Speaker 1 (00:00):
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.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Now your pre and postgame host, Adam Osland.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Maybe the Clippers were due from the outside, well, the
shooting performers like this. Maybe the Golden State Warriors were due.
Is eighth time is the charm for them after losing
seven straight games of the Clippers. They win easily tonight
up in San Francisco at Chase Center, ninety eight to
seventy nine. Over your LA Clippers. Welcome into your post
(00:38):
game show. I'm Adam Oslin with you for the next
hour here on the Patriot AM eleven fifty and our
affiliates coming up. We'll get to your postgame box score,
we'll have Clippers talk, we'll take your phone calls. But
first let's get back over to your voice of the
Clippers in Carlo Jimenez.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Carlo.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Maybe it's the law of averages going against the Clippers
in multiple ways. The Golden State Warriors hadn't be them
in their last seven tries, and the Clippers, as you mentioned,
had the best effective fuel goal percentage in the League
heading into this ball game.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Yeah, maybe, you know, I think those two things played
a factor here. I think for the Clippers, their defense,
outside of maybe the end of that fourth quarter when
the starters were out, was pretty good in this game.
I mean, you hold Golden State to thirteen points in
the second quarter, and then the Clippers were able to
slow down the Warriors a little bit in that fourth quarter,
hold them to just twenty points. But it was their
(01:29):
inefficient offense. I mean, the Clippers scored thirty points in
the final half. That is just not gonna win you
any game.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
Ever.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
It is a tough, tough one for the Clippers to swallow.
They just could not hit shots. You look at the
rest of the box score though at them, and you
know they they're plus seven in the rebounding battle. They
only turn it over thirteen times. That was that was
your number, Adam.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I believe it was it thirteen sixteen on my chart,
but I did say thirteen.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Okay, I gotta go with deer this one. I got
thirteen on this one. You know, everyone counts a different.
The Clippers got to the free throw line. The Warriors
only got four free throws. I mean they barely sent
him there. There was a lot of positives here, and
then the Clippers just couldn't knock down the open shot.
And I mean, I don't want to make it that basic,
but Adam, I feel like, and you'll check the shot chart,
(02:18):
it might be that basic in this game. Yeah, it's
not like they dominated any other part of the ballgame.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
No, this Clippers team was missing three pointers early on
that were wide open. Bogie dj Kawhi, James Harden, who
had twenty and was probably their best player in this ballgame,
still went one to five from the outside. Everybody was
just ice cold and shooting like stormtroopers out there.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
They couldn't hit anything.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And when that happens in today's NBA, especially against a
team like the Golden State Warriors that you know they're
gonna get up forty plus.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
They took forty.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Five mad seventeen. That's thirty eight percent on high volume.
You're probably gonna lose that ballgame. But I didn't think
their defense was that poor or you saw a ton
of slippage on that end outside of the end of
that third quarter, as you mentioned there, Carlow. But the
Clippers maybe do for one of these nights they got
to bounce back on their next contest coming up on Friday,
(03:13):
back and into a dome where they've shot very well
so far.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Yeah, they've been excellent into a dome I mentioned earlier,
but they've won fifteen or last sixteen games in that arena.
They've been unbelievable at home, and they'll be looking for
their third winning this season at home on Friday. Gotta
get that one against the New Orleans team that's still
trying to find its rhythm. They have yet to win
a game and play Denver tomorrow. I think for this
Clipper team, this is one where you say, you know
(03:37):
what you have off nights in the NBA, and we're
gonna figure it out. They'll be nice where we shoot
the ball better and credit Golden State for their ability
to knock down shots and get out in transition. I
don't walk away worried at them from this game. I
think that's the biggest thing. They shot eighteen percent for
the field. They got good looks, They shot thirty eighteen
percent from three to thirty six percent for the field.
(03:58):
They didn't do anything horrifically poor other than shoot the ball.
And at the end of the day, sometimes you just
lose because you can't hit shots, and the Clippers couldn't
hit shots.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, And ultimately, and I'm interested to hear from coach
lou post game on this as well. Ultimately, if you're
generating good looks, that would be called good process, that
would be called running your offense. If you are getting
enough open looks, and eventually you will progress to the mean.
We were waiting for it to happen in this game.
When it doesn't, you see a lopsided score like this.
(04:28):
The Clippers fall ninety eight to seventy nine to the
Golden State Warriors up at Chase Center, first time in
the last eight games. The Golden State Warriors take down
your LA Clippers. As we mentioned, Clippers got a couple
of days off. They're back after it at home at
into a Dome on Friday, tipping off against oh, the
New Orleans Pelicans on Halloween.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
That's scary. Seven thirty tip a six.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Thirty pre game show, looking forward to seeing the Clippers
hopefully bounce back against a team they are now due
to get a win against.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Carlo.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Yeah, they'll they'll want to win against the New Orleans
team that they've had some spooky contests against but I
feel I trust him and Adam. We got a game
at home. The Clippers always great at home. I'm excited
for that one.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
But let's go. Carlojmenez, great call as always. We will
talk to you on Friday night. My friend, see you on.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Friday, an him, see you on Halloween.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Coming up next, we will get to your postgame box score.
After the Clippers loose ninety eight to seventy nine. They
were down by as many as twenty four up at
Chase Center, and they drop one to the Golden State Warriors.
Or are now two and two on this young season,
zero to two on the road, two to zero at home.
Their next game isn't into a dome.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
As we mentioned on Friday.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
More clip Clippers post game coming up next right here
on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
All states, streaming on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
This is the Los Angeles Clippers heard exclusively on the
LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Make or miss league, they say, and the Clippers missed
a lot tonight up at Chase Center. They put up
seventy nine points in forty eight minutes and lose ninety
eight to seventy nine to the Golden State Warriors. Welcome
back into your postgame show.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
This is your Clippers' locker room show.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I Madame Oslin still to Kimb We'll have Clippers talk
on the Patriot Am eleven fifty if you want to
get on early eight seven seven five two zero eleven
fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty is
the phone number. I mean, I got all these people
in the chat being doomers, but none of you guys
ever call in or can really explain why this season
is over after four games because the Clippers are two
(06:35):
and two and had an off shooting night.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
How bad was it, Adam this bad?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
They went thirty of eighty two from the field, that
is thirty six point six percent, but from three it
was worse. They were six of thirty three from the outside,
that's eighteen point two percent. In contrast to the Golden
State Warriors, who shot forty five percent from the field
and thirty eight percent from the outside on high volume,
attempting forty five threes and making seventeen of them. Clippers,
(07:04):
on my chart, turned the ball over sixteen times, and
let's see, eleven of them came in the second half.
They only had five turnovers in the first half, where
they took back the lead after trailing by as many
as fifteen. They led by three at the half thanks
to great defense where they held the Golden State Warriors
to a thirteen point second quarter, but the Clippers continued
(07:28):
to brick and you can only hold a team down
so much. Golden State didn't even get one hundred points,
didn't get one hundred and ten.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
They only got ninety eight.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But that was enough to beat this cold shooting Clippers
team where Kawhi Leonard was seven of seventeen one of
four from the outside. DJ in this ball game one
of six, all six shots from three. Viza Zubats miss
some bunny seven or twelve, fourteen and thirteen, but miss
some good looks Bogie one of five start offs he
(08:00):
started the ballgame, didn't start the second half, that would
be betune four him got a bucket late. Hopefully that
gets him out of this rut he's been in. Really
going back to that first round series against Denver, James
Harden six of fifteen, twenty points, just one assist. Well,
there's a reason for that. He still only had three turnovers.
Guys weren't making shots, but James Harden six of fifteen,
(08:22):
one of five from the outside, seven of seven from
the charity stripe had thirteen points. I want to say
in that first quarter, trying to keep the Clippers afloat,
but the bench unit didn't get more than five points
from a player. Niko Batoomb three, Chris dunnfive, Brook Lopez three,
John Collins just two of six with five CP three
(08:42):
to zero two. Tough watch. From an offensive perspective, I
thought the Clippers generated some good looks. They could not
get anything to go. Thought it was less about the
Golden State Warriors and what they were doing, but just
the Clippers missing and coming into this game, they were
at the best fuel goal percentage in the league through
three games, best effective fuel goal percentage in the league
(09:05):
as well. Tonight regression to the mean, a hard regression.
They only put up seventy nine points. They lose ninety
eight to seventy nine. Up at Chase Center, quick time out.
We'll come back, Daniel West, Is it Clippers talk coming
up next?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
We're already there.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Eight seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty eight
seven seven five two zero eleven fifty Was that? Daniel
One more segment?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
So I have to go through more of this box score.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Oh God, I'm Adam Moslin and you're listening to your
Clippers post game locker room show.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
This is the Los Angeles Clippers.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Thank you conten for a title.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Heard exclusively on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I knew it was bad when Chris Dunn missed a
layup in the ball game.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
In the first half, the Clippers shoot six of thirty three.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
From the outside. That's eighteen percent from three thirty six
six percent overall from the floor, scorees seventy nine points
and lose ninety eight to seventy nine to.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
The Golden State Warriors.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
You hold those teams in ninety eight points in today's NBA,
especially a team like the Golden State Warriors, you should probably.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Win that game.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
The Clippers felt like the Rims betrayed them. What's the
opposite of a magnet ball like a Folger's lid on
top of the hoop?
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Just tough to see.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Clippers got two days off to work out the kinks
to find their shooting stroke again, because they came into
the ballgame shooting the best effective field goal percentage in
the league.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Friday night.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
They'll be back at home at into a Dome taken
on the New Orleans Pelicans on Halloween. This is Halloween
tip off at seven thirty. Pregame shows starting at six
thirty outside of Los Angeles. We are leaving you until then.
