Karen's badness ure 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 Osler. Now they say nothing runs like a deer, and the Milwaukee Bucks would run away with this one late. They go on to win one thirty seven to one thirteen over the Clippers and Norman Powell's debut. Welcome in
to Clipper Stock. I'm Adam Oslin to eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number? Okay, maybe a cheetah. It's John Deer's slogan. I don't know. Coming up. We'll get to your phone calls here. Morris is online, who else? Hivier is already online. We'll also hear from the head coach and hopefully have some postgame audio from your newest Clippers Norman Powell and Robert
Covington, and those guys played great and offensively. The Clippers put up one hundred and thirteen points, even with a nineteen points second quarter. But if you want to look at where this game was lost. It was the Clippers going just over five minutes scoreless in that second quarter without Norman Powell, who
got into foul trouble early, had three thousand first seven minutes there. But Powell finished with twenty eight points on nine of sixteen, shooting four of eight from the outside, and gave Clipper Nation a glimpse of things to come. And it'll come more often in wins than not. But the Milwaukee Bucks also one thing they can do. I've talked about it and my blueprint for success is shoots the three ball. They take a lot of them, they make
a lot of them. Yesterday in Portland they hit twenty three three pointers. Tonight, I said the Clippers have to be good on the perimeter because if Milwaukee gets it going, look out. But in that first half they were just five of eighteen from distance twenty eight percent. The problem was things would progress to the mean and then some they hit fourteen of their twenty three pointers in the second half, or they went fourteen at twenty in the second half.
That's seventy percent from distance, just a ridiculous number. Pat Collins and at one point hit three in a Row in the third quarter. Clippers got down by as many as twenty six, but it's tough to beat a team that ends up shooting fifty percent from the outside. Even with the Clippers going
eighteen to forty six from distance, that's just under forty percent. But nineteen made three pointers and timely ones to stop Clippers runs when they had it down to within nine on a tippit from Robert Covington in the fourth quarter, and then Drew Holiday another bruin like Norman Powell. Well, he had eleven of his twenty seven points in that fourth hit some tough shots. He's a killer. He's a Clippers killer. He's been in a thorn in their side for
a long time. So have the Milwaukee Bucks to the entire league. They are the defending champ. She saw some of that championship DNA. Bobby Portis had another good game, had thirty yesterday had twenty four, and this one Jannis didn't put up monster numbers, just as his average twenty eight ten five on a eight of fifteen shooting. But the other guys, the other guards
and Bobby Portis played some big time basketball. He had ten of his what was it twenty eight points in the fourth quarter, twenty four points in the fourth quarters. So when the Clippers made their run when they had it to within nine, Bobby Portis and Drew Holiday answered it. Connington hit another three pointer. He went six of nine by himself. But the Clippers in that second quarter, going five minutes over five minutes scoreless, that really did them
in. They just couldn't afford to have a shooting slump like that against a potent offense and a great defense that the Milwaukee Bucks possess. And they have been quietly flying on the radar. Maybe that's redundant. They have been flying under the radar, but for a team that's the raging champs with the raigning Finals MVP, two time regular season MVP, and nannies Denakopo, it's unusual to see. And they're thirty four and twenty one now. They got off
to a s little start. I believe they were six and six. They had some injuries. Chris Middleton started off slow at just seventeen points on this one, but he's been much better as of late, and the Clippers did not have an answer for them on the defensive end. Some of that could be because new pieces out there. God's just not being connected yet, not being in sync. Not a lot of synergy. But if you had any questions about the trade on Friday for Norman Powell, I mean, why would
you to begin with? But he answered all of them. He is an absolute stud. Twenty eight points in twenty four minutes and doing it efficiently. Just took sixteen shots to get those twenty eight points. He's and I always say this because he's a former Clipper, He's like a more efficient Lou Williams that plays defense at times. That's what he looks like. He can just
go get a bucket for himself. He also had a nice pass Robert Covington after his offensive rebound on a misshot that led to a big three point to put it to within eleven and the fourth quarter. Those two, of course already have that chemistry built up from being in Portland together, but it was nice to see the two man game with them being the guys leading the Clippers back in that fourth quarter when a lot of Clippers look. Marcus Morris had
a really big first half. I want to say he had fourteen of his twenty points in that first half, still finished five of eight from distance. Again, he's finding his rhythm. But Reggie Jackson had an off night after a couple of good games, three of twelve from the field, ten points a mere coffee. Has been struggling slightly with his shot recently four of eleven, Terrence Man still just three of eight, and Luke Kennard two of eight.
