The game is over, Paul George money in the pain, but the postgame reaction has just been gone. Kahi Leonard is so smooth in the mid range. This is Clippers locker Room, a recap of today's game and a look ahead on your hope for LA Clippers basketball. And now your host, you, sir, are a bad man, Adam Ousley. Clippers unfortunately make it six straight losses as they lose here in downtown Los Angeles one twelve to one O eight to the Atlanta Hawks. Welcome into your postgame show. Coming up,
we'll get to your second half high lights of postgame box scoring. You'll hear from the head coach, toron Low and the players. But first we get back to your voice of the Clippers. Noah Eagle, No, you said a postgame. Those miss threes, those wide open threes, kind of a microcosm of what this game was. The Clippers started off one of ten from distance, and they missed their last fourth reason this one that were really
good looks. Yeah, you really can't ask for much more. You know, they get open looks, you just expect them to go down, and they just haven't gone down during this sixth game, losing streak for the Clippers, and that's it's obviously tough to have to deal with that, and it's tough from a fan's perspective, from a coach's perspective, from a player's perspective, because a lot of that just comes down to are you making your shots
that make or mis league mentality? And two years ago the Clippers made just about everything they looked at and they were very successful. And last year they had a decent percentage, they were pretty successful. Well, this year they just haven't had that same touch consistently night in and night out. They've had shooting explosions. Just tonight wasn't one of them. Ten of thirty from three. It's just not gonna get it done. And on the season they average
thirty seven percent. So you figure one or two more of those go in, guess what, you win this game. And that's great, we can talk about that, and we should talk about that. I totally get it. But at the same time, Clippers had an eleven point lead in this game in the fourth quarter. Even with they're not one hundred great percent shooting defensively, you've got to lock in and we've talked about that time and time
again. Defensive mentality. They had it for most of this game. They only gave up one hundred twelve point to a team that averages one hundred and fifteen on the season. But what I'm saying is in that fourth quarter, when you need stops, you've got to find a way to get him, and they just couldn't do so today. Yeah, and some self inflicted wounds, two bad possessions, offensively offensive foul by a Vita zubots Milsa's brown misses,
both free throws. A lot of things went in Atlanta's favorite late, but also Trey Young took over. He had a big three point a counter one from Kawhi Leonard, and then down the stretch did most of the damage for the Atlanta Hawks against the Clippers. Yeah, and that's not anything to be ashamed of. Trey Young does that to every team in the NBA. This is a guy who is All NBA last year's averaging twenty seven point four points per game and ten assists this year. He's a star in the league.
And he might have some turmoil right now with the Atlanta Hawks, but he's still a star and he loves playing the villain. And you saw him right after basically bowing to the fans here, waiving them goodbye. That's what he does. He thrives in those environments. So right when he felt they had a little momentum down the stretch, he's gonna take full advantage of that, and most certainly did. Look the Clippers the biggest key in all of
this again twenty one and twenty one. It's not like this team's ten games under five hundred. Forty two games into the season, they're five hundred, so it's a fresh start. Now you've got forty games remaining here that you could do a lot of damage. And forty games obviously, let's say even if you just in those forty games, let's say they go ten games over five hundred, and those forty games, that puts them where on the season. I'm trying to do the math in my head butt with them at forty
one. No one, Yes, it's tough, right, I don't know, No, I can't do the math anyway, if they finished ten games over five hundred, I think that would be like forty six and thirty six, right, yeah, so forty six wins. I know it's not ideal of what they're looking for, but you're building a little momentum at that point, and you then look at that final twenty or that final fourt you I should say, and you're thirty. Nope, you're twenty five and fifteen in
that final forty, or maybe you can go thirty and ten. As we've talked about with those other teams, the reality of the situation is they need to learn from their mistakes. The only way they're gonna do that is if they learn from their mistakes. And that's really the troubling part to this point is that it doesn't feel like they've learned enough from the mistakes this season and
adjusted. I mean, you get a huge game from a Vizza zoobots in this one, seventeen points, eighteen boards, You get twenty nine out of Kawhi letter Terrence Man was outstanding, fourteen eight and four fifteen from Marcus Morris. I know he didn't shoot at his best and even Powell had fourteen off the bench. Will you believe you should win that game and they just couldn't figure it out because of your point self inflicted wounds towards the end of the
fourth quarter. So you have to learn from your mistakes. We'll see if the Clippers can do that. They've got a five game homestand one game down now four to go. Goals should be to win all four. Every game is winnable for this team. We talk about it all the time. They can win any game they play. So the next four games, lock in and see if you can get four and one in this five game homestand it starts Tuesday night against the Dallas Mavericks. Tip time right back here in downtown
Los Angeles at seven thirty. Well, I have Clippers countdown starting at six thirty. No Eagle, great call has always my friend. Oh, I appreciate you, and you know, I don't know.

