00:30Once again, as the Clippers take on the Charlotte Hornets
00:32Now, while Harden has been around the block
00:35This is the first month for rookie Hornet Con Knipple
00:39The fourth overall pick in June has turned heads
00:41And has a blindingly bright future here in Charlotte
00:46First of a back-to-back Clippers in Cleveland
00:48Tomorrow, we welcome you inside of Spectrum Center
00:50Brian Steven alongside the busiest man in broadcasting
00:53Jim Jackson
00:54We'll hear from Lord Rosen in just a moment
00:56We've talked about the Clippers' issues
00:57There's a lot of them to fix
00:59James Harden is not one of those
01:01He continues to play at an all-world level
01:03It's unbelievable
01:04When you talk to James
01:05James says, you know, I'm really just now getting in shape
01:08And the numbers that he's putting up
01:11I mean, justifies what we're talking about
01:13I don't know how many more superlatives we can use
01:15To describe the way he's playing right now
01:18He's trying to do a little bit of everything
01:19To convert those points and those stats into wins
01:23More importantly to me
01:24I love how he's taking ownership of the team
01:26With regard to the young players
01:28To the rookies
01:29Saying, listen, I got you
01:30You're open, you shoot, you play with confidence
01:33You continue to put in the work
01:35Things will turn around
01:36I love that kind of leadership from James
01:38Well, when you go back to the oddsmakers
01:39Coming into this season for rookie of the year
01:41All eyes were on a rookie from Duke
01:43Well, they were right
01:44And maybe wrong
01:46It's another rookie that's stealing a lot of the headlines
01:48You've said it before
01:48Conn Knipple is absolutely legit
01:50It's something about a guy from the Midwest
01:52That just understands how to play
01:54But covering Conn last year a few times
01:56When he was at Duke
01:57It was something different about his game
01:59And his demeanor
02:00Kind of an old-school player
02:02With a new-school attitude
02:04Whether it's the stop-and-go
02:06The catch-and-shoot
02:07Off the dribble
02:07Being able to finish inside
02:09And, of course, a high IQ
02:10This young man was destined for greatness
02:13And right now leading all rookies in scoring
02:15Shooting plus 40% from behind the three-point line
02:18And, Brian, the scary thing is
02:20He's just scratching the surface
02:22So I think Charlotte has a gem on their hands
02:24The Clippers certainly have their hands full this afternoon
02:26And they're going to have to have their hands full
02:28Above the break
02:29The Clippers last year
02:30One of the best three-point shooting defenses in the league
02:32They need to get back to that
02:34Jim Jackson's going to tell
02:35Hyundai getaway sales event
02:36Deals so right
02:37It almost feels wrong
02:39Only at your SoCal Hyundai dealers
02:41And by Greg Goose
02:43Official partner of the Clippers
02:45Make time wait
02:46Well, the three-point shot is obviously
02:50The most lethal weapon in the NBA these days
02:53And the Clippers have had their moments
02:54Where they've been able to defend it
02:56But it has been a struggle on this road trip
02:57They need to get it back here today
02:59They really do
02:59Not playing against a Charlotte team
03:01That's going to blow you out to do it
03:02But they're pro
03:03So that means if they get open shots
03:05Because of miscommunication
03:07On what the coverage is
03:08They can make you play
03:09Especially a guy like Collins and Nipple
03:10He gets out of the mellow ball
03:12They can make you pay
03:13The thing for me is talk early
03:16Talk often
03:16And understand what the coverages are
03:18Close down the airspace on the shooters
03:21Don't overcommit and commit fouls
03:23And at the end of the day
03:24Those shots go up and they miss
03:26Finish the defense with a defensive board
03:28Clippers have had great success here
03:31In the Queen City
03:32They're going to rely upon that history today
03:34It's Clippers Hornets coming up next
03:37Charlotte the scene for the fifth game
03:48Out of seven for the Clippers on the road
03:49Today's game presented by Jack in the box
03:52Take a look at the starting five for the Clippers
03:55James Harden still out there
03:57Kobe Sanders now getting his third straight start
04:00John Collins who went to Wake Forest
04:02Just about a hundred miles away from here
04:04Versus a very young lineup here for Charlotte
04:07Very young and very talented
04:09As we set it down to the young and talented
04:11Lauren Rosen
04:12Brian you are too kind
04:14Let's go ahead and talk about James Harden
04:17James has been absolutely mighty
04:19For this Clippers team throughout its road trip
04:21He's averaging over 34 points a game
04:24And he's earned the right to be today's Kaiser
04:26Proven Outcomes
04:28I asked Harden as the leader for the youth
04:31He prides himself in setting an example
04:33On and off the floor
04:34For these young Clippers
04:36Who are perhaps playing and shouldering
04:38Much more below than they expected to hear
04:40On this trip
04:41And his message
04:42Keep fighting
04:43Be aggressive defensively
04:45Be solid
04:46Play free
04:46And here's my favorite part
04:47James Harden
04:48One of the greatest shooters of all time
04:50Says to his young rookie teammates
04:52If you have the opportunity to shoot the ball
04:54Do it
04:55He lives by that
04:57That age is just a number for James Harden
04:58By the way
04:59You look at his numbers this year
05:0026 points
05:018 assists
05:026 rebounds
05:02Nobody in the history of basketball
05:04And I get that it's only 14 games of the season
05:07Has ever averaged that line at that age
05:11LeBron James did something close to that
05:13About 25 points to contest with that
05:15Two years ago
05:16Harden continues to just impress
05:18Brian
05:18Off air before the game
05:20We were sitting here talking about
05:22The appreciation you have for a player
05:23When they're in-house
05:25When you can see what they do every day
05:26A lot of times you get a perception of who they are
05:29Based on what you hear
05:30But being able to watch James go to work
05:33And to want to be on the court
05:36Has just been a pleasure
05:38And we'd love to see
05:39That hard work just pay off
05:41Not only for him
05:41But also his teammates right now
05:43I think you said it best
05:44It's old man basketball
05:45Old school basketball
05:46Wanting to play
05:47Sometimes when it's not always feeling good
05:49Peppers miss on the first shot
