(00:00):
The game is over all George Moneyin the pain, but the postgame reaction
has just begot Gohi Leonard is sosmooth in the mid range. This is
Clippers Locker Room, a recap oftoday's game and a look ahead on your
hope for LA Clippers basketball. Andnow your host, you, sir,
are a bad man, Adam Ousley. Clippers fall on their third straight game.

(00:25):
They lose, this time one ohoeight to one oh one at home
to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Welcome intoyour post game show. Coming up,
we'll get your post game box scorer, your final box scorer. You'll hear
from Coach Low and the players.But first we get back over to your
voice of the Clippers in Noah Eagle. Just a brutal loss in this one,
Noah, especially coming off the waythey battled in those last two games
against top tier competition. Now they'velost the tiebreaker to the Minnesota Timberwolves and

(00:50):
they've dropped to the seventh spot inthe West after this loss tonight. Yeah,
I mean, that's it's just youcan't drop these games, and the
urgency has to come eventually. Ithink that's the key for this team.
It just doesn't feel like the urgencyis there yet, and there's eighteen games
left in the season at them now, at the end of the day,
they can rip off a bunch ofdifferent wins, they can rip off a

(01:10):
bunch of different streaks and all willbe fine. And that's the nature of
the beast of the NBA is thatwhen you're not winning, it feels like
you're never gonna win, and whenyou're not losing, it feels like you're
never gonna lose. But there's gottabe a happy medium there, and right
now it just feels like it ison one end of the spectrum and not
the other. The Clippers just can'tget out of their own way. And
today twenty five turnovers leading to twentynine Minnesota points. That's that's just unacceptable

(01:33):
for a team that not only wantsagain the playoffs, but believes they can
win a championship this year. That'snot gonna fly. Yeah, they put
themselves in an uphill battle after thatfirst quarter, and you brought it up
at the end of the first quarter. They let Minnesota start to feel good
about themselves and a team that wasdesperate for a win by the way,
you know, a wounded animal isa dangerous one. They also have some
injuries, and they stepped up andtook advantage and took advantage of the opportunities,

(01:55):
and the Clippers gave them no question. So you give Minnesota a hard
they go a mile with it.And six players in double figures for the
Timberwolves tonight, for a team thatwas struggling to score and still did only
one hundred eight points in this game. The Clippers had been averaging one hundred
and thirty four in their previous fourgames. They put up one oh one
tonight, So the offense sputters out. Look. The worst part is that

(02:17):
it doesn't get much easier after this. You go to Golden State, where
they've been great at home. Thenit's a back to back at Sacramento,
a team you just had an oldtime thriller with. Then you get back
home and you get Memphis, thenumber one, number two team in the
Western Conference. Then Toronto, who'splaying a lot better with the Aka Purtle
back there, the Nicks, whoare on a six game winning streak right

(02:37):
now, and then the Warriors againonce here at home. Not to mention
Memphis twice on a two game miniseriesin Memphis You've got who else is on
that trip, two game miniseries inMemphis, I know Portlands on the road
as well. You've got Phoenix onthe road as well in New Orleans.
So you've got teams that are allplayoff teams. You've got teams that are

(02:59):
going to be difficult. So that'sa two game mini series in Memphis and
a game in New Orleans. It'sjust it's not going to be simple for
this team. The majority of theirschedule is against playoff caliber teams, including
the Oklahoma City Thunder who they havea two game mini series with here at
home. And they lost that twogame mini series on the road to the
beginning of the year, and thatwas really when things started to spiral a
little bit out of control. Soyou know games that you look pat back

(03:22):
on over the course of the seasonthat probably should have been wins, this
one included, and you start toadd it up in your in your head
and see, man, that isjust absolutely brutal for the Clippers to not
find a way to get through andknock stockpile those wins. And so this
was another example of that they gotthey gotta race a quickly, find a
way to get past it and headto this back to back on the road

(03:44):
and just find a confidence level thatright now they are lacking. It's gotta
start Thursday in San Francisco against theGolden State Warriors. Tip time for that
one is at seven. We'll haveClippers countdown your pregame shows starting at six.
No Eagles safe travels up north.I don't know if you find some
gym boys up there, but thecall is always my friend. Yeah,
well, we'll see how it goes. I'm sure that I'll be down to

(04:04):
go full cheesy with it. Can'twait, can't wait. Coming up,
I'll get to your final box score. Clippers lose one o eight to one
oh one here at home to theMinnesota Timberwolves, and you're listening to the
Los Angeles Clippers Radio. Hen hegot it. Count it from distance,
the odds on favorite to hoist theLarry o'bright heavily contest it and it doesn't

(04:25):
matter. On the home of yourLA Clippers. The Clippers lose one O
eight to one oh one. Herefrom Crypto dot Com arena, it's Madam
Oslin live with your post game show. Welcome back in coming up on a
M five seventy LA Sports, wewill have Clippers stock for you. Eight
six six nine eight seven two fiveseventy eight six six nine eight seven two

(04:45):
five seventy is the phone number.Clippers end up shooting just forty two percent
from the field eleven or twenty eightfrom the outside. That's thirty nine percent.
That's not a terrible percentage, butit's interesting that they only attempted twenty
eight three pointers in this game.Of course, you can say when you
have twenty five turnovers, you're gettingless shots up, and Minnesota did get

(05:10):
up even with their nineteen turnovers,seven more shots than the Clippers, who
were not able to overcome a bigdeficit heading into the fourth quarter. They
had it to within six multiple times. They had it to within four,
but had some bad possessions down thestretch. The turnovers also continued in crucial
moments. Russell Westbrook had a coupleof them, Paul George and the Clippers

(05:32):
overall just they couldn't find anybody withthe hot hand for a consistent period of
time. Kawhi Leonard went through ashooting funk in this one. He finished
with twenty three but on nineteen shotsseven of nineteen Paul George twenty five on
ten of twenty one shooting off thebench. Norman Powell did have ten of
his thirteen points in the fourth quarterand gave them a shot in the arm

(05:55):
to start things off as they triedto climb back into this one, but
not enough defensively down the stretch.They gave up key buckets to the Minnesota
Timberwolves after timeouts. As Jay McDanielsfinished with twenty points, he hit a
huge three pointer in the fourth quarter. Anthony Edwards just eighteen, but Rudy
Gobert sixteen, a couple of blocks, a big throwdown, had an and