But up next we got Clippers Stock.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Welcome in the Clippers Talk, the official postgame show of
the Clipper on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Load up
the phones and make your feelings. No now your host
for Clippers Talk, It's Adam Osland.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
You gotta make shots in the NBA, especially against Steph
Curry and the Golden State Warriors, and the Clippers refused to.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
They did not fall tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Clippers lose ninety eight to seventy nine up at Chase
Center against Golden State. Maybe they were due. They were
the best shooting team in the league heading into this game.
They exit the game shooting thirty six point six percent
from the field in eighteen point two percent from three,
missed a lot of wide open shots, and oh yeah,
their seven game winning streak over the Golden State Warriors
(11:48):
stays there.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
They couldn't get to eight.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
The Warriors were due as well, a couple of things
going against the Clippers. If you want to get on.
Eight seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty. Eight seven seven,
five to zero eleven fifty is the phone number. A
lot of people in the chat acting like the season
is over once again, calling for coach Flue to be fired,
doing the same thing they always do anytime the Clippers lose,
(12:14):
especially early in the season before things stabilized and you realize, oh,
this is a.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Pretty dark good team.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Let's talk about some of what occurred in this ballgame
outside of just ice cold shooting, when the Clippers had
some really good looks and shots weren't falling, cause there's
not a lot you can do about that. You get
good looks, you take the shots, you get those same looks,
you take those same shots again, and you hope they fall.
(12:44):
Shooting variants is a real thing. You can't shoot thirty
six points six percent and expect to win a ballgame.
If you hold a team to ninety eight points. It
is not on your defense, it is on your offense.
And sometimes with offense it's just a.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Lot of averages they go against you.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Sometimes you were shooting the basketball really well and then
you have a game where you're shooting falls off a
cliff as you regress to the mean. I don't know
how else to explain it. They generated a lot of
good looks. I'll find the exact numbers later on tonight
when they come out on the sport for you cameras.
(13:24):
And how many open shots the Clippers missed, because I
think there are a lot of them.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
But we'll see what.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Coach lusa's postgame. We'll see what some of the players say.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
This was.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
A hard game to watch early on when the Clippers
got down fifteen, and James Harden really tried to write
the ship by himself in that first quarter, and he did,
and the Clippers got back into it and had a
turnaround whereby the two forty five mark of the second
(14:01):
quarter they had the game tied after being down by fifteen.
There was some James Harden brilliance end of the first quarter.
It was, I want to say, James Harden ending up
with I think I had him at thirteen points to
(14:21):
end the first Now, a lot of it was still
getting to the free throw line getting fouled. Yes, it
was thirteen points on four of seven, shooting five of
five from the charity stripe. In the first twelve minutes.
James Harden played the entire first period. Clippers were still
down thirty three to twenty five, but they trails many
as fifteen that first quarter, so they cut into the lead,
(14:41):
and it was James Harden because nobody else had more
than four points.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Kaw I started one of three of eats.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Zubox was two of six, missing good looks at floaters,
Like what would you like the.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Clippers to do there?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Should he not take shots from five to nine feet out?
Little push shots that he makes all the time?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
I think you have.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
To say that this is just one of those games
that happens where a lot of guys at the same
time go uncharacteristically cold. Zoo was missing easy ones. They
missed literal layups in this ballgame. Chris Dunn missed a layup.
(15:25):
Should they not take layups because they missed? Is that
not a good shot?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
All right?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
They generated some really good looks. You get them again,
you take those shots.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Clippers started nine up twenty six from the field and
two of twelve from three down by eight heading in
to the second quarter because James Harden kept him in it.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Thank goodness, the.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Clippers in the second quarter got Kawhi going had a
spinning fallaway against Jimmy Butler, a bucket out of a
timeout than a three pointer. It's a ten point game,
but that fallaway in the mid post on the near
(16:15):
side against Jimmy Butler. He d a couple of those.
But Kawhi didn't have a great shooting night, but he
did have a quick eight points early in that second quarter,
and the Clippers got this thing down to a tie
ball game at forty four on a nineteen to four
(16:38):
run thanks to mostly not their shooting coming around it
was better.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
But mostly their defense.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
They held the Golden State Warriors to thirteen points and
they defended without fouling. I don't know if they had
one foul in that second quarter. Clippers went on a
nineteen to four run from the eight minute mark of
the second to the two forty five mark, so we're
talking about six minutes to get the game tied at
(17:08):
forty four, and the Warriors had six turnovers in the
second and by the end that second quarter Clippers had
the lead. They led at the half forty nine to
forty six, miraculously down fifteen multiple times in the first quarter.
Early in the second quarter, they battled there. They were
(17:32):
good enough defensively the chip chip chip away. Eventually some
shots went for them. James Harden had seven more points
in the second quarter, as I mentioned, Kawhi had eight,
so they had what fifteen of the Clippers twenty four
points in that second quarter. Beatza Zubos was still three
(17:55):
of eight in the first half, but James Harden at
twenty point on six of twelve shooting. He was still
one of five from three, but he was making up
for it. Got fouled on a three, went to the
charity stripe started seven to seven, and the Golden State
Warriors were so bad in that second quarter shooting wise
themselves just thirteen points. Clippers had a three point lead
(18:15):
at forty nine to forty six. Heading in to the
third third quarter, Niko Batoum starts for Bogie, who is
in a Bermuda triangle right now of not being able
to find the bottom of the net. Goes back to
the playoff series against Denver. Maybe he's got to shake
off the cobwebs. He's still thinking about it. You can
(18:37):
see the wheels turning sometimes with him. I know Coach
lou is trying to get him going because they're gonna need.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Him at some point.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
They will just like they're gonna need Bradley Beal still out,
hopefully he's back by Friday. You know a lot of
people heading into this.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Were like they don't need Bradley Beal.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
More about the starting lineup coming up, don't worry. I
know that's a big talking point right now with Clipper Nation.
But Steph gets fouled on a three early on the third,
Clippers have a shot clock violation. The turnovers are starting
to pile up. They had a lineup out there with
CP three Collins, Kawhi, dj Zu bots Zoo has a
(19:23):
bad pass to DJ cutting on the near sideline, near
baseline to the basket, another turnover, everything going against them,
a done turnover trying to back down Pods.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
That leads to a Butler three.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Clippers are now down ten in the third Heal hits
a three pointer, they're down thirteen. Pods gets an easy layup,
another shot clock violation, and the Clippers then at I
think it's around the two forty five mark of the
third quarter, did not have Kawhi. James harden Or of
(20:01):
eats a Zubos on the floor, And if you want
to get upset with coach lou about anything.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
I think that's fair game.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
It happens at let me see Zuu subs out the
two forty three mark for Brook Lopez. So your lineup
out there is CP three, Don Lopez, DJ Collins. Oh boy,
did they struggle. It went from a seven point game.
(20:29):
You're okay, you're only down seven at sixty eight to
sixty one, there's two minutes and forty three seconds left
in the third quarter, to a fifteen point game heading
into the fourth turnover by Done trying to make things happen,
Jimmy Butler three pointer, Jimmy Butler making transition, POD's bucket,
(20:56):
Moses Moody three pointer. It was really really hard to
watch that Clippers group could not generate anything, and they
really shouldn't be that bad. Like you got two ball
handlers out there and CEP three and Done, Brook Lopez,
(21:19):
DJ Collins.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
They couldn't get anything going.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
So the Warriors go plus eight in the last two
minutes and forty three seconds to get up seventy eight
to sixty three heading into the fourth thanks to that lineup.
In six turnovers overall by the Clippers in the third
fourth quarter, they got Kawhi back in there, Collins Done, Kawhi,
CP three, Lopez start the fourth quarter. CP three has
(21:45):
a steal on Pods to make it eighty to sixty six.
And then Brook Lopez lost a jump ball to Moses
Moody and I'm thinking, uh oh, this can't be a
good sign. That is really bad side. You know, auspicious
starts with the fourth the Clippers continued not to be
(22:09):
able to hit anything. And Quinton Post, who had just
some of the most backbreaking shots in the ballgame. I
just look at it this way. When you talk about
how poorly the Clippers shot, the Clippers are six of
thirty three from the outside. Quentin Post is four to
(22:29):
seven by himself with twelve points, and he hit a
big one in the fourth quarter I think to put
him up twenty and eventually they were down by as
many as twenty four. It got away from them by
the time James Harden came back in.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
He was ineffective.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Clippers waved the white flag early. You saw Cam Christy, Yannick,
Kobe Brown, Telford out there for some garbage time minutes,
and the garbage time was extended because of how bad
the Clippers were.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
In the fourth quarter too.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Everything just kind of crescendoed on them with more turnovers
in the fourth and more misshots. The Clippers in the
fourth quarter, after only having a thirteen point third quarter,
had sixteen in the fourth, and I don't know how
much of that was garbage time. You score thirty points
(23:31):
in a half, not gonna win a ball game. You
score seventy nine points in the game, not gonna win.
Clippers fall ninety eight to seventy nine due to some
scoring ruts, some unbelievably poor shooting on good looks. Can't
(23:52):
overcome it. Hard to watch, I get it. It was
on NBC. Maybe that's why Clipper nations more frustrated nationally
tell that game we put together performance like that. I
was proud of them battling through the poor shooting in
the first half. But once you combine the poor shooting
with the turnovers in the third quarter, it's over. Clippers
(24:16):
lose by nineteen and lose the Golden Stafe for the
first time since I think December of twenty twenty three.
