have a moment, let's pause ten seconds for station identification. Here on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network, this is LA Clippers Basketball AM five to seventy KLAC Los Angeles, ninety eight seven KYSR HD two Los Angeles and iheartrate yo station. Let's get back out to Toronto with your radio voice of the Clippers in Carlo Jimenez. Another efficient game even with the Clippers going just nine to thirty two from the outside Carlo, they still shoot almost fifty one percent from
the field. I mean, how many times, Adam, can you shoot under thirty percent and win by twenty. It just shows how good this Clipper team is. They don't rely on one way to score the basketball, on one way to get it done on the offensive end. They just have a multitude of ways to get it done. And they showed that tonight with the way they played. I mean the scoring, the box score shows it. You had three different guy that scored twenty points. You had six different players
scored ten or more. The Clippers got production from everywhere. It was a fun game to watch because it was a balanced, focused attack for the most part for this Clipper team, despite the turnovers, and they took care of business here at home. Here on the road, they got a twenty point win. Kawhi Leonard sat the fourth great all around performance with the Clippers. James Harden gets his first triple double as a Clipper, which twenty two to
ten boards and thirteen assists to one turnover. Well, the Clippers and the Raptors did make them pay for each and every turnover. They had they limited them enough and were able to hold the Raptors at Bay. Yeah, they were, and the Raptors cut it. I think within eleven was the closest
in that second half. But for the most part, the Clippers were able to hold Serve despite the sixteen seconds standard points in the eighteen points off turnovers for Toronto, the Clippers did a good job of making sure those didn't fight them late in the ball game and take care of business. How about the seventy points in the paint at them? I mean his team with out of eats Zubats has somehow become a better team in the paint. Maybe not defensively,
but offensively They're unbelievable. I like the reaction from Big Plumb post game with you in his twenty five minutes twelve and twelve. What a bounce back performance after he and Daniel Tice struggled on Tuesday against the Lakers and going up against a smaller team in Toronto. Wasn't sure what to expect from their bigs. They more than held their own. Yeah percent, and you heard Mason say he needed that bounce back performance. He got it and hopefully that carryes
in it tomorrow. He was excellent from the Clippers double double in that starting laeup first one as a starter for him and Adam. I just love his poise around the rim. Feels like he's never super rushed. It feels like he's always in the dunker spot where his teammates can find it with an opportunity to throw it up. I mean, how many dunks did he have today? And how about the reverse tongue from a big plumb. He's Clippers big
man man with James Harden is your point guard. Seems like an awfully fund joob to be that pick and roll partner and the Clippers taking advantage of it once again, Tyson plumpy with a nice outer. Clippers win once twenty seven to one oh seven up in Toronto over the Raptors. Is the first night of a back to back. They'll be in Boston tomorrow. Tip off is at four. Well, have your pregame show starting at three, Carlo Jimenez. Great call of zolais catch that bird, safe travels. We'll talk to
you tomorrow. Talk to you tomorrow, Adam who It's time to enter the drag. See if the Clippers can get done. We'll be taking on the best team in the NBA record wise in the Boston Celtics, who have lost just once at home, Clippers win by twenty over the Raptors. Final box score next right here on the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network. Every Clipper game all season, law they didn't stop playing hard. You're listening to the LA
Clippers Audio Network streaming on the iHeartRadio app. Pick your poison when you're going up against these Clippers. They put up one hundred and twenty seven points and win by twenty in Toronto over the Raptors in game one of the seven game Grammy Road Trip. Welcome back into your postgame show. I'm Adam oslind If you'd like to get on early for Clippers talk. Eight six six ninety seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone
number. Talked about it with Carlo Jimenez post game. The Clippers with seventy points in the paint after they had sixty eight against the Lakers on Tuesday night. Last two games, one hundred and thirty eight points in the paint for the Clippers hasn't always been their strength, really hasn't been. In the two
pine three era. But this team is getting downhill. They are attacking, they are being aggressive, and on a night where they're just nine of thirty two from the outside, they still shot fifty two percent from the field and they got easy buckets at the basket. Love seeing them just fully focused on putting pressure on the rim. That's another way to beat up on teams. The Clippers have the guys who are capable. I thought Paul George and Kawhi
Leonard attacked Anthony Davis Tuesday night tonight against a smaller Toronto Raptors team. You gotta take advantage of their lack of size. Now, the Raptors did have sixty six points in the paint themselves. The Clippers could be better, but defense around the rim, it's just not gonna be the same with out of
each Zubats, there's no way to replicate what he does. He's top three when it comes to rim protection in the league, and he's been like this since he's been a Clipper, even going back to his Lakers name days. We don't like to talk about that, but I do like to bring up how they got him for Mike Muscala, Clipper legend, Mike Muscala by the way, So the absence of Big Zoo, his presence of the paint felt. But the Clippers, they made the Toronto Raptors, I have to feel
what they have with just their downhill rim attack and playing with force. Clippers ended up with eleven turnovers leading to nineteen points. That eleven number is good. The nineteen is not. That means their transition defense is still suffering. Now, It's a good thing they only had eleven turnovers total because the Raptors were converting each and every time down Raptors with eleven turnovers themselves and the Clippers
turned that into eighteen points. Good number for them. We'll hear from James Harden by the way postgame coming up, as he had a triple double, his first as a Clipper, the se seventy fifth triple double of his career. James hard with twenty two to ten, thirteen assists to one turnover, unbelievable. Russell Westbrook off the bench twenty five minutes, twenty points, seven to fourteen shooting. After missing his first layup, he started to get them
to go. Also knocked down a couple of three pointers, had three assists, five boards, three offensive rebounds, had a tip in off of his own miss. Extreme hustle and heart from Russell Westbrook. And how about Norman Powell, the closer. He had eight points entering the fourth, wasn't shooting it well. Then he goes four of five and has nine points in the final period and the kill shot a big three pointer and then the steal leading
to a dunk. My player to watch. It wasn't just Kawhi going up against his former team, but it was also Norman Powell finished six of thirteen teen, two of seven from the outside, seventeen points, but he yelped put this one away when the Clippers were having trouble landing that knockout punch. It was Norman Powell who would complete this win as the Clippers go into Toronto on the front end of a back to back and win one twenty seven to
one oh seven over the Raptors coming up next. More on this final box score, plus weive Clippers Talk eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy Clippers in Boston tomorrow playing the best team in the league. I'd say that even if they didn't have the best record, that's how good they have looked. We'll update you and Chris DAPs Porzingis and his health as he got banged up yesterday in Miami. Kawhi
Leonard not having to play in the fourth quarter huge for this squad. Paul George only having to play twenty eight minutes as he was gonna be on a minister restriction. I don't think he was getting a thirty dealing with that groin injury. Was very good overall. I felt like twenty one points on fifteen shots, three three pointers, some big ones in that third quarter. More Clippers postgame locker room show. Next, I'm outa Moslin and you're listening to
the Los Angeles Clippers Audio Network? Is it just me? LA Clippers basketball is on the two one three era continues. You're listening to the LA Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Clippers win in Toronto one twenty seven to one oh seven. They handle their business in game one of this seven game road trip, a treacherous, brutal road trip that includes multiple back to backs, like how they'll be in Boston tomorrow. Taken on the Celtics, best
team in the league that's only lost one time. One time at home. That was to the Denver Nuggets, the champs. Can the Clippers pull off a victory tomorrow? Gonna be a good one, but a nice start to the Roadie winning by twenty in Toronto. Wish they put them away a little bit sooner, but all's well, that ends well, and it was Norman
Powell with some key buckets down the stretch. Russell Westbrook also had three layups in that fourth quarter that were critical side stepping defenders got a reverse on one. Paul George. I saw him go up for a block late in the fourth quarter. That made me go, oh, I guess he's feeling pretty good. Hopefully he's good to go with that groin injury tomorrow in Boston. We'll preview that on Clippers Stock. Coming up next outside of Los Angeles.