With the Clippers down by fourteen. After a disastrous end to that second quarter where they gave up four straight in a hurry at the very end, which is some sloppy, careless play, they came out in the third
and looked focus. They won that quarter thirty five to nineteen. Marcus Morris had eleven points, Kawhi Leonard had eight points. A Visa Zubots had six points and five boards in the quarter. Terrence Man was everywhere. Nicholas Batoum had a fine defensive play against Trey Young, who looked to have an open fast break layup, and they were leading going into the fourth eighty seven to
eighty five. We've seen this before though, with these Clippers comebacks this season, they come up short, and even with an eleven point lead about midway through that fourth quarter, they weren't able to hold on. As Trey young erupted. He had thirteen of his thirty in the last seven minutes of the fourth quarter, and the Clippers just didn't have enough and couldn't hit an open three late. They missed their last four threes after starting off this game one
for ten. Apparently that was a sign of things to come, because they went oha four and their last four three pointers and they were wide open good looks. Nick Batoum had one, Kawai had one, Norm had one of Marcus Morris had one but couldn't get it to go late that would have gave them a one point lead. Instead, they lose by four one twelve to one oh eight to the Atlanta Hawks. Coming up next, looking for postgame

to lose by four here at home to the Atlanta Hawks. Final score Hawks one twelve, Your Clippers one oh eight and the losing streak is now at six. For your Los Angeles Clippers who are looking for answers, welcome in to Clipper Stock. I'm Adam Aslin. Eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. You can also get to me on Twitter at follow Adam A coming up. We'll have William Updyke from Clips and Dip on. We'll get to your
phone calls. You'll hear from Coach Low, who's at the podium right now. But this was a game where you know, we go back to Thursday night and we thought that was rock bottom with the way they performed against the Denver Nuggets, and we thought they had a bounce back opportunity against Minnesota and certainly back home in their safe haven, we thought they could get off to a good start to this five game homestand and we talked about how important it
would be. But the Clippers, after leading by eight in the first quarter, they kind of took their hands off the wheel a little bit. They were up sixteen to eight, and somehow after one and getting off to a quick start, they're only leading by one point. Twenty six, twenty five, and they started cold from the outside. They were one of ten from three. But there was effort, there was hustled, there was defense.
Terrence Mann into that starting lineup worked, he had himself a game. I thought that was a great move from coach Low Noah Eagle n I just heard him off. Mike just put the endorsement on it. It was And he's out late in the fourth quarter because he played extended minutes all the third quarter,
I believe, the first half of the fourth. So that's starting lineup that I think really had some good moments, especially in the third quarter, where this Clippers team, you can say it started in the first quarter. You can say they lost the game at the end of the second quarter with just some disastrous place and I said that was a disaster on Twitter. I had to call it out. What happened at the end of that second quarter
was just brutal. I mean, you have a switch where Kawhi Leonard is on Trey Young and instead they get the switch so it's Marcus Morris, but Kawhi was still shaded over his way to end the second and Trey finds John Collins for just a wide open alleyup and then there's a bad pass from John Wall in the entry pass and it ends up being a big throwdown I believe by DeAndre Hunter. It goes from a ten point lead to fourteen about three
seconds. Just careless plays, sloppy plays, and we've seen it all season long. The turnover number tonight isn't eye popping. It's at eleven. If you average eleven turnovers, you'd lead the league in limiting costly mistakes. But when they came for the Clippers, they were devastating and that was a moment right there. But they still found a way to rally in that third quarter after losing the second quarter and giving up forty one points where their defense look
lifeless out there once again. And second quarters have been an issue for this team all season long. They get outscored by fifteen in the second, but they come back in that third quarter and win it thirty five to nineteen. Kawhi was aggressive. He had eight points. Marcus Morris, who started zero four from the outside, knocked down three three pointers. He had eleven in the third of Visa Zubots, who had a great game. I thought overall,
my player to watch had seventeen and eighteen. Just in the third he had six and five. Nicholas Batoum made an outstanding defensive play when it looked like Trey Young was gonna have a run out for an easy lay up, and he chased him down and redirected the shot, and the Clippers led by two. Heading into the fourth. It was eighty seventy eighty five and looked
to be in control of the ball game. And we're doing so even without Kawhi to start the fourth quarter after he had already played up to thirty one minutes. Norman Powell was in there, John Wall hit a big three pointer, Terrence Mann took one coast to coast and got the and one. Moses Brown had multiple dunks off of great feeds from John Wall, and the Clippers
absolutely looked to be in control of the ball game. Kawhi comes back in first thing he does, hits a three, and there are up one two to ninety one, was six forty five left, and then things just absolutely turned back in the favor of the Atlanta Hawks, who closed out the game on a twenty one to six run, and a lot of those twenty one
