Speaker 1 (00:01):
The game is done.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Wrap this one up.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Now the reaction begins. This is Clippers locker room, your
post game look at the LA Clippers on the LA
Clippers Audio Network. Now your pre and postgame host Adam Osland.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
And this will be known as the Vin Crazy game
against the Clippers as they lose one oh five to
one oh two here at home, add into a dome
to the Atlanta Hawks and they have lost five straight
ball games. Welcome into your postgame show. I'm Ata Moslin
coming up. I'm gonna get your post game box score.
We'll take your phone calls on the five to seven
LA Sports if you want to get on early eight

(00:40):
six six nine, eight seven two five seventy eight six
six ninety seven two five seventy Carlo. Another game where
the offense struggled mightily. No Kawhi Leonard. It was the
James Harden Show. He did what he could, hoisted a
thirty five footer to tie the game with about ten
seconds left, wasn't able to get it. We talked about

(01:00):
it a little bit off the air, but that could
have been a situation. I know a lot of people
felt like he rushed that shot, but Atlanta could have
intentionally foul there that may have prompted him to take
that three pointer while he thought he had an opening.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Yeah, it just felt like he doesn't put up that
shot unless he feels like someone's coming to fallum. This
is a guy who's hadn't been in too many of
these situations down late in games, who's been in too
many big games in his seventeen years in the NBA
to just huck that shot because he's on a heater, right,
I mean, he understands the moment, also wants to get

(01:34):
one up quick because you want to give your chance
for an offensive rebound.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
And just feel like it look it was in and out.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yeah, like it looked like it was online.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
To be honest, Yeah, you might not agree with this shot,
but like he almost made it and v Creachy banked
in a three that he shot from his chest by
the way, like this didn't hit the rim and then
banking like he banked it.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
In credit to him. He went eight of ten from
the outside and had twenty eight points, a new career high,
just unconscious from beyond the arc.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
He was really impressive and the reason they won this game.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
I mean, Atlanta's came into this game thinking they're gonna
get seven and a half from Crazie his average, and
he had a season nine seventeen last game, and he
gives you a career high twenty eight his previous career.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
I was twenty.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
So impressive night from him. I think from the Clippers
aut of you hit it right on the head.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
One.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
They just didn't have enough offense. I think you could
point to the miss freakros in this game. He missed
seven and he gave me lose by three. That definitely hurts.
But I think credit ty Lou. I thought Kobe Brown
and Cam Christy gave them great minutes.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, that second quarter from those two was special child
from growth they needed. That problem is their second stint
in the second half didn't go as well, and basically
when James Harden wasn't on the floor, they didn't have
much of a plan offensively.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
No, it was kind of like, get Chris Donne the
ball in a pick and roll, maybe he can find
of each Zoo bots underneath. John Collins, who had been
excellently coming in, struggled for the first time maybe all season,
at them three of eleven from the field, one of
six from three in his first start as a Clipper, Yeah,
seven or rebounds and the Clippers didn't get enough. Derekjorren

(03:19):
Senior had those ten points in the first quarter, won
the rest of the way. Zoo only took ten shots,
but it felt like he had the ball more. It's
just one for the Clippers. Where does this spark? Chris
Paul coming back into the lineup to run an offense?
I mean he's run every offense his life.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
Do you.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Play somebody like Bogie down the stretch? I mean, I
think there's more answers, and it starts on offense. Now
you have to understand what you're giving up offense for defense.
Right there's that balance, which is why those questions are
really hard. And it feels like, oh, the answer is
offense when you can't score, But then how many does
Atlanta score if you make that trade off?

Speaker 4 (03:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's one of the issues, the glaring ones right now.
When you see an offensive performance like this and everything
just on the table of James Harden. He went twelve
to twenty three at thirty five points, played heroically in
his thirty nine minutes, eleven assists to six turnovers. But
if it wasn't him initiating offense. Nobody else could set
the table. Nobody else was a floor general out there.

