The game is over, Paul George money in the pain, but the postgame reaction has just begun. Kawhi Leonard is so smooth in the mid range. This is Clippers Locker Room, a recap of today's game and a look ahead and your hope for LA Clippers basketball. And now your host, You, sir, are a bad man, Adam Ousley. Clippers fall one nineteen o one oh six at home to Milwaukee Bucks. Welcome in near post games show coming up, we'll get to your final box scoring. You'll hear from the
head coach Toron Lou and the players after this one. But first let's get back out to your voice of the Clippers in Noah Eagle, No, you talked about the three points shooting. Bucks also killed the Clippers on the boards in this one, But overall, you know, I thought the Clippers effort was there with what they had, they just got out executed. Yeah, the shooting is what sticks out to me. Milwaukee ends up going seventeen of thirty nine in this game, Adam forty four percent. The Clippers go eleven
of thirty three thirty three percent. It's a six made three difference in a game they lost by thirteen points six threes. That's eighteen points. I mean, that just can't cut it. We knew the rebounds were going to be a problem because Milwaukee's the top rebounding team in the NBA. The Clippers are right in the middle of the pack, and so that played itself out. But overall, yeah, the efforts, their execution wasn't you wash it.
You have three days now to get ready for Golden State and you've got new pieces to integrate. So looking forward to that, yeah, and a lot to look forward to with those three guys that are coming. The Calvary is on the way for the Clippers. I know we talked about it a little bit in the pregame show in that first segment, but just a reminder for Clipper Nation, Eric Gordon, Mason, Plumley, Bones Highland on the way. There's a lot to be excited about what this team moving forward, very
much. So I think they're gonna all add a different element, different punch, and hopefully just kind of revitalize a little bit of what this team is doing on both ends of the floor. But I'm looking forward to everything that each one of those guys brings, and it'll be exciting to see them make their debut in just a couple of days, especially in that environment against that team. We know the history between these two, so I'm looking for one.
I know everybody else in Clipper Nation is as well. Clippers following this one one nineteen to one oh six, they got three days off, also a good thing for this squad. Hopefully Kawai Leonard will be back and ready to go. Tuesday night tip time is at seven Clippers versus the Golden State Warriors. Looks like they'll still be without Steph Curry six pm with your pregame show, Noah Eagle, great call as always, We'll talk to you on
Tuesday. My friend Adam can't wait. I'm not even gonna make you wait for can't wait. Coming up next, we'll get to your post game box score. Clippers fall by thirteen to Milwaukee and Yannis Denikopo and you're listening to the Los Angeles Clippers Radio. Can I kick you? Can? I'm kicking Can? I'm kicking Clippers lose one nineteen to one oh six at home to the Milwaukee Bucks, second time in a week they've lost to this squad.
This time they didn't have Kawhi Leonard Milwaukee, though without Chris Middleton and they were on a back to back still, they got thirty five from Jannis and then a Koomper who had their first eight points in this one. Clippers were down big early on. By twelve, it was fourteen to two. They battled back and had the lead going into the second quarter, but just not enough. Paul George struggled again eight of twenty three from a field, nineteen
points on three of eleven shooting from the outside. They were led by Brandon Boston, who ended up with twenty points. Some of those were an inconsequential time off the bench. Norman Powell had sixteen, a Mere Coffee had ten. Really gave them a boost in that second quarter with I want to say eight of his ten points. Played really well, maybe his best stretch so
far of the season. But obviously Clippers not just missing the guys they've traded for, but being without the guys that they let go because everybody's in transit at this point, it's up in the air. Guys are in the play okay, they're their courtside, but they weren't yet cleared to play for the Clippers. That would be Eric Gordon Mason Plumley and Bones Highland. So they should be back Tuesday when the Clippers are taken on the Golden State Warriors.
But in a game where Milwaukee goes seventeen of thirty nine from the outside and the Clippers go just eleven of thirty three from distance, and Milwaukee Bucks also second chance points off those boards twenty to two in favor of Milwaukee, that is a pretty big disparity there. Clippers lose one nineteen to one oh six
to the Bucks. Coming up next for preview Tuesday's game on Valentine's Day, Clippers hosting the Golden State Warriors. And you're listening to the Los Angeles Clippers radio, Baby girl, they'll want the dog if you won the game. That was a five point game heading into the fourth. The Milwaukee would make their push. Clippers wave the white flag around the four minute mark and they would fall one nineteen to one oh six to Jannis Dna Cooper on his thirty
five but also Brook Lopez nine h thirteen from the field. He had twenty two and fifteen fourteen and seven in the second quarter alone and went four of six from the outside. Splash Mountain had himself a game, Drew Holiday finished with nineteen for Milwaukee Clippers. Nobody scored more than twenty, and some of those twenty points from Brandon Boston came during well garbage time late in the ball game. It was no longer in question who was going to be the victor
in this one. Clipper's next game coming up on Tuesday, they get three days off. That is huge for this squad. No Kawhi Leonard in this one, being precautionary with that right knee coming off the ACL injury. In eight of his last fifteen games, he's played thirty eight minutes four more. I think that's the reason. And you saw he just didn't look right against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. So two more games before the All Star break.
Tuesday night on Valentine's Day, Clippers hosting the Golden State Warriors, and then they'll be in Phoenix on Thursday. Warriors won't have Steph Curry, Phoenix won't have Kevin Durant yet, two very winnable games, even going up against tough squads in the West and in the PACTV Wow, we have a moment. Let's pause ten seconds for station and entivocation here in the Los Angeles Clippers
Radio Network. This is LA Clippers Basketball AM five seventy, KLAC Los Angeles, ninety eight seven, KYSR HD two Los Angeles and iHeart Radio station. Coming up next on AM five seventy. We'll have Clippers stock for you.
Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy is the phone number, or you can get to me on Twitter at follow out of May outside of Los Angeles leaving leaving you until six pm with Clippers countdown on Tuesday when they take on the Golden State Warriors back in downtown Los Angeles. In LA, it's Clipper stock news to Master Jay, so I walked till for her jam mass to say, it's a hard
knock light, then you pass away. They say sleep is the cousin of death. So mars wide open because the treous kids to the last breath rushed. Well. This post game quote from coach lou leaving the presser pretty much sums it up. Quote Greek freak, bad mother effer, whatever you want to call him, unquote pretty much be honest. Then a kupo has thirty
five, not fifty four. This time, but he got some help from Brook Lopez, who had twenty two on nine of thirteen shooting with four three pointers, and the Clippers would fall to Milwaukee second time in a week, this time at home one nineteen to one OZH six in downtown Los Angeles. Welcome into your postgame show. This is Clipper Stock. I'm out of Maslin eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven
two five seventy is the phone number coming up. We'll get to your phone calls. We'll hear from Lawrence Frank in the pregame pressor talk about the trade deadline, the moves that were made. I've got a few minutes from that presser that i want you guys to hear. But if we're starting things off talking about the contest tonight, or the Clippers fall for the second straight game,
and it's tough losing these last two. You thought they would have at least split against Dallas Wednesday night, who didn't have Luca don chich and it was Kyrie Irving's first game, and the Clippers did have Paul George and Kawhi Leonard couldn't get that one, and then tonight without Kawhi Leonard, without the guys who were moved, and Reggie Jackson, then Luke Kennard and John Wall, and if you want to talk about them as well and give them their
due a tip of the cap and give them their flowers tonight, that is more than welcome because I think all three of those guys, even John Wall, had his moments this season in a short amount of time. But of course the impact of Reggie Jackson on this franchise and Luke Kennard, I think
it was pretty pretty special. But with the other guys in waiting to get their physicals and Mason Plumley who's coming in huge pickup in Bones Highland with a high ceiling, and Eric Gordon back with the Clippers, they just didn't have enough and they couldn't hit shots from the outside. Eleven of thirty three from distance. Remember how they got back into the ball game down fourteen to two.
They turned things around in less than three minutes. It was a tie ball game in that first quarter after they were down by twelve, because they started hitting threes. Marcus Morris hit two, then Paul George Unfortunately he was just three of eleven from the outside, eight of twenty three from the field. I'm glad he took twenty three shots, but he's just been cold the last couple of games, now finished with nineteen, had six assists to one
turnover. That's good to see. But if Brandon Boston is leading you because he got some buckets late in inconsequential extended garbage time as it was over at about the four minute mark with the Clippers waving the white flag, it's not gonna get done against this Milwaukee team that's just one ten straight now, that is going for the one seed in the Eastern Conference, and even on a back to back without Chris Middleton, they just out executed the Clippers. They
beat them up on the board, something fierce. We know Milwaukee's great there, but a plus fifteen board advantage, a plus seven on the offensive rebounds, and twenty to two they won the second chance points. It's hard to overcome that in the three points shooting differential, because Milwaukee went seventeen of thirty nine from the outside, they took just six more threes and the Clippers to make six more. So they were hot. Clippers couldn't hit any of their
open shots, or many of them. At least I thought they fought. They gave what they could. It was a five point game heading into the fourth quarter. But when Joannie wants to take over and just cut through the defense and throw it down as the Greek free does. One of the greatest players I've seen he can do that. He's an MVP as a finals MVP with one of the greatest punctuation closing finals games ever with this fifty pointer to
bring them their first championship in forty years. Pretty unbelievable player. And he's still getting better. He hit a three pointer, he hit a jumper. I don't know what you'd do against him, but to me, the area this game was lost for the Clippers was really in that second quarter when he was out and I think he went out about the six minute mark of the second but Brook Lopez took over the Clippers. I want to say, we're leading by five when Jannis left the ball game, and yeah, it was
at the six seventeen mark. Forty thirty five was the score in favor of the Clippers. Lopez comes in for Jannis and took over as good as a mere coffee was in that second quarter for the Clippers, which was great to see. That was the best stint he has played all season long. Been a very up and down season for him. But with the trade deadline behind them, I expect some of these guys that could have been up on the trading block or their names could have been out there and rumors to play better,
to play looser. I thought we saw that from a mere coffee. Well, I don't know brook Lopez was going to be included in eight trades. I highly doubt that he's one of their pivotal players. But he went off, started hitting threes, had a tip shot, got to the basket, a couple of easy layups, and the Clippers or minus eight in those minutes, the last six seventeen of the second quarter without Jannis Denna Cooper on the floor, and it was brook Lopez who took over. That just can't
happen. You go from up five to down three at the half and it was pretty much all brook Lopez in that second quarter. He had fourteen and seven in the second loan twenty two and fifteen in the game, four mate three pointers, I mean one of them was from Steph curry Land. I got a tweet at me that why didn't he eats. The zoobots do a better job guarding him on those threes. Well, one's a thirty footer. I don't know what you could do against Splash Mountain, who can just shoot
over the top of him too. Another seven footer doesn't matter. He was awesome for them. Drew Holiday had nineteen and the Clippers they needed a bigger performance from Paul George just having got at the last two games. Now, I wonder if the right knee soreness or the hamstring is still bothering him. He did get to the basket a couple of times early in the fourth quarter, slithering through the defense. Weave him through defenders and that was good to
see. And he had an eight point third quarter with a couple of three pointers made. But outside of that eight twenty three from the field, three of eleven from the outside, just nineteen points. I think it was gonna take a thirty spot from him and just the Clippers being hotter from the outside, outside of Marcus Morris who was four of seven. Yeah, Terrence Man,
he was of two. Norman Powell uncharacteristically cold shooting night, one of six, rowco two of five, A mere Coffee took just one, three oh one, But man Norman gets a couple of those to go and the Clippers don't get beat up on the boards that drastically. Yeah, maybe they find a way to rise up and pull this one out without Kawhi Leonard, with all the guys missing still that they're waiting for the Calvarry will arrive likely
all three players that they trade for on Tuesday. And I do think people ask me for a grade on the trade deadline as a strong B B plus. They did well. They filled needs. Mason Plumley huge, That's probably the best backup center in the league. He was a starter in Charlotte. He's having a career year. He just averaged sixteen and eleven in January. Bones Highland is all the talent in the world on offense. He's got to
clean things up on the defensive end. But we'll hear from Lawrence frank In a little bit talk about his high skill level and coach Lou brought up the comparison to Lou Williams. A lot of people can see that looks very similar in stature and style of play, but can hit tough shots, high degree of difficulty shots, a good three point shooter, brings a lot of excitement and energy, and you know what you're getting with Eric Gordon an efficient score,
but downhill attack. He's a bully. He's a bulldog. He pushes guys around getting to the basket. I want to say he's at nine drives per game is where the advanced stats put him. That's really good. So they need somebody to put more pressure on the rim. He's also obviously a good three point shooter having a down year, but I expect, you know, his thirty five percent or thirty six percent three point shooting to rise drastically
because he's gonna see a lot more open shots with the Clippers. And this is somebody who just had three straight twenty point games. A week ago in Air Cordon, he dropped twenty four against the Clippers and made it interesting trying to lead Houston against them. So a great trade deadline. Overall, It's bittersweet always because Reggie Jackson, he's an all time favorite. He is, and Luke Kennard and he was one of my favorite players. Love him.
