Terence Man is ure 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. Who's man is this? I will be the Clippers parents man who was showing the Golden State Warriors no love on Valentine's Days. The Clippers win one nineteen, so one oh four. Welcome into your post game show.
This is Clipper Stock. I'm Adam Osland to eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number if you'd like to get on or get to me at follow Adam a on Twitter. Coming up. Aside from your phone calls, we'll hear from Coach Loop post game and Terrence Man who hid his season high well in his regular season high of twenty five points, but did most of his damage in the second half. Or believe it or not, he outscored Steph Curry
in the second half eighteen to seven. Stefitely took two shots total in the second half after he had a twenty six point first half in this one. And Steph has cooked the Clippers and everybody else, but specifically this season the Clippers. In the first half he was averaging twenty three against them. He
outdid that with twenty six. He could not miss. I believe he was yes nine of eleven from the field, six of seven from the outside, and the Golden State Warriors were eleven of twenty from three at the half and the Clippers still lad Why because of great ball movement and sticking to what they do best drive kick, swing, make the extra pass. I retweeted a tweet from my friend Jamal Christopher who covers the Clippers for the Law of the
jam the Pod. He was all with me recently, but he had documented one of the better plays in a third quarter where the Clippers swung it around the perimeter beautifully. It ended up in a miss on a three pointer from Terrence Man. But if Visaszu Boss was there for the tipping. But the unselfish play from this team, the willingness to pass, because right now without Kawai, Paul George, without Norman Powell, New Clipper had only been three
games in before he got hurt. Unfortunately, without Luke an Ard, with the ankle injury that he was playing through. The hole has to be greater than the sum of its parts, and the only way for that to happen is through ball movement. The Clippers don't have enough isolation players right now, superstars that can just go out and get you a bucket. They have a couple of guys that can do it. Reggie Jackson, Marcus Morris, Brandon Boston. Believe it or not, he's got a lot in his bag.
He came in late and had eight points on three or three shooting. He was just chomping at the bid. Eight points in four minutes. Brand Boston. But they have to create open looks for one another, and that's something they did in spades tonight. Fifteen to thirty four is what the Clippers shot from the outside. That's forty four percent. Remember last season they ended up being top five in the history of the NBA from the outside shooting forty one
percent from three. They've been down. They've been close to top ten and three point shooting this year, but it hasn't been the same. They could say obviously, no Kauai at all, Paul George only playing in twenty six
games. That's a big part of it, but also with all the turnover on the roster, there just hasn't been the same familiarity, the chemistry and the ability to Jael to the point where you see more games like this from the Clippers offensively, because remember they're twenty sixth and offense coming in and they just took out the Golden State Warriors by putting up one hundred and nineteen points wow, playing great defense and holding the Golden State Warriors to one oh four,
just forty five points in the second half. Because outside of Steph Curry in that first half and his twenty six points, nobody else for them had more than seven. And we talked about this strategy before with coach Lou. He'll say, Okay, Luca, you're good enough. Can you beat us tonight while we stop everybody else. And that's what they did Saturday. They made him more one dimensional. He had forty five points, but the Clippers
still won tonight. Steph Curry was the only guy who had it going and was the only guy who was really in rhythm, and that can happen, and look, Steph kan nuki and beat you by himself. Sometimes he's that good. But if you play the odds if nobody else is touching the basketball
enough. While Clay Thompson ends up going three or fourteen for seven points after having his best game since he returned after nine hundred and forty some odd days, and it's good to see him back, but he struggled just seven points in this one, Kuban Looney just seven and was being punished on the other end by a Visa Zubots, who who looked like someone who was free because he no longer had to chase Luca Dontage around like he did Saturday night for
