8: huge like spaces of the league now like Luca, who
Speaker 8: are imitating what James Harden sort of pioneered. And it's
Speaker 8: interesting because he comes, you know right after like Stories
Speaker 8: and sort of step currying Klay Thompson completely revolutionized with
Speaker 8: their accuracy and the depths from which they could shoot
Speaker 8: the three. But him just adding the step back to that,
Speaker 8: it's just it's one of those things that's going to.
Speaker 2: Be with the game forever.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 8: It's like the new It's like the new euro Step.
Speaker 8: And I mean you talk about the Eurostep too, the
Speaker 8: way that he kind of pioneered using the gather steps
Speaker 8: to be able to get a little extra runway to
Speaker 8: get to the rim. And you know, I think that
Speaker 8: he's a player that for some reason is kind of divisive,
Speaker 8: and I don't know if that's because of the style
Speaker 8: of play. I don't know if that's because some of
Speaker 8: the stops that he's had as a player. He's kind
Speaker 8: of bounced around teams in the years post Houston.
Speaker 5: But there's no.
Speaker 8: Denying that he's absolutely great. He's absolutely changed the game,
Speaker 8: and that he is, you know, even at this age,
Speaker 8: still in the elite tier of point guards.
Speaker 1: I talked about it a lot the last couple of days,
Speaker 1: but felt like they needed to get back to playing
Speaker 1: through Visa Zubatch much more than they had. Some of
Speaker 1: that is on him not being regressive enough, not asking
Speaker 1: for the basketball enough, and the great defenses they played
Speaker 1: against Houston and against the OKC Thunder, But tonight it
Speaker 1: felt like more of the blueprint for how this Clippers
Speaker 1: team needs to play on the offensive end. To me, Will.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean they were tuned in, and Zue spoke
Speaker 8: to it postgame, like, you know, what sort of made
Speaker 8: them successful if they were able to pack the paint defensively,
Speaker 8: and and you know, when Zoo is taking care of
Speaker 8: things on the defense end, I think maybe he's a
Speaker 8: little bit easier to see on the other end of
Speaker 8: the floor. I'm not really sure, but you generally want
Speaker 8: to reward those guys. But with the sort of size,
Speaker 8: with the sort of seize mismatch, it was definitely a matchup.
Speaker 2: That behooves Vita zoos.
Speaker 8: I just hope these kind of performances are both boosts
Speaker 8: for his confidence to demand the ball a little bit more,
Speaker 8: hopefully continue to finish an efficient rate. And I hope
Speaker 8: it's sort of like a proof of concept for his
Speaker 8: teammates that like, oh, yeah, we got this incredible seven
Speaker 8: footer out there, who is you know, if we keep
Speaker 8: him involved, could be like an all Star caliber guy.
Speaker 1: Off the bench. I felt like, not even relative to
Speaker 1: our expectations or how he has played so far this season,
Speaker 1: but I think Kevin Ford Junior just had a legit
Speaker 1: very good basketball game in all facets, and it started
Speaker 1: with him looking to pass first and it opened up
Speaker 1: a lot of shots for guys. He ended up with
Speaker 1: six assists. I must have counted four or five three
Speaker 1: owners that he created that guys missed out there. I
Speaker 1: thought it was his best game so far as the Clipper.
Speaker 8: Easily definitely his most complete game as a Clipper we've
Speaker 8: seen him score more. But this was this was for
Speaker 8: sure his most complete game. And here's the thing. Man,
Speaker 8: at this point, there is enough tape on him that
Speaker 8: I think defenses are are assuming that if the ball
Speaker 8: is in his hands, the possession is going to end
Speaker 8: with him cranking up a shot. So I think that
Speaker 8: him being aggressive as he is only behooved him to
Speaker 8: open up the passing game a little bit more, because
Speaker 8: it's it's not only going to make things easier on
Speaker 8: him and on his teammates, but it's not what the
Speaker 8: I's not what defenses are expecting from Kevin Porter junior.
