WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:06.200 In. We're taking your calls on the LA Clippers right now. 2 00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:09.039 This Clippers talk on Aaron on Demand. 3 00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:12.720 The Clippers show up, record your chance to react to everything. 4 00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:14.519 Clippers Clippers news happens. 5 00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:16.640 Let me guess it's about Kawhi. 6 00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:19.120 Here we are and now here he is the host 7 00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:22.640 of your LA Clippers free and postgame at follow Adam 8 00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.039 a Adam Ousley. 9 00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.399 I don't know what type of voodoo is going against 10 00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.519 the Clippers whenever they're in New Orleans, but it is effective, 11 00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:34.079 as they lost again to the Pelicans one twenty seven 12 00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:40.640 to one, the seventeen in forty eight. Now make it 13 00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:45.399 eighteen forty eight New Orleans Pelicans. Now I'm Adam Auslins. 14 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.679 Welcome into Clipperstock. First show this season. I believe on 15 00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.000 the Patriot AM eleven fifty when the Dodgers are on 16 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:54.240 AM five to seventy, even if it's spring training and 17 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.799 you know the game is final out as called before 18 00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:00.759 we get on the air, we'll be on the Patriot 19 00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:03.920 AM eleven fifty. So eight seven seven five two zero 20 00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:08.319 eleven fifty is the phone number if you want to 21 00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:10.040 get on. And I know those people that are gonna 22 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:12.359 be frustrated to night after this one, I try to 23 00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:18.599 warn everyone. People are like, save Kawhi for Miami. No, 24 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.879 he should have played against the Pelicans tonight. He was 25 00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.120 their best player because the Pelicans are the more dangerous 26 00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:33.000 team they are. I told you yesterday on Clippers talking 27 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.079 clips and dip. If they have zion, if they have 28 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:42.159 ZJ CJ, they're dangerous. They're a live dog. Do you 29 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:49.239 not know how the Clippers play against this team? Exhibit 30 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.560 a your honor, A one twenty seven, A one twenty lost. 31 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.920 They have lost seven of their last nine games in 32 00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:05.159 New Orleans. Now I believe seven of their last nine. 33 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.240 The way they lost this one though, I mean, there 34 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.520 are so many different ways the Clippers blew this basketball game. 35 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.120 First of all, you don't get down twenty one in 36 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.400 the first half and put yourself in this uphill battle 37 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:23.560 where at the four to twenty five of the second 38 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:28.840 it's fifty five to thirty four Pels. After Jose Alvarado, 39 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.280 who went four or five from the outside, hit a 40 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:35.840 three pointer, they're up twenty one. Just the lack of 41 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:42.439 urgency and the second unit next to Kawhi has not 42 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:49.680 been good enough. They've been pretty poor. Clippers backups in 43 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:54.400 this game, didn't play well enough. The bench scoring wasn't 44 00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:59.080 good enough, especially in the first half. Bogie would hit 45 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:05.599 a big three but then miss others. I just never 46 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:11.360 felt like the Clippers were fully engaged compared to what 47 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:15.800 we just saw at into a Dome the last three games. 48 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.120 It's a completely different team on the road. Road games 49 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.719 are tough no matter what. As handgun two three to 50 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:26.520 two said, we are three and thirteen versus the Pelicans 51 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:30.800 since and since twenty twenty one, three and thirteen against 52 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:36.439 the Pelicans since twenty twenty one. And they shot themselves 53 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:43.000 in the foot again. The Kobe Brown minutes whatever, it's 54 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.560 not why they lost. He got four minutes again. You 55 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.319 can argue not having a true backup big is really 56 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:55.439 hurting them. Not having Ben Simmons is hurting them. Not 57 00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.240 having that small ball unit with Ben Simmons is really 58 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.159 hurting them. Before we even get to Norman Powell. And 59 00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:03.599 it's not like the Pelicans haven't had a ton of injuries. 