Time for a postgame look. It's your LA Clippers. This is Clippers Locker Road, brought to you by Cedars Sinai, the official health partner of the LA Clippers, and by Patschonga, official travel casino of the LA Clippers. Breaking down today's action with the pre and post game voice. If you're LA Clippers, they're locking in every game, every night. Adam Oslin market eight dude, eight straight victories for the Clippers after they take down the Pacers in
Indiana one fifty one to one twenty seven. The Clippers remain the hottest team in the league is they have won thirteen of sixteen. Welcome into Clippers post game locker room show. I'm Adam Oslin coming up. We got second half highlight, your post game box score. Clippers coming up on the M five to seventy LAS Sports. But first back out to your radio voice of the Clippers in Carlo Jimenez. Carlo, what domination by this Clippers over this stretch.
But James Harden in that fourth quarter just the cherry on top. I mean, he was so so good and Adam Well will get overlooked about that twenty one performances. It was needed. I mean, the Pacers had it down to fifteen, it was looking like they might come back in this ballgame, and James said, hang on, everybody, not so fast, and was able to rattle off twenty one, a new career high, in a fourth quarter for Harden in which he hit six three pointers. He was unbelievable,
He was unconscious, he was untouchable. He was incredible. And how much fun was it to watch this team be so good? He got almost ninety points from Harden, George and Leonard scratched that at him. You got ninety points from Harden, Leonard and George. And when the Clippers do that, they are going to be tough to beat. This year, the Clippers put up one hundred and fifty one points, a new season high after they
just said it at won forty four on Saturday night. This team is just getting better and better, and I don't think is even close to peaking yet. But Kawhi Leonard starts off eight for eight, unreal stretch that he has been on. I just ran the numbers last ten games. Kawhi is one oh nine for one point seventy three from the field. That's sixty three percent.
He's twenty seven for forty seven from three A's fifty seven percent. I don't know if there's been a more efficient stretch in NBA history by a non big man, a non center, And if anybody can find it, please at follow Adam A the only guy I could think of as Lebron James maybe in twenty twelve or twenty thirteen with the Miami Heat. But what Kawhi Leonard is doing in the mid range and basically all his shots jump shots, and he's knocking them all down right now, Carlo, just a heater like we've
never seen before. Yeah, you make it such a good point because these shots aren't all at the rim, they're not all in the paint. Heck, most of them are not in the paint. That was what's so incredible is Kawhi is getting to his spots and just burying jumper after jumper. Sometimes you're surprised when guys make shots. We are surprised every time Kawhi Leonard misses a shot because it just feels like everything he touches is turning to gold right
now for this Clipper team. And it showed out in a big way tonight. Once again. Adam a tone setter early got this team going and they ran away with things here in the Raceway City. So many guys to praise in this one. I thought, when you talk about tone setter Avitza, Zobots also helped in that area. Another huge throwdown. And this is something we used to talk about a lot with Noah Eagles. Sometimes a dunk isn't just a dunk. It energizes the entire team. He's seven of ten,
has eighteen points, sixteen boards, four offensive rebounds, three blocks. Just like Kawhi, He's doing it now on both ends. It's not just Big Zoo on defense. He's making an impact on offense. He is he is. I mean I tried to ask TYLERU why is this working out so much with James Harden and he just said, I think Zubats is getting in the right spot and he's making it, taking advantage of his opportunities. And he's
doing that tonight. I mean, any other team at him in which your center has eighteen and sixteen, you'd probably say, Wow, that is a guy who's making an impact. He's playing at an all star level. He is probably one of their best players. But Zubats is the fourth storyline in this game. Among these Clippers starters. Unreal effort from Big Zoo, who just continues to be an X factor for this team. Kind of a barameter a back wall as he's able to defend the rim so excellent from the field,
does his dirty work and in only twenty six minutes. That might be the sweetest thing about this one is the minute total, Adam, because you got two tough games on a back to back, and the way they have manhandled New York and now man handled Indiana, you have saved up some minutes for this OKC Dallas run. We're talking about a team that had lost six straight at one point five straight at first with James Harden, but since the
new starting lineup, they have won thirteen of sixteen. And it's about the sacrifice for multiple guys, but especially Russell Westbrook coming off the bench and once again especially in the second half, with that put back and then drawing an offensive foul on consecutive possessions. Russell Westbrook's showing the heart, the spark plug off the bench. This is a guy that has taken to his new role and is thriving. He is thriving, and I think what I love about
it is his attitude and energy hasn't changed at all. Like you mentioned at him, he continues to be smiling him on the bench, hyping up his teammates. He only played nine first half minutes, and when Harden threw that pass all the way down to the other court to find Zobots for a missed layup, Russe was the first guy over with a huge smile on his face, hyping up James, giving him props. I mean, the Klippers were excellent tonight, but it's so easy when guys like Russ's sacrifice and then their
attitude doesn't change. No one else has any excuse about how they approach the
game with their attitude. He sets a standard. He sets a standard for this team, the way he has his body language, the way he approaches the game every night, and the Clippers following line, and to your question earlier, Carlo, I'm gonna say this right now, what we're witnessing is the most dominant stretch in the regular season in the two to one three era when you put it on context with the opponents James Harden having just played twenty
one games so far as a Clipper, the way they're scoring the basketball, and the way they're setting the tone defensively. I haven't seen anything like this since Kawhi and Paul George came over in twenty nineteen. This is that best run by this Clippers group so far. Here, Carlos, it's been so much fun to watch twenty five games together, and man, it has been
good as goal. This Clipper team can do nothing wrong, and they're gonna have to keep it going on probably their toughest road back to back this season. One more thing out of before I hop on Ada here. We talked so much about the offense and obviously one hundred and fifty one points they held Tyrese Halliburton, who came in averaging a top ten points total at twenty six a game, to eight eight points tonight for Tyrese, he was a non
factor. The defense once again almost perfect. They continue to find a way to slow down the head of the snake, whether it's Steph Curry, Dearon Fox, or Tyrese Halliburton tonight, as the Clippers win in Indiana in game one of this three game road trip one fifty one to one twenty seven. As Carlo mentioned earlier, they'll be in Dallas for the front end of a back to back Dallas then OKC. Wednesday, we got tip off from Big
D at five thirty. Clippers County on your pregame show starting at four thirty, Carlo. I don't know if I want a day off, but I guess we'll get one. We'll talk to you on Wednesday.