(06:17):
one in the fourth quarter, andthe Clippers would lose this one by seven.
Tough one, Clipper Nation, I'vebeen saying that way too much lately.
They fall one o eight to oneoh one. Here back at home
to the Timberwolves. Coming up next, We're looking for postgame audio from the
head coach and the players in wholepreview Thursday's game up in San Francisco against

(06:40):
the Golden State Waters. This isyour Clippers postgame show here in the Los
Angeles Clippers regular George and Leonard running. You're listening to La Clippers basketball it
up to clip puts it down plusthe foul every game of all season long
on their official holds Timbers for downby thirteen. No comeback in this one

(07:00):
as they lose one o eight toone oh one, unless you want to
say it was the Minnesota Timberwolves whodid it, as the Clippers led by
twelve early in the first corner justto lose by seven. Final score Timberwolves
one o eight of Los Angeles Clippersone oh one. Clippers next game coming

(07:21):
up Thursday. If this was alust win, necessary win, well,
Thursday, they gotta have it againstthe Golden State Warriors, who will likely
still be without Steph Curry up northin San Francisco. Tip time for that
one is at seven, as they'reon the front end of a back to
back. They'll be in Sacramento onFriday. It's a team who just put

(07:46):
up one hundred and seventy six pointsagainst them, and the Clippers lost double
over tide of the second highest scoringgame of all time last Friday night.
But it starts with Golden State Thursday. Gotta focus on that one. They
gotta find a way to get it. Pregame show will be at six on

straight and the Clippers throughout twenty ofred meat in the form of twenty five
turnovers as the Timberwolves would go onto win one o eight to one oh
one. Here at Crypto dot comarena over to Los Angeles Clippers. Welcome

(09:41):

two five seventy eight six six nineeight seven two five seventy is the phone
number, or you can get tome on Twitter at follow Adam A coming
up on the show, we'll Updikefrom Clips and dip Pod will be here.
You'll hear from the head coach inToronto, lou and the players Clipper
Nation. I cannot overstate how difficultof a loss this is for the Clippers

(10:05):
as a team that had lost threein a row. Now sent them to
losing three straight after they had playedtheir hearts out against Sacramento and lost in
double ot on Friday night, andthen lost in overtime against Denver, and
what would have been their best victoryof the season, they didn't get it,
and they compound things by losing tonightagainst a team that is near them

(10:30):
in the standings. Will update youon those in the Western Conference coming up,
but Minnesota didn't have Carl Anthony Towns. Clippers got Big Zoo of Vitza
Zoobots back in this one, andit looked like they were in control.
That first quarter had them up bytwelve, but near the end of it
there were some warning signs defensively.After the Clippers came out and played a

(10:54):
much better first quarter than they didagainst the Kings, where they gave up
forty points than they did against Denver. They gave up thirty five. They
were up by twelve, they werecontrolling things, they were in sync on
the defensive end. It was fiveguys on a string and it was thirty
two to twenty after Terrence Man hada layup off a nice assist from Kawhi

(11:15):
Leonard with one thirteen left in thefirst quarter, and this is where I
believe the game swung back in Minnesota'sfavor, in their favor to begin with,
they would knock down two three pointersto end the first and you go
from being up twelve to then justbeing up by seven, and Minnesota was
feeling good about themselves. They sawthe ball go through the hoop a couple

(11:39):
of times and from then on,after scoring just twenty six points in the
first quarter, they had thirty twoin the second, and at the half,
the Clippers were down by two afterleading this one by twelve and looking
like it could be their night tohave a dominating victory over a lesser opponent

(12:01):
that has struggled this season, evenwith Rudy Gobert, but they've had their
own injury issues. They trade D'AngeloRussell. Anthony Edwards didn't even have a
great game six of eighteen, butJade McDaniels does. He has twenty points.
It's his fourth twenty plus point game, first those since January second,

(12:24):
and he averaged eleven points in thetwenty five games after that leading up to
this one where he burns the Clipperslate with a huge three pointer as the
Clippers were in an uphill battle headinginto the fourth quarter. After a third

(12:45):
where they had nine turnovers nine oftheir twenty five, they were down by
eleven as they entered the fourth.They put themselves in a miserable position that
they were not able to overcome.The closest they got was four, and
that was very late in the fourthquarter and almost an inconsequential time after Russell

(13:05):
Westbrook hit a three pointer at oneoh five to one oh one with forty
two seconds left. But before that, the backbreaking shot may have been this.
Clippers are down six with three twentyone left, plenty of time,
had some momentum after Norman Powell,who had ten of his thirteen points in
the fourth after and I know he'llbe kicking himself for this, but he

(13:31):
had a play in the third quarterwhere he was arguing a call in the
far side corner, missed the shot, didn't get the foul, but the
Clippers got the offensive rebound, andNicholas Batoum was looking for him back in
that corner. He passed it over, but Norman Powell wasn't looking for it
because he was arguing with the official. There's eighteen games left now, that

(13:54):
stuff can't happen. This laid intothe season, especially when you're not playing
well and you gotta value every possession, something the Clippers have not been doing.
And two of their last three gamesnow they've had twenty five turnovers.
They had it against Sacramento, butin that game, well, they had
ten minutes of overtime, going intodouble overtime five minutes in each. They

(14:18):
were bad. Tonight they were worse. Unbelievably. Kawhi Leonard actually had a
conversation on the court with Norman Powelland those who have a history. They
won a championship together in Toronto,and the famous clip of Norm trying to
get a fist bump from Kawai andhim not giving it to him and just
pointing, hey, we got agame to play here. So that was

(14:43):
a brutal play. He tried tomake out four in the fourth quarter,
had ten of his thirteen there andthe Clippers were within six at the three
twenty one mark of the fourth,but out of that time out, Jade
McDaniels got a very good look ata three pointer. It wasn't a defender
close to him, and he knockedit down to get to his twenty points