(04:21):
And the idea coming into this season is, hey, when
James Harden's off the floor, you got Chris Paul now
running the show. You're in great shape. And that just
hasn't materialized so far. I believe back to back dnps
for Chris Paul as he looked fairly ineffective through his
first handful of games. But I expect Coach flu to
go back to him at some point. Will it be
on Wednesday? Same with Bogie, he's been out the last

(04:43):
couple of games. Do you have to try one of
these two guys here? Just because you're not getting enough
initiation of the offense and playmaking at the guard position
without them? And you may have to live with some
of the weaknesses because you just have to get into
your offense.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, and with the way the league's going at them,
I mean, offense is up this year historically across the NBA,
and a large part of that is teams are playing
with more pace, They're playing faster, they want to get
up and down the floor, and that leads to easier looks.
And for the Clippers in this one. They give up
twenty fast break points to Atlanta. I mean, once again

(05:21):
burned in transition. We'll see how they try to make
that adjustment. I think the Christy and Brown lineups have
been somewhat of an adjustment, right, You kind of get
two new guys in.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
But it's been tough for the Clippers. We'll see, We'll
see how they figured this one out.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
You mentioned those twenty points fast breakpoints from Atlanta. The
Clippers had twelve turnovers leading to twenty points. You think
every turnover was a live ball turnover leading to fast
break points.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
We can check the shot shart right, I felt like
it on this box score. But Atlanta took twelve shots
in the fast break, so.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Eight for twelve.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah, I don't that would seem to match.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
They were effective when the Clippers turned the basketball over,
getting twenty points on twelve turnovers. You know, when it rains,
it poorts. With this Clippers team right now, you play
well defensively, Crachie burns you, everybody else is pretty much
held in check, and then you have visits the season
low twelve turnovers and you still give up twenty points.
Last game was a season low. But if it's not

(06:23):
one thing or it's another right now for this Clippers
ball club as they drop five straight and lose one
five to one. Two hear it into a dome to
the Atlanta Hawks. Clippers got a day off and then
one more home game before they head out on the
road for seven. But it is the Denver Nuggets, the
vaunted Denver Nugget who are playing good basketball, and of

(06:44):
course the Clippers have a lot of experience against. Tip
off for that ball game, I believe it's a seven
thirty start. Yes, well of your pregame show starting at
six thirty, Carlo Jimenez, great call, as always, we will
talk to you on Wednesday, my friend.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Through Wednesday, Adams. Sometimes you need your rivals to wake
you up.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, familiar foe.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
See if the Clippers can use that experience against Denver
to maybe jump start a run. Remember, folks, Clippers did
start three and seven and win fifty one games.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
It's not over.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Just happened two years ago. Clippers lose by three tonight
here to the Atlanta Hawks coming up next. More postgame
in your postgame locker room show here on Los Angeles
Clippers Audio Network.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Let's get back at it. This is LA Clippers basketball
right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Clippers lose one O five to one O two to
the Atlanta Hawks. Here it into it, Tom, They've lost
five straight times. Are hard Clipper Nation. We'll get through
it together, as we always do. Clippers shot forty four
percent from the field, just twelve of thirty eight from
the outside. That's thirty two percent. Atlanta Hawks worth forty

(08:05):
five percent from the floor thirteen to thirty four. That's
thirty eight percent from the outside. Why beat Crachie went
eight of ten from distance. They got five may threes
outside of that.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
On Let's see.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Is that twenty five attempts like everybody else? Missing everything?
Beat crazy tonight for the Atlanta Hawks. Tip of the
cap went off radio active and the Clippers ad twelve turnovers,
leading to twenty points for the Hawks in this one,
and while the Clippers were out rebounding them early on,

(08:47):
it ended up almost even Clippers forty two, Hawks forty one.
Clippers did have eleven offensive rebounds to seven for Atlanta,
but the Hawks got up a couple more shots as
the Clippers got five more free throws but miss seven.
This is the third straight game they have missed seven
free throws. You can't have that happen when you're trying

(09:08):
to turn the tide. A Vita zubats one to four
at the charity stripe. He ended up with thirteen and twelve,
only got ten shots up six of ten. James Harden
did all he could, had thirty five twelve of twenty
three from the field, six to fourteen from the outside.
Had nineteen of his thirty five points on the fourth quarter,

(09:29):
but needed three more to tie the game, and took
a thirty five footer with ten seconds left. I think
he was anticipating the Hawks intentionally fouling him with them
being up by three, and that's why he rusted the shot.
It went in and out. He had a look, he
was hot, couldn't gets to goo. Chris Dunn finished five

(09:50):
of ten eleven points, Dereck Jones Junior with eleven with
the starters off the bench, Brook Lopez with nine, Kobe
Brown with nine, Clippers lose one o five to one
oh two to Atlanta, and again they lose a game
where they're up by seventeen, and again you can say
they lost this game late in the second quarter. Back
to back games, same way similar way. We'll talk more