forty minutes. A Visa Zubats looked like a guy whose cardio was way up there. He was relentless. He didn't get tired in this one, and he was attacking and punishing Golden State Warriors, including Cavan Looney at the basket. He got back to doing what he does best, protecting the rim and
being a force inside. On offense, he had eighteen in eight, but some of those dunks from him, there was a different level of nasty to it, a different competitive streak in him, and you gotta have confidence even with what Luca Dontage did Saturday night and those twenty three points he had in the fourth quarter, if everybody else is saying, we believe in you in this one on one matchup, and we can win the ball game this way. And he frustrated Luca to the point where he was jumping up and down
like an angry doctor Robotnick and Sonic the Hedgehog. He had steam coming from his ears on a miss as he had a floater that was right in front of Vizza zu Bots sitting. He got a piece of it. That has to give you some confidence and some carry over, and I think it did. But this is even bigger because now a Visa zu Bots goes against a team that used to take him off the floor in the playoffs in twenty nineteen. He couldn't play in that series because Golden State would go small and he'd
get run off the floor or he miss his assignment. But he's twenty four years of age. He's gotten so much more cerebral out there and for him to be able to switch out to guys. He had a play on Pool where he caused a turnover and it started from beyond the arc. Pool had him one on one on an island, and a Visa Zubots found a way to create a turnover out of that unbelievable defense, and that's really iron sharpin's
iron. But when you have to go against the best, one of the best, at least one of the most amazing players I've ever seen in Luka, dontch it makes you better. And Zoobots looks like a different player the last couple of games now and just the ways you can use him. We knew it was there, but for him to prove it to himself. I think that he can guard Smalls at this high level of a level. This is meaningful moving forward. Same with Terrence Man. We knew it was there.
His twenty one points and the dog that he showed Saturday, going back and forth doing some barkins with Luca done that competitiveness, that spirit, it brought out the best in him and he carried it over into this game. And without Eric Bledsoe, now, without Norman Powell, without even someone like Justice Winslow was playing good bat basketball in Portland now and was handling the ball here with the Clippers. Terrence Man is back to running the show a lot.
He and Reggie Jackson, and Man was flourishing out there. The age of Man Who've said it before, but the way he was playing this was
playoff Terrence Man. When he plays with this level of energy and purpose and he's just driving to the basket relentlessly and taking it coast to coast, not a lot of guys can hang with him, and also playing some good defense, I might add against Steph Curry making life tough on him in the second half, and I think one of the best ways this slow down staff is to go right at him, make him work defensively, and the Clippers did
that a lot. But Terrence Man, this was a growing moment the last couple of games for him, where you can see he's just he's turning into more of that consistent Terrence Man player that I think most Clip Clippers fans thought he would become this season. Instantly didn't happen. But the maturation process isn't always like that. Progress isn't linear, take one step back to take two
steps forward. And we were talking about a postgame with Noah Eagle, but him playing point early on in his career under Doc Rivers, it may be paying dividends now because while the game was moving too fast for him then to play that position, well, now it's slowed down and he looks much more comfortable out there. But he ties his regular season career high with twenty five
points, and I just love the fact that he just kept attacking. And when he is going like that, the Clippers looked like they can beat anybody, even with a Kauai and Paul George and Norman Powell and Luke Kennard. Unbelievable victory for the Clippers to night, something they can build off of and just gonna have to happen fast because they're taking on the Phoenix Suns tomorrow in Phoenix. Yeah, they don't get much easier. We knew the stretch would
be tough. Things do soften up in the schedule after tomorrow night, but we're not gonna go that far ahead yet. Let's uh take a phone call though, before we break here eight six six ninety seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy Ray in Torrance, you're on Clippers stuck without a maslin. Hi, Ray, Hey Adam, this was a beautiful night. Valentine's Day brought my bride to the game, going down to San Diego for a conference. Gonna have a great drive after that game.