05:50You'll see as Brandon Miller the other way
05:52A big finish
05:53Just his third game this year
05:55And his third game since January of last year
05:59Wrist injury last year
06:00Shoulder injury this year
06:02And he is back out there
06:03For again just his second game
06:05But it's an immediate impact for him
06:07As Evita Zubac goes to work
06:09It's a floater
06:10And he is good for Zubac
06:12And a little jump hook there
06:14I should say
06:14Ties up the score here
06:15Not a minute gone by
06:16Miller the pull up
06:19In
06:20And an immediate start for the youngster
06:22In his third year
06:25And you can see he is fired up
06:27He was
06:27Talked about his attitude
06:29Throughout the rehab process
06:30Over the last three weeks
06:31You can see he has been chomping
06:34At the bit to get back out there
06:35He's got both buckets here for Charlotte
06:37Harden steps into a rhythmic three
06:40And he's good
06:41Counted at a foul
06:42Well a little bit too much excitement
06:45From
06:46Brandon Miller
06:47Third year player that type
06:50But again
06:50I keep saying this all the time
06:52Being a left-handed player
06:53You have an advantage
06:54Which is
06:55The guys are going to guard you
06:56Are on that left side
06:58And a lot of times they commit to
07:00Contesting the shot
07:02And their momentum takes you
07:03Into the shooter
07:04Which happens to be James
07:05And he lives for that moment
07:07Where he can pick up that foul
07:08And again
07:10If you are new to
07:11Following James Harden
07:12He is the all-time leader
07:14In four-point plays made
07:16And
07:16It's not even a close second
07:19And he adds to the ledger there
07:21And the Clippers jump out
07:22In front by two
07:23Here in Charlotte
07:23Early start time
07:26Back home
07:27We get it
07:27We appreciate you
07:28Having your brunch
07:29Having your morning cup of coffee
07:31Clippers trying to wake up
07:32On this road trip
07:33Bridges finds Miller
07:36In the corner
07:36Picked up by Harden
07:37Not a lot of room
07:38Two to shoot
07:38Miller going to have to
07:39Bail him out
07:40And does
07:41Come on
07:42That's a young player
07:45That got a lot of energy
07:46Built up right
07:47He could not wait
07:49To get back
07:50You know
07:51On the court
07:51A lot of times
07:52You'll see guys
07:53Come back
07:53At home
07:54And how about that
07:54Right there
07:55Kobe Sanders
07:57And Ryan Corcoran
07:58I saw a lot of him
07:59While he was that great
08:00And he takes up
08:01A lot of space
08:01Great room protector
08:03How about this Brian
08:06Now can you do this
08:08Horse shot right here
08:09You and Finn
08:10You and Finn
08:10Right there
08:11You gotta catch it
08:12Roll it out
08:12Only got two seconds
08:14To get it up
08:15Henry might be able
08:16To knock down one
08:17Okay
08:17I don't think Finn
08:17And I are gonna have
08:18Much of a
08:19Contest
08:20There you see
08:20Kobe Sanders
08:21It's just been
08:22A real surprise
08:23A real delight
08:23And again
08:25We just talked about
08:25The confidence level
08:27That he has had
08:28The confidence level
08:31That Teron Liu
08:32Has had
08:32In some of these
08:33Younger players
08:34Obviously the Clippers
08:35With the injuries
08:35Missing three-fifths
08:36Of their starting lineup
08:37So factor that in
08:39When you think about
08:40The Clipper record
08:40You think about
08:41Where they at
08:42Three-fifths
08:43Of the starting lineup
08:44Happened out
08:45Bradley Beal
08:46Kawhi Leonard
08:47Those two guys
08:48Perennial all-stars
08:48And then one of the
08:49Great role players
08:50In the league
08:50In Derrick Jones
08:51Ty has gone
08:54Deep into his bag
08:55And for what
08:56Their role has been
08:57They've done their job
08:58As well as
08:59They can do
09:00This is
09:01Con Knipple
09:02There you see
09:04It Jim has talked
09:05About it
09:05Early since we
09:06First brought him up
09:06A couple of weeks ago
09:07Playing off at two feet
09:08It's a cheat code
09:09In the league
09:10But he comes
09:11From a basketball
09:11Family
09:12His uncles
09:13His father
09:13They had a team
09:15Called the Flying
09:16Knipples
09:17Back there
09:17In Milwaukee area
09:18So it's ingrained
09:20In his spirit
09:21And he knows
09:23How to play
09:23Kind of an old soul
09:24So to speak
09:25Con Brenner
09:27With the loose ball
09:28This is Bridges
09:29The other way
09:30Clippers and Hornets
09:30Tied up at eight
09:31Knipple
09:32This is where
09:32They thought
09:33He was best at
09:34For shooting
09:35But I think
09:36Everybody in the league
09:36That didn't pay
09:37Attention to Duke
09:38Last year
09:38Realizes
09:39He's got
09:39A full arsenal
09:40Offensively
09:41Five quick ones
09:42For Con
09:43Knipple
09:43Guarded jumper
09:47By Collins
09:48Doesn't go
09:49LaMelo Ball
09:50Playing less than
09:50Thirty minutes
09:51After another injury
09:52Hasn't played
09:53Seven consecutive
09:54Games in his career
09:55Floats that one
09:56Up and in
09:57And it's an
09:57Offensive start
09:58Here for
09:59The Hornets
10:00As they've hit
10:01All five of their shots
10:02But you see
10:03The strategy
10:03With the Hornets
10:04Early like
10:05A lot of teams
10:05That play against
10:06The Clippers
10:06They want to
10:07Push the pace
10:07Make or miss
10:08Get up
10:08Get up
10:09To court
10:09Force the Clippers
10:11To have to guard
10:12Them
10:12Collins
10:15Sheds his defender
10:16Back to the basket
10:17Trying to lay it up
10:18It's blocked
10:18By Bridges
10:19Whistle
10:19And a loose ball
10:20Foul called
10:21I believe
10:21Maybe a take
10:22Foul
10:22On the Clippers
10:23Here with 841
10:24To play in the first quarter
10:25Well the ability
10:27To catch and shoot
10:28Not just
10:28You know
10:29Be patient
10:31Behind the screen
10:32No one to come
10:33Quick trigger
10:34And again
10:34Conconcentral six five six six
10:36So he had size
10:37So his ability to
10:39See the defense
10:41To assess the situation
10:43Know when to
10:45Pass it
10:46When to shoot it
10:47When to get off of the ball
10:49Is very important for a young player
10:50He possesses all of that
10:54And some
10:55They do call to take foul
10:56So the free throw by Bridges
10:57Falls in a handful of games
10:59I've seen him play
11:00At this level
11:00At no point in time
11:02Has he looked like a rookie
11:03To me
11:03Nope
11:05He didn't even look like
11:07I mean
11:07As a freshman last year
11:09At Duke
11:10I was like
11:11Man he looks like
11:12He's been there
11:13Two to three years
