Parents Madness pure on once again, he's Clippers Talk. I got calls on Clippers Talk, immediate reaction and analysis to today's game. That's what he's capable of, hosted by your pre and post game boys of the LA Clippers. Adam Osler, Well the og Steph Curry outperformed the six nine Steph Curry that's the original, had forty five points, and the Golden State Warriors would go on to defeat Paul George and the LA Clippers one fifteen to one thirteen in
Game one of this twenty twenty one twenty twenty two regular season. For your Los Angeles Clippers, Paul George did finish with twenty nine points in defeat.
If you would like to get onto Clippers Talk tonight eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty or get to me at follow Adam a on Twitter. There were a couple different moments where this game was lost, and in some ways it's amazing that the Clippers were able to get back into it, being down nineteen with I believe five thirty left for five thirty three left in that second quarter and being able to close with
a flurry where they were up sixty seven to sixty six at the half tells you something about this team. They still have that grit, They're still resilient, they still have that toughness. What was born out of what happened in the twenty eighteen twenty nineteen season, with all those comebacks culminating in the thirty one point comeback over the Colden State Warriors at Oracle Arena in Game two of
that first round series. That stuff still remains. And even though Patrick Beverley and Lou Williams and Montrez Harold have all moved on, some of that culture that was built by the front office and by these players, by Osmosis who have been around the three I just mentioned, it's still here, and we obviously saw it last year in the playoffs with the twenty five point comeback to Baltham's selves into the Western Conference Finals in that Game six over the Utah Jazz.
That was an encouraging sight to see because there's not much you can do when Steph Curry is just going nuclear like that. In the first quarter, Ryan Adams nuclear style where he had twenty five points in the I'm not allowed to use that reference anymore. In the first quarter, he was almost outscoring the Clippers by himself. Steph Curry had twenty five points in the first quarter, the Clippers had twenty seven, and after one they were down seventeen at
forty four to twenty seven. But my friend Joey Lynn, who we'll have on Clippers talk throughout the year on Twitter, pointed something out an astute observation by a Biola University grad and Joey Lynn at Joey Lynn two ends with an underscore at the end, who's a great job reporting now for SI, now for the Clippers. He talked about it early in that second quarter when the Clippers got down by even more, down by as many as nineteen, Steph
Curry wasn't on the court and they lost those minutes. Still, that's really where this game was lost in some ways. In fact, Steph Curry and I don't always go by the plus minus in a one game situation. I think over the course of a season it's more meaningful and maybe it works better in hockey because I think they started it. He was a minus two in the game. It was the other guys who were extending leads while he was
on the bench. Both in the second quarter and then early in the fourth where the Clippers went six minutes slim shay to you're on six minutes without scoring, from the ten thirty six mark to the four twenty seven mark, so over six minutes span without scoring at all. It's amazing. They were still in it at the end, going that ice cold, and during some of that time Steph Curry was not on the court. This is something Steve kurt
does. He leaves him out till about the six minute mark, it seems like lately in fourth quarters to bring him back to close, and close he did. He had a forty footer, as Noah Eagle put it, to get to forty points. That was just absurd. There's not much you can do in this league when guys are that good of shooters. Sometimes from that far out you're at their mercy. And the Clippers were tonight at the wrong times in the first quarter to Steph Curry, in the fourth quarter, to
Steph Curry where he had ten of his forty five. But in between there when he wasn't on the court, they didn't make enough en roids. They made their run actually in that second quarter with him out there. I believe he only had twenty seven at a half, So he had twenty five in the first quarter, just two points in the second. Clippers had that one point lead at the half. We saw the resolve, the comeback clips. We need to see that. They needed to see that, I think too,
but I also believed they knew it was in him. Any Ways, there were some really good performances by a former Clipper who I want to highlight who's now back to being a current Clipper, and that's Eric Bledzell. Twenty two points, ten of sixteen shooting, hit a three pointer, went to the basket right after Steph hit that forty footer. He quieted the crowd getting
a left handed layup. But this is why the Clippers brought him in in a season where you're hoping Kawhi Leonard returns eventually, but you don't know, and you have to do more than just tread water without him to make the playoffs in the Western Conference. You gotta have more scoring pop, you gotta have somebody who's going to attack the basket, and Eric Bledsoe provides that. And I saw something in him tonight that made me think of Nicholas Batoum and
