WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:01.760
The LA Clippers.
2
00:00:02.279 --> 00:00:05.759
The game is ended, gather round boys, time to recap.
3
00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.759
But the post game coverage is just getting started.
4
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:10.199
The successes the failure.
5
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:14.480
Let's discuss this is Clippers locker room breaking down today's
6
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.440
action with the pre and post game voice of the Clippers.
7
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:19.760
Here's a a moss leg.
8
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:26.280
Hashtag. Come Back Clips. Your LA Clippers get their first
9
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:31.719
victory into it Dome in dramatic fashion, just like they
10
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.439
have over the years. They came back, this time down
11
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.479
twenty six points in the first quarter to the San
12
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:43.079
Antonio Spurs. They end up winning one thirteen to one
13
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:48.600
four to christen their new home with a classic Clippers comeback.
14
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.600
Welcome into your postgame show. I'm at a Moslins. We
15
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:56.759
are up second half highlights coming up, postgame box score,
16
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.159
but first we get back over to your radio voice
17
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.079
of the Clippers, Carlo Jimenez. Well, Carlo, how about that
18
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:08.680
five man unit KPJ, Chris Dunn, Amir Coffee, Nico Batoum
19
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.200
and Aviza Zubas the highly criticized unit to start the
20
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:16.079
fourth quarter against OKAC the other night. They win them
21
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:18.319
this ballgame. They got them back in.
22
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.640
This era of revenge tour for those guys today, Adam.
23
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:25.519
They were so good on the offensive end. They kys chaos,
24
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.719
they were locked in, they were excellent defensively. It was
25
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:31.319
so fun to watch them go to work in this
26
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:33.879
game and really put their foot on the gas.
27
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:34.799
They changed the game.
28
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.959
They changed the game a sixteen to two run, I
29
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.959
believe in that second quarter. So good for this Clipper team, Adam,
30
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:45.560
and and really shows that, Hey, while this team might
31
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.079
have lost Norman Palace to the starting unit, they did
32
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.120
not lose the punch off the bench. Those guys came
33
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:52.640
with the energy in the spark today.
34
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.120
Revenge from the five man unit, Revenge from Amir Coffee,
35
00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:00.519
who many wanted to see replaced with Jordan Miller. They
36
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:02.519
don't have a shot in this one without a mere
37
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.879
Coffee and those big three points shots in the second half.
38
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.719
And he came off probably his toughest game of the
39
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.719
season last time out, struggled with the score a little bit,
40
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:14.400
and boy did he respond today.
41
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:15.960
Five of six from three.
42
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.879
He hit three huge threes in that third quarter, two
43
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.560
big ones there in the fourth, goes eight for ten
44
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:25.680
from the field, twenty one points. We mentioned a pregame,
45
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.400
but the Clippers needed that Norman punch off the bench
46
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.680
that they had last year and a mere coffee providing that.
47
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.759
So far this season he has been excellent for them,
48
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.280
shooting above forty five percent from three on the young year,
49
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.879
and just won a performance by a guy who deserves it,
50
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.240
a guy who's worked for it every single year he's
51
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:46.159
been with his organization.
52
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.000
And I couldn't be more proud also of Avitza Zubats
53
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:52.560
who stuck with it. He was struggling early. I think
54
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.319
he was four of eleven in the first half. He
55
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.759
missed some gimmeis, he was being double teamed. He had
56
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.639
his shot block maybe three times by Webinyama. How does
57
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.240
the game end him dunking on Victor Wembinyama with an
58
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.080
and one and at the charity stripe five of five
59
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.159
after going one of five last game. He had been
60
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.680
struggling there, Big Zoo stuck with it and he helped
61
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:16.520
win this ball game.
62
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.280
He really did. And it's all about what you mentioned.
63
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:20.199
He stuck with it.
64
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.319
When ben Yama had nine blocks today, he could have
65
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.280
easily said this isn't working. The guy's blocking me every
66
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.520
fourth time I shoot the ball. But the ability to
67
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:33.159
stay with the interior presence on the offensive end keeps
68
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.159
the rest of your offense so much more balanced, so
69
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.840
much more versatile. And that's why of East Sewats had
70
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.120
to be aggressive every single time he got the ball.
71
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.479
Adam he finished with over ten offensive rebounds in this game.
72
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.759
The Spurs as a team had twelve offensive rebounds. Big
73
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.719
Zoo was excellent for them in this one thirteen boards,
74
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.680
continuing to pace the NBA in rebounds. A game so good,
75
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.639
so aggressive, and that is the Zubats. The Clippers need.
76
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.520
An aggressive Zubots is a good Zubots.
77
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.520
And as much as James Harden struggled early on a
78
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.319
big five to zero run during a stretch where the
79
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.319
Clippers needed it in the fourth quarter, including a four
80
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.279
point play, I believe he missed the free throws. The
81
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.040
Clippers miss what the opportunity for two four point plays
82
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:22.560
in this one with miss free throws.
83
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:23.399
They did well.
84
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:25.920
It's all the same because the Clippers come through with
85
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.800
the victory and James Harden found his offense when he
86
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:30.959
needed it most. And for a team that had been
87
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:35.839
struggling late in ballgames during crunch time, were they able
88
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.279
to avoid a clutch time game that they lead by
89
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.240
more than five in the last five minutes after coming
90
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:42.720
back down twenty six.
91
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:45.879
Remarkable, felt like a clutch game with the way it
92
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.399
was played down the stretch. But yeah, the Clippers never
93
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.879
allowed it to get closer than I believe seven in
94
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.959
that final five minutes of this one, just holding, still
95
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.120
not being phased. You talked about it when we were
96
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.519
off the air, but and the Clippers fell down twenty six.
97
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.720
Well, maybe this is how he turned things around.
98
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:06.560
Maybe it takes a comeback like this to get your
99
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.439
season on the right track. A group that's resilient, that
100
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.319
fought together and now comes out with a victory. And
101
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:14.000
I think all the credit in the world at him
102
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.199
to Chris Dunn who played a fantastic twenty five minutes
103
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.120
today and despite playing with five fouls, was able to
104
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:24.399
close down the stretch. He brings energy to this team
105
00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:27.879
that they need in games like this, really changing the
106
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:31.160
momentum of the ball game with his aggressiveness, with his activity,
107
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:34.360
and with his approach on the defensive end.
108
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:36.879
That lose ball he was able to get to and
109
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.240
draw the foul on CP three was just emblematic of
110
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:44.120
who Chris Done is. It's all hustle, heart, and also
111
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:48.759
in that ribcage dog dog in him confirmed we got
112
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:52.120
the X Rays. Chris Dunne was special down the stretch,
113
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.920
not just with his offense and he hit some timely shots,
114
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:57.560
but also those hustle plays including offensive rebounds.
115
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.439
Yeah, big time offensive rebounds, a swing get into the
116
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.680
teeth of Webbin Yama. Sometimes on the defensive end. He
117
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:07.519
was excellent today. Norman Powell, I mean, we just continue
118
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:09.800
to expect twenty point games out of him, but once
119
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:12.319
again he goes for twenty three first time in his career.
120
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:13.959
He's got six straight.
121
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:15.839
Twenty point games and he's got a chance to do
122
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.319
it again on Wednesday night. I thought he came up
123
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.800
in big moments for this Clipper team. It was an
124
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.920
all around excellent effort for a game that looks slow
125
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.199
and sluggish and looked like was going to be one
126
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.199
to forget after the opening twelve minutes. It's one to
127
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.519
remember for this Clipper team. Their first win of the
128
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.279
regular season here and into a dome that look to
129
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:38.600
make it too straight on Wednesday when a certain player,
130
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:43.319
a certain former friend now foe, comes to into a dome,
131
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.480
Paul George will be in the building and well You're
132
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.279
not gonna want to miss that one seven o'clock tip.
133
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:52.279
Been a week of familiar faces in new places. SGA
134
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:56.959
CP three now PG thirteen, coming back to Soakaw to
135
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.480
face the Clippers for the first time in a Philadelphia
136
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.959
seventy six uniform. Tip. Time for that one on Wednesday
137
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.800
at seven. Well off your pregame show starting at six.
138
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:11.759
The Clippers, it took them getting down twenty six to
139
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:16.439
relocate their identity to get back to that scrappy build
140
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:19.480
up that they've always had. This is the team that
141
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.839
has had more twenty point comebacks over the last six
142
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:26.959
seasons now than any other squad in the league. Maybe
143
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.839
the Clippers found their identity tonight and they can hopefully
144
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.279
build off of this. Wednesday Night's another big one. Carlo Jimenez,
145
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.639
great call as always. We got our first nylon in
146
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:38.959
we ready, we hear talk to you on Wednesday.
147
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.160
Talk to you Wednesday at them Let's go.
148
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.160
We'll hear that from Carlo Jimenez. Next, Clippers were down
149
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:49.600
twenty six, left for dead. The backups plus Big Zoo
150
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:52.759
fought back and then the Stars came in late and
151
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.480
helped take them home. And how about a mere coffee.
152
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.920
Brian Stemens says it all the time. Coffee is for closing.
153
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:04.199

As mentioned, the Clippers were down by twenty six after
173
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.200
the first quarter. It was forty to fourteen. The Clippers
174
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:09.519
were historically bad. They made just four shots total in
175
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.360
that first quarter. But then guess who brought him back
176
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:17.039
from the deaths. It was the same crew that I've
177
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:20.080
been talking about that has been playing well for them
178
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.639
and had one bad start to a quarter against OKC.