Those you can't have that many critical players have off nights, and that's what led to the Clippers shooting just forty one percent overall, so almost half of their makes Eighteen of their forty makes in this game were from three. The three pointer was keeping them alive, but they weren't getting enough easy ones. Just thirty points in the paint. Still just finished with ten turnovers. That's a great number. Five in the first half, five in the second
half. There were a lot of positives. When you have a guy like Norman Powell, now who I've been a big fan of his for a while, just watching him play at UCLA and then in Toronto with Kawai and seeing that playoff run and Kawai not give him them fist bump to him going into that finals game because he was too locked in and focused. But those guys are buds, Sir, Jebaca was on that team. People are calling the Clippers Toronto West. But Norman Powell, he offers so much versatility on the
defensive end. He can play multiple positions. He's an efficient shooter, shooting forty percent on the season, averaging nineteen points per game, and when they've needed him to step up in Portland, if you watch him over the years, I mean he had a forty three point game last year. He could fill it up in a hurry. But efficiently that's the operative word there.
He just makes it look so easy and tough shot makers and creators and guys that can ees so like that you need them, especially in big moments. And him playing next to Kawai and Paul George whenever that may be, the Clippers are going to have one of the most difficult lineups to defend when it comes to versatility and shooting ability that we've ever seen. That's not hyperbole.
They're going to do some crazy stuff with combinations because coming ten and what he can do also, and I know he's an understricted free agent coming up. We'll see what happens with that. But Norman Powell's under contract for four years after this year. While He's in the prime of his career at twenty eight years of age, so an unbelievable get by the front office. Quite simply,
I was shocked that they were able to pull it off. We also want to thank the guys that left for their contributions to this Clippers team and Bledsoew, Justice Winslow, Keyan Johnson. And it's crazy to say. I talked about it in the pregame show with Noah Eagle, but I've been following Clippers former Clippers over the last three years just off of some of those pass
trades. I keep an eye on what Montrez is up to, Tobias Harris, Lou Williams, Pat Bev, all those guys, because they were part of the fabric of this team, this organization and the foundation they've been building for a while now that's eventually going to lead to a championship. And they helped lay some of that foundation and they made my job a lot easier.
And Justice Winslow was really starting to come into his home and play similar to how he did with the Miami Heat, and I'm gonna be watching him in Portland. Eric Bledsoe came back and he was more than just solid for the Clippers. He had some huge games. Think about those guys. Even Keyan Johnson had some huge moments. The Clippers don't have four comebacks of twenty plus or more in A'm back down thirty five, second best come back in NBA
history without those guys. So you gotta tip your cap to them and also be very excited about having Norman Powell here for the long term. All right, we will not take a time out yet. Javier in Lahabra Heights, I just want to fake out, Katie, Javier your on Clippers stock without him Astin, Hey, what's up at him? How are you mad? Hey? What's a you know, tough game? But you know it just
they don't. You know, It's just like we have two new guys and and you know it just it was I knew they're not They're not gonna win to date game. But you know what they have trouble with with Milwaukee the last couple of years, even with Kawaii and Paul George, everyone does, they have been one of the best teams in the league. There's no shame in losing to Milwaukee. No, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, So it was just, you know it was just you know, but my other
uh comment here is At. You know what, remember the first time I called you, Adam, it was an October. I told you, you know, Eric Bleat, So he's an you know, good player, but we need another player, we need we need to trade them. And look what happened. You know, Lawrence Frank he uh, I'm telling you man, he's an next uh, the next Jerry West. I mean he was so quiet. Everybody's talking about this team, that team is going to do this and this, and he always comes up and does something every year.