Speaker 1: Now that's a good point. The scouting report says he's
Speaker 1: putting it up every time, so guys loaded up on him,
Speaker 1: and then he's he's finding the open man. At least
Speaker 1: he did tonight. I like seeing that it felt like
Speaker 1: things were maybe slowing down for him, just the intent
Speaker 1: the process was much better from Kevin Porter Junior. James
Speaker 1: Harden eleven assists by the way to zero turnovers. The
Speaker 1: stat line he put up, I guess no Clipper had
Speaker 1: ever put up four seven of fourteen from the field
Speaker 1: twenty points, eleven assists, zero turnovers plus six boards was special.
Speaker 1: But the Clippers overall ended up with thirty assists to
Speaker 1: just nine turnovers. When they take care of the basketball
Speaker 1: will with the way they can create turnovers on the
Speaker 1: other end, it makes this team much more difficult to
Speaker 1: play against.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I mean it truly can make this team
Speaker 8: look like a special team in stretches. I think like
Speaker 8: the nature of the Beefs is like this is just
Speaker 8: sort of a team that I think optimistically averages. If
Speaker 8: they can get into that like say fourteen to fifteen zone,
Speaker 8: tighten it up just even that much, I think that
Speaker 8: that would be a lot better. You know, I can't
Speaker 8: hope for sub ten. I just don't think that's in
Speaker 8: the DNA of how this team is gonna work. But
Speaker 8: they were. There was definitely more of a conscious effort
Speaker 8: taking care of the ball. I mean, over half those
Speaker 8: turnovers were from the zoo, which you're not gonna see
Speaker 8: that often, so that that's kind of an anomaly there.
Speaker 8: But it is one of those things that it sort
Speaker 8: of is what it is I think with this team.
Speaker 8: But if they can even tighten it up to say
Speaker 8: fourteen a game average on the season, I'm liking what
Speaker 8: that will do for their offense so much more, and
Speaker 8: Norm put it really well, He's like, we just got
Speaker 8: to be getting up a shot on every offensive possession,
Speaker 8: like it can't. Like it's the turnovers that are really
Speaker 8: really killing them when they already have sort of you know,
Speaker 8: like in the modern NBA, which is kind of a
Speaker 8: middling offense.
Speaker 1: And they got up fifteen more shots than the Utah
Speaker 1: Jazz in this one, who ended up with nineteen turnovers.
Speaker 1: Clippers also had fourteen offensive rebounds to nine for the
Speaker 1: Utah Jazz, a guy who had three of those offensive rebounds.
Speaker 1: Now I think all three were off of his own misses.
Speaker 1: But Mobamba look good. Tonight is first time in a
Speaker 1: Clippers jersey. What were your first impressions of him?
Speaker 2: Will you know?
Speaker 8: I was impressed the rebounding and I hope that he
Speaker 8: can keep that up. We talked after the first loss
Speaker 8: against Houston, how I sort of wondered if that would
Speaker 8: turn the tables at all, you know, when they went
Speaker 8: with that all bench unit to close out the game,
Speaker 8: if we hadn't been able to get some Obama in
Speaker 8: in there, what that would have looked like? And and
Speaker 8: I liked it, Like I said, I like the idea
Speaker 8: of just having a prototypical size. They don't necessarily have
Speaker 8: to be the standard mold of what a traditional sort
Speaker 8: of center is in the backup spot. But I think
Speaker 8: the I think the Mobama fits that well. It seems
Speaker 8: like he is a very coachable player. You know, he
Speaker 8: has made a lot of stops, but I do think
Speaker 8: that he is a guy who can fill a role
Speaker 8: and he's you know, he doesn't strike me as a
Speaker 8: guy like you know, maybe I mean only two three
Speaker 8: point attempts. I would say that's the only thing you
Speaker 8: would maybe maybe worry about. You know, He's not going
Speaker 8: to be doing Mason Plumley like behind the back passes
Speaker 8: and not you know, trying to take it end to
Speaker 8: end or anything like that. So I think that it's
Speaker 8: a really really solid backup. With Kai Jong's being completely
Speaker 8: out of the rotation at this point, it's definitely very
Speaker 8: needing for the Clippers. We no Nipa Tumbe can't do
Speaker 8: those center minutes heavy, at least during the regular season.
Speaker 8: So I'm I'm optimistic and I'm excited to see more.
