Clippers Talk with Adam Auslund after they lose in Overtime 135-130 in Chicago.

Transcript

Parents Madness chure 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 voice of the LA Clippers, Adam Ostler. Oh, I know what you're thinking, Clipper Nation. That was some bowl. That's the Clippers loseing ot in Chicago one thirty five to

one thirty. Welcome in to Clippers Talk. I'm Adam oslind eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the full number I'm at. Follow Adam a on Twitter as well. Coming up, you're gonna hear from the head coach and the player's post game plus doctor Shap will be here from the Lab, the Jam the Pod to help us dissect this one. After I've said it a few times already, the Clippers look like they gave a game away, leading as many as sixteen.

They also looked like they had a game taken away with some brutal calls that went against them late. How often do we talk about the refs here on Clippers Talking, No my much, But tonight there were four calls from the end of the fourth quarter and into overtime that are just tough to overcome. Yes, the Clippers were up by sixteen, not a lot in today's game, with how hot teams can get, we usually only count Clippers comebacks

when they're down by twenty or more. But it's tough to lose a ball game when you shoot fifty percent from the field and go sixteen of thirty six yourself from the outside, which the Clippers did forty four percent, and somehow they found a way. But up by three with seven point two seconds left in regulation, they had a chance to put it away, and instead they called a foul away from the play after they reviewed it and overturned it. At first, it was a common foul from Terrence Man, who was on

DeMar Derozen with minimal contact. They usually on inbound passes like that, especially big plays at the end of games. They let guys get a little more handsy, a little more physical. Somehow they called one of the most ticky tack fouls on Terrence Man, and because they said the ball was not being passed, it was before it crossed the baseline and the inbounds pass was made it was a foul away from the play. That means Chicago gets a free

throw in the ball. Well, DeMar Derosen would hit the free throw Bulls had the ball was seven seconds left still and he gets fouled by PG thirteen minimal contact on a three pointer, goes the line, hits the first two to tie the game at one eighteen. Somehow after making his first ten free throws. Well, here's the final call. Bulls okay, I got okay, dooked. I thought we had the final call of Demardurosen missing that final

one. Here's no eagle. Derosen has the ball in his hands, spins the ball's dribbles four times, bends the knees, releases, missed it long prebound, poked around. Morris saves it, and we are going to overtime. Unbelievable turn of events. His first miss of the night after making his first ten, and we have bonus basketball in Chicago, one eighteen apiece.

So maybe you would like to say balto lie Botto lie Rashid Wallace style and the Clippers escaped, getting five extra minutes minutes in ot to find a way to win this one. Anyways, But because Paul George already hit his minute's limit at thirty two. He was not available, and it felt like the

Bulls had a four point cushion throughout the entire five minutes of overtime. They would win by five at one thirty five to one thirty as DeMar dear Rosen goes for fifty and went fourteen of fifteen from the free throw line the Bulls. The lone miss from that member of the Bulls, DeMar de Rosen came in the biggest spot, but he came through late anyways, and the Clippers

lose a heartbreaker. And in overtime there was an offensive foul that was curious on Marcus Morris, and even more curious a bit of a head scratcher was Derozen getting the call and they said he was in the act of shooting and it wasn't even close. The last two minute report, the NBA is not gonna like this one because it's gonna look like the Chicago Bulls got four crucial

plays that went in their favor late. Now nobody's gonna cry for the Clippers and they got to get right back up on the horse and figure things out tomorrow in Milwaukee against the Honest Dad and Koumpo and the Bucks and Yannis just passed Kareem Abdul Jabbar for most points in franchise history as a member of the

Milwaukee Bucks. Tonight did so in style. But this was a really difficult loss at the end of the season where the Clippers played phenomenal for forty minutes, you could say, and they had their chances to put Chicago away, who battled back and made multiple runs that the Clippers were able to keep at bay and answer with a run of their own. But late when they had a lead, and we're hitting three pointers in that fourth quarter and we thought

one of these is going to be the dagger. And Paul George, by the way, not available in overtime, had eight of their last ten points in regulation. He was doing it all, but he got called for the foul and de Rosen on that three pointer, and the Clippers end up giving one away. They're usually on the other side of these comebacks, not tonight. They lose both games to Chicago this season, and DeMar derozen torched them