(10:15):
about that coming up. I'm at a Moslim This is
your postgame locker room show here on the Los Angeles
Clippers Audio Network.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
We're back to more LA Clippers basketball.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Take us with you on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Clippers led by as many as seventeen in the ballgame,
just to lose by three as v Crachy comes off
the bench for the Atlanta Hawks and goes eight of
ten from three, has twenty eight points, and the Clippers
end up losing one oh five to one oh two.
Here at into Its home to the Hawks. They have
lost five straight. They are in a deep funk at

(11:00):
the moment. They got thirty five from James Harden. They
battled in the fourth but not good enough, and now
they have Denver coming in on Wednesday, seven thirty. Tip
for that one. Here at Into a Dome, we'll have
your pregame show starting at six thirty outside of Los Angeles.
Do not go anywhere. We got Clippers stock coming up
next eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy

(11:22):
eight sixty six ninety eight seven two five seventy is
the phone number. I'm Adam Oslin outside of LA talked
to you on Wednesday in LA's Clippers Stock.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Next, Welcome in the Clippers Talk, the official postgame show
of the Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clad
up the phones and make your feelings. No now your
host for Clippers Talk, It's Adam Osland.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
James Harden gave it a heave late to try to
tie the game with a thirty five flitter with ten
seconds left. Wouldn't go THISU He had nineteen of his
thirty five in the fourth quarter. But the Clippers drop
They're fifth straight game. They lose one oh five to
one oh two. Here it into its home to the
Atlanta Hawks and they are three and seven on the season.

(12:13):
Welcome into Clippers Talk. I'm out of Maslin with you
for another forty minutes. Here we'll take your phone calls.
Eight sixty six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight
six six nine eighty seven two five seventy is the
phone number in a game where the Clippers were in
complete control. I mean it. You may not believe it
right now, but they were. But another second quarter where

(12:39):
things got away from them quickly. And I'm not saying
there's an obvious rhyme or reason for it. But when
you start off the game in a first quarter like that,
playing that well, you're twenty nine, you're up twenty nine
to nineteen, and Atlanta starts one of eight from the outside,

(12:59):
you're two of nine. But Derreck Jones Junior had a
quick eight points, John Collins had two of Eats Zubat's six,
Chris Done to James Harden five, Brook Lopez four points.
Yet seven guys scored in the first quarter, but their
defense was just lights out. Some of that law of averages.
Atlanta was missing some three pointers. But vit Crachee had

(13:25):
a career night, and it started in that second quarter.
After the Clippers led thirty six to nineteen, they were
up seventeen at the eight thirty five mark of the
second quarter. First it was Keaton Wallace hitting a three pointer.

(13:47):
That's all right, Kobe Brown got a bucket, had a
nice ballgame. He and Cam Christie get the Clippers up
by seventeen. That second unit with those two, but toom
Chris Dunn, Brook Lopez, they extended that ten point lead.

(14:16):
Give him some really good minutes out there. Felt like
the Clippers had found something again. You're up thirty six
to nineteen. But the hot shooting got started in a hurry.
When after the Clippers led by fifteen, still at thirty

(14:36):
nine to twenty four, was seven minutes left in the
second quarter, Vic Crachie went off three pointer, twelve point game,
three pointer, nine point game, three pointer, six point game.
In one minute and one second, you went from up
fifteen to up six, and Crachie had a career night,

(15:02):
most points he's ever scored in the game, I'm sure
most three pointers, going eight of ten. Clippers got themselves
in a dogfight right after that. Atlanta wasn't going away
in a minute. In one second, the game can change.
Just like that, Gracy would hit another one to put

(15:23):
him up forty two to forty one. It was back
and forth. It was a tie game at the end
of the first half, tied it fifty two, and it
felt like a blown opportunity by the Clippers to blow
out Atlanta. And it was one guy that killed him
and some poor rotation. Sure also just unbelievably hot shooting.

(15:46):
He was five of seven with seventeen points in the
first half. His career high was twenty. He almost had
that in the first half due to a fourteen point
second quarter. The Clippers offense, though the second half of
the second quarter looked nasty and all of a sudden
they got down the mud. Atlanta was switching more and

(16:08):
the Clippers weren't creating any easy shots.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
It was.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
If James Harden gets two feet in the paint, they
got a chance outside that They're swinging the ball around
and there's some really poor possessions, So I was concerned.
At the half. Third quarter comes around, Clippers lose it
by three. Crachie only hit one three pointer in the third.