We are leaving you until three pm with your pregame show when the Clippers take on the Celtics from beingtown tomorrow up next to here on M five to seventy LA Sports, We got clipperstock next.

Subscribe to Clippers Talk on iHeartRadio or wherever you podcast diperation. You hear me right now, your host on your home for the Clippers, they were in attack mode. Adam Osley, Good Life finds away. Clippers find a way to tame the Raptors in Toronto. They win one twenty seven to one
oh seven. I'm gonna Oslin to welcome into Clippers Tuck eight sixty six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number coming up. We got postgame audio from James Harden, who gets his first triple dub as a Clipper, seventy fifth of his career. You'll also hear from coach Lou and I don't know if it's Chuck or Will
tonight, but somebody's coming on from Clips and Dip at some point. Guys, if you're listening, uh, maybe text me let me know what's the schedule. I know it was a victory, so maybe that means it's will Updyke since that's in his contract. He only comes on after victories. Clippers have gotten a lot of those as of late. They've won twenty six of their last thirty three ball games, twenty one of their last twenty five, and let's make it twelve out of the last fourteen. Now this team is
humming. It's still just January, it's almost February. But I like the way they're playing right now, and I like how they opened up this brutal, grueling seven game Grammy road trip with a victory in some style points late. Did you want to see him put the Raptors away earlier? Yes, they got it down to eleven points in that fourth quarter, but missed the fourth quarter Norman Powell. Powell once again stepped up. The guy is incredible.
If you're not paying attention, follow me at foul out of may on X. I've been posting his numbers after every game because he just continues to dominate fourth quarters. He was two for eight with just eight points heading into the fourth back in his old stomping grounds. He also helped the Raptors get a Ring in twenty nineteen along with Kawhi Leonard in the fourth after struggling early on, he went four or five, had nine points, finished, was
seventeen and had the Daggers. Was throwing them left and right, a big three pointer and then a steal leading to a dunk, and that was the ballgame. Because the Raptors were hanging around, they were making it interesting. I like this team. I like the direction of them. I like Darko, especially anyone who goes after the Lakers. I mean, that's a man after my own heart, cuts from the same cloth. I like Scottie Barnes. I don't know if he's going to be the face of the league.
But they compete, they play hard. They didn't have a manual quickly, and they did not give up late in the ball game either. That's what was impressive to me. Could the Clippers have been better, Yeah, they had too many miscues. You look at it and the box score says it's just eleven turnovers, But the problem was every time they turned it over, the Raptors were converting. Those eleven turnovers led to nineteen points for Toronto.
Now the Clippers were doing the same thing to them. They had eleven turnovers leading to eighteen points, so right there with them. Points in the paint though Clippers was seventy seven to zero, almost as many points in the paint as Luka doncicch had tonight on the road in Atlanta, as he had seventy three. Mavericks got the victory. It's a storic. I'm gonna talk about it. I know it's not Clippers related, although we got enough PTSD from
Luka Doncics in two first rounds that maybe it is. They played Devin Booker a lot too. He had sixty two and a loss in Indiana. I think both guys were putting him up today for the late great Kobe Bryant four year anniversary of his tragic death. The Clippers, I felt like they had opportunities to put the Raptors away early. But the fact that you didn't have Kawhi Leonard and play any minutes in the fourth quarter is a win. We are. He gonna be in Boston tomorrow, taken on the best team in
the league. Eye test says it, record says it. They've lost once at home. I was hoping that Clippers would step on the gas and be up by twenty five in the third quarter, and Paul George wouldn't have to come back into the ballgame, and Russell Westbrook wouldn't have to come back in. James Harden wouldn't have to play thirty five minutes like he did tonight. Norman Powe wouldn't have to play twenty five minutes. I wanted them to get
a little bit more greedy, but there's another team out there too. You got to understand that. I don't think it was so much. The Clippers were playing with their food. The Raptors are at home. They don't want to get crushed by Kawhi Leonard, the hero up in the North. If you saw that parade when Kawhi let out the aha ha ha ha laugh afterwards after everyone was making fun of his introductory press conference, laugh, all right, he's a legend in Toronto. He's a legend in the game. In
this one, they only needed sixteen points from him. You'll take that, especially when ten of them came in the third quarter. Clippers got up by twenty one in the third, but Toronto battled back brought it back to twelve points. Emir had a big and one the last minute of that third quarter, but it was still a fourteen point game. Clippers led by fourteen at the half, led by fourteen going into the fourth, and the Toronto Raptors
made a push had it to within eleven. You never really felt like the game was in doubt though, that the Clippers were gonna let this one get away from them, and Coach Low didn't either, hence Kawhi Leonard not playing a minute in the fourth. That's important. The starters were very good overall, and I thought it was a big bounce back for Mason Plumbley and Daniel Tice, who just did not play well at all against the Lakers on Tuesday.