11:14Already
11:14Whistle
11:16And a foul away
11:17From the ball
11:18Stop the clock
11:19834 to play
11:20Charlotte six for six
11:21This is the 20th ranked offense
11:23In the NBA
11:23Talking about Charlotte
11:24Coming off a 127-118 loss
11:28To Indiana
11:28They shot 40%
11:29From the field
11:30But they got up
11:30107 shots
11:32That's
11:32Fourth most in the league
11:34This year
11:35More than
11:3522 offensive rebounds
11:38With Brandon
11:40Williams back
11:42Cian James
11:43Who was at Duke
11:44With
11:44Conk and Nipple
11:45Started in the lineup
11:46For him
11:47Now you would know
11:48Defensively
11:49Is where they would
11:50Suffer a little bit
11:51Which was
11:53Which was the case
11:54For this team
11:55Miller
11:56First miss of the afternoon
11:59For Charlotte
11:59It's 14 to 8
12:01Clippers
12:02In a small hole
12:03To start this one off
12:04Harden
12:05Let's it fly
12:06From the foul line
12:06And he is good
12:07For James
12:08He's got six
12:09Of the ten
12:09For the Clippers
12:10Who cut the lead
12:10Down to four
12:11Knipple
12:14Miller
12:15Tries to drive
12:19On Sanders
12:19Up under
12:21And in
12:22And Brandon Miller
12:23Played a full game
12:24Opening night
12:25Got injured
12:25In the second game
12:26For Charlotte
12:27This is his first game
12:28Since that game
12:30And he has
12:31Made up for lost time
12:32He's four for five
12:32Harden already
12:33With one three
12:34This one bounces off
12:35The iron bridges
12:36The rebound for Charlotte
12:37Well you see why
12:38With Brandon Miller
12:38Why this organization
12:40Is so excited
12:42About the future
12:43Along with these young
12:44Fellas
12:44Young players
12:45Like
12:46Ryan Kalkbrenner
12:48And Tom Kalkbrenner
12:50Kalkbrenner
12:51In the first quarter
12:51And his young career
12:52And his young career
12:52Is eight
12:52Up for stats
12:53Brought to you by
12:54Ticketmaster
12:55And the Clippers
12:56I mentioned it
12:56They have played well
12:57Here in the Queen City
12:59You can see the longest
13:00Winning streak there
13:01For the Clippers
13:0214
13:02Their last loss
13:04Came here
13:06In Charlotte
13:07You got to go
13:07All the way back
13:08To 2017
13:09And I bring that up
13:10Because it was
13:12During the stretch
13:12In which the Clippers
13:13Lost nine in a row
13:15And yet
13:16And it was very
13:17Doom and gloom
13:18It didn't feel great
13:19Doom and gloom
13:21But they finished
13:2242 and 40 that year
13:23And had a chance
13:24To qualify for the playoffs
13:25Up until the last weekend
13:27They hung around
13:28We've been here
13:29We've gotten through it
13:31We'll get through it again
13:32Help seemingly
13:33Is on the way
13:34With 7.25
13:36To play in this first quarter
13:37Hart finds Dunn
13:38Seven to shoot
13:39Juggles in the paint
13:41Another ball
13:42May have had something
13:43To do with it
13:44A scrap breaks out
13:45A whistle
13:46And a jump ball
13:47With two and a half seconds
13:48On the shot clock
13:49For the Clippers
13:49Should they win the tap
13:50While Charlotte
13:51A little bit more
13:51Feisty defensively
13:53Chris Dunn thought
13:54He could maneuver
13:55His way inside
13:56But not able to
13:58Split the defense
14:00Look at those names
14:03Nick
14:05Nicholas Batum
14:06Look at that
14:07That was when
14:09He was at his heyday
14:10Here in Charlotte
14:12As far as
14:13Numbers go
14:14But when the coaches
14:16Changed
14:17Steve Clifford
14:17Was a wonderful coach
14:18Here for Charlotte
14:19Got them into the playoffs
14:20When the coaching staff
14:21Changed
14:21They said
14:21We don't have
14:22Any room for you
14:22We don't really need
14:23What you bring
14:24Which was beyond puzzling
14:26To me
14:27Their loss
14:28Clippers gain
14:29And we haven't
14:30Looked back ever since
14:31Ball knocked out of bounds
14:32It'll stay with the Clippers
14:342.5 on the shot clock
14:35Wasn't Al Horford here too
14:37When he didn't play
14:38I mean it's something
14:40About some older guys
14:41Sometimes
14:42And they said
14:44They said you know what
14:45Just sit
14:45Sit this one out
14:46A little bit
14:47And look at
14:48And Al Horford
14:48Is still playing
14:49And playing at a high level
14:50Now both of those guys
14:51Are similar in what they do
14:52Glue guys
14:53That just make the extra play
14:54Not worried about
14:54Their own statistics
14:55Shot clock violation
14:57Ball goes back
14:58To the Hornets
14:59They don't seem like
15:01They need any help
15:01Right now
15:02In this early going
15:03And they're out
15:03And brought
15:0418 to 10
15:05Five minutes off
15:05This first quarter clock
15:07Caulk Brenner
15:08Second round pick
15:10Gives to Miller
15:11Let's it fly from 14
15:12Caulk Brenner
15:13Taps it up
15:14But not in
15:14And it's an
15:14Evita Zubach
15:15Rebound for the Clippers
15:16Hard
15:20Around
15:21Melo
15:22Gets to the lane
15:23Whistle foul
15:25And he will be
15:27Just fine
15:27Going to the free throw
15:28Line here for a couple
15:29You know
15:29But it set something too
15:31When James can play
15:32In space
15:33But can play
15:33With a little bit
15:34More pace
15:35When the defense
15:35Is not set
15:36His avenues
15:38Are a lot clearer
15:39They're not as
15:40Boggled down
15:41And he can get
15:42To his spots
15:43His win
15:44The pace is slower
15:46Now defenses
15:48Can pack in
15:49Get the ball
15:50Out of his hands
15:50Converge
15:51And make life
15:52A little bit more
15:53Difficult on James
15:54We got a quick word
15:55From Jack in the box
15:56The best rated burger
16:00And fast food
16:01With more beef
16:02Than a Big Mac
16:02Keep up Ronald
16:04Welcome to Jack in the box
16:05It was funny
16:06When we were flying
16:07From Orlando
16:09To Charlotte
16:11Yesterday
16:11I was doing my work
16:12I put it in there
16:13And I kind of move on
16:14And I was sitting right
16:15Next to you
16:16And I'm like
16:16Wait a second
16:16James had 31
16:17Against Orlando
16:18In 31 minutes
16:20I mean that's just how
16:21Really effortless
16:22It has seemed
16:23From afar
16:23He's just been
16:24So great on this road trip
16:25Trying to keep the Clippers
16:26In it
16:27Minor being
16:27They had a chance
16:28To tie in Boston
16:29And by the two minute report
16:31It was fouled
16:32On that last three point shot
16:33Against Philadelphia
16:34The following night
16:35So
16:36It's been a tough go of it
16:37Some bad luck
16:38For the Clippers
16:39But some self inflicted
16:40As Conn Knieppel now
16:41With points six and seven
16:42And the Hornets lead