(15:07):
on eight of twelve, shooting twoor five from the outside, but that
won't put him up by nine.Clippers after that, they had some pretty
poor possessions. Paul George did whathe could. He had a dunk,
brought it to within seven. Hehit a three pointer got it to within
five with a minute forty seven left, but then Kyle Anderson hit a floater

(15:33):
to put them back up by seven. And in between that there was a
tough miss by Russell Westbrook in apossession that was completely devoid of ball movement,
stagnant. I don't think anybody elsetouched it. Russ got the defensive
rebound on the other end, broughtit into the front court with about a
minute left. Liked his matchup againstMike Conley, took him into the paint,

(15:58):
tried to fade away from twelve feetout short and he had a couple
of turnovers in this fourth quarter whereone of them was off of a steel
and he got into transition, gota little bit out of control, tried
to save the ball from going outof bounds, couldn't get it to Kawhi
Leonard who was there, but itended up eventually turning into another turnover and

(16:25):
then he found or he was lookingfor a vizza. Zobots on the interior,
made a tough pass to him,went through his hands, and I'm
not putting it on one guy.Russ had a really good first half,
an amazing first half in this one, where I want to say he had
eight assists to two turnovers. Wascompletely in control of the ball game,

(16:48):
but had some tough possessions down thestretch as a few Clippers. And they
lose this one, and they haven'twon a game yet with Russell Westbrook.
Level of competition of course matters.But tonight you thought, okay, get
right game. They're back home,Minnesota's down a few players. Clippers are
getting the beats to zoobots Back,who look good overall. He had twelve

(17:08):
and nine, was moving well.He had a great putback in the fourth
off of miss from Russ. Thisis when they had to have. This
is one where you're close enough tothe end of the season that you're going
to look back upon maybe the lastthree let's say that's maybe what did the

(17:30):
Clippers in. Nothing's determined yet.The West is yet to be won.
But make no mistake, these gamesall matter right now in terms of seeding
and where you can end up,and you don't want to make it any
more difficult for yourself to get throughthe West to the NBA Finals. And

(17:52):
right now the Clippers just aren't playinglike a championship team, a contender.
Twenty five turnovers in two of thelast three games is pretty inexcusable. That
will give you losses. And twoof those games where they had the twenty
five turnovers against Sacramento and against theTimberwolves night both at home, and the

(18:18):
Clippers got off to a good starttonight. It's baffling to see them implode
like this. You want to sayit's the new guys and lack of familiarity
and building up chemistry and rotations andlineups and different players on the court next
to one another. I can buyit to a degree. Not a lot
of it though. It was justsloppy basketball, unserious basketball, as the

(18:45):
kids would say. And this team, it was a flaw early on this
season that it looked to be fixedover the last two months where the Clippers
were of the best teams when itcame in taking care of the basketball.
After getting off to a star thisyear in the first month and a half
or they were given up sixteen turnoversper game. But it's reared. It's
ugly head again. The turnover issuedid them in Tonight Clippers lose one o

(19:11):
eight to one oh one at hometo the Minnesota Timberwolves. Before you get
to your phone calls, let's pauseten seconds for station identification. Here on
AM five seventy l A Sports,this is LA Clippers Basketball. A five
seventy KLAC Los Angeles, seven KYSRHD two Los Angeles and iHeart radio station.

(19:33):
Clippers lose by seven in a gamethey really needed because now they're dangerously
close to being in the play intournament. They're hanging on by a thread
right now. It just makes Thursday'sgame even bigger. It's a back to
back, starting with the Golden StateWarriors Thursday than the Sacramento Kings on Friday.
All right, let's start with Mikein La. Mike, you're on

(19:56):
Clippers stop without am oslind And youknow, I gotta say if unless this
season results in the championship, Ithink Taylu needs to go. I mean,
as I'm a huge Taylu fan,I hate saying this, but you
know, the lack of seriousness aboutthis team, as you said, they're
just not serious all season is Imean, you have to put that on

(20:21):
the coach. He you know,they had such a great thing going into
the All Star break. Then yougo, you change up all the rotations,
you go away from what was working, and you know this is the
result. I mean, it justyou know, I understand he says he
wants to tinker, he wants todo whatever, but you can only tinker
so much. You had you youhad what was working, you know,

(20:45):
for the you know, a coupleof months before the All Star Breaker,
a couple few weeks before the AllStar Break, whatever it was, and
then you just go away from that. That just it doesn't make any sense.
It's inexplicable. I understand your frustrationright now because experimenting with nineteen games
left now, eighteen games left,it just seems like a dangerous game.

(21:06):
Part of it is necessary because youhave four new players now after the trade
deadline. But you mentioned they hadtwo really good bit wins, and that
Phoenix one was one of the bestof the season. Terrence Man may have
had his best regular season game everin that one. I thought he was
the best player on the floor withhis twenty six. He thought you had
momentum going into the All Star break. Terrence Man ends up playing twenty two

(21:30):
minutes in this one. Nicholas Beatumjust twenty Your newest Clipper, Russell Westbrook
at twenty seven, Marcus Moore's attwenty one minutes, Kawai and PG heavy
minutes. Kawai a thirty eight onceagain didn't have his best tonight. But
you can't expect him to play likeSuperman every night either. Nights like this

(21:51):
we're gonna happen. Somebody else hasto perform. The deepest team in the
NBA coming into this season, theygot a fin and energy elsewhere. They
gotta find buckets elsewhere. And reallythis has come down to them being so
much worse on defense than I everwould have imagined, especially with the start

(22:11):
they got off to this year.And I appreciate the phone called Mike.
There were a top five defense throughthe first couple of months of the season.
Do you know where they're ranked defensivelysince the start of the new year
the last two months now twenty seven? How can that happen? Now?

(22:32):
They're second in offense over that time. And I know they've had some injuries
and missing Big Zoo the last twogames was huge, but they had them
tonight and they couldn't get stopped whenthey needed to. This is a brutal
loss, a crippling loss. Hopefullynot a fatal loss for the Clippers.