Reggie Jackson. Two guys who were rejuvenid when they came to the Clippers, Nicholas Batoum last year, Reggie two years ago, but really had his coming out party with this new coaching staff and given that green light, especially in the playoffs after Kawhi Leonard went down, you could see the confidence is brimming. As our friend Brian Semi would say, Reggie put up nineteen shots. He had an off night four of nineteen. He did hit a big three
pointer at the end of the third quarter. He hit another big three in the fourth quarter, but outside of that, his offense wasn't where it normally is. Still had six assists to just one turnover, and the Clippers were fantastic in that area. That is another thing that kept them in it when Steph was going ridiculously Steph in that first half, especially in the first quarter,
Clippers only had seven turnovers on the night. If Golden State lost this game, Steve Kerr, He's probably still upset in the locker room because they almost tried to give it away in some ways. When you're up by nineteen created the Clippers, but Golden State Warriors had twenty one turnovers that led to eighteen points, and I believe they had the majority of them in the second
half. The Clippers had just two turnovers the entire second half. They just went scoreless at the wrong time and the fourth quarter couldn't get anything going. I was a little bit surprised early on when Paul George came back into the game. I think he only attempted two or three shots in that fourth quarter, but did hit that clutch three pointer to bring it within one with five seconds left. That gave the Clippers a chance, but step With hit his
free throws a Vita Zubats had to intentionally miss the second one. It was a mad scramble as Noah Eagle put it to try to get to that lose ball, and Paul George got to it, but not in time, and the shot clock ran out and the Clippers lose Game one of this twenty twenty one twenty twenty two campaign, one fifteen to one thirteen to the Golden State Warriors. But remember it's not just them being without Kawhi Leonard. Tonight,
Nicholas Batouma was out for personal reason. Sirge Ibaka is still out, but he's on the comeback path. The war path he's I think ready for this season to explode. I think he's ready for his comeback year because he only played about forty games last year for the Clippers and wasn't himself from the outset he had that. I believe he called it a pinched nerve in his lower back of eventually had surgery after trying to give it a go in the playoffs.
Just I believe the quote was he couldn't sleep at night, it was so painful, and that's when he knew he had to take the surgery. He was trying to stave it off. He was trying to rehab, do all these other things to come back help his team as a veteran who I believe it's still just thirty one years of age. But as Noah Eagles brought up, it's like having another off season pick up and it's said or he's said to be very close to returning that could help this team because he was
their biggest off season pick up last year. They let Montrez Harrold go to the Los Angeles Lakers and they switched him out with Serge Ibaka, a stretch five, which helped open up the floor. Clippers got off to a hot start last year with him and Nicholas Batum starting again. Nicholas Batum was not out there in this game, and how deep is this team going to be
when both of them are coming off the bench. Next two Terrence Man and Luke Kennard, who struggled also from the field overall just one of five from distance, but he did have a big three pointer at the end of the third quarter the Clippers got down. I believe the Golden State Warriors started off the third on a five hole run and the Clippers were getting down early, but then they went on a nine three run to close the quarter and it
was all from three pointers Terrence Man, Reggie Jackson and Luke Kennard. Terrence Man hit two corner threes that were special where he's showing that growth and sam Z, I don't know if we have a moment, but could we pause ten seconds for station identification? How we got it? You know it's game one for me too, Man. But back to Terrence Man, who I
thought played with some of that Patrick Beverley like spirit. I know a lot of you are missing Pat Bev and he's a fan favorite and he's an all time Clipper legend with how he helped cultivate this new identity, this La R way. But he's a a still now and Eric Bledsoe is a need and you saw why tonight. But the good thing is he had been tutoring Terrence
Man all along. The intangibles are there with him. I think they already were, but Pat Bev helped bring more of them out because he does all those little things and winning plays that we saw for years with Patrick Beverley. And even though Man only finished with eleven points and seven boards and to assist, he was so much bigger than that. When they could slow down Golden State, when they could stop Steph Curry just a little bit, it was
