00:00Kings and Angels.
00:23Our story brings us to Philadelphia
00:26where the Clippers look to bounce back
00:27after a tough loss yesterday in Boston.
00:30James Hart and the Clippers showed fight
00:32battling back from down 24
00:34have a chance to tie at the buzzer.
00:37They will need that same fight tonight
00:38as they take on the surprising Philadelphia 76ers.
00:42Tyrese Maxey has had a monster start to his season
00:44as the Sixers competing every single night.
00:47The Clippers know tonight will not be easy.
00:50We welcome you inside of Xfinity Mobile Arena
00:52alongside Jim Jackson.
00:53I'm Brian Seaman.
00:54Great to have you with us.
00:55Lauren Rosen joins us in just a moment.
00:57I don't know what else we can say
00:59about James Hart with his time with the Clippers.
01:01He has been hero after hero after hero.
01:0441 on Friday in a double overtime game.
01:06Battles the Clippers all the way back.
01:07Yesterday in Boston with 37.
01:09He just continues to impress.
01:11I rarely go back and talk about
01:13when I used to play.
01:14You know, the old guy would get off my lawn.
01:16But I'm using it in this example.
01:18James is playing like an old school player.
01:20Doesn't matter.
01:21Hurt.
01:22Beat up.
01:22Tired.
01:23You play back-to-back games.
01:24You play after a little bit of rest.
01:27You play when you don't feel like playing.
01:30That's what James Harden has done.
01:31He's put himself in a situation where
01:33you can talk about leadership all you want.
01:36But you've got to be on the court.
01:37You've got to show it.
01:38And that's what James Harden has been doing.
01:40Not just last night, but moving forward.
01:42And also playing in this game tonight.
01:44Well, Harden was a sixer for a short time.
01:46And his understudy, Tyrese Maxey,
01:48clearly took very good notes.
01:51Maxey has taken off.
01:52He'll be an all-star for the rest of his career.
01:54And has Philadelphia on his back right now.
01:56Well, he's coachable.
01:56And that's the thing about it.
01:58You take coachability along with an outstanding talent,
02:01you're going to get a player like Tyrese Maxey.
02:02I mean, not just to score in 32 points.
02:05You're playing 40 minutes a game.
02:06Okay?
02:07He's doing all the little things necessary
02:09to be a leader on the team.
02:10And that's why I think the transition
02:12has already begun to take place
02:14as far as a face at a franchise.
02:16No longer will it be Joel Embiid.
02:17It's Tyrese Maxey.
02:19For these reasons and a lot more,
02:21the youth, the smile,
02:23and the education on how to get better as a player.
02:26And speaking of passing it down,
02:28helping young fella V.J. Edgecomb
02:29kind of motor through his way as a rookie year.
02:32Had an outstanding in October.
02:34Struggling a little bit in November.
02:36But he's intangible.
02:37What he can do athletically,
02:39defensively, and offensively are in place.
02:42These are the things that rookies go through.
02:44Look for him to come out of that slough
02:46after our game tonight.
02:47From one rookie to another,
02:49Kobe Sanders has been impressive
02:51when called upon.
02:53He'll get the start tonight.
02:54Jim Jackson will tell us
02:55what he's brought to the table after this.
03:04Basketball is brought to you by Ticketmaster.
03:06As the official ticket marketplace
03:08of the Los Angeles Clippers and the NBA,
03:10Ticketmaster gets you to the game live.
03:12By Morongo, celebrating 20 years of good times.
03:18And by Gray Goose, official partner of the Clippers.
03:21Make time wait.
03:24You know, early in the season,
03:25Teron New felt that this team needed a little energy.
03:28So he turned to some young rookies,
03:30in particular, Kobe Sanders, and he's delivered.
03:33In 23 minutes, you know, his energy was infectious.
03:36You could feel.
03:37And here's a prime example of what I mean by that.
03:40As Kobe is going to seek out this rebound,
03:45he may not get it.
03:46And he doesn't get it.
03:47But his energy and effort,
03:49being able to tip it out,
03:52extended the possession,
03:53and as a result,
03:54Bogey's able to not get an open three.
03:57And then if you continue this,
03:59with this effort,
04:00things pay off.
04:01And here,
04:02Kobe's going to come in from the left side once again,
04:04and you'll see him.
04:05Now watch this.
04:06You got two players
04:07that are centered on blocking out Brook Lopez.
04:12So Kobe does a smart thing.
04:13He's almost like NASCAR.
04:15You follow the draft in there,
04:16and now you're able to cross the finish line.
04:18Kobe, offensive rebound.
04:19Critical moment of the game
04:21because of the hustle,
04:22because of the energy
04:23and because of the effort,
04:24able to make an impact.
04:26Well, the youngster will get his first career start
04:28tonight in Philadelphia.
04:30It's Clippers Sixers next.
04:39Now the top of City Hall
04:41in downtown Philadelphia
04:42where the Clippers are.
04:43Tail end of a back-to-back.
04:45Tonight's game presented by
04:46Marongo Casino Resort and Spa.
04:48This is the third of a seven-game trip away
04:51from Ingle.
04:52We'll take a look at the starting five.
04:53It's another starting five for Teron Liu.
04:56You'll see Kobe Sanders,
04:57who's been impressive
04:58in the limited role that he has had
05:00in this early season,
05:01gets the nod.
05:03You'll see Paul George
05:04making his season debut tonight
05:06for the Philadelphia 76ers.
05:08Let's head it down to Lauren.
05:10Hey, Brian.
05:11Let's talk about Derek Jones Jr.,
05:13who is in the building tonight
05:15but will not play.
05:16Derek exited the contest in Boston yesterday early
05:19after an apparent knee injury
05:21sent him to the locker room late in the first half.
05:24He did not return,
05:25and today we learned he was diagnosed
05:26with a sprained MCL in his right knee.
05:29He will be reevaluated in six weeks.
05:31So unfortunately,
05:32not exactly the homecoming
05:34DJ was hoping for here in Philly,
05:36but he and his family
05:37still in the building
05:38supporting the Clippers tonight.
05:39Derek is from Chester, Pennsylvania,
05:41and he says growing up in Chester
05:43and going to school in Philly
05:44made him who he is today.
05:47He told me everything I am is from here.
05:49Going back home when my parents get to see me,
05:51it's everything.
05:52And guys, he will far exceed
05:53his ticket allotment tonight.
05:55John Collins overheard this conversation
05:57in the locker room,
05:58and he said, bro,
05:59you can take my tickets for sure.
06:00So shout out to the Jones family
06:02and of course sending Derek all our best
06:04while he recovers.
06:06Lauren, thanks.
06:06Let's be honest.
06:07That's great news.
06:09You never thought you'd be rooting
06:10for a knee sprain,
06:11but after what we saw yesterday,
06:12that's exactly what we were hoping for.
06:16Bill re-evaluated in six weeks,
06:18so we are thankful for that,
06:19to be quite honest.
06:21And Colby Sanders
06:21gets the battlefield promotion
06:23as the Sixers win the tap.
06:25This is the rookie DJ Edgecombe.
06:27He has been impressive
06:28to start his career.
06:30Jim pointed out struggling
06:31a little bit from the field
06:33in his last six games,
06:34shooting just 32% from the field.
06:36Misfires there as former Sixer
06:38James Hartn gets a Philadelphia
06:39greeting down the lane.
06:41Went to Whistle,
06:42not going to get it.
06:42Sixers rebound.
06:44Paul George gets it ahead
06:46to Tyrese Maxey,
06:47back to George.
06:48Rises and fires for three.
06:51Saw a lot of that for the Clippers.
06:53Knocks it down.
06:53He did get an ovation
06:55when he was put into the starting lineup,
06:56which was interesting.