Speaker 1: He is big will Updak clips and dip Will. I
Speaker 1: hope to be talking to you tomorrow night as well.
Speaker 1: Thanks for doing this here on Clipperstock.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, let's get these back to back dubs and back
Speaker 8: to back appearances.
Speaker 1: Quick time out here and then we'll come back. Clippers
Speaker 1: win one sixteen to one oh five over the Utah Jazz.
Speaker 1: Here it into it dumb. Clippers back to five hundred.
Speaker 1: They're at seven and seven. But Will Updyke no on
Speaker 1: Twitter or heard him on Clippers Talk. I thought there
Speaker 1: were some great analysis there. Yeah, teams expecting Kevin Porter
Speaker 1: Junior to take all those shots, which means, you know,
Speaker 1: you load up against him. He finds that open man
Speaker 1: and he did so offend tonight, finishing with six assists,
Speaker 1: his most complete game, as Will Updyke said, as a
Speaker 1: Clipper so far. Slippers win one, sixteen to one oh
Speaker 1: five over the Jazz. More Clipperstock next year on the
Speaker 1: F five to seventy LA Sports Clippers.
Speaker 2: You're listening to LA Clip First Basketball. Take us with
Speaker 2: you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: We on two Slippers are Victoria is back home. There's
Speaker 1: no place like home. There's no place like home. They
Speaker 1: win what's sixteen to one oh five here at the
Speaker 1: end of a dome. Clippernation just showed up in a
Speaker 1: big way again tonight. You got market In to miss
Speaker 1: two free throws away from the wall, but I'm sure
Speaker 1: he still heard it. It's that loud here. I love it.
Speaker 1: God bless Steve Balmer and Clipper Nation for embracing they're
Speaker 1: new and really first home here it into a dome.
Speaker 1: Clippers respond one hundred and sixteen points they put up
Speaker 1: tonight while having an off night from distance, they shot
Speaker 1: just twenty eight percent from three. They were just under
Speaker 1: thirty eight percent from three heading into this one, so
Speaker 1: we'll see. I think they're around a thirty six thirty
Speaker 1: seven percent three point shooting team. Off Kawhi comes back
Speaker 1: sooner than later, then I'm saying, yeah, thirty eight thirty
Speaker 1: nine percent, because he is very efficient from the outside too.
Speaker 1: normOn Pal four of eleven from three, really started to
Speaker 1: cook early in that first quarter as the Clippers got
Speaker 1: back to basics, feed big Zoo. Get Norman Pale rolling
Speaker 1: to his right. He had a three off of steal
Speaker 1: on John Collins. Then he got a three off a
Speaker 1: done steal who then found Norman Powell. Then he had
Speaker 1: a nice sixteen footer making eighteen feet straight away as
Speaker 1: he turned down a three pointer as the defense was
Speaker 1: playing him up close, went around a defender, then just
Speaker 1: got a long two to go. There was another three
Speaker 1: pointer made in the second quarter by Norman Palell where
Speaker 1: it beats a zoobot screen. Collin Sexton completely out of
Speaker 1: the picture. He was on his backside and Norman knocked
Speaker 1: down the three pointer. Third quarter, normOn Palell got up
Speaker 1: for an alley ut from James Harden, one of his
Speaker 1: eleven assists, and boy did he get up used two
Speaker 1: hands for that value. Carlo Amenez I think brought up
Speaker 1: how he was in a dunk contest back in high school.
Speaker 1: Norm Powell has hops at thirty one. Still he has bounce.
Speaker 1: So I'm wondering a couple of things here. People are
Speaker 1: talking about this in the chat now at Clippers Talk, saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: Harden still shot twenty five percent from the three point
Speaker 1: line tonight he did uh? He started what one for
Speaker 1: two and that one make in the first quarter got
Speaker 1: him above Ray Allen for second most threes made all time,
Speaker 1: but still was two for eight? Is it legs? What
Speaker 1: is it now? I can't remember I can't recall what
Speaker 1: he shot in that second quarter, but I will calculate
Speaker 1: it during the break because it's basically guys the second
Speaker 1: quarters that have been tanking his field goal percentage and
Speaker 1: three point percentage. It is six and a half minutes
Speaker 1: that he is averaging playing in second quarters. That is
Speaker 1: careening his percentages. He came into this game eight of
Speaker 1: forty six from the field in second quarters. If you
Speaker 1: take out second quarters, he's shooting forty five percent from
Speaker 1: the field and thirty five percent from three on the season,
Speaker 1: basically his career averages. So I'm just wondering if he
Speaker 1: figures things out in that second quarter. Whatever it is,
Speaker 1: and the starters got back in late in the second
Speaker 1: quarter because the backups were making such a good run.