the team man. His energy was incredible. On a play where I believe it was Yeah, Steph Curry got an isolation play on Luke Nard in the fourth quarter, went by him to the basket. Now, I don't think Luke played terrible defense on that possession or overall tonight. The effort has been there from him. But Terrence Man comes flying in for a week side block and Steph Curry just gets it over the top of him. It's just it's
brutal. Sometimes you can think you'd have him stopped that. Somehow you can slow him down and he makes one last adjustment and gets it to go. Special performance from Steph Curry. He's one of my all time favorite players. I remember when he went for fifty in the Garden back in twenty fourteen. I was like, Okay, the Davidson stuff is translating to the NBA. It's happening now. The ankle injuries, he overcame all of those, and
he has revolutionized the NBA in so many ways. But obviously the Clippers were on the other side of it tonight in this one. Still, though they
had their chances, they showed that heart. They came back down nineteen, they had to lead at the half, they had a lead at ninety eight to ninety early in that fourth quarter, but going six minutes without scoring, that's just tough to overcome against a Golden State team that does have a lot of firepower even without Klay Thompson. Right now, they're likely going to make that next step not to just being a play in team, but possibly to
be a sixth seed in the Western Conference. And we'll talk more about some predictions on the Clippers and where they could end up in the standings by the end of the season. There are a lot of things up in the air. But Clippers loose night one fifteen to one thirteen to the Golden State Warriors. I mentioned Joey Lynn earlier, but our friend far bought Essenshari because it's the first show of the season and we are such good friends. I've got
friends. I've definitely got friends at far bought underscore E who's been covering the Clippers also for SI now for a long time. He's a national insider for the Bleacher Report, and he's contributed to The Evil four Letter and Red Bull and Forbes, so he's a jack of all trades and a master of many. We'll talk to far Bought Shari when we come back. Plus we have postgame audio from the head coach to Ron lou Clippers lose one fifteen to one
thirteen after an unbelievable effort from the Golden State Warriors. And Steph Curry, who finished with forty five points. Should also point out Marcus Morris stuck a big three in that fourth quarter with just hundred three minutes left. It was a clutch shot. This was just if you don't have a dog in the fight, it was a great game, very entertaining game to kick off or tip off the NBA season. I know it started Tuesday night, but I
didn't really care about some of those teams planning. All Right, more Clippers stock coming up next. I'm out of Oslin and you're listening to the Patriot LA Clippers basketball continues. Say time shot down the stretch. This is the official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. Clipper's fallen game one of this fresh regular season by a final score one fifteen to one thirteen to the Golden State Warriors up at at Chase Center. Welcome back into Clippers Stop. Brought to
you by Honey. The money saving browser extension coming up. We'll get your phone calls and nottages is already online. Eight seven seven zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. Look, I know where it is. The Dodgers are on AM five seventy. They are in the NLCS. It's kind of a big deal. It's going to take an adjustment here for you guys to migrate back to Clippers talk, but it will happen. A man who needs no adjustments when it comes to greatness and doing a great job
covering the Clippers for some time now for SI. Now he's also a national insider for the Bleacher Report. It's the bod Man, It's the hot bod. Farbod Essen Shari joining me here on Clippers Stalk. Far Bard, my friend, how are you all right? This ain't gonna work, far Board. We'll put him on hold. We'll try to reconnect with far Bard Essen Shari, how dare you look? Far Bard normally only comes on after a win, so I'm wondering if that's what happens when the Clippers lose. It
just turns into static like that. He doesn't like it, can't take it. I know he's out and about and he's zooming in on the postgame media calls, and we will have postgame audio from the head coach to Ron lou in just a second, and I think we're back with far about ess and sorry, Farbot and my friend, can we hear you? Yeah? I don't know what happened. I think my headphones took over the phone and I had the phone to my ear. Okay, yeah, somebody was probably tapping
your phones or not. I get numbers or something, but far bought Tonight's game was entertaining, but if you're a Clippers fan, it's still disappointing. Steph was spectacular. I just want to ask you this because I got some people on Twitter saying, well, you can't let one guy beat you like this. What do you do against Steph Curry when he's that hot? I mean, you can let one guy beat you like that. We've we've seen
them do that with Kevin Duray and Russell Westbrook in the past. They kind of just let him get There's the problem is not I don't think the problem is step Curry. The problem was they were losing a lot of the non step Curry minutes. Yeah, but then again, the Lakers lost the non step Curry minutes, so maybe that's a thing that's gonna happen moving forward.