06:57Played only 41 games last year.
06:59And I talked to Paul before the game.
07:02I said, come on, bro.
07:03Did you time this thing up
07:04to come back against us,
07:05or what?
07:06He said, no, it just worked out
07:07that the hamstring,
07:09the test worked out that way.
07:11Now he was able to come in
07:13and knock his first shot in.
07:14Had a knee scope back in July as well.
07:18George back out there.
07:20Will be on a minute restriction.
07:21Draws the foul.
07:22He'll go to the line
07:22as he gives the rookie
07:24a little bit of an education.
07:26You reach,
07:26and I teach.
07:27Well, it's what he gives
07:29and provides to this Philly team
07:32is obvious, of course, of scoring.
07:34But it takes some of the load
07:36off of Tyrese Maxey
07:37from initiating offense,
07:39having to finish every possession
07:41at the shot clock sometimes,
07:43making plays for his teammates.
07:45So having Paul,
07:47even though he may be back
07:47on a minute's restriction,
07:50if it's a Paul that we know,
07:51then that's a value add
07:54to this offense, of course.
07:55This is on the first of three.
07:57Joel Embiid not playing.
07:59He's only played six games,
08:00though, so far.
08:01Had some knee soreness
08:04in the non-surgically repaired knee,
08:07which should be another concern
08:09for Sixer fans.
08:10But he's only been playing
08:11roughly 20 to 25 minutes
08:13in those six games
08:14as George makes the second free throw.
08:16Nick Nurse on the sidelines,
08:18of course, won a championship
08:19in Toronto with Kawhi Leonard.
08:22But how many times you've seen
08:24where an injured player
08:25put so much stress
08:29on the opposite side
08:30of his body,
08:31of their body,
08:31that when they come back
08:33and they start to go and play,
08:36that now they're having issues
08:38with the other side
08:39of their body
08:40just because of that load.
08:42Overcompensation.
08:43Overcompensation.
08:44Five-nothing start.
08:46Collins in from the dunker spot.
08:48Challenges Drummond.
08:49No, rebound tapped around.
08:50Zoo with the big finish inside
08:52to put the Clippers on the board.
08:54And Collins didn't get the basket,
08:56but because of his activity,
08:57that drew Andre Drummond
08:59off of Zoo,
09:01who eventually was able
09:02to clean up that offensive rebound.
09:04Inwards inside,
09:06not there.
09:06Rebound collected
09:07by the far little bigger part.
09:10And Harden the other way
09:11lays it in.
09:12Clippers played yesterday
09:13in Boston,
09:14got down by 24 points
09:16in the second half.
09:18James Harden put the team
09:19on his back
09:20along with some others,
09:21and they battled back
09:22with a chance to tie
09:23at the end of regulation.
09:25It was that kind of fight
09:27that the Clippers
09:27have been lacking
09:28really all year long
09:30as George misses on the three.
09:31Can they bring that
09:32the rest of the way?
09:33If they do,
09:34they can save this slow start
09:35to the season.
09:36Harden the other way.
09:40Sanders drives
09:41on his rookie cohort
09:42edge call,
09:43gets it to the rim
09:43and lays it in.
09:44Strong drive by Kobe Sanders.
09:46He did a straight line drive,
09:48didn't play with the basketball.
09:49He knew exactly
09:50what he wanted to do,
09:51got to his spot
09:52and was able to finish
09:53speaking of which
09:54if Maxie finishes this,
09:56that one,
09:56the crowd's going crazy.
09:57A feel-good three
09:58for the youngster.
09:59It's offline,
10:00a whistle and a hold
10:01against Philadelphia,
10:03and it will go on Barlow.
10:06The simpler you keep it,
10:09the more effective
10:09you can be.
10:10Middle of the court,
10:11he has the size
10:12over Vijay Edgecombe
10:14to get there,
10:16and then watch him here
10:17having an impact.
10:18Didn't block it,
10:18but he,
10:19that time,
10:20forced a shot from Barlow
10:21just a little bit wide.
10:24Talked to Kobe
10:25when we were in Dallas.
10:26I said,
10:26where are you most comfortable?
10:27He said,
10:28anywhere on the floor.
10:29He's done fires up
10:30and in a three.
10:31When I asked Ty Lue
10:32about Kobe earlier today,
10:34I said,
10:35what's impressed you?
10:35And he said,
10:36his confidence.
10:36And I can confirm that.
10:38Yeah, exactly.
10:40But with this confidence,
10:41he's not out there
10:42trying to do too much,
10:43Brian,
10:43which is,
10:44I think,
10:45very mature
10:46for that young man.
10:48Maxie misses
10:48on the corner three,
10:49done the other way.
10:50Philly by four.
10:52Zoom,
10:53the dotted line floater
10:54is good.
10:56And now,
10:57the Clippers out in front,
10:5911 to five.
11:01They've got the last 11
11:03of the game.
11:03George has done
11:10all the scoring
11:11for Philadelphia.
11:12Draws the crowd.
11:13Maxie.
11:15Now,
11:15Barlow trying to work
11:16on the rookie Sanders.
11:17Back to George
11:18for the catch-and-shoot three.
11:20Collins with the long wingspan,
11:22able to retrieve the loose ball.
11:23Eight and a half
11:23to play in the first quarter.
11:25Harden,
11:26a pull-up three.
11:27It's good.
11:27How about 14 straight
11:29for the Clippers?
11:308.26 to play
11:31in this first quarter.
11:32the energy
11:33you thought
11:34that maybe
11:35we wouldn't have
11:35the Clippers.
11:36We do have.
11:38Getting out on the break.
11:40Getting ahead
11:40of the defense.
11:41Having the ability
11:43now to
11:43impact the game.
11:45Really,
11:45that's what the
11:46Clippers are doing
11:48up nine early.
11:51Clippers with the last
11:5214 of the game.
11:53You heard that correctly.
11:54Time now
11:55for the Kaiser
11:55proven outcomes.
11:56And it revolves
11:57around that guy
11:58and the minutes
11:59that he has played.
12:00And I thought
12:00your example
12:02in our open
12:03about this is
12:04old school basketball.
12:05It doesn't matter
12:05if I don't feel
12:06like playing.
12:07I don't want to play.
12:07I've played a lot
12:08of minutes.
12:08This guy just
12:09keeps going out
12:10and finding ways
12:12to be competitive
12:13for this team.
12:13And in the process,
12:1528,000 points
12:16now for James Horton.
12:17How about it?
12:17But that's just
12:18being,
12:19that's called
12:19being a pro.
12:20Okay?
12:21It's just like
12:22everyday normal people
12:23wake up in the morning,
12:24don't feel like
12:25going to work,
12:25but they know
12:26they have a job
12:26to do.
12:28And this is
12:28no difference
12:29here in the NBA.
12:31Edgecombe gets
12:32below the foul line
12:33and knocks it down.
12:34I thought
12:34the beach of Zubach
12:35did a good job
12:35of containing Maxie
12:37there.
12:37That breaks
12:37the 14-0 run
12:39for the Clippers.
12:41This is the third
12:41game in four days.
12:43Two different time zones
12:44and a lot of travel
12:46in between these games.
12:48Heck, I'm a little tired
12:49from that transition
12:50to travel.
12:50And to be honest,
12:51as Collins
12:51knocks it up
12:52and in,
12:53and I mean this
12:53sincerely,
12:54if you and I
12:55are tired,
12:55how do these guys
12:56feel?
12:57And to come out
12:58the way they have
12:59is impressive.
13:00Hitting seven
13:01of 11 shots.
13:01Collins at the line
13:02for the old-fashioned
13:03three-point play.