(16:40):
He'd hit two more in the fourth quarter, one that
he banked in near the end of this ball game
as we were going back and forth, and it was
James Harden heroics with nineteen of us thirty five points
in the fourth quarter, but you could tell he was gassed.
The Clippers got down eighty nine to by ten in

(17:01):
the fourth. They had to put a Vista Zubats back
in with Harden at the ten to ten mark, and
he was really the only one that could create offense.
It was hard to watch. It was James Harden doing everything,
or the Clippers couldn't get buckets with his downhill pressure

(17:26):
or three pointers, and it really showed a weakness of
this team, which is not enough playmaking. And the idea
coming into this season was, Hey, no worries James Harden.
He's on the bench. We got CP three played eighty
two games last year, looked good for San Antonio. Hasn't

(17:49):
looked good in a handful of games for the Clippers,
and he's gotten a DNP the last two games now.
Bogie hasn't played the last two games. Cam Christy, Hey,
everybody wants to say play the young guys. Why won't
coach who play the young guys? He's playing them, Cam
Christy and Kobe Brown. Christy had eighteen minutes, one of
seven missed. Some ploaterers did hit one three pointer, first

(18:13):
three points. Kobe Brown had nine, he was three or three.
Also got cooked on defense multiple times by Wallace. So
what's it going to be? Play the young guys. Go
back to CP three and Bogie and hope they got
more left when it comes to on ball creation because

(18:37):
Harden was having to do way too much. Everything was
James Harden in the fourth quarter. He had nineteen of
their twenty six points in the fourth and nobody else
is getting by their man, creating advantages. Done had a layup.

(19:00):
I thought he had played a nice game for him
offensively eleven points, but a Creachy three pointer after Harden
had tied it in ninety two. Oh and there was
a time out. I thought the Clippers were gonna pull
this game out. But Harden had a lob to Collins

(19:22):
on a misque on a turnover that felt like they
need to play together more crazy hits that three pointer.
I don't know. He was left open far too many times.
Harden got a layup going left. Daniels gets a lay
up on the other end. DJ had a good look
at the basket as Harden found him on the interior,
but was indecisive. Saw Vitza Zubats went out of bounds

(19:46):
on Atlanta after Vita Zubots forced won on a triple team.
So the Clippers were down by three late and Harden
had a really bad turnover after getting a stop where
he got turned trying to get the ball into the

(20:07):
front court. You could see there was fatigue. He throws
the ball up for grabs, Atlanta takes it away and
John Collins intentionally fouls Resa che a take foul transition foul,
so they get one end the ball Chris Das. Porzingis
hits the free throw. Daniels gets a bucket. Now you're

(20:29):
down one hundred and ninety four six points with two
oh one left. The Clippers use their last time out
and they get a great play out of it. They
run that little lob mortar fire pass out of the
inbounds to Zoo on the right block. Got a bucket
over Porzingis, but then Dune has to foul for Gazingis

(20:51):
on the other end when they kept getting the switch
with him on smaller guys. So they're backup by six.
Done missed an open three. On the other end, Porzingis
misses a three, hardened fouled by Daniels, fall into the floor.
The Hawks challenge it Porzingis got him. Wasn't Daniels who
fouled him, it was Porzingis on a trip, Harden hits both.

(21:11):
You're down by four. John calls a huge block help
side block on Porzingis. Ball goes out of bounds back
to Atlanta and Crazy banks in that three pointer to
put him up seven. You think it's over, but Harden
hits a three ball and gets fouled converts the four
point play. Now it gets interesting. You're down to one

(21:38):
oh five to one oh two after the four point
play by Harden, and Atlanta gets their play blown up
by DJ who takes it away from Johnson and Harden
with eleven seconds left on the clock, takes a thirty
five footer almost a half court. Heave a logo shot.

(21:59):
He was hot, just just hit a bunch nineteen points
on the fourth, was doing everything and a lot of
people are like, well, how do you take that shot?
Take your time? Well, I think, and maybe we'll get
a quote from a postgame. He thought Atlanta was going
to intentionally foul because they were up three. We'll see

(22:21):
postgame if that's the case, it makes sense. The Clippers
still were able to foul. On the other end, got
some good luck on their side. It was recent Shay
at the free throw line who missed both. But the

(22:42):
Clippers don't have a time out with eight seconds left
and they turn it over as they found but tomb
on the right wing. Crachy gets involved there too. Thought
the ball might have gone out on Atlanta. It didn't.
They had it in the right corner. Clock runs out.
Clippers lose by three, one oh five to one o two.