(22:53):
They still have eighteen games left.But I told you the other night,
after disappointpointments against the Kings in doubletand the Denver Nuggets INOT in Denver,
when you could have picked up twowins there, especially the one against Sacramento
where you're up by fourteen with underfive minutes left, that game has to
be won. They lost it fourdifferent times, nine point lead after that,

(23:15):
six point lead, six point leads, and overtime. When you start
giving away games like that, youcan't have it bleed into the next contest.
You can't have one loss turn intothree. And that's what seems to
have happened now over this three gamelosing street for the Clippers. Eight six
six nine eight seven two five seventyeight six six nine eight seven two five

(23:38):
seventy is the phone number coming back. We'll get to your phone calls.
We're looking for postgame audio from coachSlew as well Clippers losing this one one
o eight to one oh one tothe Minnesota Timberwolves in a game they desperately
needed, and they need to playwith some desperation from here on out.

(24:02):
Don't care who's on the court.To get to the playoffs, you gotta
start playing better basketball because right nowthey're headed towards the play in, not
the position they want to be in. Who's the team they played in the
play in last year, Minnesota.They beat them again tonight and they win

(24:22):
the season series, meaning they havethe tiebreaker against the Clippers. So yeah,
if I'm a little bit fired uptonight, there's a few reasons why
the predation will offer positives. Ofcourse, as always here too eighteen games
left. There's still time, butthe runway is getting short. Listening to

(24:47):
the Clipper stock, you're on AMfive seventy l A Sports and he got
it. Count it from distance.The odds on favorite to hoist the Larry
O'Brien heavily contested, and it doesn'tmatter on the home of your LA Clippers
numbers. Lose one o eight toone oh one and as close as you
can get to a must win inthe regular season contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves,

(25:07):
welcome back into Clippers stock. I'mata Moslin to eight sixty six nine
eight seven two five seventy eight sixsix nine eight seven two five seventy is
the phone number? Have the Clipperstried too many changes recently? Is it
just unrealistic to make this thing workand to have enough guy's Jael who are

(25:29):
playing big roles when they just broughthim in. I don't know. It's
not looking good right now. Look, they played amazing basketball at times against
Sacramento, at times against Denver,but they were still losses. Tonight,
I'd say they had about ten orfifteen minutes of good basketball, not good

(25:51):
enough against any team in this league, but a team that was hungry like
the Timberwolves, that is now justa game back of the Clippers. Clippers
are in the sixth spot in theWest, they are in a precarious position.
Dallas bumps down to seven. They'rein the play in currently a half
game back of the Clippers. Butwhat makes this loss even worse is because

(26:18):
Minnesota wins the season series against theClippers, and that's the first tiebreaker.
You hope that doesn't come back tohaunt him. Clippers will see Golden State,
who's right in front of them,because while they have one less win,
they have one less loss, they'rein the five spot. They'll see
him Thursday night in San Francisco,Eddie. In Whittier, Eddie, you're

(26:41):
on Clippers stop without Amasa? What'sup? Hey? What's up? Bad
him? I agree? I thinkthe team just has too much depth and
guys just don't know their role rightnow. You know, I think there's
been too much change as of late. And one thing I've noticed too is
Norman Powell was really you know,scoring high the last couple of games when
we were winning, and he hasn'tbeen putting up those numbers out of late

(27:03):
either. So, you know,I think it's just too much going on.
Just the team's too deep and peoplejust don't know their role. You
wonder if there's too many moving partsright now and too many guys have to
be integrated during the most important partof the regular season. That is my
concern. Norm Powell. No,it's a good point, Eddie. I

(27:26):
appreciate the phone call and you bringit up Norm Powell. Before the break,
he didn't play against Phoenix, Remember, but Eric Gordon had a really
good game. Who currently is doinga Q and A with Noah Eagle here
a post game on the court.So is he was finding his sea legs
with the Clippers, so to speak, is Bones Highland and Mason Plumley were

(27:51):
finding the roles. And I'm notworried about Mason Plumley. You know,
he's a guy who can just plugand play because of the position, because
how needed he is. He isyour backup center. There's no doubt about
it. There's no question about peckingorder or who's gonna get minutes behind.
It beats the zoobos now, buthow many minutes are going to Norman Powell?

(28:11):
He played twenty four to night,he was four or fourteen. He
did most of his damage on thefourth quarter, which he's done all season
long, where he's been shooting Ithink fifty two percent in fourth quarters.
But thirteen points to night, justnine against Denver. The two games before
that twenty four twenty four and thensixteen before that twenty four, fourteen,
twenty four, twenty six, twentyseven, he was putting up huge numbers.

(28:34):
He was starring in his role onhis way to winning six minut of
the Year or at least being inThe conversation at top three has to be
you wonder how guys adjust to seeingnew players coming in that are taking up
some of their minutes because we thought, okay, they consolidated some of the

(28:57):
talent in the back court. Wellthen they bring us in. That changes
everything. Terrence Man was the starter, now he's not. They had just
won ten of their last fourteen andeight of two at one point before the
All Star break. Now they've lostthree in a row out of it.
I'm not putting it on one player. It's not and I'm not putting it
just on the coach. It's not. Some of it is understandable. Some

(29:19):
of it though, these turnovers.Maybe we were wrong to think that they
could turn things around in that areabecause we talked about building good championship habits.
They built some bad ones and they'restill lingering. And the turnovers they've
been there, the offensive rebounds theygive up. There was a big one

(29:41):
in the fourth quarter against tonight.It happened against Denver as well. That's
stuff that started off this season iscoming back to haunt them right now.
Jeff leaving the game, Jeff,you're on Clippers stop without imsl say Adam
up. Yeah, just a couplethoughts. I think Morris needs to slide

(30:03):
to the back of the bench,and they need to put Man back in
the starting lineup along with Russell andand then take bones Highland and put him
into the second unit. And that'sjust my thought. There's ardor I'm sorry,
Covington into the second unit along withbones Hiland. So that's just my

(30:26):
thought. But do you think it'srealistic though, that Marcus Moore's all of
a sudden is going to just stopplaying when he's been a starter for this
team for two and a half threeyears. He doesn't he doesn't get rebounds,
he doesn't play the defense, andhe hasn't been hit a three point
shot at all, and we needto mix it up. So I can't.
I'm not arguing with you. Iunderstand where you're coming from. He's

(30:48):
had just one of the toughest runsof his career the last couple of months
and has not excelled in really anyarea that he typically does. His shooting
would be one. He's been agood floor spacer next to Kawai and Paul
George, but it's not happening rightnow in this game. Marcus Morris has
two points in twenty one minutes ohthree from the outside and had two really