Speaker 1: Maybe a rotation pattern changes with him not playing as
Speaker 1: much in the first quarter, so he's sitting for far
Speaker 1: less time and that helps him in second quarters. I
Speaker 1: don't know where it is, but it is strange to
Speaker 1: see one quarter tank of guy's efficiency. Is that simple?
Speaker 1: This post from La Murray saying zoo back on track.
Speaker 1: With thirty three minutes played, Mobamba debuted with his fifteen points.
Speaker 1: New second unit intact. Yeah, that second unit. I think
Speaker 1: there were a couple of different iterations we saw, but
Speaker 1: there was one to start I think the second quarter
Speaker 1: that had Mobamba in for Vitza Zubas. Let's see if
Speaker 1: I can find this, So it was Niko Batoum, Terrence
Speaker 1: Man Mobamba. Who else was in? Was Chris Done in
Speaker 1: that second unit? A mere Coffee and I think KPJ
Speaker 1: were the guys out there. So it's really interesting to
Speaker 1: see how things develop here as coach Lou now has
Speaker 1: a ton of different rotations in lineups he can go
Speaker 1: to just by having a different backup center and by
Speaker 1: having Chris is Done in the starting lineup. This was
Speaker 1: just his third game, the first win they have gotten
Speaker 1: since they put him into the starting lineup. Not that
Speaker 1: I'm saying they lost those games in Houston because of
Speaker 1: Chris Done. I don't think that was the case at all.
Speaker 1: But as things evolve here, and this was just Game fourteen,
Speaker 1: we're gonna see different lineups from rotations than we thought
Speaker 1: coming into this season. Things are materializing, and you got
Speaker 1: to shout out coach Lou guys for sticking with Kevin
Speaker 1: Porter Junior for this long as he just had his
Speaker 1: best game as a Clipper, his most complete game as
Speaker 1: a Clipper is will Updyke put it. That's big. His
Speaker 1: confidence has stayed high enough as he has stayed in
Speaker 1: the rotation, and they've given him all this time to
Speaker 1: try to figure it out, to see where he's at
Speaker 1: as a player after missing an entire year. So Kevin
Speaker 1: Bord Junior, tonight, it looked like the game was slowing
Speaker 1: down for him. It looked like for the first time.
Speaker 1: And there have been moments and flashes of this play
Speaker 1: in him over the last week or so, but tonight
Speaker 1: you could really say he was a pass first guard
Speaker 1: out there, a pass first guard looking to get others
Speaker 1: involved first, trying to make the others better, elevating guys
Speaker 1: around him. Capra said, KPJ hopefully becomes that legitimate secondary playmaker,
Speaker 1: so hard and he can get some in game rest
Speaker 1: like tonight to be fresh for the clutch period. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing. His shooting percentages in the fourth quarter have
Speaker 1: been fine. He was shooting fifty four percent from the
Speaker 1: field in fourth quarters. His assistant turnover ratio, though, was
Speaker 1: not Clippers only had three turnovers though total in the
Speaker 1: first half, so just six in the second half. You'll
Speaker 1: take that if you keep it around twelve turnovers or
Speaker 1: less per game, you're in business. It's gonna be tough
Speaker 1: to beat this team because they're likely with their defensive
Speaker 1: prowess turning you over. You win the turnover battle, you
Speaker 1: win the possession battle. And again they were cleaning the
Speaker 1: glass too. It was forty one forty one on the glass,
Speaker 1: but the Clippers had four more offensive rebounds than Utah.