in both games. And there were some really good performances. Reggie Jackson with thirty four points and he goes six of nine from three, most he's ever made in the game is seven six of nine. Though absurd shooting, it's just twenty three shots to get those thirty four points. Marcus Morris bounced back after having just three points Tuesday night, and coach lou post game and we'll hear from him coming up, blamed himself for not getting Marcus involved early or

not getting him in a rhythm and engaged in the offense. And that's twenty five point come back against Utah tonight. Marcus Morris had five points within the first couple of minutes. He had already scored more than he did all of Tuesday night. He finished with twenty had fourteen of those at the half, went seven or twelve from the field. Big Zoo had some huge throwdowns, including one in ot He finished with eleven and nine. Even though he wasn't

foul trouble five personal still played thirty two minutes. I thought Roco he had a big offensive rebound, hit a big three pointer. Nick Batoum was amazing with three blocks, two of them on zach Lavine block tomb. But Tombo was out there tonight also. He goes four of eight from distance, had four of the Clipper sixteen, made three pointers and somehow they's just unraveled at the wrong times in opportune times. They made some fatal mistakes and they had

a couple of calls go against him. Let's go to Javier and Lahabra Heights your first up here on Clippers Talk. Javier. What's up? Javier good? Good? A couple of things here. Tay Lou at the last four minutes, I think he lost the game. I mean, I'm he's been doing it the whole year. But I mean, man, I know you said that I was in a foul, but regardless, why is Man he didn't play the whole fourth quarter, he was coming off the bench. Why

you have him guard the rosen? You should have had him Covington should have been guarding the rosen. I mean, I don't blame Man. He came to the game cold and and like you said, it was in a foul. But whatever, it should have been Covington. That's number one, number two Marcus Morrison. I know he had what he had. What makes seven out of ten? He kind of bounced back, but honestly, he was another minus seven at him. I don't know the love fest for Marcus honestly,

he's a good player. But it's like, you know, if he doesn't shoot, well, what else did he do good? At him? Does he rebound? Does he play defense? Did he take target? I would say yes? Would I would say yes? He plays defense? Savier. I know he didn't have a great game on that end, and he really struggled Tuesday night. But if a guy's seven or twelve from the field and has twenty points, I know he was a minus seven in there, but some of that could just be wrong plays, wrong time. Uh.

It's it's interesting to pick and choose when to use the plus minus. I tend to do so when there's something positive for the Clippers. It's a tough stat because you could be the guy on the court that just happened to be there when somebody else got hot and went on a run like the Marta Rose, and then it could have nothing to do with you. You understand what I'm saying. No, no, I'm inderstaying, But I mean the way the way I'm looking at the way the Clopers aretaining lately. This is this

is my opinion. I don't know, but the last four minutes these five players should be playing the last four minutes, Riggie Jackson, but Tune Cumpington, Paul George and Luke Pernard. I mean, this is even without Kawai and how so it just I don't know why he has Morris playing the last four minutes. As soon as he came in the game, Adam I was like, oh man, here you go, and look what happened. They lost the lead, but you know it is what it is. All right,

we'll talk to you tomorrow. I just I just had to get that off my chest, all right, ibber, I appreciate it. Look, Paul George was a minus night out there. Are you gonna say you don't want him in the game. He was the one trying to will them to victory late and had eight of their last ten points before Rocco hit a couple of free throws late in regulation. But it's a gut punch. It's just one of those heartbreaking losses that shouldn't happen and don't very often to the Clippers,

where a team comes back on them and they let up. But it did tonight and to Marta Rosen was special. Put up a fifty spot as good as Reggie Jackson was, as good as Morris was at times as good as Paul George was down the stretch tomorrow, was the best player on the floor tonight, And sometimes you gotta tip your cap and say, okay, by the way they were plus nineteen, that was the best in the plus MNA's category when DeMar dear Rosen was out there, which all right, that

makes sense. That lines up with the eye test. Obviously, the guy played forty three minutes. Clippers had their chances, but they ran out of time, and Paul George did with the minutes restriction in his second game back after missing three and a half months. Maybe it's different if he's there with them in overtime. Maybe it's different if one of those four whistles I mentioned do not go against the Clippers in a game this closed down the stretch,

those calls were impactful. And I don't say much about the refs ever on here, but look, that two minute report is going to be ugly in favor of the Chicago Bulls when it comes out tomorrow. It just is. And Terrence Man's a good defender, and I don't have a problem with him going up against Demard Rosen there and I he barely touched him. You just never see that call. It's just rare and revs can have an off night too. It happens, Clippers will lose one thirty five to one thirty and

overtime in Chicago. They're in Milwaukee tomorrow. Coming up on the show, we'll hear from Coach Lou. Doctor Shap will be here from the Lob, the Jam, the pod tough onhe Clipper National. We'll get back to your phone calls. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number of Madam Oslin and this is a five seventy. Other sports in the pack to school and now you fellas we will go? Is this elementary in the clump Timer Hawks slam.

