We stood incredibly hot shooting from the Houston 13 00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:32.679 Rockets where they were twenty of forty from three as 14 00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:35.200 the Clippers matched from going nineteen of thirty seven from 15 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.439 the outside and would win here. Add into a Dome. 16 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.119 The Dome is home one thirty four to one seventeen 17 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.320 over the Houston Rockets. The Clippers have won six straight. 18 00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:49.600 They have won sixteen of nineteen. They are searching with 19 00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:53.439 just two games remaining in the regular season, and they 20 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:55.840 close out the regular season here and into a Dome, 21 00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:02.079 winning thirteen of their last fourteen games here. They ended 22 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:07.400 up going thirty and eleven in their new home. They 23 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:09.640 are in this position currently in the five spot in 24 00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:15.439 the West. Without this home court advantage, without the wall, 25 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:24.359 the swell, without Clipper Nation embracing their new and first 26 00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:32.959 ever home Thank you, Steve Balmer. It worked, it was successful, 27 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:35.680 and I can't wait to see what it looks like 28 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:39.000 in a playoff setting. That's what I'm looking forward to next. 29 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:43.040 But the Clippers still have work to do. They got 30 00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:45.719 help tonight from San Antonio off a Harrison Barnes game 31 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.239 winning three pointer up in San Francisco to beat the 32 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.319 Golden State Warriors. That means if the Clippers can win 33 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.280 in Sacramento on Friday, even if Golden State beats him 34 00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:59.439 on Sunday, they can't move ahead of them in the standings. 35 00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.560 Huge implications there with that loss tonight by at Golden 36 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.879 State Warriors. In this win by your LA Clippers six 37 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:14.639 straight sixteen of nineteen, they have been top two in 38 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:19.560 offense and defensive rating over the last eighteen games heading 39 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:23.560 into this ballgame, and they was stood a fifty three 40 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.840 point shooting night from the Houston Rockets. No, they didn't 41 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:30.199 have all their guys, they were resting, but Reed Shepherd 42 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:37.240 went off. He had twenty They had six to three pointers. 43 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.360 I mean he hit a three pointer in the face 44 00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.960 of Kawhi Leonard just unconscious. Jeff Green went for his 45 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.520 season high of nineteen, four of six from the outside, 46 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:51.240 Aaron Holliday sixteen, four of six from the outside. They 47 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:57.080 rose to the occasion. They're tough the Clippers, though they 48 00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:03.400 matched them, they didn't let up. Nothing is more encouraging 49 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:07.120 from this Clippers team than playing the way they are 50 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:13.960 leading into the playoffs and consistently not having letdowns. Right now, 51 00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.719 even when a team shoots fifty percent from three, the 52 00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:26.280 Clippers don't have a letdown. Incredible Clippers. In that first quarter, 53 00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:32.680 I thought they could pull away early. James Harden was 54 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:37.680 found on a three pointer and at one point they 55 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:42.960 led by ten at twenty two to twelve. But the 56 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:47.000 Houston Rockets weren't going anywhere, and they would show that 57 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:50.840 hot shooting early in the first where by the end 58 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:56.159 of the quarter after a holiday three, even though hard 59 00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.080 would match him with a three pointer. On the other end, 60 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:05.400 I read chep three a turnover, a Shepherd steal for 61 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:07.960 an easy one, and the Clippers, after leading by ten 62 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.759 in the first quarter, are only up thirty six to 63 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:15.800 thirty five. You could tell right away this was different. 64 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:25.879 Houston started seven of ten from three. They were scorching hot. 65 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.600 I believe they would then go one for their next eight, 66 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:37.319 but the three ball would return Nko Batoum, who I 67 00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.680 just saw, who was walking around here on the court. 