Speaker 1: Just a lot of good signs that they're getting back
Speaker 1: to playing Clippers basketball. Now. If you want to say
Speaker 1: it's just because of the Jazz, don't get too high
Speaker 1: on this win. It's the Utah Jazz. I can understand
Speaker 1: that to a point. But I think with the Clippers,
Speaker 1: they still have to build on those good habits, and
Speaker 1: those Clippers basketball habits, meaning James Harden and Visa Zubos
Speaker 1: working in tandem, them finding Big Zoo early and often.
Speaker 1: That third quarter where he scored ten points and they
Speaker 1: were just featuring him over and over again. That's Clippers
Speaker 1: basketball now. It has to be. They got away from
Speaker 1: it in Houston. It is not an option, I will
Speaker 1: say it again, to get a Beata Zubas involved anymore.
Speaker 1: It is necessary, and you saw it happen tonight. James
Speaker 1: Harden obviously the engine of the offense high assist total
Speaker 1: after having I think just two last game against the Rockets,
Speaker 1: eleven assists, zero turnovers. Now, the zero turnovers aren't always
Speaker 1: going to be there, but ten plus assists or a
Speaker 1: round ten assists football game, that's Clippers basketball. Norman Powell
Speaker 1: putting them up from distance. Carlo event has brought it
Speaker 1: up pregame, but this is somebody that could take a
Speaker 1: few more three pointers considering how efficient he has been
Speaker 1: over the years from there. And he got up eleven tonight,
Speaker 1: hit four of them. I like seeing that number. He
Speaker 1: got up seventeen shots total. He matched the Beata Zubas
Speaker 1: they both got up seventeen. And then Chris it's done.
Speaker 1: Just taking a little bit of that pressure off the
Speaker 1: playmaking duties of James Harden as well now in the
Speaker 1: starting lineup, and I thought he had another really good game,
Speaker 1: and Chris Dunn rarely has a bad game. He had
Speaker 1: that steal and then got his norm for a three
Speaker 1: point in the first then he had a three in
Speaker 1: the far side corner, and then he had a steal
Speaker 1: and score to start the third quarter in a left
Speaker 1: wing three in the third and then maybe the biggest
Speaker 1: shot of the ballgame after the lead was down to seven.
Speaker 1: It was Chris Donne three of six from distance, eleven points,
Speaker 1: four assists, also zero turnovers. It's a great ballgame. Twenty
Speaker 1: five minutes. Might have to play more tomorrow, we'll see.
Speaker 1: It could be Jordan Miller time tomorrow. I don't know,
Speaker 1: because a lot of the starters ended up at plus
Speaker 1: thirty minutes because the Utah Jazz well, they would not
Speaker 1: give up credit to them. And you look at the
Speaker 1: guys that went over thirty No weren Palette thirty five minutes,
Speaker 1: Visa Zubots at thirty three, James Harden at thirty four.
Speaker 1: It's troublesome what happens in one game can affect another. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as many good things as we have talked about, it
Speaker 1: is still disappointing. They weren't able to close it out
Speaker 1: without the starters having to come back in. I think
Speaker 1: that's understandable. There's criticism to be had even in a
Speaker 1: victory because if there's tired legs tomorrow against the Golden
Speaker 1: State Warriors, Steph Curry's questionable, but it's gonna be because
Speaker 1: of what happened late in this game and letting a
Speaker 1: twenty three point lead get cut down to seven with
Speaker 1: three minutes left. So they still need to close better.
Speaker 1: That's been a consistent theme so far this season. Clippers
Speaker 1: win one sixteen to one oh five over the Utah Jazz.
Speaker 1: I think we'll get our last time out here. We'll
Speaker 1: come back, we'll close things out here it into a dome.
Speaker 1: After the Clippers get back to their winning ways and
Speaker 1: they're taking on Golden State tomorrow. We'll talk about that
Speaker 1: matchup coming up next here on Clippers Talk on Ampire
Speaker 1: seventy l A Sports.
Speaker 2: You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball. Take us with you
Speaker 2: wherever you are on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: Clippers win one, sixteen to one five here it into
Speaker 1: a Dome against the Utah Jazz and improved to seven
Speaker 1: and seven on the season. This was the front end
Speaker 1: of a back to back. They'll be taking on the
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors tomorrow. Right back here at into a dome.