points were from Trey Young, leave thirteen of them. He countered with a three after Kawhi hit that one to put him up by eleven, got to the free throw line and then just went float goat with it, multiple floaters down the stretch. After Kawai tied the game back up with forty three seconds left at one oho eight, Trey Young hit another one, and the Clippers and maybe we should have seen it coming. I'm gonna start to the game
from three, but they had multiple good looks from distance Kauai. Then Marcus Morris, who lost his man relocated reset, had all data, put up that three pointer and missed it. After just hitting three and some big momentum shots in that third quarter, and even before that, I thought there was good process with the offense, with Kawhi Leonard getting into the paint over and over again. He had a kickout to Nicholas Patoon wide open, couldn't get
it to go. Another kickout from Kawai ended up with Norman Powell on the far side for a corner of three, wide open, couldn't get it to go. They missed their last four three pointers. They started the game one for ten. They missed their last four and they were open good looks and the Clippers now lost sixth straight and are searching for answers as his Clipper nation right now. This is a cheap team with championship aspirations focused on the Larry
O. B And I'll give you the standings update. It's not pretty coming up, but losing to a Hawks team that was giving up one hundred and twenty one points at their last eight games were just like the Clippers. They had lost six of eight. Something had to give in this one. Both teams looked desperate for a victory, but Atlanta was just the better team late and they got Clippers got out executed, and Strey Young turned it on.
Not only were they given up one hundred and twenty one points per game, well round up and go once twenty two teams were shooting forty nine percent against them, the Clippers under forty percent at thirty nine percent, and that ten to thirty number from the outside and those threes that were miss late just killed him backbreaking missus that they had to have where they could have had a little more cushion before getting to a point where all of a sudden it was a
tie game once again after being up eleven. There were a couple other offensive possessions there. Kawhi Leonard took a tough jumper, but it's Kawai tough to fault that. Norm had a shot blocked of Itza Zoobas had an offensive foul. Really one of the few plays that he didn't make after having a really
good bounce back performance after not looking like himself recently. Those seventeen and eighteen boards seventeen points eighteen boards for boards for Big Zoo, But Clippers Good couldn't get the stops when they needed to late Atlanta outscores them twenty seven O twenty one. Couldn't make the shots, couldn't get the stops. Formula for disaster, and that's what leads to them losing. They're sixth straight by four points. When they led by eleven, was six forty five left in the fourth
quarter. Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety seven two five seventy is the phone number, Lenny in Inglewood. We couldn't get to you on Friday. Lenny, You're on Clippers stop without amasson. Hey, what's up at him? Bill Man? At this point they need to seriously think about maybe just scrapping what they got well pulling the major trade.
Because if you think there's no team in history, man that's lost six games and gone on to winning, saying, you can't point to a team that's ever done that. Once again, I'm not saying that it's impossible, but man, this this, this is this is a joke. This is a joke. Grown. I mean, you know, these Cats are just aren't playing. When I said at the beginning of the year something was missing, everybody's saying it's too early, it's too early. You know some of
the mysteries. Cats band were old but won the third oldest team in the league. And usually the first thing to go with the old team is their defense because they don't feel like Jason young dudes around. They'll sit, they'll sit in the corner and knock down knocked down the threes. And I like Morris, but man, we don't have we don't have fast feat forwards,
man. And it's a problem. And like I said, if the Balmber doesn't address it, it's gonna be embarrassing when he opens up at that new stadium because I don't I don't see how he's gonna be able to sell half defeats. This This is this is supposed to be our year, bro, It is supposed to be our year. The Lakers won five in a row without Aunt, without Anthony Davis, and we're going they just eat this Hawks team by twenty If you if you want to compare right now and when it
reigns, it wars. If you're a Clippers fan, you don't like seeing the Lakers on a winning streak while you're on a losing streak like this, even though the Clippers have dominated them for Yeah, I understand the frustration. I think you echo the sentiments of much of Clipper Nation right now, Lenny. It's hard to push back against a lot of that talk. I appreciate
the phone call. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the full number, the best I can give you right now. Boston Celtics were in the same spot last season at twenty one and twenty one, and they were the best team the second half of the season, and they turn things around. Doesn't guarantee anything for
the Clippers, just tells you it can be done. Teams like the Pelicans got off to really slow starts and then they were one of the better teams
in the second half last year. Same with the Dallas Mavericks, who the Clippers will see on Tuesday Night. But the expectations for this team obviously as one of the favorites coming into this season, if not the favorite, and it's insult to injury, and it just stings even more because you see the Western Conference, you see how wide open it is, and the Clippers could be the cream of the crop, but they haven't been able to take advantage
of the West being down, or being each other up, or there's been a lot of injuries throughout the Western Conference. It's not just the Clippers. Look at Devin Booker being out for Phoenix. Look at Steph Curry being out for the Golden State Warriors, and that team has kind of rallied around it. No Paul George tonight, Yes, no Luke Canard. That's huge. But Atlanta was reeling. This team looked like it was teetering on the verge of a huge blow up, and I think there was a chance to break