68 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:44.040 Hear at into a dome or near it and said 69 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.160 postgame he's good. After not playing in the second half 70 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:53.519 after a groin issue some soreness, Niko Batoum gave them 71 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:58.720 a huge lift. They needed all of his fifteen points 72 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.959 in the first half, where he cooked and went four 73 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.600 a five from three, He got fouled on one for 74 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.639 a four point play. He made another three. Eventually it 75 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.519 was reviewed, they took it away. They called it a 76 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:18.360 two pointer. An incredible lift from Saint Nick because after 77 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:20.839 the Rockets got a three to start the second quarter 78 00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.120 from Jeff Green and it hit seven of their first 79 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.120 ten from the outside. Then it was Nico's turn. He 80 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:29.959 hit a three to make it thirty nine thirty eight. 81 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:34.199 Clippers another three forty two to thirty eight. Kawhi misses 82 00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.680 a floater and then Nico gets fouled on a three 83 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:41.800 on the same possession, gets the four point play. Clippers 84 00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:45.839 up by six. My goodness, though Jeff Green then hits 85 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:49.439 another three. They started eight to thirteen from three. The 86 00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:52.920 Clippers are seven of thirteen they're matching them. They have 87 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:56.759 been playing like anything you can do, I can do better. 88 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:02.120 Whatever it takes, we don't care. But Tom hit another three. 89 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:04.839 Then on the right wing forty eight to forty two. 90 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:13.120 Clippers Tate leap for Houston. Four point game. Then we 91 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.839 saw Kawhi get busy a little bit. Near the end 92 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:21.120 of the second quarter. The Clippers led fifty four to 93 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.279 forty eight. It's a six point game. Avitza Zubas heads 94 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:26.839 to the free throw line, hits a couple. Is an 95 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:32.720 eight point game. Kawhi gets a rebound and goes hard 96 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:40.160 in transition, splits the defense and just dunks on multiple guys. 97 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.839 Reed Shepherd and Dante were there, didn't matter. Kawhi another steal, 98 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:50.480 missed a three, but then Harden gets a steal and 99 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.240 Kawhi leonards still on the other end, cherry picking long 100 00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:58.839 outlet pass from Harden, Kawhi layup eight oh run sixty 101 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:04.240 to forty eight. Kawhi was playing with force and had 102 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:08.399 six points in the final three minutes of the second quarter. 103 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.879 Started to wake up. He also found Aviasta Zubas on 104 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:15.319 a nice pass for a push shot, but the Clippers 105 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.839 eventually went on an eighteen to two run. During that 106 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.560 stretch I'm talking about, Harden found Zoo for a big dunk. 107 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.680 They're up sixty six to fifty. Eventually they're up sixty 108 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:29.879 eight to fifty off an eighteen to two run. By 109 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.360 the end of the half, after it was just a 110 00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:36.279 four point game, they were up seventy one to fifty eight. 111 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.959 Then we got the bad news though, with Nico sore 112 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.079 right growing out for the remainder of the ball game. 113 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.199 He was critical in the first half. He gave him fifteen. 114 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:52.480 He did enough, said postgame he'll be good. Harden floater 115 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:56.480 to start the third quarter, Harden fouls gets fouled on 116 00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:02.120 a three to four point play seventy seven fifty eight. 117 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:07.879 Then after a steal by eathen On Kawhi for a 118 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.959 runout layup far too easy seventy seven to sixty two. 119 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:16.920 Kawai comes back, turns the corner on one of the 120 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:21.360 better defenders in the league, Atari Easton, who a lot 121 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.319 of people have compared to Kawhi Leonard. He turned the 122 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:27.600 corner on him something fierce and threw it down with 123 00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:33.679 a right handed dunk. Dun Will miss a three on 124 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:38.519 the other end, but dounk came into this ballgame hitting 125 00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:41.159 eighteen of his last thirty nine from the outside, so 126 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.000 now it's nineteen of his last forty from three over 127 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:51.240 his last eleven games Houston. Though, even with the Clippers 128 00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.639 playing this well, even with their hot shooting, they just 129 00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:01.360 refuse to go away. There was a wild player, a 130 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:04.360 no call on a dangerous play that I couldn't believe 131 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:09.679 in this ballgame where Harden got stripped by Nate Williams 132 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:15.480 and Whitmore got clipped by DJ in transition on a dunk. 133 00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:18.360 He fell to the ground awkwardly. I was glad he 134 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.240 was okay. It was a no call. It was kind 135 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.320 of unbelievable, and it led to a Chris Dune three 136 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.919 on the other end, and the Clippers had their biggest 137 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:29.679 lead at eighty six to sixty seven in the third. 