60 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.840 They don't have Herb Jones, they don't have his Jeante Murray. 61 00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:09.919 This is only like the twenty sixth, twenty seventh game 62 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:16.879 from Zion. The Clippers are missing guys. Yes, the problem 63 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:24.439 was the Pelicans weren't missing threes, some of them tough shots, 64 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.680 some of it. I think it's just not good enough 65 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:35.439 rotations by the Clippers and not coming in and bringing 66 00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:39.000 that defensive mentality. You let a team go for their 67 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.399 season high as seventeen of thirty one, that's fifty five 68 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:45.000 percent from three against you, it's gonna be a long night. 69 00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.040 And even with the Clippers battling the way they did, 70 00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.920 they had it to within ten by the end of 71 00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:59.480 the second quarter. I was happy with that. It felt 72 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.800 like they had momentum after being down by twenty one. 73 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:07.959 After that Jose Alvarado side step three, he hit ridiculous shot. 74 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:15.560 The Clippers made some Hay Kawhi had a steal on 75 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:20.000 CJ then a three. Before that, Zoo had a dunk 76 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:21.800 on a high pick and roll which they didn't run 77 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:27.879 nearly enough. Now the Clippers are down sixteen. Chris Dunn 78 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.519 Steele hardened to Kawhi for a layup fifty seven to 79 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:36.920 forty three, beautiful pass by James Harden, a DJ dunk, 80 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:41.480 a Zoo floater, a hardened three, and it was a 81 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.959 seven to one run by the Clippers to end the 82 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.759 first half had them within ten at sixty one to 83 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.519 fifty one. I think the score was. They start off 84 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.439 the third quarter the way they should have started off 85 00:05:55.480 --> 00:06:01.920 the ballgame. So you don't find yourself in this position, 86 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.680 in this hole that you have to dig out of, 87 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.920 because that takes a lot of energy and you're gonna 88 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.519 have to guard Zion down the stretch. If you are 89 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:14.920 in a close game with the Pelicans, it's the worst 90 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.600 place to be because of Zion. To even he's leaving 91 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:22.800 like he did multiple times, attacking the basket with scoop 92 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:27.959 layups or dunks. But to start the third what a concept. 93 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:31.079 Vita Zubats getting a dunk off a transition pass from 94 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:35.079 James Harden Zoo to Kawhi for a dunk when they 95 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:41.000 doubled him. Kawhi slot cut, easy dunk Zoo hook shot 96 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.879 Zoo to Done for a layup while they're doubling him 97 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.720 and tripling him. At times. The entire offense was being 98 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:55.680 run through a Viza zobots and they got to within 99 00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:01.600 six quick then Nico hit a th They're down three 100 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.319 at sixty five to sixty two. He would then miss 101 00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:13.439 two in a row. The Clippers actually clicked in and 102 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.879 went on a twenty eight to ten run from the 103 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:19.759 end of the second quarter to the three thirty seven mark. 104 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.199 Excuse me, from three thirty seven left in the second 105 00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.519 quarter through the first half of the third quarter, twenty 106 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:34.560 eight to ten run by the Clippers. But I believe 107 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:39.959 the Pelicans went nine of twelve from three in that 108 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.879 third quarter as good as the Clippers offense was in 109 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:47.360 the third. Let me run the numbers here, because I 110 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:55.680 think the Pelicans they pretty much matched them. Let's see here, 111 00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:08.000 make it what six for nine, Yeah, they went six 112 00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:14.560 for nine from three in the third the Pelicans, the 113 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:20.720 Clippers were good, they went they matched them. They were 114 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:27.920 six for thirteen. The Clippers only won the third quarter though, 115 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.639 by two points. You put up a thirty nine spot 116 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:34.399 and you will only win the third quarter by two points. 