179
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:28.200
In that fourth that would be KPJ next to Chris Dunn,
180
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.879
next to a mere Coffee next to Nico, buttoom next
181
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:36.120
two Big Zoo. They went on a sixteen to two
182
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:41.039
run to start that second quarter. The guys who were scrutinized.
183
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:44.159
Coach Lou was scrutinized for that crew. I asked him
184
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:48.039
pre game because I thought that was the move to
185
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.639
make against OKACE. It had been working. It didn't work
186
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.200
that one game, So do you go back to it? Well,
187
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.320
he said, it's about feel, it's about flow, the game flow.
188
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.840
The game was against them. He goes back to it,
189
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.639
and they don't win this ball game. That crew might
190
00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.320
have gone a plus. I don't know thirty two. I'm
191
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.399
gonna check the lineup data later. But at the half,
192
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.360
the Clippers had trimmed into that lead. It was down
193
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:16.840
to eight fifty six to forty eight in the third quarter,
194
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:19.360
A mere coffee started to cook.
195
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:22.879
Harden goes around a mere coffee stream going left, Brandon
196
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:25.159
the switch. Harden drives by, jumps in the air, back
197
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:27.320
down coffee straight away three, got it.
198
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:32.679
I'm here coffee crop straight away, slobs underneath you box.
199
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:33.159
You got the.
200
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:36.120
Smaller Johnson on him, rips a past coffee right wing three,
201
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:41.679
cashes it out. I'm here coffee right corner coffee.
202
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:45.639
Another three bottoms back to back from.
203
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:49.240
Bonus distance and the Clippers within four on an eight
204
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:49.799
zero run.
205
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.039
Clippers were down four after being down by as many
206
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:57.840
as twenty six heading into the fourth quarter. But they
207
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:01.559
know about dramatic comebacks when they get that close, when
208
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.480
it's even they're leaving. In situations like this and down
209
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.320
the stretch, they would knock down three after three after three,
210
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:10.639
Carlo take it away.
211
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:12.759
Norm straight away three.
212
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:13.960
That's it.
213
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.759
Norman Powell with this four to three.
214
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:19.000
Of the game, copy left wing three.
215
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:24.080
You betch comire Coffy's four to three of the game.
216
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:26.600
Blippers can take a lead Norm.
217
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.720
Left wing three for the lead on.
218
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.919
The Clippers on a nine ozer run.
219
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:37.440
The twenty six point lead for the Spurs is gone.
220
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:40.879
Swings it don't root now holds the ball right here.
221
00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:42.320
Back to coffee left wing.
222
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:48.200
Three Puttex snift of the game Fromire Harden swings it done,
223
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.600
left wing three cash, it's raining it into it.
224
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:54.879
The Clippers with eighteen.
225
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:59.159
Threes talk about making waves. The Clippers were wet with it.
226
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:04.759
From three. They ends up going nineteen of thirty seven
227
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:08.360
from distance, that is fifty one percent shooting from three.
228
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:11.080
After they came into this one just shooting thirty three percent.
229
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:14.600
We wondered when they would progress to the mean a
230
00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:18.200
little bit and when the San Antonio Spurs, when they
231
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:21.039
would struggle from distance, it would do them in. They
232
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:24.960
were eleven of forty one, twenty seven percent from the outside.
233
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:28.080
The Clippers were down twenty six here and into a dome,
234
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.720
and that's how they get their first victory in this building.
235
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:35.679

Rising from the dead, oh C the Undertaker GIF Clippers
247
00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:17.799
turn a game around. It's a thirty five point turnaround
248
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:24.559
from down twenty six to winning by nine. Unreal Clippers
249
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.559
in this one, of course, big buckets after big buckets
250
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:30.720
from a mere coffee eight of ten, five of six
251
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.799
from three, twenty one points. Chris Dunn not just the
252
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:38.919
big buckets, the scrappy plays out there. They don't credit
253
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.480
him with the offensive rebounds. I don't understand that he
254
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.440
had deflections. He caused CP three to have an offensive foul.
255
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:49.519
Kevin Porter Junior was solid one his minutes by fourteen.
256
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:54.399
It was that five man unit that everybody criticized for
257
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:57.559
starting the fourth quarter against OKC that won them this game.
258
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:03.000
A mere big suit not given up finishes just six
259
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:07.960
of seventeen, but seventeen and thirteen for as cis. He
260
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:11.799
got them going from distance in the second half with
261
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:14.200
some great dimes. When the double would come his way,
262
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:18.919
he found the open shooter, beautiful basketball from Viza Zubots
263
00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:22.679
and he stuck with it. Wemby blocked him multiple times.
264
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.519
He dunked on Wemby multiple times. You know what you're
265
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:30.080
getting into with Victor wembin Yama. He had nine blocks.
266
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.120
That's okay, that's what he does. He still only went
267
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:35.480
nine of twenty two from the field, two of nine
268
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:38.240
from three. And while we have a moment, let's pause
269
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:41.159

the Clippers were down twenty six to cent Antonio on

00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:43.799
phone calls. We'll hear from coach Lou post game. I
307
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:46.159
hope he dunks on everyone like I've been doing about
308
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:48.960
that five man lineup that you all thought was nuts,
309
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.200
and it's what won them the ballgame in this one.
310
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:54.399
The same five guys you didn't want to see on
311
00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:56.879
the floor to start the fourth quarter against ok See,
312
00:16:56.919 --> 00:16:59.120
even though they had already won them two games against
313
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:01.759
Golden State, against It's Denver, he put them in when
314
00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:04.720
the going got tough and they were down forty to fourteen,
315
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:06.920
and what did they do? Go on a sixteen to
316
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:08.880
two run to get them right back into this ball
317
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:10.680
game and it was just an eight point lead for
318
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:14.240
San Antonio heading into the second half. How about coach lose?
319
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.119
He gonna get any credit tonight. I've been giving them credit.
320
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.079
I think his coaching has been phenomenal so far this season.
321
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.920
The talent disadvantage has hurt them at times, the coaching
322
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:29.200
has not. And Big Zoo believing in him and sticking
323
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:33.200
with him even while Wemby was getting some blocks, even
324
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:35.519
while beats A Zubos I think started three for eleven
325
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:40.599
from the floor, he stayed with it, stayed confidence, stayed aggressive.
326
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:43.880
There's no other path you can take anymore. You need
327
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:48.640
Big Zoo. You'a aren't winning without him. Doesn't mean if
328
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:50.960
you're playing thirty minutes you're always going to win, but
329
00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:55.079
you aren't going to win if you don't give Big
330
00:17:55.160 --> 00:18:01.559
Zoo the basketball and stick with them. Just a tremendous
331
00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:05.440
performance from a Viza Zubas, with the resiliency from him
332
00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:07.880
that I think may have permeated throughout the team. It
333
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.200
can be deflating Victor wenbin Yama's there. You're seeing ghosts
334
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:13.599
whether or not he's blocking the shots, you're missing shots
335
00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:18.079
because he's already blocked one. He covers half the court.
336
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:22.599
He had nine blocks maybe three against Zubas, and he
337
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.440
kept coming and had an and one dunk on Wemby
338
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:31.400
at the end, he dunked on him twice. Big Zoo's soft.
339
00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:39.240
What I don't want to hear any of that. Big
340
00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:43.799
Zoos showed the heart of a lion tonight. What a comeback.
341
00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:51.000
Third largest regular season comeback in franchise history. Down thirty
342
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:54.640
five against the Wizards a couple of years ago. That's
343
00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:57.440
the second biggest comeback in NBA history in the regular season.
344
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:02.599
I think the dazz happened at thirty six. They come
345
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.920
back down twenty eight, fresh off of trading Tobias Harris
346
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:12.880
in Boston back in what twenty nineteen, langr shamit big game,
347
00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:17.519
Big Zoo, big game, and then tonight down twenty six
348
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:21.039
to Christen into it. Done with this first win ever?
349
00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:25.920
Here buy your Los Angeles Clippers in style, in classic
350
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:32.720
Clippers style, a big comeback. That's how you can find yourself,
351
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:37.799
relocate your identity, and remember the type of squad you
352
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.799
have been over the years, no matter who was available. Hey,
353
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:43.519
kawhiin here right now. We've seen that before in the past.
354
00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:45.680
Paul George ain't here, He's in Philly. He'll be back
355
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.720
here on Wednesday. We've seen him out a bunch two.
356
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:52.720
This Clippers team has a mentality to not give into that,
357
00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:58.000
and we saw it again tonight. Now can they build
358
00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:03.559
off of this Philly coming in no embiid. I'll update
359
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:05.759
you on what happened in Paul George's return tonight and
360
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:12.519
against the Phoenix Suns. But this was incredible. A mere
361
00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:18.119
coffee the guy that everybody said this summer after summer League.
362
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.160
You know I've said it at times too. If Jordan
363
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:25.240
Miller's taking minutes from someone. It's probably a mere I
364
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:28.400
don't think so. Amir said, no, no, no, no, no, no,
365
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:33.200
I'm too valuable to what this team needs now. A
366
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:37.680
mere coffee with five threes on five of six shooting
367
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:43.799
from three in the second half. A mere coffee with
368
00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:46.920
the big steel and slam at the end to put
369
00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:50.240
the icing on this one. A mere coffee with great
370
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:54.559
defense and that five man lineup. I told you it
371
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:56.799
was doing work. I told you it was an outlier.
372
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.240
What happened against ok see and everybody? What are you
373
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.839
getting non coach lou for that? Him being asked, how
374
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:06.160
can you not stagger James Harden and Norman Powell at
375
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:10.359
all times? Guess what? The lineup that got him back
376
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:14.599
in this one didn't have Norm didn't have James Harden.