13:04And you say,
13:04well,
13:04how can John Collins
13:05be valuable
13:06and effective
13:07within the starting
13:08lineup right there?
13:09We saw earlier
13:10crashing the weak side
13:12getting a shot up,
13:13didn't make it.
13:14Bazu put it in.
13:14That time
13:15sailing deep post position
13:16in the middle of the lane
13:17using that athleticism
13:19and big body
13:19to create a mismatch
13:21and now able to get
13:22a three-point play.
13:23A lot of times
13:24you don't have to
13:24activate the offense
13:26or be effective
13:26with the ball in your hand.
13:28You can be a secondary option,
13:30get it inside
13:30and still be effective.
13:32Edgecombe now
13:33will bring it across
13:33half court,
13:34finds George
13:35on the wing.
13:38Goes against Harden,
13:39rises in the mid-range,
13:40straight but strong.
13:42Evita Zubats
13:42the rebound,
13:43seven and a half
13:44to play in this first quarter,
13:45Clippers by ten.
13:47Clippers have struggled
13:48with double-digit leads,
13:50just four and four
13:50on the year.
13:51Sanders in the corner
13:52for three,
13:53it was on line,
13:54but Drummond able
13:55to take the rebound.
13:57With 7.20 to play
13:58in this first frame.
13:59Maxey
13:59drives on Collins.
14:04Tough shot,
14:05misses,
14:05rebound tapped up
14:06but not in by Drummond.
14:07Harden now with the ball,
14:08Clippers by ten.
14:10It was a 5-0 start
14:11for Philadelphia.
14:12It's been Clippers
14:13ever since
14:14and the meter
14:14is still running.
14:16It is 19-7.
14:18The Clippers again
14:19on a 19-2 run.
14:21Well,
14:21well,
14:21well,
14:22who would have known
14:23and thought
14:24that the Clippers
14:25would look faster
14:26and more energetic
14:27than a well-rested
14:29Philadelphia 76er team?
14:31Sixers haven't played
14:32since Friday.
14:33They're getting
14:33George back,
14:35but, you know,
14:36Jim H.
14:36is just a number.
14:38Edgecombe in the corner
14:39for three.
14:40Book it.
14:41What a value
14:42of having Paul George.
14:46Collins on the fly pattern
14:47trying to make
14:48that touchdown pass.
14:49A little too aggressive
14:50for the Clippers
14:51and it goes from
14:52bad to worse
14:53with the foul on Dunn.
14:56And Zoo has been
14:56doing a lot of this.
14:57Beating his opponent
14:59down the floor.
15:00How about James Harden
15:01putting the pass
15:02on the outside
15:03where only Zoo
15:04can catch it?
15:05Pirouette.
15:06Spins, finish,
15:09excellent fast break.
15:12And that's why
15:13the Clippers
15:13are so efficient
15:14when they do
15:15get out and run.
15:17There is good news
15:18here for the Clippers
15:19going forward
15:19schedule-wise.
15:21Two full days off
15:22tomorrow in Orlando.
15:26As Clinton Grimes
15:27has checked in,
15:28finds a cutting,
15:28Maxie misses inside
15:29but a whistle.
15:31And they say
15:31offensive goaltending
15:32or no,
15:33they're called
15:33defensive goaltending.
15:36A goaltending
15:36has been called.
15:37Does it go for
15:38Philadelphia?
15:40No,
15:41it was offensive
15:42goaltending.
15:51Let's take a look
15:52at the Sixers
15:52like the miscellaneous
15:53stats.
15:54They give up
15:5421 plus points
15:56a game
15:57in the fast break area.
15:59That's dead last
16:00in the league.
16:01Drummond deflects
16:01it back to Collins.
16:08Seven to shoot
16:08for Harden.
16:09It's a pull-up
16:10three from straightaway.
16:11Drummond the leaping
16:12rebound for Philadelphia.
16:13It's a 19 to 5 run
16:16for the Clippers.
16:18Dominique Barlow
16:19tries to attack
16:20on Collins.
16:21Up and under.
16:22Good footwork.
16:22Whistle foul.
16:23Free throw's coming.
16:24And John was in
16:25the right position
16:25but at the last minute
16:26I think he reached down
16:28with that left hand
16:29arm to swipe
16:30at the ball.
16:31If you maintain
16:32your discipline
16:32right there,
16:33Barlow is off balance.
16:35I think we're
16:36running the other way.
16:38Dominique Barlow.
16:38Just the fourth game
16:40for Barlow.
16:41Two years in San Antonio
16:42last year in Atlanta
16:44but he's played well
16:45in these limited games
16:46that he has had
16:47back out there
16:48on Friday.
16:49The first of two
16:50free throws fall.
16:51We'll get a quick word
16:51from Grey Goose.
16:54You fall in love
16:56Sing boom
16:58the sky above
16:59Lopez
17:01And this Philly offense
17:06has struggled
17:07the last three games
17:08having scored
17:09under 110 points
17:10in those
17:11last three games
17:13shot under 44%
17:15from the field
17:16so you don't want
17:17to give this team
17:18any life
17:18especially at home
17:19here.
17:21Defensively
17:21they're only shooting
17:2425% in this
17:25first quarter.
17:27Five and a half
17:28to play.
17:29Nineteen
17:291913
17:30Clippers
17:30out in front.
17:32Harden
17:33splits a pair
17:35of defenders
17:36goes to the rim
17:36a whistle
17:37and a foul
17:38and a foul.
17:38Will they count
17:39the basket?
17:39I don't suspect
17:40that it was a goaltend.
17:42Two free throws
17:43coming here
17:43for Harden
17:44who has played
17:44well in this building
17:46last ten games
17:48seven and three
17:49averaging 29 points
17:51eight assists
17:51and seven rebounds
17:52including a win
17:53last year.