Best three point shooting in the league last season. Tough to see those guys go. And john Wall certainly had his moments early in the season, Eddie and Whittier start things off here on Clippers Stock. What's up? What's up about hey? Game? Terrence Mann has really owned up to that starting point guard role. Man, I'm loving this kid more and more by the minute. Terrence was fearless at times. In that third quarter, he went at
Brook Lopez for a tough layoup. He drove on Joey goals, which was a siteper sore eyes, per Cliper Nation, they love seeing Joe Engels get picked on there. I thought Terrence had a really good ball game, actually, five of nine, ten points, six boards, a couple of assists. I'm glad you brought him up, Eddie. Yeah. Norman Powell, dude, I personally think he's our number two. Sorry, Paul George. Norman Powell had been balling. That's kind of there's there's two ends to the
floor. And Paul George is an eight time All Star, was third in MVP two years ago and Defensive Player of the Year. Yeah, yeah, thrm, Powell is playing really well. But come on, what are we talking about? Yeah that was two years ago. He's an All Star this year, Eddie, He's an All SNAr this year. The worst All Star on the team. Dude, he didn't deserve to be an All Star.
Just being real. Okay, he's averaging twenty three a game. He's putting up stats, and only six guys in the league are I know he's had two back to back games, but you can't be a prisoner at the moment. Now say that he's not their number two on the team. Norman Powell has been man, that's all I'll say. That's fine. Hey, yeah, he also went one of six from the outside and had a rough game. He looks better than Paul George tonight. But hey, I was gonna
say my pickup, you know, buyout guy that they pick up. I'm gonna stir the pot here. I think they get Patrick Beverley back. That's the dog in the on the bench. All right. I appreciate the phone call, Eddie. I know Cliper Nation would welcome back Pat Bev, who's likely getting bought out if he hasn't already from Orlando. Yeah. Patrick Beverley an all time favorite with Cliper Nation, so I wouldn't be shocked by that.
Let's go with Lenny an Inglewood. Lenny, what's up, hey, man, let me just say this, bro, we don't do good against the league teams. And over the past year and a half, there's two teams that we've pretty much dominated. That's been the Rockets in the Lakers, everybody, and but the elite teams. You know, we beat Boston early in the year without Robert Williams and we just Clippers didn't have Norman Powell in that game either. Yeah, but like you said, Norman Powell is a
sixth man. Nobody's gonna nobody, nobody elite should Oh no, right, look, look, look man, let me tell you Norman Powell, I'm gonna say something. Might not like you've been talking. You can argue he's the third best player right now. I don't know if he's third most important. I agree it's it's Nick Batom. But the heater he's been on for two and a half months shooting forty six percent from the outside is incredible.
Norman Powel has been great. Probably like I said, dude, he's seeing my man fifty grand Uh Luke Kennard, I told you something was wrong he had to go. Uh, you know, wish him all the best, But let me tell you something. JJ Reddick said something in one of his columns of the day, he said. The reason why he had to leave then the NBA. He said it wasn't a regular season. He said, it was what he put himself through through the off season. JJ Reddick got
every scrap, every ounce out of his talent. Man, he just the sixty three off guard from Duke who you know early on in his career. Are you implying Luke Nard isn't. Now Here's what I'm saying. Luke Kennard is a better athlete than j. J. Reddick. If you look, man, I'm I'm a Luke Kennard fan. I looked him up. You know what the high school that dude was, he was the leading he scored more points in lebron and on the quarterback of the left hand of quarterback,
he said, all kind of records in passing. Maybe they didn't know if he was gonna do basketball and football due to phenomenal in terms of his skill. But he's not. He is not a dog like Norman Potter. He looked like a dog with the seven points scored thirty five point comeback against Washington. Bro looked like a dog when he hit that half court shot to bring him back against Atlanta when they were down twenty. Let's not let's not do this. I'm not interested in the who's got the dog in there in the
rib cage stuff like I've seen it with him. I'm I'm not gonna dog him just because he's no longer on the Clippers. I'm gonna bring up facts. No, but I'm bringing facts too. Normal power would unk on his mamo. Okay, that's what we need. I don't think that's Luke Kennard's game plenty, who know. But when I'm staying in that Luke Knar, I'm a fan of Luke Kennar. Okay, So that's that's what I'm saying. But what I'm saying he is for some reason, he has not been
productive for us. And I don't see how you could sit down and look at his numbers. He was the best three point shooter in the league last season and he's still shooting forty four percent almost forty five percent from three this season. To say he's not productive, it's meaningless to me. Just because he had a bad stint his last two weeks. Now you're shifting. Now you're shifting because he's been injured. There's one It's one thing to say a
guy's injury prone, but he's productive when he's on the court. But it sounded like you were saying he wasn't good when he was on the court, and that's just not that's just not true. No what Like I said, dude, I fought. I saw Luke Conard's quick for a long time. I was really disappointed that he wasn't able to, you know, to get us over the hump because I still felt all along this year that was the one thing that we had that other teams didn't have. We had the best
deep ball threat. And I said, if he goes off, that was I would stand in bars and barbershop at the top of my voice that Luke Nard is gonna put us over the top. Well, the truth is the guys who have to put him over the top are their superstars. Internally,
it's the two or three connections that have to get it done. Now, we got one superstar, we got one all star, okay, man, Paul Jordan is an all Star. He's and he's you know, but he's had a couple of bad games after having twenty nine and thirty the two games before, right, but nobody, nobody would call Paul George's superstar. Paul George is an all star. And don't don't get that twisted man. There's only five or six superstars in this league. Look, if you're a third
in MVP voting, you're a superstar. If you're third in and defensive Player of the Year by the way, Okay, but what was that three years ago? And just over a year and a half ago. Was he not a superstar when he took them to the Western Conference finals without Kauai? How quickly we forget? Yes, he's had his had his moment. Okay, Well, if he can play like a superstar at times, you know that that's where it has to be. He has to play at that level in