At the end of the day, it was two pretty evenly matched injured teams and it came down the shots going in or out, and Steph Curry made his shots at the end, and then the Clippers missed their wide open three at the end. I feel like there's a theme here going back to last season. This just gave me deja vu all over again. But they went to the Western Corference Finals, regardless, but somebody who wasn't there in the
team last season, but was there about a decade ago. Eric Bledsoe acquitted himself well back with the Clippers. Ten of sixteen from the field, had twenty two points. What did you like most out of Eric Bledsoe tonight in this first game back with the team. I liked his decisiveness to attack the rim. I mean, he reminded me of Eric Bledsoe of old and he kind of reminded me of Westbrook to a degree of just I'm going to put my head down on bulldoze. The one thing I didn't like is there was
a real hesitancy to shoot the three. And I'm not sure you know how he's going to be as a three point shooter, but his aggression to the rim is something the entire team as a whole was missing last year for a large parts of the season. It feels like another guy who could be rejuvenated in this Clippers winning environment, like we saw with Reggie Jackson, like we've
seen with Nicholas Patou, who wasn't out there for them tonight. It just feels like you put anybody into this mix right now, in this locker room culture and it brings out the best in them, which says a lot about where this organization has been going. Now. I mean, they're really good group of guys. If you ever get to talk to them, be around him. They're all a bunch of really nice guys. Whether it's like Reggie Jackson, Justice Winzo Aviza, Zoobos, pul George, they're all a bunch
of really nice guys and easy to get along with it. There aren't there aren't that many people that would detriment them in any way. It's easy to acclimate people in. And also, I mean Bloodsoe said it best, like who doesn't want to be in La? So you got a chance to be a star in La. Like you're gonna be rejuvenated. I believe there's a song about I Love La that the Dodgers were playing earlier tonight. Terrence Man has loved being a Clipper, and Clipper Nation has embraced him. But the
stats weren't eye popping by any means. But he did play thirty nine minutes and I felt like he had I said the spirit of Patrick Beverley in him earlier, but he has some of those same traits that patched a lot of the dirty were he did very Patrick Beverley, Yes, you know, I liked a lot of when I saw it a Terrence. The only dark spots or you know, bad spot of the game I thought was for a good chunk of Reggie Jackson's play was just it were some bad shots, like some
really bad shots. At one point he was over seven with almost none of them being a good shot. Yeah, at the end of the game he was the one hitting some cluss threes because you could see he has a confidence. He went scoreless till the midway point or with five minutes left in the third order, and then ended up finishing with eleven points. And as you
mentioned, he did hit a couple of big threes. How do you think, because obviously this team isn't at full strength, even outside of not having Kawhi Leonard, but no Serger Baka, no Nicholas batum and we saw Justice Winslow tonight. I didn't talk about him a ton I did like his cutting ability. I believe it was Luke Nard who found him on a back cut on a really nice pass. But how good do you think this bench could be when Nicholas Batoum and Serge Baca are also there. I mean, I
think it could be a really good bench. I mean, and they're gonna have to be a good bench because they won't have Kwai and they can't stagger minutes, so without the ability to sagger minutes, I think they knew with the construction of the team they were going to have to need a good bench. So a little hard to see what the identity is after that first game,
it seems like they want to be defensive pests. There was moments where they you know, they let up too many points in transition for the Warriors, but it was a good first as for them. I think they were both pretty evenly matched. I'd like to see what they do against the Grizzlies. I think they're slightly better than the Grizzlies. They should be better than the Grizzlies, and I want to see what they look like. I guess
the team they're supposed to beat. You know, after that first quarter or Steph had twenty five, Golden State put up forty four points, the Clippers only gave up seventy one. The rest of the way. They never gave up more than twenty five points in a quarter. Unfortunately, that did come
in the fourth quarter. It was consequential. But we brought up Kawhi Leonard there far about and I'm reminded of a report by you, and I'm just wondering if you could hand out some information to the listeners that may make them more even more encouraged about this season. I mean, the most encouraged thing about Kawhi Leonard is that there are numerous people that know he's ahead of schedule. I mean, it's something that's been communicated pretty openly. I wouldn't have
put it out there unless it was super open. It was kind of a pretty poorly kept secret at that point. I think if he were to return, my best guess. I mean, obviously this is super far from now. Anything could happen, right, he could, he could have a setback. He you know, the team couldn't perform that well and there's no reason to bring him back. In an ideal world, maybe March or April is when he could come back. But again, injuries being the way they are,
it's hard to say what happens between now and then. But just know he's on a good trajectory. Otherwise he wouldn't be shooting all these shots that he's shooting and he wouldn't travel with them the Golden State. The Seeker has been out on far Bod SMR for a while. Follow him at Farbot underscore E. That's f ar b o d underscore E far Bod. Say hi to the Birdman for me. I know you're hanging out with Tony Hawk or
something, or at least playing the video game, Adam. I just want you to know you ruin my winning streak on day one, Day one, Adams, I thought for sure they were going to pull it out. But this is a bad home. No, no, no, maybe it's a good home. And because we have a good winning steak and end up losing at the end of the season, so maybe these happens they would at the end of the season. Okay, I'm having the Charlie Day gift right now
where I'm starting to piece things together on the white board. But now I think I know where you're going with that far about next time, for sure after a win you're coming on. I appreciate you man. Coming up next here on Clippers Talk, you will hear from the head coach tarn Lou after the Clippers fall one fifteen to one thirteen and Chase Arena to the Golden State Warriors in Game one. It's just just game one. And this is an eighty two game season again, okay, make it eighty one? Was that?