Will take a quick time out here. Clippers next ball
game coming up on Friday and into a Dome against
the New Orleans Pelicans on Halloween I'm outam Oslin and
you're listening to Clippers stock. And while we have a moment,
let's pause ten seconds for station identification here on the
Patriot AMLM fifty before we break.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
This is LA Clippers Basketball AM eleven fifty k EV
Los Angeles about and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Clippers are two and two on the young season after
a ninety eight to seventy nine loss at Chase Center
to the Golden State Warriors. More Clippers stock coming up
next here on the Patriot AMLM fifty.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Streaming on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
This is the Los Angeles Clippers heard exclusively on the
LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Well, this bog Don Magdanovitch hit his first shot the
season after starting zero for seven. Unfortunately, it came in
garbage time, as the Clippers would lose ninety eight to
seventy nine on a night where they went six of
thirty three from the outside up at Chase Center against
the Golden State Warriors. Welcome back into Clippers talk with
you for the next half hour here if you'd like
to get on eight seven seven five two zero eleven
(25:34):
fifty eight seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
So the Clippers are two and.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Two and just scored their fewest points in almost exactly
four years, going back to October twenty seventh of twenty
twenty one against the Cleveland Cavaliers. That's how bad it was.
Nights like this happen. Typically you still score more than
seventy nine, but.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
That's that's an offshooting night.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I'm not going to go crazy because guys couldn't hit
shots and couldn't hit good looks and missed layups. Zoom,
missing a floater is a layup. Chris Dunn literally missed
a layup. I don't know what I was watching at times.
Clippers not named Harden Kawhi and Avisa Zubots were ten
of thirty eight and four of twenty four. From three
(26:22):
was seven assists and six turnovers. Clippers had three shot.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Clock violation turnovers.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
That's not great. That coming from law Murray. Let's go
to Ray in Redondo Beach. Ray, you're on clipperstop with
out of maus on what's up? Ray?
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Hey? Yeah, I watched that whole game. Not super encouraging,
but I did notice one thing you were discussing that
long period in the third quarter where we really let
go of the rope, and I noticed I could see
whenever the camera panned over the TYLERU he was kind
of smirking and he would applaud. And I feel like
(27:02):
this is one of those times where we were getting
tinkering tie like he's putting these these obviously slog lineups
maybe to prove a point or to try something different.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Well, I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
And the look that we got from Coach Lou during
that moment ray and I am completely with you there
that lineup to end the third quarter with Don Lopez,
DJ and Collins in the last two minutes and forty
three seconds got out scored by eight and the lead
ballooned up to fifteen heading into the fourth. And I
(27:38):
do think Coach Lou wanted to get a look. I
wanted to see what they could do, and guys, unfortunately
weren't good enough. And sometimes you do have to let
guys see that something is going to fail before you
make chances, or else you can lose the locker room
if you just make changes a few games in without
having the proof of the EVA it is that you
(28:00):
needed to make a change. That's how you end up
with some animosity and guys making a stink in the
locker room.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
So I agree with you, Ray, but continue.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
Yeah, No, absolutely, that's kind of what I'm seeing. I mean,
we've seen this with TI in the past. It's just
really unfortunate it has to happen again when we're nationally televised,
and it just kind of adds on to that reputation
that you know, we occasionally get of like not showing
up in those big moments. But yeah, I'd say the
(28:33):
thing that has me actually concerned is how CP three
has looked like. I'm not obviously he's not going to
be the speed demon that he used to be, but
I mean I wasn't even seeing him really set up
lays most of the time. He was just immediately passing
(28:53):
it on to a secondary ball handler and then almost
serving as a decoy. Well, that's one thing to kind
of look for. I'm happy with Kawhi and Harden's performance.
I'm happy with he didn't get enough playing the second half,
But you know, we move on. It's going to be
really interesting to see how they perform against the Tawkans.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I think they're gonna bounce back just like they did
against Phoenix.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
And Portland.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
And that was a nice victory against Portland if you
look at the way they beat up on the Lakers
the very next night. So they're on a back to
back and they handled business. Portland has generated twenty turnovers
or more, I believe in every game so far. So
the Clippers had twenty four beat them anyways, because they
shot the ball much better and played great individual defense
(29:44):
and team defense in the half court when they weren't
turning the ball over and giving them live ball turnovers
and easy scores and transition. So how quickly we forget?
Everybody after Game one was acting like the sky was falling.
We're doing the same thing, not we, not me some people.
(30:07):
Ray was pretty measured there. Clippers lose this ballgame.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
The NBC point is well taken. It's a nationally televised game.
You want to show up and show who you are
to the rest of the country. And the Clippers lose
by nineteen and it wasn't close in the fourth quarter.
But do I think this game is going to define them?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
I don't know how many times I gotta say that
every time they lose a game or lose badly like
this is not what's going to define the season. Guys,
I understand the frustration. Be frustrated eight seven seven five
two zero eleven fifty. If you want to call in
be frustrated.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
I just.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
When you have a bad shooting night like this. To me,
that's the easiest explanation for what happened. You want to
call it an excuse, Okay, So what they weren't creating
good shots is what you're telling me. They didn't create
a ton of open threes, they didn't miss layups, because
that's what I saw hearing this from La Murray from
(31:18):
coach Lou. We're looking for postgame audio, but coach Lou,
apparently unprompted, mentioned missing Bradley Beal tonight being critical for
a game like this. Yeah, hopefully he's back on Friday.
That's the type of stuff that concerns me more. A
(31:39):
critical part of your offense, A starter missing two games
now after getting hurt taking a charge against Phoenix, and
you not being able to get more reps with that
player because well, we have an older team here. Kawhi'
(32:00):
is gonna miss games at some point, James Harden might
miss some games at some point. They're one guy away
from having their starting unit, and we can see what
that looks like. And Bradley Bial's been out the last
two games and he hasn't had reps with these guys
at all, being a new Clipper. That's the stuff that
I'm more concerned about than just missing open shots. I
(32:23):
just I don't put a lot into that they were
the best shooting game heading into this game. They have
a regression to the mean. You could see it was
telegraphed this bad. Maybe not, but these type of games
do happen. Clippers lose to the Golden State Warriors ninety
(32:45):
eight to seventy nine.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
We'll take a quick time out.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
We'll come back more of your phone calls eight seven
seven five two zero eleven fifty, and I'll talk about
the starting lineup some two and what could be coming
depending on if Bradley Beal's back, and just all the
different variations and ways they can play this. I'm Ota Oslins,
and you're listening to Clipperstock here on the Patriot AM
(33:09):
eleven fifty.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
This is the Los Angeles Clippers. They could conten for
a title heard exclusively on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Clippers Fall ninety eight to seventy nine up in San
Francisco at Chase Center. They lose the Golden State Warriors
for the first time in almost two years. They had
won seven straight. They also had been the hottest shooting
team in the NBA according to effective field goal percentage
heading into this ballgame, and tonight they shoot thirty six
(33:48):
point six percent from the field and six of thirty
three from the outside. Tough to overcome that. The turnovers
in the third quarter, where there were six of them.
They only had five turnovers in the first half, and
then opening period of the second half you have six,
and then a lineup that we may not see much
more closing out that third quarter.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
Couldn't get it done.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I'm Adam Moslin's This is Clippers Talk eight seven seven
five two zero eleven fifty if you'd like to get
on instead of just trolling or spamming in the chat box.
But you know most people they get on, they can't
have that same energy. One of the topics I wanted
to talk about here is something someone just brought up
(34:33):
actually in the chat talking about bo Don Bodanovich.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Hotline.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Blaine is a good song, says Adam got a ride
with Bogie.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
He got too much stock on him to turn now
I've been critical.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
He played poorly in the playoff series against Denver. He
got off to a slow start with the Clippers when
they first brought him in, then got really hot and
shot like fifty percent his last fifteen games that regular season,
but then went cold in the playoff series against Denver,
and then had a hamstring injury playing Foba basketball this summer.
(35:14):
It sounded like coming from Bogey in interviews, we heard
that it wasn't as severe as it was originally reported.
I don't think you can blame what's happening right now
with Bogdan Bogdan Bogdanovich on him coming back too soon
(35:35):
from the injury. I think he's healthy. I know he
had a little tweak with his lower back in the
first preseason game. I think this is more about the
mental game here, with the shots he's missing and how
rushed he looks. Bogey's in a funk. He needs to
get off the snide. He finally got a shot to
(35:56):
go late in the game when it was inconsequential or
garbage time. Will that help him get going? I don't know,
remember he missed. I think it was like zero for
eight the first two games against the Denver Nuggets last
year in that playoff series. Before Game three in garbage
(36:19):
time when the Clippers blew him out back and into
a dome, he got a shot to go late. Same
thing's happening now, can't get anything to go. Finally does
when it gets to garbage time. That shot against Denver
in that playoff series, though didn't get him going, didn't
turn the series around for him. He did say that
(36:41):
he was dealing with some stuff then and took him
about a month to get healthy after the season ended.
But I think this is more mental. I think this
is a low confidence issue with bo Don Bogdanovich, and
I think coach lou is trying everything to get him going.
That's why he played heavier minutes last game, even critical
(37:05):
minutes in the fourth quarter. I think he was chasing
a moment from Bogie to get a shot to go,
a meaningful one in the fourth quarter. They win that
game against Portland, regardless, he doesn't end up closing out
the game, but he was playing critical minutes early in
the fourth and then he starts again in this game
after Dunn started for him the second half of last game,
(37:29):
which really helped him against the ball pressure from Portland
and Chris Dunn was having a much better offensive game,
and of course his defense is elite on the perimeter.