377
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:19.160
They still came through in the fourth. But to get
378
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:21.519
back into this ball game, they did it with backups
379
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:29.839
and big Zoo. Just absolute grit and determination by this
380
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:32.759
Clippers team to night to get their first ever victory,
381
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:36.680
heart into it dum when they were da dead on
382
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:38.920
a rival to start and had one of the worst
383
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:41.640
first quarters I had seen by this ball club and
384
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:43.720
we've seen some bad ones. I thought we were heading
385
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:46.519
towards a fifty one point loss, like against Dallas to
386
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:49.640
start off the twenty twenty twenty twenty one year. It
387
00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:56.400
looked that bad, But I said off air, this may
388
00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:59.079
be the perfect position for the Clippers to be in
389
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.240
because this is when they find themselves. And if they
390
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:06.119
come back and win this game, they may start rolling.
391
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:10.400
They may realize the type of team that they have
392
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:15.839
been can be and will be a team that does
393
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.599
not give in, does not quit. Nobody's had more twenty
394
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:23.200
point comebacks the last six seasons than this squad. Nobody
395
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:27.160
couldn't be more proud of this group. Coach lou Chris
396
00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:31.279
Donn big play after big play, but Toom had his moments.
397
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:38.160
KPJ had his moments. I mean a mere coffee though
398
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:43.119
a plus thirty four in a game they were down
399
00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:48.400
thirty six. I want to see that five man lineup data.
400
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:52.640
I'll get it for you in a little bit, but
401
00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:57.559
I just want to tip my cap to this squad
402
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:00.480
for not giving in and not laying down when could have.
403
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:04.480
I had a ton of tweets coming my way saying,
404
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:08.519
OKAYC is getting the first pick in the draft. They're
405
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:14.119
capturing the flag. That's all I heard in the first quarter.
406
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:16.759
People clowning the Clippers.
407
00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:17.559
Hell.
408
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:19.240
I said, it was an embarrassing first quarter.
409
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:19.680
It was.
410
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:24.599
It wasn't just offense. Their defense was lifeless too. They
411
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:28.000
were not good enough there. They were getting beat in
412
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:33.319
the non wemby minutes. This team didn't have it. It
413
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:37.000
felt like a matinee start. No more of those, please,
414
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:40.960
And for the most part, they had been starting quarters
415
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:44.119
well so far this season. It had been the second
416
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:48.880
halfs that had doomed them. It completely turns around and
417
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.359
they actually execute down the stretch in this one beautifully
418
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:57.039
to perfection. I can't tell you enough about some of
419
00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:03.079
the passes Big Zoo made after doubles coming late in
420
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.480
the third when that same five man lineup KPJ, Chris Dunn,
421
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:10.480
a mere coffee, Niko Batooma, Viza Zubas was out there
422
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:13.039
and they went a plus six to cut a ten
423
00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:16.519
point lead to four. Heading into the fourth of Viza
424
00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:19.599
Zubas found a cutting KPJ for a dunk, then found
425
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:22.720
a mere coffee to get him going from three out
426
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:25.920
of a double. When the doubles came, he started to
427
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:29.880
find the open man. He banked a shot in end
428
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:32.640
of the third quarter over like a triple team of
429
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:36.000
Vitza Zubas, after he had already been blocked multiple times.
430
00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:37.759
It could have been easy to curl up in a
431
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:39.799
shell and say, you know, it's not my night. They're
432
00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:45.200
packing the pain. Wemby's there, No, he kept coming, he
433
00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:49.839
kept battling. That's what they need from him, and what
434
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:52.319
he needs is the basketball from his teammates and to
435
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:57.319
have that faith in him. It's eighty six eighty two
436
00:24:57.359 --> 00:25:01.240
heading into the fourth in the past from Zoo with
437
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:04.359
point six seconds left. A KPJ was a well executed
438
00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:08.720
buzzer beater that almost went right. At the end of
439
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:12.559
the third. With KPJ putting up that three, you could
440
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:16.839
see it the execution was coming. But then Mamu, I
441
00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:19.960
think that's his nickname. I'm not gonna even attempt to pronounce.
442
00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:20.599
It his name.
443
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:23.400
Hit a three to start the fourth, so they're down seven.
444
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:28.559
Norm has a layup going to his right. KPJ had
445
00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:30.960
a bad one legged fade away done missed a floater.
446
00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:34.400
Wemby had a really bad lob that turned into a
447
00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:39.920
Norm pal steel. But then a Norm three pointer made
448
00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:42.960
it ninety one to eighty seven, back down by four
449
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:46.279
early fourth quarter. Then they get a shot clock violation
450
00:25:46.359 --> 00:25:49.319
on San Antonio, but Wemby blocks a mirror on a
451
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:51.599
fade away I can't believe I can believe it, but
452
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:53.720
he got to his fade away shot, and I don't
453
00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:56.839
know how he did it. Wemby is the eighth wonder
454
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.720
of the world. If it's not into it, Dume. But
455
00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:03.640
then the Clippers get a stop KPJ with a really
456
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:05.960
bad pass to It beats the Zubos underneath the basket,
457
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:09.480
a fastball turnover, but Norm got it right back timeout.
458
00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:12.079
Coach Lou It's still ninety one to eighty seven, but
459
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:14.480
a Wemby steal on Norm right out of the timeout.
460
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:19.319
But then good defense Zoo on CP three created a steal.
461
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:22.640
He had multiple possessions where Chris Paul tried to take
462
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:24.799
him out to deep water and it beats the Zubos
463
00:26:24.839 --> 00:26:29.759
locked him up. He got zero separation, a mere three
464
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:34.000
one point game. Another stop Norm three Clippers up to
465
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:37.039
ninety three to ninety one. We get the nylon call
466
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:41.519
from Carlo Jimenez and they never looked back travel on
467
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:44.440
CP three right afterwards out of a timeout. I believe
468
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:48.079
Norm lay up then blocked by Wemby just an insane
469
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:51.039
chase down block. I can't you think he's not there,
470
00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:56.519
You think you've gotten away from Wemby. There's just no escape.
471
00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:02.640
He's just following you like pan Shadow. It is unbelievable
472
00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:14.319
because you can't shake him. You can't. Wemby then fouled,
473
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:17.759
knocked down some free throws, I mean even a shooting
474
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:22.200
stroke of the charity stripe. It's like, I don't even
475
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:25.839
know what to say. Does any big man have an
476
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:27.920
excuse anymore? When Wenby is this good at the charity
477
00:27:27.960 --> 00:27:33.640
stripe of missing free throws, this is just next level.
478
00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:42.599
Jay wants that Carl tart zubat segment. Now, you can't
479
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:46.839
shake Wemby. He is everywhere Defensively, I told you a pregame.
480
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:50.119
They're nineteen points better per one hundred possessions on the
481
00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:52.799
defensive end. The San Antonio Spurs when Wenby is on
482
00:27:53.480 --> 00:28:02.559
versus off, the court comes back in. It's a tie
483
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:08.119
game at ninety three. Your lineup now is Harden done?
484
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:13.119
Amir Zuo Powell last six forty five a mere three pointer.
485
00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:19.920
His fifth Clippers have their largest lead Wemby misses Harden
486
00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:30.039
kickout done three zoo defense on Wemby. He had a
487
00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.680
remarkable possession where Wemby was short on a shot from
488
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:37.480
about ten feet out and then's big Zuo dunked on
489
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:41.160
Victor Wembin Yama and got the and one defense to
490
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:48.880
offense one individual doing this just a hell of a game.
491
00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:54.599
By beats a zooboss, putting haters in a body bag.
492
00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:00.319
I can't believe some of the stuff he had to
493
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:02.920
deal with, with the amount of guys who were fronting
494
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:05.400
him trying to stop him from getting the basketball, then
495
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:08.200
double team's, triple teams or just Victor woman y'ama waiting
496
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:17.279
stick with it. That was the key, that was everything
497
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:22.720
for this team. And by the time he got the
498
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:26.279
and one where he went five of five from the
499
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.559
charity stripe after going one of five last time out,
500
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.519
the Clippers are all of a sudden up eight. It's
501
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:38.319
one on one ninety three. They started the quarter down four,
502
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:46.160
twelve point turnaround less than seven minutes in just incredible basketball.
503
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:48.680
You want to talk about fast and furious, like comeback
504
00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:54.400
this Clippers team. Harden then has the four point play
505
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:58.400
but missed the free throw. Harden has a step back,
506
00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:01.279
so a five to zero run generated by James Harden.
507
00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:04.039
For those trying to hate Wemby hits a three one
508
00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:05.880
oh seven to ninety eight. They're not quite out of
509
00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:12.279
the woods yet. There's too much time left. There would
510
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:16.759
be a bad possession. Zoo lost the ball, but then
511
00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:20.359
the effort by Chris Dunn to get it back to
512
00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:23.759
the Clippers, it would not amount to a bucket. Chris
513
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:26.839
Dunn would end up missing a floater eventually, but he
514
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:30.799
got it back off diving for the basketball where CP
515
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:36.000
three had an offensive foul. Awesome, they're both scrambling for it.
516
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:42.039
Foul on CP three, Chris Dunn out working dudes and
517
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:45.000
then late, I love the move. About a minute left,
518
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.920
Zubos was cassed. You need more switchability to stop threes
519
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:54.359
from going down. Because san Antonio is down seven, bring
520
00:30:54.359 --> 00:30:58.920
in Nico more switching. CP three misses the three, Dune
521
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:01.880
gets fouled, goes to the law and AMR has the
522
00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:08.440
steal and dunk late to put this one away. Poetic
523
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:16.319
one twelve one oh two final score one thirteen one
524
00:31:16.640 --> 00:31:23.400
oh four. Clippers complete the twenty six point turnaround. We'll

Every move Dave Roberts, the manager made worked. Yes, the
534
00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:55.160
Dodgers have an En Norman's payroll. Yes they outbid people
535
00:31:55.240 --> 00:31:58.839
for stars, but half of them, especially the starting staff,
536
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:03.640
seem injured all year. This organization, this team, proved a
537
00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:05.680
resilience beyond the money.