117 00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:46.240 Why because of this sequence? Hard misses a three Murphy 118 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.559 nails one that was still earlier in the quarter. It's 119 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:54.320 eighty seven all after a hardened layup Murphy. It is 120 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:58.039 a three ninety eighty seven Pels Bogey misses one Murphy 121 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:02.799 a long three got thirty footer. It's ninety three eighty seven. 122 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:09.759 Harden gets blocked CJ three nine oh run Bogie would 123 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:15.120 get nan one, but then Zion with five seconds left, 124 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:22.399 flew up the floor, got an easy bucket, and instead 125 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:27.240 of being a tie game heading into the fourth, instead 126 00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.720 of the Clippers really cutting into that ten point lead, 127 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.519 they only went plus two in the third. They're still 128 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.919 down eight to start the fourth. While we have a moment, 129 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.000 let's pause ten seconds for station identification. Here on the 130 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.799 Patriot AM eleven fifty, this is. 131 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:50.799 LA Clippers Basketball AM eleven fifty k EiV, Los Angeles 132 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:52.279 and iHeartRadio station. 133 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.519 So the Clippers are down ninety eight to ninety heading 134 00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:59.480 into the fourth quarter. The lineup for the Clippers to 135 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:05.279 start the four bogey Amir DJ, Kawhi, Zoo DJ miss three, 136 00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:11.240 Alverado three as Bogi is helping out, doubling Zion late 137 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:16.480 to recover. Amir miss three, Mickavish layup. Clippers down one 138 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.200 O three to ninety, Bogie another miss, Zion a layup. 139 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.639 It's an eighteen to three Pelicans run. They're up one 140 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:29.279 oh five to ninety. The Clippers are doing nothing offensively, 141 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:35.360 Kawhi is not taking shots. I don't know why to 142 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:40.279 start the fourth, I just read you the lineup, it 143 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.000 probably should be Kawhi taking a shot early on or 144 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:55.240 Vitza Zubots. Instead we get DJ missing a three, Coffee 145 00:10:55.240 --> 00:11:02.200 missing a three, Bogie missing a shot, and the Clippers 146 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:10.600 are down fifteen. You have a Viza Zubats and Kawhi 147 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:15.159 Leonard out there, and it's Bogey, Emir and DJ taking 148 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:19.840 jump shots to start the fourth quarter. One of those 149 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:22.480 two guys either didn't demand the ball or didn't get 150 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:31.720 the ball. That's problematic. Now out of the time out 151 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.039 after being down by fifteen, when it was an eight 152 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:42.039 point game, and that all happened quickly. They got down 153 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:49.240 by fifteen in less than two minutes. Amir hits a 154 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.440 three out of a timeout. Zion splits the defense though 155 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:57.519 for a dunk one to seven and ninety three Alvarado three, 156 00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:03.440 and now you're down seventeen. I want to see who 157 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:09.960 took the shot for the Clippers. It was mere Coffee 158 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:13.240 Zoo out an offensive rebounds, he missed two, so Amir 159 00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:15.679 just made of three. Now he misses one, meets the 160 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:19.320 Zubot's offensive rebound, can't get the hook shot over Mobamba 161 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:24.480 Alvarado three. Pelicans drop seventeen with nine to seventeen left 162 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:30.080 in the ballgame. Why are you putting yourself in that position? 163 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:34.159 Why is Kawhy not taking a shot? What is going on? 164 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:41.840 He's out there with limited minutes, He's not to getting 165 00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:45.879 a shot up. He hasn't taken one yet. Three minutes 166 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:52.600 into the period. You're hemorrhaging. Dj would get Na one 167 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.960 to bring it back to fourteen. Pelicans turnover, done three, 168 00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.080 big shot for him, then a done Steele on z 169 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:04.440 as he trapped him with the Vita Zubots. He got 170 00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:08.080 blocked by Zion on the chase down and like the 171 00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.519 entire basketball rolled off of the backboard before he got 172 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.399 a hand on it. It was the most obvious goaltend. 