But Boge starts against tonight and just he airballed a
three pointer in the first quarter. I mean, that is
(37:52):
not a guy who's hurt. That's a guy who is
in a Steve Sacks like funk where you can't throw
the ball to first. Since Steve Sacks is on with
Tim Kats mornings on five seven LA Sports, it's called
scam right now from six to nine am as they
break down the Dodgers in the World Series. Bogie's got
(38:14):
to get himself out of this, and he didn't play
meaningful minutes after that first quarter. Again, he gets back
into the game late, but Toombs starts for him in
the second half. But you miss a wide open three
on the left wing. They left him wide open, and
(38:35):
then air bowled another one in the first quarter.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
This is not the injury excuse rings hollow for me
with Bogdanovitch right now, So talking about oh Adam won't
call him out. He's got too much Bogie stock.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
How about them? How about them apples.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Bogy's got to figure it out. The problem is this
whole idea of well it just don't play him. You're
gonna need him at some point. You need him to
be confident. You can't just give up on guys this
early in the season. Four games in. That's not a solution.
You have to give them opportunities to regain their rhythm,
(39:23):
their timing and their confidence. CP three's not playing great
the last couple of games. I know he hit two
three pointers on the fourth against Portland that were wide open,
and those were good to see. But he didn't handle
their ball pressure very well either, and didn't look great
in this game. Chris paul O of two minus eleven
(39:44):
out there, part of that second unit at the end
of the third quarter that really struggled. I don't think
he's watched all of a sudden. I saw him in
the preseason. He's moving well enough. There are certain guys
that you're going to ride or die with to an extent.
(40:06):
It doesn't mean you have to play him heavy minutes,
but they have to play. Doesn't mean Bogie has to
start the next game, but he still has to play
some you're gonna hurt his confidence even more if you
just take him out of the lineup completely, and then
when you need him back, what's he gonna look like then?
I don't think you guys understand the structure of a
(40:27):
locker room or how you have to handle personalities and guys' egos,
and how difficult of a job is it to be
a head coach. Let's just start Collins right away. Hey,
Collins may start at some point, I'm all for it.
(40:49):
But four games in, if you start overreacting to bad
performances and benching guys, you're gonna losing the entire year
when you are going to need them at some point.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
So you can't afford for that to happen.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
You guys want to treat every game like it's a
must win playoff game.
Speaker 4 (41:15):
The coaching staff has.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
To actually look at things long term, over an eighty
two game season, and what's good for the health of
this team in the locker room. It's not that simple. Sure,
I expected Done to start the second half. Instead it
was Bogie. It made sense, Quinton Post was killing him,
excuse me. Instead it was Batom. It made sense to
(41:38):
put Patoma out there to start the second half of
this game. Just like it made sense to start done
the second half of last game, they started Patoomb to
guard Quentin Post. Unfortunately, he wasn't missing Will the Clippers were,
so it's not like some things weren't tried. Bogie ended
(42:00):
up playing nine minutes. Putting this game on one player
is ludicrous. I keep hearing, well, they got off to
a still start because of Bogee. Oh really, what about
the first two games of the season where he didn't
even play and they got off the slow starts, obviously
against Utah and they were also down by ten early
against Phoenix. He didn't even play in those games, and you.
Speaker 4 (42:24):
Want to scapegoat him.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
It's just weak in that respect. I'll defend him like
I defend anyone. Nobody could shoot out there. Yes, Bogie
was missing, so was everyone else. Kawhi won a four
from three, Derek Jones one of six when he had
been shooting it well. James Harden won a five, but
two one of four, Brook Lopez four, he'd.
Speaker 4 (42:48):
Been hot from three.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
John Collins O two he'd been shooting it good well,
CP three oh of one when he just knocked down
two in the fourth quarter last game. You can't just
oversimplify things like, oh, Bogie started, they got off to
a soil start because of him, and that's what they lost.
Speaker 4 (43:08):
They had plenty of chances, they were up at the half.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
And all these other guys and I just ran through
the box score with couldn't hit anything, shooting like Stormtroopers.
Somebody wants to blame Dave Roberts for this loss.
Speaker 4 (43:29):
Very rational, very logical.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
Maybe that's part of the Anks tonight too, Dodgers loss.
People are upset about that. Then the Clippers lose on
national television on NBC. That had a great intro with
Bob Costas. It felt like a playoff game, so they
built it up and the Clippers.
Speaker 4 (43:48):
By the end of the third.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
Quarter they were in deep trouble. No one is saying this.
I have actual tweets. I am retweeting at follow outam
ay that I could show you a people blaming Bogie
just go there.
Speaker 4 (44:06):
Don't tell me.
Speaker 2 (44:07):
Nobody was blaming him. Tons of people were blaming him,
blaming coach Lou.
Speaker 4 (44:16):
That's why we lost. I'll take you a quick time out.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
Clippers as a team could not shoot tonight. Ninety eight
to seventy nine was your final. They only score seventy
nine points. We're shooting night in almost four years.
Speaker 4 (44:38):
I'm out of Muslims. And this is Clippers stock on
the Patriot AMULM.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
Fifty streaming on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
This is the Los Angeles Clippers heard exclusively I'm the
LA Clippers on Network.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Clippers lose, Clipper Nations loses their mind again ninety eight
to seventy nine against the Golden State Warriors up in
northern California. Welcome back in I'm at a Moslin. Thomas
Ortega in the chat said, Adam, we aren't mad.
Speaker 4 (45:14):
At the results.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
We are mad at the process. Lou is hurting our
chances and we all see it. Shill all you want.
So we're just not going to understand a locker room dynamic,
how early it is in the season, and how you
also are going to need these guys at some point.
That's the part of the equation you're missing.
Speaker 4 (45:32):
You think it's just about winning that game that night.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
People would say this all season long with the Dodgers too,
When Dave Roberts is like, I gotta play the long game.
Coach lou is playing the long game for the better
off or better overall health, of this team to not
make knee jerk reactions all over the place and just
(45:55):
start benching guys or changing the starting lineup constantly or
pulling the trigger too soon. The hope is that this
process that they're actually using ends up leading to more
(46:15):
wins down the line, because you don't just give up
on guys that you're eventually going to need, like Bogie.
You can't treat the regular season like every game is
a Game seven, because inevitably guys are.
Speaker 4 (46:37):
Going to be out.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
And you're going to need your death and some of
these guys that you all want to give up on already.
That's how it works. Quickly, Mike and La, you're on
clipper stock without a Maslin.
Speaker 4 (46:54):
What's up, Mike?
Speaker 7 (46:56):
You know, for me, the frustration in this loss is really,
I guess left over frustration from the Utah loss. You know,
losing tonight, you know, get you miss shops if it happens.
But you know, given the context of the Utah loss,
you know, a week ago, and you know the stated
(47:17):
lead by you know, multiple members of the team to
get out to a strong start, you know, to start
the season, and we you know relative you know, softness
of the schedule if you will early in the season,
it just, you know, gets very frustrating.
Speaker 2 (47:31):
I agree they need to start at worse seven and
three their first ten games, and they're two and two.
I agree with that part, but it hasn't been ideal.
Guys have been banged up already, with one of your
starters in Bradley Beal missing. I just I don't understand,
like nine to one six, kid in here who's impersonating
me is saying, no.
Speaker 4 (47:53):
We expect better effort. It's like, what was their effort.
Speaker 2 (47:56):
Good when they held the Golden State Warriors to thirteen
points in the second core. Some people are confusing effort
with execution. I don't think the effort was that bad.
I think they miss a ton of shots. They missed
lay ups in this game.
Speaker 7 (48:13):
I just think after the UPAH lost, your margin for
error shrinks. You know for those you know first ten
games so much. You know you still have OKAC coming
up next week, and you know New Orleans on Friday.
That's never been an easy you know, I don't care
who's on New Orleans. They always play well against the
Clippers for whatever reason. You know that That's where you know,
(48:34):
for me, a lot of the you know, frustration comes that,
all right, you kind of you know, had your moment
at Utah.
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Yeah, I don't. I don't love what happened in Utah.
They also might be a better team than we expected
coming into the season. We'll see how that plays out.
I appreciate the phone call, Mike. Look, if they lose
to the Pelicans and it's some low effort game and
they're lollygagging out there and not getting back on defense
and looked disinterested, add into it dumb and you guys
(49:02):
want to hit the panic button. Then after two days
off to a Pelicans team that I don't think is
a playoff team this season at home, then okay, then
you guys have a right to be upset. Let me
know if that happens, because I think they're.
Speaker 4 (49:18):
Gonna play well on Friday Night. Let me know if
that happens.
Speaker 2 (49:22):
They get to two and three and they're not playing well,
let me know, because I think they're gonna come back
and bounce back on Friday. I mean, they held a
team to ninety eight points and lost because they couldn't
hitch us. Hey, I'm not against Collins in the starting lineup.
(49:44):
Done in the starting line up, all these things. I'm
just explaining to you the things that the coaching staff
actually has to take into account that you don't. They're
not robots. It's not plug and play. They have to
manage egos, they have to manage the locker room. And
you can't give up on guys four games in. And
I'm not giving up on this team because they're two
and two, four games in Friday night, they're tipping off
(50:07):
at seven thirty, pregame show at six thirty. Before we
get out of here, I do want to thank Carlo
Jimenez on the call, Daniel West back here in Burbank,
our producer, I'm madam Masa. We will talk to you
Friday at six thirty with your pregame show on Halloween.
And yeah, that is kind of scary taking on the
Pelicans then, but I expect a good performance.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
Talk to you then.
Speaker 1 (50:27):
Clippers Talk is over.
Speaker 7 (50:28):
But it's going on your feed right after the show.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
Now, if you miss the show, you can follow it
wherever you podcast.
Speaker 4 (50:34):
I listen on the iHeartRadio app make us a Presea.