Oh no, that means the play of playing. I didn't mean to say. That's not what I meant. Eighty one game season again. Last year was seventy two. That's how I got crossed up there. Clippers lose by two one fifteen to one thirteen to the Golden State Warriors. More Clippers stuck. I'm out of Maslin than This is the Patriot Am eleven fifty oh yeah, eight seven, seven, five, two zero even fifty. Tagus is up next here on the Patriot able on fifty. Hold on LA Clippers
basketball continue safe time shot down the stretch. This is the official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. Clippers lose one fifteen to one thirteen up north in North cal to Golden State Warriors. Steph Curry goes for forty five in the victory. Welcome back into Clipper Stock. I'm autam moslind as always. Clipper Stock is brought to you by Honey, the money saving browser extension. And I know it's eighty two games, okay, I hit my head really hard
earlier this week. My parents dropped me again. No, it's just it's been a rough week. A lot of strands. Tagus in Walnut, Tagus here on Clipper stock with Adam moslind Hey, Adam, good to hear from you again, Black Clipper basketballs back. So just wanted to say a few things. But before I said that, you know we're gonna miss Pat Bev of course, so I had to give a shout out. And I understand
why they traded for Pat Bev because we're traded. I mean traded Pat Bev for Eric Bledsoe because I think they realized that throughout the year without Kawai they're gonna need someone to release them the pressure off PG and ball handling, and that's what Bledsoe could do. And you saw today he can create shots and drive to the hoop and it's gonna reduce a lot of the wear on Taran PG. So I think I think it was a good move, and I'm gonna say it now, Patrick Beverley, he will be a Clipper next year
again. I just have that feeling that he's gonna come back. So that being said, I think the two keys going into this year. One of course, is a defense. Last year in the playoffs, I think in the Utah series they found how to play defense pretty well. Even when they weren't scoring. They were always in the games and even against the Phoenix for the most part, so that defense is going to be important and being today
they did a pretty good job. You know, with Steph Curry, he kind of throw those things out of whack, but overall it did like their defense for the most part. And the second thing is is the key for me would be how are they going to generate easy baskets? Because I think without Kauai and he generally has this post up game and he can provide that mid range game and drawl those double teams, we're not going to have that this year. So how do we generate those easy baskets? Is that getting
it to zoo its side? I think it's guys playing more downhill. You mentioned Eric Bledsoe, almost all of his buckets were at the basket, and we're seeing that with Terrence Man, although he had a couple of big corner threes. But I think in some ways they're more athletic. They got more athletic. I love Patrick Beverley, But I don't remember the last time he went for twenty two points unless it was Game six against Utah Jazz. Now
he hits some big three pointers in that one. But Eric Bledsoe is a known commodity as a score and unfortunately for Pat Bev, he just couldn't stay healthy. His body betrayed him, probably because of how hard he plays. But we love him. He's an all time Clippers great and he'll get a standing ovation and the video tribute and everything. In fact, I think he might have already got one in the preseason. They'll probably do it again.