551
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:48.160
postgame show. I'm at a miles Land taking you till
552
00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:53.839
eleven o'clock Pacific time. If you're on the chat side
553
00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:59.920
at Clippers Talk on the YouTube, appreciate you. Yeah. Coach
554
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:02.319
Lou is a top three coach in the league. Guys,
555
00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:06.880
every year he gets voted the best in game adjuster
556
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:10.079
by his peers. Other people who coach, people in the
557
00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:16.079
front office, you think you know more than them. He
558
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:20.720
had some masterful rotations in this one, including not giving
559
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:24.359
in to the angry mob about his five man lineup
560
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:27.319
that had been good but wasn't in one stint last
561
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:29.519
game against ok See to start the fourth quarter to
562
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:31.519
coach Lou panic and go away from it tonight. No,
563
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:34.640
he didn't go away from it. That lineup won them
564
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:42.480
the damn game. That's coaching, that's sticking to your gut
565
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:45.880
and the analytics. I told you that lineup was good
566
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:50.799
and had been and victor Woman Yama still almost had
567
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:55.000
a quadruple double. My god, Clippers would stand it and
568
00:33:55.000 --> 00:33:58.119
get the victory. Oh, this was a fun one Cliper
569
00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:02.319
Nation first ever here at into a dome. Let's go
570
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:06.039
the phones, man, we got tagous and Walnut Tagous, you're
571
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:07.640
on clippers, stop with out of Maazon.
572
00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:12.599
He ay Adam Man. What a There was no other
573
00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:17.079
better way than having a comeback clips victory at our
574
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:22.559
first victory into a dome. You know sometimes I you know,
575
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:25.119
I'm more nervous when we get a big lead and
576
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:27.719
when we're down, I just have that feeling that we're
577
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:32.920
gonna come back and win. And it happened again. You
578
00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:36.360
know when we were down I think seven or eight
579
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:40.519
at halftime, and then the third quarter, Norm hit that
580
00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:43.440
three pointer and it's got fouled and we cut it
581
00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:45.880
to three and I was like, here we go. We're
582
00:34:45.880 --> 00:34:48.280
gonna take it home. And then within the blink of
583
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:51.400
an eye, the Spurs pushed it back to fourteen. Yep,
584
00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:55.119
and I was a little I'm sorry now.
585
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:57.039
Keep going, Tajus, I'm agreeing with you. That was a
586
00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:57.599
big moment.
587
00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:02.840
Yeah, And for a second, I'm like, man, maybe our
588
00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:04.920
comeback is going to fall a little bit short. But
589
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:08.760
we kept grinding, kept grinding, and what happened in the
590
00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:14.079
first quarter as opposed to the previous games. We limited
591
00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:17.320
our turnovers quite a bit and we got real good
592
00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:21.000
shots from three, all a mere coffee. Most of his
593
00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:25.960
threes were wide open. Norman Powell had his threes within
594
00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:29.199
the offense, within the sets, and even Chris Done at
595
00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:31.719
the end he had a wide open three that he
596
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:34.800
connected on and that was I think the offense. And
597
00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:38.480
it went much smoother today than the previous games, which
598
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:41.639
if we didn't and we had all those turnovers, I
599
00:35:41.639 --> 00:35:44.960
don't know if we complete the comeback. But man just
600
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:48.039
really happy that we got the victory. Clipp Our Nation
601
00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:50.719
has been wanting it, and nobody deserves it more than
602
00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:51.400
Steve Bomber.
603
00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:57.719
I love that. I love that Tajus and Walnutt pointing
604
00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:01.199
out that nobody deserves us more than Seve bomb first
605
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:05.760
ever victory. Hear it into a dome. This one is
606
00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:12.760
for Steve. He built this palace, He came up with
607
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:17.719
these innovative ideas. The wall, everybody there was fantastic tonight.
608
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:21.760
The place was electric. It is almost like a basketball
609
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:26.760
theme park, a cathedral, and now it has a Clippers
610
00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:29.880
w here and the type of w we're used to
611
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:35.199
seeing from this ball club, these gritty Clippers wins, these
612
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:40.440
comeback clips wins. Again, if you didn't hear it earlier,
613
00:36:41.159 --> 00:36:45.199
since the ninety seven to ninety eight season, this is
614
00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:50.320
the third biggest regular season comeback in franchise history, fourth
615
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:53.760
biggest total No. Fifth Because they've had a playoff come
616
00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:56.280
back down twenty seven and a playoff come back down
617
00:36:56.320 --> 00:37:02.800
thirty one. The resolve is special. Ray said it in
618
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:07.239
the chat, thank you, Steve. The wall was chanting, Balmer,
619
00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:14.320
give him the damn game ball. I don't know, I know.
620
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:18.400
There's some postgame audio Katie Newton has back there, including
621
00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:20.920
a short clip of Vitza Zubas in the locker room
622
00:37:20.960 --> 00:37:24.679
after their first win. Okay, let's hear from that right now.
623
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:29.039
A little bit of a flair of a dramatic get us.
624
00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:33.639
That's how we do it.
625
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:35.480
We can we can't do it easily.
626
00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:37.480
We always gotta fight back.
627
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:40.280
It always gotta be a dramatic but win, its a win.
628
00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:46.159
That's how we do it. That's a Clippers win. Not
629
00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:50.039
gonna be easy. Gotta fight back. Big Zeus said it
630
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:55.519
all there. This is just a microcosm of what this
631
00:37:55.599 --> 00:37:59.559
team has been about. This is what they do. They're
632
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:01.639
made for when they're backs against the wall. I mean,
633
00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:04.760
they've had a twenty five point comeback also to get
634
00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:07.400
themselves to the Western Conference Finals in the playoffs. I
635
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:15.159
think we remember that one game six Utah Derek Jones
636
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:18.559
Junior did have a scary fall going up against Wemby
637
00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:21.440
for a layup where he was holding his shoulder. I
638
00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:25.880
don't have anything on that yet. Fifty percent shooting from three,
639
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:29.519
I mean the numbers finally went back in their favor.
640
00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:32.159
They were shooting thirty three percent from three on the season.
641
00:38:34.039 --> 00:38:37.599
And finally James Harden goes three of six from the
642
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:40.239
outside when he had been shooting just over twenty percent
643
00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:43.880
from three on the year. Are the legs starting to
644
00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:46.639
come around? I don't know. He still had a rough
645
00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:52.760
twenty five minutes, but the last six were good. Real
646
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:57.440
nice hashtag comeback clips. Chemo said, he sat in the
647
00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:59.679
wall tonight. It was awesome. My normal seats are an
648
00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:03.960
M one, but wanted to experience it. That's great, man, Thanks,
649
00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:10.760
Steve Balmer Rock said, when when Terrence Man in that
650
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:13.639
conversation is going on right now? Hey, guys, I'm with you.
651
00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:17.079
If Terrence Man is not gonna shoot the basketball. We
652
00:39:17.199 --> 00:39:20.440
got problems and he may get pulled from the starting
653
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:24.599
lineup at some point. I get it. I thought he
654
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:29.239
had some good moments in this game, but still saw
655
00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:33.519
too much of the same from team ann regarding not
656
00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:35.639
looking for his offense enough. Now he did have a
657
00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:39.320
three to start it, he had a reverse layup. He
658
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:42.800
had a tough fall also early on where I just
659
00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:45.320
felt like Terrence Man wasn't going to the basket with
660
00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:47.440
the intent to score, but with the intent to draw
661
00:39:47.480 --> 00:39:50.800
the foul on Wemby instead, he fell sideways. Didn't get
662
00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:57.320
to go like this. Look, I want to go over
663
00:39:57.360 --> 00:40:01.760
the second quarter, because that's when the game truly changed.
664
00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:06.199
They were down twenty six. Zoo hook shot immediately a
665
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:10.920
mere dunkin transition, KPJ fadeaway, KPJ step back, eight oh run.
666
00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:15.239
They had four makes in about the first two minutes
667
00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:18.960
of the second quarter, when they had four makes oh
668
00:40:18.960 --> 00:40:23.639
of the first quarter. Then Wemby had a dunk driving
669
00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:26.039
faster beats the Zubats after Zubas fell for a pump
670
00:40:26.079 --> 00:40:27.960
fake on a three pointer, and then you see a
671
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:29.960
seven to three guy just go around to him like
672
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:33.039
he's a guard. It's just Zubos kind of shrugged afterwards,
673
00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:37.400
like what are you gonna do? Chris Dunbucket, He was
674
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:40.159
really good in that second quarter, guys, but toom three
675
00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:45.000
Clippers are all of a sudden down fifteen done three.
676
00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:49.559
Then Zoom missed multiple shots over Wemby. He had I
677
00:40:49.559 --> 00:40:52.920
want to say, three offensive rebounds tip shots that didn't go.
678
00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:56.559
But then he finally got one as a ten point game.