Speaker 6 (50:37):
I never miss an episode.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
But that concludes this broadcast of La Clippers basketball. The
LA Clippers be sure to join us for every game
all season long. Right here, I'm your home of the
LA Clippers.
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.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Now your pre and postgame host, Adam Osland.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Maybe the Clippers were due from the outside, well, the
shooting performers like this. Maybe the Golden State Warriors were due.
Is eighth time is the charm for them after losing
seven straight games of the Clippers. They win easily tonight
up in San Francisco at Chase Center, ninety eight to
seventy nine. Over your LA Clippers. Welcome into your post
(00:38):
game show. I'm Adam Oslin with you for the next
hour here on the Patriot AM eleven fifty and our
affiliates coming up. We'll get to your postgame box score,
we'll have Clippers talk, we'll take your phone calls. But
first let's get back over to your voice of the
Clippers in Carlo Jimenez.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Carlo.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Maybe it's the law of averages going against the Clippers
in multiple ways. The Golden State Warriors hadn't be them
in their last seven tries, and the Clippers, as you mentioned,
had the best effective fuel goal percentage in the League
heading into this ball game.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Yeah, maybe, you know, I think those two things played
a factor here. I think for the Clippers, their defense,
outside of maybe the end of that fourth quarter when
the starters were out, was pretty good in this game.
I mean, you hold Golden State to thirteen points in
the second quarter, and then the Clippers were able to
slow down the Warriors a little bit in that fourth quarter,
hold them to just twenty points. But it was their
(01:29):
inefficient offense. I mean, the Clippers scored thirty points in
the final half. That is just not gonna win you
any game.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
Ever.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
It is a tough, tough one for the Clippers to swallow.
They just could not hit shots. You look at the
rest of the box score though at them, and you
know they they're plus seven in the rebounding battle. They
only turn it over thirteen times. That was that was
your number, Adam.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I believe it was it thirteen sixteen on my chart,
but I did say thirteen.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Okay, I gotta go with deer this one. I got
thirteen on this one. You know, everyone counts a different.
The Clippers got to the free throw line. The Warriors
only got four free throws. I mean they barely sent
him there. There was a lot of positives here, and
then the Clippers just couldn't knock down the open shot.
And I mean, I don't want to make it that basic,
but Adam, I feel like, and you'll check the shot chart,
(02:18):
it might be that basic in this game. Yeah, it's
not like they dominated any other part of the ballgame.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
No, this Clippers team was missing three pointers early on
that were wide open. Bogie dj Kawhi, James Harden, who
had twenty and was probably their best player in this ballgame,
still went one to five from the outside. Everybody was
just ice cold and shooting like stormtroopers out there.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
They couldn't hit anything.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And when that happens in today's NBA, especially against a
team like the Golden State Warriors that you know they're
gonna get up forty plus.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
They took forty.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Five mad seventeen. That's thirty eight percent on high volume.
You're probably gonna lose that ballgame. But I didn't think
their defense was that poor or you saw a ton
of slippage on that end outside of the end of
that third quarter, as you mentioned there, Carlow. But the
Clippers maybe do for one of these nights they got
to bounce back on their next contest coming up on Friday,
(03:13):
back and into a dome where they've shot very well
so far.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Yeah, they've been excellent into a dome I mentioned earlier,
but they've won fifteen or last sixteen games in that arena.
They've been unbelievable at home, and they'll be looking for
their third winning this season at home on Friday. Gotta
get that one against the New Orleans team that's still
trying to find its rhythm. They have yet to win
a game and play Denver tomorrow. I think for this
Clipper team, this is one where you say, you know
(03:37):
what you have off nights in the NBA, and we're
gonna figure it out. They'll be nice where we shoot
the ball better and credit Golden State for their ability
to knock down shots and get out in transition. I
don't walk away worried at them from this game. I
think that's the biggest thing. They shot eighteen percent for
the field. They got good looks, They shot thirty eighteen
percent from three to thirty six percent for the field.
(03:58):
They didn't do anything horrifically poor other than shoot the ball.
And at the end of the day, sometimes you just
lose because you can't hit shots, and the Clippers couldn't
hit shots.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, And ultimately, and I'm interested to hear from coach
lou post game on this as well. Ultimately, if you're
generating good looks, that would be called good process, that
would be called running your offense. If you are getting
enough open looks, and eventually you will progress to the mean.
We were waiting for it to happen in this game.
When it doesn't, you see a lopsided score like this.
(04:28):
The Clippers fall ninety eight to seventy nine to the
Golden State Warriors up at Chase Center, first time in
the last eight games. The Golden State Warriors take down
your LA Clippers. As we mentioned, Clippers got a couple
of days off. They're back after it at home at
into a Dome on Friday, tipping off against oh, the
New Orleans Pelicans on Halloween.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
That's scary. Seven thirty tip a six.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Thirty pre game show, looking forward to seeing the Clippers
hopefully bounce back against a team they are now due
to get a win against.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Carlo.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Yeah, they'll they'll want to win against the New Orleans
team that they've had some spooky contests against but I
feel I trust him and Adam. We got a game
at home. The Clippers always great at home. I'm excited
for that one.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
But let's go. Carlojmenez, great call as always. We will
talk to you on Friday night. My friend, see you on.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
Friday, an him, see you on Halloween.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Coming up next, we will get to your postgame box score.
After the Clippers loose ninety eight to seventy nine. They
were down by as many as twenty four up at
Chase Center, and they drop one to the Golden State Warriors.
Or are now two and two on this young season,
zero to two on the road, two to zero at home.
Their next game isn't into a dome.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
As we mentioned on Friday.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
More clip Clippers post game coming up next right here
on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
All states, streaming on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
This is the Los Angeles Clippers heard exclusively on the
LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Make or miss league, they say, and the Clippers missed
a lot tonight up at Chase Center. They put up
seventy nine points in forty eight minutes and lose ninety
eight to seventy nine to the Golden State Warriors. Welcome
back into your postgame show.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
This is your Clippers' locker room show.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I Madame Oslin still to Kimb We'll have Clippers talk
on the Patriot Am eleven fifty if you want to
get on early eight seven seven five two zero eleven
fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty is
the phone number. I mean, I got all these people
in the chat being doomers, but none of you guys
ever call in or can really explain why this season
is over after four games because the Clippers are two
(06:35):
and two and had an off shooting night.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
How bad was it, Adam this bad?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
They went thirty of eighty two from the field, that
is thirty six point six percent, but from three it
was worse. They were six of thirty three from the outside,
that's eighteen point two percent. In contrast to the Golden
State Warriors, who shot forty five percent from the field
and thirty eight percent from the outside on high volume,
attempting forty five threes and making seventeen of them. Clippers,
(07:04):
on my chart, turned the ball over sixteen times, and
let's see, eleven of them came in the second half.
They only had five turnovers in the first half, where
they took back the lead after trailing by as many
as fifteen. They led by three at the half thanks
to great defense where they held the Golden State Warriors
to a thirteen point second quarter, but the Clippers continued
(07:28):
to brick and you can only hold a team down
so much. Golden State didn't even get one hundred points,
didn't get one hundred and ten.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
They only got ninety eight.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But that was enough to beat this cold shooting Clippers
team where Kawhi Leonard was seven of seventeen one of
four from the outside. DJ in this ball game one
of six, all six shots from three. Viza Zubats miss
some bunny seven or twelve, fourteen and thirteen, but miss
some good looks Bogie one of five start offs he
(08:00):
started the ballgame, didn't start the second half, that would
be betune four him got a bucket late. Hopefully that
gets him out of this rut he's been in. Really
going back to that first round series against Denver, James
Harden six of fifteen, twenty points, just one assist. Well,
there's a reason for that. He still only had three turnovers.
Guys weren't making shots, but James Harden six of fifteen,
(08:22):
one of five from the outside, seven of seven from
the charity stripe had thirteen points. I want to say
in that first quarter, trying to keep the Clippers afloat,
but the bench unit didn't get more than five points
from a player. Niko Batoomb three, Chris dunnfive, Brook Lopez three,
John Collins just two of six with five CP three
(08:42):
to zero two. Tough watch. From an offensive perspective, I
thought the Clippers generated some good looks. They could not
get anything to go. Thought it was less about the
Golden State Warriors and what they were doing, but just
the Clippers missing and coming into this game, they were
at the best fuel goal percentage in the league through
three games, best effective fuel goal percentage in the league
(09:05):
as well. Tonight regression to the mean, a hard regression.
They only put up seventy nine points. They lose ninety
eight to seventy nine. Up at Chase Center, quick time out.
We'll come back, Daniel West, Is it Clippers talk coming
up next?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
We're already there.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Eight seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty eight
seven seven five two zero eleven fifty Was that? Daniel
One more segment?
Speaker 4 (09:30):
So I have to go through more of this box score.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Oh God, I'm Adam Moslin and you're listening to your
Clippers post game locker room show.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
This is the Los Angeles Clippers.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Thank you conten for a title.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Heard exclusively on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I knew it was bad when Chris Dunn missed a
layup in the ball game.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
In the first half, the Clippers shoot six of thirty three.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
From the outside. That's eighteen percent from three thirty six
six percent overall from the floor, scorees seventy nine points
and lose ninety eight to seventy nine to.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
The Golden State Warriors.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
You hold those teams in ninety eight points in today's NBA,
especially a team like the Golden State Warriors, you should probably.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Win that game.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
The Clippers felt like the Rims betrayed them. What's the
opposite of a magnet ball like a Folger's lid on
top of the hoop?