17:54it was a good sign
17:57when you're in a rhythm
17:58playing as a player
17:59you want to keep
17:59playing right
18:00and James right now
18:01I thought he struggled
18:02a little bit
18:03in the first quarter
18:05against Boston
18:06getting by his initial
18:07defender
18:08but as he got
18:09lathered up at help
18:10Clipper fans
18:11don't just watch
18:12be there
18:12become a Clippers
18:13season member
18:14and enjoy playoff
18:15priority member events
18:16and the best seats
18:17in the house
18:17and now in this game
18:23in particular
18:24the first fast break
18:25he was able to get out
18:26the last two or three
18:27drives
18:28he was able to
18:29blow by his
18:31defender
18:32I think that
18:33those are all
18:34great signs
18:35for the Clippers
18:35in this game
18:37this evening
18:37but the mindset
18:38that continues
18:40to impress me
18:40would anybody
18:42coaches
18:43players
18:43fans
18:44and the biggest
18:45naysayers
18:46for James Harden
18:46have said anything
18:47if James just
18:48didn't play well
18:49yesterday
18:49in the second half
18:50you're down 24
18:51and they don't
18:52and he doesn't come
18:52out of a timeout
18:53and they just keep him
18:54on the bench
18:54instead he comes out
18:55there
18:56and battles back
18:57being down 24
18:59to a team
18:59that at that time
19:00was white hot
19:01from above the arc
19:02but he battled
19:03and again
19:04and it's a catch-22
19:07as a coach too
19:07because you know
19:08you got a game
19:09coming up the next night
19:10we talked about it
19:11how much do you want
19:12to preserve the energy
19:13but I'm sure James
19:14I'd love it
19:14if we get it close
19:15I'm playing
19:16and Ty Lue
19:17former player
19:18understands that
19:19as well as anybody
19:20tough right there
19:21for Chris Dunn
19:22got buried too deep
19:23turned it over
19:24I'm not trying to do
19:25PR for James Harden
19:26I promise
19:26it's just been
19:27very impressive
19:28wild shot inside
19:29for the Sixers
19:31Clippers get the rebound
19:33and it's trying to
19:34Watford out there
19:35see
19:36right down the lane
19:37straight down the
19:38boulevard
19:38and lays it in
19:39and I would say
19:41I'm impressed
19:41I'm not going to say
19:42I'm overly impressed
19:43you know why
19:44because James is a
19:44professional
19:45this is what I expect
19:46from
19:46you know
19:48the multi-time
19:49all-star
19:50number one player
19:51eventual hall of famer
19:53is to put in
19:54this kind of work
19:55Tyrese Maxxon
19:57gets his first bucket
19:58of the night
19:58he's one for four
19:59despite the big run
20:01the Clippers have been on
20:02they only lead by six
20:03four minutes to play
20:04in this first quarter
20:05seven to shoot
20:15it's Harden for three
20:17looking for the whistle
20:18gets the whistle
20:19and gets three free throws
20:21in the process
20:22time now for
20:22Drive for the Hoop
20:23brought to you by Hyundai
20:24James right here
20:26this is the mini transition
20:27little brush screen
20:29by Collins
20:30James Harden
20:32will go to the line
20:33that I'm able to get
20:33right by
20:34Justin Edwards
20:38and then Walford
20:39you can't
20:39listen
20:40you got film
20:41you got tape
20:42you can't put your arm
20:43out there on James Harden
20:44you do that
20:45number Steph Curry
20:46they're gonna go right
20:47through that
20:47the first of three
20:51for Harden
20:52in a rarity
20:55this season
20:55last year
20:56when Harden got
20:57to the free throw line
20:58ten or more times
20:59it was almost
20:59an automatic win
21:00happened 19 times
21:02they won 18 of those games
21:03twice this year
21:04it has happened
21:05the Clippers have lost
21:06both of those games
21:08Harden gets a second
21:13so what are you saying
21:16I mean you said all that
21:19you said all that
21:20he needs and I was leaving
21:21leading breadcrumbs for you
21:23to come in
21:23to come in and be supported
21:25see like supported
21:26I give you stats
21:28but stats are like
21:29they're like a
21:30lamppost for a drunk
21:32it's just for support
21:33it's not illumination
21:35and that's what I was
21:36looking for you
21:37to illuminate
21:38okay all right
21:39see sometimes
21:40you know
21:41public school education
21:42just gets past me
21:43sometimes
21:44and I just miss those
21:45you gotta work with me
21:46sometimes
21:4726 to 17
21:50Edgecombe blocked by
21:54Harden
21:55offensive foul
21:58after the recovery
22:00I believe of the loose
22:01ball on James
22:02well it's too late
22:13knocking this
22:14let's see
22:14okay
22:16oh no
22:19he tripped over his foot
22:21James had his hand
22:22on his back a little bit
22:23but it wasn't a
22:24foul like that
22:26the basketball gods agree
22:27Clippers get the inbound
22:29they take it away
22:30and Harden goes right
22:31back to work
22:32it's a sidestep three
22:33and the rebound
22:34is a high rise one
22:35by Grimes
22:36James now three for six
22:38Clippers lead by nine
22:39pull up three for Edwards
22:42rebound goes to Collins
22:44Harden
22:49Lopez who is
22:50checked in
22:51fields it low
22:52shoots it high
22:53way off
22:53and a running Maxey
22:54with a rebound
22:55power play for
22:56the Sixers
22:57Edgecombe
22:58back to Maxey
23:00straightens and fires
23:01a three
23:02he is good
23:03a whistle
23:04and a timeout
23:04for Teron Liu
23:05Clippers by six
23:072.48 to play
23:09in the first quarter
23:10welcome back to
23:19Philly where another
23:20one of James Harden's
23:21protégés is thriving
23:23as we get into our
23:24stats brought to you
23:25by Ticketmaster
23:25and this guy Tyrese
23:26Maxey says James
23:27Harden taught him
23:28to become a pro
23:30the pair were
23:31teammates here in
23:31Philly from 2022
23:32to 23 and Harden
23:34was struck by Maxey's
23:35work ethic seeing
23:36himself in a young
23:37Maxey I was covering
23:38the team in Philly
23:39at that time and I
23:39took these videos
23:40this was 2022 Sixers
23:42training camp in
23:43Charleston Harden
23:44here breaking down
23:45his step back
23:46literally step by
23:47step and that shot
23:48has now become a
23:49staple in Maxey's
23:51game the pair has
23:51called it an honor
23:52to teach and learn
23:53from one another
23:54after the game last
23:54night Harden told me
23:55Maxey today is
23:56exactly who he knew
23:57he could be he said
23:58I'm proud the work
24:00is showing he has
24:01an unconscious game
24:02and the world is his
24:03I asked Maxey how
24:04he remembers that
24:04time he said James
24:05taught me how to
24:06control the game
24:07how to find my own
24:08shot how to create
24:09for others and most
24:10importantly how to
24:11lead if I had to
24:12talk about all the
24:13things I learned from
24:13JH I'd be here all
24:15day the rights fees
24:17that we had to pay
24:19for Lauren's home
24:20videos have well
24:22we're lucky we're out
24:23of bankruptcy that's
24:24all I will say
24:24here's Lopez
24:25Cam Christie back out
24:29there a late shot
24:30clock three for
24:30Bogdanovich did well
24:32just to get it off
24:33not a great possession
24:33coming out of the
24:34timeout Clippers
24:35still lead by six
24:36and Nick Nurse
24:37employed a little
24:38gamesmanship came out
24:39in the zone defense
24:40that time on that
24:41defensive possession
24:42he's a very clever
24:44coach who will do a lot
24:45of different things
24:46you won't necessarily
24:47see big rejection
24:48inside by Christie and
24:49Bogdanovich is able to
24:50pick up the loose ball
24:51and that's it putting me
24:53a team defense right
24:54there
24:54my Christie
24:56bluffing the three
24:57drives into Watford
24:59a whistle and a foul