their spirit early on. Clippers didn't seize that opportunity. They're up sixteen to eight, and they just weren't able to put together enough good possessions on either end, and that has been the story. Even defensively. Now they're not the same team that they were throughout most of this season. One twelve isn't an awful number, but the Hawks shot fifty percent, and as good as the Clippers were in the third quarter, they couldn't get stops the last six
minutes when they had to. They fall by four at one twelve to one oh eight. Before we take a break, let's pause ten seconds for station identification. Here on the M five seventy l A Sports, this is LA Clippers Basketball A five seventy KLAC Los Angeles eight seven KYSR HD two Los Angeles and iHeart Radio station coming up next, more of your phone calls eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five
seventy You hope this is the low point of the season. I thought it was Thursday night. We thought it was Friday night. The hits keep on coming, right now, When are the Clippers going to hit back? Is it going to start Tuesday night against Dallas? Certainly a team they know very well. We'll update you on the status of Luca Donchers. By the way, for that game. But right now, Clippers trying to find themselves. That's our identity this season. Not sure they produced one at this point.
Thought it was a great defensive team. Well they've slipped greatly on that end now, so a lot of holes. It's whacker ball. You fix one thing, something else arises. Looked like they were playing better offensively during that stretch on the road, but defensively they gave. They were giving up points left and right. More clipperstock. Next here on a m by seventy l A Sports to let me call you the ball there was blocked by George.
This is LA Clippers basketball. He is a one man ricket crawl and defensive man on the home of your LA Clippers on these dreams? What all happen to me? Will I Bernard? Have I been wrong? What does it mean? All these days? Getting unders there? We're like the number six Clippers have last sixth straight. They lose one twelve to one O eight Aaron
Downtown Los Angeles to the Atlanta Hawks. Welcome back into Clipper stock. I'm out of bosslons eight six six ninety seven two five seventy eight sixty six ninety seven two five seventy is the phone number coming up. We're gonna hear from Coach Lou. We'll get to William Updyke from Clips and Dip. But let's go back out to the phone lines and get to Michael in La Michael, you're on clipper Stock. Hey, Adam, how are you? I'll do it all right, gonna do a live show here from downtown Los Angeles.
I can't complain too much. I'm at a point and I can tell you I've been a the first fan since the nineteen nineties. The first game I ever went to Doctor Reverse with the backup point guard to Gary Grant, who was that ninety two, Yeah, ninety two, the Danny Manning Ron Harper
Arrow. But I'm at a point where now I just want us to have, you know, I, in an ideal world, we get the number two pick, and okay, you would get the number one pick, so they don't, you know, pig slop, and that may wind up being the best outcome from this season because this is just depressing. Well, that idea is certainly depressing. I'm with you on that. For things to fall
apart that much, Michael. As I mentioned before, teams have pulled out of tailspins like this and have gone on to winning streaks, and it's more than possible because the talent is there. We know this. Whether or not they're going to play the right way, or play consistently enough and really apply the principles that coach lew was looking for, I'm not sure because we haven't seen any consistency. They have been consistently inconsistent. It's an annoying a little
saying, but it's the truth. With this Clippers team, some of it is understandable due to continuity. But they're now eleven and seven with Kauai and I believe he's played I want to say fifteen to the last nineteen games or fifteen to the last eighteen games. You know, they've been closer to hole and I appreciate the phone call, Michael than they were earlier in the year when they were playing better defense, and I know some of that defensive rating.
We expected a little bit of slippage because strength of schedule. They had one of the easiest schedules, now one of the hardest schedules. The Atlanta Hawks were not a part of those elite teams that they have coming up, and they're gonna face we weren't counting on that loss. Weren't counting on Atlanta
playing better and out at executing. The Clippers stay on the stretch of a game where Trey Young as fourteen of his thirty in the fourth, and he can do that, but when you're up eleven with under seven minutes left, you gotta close that game out. Kawhi was on the floor Foard. He tied the game at one oh eight, but Trey Young answered and the Clippers went for a three pointer. And I don't mind the plays are going for a three down two because they got good looks. They have to hit those
shots. That's part of their offensive identity that we know, drive kicks, swing and if you generate an open look and Marcus Morris has that shot coming off the third quarter he had, you think it would go down. Kawhi Leonard had a good look at the three two. So the shots were there, But should shouldn't have come down to that is the question when you're up eleven, and they had some really bad possessions midway through the fourth that I
already discussed in the first segment. I don't want to relive them. Let's go out to let's see Eddie in Whittier, Eddie, what's up here? On Clippers? Stop with at him Austin, Hey, what's up Adam? Quick question? Number one six game losing streak? Is this the longest in the two one three era? You know, the Kawai Paul Georgi era. And then my second piece is, you know we have the talent, but do we just not have the right conductor, you know, meaning the coach.