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Just tough to see.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Clippers got two days off to work out the kinks
to find their shooting stroke again, because they came into
the ballgame shooting the best effective field goal percentage in
the league.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Friday night.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
They'll be back at home at into a Dome taken
on the New Orleans Pelicans on Halloween. This is Halloween
tip off at seven thirty. Pregame shows starting at six
thirty outside of Los Angeles. We are leaving you until then.
But up next we got Clippers Stock.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Welcome in the Clippers Talk, the official postgame show of
the Clipper on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Load up
the phones and make your feelings. No now your host
for Clippers Talk, It's Adam Osland.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
You gotta make shots in the NBA, especially against Steph
Curry and the Golden State Warriors, and the Clippers refused to.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
They did not fall tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Clippers lose ninety eight to seventy nine up at Chase
Center against Golden State. Maybe they were due. They were
the best shooting team in the league heading into this game.
They exit the game shooting thirty six point six percent
from the field in eighteen point two percent from three,
missed a lot of wide open shots, and oh yeah,
their seven game winning streak over the Golden State Warriors
(11:48):
stays there.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
They couldn't get to eight.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
The Warriors were due as well, a couple of things
going against the Clippers. If you want to get on.
Eight seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty. Eight seven seven,
five to zero eleven fifty is the phone number. A
lot of people in the chat acting like the season
is over once again, calling for coach Flue to be fired,
doing the same thing they always do anytime the Clippers lose,
(12:14):
especially early in the season before things stabilized and you realize, oh,
this is a.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Pretty dark good team.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Let's talk about some of what occurred in this ballgame
outside of just ice cold shooting, when the Clippers had
some really good looks and shots weren't falling, cause there's
not a lot you can do about that. You get
good looks, you take the shots, you get those same looks,
you take those same shots again, and you hope they fall.
(12:44):
Shooting variants is a real thing. You can't shoot thirty
six points six percent and expect to win a ballgame.
If you hold a team to ninety eight points. It
is not on your defense, it is on your offense.
And sometimes with offense it's just a.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Lot of averages they go against you.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Sometimes you were shooting the basketball really well and then
you have a game where you're shooting falls off a
cliff as you regress to the mean. I don't know
how else to explain it. They generated a lot of
good looks. I'll find the exact numbers later on tonight
when they come out on the sport for you cameras.
(13:24):
And how many open shots the Clippers missed, because I
think there are a lot of them.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
But we'll see what.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Coach lusa's postgame. We'll see what some of the players say.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
This was.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
A hard game to watch early on when the Clippers
got down fifteen, and James Harden really tried to write
the ship by himself in that first quarter, and he did,
and the Clippers got back into it and had a
turnaround whereby the two forty five mark of the second
(14:01):
quarter they had the game tied after being down by fifteen.
There was some James Harden brilliance end of the first quarter.
It was, I want to say, James Harden ending up
with I think I had him at thirteen points to
(14:21):
end the first Now, a lot of it was still
getting to the free throw line getting fouled. Yes, it
was thirteen points on four of seven, shooting five of
five from the charity stripe. In the first twelve minutes.
James Harden played the entire first period. Clippers were still
down thirty three to twenty five, but they trails many
as fifteen that first quarter, so they cut into the lead,
(14:41):
and it was James Harden because nobody else had more
than four points.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Kaw I started one of three of eats.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Zubox was two of six, missing good looks at floaters,
Like what would you like the.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Clippers to do there?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Should he not take shots from five to nine feet out?
Little push shots that he makes all the time?
Speaker 4 (15:02):
I think you have.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
To say that this is just one of those games
that happens where a lot of guys at the same
time go uncharacteristically cold. Zoo was missing easy ones. They
missed literal layups in this ballgame. Chris Dunn missed a layup.
(15:25):
Should they not take layups because they missed? Is that
not a good shot?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
All right?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
They generated some really good looks. You get them again,
you take those shots.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Clippers started nine up twenty six from the field and
two of twelve from three down by eight heading in
to the second quarter because James Harden kept him in it.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Thank goodness, the.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Clippers in the second quarter got Kawhi going had a
spinning fallaway against Jimmy Butler, a bucket out of a
timeout than a three pointer. It's a ten point game,
but that fallaway in the mid post on the near
(16:15):
side against Jimmy Butler. He d a couple of those.
But Kawhi didn't have a great shooting night, but he
did have a quick eight points early in that second quarter,
and the Clippers got this thing down to a tie
ball game at forty four on a nineteen to four
(16:38):
run thanks to mostly not their shooting coming around it
was better.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
But mostly their defense.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
They held the Golden State Warriors to thirteen points and
they defended without fouling. I don't know if they had
one foul in that second quarter. Clippers went on a
nineteen to four run from the eight minute mark of
the second to the two forty five mark, so we're
talking about six minutes to get the game tied at
(17:08):
forty four, and the Warriors had six turnovers in the
second and by the end that second quarter Clippers had
the lead. They led at the half forty nine to
forty six, miraculously down fifteen multiple times in the first quarter.
Early in the second quarter, they battled there. They were
(17:32):
good enough defensively the chip chip chip away. Eventually some
shots went for them. James Harden had seven more points
in the second quarter, as I mentioned, Kawhi had eight,
so they had what fifteen of the Clippers twenty four
points in that second quarter. Beatza Zubos was still three
(17:55):
of eight in the first half, but James Harden at
twenty point on six of twelve shooting. He was still
one of five from three, but he was making up
for it. Got fouled on a three, went to the
charity stripe started seven to seven, and the Golden State
Warriors were so bad in that second quarter shooting wise
themselves just thirteen points. Clippers had a three point lead
(18:15):
at forty nine to forty six. Heading in to the
third third quarter, Niko Batoum starts for Bogie, who is
in a Bermuda triangle right now of not being able
to find the bottom of the net. Goes back to
the playoff series against Denver. Maybe he's got to shake
off the cobwebs. He's still thinking about it. You can
(18:37):
see the wheels turning sometimes with him. I know Coach
lou is trying to get him going because they're gonna need.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Him at some point.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
They will just like they're gonna need Bradley Beal still out,
hopefully he's back by Friday. You know a lot of
people heading into this.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Were like they don't need Bradley Beal.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
More about the starting lineup coming up, don't worry. I
know that's a big talking point right now with Clipper Nation.
But Steph gets fouled on a three early on the third,
Clippers have a shot clock violation. The turnovers are starting
to pile up. They had a lineup out there with
CP three Collins, Kawhi, dj Zu bots Zoo has a
(19:23):
bad pass to DJ cutting on the near sideline, near
baseline to the basket, another turnover, everything going against them,
a done turnover trying to back down Pods.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
That leads to a Butler three.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Clippers are now down ten in the third Heal hits
a three pointer, they're down thirteen. Pods gets an easy layup,
another shot clock violation, and the Clippers then at I
think it's around the two forty five mark of the
third quarter, did not have Kawhi. James harden Or of
(20:01):
eats a Zubos on the floor, And if you want
to get upset with coach lou about anything.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
I think that's fair game.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
It happens at let me see Zuu subs out the
two forty three mark for Brook Lopez. So your lineup
out there is CP three, Don Lopez, DJ Collins. Oh boy,
did they struggle. It went from a seven point game.
(20:29):
You're okay, you're only down seven at sixty eight to
sixty one, there's two minutes and forty three seconds left
in the third quarter, to a fifteen point game heading
into the fourth turnover by Done trying to make things happen,
Jimmy Butler three pointer, Jimmy Butler making transition, POD's bucket,
(20:56):
Moses Moody three pointer. It was really really hard to
watch that Clippers group could not generate anything, and they
really shouldn't be that bad. Like you got two ball
handlers out there and CEP three and Done, Brook Lopez,
(21:19):
DJ Collins.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
They couldn't get anything going.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
So the Warriors go plus eight in the last two
minutes and forty three seconds to get up seventy eight
to sixty three heading into the fourth thanks to that lineup.
In six turnovers overall by the Clippers in the third
fourth quarter, they got Kawhi back in there, Collins Done, Kawhi,
CP three, Lopez start the fourth quarter. CP three has
(21:45):
a steal on Pods to make it eighty to sixty six.
And then Brook Lopez lost a jump ball to Moses
Moody and I'm thinking, uh oh, this can't be a
good sign. That is really bad side. You know, auspicious
starts with the fourth the Clippers continued not to be
(22:09):
able to hit anything. And Quinton Post, who had just
some of the most backbreaking shots in the ballgame. I
just look at it this way. When you talk about
how poorly the Clippers shot, the Clippers are six of
thirty three from the outside. Quentin Post is four to
(22:29):
seven by himself with twelve points, and he hit a
big one in the fourth quarter I think to put
him up twenty and eventually they were down by as
many as twenty four. It got away from them by
the time James Harden came back in.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
He was ineffective.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Clippers waved the white flag early. You saw Cam Christy, Yannick,
Kobe Brown, Telford out there for some garbage time minutes,
and the garbage time was extended because of how bad
the Clippers were.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
In the fourth quarter too.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Everything just kind of crescendoed on them with more turnovers
in the fourth and more misshots. The Clippers in the
fourth quarter, after only having a thirteen point third quarter,
had sixteen in the fourth, and I don't know how
much of that was garbage time. You score thirty points
(23:31):
in a half, not gonna win a ball game. You
score seventy nine points in the game, not gonna win.
Clippers fall ninety eight to seventy nine due to some
scoring ruts, some unbelievably poor shooting on good looks. Can't
(23:52):
overcome it. Hard to watch, I get it. It was
on NBC. Maybe that's why Clipper nations more frustrated nationally
tell that game we put together performance like that. I
was proud of them battling through the poor shooting in
the first half. But once you combine the poor shooting
with the turnovers in the third quarter, it's over. Clippers
(24:16):
lose by nineteen and lose the Golden Stafe for the
first time since I think December of twenty twenty three.