And you know, he's just trying to build a team. He's trying he's just trying to win a championship. I'm like you said earlier, you know, you know some of these players that leave, Yeah, you feel bad, but you know what, he's trying to win a championship. I mean that that's that's what it is. I mean, that's that's what Steve Barmber wants. We won a championship. Just unfortunate. Part of the business is Lawrence Frank always says, with having to see guys leave that, you know,
there's some real camaraderie with especially in that Clippers locker room. I mean, you can tell these guys love playing next to one another, so it's never easy. But the ultimate goal, yes, you want to win that first ring. That's what the goal is. They will do whatever it takes to get there. No, no, that that's for sure. So I mean, I just you know, and I don't think they're gonna they're gonna make another move. I mean, it's just we've got a couple more days.
But you know, that's what we want. We want to win a championship. Just just just think about this, Adam. We live in LA I mean, dodge and go all in. Lakers do the same thing the Rams, you know, we we the Clippers. We gotta go and follow the same route and win that ring. Like you said, just get that first ring. So if it just happened this year, for sure, next year with Pale with the team, we're gonna be we're gonna be good. So they're gonna beat I'll talk to you and talk to you next time,
all right. Yeah, Look, the thing that impresses me most is not just the fact that they're going all in. They're doing it with guys at the right time in their careers. Norman Powell is just entering his prime, and he's under a pretty team friendly deal for the production that he gives. They still have flexibility. They keep that flexibility. They're always refining the roster and tweaking and making it better. And they have the right coach to plug
and play the right guys at the right time. Nobody's gonna have more fun with the amount of lineups than coach Lewis with this team and unlocking the best lineup the right rotations for the perfect time of the game. That's why the Clippers have been able to come back. He sees things, he makes the adjustments, and they come storming back. And they almost did it again down
by his MANYUS twenty six. They had it to within nine about eight minutes left in the fourth quarter, with the Milwaukee Bucks just could not be stopped from the outside fourteen of twenty from three in the second half. They would win by twenty four with the final score one thirty seven to one thirteen over
the Clippers. We will take a quick time out now. Coming up next, we'll get back to your phone calls eight to sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six ninety seven two five seventy So here from the head coach and the players. Clippers fall back to one game under five hundred and twenty seven and twenty eight and the next game is in Memphis on Tuesday.
I'm out of Moslin. You're listening to Clippers Talk. You're on the ump five seventy l A Sports. This is LA Clippers basketball quarter three for the time he got it. This is the official hole of your LA Clippers. Make me Fama Dobo, make me go all out death Gobbo, make meath. Let's try not to. Clippers lose one thirty seven to one, third team to Milwaukee Buck Downtown Los Angeles. Welcome back into Clippers Talk. I'm out of Moslin eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six
six nine eight seven two five seventy. It was the debut of Norman Powell, and what a debut it was. His twenty eight points, just four shy of his season high of thirty two that came against the Utah Jazz back in December. Clippers, though, gave up fourteen three pointers on twenty attempts in the second half. A lot of that it's just great shooting. It's team getting hot, but sometimes you don't put a hand in the face early. It doesn't matter when you do later because a team or a player is
already in rhythm. And the Clippers had that loll in the second quarter where they got beat up thirty two to nineteen. They lost the second quarter by thirteen points after going five minutes scoreless, and really during that five minutes where they went scoreless, Milwaukee wasn't scoring that much. But the Clippers defensively they weren't good enough obviously in the second half, especially thirty nine points in the third quarter, thirty eight points in the fourth quarter, so seventy seven in
the second half alone. Milwaukee wins by twenty four. Welcome back into Clippers countdown. That'll be on Thursday, Clippers Stock, Let's go to Jack in La Jack. You're on without of Maslin. How are you hey? They're good to see you. I was just wondering, like, especially with full Jorg Kawai's injuries, maybe do we move off of one of them? I mean, the best ability is availability, and you know, like maybe we get a hardened or something. At the trade down, they were Sabonis.