138 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:34.360 Nineteen was their largest lead in the ballgame. They called 139 00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:36.600 a time out right afterwards and then went more cut. 140 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:41.279 A lob Zu got a floater off a hardened feed 141 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.279 in the pick and roll to make it eighty eight 142 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:48.480 to sixty nine. But then Bogie came in for Chris 143 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:51.120 Dunn at the five point thirty mark. Bogey starwed this 144 00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:55.559 ballgame zero for four, and you could see they ran 145 00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.120 a play to him right away. When he came back 146 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:00.279 late in the third, he got a reverse leg up. 147 00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:05.120 Ninety two to seventy five. Clippers rockets three, ninety two 148 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:08.440 to seventy eight. Harden lobbed to Zoo, but he couldn't corral. 149 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:12.480 It was a little bit too high. Aaron Holiday hits 150 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.039 a three. He's about to go on a run. It's 151 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.000 ninety two and eighty one. Clippers were just up by nineteen. 152 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:26.279 Timeout Clippers DJ lefty floater. It's Zubot's hardened DJ. Kobe 153 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:31.120 Brown in and Bogeye on the floor. Aaron Holiday scoop layup. 154 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.240 It's a nine point game. Zoo gets to his double 155 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:41.080 double at this point, his thirteenth in a row, longest 156 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:46.399 streak of his career double double wise. Kobe Brown then 157 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.960 gets a layup going to his right after the Clippers 158 00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.279 went over two minutes scoreless to make it ninety four 159 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:59.519 to eighty three. Aaron Holiday three again, This is not 160 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.879 the Hall Day vacation I was looking for. Holiday made 161 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:06.759 it ninety four to eighty six, Clippers DJ three to 162 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:10.200 answer it, Holiday lay up the other way. What an 163 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:16.159 Aaron Holiday score here, two, three, five seven. He had 164 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:19.639 ten points in the span of like two minutes for 165 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.840 the Houston Rockets. Late in the third quarter, Hardwood goes 166 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:24.960 to the free throw line, hit both as the Clippers 167 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.879 were nineteen of nineteen to the charity stripe, and then 168 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.200 Kobe Brown after he got the layup, hit a three 169 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:36.240 pointer one O two eighty eight. This was the best 170 00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:40.519 sequence I would say of his career so far. They 171 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:42.960 needed him. It's the second I have of back to back. 172 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:47.120 NK goes out viatzuz Zubas played heavy minutes last night, 173 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:53.840 and Kobe Brown answered the bell. He rose to the occasion. 174 00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.000 Jock Landale hit a three on the other end to 175 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.440 answer it. Bogey hit a three to answer that, and 176 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.759 the Clippers are up fourteen at one five to ninety 177 00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:06.480 one entering the fourth. Aaron Holiday three to start the 178 00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:09.399 fourth quarter. It's one O four to ninety five. Then 179 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.240 a careless Chris Dunn turnover in the backcourt. Jeff Green 180 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.759 Steel easy runout nine point game. U Banks tries to 181 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:24.039 find Kawhi who's short with it. Kawhi Bogie done, Brown 182 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:25.840 and you Banks are out there to start the fourth. 183 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.559 It is a six point game. After a reed Shepherd 184 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:35.360 three that made it one oh five to ninety nine. Bogee, 185 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:42.399 big game, Bogee big shot. Answers with a three right away. 186 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:44.960 Clippers are up one o eight to one hundred. Early 187 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:49.440 fourth and Kawhi went to the hoop for a huge throwdown. 188 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:52.200 He got fouled. He didn't get the dunk. I believe 189 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.039 it was with his left hand, but oh my god, 190 00:12:57.679 --> 00:13:02.559 the force he came with for that throwdown. It would 191 00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:06.679 have been his best since the dunk on the Celtics 192 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:11.919 last year. He had bad intentions, went to the free 193 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.440 throw line, hit. Both Clippers are up by ten. Bogie 194 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:21.279 gets a steal, gets fouled after Kawhi three. The Clippers 195 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:23.679 are up by fifteen at one fifteen to one hundred. 196 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.080 They're starting to gain some separation. The game is turning 197 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.080 into triple double watch with Aviatsa zubats. 