Will take a quick time out here. Clippers next ball
game coming up on Friday and into a Dome against
the New Orleans Pelicans on Halloween I'm outam Oslin and
you're listening to Clippers stock. And while we have a moment,
let's pause ten seconds for station identification here on the
Patriot AMLM fifty before we break.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
This is LA Clippers Basketball AM eleven fifty k EV
Los Angeles about and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Clippers are two and two on the young season after
a ninety eight to seventy nine loss at Chase Center
to the Golden State Warriors. More Clippers stock coming up
next here on the Patriot AMLM fifty.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Streaming on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
This is the Los Angeles Clippers heard exclusively on the
LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Well, this bog Don Magdanovitch hit his first shot the
season after starting zero for seven. Unfortunately, it came in
garbage time, as the Clippers would lose ninety eight to
seventy nine on a night where they went six of
thirty three from the outside up at Chase Center against
the Golden State Warriors. Welcome back into Clippers talk with
you for the next half hour here if you'd like
to get on eight seven seven five two zero eleven
(25:34):
fifty eight seven seven five to two zero eleven fifty.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
So the Clippers are two and.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Two and just scored their fewest points in almost exactly
four years, going back to October twenty seventh of twenty
twenty one against the Cleveland Cavaliers. That's how bad it was.
Nights like this happen. Typically you still score more than
seventy nine, but.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
That's that's an offshooting night.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I'm not going to go crazy because guys couldn't hit
shots and couldn't hit good looks and missed layups. Zoom,
missing a floater is a layup. Chris Dunn literally missed
a layup. I don't know what I was watching at times.
Clippers not named Harden Kawhi and Avisa Zubots were ten
of thirty eight and four of twenty four. From three
(26:22):
was seven assists and six turnovers. Clippers had three shot.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Clock violation turnovers.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
That's not great. That coming from law Murray. Let's go
to Ray in Redondo Beach. Ray, you're on clipperstop with
out of maus on what's up? Ray?
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Hey? Yeah, I watched that whole game. Not super encouraging,
but I did notice one thing you were discussing that
long period in the third quarter where we really let
go of the rope, and I noticed I could see
whenever the camera panned over the TYLERU he was kind
of smirking and he would applaud. And I feel like
(27:02):
this is one of those times where we were getting
tinkering tie like he's putting these these obviously slog lineups
maybe to prove a point or to try something different.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Well, I know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
And the look that we got from Coach Lou during
that moment ray and I am completely with you there
that lineup to end the third quarter with Don Lopez,
DJ and Collins in the last two minutes and forty
three seconds got out scored by eight and the lead
ballooned up to fifteen heading into the fourth. And I
(27:38):
do think Coach Lou wanted to get a look. I
wanted to see what they could do, and guys, unfortunately
weren't good enough. And sometimes you do have to let
guys see that something is going to fail before you
make chances, or else you can lose the locker room
if you just make changes a few games in without
having the proof of the EVA it is that you
(28:00):
needed to make a change. That's how you end up
with some animosity and guys making a stink in the
locker room.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
So I agree with you, Ray, but continue.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
Yeah, No, absolutely, that's kind of what I'm seeing. I mean,
we've seen this with TI in the past. It's just
really unfortunate it has to happen again when we're nationally televised,
and it just kind of adds on to that reputation
that you know, we occasionally get of like not showing
up in those big moments. But yeah, I'd say the
(28:33):
thing that has me actually concerned is how CP three
has looked like. I'm not obviously he's not going to
be the speed demon that he used to be, but
I mean I wasn't even seeing him really set up
lays most of the time. He was just immediately passing
(28:53):
it on to a secondary ball handler and then almost
serving as a decoy. Well, that's one thing to kind
of look for. I'm happy with Kawhi and Harden's performance.
I'm happy with he didn't get enough playing the second half,
But you know, we move on. It's going to be
really interesting to see how they perform against the Tawkans.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I think they're gonna bounce back just like they did
against Phoenix.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
And Portland.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
And that was a nice victory against Portland if you
look at the way they beat up on the Lakers
the very next night. So they're on a back to
back and they handled business. Portland has generated twenty turnovers
or more, I believe in every game so far. So
the Clippers had twenty four beat them anyways, because they
shot the ball much better and played great individual defense
(29:44):
and team defense in the half court when they weren't
turning the ball over and giving them live ball turnovers
and easy scores and transition. So how quickly we forget?
Everybody after Game one was acting like the sky was falling.
We're doing the same thing, not we, not me some people.
(30:07):
Ray was pretty measured there. Clippers lose this ballgame.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
The NBC point is well taken. It's a nationally televised game.
You want to show up and show who you are
to the rest of the country. And the Clippers lose
by nineteen and it wasn't close in the fourth quarter.
But do I think this game is going to define them?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
I don't know how many times I gotta say that
every time they lose a game or lose badly like
this is not what's going to define the season. Guys,
I understand the frustration. Be frustrated eight seven seven five
two zero eleven fifty. If you want to call in
be frustrated.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
I just.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
When you have a bad shooting night like this. To me,
that's the easiest explanation for what happened. You want to
call it an excuse, Okay, So what they weren't creating
good shots is what you're telling me. They didn't create
a ton of open threes, they didn't miss layups, because
that's what I saw hearing this from La Murray from
(31:18):
coach Lou. We're looking for postgame audio, but coach Lou,
apparently unprompted, mentioned missing Bradley Beal tonight being critical for
a game like this. Yeah, hopefully he's back on Friday.
That's the type of stuff that concerns me more. A
(31:39):
critical part of your offense, A starter missing two games
now after getting hurt taking a charge against Phoenix, and
you not being able to get more reps with that
player because well, we have an older team here. Kawhi'
(32:00):
is gonna miss games at some point, James Harden might
miss some games at some point. They're one guy away
from having their starting unit, and we can see what
that looks like. And Bradley Bial's been out the last
two games and he hasn't had reps with these guys
at all, being a new Clipper. That's the stuff that
I'm more concerned about than just missing open shots. I
(32:23):
just I don't put a lot into that they were
the best shooting game heading into this game. They have
a regression to the mean. You could see it was
telegraphed this bad. Maybe not, but these type of games
do happen. Clippers lose to the Golden State Warriors ninety
(32:45):
eight to seventy nine.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
We'll take a quick time out.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
We'll come back more of your phone calls eight seven
seven five two zero eleven fifty, and I'll talk about
the starting lineup some two and what could be coming
depending on if Bradley Beal's back, and just all the
different variations and ways they can play this. I'm Ota Oslins,
and you're listening to Clipperstock here on the Patriot AM
(33:09):
eleven fifty.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
This is the Los Angeles Clippers. They could conten for
a title heard exclusively on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Clippers Fall ninety eight to seventy nine up in San
Francisco at Chase Center. They lose the Golden State Warriors
for the first time in almost two years. They had
won seven straight. They also had been the hottest shooting
team in the NBA according to effective field goal percentage
heading into this ballgame, and tonight they shoot thirty six
(33:48):
point six percent from the field and six of thirty
three from the outside. Tough to overcome that. The turnovers
in the third quarter, where there were six of them.
They only had five turnovers in the first half, and
then opening period of the second half you have six,
and then a lineup that we may not see much
more closing out that third quarter.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
Couldn't get it done.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
I'm Adam Moslin's This is Clippers Talk eight seven seven
five two zero eleven fifty if you'd like to get
on instead of just trolling or spamming in the chat box.
But you know most people they get on, they can't
have that same energy. One of the topics I wanted
to talk about here is something someone just brought up
(34:33):
actually in the chat talking about bo Don Bodanovich.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Hotline.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Blaine is a good song, says Adam got a ride
with Bogie.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
He got too much stock on him to turn now
I've been critical.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
He played poorly in the playoff series against Denver. He
got off to a slow start with the Clippers when
they first brought him in, then got really hot and
shot like fifty percent his last fifteen games that regular season,
but then went cold in the playoff series against Denver,
and then had a hamstring injury playing Foba basketball this summer.
(35:14):
It sounded like coming from Bogey in interviews, we heard
that it wasn't as severe as it was originally reported.
I don't think you can blame what's happening right now
with Bogdan Bogdan Bogdanovich on him coming back too soon
(35:35):
from the injury. I think he's healthy. I know he
had a little tweak with his lower back in the
first preseason game. I think this is more about the
mental game here, with the shots he's missing and how
rushed he looks. Bogey's in a funk. He needs to
get off the snide. He finally got a shot to
(35:56):
go late in the game when it was inconsequential or
garbage time. Will that help him get going? I don't know,
remember he missed. I think it was like zero for
eight the first two games against the Denver Nuggets last
year in that playoff series. Before Game three in garbage
(36:19):
time when the Clippers blew him out back and into
a dome, he got a shot to go late. Same
thing's happening now, can't get anything to go. Finally does
when it gets to garbage time. That shot against Denver
in that playoff series, though didn't get him going, didn't
turn the series around for him. He did say that
(36:41):
he was dealing with some stuff then and took him
about a month to get healthy after the season ended.
But I think this is more mental. I think this
is a low confidence issue with bo Don Bogdanovich, and
I think coach lou is trying everything to get him going.
That's why he played heavier minutes last game, even critical
(37:05):
minutes in the fourth quarter. I think he was chasing
a moment from Bogie to get a shot to go,
a meaningful one in the fourth quarter. They win that
game against Portland, regardless, he doesn't end up closing out
the game, but he was playing critical minutes early in
the fourth and then he starts again in this game
after Dunn started for him the second half of last game,
(37:29):
which really helped him against the ball pressure from Portland
and Chris Dunn was having a much better offensive game,
and of course his defense is elite on the perimeter.