Welcome back into your postgame locker room show I'm ada Oslin Clippers winners of eight straight thirteen of sixteen with the new starting lineup, Let's get to second half highlights. Clippers led seventy seven to sixty six at the half.

They're right handed, Florid true the claw with a masterclass Kawhi Leonard with eleven points on the third Paul George with
nine Clippers led one fourteen to ninety four heading into that fourth quarter. But you never know if a lead is safe against the number one scoring team the NBA, at least for nown until the Clippers get a couple more weeks in him. The Indiana Pacers were hanging around until James Harden did this. Harden at the top puts his right foot into the ground, frustrated with the off ball movement, pulls the string straight away. Three all chords, pillar from
James Harden. George collects near black double team back out Harden left angle, three ball perfect. James Harden another three, his fourth of the night. Pulls it out with left hand, sizing up heels.

It ain't March, but I'm looking at the Elite eight right now is the Clippers win eight straight as they put up one hundred and fifty one on the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis. They win one fifty one to one twenty seven, and the Clippers have won thirteen of sixteen
since the new starting lineup. How about them Clippers Clipper Nation if you want to get on tonight, eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number we had people calling in before the game was even over in this one, after James Harden detonated and hit the powder keg in that fourth quarter where he dropped twenty one points, a career high the fourth and that is saying something because this guy
has had a month before where he's averaged over forty points per game. He ends up with thirty five twelve of sixteen, shooting eight of eleven from three and most of them coming in the fourth. Kawhi Leonard didn't even even didn't even have to play in the final period. He goes twelve of eighteen after starting off eight of eight from the floor. He has twenty eight points.
Paul George only plays thirty one minutes. He had twenty seven on his former team, and the Clippers set a new season high of one hundred and fifty one points on the highest scoring team in the league that plays at the fastest pace in the league. And the Clippers just beat him at their own game. Yeah, welcome into Clippers Talk. Coming up, we'll have Will updike on. You'll hear from James Harden. We'll get to your phone calls.
You can get to me at follow Adam a on x as. I was running the numbers earlier, because what Kawhi Leonard has done over the last ten games, it may be unprecedented, unprecedented efficiency. Specifically, in the last ten ballgames, Kawhi is one oh nine for one seventy three from the field. That's sixty three percent shooting, and twenty seven for forty seven from three
that's fifty seven percent from the outside. You try to find me a more efficient ten game stretch by a non big man in the history of the NBA. Pull it up. I want to see it. I don't think m mj ever did it. I'm not sure Lebron did. If anyone did,
it's him in Miami. He had some crazy runs. But then when you take into account that probably the average shot Kawhi Leonard is taking right now is probably around fifteen feet out, and he's shooting sixty three percent in ten games in a sample size that big of one hundred and seventy three shots and he knocks down one toh nine of them. Yeah, he had a big dunk with a left hand, but he's been getting to the rim sparingly. It's
just mid range mastery mixed in with a few three pointers. I've never seen anything like it. Three weeks ago, people were telling me he was washed. They lose to Denver in a game where they didn't have their big three, and Reggie Jackson and DeAndre Jordan beat the Clippers. And since then, the last ten games, Kawhi Leonard has without a doubt been the best player in the NBA and playing some of the best basketball, if not the best
regular season stretch right now of his career. But you know what he was asked this last game Saturday night against the Knicks. He's not focused on a hot streak a stretch. He's got bigger things in mind. And this Clippers team is doing big things. They're building the correct championship habits, and it is not a coincidence that you're seeing Kawhi and Paul George play this well since
they brought in James Harden. I said it day one. In fact, I just posted the video from CND when we did an emergency podcast after the trade was finally consummated with the Philadelphia seventy six ers. This was on October thirty first. I said, then, James Harden is gonna unlock the best version of the two to three connection, and that's what we're seeing right now. All they had to do was bring Russell Westbrook off the bench like I
asked, and Russ is thriving too. But don't tell me that James Harden isn't the biggest reason right now for what we're seeing from this Clippers team. And what we're seeing is the best regular season run in the two pine three era. It's definitive. It's a fact. One hundred fire emoji. That's what it is. There's no debate, undisputed, Hell Skip Bayless. This
team is playing the best basketball since they got Kawhi and Paul George. It's also not a coincidence that it's happening after Kawhi Leonard just played his twenty sixth straight game to start off this season. Paul George has played twenty five of twenty six. James Harden has played all twenty one so far as a Clipper. But I love the energy these guys are bringing and the joy they're playing
with right now. Carlo Jimenez talked with Daniel Ty's postgame. He spoke about how fun it is to be on this team right now making a difference. He was an Indiana pacer, wasn't getting any run, and now he looks like Isaiah Hartenstein light with this Clippers team, with the minutes he has given them without Mason Plumley, by the way, they still don't have Big plumb
got injured in James Harden's first game against the Knicks. Think back to that now, how long ago does it feel that six game losing streak, five straight in the first five games with James Harden. Now they've won eight straight, thirteen of sixteen. Nobody's looked better. It's all coming together. Now.