(31:15):
head scratching turnovers where he got lockedup in a trap on the far side
corner and then another time he traveled. And he has just he has looked
slow at times and so I gotthis for your post game and I appreciate
the phone call. Eddie ty Leewas asked about Marcus Morris possibly having tired
legs, and he said, quote, it could be. I got to

(31:36):
do a better job of keeping himinvolved, maybe getting him the ball in
the midpost. He's not shooting wellright now, but I thought he got
some deflections tonight. I don't thinkMarcus Morris is going anywhere. The solution
may just be for him to getout of this funk. I don't know.
Let's head out to Stefan and Highlandpar stefand you're on Clippers stop without

(32:02):
aim Assle. How you doing?Adam? First of all, just want
to say him a big fan theClips and Dips podcast. Keep up the
good work. When are we goingto start holding Paul George accountable for the
mindless turnovers he causes in almost everygame? I know there weren't a lot

(32:22):
tonight. But Man against the King, well, he had one where he
was looking for Terrence Man and theywere in close proximity in the fourth quarter.
Yeah. Now, the other whathappened was it didn't end up earning
that because on the other side thet Wolves gave it right back. There
was one there. But look,you don't need to tell him that.
I think he knows. I thinkwe know. This is who Paul George

(32:44):
is as a playmaker. He's gonnahave some turnovers like this. But you
got a ride or die with PaulGeorge and Kawhi Leonard. Those are your
guys. There's nothing more you canreally do about that. I just think
if this doesn't end up in thefinals appearance, I think we need to
trade Paul George. I think enoughis enough and experiment hasn't worked. I

(33:05):
know we'll get there when we getthere, But I just think Paul George
is just not helping his case tostay on this team. That's all I
have to say. All right,Sephan appreciate the phone call Romeo in La
Puenza Romeo Young Clippers stopped without Amoslin. Hello, what's going on? Hell?
Romeo? Are you doing? Whatdo you think the game tonight.

(33:25):
I think it was ridiculous. Iagree with one of the callers about Marcus
Morris. I'm tired of watching themplay. It's ridiculous, it's terrible,
and we needn't get Roco in there, simple as that. I'm tired of
seeing him not playing at all.Look, I've gotten calls like this all
season. I appreciate Romeo that.I don't think it's happening. I don't

(33:49):
know why it would all of asudden, why they would go away from
Marcus completely. Why are Robert Covingtonwould be injected back in the story line,
I mean just into the game.He's been getting dnps for I don't
know how long since the start ofthe season. We got to ask for
things that are realistic, too,But I get the frustration. I'm not

(34:14):
sure why Rocco has been out ofthe rotation for so long either. I'm
not sure why Marcus at times getsthirty minutes and somebody like Terrence Man gets
less. I don't know. Idon't I'm not a coach. I don't
have those answers. But clearly coachLou believes in him, He's comfortable with
him, he thinks he'll pull thistail spinning. Look, he's got a

(34:35):
career full of data that says he'sbetter than the player he's been recently,
but it has looked like and Iwas hoping the All Star break was in
a curate for him, he's hadtired legs. He just hasn't been able
to stay in front of guys.He hasn't had the same lift on his
shooting. Something's going on, Edgarand Inglewood, you're on Clippers style without

(34:59):
hm Awesome here, Hey, Adam, I just I don't think I've ever
seen a team year after year justtotally disrespect the process of a regular season.
And the reason I say that,there's a couple of reasons when it
comes to rotations. Okay, boneTiling clearly is not in the rotation.

(35:22):
Okay, he's gotten the DMP inevery game except for one, and that
was against his former team. Sotarbarone Lou. With eighteen games left in
the season, the Clippers are literallyfighting for their playoff lives. Throws them
a bone. Let's go ahead,you know, get your revenge game against
your you know, your former team, you know who cares you know about
trying to find a rotation that we'regonna head into with the playoffs. Okay,

(35:45):
that just shows you how unserious fromthis coaches and this franchise right now.
Okay, every single year is thesame thing. It's between the load
managing and I know they haven't donethat lately, thank god. You know,
every single year is the same thingbetween the load man they're playing around
with. Let me let me askyou this. Let me ask you this.

(36:05):
Do you not agree it's worked withthe way they brought Kawhi Letter along
to get him back to this pointwhere he is one hundred percent Kawhi Letter
once again? Okay, I meando you not find that remarkable that Kawhi
is back to peak form? Okay, yeah, he's he's an All Star,
he's one of the top five player, but he was coming off in
ACL and for him to get backthis soon, you have to say the

(36:30):
way that they did the recovery processworked. Okay, you know who it
worked for. You know who's likethe load managing thing worked for like early
two thousand Spurs because they were ableto just mess around in the regular season,
not take it. So you're notgoing to acknowledge that Kawhi Leonard is
playing at this high a level andthe load management management could have something to

(36:52):
do with it. You're just gonnablow past that point. No, no,
no, we won't blow past it. But what's the goal though?
Every year? Though? Well,what does the team? So the fans
every year at him? It's deepestroster in the league, championship favorite championship
contender. Have they done that?So you can't really say no, because
the playoffs haven't started yet, soyou can't say they failed. It's something

(37:13):
they haven't got an opportunity for yetthis season, so I know. But
they also still haven't shown the abilityto just flip a switch, which is
which by the way, they justdon't take the regular season seriously. And
this is just my opinion, youknow why, Eddie, How did you
feel in the twenty twenty one playoffsbefore Kawhi went down? Did you feel
like when they took Phoenix to six? Also, did you feel like,

(37:36):
hey, if they had Kawai,they would have won the whole thing?
Well? I don't do like thewhat ifs though, like we were doing
you're doing it already. What doyou mean you're doing it from a negative
side? Tell me that process didn'twork Kawhi ended up getting hurt. That's
what they lost. It's unfortunate.There's not much else you can do about

(37:59):
that other then bring him back andhope he's the same player. And that's
who he seems to be again.And I still think he can take things
up another another notch in the playoffs, because he always does. Eddie.
I appreciate the phone call. Let'sgo to Shay, who's outside the arena?
Show you there, Shay drops allright, Well, take you quick