I know you've seen him do well before, but is it just burnout of coaching? You know, we see that sometimes with with players and coaches. It's just you know, I mean, you see here three. I would hope it's not burnout. And I have faith in his philosophies and his strategies and the way he can push the right buttons. We saw it in Cleveland, We saw it with the Clippers in the playoffs two years ago. Right now on the regular season, obviously things aren't jail and things aren't working.
I think there's just a lot of moving parts right now that has led to the Clippers not develop any any sense of consistency whatsoever, a semblance of consistency. It's been a brutal stretch and I think I'm guessing this would be the longest losing street with the two on three connection. I'll have to look that up. I'm not positive on it. Obviously. Last year Kawhi Leonard was out all season, and they've had some other periods certainly where Kawhi and
Paul Georgeman out for long stretches. So I'll try to find that out. But either way, it's it feels, I'm sure for Clipper Nation right now. Unacceptable for a team with championship goals. Let's go to and I appreciate the phone call Eddie Todd in Englewood. Todd, you're on Clippers stop without them all. Hey, Adam, I just have one question. I kind of want to know if you think that Marcus Morris Hello, went a little
closer on that last shot to spend it over time. I appreciate the phone call, Todd young Man, good question it is, but I would lean towards the side that I was just talking about. If you haven't open three like that wide open, and that means a guy that's not even within six feet of him because he lost his defender relocated. Reset had old day to think about it, and sometimes you know players, players may overthink it in
situations like that. But we've seen Marcus come through and clutch spots for this Clippers team. The seven three pointers he had in Game seven against Dallas a couple of years ago come to mind. He wants those shots and I'm sure he wants that one back. And I don't know if you can ask for
a much better look than that. You drive towards the basket. Well, they had more guys in the paint waiting for him than we're out there on the perimeter where he has been able to do damage and just lit them up in that third quarter with eleven points, Clippers fall one twelve to one ZHO eight. Still looking for coach slew postgame audio, I believe, but we can go to Damien in La here, Damien, what's up? Hey, triple A oh Man, tough loss, bro tough law. Thanks for having
me. Though, I guess the biggest thing and we just talked about it. I was really, really, really and I'm gonna use a big word here, I would be fuddled, okay, by we had six minutes left in the quarter. In the fourth quarter, we're in the penalty and you know, we're still looking for perimeter buckets that kind of rubbed me the wrong way a little bit, you know, and then the other thing was on a positive note. I really felt like Parent's Man had a positive game starting,
and so piggyback off of a prior conversation that we had. I would really love to see if parents Man could have spinned into a more of a leadership role like we talked about with the tomb. I would like to see Batum, you know, hand that torchhop to him and have a young guy be the spirit of this team. What do you think? No, I think Terrence Man. You know, he is twenty six years of age and I think has one of the higher basketball iqes in the league. Smart player.
That's why they let him guard multiple positions, learn multiple positions at times. I think it led to him not playing as well out there because he couldn't focus in on one thing early this season, early last season, when he's just being instinctual and he knows his role a little bit more, it's a little more defined. That's better for him. But I think guys follow what Terrence Man says. I just at this point in his career, like
you have Kawai Paul George Nicholas Batoum. You have veterans there and Marcus Morris who are leaders. I think Terrence and his time will come, but I certainly don't think you know, guys would scoff at anything he said. They'd taken a heart because Terrence has come up big for this team over the years, the Game six performance against the Utah Jazz. He's played big in big moments, and I loved how he looked out there today in the starting lineup.