173 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.879 It should have been too, it was Clippers possession. Still, 174 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:23.320 Amir did knock down a baseline fade away. Nine point game. 175 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:28.679 The Pelicans are rattled. Alverado travel on a double dribble 176 00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.080 thanks to Don he had some incredible plays. Zion goes 177 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:39.720 to the bench, Mikovich has a defensive three seconds cold 178 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:42.000 on him. Harden hits the free throw. It's an eight 179 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:45.480 point game. Nine Oh, Clipper run Zubos floater. Hey, they 180 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:49.279 got him the basketball. It's a six point game. Eleven 181 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:56.120 zero run Mikovich. He ends up getting a hook shot 182 00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:01.039 over at Viata Zubats. Clippers backed down by eight, Kawhi 183 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.960 takes a shot. I believe this is his first take 184 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:08.840 of the fourth quarter. Let me see at what point 185 00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:12.519 this was. Correct me if I'm wrong, guys, but I 186 00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:17.799 think his first take came at the six twenty seven mark. 187 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.919 He was in and out on a midi from ten feet. 188 00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:26.679 Kauiet twenty three points heading into the fourth What's going on? 189 00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:34.639 That speaks to just a lack maybe a familiarity out 190 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:41.480 there and consistency of who you're playing through offensively. Maybe 191 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.919 Kawhi was tired, not demanding the ball. Pelicans have another 192 00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:50.320 turnover done floater six point game done. Steal an incredible one, 193 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.320 but threw it off Kawhi's foot as she was trying 194 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.399 to get it up ahead to him. Think Kawhi is 195 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:57.480 a steal on an entry pass to Murphy hard and 196 00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:02.519 layup four point game time out. The Clippers are right there, 197 00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:05.679 but now Kawhi is out at the four to forty 198 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:10.960 three mark. Amir comes in for him. Zuo dj Emir done. 199 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:16.600 James Harden Zion layup, Clippers down six turnover by Zoo 200 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.679 trying to back down Zion. Really the one bad play 201 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:23.519 from beats the Zoo bots. Bad turnover, wrong time, CJ three. 202 00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:31.399 After a Zion offensive rebound, huge shot, Zoo comes back 203 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:34.440 and gets a bucket on Murphy. Seven point game. Murphy 204 00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:37.600 miss three, Harden to the line, hits both five point game. 205 00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:41.360 Kawhi steals it from Zion. I don't know how he 206 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:44.279 ripped that away. DJ goes to the free throw line. 207 00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:52.440 Here is the problem. You are down by five. Winnable game, 208 00:15:53.960 --> 00:16:03.440 elite defensive play on that steal from Kawhi, the game 209 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.519 is there. DJ goes to the free throw line. With 210 00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.960 two thirty three left, it's one seventeen to one to twelve. Pels. 211 00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.759 I mean, Clippers been in worse spots. They just came 212 00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.960 back down seven with a minute forty eight left against 213 00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:22.679 the Kings on the fourth to get to overtime. They've 214 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:26.840 been in worse spots. They're down seven again, down excuse me, 215 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:33.000 They're down five at one seventeen to one twelve. DJ 216 00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:46.559 makes the first four point game, misses the second inexplicably unbelievable. CJ. 217 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:51.039 McCollum misses a three. Kawhi airballs a three pointer Zion 218 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:57.080 unstoppable layup, six point game. Zoo gets fouled now by CJ. McCollum. 219 00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:00.240 Was it hack of Clippers out there? Did they know 220 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:05.039 they were gonna go one for two? This was intentional? 221 00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:12.720 This was planned because Zoom is the second also, and 222 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:20.160 it's a five point game. One nineteen one, fourteen, one 223 00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:25.519 forty two left. Brutal time to start missing your free throws. 224 00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:33.759 Then Kawhi makes a heck of a defensive play. Or 225 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:36.559 excuse me, the Clippers I think done might have tapped 226 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:39.119 it to James. Harden got to Kawhi. He goes for 227 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:42.240 the and one. In transition, there's his first two points 228 00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:47.839 of the fourth quarter. Kawhi's first two points as he 229 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.640 gets fouled by CJ. And that got him down by 230 00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:57.000 three with one fifteen left. He misses the free throw 231 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:06.680 to bring it to within two. Unreal Kawhi foul Zion, 232 00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.079 he would not miss. Five point game. Harden throws a 233 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.079 lob to Zoo when it's broken up. I think by Murphy. 