24:59with 157 to play in the
25:01first quarter
25:02just doing the little
25:03things right here
25:04Lopez had to help
25:06on the drive
25:07and in defense
25:08you hear this all the
25:08time help the helper
25:09that time Cam Christie
25:11was able to be in a
25:12position
25:13underneath
25:14because he had
25:15already rotated over
25:16to get that block
25:17shot
25:18Watum spent a year
25:20he was part of that
25:20James Harden deal
25:21and there were some
25:23rumblings that this
25:24would be his last year
25:25at that time
25:25the 23-24 season
25:27and I remember we were
25:28here late in the season
25:29I asked him hey
25:30what do you think about
25:31next year and he just
25:31gave me this look like
25:32are you kidding me
25:33I'm not coming back
25:34next year
25:35well what ended up
25:36happening is he flourished
25:37in their playoff series
25:39in round one
25:40really helped preserve
25:41games and helped them
25:43try to get to the second
25:44round which they didn't
25:44he carried that over
25:45to the Olympics
25:47where he played terrific
25:48he said all right
25:48I'm coming back
25:49the platoon battalion
25:50never closed shops
25:52in the Los Angeles
25:53chapter and we are so
25:54glad that he is back
25:55Edgecombe
25:56puts up the shot
25:57leaves it short
25:57Bogdanovich with a rebound
25:59Clippers by eight
26:00and that was outstanding
26:01defense that time
26:02by Bogey
26:03Harden on the wing
26:07for three
26:08it is good
26:09and now James Harden
26:10how about this
26:1015 for Harden
26:12in the first quarter
26:14feed inside
26:18not there by Edwards
26:19and the loose ball
26:20picked up by Bogdanovich
26:21Harden inside
26:30leaves it in
26:31I'm telling you man
26:34you know you got to find
26:37your own motivation
26:38sometimes and I think
26:39with James it's
26:40that he's not supposed
26:41to be doing this
26:42and playing this well
26:43with this burden
26:44on his shoulders
26:45but he's proven
26:46he's proven otherwise
26:48Watford strong drive
26:49inside hangs
26:50and hits
26:51able to lay it in
26:53through contact
26:54it's an 11 point lead
26:56for the Clippers
26:56what has seemingly
27:00felt from afar
27:01like an easy 12 minutes
27:03physically for the Clippers
27:04given the grind
27:06that we saw
27:07in Dallas
27:08and in the second half
27:09against the Celtics
27:11here is Harden
27:11for three
27:12can't get the roll
27:14watch for the rebound
27:15two for one opportunity
27:17however for the Clippers
27:18Watford got his first
27:26start of the season
27:26the start of the last
27:27four games
27:28had a triple-double
27:28in his first start
27:30hasn't reached that
27:31level since
27:32and it was in a nice
27:34win for Philadelphia
27:35Edgecombe
27:36Grimes beats the buzzer
27:39knocks it down
27:40another one of James
27:41Harden's former pupils
27:42it's a big shot
27:44to close out the first
27:45quarter offensively
27:47for Philadelphia
27:48Lopez
27:48can he beat the buzzer
27:50he can't
27:51but he can't get the shot
27:52and that'll do it
27:52the Clippers
27:53opened up with a 19-5 run
27:56in this first frame
27:57on the tail end
27:58of a back-to-back
27:59James Harden
28:00doing James Harden-like things
28:01he's got 17
28:02to lead off
28:04we move to the second frame
28:05after this
28:05presented by Arco
28:10it's been
28:11check this out
28:12Clippers fast break
28:14they say we don't do it
28:15often
28:15but when we do
28:16we're very effective
28:17at it
28:18and that's James Harden
28:18always talk about
28:19pick-up points
28:20when no one picks up
28:21James in transition
28:22he can beat you
28:23with the layup
28:23or
28:24three-point shot
28:26and Big Zoo
28:26getting involved
28:27in action
28:27beating
28:28Drummond down the court
28:29rewards a big man
28:30for running
28:31who needs a break
28:33I want to give credit
28:34to the Clippers
28:35but I think at the same time
28:37it's a real detriment
28:37to the Sixers
28:38nine fast break points
28:40in that first quarter
28:41given up by Philadelphia
28:42we mentioned
28:42they're last in the league
28:43this is against a team
28:44that's the oldest team
28:45in league history
28:46that is on the third game
28:48in four days
28:48including a double overtime game
28:50on Friday
28:51a black eye there
28:52for Philadelphia
28:53and a ray of sunshine
28:55as he has always been
28:56how about our guy
28:57Nico Batum
28:58dropping in a three
28:59it's 36-25
29:00and how about our guy
29:01Chris Paul
29:02he's in the lineup
29:03right now
29:04figured that may be
29:05the case with the amount
29:06of minutes that James
29:07has played
29:08Chris would man up
29:09that second unit
29:10George
29:12not there
29:13and here comes
29:14Chris Paul
29:14in his first game
29:15in a couple of weeks
29:16I imagine Chris
29:20would be a little bit
29:21rusty
29:21just because of the
29:22inactivity
29:23I don't care how long
29:24you played this game
29:25Christy
29:28a straight on three
29:29bounces off the iron
29:30and a flat footed
29:31Grimes with a rebound
29:32good shot though
29:33we've seen Chris
29:34last couple of ballgames
29:35working out
29:36putting up shots
29:37and getting in a good
29:38pregame workout
29:39nothing like being in the game
29:41I'm going to tell you that
29:42right now
29:43the first thing to go
29:45see a little
29:45overaggression
29:46double team
29:47is
29:47the feet
29:48it's like
29:49putting
29:50in short game
29:51if you haven't played
29:53in a while
29:53you got to get that touch
29:55and that feel back
29:56and the ball feels
29:57the same way
29:58the timing
29:59of your dribbles
30:00and making moves
30:01when you haven't done it
30:02at full speed
30:03takes a little bit
30:05of adjustment
30:05even for a player
30:06like Chris Paul
30:07that's when a little
30:10swing oil comes in
30:11hands
30:12about that turn
30:13I don't know
30:14if he can get some
30:14I don't know
30:15if he can get some
30:15swing oil right now
30:17I'm sure somebody
30:19on the sideline
30:20got a little
30:20got a little something
30:21on those free seats
30:23those big time seats
30:24right there
30:24but
30:26no
30:27I've been there man
30:29you don't play
30:29you get back in the game
30:30sometimes it feels
30:31it feels a little
30:32foreign to you
30:33I don't know
30:34if you're talking
30:34about basketball
30:35I'll let you
30:38and the fans
30:38figure that one out
30:39little cigar
30:41there you go
30:42there you go
30:43ease up some
30:44of the stress
30:45real quick
30:45well really
30:48a fun half
30:49in a back and forth
30:50game here
30:50for the Clippers
30:51in particular
30:52offensively
30:52shooting 50%
30:53from the field
30:54the Philadelphia
30:5436%
30:56but we've seen
30:56the Puppers struggle
30:57with James Harden
30:57on the bench
30:58we'll see if Chris Paul
30:59can't stop that
31:00happening
31:00great ball
31:01moving
31:01Paul finds
31:02Batum
31:03just hit a three
31:04comes up short
31:05this time
31:05and George
31:06the rebound
31:06good offense
31:07so just
31:08walk it around
31:08oh yes
31:10Ryan
31:10skipped by Bogdanovich
31:12a whistle
31:12will send him
31:13to the free throw
31:13line here
31:14for a couple
31:14how about Bogdanovich
31:22we talk about
31:22players stepping up
31:23we talked about
31:24Kobe Sanders
31:24doing great
31:25Bogdanovich appears
31:26right in the nick of time
31:28just a couple of the games
31:29after we learned the news
31:30of Bradley Beal
31:31being out for the whole season
31:32Bogdanovich
31:33quickly finds his stroke
31:35and has been invaluable
31:36for the Clippers
31:36in his minutes
31:37over the last handful
31:38of games
31:38we get a quick word