They were even talking about in Indiana you would trade one of those guys for Sabonis. I mean, I mean, I don't know. I mean just again, but maybe even Hardened, because you know Hardens Burns availability hasn't Jack. I appreciate the phone call, but Harden's availability hasn't been very good either. And both those players play defense, play great defense. Yeah, they are two way players. And Jack, you know what. I say this
all the time. But if Kawai doesn't get hurt last year, I don't know if and all that, but if he doesn't get hurt last year, look, everybody, Lakers fans told me this. The Clippers were one at all. They have the formulae, they have the two guys. I appreciate the phone call, Jack. They gotta get him healthy. Yes, availability does matter, but it's so hard to find two superstars of their pedigree and bring them together like this. You want to see it through, especially because
you bring in Norman Powell now as the third score. This team is so deep. They have so many guys that play both ends of the floor, and they've been getting by with Paul George only playing twenty six games so far this season, Kawhi not playing one so far, and there's still just a game under five hundred. Nobody else could weather the amount of injuries like the
Clippers have. Well, we have a moment though. Let's Paul's ten seconds for station identification here on AM by seventy LA Sports This LA Clippers Basketball, seventy KLAC Los Angeles k HD to Los Angeles and iHeart radio station. Clippers lose one thirty seven to one thirteen to the Milwaukee Bucks and the debut of Norman Powell and Robert Covington, who had thirteen points, a couple of really
nice defensive plays. I mean somebody else who he's shooting on that three pointer he hit in the fourth quarter to bring it to within eleven from the corner. He's been shooting forty eight percent from the corner this season. And he's another guy that you bring in and I think thirty one years of age, and you wonder if the Clippers can bring the best out of him like they have with Patoomb and Reggie Jackson. They just dip him in Clippers culture and
revitalizes guys. We've seen it so many times now because Covington wasn't playing his best basketball recently in Portland. He was shooting just thirty four percent from three on the year, and the numbers have kind of been down. But I think on this Clippers team and look, change of scenery does so much for a play or two. Being in a winning environment with a team with championship aspirations. Yeah, it's dependent on Paul George and Kawhi Leonard and seeing if
they can come back this season. But the Clippers are laid out a roadmap and they have guys under contract for years that are just either entering their primes, are still in their primes, or are young players just getting better and better like Luke Nard to beats Zoobots, Terrence Man a mere coffee that you can see. They have a window where they can compete for a title for years to come, barring injuries. But that's what it is for every team.
Morris in Long Beach, Morris, you're on Clippers. Stop with Adams and what's up? Hey, Adam? First of all, when you can get when you can get seventy from the three point line, ridiculously you can get twenty shots? Okay, what is that? Forty two points on twenty shots? It's kept to overcome that straight up. I don't care what you're doing. In another other categories, they're hot they were really hot. Nothing to apologize for the World champions. I'm talking about Milwaukee and they shows you
why they was the World champions. Okay, but I want to share this with you. I knew some trade talks is going on somewhere. Now, let me tell you what they're saying about the team. Have the chickens come home the roost on me? Are you're gonna go after me now? More so? I do some trade talks is happening now that the people on TV they talked about next year, that the Clippers are the favorites with the two stars back and what they got right now, it's a done deal. But
let me tell you what else they said. They said, they said that the Clippers don't take the year off. They don't. That's not their religion. They don't take the gear off. Well, I'd like that, previous callers said, Like the previous callers said, I don't think they're through with the trade stuff, and like the follows on TV said, I don't think mister Barman got to borrow no money to pay his bills right on, and then nothing they said was talking about the tax if the NBA puts on what
they called the luxury taxes, he's not. He's not afraid of that. And nothing they said was tyrone because they were talking about Tybron Lew. This man is respected. This man got a reputation. We Tyron Leo got a reputation. They were saying that if you give him something to work with, if you're giving some players forget taking it. He might do something this year. But anyway, the future is bright with his team. And again I'm sure they're not finished. And it's not the name of the star you bring
in. There's got to be a chemistry. You get the chemistry going, then you got it. And thanks for this time, Adam, behave yourself now, Marris, thank you for the phone call. I'm always trying to You're right though, at all three levels now ownership, front office, head, coach, coaching staff, clippers are elite and they're in a position or they are going to be contending for championships. But you gotta have your superstars