I have not seen him play this well. If the spacing was awesome, they frustrated the hell out of out of both Clay and step in that second half. It was just beautiful to see. I don't know where his teams have been all year, but if they keep playing like this, they're they're gonna be in good shape for the rest of the season. Ray, I appreciate the phone call. Yeah, they were locked in and focused from the outset. Even though Golden State won that first quarter. What are you gonna
do when Steff is that hot and has sixteen points. They had to deal with him having twenty five points in the first quarter earlier this season. But the Clippers, they hung around because of the ball movement and they were knocking down shots and somebody else. And we talked about it early on or in the first half. Know what, Ego and I Nick Batoum looked intent on no longer hesitating with his shot. As soon as he touched the basketball.
It was catching shoot and when he's not thinking about it. He was in a slight funk the last couple of games. Well, tonight four of seven from the outside, fourteen points. Don't even think he had to play in the fourth quarter, but he looked like a different player, and Robert Covington all well, No, he had eleven points. All of them came in the second half. That third quarter though, where he had seven points and was also getting deflections. But that corner three that he can hit, he's
deadly from there. The Clippers are as a team. I'll tell you more about that coming up. But he's been shooting forty eight percent from the corner. Even though he's been shooting thirty five percent from three overall, forty eight percent from the corner. Put him in his spots where he will succeed. I think the Clippers they do as good of a job of that as any team out there, just putting players in a position to succeed. Coach lou he's the coach of the year. He should be. I know he wants
to give it to Bickerstaff in Cleveland, also deserving of votes. But I usually look at it as who's doing the most with lesser talent or so many guys being banged up and so many different starting lineups, And nobody's dealt with more of that than the Clippers, and they're still twenty nine thirty and hanging in there. And finding ways to take down teams that are at the top of the West. All right, we'll take a quick time out. We'll
come back. We'll get some more of your phone calls. Eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight two five seventy you'll hear from coach Lou Auntie Man. Maybe Gregi Jackson a great balance to his game nineteen and nine, just three turnovers that group to Isaiah Hartenstein. The fourth quarter was special. Clippers win by fifteen over the Splash Brothers. Here
in downtown Los Angeles, this is Clipper Stock. I'm out of Maslins and there listening to AM five seventy year I sports saw you have I kiss up crying LA Clippers Basketball continue Safetime shot down the stretch. This is the official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. I wanna be me just in mynn reabe ain't on the Hairlo Juesdale if I'm in my mind and wherever Jusdale and I'm damn. The Clippers were good tonight one nine four over the Golden State Warriors.
Kay dot with the tunes. Here is Valentine State. How we not I know Clipper Nation has a love affair with this team and especially tea man who they drafted and over the last four games now getting eighteen six and four on fifty eight percent shooting. Perhaps this is that moment where the consistency really starts to come from him, where he comes into his own and knows exactly the role he has to play with this team, because when he plays like
this, the Clippers are tough to beat. They win by fifteen over Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Welcome back into Clippers stock. I'm at I'm auslin eight six sixty nine eight seven two five seventy eight six sixty nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number, Tom and Huntington Beach. Tom, you're on Clippers staff with that him? Awesome, Adam, it's good to talk to you again. How are you? What's up? Man? We're not gonna do it tonight. Huh, it's all love is in
the air. Oh no, no, we're done. We're done with that. I think I think we're a past that. We've played it out. It's like that's what she said joke at this point. Come on, it's not funny anymore exactly. But anyways, it. Just got back from the game with my mom. Took her through her first Clippers game with my dad. We had a great time, you know. It was good for her to see us get this the best of w that we had all years. So it's definitely quite the Valentine's Say for us. But how about our team,
Man, that was the best team win we've had tonight. I think you said it best about Terrence Man. When he plays like that, nobody's stopping us. It's it's quite impossible. Well, people could, but I think tu bots. He's definitely not been playing well lately. It's definitely been a lot of my criticism. He stepped up tonight and was extremely big, especially when they started double teaming at the top of the key. So just seeing our guys go out there and Reggie Jackson and just attacking the rim,
especially when we were in the bonus, it's great to see. It's great to see overall, great win, and I hope you're doing well. Tom. I'm saying to you and the family, glad you guys came out for this one. Clippers win by fifteen over the Golden State Warriors, and you can make the argument it was their most complete victory based upon who was available, the way they ran their offense, which was true to Clipper's form with all the ball movement, but then also not letting up defensively, especially in