679
00:40:57.960 --> 00:41:02.159
That is what I'm talking about, Big Zoo not giving
680
00:41:02.199 --> 00:41:07.800
in just because it's Wemby. Stay with it. That was
681
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:11.519
a big moment, I think, honestly in his career, because
682
00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:13.599
there have been too many times where Vitazubots is having
683
00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:17.079
a bad game to start, he doesn't turn around. This
684
00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:23.320
time he did knock down his free throws. Norm comes
685
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:29.199
back in because remember that was the crew that eight
686
00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:32.800
into the lead and god to ten. The Chris done
687
00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:37.639
kpj Emir Coffee, Niko Batoum, Big Zoo crew turned the
688
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:42.679
game around, and I hope Coach Lou lets everybody know
689
00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:45.360
that he went back to the lineup. I asked him
690
00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:50.119
about a pregame. I knew the lineup was working and
691
00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:52.639
he was taking far too much grief for once didn't
692
00:41:52.719 --> 00:41:54.719
it didn't work to start the fourth quarter against Okay
693
00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:58.960
see Zoo had the dunk on wemby then to end
694
00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:06.880
the second quarter, and then a norm three down eight
695
00:42:08.039 --> 00:42:11.280
heading into the third that second quarter with special two guys,
696
00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:14.679
we will take a quick time out. We'll come back.
697
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:17.400
Get your phone calls. Eight sixty six, nine eighty seven
698
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:21.320
two five seventy eight six six ninety seven two five seventy.
699
00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:27.239
I'm fired up tonight. I am. This is the Clippers
700
00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:34.639
team we have come to love. When everything's going against them,
701
00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:37.639
when it felt like they were about to get run
702
00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:44.519
by fifty in their darkest hour, we will not go
703
00:42:44.679 --> 00:42:48.199
quietly into the night. I don't think anybody said that.
704
00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:53.239
Not quite July. Clippers do come back down twenty six.
705
00:42:54.519 --> 00:42:56.239
They win with a final score of one thirteen to
706
00:42:56.320 --> 00:42:59.360
one oh four in their first ever win. Hear it
707
00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:03.960

00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:52.119
and none better than this one so far this season
724
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:54.119
was something born out of this victory.
725
00:43:54.159 --> 00:43:58.760
Will Updike oh Man Do I hope though? Uh?
726
00:43:58.880 --> 00:43:58.960
No?
727
00:43:59.159 --> 00:44:04.199
Incredible game. Biggest takeaway A coffee was incredible. Great bench
728
00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:06.519
Ron Harden able to turn it around a little bit
729
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:09.639
after a super rough start, and Zoo continues to do
730
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:13.920
Zoo things despite having what most his least efficient game
731
00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:14.800
in the season thus far.
732
00:44:15.480 --> 00:44:17.880
I said at the half, I love the game from
733
00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:19.599
a beats to Zoo Bots. Even when we started off
734
00:44:19.599 --> 00:44:22.719
I think eleven or four of eleven because the aggressiveness
735
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:24.960
was still there. He wasn't being deterred by the fact
736
00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:26.679
that Wenby had blocked him a couple of times, he
737
00:44:26.760 --> 00:44:29.679
kept coming. I mean he had a hook shot over
738
00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:31.559
the double team in the second half, might have been
739
00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:34.719
a triple team. And then he dunked on Wemby multiple
740
00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:38.000
times in the game. Like just stay confident, and the
741
00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:40.360
team was confident in him too. I couldn't be more
742
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:42.079
proud of Big Zoo animeir coffee.
743
00:44:43.320 --> 00:44:46.280
Oh yeah, agree, one hundred percent. And Norm Powell continues
744
00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:49.280
to crush it. But yeah, big Zoo U man. He
745
00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:54.360
he just continues to impress when given the opportunity, and
746
00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:57.199
he was absolutely needed against Wemby, who was a black
747
00:44:57.239 --> 00:44:59.679
hole down low, real problem for the Clippers. You mentioned
748
00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:02.119
him and blocked a couple of times by Wemby, he
749
00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:04.760
was not the only one. Wemby ended with nine blocks
750
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:08.480
or something unreal. Always a triple double with block.
751
00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:12.719
Also quadruple double, right, Like this guy, this is like
752
00:45:12.840 --> 00:45:16.599
David Robinson achem Elijahan type stuff, like some of those
753
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:19.719
blocks on Norman Powell where you think you're safe, where
754
00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:22.559
you think you've got enough distance between you, and he
755
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:26.440
makes up ground like that because he's just he's slender man.
756
00:45:26.519 --> 00:45:29.480
He knew it. Like his first Halloween in the NBA,
757
00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:32.119
came dressed up as that it's it's gotta be haunting
758
00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:34.519
out there for guys to have to deal with Wemby
759
00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:36.920
like that. But as much as a lot of this
760
00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:39.199
was yes, hot shooting to get them back into it,
761
00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:42.400
like there's a mentality there, like you could have given
762
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:45.719
in down twenty six, and we saw that same Clipper
763
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:49.039
spirit that we have seen over the years, where they
764
00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:52.119
have these dramatic comebacks and it's just the way they're built,
765
00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:54.079
it's just what they do. They don't give in.
766
00:45:56.199 --> 00:45:58.400
Well, and I think that's like what's been different or
767
00:45:58.440 --> 00:46:01.599
frustrating about this year, Like what we came accustomed to
768
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:05.239
was sort of like the slow starts, right and then
769
00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:06.840
the team being able to sort of turn it on
770
00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:10.320
in the back half. And in this season so far,
771
00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:13.159
we've actually come out to a lot of really strong starts.
772
00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:18.400
We've seen some pretty sizable leads against against difficult teams,
773
00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:24.679
but they've struggled to execute down stretch and this one
774
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:28.480
coming back from a major deficit and just being able
775
00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:30.760
to get not only a win, not only eke out
776
00:46:30.760 --> 00:46:33.639
a win, but a fairly convincing win in the final
777
00:46:33.679 --> 00:46:37.039
minutes of this game off of a run that was
778
00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:39.719
kickstarted with a believe a coffee three to cut this
779
00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:43.719
thing down to one. It was just incredible to see.
780
00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:45.800
And I talked about this a little bit with Charles
781
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:47.920
in the post game. But like this team has a
782
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:51.280
lot of time to figure stuff out in the clutch,
783
00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:54.800
right Like they are going to have a a whole
784
00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:55.360
lot of times.
785
00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:57.800
Can you poy this out before anyone this season? Will
786
00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:02.480
with that this out before anyone this season, before the
787
00:47:02.519 --> 00:47:04.559
Clipper said We're gonna be in a lot of close games,
788
00:47:04.599 --> 00:47:04.960
you were.
789
00:47:04.880 --> 00:47:08.800
Saying it, yeah, oh yeah, I mean, like it's just
790
00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:11.679
the way that they're built right now. Like things could change,
791
00:47:11.719 --> 00:47:14.639
and they could they could be more handedly winning games
792
00:47:14.679 --> 00:47:16.119
and go on a little bit of a run with
793
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:19.719
the return of Qilanders, But as currently constructed, like it
794
00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:23.760
takes this team executing at a high defensive level. We need,
795
00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:27.119
you know, a baseline of performance from all of the starters,
796
00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:29.880
which we didn't quite get across the board tonight. Terence Man,
797
00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:33.159
Dereck Jones Jr. Not their greatest outings, but still and
798
00:47:33.199 --> 00:47:37.199
then we still need like one guy from the bench
799
00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:40.480
to to like to come through, uh In sort of
800
00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:43.599
a big way. Uh, and you know this time he
801
00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:47.400
was a mere coffee. But it's this team has always
802
00:47:47.400 --> 00:47:51.920
embraced sort of a next man up sort of mentality.
803
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:55.559
So it's it's it's nothing new, uh, but it is
804
00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:56.960
just one of those things that you're gonna have to
805
00:47:57.000 --> 00:47:57.440
keep going.
806
00:47:57.559 --> 00:47:58.400
And this was also a.
807
00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:00.000
Bit of an anomaly because as good as the clip
808
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:02.559
was a then rebounding, this was a team that they
809
00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:06.119
did not have an advantage again, and that is one
810
00:48:06.119 --> 00:48:07.760
of those things where this could have turned into a
811
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:10.760
very ugly loss. Because the Clippers improved rebounding with a
812
00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:13.239
Vita Zu being i believe the leading rebounder in the
813
00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:16.639
NBA right now, had kept them in a lot of games.
814
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:20.400
It's able to mitigate some of their issues, certainly get
815
00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:23.559
them extra opportunities on the offensive end, and help clean
816
00:48:23.639 --> 00:48:27.360
things up on the defensive end. So when that when
817
00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:30.119
that margin also gets slimmed down, things are going to
818
00:48:30.199 --> 00:48:33.079
get a little tricky. But I like the composure in
819
00:48:33.079 --> 00:48:34.239
this one to be able to pull through.
820
00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:37.800
Yeah, And I'm surprised so far this season just how
821
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:40.719
good they've been rebounding wise, rebounding percentage, they've been top
822
00:48:40.760 --> 00:48:45.039
five so far A Viza Zubots did have ten offensive rebounds.