We're still around thirty percent of the way through the season. There's a lot more games to play, But if anything, that should have you more encouraged, because I'm telling you this team hasn't peaked yet James is just getting started. He only had fourteen entering the fourth. You want to put a team away. You want to keep Kawhi Leonard Fresh standing on the bench in the fourth quarter, just like they did Saturday night against the Knicks. You
gotta pour it on late. You gotta hit big shots. You know what I want to hear The highlight mixed by Katie Newton of James Harden's personal best in a fourth quarter of twenty one points against the Pacers where the Clippers put up one point fifty one. Here were those buckets by James the Bearded Wonder. Harden at the top, puts his right foot into the ground, frustrated
with the off ball movement, pulls the string straight away. Three all cords pillar from James Harden, George Collex near black, double team back out Harden, left angle, three ball perfect, James Harden another three, his fourth of the night. Pulls it out in left hand, sizing up heeled. He wants this dance. The bearded one gets by downhill, drive the lay up, upp and in James Harden with twenty two, staring into his soul with five to shoot, with four step back. Three Harden buckets another triple
dribbling with the right hand. It's Obie Toughen in his blender again, A step back three, why not? James Harden dancing step back left wing, A three nyl one. James Harden bed on miss. He shakes his head, he's unconscious. Here comes Harden into the front court, dancing double team comedy, dribbles away near wing. Another three, Yes, the bowel.
James Harden is on fire. He went seven for eight in the fourth to get those twenty one points again, a career high for him in the fourth quarter, and that is saying something because he's one of the best scorers ever. He hit let me count him here, make sure I get this right. Six threes in the fourth, and the Clippers just outdueled the highest scoring team in the league with the best offensive rating in NBA history, in the Indiana Pacers. They were one twenty one as a team coming into this one.
Nobody's been more lethal. But it starts with defense and cutting off the head of the snake. This time it was Tyrese Haliburton. He goes just three of twelve. You know who is on him A lot Kawhi Leonard. He's been doing it to Steph Jamal Murray, the Aaron Fox. He's wrecking guys. If he's not in the MVP conversation right now in the regular season, something is wrong. And I know the national media they've been hesitant to jump back on the Clippers. They feel like they've been wrong in the past
when they picked them to win the championship. But they're gonna come around in droves now. Hordes of national media members will now be talking about, Oh, maybe that James Harden trade was the right move. How about that? Catch me outside while we have a moment. Let's pause ten seconds for station identification on a five to seven E LA Sports, This is LA Clippers Basketball, AM five seventy KLAC Los Angeles, ninety eight seven KYSR HD two Los
Angeles and iHeartRadio station. I mean, do you remember the conversation we were having just about the speculation of them getting James Harden. If you listen to clips and dip, people were telling us stop talking about it's stupid. They're
not gonna get them. We don't want them. How about now? James Harden is a T seventy five player for a reason, and on nights like tonight where he shows off the scoring with his Clippers high of thirty five with a twenty one point fourth quarter to go along with nine assists to one turnover. Little known secret about this team during this stretch, winners of thirteen of sixteen, nobody's been better when it comes to limiting turnovers. The Clippers are
at about eleven per game over the last sixteen hmm. I wonder if that has something to do with one of the greatest playmakers of all time, who makes pinpoint accurate passes, drops dimes out there and doesn't turn the basketball over. I wonder if that has something to do with Russell Westbrook playing less minutes,
who at times is not always one of his strengths limiting turnovers. James Harden in his last few games in this one nine assists, one turnover, twelve assists won turnover against the Knicks, fifteen assists, four turnovers against Golden State. Did you not know who James Harden was? Do I haveter Kevin Durant? You does he have to do? You know who the hell he is? He's always been one of the lead assist guys. He just led the league and assists last season. But your pigeonholed him. You said he's
just an ISO scorer, can't play within a team concept. He just helped Joe Ellenbiid getting MVP. He just played next to Kyrie and KD. This isn't Rockets, James Harden, and you don't got to be a rocket scientist to realize. Yeah, it's a good fit with Kawhi and Paul George, as I tried to tell you from day one when I was taking calls here from people who didn't want them. Not getting those anymore, let's start things off with Javier and the Horber Heights. Javier, what's up? You're on
Clippers stock without Amazend. Hey, what's up? A thank you for taking my call again? Man, I'm shocked. I mean I called you the other day against the Warriors and I said I was wrong with Tylu. But now it's like what eight nine in a row. I mean, it's just eight thirteen of sixteen, I know, and I'm just like, I mean, one hundred and fifty one points at Indiana, I mean that's your dicls
DI can probably scored one hundred and seventy. It just I'm I'm just I'm so happy and I'm just like wow, I mean so if James Harden could play the way he played today, I mean, watch, ain't nobody gonna beat the Clippers in the He's not gonna put up twenty one points every fourth quarter. Javier, he doesn't need to play the way he did today with the embarrassment of riches the Clippers have. It could be Kawhi's night one night. It could be Paul George George's night one night. It could be James
Harden's. It could be Norman Pals, it could be it's a zoo boxes. They have so many talented guys that if any one of them has a big night, good night to the competition. No, no doubt, you're right about that. And then you said earlier too making Plumby he's not even playing. Imagine when he comes back the bench they're going to have with him Plumbley, Daniel Diaz and then uh Powell, Russell Westbrook and now Coffee Plane.