that second half, just giving up forty five points. But the difference was in that first half of Golden State Warriors go eleven of twenty from three, second half five of twenty one from the outside, and for whatever reason, Steph Curry, even Steph Curry got a little bit gun shy. He started off six of seven in the first quarter, then three or four in the second quarter, one of five in that third quarter after having twenty six points of a half. I would have thought he would have put up ten shots
in that third and then one of two and the fourth. But obviously they waved the white flag early. They saw the riding on the wall. Clippers wins. Sean and Englewood. You're on Clippers stock tonight. What's up, Sean? Hey, Adam Heigen Dilm Chris, I'm good, Sean. What'd you think of the ball games? Loved it. As I've been saying many times before, Terrence Man needs to start because he pushes the ball and gets them into early all tense, and he gets you about twenty to twenty five
easy shots the game for himself and the others. And just think if everybody came back, what Terrice could do. So what's your starting lineup? Let me ask you, Sean, what's your starting lineup? If everybody's healthy, how does he make it in? Well, Terris can play the point and Reggie can come month the bench. You can have either Reggie start or you can have Marcus Morris start. And of course U you know George and Kauai
and Zubach. But the thing is is that he's just gonna get your early shots, put a lot of pressure on the other team, and then he energizes the rest of the guys so they're into it. And I used to compare or I still do trying to compare him to his look like Tyrese Maxie if of Philadelphia. But Tyrese Maxie had just got more opportunity than Terrace, especially this year. But Terrace is everything that Tyrese is, maybe more, and they just got to give him more opportunity. And he'll have the numbers
just like the last two starts twenty one and then next twenty five. So when he's playing well, he gets all the run, you know, Coach lou he goes with the hot hand. Yeah, but the thing is stayed with him for a little bit because, as I said, getting that early shot and getting everybody motivated is really something. If you know, the Clippers are notorious and starting to slow in the first quarter, so that's why they're
coming back from twenty points down and thirty points down. You know, let him get out there and maybe the don't have to come back and play up hills for the rest of the game so much, Okay, Jean, I appreciate the phone call. The thing I like from Terrence Man is coming off the hot shooting night he had with twenty one points in Dallas and the hot temper night that he and Luca Doncher chad. He started off aggressively, even without just getting shots at the RAM. His first two mates were jump shots,
believe it or not. When he has that going for him, and while he only went one of five from distance, he hit a couple on the mid ranch and then defenses, well, they had to play him closer and he could blow right by him. When he has that complete game going like that, and we've seen it, people called him baby Kawhi before because some of that mid range is there. If you can unlock it, there's a completely different Clippers squad. I agree with you. They feed off his
energy. It permeates throughout the roster when he's getting up and down the floor like this, And I think that's something he learned from Patrick Beverley, who I believe just signed an extension with Minnesota recently. But when one guy is playing that hard all the time, everybody else has to raise their level of play. And Terrence Man creates that energy, creates that mindset that you have to have out there, even when you know you got the Phoenix Suns tomorrow
night and you might have to save some energy. But the Clippers actually because they got up by so much, Marcus Morris was under thirty minutes. Same with Batom of Eats a Zoobots again. Covington, we'll hear from him in a little bit again, he gave them really good minutes Saturday night. He was a plus twelve in his twelve minutes, only hit a couple of shots,
but defensively contesting everything. And he has some of that rare ability like Isaiah Hartenstein, where he can track the ball and get those easy deflections or blocks because of it, just the anticipation factor with him. It's something we saw even a little bit with Eric Bledsoe too. Certain guys can get those chase down blocks. Covington has a knack for it, that innate ability. That's a really good pickup for the Clippers, and they're using him the right
way, putting him in corners. That's where he hit. Knocks down those threes from hit two of them in this one. Clippers win one nineteen to one on four. We'll take a quick break. We'll get back to your phone calls. Eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six sixty nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number we'll hear from Rocco and the head coach as well. This is Clippers Talk live from Crypto dot Com