I think they combined for four boards in this one. Big Plumb twenty five minutes, twelve and twelve, huge reverse layup, and James Harden and the pick and roll is so devastating. It's just beautiful basketball to watch. Imagine not wanting to watch James Harden play basketball and say he's just a dribbler. The guy had thirteen assists to one turnover, a twenty two, ten
and thirteen triple double where he made life so easy for everyone. First, Plumb, he had a bucket off a feed from Terrence Man, but then the alley oop from Harden the first, then a dunk off a Kawhi bounce pass on that reverse jam I was talking about, a plumbley, another dunk in the second quarter off a hardened bounce pass, a dunk to start the third, and a put back off a miss lob where they just couldn't connect. Harden was trying to find him for the layup lob. He eventually got
it to go. That's necessary. Don't know if Porzingis is gonna be playing tomorrow, but if he is, I'm sure Plumb's gonna be on him plenty. So he gets twelve and twelve. Daniel tis off the bench eighteen minutes, six and four, three of four from the field, good production, huge dunk in the second off a hardened bounce pass, but then the put back dunk off off a Norman pal three pointer near the end of the her
after he got Norm that shot, creating that extra possession. Norm misses it off the offensive rebound from Daniel Tyson and the kickout, and then he misses it and Daniel Tice just throws it down with authority. That's important. Need those guys both be peaking with confidence or brimming with confidence heading into Boston tomorrow. Terrence man Sawid again did all his scoring in the first quarter, but he was a plus twenty six points, a couple of assists, three boards,
and he's been providing more of a spark early on in games. He had a layup off of Kawhi Leonard, offensive rebound early and then in a dunk off a Onn't you know James Harden bounce pass all six of his points in that first quarter. Norm came in, had a throw down the first, a three in the second, But what he did in the fourth quarter put the game away, as I already mentioned, and Paul George dealing with
the left groin injury, the sore is there. He was questionable five hours before the ball game, gave it a go and I thought was pretty damn productive overall. He had a block on Gary Trent Junior in transition, another really well defended bucket at the rim the next time down for Toronto in the first half. Then he would knock down a jumper over Bruce Brown, a layup off the glass in the second quarter, a PG three in the second, a couple of them, then a three to start the third quarter,
and an and one. He looked good timing wise, just six of fifteen, but six of seven of the charity stripe, where the Clippers were twenty two for twenty four overall. Compared that to Toronto, they were thirteen to twenty two at the free throw line. It ain't always sexy, it ain't always pretty, but you can win ball games knocking down your free beasts.
The Clippers have been recently, and they've all I've been getting a lot of points in the paint when you're the best three point shooting team in the league by a full percentage going into this game at just over forty percent. Now, as the Clippers have been climbing last eleven games before this one, they were shooting forty seven percent from three. They only go nine of thirty two in this game. They started zero of six and they still shot almost fifty
one percent from the field because they were hitting their twos. They're putting pressure on the rim. They were in attack mode. You gotta find different ways to win if threes aren't falling, get to the basket. That's what I really love about this team right now. They're showing a multitude of ways they can beat you. That's what championship teams do, and they're building some of those habits. Doesn't mean anything's guaranteed. Long way to go. Gotta have
some luck, gotta have some good health. Big zoos still out, Paul George dealing with this groin injury. But the Clippers are twenty nine to fourteen, and I believe at the moment, yes they are. They're a half game up. They are in the third spot currently in the West, ahead of the Denver Nuggets. What do I always say? What do I always hammer and ingrain into your skull? There's been one team the last fifty years that has won the championship that was outside of being a top three seed,
and it was a team that had just won it the year before. I'm talking about the ninety five Houston Rockets. Don't tell me the regular season doesn't matter. When there's one damn team that's won it that wasn't a top three seed over the last fifty years, it matters. And the Clippers are climbing up the conference standings. Tomorrow though against Boston Ooh, it's a tough one. That is the tough second night of a back to back you could have
in the league right now, schedule makers. Never do the Clippers any favors. We know that into a dome can't come soon enough. But the Clippers I thought it was a focused business approach and attitude for the most part. In Toronto tonight, in game one of this seven game road trip, they win one twenty seven to one oh seven. Keith in LA, You're on Clippers Talk starting things off tonight, Keith, what's up, Adam? It
is good to meet you, my brother. Man. Wow, if it's all right, could I, since is our first time talking, Could I take just like just a real just a few seconds and kind of tell you my background if you will, I think you'll put my why I'm calling in context, if you will, I mean it's not a job application. But all right, Keith, where are you coming from? Oh? Oh no, no, it's very simply that. Man. Of course I'm calling from Los Angeles, and I grew up in Los Angeles, a native Bangelino.