You're listening to Los Angeles Clippers basketball. He goes all the way of the ram a sky scraping jams. This is the official home of your LA Clippers. Baby Mom was mom? Yeah, Miss Jackson, mister Jackson. Reggie had thirty four, but the Clippers loses. Demarg Rosen has fifty and the Bulls win in OT one thirty five to one thirty after the Clippers led by as many as sixteen led by three seven point two seconds left. They let this one get away from them. A couple of bad calls went against them.

I know there's gonna be some frustration tonight Clipper Nation. I can completely understand that because I'm not really used to seeing the Clippers be the victims of a team coming back on them. Let shoes on the other foot now, and they played well enough to win this game. Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy. We'll hear from coach lou coming up. I'm interested to hear what he said about

the officiating. Lady. Now, I don't have to worry about getting fined, my man, Yes, you do all right, well in a way. I have to watch my words. But four calls, awful calls, tiki tech weeak calls on the Clippers, and then that continuation or they called it in the act of shooting with Tomarta Rosen and overtime that wasn't even close.

It's tough one to swallow, all right, Tags and Walnut, you're on Clippers stop without amslin Hey, tags, and I don't hold your breath on a on a two minute report Man, the NBA doubles down on ninety percent of their calls. Yeah, that happens as well sometimes, but some of these were so blatently awful. I could see the call with Terrence Man them somehow saying yeah, there was there was enough contact there. You can

always find something. It's such a judgment call. But the offensive foul and Marcus Morrison overtime and Demarta Rosen getting that called a shooting foul was just bizarre. Yeah, I mean it kind of reminds me back of that Cleaning game where a mirror guff followed at the end and NBA Tuman reports there wasn't a foul. Then the Toronto game kind of got flashbacks of those with these calls. Yeah, that a mirror one. Yeah, that's a great point.

That was, without a doubt, an easy call and it was not made. And I always say, look, call it the same way for forty eight minutes so players aren't thrown off. Just give them consistency out there. Don't swallow your whistle late just because you don't want to affect the game or you feel like you're the one making the decision or getting a team a win or a loss. Because if you don't make the same calls you're making earlier in the game, you're also deciding the game to some extent. That's how

I feel about it. Oh, I agree. Before getting to my point, I wanted to on that after the week, here's Niffel. So when when Rosa shot that three, where did they call the fell? Was it that he didn't let him land? Pete didn't let the Rosa land or was it up top on his hand? Because I got to see the replay briefly, it looked like he's just landed clean. I mean, I mean there was no contact. I mean, yeah, I mean it's got to be impeding landing space. It's it's the Kauai Zaza Petulia rule. Uh from twenty

seventeen. That because I didn't see any contact outside that. Yeah, And okay, moving on from though that frustrating final ten seconds, I was gonna ask you one, what did you think about Tyler coined that time out when Covington got the offensive rebound. I wasn't thrilled about that time out usually, you know, kind of like what Tyler really does. But I thought it didn't really come into effect, you know, during this game. But I

thought that was the curious timeout because they didn't have any more timeouts. They had to they were going to play that foul game at that time. I could have came in, Andy, what'd you think about that? Yeah, in hindsight, they're up three, it's one fourteen to one to eleven. He calls that time out with forty seconds left, But I'm sure he just wanted to reiterate or remind the guys situational basketball and exactly what they're gonna do,

and unfortunately it ended up. I love the idea. I never want to see a team get off a three point or down three when you could foul and put them to the free throw line. But obviously they thought Terrence Man jumped the gun, fouling before the ball was inbounded. Foul away from the play is called one shot and the ball. That was just disastrous.