arena. I'm out of Moslin and you're listening to Amy seventy Always love me too much or you'll be left in that does unless I stop by. Get the sun Flower, Get the sun Flow. This is La Clippers Basketball Corner three for the time he got it. This is the official hole of your La Clippers, made up of these three words that I must say to you. I just go just say I love you. I just go say to call let's say you love me or the Clippers that's allowed to know it's Valentine's
Day. Clippers went one nineteen to one over four over step Curry in the Golden State Warriors. I called my grandma earlier, who lives in San Francisco, and she thinks Steph Curry's cute. And so I was talking some junk and be like Graham and the Clippers tonight they're gonna take down the Warriors. Just you wait, and they did. I hope Graham. Graham's watching Clippers win by fifteen. Coming up, We will get back to your phone calls
at eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy. Eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number. But I do want to hear from the mastermind behind what's been an unbelievable stretch for the Clippers of having guys out no Powell now, no Luke Canard tonight and him just holding things together. It's coach Lou post game who just seems to figure out the right matchups at the right time to unlock the best of what he has available to
him here he was speaking with the media. It was a bit of a struggle for you guys. I think, you know, we scored the ball a little bit, you know, and kind of kept Hi out of transition, you know, on miss shots, and so when we scoring the basketball, was able to get back and set our defense and they don't really push it fast after after makes, and so that was good for us. And also a teammate getting in the back court and not allowing Step to catch it
early and then backing up. I thought it was really good for us. And so when you're scoring, you could stay out of transition, you know, most of the time. And so that's what we did. But you know, I just thought tonight was one of our you know, most complete games of the season, you know, on both sides of the basketball. Even with Step getting off to that that hot start, you know, we was able to adjust and you know, do a better job with blitzing small
small picking rolls instead of switching Zoo. Was better than the second half of getting up blitzing and not allow him to turn the corner. And I think what happened, what seven points in the second half after having twenty six and a half times. So the guys did a really good job with just locking in and understand what we wanted to do defensively after stepped out to that a hot start. I remember that, you know, in the twenty sixteen finals.
You really made step for work in that series, and it looked like tonight, you know, even though he was getting his all offensively tough contention, looks he's really made him work on the defensive side of the floor. How much is that part of your game? Planning to really tire him out on that end, hopefully doesn't you know, affect him on the offensive too. I mean, he's so dangerous, probably the most dangerous player in the league, you know, the way he can get hot and score the basketball.
So we gotta make him work on both ends and try to get him in foul to if we can try to warm him down, try to hit him as much as possible. Like you said, you know, when you deal with a two time MVP and someone I have great respect for, you know, you just gotta try to keep him involved and just keep him in ash and trying to wear him down. You gotta remember in you know, two thousand and seventeen, In two thousand and eighteen we witch to him still
with Clay Thompson and Kevin durrown the floor. So that's how dangerous I think he is. And so that's what we had to do tonight, had to do a better job of getting our biggs up because we were late. But you know Steve, Steve does a great job of running some actions where the biggs always trailing and he can split it. He can do different things. But in the second half, I thought we did a way better job. It's how you have plenty of evidence that you guys are a pretty resilient group.
But having the Luca you know, forty five and fifty one and you guys staying close or winning those games so fresh in your memory. Did that help tonight? You guess whether the first quarter? Yeah, I think so. But I mean, like I said, the biggest thing we kept scoring, you know, just like in Dallas, like he was scoring a lot of he was scoring, step was scoring in that first quarter. But we were still up, you know, So that was just a good thing,
you know, to weather the storm. And then down a stretch of the first quarter they kind of took the lead and always up by three. I think so Luca in the Luca game. The second game, he wasn't scoring that much in the first quarter, and so we was able to, you know, score some points and kind of you know, keep him at bays like we did tonight with with the with the Warriors was Step got a hot and start. There was Coach lou post game Clippers win in one nineteen to
one oh four here in downtown Los Angeles over the Golden State Warriors. They're low point for a quarter was twenty five if you were spend all points they scored in a quarter tonight was twenty five. They had thirty four, twenty seven, thirty three outside of that, and that was in the fourth quarter when they also called off the dogs. I don't know how many games I can say that happened this season where their lowest scoring quarter was still twenty five.