Of course I grew up a Laker. However, my favorite Laker was Norm Nixon, and long story short, I had a chance to go to Norm Nixon's basketball cap. I had to be like twelve years old or whatever you know at the time, like you know, and it's like nineteen eighty eighty one in the showtime area and all. It's just the nicest guy and all that, you know what I'm saying. But of course you know that's why
I met him and just was still extra fond of him. But you remember, in my I guess it was like the mid eighties Norman got traded where to the Clippers. It was still was it San Diego or had they just I think they had you know, no, it was still San Diego. Yeah, sure, because he was wearing those old school retro uniform that we have seen the Clippers have with an alternate uniform recently. That's been their city edition uniform recently. Brother, And so I had to give you that intro
about myself. It's because of Norm Nixon, if you will. But and I said, you know, I followed Norm Nixon to the Clippers, and so I said, well, you know, maybe there'll be something one day again is a young and all that, But I have been following the Clippers, brother Adam, for that long. You know, I remember the coliseum days, and you know when you can throw a rock and not hit anybody, you know I'm saying, I remember the Sam Cassel days. I remember,
of course the Lob City days and so fast forward. I just had to give you that background about me. Here we are today and what you were saying was so sailient, and I didn't know they have climbed up to the third seed with this win tonight. This is a team that started three and seven. Since then, they have won twenty six of their last thirty three games. And it also coincides with the starting lineup change and Russ coming off the bench. That is incredible. And I could go on. I
want to keep I know you got other call us. And let me just say I was definitely nervous about the beard coming, you know what I'm saying, But it is but credit to Tylu the chess player that he must be. Just figure out what to put the pieces, and you know, yea da da da da. It's amazing. It's amazing to see him humming on all cylinders. You know, you know so. But again I had to give you a little background. That's how much this means to me. That's
how long I've been rooting for the Clippers. Hello, I even have I can just tell you one more mini story about maybe like twenty twenty five years ago, I kind of found myself down on my look, I was homeless and all that, and I remember shopping in this this thrift store and there was and this had to be like maybe the late nineties or early two thousand something like that, but and there it was. It was this Clippers jersey
and all. And I've paid me but I don't know Adam, maybe like six or seven dollars for literally, but I said to myself, what was the jersey? Day? Who is the player? Oh? No, And that's the thing. It just simply says Clippers. I would have to email it to you. There's no number. It just simply says Clippers on the front. And it's blue with the red and white. I'm near it right now and kind of whining and curses the dissy wheel and all that. Yeah,
just a general Clippers jersey. Okay, that's the thing. And I just said, well, one day it's going to be and it's hanging in my closet as we speak. So so I got some pretty deep roots. Bro. Hey, it's good to hear stories about the Clippers bringing some hope and inspiring others, because you know, obviously before Steve Ballmer Uh, their history isn't much celebrated, but I appreciate the phone call tonight, Keith. I really do absolutely go Clippers man. We'll talk to Adam all right,
Keith. Clippers win tonight by twenty in Toronto over the Raptors. Final score one forty seven to one oh seven. Coming up next, we'll continue. We'll get back to your phone calls eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy or you can get to
me. I'll follow out of May on X James Harden gets his seventy fifth triple double of his career in a Clippers uniform, his first as a member of the Clippers, and they win by twenty in Toronto over the Raptors. They'll be in Boston tomorrow. More on that too. You're listening to clipperstock here on NI seventy LA Sports LA Clippers Basketball is on the two one three Era continues. You're listening to the La Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network.
Clippers win by twenty in Toronto over the Raptors. Welcome back in to Clippers Talk. I'm Ada moslind eight six six ninety eight seven two, five seventy coming up. We got postgame audio from James Harden. He had the triple dub tonight. Last game it was Kawhi Leonard. Clipper's doing special things each and every night, it feels like right now, and they just continue to string together victories victory. They'll be in Boston tomorrow taking on the Celtics
in game two of this seven game Grammy road trip. But I was overall proud of the effort. Tonight. Clippers started slow, then Terrence Man got him going, ma some plumb lead James Harden and things started to kick in. Led by nine after the first quarter, fourteen after the first half, fourteen heading into the fourth quarter. They win by twenty. In Toronto. Let's go to Lenny and Inglewood. Lenny, you're on Clippers South with that Amas and what's up Adam? You know when first of all, what's up
Man? Yeah, when he first came hardened and we were talking about him, and I said, he's got to get seventy percent of his points in the first half and just run that thing in the second half. That's looking true to form right now, and the statistics bear it out. You know, I saw today that once he scores eighteen, we're like, I think eighty percent win rate when it's fourteen. Where you know, we dropped, we dropped down. But well, I mean, look, they've won twenty
six of their last thirty three games. So anyway you cut the statistics, it's looking good right now with this team. It ain't no doubt. But I'm just talking about moving forward. And because it's gon to get tight is you're gonna get you know, they're gonna ty lous beginning tighten when all these teams are getting raised. You know, after that playoff, they know what time it is. But once again, man, I'll say it now, I'll say it every I was blue in the face. Nobody has a has
a has a player like our boy Norm Powell in the league. He's a weapon, man, He's a weapon. And Russ is just I'm just he's impressing the hell out of me, man. Like he's fine in his rhythm. You know, he's accepted that role, embraced it, and he gets his points. He plays that. Here's what I like about Russ. Here's what I like about Russ. The problem is he has been missing far too
many layups recently. Uh, it's been a little bit alarming. And when he misses a layup that is basically a turnover because you got a five on four going back the other way immediately. With how quickly he attacks the rim, you're right, he goes hard. But when he missed that layup early on he first came in the first quarter. After that, he dunked it the next time down or the next opportunity he had, like he knew, okay, I'm just gonna throw it down this time. And actually in the
fourth he made three really big lamps. Yes, yes, you know coffee what just like a pressure release man for for for for George. As a matter of fact, I wasn't even sure that we we meeted Paul George. I'm glad he played, uh, you know Toronto's because because that took that game tomorrow night. Man, if we win that game, and when we win that game tomorrow night, it's on it. I mean it's on and popping right now. But the last of the holdouts, I'm gonna have to
get on board that. Rick Buker can't stand us. Will Bond says we're good regular season, but he doesn't believe in this is the playoff, which is fair, but everybody else man has has has has given it up. Let me tell you, I don't think it's fair for this reason. Their failures in the postseason have occurred because of injuries the last three years. I understand what happened in the bubble, but the bubble was fluky in a lot
of different ways. The Clippers, I think, were on their way to winning the championship in twenty twenty one, and I think most of those guys you mentioned would have agreed with that. Most people thought, Okay, they definitely would have beat Phoenix with Kawhi for sure, and I think they would have beat Milwaukee. We know what Kawhi has done to johannist Denakoopo in the
past, so it's like, well, you can't predict injury. It's not like they're just flaming out from poor play in the playoffs over the last three years. That's not what has occurred. Last season. They go in with just Kawhi, know, Paul George, and then Kawhi gets hurt. So it's a different argument. I think when you want to say their playoff failures are because they've actually had legitimate brutal injuries at the wrong time, versus a
team that is just continually not showing up in the biggest moments. That has not been the case, not with ty lu I agree. I agree straight off. I just look forward to that game tomorrow, man, and we've got to stand on business, handle it. And you're on the team to beat them, as we know as the Nuggets, and we just got to show improve man. Let's go. Let's get it all right, all right, we'll talk to you tomorrow. Leney, appreciate it. Morris in Long
Beach, you're on Clipper South without a manson. What's up, Morrise, Hey, let me tell you something. This is a big game tomorrow. This is a big game. So you know what the problem with this game. This is the problem with this game tomorrow, of Adam. It's a back to back in Boston. These guys ain't gonna get a good night. This is It's gonna be a big game. I wish I had that one day off, one day off, and I wish we also had this. I call him the game so I would win. Zoo Box coming back.