823
00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:46.719
Of course a lot of those were off his own
824
00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:49.800
misshots in this game, but I'm fine with that. It's
825
00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:52.239
not going to be perfect all the time. You gotta battle,
826
00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:53.960
you got to go through it. I mean the way
827
00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:56.719
they were packing the pain against him with what OKC
828
00:48:56.920 --> 00:48:58.519
did the other night, and they couldn't even make a
829
00:48:58.519 --> 00:49:00.599
post entry to a Vita Zuba to get him the
830
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:03.000
ball when guys like Alex Ruzzo were on him. I
831
00:49:03.079 --> 00:49:06.039
will take a game like tonight because san Antonio has
832
00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:08.559
some beef. They got some guys guarding the moat, and
833
00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:11.440
it's not just Victor Wemenyama, So he was either getting
834
00:49:11.480 --> 00:49:14.800
doubled or Victor women Yama single covers with guys shading
835
00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:17.760
over like and he just played through it the entire time,
836
00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:20.199
didn't get too overly frustrated when he got off to
837
00:49:20.239 --> 00:49:22.960
a bad start. Somebody though that people are talking about
838
00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:24.400
in this one. You brought him up for a second
839
00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:27.519
with Terrence Man. They are calling for him to be
840
00:49:27.519 --> 00:49:30.360
out of the starting lineup, and you know what, I
841
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:33.440
can't keep defending it if he's gonna turn down shots.
842
00:49:33.559 --> 00:49:36.159
Like last game, there was a moment where Vitzu Zubats
843
00:49:36.199 --> 00:49:38.440
told him to shoot the basketball after he wouldn't shoot
844
00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:41.280
it on possession. It's there are multiple times where he's
845
00:49:41.320 --> 00:49:43.599
not looking at the rim. I was watching him today
846
00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:45.760
and some of that maybe because a Wemby, but it's
847
00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:49.400
been happening throughout the seven games so far. I don't
848
00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:53.159
know where you're at with this. Obviously they're three and four.
849
00:49:53.679 --> 00:49:55.760
Do you want to make wholesale changes? Do you want
850
00:49:55.760 --> 00:49:57.719
to make a move that big to take out Terrence Man?
851
00:49:57.760 --> 00:49:59.760
Is that really gonna help his confidence? But on the
852
00:49:59.800 --> 00:50:02.320
other they gotta win games, So I kind of get
853
00:50:02.360 --> 00:50:04.239
it if he's not gonna take shots will.
854
00:50:05.440 --> 00:50:08.400
I mean, I see both arguments, Like like, on one hand,
855
00:50:08.480 --> 00:50:11.320
like the margins are incredibly slim for this team, you know,
856
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:13.599
Like I just said, we got to get baseline performance
857
00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:16.199
out of the starting five at the very least, and
858
00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:19.239
we got to have an outlier bench performance. So I
859
00:50:19.239 --> 00:50:21.760
don't think that Terrence Van is necessarily actively losing enough
860
00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:24.800
games right now. I do think that if you're calling
861
00:50:24.840 --> 00:50:26.719
for Terrence Man to be removed from the starting lineup,
862
00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:29.119
I hear you. I would say, look at the minutes
863
00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:31.760
breakdowns and look at the way the rotations have been
864
00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:36.559
running and tonight, like, how is it necessarily any different
865
00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:38.800
if he is the starter or he's not the starter
866
00:50:38.920 --> 00:50:41.039
when you look at how those minutes actually broke down,
867
00:50:41.159 --> 00:50:42.719
and I think if you look at the closing line,
868
00:50:42.760 --> 00:50:45.480
that's across the entirety of this season, things have leaned
869
00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:47.800
a little bit more towards other players who are more
870
00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:50.559
willing to take shots or who have a hot hand,
871
00:50:50.599 --> 00:50:52.320
and Tyler was keeping them on the floor.
872
00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:53.480
So that is the thing.
873
00:50:53.519 --> 00:50:56.639
I totally understand both sides of the argument. At three
874
00:50:56.639 --> 00:50:59.239
and four, I still don't know, like there's still so
875
00:50:59.400 --> 00:51:03.639
many kind of new moving pieces within this system. And
876
00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:08.000
I also, I guess I just conceptually, I know we
877
00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:10.880
don't do full five out changes, but conceptually, I guess
878
00:51:10.920 --> 00:51:14.000
I do have issues in removing Coffee from some of
879
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:17.480
those bench minutes because he is needed in those. So like, again,
880
00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:20.039
you could still, you know, you could insert him in
881
00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:23.360
the starting lineup and switch the minutes rotations that way.
882
00:51:23.519 --> 00:51:26.119
But I would say for anybody who's like really concerned
883
00:51:26.199 --> 00:51:29.079
about Terrence Mann remaining in the starting lineup despite some
884
00:51:29.119 --> 00:51:31.599
of his hesitancy to shoot, I would go ahead and
885
00:51:31.599 --> 00:51:33.320
stress you to look at some of those some of
886
00:51:33.320 --> 00:51:36.559
those rotations, because clearly when it's not working Ty, it's
887
00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:39.320
not like tylu is giving giving Terrence a whole lot
888
00:51:39.360 --> 00:51:42.199
of slack, like he's he's not in He's not in
889
00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:43.719
closing lineups for the most part.
890
00:51:44.239 --> 00:51:46.639
Yeah, outside of I think two games he hasn't been
891
00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:49.280
in closing lineup. So maybe both were against Phoenix where
892
00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:52.039
he's pretty good against Devin Booker. So it makes a
893
00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:54.159
lot of sense. But I like what you're saying too.
894
00:51:54.239 --> 00:51:56.960
I think we get too hung up on starters and bench.
895
00:51:57.519 --> 00:52:00.360
If Chris Done still getting more minutes than him, if
896
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:02.719
a mere coffee is still getting more minutes than him,
897
00:52:03.119 --> 00:52:06.239
what does it matter? How much is it really hurting them?
898
00:52:06.280 --> 00:52:09.159
Because outside of tonight, believe it or not, the starters
899
00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:11.159
have been very good in the first eight minutes of games.
900
00:52:11.199 --> 00:52:14.199
Third quarters they hadn't been. Brian Stemen brought this up pregame.
901
00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:16.400
I brought up something that Coach Lou because I wanted
902
00:52:16.400 --> 00:52:18.000
to get his back on this because I've been talking
903
00:52:18.039 --> 00:52:20.639
about it the last twenty four hours when so many
904
00:52:20.719 --> 00:52:23.679
people were bringing out the torches and pitchforks for Coach
905
00:52:23.719 --> 00:52:26.039
Lou with that five man Labs to start the fourth
906
00:52:26.119 --> 00:52:29.039
quarter against OKCE okay, so he didn't have SGA out there,
907
00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:31.800
and he went with the same five man lineup that
908
00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:34.719
had been really good and won them two games against
909
00:52:34.719 --> 00:52:38.599
Golden State against Denver and it was KPJ, Chris Done,
910
00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:41.280
a Mere Coffee, Nico Batoum, and a Visa Zubats. Coming
911
00:52:41.320 --> 00:52:43.480
out of last weekend when they swept the road trip,
912
00:52:43.840 --> 00:52:46.239
they were a plus ten and fourteen minutes. You can
913
00:52:46.280 --> 00:52:48.679
say it's fourteen minutes, but it's also like, well, I'm
914
00:52:48.719 --> 00:52:50.679
not gonna go away from it until it stops working.
915
00:52:50.719 --> 00:52:52.760
In fact, he had that to start the second quarter
916
00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:56.039
against OKC and they played the minutes even against them,
917
00:52:56.079 --> 00:52:57.679
So then he goes to it in the fourth and
918
00:52:57.719 --> 00:53:00.679
they get ambushed and they lose. I think they're by ten,
919
00:53:01.159 --> 00:53:04.639
Like in five minutes they went minus ten. Tonight, that
920
00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:08.280
lineup started the second quarter and made the sixteen to
921
00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:12.000
two run and absolutely won them this game. They don't
922
00:53:12.079 --> 00:53:14.480
win it without him going to that lineup heavy and
923
00:53:14.519 --> 00:53:16.320
sticking with it. I love seeing that.
924
00:53:18.159 --> 00:53:20.199
Well, I mean that's the thing too, is like you
925
00:53:20.800 --> 00:53:22.559
can't have too much of a hair trigger with some
926
00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:25.440
of these things, Like we still you know, while we
927
00:53:25.480 --> 00:53:27.519
don't have a lot of margins for error, we still
928
00:53:27.559 --> 00:53:29.880
don't have a full sample size. And I think in
929
00:53:29.920 --> 00:53:33.280
that situation, especially against OKC, like you know that you're
930
00:53:33.280 --> 00:53:36.559
going you know that you're gonna need your best guys
931
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:38.559
to bookend this. Like you know that this is gonna
932
00:53:38.559 --> 00:53:41.000
be a close game. There's no way around that. Obviously
933
00:53:41.000 --> 00:53:43.800
it didn't necessarily enough that way because of that that
934
00:53:43.840 --> 00:53:47.559
massive deficit. But I like that thought process isn't so
935
00:53:48.239 --> 00:53:50.440
like alien to me that I'm like, what the like,
936
00:53:50.480 --> 00:53:51.400
what the hell is he thinking?
937
00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:51.639
You know what?
938
00:53:51.679 --> 00:53:54.639
I mean? Like that that to me doesn't it doesn't
939
00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:57.280
like it. I'm not getting any red flags or fire
940
00:53:57.320 --> 00:53:59.559
alarm bells on on that logic.
941
00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:03.480
Yeah, I kind of tried to, I don't know, get
942
00:54:03.519 --> 00:54:05.760
his back pregame with the question I asked. It was
943
00:54:05.800 --> 00:54:08.760
a little bit leading because he got frustrated when he
944
00:54:08.840 --> 00:54:11.679
was asked about not having Norm or not having James
945
00:54:11.719 --> 00:54:13.519
Harden on the court to start that fourth quarter. And
946
00:54:13.559 --> 00:54:15.840
I was thinking, wait a second, guys, he's been doing
947
00:54:15.880 --> 00:54:18.280
this and it's been working. It doesn't work in one stint,
948
00:54:18.519 --> 00:54:20.960
and now you're killing him about it, and tonight they
949
00:54:21.039 --> 00:54:23.719
win the game without those two guys on the court.