I mean, they're that's a deep bench. I mean, honestly, they could you know, they can pull up like what twelve in a row real quick. Just just just just a thought here, Adam, before I let you go. I know they played Dallas on Wednesday and then they played the thunder the next day. Would you go all out and play though you know uh Kawhi and Paul George. Would you rest them the next day because they've been put on a lot of minutes tonight, you oh not tak them.
I appreciate the phone call Javier. Depends on how they're feeling. If they feel this good. They went into training camp healthy for the first time, and it shows they were doing the two A days, the three A days, all the tough running pat Riley's style from coach lou in training camp. This time around, they don't have tired legs. Kawhi has looked better as the season has gone along. Paul George missed one game. He said it was like the check engine light went on for his body with that little
hip issue. Missed the game against Golden State Warriors, came back, played well against the Knicks, played well tonight against his former team and the Pacers. He only had to play thirty one minutes. Kawhi only had to play twenty seven. Harden was at twenty eight when Paul George led them in minutes at thirty one tonight. You don't have to worry as much when you're blowing teams out. When you can in game load manage, so to speak,
you're good. So if they're feeling good, you gotta keep playing them. Now I have stressed before. Yeah, they can't play thirty eight minutes per night. Eventually you will get burnt out. The team knows that coach lou has already said they're not gonna run him into the ground. But when you outpace the Pacers and beat them at their own game and outscore them one fifty one to one twenty seven and look like the fresher team, the team that
just continues to push things. Russell Westbrook comes in, has some great plays in the third quarter. I think it was with the put back on a misshot I want to say from Daniel Tice. Then Russ miss won and then eventually got it to go and then drew an offensive foul on the other end. Those type of hustle plays. Russ plays seventeen minutes but has ten points, five assists, just one turnover himself. Russ stands, stand down,
it's working. This is the formula. This is how you win. This is how you maximize the talent of James Harden and Russell Westbrook I know there's gonna be times where they need Russ to play thirty five minutes again. At some point, there's gonna be injuries. Guys are gonna get banged up. It's a long season. We've seen it a little bit. But he'll be ready. He'll be fine, and until then, be the spark plug, be the sixth man, find other ways to contribute, do the little things.
He's doing a great job with that. Sean and Ingle would Sean, you're on clipper stock with Adam Haslin. What's up, Sean? What's up, mister Adam Man. I'll tell you that was a great game to watch, and they were so fluid. I thought that maybe they would get there, maybe twenty games from now, and they're already there. Did you think that, Sean is sorry? Did you think that, because I'm pretty sure you didn't want James Harden, did you think that I did think that I
didn't want James. You're right, but he's not doing the things that I said I didn't want him to do. He's not overdribbling and he's playing defense. Those are two things that he I didn't think he would do. He's doing that very well. I'm happy to have him on the team, So okay, I'm happy he's a Clipper, and I'm happy to see our progress. And I'll tell you the defense played so well. And I even said in the first quarter, I said, one hundred and fifty points tonight and
they're just killing him defense and offense. So I think it was a good win for us. I look forward to the next game and I can't tell you how much that I see the ball moving, and that's the most important thing. That is the most important thing. And there was just one play in the third quarter when they had eighty three points and they did this kind of Harlem globe trotter, loop it around, loop it around, and then they did the aliu to everybody touched the ball and then Zoo slam dunted on
the aliu. That was just so beautiful, beautiful basketball. Here's what's amazing to me. On a night where they scored one hundred and fifty one, they still only had twenty six assists. They still were taking turns attacking. There was still plenty of iso ball, but it didn't throw them out of a rhythm. And that's what I think is most impressive, because come the playoffs, it reverts often to isolation basketball. Now, to James's credit,
he hasn't slowed things down much. Everybody said, oh, you already have enough ISO ball with Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. Now you add James Harden, the ball's not gonna be hopping. Well that's not just not true. It's been, as you mentioned, a beautiful thing to watch. But it does start with the defense. Sean, I'm glad you brought that up. Defensively, they've been so good on that end. Even when they gave up thirty eight points in the first quarter, I felt like the effort was solid.
They had a couple of lapses. That Buddy Healed three pointer was well defended by a mere coffee to end the first quarter. But when you hold Tyrese Haliburt in a three of twelve for just eight points, that's their engine, that's their guy, that's the catalyst. And they've been slowing down and taking away the opposition's best player most nights. And you know, I was thinking before the game too, who's gonna hold down Halliberg? No, he
did it. He's gonna have the worst game of the of the year, you know, And that was that was just beautiful defense all the way round. I'm with you. Good phone call, Sean. I know I owe you tickets. I'll get him to you at some point. Don't worry about that. I'm a man of my word. You know this. You know this, Sean. I'll get you those tickets eventually. You're a good guy, Adam. I don't care what anybody else says about you. Let's say a lot, thanks, Sean. They said a lot about James Harden,
a lot of nonsense, a lot of talk. You know, I got some receipts. Clippers win one fifty one to one twenty seven over the Indiana Pacers. Speaking to James. We'll hear from him coming up. We'll get back to your phone calls. Eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy. Clippers team impressing the doubters, the haters. If he can't see the vision, as I always say, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you just don't know ball.