(23:02):
They've lost five straight. Exciting basketball game down the stretch,
but nobody cares in Clipper Nation. They're three and seven.
Most people's predictions over the first ten games was they'd
be seven and three. It's the opposite. We got the

(23:23):
numbers right, just out of order here, unbelievable. Clippers got
the Denver Nuggets coming in on Wednesday. Always feels like that.
It's like a hitter in a slump at the plate
at an important time, the game finds him. In baseball,

(23:43):
that guy that's in a slump always finds himself in
a big spot. Clippers in a big spot against a
familiar foe in Denver on Wednesday. We'll take your phone
calls coming back. Clippers lose one oh five to one
oh two to the Atlanta Hawks. Here it into it.
I'm at amuzzled and this is Clippers stock here on
a five seventy LA Sports.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
Let's get back at it. This is La Clippers basketball
right here on the LA Clippers Audio network.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Clippers lose one o five to one oh two. Hear
it into a dome to the Atlanta Hawks. They've lost
five straight in They're three and seven on the season.
Is this rock bottom or is it coming on Wednesday?
Because the Denver Nuggets team, they know very well the
team that is thriving right now, and I would love to
put it on the Clippers. I'm sure we'll be hearing

(24:40):
into a dome seven thirty tip pregame at six point thirty. Well,
the news coming in with John Collins was in the
starting lineup, something I was asking for earlier today on
Clippers Talk and something we've been asking for and it happened.
But it's at the sake of Bradley Beale being out
for who knows how long with a hip injury. Now,

(25:00):
Coach Lou did say he's rolling with John Collins for
a while. He was only three of eleven with nine
points seven boards. Didn't play great, maybe pressing a little
bit against his former team, one of six from the outside,
maybe his worst game so far. Even though he got
the start, even though he got thirty one minutes for once,
it was not the cure all. As I said multiple times,

(25:22):
starting John Collins was never the cure. All was never
the full elixer for this team. They got too many
problems going on. But your defense was good enough except
for on one guy Bit Crachy, who had twenty eight
on eight of ten shooting from three, a career high.
The offense, though, was hard to watch. James Harden had

(25:43):
to do everything. It's not sustainable. CP three or Bogie.
One of those two guys is gonna have to give
him something. I like Cam Christy, But as I told
you before, if you're relying on a twenty year old
to save this team this season, I don't know how
that's gonna go. He was one of seven, missed a
lot of good looks, easy ones. We'll see where coach

(26:05):
lou goes next. Let's get to a phone call here, Uh,
Tommy from Huntington Beach. Tommy, you're on Clipperstoff for that
a miles and what's up?

Speaker 6 (26:14):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (26:14):
What's going on at him? Pretty bad? I got three
main but you know, brief points about tonight.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
You called in last game with your dad, tom Right.

Speaker 5 (26:24):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 7 (26:25):
I remember he's still here, Cook, he's still here.

Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Tommy and Tom heck of a duo. But proceed, you
got three points. Just give me, you know, forty five
seconds here, Tommy, because I got a few calls.

Speaker 5 (26:37):
No, I got you This game just feels similar to
our other losses when we're just down five or tied
and just can't take the lead. We had many chances too,
It's just the same thing. It feels like to me. Second,
we're not going to win any games and Harden's the
only person scoring over twenty and no one else is
bringing energy. We knew Kawhi was going to be hurt
at some point, so there had to be someone else.
Zubos has been disappointing, Bradley Beal has been a shit himself.

(27:01):
Bogey and Chris Bob and unplayable. Our drafting has been bad,
so it sucks we traded Norman Powell. I you know,
I think everybody I under reestimmated that.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Here's here's what I don't like about that. Everybody's talking
about Norman Palell now. And it's like, I'm old enough
to remember how people felt about him after the playoff
series against Denver, and I'm old enough to remember when
they got John Collins for him, and now everybody's saying, oh,
look at Palell. It's like, you guys, you got to
have some self awareness. Like I love normOn Pale too,
but we all love the move we all did. Yeah,

(27:32):
things haven't worked out so far. I get it.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
Continue tell yeah, yeah, I just think we you're you're
right though, we all we all liked it. And then lastly,
we're just undisciplined and you know, uh sort of someone
We talked about Tyleruss fishing for answers, playing Kobe Brown
and Cam Christy this early. I'm not sure if I
like that either. I like what you said, and that
just that means that he's sort of losing faith and

(27:57):
that doesn't say good things about our team. So I
don't I don't know what to think.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Now.

Speaker 5 (28:01):
We could be three eight after Denver.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
You know what I hear all the time, they'll Tommy,
why isn't he playing the young guys? Now he plays
the young guys. They get mad at him for that.
It's like, person, this is not the head coach, this
is not a player. This is a collective failure so
far to start off this season. Is that fair to say?