950
00:54:23.800 --> 00:54:25.400
Those are the guys that brought him back. They might
951
00:54:25.440 --> 00:54:27.599
have gone like plus twenty five or something like that.
952
00:54:27.599 --> 00:54:29.320
That lineup. I'm gonna check the lineup Dad in a
953
00:54:29.360 --> 00:54:32.239
little bit. But I'm just I'm happy to see him.
954
00:54:32.320 --> 00:54:34.960
I don't think he needs to be vindicated or validated
955
00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:37.679
or anything like that, but I'm glad that it wasn't
956
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:40.159
so reactionary that, oh it doesn't work for one stint,
957
00:54:40.199 --> 00:54:42.519
everybody's getting on me and now I'm gonna go away
958
00:54:42.519 --> 00:54:44.480
from it, when in fact it ended up winning them
959
00:54:44.480 --> 00:54:47.039
the game tonight. So I think his coaching has been
960
00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:49.519
really good so far this season and there's not much
961
00:54:49.559 --> 00:54:52.400
you can complain about there. It's a talent deficit that
962
00:54:52.440 --> 00:54:54.480
the Clippers have been at for the most part that
963
00:54:54.559 --> 00:54:57.360
has come back to bite them in late game execution tonight.
964
00:54:57.440 --> 00:54:59.440
Just two turnovers in the fourth quarter when I think
965
00:54:59.440 --> 00:55:02.880
they had god fourteen combined the last two fourth quarters.
966
00:55:02.880 --> 00:55:06.000
Like it has been absolutely brutal. He is Will Updyke
967
00:55:06.119 --> 00:55:07.880
of Clips and Dip. I think we got a show
968
00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:11.159
coming up tomorrow for you guys as well. Will Thanks
969
00:55:11.159 --> 00:55:12.960
for joining me for a little Clips and Double dip
970
00:55:13.000 --> 00:55:15.559
after the Clippers twenty six point comeback on San Antonio
971
00:55:15.599 --> 00:55:17.440
their first ever victory. Here it into a dome.
972
00:55:18.800 --> 00:55:21.079
Absolutely my pleasure. I think I'm gonna be coming on
973
00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:23.320
a lot more. I'm sensing I'm sensing a win streak.
974
00:55:23.360 --> 00:55:25.880
I don't know, call me crazy, but thanks so much
975
00:55:25.920 --> 00:55:27.039
for having me. I'll talk to you soon.
976
00:55:27.519 --> 00:55:33.360
It may be our year is will Updike loved having that.
977
00:55:34.119 --> 00:55:37.039
More of your phote calls coming up next, final segment
978
00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:39.159
eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight
979
00:55:39.239 --> 00:55:43.400
six six ninety seven two five seventy. Clippers come back
980
00:55:43.440 --> 00:55:47.039
in dramatic fashion. Heard that before, but now they do
981
00:55:47.079 --> 00:55:51.159
it into a dome. Clipper Nation. More Clippers talk right
982
00:55:51.159 --> 00:55:53.400
after this on your Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network at
983
00:55:53.440 --> 00:55:54.880
AM five seventy LA Sports.
984
00:55:56.000 --> 00:55:58.880
This is the LA Clippers Audio Network.
985
00:55:58.559 --> 00:56:00.800
Best fans, invest arena, and the entire sport.
986
00:56:00.920 --> 00:56:03.920
Take us with you wherever you are on the iHeartRadio.
987
00:56:04.239 --> 00:56:05.599
Back to Clippers basketball.
988
00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:13.159
A mere coffee goes five of six from three, had
989
00:56:13.199 --> 00:56:17.119
twenty one points and the dunk with some icing on
990
00:56:17.159 --> 00:56:21.719
it at the end, and the Clippers are able to
991
00:56:21.760 --> 00:56:25.760
come back down twenty six against the San Antonio Spurs.
992
00:56:27.519 --> 00:56:32.360
They've had two twenty six point comebacks without Kawhi Leonard
993
00:56:34.159 --> 00:56:37.480
April versus the Cavaliers. Of course, Paul George was in
994
00:56:37.559 --> 00:56:40.119
that game, and I think he crossed over Evan Mobley
995
00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:42.760
with the game winner. And then tonight versus the Spurs,
996
00:56:43.239 --> 00:56:46.079
they won't have Kawhi on Wednesday, they won't have Paul George.
997
00:56:46.079 --> 00:56:48.719
He'll be playing against them. With Philadelphia back in this building,
998
00:56:49.199 --> 00:56:51.840
well for the first time for him, Clipper Nation back
999
00:56:51.840 --> 00:56:55.400
in this building, add into a dome tiptime Wednesday night,
1000
00:56:55.559 --> 00:57:00.440
seven pm, six pm. Is your pregame show? Clippers are
1001
00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:04.880
three and four. Look, it is one game. I understand
1002
00:57:05.239 --> 00:57:07.440
you want to say it's one game. I'm gonna say
1003
00:57:07.480 --> 00:57:10.159
the Clippers relocated their identity and remembered how they have
1004
00:57:10.239 --> 00:57:15.039
to play with grit, determination, toughness and a high basketball
1005
00:57:15.079 --> 00:57:18.119
IQ when they had to have it, when they had
1006
00:57:18.159 --> 00:57:20.320
to be crisp. Just two turnovers in the fourth quarter.
1007
00:57:20.400 --> 00:57:23.719
You live at that all day. I mean, they pulled
1008
00:57:23.760 --> 00:57:28.599
away in an unreal fashion. They never got into clutch
1009
00:57:28.639 --> 00:57:32.920
time after being down twenty six. They somehow passed up
1010
00:57:32.960 --> 00:57:36.199
San Antonio so quickly in the fourth quarter with the
1011
00:57:36.239 --> 00:57:41.519
threes with Big Zoo dunking on Wemby that they never
1012
00:57:41.559 --> 00:57:44.079
got into clutch time last five minutes, within five points
1013
00:57:44.719 --> 00:57:48.320
after down twenty six. It's a thirty five point turnaround.
1014
00:57:48.719 --> 00:57:52.519
One thirteen to one oh four is your final Let
1015
00:57:52.559 --> 00:57:56.440
me look at the Paul George stats from today, as
1016
00:57:56.440 --> 00:57:59.400
people in the chat at Clippers Talk on YouTube are
1017
00:57:59.440 --> 00:58:03.360
talking about, I know he came back. I'm just glad
1018
00:58:03.440 --> 00:58:08.320
he's it wasn't worse that injury. He's able to play,
1019
00:58:08.360 --> 00:58:12.320
and that injury wasn't worse because it looked terrifying at first,
1020
00:58:12.320 --> 00:58:16.440
did it not? It looked very similar to the OKC injury.
1021
00:58:17.239 --> 00:58:21.400
Kadi had a clutch bucket and Phoenix would win one
1022
00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:24.599
eighteen to one sixteen over the Philadelphia seventy six ers.
1023
00:58:24.800 --> 00:58:28.480
Paul George four fourteen, one of seven from three, fifteen points,
1024
00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:33.320
four assists, five boards, six turnovers. Still was a plus
1025
00:58:33.360 --> 00:58:38.119
three in a game they lost by two. But that's
1026
00:58:38.159 --> 00:58:41.880
gonna be fun Wednesday night. I know Cliper Nations looking
1027
00:58:41.920 --> 00:58:45.199
forward to that. I know plenty of people are gonna
1028
00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:47.360
boo Paul George, and I think it might be seventy
1029
00:58:47.400 --> 00:58:50.840
eighty percent. He called him the b team said they
1030
00:58:50.840 --> 00:58:53.079
did him dirty because they only offered one hundred and
1031
00:58:53.079 --> 00:58:58.199
fifty million. I mean, I think this organization did right
1032
00:58:58.239 --> 00:59:01.400
by him. I think they brought in every player he wanted,
1033
00:59:01.480 --> 00:59:06.800
Russell Westbrook, Reggie Jackson, John Wall. If he wanted to
1034
00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:10.079
play on ball, the acquiesced. He wanted to play off ball,
1035
00:59:10.159 --> 00:59:13.840
the acquiesced. So I know there's gonna be no mercy
1036
00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:18.719
from Clipernation on Wednesday night. I am gonna reflect on
1037
00:59:18.760 --> 00:59:21.159
the good times with PG thirteen. I'd like to remember
1038
00:59:21.199 --> 00:59:26.079
those instead of, you know, him contradicting himself on a
1039
00:59:26.119 --> 00:59:30.599
podcast and talking about the situation here. Because he did
1040
00:59:30.639 --> 00:59:32.599
help get them to the Western Conference Finals for the
1041
00:59:32.599 --> 00:59:39.119
first time in franchise history. I just know what's coming
1042
00:59:39.320 --> 00:59:42.880
Wednesday for him. I don't know if he's prepared for that,
1043
00:59:45.119 --> 00:59:47.519
but I hope he's good to go, and it's not
1044
00:59:47.639 --> 00:59:50.039
something where first came back from injury. Now he's got
1045
00:59:50.039 --> 00:59:53.519
to take a couple of days off. I would assume
1046
00:59:53.679 --> 00:59:58.960
he'll be ready to go. Everybody can respond with a
1047
00:59:59.039 --> 01:00:02.679
paying ticket how they I want to within you know
1048
01:00:02.760 --> 01:00:05.280
the balance of what that ticket also says. You know,
1049
01:00:05.360 --> 01:00:08.840
there is a code of conduct for fans, but booing, cheering,
1050
01:00:08.880 --> 01:00:11.559
whatever you're feeling like for Paul George, it will be
1051
01:00:11.599 --> 01:00:14.320
welcome on Wednesday. And I'm glad they got their first
1052
01:00:14.360 --> 01:00:16.880
victory out of the way and in dramatic fashion, in
1053
01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:21.480
Clippers fashion like this heading into that game, so momentum
1054
01:00:21.519 --> 01:00:27.119
hopefully build off of it. Julio Muchada says in the chat.