It was just it was a nightmare. Uh yeah. And I'm guessing now because usually Taylor lakes to keep that one time out for challenges, and it would have been nice to challenge that three point foul at the end if they had to, and see, you know, if the rest would have doubled down on that. We'll see if coach lu talks about post game he is has no version of calling himself out when there are mistakes made. But I

don't know if you could necessarily say that was a mistake. It was a different philosophy and it didn't pan out this time because really other external factors that went against them. I would say, yeah, And the positive is it's nice to see, well, two things one before I think about the positives. I didn't like five, but all right, I didn't like. I like the execution when they were driving, kind of running the plays. A few times they got two stagnants settled for some outside shots, which I think

they'll get better. Paul George is still getting a rhythm. But positive is seeing Roco, the toomb and PG on the floor together and the defensive end really creates have it nasty. All right, thank you, tag, I appreciate the phone call. Yeah, those three with the length they have even it's funny. Coach Lewis talked about this before, but when we go small,

we're still big because of just the wingspan and the wings stop. As Clipper Nation likes to call this team, the versatility out there with long athletic defenders, just a bunch of Scottie Pippins and Roco h It's like he was born at Clipper. I don't know if he's played even ten games yet. I'm gonna say no as a Clipper, but man, has he been good for this team and hopefully they figure out a way to keep him long term. All Right, Tay's just there home. Now it's gonna Morris and long

beach. Morris, what's up, hey, Adam, check this out. I'm gonna tell what was different about this game tonight. The Clippers wasn't playing from behind tonight. Okay, that was a difference, and I believe, believe it. They're gonna be all right, They're gonna be okay. They were up ten after the first quarter. Morris, it was like cats and dogs living together. Everything was upside down. The Clippers actually got off to a hot start. Well, they're showing you what the what the what?

The team came to do what they can do. No, Powell's coming back because we got another soldier coming back. Now. I don't really want to say that. Chicago's told this game the Utah Metropolitan Police they're looking for the Clippers right now. Okay, you saw what the Clippers did in Utah. It happens to everybody, and what happened to us in this overtime game was we lost our All Star, but they had theirs. I believe me, if you had your boy PG thirteen on the four, we would have won

this game. But I'm in press because we wasn't playing from behind. So that's an improvement. Thanks for this time, Adam behave yourself, Morris, thank you. I'd try. Yeah, they're still not fully loaded. It does sound like Norman Powell will rejoin the team at some point here at the end of the regular season, but there's five games remaining. The Clippers actually to make it eleven straight years. They already have the longest winning streak out

of any NBA team. They've been above five hundred for ten straight seasons. They're trying to make it eleven. But now to do so, they're gonna have to run the table. They gonna have to win their last five games, and I don't know what the sense of urgency is going to be with that. When you're pretty locked in and entrenched and embedded VTB style into that eighth seed, it looks like they're gonna be there whether or not they win

five straight or lose five straight. Now they'll probably have to win at least a couple more to make sure the Pelicans don't catch up to them, or the Lakers or the Spurs. But all those three are all three of those scenarios pretty unlikely. All right, we'll take a quick time out. We'll

come back. We'll get to more of your phone calls. Jose hold on, mystery caller, hold on, we'll get to you at eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy hunting for that coach low audio Doctor Shap will be here next from the Lob, the Jam the Pod.

I'm autam Moslin to eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. We'll get back

to your phone calls in just moments. Still looking for postgame audio from coach lou but right now join the show. I think Jar did that beat. It is doctor Schap from the lob, the jam the pod. It's a good doctor. Back in the building, doctor Schapp. Okay, I guess we're not at Crypto dot com arena, but back on the show. I appreciate you, man. How you doing tonight better than the last two minute report is going to be doing? Look am I wrong for saying there were

four brutal calls? The foul away from the play on Terrence Man, the PG foul on Demarta Rosen on the three de Marcus Moore's offensive rebound. Never saw a replay of it, but didn't look like much in overtime, and then Demarta Rosen gets an active shooting call, where in no way was he putting that ball up as he was just driving down the lane. It looked

like who's about to pass into somebody? A kickout? Maybe this was as bad outside the Cleveland game and how that ended with a mere coffee not getting the call. It was just a tough night overall for the officials and the Clippers not exactly being on the right side of some of them. Yeah, I mean those last two calls, the Marcus offensive foul and the and the Reggie and the region I guess they called that was called a continuation are shooting

foul? That that was kind of ridiculous, honestly, Terrence. I saw the replay. I saw the replays right in front of the ref and he was a little bit handsy. It's it's it's one of those that if it didn't happen like I wouldn't be surprised, But if I saw a replay at my oh boy, he was. He was a little bit touchy on it. I kind of get why they called it in the PG one not not enough airspace on that triple. I think there's more of a debate with those