Speaker 5 (28:20):
Absolutely? Yeah, you're you're totally fair, And even my dad agrees.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
All right, big Tom, Tommy and Tom. I'll talk to
you guys next time. All right, I appreciate you. Let's
go to Josh in San diego, Josh, what's up here?
On Clipper soft for that? In mill So Josh left,
Mike in La, He's always there, Mike, what's up?

Speaker 8 (28:42):
Oh? So is it time to panic yet?

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Sure, it's time to panic if you're trying to be
a top four seed in the Western Conference, which we
all thought that this team was capable of.

Speaker 8 (28:58):
I mean, I guess, of all the losses that feel
really weird to say, this is one of the more
encouraging ones.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Encouraging losses, Mikela, Like, I get what you're saying. There
were some glimpses of the real Clippers the last two games,
stretches where they played defense or executed well on offense,
or stars stepped up. But they can't put it together
for forty eight minutes. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (29:21):
No, I think someone needs to tell about that the
game is forty eight minutes. They don't seem to know that,
which is weird for guys who'll play in the NBA
for that long. But yeah, I mean, you know, there's
not going to be any you know, magic fix. There's
not going to be any you know, phenomenal trade that
you know comes in. This group just needs to dig
down deep and just you know somehow are putting it together.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
That's all. That's all I got to say.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
They gotta dig deep, but also climb out of the
hole that they dug deep for themselves. Mike, I appreciate
the phone call and you always being consistent here on
Clippers Talk. We'll take a quick time out. We'll get
back to more of your phone calls. Eight six to
six Now I need seven two five to seventy eight
six six nine seven two five seventy TYLU postgame, on
his message to concern fans after the three and seven start,

(30:10):
said quote, just stay with it. We all hit tough times.
It's not about how you start, it's how you finish.
There were three and seven two years ago in one
fifty one games. Does that mean it's happening this season? No,
of course not. It's worth mentioning, but it's also worth mentioning.
They went on a twenty six and five run at

(30:32):
one point that season. The greatest regular season stretch in
Clippers history is a twenty six and five run. Walking
through this door for the Clippers right now, hard to
say that. More Clippers stock next here on a five
seventy LA Sports, we're back.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
To more La Clippers basketball.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Take us with you on the iHeartRadio.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
App right here on the LA Clippers Audio network.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Clippers lose one o five to one oh two to
the Atlanta Hawks. They've lost five straight and are three
and seven on the season. I met a mosln welcome
back in Clippers led by seventeen with nine minutes left
in the second quarter, but had a complete collapse as
Meat Crachie lit them up with three straight three pointers
and we go on hit eight of ten three pointers,

(31:20):
including banking one in for Atlanta as he got to
a career high twenty eight points. The Craachy game against
the Clippers, remember the Sean Kilpatrick game Clippers in Brooklyn.
This is like twenty nineteen or twenty eighteen. I do
sometimes guys come out of nowhere and burn your team,

(31:42):
and you feel like this only happens to us. No disrespect.
Crazy's young player who knows where his career goes Beats
the Zubas postgame on the second quarter collapse said quote,
it was on us the second quarter. It was just
we didn't get back in transition. We gave up good looks,
turn the ball over, missed the easy ones. Let's see

(32:04):
how many transition points. Did they give up in that
second quarter? Yeah, they gave up eight transition points. I
only had two turnovers, but they give up eight points
in transition. Good enough of Viatas Zubats on how the
Clippers can improve, quote, We've got to score more. We've
got to rebound the ball. We've got to get back

(32:24):
in transition. We've been saying it year after year. Vizza
Zubats also said we could have won all these we
just keep doing the same mistakes every game. It's not
like that'll magically change with Kawhi and Bradback said, the
Clippers keep messing up the little things and that needs
to improve. First, agree Jamel and Pasadena. Jamil Jamel correct me,

(32:50):
but welcome in to.

Speaker 9 (32:51):
Clippershophiy doing sorry doing this?

Speaker 2 (32:55):
How are you?

Speaker 9 (32:58):
I'm I'm I'm all, but being a lifelong Clipper fan
and the old basketball player, I kind of I gotta
use my anger management skills right now. He count to
one hundred, like this is it?

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Jamil or Jamel Jamal Jamel Jamel says, we alive. We're
at least alive. That's how we're doing right now. We're here.
We don't like what we're seeing, and he also expressed
that might need some anger management right now with Jack

(33:30):
Nichol Hilson and Adam Sandler. What do you want to say.