234 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:20.359 Clippers get the stop steal down by five. Harden misses 235 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:27.039 in open three top side above the break three. Jose 236 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:32.880 Alvarado layup, Clippers down seven. They lose by seven, seven 237 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.680 to one. Quick phone call, then we'll take a time 238 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:39.799 out here, Eli and Whittier. You're on Clippers stop without 239 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:41.079 a Mauslind what's up? Eli? 240 00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.279 Oh hey, Adam, Sorry about the noise in the background. 241 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:45.519 Book. 242 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.160 I just want to say, yeah, this is a frustrating game. 243 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.119 But I just want to make a quick mention of 244 00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:53.640 a pattern I've been noticing throughout these losses. And like 245 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:56.400 you said, obviously they don't feature zoo as much. But 246 00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.240 I noticed that even though he's doing very well, like 247 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.640 in that third quarter, they and he has like let's say, 248 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:07.160 one bet turnover or one small mistake, they keep depending 249 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:10.400 on someone else like Hardy. I decided, I don't understand 250 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:11.119 why they do that. 251 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.240 And Laviza zoo Bots is dependent on getting the basketball 252 00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:17.839 from somebody else's. He's not a point guard, so obviously 253 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:21.200 he asks to wait for those entry passes. 254 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:24.799 Oh yeah, well, I guess I th worre like having 255 00:19:24.839 --> 00:19:27.319 an on sense cult through him, like keep having him 256 00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:29.200 be the center of focus. 257 00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:32.279 Well, I don't disagree with you. I've been saying it 258 00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:36.160 for years and especially this season, but for whatever reason, 259 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:38.960 they forget about Zoo. They go away from him, even 260 00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:41.400 as well as things were working in the third quarter, 261 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:43.759 because they went to him. And I appreciate the phone call. Eli, 262 00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:46.079 we're up against the break. Don't be a stranger here 263 00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:48.519 on Clippers Stock eight seven seven five two zero eleven 264 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:51.440 fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty quick 265 00:19:51.480 --> 00:20:00.599 time out come back. Clippers lose in New Orleans loss 266 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:02.359 one twenty seven to one to twenty to the Pelicans. 267 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.960 I'm out of Maslin. This is Clippers stock here on 268 00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:08.400 the Patriot Amblem fifty. 269 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:10.480 I love this team. I never miss a game. 270 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:14.880 You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball free ball, Yes, sir, 271 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.200 right here on the LA Clippers audio network. 272 00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:24.160 Clippers was one of their worst losses of the season 273 00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:33.119 to a team that had just five victories against teams 274 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.440 above five hundred. Now they have one against the Clippers, 275 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:40.640 the now eighteen and forty eight New Orleans Pelicans. They 276 00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:43.359 win one twenty seven to one to twenty over your 277 00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:46.200 Los Angeles Clippers, which is just talking about it at 278 00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:48.960 Clipperstock on the YouTube side with the chat during the 279 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:53.200 time out there. But there were a couple momentum killing 280 00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:59.079 turnovers in the third as the Clippers were rolling. Kawhi 281 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:01.200 just hit a three point to get to twenty three points. 282 00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:04.160 Clippers are down by three hard and three ties the game, 283 00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:07.839 and the Clippers get their first lead off a hardened 284 00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:10.960 to Zoo throwdown at seventy seven to seventy five in 285 00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:14.400 the third quarter. Firstly, the ballgame, I need to see 286 00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:20.359 the time of which that happened, because it felt like, 287 00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:23.000 here we go, the Clippers are in complete control. There's 288 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:30.039 five minutes and eight seconds left in the third, So 289 00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:34.200 the Pelicans would go plus ten the rest of the 290 00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:36.559 way because they were up by eight heading into the fourth. 