Sorry if you thought James Harden was gonna make the Clippers worse, sorry, I heard enough of that. So what now? Clippers win thirteen of sixteen, eight straight hottest team in the league. They'll be in Dallas on Wednesday. I'm Ata Oslin and you're listening to Clippers hock here on M five seven LA Sports. They want to bring a banner with them to the Into It Dawn more LA Clippers basketball on the LA Clippers Audio Network. The California
Love Crew is rolling right now. You got four stars from SoCal and James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. And they have won eight straight and thirteen of sixteen. It all started with Russ saying, I'll come off the bench. I'll sacrifice the old VTB self sacrifice. Since then, Clippers winners of thirteen of sixteen and tonight they put up one hundred and fifty one points on the Indiana Pacers. They win one fifty one to one
twenty seven. Welcome back in the Clippers stock. I'm at a Maslin still to come. We we'll updike on. You'll also hear from James Harden. Let's get to Zoriana. In La Zoriana. You're on Clipper stock without a Maaslin. What's up? Hi? Hi Adam, Yes you got me, Hi, I really thank you so much for everything what you say about Clippers.
I'm crazy about them and I love them so much. I started to hold basketball since nineteen eighty five, and I came to the United States from Ukraine because of Michael Jordan because he's lost, and I think Leonards right now is very very similar because his he looks so healthy and his body is amazing to compare to every You know, he's a very very healthy person and he's gonna do the best, probably what he can. I also know pretty well Lou Williams, and I missed him so much. I wish he can be
still in that team because he was amazing too. So Michael Jordan, Louvi Williams, Iverson Kawhi Leonard, how about that? Patrick Beverly, Hey, those are some of my favorites too, Ziana, And you're right, I call Kawhi MJ ninety six all the time because the similarities. He's the closest we have to MJ in today's game with the mid range attack that he uses almost exclusively some nights. But I also say that we should make the monument
of his body because nobody has, you know, figureus. Kawhi Leonard his absolutely healthy guy. No compare to anybody else. If he can stay healthy, this team, the sky is the limit. What is your perspective in the future games, the songs and everything. What do you think on what upcoming Clippers games? Yes, Lakers and sons. I mean, what do you think who's gonna be like, who's gonna be leading team? Well? I can talk about the West a little bit. I appreciate the phone calls
Oriana first time caller. I believe here on Clippers Talk eight sixty six, nine eight seven, two five seventy. We talked about this yesterday on Clips and Dip. But the West does look somewhat wide open now. The Denver Nuggets have had their struggles here and there. Jamal Murray missed a month for them, They've had some injury issues. Nikolo Jokis went through a funk. But to me, they're still the champs. They're still the team to beat.
Luckily, the Clippers finally did get a victory against them after they had won eight straight over the Clippers, and they beat them fully healthy. They had Jokic, they had Aaron Gordon, they had Michael Porter Junior, they had Jamal Murray and the Clippers took him down. During this eight game winning streak. Huge victory there. They're still seventeen and ten though on the season, Clippers improved to sixteen and ten. That has them in the sixth spot
in the West. Currently, Sacramento's right in front of them. Clippers beat him twice already, they'll see him again. They're in the Pac DIV Sacramento at fifteen and nine, the Dallas Mavericks are at sixty and nine, and the Clippers are one and one against them so far this season. So that game coming up on Wednesday, huge Western Conference standings implications. Dallas, though, looks like they'll be without Kyrie Irving for that game. He's banged up.
Doesn't matter. They still got Luca. We know he averages what thirty four points I think it is against the Clippers over the last two seasons, But the last time out, Clippers held Dallas to eighty eight points total. The defense has been special. So big game coming up on Wednesday, and then they'll see Okay see for the first time on Thursday. And you know, they scare me, maybe more than anyone right now, just because they have the assets to go out there and still make a huge move. Aquilla
and Carson Aquila. I hope I got that right. You're on clippersoc without Amasen. You said it perfectly. You said it perfectly, and I wanted to say one thing that started out. It's Clips versus Clips. We don't have a We're fighting our sales. We're playing our sales, and I love it. We're dominating in great fashion. But here's the thing, though, I disagree with you when it comes to dimver being the team to beat.
I think the reason why repeating is so tough is because it's hard to keep up the energy for one season to the next, so repeating is very tough to do him but won't repeat this year the Clippers is playing. I've been a die hard Clipper fans. My kids are Clipper fans, die hard. So we have a Clipper family, Clipper life, Clipper everything in our house. And I think we're the team to beat. I think we'll go four and old this week. Well, that would be impressive. That would take
them to twelve straight or eleven straight victories. Since you're including today, Yes, I understand your point about going back to back and how difficult it is. The last team to do so would be the Golden State Warriors with Kevin Durant. So that was twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen. Miami barely did it. When they had the Big Three, they barely did it. It's a
very tough thing to do. You have to be almost you gotta have one of those guys that's literally obsessed, or like a Kobe or Michael Jordan, or you must do it by a complete team like the Golden State Warriors. And Denver is just not that. As much as I love the Denver as much as I love Denver, I don't think they built strong enough because they got rid of some key pieces that they needed in order to do it this year. Well, one of them we saw tonight in Bruce Brown. That
was a big loss for them. It's a fair point of quill. I like the entergy you're coming with and I'm with you your show. We love you, thank you, do not love We need you here when we make this run and we move into our new arena. And I don't know if you've heard that they're gonna change Crypto Crypto arena as soon as we move. As soon as we move, did you hear about the new name? No, But I'm guessing you've got a joke here and I want it. I
do have a joke. It's gonna be called the sports arena too. It's gotta be the new sports arena. Laker fans aren't gonna like hearing this a quill, which makes me like it even more a quill. Thank you for the phone call, Hey calling on Wednesday, it's been too long. Thank you for the great show. Adam, all right, appreciate you. Let's go to Daniel in Echo Park. Daniel, you're on clipper sack without a Maslin. After they make it eight straight, they win in Indiana one fifty