Speaker 1: Will Steph Curry play knee bersiitis should think is some
Speaker 1: form of swelling. He's questionable either way, huge ballgame if
Speaker 1: he's not available. Obviously, the Clippers gotta find a way.
Speaker 1: And I know they have played well without Steph Curry
Speaker 1: though so far this season, but Clippers beat him up
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. They're not going to forget that either.
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr and that twelve man lineup, he ghosts to
Speaker 1: the twelve man rotation. I should say, I'm at a maslin.
Speaker 1: This is Clippers talking on the five seventy LA Sports
Speaker 1: and at Clippers talk on YouTube. So I felt like
Speaker 1: that third quarter the Clippers let their foot off the
Speaker 1: gas just a little bit at times. Defensively, it wasn't
Speaker 1: the same intensity we saw in the first quarter. Carlo
Speaker 1: Jimenez and I both felt like, Eh, they're getting a
Speaker 1: little bit locks of days goal. On the defensive end,
Speaker 1: they look like a team that knows they have a
Speaker 1: twenty point lead. Now this happens human nature, but they
Speaker 1: still led by twenty two. They opened up the lead
Speaker 1: by twenty two heading into the fourth. So what happened
Speaker 1: in that fourth quarter to lead to the comeback to
Speaker 1: where it was down to seven with three minutes left. Well,
Speaker 1: here's who was on the floor for the Clippers starting
Speaker 1: off the fourth man bomba a mere coffee. Uh, who
Speaker 1: else do we have here? Kevin Porter Junior. Uh I
Speaker 1: want to say, was Nico out there? Yeah, Nico batoum
Speaker 1: And things started off Okay, it was one four to
Speaker 1: eighty five. It's still a nineteen point lead. At the
Speaker 1: eight thirty mark, the Clippers were fine. They were treading
Speaker 1: water in some ways. You can say the starters were
Speaker 1: not good enough. Now, what people make a mistake of
Speaker 1: doing when they look at plus minus stuff is saying, oh,
Speaker 1: well the backup unit. Look look at how much they
Speaker 1: won their minutes by. Well, the backup unit is going
Speaker 1: up against the other team's backup unit. The starters are
Speaker 1: going up up against the other team's first unit. That's
Speaker 1: the difference. So the Clippers are up by sixteen. Still,
Speaker 1: when Norm James Harden and Aviza Zubats get back into
Speaker 1: the ball game, they didn't do a good enough job closing.
Speaker 1: Some of it was some hot shooting, but there was
Speaker 1: a bad turnover by a Viza Zubats who didn't hold
Speaker 1: the ball high when the double came in the key.
Speaker 1: I didn't like seeing that. There was a steal by
Speaker 1: Jordan Clark's in there. That's just sloppy play. You have
Speaker 1: to be better in that. And now it's one O
Speaker 1: eight ninety seven. The next time out where Chris Dunn
Speaker 1: would come back in for Nico Batoum, who is low
Speaker 1: key in a very, I don't know, light struggle, at
Speaker 1: least a struggle for his standards. Nico Batoum is fantastic
Speaker 1: and rarely ever loses his minutes or rarely ever is
Speaker 1: a negative out there. But they brought back in Chris Dunn,
Speaker 1: so it was starters with KPJ for Derreck Jones Junior.
Speaker 1: They eventually closed things out, but it would be just
Speaker 1: an eight point lead after the lower marketing three pointer
Speaker 1: at the four minute mark. KPJ made a layup on
Speaker 1: the other end, a tough layup by the way, guys
Speaker 1: that KPJ layup at the three forty one mark where
Speaker 1: he levitated in the air for that long. That was
Speaker 1: kind of nuts showing off the athleticism there. That was
Speaker 1: go get a bucket. Somebody get a bucket. We're not
Speaker 1: getting anything easy right now. Vitz Zubas just missed a
Speaker 1: couple of free throws. Somebody create for themselves, and Kevin
Speaker 1: Porter Junior got him back up ten with just flying
Speaker 1: through the lane. But Utah wasn't going away and Jordan
Speaker 1: Clarkson had sixteen points on the fourth quarter and knocked
Speaker 1: down three on the other end, So it's that seven
Speaker 1: point game. So I would say the biggest shot of
Speaker 1: the game came from Chris Dunn, who missed a three
Speaker 1: pointer on a possession, but the Clippers got to stop Keyantae.