healthy. And we're still hoping because we don't know. If you heard in the pregame show, I played the Lawrence Frank audio he spoke with the media yesterday for about twenty five minutes. I tried to play the most pertinent stuff for Clipper Nation pre game, and he talked about how when it comes to Kawhi Leonard, we just don't know. He doesn't know how is his body going to respond to the rehab, to the treatments, if he can come
back this season or not. And when it comes to Paul George, they're still waiting to get him an MRI at the end of this month, it sounds like, but that could change too, so we'll see. The point is the things that are in their control, they're handling beautifully. Kidding Norman Powell, I'll tell you this was a boon. This was an unbelievable get for the Clippers. That fits Clippers culture as he saw it to night perfectly. Guy in his first game, leads them in scoring and was the go
to guy during the comeback. People are already saying he's the best player available for the Clippers right now. And if you followed him in Southern California and at UCLA, he's just of that mold of that ilk two way player. Wants to play defense, even though he's undersized height wise, it's about the length that he brings to the game, the way he can deflect passes and just that wingspan. Another guy that can guard multiple positions. Guys like that
are so hard to find. Robert Covington, two first round picks were given up for him from Portland to Houston. This is somebody that he brings a little bit of that edge on the defensive end, loves doing the dirty work and then can hit corner threes. He's got some of that PJ. Tucker like game. Also a versatile defender. So we'll see if the Clippers are
done or not. Either way, they set the bar so high that every other trade that happens during the next lesson a week now, during the next four or five days is going to be compared to did you get enough? Because look what the Clippers did to get Norman Powell. So setting a standard there. Lawrence Frank has just been unbelievable. And yeah, a caller said earlier, he's the next Jerry West. Well he's working with him now. So is that torch being passed? I'm sure looks like it's so far.
All right, Well, we'll tell you a quick time out. We'll come back. You'll hear from coach lou Started. Clippers fall one thirty seven to one. Thirteams to the Milwaukee Bucks. You're gonna hear from the head coach and Lenny and Inglewood team one of my favorites. That's next year on Clipper self on AM five to seventy as fours. What a Drake's I don't started fun and bottom that the old team? Yeah, I didn't get your front of jump. Let's this is LA Clippers basketball quarter three for the time he
got it. This is the official home of your LA Clippers. What the what? I love goal five foot three two? I let one goal five. I don't bluff Broms suffer though you're erupting it. It's really tough to second Clipper Sloths one thirty seven to one thirteenth of the Walkey Bucks in downtown Los Angeles. Okay, day does it right here? Nothing Clippers fall by twenty four. They're in Memphis on Tuesday tip time at five pm. I'll have Clippers countwn be four. You're starting at four pm. Clippers in this
one. A couple other things that really hurt them besides the three points shooting end of quarters, first quarter, Chris Middleton with a buzzer beater, second
quarter, Bobby Portis. This has been a trend this season. It's not like the Clippers haven't done it either, but it's felt like it's happened to them more often than more than it's happened to the opponent, with it being in the clippers favor at least eight six six, nine, eight seven two five seventy eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy Lenny and Inglewood,
what do you got? What's up? What's up that look? I think you know that's first of all, I'm from walking in like, so I go on, my guys, are you jumping on you jumping on kid? Yeah? Right now? No, No, don't get me wrong. I told him three four years ago, I said, Clippers, we want to do it, and they they ride me all the time, and every year they get close to It's like you say, last year, they all know
what was up. But if we would have had our you know, our boys, he's just you know, Kawhi, I think we we don't have had it. But look, you don't want to say the Bucks are the wrong team. You want to face coming off of a shake up like they had with Led, So you know, Winslow and did these these guys. It was just you know Tyler Lou Queen's gabbitt. You know, he's got to see what he's got. So he's gonna make these cats. He's gonna get their feet wet. I don't you know, you never want to say
you want to go into a game not trying to win. But I think you know Tyler Lou is playing the long ball. He's trying to line up man. And last time when I called, you know, I want to say, right now, I want to Christen the official nickname for Marcus Morris. In addition to Bodomack. He wants forgot his Marcus Man game, Morris Man Game, Man Man Game. I notice you're not saying an old man game though you know better than that. I'm to see him some time.