the playoffs. Well, part of that is he's taken all the responsibilities of a point guard and he can't do it. Like I said, he's not naturally he's not naturally built for that. And even though Terrence Mann is good and attack, he's great at attack him the who but he doesn't dictate a point guard. I say, was dictate the flow of the game. We still lack that. Okay, we still lack that. I think Kawhi Leonard often is the one who dictates the flow of the game. He plays at
his own pace. You can, You're right, he can. He has that unique ability from his But you play three of your superstars. Yeah yeah, but but you still we still need I just think that I'm not saying it's the final point, but for some reason we come up short against elite teams. Well, you can. You can make that argument for the most
part this season. Now, I don't know how many of these games where they've had both Kawai and Paul George, like tonight, they didn't because they do only have ten wins I believe against teams over five hundred, and that's one of the worst records against teams over five hundred in the Western Conference. But how many of those games do they have Kawai and Paul George. I don't have that number four you. I know, they let go of a couple in Philly, up by twenty in Mala Hockey, up by twenty one
games they probably should have won. Yeah, So just moving forward, Uh, okay, Lenny, do you like any of the moves they made? Yes, I do. I think they got like you said, I think Mason Plumley is a steel I was really shot. I was really surprised that they got him. Mason Plumley and I've watched his game. He used to us to come in and dunk, and now he's he's adding uh low post moves. He's you know, I've seen him impressive stuff. I mean,
he's he's rounding out his game. He's very athletic. I think Mason Tumney was a steal on the how they got him. I think bone timing was a steal. And Eric Gordon is good too. Like I said, you know, man, I would I wish the best for Reggie Alden Kevin.
Now Reggie's going to Phoenix and who knows, man, I mean, he's he he's, he's he's gonna he might get his But John Wall just was never gonna be that for us. And it's disappointed because I thought, you know, in the preseason, and I've followed him closely in the summer, I thought he was really going to put it together. But I think, like you said, that those two years off and that Achilles Hill is just it's just a heck of the thing. They overcome. Yeah, And I
don't think you can do it, but Lenny, I wish them. I'm with you, man. I wish all those guys the best, and I appreciate the phone call. That was a long conversation. I gotta take a break here eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy if you'd like to get on after the Clippers fall lost two straight now in both games to Milwaukee this season, one nineteen and one oh six at home, this time to Jannis and brook Lopez to up
one. They got three days off though, get those guys up to speed. I know they have their physicals coming up. That's why they were on the sideline. Couldn't play in this one. But the hope is all three players they acquired and they're really good additions, will be available against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. More Clippers stock next here on the AMPI seventy only
sports ker so Star almost someone. Clippers fall one nineteen to one oh six to Janness then and Kompo brook Lopez and the hot shooting from the outside from Milwaukee. They go seventeen of thirty nine from distance, and I had twenty two advantage in second chance points. And this is a little bit of a disturbing trend. Here last four games, the opposition is shot almost forty seven percent from the outside against the Clippers, Milwaukee almost at forty four percent.
But overall, teams have been hot, and we've seen it recently. That first quarter by Dallas nine three pointers, that first quarter by Brooklyn eight three pointers. They're getting off the hot stars. Clippers are down fourteen to two before they turn things around quickly and ledge twenty seven twenty two heading into the second tonight, but they fall after giving up a thirty eight point quarter in the fourth and really it was over with four minutes left. Clippers lose to
the Bucks. Before you hear from the head coach Chavier and Labber heights, Javier, what's up here on Clipper stock without in Austin, it was up. I'm thank you for taking a car like the enormous season ticket holders. So I was at the game today, so it was it didn't start well, but then, like you said, they caught up in the second quarter. But you know you earlier you were seeing about throwing some flowers to the
x Clippers. Yeah, and you're yeah, and that brought something up that I thought about and Lenny said it earlier that they can't seem to beat the good teams. But you know it, last year without Paul George and Kawai, Lu Kennard and Reggie Jackson, some of these players didn't want some games that they should they shouldn't want. I mean, he beat Brooklyn the game against Milwaukee when they got forty from Rocco exactly. But yeah, but do you know what I'm saying. Yeah, they beat in Miami twice, they
beat Milwaukee at Milwaukee, they beat the Nets in Brooklyn. And that's just four games I can remember. But I know they wont other games. And this is what Kawai and Paul George. So like you said, you want to thrown some flowers. I mean that's you know, they did a good job. I just don't understand what's going on with with the team. With the team this year. I mean it just I don't know. Hopefully with these trades we got, who are you most excited about the three guys they
brought in? Of course Plumby, but the guy was in bones or yeah, I saw hide it, so like I'm like, my god, this guy is he's exciting. He just he's he has no fear. So I was like, wow, So that that was still, so I'm happy for that too. But but yeah, I just like the day I was at the game today and I just I noticed every time Title called time out.
You noticed they ever scored every time what he called him and honestly almost because he called a time out and they had that turnaround when they were down fourteen to two. So it wasn't every time outlets, let's be honest. Yeah, they had some bad out of time out execution. A few different times they had a shot clock violation, and I thought at times in that third quarter, well, they were playing the right way for the most part.
Drive kicks swing, and guys were making the extra pass. They were a little too unselfish and one of those times led to a shot clock violation. Guys were overpassing a little bit. Yeah yeah, but you know they just underman too. So they were missing button kawaii to threw Newts players. So that's bi players are missing. But but yeah, so last thing real quick, Adam I'm gonna be nice. I'm not gonna say his name, but he played thirty one minutes, was a minus twenty two, did not grab
one rebound, and you're playing against a team that it's number one. You're rebounding. That's all I got to say, Adam. But you know what do I know? All right, Adam, We'll see you on Tuesday and help you at the game. Thank you, all right? Avier, I believe, and Code was talking about Marcus Morris, who also hit four three pointers for a team that desperately needed to hit something from the outside. The plus minus it can work for you, it can work against you sometimes.