(38:20):
time out. We'll come back.We'll get more to more of your phone
calls. Eight six, six nineeight seven two five seventy eight six six
ninety seven two five seventy. We'llsee how this season ends before we give
it a grade, before we judgeit completely. Things look die right now.
Sure. I'm old enough though toremember a time during the twenty twenty
one season where the Clippers weren't ableto win close games late. Everybody was

(38:45):
freaking out about their clutch time rating. And then by the time the playoffs
came around, they were great inthose moments when they needed to win,
when they needed to figure it out. Down two oho and back to back
series, they were able to winKawai was brilliant and I fully believe they're
at least getting to the finals ifhe doesn't go down. More clipper Stock

(39:05):
next year and amp by seventy lA Sports George and Lennard running. You're
listening to LA Clippers basketball up Clipputs it down plus the foul every game
all season long on their official homeon Clipper Stock. They lose one o
eight to one oh one to theminutes of the Timberwolves. They have lost
three straight. They are in thesixth spot. Half came out of being

(39:30):
on the plane in that seventh spotcurrently held by the Dallas Mavericks. Welcome
back in. I'm out of Maslandeight six six nine eight seven two five
seventy. We'll try to get inall your calls still to come. We'll
have Will Updike on from Clips andDip. All right, let's go Al
Yune in Lancaster. Al Yun,you're on clipper Stock without of Maslin.

(39:50):
What's up? Yeah? Him?So, thank you? That's your mark
calls. Yeah. I have ajust question, uh why eight the NBA
doesn't allowed to trade the coach togo I'm serious. We lose a lot

(40:10):
again to cause the coaching What specificallydid you see tonight listen to him no
more. I don't know, becausewe have a lot we deep. We
don't have to just be deep andnot you would deplaire we have well.

(40:30):
I appreciate the phone call. AliYun. Coach lew was asked about the
toughest challenge right now with this team, and he said, having too many
good players, which is a complimentto his roster, of course, but
it's not easy to find minutes foreveryone. It's damn near impossible to do.

(40:51):
And to build up chemistry and tofind the right lineups and the guys
who play best next to one another. It was always going to take some
time. Did I think they'd losethree straight in the manner they have now
coming out of the All Star break. Now, let's go to Marvin in
downtown Los Angeles. Marvin, what'sup? You're in Clipper stop for that?
I'm awesome, Hey, Adam,Yeah, what the Clippers need right

(41:14):
now? They're like in a hittingslump, but they needed to breakthrough games.
That's that's what they need because allthe games been closed. They're being
competitive because it's not either waves.They just correct the mistakes. Of the
turnovers and the communication. I mean, they'll be all right, and they
also need to pick up the pace. I know. I like Russell Westbrook
keeps contributing, passing the ball,hitting his teammates involved, but he needs

(41:36):
to be more aggressive. He needsto get into the pain, slash throw
the floaters. We don't need himto shoot threes or outside because that's what
we have Kauai, That's what wehave Pa George, Norman Powell and also
Gordon. But when he gets intothe pain and then he passes, it
becomes predictable. It's like a quarterbackpassing of all all the times without having

(41:58):
a running backs. So he needsto pay off Holly can score in the
pen. How he slash throw thefloaters, so therefore it doesn't become predictable,
and then it gives the liberty tothen cast the Barnes from the stock.
Thank you all right. I appreciatethe phone call. I thought Russ
had a great first half and atough second half and a tough stretch down
the end of the fourth quarter wherehe was being very aggressive. It's got

(42:21):
to be controlled. Though. Heknows that he's been very good so far
as a Clipper Overall for this team, he has helped them. But down
the stretch tonight a couple of turnoversand obviously that fade away over Mike Conley
Junior where the Clippers didn't get intoa set, didn't run their offense at
all. That was a little bitof an eyebrow raiser. All right,

(42:46):
let's go to Holly leaving the game. Holly, what's up here on Clipper
stock without amostin? Hey, Adam, I just wanted to say, yes,
I agree with you on PG andKwai being the ones we die on,
but I don't know how you candisagree with that they're brought in here,
Yeah, for that reason together.The other caller was saying PG has

(43:09):
to go. I disagree with that, okay, but I do think Westbrook
adds energy and I love it.But I also think he needs to change
the starting lineup. Put tea manin and uh have the second lineup with

(43:30):
Covington getting involved. I mean,you got he can play defense, he
can move the ball. I meanthe ball just seems the ball movement is
dead. They don't move the ballfast. Morris is just well. They
had four assists on their thirty fivemakes. They were moving the ball at

(43:51):
times. That was the only waythey were scoring in this one, through
extra passes, through making the rightplay. The problem was they were also
playing too much hot potato to thepoint they got out of control and had
a lot of turnovers. Well that, I mean, he assist the mad
shots. That's a good number.But I still think they need to get

(44:15):
Cummington in the game. He's abetter defensive player than I know. You
love Morris, and you know Morriswas good like two months ago, but
he's in a slump right now.I think I think the guys better playing
the best right now. Well,I think what you're gonna get Morris to

(44:37):
wake up by not starting him,putting him put him in the second lineup,
or not put him in the secondline line up. Let him get
his rest, let him get hislegs. Maybe that new baby is causing
him not to have good sleep thatnight. But the guy is not playing
the way he should, and itjust is so ear ritating to see him

(45:01):
not play defense. He's hesitant onshooting the ball. It's like, I
think I could go out there andshoot the ball better than him right now,
And that's pretty sad. Let's let'snot. You know, these guys
are professional. I get it,Holly. I'm not gonna go there.
Though he hasn't looked the same recently, but we expect him to snap out

(45:23):
of it. I appreciate the phonecall, Holly. Let's go to Lenny.
Lenny in Inglewood, Lenny, what'sup here on Clippers stock withou?
Him? Oustin? Lenny's gone?Morris in Long Beach, Morris, I
know you got some positivity, IAdam, you need to calm down.