Don't don't do that. He has Marcus Morris Senior. But yeah, he's been playing like a young man recently. But it's a game that ages well because it relies on the skill set, the buck, the turn, the faith. I mean to fade away the quarner three. I loved what he talked about how he you know, he changed up as Christian. He row he's like I think he said, high low carb, high protry. But
any man. He's just he's just still trying to get that and that just says everything about somebody who knows the environment that and knows, you know, what his job is, because you know, Bamber knows what his position, he knows what he brings to the table, and Frank knows what he's supposed to do, tylu, And it just trickles down, It trickles down. But I also think, you know, all the credits are blas you know, like you said, bless the blesser. They begin to grow on me
a little bit. But like I you know, we just need it from different pieces. But at the end of the day, I think we got kind of too many people who do the same thing. So you know, I'm curious to see what moves they got left. But I definitely think that Frank and and the logo aren't done. And we got we got we got the best organization. You know, I'm a dad going to say all the sports man because Obamba's doing is just phenomenal, phenomenal man, He's back cast
up and say go get it. I want to get it done. I already told me people, I'm gonna bring in the championship. I bought this forum because I ain't messing a while with Dolan. I'm building into it and we're gonna go for this stake. That was one of the big power moves I've seen the last couple of years. Actually, oh, he took it out of the side, took the money out of the side we're talking about.
It was done. It was done. So you know what I'm saying straight cast you know any worry about it, like, I don't even gonna hear your noise, don't. I'm shutting it down. You can, you know, you can slide out. I'm still building what I need to build because I told these people I'm gonna bring them the championship. And like you gotta said early, man, if that's where we are, man, we got more moral victories than any team in the NBA over the last five years.
I'm taking Golden State to six. I'm coming back when we had Nick Young on methods because when we got those, we got those. We need the chip well I do with that, Lenny, appreciate the phone call. I'm with you. Let me snip that sound bite for Bob Schmidt here. I'm sure I'll use it. That's our Clipper Nation feels though perfectly said, we'll take a quick time out here, we'll come back. I want to hear from the head coach in Toron lou Clippers lose one thirty seven to one
thirteen to the Milwaukee Bucks. Hibernation is begging for it been in a good way. They've been patient and they know the team is in place to get all these guys on the court together, owner, front office, coaching staff, check, check, check, and they get PG and Kauai healthy. That is yet to be determined more Clippers stock next. So hear from the
head coach in Toron Lou. Here on five seventy only Sports LA Clippers Basketball continue safetime shot down the Stretch. This is the official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. Clippers fall at home one thirty seven to one thirteen to the Milwaukee Buckshot a Swiss shot the caller earlier. I think it was Lenny. Yeah, this is not the team you want to play after you make some
big changes like this. I think that's because Milwaukee is such a well oiled machine and a bunch of guys that have been together for a while now and also have that championship DNA. So when the Clippers make that run and they're down nine with nine minutes left. Unlike a lesser team that might wilt, that might feel okay, here come the comeback. Clips are gonna do it to us now. Milwaukee Bucks just stepped up and made big shots. Bobby
Portis drew Holiday going to another three pointer. They would win by twenty four in Norman Powell's debut, and it was a good one. Twenty eight points in twenty four minutes. Welcome back to so call Norman Powell. Here was coach lu Though post game, speaking with the media. When you give up that many points, there's a lot of problems. But what are the things that are most concerned to you right now? After that performance? Man, no concerns they beat us. They had a good team. It's never because
it's always concerned when we lose. No like they was too much for us tonight. They played a good game. They made a lot of threes in the second half, fourteen for twenty from three. You know, so, no concerns. They had a good game. When obviously you've seen Pat Hanson, he had the kind of game gave Vincent Dwayne Washington had last couple of weeks. When gods get hot, like that, you just kind of tipped the cap and yeah, then I thought we did a good job trying to
get out and contest a couple of those shots. And one time he called it, didn't bring it down and made a shot, So I mean he shot the ball. Well, ran too that with Gabe Vincon like you said, and ran into it with Dwayne Washington Junior and Indiana and they got hot, you know, so they were too much for us tonight. And like I said, they played, they played well. What did you make of both Norman and Robert Covington's debuts. I thought he did a good job.