198 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:34.519 As. 199 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:38.559 The Clippers are up one seventeen to one hundred, and 200 00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:42.360 we'll take even further down here after Harden comes in 201 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:45.200 for Kobe. At the seven thirty four mark, it's won 202 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:51.279 seventeen to one to oh three. Clippers. Kawhi had a 203 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:54.799 possession where he was double team lost the basketball somehow 204 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:59.960 regained it in his balance. It was a wildly impressed 205 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.559 to play from a ball handling standpoint, because I thought 206 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:06.759 he was gonna lose it. They were blitzing and trapping 207 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:08.399 him and trying to get the ball out of his hands, 208 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:11.080 and somehow he was stood that got it back, but 209 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:14.679 then missed the jumper. Green hit a three. It's eleven 210 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:19.279 point game again as Jeff Green Uncle Jeff was hitting 211 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:21.559 knocking him down and had his season high in this 212 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:30.360 game of nineteen and Harden hit a calming right elbow jumper, 213 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:34.519 just a silencer shot to put him back up by thirteen. 214 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:41.559 Then Harden had a great feed to Drew u Banks 215 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:46.519 for an easy right handed layup. Kawhi, though, gambled right 216 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.440 afterwards and Jeff Green got by him in transition for 217 00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:54.159 a dunk, but out of a timeout it was a 218 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:57.480 Kawhi layup a bogie three, and the Clippers were up 219 00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.399 one twenty six to one twelve. Late in the fourth over, 220 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.679 and Kawhi almost had another huge putback dunk on a 221 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.080 DJ miss on a three pointer on the far side corner. 222 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:10.679 I mean the explosiveness, the bounce, the pop from Kawhi 223 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:15.200 was special tonight now what we're watching is if it 224 00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.480 beats A Zubots is gonna end up getting his first 225 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:22.720 triple double. He would off of a three pointer late 226 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:27.840 from Bogee on the left wing, his buddy. They left 227 00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:31.039 him out there to get the triple double. He got it. 228 00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:37.000 Congrats to a Eatsa Zubots. He finished with oh you know, 229 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:42.320 twenty eleven, ten assists, nine to thirteen, shooting first triple 230 00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:45.840 double of his career. As Bogie was so clutched in 231 00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:49.279 the second half after starting four, he would hit five 232 00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:51.399 of his seven shots in the second half and get 233 00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:54.840 to sixteen points, his final three points coming on that 234 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:58.600 three pointer to get Aviatza Zubots his first triple double 235 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:01.519 as he made the assist in the pass over to 236 00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:03.559 his buddy in Bogee and the Clippers go on to 237 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.759 win one thirty four to one seventeen.

They came back of Eaza Zubats, played through 252 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:55.799 a bad first half against Wemby, got the best of 253 00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:58.000 them in the second half, and they came back down 254 00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:00.279 twenty six to get their first ever victory. Hear it 255 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:05.720 into a home that got things started. They've now won 256 00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:09.759 thirteen to the last fourteen here and they went thirty 257 00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:12.920 and seven after losing the first four games. Into a home. 258 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:15.680 The Dome is home. There's no place like dome. The 259 00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:20.200 into a Dome eight six six nine, eight seven two 260 00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:22.519 five seventy is the phone number. The good news is this, 261 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:27.200 Nico Batoum said postgame. He's feeling okay and he'll be fine. 262 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:34.079 Tweet is right growing, Tweet is growing. Coach lou said, 263 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:36.279 not sure yet on how severe the right growing injury 264 00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:39.799 is but Nico said he'll be fine Coach Lou. About 265 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:42.599 Coach Lou on leaving of East zou bots In to 266 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:46.039 get that triple double postgame quote, Yeah, I usually don't 267 00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:48.480 like doing that bad karma, but he had a chance 268 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:51.000 earlier this season and I took him out, so I 269 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:53.680 gave him one more play. That was huge for Zoo 270 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.960 and huge for our team and the morale of our team. 271 00:17:57.359 --> 00:17:59.480 Look at Bogey's face when he hits that shot. He 272 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:03.039 doesn't even care Harry hit the three. He cares that 273 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:05.799 because he hit the three. It gotta beat to Zubas 274 00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:09.799 his first triple double ever and the season. This remarkable 275 00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:13.160 for the Clippers, and especially beats to Zubas individually with 276 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:15.960 his growth, and he talked about it postgame last night. 