But Boge starts against tonight and just he airballed a
three pointer in the first quarter. I mean, that is
(37:52):
not a guy who's hurt. That's a guy who is
in a Steve Sacks like funk where you can't throw
the ball to first. Since Steve Sacks is on with
Tim Kats mornings on five seven LA Sports, it's called
scam right now from six to nine am as they
break down the Dodgers in the World Series. Bogie's got
(38:14):
to get himself out of this, and he didn't play
meaningful minutes after that first quarter. Again, he gets back
into the game late, but Toombs starts for him in
the second half. But you miss a wide open three
on the left wing. They left him wide open, and
(38:35):
then air bowled another one in the first quarter.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
This is not the injury excuse rings hollow for me
with Bogdanovitch right now, So talking about oh Adam won't
call him out. He's got too much Bogie stock.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
How about them? How about them apples.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Bogy's got to figure it out. The problem is this
whole idea of well it just don't play him. You're
gonna need him at some point. You need him to
be confident. You can't just give up on guys this
early in the season. Four games in. That's not a solution.
You have to give them opportunities to regain their rhythm,
(39:23):
their timing and their confidence. CP three's not playing great
the last couple of games. I know he hit two
three pointers on the fourth against Portland that were wide open,
and those were good to see. But he didn't handle
their ball pressure very well either, and didn't look great
in this game. Chris paul O of two minus eleven
(39:44):
out there, part of that second unit at the end
of the third quarter that really struggled. I don't think
he's watched all of a sudden. I saw him in
the preseason. He's moving well enough. There are certain guys
that you're going to ride or die with to an extent.
(40:06):
It doesn't mean you have to play him heavy minutes,
but they have to play. Doesn't mean Bogie has to
start the next game, but he still has to play
some you're gonna hurt his confidence even more if you
just take him out of the lineup completely, and then
when you need him back, what's he gonna look like then?
I don't think you guys understand the structure of a
(40:27):
locker room or how you have to handle personalities and guys' egos,
and how difficult of a job is it to be
a head coach. Let's just start Collins right away. Hey,
Collins may start at some point, I'm all for it.
(40:49):
But four games in, if you start overreacting to bad
performances and benching guys, you're gonna losing the entire year
when you are going to need them at some point.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
So you can't afford for that to happen.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
You guys want to treat every game like it's a
must win playoff game.
Speaker 4 (41:15):
The coaching staff has.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
To actually look at things long term, over an eighty
two game season, and what's good for the health of
this team in the locker room. It's not that simple. Sure,
I expected Done to start the second half. Instead it
was Bogie. It made sense, Quinton Post was killing him,
excuse me. Instead it was Batom. It made sense to
(41:38):
put Patoma out there to start the second half of
this game. Just like it made sense to start done
the second half of last game, they started Patoomb to
guard Quentin Post. Unfortunately, he wasn't missing Will the Clippers were,
so it's not like some things weren't tried. Bogie ended
(42:00):
up playing nine minutes. Putting this game on one player
is ludicrous. I keep hearing, well, they got off to
a still start because of Bogee. Oh really, what about
the first two games of the season where he didn't
even play and they got off the slow starts, obviously
against Utah and they were also down by ten early
against Phoenix. He didn't even play in those games, and you.
Speaker 4 (42:24):
Want to scapegoat him.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
It's just weak in that respect. I'll defend him like
I defend anyone. Nobody could shoot out there. Yes, Bogie
was missing, so was everyone else. Kawhi won a four
from three, Derek Jones one of six when he had
been shooting it well. James Harden won a five, but
two one of four, Brook Lopez four, he'd.
Speaker 4 (42:48):
Been hot from three.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
John Collins O two he'd been shooting it good well,
CP three oh of one when he just knocked down
two in the fourth quarter last game. You can't just
oversimplify things like, oh, Bogie started, they got off to
a soil start because of him, and that's what they lost.
Speaker 4 (43:08):
They had plenty of chances, they were up at the half.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
And all these other guys and I just ran through
the box score with couldn't hit anything, shooting like Stormtroopers.
Somebody wants to blame Dave Roberts for this loss.
Speaker 4 (43:29):
Very rational, very logical.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
Maybe that's part of the Anks tonight too, Dodgers loss.
People are upset about that. Then the Clippers lose on
national television on NBC. That had a great intro with
Bob Costas. It felt like a playoff game, so they
built it up and the Clippers.
Speaker 4 (43:48):
By the end of the third.
Speaker 2 (43:49):
Quarter they were in deep trouble. No one is saying this.
I have actual tweets. I am retweeting at follow outam
ay that I could show you a people blaming Bogie
just go there.
Speaker 4 (44:06):
Don't tell me.
Speaker 2 (44:07):
Nobody was blaming him. Tons of people were blaming him,
blaming coach Lou.
Speaker 4 (44:16):
That's why we lost. I'll take you a quick time out.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
Clippers as a team could not shoot tonight. Ninety eight
to seventy nine was your final. They only score seventy
nine points. We're shooting night in almost four years.
Speaker 4 (44:38):
I'm out of Muslims. And this is Clippers stock on
the Patriot AMULM.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
Fifty streaming on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
This is the Los Angeles Clippers heard exclusively I'm the
LA Clippers on Network.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Clippers lose, Clipper Nations loses their mind again ninety eight
to seventy nine against the Golden State Warriors up in
northern California. Welcome back in I'm at a Moslin. Thomas
Ortega in the chat said, Adam, we aren't mad.
Speaker 4 (45:14):
At the results.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
We are mad at the process. Lou is hurting our
chances and we all see it. Shill all you want.
So we're just not going to understand a locker room dynamic,
how early it is in the season, and how you
also are going to need these guys at some point.
That's the part of the equation you're missing.
Speaker 4 (45:32):
You think it's just about winning that game that night.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
People would say this all season long with the Dodgers too,
When Dave Roberts is like, I gotta play the long game.
Coach lou is playing the long game for the better
off or better overall health, of this team to not
make knee jerk reactions all over the place and just
(45:55):
start benching guys or changing the starting lineup constantly or
pulling the trigger too soon. The hope is that this
process that they're actually using ends up leading to more
(46:15):
wins down the line, because you don't just give up
on guys that you're eventually going to need, like Bogie.
You can't treat the regular season like every game is
a Game seven, because inevitably guys are.
Speaker 4 (46:37):
Going to be out.
Speaker 2 (46:41):
And you're going to need your death and some of
these guys that you all want to give up on already.
That's how it works. Quickly, Mike and La, you're on
clipper stock without a Maslin.
Speaker 4 (46:54):
What's up, Mike?
Speaker 7 (46:56):
You know, for me, the frustration in this loss is really,
I guess left over frustration from the Utah loss. You know,
losing tonight, you know, get you miss shops if it happens.
But you know, given the context of the Utah loss,
you know, a week ago, and you know the stated
(47:17):
lead by you know, multiple members of the team to
get out to a strong start, you know, to start
the season, and we you know relative you know, softness
of the schedule if you will early in the season,
it just, you know, gets very frustrating.
Speaker 2 (47:31):
I agree they need to start at worse seven and
three their first ten games, and they're two and two.
I agree with that part, but it hasn't been ideal.
Guys have been banged up already, with one of your
starters in Bradley Beal missing. I just I don't understand,
like nine to one six, kid in here who's impersonating
me is saying, no.
Speaker 4 (47:53):
We expect better effort. It's like, what was their effort.
Speaker 2 (47:56):
Good when they held the Golden State Warriors to thirteen
points in the second core. Some people are confusing effort
with execution. I don't think the effort was that bad.
I think they miss a ton of shots. They missed
lay ups in this game.
Speaker 7 (48:13):
I just think after the UPAH lost, your margin for
error shrinks. You know for those you know first ten
games so much. You know you still have OKAC coming
up next week, and you know New Orleans on Friday.
That's never been an easy you know, I don't care
who's on New Orleans. They always play well against the
Clippers for whatever reason. You know that That's where you know,
(48:34):
for me, a lot of the you know, frustration comes that,
all right, you kind of you know, had your moment
at Utah.
Speaker 2 (48:41):
Yeah, I don't. I don't love what happened in Utah.
They also might be a better team than we expected
coming into the season. We'll see how that plays out.
I appreciate the phone call, Mike. Look, if they lose
to the Pelicans and it's some low effort game and
they're lollygagging out there and not getting back on defense
and looked disinterested, add into it dumb and you guys
(49:02):
want to hit the panic button. Then after two days
off to a Pelicans team that I don't think is
a playoff team this season at home, then okay, then
you guys have a right to be upset. Let me
know if that happens, because I think they're.
Speaker 4 (49:18):
Gonna play well on Friday Night. Let me know if
that happens.
Speaker 2 (49:22):
They get to two and three and they're not playing well,
let me know, because I think they're gonna come back
and bounce back on Friday. I mean, they held a
team to ninety eight points and lost because they couldn't
hitch us. Hey, I'm not against Collins in the starting lineup.
(49:44):
Done in the starting line up, all these things. I'm
just explaining to you the things that the coaching staff
actually has to take into account that you don't. They're
not robots. It's not plug and play. They have to
manage egos, they have to manage the locker room. And
you can't give up on guys four games in. And
I'm not giving up on this team because they're two
and two, four games in Friday night, they're tipping off
(50:07):
at seven thirty, pregame show at six thirty. Before we
get out of here, I do want to thank Carlo
Jimenez on the call, Daniel West back here in Burbank,
our producer, I'm madam Masa. We will talk to you
Friday at six thirty with your pregame show on Halloween.
And yeah, that is kind of scary taking on the
Pelicans then, but I expect a good performance.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