Big Zoo is gonna be reevaluated in three weeks from now at this point, so I think realistically, best case scenario, he's back after the All Star break. That that's my guess, Morse. But like I said, the Clippers are being first place by that time. But I'm gonna tell you something. The Clippers miss him. I mean they're doing okay. I'm taking nothing away from the Plumber, and I'm not taking nothing away from Tyson. I like Tyson brother can shoot the three. But they missed Zubac in that paint.
They really really do. Oh, they gave up sixty six points on the paint to the Toronto Raptor tonight. You're damn right they're missing them. Look, look, I know what I'm talking about. But that's gonna be a big, big game tomorrow. And watch this the Clippers, I think
you sait there in the third place. I think that one game or two games in the lost column behind the first, behind the first, two games behind Minnesota in the lost column, No, no, No, one game behind them in the lost column, three games behind them in the win column. So they're two games back of the t Wolves. Yeah, but that's you know, that's saying something to considering how they started. But that I'm telling you, that's gonna be a big game tomorrow. Everybody's gonna watch it
when the Clippers win that game. I like the peevish callers attitude. We're gonna take this when the Clippers win that with us on. I know, you know, because you got all these statistics, you know the Clippers is the best team, got the best record in the NBA since deceimed the first they got the highest scoring team in the NBA since that time. I mean, we can't take this for granted. This is the year they're gonna do something. And you know what's so crazy about this am Nobody was talking about
the Clippers and winning nothing this year. Anybody's won the download with it. Now we're saying something we've never seen before. And the team that was hot before tonight. Before tonight, the team that was rolling was Phoenix, but they lost to Night. When you got a beal is the third option? You got something, right. But the Clippers do something that these other teams that can score don't do. They play that defense when they got to and
you're right, Westbrook missed a whole lot of bunnies. But that's okay. Just keep your pedal to the medal because it's difficult to keep up with that guy. I mean, you're gonna talk about the energizer money. It's tough to matter do a program with him and asking what are you eating? Man? What's your diet? Because I guarantee you're not eating a commercial foods.
But anyway, tomorrow's a big game. They win that game, they're gonna be all these haters, they will have to check themselves and as Clippers are going to demonstrate they for real behavior though, Adam, get another club all right, more soon, long beach program director right here now, producer as well, John in La. I'm taking another call, John, what's up? You're on Clippers stop with Adamasen? Yeah, Adam, great show as always. Uh. You know, I was surprised that Paul George played the
night. I thought leading up to the Celtics game tomorrow they would rest him because quickly wasn't playing. So why did they need PAULA George? They didn't need him. So, you know, Clippers are definitely trying to prove a point right now that they're trying to prove the point that they don't take games off, you know, and I think that's that's uh, you know, complimentary, it's great. Uh. Here here's my own here's my only concern.
I don't want them to prove a point to the point where it exacerbates an injury winning a game tonight with Paul George. Look, if he needs to stay, if he needs to be a week off, and only he knows on the doctors, and and I'm sure they're going about it the right way. But in a hypothetical, if he needs a week off so he doesn't end up missing a month because he wors isn't an injury. I'm all
for that. So I I live in California, so I do fantasy sports, and I thought Paul George was out tonight, so I played Norman Powell in a mirror coffee in my fantasy league. That was a big mistake because you know, they played great. But if Paul George would have, you know, been out like he was supposed to be out, then he wasn't supposed to be. He was questionable, I know. But but Norman Powell against his old team in Toronto would have been you know, would have scored
twenty points for sure. I mean that that's hands down would have happened, like the Clippers would have beaten Toronto without Paul George to night, hands down, no problem. No, Toronto lays down for everybody lately there's they got nothing. They lost to Yakham and then now they don't have well John, they were down twenty plus and they didn't lay down against the Clippers. They got it to eleven. So I think they were playing with some pride tonight.
No, but that's that's similar to the Lakers and their experience last night with you know, a depleted that the World team are playing. Yeah, I mean, you know, but the difference is Toronto's at home. Toronto's at home, Cowhi's in the building, Norman Piles in the building. They're gonna play with pride. They don't want to get embarrassed. So I don't know. It may have gotten dicey if Paul George didn't play in the game.
Now, if you can't worsen the injury by playing in the game, if it's not that bad, if it's just soreness and he's just it's just a pain tolerance thing, I'm not that concerned about it. And he looked good, so hopefully he's ready to go tomorrow. Looking for postgame audio from coach lou on that uh, let's go to r J. And Pomona R j R. And Clippers sococo with that amalson, Hey man, how you
doing bring us the tailoo? Because he's got all these guys buying in on what he's selling and you can just see they playing as a team and that's good for the Clips. But I just want to make sure they don't take the highs too high and the low too low. You're just keep it steady. And who cares about the past, about in the bubble or this or that, because I mean it's now and these guys are playing really, really
clean and good basketball. Yeah, I agree with you, ourj. This is the best stretch that the Clippers have ever had in the regular season in the history of their franchise. It's not hyper, that's a fact. It is a fact. And the way that they're going about it, I mean, they're just handling business and they're keeping their heads up behind and walking off the court and they're like, next, let's just keep it going that way.