Speaker 10 (33:38):
You do a great job, Adam, and you're very transparent
with your with your analysis, and I appreciate that you
chuck you know, will I watch y'all guys. You know
I'm a real Clipper fan. I've been here since Derek Anderson,
you know what I'm saying, So it's been a while.
But your insights are will or well or proposal appreciated
on my end because I feel like if the team

(33:59):
doesn't buy in to whatever Tyron LUs trying to get
them to buy into, we're never gonna get past where
we're at. You know, no matter why, come back does
no matter about They'll come back, no matter if Blake
Griffin come back is free come back.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
It don't matter what specifically do they need to buy into.

Speaker 10 (34:17):
Jamil, I know the defensive uh philosophy that he's selling
to the team is the best, is one of the
best things I've seen from the team last year. Where
the transition of defense is there, guys stopped, the point
of the point of attack is is on point where
we're not just swing door, let the guy go past us,
and then okay, hope the back line can save us.

(34:38):
And then on a fast break James Harder, shoot the
three you the last you, the last guy on the
defensive semity on the defensive side.

Speaker 8 (34:43):
To get back.

Speaker 10 (34:44):
It's like this black pedal. Get back and make a
stop contest. Have it to where you alter the shot
to where they don't just get runways to the to
the layup via Vubishick was making more jumpers than v
you know, than anybody I've seen before.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
It.

Speaker 10 (34:58):
I'm like, geez, man, it through.

Speaker 7 (35:00):
He can be but he can.

Speaker 10 (35:01):
Take a bread, take a dribble, he could go behind
his back, he can throw the ball off the backboard.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Jameel am I filtering this down right, is your point
that this is more on the players right now.

Speaker 10 (35:13):
Of course, it's never on the coaches. You know, I
played I play sports too. I know you did too.
Like it's on the coach gives you the colody and
the game plan. It's just to us to implement it
and and and and apply it. It's like it's like,
you know, it's like knowledge. You know, you apply that
information you have. So if they don't buy into it
and apply it, then it's not gonna work.

Speaker 7 (35:32):
You know.

Speaker 10 (35:32):
He's talking about matching up guys, calling out matchups, guys
getting down on defensive and glowing down.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
And Jamel, they gave up one hundred and five points tonight.
You give up one hundred and five points. You should
win that ball game in today's NBA. And I appreciate
the phone call, and I hope you call back on
Wednesday as well, because I like your inside. I do
put a lot of this on the players. They've tried
different lineups, they've tried different players. Guys aren't execute. Some

(36:01):
guys just look really old. We'll take a quick time out,
we'll come back. We'll close that things out with your
phone calls. Clippers lose one O five to one O two.
They've lost five straight. They look their age. And that
goes even when they play young guys. Because you've played
young guys. You gotta live with those mistakes. And camp
Christie was one of seven. If Bogey or CP three plays,

(36:24):
do they have better chance. I don't know, because everybody
kept crying coach, we won't play the young guys. Now
he does, he can't win. I guess with you, guys.
Sometimes I'm at Amazland and you're listening to A five
seven LA Sports.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Let's get back at it. This is LA Clippers basketball
right here on the LA Clippers Audio Network.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Clippers lose to Atlanta one O five to one O two.
The bench wasn't nearly good enough. Coach flu tried playing
the young guys. He's different guys. It's not working. Unfortunately.
You look at the starters, they're all at least even
or pluses of the plus minus category. But the bench
guys Brook Lopez minus four, Camp Christy minus twelve, Niko Batoum,

(37:14):
we've been to minus four, Kobe Brown minus twelve. You
want to play the young guys growing paints. That's that's
what happens. I don't know where Coach Leu goes next.
As you go back to CB three and Bogey, they
really struggled before James Harden at nineteen of his thirty
five points in the fourth quarter wasn't enough, as Crachie

(37:36):
has a career nine on eight to ten shooting from
three to get to twenty eight points for the Atlanta Hawks.
Clippers have lost five straight. They're three and seven. The
season is evaporating quickly, still seventy two games left, James
Harden said postgame, quote, our attention to detail has got
to be a little better. The difference between really good

(37:57):
teams and teams that aren't. Our attention to detail. James
Harden and why the Clippers have had great practices but
bad results. Quote, that's a good question. We haven't had
any consistency. Once we have some consistency that will help
us out a little bit. Consistency they're looking for it,

(38:17):
like forty eight minutes of good ball at least on
one end of the court. Amir in San Diego, you're
a Clippers sock without a maz on him here.