291 00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:41.319 But Harden had back to back turnovers on a lob 292 00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:48.440 to DJ that ended up in a Brown layup after 293 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:54.079 a Hawkins three pointer, and then there was another turnover 294 00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:59.279 hard and looking for Bogie that did hurt them. I'm 295 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:04.720 not putting this game on James though. There's no one 296 00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:08.319 guy you can just single out and put it in 297 00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:11.200 a neatly wrapped a bow and say this is what happened. 298 00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:15.960 It's this simple. This guy plays better, we win the game. 299 00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:20.400 I could point to multiple guys missing free throws late 300 00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:27.240 that was rough. I can point to the tray Murphy 301 00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:32.799 threes in the third quarter, Zion going coast to coast. 302 00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:36.839 But like, there's some stuff I can live with. Zion 303 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:39.960 is a load there. There are very few guys in 304 00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:41.920 NBA history that could find a way to slow him 305 00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:48.599 down when he's going like that. In transition, he's Barkley 306 00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:52.079 and LJ and Blake Griffin all rolled into one at 307 00:22:52.119 --> 00:23:01.799 times and Shack. Really he's tough to handle. But the 308 00:23:01.839 --> 00:23:07.279 three pointers and the three point shooting. I know some 309 00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:09.839 of these shots were tough, But I didn't feel like 310 00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:13.480 the Clippers were good enough defensively throughout most of the night. 311 00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:18.680 Just didn't they ramped up their defense once they got 312 00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:25.799 down seventeen in the fourth they cost seven turnovers. Here's 313 00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:30.160 a rough stat just saw this from Lot Murray. The 314 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.160 Clippers were fourteen and one entering tonight when they scored 315 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:36.039 one hundred and twenty points this season. At their offense 316 00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:40.359 was good enough, the defense wasn't. They're now fourteen to two. 317 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:44.680 Of course, after losing one twenty seven to one twenty 318 00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:48.240 they overcame being down by twenty one. Then they get 319 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:53.200 down by seventeen. They still had a chance to win 320 00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:55.720 that game, or at least get into overtime. They miss 321 00:23:55.799 --> 00:24:01.640 free throws, They're finding ways to lose. That's hard. We'll 322 00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:03.440 take a quick time out, we'll come back. Eight seven 323 00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:05.960 seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five 324 00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:12.319 two zero eleven fifty. It is difficult to zero in 325 00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:15.039 on one thing the Clippers did wrong because they were 326 00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:17.880 a multitude a myriad of reasons they lost this game. 327 00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:26.200 Not good enough, inconsistent play all round, within quarters, within 328 00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:30.440 back to back possessions, just very inconsistent Bowl game. I'm 329 00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:32.799 out of Maslin. You're listening to Clippers hock here on 330 00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:34.599 the Patriot amleven fifty. 331 00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:42.440 I love this team. I never miss a game. 332 00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:46.799 You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball free ball, Yes, sir, 333 00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:50.160 right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network. 334 00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:55.960 Yeah, the Pelicans weren't missing from three grand theft Alverado 335 00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:02.920 Jose Alvarado, So you I want to know about bad luck. 336 00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:07.759 He is on the season a thirty eight percent three 337 00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:13.519 point shooter. He's good. He's solid four of five, though 338 00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:18.279 last game he did go three of six. Game before 339 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:20.319 that two of seven, one of four, one of six, 340 00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:25.960 one o five, oho of two. His hottest game out 341 00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:30.319 of his last dozen comes against the Clippers. Maybe his 342 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:32.960 hottest game of the season. If you look off percentage, 343 00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:36.480 he made eighty percent of his threes. Let's see if 344 00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:39.240 