You know, thought was kind of tough, you know, right now we've got to figure out just this second unit, you know, with a point guard situation and be able to run some different sets. But I thought I did a good job like normal, you know, attacking the basket, getting to the free throw line, scoring the basketball. And I thought Covington's you know, defense, his energy opens to rebounds. He did a good job, you know, especially for a first game out with no practice, so
just some things we got to tweak and figure out. But I thought they did a good job overall. You see him kind of trying to figure it out, you know, Luke telling him where to go and just didn't work at the time. Yeah, I mean, and that's to be expected. So like I said, just give him a little bit more time, you know, clean some things up. But like I said, overall, I thought he did a good job. Power's ability to score, you know, off the dribble, on three point line, get to the rim, get
free throws. It's obviously something you guys wanted quite a bit. Is that the type of skills that you guys feel like can help you have some of these pronounced droughts like tonight and also in the past, like he can help you guys bust out of those. Yeah, I think so. You know, like I said, he's a dynamic score on mid range, at the at the rim, three point shot, you know, so when we can
do a lot of things. And like I said, just tonight, it was made a little harder for him not really having a traditional point guard. So I just got to figure that part of it out. And other than that, like I said, I thought he did a really good job with just attacking him being aggressive. There was Coach lu post game talking about Norman
Powell a great addition by the Clippers. Yeah, he's gonna work wonders in this offense, even before Kawai and Paul George get here and the Clippers they need offense and they need a team to get in sync quickly here because o their upcoming schedule is unforgiving. Clippers in Memphis on Tuesday, then not a back to back, but two games in Dallas against lou goodnostention in the Mavericks, then back home against the Golden State Warriors, then the Phoenix Suns in
Phoenix a week from Tuesday. So one game at a time. I mean, they say it all the time, but there's a reason for that. You can't look too far ahead. But yeah, it's a tough schedule before the All Star Break, as it was a tough schedule in January. We'll see if the Clippers can weather the storm with the injuries going on, because they just brought in two guys that can help them immediately. As they did tonight. Defensively, Clippers just weren't good enough on that end. They fall
by twenty four before we get out of here. I do want to thank the Clippers organization. Noah Eagle, Brian Seamen, Ralph Waller, big brother, Jake Warner Or head engineer, Downtown Los Angeles producer Katie Newton, and Sasha lifting spirits here animals, I miss them. Sash is a dog all right, hanging out in studio and being a good dog, not barking and whimpering or growling and me at all until Tuesday. But the Clippers. You're
going to growl and taking on the Memphis Grizzlies in Memphis. Tip time at five, Clippers pregame at four. I'm at a Maslin. We'll talk to you that. This has been Clippers Talk. They accepted the challenge, your first post game opportunity to talk LA Clippers without a Mossley. It's what we've