two. The last couple were were not great, especially that offensive foul, and I'm not really getting too mad at the refs for this one. I think the Clippers kind of shot themselves in the foot a little bit on that last play unfortunately, and yeah, it just wasn't there n you know,

honestly shooting fifty forty ninety splits for the team. It's it's it's tough to imagine that the Clippers would have lost that game, but when you got that kid from Compton going off for fifty, uh, it would have and surprising if they lost that game too, then him kind of dragging them across the

finish line. They were a desperate team. Kudas to DVR. He was great to show you how much the Clippers really wanted to how much of this was like a win over process because George didn't play the last five minutes, so they really just wanted to get good process out there for those first three

quarters. I think they did it. There was a little bit too much of maybe George just taking Caruso in isolation in those last few possessions in the fourth quarter, he actually finally kicked it out to Reggie and Reggie got as

clean of a look as I'll take. I mean, that shot would have closed the game right there, and it was just off and that was the good stuff you wanted to see instead of maybe taking you know, one of the best perimeter defenders in the league in isolation, and Paul George had a couple of midies that didn't work out from against it was Caruso, who was just a beast on defense. What a way on a second night in on the road to have Caruso just up in his chest that whole fourth quarter,

especially with George initiating that fourth quarter over Terrence Man. It's just it's a tough loss, and I think it's going to hurt a lot of Clipper fans now, but I'm hoping in the grand scheme of things, it's just going to be an unfortunate loss, but a lot of good process and a lot of good film to review and just kind of stings a lot more than it

will show into standings. Doctor Chap is our guest from the Lab, the Jam, the Pod after the Clippers losing overtime one thirty five to one hundred in Chicago, Doctor Chap, you talk about that process, and offensively, it just looks like, well, Paul George is obviously a cheat code, but everybody else just gets to sink into their roles a little bit deeper now and be who they're used to being, be the players and starring in their

roles like they have when they're next to superstars like Kauai and Paul George and a guy like Norman Powell when he comes back. But offensively obviously you mentioned the first three quarters. I think they had ninety two points or something like that through the first thad quarters. They were executing at a very high level. And to me, the difference was just guys getting cleaner looks off of Paul George. Yeah, two on the ball at him. It's a difference

when Reggie Jackson and he did. He was valiant in that overtime of getting to the getting to the paint, collapsing the defense and kicking me out. He got some good looks out there. Nico be two missed a clean look. Reggie miss clean look too late in overtime, Aggie, Reggie miss a clean look. So there were looks, but Reggie, you know, we saw kind of the difference. Reggie had to really get in the paint and

work off pick and roll and try and really attract the defense there. Paul George, just by measure of being Paul George, he'll get a screen and two will come at him right away, and that's going to create open looks two one the ball. And when you get somebody jumping out to trap Paul George, who's a good pastor, he's gotten better as a pastor during his ten year as a clipper, you're going to get open looks. And that's what we got. We got a lot of clean Reggie looks. He was

six for nine and three. Uh. You know, Nico was four for eight. Nard was only two for five, which is bad for him. But you know, we got a ton of great looks. We had a

lot of good Marcus Morris early on. But really just importantly the team was sixteen for thirty six from what was really good ball movement entirely because teams are going to trap Paul George, you know, and when teams trap him so high up and he's able to swing with a bunch of smart heavy players or even a guy like Hardenstein, who on the short role can find guys because of his great passing ability, it's going to open things up for everybody.

And we saw all those clean looks thirty six three today, sixteen for thirty six, and there was just the point of the game where they were just rolling and unfortunately they didn't pull off this win. But it was really refreshing to see the Clippers be the Clippers again, and unfortunately they even had some of the same problems they've had done the stretch of some games with Paul George where there was a little, maybe a touch of hero ball and not enough

passing away a good shot for a great one. Yeah, you mentioned Hardenstein on those short roles he had to kick out for the big three for Luke Kennard. And I looked this up after that because I've been wanting to research this for a while. But as good as Luke Kennard is shooting forty five percent from three on the season, he shoots fifty percent from three in fourth