You know, remember who his guy is, you know who his guy growing up was. We had a Cardo, all of those Rondo right, Hey, Rondo was a puppy, you know when they won the championship, but they allowed him to mature into that role of being a leader on the floor. And I see a lot of that in, you know, in
our guy man. You know, I see that he's taken a lot of the notes from guys like Patrick Beverley, from guys like Rondo, and you're seeing him, you know, put this into something that is completely different and maybe completely better. The other thing that I want to say is about John wall thought he had a better game today. I would love to see him more in the fashion of, you know, kind of taking the breaks off
of him a little bit more. Sometimes I feel like we just really need to let him eat and letting him get on his you know, lou Will Jamal Crawford and just do what he does out there. Yeah, but you know what, this isn't a team that necessarily needs a guy that is a streaky score like that. They have great shooters. They have a lot of consistent, efficient guys. John Wall at his best is getting downhill, finding Moses Brown like he did in this game and has at times this season,
and making plays for others and then picking his spots carefully. I think he did a very good job of that. I feel like over the last week and a half or so he's been much better in those areas. And I thought he had a pretty solid game after a really solid first half Friday night in Minnesota. So I just don't know if you need that from him to him to put up twelve shots or fifteen shots, or give him a green light or anything like that. Sometimes I just want him to feel comfortable,
and sometimes I wonder about his comfort level offensively out there. I see him giving a lot of efforts, you know, on the defensive kind, and I applaud that because you know, the question mark for a lot of people for John walk coming over. But you know, I just want him to see what we can do to try to make him feel a little bit comfortable, and I wonder if he's feeling hamfort It's just, you know, I
don't really worry about the guys too much. I just want everybody to settle into their roles and really, you know, kind of put that championship hat on, and I feel like we've been underdogged so long. You know, it's time to step up the level of intensity and really know that there's nobody that can hold it. We play with people, and we don't need to let seems like Atlanta play with us. You know, thanks for the call I had him. I've great to see you to night. Man, have
a great night. Good to see you too. Appreciate the phone call, Damian. We'll take a quick time out here on Clippers talk and to his point about Clippers not getting into the line late. You know, Norman Powell had a tough game. He was three of thirteen for his fourteen points and had a shot blocked late in the fourth quarter on big possession and not having
Terren's man out there because he had played heavy minutes. I think he played the entire third quarter and then the first five or six minutes of the fourth quarter. They could have used him, but they need him in the third
to get back into the ball game. So not easy decisions to make, but I really think coach Lew may have found something here with him in the starting lineup, because if you want drive, kick swing, that is a guy who gets into the paint and can create havoc a little bit and puts pressure on the rim and also has turned into a pretty darn good passer that can find the open man when the defense converges on him. Clippers lose though, one twelve to one, O eight to the Atlanta Hawks. They're six
straight loss. More coming up and we'll talk with William Updyke from Clips and Dip next. You're on a five seventy only sports. Give me my mind back, Yeah, give me my mind back, the one that told me I was worth something when I fall flat? Yeah, fall flat? Oh. Paul George La Clippers Basketball continue as in his pains as he carries the three on the home of your LA Clippers. Last time that I check its five chains on my neck. It was no smut on my bread last time
that I Clippers lose their sixth straight game. This time Cleo Atlanta Hawks. What's fourteen? Excuse me? One twelve, one oh eight. You're in downtown Los Angeles. They lose by four after leading by eleven under seven minutes left. Welcome back into Clippers stock. I'm in. I'm oslin eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. We'll get back to your phone calls in just
a moment. But first, William up from Clips and Dip is joining us, does the podcast with myself and Charles Mackler. Will Obviously you can say, well, given up an eleven point lead is where the game was lost. But obviously the Clippers were also down by fourteen and a half. They weren't playing good basketball, and they haven't been consistent all season long, and it's getting harder and harder to pinpoint the reason for some of these losses and
why they can't put it together quarter to quarter. How do you see it? I mean, I just feel like we're still falling in some of the same mistakes. We still saw three gods line up in this game, although we did move away from it, like I did like the adjustment at the third quarter and in the second half. But I just don't know what to say. I mean, the offense is still stagnant. It's still bad.
And the thing that that's really frustrating is when the offense isn't working, it seems like the defense takes a break and the offense it isn't working a lot. So I just don't look, I don't know what to do with this. I feel like I've been pretty upbeat through even the last few losses. But what's the statistic. No team has ever won, No team that's gone on a seven game or more losing street has ever won an NBA championship.
That's a tough one. Well, they're at six right now. I like your point though, regarding you know, letting them their maker misses affect their defense. That didn't happen as much early in the season when they seem to be much more locked in and energized on the defensive end. And I think there is something too that what just can't happen at the midway point of the season anymore, Like these are mistakes that should have been cleaned up the good
process or the steps you have to take to becoming a champion. You would think some of that stuff, you know, we wouldn't be seeing this late into the season anymore. But I also like the move of Terrence Man into the starting lineup. You brought up three guard lineups, and Reggie Jackson doesn't end up getting back into the game in the second half, and I know that's tough for him. Obviously, he was a guy who when he was
available, started the last one hundred and thirty games with the Clippers. But he's a team player. I'm not concerned about that. But I think this could be something moving forward with Terrence Man because it just makes sense to have somebody in the game early on that can get to the rim, that can get into the teeth of the defense, and that's really how their attack starts.