Clippers offense, you heard Coach lu there. They kept in sync and it made a great point, a salient point as a basketball mastermind. But when you're scoring, you don't have to worry so much about getting in transition or you're transition defense failing you because you're hitting shots and they're taking it out of bounds underneath the basket. Every time you get sit on the other end. That's huge Clippers, huge victory on Valentine's Night they take down the Golden
State Warriors one nineteen to one oh four. We'll take a quick time out. We'll come back. You'll hear from Robert Kevington post game he had eleven ranna something this one that it serves like one of a few PG ones. I guess at this point, now there's anything wrong with that. I'm not criticized at Grihanna ever. Know that Moore Clippers stock next only at five seventy only sports EMBLA LA Clippers Basketball continued, safe time shot down the stretch.
This is the official home of the Los Angeles Clippers. Everything that I see on show halve new motions and love scrape in the bottom of their on. Now you left jamrk on me. I'm show hove motion Clippers in one nineteen to one oh four over the Golden State Warriors here in downtown Los Angeles,
live from Crypto dot Com arena. I'm out of Moslin eight six six ninety eight seven two five seventy eight six sixty ninety eight seven two five seventy is the phone number I just saw this stat from my friend law Murray of the Athletic saying, the Clips lost their first eight games of the season where a player made four or more three pointers in a quarter against them, but since then they've won two straight. Luca don Chich had four three pointers in the
fourth quarter Saturday night. Steph Curry had four three pointers in the first quarter tonight. The Clippers survive and they overcome it. The hot shooting that used to come back to haunt them by one player in one quarter seems to be turning around. But we'll see tomorrow night they're in Phoenix. Before that, though, I do want to hear from Robert Covington post game, one of your newest Clippers, and I believe he was speaking with Jamie Mozio on Valley
Sports Christina Pink again on Valley Sports. Every time, Brian, a fantastic win, indeed against the team that's got the second best record in the NBA. You guys let at halftime and really broke this game open in the second half. How are you guys able to put the clamps on them late? Just think it's our game play Defensively, We came out and said that we knew that they was gonna be a third quarter team. They've been known for that. Uh, someone's sneaking behind you. Hey, my guy, here's
my guy's work, and clip Nation already. Hey, let's get a baby. But just overall steak to the game plan and the guys came out of execute it. So that's what the main thing was. And we stuck out throughout it that entire third quarter and then to finish out the game. You know, that's what kind of separated us. I think Reggie wants to introduce you to Clipper Nation. You had eleven points off the bench, which was huge. But what you've been able to do defensively, you seem to deflect
anything that comes in your vicinity. How are you always in the right spot on defense? Read and react? You know, I've built my legacy and build my revertation off the defense, and you know I brought my defensive mentality here. So for me, we just talked about this before the game. Uh, but just you know, watching a lot of film and being instinctive like read and react and watching plays and you know, just having the overall
react and not hesitating. So you know, it's just it's just a matter of just keep following it through a you know, exqing the game plan. This is just your fifth game as a Clipper, and you've already had an impact. What's your comfort level so far with its team? Man doing anything by any means necessary, you know, that's why they brought me here. I'm a guy that can do any system any row. So whatever say you
asked me to do, I'm gonna do it. And you know I come here and bring that mentality so you know, once once I get out there on the court, you know it's just to do it all guy, And that's what I'm gonna bring. The Clip Nation. All right on to Phoenix. Thank you, ro guy. All right, thank you Clippers in Phoenix tomorrow night tip time at seven, we'll have your Clippers countdown show. At