one to one twenty seven over the Pacers, Daniel, what's up? Is great? Adam is great, But I do at the point, and I don't know if you caught that at the end of the third quarter when Kawai actually looked really mad, he like kind of like made some kind of gesture towards the to the official when he didn't get a foul called, and I, oh, he was mad. In the first quarter he got called for an offensive foul right off the bat, and he was upset. He has
been intense the last couple of weeks. Yeah, and you know what, it made me fake? You know about players who with that kind of intensity. You have his airness, Michael Jordan's Kobe, you know, Lebron never had that, and I think he probably would have won more chips if you had. But I saw that in quiet a day or if a Golden State just didn't get Kevin Durant. But yeah, well he's pretty intense too, but yeah, he needed some help. I don't know, man, I
think this is our year. I think this is our year. And you know what he what he did tonight twenty seven minutes like twelve or eighteen. I mean, it's that's been sick the past, like what like seven eight games, like ten ridiculous, going back ten games since they lost to Denver. Kawhi Leonard said enough and since then he's he has shot sixty three percent from the field that I mean, you can't and they're mostly Mitch mid range shots and he's shooting sixty if it's at the foul line or a foot you
know, even closer it's in. Like there's no question. It's just crazy. As Kobe would say, as Kobe would say, the late Gray Kobe Bryant would say, easy money, easy money, money baby, easy money baby. I can't wait. I hope you d's up, Luke. I know I'm getting ahead of myself right there, but uh man, I hope you go perfect in December. All right, thanks, thank you, Daniel,
appreciate the phone call. All Right, we'll say you a quick time out eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy eight six six ninety seven two five seventy. We'll get back to your phone calls while we'll Updike on. We'll hear from James Harden post game after he dropped twenty one of his
thirty five points on the fourth quarter. Clippers win one fifty one to one twenty seven over the Pacers, and to a Quinn's question, not trying to go Wolf of Wall Street, but as long as they'll have me, I'm not going nowhere. Uh I'm gonna get my Leodardo DiCaprio on Clippers, deal with the painting right now. Just a beautiful thing to watch, this team, just masterpiece after masterpiece. Clippers have won eight straight thirteen to fifteen.
Who hottest team in the NBA? More Clippers sock next here on MFI seven LA Sports Loading Clippers fully loaded with Clippers fans. This is La Clippers Basketball. You're listening to the LA Clippers on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Come back at Clippers Talk. Having trouble getting a hold of Will Updyke of C and D. Call him out on Twitter at Will Updyke on X. We're
friends like that. We can point fun at one another. Clippers win ain't nothing funny about what they've been doing to the league one fifty one to one twenty seven over the Indiana Pacers. Welcome back into clipperstock. I'm Adam Oslin. Clippers winners of eight straight. They've been that good. And one of the things that has stood out during this run of thirteen wins in their last sixteen ball games is maybe what could be their new death lineup. It was
very successful tonight. Once again. We call it the Powell Rangers because it's the starters, but with Norman Powell in for Terrence Mann, so norm next to James Hard and Paul George Kawhi Leonard and Aviza Zubats In four six minutes so far this season in just eight games where they have played them, that lineup is shooting fifty three percent from the field, forty four percent from three, and is a plus forty four in forty six minutes. That's unbelievable.
That is something I'm sure Zach Lowe will be bringing up soon on the low post as he loves lineup data like that. And who's got the most unstoppable lineup in the game. The Clippers got options, But that's a pretty damn good one. Jose in Southgate, You're on Clippers stock without a Mazland. What's up? Adam Well shot out Roko and beat it on Batoon and Morias and Kenyon. But when we're not winning the game or or I say shout out to because we have been, you know, we were of games with
them. But when Paul George doesn't score in the fourth court and Crunning doesn't play and James Harden does what he does, then you know, all the naysayers, even me. I know I'm not I wasn't the naysayer, but I've been holding my turns because I've been thinking of But we're starting to see it, and you know, I didn't want to see Macon Plummer get hurt. But this was a preper opportunity for Zoobaka to step up because we needed them to step up, and he's just getting all this undeath his belt.
So when we do get plumbing back, we haven't even seen harder than plumbing yet. I'm loving its clip parts, He'll say in Southgate. I like how he kind of springs it on me with the old Oakie doough, like he's not done talking, and then all of a sudden, let's go Clippers. Are they been going? Yo? Go? Powell Rangers has been going
as well. And I'm just about to put a post up because I can multitask like that on x at follow Adam A about some of that lineup data now with the Powell Rangers, because I'm shocked they haven't gone to it more. I'm guessing that's Coach Lou playing things close to the vest, close to the chest. He wants to hold this back until the playoffs or until big
moments in the regular season when he needs it most. Norman Powell in the starting backcourt next to James Harden because they are a one thirty one offensive rating, a ninety two point six defensive rating. That's a plus thirty eight point four net rating. That's elite. If you didn't know, it's God tier, it's unbelievable, you know what. Speaking of God, tier. Let's hear from James Harden postgame after he dropped twenty one points, a personal high
in the fourth quarter. Twenty one of his thirty five, where he hit six three pointers, was fouled on one looked at the camera. Oh the Beard was all up in it late and kept Kawhi Leonard on the bench. He was postgame on Ballet Sports Letter in the clips eight straight as we are standing by with James Harden, Alrianna, take it away, James, what an amazing performance tonight, thirty five points, nine assists. I saw that
little snow angel impression after your four point play there on the ground. How does it feel to get this road win and go off? We're playing very very well right now, so just contine to be consistent on what we do. Take an approach of every game is a new challenge for us as a unit. And you know, tod I was another another I for us. This does make eight straight wins for the team. What does that say about how well you guys are gelling and the potential you guys have figuring out you