quarters. It was just an eye test. It was just a guess that he shoots his best latent games because it always feels like he hits a big three pointer during Clippers comebacks. Obviously did in the twenty five point come back Tuesday night. But Paul George also had a couple of really nice passes, a no look pass or Reggie Jackson right underneath the hoop and the third quarter another kind of no look pass to Isaiah Hartenstein right at the end of a

play for a big dunk. And I know he had five turnovers, but he had some five. He had five assists that were special. Speaking of Nick Batoum, and those three blocks, two of them on Zach mcviene. I mean, he looks as good as ever and he was playing big minutes thirty eight in this one. But him and Rocco together on the court with Paul George, even when they go small, they're not really small. It's different. It's a big small. I think that's what coach lu likes to

say. Yeah, you know, Rocco and Nico, and Nico is playing on a bomb ankle and he still he still did all this was questionable coming in those two together. And I have to think that Ty is holding something by holding Robert Covington to just about twenty or so minutes pretty consistently. I know he wasn't big on the plus minus for once today, but Rocco out

there with Nico and with Paul George. Just the connectivity on any sort of help defender on the back line, just kind of knowing where the ball's going versus you know, if we have a guy like Marcus sometimes makes some mistakes. That all together, connectivity of the defense just really takes a huge notch up, and then you have Terrence up there, who's also really heavy defenders

become a better defender. It's it's really exciting to see those three together, and it's really tantalizing to imagine why Leonard out there with them one of these days. It's just really really exciting to see them. I know they went full wingstop very briefly, and to end that quarter, I think it was a third and or maybe it was a second, I believe, and I think Lusovic had had a you know, put up a layup and we didn't

really get to see much of it. But it's exciting the idea of them going small because I think you can make an argument about Robert Covington just being sometimes even a better all around center quote unquote than Isaiah Harden signed at times, just because of his rebounding, his defense, you know, just just his intangibles at heart can bring a lot of on offense, but sometimes it's

up and down on defense. So Covington, I think in the play in and hopefully the playoffs, is gonna hopefully get an increased role here because everybody is just dying for it. And I know Tyler and his coaching staff are going to make sure that they optimize their rotations as much as possible. So I'm excited for it, and I think Nico was great today. He looked really spry for somebody who came in questionable, Doctor chaff final one for you.

What else are you looking for in the last five games here from the Clippers? And we don't know if Paul George is going to be available tomorrow. I think most people are leaning towards no. It's a back to back. He just came back. But what type of rhythm or what type of signs do you need to see from the Clippers to go okay? This team is ready. They're peaking at the right time or as much as they can

given who's available. I mean, honestly, seeing George at the level that he was against Utah and even at Flashes today where he was doing a good job playing decoy, it is really exciting. It'd be great if they could tighten up a little bit of their process and the fourth quarters, and if George could, you know, I think hero ball and stuff like that, especially against a good defender. Sometimes that tends to happen when things are tight

in a fourth quarter and you're getting to clutch time and everything. But it would be really nice to see some more bad movement in a little bit more open shots because we have guys around George who can hit hit shots too. I'm not saying that George doesn't trust everybody. I'm sure he does because it's Paul George and he's been playing with these guys. But I love the Reggie

Jackson shot. You know, that's a kind of shot. Then when you have Alex cruising on you and another guy is coming because he's too small to guard you in the post. That's the kind of stuff that I'd love to see swung out to rather than a tough mid range jumper from George. It's just that kind of quiet, subtle process stuff where if somebody if there's a double coming, you know, swing, swing, swing, all that stuff that we're used to being beautiful couper basketball, like we saw in a lot

of that third quarter. What's kind of the stuff you want to consistently get and being able to feel the defense a little bit. It just comes with reps, and I think a little bit of what broke down in the fourth quarter you could felt if you open the lack of reps of game was still Bears if it wasn't for that little bit of a mistake down the stretch. But it would be nice to see a little bit more of that with George out there with the lineup, and then hopefully with some luck with Powell maybe

to close the season. But with George and the team, just some more reps. I think it's just more good process, just more of the stuff that we love to see with them. You know, if a double's coming in, George is gonna get doubles, it's get a better shot. It would be nice to see that a little bit more consistently, because I felt like the team was just flowing with that in the third quarter, and it

kind of halted a little bit more in that fourth. So that stuff that you're kind of looking out for, just the stuff that makes you kind of