31:39from Jack of the Box
31:39the best rated burger
31:42and fast food
31:42with more beef
31:43than a Big Mac
31:44keep up Ronald
31:45welcome to Jack of the Box
31:46he's only one
31:49Bogdanovich
31:49he's only one for five
31:50from the three point line
31:51but I still thought
31:51he played really good
31:53because he was aggressive
31:54with the dribble
31:54he forced defense
31:55the defenders
31:56to have to guard him
31:57he made plays
31:58you know
32:00when he had to
32:01off the ball
32:01so just finding
32:03that rhythm
32:04consistently
32:05is important
32:07in his confidence
32:08two minutes gone by
32:12in this second quarter
32:12Clippers by 10
32:13Paul
32:14Batum
32:15again a three
32:16this time
32:17misses everything
32:18and Drummond
32:18lets the rebound
32:19trickle out of bounds
32:20Clippers trying to
32:23keep it together
32:23while Harden
32:24is on the bench
32:25it is worth pointing out
32:27the Clippers
32:28in the 13 games
32:30that they have played
32:31have won
32:31the non-James Harden
32:33minutes just four times
32:34offense tends to crater
32:37when he is on the bench
32:38as we're seeing a little
32:39bit here early on
32:40in this second quarter
32:41Edgecombe
32:41over the outside
32:42fingertips
32:43of Batum
32:44able to get it
32:44to go down
32:45Edgecombe
32:46wonderful start
32:47to his career
32:4834 points
32:49on opening night
32:50really took
32:50kind of the league
32:51by storm
32:52as Jim pointed out
32:53has come back
32:54to earth a little bit
32:55but make no mistake
32:56this guy is going
32:57to be an excellent player
32:58Bogdanovich for three
32:59rings the rim
32:59drumming another rebound
33:00when you think
33:01about Edgecombe
33:02you know
33:02most points scored
33:03by a rookie
33:04since
33:05Will Chamberlain
33:06okay
33:07debut
33:07that says a lot
33:09in itself
33:09Edgecombe
33:13misses their
33:13whistle
33:14found a push-off
33:15on Chris Paul
33:16and his
33:16dramatic
33:18theatrical
33:20fall down
33:21by Drummond
33:22who may outweigh
33:23Chris Paul
33:24by 760 pounds
33:25don't look that up
33:25he's just saying
33:26I'm off balance
33:27Chris has been
33:33bulking
33:35so maybe he's
33:36you know what I mean
33:37you bet you point
33:39about James Harden
33:39winning those minutes
33:40but it's important
33:41too you win the minutes
33:42when Tyrese Maxey
33:43is not on the floor
33:44you know as well
33:45I know Paul George
33:46is now inserted
33:47in line of kind of
33:48provide some of this
33:49offensive firepower
33:51good D-bite too
33:52but we see that
33:53how many times
33:54have we seen that
33:54elongated step from Paul
33:56you jump
33:57he's not ready to
33:59then when you're
34:00coming down
34:00he's up in the air
34:01we'll talk about
34:03those non-maxy minutes
34:04there's not a lot of them
34:06Chris Paul from the mid-range
34:07this fires in Drummond
34:08yet another rebound
34:09for Philadelphia
34:10he's got six of them
34:11Jared McCain is out there
34:16just his fourth game
34:17with the Sixers this year
34:19really got off to a great
34:20start in his rookie career
34:22but
34:22came to an end
34:24with an injury
34:24Paul snaking the screen
34:27here he knows
34:27he knows what he wants
34:29to do
34:29and time patiently
34:30waiting
34:31for his chance
34:33to get the shot
34:34up and over the top
34:35and like anything
34:37I mean
34:38I want to see the best
34:39players back on the court
34:40I mean
34:40that's what this league
34:42is all about
34:42when the superstars play
34:43it's beneficial
34:44for everybody
34:45Grimes in the corner
34:47Paul the rebound
34:48Christie motors back
34:51the other way
34:51attacking in transition
34:52tied up on the way
34:53up will be a jump ball
34:54and at least in this
34:59first half
34:59a rare moment
35:00of transition defense
35:01there for the Sixers
35:03with nine fast break points
35:08average only 12
35:11on the year
35:12so if you've been
35:12following the team
35:13you understand
35:14that that is a lot
35:15Collins will check
35:16into the game
35:17also another good sign
35:19to the Clippers
35:20three turnovers
35:20for zero points
35:23which is good
35:23I mean
35:24so
35:24the live ball
35:25turnovers
35:26a couple that they had
35:27the Sixers could not
35:29benefit from that
35:30by getting out
35:31and turning those
35:31or converting
35:32no turnovers
35:33into points
35:33always a good sign
35:37when you're on the road
35:37sorry about that
35:38Brian
35:38checks out
35:39for checks
35:41Ian Biggerport
35:42and Grimes takes a seat
35:43the first get it
35:48plenty of time
35:48on the clock
35:49here
35:49out in front
35:49by six
35:50and live
35:52buying as many
35:52as 13
35:53Collins
35:56tough shot
35:58and Andre Drummond
35:59with a rebound
36:00Edgecombe
36:03back to Drummond
36:03he's hit a few
36:04threes this year
36:05the first might
36:06pay him to shoot
36:07it out
36:07there
36:08rather than
36:08be out there
36:09than at the rim
36:09he's hit six triples
36:10but they've been
36:11in the corner
36:12okay so let's
36:13let's click
36:13and that's where
36:14he's most comfortable
36:15think about this
36:16his six
36:17he's made 18
36:19his whole career
36:20okay so he's the
36:21third of the way
36:22there already
36:23Nick Nurse said
36:24I hope that we get
36:25to a point with his
36:26threes that the crowd
36:26isn't gasping
36:27he's like up and in
36:3038-30
36:31you know the slow motion
36:32no
36:32seven and a half
36:38to play in the half
36:39but what it's worth
36:42Paul George seems to be
36:43moving very well
36:44McCain
36:47been very rusty
36:48was sent down to the G League
36:49to try to knock off
36:50some of that rust
36:51has yet to hit a shot here
36:52in three games
36:53Edgecombe the three
36:54wiggles out
36:55rebound
36:55collected by Bogdanovich
36:57Philly shooting just 35%
37:00Clippers at 43%
37:01although the Clippers
37:02have struggled here
37:03in the second quarter
37:03after hitting half their
37:05shots in the opening frame
37:06Zoo
37:08goes to the left-handed
37:14hook shot
37:15and I'm here for it
37:17it beats a zoo box
37:18is a perfect four
37:19four from the field
37:20he puts the Clippers
37:21out in front by seven
37:22yeah you know
37:23not a pretty quarter
37:24shooting the ball
37:25but when you need a tough
37:26two post up zoo
37:27guess what
37:28he'll come through
37:28out in front by 10
37:31have led by as many
37:32as 13
37:33see
37:34Vijay Edgecombe
37:35really kind of
37:36took the NBA
37:37by storm
37:38we've seen a couple
37:39of these guys
37:39and we'll see
37:40a few of these guys
37:41actually on this trip
37:43we saw Cooper Flagg
37:44impressive
37:45we're seeing Vijay
37:47Edgecombe here tonight
37:48hey my guy is
37:49kind of a nipple
37:49I got a chance
37:51to watch him in college
37:52when he was playing
37:53with Cooper Flagg
37:53and I said from that
37:54when I watched him
37:56I said he has a pro game
37:57all the fundamentals
37:59he doesn't beat you
38:00with athleticism
38:01plays off two feet
38:03can shoot the
38:04leather off the ball
38:05just no
38:06and he's big and strong too
38:07I love some conca nipple
38:09we'll see him
38:10after the Clippers
38:11play Orlando
38:12later on the trip
38:15it's Orlando
38:16it is Charlotte
38:17then on a back-to-back
38:18it is the Cavaliers
38:19Clippers come technically
38:20home but it's a Laker game
38:22in downtown Los Angeles
38:23Maxey late in the clock
38:25Drummond
38:26sheds defenders
38:27and lays it in
38:28still a serviceable
38:30big man
38:30he was kind of
38:31at the end of the
38:32big man era
38:33but has been valuable
38:34here for the Sixers