16:43Once again by eight
16:44Zoo below the foul line
16:48Goes up against the rookie
16:49Fading away
16:50Little push shot
16:51Off the window
16:52And I haven't seen
16:53That one before
16:53Me neither
16:54But good touch that time
16:56By Zoo
16:56We knew he
16:57He extended his range
16:59On that little jump
17:00Shot
17:01Or push shot
17:03But not the
17:03Turn around
17:05Push shot
17:06Bridges has been
17:07Somewhat quiet
17:08John Collins
17:09The rebound
17:09The first down six
17:11After six minutes
17:12Played in this first quarter
17:12See if they can get
17:14Another touch
17:14For Zoo inside
17:15Harden sets
17:20This gets a screen
17:21Comes up firing
17:22From the foul line
17:23In and out
17:24Rebound
17:24Zoo
17:24Draped with defenders
17:26Nice pass
17:27Inside to Dunn
17:28Back to Zoo
17:29For a big finish
17:30And the Clippers
17:30Starting to make some noise
17:32Good activity
17:32You keep that possession
17:34Alive
17:35And it's always
17:35Chris Dunn
17:36Finding those little areas
17:38A really great
17:39Two-man game
17:40Between the two
17:40Just always enjoy
17:42Watching Chris Dunn
17:43Like Colin Sexton
17:44Is checked into the game
17:45A whistle
17:46And a double dribble
17:47And a turnover
17:48And Charlotte
17:49Maybe coming back
17:50Down to earth
17:51Just a little bit
17:51Time to drive
17:52To the hoop
17:52Brought to you
17:53By Hyundai
17:53If you can extend
17:54Your possession
17:55A lot of times
17:56It may result
17:57In a three-point shot
17:58But off of
17:59Offensive rebound
18:00This one
18:00Came right back
18:01To Zoo
18:02Beautiful
18:02Two-man game
18:03Zoo is six
18:07Of the 16
18:08This is Harden
18:10Again
18:10And now Harden
18:11With ten
18:11Of the 18
18:12Timeout
18:13Charlotte
18:13Two-point game
18:14Yeah, I mean
18:15Earlier start
18:16Take a little time
18:17For the body
18:17And mind
18:18To catch up
18:19But now
18:20It seems like
18:20Offensively
18:21And defensively
18:22The Clippers
18:23Have broken
18:23A lather
18:24A sweat
18:24And now
18:25Have gotten into
18:26What they want to do
18:27And James Hard
18:28Harden
18:29As always
18:30And we opened up
18:32The show
18:32Talking about
18:33James Harden
18:34And the incredible
18:34Run that he's been on
18:35So why not
18:36Talk about him
18:37Right now
18:38With the run
18:38That the Clippers
18:39Are on
18:39James Harden
18:41So far
18:41Just leading away
18:42He's
18:42Doing a little
18:43Better
18:43Three for six
18:44Three for three
18:46From behind the line
18:47Look at those numbers
18:47He's 36
18:48Boy
18:49He's 36
18:50I was sitting there
18:51Watching the game
18:51With the Lakers
18:52Watching
18:52No
18:53What year
18:53How old were you
18:54When you retired
18:5436
18:5536
18:5720 to 18
19:00Did you miss it
19:00How long did it take you
19:02To get over
19:02And not play
19:03Later that summer
19:05Now about a year
19:07About a year
19:08I mean
19:08I went right into
19:09Business stuff
19:10So my mind
19:10Was occupied
19:11But I was so used
19:12To going to camp
19:13And getting ready
19:13For my body
19:14It took about a year
19:15Harden
19:16A straight on three
19:17And he just continues
19:18To impress
19:1813 for Harden
19:20444 to play
19:21In the first quarter
19:21Well the rules
19:22Have benefited
19:23Harden over the years
19:24Too
19:24So he's grown
19:25Through a lot
19:26Of the physical
19:27Backing of the
19:28Physical era
19:29To freedom
19:31Of movement
19:31And it's helped
19:33Him as he's
19:33Gotten older
19:34In his career
19:34Even more so
19:36Impressive finish
19:38By Sexton
19:39The shot
19:39Will not count
19:40However
19:41For Globes
19:41Checking in
19:42For the Clippers
19:42It beats
19:43Zuban
19:43Takes a seat
19:44Mark Brenner
19:45Will take a seat
19:46And former Clipper
19:47Russo Diabate
19:48They've seen
19:49Number 14
19:49For the Hornets
19:50Had a couple of years
19:51With the Clippers
19:52Great energy guy
19:53Both on and off
19:54The floor
19:55Good guy
19:55Having some great
19:56Success here
19:57Off the bench
19:57For Charlotte
19:58On the hands
19:59To
20:00Knipple
20:00Bridges
20:04A primetime
20:05Score for this team
20:06Hasn't done much
20:06He does draw
20:07The contact there
20:08On Collins
20:08It'll be the second
20:09Foul on Collins
20:10Here on his possession
20:11And they ran
20:13A little weave
20:14Actually to get
20:14Bridges in the middle
20:15Of the court
20:16One on one
20:17With some space
20:18That time
20:18Collins was in
20:20Good position
20:20Watch the reach
20:22Down right there
20:23Didn't need to
20:23Slide your feet
20:26A little bit
20:26Force
20:27Bridges
20:28A little bit more
20:30Horizontal
20:32Than lateral
20:33Third foul on Collins
20:35So Platoon
20:35Will check in
20:36For him
20:36The former Hornets
20:37Getting boos
20:38And I don't understand it
20:40Now one of the reasons
20:41Why
20:41Maybe
20:43Is if Platoon
20:44Was
20:44Paid 30 million dollars
20:46To be the role
20:47What he is now
20:48But as a starter
20:48With a little heavier
20:49Minutes
20:49Did average 15 points
20:51A game
20:51Those are all
20:52Career highs
20:52For him
20:53Did we miss something
20:54Did he ask
20:54To be out of Charlotte
20:55Did he
20:56Was he disgruntled
20:57I mean
20:57That just doesn't
20:58Make sense
20:58For Nicholas Platoon
21:00And it's not like
21:02He's outspoken
21:02It's not like
21:03He's
21:03I don't get it
21:05But that's fine
21:05They're lost
21:06Our game
21:06Clippers trail
21:07By one chance
21:08To take the lead
21:08After trailing
21:09By as many
21:10As eight
21:10Part stops
21:12And pops
21:12Again
21:13And again
21:14He's got 15
21:15Here in the first quarter
21:16Clippers grab the leads
21:17At the tone
21:18Sexton the other way
21:22Now his start
21:24In Cleveland
21:25Then went to Utah
21:26Misfires there
21:27Batum the rebound
21:28Now he plays the role
21:29Of point guard
21:29Before centering
21:30It to Dunn
21:31Dunn on Diabonte
21:33Rolls off the iron
21:36Diabonte
21:36Averaging 10 points
21:37A game off the bench
21:38Plus 5
21:39From a year ago
21:40Sexton the young bull
21:42To the rim
21:42And in
21:43With Diabonte too
21:44If you listen
21:45And talk to people
21:46Around the organization
21:47It's his energy
21:48It's his motor
21:49He's taking on
21:50The task of being
21:51The guy that keeps
21:52Possessions alive
21:53Do all the little things
21:55Coming off the bench
21:56And it's mowed well
21:57For him thus far
21:58This season
21:58Liam McNeely
22:01Out there for Charlotte
22:03Lopez straightaway