Speaker 6 (38:27):
How you doing, Adam, I'm sitting here on the couch
looking like CP three at the end of the bench, frustrated, dejected.
I mean, I'm not liking the look on CP over there,
and I'm concerned more about this the Hall of Famer

(38:49):
to be it at State, sitting there thinking what's going on,
and I am kind of hoping. I was hoping to
see a little bit of the minutes between Harden and
him kind of split a little bit.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
Well, did you see Chris Paul in the first handful
of games. Did you see how he looked out there? Yeah,
it's the reason he hasn't played the last couple of games.
Do I think they're gonna have to try to go
back to him at some point, of course, Amir, But
I uh, there's a reason he was playing really poorly

(39:25):
and couldn't get the ball into the front court. The
speed of the game looked like it was too much
for him.

Speaker 6 (39:34):
It's hard to watch at him, you know, seeing him
all these years, and you know, I'm an old school guy.
It's hard to it's hard to kind of realize that
I'm with.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
You a mere but your basketball mortality passing right in
front of you. Appreciate the phone call. Coach Lou was
asked about if the slower tempo in the half court
offensively during the second half was something Atlanta did to
them or they did to themselves because there was some
nasty offense by the Clippers. He said, quote what we did.

(40:05):
When asked what he wants to see change, Lew said
he wants to see them do it. Like the first quarter.
They were moving the basketball better at first. There was
a lot of ball pounding. Some of that was from
James Harden, most of it, you could say. He also
just nobody else is getting two on the ball and

(40:27):
creating advantages like the one three John collins made. It
was James Harden going downhill, getting John collins Man to
come over and help finding him wide open in the corner.
Like it's too much at the age of thirty six.
It's not sustainable, and it's not it's not gonna get
you a win against Atlanta right now. Apparently Alan leaving

(40:50):
the game, he was in the swell Allan, what's up
here on Clipperstock?

Speaker 7 (40:54):
I Adam, you know, I haven't had a chance to look,
but a couple of things. The free throw percentage steamed
like maybe the whole game was right there. We dismissed too.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
They first missed seven free throws. It's the third straight
game they have missed seven free throws as a team. Like,
when your margin of error is this small, you better
do the little things right, you better take care of
the freebies. And they're not even doing that. But I
guess that's on coaching, right, that's on Tylu, that's on
the coaching, Like, ah, man, they're not practicing their free

(41:25):
throws enough.

Speaker 7 (41:27):
I thought it's funny, almost we needed a few more
preseason games. That short preseason I don't think helped us.
But I think that Bogey, you know, CP three, looked
worse as in his time, But it felt like the
last time we saw Bogie he was getting a little better,
and I'd like to see him more.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Maybe I think one of them is going to have
to play. I appreciate the phone call Alan. Bogie maybe
was looking like you know Bogie before the funk he
went into against Denver in that series, you had a
little bit more punched to him. Dustin and Phoenix to
close things out here on Clipperstock, what's up Dustin Adam?

Speaker 11 (42:08):
Tough night, tonight, tough starts this season. Obviously, I'm hoping
that this turns around. I'm hoping it's a chemistry thing.
I mean, I much has been said about the record
the past few years and the turnaround they've been able
to make. But one thing that's very concerning is a
consistency right now with lineups. It seems like like like

(42:30):
like we don't know really what to do at this point.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
Well, how do you get lineup consistency when guys aren't performing.
It's like guys aren't performing and people get mad. Why
why is that guy still playing? It's like, okay, coach,
who is trying different guys? Now, well, why isn't he
trying more consistent lineups? Which is it?

Speaker 7 (42:47):
No?

Speaker 11 (42:48):
I I agree, I mean I called to you the
other night. Guy's got to make shots.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
Guys got to play that.

Speaker 11 (42:55):
But I'm gonna say last thing. I'm gonna say, uh,
don't be ready to blow it up. This team traded
Blake Griffin. You know what, the sun came up, all right,
and a new era began. If worst case scenario, if
this goes bad, we can't be afraid to face that reality,
especially with the salary situation coming up over the next

(43:15):
couple of years, and that's going to be Okay.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
Appreciate the phone call, Doesen says, don't be afraid to
blow it up if things go south. We'll see Clippers
are three and seven. We'll be back at it here
and into a dome on Wednesday night against the Denver Nuggets,
tip off at seven thirty. Pregame is six thirty. Before
we get out of here. I want to think Ralph Lawler,
Brian Seaman, noa ego, Carlo Jomenez on the call, Big
brother Jake Warner, our head engineer, Joey Kimball, our SAT

(43:40):
Descision back in the Bank, our producer, and Daniel West.
I'm at Amas and we will talk to you guys
on Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