38:35and Chris Paul
38:36just missed that steal
38:37by a half a second
38:40fell right into the hands
38:42of Drummond
38:43tough shot right there
38:44by Bogie
38:44another rebound
38:46by Drummond
38:46for what it is worth
38:47the Clippers are even
38:48right now
38:48with the Sixers
38:49seven apiece
38:50in this second quarter
38:50in non-hardened minutes
38:52Maxey a tough three
38:53hooped it out of control
38:55and Ivica Zubac
38:56clears it for the Clippers
38:57who are in front by eight
38:58turnaround jumper
39:04for Bogdanovich
39:05felt very comfortable
39:07going up against Edwards
39:08and then draws the drop
39:09that's his first
39:10he's first
39:11Bogdanovich
39:18had the line
39:19issue too
39:19but Bogdanovich
39:21was sharing a glance
39:23I believe with Edwards
39:24or Drummond
39:24which was rather
39:25entertaining
39:26there you see Bogdanovich
39:27finding the range
39:27perfect timing
39:28and it was tough
39:30with no real preseason
39:32no training camp
39:32due to injury
39:33but he has been able
39:34to shake off the rust
39:35as we get a quick word
39:36from Harden
39:36feels so right
39:40it almost feels wrong
39:41the Hyundai getaway
39:43sales event
39:43Harden checks back in
39:48at the six minute mark
39:49which is good news
39:51a lengthy breather
39:52for Harden
39:53and the lead is still
39:54there
39:55you called it though
39:56right
39:57I mean important minutes
39:58because if you maintain
39:59the lead
40:00which is
40:01you know
40:02it's the bench's job
40:03or increase it
40:03that just provides
40:05the coaching staff
40:06more time to keep
40:07James sitting with them
40:08a little bit more
40:09knowing
40:09that they're going to need
40:10a bulk of those minutes
40:11maybe in the second
40:12how are you travel
40:13Parlo
40:13Maxey in the corner
40:15for three
40:16hasn't been able
40:18to find the range
40:19just yet
40:19extended possession
40:20now for Philadelphia
40:21tough drive
40:26for Maxey
40:27and that's the part
40:29of his game
40:30that sometimes people
40:32don't give him credit
40:32for his ability
40:33to absorb contact
40:34and then finish
40:35especially when he gets
40:36to that right hand
40:37shows off the soft touch
40:39off the glass
40:40to use the angle here
40:42and he wants to get
40:43to this gap
40:43Collins is there
40:44bumps
40:45but to no avail
40:47I'll tell you man
40:50just watching him
40:51over the years
40:52and we said it
40:53in our open
40:53that the face
40:56of the Philadelphia 76ers
40:58has transitioned over
41:00and it's
41:01not a bad thing
41:04I mean
41:04if somebody
41:05if you want somebody
41:06to be the face of your team
41:07Tyrese Maxey
41:08is the perfect candidate
41:10just for all the intangibles
41:12on and off the court
41:13well in a town like this
41:15you got a guy that plays
41:16full blast at all times
41:17of all time
41:18yeah
41:18and it's not
41:19it is
41:19he's never been a me person
41:21you know
41:22and that's the beauty of it
41:24I think that's why
41:25his teammates
41:26have fed off of him
41:27he's a lot of fun
41:29to watch
41:29when he's not playing
41:30your team
41:30good look for
41:31rebound
41:32knocked out of bounds
41:33and they say
41:35it'll be sixer ball
41:36to Philadelphia's credit
41:42here
41:43despite kind of
41:43a lackadaisical
41:45transition defense
41:46in not great shooting
41:48and they're down to
41:48five minutes to play
41:51in his first half
41:51so the Clippers
41:52need to start showing
41:53their teeth a little bit
41:54here
41:54Maxey hasn't been able
41:56to get going
41:56he's just three for eight
41:57ball knocked out of bounds
41:58by Hart
41:59and stays with
41:59Philadelphia
41:59nine to shoot
42:00well I think what helps too
42:01is you have some bigger
42:02defenders on Maxey
42:03so his
42:04even his pull-up jump shot
42:05he's been contested a lot
42:08so he hasn't had a lot of free
42:09and open
42:10shots
42:12this is Maxey tailgated by Dunn
42:17four to shoot
42:18down the lane
42:20up with the right hand
42:21and gets it to fall
42:22a tough shot for Maxey
42:24despite his struggles
42:25ten points and four assists
42:27for Maxey
42:28it's a four-point game
42:29tough shot maker
42:30told you
42:30it's open to contact
42:31getting to his right
42:32still able to finish
42:33Sanders alone in the corner
42:41for three
42:42on line all the way
42:44and he knocks it down
42:45writing a little separation
42:46here
42:4744-37 Clippers
42:48Maxey gets the screen
42:57picked up now by Collins
42:58plays catch with Edgecombe
42:59Edgecombe gets it back
43:01down the lane
43:02fumbles
43:02four to shoot for Maxey
43:05another runner
43:06hits the front of the rim
43:07and a finish
43:08by Andre Drummond
43:09he has had an impact
43:11here today
43:12yeah and that
43:12because that play
43:14was so scrambled up
43:15and guys were moving
43:17that opened it up
43:18for that putback
43:19and Sanders opened
43:20for that three
43:20not able to knock it in
43:22Drummond sends it ahead
43:24to Edwards
43:24did out of bounds
43:26to Collins
43:27it'll stay with Philadelphia
43:28but I think
43:29Kopey Sanders does
43:30an excellent job
43:31of maintaining
43:32his spacing
43:32on the court
43:33for young players
43:34a lot of times
43:35they're you know
43:36kind of running around
43:36with their head cut off
43:37they want to cut to the basket
43:38but he maintains
43:39and understands
43:40if I stay in the corner
43:41and open
43:42more than likely
43:43the ball is going to swing to me
43:45over plays on Edgecombe
43:47able to get back
43:48Maxey wants to go to work
43:53on the rookie
43:54a backpedal three
43:55and there's Edwards
43:57for the rebound
43:58Barlow crashing inside
44:01and lays it in
44:02and for all the fireworks
44:04the Clippers had
44:05in that first quarter
44:06the Sixers have hung around
44:07they've cut the lead
44:08which was large as 13
44:10down to three
44:11322 to play
44:13in this first half
44:13it's like a spin around
44:21the NBA
44:21you can talk about
44:22the Hawks
44:23and the Trae Young situation
44:24they're playing well
44:25without him
44:25I'd love to focus
44:27on the Detroit Pistons
44:28how good have they been
44:29two years ago
44:30they lost what
44:3029 games in a row
44:31won a total of 14
44:33and now they lead
44:34the East
44:34and they have been
44:35they are a fun
44:36fun team to watch
44:37Cade Cunningham
44:38and they play
44:39old school hard
44:40just basketball
44:41you know what I mean
44:42they come at you
44:43in ways
44:43they have size
44:45on the wing
44:45Cade Cunningham
44:47what he's doing
44:48has just been phenomenal
44:49Jalen Dern
44:51aka
44:52what did I say
44:55Orlando
44:56Orlando Woolridge
44:57reincarnated
44:58I mean
44:59and as someone
45:01that grew up
45:01close to Detroit
45:02I'm happy
45:03because that is
45:04a basketball city
45:05they love their Pistons
45:06and I know
45:08George Blaha
45:08the voice
45:09there of
45:10the Pistons
45:11is
45:12loving every bit
45:13of it right now
45:14and it's sustainable
45:15it's not really
45:16a flash in the pan
45:17with an older player
45:18these guys are all
45:19happy to be there
45:20whistle offensive foul
45:21coming out of the timeout
45:22it's 44-41
45:23let's be careful country
45:24here
45:24three minutes to play
45:26in this second quarter
45:27Philadelphia has trailed
45:28essentially since the
45:2910 minute mark
45:30of the first quarter
45:30but have a chance to
45:31tie it here
45:32on this possession
45:33with Tyrese Maxey
45:34really struggling
45:35from the field
45:364 of 11
45:37the first just
45:415 for 19
45:42from 3
45:43not that Philadelphia
45:46has been much better