I don't love it. In a one game sample, yeah, not getting a board there and the Clippers getting dominated and it being that lopsided twenty to two, and second chance points for Milwaukee that hurt them as well. Here was coach Lulo post game after the Bucks win one nineteen to one oh six over the Clippers. Tight considering how shorthanded you were, was there anything positive about taking these guys into the game as long as you did. I mean,
I just liked our fight early on. You know, we got down early, I think fourteen to two, and I'm to keep fighting and then build the lead to get it back up to eight in that first half, and then tough player. We had a fifty fifty ball and then Drew Halliday picks up in the corner and makes it three and cuts it to five. And that's kind of what got them going and got them enrolling. But probably our young guys and some things that they did. You know, a Brandon,
he was really good. He did a good job. And then you know, we didn't make didn't make shots. I thought we got some good looks early on, and then they kind of deflated us. But then we stuck with it and we came back and like I said, our defense was really good and then we was able to you know, take the lead by eighty after being down twelve, and then you know, at the third quarter, they kind of got going a little bit on us. So you guys
had Zoo on on be honest for pretty much the entire game. I think, I know at parts, you know, Johnnys, I think shot six or fifteen in the first half. But Zoo was a little frustrated some of the way he was getting in the basket and scoring. I guess what was the idea with throwing Zo with jannest the entire game and what were you telling Zo in those moments when he was a little frustrated. I mean, just just to stay with it. I mean, our guys are shrinking the floor,
trying to help as much as possible. But he's a tough cover. I mean, that's why is the MVP. And you know you gotta put a physical guy on him, you know, just trying to slow him down. And when he gets inside the pain, if you got a smaller guy on him, he's finished, you know, gett into the free throw line. And so I thought Zoo did a good job. You know, overall, he really heard us. You know, when he got down, he'll like attacking in transition, you know, getting the run and start. I'm
kind of pulling up pressure. But overall, you know, I thought we did a decent job on guarding him. You know, he took fifteen shouts in the first half and the lat and in the second half, but you know that's that was our game plan. And like I said, I thought Zoo did a good job. Jannest and transition is like his own death lineup, like a wolf pack of one. It's just it's gotta be terrifying out there. I thought Zoo held his own, did about as good of a
job as you could and also went back at him. We saw this in Milwaukee too. I wish Zoo at times would get more involved offensively when the Clippers need easier buckets because he had a hook shot. He went at Jannis for another finished with just six points, but only attempted four shots, still had eight boards three blocks. I never really questioned Visa Zubos and his consistency out there on the floor. He's had times where he struggled, and I
think he's been tired, but he always goes hard. He's their iron man and does a lot of the dirty work and the little things to try to make up for any deficiencies out there on the defensive end. But yeah, the honest is just that good coach, lew said walking away from bad Mother. Effer. That's probably what it says on his wallet, like jewels and pulp fiction. All right, Clippers lose one nineteen to one oh six. Coming back back to your phone calls eight six six nine eight seven two five
seventy eight six sixty nine eight seven two five seventy. This is Clipper stock. You're on AMPI seventy ol sports. Here we go getting out rid Fima. Well, I'm back in the Clippers stock. After they lose one nineteen to one else six at home to the Milwaukee Bucks eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number before you hear from Lawrence Frank and his pregame pressure on the trade deadline, Zachary and Santa Monica. You're on
Clipper Stock with Adam? Awesome? What's up, Zachary? Oh hey Adam? Well, so yeah, I'll start by saying this. I did think that Lawrence Frank and the front offic has did a good job yesterday. I do think they need to probably get one person from the buyout market, a backup point guard specifically before like you know, the roster is set. But why I'm calling tonight, I just gotta say, you can add me to the list of people that are disgruntled about lowered management. It just really doesn't
sit well with me. Pun intended that you know, we're against like an elite team like Milwaukee. This team's already been, you know, having to rally so much over the last couple of weeks, and then like the best player on the team just sits out, you know, and really just I just feel like it's so detrimental to the other guys. I get why they do it in theory, but I don't know aside from that one season in
Toronto. I just don't think the track record there has shown that it's really beneficial yet in the long run, and it just really doesn't sit well with him. Aside from that one season with the very player you're talking about that went on to win the championship while he was still limping out there, Aside from that, right, yeah, I mean, I just think you know that's still if you're going to take a sample size, that's still like a one time sample size. So like, yes, but it's not it's not
like a comp or another player. You're talking about the very same player who knows his body best, who has a medical team, and it's a collaborative effort. They come together on this, but often Kawai doesn't get him make these calls. And I mentioned it earlier, but in eight of the last fifteen games he's played thirty eight minutes or more. He's been playing heavy minutes
lately. And he's not the only one when you look around the league of guys who have been sitting out, and the comp would be Jamal Murray with the Denver Nuggets, who was also missed games coming off in acl that he tore a couple of months before Kawhi Leonard did. But let me point this out, Zachary, with how good Kawai has looked already off the ACL where he was runner up for Player of the Month in January. Don't you think the plan has worked? Don't you think to get the most out of Kauai
this is the right way to bring him back slowly? Well, let me say this. You're gonna asker answer your question. It's one a two part answer. I mean, yes, Kawai was getting into form well to me, though, you know, they wouldn't if they both sat out against the Calvs, like what two weeks ago or something, six players missed that ball game. Yeah, okay, well then that might be so okay, that might be a bit of a factor then. But to me, the team
looked very off ever since that happened. So you know, if it's working for Quiet, I just don't know if it's working for the rest of the team. But how did they look? Wait? How off did they look when they won three of the next four games after that loss against the Caffaliers. What well? I remember we you know, I mean, and some other fans were calling in and you were wait on, you said, they
looked off after that game. They won three of the next four, and the one they lost was a game where they were up twenty one against Milwaukee. Right, we were saying how they were not closing out games, how they were not you know how they how they were letting teams sort of crime in, and I just felt like they completely lost whatever momentum they had from
like winning. Okay, let me let me blow that up. They almost gave the game away against the Hawks before they sat down against the Cleveland Cavaliers, so that trend was already there. It didn't get started because they sat against Cleveland. Okay, Well, could I before I go, could I propose like an ultimate solution? Maybe chair? All right, well, so, yes, I'm interesting and quiet. It's injury is different than what the player I'm about to talk about. But I remember back like a decade ago,
the Phoenix Suns. I think they had like the best medical staff in the league. These people were known to revive like the careers of so many players. I know, I know what you're talking about with Shack and Jason richardson m Yeah, and what they did with like their stars, particularly Steve Nash, is what they had them instead of like load management, which is taken off lately. They had like these guys just play reduced minutes every game.