Yeah. No, I like the adjustment and then Karen's you know, he brings the energy on both ends of the floor, which is great to see. Yeah, it's just it's just hard to watch these games slip away and just continue to watch this offense like really stagnate. I just don't know, I just don't know. Now, I mean, I think coming into
this season. On the podcast, Clipps and Dip all three of us were like, there's no roster move that need to be made, and now I feel like maybe the Clippers need to get in the bow Yon sweet Steaks. I don't know, something needs to happen, and I feel like, you
know, if the in game play adjustments haven't haven't happened thus far. I mean, I know the sample size is still small with Kwai and Paul George, but man, I think that if you're in the front office or the coaching staff, like you gotta be scratching your head at this point and saying, man, when are we going to turn a corner? Because you know, you and I have talked about the Boston Celtics and how they started last season where they ended up, but pre All Star Break, when that ended,
they were still eighteenth in offense and second in defense. Clippers have slipped out of the top five defensively and they are still a bottom three team offensively. And man, from what I saw tonight, what was the There's a five minute stretch where they got outscored seventeen to four, Like it is looking a little bleak to me right now. Yeah, And I do like the comparison, but I stand when people pushed back and say, well, well,
Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum. You know those guys are playing back to backs and right now Kawhi Leonard his right knee, he's not in a position to do that. But this team does still have so much talent. Would I be shocked if they made a move, if they consolidated some of the talent. Now, we talked about that a little bit before the season started. People were wondering, how are you gonna get minutes for everyone? And we know with this front office they make big, bold moves, so you
know what's on the table with this group. But and just speaking to the guys who are here right now, you know, I'm looking for positives tonight. Maybe it's just because he was my player to watch, but I thought of Visa Zubots was awesome. Outside that offensive foul, he was pretty close to a flawless ball game. He had seventeen and eighteen and was once again making a smaller team page just like he did in Toronto. Well in an incredible bounce back game. Right, Like you know we've talked about, he
hasn't quite looked right on the floor for for stretches of time. But a seventeen and eighteen performance, that's a great time. That's a great takeaway. I still don't know about Moses Brown getting more minutes than Robert Covington, who's got a D and P again, But Zoo definitely trending back upwards, you know. But too, I thought overall was solid. The shooting just wasn't there. But those are shots that he normally makes. Those were a lot
of great books. Him going one for five, you know, it definitely hurt us, but that's not you know, that's not a constant. That's not something that you can count on. I mean him and Morris from three combined to shoot like twenty five percent, and that's you know, like that's one of those things that those were good looks. That was some good process there, that was moving the ball around. That was something I could see
improving things. It's just, you know, unfortunately they weren't rewarded for those efforts. Tonight, Clippers lose one twelve to one oho eight at home to the Atlanta Hawks. So we've talked about rock bottom going back to Thursday night when they were down by forty three to the Denver Nuggets. Now, the
good news is you can say at least they are at home. They're not traveling, They're not being in eight different cities and eight different days or whatever it was in fifteen days, and that wear and tear is not going to be there. But how much do you put into this game now, Tuesday night against the Dallas Mavericks. How do you view this because obviously it's not technically at must win contest, but it's about as important as a game gets
midway through the season. I mean, no regular season game, I guess is a must win game. But yeah, you're right, this is about as close as it gets. I mean, five game homestand you've already dropped one. I mean you gotta come out at the very worst three and two of this, right, like you know, if you're hoping to get your season back on track. They're now they're now playing five hundred ball essentially. Like I mean, no regular season game can be a must win, but
this is as darn close as it could possibly get for the Clippers. He is William Updyke from Clips and Dip does it with Charles Mockler and myself. I'm assuming we'll have a tripod coming up tomorrow night. Will thanks for doing this a little clips and double dip tonight here on Clippers Talk. My friend absolutely starting to be a little rainy it. Things will trend up though,
no doubt. And they have an opportunity here on this homestand look, they take out Dallas Tuesday night, you get two days off to prepare for the Denver Nuggets, who you know they'll be out for revenge against and they want to make a statement last Thursday night. They'll have a chance to redeem themselves on Friday. But first things first, they take on the Dallas Mavericks coming
up next. We will have postgame audio from coach Lou Will close things out with that here on Clippers Stock on AM five seventy Sports, being clicking with Chef Curry with the pot, but it was blocked by George This La Clippers basketball. He is a one man record crawl and defensive man. On the home of your LA Clippers, the black Man not to put her Downtown, LA to the Atlanta Hawk's. Welcome back into your postgame show. This is
Clippers Talk. I'm out of Boslin. Clipper's next contest coming up Tuesday night tip time is that seven thirty Clippers countdown your pregame show at six thirty. Let's hear though from the head coach to Ron Loeu after this one it's in the final six or so? What happened that he kind of got loose on you guys? I thought he got downhill. We picked him up trying to pick him up the worrying down but picked him up a little too high and he was able to get down hill and get into the paint and kind of
call some havoc. But I mean, you know, he's a great player, so you know he's gonna make some plays, and you know that's what he did down the stretch. You guys try a new starting lineup today? What did you like what you saw to that? And is that something you can see for the first evil future until you get Yeah, I liked it, you know, I thought, you know, just defensively, I think defensively were really good. Just still you know, learn how to play with
teammate at the point guard position. But you know, PG gets back you can help with that as well, you know, But I thought overall it was pretty good. You know, just if you're going to close games like that, just getting better with just trying to close games and making sure we get quit of ball in spots. But overall defensively with that union, I thought it was really good and some things we just gotta keep working on.