45:47follow the little
45:49jumper from the baseline
45:51he is good
45:52and trims a lead
45:53to 1
45:53and who says
45:54the 2
45:55point shots
45:56don't have value
45:57in this quarter
45:58this Philly
45:5918 to 11
46:01been all two
46:02point shots
46:030 for 6
46:03from behind the 3
46:04so if the other team
46:05is not making baskets
46:06you are
46:07those two point shots
46:09are as valuable
46:10as anything
46:113 second violation
46:12on the 76ers
46:13that's a technical foul
46:14Teron
46:16we will talk about
46:16Tyloo and the
46:17Philadelphia 76ers
46:18in 2001
46:20it's an interesting story
46:21that you've heard
46:23half of it
46:23and the other half
46:24I learned today
46:25which was great
46:26is Harden
46:273 in the key
46:28called against
46:29the Sixers
46:30and Harden able
46:31to make the free throw
46:31he's got 18
46:32first half points
46:33I can't wait
46:37to hear the story
46:37it's called the Tease
46:39maybe I'll give it to you
46:41in the second half
46:43what the fans
46:44want to know
46:44not just me
46:45don't hope
46:46the fans
46:47revolves around
46:48trying to make a point
46:49on me
46:50kind of spoiling it here
46:51Harden
46:52Lopez
46:54into the paint
46:55gets to the rim
46:56a whistle
46:57and a foul
46:57and send him to the line
46:58how about that
46:59potential four point play
47:01I mean possession
47:02for
47:03the Clippers
47:05and how about Brooke
47:07putting it on the deck
47:08Dre drumming
47:10just a little late
47:11to contest
47:12proves you don't have
47:14to be
47:15fast
47:16but be quick
47:16with your move
47:17to get down the lane
47:18and
47:19let's see if
47:20Lopez can complete this
47:23not a high scoring game
47:27for Brooke Lopez
47:28yesterday
47:28but in his shift
47:29again in a game
47:30that were down 24
47:32he was a plus 11
47:33in the 14 minutes
47:35that he played
47:36Clippers now out
47:37in front by 5
47:382.15 to play
47:39in this first half
47:39grinds
47:44Maxey the running
47:49floater
47:49gets short
47:50Lopez
47:50the rebound
47:51a whistle
47:51and a loose ball
47:52foul with 2.05
47:53to play in this
47:54first half
47:55free throws
47:56free throws here
47:56Clippers have been
47:57over the limit
47:57for a minute
47:58Andre Drummond
48:02I believe
48:02will go to the
48:04free throw line
48:04got a start in Detroit
48:05bounced around
48:08can I be honest
48:10with you Jim
48:10well I hope so
48:13Andre Drummond's hair
48:15looks like
48:15in a cartoon
48:16when they open up
48:17a box
48:17and it blows up
48:18and it just
48:19you agree
48:20you're not
48:21I didn't say I agree
48:22you've not
48:22heard from
48:24I think he visited
48:35the Wile E. Coyote
48:36before you see
48:36I'm not agreeing
48:37to this right here
48:38I'm not agreeing
48:42I'm admonishing
48:43that I hear you
48:44I'm not agreeing
48:46with you
48:46Drummond has been
48:49very good
48:49here today
48:5010 rebounds
48:51in this first half
48:52in 17 minutes
48:53Harden
48:54to Sanders
48:55the pull up
48:57below the foul line
48:58another rebound
48:59there for Drummond
49:00it's 48 to 44
49:01in the game
49:02which the Clippers
49:02out of the palm
49:03of their hands
49:04in that first quarter
49:05Philadelphia has
49:06chipped away
49:06Clippers have gone
49:07cold from the field
49:08although they were
49:10able to hang around
49:11in the non-hard
49:12minutes
49:137 to shoot
49:16for Grimes
49:16Barlow
49:17nice defense there
49:18by Sanders
49:18and it's Dunn
49:19that comes away
49:20with it
49:20120 to play
49:21in the first half
49:22Sanders
49:24lobs to Collins
49:26he's not going
49:28to move Drummond
49:28on the block
49:29so he wisely
49:29kicks it back
49:30out to the rookie
49:3112 to shoot
49:31for Harden
49:32the double cup
49:35Harden
49:35mishandles

49:46the Clippers

52:49was a Clipper
52:50then signed
52:51the contract
52:52with the Sixers
52:53we won't go into
52:53all that
52:54now doing great
52:54things in the front
52:55office for Philadelphia
52:56right now
52:58his Sixers
52:58trail
52:59his former team
53:00by 10
53:0156-46
53:02Clippers
53:03out in front
53:04one reason why
53:05I don't know how many
53:05more times we could
53:06talk about him
53:07it's James Harden
53:07but it must be
53:08in a positive manner
53:09if we keep talking
53:10about him
53:10and he looks
53:11very spry
53:12than me
53:12on this back-to-back
53:13blowing by
53:14his initial defenders
53:16and when you don't
53:17step up
53:17he can beat you
53:18from three
53:19and of course
53:20he's going to do
53:20this fine Big Zoo
53:21underneath
53:22but I think
53:23James set the tone
53:25early
53:25that we're not
53:25going to be tired
53:26we're not going to
53:27think we're tired
53:27by attacking this
53:29Philadelphia team
53:30at 13 early points
53:32set the tone
53:34and got the Clippers
53:36out to that early lead
53:37well Harden
53:37offensively
53:38but then the defense
53:39that they played on
53:40Tyrese Maxey
53:40one of the league's
53:41electric stars
53:42well it's giving
53:43something back
53:44because teams
53:44are sending two
53:45players at
53:46James Harden
53:47so why not
53:48return the favor
53:48watch this little
53:49switch here
53:50but you don't
53:51give up on the play
53:51Chris Dunn is going
53:52to come back here
53:53and force the ball
53:54now out of
53:55Maxey's hands
53:56why is that important
53:57he doesn't have
53:58the ball anymore
53:58now on the weak side
54:00now you just got
54:00to man up
54:01look at Kobe
54:02Sanders gets up
54:03helps gets back
54:04but this is where
54:05keep in mind
54:06the ball is not
54:07in Maxey's hands
54:08so now the steal
54:09happens
54:09and the Clippers
54:10are able to benefit
54:11off that defensive play
54:12so it's a reason
54:14why Maxey is 4 for 12
54:15only 12 attempts
54:17you don't have 12 points
54:18but with any player
54:20like James
54:20if you can keep it
54:21out of their hands
54:22the less effective
54:23the offense
54:24ultimately becomes
54:25and make them work
54:26for that offense
54:27that's what the Clippers
54:28have done
54:28we sent it down to Lauren
54:29thanks Brian
54:30caught up with
54:31assistant coach
54:31Brian Shaw
54:32coming out of the
54:33locker room
54:33and he says
54:34James Harden
54:35has been starting
54:35these games
54:36so well
54:37but Philly has
54:38a good team
54:38and a good coach
54:39and they made
54:40good adjustments
54:41so the key
54:41to the third quarter
54:42get James
54:43and the rest
54:44of the team
54:44starting as early
54:45as possible
54:46come out with energy
54:47move the ball
54:48move their bodies
54:49and make sure Philly
54:50has to work hard
54:51he thinks if the
54:52third quarter
54:53starts well
54:54the game will
54:55finish well
54:56and we're hoping
54:57for the same
54:57Lauren thanks
54:59yeah Lauren
54:59and great that you
55:00said that about
55:01a great start
55:02because this
55:02six year team
55:03itself is
55:04the worst
55:05in the league
55:05scoring in the
55:07third quarter
55:07and one of the
55:11things that Nick Nurse
55:12talked about Brian
55:13was that he did
55:14in Toronto
55:16was he switched
55:17to starting lineup
55:18so he got Quentin
55:21Grimes I think
55:22here in the lineup
55:25for Barlow
55:29so he did this
55:31last game as well
55:32to try to change
55:33the energy a little bit
55:34so they can have
55:35better third quarter
55:37you know
55:37we struggle
55:38the Clippers
55:38at times

55:58don't understand
55:58that some teams
55:59being older
55:59may be a little
56:00bit tired
56:00it's a weird thing
56:02because this team
56:04is full of veterans
56:05and should understand
56:06especially when they