know, I mean we're figuring it out. We're coming together where chemistry is building game by game. We still have a long way to go, but you know, I mean we're definitely heading in the regression there. Indeed were defensively. You guys were able to hold Tyrese Halliburton to eight points tonight. So what do you guys need to carry over to get it done in Dallas? We know how effective he is, you know, I mean generating points
for his teammates. So you know, it was really really crucial for us from the beginning a game be on him and make sure he don't get anything easy. And so we just that fourth quarters and we had a great outcome. All right, thank you, great job there was. James Harden post game, has twenty one points in the fourth quarter. Unreal stretch for him to put this one away. Clippers score one fifty one, they take down the Indiana Pacers, really beat him at their own game. Pacers were the
highest scoring offense in the NBA. Clipper's starting to catch up on that end. The defense had been there, believe it or not. The defense with James Harden was ahead of the offense. Now the offense is starting to catch up. When you score one fifty one and shoot fifty percent from the outside on thirty eight attempts. Yeah, that's gonna happen. Coming up next will
updyke of clips and dip if I can get ahold of them. But we can also get back to your phone calls at eight sixty six, nine seventy eight, six six ninety seven, two five seventy Clippers winners of thirteen of sixteen. Since the new starting lineup, they're starting to create a lot of buzz around the league. Again. Maybe I'll just play me saying on October thirty first, when they made the trade for James Harden, he will unlock
the best version of the two one three connection. The best stretch of the two to one three era is upon us. Let's see if they can keep it going Wednesday in Dallas. We'll preview you that as well. Right here on Clippers stock on AMPI seventy LA Sports. They want to bring a banner with them to the into It Dawn more LA Clippers Basketball on the LA Clippers Audio Network. Well, deja'voo in multiple ways, same song, same story with the Clippers. They win, make it eight straight, one f one
twenty seven over the Indiana Pacers was the final score. Welcome back in I'm out of Mosland. It listening to Clippers talk. You just heard from James Harden who had twenty one points in the fourth quarter alone, and now you're gonna hear from will Updyke of clips and dip made mistake, didn't have my guys on last time. Clippers were still able to win somehow, but they didn't win like they did tonight. I mean they only had one hundred and
forty four points against the New York Knicks. Now that we got big Will for big dubs coming on, the Clippers put up one fifty one Will What were you most impressed with in this one by the Clippers? I gotta start with what I'm least impressed with? What? Yeah, that's right, We're eight games into a win streak. It's time to be a little bit more critical. Adham, Oh god, is this sewn and inglewood again? I said? I said they needed to hold the Pacers under one hundred and twenty
points. What did The Pacers scored one hundred and twenty seven, but the Clippers called off the dogs laying in the fourth it might as well be a loss to me. Well, William up to like with a high standard of Clippers basketball, even though they're probably playing the best in the two and three era, not even a probably anymore. Come on, well, be serious level with me. This is the best they have ever looked in the regular season with Kawi and Paul George, now that they have I don't know,
James hard and Russell Westbrook as well. Yeah, it's it's absolutely unreal. I love James Harden's aggression. I think anytime we can get both him and Paul George eleven three point attempts, especially when it's coming in the flow of the offense. You know, nothing was forced, even James explosion there in the fourth quarter. I mean, I thought that it's looking so cohesive that you know, we talked about this a little bit. It's it's a little
scary. It's like it's almost, I don't want to say, too good to be true, but it's it's looking like a it's looking like a unit that I did not think that this team could put together just a few weeks ago. And I don't know, it's how are you feeling about the sustainability because I'm not really seeing I mean, like tonight, we have some great shooting splits, I don't expect us to score over one fifty on a nightly basis, But I'm not really seeing anything that's like a massive outlier for this
team right now? Where are you those shooting splits fifty seven fifty eighty seven from the field and from the three are allowed there? No, I'm with you. I understand that it's an outlier. I guess scoring wise, scoring one hundred and fifty one, you can't rely on that. But they did just score one forty four. And I still think James Harden what he did in the fourth quarter, Yes that is not repeatable. That was an all
time performance, but he can still play better with this team. I mean, I get the skepticism because we've never seen him play this well in the regular season before together and take things this seriously and not just be locked in game to game, but quarter to quarter, possession to possession. And it makes you feel as a Clippers fan that has some scar tissue built up of oh, just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Well, instead, the shoe is up. The opponents took us right now, That's what it
looks like out there from this team. Will they're given a lot of shoes, but would you say they're given no quarters? They gave one in this game, none last game. One in the first quarter and it took that Buddy Healed three pointer at the very end of the buzzer to get the Pacers that first quarter win. But I mean, Big Zoo is just getting better and he's having his moment, and it's due to James Harden. How can you guys not see it? I know you see it will there's a correlation
there. The reason Big Zoo is playing like this is because he has one of the ultimate playmaking point guards next to him. Oh one d per Look last year, the clippers entire defensive rating for the entire season was because it was about a ten game stretch of Visa Zubots playing other worldly defense. What did we see throughout the stretch of the season. It didn't carry up he things. There were too many gaps to fill. He was asked to do
too much. The body language changed. He was completely ignored on offense. And now we're addressing both things. Right. We have a lot more defenders around him, so he can stay locked in and do what he does well and then he's getting rewarded at a level. Fir scene, He's never had a pick and roll partner like James Harden, He's never gotten these kind of lobs like it is. It is unreal. And I think we're gonna see a different Zoo, you know, I talked about it the other night.