(45:43):
Look at it. Everything that happenedto the Clippers. Happily everybody in the
NBA. Everybody got these kind ofgames. I like this, lady.
They calls about what Westbrook the wayto the game. You know, he
gives us some minuty apparently not forforty eight minutes, but they got a
different lip to him. They gota different lip to him. The guys
of top seventy five player. Ithink they're gonna figure it out. I
really do. But what surprises meabout the Clippers because they've been a defensive

(46:07):
team. When you say Clippers,what they known for defense? Right man?
They can score now, which whichis an issue for a lot of
team. But it don't seem likethey got that same that same lockdown kind
of spirit that used to have nothing. It's not even close, Morris,
It's not even close. For threemonths throughout most of the season, they

(46:28):
are a bottom ten defense. Thatis shocking, is it not? Then
the Clippers, their defense ain't thesame, Adam, I mean, I'm
not. I love the team,I love the excitement and far more entertainment.
But you know the name of thegame is, you know, can
you stop them guys? Everybody inthe league is superstar, right, everybody
super athlete. Can you stop theseguys? And the Clippers used to be
able to do that. I mean, anybody shutting down in beating, anybody

(46:51):
shouting down the joker. But asa team, they were a good defensive
team. But right what's what's mindboggling is they have the players, they
have the guys to play defense,but they're getting sliced and diced through right
now by teams and they can't getstop something. They had one stop,
but they caused the twenty four secondviolation of the fourth on Minnesota, and

(47:13):
I thought that was going to bea turning point for them. It wasn't.
Minnesota continued to get into the teethof the defense. Well, they
got to figure it out, becauselike everybody knows, they got they got
them. These the guys they'll figureit out. Well, then, I'm
not sure behind three everybody in anyNBA right now, when any team that
loses right now, it's the bigLaws. Any team that wins right now

(47:34):
is that they wins. So I'mnot ready to throw these guys under the
bus right now. And again,I like with Westbrook complinient to the team
Adams, so behave these else I'llsee you nexttent. All right, Morris,
Look, it's not any team Denveris going to be the one seed.
Next team closest to them is fiveand a half games back Memphis.
They're pretty secure in the two seat. It's possible Sacramento can catch them.
But there are teams who are cutabove right now, and the Clippers aren't

(47:57):
one of them. Rob in La, Robbie yourng Clipper, stop with him,
assen any thanks for taking my call. Okay, Robbie, what do
you got? I just want tounderstand. I thought Eric Gordon was our
you know, big get at thetrade deadline, and it doesn't seem like

(48:19):
he's getting enough minutes, particularly whenwe're so bad on deft. He is
team man needs to get into therotation a lot of them. Terrence Mann
played twenty two minutes, Eric Gordonjust seven in this one. So last
couple of games, Eric Gordon hasn'tplayed as much, although he played the
fourth quarter. You played critical minutesagainst the Nuggets the other night, and

(48:42):
I liked him out there because Ithink he's secured with the basketball. He
is a savvy vet, he's astabilizer. But yeah, I didn't get
a lot of run in this one. I think the big pickup is the
guy who's now in the starting lineup. I think you have to say it's
Russell Westbrook, right, I meanseems that way, but you would think
that before Rush showed up they hada plan for Wardens. Then you're just

(49:06):
not seeing it. I don't knowhow they're going to be able to figure
this out. I think they havethe right guy to do so in coach
lou But they haven't found the winsyet with the four guys they brought in,
or at least they haven't got awin since bringing in Russell Westbrook with
those other three guys at the tradedeadline, and it's just three losses in
a row. It's tough. Youslide right down the standings. I appreciate

(49:30):
the phone call Robbie coming up.We will have Will Updike on from Clips
and Dip. Take a quick timeout here eight six six nine eight seven
two seventy eight six six nine eightseven two five seventies. The Clippers are
reeling and have to get into desperationmode and have that fuel them the rest

(49:50):
of the way. You want agood tune up for the playoffs, how
about having to win games just toget in. That's pretty much the point
they're at now. You're listening toClipper stock. You're on AM five seventy
a sports hendy got it counted fromdistance. The odds on favorite to hoist
the Larry o'bride heavily contested in adozen't matter on the whole of your LA

(50:13):
Clippers. After twenty six sevens thefirst corner, Minnesota outscored the Clippers e
two to sixty eight. The restof the way and the Clippers defense non
existence. Now over the last sevengames, they're giving up fifty two percent
shooting and forty two percent from theoutside. In their last eight games.

(50:35):
Two opponents and the turnovers came aplenty. They had twenty five tonight.
They had twenty five against Sacramento.In between that just thirteen against Denver.
But before those three games, theywould turn the ball over just ten times,
and their last eleven. Before thelast three. It's confounding. Clippers
lose one o eight to one ohone. Here in downtown Los Angeles,
the Crypto dot Com Arena to theMinnesota Timberwolves. Welcome back into Clipper stock.

(51:00):
I'm outam Auslin. All right,we got Will Updike on Will,
where would you like to start?I like asking this question because I know
you might have a different perspective thanme, But where was this game lost
in your mind? Just like,just like the lack of intense to me
on the defensive end, combined withjust so many mental mistakes, which has

(51:22):
just been a thing we've seen repeatover and over again across these last three
games. I think just like themost emblematic one for me was that third
quarter turnover where Norm Powell didn't getthe foul call. He's at he's he's
arguing with the ref meanwhile, butTum's trying to kick it out to him
to the corner for an open three. Another turnover, just a terrible thing,

(51:45):
and that I mean that was justone of twenty five, as he
stated. But like it's just Idon't know where this team is at right
now. I gotta tell you,can you hear this? Got some ice
in there. I got a whiskeyport up thicker than Marcus Morris's hit band.
It's the Tuesday hurt up on aTuesday after a Clifford's loss, or
trying to turn down to fall asleeptonight, whatever it may be. I've

(52:08):
gotten a ton of calls on MarcusMorris, I've gotten a ton of tweets
my way, and I completely understandall of it. And he played twenty
one minutes and just has not lookedlike himself. And he was guilty of
a couple of really bad turnovers,but all three from the field, and
he had two good looks where theytried to get him going in the first
quarter wide open shots, couldn't knockthem down. What do you think happens

(52:31):
next with Marcus? I mean,he only took three field goal attempts in
this game, so I do feellike that is worth noting. But yeah,
I don't know, But his bestattribute is his offense. If he
doesn't have that going, it's Ijust don't know. Three shots, No,