Speaker 1: George Wild missed a three pointer, so still a seven
Speaker 1: point game. And then in the two thirty one mark
Speaker 1: off that Kevin Porter junior assist after he sucked in
Speaker 1: the defense as he got the attention drawn his way,
Speaker 1: then he found Kevin Porter Junior for that three pointer.
Speaker 1: I think it was far side corner. Collier missed a
Speaker 1: driving layup Clippers got in transition, Harden makes a dunk.
Speaker 1: I think just his second of the season. Is one
Speaker 1: to fifteen to one to oh three with two minutes left,
Speaker 1: that was all she wrote in all that jazz. You
Speaker 1: could say, YadA, YadA, YadA. The game was over. Clippers
Speaker 1: win one, sixteen to oneh five. I don't know, is
Speaker 1: it good to be tested with this a little bit
Speaker 1: of adversity late. I think you learn more in those
Speaker 1: tough moments than just in blowout victories. But in this
Speaker 1: particular case, when you got the Warriors coming in tomorrow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would love to get greedy poured on and have
Speaker 1: this just be a blowout victory where the starters didn't
Speaker 1: have to come back late in the game. That would
Speaker 1: have been nice. Rock said, So, do we still talk
Speaker 1: about the Jordan Miller era or just wait it out
Speaker 1: and see what happens. I don't know if there was
Speaker 1: a perfect time for Jordan Miller tonight. I think he
Speaker 1: was going to get minutes if the Clippers had held
Speaker 1: on to a twenty plus point lead heading into the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. That's what hurt Jordan Miller tonight. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be shocked though, to see him at all tomorrow against
Speaker 1: Golden State. But again, Ken Boord Junior's playing this well,
Speaker 1: how do you find minutes? To me? They come from
Speaker 1: batoom a mere coffee, Terrence Man, all those guys having
Speaker 1: some minutes shaved off, and therefore you make room for
Speaker 1: Jordan Miller. But it is not an easy thing to do.
Speaker 1: Who's the Clips MVP candidate so far? Jay Felix, Oh
Speaker 1: you're talking about Avitza Zubas oh g is a Laker
Speaker 1: fan in the chat here at Clippers talk on the
Speaker 1: YouTube side, who's still upset about Magic Johnson with that
Speaker 1: assist to the Clippers. Oh, it was the best assist
Speaker 1: in my opinion, with handing them a beats the zoobots
Speaker 1: for Mike Muskala Clippers legend who never played a game, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a fleecing. Rock said, I think the Vets
Speaker 1: are more so locked in man and but tomb But
Speaker 1: I would love a stretch just to see how Miller
Speaker 1: and Kobe Brown look with a chance. I get it.
Speaker 1: There are ways to get Jordan Miller some minutes here
Speaker 1: and there. We just saw it the last two games. Now,
Speaker 1: some of that is because Clippers are down big in Houston.
Speaker 1: That's not necessarily how we want to see the young
Speaker 1: guys implemented. Clippers are down twenty, let's try something else,
Speaker 1: or it looks like they're waving the white flag sometimes.
Speaker 1: But Jordan Miller came into that game when it was
Speaker 1: still relatively close Wednesday in Houston, and the young guys
Speaker 1: made a dentse and had it to within four with
Speaker 1: a minute and a half left and gave a really
Speaker 1: good effort. Stump said. The Clippers relaxing in the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter because up twenty points is a bad habit. But
Speaker 1: I can understand minutes for third stringers, but they should
Speaker 1: wait until five minutes left. I think they were coming
Speaker 1: if the Clippers held onto the lead. Nay G said,
Speaker 1: more offense off the bench is the reason why I
Speaker 1: think Ty should play Miller over Batum or team man. Eventually,
Speaker 1: I could see it happening. I could see Batoom getting
Speaker 1: a little bit of a I don't know, just a
Speaker 1: rest period, a little two week rest period where he's
Speaker 1: playing less minutes because he just hasn't looked as batumish
Speaker 1: the last three games or so. He played eighteen minutes tonight.