do like a chef's kiss, you want more of it. Yeah, I think part of the problem there, Doctor Chap was Paul George had just scored eight straight, so he thought he had it going, but it was mostly going to the basketting games, to the free throw line, and yeah, maybe settled a little bit there that could have had some better shots late, but hopefully, as you mentioned, good process overall, and this can be one of those lessons they learn from and they can apply down the stretch here

and into the plane and hopefully into the playoffs. He is doctor Schapp follow him at the lob the jam. The pod does it with rich Homie Flam, big Shot, Bob Flam and Luke his hand and Jamal Christopher and who am I thinking up? Joey Lynn stacked wings stop there too, Doctor shaff, I appreciate you coming on tonight. Man is always a pleasure, has always at him coming up next. We got one more time out. We'll

come back. We'll blow out these phone calls eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy Jose Zach Clippers lose by five and overtime telephone Clipper Nation. We'll talk about tomorrow's contest as well. In Milwaukee, you're listening to Clippers stock. I'm out of Oslin and this ZAM five seventy l A Sports Time, a Hawks Slam. You're listening to Los Angeles Clippers basketball. He goes

all the way of the ram sky scraping jams. This is the official home of your LA Clippers Clippers losing overtime by five till one thirty in Chicago. Welcome back in the Clippers stock. I'm out of Oslin. Before we get out of here tonight, let's get tippy phone calls Harold in North Hollywood. Harold, what's up? How are you? I'm good, Harold, good to time. Question. Yeah, you think we'll see Kawhi Leonard next year and playing full times? If he's one hundred percent. I think there's a

chance, Harold, we might see him this year. Still, he has not been shut down for the season, so well, what's the chances of him coming back this season? Who would you give the percentage? Oh, I don't want to put a number on it, and I'm just hopeful. I'm just trying to be optimistic here. But we saw that workout a couple of weeks ago in Golden State. He was doing a shoot around for an hour in front of the media. And he's almost at nine months removed from

the surgery partial ACL tear. Hoping for the best. We'll see. Let's go to Zach in Long Beach. Zach, you're on Clippers stock. What's up? What's a salty? A big sand by the way, appreciate you holding it down for Clippers Mason all these years. I just want to know you were talking about we have to run the table to go above five hundred,

obviously not likely with the back to back Milwaukee tomorrow. Do you think that's something that could be like the final mail that doesn't get Tylu Coach of the Year, or as Taylor Jenkins kind of already wrapped it up, what do you think. I think it's likely Taylor Jenkins. I thought JB. Bickerstaff might have it, and that was the vote from coach lu of course too humble, you ain't gonna vote for himself. But earlier in the season when Cleveland, you know, they were in the top four in the East,

but they've fallen off. They've had some injuries too. I think Memphis being the two seed and what they've been able to do without John Morant going nineteen in two. I think it's Taylor Jenkins. We know how good of a coach though Coach Luiz and the way he has maximized the talent on this with this squad all season long, and I wouldn't want anybody else. Ye like it's Tylu. I'm comfortable with it being Taylor Drinking's big bad man.

Hope to get that followed back on Twitter one day. I appreciate you. Oh, hit me up. I'll follow you back, Zach. Let's go to Jose and south Gate to close things out. I'm at follow Adam a on Twitter. By the way, Jose, what's up? What's up? Adam? Hey? First of all, I'll have a Twitter, but one day I will catch you at the game one seventeen section. I'll see you soon. Anyways, at him, man, it's no, it's no tough loss. I didn't I didn't even look at the Lakers score real quick.

To me, you feel better, But it took a fifty piece and a bad call. And I think, I don't know if you or Noah said it, but we're being out reinbounded at the same time, and we still put up all this. We put up a fight, and you know, Paul George's Matt. But I take you to the next game. There's one thing I want to say. We are gonna win tomorrow, and we are gonna win the last games because a lot of teams are shooting in their superstars down getting a ready. We're not. We're not where you know, we're

already rolling. Paul Georges is hopping back into the Hopscott thing, you know, and we're going baby Let's dog Clippers, Jose and south Gate to close things out there more positivity. He's got the Clippers winning in Milwaukee tomorrow,

and it's a good point. As tough as the schedule is in these last five outside the last two Okay See and Sacramento Kings, both I've been struggling this season, but these next three games against tough teams that may not have a lot to play for it. So we'll see Clippers losing OT one thirty five to one thirty. They're in Milwaukee tomorrow, tip time at five Clippers count down for youa same time four pm. Before we get out of here.