277 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:19.039 But a lot of this is just bigger opportunity, been 278 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:22.000 waiting for it. He ends up with a triple double. 279 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:28.880 Now unbelievable. Eight six six ninety seven two five seventy. 280 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.559 Jose and Southgate, Jose, you're on Clippers, stop with out 281 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:32.960 of Mazin. 282 00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:36.599 What's up? I don't can hear me? All right? 283 00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:39.880 I got you, Jose, you. 284 00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:41.680 Know how to call it? In last some home game. 285 00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:47.279 All right, Look, PG was gone, car Landon was out 286 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.680 for an unknown amount of games. We start or and 287 00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:52.440 four into a dome. There was a point of time 288 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:54.920 you asked me who do who did I want in 289 00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:57.480 the playoffs? I would say, I didn't care. Just get 290 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:00.160 us there and we're here, baby, I don't care. 291 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:00.359 Ok. 292 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:05.200 See talking about LAC Lakers are fakers. Nuggets will give Kawhi. 293 00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:08.839 Leonard Jordan's gonna give them buckets. Slap clapart. 294 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.759 Asea saying, I don't care who we get in the playoffs. 295 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:18.960 This team's ready. They looked the part. They looked that good. 296 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:23.400 They've won six in a row, they won sixteen of nineteen. 297 00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:28.079 Most importantly during that stretch they have They came into 298 00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:30.039 this game with the top net rating in the league 299 00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:32.079 over that time, and if you're looking at the teams 300 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:33.680 around them, it's all the best teams. 301 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:35.359 They have. 302 00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:40.319 The advanced stats that show they're one of the best 303 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:42.960 teams in the league. Now. Since Kawhi got back to 304 00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:45.960 looking like Kawhi, he had twenty two again, took him 305 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:48.720 twenty two shots to get there, but he missed a 306 00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:51.680 couple of dunks in this game that would have been spectacular, 307 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.680 and he didn't miss him because oh he's thirty three. 308 00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:59.680 He's not the same. He just missed him because the 309 00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:06.200 ones he made were fierce, nasty dunks. The one in 310 00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:08.839 the first half in transition where he split two defenders 311 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:13.400 to throw it down was big. Another one where he 312 00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:15.720 missed a floater a little while after that and then 313 00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:17.400 got his own rebound and threw it down with the 314 00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:19.680 right hand in the first half was big. And then 315 00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:23.559 turning the corner on tari Yeason in the second half 316 00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:29.759 or a right hand and throw down. This is last 317 00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:32.559 year's Kawhi. What did I say all season long? If 318 00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:34.839 he gets back to last year's version, the Clippers are 319 00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:37.880 in business. Yeah, they can contend in the Western Conference. 320 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:41.039 He looks just as good as that stretch we saw 321 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.039 last season where he set the all time efficiency record 322 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:51.920 over thirty games. Special special for the Clippers to be 323 00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:54.960 peaking at the right time to have a chance at 324 00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:57.440 the four to the five spot in the Western Conference. 325 00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:03.200 They're currently fifth, they went out. I don't believe they 326 00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.559 can be worse than fifth. If they get a loss 327 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:10.759 from Denver and went out, I believe they'll be fourth. 328 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:16.319 I say I believe because you know, if you look 329 00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:23.880 at some of the seating implications and who needs to 330 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:26.480 win and who do you need to lose, it's a mess. 331 00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:32.079 I'm looking for Justin Russo for a clarity tweet regarding 332 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:36.599 what the Clippers need now to end up in the 333 00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:42.400 fourth spot or the five spot, because things are still close. 