Speaker 1: What if Jordan Miller's playing those eighteen minutes instead, because
Speaker 1: I have no worry about Batum coming back and maybe
Speaker 1: look looking fresher after playing all those minutes in the
Speaker 1: Olympics for France, but coming back and just looking like himself.
Speaker 1: He's a vet. He's turning thirty six in December, like
Speaker 1: he's not gonna lose a rhythm. He's gonna stay ready.
Speaker 1: If Batoum misses some time to implement a young guy,
Speaker 1: he's also going to be rooting for that young guy
Speaker 1: and helping him. And then when they need him, and
Speaker 1: they will because Batoom is an all world role player
Speaker 1: like in NBA history, he is one of the best
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. He just rarely makes a mistake. He'll
Speaker 1: hit the ground running when he comes back. People asking
Speaker 1: what KPJ's ceiling is ceiling We talk about him being
Speaker 1: a poor man's James Harden at times. That's no disrespect.
Speaker 1: James Harden is the second best three point shooter of
Speaker 1: all time, or at least has the second most made
Speaker 1: threes now and his top seventy five player ever Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer like. He has some of that to his game,
Speaker 1: where he can control an offense, but he needs to
Speaker 1: be smarter about it and balance when to look for
Speaker 1: his own shot and when to get others involved. And
Speaker 1: tonight he was spectacular in that area. Can he build
Speaker 1: off of it? Can you do it again tomorrow? KPJ
Speaker 1: got to close out this game for a reason. I
Speaker 1: love the way Coach Lou has been using his rotations.
Speaker 1: Who's hot tonight, who's playing the best? You're gonna close
Speaker 1: that simple. I don't think Coach Lou's got nearly enough
Speaker 1: credit for the way he has managed games so far
Speaker 1: this year. The way he has taken those sense of
Speaker 1: urgency timeouts when he doesn't like something and they don't
Speaker 1: get back in transition like we saw in the fourth.
Speaker 1: I think he's been damn near perfect with pushing the
Speaker 1: right button at the right time, but KPJ. He's been
Speaker 1: far from perfect so far this season. But this is
Speaker 1: the best game he's played in the Clippers' uniform. And
Speaker 1: I'm hoping this is the start of something because little
Speaker 1: by little he we've been looking a little bit better
Speaker 1: and better. Tonight, you really put it all together in
Speaker 1: his most complete performance so far. That was really encouraging. Guys.
Speaker 1: Ray said, side note, can we never play the Calves
Speaker 1: this season? They're fifteen or no? Shout out Bob Schmid
Speaker 1: his Cavaliers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they refuse to lose.
Speaker 1: We roll and said, yeah, can we drug test the
Speaker 1: whole Calves franchise? There's no way I thought they'd be
Speaker 1: good this year. I didn't expect this. I did not
Speaker 1: expect this. What's the record for the longest win streak
Speaker 1: to start a season? Do they have it? Or is
Speaker 1: that like the Lakers team that won thirty three straight
Speaker 1: back in the day. I don't know, but the Calves, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Slippers are probably lucky they don't have to play them.
Speaker 1: I think till like Marsh, maybe they'll cool off by then.
Speaker 1: Slippers wins tonight. Let's see if they can stay hot.
Speaker 1: They got a game coming up tomorrow. But they win one,
Speaker 1: sixteen to one oh five over the Utah Jazz here
Speaker 1: and into a dome tomorrow that'll be facing the Wow
Speaker 1: the Okay, big big brother Jake just gave me this.
Speaker 1: Guess who they're facing The Golden State Warriors, who I
Speaker 1: should have guessed have the longest winning streak to begin
Speaker 1: a season at twenty four straight wins. That was during
Speaker 1: their seventy three game win season in the fifteen to
Speaker 1: sixteen year Big Brother Jake with the number. Thank you,
Speaker 1: big Bro. I think it was a good night for you, right,
Speaker 1: great night, Great night. Okay, Chargers one Clippers win. We're