1055
01:00:27.239 --> 01:00:29.320
These are the must win games, Adam, like you said,
1056
01:00:29.639 --> 01:00:31.920
against lottery teams, so we can stay at a fifty
1057
01:00:31.920 --> 01:00:34.719
percent win rate by the time Kawhi returns. Greetings from Italy.
1058
01:00:35.000 --> 01:00:40.199
What's up, Julio? You know I'm Sicilian love hearing from you.
1059
01:00:41.719 --> 01:00:44.119
Uh what time is it there? By the way, Julio,
1060
01:00:45.559 --> 01:00:48.840
I want to know, But yeah, this is a game.
1061
01:00:49.000 --> 01:00:51.199
I mean, if you drop the first game against Portland
1062
01:00:51.239 --> 01:00:56.599
and the San Antonio Spurs, that just can't happen. Stay
1063
01:00:56.599 --> 01:00:59.920
it for around five hundred before Kawhi gets back. When
1064
01:01:00.239 --> 01:01:04.559
if that happens, we're hoping that obviously it's still a win.
1065
01:01:05.599 --> 01:01:11.320
We don't know anything otherwise, but you have to handle
1066
01:01:12.400 --> 01:01:15.760
your business against lower tier teams in the Western Conference,
1067
01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:18.880
especially they get San Antonio three more times, they get
1068
01:01:18.960 --> 01:01:23.239
Portland three more times. That needs to be six wins period.
1069
01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:25.880
If you want a chance of finishing six through ten
1070
01:01:26.199 --> 01:01:28.039
in the West, I think six is the high end
1071
01:01:29.320 --> 01:01:32.880
them just staying out of the plan, and I'm hoping
1072
01:01:32.960 --> 01:01:35.559
ten is the low end and they won't be worse
1073
01:01:35.599 --> 01:01:41.599
than that. But look, it's one win. It puts some
1074
01:01:41.639 --> 01:01:44.480
wind in your sales. Here, it into a dome making waves,
1075
01:01:45.519 --> 01:01:47.159
and a lot of it was due to shooting fifty
1076
01:01:47.159 --> 01:01:50.920
one percent from three. Is that sustainable. No, But the
1077
01:01:50.960 --> 01:01:54.039
heart and the effort and the determination to come back
1078
01:01:54.079 --> 01:01:56.800
down twenty six is that's what we've always seen from
1079
01:01:56.800 --> 01:02:02.320
this team. So I'm proud of the effort and I'm
1080
01:02:02.320 --> 01:02:06.199
proud of Big Zoo not giving up when you could
1081
01:02:06.199 --> 01:02:08.599
crumble going up against Wemby and having your shot block
1082
01:02:08.719 --> 01:02:10.800
like that, when nobody else can get to those blocks
1083
01:02:10.800 --> 01:02:14.039
and Wemby can, that has to be demoralizing into flating.
1084
01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:17.800
And instead Big Zoo came back and he dunked on
1085
01:02:17.840 --> 01:02:22.599
him multiple times. That was the highlight of the game
1086
01:02:22.639 --> 01:02:26.159
to me. Big Zoo dunks that Norman pal three with
1087
01:02:26.239 --> 01:02:32.000
the nylon from Carlo our first of the season, Chris
1088
01:02:32.079 --> 01:02:36.199
Dunn unleashing the dog in him against CP three going
1089
01:02:36.239 --> 01:02:41.920
for that loose ball foul on Chris Paul. That's the
1090
01:02:41.960 --> 01:02:46.960
type of stuff I love seeing. And yeah, the Clippers
1091
01:02:47.000 --> 01:02:49.639
also need to make sure they stay in front of
1092
01:02:49.719 --> 01:02:52.599
the Houston Rockets. So okay See at the end of
1093
01:02:52.639 --> 01:02:55.360
the year takes the lower pick between the two pickswaps
1094
01:02:55.840 --> 01:02:59.639
and hopefully Houston's is the better pick in the draft,
1095
01:02:59.719 --> 01:03:02.000
meaning that's the one okay See will want to take
1096
01:03:03.679 --> 01:03:06.400
over the Clippers so they can hold onto their first
1097
01:03:06.440 --> 01:03:09.800
round pick. Zachary said he chatted with my guy Dime
1098
01:03:09.840 --> 01:03:11.360
at the half and wanted to say we were going
1099
01:03:11.440 --> 01:03:13.639
to win. But I've done that every game so far,
1100
01:03:13.800 --> 01:03:16.159
so glad I was wrong. Let's build off this. Something
1101
01:03:16.239 --> 01:03:21.480
has to be born tonight. You know, guys know me.
1102
01:03:21.519 --> 01:03:23.079
I don't like to toot my own horn or pat
1103
01:03:23.079 --> 01:03:24.960
myself on the back, but I did come into this
1104
01:03:25.000 --> 01:03:27.440
one and tell big brother jk hey, I'm making a
1105
01:03:27.440 --> 01:03:30.440
Big Brother Jake like level guaranteed that the Clippers win tonight.
1106
01:03:30.760 --> 01:03:32.679
Did it look good when they were down twenty six? No,
1107
01:03:33.280 --> 01:03:36.519
I look like a fool, But I did point out
1108
01:03:36.679 --> 01:03:38.239
that if they can come back and win this game,
1109
01:03:38.280 --> 01:03:40.599
it's exactly the type of win they need to build
1110
01:03:40.639 --> 01:03:43.400
off of. This is who they are. This is who
1111
01:03:43.440 --> 01:03:45.760
they've always been. You count them out, they come back
1112
01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:49.960
on you. But it has to turn into a victory
1113
01:03:50.000 --> 01:03:52.519
now on Wednesday against Paul George and the Philadelphia seventy
1114
01:03:52.559 --> 01:03:56.079
six ers. If something was born out of this night,
1115
01:03:57.000 --> 01:04:01.079
it can't end with them a loss the very next
1116
01:04:01.119 --> 01:04:02.800
ball game. Right back here, it into a dome, right,
1117
01:04:05.079 --> 01:04:07.719
You got to see this turn into a string of victories,
1118
01:04:09.119 --> 01:04:10.920
at least two in a row before they head out
1119
01:04:10.920 --> 01:04:14.079
on the road. Establish yourself in your new home. Now.
1120
01:04:15.039 --> 01:04:18.840
I expect Clipper Nation to be even louder for that one,
1121
01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:21.960
not just because because it's Paul George, but because they
1122
01:04:21.960 --> 01:04:25.840
know what this Clippers team is capable of. They finally
1123
01:04:25.920 --> 01:04:29.239
got a victory here, it into a dome, and they
1124
01:04:29.320 --> 01:04:33.559
got it in the most Clippers way possible. That's what
1125
01:04:33.639 --> 01:04:40.480
you love. This kind of reinvigorates you as a fan
1126
01:04:40.599 --> 01:04:42.639
and renews your love with this team when you see
1127
01:04:42.679 --> 01:04:50.519
victories like this, This is what it's about. Clipper's overcoming odds, grinding,
1128
01:04:51.280 --> 01:04:57.719
finding a way, a mere coffee. He was on his
1129
01:04:57.760 --> 01:05:01.159
way to a twenty one point night. Nine in the third,
1130
01:05:01.440 --> 01:05:06.800
ten points in the fourth, Big Zoo just battling in
1131
01:05:06.840 --> 01:05:11.360
an absolute war with Wemby, and it was won by
1132
01:05:11.400 --> 01:05:15.360
a big Zoo. Late Wemby can have his nine blocks.
1133
01:05:15.840 --> 01:05:18.039
He still went nine of twenty two, two of nine
1134
01:05:18.039 --> 01:05:23.239
from three. He had thirteen boards. It doesn't matter. Big
1135
01:05:23.320 --> 01:05:28.079
Zoo got the w and continued to push this team
1136
01:05:28.159 --> 01:05:30.280
forward and was on the floor when they made that
1137
01:05:30.360 --> 01:05:33.239
big run in the second quarter to get him right
1138
01:05:33.239 --> 01:05:36.199
back in it right away here down forty to fourteen,
1139
01:05:36.239 --> 01:05:38.239
They win the second quarter thirty four to sixteen. They
1140
01:05:38.280 --> 01:05:40.760
win the ballgame one thirteen to one oh four to
1141
01:05:40.800 --> 01:05:43.079
get their first ever win. Hear it into a dome.
1142
01:05:44.119 --> 01:05:48.239
What a night Cliper Nation. Remember this one. History was made.
1143
01:05:50.920 --> 01:05:53.400
There's much more to be done, but first ever victory
1144
01:05:53.559 --> 01:05:59.079
here and into a dome historic, and the Clippers do
1145
01:05:59.239 --> 01:06:05.039
so in typical Clippers fashion. Before we get out of here,
1146
01:06:05.320 --> 01:06:08.199
I do want to thank the Clippers organization, Steve Balmer,
1147
01:06:09.519 --> 01:06:14.199
God bless Steve Bomer. This one's for Steve Bomer. He
1148
01:06:14.320 --> 01:06:16.840
built this home for the Clippers when they have never
1149
01:06:16.920 --> 01:06:20.599
had one. Big thanks to Ralph Lawler, Brian Seeman, Noah Ego,