334 00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:46.000 Denver one tonight against Sacramento, where the Clippers will be 335 00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:51.359 on Friday night. Let's take a quick time out. We'll 336 00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:54.759 come back beats. Zubas gets his first triple double and 337 00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:57.039 gave the game ball away to a kid as he 338 00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:01.200 was walking into the tunnel. More assists for Big Zoo. 339 00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:04.319 I guess he knows, you know, I'll get another one. 340 00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:08.480 It's not that big of a deal. With the way 341 00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:11.599 he is blossoming in front of our eyes right now, 342 00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:14.319 I don't doubt it. They had five assists last night. 343 00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:17.599 Clippers win by seventeen over the Houston Rockets. Here it 344 00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:19.880 into a dome. I'm out a Maslems and you're listening 345 00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:22.839 to the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network O. 346 00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:25.960 Thrills it up. 347 00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:29.680 The window finishes in the fowl Los Angeles Slipper Nation. 348 00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.279 This is your home for the LA Clippers. LA Clippers 349 00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:36.119 take us with you on the Ihearts Radio aip. 350 00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:43.759 Clippers win one thirty four to one seventeen over the 351 00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:48.880 Houston Rockets. Here it into a Dome where this place 352 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:53.720 has become an absolute fortress. After starting zero to four here, 353 00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:59.559 the Clippers were winners of thirty of their next thirty 354 00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:03.640 seven games here in their new and first ever home 355 00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:07.160 the Into a Dome. They shoot it well here too, 356 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:12.400 nineteen to thirty seven from three. Rockets shoot it well too. 357 00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:15.880 The Rockets, in all four games this season against the 358 00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:20.960 Clippers have shot no worse than forty eight percent from three. 359 00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:26.039 They are a bottom ten three point shooting team. That 360 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:34.359 is wild. That is just some real bad luck.

It's 364 00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:46.039 just been an amazing year. Kind of echo a year 365 00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:49.799 just saying I went to eighteen home games, I did 366 00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:54.319 not see the Clippers lose, and something really cool I 367 00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:58.880 saw tonight was a couple of spunky radio guys having 368 00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:02.759 a touching moment, taken a picture outside the arena, and 369 00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:05.920 I was just wondering, what's this season meant to you, 370 00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:09.200 and what's it been like experiencing this new arena. 371 00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:14.039 You saw myself and Carlo taking a picture outside the 372 00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:16.599 arena pregame mat I did. 373 00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:18.039 Yeah, we were. 374 00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:20.640 Doing a TikTok video. We were recording for Carlo. 375 00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:23.079 Oh, we should. 376 00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:25.599 Have found you because we were doing a little Clipper 377 00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:29.720 Nation quiz. But to your question, oh. 378 00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:31.400 Dag, I didn't want to interrupt. I thought you guys 379 00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:32.200 were having a moment. 380 00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:37.000 Now, no, no, it's all family with Clipper Nation. Please 381 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:40.240 come up and say hi always. But Matt, I appreciate 382 00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:43.599 the phone call and congratulations on going to eighteen home 383 00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:47.319 games this season and never seeing the Clippers lose. That's 384 00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:53.519 how good they've been. Hearing into it though, this team 385 00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:59.079 means a lot to me, this organization, this season has 386 00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:05.359 been really special. There's work to be done. I know 387 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:07.880 a lot of this is gonna be defined what happens 388 00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:10.759 in the postseason. It's gonna be defined by what happens 389 00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:14.920 in the postseason. But I do want to appreciate how 390 00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:18.279 good this Clippers team has been. They're forty eight wins, guys, 391 00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:23.799 They're ten wins up on where they're over. Under was 392 00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:27.240 set around thirty seven and a half wins. There are 393 00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:34.400 ten wins above that. Just incredible. I can't say enough 394 00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:37.400 about the heart of this team, the way they have 395 00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:42.200 been able to be resilient with only having Kawhi for 396 00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:46.200 thirty five games. Norreon pal has missed twenty plus games 397 00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:49.640 now wasn't able to go tonight right shoulder issue, but 398 00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:54.680 coach lou said he's good, He's all right. Houston Rockets 399 00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:57.160 weren't playing anybody. Clippers saw that they get by. They 400 00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:03.160 did get by Nico, but Toomb's okay. But the growth 401 00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:07.240