22:045 to shoot
22:05Drives on Diabonte
22:06A sidestep jumper
22:10Kept alive by Sanders
22:11Knocked out of bounds
22:12Boy I think that was
22:14Last touched by Charlotte
22:15For the official degree
22:16Good hustle
22:17He had those 50-50 balls
22:19You may not get it
22:20But you influenced it
22:21Enough
22:22To be and retain
22:23The possession
22:24Watch the hustle here
22:26Didn't get it
22:27But tipped it out
22:27Kept it alive
22:29Even then
22:29That force
22:31Sion James
22:32To knock it out of bounds
22:33So
22:33How about a
22:35Nice round of a pause
22:36For Tris Paul
22:38North Carolina native
22:40Lauren will have more
22:41On this
22:41In a minute
22:43Chris Paul
22:44Announces
22:45This is his last year
22:47We'll send it down
22:47To Lauren right now
22:48Hey Brian
22:49Chris posted on his
22:51Personal social media
22:52Earlier today
22:52Quote
22:53Back in NC
22:54As in North Carolina
22:55Of course
22:55What a ride
22:56Still so much left
22:58Grateful for this
22:59Last one
23:00And that of course
23:00Implies that this
23:01Could be the last time
23:03That he plays
23:03So close to home
23:04I also learned
23:05He has over
23:06200 supporters
23:08Here
23:08And of course
23:09Should this be
23:10The last dance
23:11For Chris Paul
23:12What an impact
23:13He's left
23:14Here on the NBA
23:15Well he just hit
23:15His first shot
23:16Gives it up
23:17To Hart
23:17Gets an assist
23:18Immediate impact
23:19I will say this
23:20He looked incredible
23:21Against Orlando
23:23Moving
23:23He was obviously
23:24Competitive
23:25Leading the way
23:25For the younger players
23:26And he's picked up
23:27Where he's left off
23:28And it's a great
23:30End to the story
23:30In this particular
23:32Arena
23:32Sexton
23:34Deep into the paint
23:38This fires
23:40And Hart
23:40Comes away
23:40With a rebound
23:41Colin Sexton
23:42Heavily influenced
23:43By Chris Paul
23:44Both on
23:47And off the floor
23:48You caught our
23:50Pre-game segment
23:50With Lauren
23:51Here is Hart
23:53The first by five
23:54A thirteen point
23:55Turnaround
23:56Hart creating space
23:57Has time
23:58Let's it fly
23:58Book it again
23:59James Hart
24:00Is seven of ten
24:01Blackjack here
24:03In this first quarter
24:04With twenty-one
24:05And the Clippers
24:06Lead thirty-two to twenty-four
24:08Clippers on a twenty-to-four run
24:11And
24:12Good hustle there
24:15By Christie
24:15But sexted first
24:16To it
24:17Bridges
24:17Clippers just needed
24:21That caffeination
24:22To hit
24:23Took about six minutes
24:24For that espresso
24:25But they are firing
24:26On all cylinders
24:27As Chris Paul
24:28Comes back to
24:28North Carolina
24:29Hey listen
24:30Liam McNeil
24:30Is my guy
24:31Covered up
24:31At UConn
24:32Big East
24:34Is a tough conference
24:35Yeah nobody
24:36Like James Hart
24:37He welcomed the young fella
24:41With the pattern
24:42And step back
24:43You know it's coming
24:44But you don't know when
24:45And then he gets you
24:48And you just
24:48You just shake your head
24:50Seven to shoot
24:52For Diabate
24:53And the Hornets
24:54Brandon Miller
24:55Three to shoot
24:57Nice wraparound
24:59Into Diabate
25:00Good defense there
25:01By Hart
25:01To deflect it
25:02Make the grab
25:03Difficult
25:03Turnover
25:04Charlotte
25:04And you notice too
25:05Brian
25:05During this run
25:06The defense
25:07Has tightened up
25:08A bit
25:09Where
25:09Those early
25:10Open shots
25:11Driving lanes
25:12That Charlotte
25:12Was getting
25:13Have been closed down
25:14So
25:15Kind of skewing
25:16Back to this
25:17Charlotte team
25:18That struggles
25:18At times
25:19In their half
25:20Court sets
25:20Harden
25:21Feeling good
25:22Plays a little
25:23Game of catch
25:23With Chris Paul
25:24Seven to shoot
25:29Hart
25:29Stumbles
25:30Into the paint
25:30Floats it up
25:31And
25:3123 for Hart
25:33He's almost outscored
25:34The Hornets
25:35By himself
25:36With a minute
25:36To play
25:36In the frame
25:37Miller
25:43It's a deep
25:45Three for LaMelo Ball
25:46And it's good
25:47His second shot
25:49Stops the bleeding
25:50Momentarily
25:51For Charlotte
25:52Hornets were
25:54Eight for nine
25:56Three for their
25:57Last eleven
25:58Including that
25:59Three
25:59By
26:00Melo Ball
26:01Eight to shoot
26:04For Hart
26:04And the Clippers
26:05A two for one
26:06Opportunity
26:06James on McNeely
26:09Feeling good
26:10Let's it fly
26:10Biblical vibes
26:12Here in the first
26:12Quarter
26:13Harden with 26
26:14Ball the other way
26:19Swooping in
26:19Off the window
26:20And then
26:20Count it
26:21And a foul
26:21The shot making
26:22Here in the first
26:24Quarter
26:24Has been outrageous
26:25I tell you
26:26James Harden
26:27Is on one
26:27I mean
26:28He got the switch
26:29He wanted
26:29Got McNeely
26:31Back on him
26:32And then he got out
26:33But then it's
26:34LaMelo Ball
26:35This is what
26:36Is tantalizing
26:37About this young man
26:38When he's on the court
26:38Because he
26:39Just excites the crowd
26:41He's a shot maker
26:42And creator
26:43Long
26:44Athletic
26:44You know
26:46Just want him to
26:48Know the organization
26:49And his teammates
26:49To be on the court
26:50His shooting
26:51Percentage is down
26:52This year
26:52But there's still
26:55A plus minus
26:56When he's on the court
26:57Because of his
26:58Playmaking
26:59Despite not shooting
27:00The ball
27:01As well as he has
27:01In the past
27:02It'll be Hornet
27:04Basketball
27:04To start the second
27:05Quarter
27:05But the Clippers
27:06Have the momentum
27:07And they thank
27:07James Harden
27:08For that
27:09Clippers
27:10By the way
27:10Shooting 61%
27:12From the field
27:13Whistle foul
27:13Hornets had one
27:14To give
27:15Canipa will check
27:32Back in
27:33Maybe one last
27:34Offensive possession
27:35Here for Charlotte
27:36About two seconds
27:36Between the two timers
27:38Harden
27:40In a sea
27:41Of flame
27:42And smoke
27:43Sees the double
27:44Coming
27:44Evades it
27:45Fires up a three
27:46And draws the foul
27:48My goodness
27:50His career high
27:53In the first quarter
27:54Is 27
27:55He did that
27:56He did that against
27:56The Spurs
27:57Like in 2019
27:59He has a chance
28:00To top that
28:00Right here
28:01You gotta pay
28:02Attention to James
28:03He knows where
28:04The double team
28:04Is coming from
28:05So he went opposite
28:06He went opposite
28:08The double team
28:09Was able to pick up
28:11Another foul
28:12Shooting
28:13I don't know
28:14I don't know if
28:14The Clippers
28:14Are going to try
28:15To start more games
28:16At 10 a.m.