And to me, again, I know Quiet's injury is different. I I mean, I'm not a medical expert, and I can say it would work with him, But I just wish there was a way that you could put him in every game and still rest. And I feel like that in theories should be possible. Well that would be I don't know. Look, they look at every angle with this stuff. They're doing their due diligence. But again, considering that Kauai looks at worst ninety five percent of what he
was before the ACL, I think I'm going with what they're doing. I think the results speak for themselves. I'm not going to get in the way of that, because I sure didn't think he would be back to this level this soon, Zachary, did you? Yeah? Honestly, is that question? No, I don't think I was. Okay, not sure what I expected, but I mean, yes, I will grant you. He looks
very good when he has played lately. All right, Well, I appreciate the phone call, but he didn't look great and looked a little bit taxed and tired. Against Dallas on Wednesday, so maybe that played a role here. All right, we'll play Lawrence Frank when we come back. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six, nine eight seven two
five seventy is the phone number. Clippers fall one nineteen to one oh six to the Milwaukee Bucks at home small things and dropped the thirty one and twenty eight on the season. And this is Clipper stock. You're only a five seventy old sports actually listening to things in my heart said, heart set right in my bike. It's shot in my bike. Not over thinking my life, not always wanted to rent if I'm a likable person as someone that nobody
likes, not always stressing my money. You're losing my job. I scared. I ain't making a flight, not always going to bed at be night. But it's not in my stomach that never one won what it gave you everything? Do you know I said it, I am better now I bet And now I only said that because he noted a row. You know now I metch you. That's you down, nuts, you down for it gave you y s what it gave you very six. I did not only anyone
well there's an update. Everything came second after the Clippers lose one nineteen to one ZO six to the Milwaukee Bucks at home. Paul George post game in the locker room was asked about adding a traditional point guard and said, quote, if there's somebody out there, Russell Westbrook, if it makes sense and it goes with our team, we're all four. Hopefully Russ sees this and
we figure something out TBD. We'll see. Here's the President of Basketball Operations Executive of the Year two years ago, Lawrence Frank pregame speaking with the Media'll gild you just a glimpse into this and we'll put the whole thing on the podcast later. But here was Lawrence Frank. The like to start just by thanking the three guys that were with us, and we're a big part of the fabric of our organization. As we you never get numb to how painful
it is to trading players. It just thinking about trading people is a is a tough concept there. It's a whole lot more than brainstorms on the computer, you know, widgets. It's these are human beings with lives, with families that you grow very close to, very close to the teammates, people
in the organization. So I want to thank Reggie Luke John with Reggie such an incredible story, a rebirth of a career, you know, kind of the first thing I think about Reggie is just hearing you know, nineteen thousand people chanting his name. Huge reason for leading us to our first conference finals.
Couldn't have done it without him. Last year where we dealt with a lot of injuries, you know, Reggie put on a uniform every single night, and when you look over the last three years, he's actually played the third most games of any Clipper. Have a ton of respect for Reggie. Unbelievable spirit. When we were down O two and both playoff series, like,
he didn't flinch. He had a great attitude about him. Uh. He's a terrific person and he's a great story of Sometimes when you know, you think you think it could be over, you get a chance, you get some people who believe in you, uh, and he took full advantage of it. So it's it's sad to see Reggie go. Uh. Luke, to see his growth in development from the time we traded him, you saw his confidence grow. He's a whole lot more than just an elite shooter.
He's a really good connector on the basketball court. He could dribble, pass and shoot. It's great to see his development as an no bold defender with each year. Uh here he got better. Consummate, prou and very very thankful for what for what Luke means the organization. You know John, who's you know, one of the best point guards of his generation, very very professional, tremely competitive, U handled you know, a different role in
a first class professional way. And have a ton of respect for John both what he what he's done, and also what he is and he still has he still has a lot of basketball left in him. So with that, I open it up to questions, can you get beat with the new players coming in? Like how do you see them fitting in? What are your
expectations for the three new guys coming in? Yeah, I think you know, when you go into the deadline, you before you even put players names to anything, you look at what are the goals and objectives of the deadline and to make sure you're staying within those guard rails. And we're really really excited with the deadline. Is as hard as it is to trade players,
your job is to get the team better. So one of the first objectives we had is we wanted to enhance our playoff rotation and with two way play with someone who can also pass, dribble and shoot and be switchable. The second thing we wanted to do was consolidate our guards. Uh, you know, it just it was a challenge. Just we had so many talented guards that it's tough not to play them all. But yet they didn't quite all fit together, just because they shared some of the same traints, whereas they
also shared some of the same deficiencies. Uh. The third thing we wanted to do was just address some positional needs. Uh, and you know, and then the fourth thing we wanted to do was to add some youth to the roster where you know, we're one of the older, older teams in the league and we want to continue to inject really good young talent. And then the fifth thing we wanted to achieve was we wanted to add some flexibility.
So we're really really happy first within those guidelines, we feel like we've been fortunate that we checked all those boxes. So with each guy with with Eric Gordon, who's no stranger to Clipper fans. The you know, Eric's proven to be able to offensively, be able to play both on and off the ball. Uh He's, you know, not a point guard, but he can initiate an offense. He can run pick and roll, he can make all the different passes out of pick and roll. But one of the
biggest benefits he does is off the ball. He provides as much spacing as any player in the league. He's not a three point shooter. He's a four point shooter. And just and so what happens is and he's he's used to playing with with stars is if you really study how his defender will be next to him, He's very rarely at the nail. If Eric's in the slot, you know he's gonna be hugging it. Just it just gives wider
gaps to attack. He also, as you saw in the game when we played him, if you remember, you don't know what it was, maybe four or five weeks ago, he's an excellent downhill attacker, very similar to Norm in that regard. And we struggle at times when you know, we can get at times a little bit too jump shot, you know, leaning, and you know, he gives us another guy who can get his head on the rim. He's an efficient attacker. The understands had to punished switches.