But thank you for the phone call. Tagus through passing through guys, cutting through the lane and getting to the basket. Justice Winslow can do that. I believe both of his buckets were at the basket. Had a nice reverse layup in the first half. So they have the guys, and they have the high basketball IQ players that make the game easier and find guys open looks, turning down good shots for great shots. They've been doing that for quite
some time now. They had twenty three assists as just seven turnovers tonight. It's great. They'll take that. They also had forty eight points on the paint. That's up from where they were last year, I believe at forty four, which was bottom five in the NBA. That's something to watch moving
forward. But we're also going to monitor whether or not they can have the same amount of three point shooting or that high of a percentage as they had last year, where they led the league at forty one per Tonight just fourteen of forty. But they got off to a slow start. I believe they just hit one of their first eight three pointers in that first quarter. Clippers lose one fifteen to one thirteen to the Golden State Warriors, And here was
the head coach to Ron Low post game, speaking with me. Probably the biggest thing is just, you know, find a rotation that fits their works. And I thought our bench came in and gave us a great lift. I thought they competed. I thought their physicality really picked up in that second quarter and they did a good job. And you know, playing against Golden States, that's gonna have those quarters where he goes off, which you gotta stayed, of course, and I thought our team did that tonight. So
hats off to those guys. They played a good game and we had a chance, you know, of ninety eight ninety and didn't scored for five minutes and forty seconds, So that was a huge part of it. So hats off the gold and say they played a good game. But I'm part of our team for the way they competed, I gotta look at it again, law, But you know, we made some shots, some good shots we
had. I think Reggie had an open shot to take it to eleven, I think, and then he didn't make that, and our defense was pretty good, and then Step kind of got going. We tried to fire him a little bit, but this movement just you know, create a lot of confusion for us tonight. And he made some deep shots that you know, we told him you can't relaxed like he's shooting from anywhere, you know, the best shoot of all time, and he made some big shots without us
being a double team and fire at him. I thought Paul was really good, you know, I thought he did a good job of you know, take him the defense gave him. We put Step in the pick and rolls, they try to show her blitz. He made a good passage to Bledsoe and t Man, and you know, we made the place on the back side. We just didn't make shots, So I gotta go back in the tape. But for the most part, I thought we did a good job
of just trying to execute. And like I said, it's tough for those guys to try to do that when you got different lineups on the floor, no center, you know, no four man, and you just kind of just gotta play free. But those young guys who came in and did a good job of competing and getting back in the game all the way back to last year. Just our team just finds ways to, you know, try
to win games, and they do a good job. And no matter what combination we put on the floor, those guys compete, They play hard and just try to find ways. And like I said, a team that we had on the floor tonight, small lineup, we haven't played at all all preseason or all practice. But like I said, those guys competed. I thought the defensials they got stopped and he was able to get some shots and take the lead, and then we kind of went on the offensive drought.
He had four fouls. Yeah, I'll he's feeling pretty good. Yeah, he's feeling pretty good. Picked up his fourth file early on so you know, we decided to get him out. I think they were talking about marks. I thought Blair did a good job. I think he really kept us in the game even though it was down seventeen at the end of the first the one for him, we could have been down thirty, you know, so just you know him getting comfortable, you know, attacking the basket,
you know, being aggressive and making the right plays. And I thought he did it all night long. He's progressive a lot, you know, just like Team Man, and you know, a mirror you know, puts into work just like Team Man. Every day. They kind of like work out buddies. They did together in the gym all the time, every single day. And I played development, who's done a great job with just you know, getting those guys ready to play. And whenever you call his number,
he plays well. So just happy of the progress that young guys are making. We gotta continue to keep growing. Like I said, Merry came in and gave us a great boost off the bench. I thought early on, I thought we wasn't ready prepared for their speed, the cuts, how they get out in transition, and we talked about it, but it's a different thing until you get on the floor and actually get a chance to play against it and kind of settle in. I thought after that first quarter, first
quarter and a half, we really settled into how they play. Our physicality picked up defensively, and we kind of gotta read on what they were doing. So give credit to our guys were understanding, like you know, coming into the game, you don't really know until you get a chance to get
on the floor with those guys. So they did a good job. I think this is a good learning experience for us, you know, kind of showed us where we're at we need to work on and playing this team right here who led the league and assist last couple of seasons on the way they moved to basketball, the way they moved bodies. No better team to play
in the first game of the season, so now you can prepare. There was a head coach Hiran Lou after the Clippers lose Game one of this twenty twenty one twenty twenty two regular season one fifteen to one thirteen up North taking on the Golden State Warriors. Staff had forty five. One of their first things that coach Hurrn Lou mentioned was staying the course and they have dealt with explosive superstars before. I don't know Luca Dantis the last two first rounds,
and they continue to battle, and they continue to fight through it. And as we talked about a little bit earlier with the farbod like that, one guy doesn't have to beat you if you shut down everybody else. But with Steph Curry not out there on the floor, and the Clippers going through that drought in the fourth quarter, as the head coach just put it, that's just a recipe for disaster, at least a close two point loss to a team that turned it over twenty one times. Also, far boyd Essen Shari
at Farbot underscore E just put this out there. As he's listening to postgame interviews, Eric Bledsoe gave a prayers out to Nico. For Nicholas patum so Yes, send him some love, send him some positive vibes his way, as VTB would say, because he was out today for personal reasons. We'll get out, take a quick break here, we'll come back. We'll get back to your phone calls. Eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty.
Eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty is the phone number. This is Clippers Talk brought to you by Honey the money is saving browds or extension. I'm out of Moslin, oh. I just saw this quote from Paul George. Interesting. All right, we'll talk about that next. All right here on the Patriot Amal fifteen LA Clippers basketball continued safe time shot down the stretch.
This is the official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. Welcome back into Clippers Talk after they fall on Game one of this brand new regular season. Still have the tag on one. Fifteen to one thirteen was the final score of the Golden State Warriors and Steph Curry, who had forty five, were victorious. Clippers had their opportunities after coming back down nineteen with five minutes left in the second quarter to take a one point lead going into the half.
They had a three point lead going into the fourth quarter. They had an eight point lead early in the fourth quarter, but then they went cold, ice cold, onto three thousand levels of ice cold. Michelle phif for ice cold. They went six minutes scoreless in the fourth. They still had their opportunities, but Steph Curry had a couple of big three pointers late. Jaremond
Green. Jamond Green had a layup and speaking of here was Paul George post game after he had twenty nine eleven six did his thing twelve or twenty three from the field, five of eleven from distance. That eleven is a good number. We want to see him take at least ten three pointers a game. We call him the six nine Steph Curry for a reason. I don't know who came up with the first, between me and Shane Young or maybe
a great minds think alike, but he has that ability in him. But here was Paul George post game, bringing up something we've talked about last season two and he has as well. And Clipper Nation doesn't understand why he doesn't get to the charity stripe either. But here was PG thirteen postgame. Draymond got nine of them. So honestly, I don't know what what he did that I wasn't doing. You know, I drove the ball more than he did to the paint, took more contact than him going to the paint.
I don't know how he gets rewarded with nine of them. It's just crazy, like you get teed up. I'm getting hit in the face. I'm getting smacked in the face. I shot at three I get smacked on the elbow like that. That is just crazy to me. But it's it's no you know, it's it's nothing new. It's nothing new. I just got to do a better job of staying within the game. And it is what it is. They're gonna do what they do well. The silence there is
definitely is there nothing else? Okay, Draymond got nine free throw temps? Now is it a reward when he only hit two of them? It's almost embarrassing. But he goes two of nine PG thirteen and he's not lying, went to the basket plenty zero free throw temps and instead gave them one extra one on a technical because he blurted out, and one when he wasn't getting a call. It goes back to last year, and I don't know what
it is why he's getting that shack treatment. I know he's a big guy, but he draws a lot of contact but doesn't get a lot of calls. And he talked about it last year. And it's not complaining. It's not crying when it's something that's I mean, this apparent. Even people aren't clippers fantily. How does he not get to the free throw line? More when he is going down the middle of the lane quite often, but for
some reason he doesn't get the same calls. And I think part of it is because he doesn't flail and play the foul game, doesn't ref bait and they're trying to outlaw this stuff now finally, But guys like James Harden and Steph Curry at times, and Trey Young, they and look at they exaggerate, they're very animated with it when they get any contact at them, and
officials sometimes fall forth. And Paul George has never played that game. He's never cheated the game like that, and it stinks that he suffers for not trying to deek officials and dupe them into thinking he got foul when he didn't. Yeah, it's only game one. We'll see how it goes from here on out. But get Paul George some calls. Okay, we'll get some more calls on Clippers stock next time around. I know that for sure. Before before we get out of here, I do want to thank the Clippers
organization. Noah Eagle, Brian Semen, Ralph Waller. That's a three headed monster right there and back in our Burbank studios. You're fantastic, Sam Zea, Thanks Sam, luck with the paper. A plus? Is there anything better than A plus? Until Saturday night with the pregame show starting at six thirty, right back here on the Patriot AM eleven fifty because the Dodgers will be on AMP. Five seventy all the sports. I'm at a Maslin Clippers
hosts in the Memphis Curulies. We'll talk to you then. This has been Clippers Talk. They accepted the challenge, your first post game opportunity to talk LA Clippers without a Mossley. It's what we've always seen from him. Tune in next game for all the action on the official home of your LA Clippers.