When it came to closing the game, like second half of that fourth quarter, after having a living point lead, do you feel like the offense really need to do better in order to maintain that lead. I thought we got some decent shots, but then we had some turnovers too. We have some turnovers that led the easy baskets for those guys, and then we had a couple of them block at the riom that led to you know, it's basically like a turnover, and they got out in transition got some easy baskets.
Like I said, we we we scrapped, we competed, We had opportunities, you know, I think up nine, had you know, missed three free throws in a row, we had a chance to you know, go up seven or whatever. We had turned the ball over. So we did some good things to get back in the game after being down. And I
liked our fight tonight. You know, I thought we did play hard, you know, for the for the whole forty eight manus defensively, you know, they they got some good players over there, but some things you got to keep working on. But I did like what I see to what I saw tonight, tie after and not like this losing the league like you guys did. What's what's the mood in the locker room right now? I don't
know yet. Is there I guess, for lack of better phrase, is there is there a somewhat of a worry in a six game loser trick that you can lose some guys in the locker room trying to figure things out and stuff like that. No, I don't think so. I mean, we had professionals over in the locker room and you know, just test your character and test who you are, you know, as as a person and as
a basketball player. And so I'm pretty sure everyone at locker would been through some worse things in this, you know, And so tonight was encouraging for me. You know, I know Atland has been struggling, but they asked some you know, some really good players over there, and but seeing what we did tonight, you know, I was encouraged. The second half. You know, you went away with that from that three guard lineup that you had in the first half. Is that playing those three guards together, that's
something you feel like it's it's kind of over at this point. It's a large Yeah, we're just gonna you know, experiment with different guys. But I think the three guard rotation, you know, not their fault, but it's just it's tough for us defensively to get stops, you know, you know, every night, and so you know, we just just gonna see it, just continue to keep playing with it and just kind of go from there. Obviously it's a night when and Luke isn't available because of injury.
When he comes back, you know, you have a log jam, a guard. What do you see that shake up, that lineup, that rotation is shaking out. Yeah, we have a plan in place, but until Luke gets healthy, we won't see it yet. Brought up a couple of the turnovers late. Nicholas Batoum was looking for Kauai, threw it into the back court. Jandre Hunter gets the easy two points. Marcus Morris had one late as well. So things we've seen this season coming back to haunt the
Clippers. Late in the ball game. They go ice cold from three, They have some bad turnovers, they lose by four, what's end? What's the positivity? Though? It' to night Morrison, long beach, Morris here on Clipper stock with that, I'm awful, you know, Adam, I'm a tough loss. They they're all tough losses. But I'm gonna tell you something. The playoffs have already started for us. The playoffs have already started
for us. I'm gonna tell you something. The team needs a shock, some kind of shock, and you know, we try to keep it property of Adam. I'm gonna tell you, but you know what, I think the coach should go before the players will because on paper, these guys should be doing better. And I love my boys. I love my boys. I don't care what's going on, but the fact of the matter is on
paper they should be doing a lot better. And if we're gonna hold somebody responsible, you know, you always talk with the CEO, and I mister Bamber with the coach. So to see what's happening with Dallas in the on Tuesday. But don't be shocked, man. If the trip Clippers and the ownership do something to shock this team, because seventh place in the West, it's not what they was talking about doing. This year, Adam, so I love you, Adam one on Tuesday, thanks for the phone call.
Well, I have the utmost faith and coach Lou big picture long term with this team. I think he's the right guy. Appreciate the phone called up. Morris. All right, Jose and Southgate, you will close things out with positivity, yes, Adam, you know, like Morris said, those are the boys and I even though we're on a six game Lucy Street, I remember how nice we were looking when you know, when we were winning, So I'm not concerned too much. You know, these next two games
he could be good wins. I'll forget about these these last YIX glosses. Adam. It was good at seeing you today and Noah, that gave me my something to talk about because you know the game. But besides that, Adam, let's go Clippers. Jose, thank you for the phone call. A good way to close things out tonight here on Clippers Stock.