that's accurate. No, he had a seven per seven three 345 00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:48.000 point shooting game against Cleveland that they lost. Wow, so 346 00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:52.720 some of it's fluky. He's also a good player. The 347 00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:55.920 Trey Murphy thirty foot three after he just knock one 348 00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:01.279 down in the third. That haunts me. I'm outa Oslin 349 00:26:01.400 --> 00:26:04.160 Clippers lose in New Orleans one twenty seven, twenty two 350 00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:08.200 the Pelicans. Let's go to Jose and Downey Jose, what's. 351 00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:11.240 Up, Hey, Adam. 352 00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:14.279 You know what I'm really I'm really I'm really getting 353 00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:16.880 tired of every week is oh, this might have been 354 00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:20.680 the Clippers worst game. I felt like it's every week 355 00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:25.400 we have one of those, and and that sucks, man, because, uh, 356 00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:27.960 you know, I think I'm one that always says toe 357 00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:30.240 You're like, oh, man, I feel like they're they're not 358 00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.720 without they're without energy out there at times this time, 359 00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:36.119 I don't think I can say that. Yes, there was 360 00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:40.920 times that they didn't have the right energy. 361 00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:43.519 And I think what bothered me is that they wouldn't 362 00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:46.319 they like they know, It's almost like they wouldn't. 363 00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:49.000 Realize it, like, oh, hey man, these guys are playing 364 00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:49.799 with a lot of energy. 365 00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:51.839 We at least have to try to match it. I 366 00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:55.240 think that kind of been matching. It would stop at 367 00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:59.920 least big leads like that, because that's all I really felt. 368 00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.480 I saw the Pels do in the third quarter when 369 00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:06.559 they went down by three, kind of like, hey, we 370 00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:08.559 ran on these guys and got a big lead. Let's 371 00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:12.279 just start running again and playing hard. Yeah, that gave them. 372 00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:14.799 Well, the problem is the guy that was running as 373 00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:17.200 a bull in a china shop in Zion Williamson as well. 374 00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:19.519 I appreciate the phone call, Jose, we're up against it, 375 00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:23.240 but you're right. Every week there's some loss where you 376 00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.799 feel like that's the worst loss of the season. Recently, 377 00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:31.559 the what twenty three point blown lead in Phoenix. Really 378 00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:35.160 both games against the Lakers were winnable. The game against 379 00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:39.279 Milwaukee up by thirteen in the fourth quarter. It's been tough, 380 00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:43.960 inconsistent play out there. We'll take a time out. I'm 381 00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:47.720 out of Maslin. Clippers almost came back down twenty one, 382 00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:50.799 almost came back down seventeen, but almost does not cut it. 383 00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:54.480 When you look at the Western Conference, standings right now, 384 00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:57.279 we'll update you on those next. Clippers fall twenty seven 385 00:27:57.279 --> 00:27:59.480 to one twenty in New Orleans of the Pelicans. I'm 386 00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:01.880 out of males. This is Clippers stock here on the 387 00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:06.839 Patriot AM eleven fifty. 388 00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:08.960 I love this team. I never miss a game. 389 00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:13.359 You're listening to LA Clippers Basketball free ball, Yes, sir, 390 00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:16.680 right here on the LA Clippers Audio network. 391 00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:23.640 Clippers give up one to twenty seven to the Pelicans, 392 00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:26.119 who are not a good three point shooting team, but 393 00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:31.640 uh tonight we're They went seventeen of thirty one from three. 394 00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:34.880 That's fifty five percent. It's their best shooting game of 395 00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:37.440 the season. It happens against the Clippers, who now drop 396 00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:41.279 two thirty five and thirty on the season. They are 397 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:46.680 a game and a half back of Minnesota. The Timberwolves 398 00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:49.240 occupy that seventh spot. Clippers in the eighth spot, game 399 00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:50.759 and a half back of them, But really it's two 400 00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:54.279 and a half games back. Why because Minnesota has the 401 00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:58.319