So we think he can carry a really good load for us, both on and off the ball, and then defense of just because of his his body type and length, he's able to guard up. He's able to switch up. Houston when they were at their best with those teams that that competed with Golden State, they were one of the better switching teams in the league, and they were able to do it with Eric on the floor because he's
able to guard bigger players. And we we kind of built our team around that concept, and especially in the playoffs where switching becomes so much more prevalent than drop, pick and roll defense. We think he's he's a really really good fit in that and he's got playoff experience. He's playing in a number of big games, So we think Eric will fit in seamlessly with Mason. You know, we obviously needed to address, you know, the big position
behind Zoo. You know, Mason's had a career year. His energy. It's a little bit you know, we saw it last year with Isaiah where we're able to take advantage of his passing. You know, I don't know if you know how many well some of you guys have followed us for a long time. But if you remember playoff series when he was with Portland and they had you know, with CJ and Dame, we blitzed them literally every catch because they had Mo Harkless on one wing Amino on the other. And
yet Mason was the one who picked us apart. You know, he's able to he can play in that pocket and that window and attack and make plays. So again, looking towards the playoffs with Kawai and Peg, they're gonna get blitz, we wanted to make sure we had another playmaker at that size. It also helps us because we don't have the pure point guard, another guy who can pass the ball like we saw with Isaiah lash Year. Mason's
a very very good runner. The other thing we liked about Mason, I think it's important in the playoffs that you're able to execute different pick and roll coverages. And with Mason, he can get up. With Charlotte on the side, they ice to a blitz basically a trap they you know, take away the middle and he's got he's got good active feet, he slides well laterally, you know, obviously, I think those who follow Charlotte know,
he's a very improved free throw shoot directly correlated. He started shoot at left handed, you know, so it's his credit. And he's a super high character guy. I got an opportunity to meet him when he was and spent some time with the win who's a rookie. We had Marshall Plumbly his brother here in our G League program. So we're really really excited to welcome Mason and then Bones, Busy Bones. We we kind of fell in love with Bones during the draft process a couple of years ago. The he has a
an enigmatic personality. I think he's gonna be a fan favorite. He plays a game that's an exciting game. He forced his teammates to play fast. He pushes the ball. He's a deep shot taker and maker. He's a really good shooter off the dribble, and he's a whole lot more than just a score if you really break down his game. He's a very very good passer off pick and roll, and he's a very very good weekend left hand passer. He can make all the reads, all the passes. He plays
with a great energy to him. Uh and uh, We're really really excited to add some of like Bones, who you know made I think he was second people All Rookie last year. You know he had some you know, some different things you know for him this year where things did go away, but that's why he was available. So, uh, we're super super excited with with all three guys. You guys came in with championship expectations. How is this group going to compliment Kauai ipg better as far as trying to reach
that goal? And also do you feel like the lack of a true point guard might be something you might be a little concerned about the playoffs? Well, I think the thing is it's a great question. And look, and we obviously were in conversations with quote unquote true point guards and the I think there's when you look at teams and even if you think about the team we're playing tonight, like who's the point guard for the Bucks, Well, you'd
say Drew Holiday. For years people said is Drew like Drew Holidays an All Star? But it is the point guard. You look at the Warriors, like who's the point guard of the Warriors? Is it Steph Curry or is it Draymond Green? You know for the Celtics, you know Marcus Smart, is the point guard. So I guess my point is you play through your best players, and if there was a if there was a point guard that could be in our top eight or nine, you know, you know,
like we we looked at those guys invariably. What's important is we need someone whether they're a point guard or not, is someone who won't be played off the floor defensively, someone who can share some of the ball handling responsibilities but yet not be so ball dominant that you know, the ball's gonna be in quiet PEG's hands sixty percent of the time. So it's a delicate balance.
So I think with it is regardless point guard or not, is getting guys who they've got to be able to shoot because you know in the playoffs where you know, like the Stars, they're not gonna have a lot of space. So we wanted to check that box with Eric the ability to drive a close out because you're gonna see a lot of rotations when people put two on the ball. And then on the other end, can you guard multiple positions?
And so I think whether point guard or not point guard, like, we wanted to get a player like that, because if we didn't get a player like that, whether it was quote unquote a peer point or just a guard. We would have just state status quote and the league. The league has a ton of great point guards. The thing is, it comes down what's the definition, the prototypical definition. There aren't a lot of those guys left. A lot of these guys are scorers first that put two on the
ball, create an advantage, that move it. We built our team around quiet PG and then surround them with complimentary pieces. So I think you look at everything, you try to explore everything. And it's also a competitive trade market. You know you're not you know, you don't just always get the perfect thing, but you look, okay, how can we get the team better? So I think, and this is not a any insinuation on the roster we had prior is I think we we got better. I think subtlely,
with some of the subtle changes made, we've improved. Ultimately, at the end of the day, it's going to come down to, you know, all our players availability, the ability to play well together and to completely buy into what TLO needs them to do. What do you get it all from offer spot? And I'm just sure of how do you view the whether you will fill that buyout market ors, what do how you view sort of that what we need? Yeah, yeah, I'll sit down with with TLU
and just kind of evaluate where we're at. I think, you know, my instinct is to kind of let let's kind of take shape, Let's see what this looks like, see how it fits. Uh, we only have, you know, maybe five six games before the buy out market. Guys have to be brought out by or you know, Wave prior to March one, and but just kind of I'd like to let this marinate a little bit. But I'll sit with Tie and seek see what he thinks and and we'll
kind of proceed from there. It was just sort of was with everything that's happened in the West. Dallas made their move. You saw what that looked like, was in that partially obvious Phoenix to Kevin durand they did that this week being Phoenix, we won't see Kevin either, but they obviously made some moves. A lot of teams made moves, but obviously those are the two that probably are at the top of the list. How did that, if it did at all affect of how you looked at trying to upgrade this roster
this week? Yeah, it didn't have any impact, and someone asked me it was an interview, but asked the same question me is you know, you have to run your own race, and you you have to do what's best for your group. Each team has their players and they have a set of their tools in terms of what they have draft capital. Uh. You know, obviously Phoenix made a huge flash move getting one of the one of the great players to have played this game. You did it in twenty nineteen.