(52:51):
I hear you. Look. Thething is is I'm just so confounded.
I thought this break would be worseon Red. I don't know what
we do. I mean, wehave like coming up with the season on
the line, and you know,the troubling thing is we're hearing from coach

(53:12):
Luit he's going to give him acouple of games to stuff out, not
market specifically, but rop Okay,I don't know if Will is pouring more
whiskey into his glass and that's whatthat noise is, or if I'm just
hearing it and hearing things, whichis nothing new for me. But okay,
our producer Katie says she's hearing thattoo. Will, can you still
hear us? Is there something youcould readjust there with your phone? Maybe

(53:36):
because I was getting a lot ofstatic in between knowledge you were trying to
drop Will. We're gonna try toreconnect with Will updike. Here we mentioned
Marcus Morris. I just the thingis, when a guy's getting older,
you start to wonder is it aslump or our skills starting to diminish?

(53:58):
Because it happens. Sometimes it happensquickly, and I hope that's not the
case with Marcus, and I stillbelieve in him. But he has been
struggling in ways I just have neverseen throughout his career. He may not
be healthy. I don't know.He's a tough guy. Maybe he's trying
to tough it out. Do wehave willing Updyke, I'm back, I'm

(54:20):
back. How about now continue asyou were saying about Marcus Man, I
just don't know something just how quicklike this decline has come. I mean,
quinted, he hasn't been where he'sbeen at in previous seasons all year
long. I'll definitely come to that. Hey, the first couple of months
we were like, that's right,guys, Eddie, Marcus haters out there,

(54:43):
he's making shots, he's shutting themup. He looked okay, Yeah,
yeah, he looked okay. AndI just feel like, I mean,
maybe it's just because it's been ona more amplified spotlight as the team
is losing, But he looks likethe decline, like the it's just so
severe. You look like you said, you just gotta wonder if he's playing
through something. But you know,even if that's the case and he's you

(55:07):
know, well enough to play,I just I just think there has to
be a shift in that minute's distribution. Whether he starts or not doesn't really
matter. But it seems like,you know, we talked about this before,
like maybe he just needs those shorterstretches where he can be a little
bit more effective without having to havethe stamina to play, you know,
twenty plus minutes. Let me askyou about the closing lineup in this one,

(55:30):
because I've gotten some calls on thistoo. It was Russ norm Pg
Kauai and it beats a Zoobos.Is that what you wanted to see out
there? I just think that thatpresents so many problems from a spacing perspective
for for Kawai and Paul George,and I feel like both of them were

(55:52):
a little bit flummixed. Kauai evenwith some uncharacteristic turnovers. No, that
like that, That's not what I'mlooking to see when you bring up the
space, is it? Because Okay, we got Russ out there with Zoo,
so we got two non shooters onthe court at once. Because what's

(56:13):
that those guys are both starting lineupnow? I know, I think that's
an issue too, But like thething is, is like the way to
make that the most aspective is touse Russ and in Zoo and like a
pick and roll, and like whatthen, what are you doing with Kawai
and Paul George. It's just it'sI just don't really I just don't really
see the fit. And once again, this was not a loss on Russ.

(56:36):
He had a couple of bad turnoversin really bad minutes. I don't
know that he's the guy that shouldbe closing games. Maybe they can find
a work like a lineup to figureit out. I just it just comes
back to the same thing. It'sthe same conversation when you're having in January,
Like it just seems like this team, anytime they make a little bit
of progress, they're taking two stepsback and we're now just at the exact

(56:59):
same spot. Like I you know, we it seemed like we had found
some lineups, some things that we'reworking, and you know, we've just
moved away from it. And Iknow that there's gonna be some growing pain
with new guys in the lineup,not just for us obviously, but it's
I don't know, man, thejust the chuck and I always give the
analogy of the runway, and therunway is so short right now. I

(57:21):
just don't know that this plane isreally going to be able to take off.
And I don't know if the Clippersare banking on maybe sticking to the
sixth seed and you still get thatthree six matchup, you still avoid,
you know, you still stay outof Denver's bracket. But they're keetering.
Yeah, I mean they're already thereright now, but I mean they are
keetering on ending the season in theplan, and I just don't know how

(57:43):
that could at all be sustainable forthis team with the combined age and just
what you have to go through ifyou end up in one of those spots.
We knew it wasn't going to beeasy to implement new guys, but
before the All Star break, theyplayed so well against Phoenix, and that
was a game without normal Pale andEric Gordon really stepped up and Terrence Mann

(58:04):
was so good in the starting lineup. It's just, you know, we
talk about identity, and we mentionedthis on the podcast the other day and
I said, it's alarming that theystill don't have one this late into the
season. Some of it you understandbecause they're implementing new guys, but that
identity has been a moving target forthem. I don't know what it is.
Because they started off the year asgood defensive team, and offense comes

(58:25):
and goes, but they hang theirhat on their defense. Their defense.
Now since January first, they're twentyseven. I don't know how it could
ever be that bad. I mean, I know Zoo has been out recently,
and I know he hadn't looked thesame as he did early in the
season. But they have enough talentout there. Just having Kawai and Paul
George on the court, which theyhave had more so in twenty twenty three,

(58:47):
you think would be enough to helpon that end and just not be
bottom ten, maybe just middle ofthe pack. I don't know what's going
on there. Yeah, and Imean, honestly, I just twenty sevens
ranked defense. I just this teamis not getting very far. Zoo was
solid at night, almost had adouble double best plus minus net rating on

(59:08):
the team, but yeah, heyou know, he's not at that peak
that we saw him hit earlier inthe seaft Clippers lose one o eight to
one oh one. Here in downtownLos Angeles to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Their
next game coming up on Thursday,and even bigger contests. Now we'll be
even more magnified after this loss.They're taking on the Golden State Warriors.

(59:30):
Will Updike is from Clips and Dippdoes the podcast with myself and Charles Mockler.
We got a tripod coming tomorrow.Talk to you then, Will,
thanks for doing this to night onClippers Stalk. He just he hung up
on me, like like he justwent back to the whiskey heart. I
can't believe I may have done thesame. Okay, before we get out