28:17Pacific time
28:17Going forward
28:18But it has
28:19Certainly gone well
28:20For James today
28:21In and out
28:23Today
28:33How about
28:33First quarter
28:34Not today
28:35How about
28:35First quarter
28:36Like
28:37How about
28:37Right now
28:38How about
28:3926 points
28:40Right now
28:41With 36 minutes
28:42Still to play
28:43He has 26
28:44A very odd
28:47Situation there
28:48Two missed free throws
28:49If you get a quick word
28:49From one day
28:50Enjoy the new car
28:53Feels so right
28:54It almost feels wrong
28:56The Hyundai
28:56Getaway sales event
28:5760 free throws
29:00For Harden
29:00In his last four games
29:01He's missed five
29:02He missed two right there
29:03You jinxed him
29:04By saying his career
29:05High in the first quarter
29:06You did it
29:07You did
29:08Just take it
29:10Accept the responsibility
29:12See now he ties it
29:13Now he ties it
29:14He could have
29:14Brandon Miller
29:18Good defense there
29:18By Harden
29:19Clippers do not have
29:20A foul to give
29:21Miller beats the buzzer
29:22Doesn't hit the shot
29:23What a virtue also
29:24First quarter for
29:25James Harden
29:26Tying his career high
29:2727 in the frame
29:29He's 9 of 12
29:30From the field
29:31And the Clippers
29:32Lead by 8
29:33After trailing
29:35By 8 back to Charlotte
29:37After this
29:3838 to 30
29:41Clippers were actually
29:42Down 20 to 12
29:44And then James Harden
29:46Was activated here
29:48On a Saturday afternoon
29:49In Charlotte
29:50Saturday morning
29:51In Los Angeles
29:52So you see when he scores
29:5420 or more
29:55In the first quarter
29:56Things tend to go
29:57Very well
29:58Now here's where
29:58The Clippers
29:59Need to be careful
30:00This has been the issue
30:02The non-harden minutes
30:03With Kawhi Leonard
30:04Not available
30:05Bradley Beal
30:06Not available
30:06They're really going to
30:07Have to find some offense
30:08And it might have to come
30:09Through their defense
30:11Let's see what happens
30:12Here for the Clippers
30:13Out in front
30:14By 8
30:14Once trailed
30:15By 8
30:16Pat Connaughton
30:19Gives back to ball
30:209 to shoot
30:21Picked up
30:22Shadowed by Batum
30:23Now by Lopez
30:24On a double team
30:254 to shoot
30:26In the corner
30:27To Miller
30:27Catch and shoot
30:283
30:29Offline
30:30Rebound out of bounds
30:31Good start
30:31For the second quarter
30:32For the Clippers
30:33Yeah but
30:33An extension
30:34Of an aggressive defense
30:35And now you have
30:36Colby Brown
30:37You have Cam Christie
30:38In the game
30:39A little bit more energy
30:40But
30:40That second quarter run
30:43Was made possible
30:44Not just by James Scorn
30:45But the activity
30:46I think on the defensive end
30:47By the Clippers
30:48Ball picked up by Ball
30:50Into Lopez
30:51Oh a nice pass
30:52Nice shot
30:53And the Clippers
30:54Lead by 10
30:55Chris out there now
30:58With 3 points
30:582 assists
30:59This is Connaughton
31:00For 3
31:01He's played in some
31:01Big games over the years
31:02Going back to his time
31:03In Milwaukee
31:040 for 2
31:06Start in the second quarter
31:07For Charlotte
31:09Cam Christie
31:10The other way
31:10Gives to Lopez
31:11Feeling good
31:12Let's it fly
31:13And ball to rebound
31:15Get ball playing
31:19Minute restriction
31:20Under 30 minutes
31:22Miller
31:28Back to ball
31:30Good run out there
31:31By Christie
31:32A rear view contest
31:33Maybe bothered
31:34The shot there
31:35From ball
31:35Goes out of bounds
31:36And back to the Clippers
31:37As a young team
31:38To get nowhere
31:40Your bread is butter
31:40I think at times
31:41Get away from what
31:43Works
31:44Which is
31:44Concontinental
31:45Being an intricate
31:46Part of your offense
31:47Where they're coming
31:48Off screens
31:48Initiating some offense
31:50And he can create
31:51Some gravity
31:51For you
31:52You kind of
31:54Gotten away from that
31:55First ball
31:57Finds Lopez
31:57At the nail
31:58Once again
31:59This time
31:59The shot
31:59In and out
32:00Ball the other way
32:01Clifford by 10
32:02Patum
32:04Ball mishandles
32:05And a foul
32:05It'll be a take foul
32:06And it'll be a free throw
32:08And possession
32:08Here for the Clippers
32:09Of the thing
32:11With the young team
32:12And you know
32:13The metal has been here
32:14This is his sixth year
32:15But
32:15Stagnant offense
32:17Usually results
32:18From turnovers
32:19Or some bad decisions
32:20And
32:21This right here
32:22The metal ball
32:25Tends to
32:25You know
32:26He plays straight up
32:26And straight down
32:27So it tends to
32:28It's easier to get up
32:29Underneath him
32:30A little bit more
32:30Ball takes his seat
32:33There was a report
32:34Two days ago
32:34That said
32:35He was looking
32:35To get out of Charlotte
32:36I was stunned
32:38You look at this
32:39Young roster
32:40This might be
32:41The most talented roster
32:42That he has had
32:43In terms of
32:44Certainly up and comers
32:45That he immediately
32:46Walked it back
32:46So I don't know
32:47Where that report
32:47Came from
32:48I'm happy here
32:48I want to be here
32:49We've mentioned
32:50Knipple
32:51You've got
32:51Brandon Miller
32:52You've got
32:52Miles Bridges
32:53You've got
32:53Colin Sexton
32:54There's a lot of
32:54Talent around this team
32:55And it might just
32:56Take a couple of years
32:57For everybody to develop
32:58But there is something