You don't have an unlimited treasure chest, so I think you you do what's best for your group. So for us, like I said, that's why we always kind of we hold ourselves accountable with what are the goals and objectives that we're trying to get done way ahead of the trade deadline. So you don't get that that deal heat that oh my goodness, you know Dallas did this or you know you know another team did that. I think you just you have to run your own race. You have to you have to
do what's best for your group. And our commitment, you know, to Steve to our players, to our staff is to try to give them the best chance we can at competing for your championship year and in year out. If I made just a quick follow you mentioned flexibility. What does that mean specifically for you? See? Uh, well, I don't know. I mean flexibility obviously creates optionality. What it means, I guess the only time will tell. Would you be value to share just a little bit behind the
scenes, because it seemed like the floodgates just opened up. You know, as a fan, you didn't want to go to sleep Wednesday night because the phone was blowing up behind these scenes, What was it like for you? You've had your plan, you thought already what you're you know, when you
were going to pull the trigger on your deals? Yeah? So yeah, so you started weigh in advance in the sense of, you know, you establish from goals and objectives, and then you establish some player targets in terms of you know what your needs are and who would best fit it, and
those dialogues start. You know, it's months of dialogues and because you have to you know, in order for a deal to get done is both teams interests, those circles have to intersect and it has to be a win win for both sides, and it has to make make sense for both teams in
order to be able to create those ideas. You need to really have really good relationships with the other teams to understand what exactly are their needs, what are they trying to get, what are they trying to achieve by the deadline, and then you just start doing some dot connecting, and very similar to to the draft, you have a order of where you're gonna go, and then you have to understand as the timing factor and if you if there's not
enough traction on one deal or you just don't see it happening, you have to quickly pivot. And then the thing is what becomes challenging. And I give an unbelievable amount of credit, we have a terrific front office group. They do all this despite me. I mean they just wake me up to
the end like, look this is who we got. Oh good, but the no, we we really have a great group with with Michael Winger, Trent Wren and Mark Hugh's, Lee Jenkins, our entire strategy group, jud Winton, matallizea, Greg Pime and then so many people behind the scenes are Director of Pro Scouting John Lawyer. So it's it's a collective effort of everyone kind of connecting dots to be able to put these multi team trades together.
And so we were very very fortunate. I mean at three in the morning the you know, I don't even know the days, but like we really didn't look like anything was is gonna be we're able to execute anything. And then even as I'd say as late at eight thirty in the morning, nine in the morning, like I didn't look and then things start to come together and you have to move quickly, but you're not able to be nimble and
fast if you don't have a plan. And it's it's very process driven because again it's very easy to get deal heat and you have to be disciplined, and especially in our situation where we don't have the full treasure chest, you know, and you have to you have to understand how to manage your assets because you're you're you're consistently trying to get better. But you also you can't be so nearsighted that that you make some some foolish decisions. That's what I
feel like. Obviously, point guard is an important role, especially for a team with with the wings starting that you guys have, and Tis talked about wanting to use a point guard to traditional point guard to quote unquote, this
washer doesn't necessarily have that, so I'm curious. I mean it's a maybe maybe builds, but how what would the I guess collect conversations going on about having that true point guard out there because Ty said, you know, he likes that traditional point guard versus not happen one because I think right now you guys don't really have a Yeah. Well, I think the thing is the I think you know, you look at the I guess quote true point guards. You know how many of them were traded? You know? So I
think there were two? Right? Other teams also value the position, So I think what you do is if you're not in a position to obtain them, it's not for lack of trying. You ultimately then have to be okay, how can I get the team better if I can't get this position, because I think and the playoffs are a great revealer in that you could get a backup point guard or two point five or a third point guard who may have the skill sets because a point guard in today's day is completely different than
what it was ten years ago. I mean, other than maybe a couple of teams, everyone basically runs the same stuff there. There's not there's not the intricate, complicated patterns being run as much these days, and it's like scorings up. It's a free flowing game. So I guess the question is, would you rather have a backup point guard who has limitations in other errors or would you rather have a better player who's going to be in your top eight? Now, the ideal thing is you have that, you know,
whether it's a point guard or whatever position that can do both. But if you don't have, if you can't acquire that guy, like you got to find other ways to do it. And I guess even my point earlier, when you really study the league, you know, like there's the term point guard is a very very vague term. So to me is what you do is you always build your team around your best players and get complimentary skill sets.
Because if let's say we had a ball dominant point guard who couldn't you know, who had other limitations, Well, how does that impact your stars? So I think it's like TYNEI dialogue every day and we try to do everything in our power to be able to get him what he needs. And like in any relationship, if you if those guys aren't available or they're not being traded or another team gets them. Well, you gotta be you gotta pivot. You know, you can't just say bug, you know like that.
No, that's the job and the job is you have to be creative in different ways. And so it's it's it's an unbelievable process because you just you just got to be very creative and figure figure things out together. Thinks. So my pleasure, guys, have a great night. There was a president of Basketball Operations, Lawrence Frank, speaking about the three players they acquired and Eric Gordon, Mason, Plumley and Bones Highland at the trade deadline.
His entire press conference. I'll add it to the Clippers Talk podcasts coming up. I'll have that upload within the next twenty minutes before we get out of here quickly. Jose and Southgate, who called in before the game even started. Jose, what's up. I'm glad we didn't eat let go of Charnce Man. Of course, I'm hurt that we let Red d Red g go.
But I feel like we addressed on the team's heels. Yes, Se reveals and that's as we could, especially since Irvan and Duran here in the West, we're looking for more couple point guard Reggie and Wat weren't sad. Goose is the young point guard, so he's gonna be looking to set up the offense, to set up screens before he looked for a shun like Warren Reggie. So let's see with all of the team knows so real quick, where credit words due? Uh? No, you already know, from the
from the Atlanta to the Detroit to the Washington game. Reggie Jackson, you already know, Reggie. Okay. And then one last thing, my bad, you know, Adam, you have me waiting forever. One last things playing plans. I was hoping that'd be the last name. Thank you, Jose. Clippers lose tonight. They got three days off time to implement these new players.