But like I said, don't take the highs too high and the low too low because it's not always going to be like this, and the true team's gonna figure out how to when it goes sideways. You know what I mean, and Tyer Newe get him back on track and just keep on keeping on, all right, our Ja. I appreciate the phone call before we break here, Kevin in Culver City. You're on clipperstoft with that Amaza. What's up Kevin? God is good? What's up there? How you doing,
Kevin? How you doing a lot of time? I like that God is good, Kevin. I'm good. Oh yeah, it's it's it's it's it's a crazy day today. Man. You know r P Kobe Bryant, RP Kobe Briant, de goat. You know this team. I'm gonna tell you something. You know, I went to a game in the preseason and you look at the organization and everybody's first class. Uh you know, the whole game, the whole setup with the team from the owner Steve Bomb all the way down to the players. And to see it all come together full
circle is just great. I'm gonna speak about a word called continuity. And when when this trade was made for James Harden, everybody was chirping about it, but these guys knew, they know each other, and I think what James Harden has done, this is the best I've seen him since he was on ok see, he looks in shape, he looks committed, but he looks focused. I mean, he was pretty damn good. But yeah, no, no, I mean I'm talking about from a team stamp Okay,
okay. Everybody's out under court with the you know, the rant like Paul George. I just I just I love seeing how everybody's in their perfect places to score. Paul George looks comfortable as a pure scorer. You got Kawhi, you got Westbrook coming off the bench, and this team can really be special. This team can win a championship. And there was a caller about Paul George sitting out, that's a loser's mentality. I think Paul George is
focused this season and if he's gonna play, he's gonna play. These guys are focused to win this championship and they're all committed to winning the prize. Kawhi committed for the four year deal, and it's just special to see this team saying, you know what, this is who we are, and this is who he can be and there's nobody in this league that can beat them.
When all these guys are firing on all cylinders Tomorrow is gonna be a great indication of where they're at. But like I said, we got bigger, bigger expectations this season, and with this depth, and when you got hardened Paul George and Kawhi and the court together, it's just too much spacing, and it's too much scoring, and it's too much passing and sharing the ball. And I don't see anybody being this Clipper team. These guys they're
they're they're motivated, and this team could definitely win a championship. And you could just see it by the way this team plays together. They believe it. And these guys have been grinding together since they've been here, Kawhi and Paul, and it's great to finally see it all come together full circle. So I think this is definitely a championship team. Let's just keep building on it and just keep better, getting better and better every game. But i'mother
what I'm seeing out there on the court. Kevin love the phone call, I'm up against the break here call in tomorrow as well, Clippers will be in Boston. Look, my point with Paul George is I just don't want to see him to push things, to put to prove a point that he's playing more games this season because when it's a growing injury and it's that difficult to manage and it can linger. The point will be proven if they can
win the championship. Not a game in January, late January. But I trust him, My trust the medical staff, and he looked good tonight. So let's hope he's playing Tomrow against Boston. Clippers win one twenty seven to one oh seven in Toronto over the Raptors. We got big will Updyke coming up coming up next here on clipperstock Oni seventy LA sports every Clipper game all season, law, they didn't stop playing hard. You're listening to the LA
Clippers Audio Network streaming on the iHeartRadio app. Clippers win one twenty seven to one oh seven in Toronto over the Raptors a MATAMAZLA and you're back in on Clippers Talk. Clippers have now won twelve of their last fourteen ball games. You want to go back further, twenty one of their last twenty five oh even even further, twenty six of their last thirty three games since the new configuration with the starting lineup eight six six ninety seven two five seventy eight,
six, six ninety seven two five seventy. We'll get back to your phone calls, but first it's big Will Updyke from Clips and Dip doing a little dip here on Clippers stock. Well, what's up my friend Adam? Adam gonna talk to you. Another Clippers win, So I gotta hop on Am five seventy. That is in your contract. I mentioned it earlier. I was wondering, you know, is it gonna be Will? Is it gonna be Chuck? Oh, the Clippers won. He's got the big W in
his name. It's in his contract too. It's got to be Will Updyke tonight. So were you impressed? Did you have did you want to get greedy a little bit because they could have put the game away earlier? Or do you just take the win and run with it and head to Boston. I think it's definitely the latter. I think that you take the win,
you run with it. There were some things that, like we talked about going into this game that the thing that's been troubling about the Clippers, even on this insane tir that they've been on, is the defense hasn't been at the level that we know it can be. And I thought tonight things were a little different. Holding the Raptors sub one ten, which is kind of what I was hoping for going in. They were able to pull that off, and we saw some great effort, especially from Paul George, who had
an offshooting night but had some great contests around the rim. Same thing with Kawhi. So that looks a lot more buttoned up. And I mean as far as like the minutes, it's still like, other than Harden, who was at like thirty five, nobody really had anything more than thirty. So, you know, I think it's about best case scenario. You know, you would hope that you would hope that Toronto doesn't sort of come back into the game in the fourth. But I mean, you know, what are
you gonna do. You're on the road, they're at home. They're not gonna let you take the win. Yeah, they weren't going away. I appreciate the way they fight. I think they have a bright future. Of course, I love Darko after that rant, but you mentioned James Harden. He ends up at thirty five minutes, but his first triple double as a member of the Clippers, and was just throwing absolute dimes out there. He had one turnover and he was trying to lob it over the defense to Kawhi.
But outside of that, thirteen is just that one turnover, twenty two points, ten boards. I don't think you could have expected anything more than what he has given this team, and he is one of, if not the biggest reason why they're having the best stretch of basketball in the history of the franchise. Yeah. No, absolutely, the addition. I mean, I just don't know how you could question the trade at this point. I think that that has largely been silent. It's definitely a new chapter for James.