32:59Happening here
33:00In Charlotte
33:01Patum in the corner
33:03For three
33:03It is good
33:04And the Clippers
33:05Now lead by 13
33:06And boy
33:07The vibes truly
33:08Are very good here
33:09Great energy
33:10For the Clippers
33:11Despite the early
33:12Start time
33:13Miller
33:14Tough shot
33:15Bustle whistle
33:16Doesn't get it
33:16Lopez
33:17Has the ball
33:18Knocked out of his hands
33:19It's Connaughton
33:19Into the corner
33:20For three
33:20Christie
33:22A leaping rebound
33:23Ahead to Brown
33:24Unforced error there
33:26For the turnover
33:27But an aggressive play
33:28And the ball
33:30Will stay with Charlotte
33:30Yeah
33:31Tough turnover
33:31But I
33:32Finished the defense
33:33And I know
33:33Kobe Brown
33:34Wanted to get out
33:34And run
33:35Didn't quite happen
33:38But I got a feeling
33:39Chris Paul
33:40Is going to play
33:40Integral roles
33:41At some point
33:42I'm telling you
33:44During this season
33:45I just
33:46I just got a
33:47Feeling about it
33:48Especially with him
33:49Making that
33:50Announcement today
33:51That it's something there
33:54I mean
33:54Just
33:54Going to lean into
33:56Chris
33:57And
33:58I don't know
33:59What that time period
34:00Is going to be
34:00And how long
34:01But I just think
34:04It's going to be there
34:05I mentioned
34:06The additions here
34:07For
34:08Charlotte
34:10We've got some
34:11Second round picks
34:11That are playing
34:12Big minutes
34:12And delivering
34:13And putting up
34:14Some nice numbers
34:15Or moments
34:16For this team
34:18You know
34:19Cup runner
34:20Is one of those guys
34:21Really been impressive
34:22In his time
34:23On the floor
34:24Here for Charlotte
34:25And that guy
34:25I'm already tired
34:26Of watching this guy
34:27He's incredible
34:28Knipple now
34:28With 10
34:29On 4-4 shooting
34:30I am too
34:31But I love
34:32Watching really good
34:33Young players play
34:34I mean
34:35His patience
34:36His stroke
34:36Cliff's got to do
34:38A better job
34:39If I did
34:40Identify him
34:40And stand
34:41With his body
34:42Very fundamental
34:44Is Knipple
34:46Paul misses
34:47On the jumper
34:47Flipper's holding
34:48On to a double
34:49Digit lead
34:49It's been an
34:5018 point turnaround
34:51That's the early
34:52Moments
34:53Of the
34:54First quarter
34:55Brandon Miller
34:55A catch
34:56And shoot
34:573
34:57I think he too
34:57Will be on a minute
34:58Restriction
34:59This afternoon
34:59Christy the other way
35:02Disappears behind
35:05Lopez
35:06Giant strides
35:07Down the lane
35:08And in
35:08For Camp Christy
35:10And it is
35:1145-33
35:12Timeout
35:13Charlotte
35:13Here in the first half
35:14The response
35:17By the second unit
35:18To be able to
35:19Keep the momentum
35:20Going
35:21Has been
35:21Fabulous here
35:22And
35:23Colt Brenner
35:24Known for blocking
35:25Shots
35:26Couldn't get a piece
35:27Of that
35:27With beautiful
35:27Soft touch
35:28By Cam Christy
35:29Lead early
35:3145-33
35:33And Brian and Jim
35:34You've already
35:35Opined about this
35:36A bit here today
35:37But let's look a little
35:38Closer
35:38At the end of
35:40Miko Batum's time
35:41Here in Charlotte
35:43It ended in 2020
35:44After a five-year
35:46Ten-year with the
35:46Hornets
35:47And he told me
35:48It was an inflection
35:48Point in his career
35:50And in his life
35:51As we get into
35:52Our player profile
35:53Brought to you
35:54By Kia
35:55And Batum says
35:56After getting
35:56Waved by the
35:57Hornets
35:58He almost retired
35:59It was a decision
36:00Making time
36:00During COVID
36:01He went back
36:02To France
36:03To visit with his
36:03Family
36:04And do a little
36:04Soul searching
36:05And decided
36:06He would give it
36:06Another go
36:07Over five years
36:08Later now
36:09With the Clippers
36:09He credits this team
36:11With re-energizing
36:12His career
36:12And his life
36:14He told me
36:14I went from
36:15Almost quitting
36:15Basketball
36:16To being in the
36:17Starting lineup
36:18After a matter
36:18Of two months
36:19And I will tell you
36:21He is
36:21For long-time
36:22Clipper fans
36:23One of their
36:24All-time favorite
36:24Players
36:25And when he was
36:26Waved by Charlotte
36:27He thought
36:27As Lauren said
36:28He was it
36:28It was done
36:29The only teams
36:30That called him
36:31Were all teams
36:32At that time
36:33In 2020
36:34That were contenders
36:36That needed
36:36That guy
36:37To help put him
36:38Over the top
36:38The platoon battalion
36:40Assembles
36:41In 2020
36:43And we've not
36:44Looked back
36:44He has been
36:45We had our
36:46Best role players
36:47We didn't have him
36:48For some reason
36:49We were just
36:49But he's one
36:51Of the all-time
36:51Greats
36:52Certainly as a
36:52Clipper
36:52I just loved
36:53Watching him play
36:54Nine to shoot
36:57Christie travels
36:58The ball goes
36:59Back to Charlotte
37:008-04 to play
37:01Here in this
37:02Second quarter
37:03Diabate
37:14A fellow
37:15Frenchman
37:16Of platoon
37:16Gives to Miller
37:17Knipple
37:19First miss
37:21Of the afternoon
37:22Christie the high-rise
37:23Rebound
37:23Chris Paul controls
37:24Chased around
37:31Oh what a pass
37:31Inside to Christie
37:33Follows his miss
37:34Can't get it to go
37:35Great feed
37:35From Chris Paul
37:36Christie is down
37:38Appears to be okay
37:39Knipple
37:39To Sexton