I think he's gonna be a double double machine for the rest of the season. And I think that this is gonna like I think that his his focus and intensity is only gonna stay locked in for the rest of the season in a way that we I don't think we've gotten, to be honest with you, I'm a Zoo supporter. I don't think we've gotten a full season at a zoo like what I am predicting we're gonna see for the rest of this One first bucket, a little runner off the glass, was from a great
shovel pass from James Harden. I think that was the first bucket of the ballgame, actually, But then he had a floater. Another one in the second quarter when he came in back in for Daniel Tice, he blocked a layup. He's been a force defensively still, It's not like the offense is going to his head and he's forgot about his number one priority out there.
But a dunk in the second quarter huge throwdown once again, second straight game with big time jams and then an end one to start the third quarter. Aviatza zubats I think the point here is and why this is a little bit perplexing with just how good they've been, I would point to this, they just have so many ways to beat you right now, and there's so many different guys that could have a big night and you only need really one or two of them too, and it turns into a blowout. It can be
that simple. Does it feel like because it's feeling like to me like this season and I don't want to put it down because things aren't going so well, but it to me feels like there's an urgency intensity where in the locker room, I feel like, top to bottom of the roster, everybody feels like this could be our shot. And it's not like it was in twenty
twenty. It's not even like it was in twenty twenty one. They see now how short windows can be and how everything has to click, and there's just a different I don't know, there's just a there's a different intensity to it that I haven't seen from this team. Yeah, there's a level of poise out there and intensity and urgency Coahi's thirty two, Paul George's thirty three. You wouldn't know it by their play right now, but their basketball mortality
of their prime is somewhat approaching. I mean, guys have extended primes in this league today. We see it all the time, but it's at least worth pointing out. Of course, they are playing possibly for contracts right now. I think that has to be brought up. Coach lou Extension eligis well, all these guys know that this could be the last dance with this group.
I don't believe it will be by any stretch of the imagination, especially with the way they're playing now and by bringing in James Harden and giving up a first round pick for him. I think you're committed to this. But they have a great opportunity here to put it together to be a much better regular season team, which can make you a better postseason team. We talk about it all the time, but outside of the ninety five Houston Rockets,
you've got to be a top three seed to win the championship. That's what has been in the modern era. normOn patis that's not feeling out of it like that's just not feeling out of hand right now, like that seems very approachable. And I do want to say I do want to say one thing, just because you brought up the contract and I think that that's fair.
You know, we haven't seen anything official. I would be shocked if there wasn't something there wasn't at least a tentative agreement behind towards because there's no way that we opened into it without There's no way that we opened into it without Kawhi, Paul George and and Jans Harden. I'm sorry that's just not happening. But I think Kawhi said it best in the postseason the other night,
or in the post game press of the other night. Someone asked him about this insane stretch of play that he that he's on right now, and he said, yeah, I mean the numbers are great, but I'm playing for something bigger and I think that that is just so evident. It's very palpable with this team this year. Yeah, and we'll play that audio. Thanks for reminding me of that will at the very end of the show, because
it was almost kind of ominous. I mean, Kawhi is laconic when he says something, it has more weight because obviously he's not that vocal, at least off the court, but that comment that kind of underscores his mindset the
play of this team why they look so much more focused now. But I think they also can see, oh, we have everything we need and if we can just come together and guys continue to sacrifice, it's there for the taking, and they can have special nights like tonight, and they can have special runs like we've seen over the last three weeks because of the level of
talent. When you stack talent like this, you have an opportunity to do something that no other team has with the Los Angeles Clippers, and right now they're on a run that I don't know. I know they won seventeen straight in the Lob City era at one point, but this just feels like domination right now because of the teams they're playing and the way they're putting them away well, and I love, I mean, I love what you said about
stacking the talent and everybody feels it. But they're not. They're not winning on the margins. They're not waiting to just get by on talent. What we're seeing is a like combined team wide greatness, you know what I mean. Like, we've seen games where this team has had a lot of talent and they've known that they have that in their back pocket, and sometimes they wait to turn that on. And that's just that's not what I'm seeing right
now through through these eight games. Yeah, there is a different mentality. If you thought it was just lip service when they said they were gonna take the regular season more seriously, I think it's been cool. Can we be honest, it looked like it was there. Well, they got off to
a decent start. Then you bring in James Harden, you lose six straight and there's this learning curve and it's hard to know, Okay, is it because they're just figuring things out or if they let their foot off the gas and they're not playing the same way as they were, you know, talking about playing coming into training camp. It's it's crazy, but it's been a great run. It's been a fun time on clips and dip as well. I don't know, maybe we should do another YouTube tomorrow after a game like
this tonight. We'll see. It's the holidays, I get it, but well, thanks for coming on and doing a little double dip tonight, and I apologize for the other night and not calling you. Absolutely my pleasure next time, come on, Clippers, let's hold the Pacers under one twenty. Come on, guys, have some shame, show some pride out there. I first score one hundred and fifty one points. They win in Indianapolis, won fifty one to twenty seven over the Pacers. Next game coming up on
Wednesday. We'll play that Kawhi Leonard audio at the very end here on the way out. But before we get out of here, I do want to thank the Clippers organization, Ralph Lawler, Bryan Seeman, know It EGO, Carlo Amennez on the call tonight, Big b O, Jake Warner, head engineer, Katie Newton, our producer. Great job Katie. Until Wednesday with their pregame show from Dallas starting at four point thirty, I'm Adam Moslam.
We'll talk to you, then listen to Kawhi Leonard here twy. This is one hundred and sixty nine points for you, one hundred and seventy seven minutes on sixty five percent. It's the best kind of stretch of your career here, I mean, if you want to put it in numbers wise, but uh, you know, Uh, I'm more focused on something bigger than just stretch. Kawhi was doing his thing. All they want to do is win in La, I win. I thought they gave everything they had. This