And you know, I've talked about it. We've talked about it, like I know that there's some animosity towards him in the way that he left his last couple of teams. I think if you were looking at those situations, I think that it's more than understandable. And I think with the fit that he's got here, you know, obviously we'll have to see how it goes in the postseason. But assuming things go well, man, I hope
to lock him up this summer and keep him here semi long term. Yeah, And what happened with the last couple of teams is what happened in the past and with the last couple of teams, and it takes two to tango, and there's two sides of the story. And he's been fantastic in this on this Clippers team and in this Clippers locker room. I felt like it was a nice response from their big men. Mason Plumbley was very good in this game. Daniel Tice was good and both of them really struggled against the
Lakers on Tuesday. Will Yeah, no, that that is a great point. They were between them. They recorded what seven boards or something. It was very it was it was not a good performance. This one was great and they were both super They were both super efficient offensively too, which is another thing another credit to James. I mean it is I don't know, man, it is otherworldly, like how he is in the pick and roll and how he can elevate the play of any big it's you know, just
the idea of getting Big Zoo back is wild. But in his absence, it was a great night from from Plumbley and Tice, and I'm glad that both of them sort of kept minutes low. Mason with sub twenty five almost had that weird knock on his knee like when a body went flying. But they're gonna have they're gonna have their work cut out for them tomorrow. So I'm glad that they both put in a great performance tonight and we were able
to keep those minutes low. So the Clippers over this stretch where they have won twenty six of their last thirty three games, offensive rating is number one at one hundred and twenty two points per one hundred possessions. Their defensive rating is number eleven, and if you just take out a couple of games, it's like top five. You take out the two games without Kawhi in Okasee and then back home against the Boston Celtics where they got blown out. They're
doing it on both ends. They really are. It has been so special to watch. I know there have been some slippage defensively, but again, you take out two games and they're right there with the best teams in the league, as they're one of them now. So what do you think needs
to be emphasized in that game in Boston tomorrow? Will outside of just having everyone healthy hopefully yeah, outside of having everyone healthy, just defensive way, we need to see more of what we saw in this game, especially early, going in, going into TV Garden and getting a win is going to be really really difficult to sell. Pics have only lost ones at home off
season. But I think if they really set the tone defensively, which I know is it's such a big ass on the second night of a back to back, especially you know, like I'd already commended Kwi and Paul George and you know, certainly Tye and Plumbly on what they were able to do. But I think if you were able to go to and know through this hellish back to back, I think that that would be something really really special. I think you the team is shooting for six and one on the Grammy road
trip. That was what coach Lou wanted to see. Five and two at worst. Is that the mark? Well, I mean, if you pull off this back to back, you're you're sitting pretty But yeah, so defensively, it's defensively they need to maintain the same intense be It can't be like we saw against the Lakers, and I think it will deal with Boston's side
a lot better than that. Definitely, two different styles of play, but win wise, you know, I guess that's kind of thought of the Celtics says no disrespect, but like Clippers light, so I always enjoy that matchup. I feel like these two teams they I mean, I know we have the blowout fresh in our minds, but generally these two teams, it's it's
not a dull game. So if the execution can stay at the same level, certainly hard in managing the turnovers so well, like it improves the team so much in that regard, better than they've ever been in the two and three era. I think that that will definitely help limiting mistakes and more intensely on the defensive. Then control the things that you can control. If guy so cold, you know, if we get a couple of cold performances from
Harden and Paul again who Paul seems to be in a little bit. He's had a couple of inefficient games after a season high offensively, you know that stuff comes and goes. You can't control it. Hard arena to stay hot in. But if you execute well and continue to keep things up on a defensive end, I don't think it's impossible for this team to put away a win. I like the confidence we've had some from callers to tonight one more
for you here? Will you heard my rant about it? I want to let you run because I like what you said yesterday on Clips and Dip with Kawhi not being voted in as a starter in the West, and you look at some of the player voting. I mean, Kobe Brown, no disrespect, but he's a rookie. He's played about twelve games this year and he got multiple All Star votes. Giannis's brother got multiple All Star votes. The players aren't taking this serious at all, and it can affect guys money and
their careers. It's just wild to me. Yeah, I mean, look, man, this isn't like, this isn't just for show right, Like like you said this, this affects people's legacy. This this affects It's like, what go you know some of these people if they'll make the Hall of Fame. And I just feel like it's so unseerious to not have Kawhi Leonard, who is having one of his best seasons I'm sure, not the number one team in the West, but the fourth best team in the West,
who have been incredible over the last stretch of games. And for the player vote thing, like I is it animosity because you don't you know you don't enjoy playing against him? Is never an enjoyable experience. I I just don't know. I really I don't understand. I can I can understand the fan vote thing, right. The Clippers, for whatever reason, they don't appeal to the casual fan the way that some of these other forwards who made it
above Kawhi certainly do. But from the players and the media and stuff, I just I think it's I think it's ridiculous. I kind of think it's a slap in the face. And Kawhi has done He's met every criticism this season that that's ever been brought up with him. Oh, he's not available enough. He's been available for all but what two games. I mean, it's it's it's unreal. Oh he you know, he doesn't take things seriously in the regular seasons. Watch the effort he's putting in on the defensive end
this year. I mean, he is putting away games, regular season games with playoff level defense, and like, I just it just it's baffling to me. I really don't understand it. And like, luckily, Kawhi is not the guy. I mean, he's nonplused by this, Like this is not. It might even be a relief for him, you know, to
not have to be a starter in the All Star Game. But like you said, in terms of like legacy and recognition, I you know, obviously I'm biased as a Clippers fan, but I think it's kind of asdinine that that I didn't get that not. I mean, he's a top three player in the NBA this season, gotta be Individually, he's definitely having I think a better season. It's close with KD, but when you account for his defense, it's really not. And it's obviously a better individual season than Lebron.
And then you take into effect or to account that the Clippers are now third in the West. Like, what are we talking about here? It's just it's wild. Yeah, all right, I'll stop complaining about it now, Will. I had to put you on the case. Thanks for doing this tonight here on Clippers Stock with a little double dip. I don't know if we'll be talking to you tomorrow. I guess when they beat Boston that'll be the situation. Win in Boston, Baby, I'm gonna be back on
here gloating. Okay, I love it. Thank you, will absolutely coming up next your phone calls. We'll hear from Coach Lou posts game Clippers win by twenty in Toronto. Final score once twenty seven to one oh seven in favor of the Clippers. Yeah, they're in being town tomorrow taking on team with the best record in the league, team that has only lost once. Sit home. I'm at a Mosland here listening to Clippers Sock. You already five seven LA Sports. LA Clippers basketball is on the two one three era
continues. You're listening to the La Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Did this album win a Grammy speaker box and love below? It should have, but you know who cares about the Grammys. I just know the Clippers aren't at home for seven games for a couple of weeks because of the Grammy road trip. But they win Game one in Toronto, one twenty seven to one oh seven over the Raptors. Welcome back in to Clippers Sock. I'm ot a Mosland. We'll blow things out here with some phone calls. We'll
hear from Coach Lou and James Harden and then we'll be done. Oh w Also get to Katie Newton, our producer Little Casual Katie Corner tonight, Kat's corner, possessive box. Some people out in that corner. Let's go to Josh in l A. Josh, what's up your flippers? Stop? Adam? I wanted. I wanted to talk briefly about the Sacramento Kings. What I grew up in Sacramento? What yeah, yeah, this Clippers to Josh Bonus, what all right? You want? You want my opinion on the
Kings. They never should have gotten rid of Tyrese Haliburn, and I said that from day one it was a bad trade. Wait before you go, Before you go, do you believe that the Kings trading Tyrese Haliburn is the same as the Clippers giving away s g A for Paul George? Because you realize, Josh, how how flawed that argument is when they did that so Kawhi Leonard would sign with them. You realize that, right, they got
Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Josh, You're killing me, man. I'm sorry, I'm so sick and tired of hearing that as if it was just for Paul George when it was obvious that it was for Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Just stop, let it go. Let it go. Let's go to Mitch in New Jersey. Mitch, you're on Clipper stop for that amuson hater Man, I remember having that same Oh god, yeah, that sounds that tracks, that tracks Mitch. Uh talk about something tonight mentioned this Clippers
team currently. Please, they're having the best regular season stretch in the history of the franchise. I love it. We never had one whole thing. We got full whole famous team and three good senses. Especially when that comes back the things, it will be good. I hope we win tomorrow. It's not on TV. There had the Denver and sixes on television ABC, so that that really gets my goat. And remember with thing now, I remember Micadil, you know grandfather. Now we win with the Buffalo Braves.
Do they ever to use the Braves as a as a city addiction or throwback? Yes, they do Buffalo. Oh they paid. They honor the Buffalo Braves and their long history, storied history with going all the way back to Buffalo. They implement uh some of the font they have done that before, some of the colors. Yeah, they have had a throwback jersey as one of their alternates within the past three years. I want to get the City Clippers when they played the Trees Coast teamsvil here. So it's the legas in
the Southeast tomorrow. Hopefully it's still win all right, Mitch, I like it. Thank you, Tajus and Walnut. Close things out, please, Adam a good game, we'll keep it going. Tomorrow is going to be a tough one. I'll hope Persingus plays because we want to play everyone at full strength. We know the front office is collecting data if they need to make a move before trade deadline. These are the games where you want to evaluate yourself and if they need to make a minor tweak. This is These
are the games that you know you pay attention to. But with that being said, I do hope we keep Bones Highland because you know, I was just thinking about his comparison since last year. Don't you see a lot of similarities in his game William Manuel Quickly, But you remember Manuel Quickly I think wapped up Lou Williams in a game mid game when they were taken on the Knicks one time, because that was his favorite player, crowing up in Lou
Williams. So there's similarities between all three of those players, right, and you know what, I wish Kawhi was a starter, and those are you know, eckling year statements. It's just funny. When he doesn't play, everyone's so quick to criticize him. And now that he's played most of the games this year, it's not even mentioned and it's just an afterthought. And in the spirit of his Toronto championship, he did the same thing. Oh, you know, he beat a depleted Golden State. But when you look
at what Kawhi did, he played a stack Phillies team. That team was so stacked that I had the best chance of probably you know, giving a Warriors a good run. They had embed, they had Ben Simmons before the injuries, they had Jimmy Butler, they had Tobias Harris, they had everything. I think JJ Redick was still on that team. Yes, and yeah, and you know, I didn't think that the Toronto could do it,
and you know, Kawhi kept doing it. And then after going two against the Bucks and then him walking up you honest, you know, nobody ever talks about that. It's just like, oh, he beat a depleted Warriors team, But that journey to get to the finals was hey, hey, that Warriors team never should have had KD to begin with. It was a fluky year in the salary cap where Spike thirty. Even the commissioner has literally said it was a fluke. They shouldn't have been able to get KD.
So I don't want to hear about that. Yeah, and you know all that other stuff, like the same thing they do with hard and you know when they lost five or six in a row, Oh, they they bashed on him, bash on him. And then you know when they go on this winning streak, do it in the playoffayoffs? You know what, Yeah, it's the only counts in the playoffs. Well, be consistent. If you're gonna talk about him one day, move and talk about him when they
win. But you know, I'm being salty tea today, just like you, Adam. So let's go tomorrow, Adam. Uh, let's go clips all right, Taj just I love it. Doc to you tomorrow, my friend. Oh yeah, they always moved the goalposts. The regular season mattered back when they lost the first five games with James Harden. Since then, when they've been winning twenty six out of the last thirty three games, it
changes to we'll prove it in the playoffs. Oh wait a second. You said the regular season matter before, but now they're winning, it doesn't matter anymore. It's just double speaking, ridiculous hot take narrative stuff. I'm talking about you, Kendrick Perkins. All right, before we get out of here, I do want to get to our producer, Katie Newton, who has gone over time with us after a game that dragged out late in the fourth
quarter. Let's get to Katie Newton's You know, I actually talked to Ronnie about this earlier, but we'll talk later. Casual NBA corner, I don't want to hear it, all right, just give me the damn question. Oh right, alright, alright, what does the G stand for in G League? I think Gatorade. Really it used to just be the D League, the Developmental League, but I think Gatorade sponsored it, and then that's why it's called the G League. All right? Does that do it for
you? Yeah? I didn't. That's not the answer I was expecting. I don't know what I was expecting, but not Gatorade. There's always a sponsor. Yeah, we need one for this shif follow the money. Thanks. Oh man, you are flying far too close to the sun here. Let's get out. They may be want I don't know. I don't want to get into that stuff. The suits are gonna get after me. Clippers win by twenty in Toronto. They're back after it tomorrow in Boston, tiptom
at four, pregame at three. Before we get out of here. I do want to thank the Clippers organization. Ralph Lawler, Brian Seeman, no It Eagle now, Carlo Jimenez on the call, the callers, the listeners, big brother, Jake Warner, a producer, Katie Newton here in the bank. I'm at Amazin.