37:41Bouncing it to Paul
37:42A whistle
37:42Will send him
37:43To the line
37:43For two
37:44That's that
37:45Slot cut
37:46Chris read it
37:48Perfectly
37:49Cam just not
37:50Able to elevate
37:51And finish it
37:52That's the kind
37:54Of movement
37:55You want
37:57Especially coming
37:57Off that dribble
37:58Hand off up top
37:59Chris able to
38:00Turn the corner
38:00Chris's first game
38:02Played here
38:03Was against
38:04The Bobcats
38:05While he was
38:06A Hornet
38:07And now his
38:08Last game here
38:09In Charlotte
38:09As a Clipper
38:11Against the Hornets
38:12Don't ask
38:12Back in

38:41How good has the
38:43Clipper defense been
38:44Hornets started
38:45The game
38:46Eight for nine
38:46Since then
38:47Six for 22
38:49So commitment back to
38:53Kind of getting
38:54The defense to set the tone
38:56Set it down to Lauren
39:00Well you saw Chris Paul
39:02Guarding Colin Sexton
39:03On that last possession
39:04That sent Sexton to the line
39:05And the two of them
39:06Have a long history
39:06When Sexton was a kid
39:08Oh my gosh
39:08James Harden
39:09When Sexton was a child
39:11He attended Chris Paul's camp
39:13Chris was his coach
39:14The two of them
39:15Got to know each other
39:15And now talk really regularly
39:18With Sexton asking Chris
39:20For advice on and off the court
39:22They have a really special bond
39:23And cool to see them
39:24Face each other
39:24On a special day for Chris
39:26Yeah exactly right
39:27Zubats can't get the follow
39:28But Chris Duncan
39:30And by the Clippers
39:31Are playing
39:32Despite this being now
39:33What day number 10
39:34On the road
39:34They are playing
39:35With a great deal
39:36Of energy
39:37I think the days off
39:38In Orlando
39:39Helped
39:40Kind of get their legs
39:41Back mentally
39:43Right
39:44See Bridges get down the lane
39:45It's times you need that
39:46And this
39:47Again
39:48A game
39:49An early game
39:50You get focused
39:51You lock in
39:52Against a team
39:52That has struck in itself
39:53Got to walk out of here
39:56With a W
39:56But it's going to take
39:57You know
39:58A lot of work
39:58To get it done
39:59This kind of work
40:02Right here
40:03Brian
40:03The extra effort
40:05Getting a second shot
40:06Something that Chris Dunn
40:08Is of course
40:09Known for
40:11Clippers really had to overcome
40:15The Charlotte nightlife
40:16Last night
40:17I mean it was so much
40:22You were in bed
40:22By 845
40:23That is a true story
40:25Clippers by 10
40:27Six and a half
40:27To play in the half
40:28Harden
40:32Continues to dominate here
40:35He's got 29 points
40:36Ball kicked out of bounds
40:3729 points on 13 shots
40:42But he hasn't really been under duress
40:46You know
40:47So I think that
40:49We always talk about
40:50How James can lessen the burden
40:52Of working extremely hard
40:53To get his shot
40:54Great passing
40:56Great passing
40:56Oh what a finish
40:57Put that one in
40:58The film session
40:59Tomorrow morning
41:0051-39
41:02Flippers out in front
41:04Sexton
41:05The pull up is true
41:08For Collins Sexton
41:09Eight points off the bench
41:10In nine minutes
41:11Collins picked up
41:14Three fouls back
41:15In that first quarter
41:16Shadowed by Bridges now
41:18And Ford Bridges
41:19All over it
41:20Finally hands to Kobe Brown
41:21Eight to shoot for Harden
41:25Steps into a wide open three
41:27Oh it's gone again
41:28Six threes for Harden
41:30In the first half
41:31He has 32
41:32Sexton
41:38Another mid-range jumper
41:39And it falls again
41:41Tenth for Collins Sexton
41:42But everybody
41:47Working in the shadows here
41:49Of James Harden
41:50He has been a master
41:51And I'm surprised
41:54That they haven't ran
41:55Two players at James Harden
41:57Consistently
41:58A feel-good three
42:01Sexton
42:11The jumper
42:11Had hit two in a row
42:14And Mason Plumlee
42:16Is out there
42:16The former Clipper
42:17The first control
42:18Out in front by 11
42:19Shooting 57%
42:22From the field
42:23A great deal of urgency
42:24And energy here
42:25From the Clippers
42:25Zoo finds Collins
42:27Alone in the corner
42:28For three
42:29Oh it falls
42:30It hit every ounce
42:32Of Orange Iron
42:33And trickles in
42:34For John Collins
42:35Bridges the other way
42:40Long rebound
42:42Goes to Plumlee
42:43Knipple comes up
42:46Firing
42:47And knocks it down
42:47He's 5 of 6
42:48He's got 13
42:49Oh man
42:52New ownership
42:53Is loving that draft pick
42:55Right now
42:55To tell you that
42:56Zoo
42:59Back to Collins
43:00Why not
43:01Off line
43:03And the rebound
43:04Poked around
43:04Plumlee
43:05With a loose ball
43:05Knipple again
43:14Knipple again
43:1616
43:1716
43:17For the rookie
43:19Con
43:19Knipple
43:20And he cuts
43:21The lead down
43:2157-49
43:23And welcome back
43:28Clippers kind of rolling
43:29A lot has to do
43:30With James Harden
43:31Even when he's not
43:32Shooting the ball
43:32He's going to
43:33Attract gravity
43:34If we freeze it
43:35Right here
43:35Watch this
43:36You got 1
43:372
43:373 players
43:38That are coming
43:39Over towards James
43:40Which will allow
43:41Now Zoo
43:41To be able to
43:42Get himself
43:43In the middle
43:44Of the lane
43:44And it's called
43:45Gravity for a reason
43:46When you're hot
43:48And you're scoring
43:49Like James Harden
43:50Is
43:50The defense
43:51Is going to
43:52Shift
43:52And from there
43:53You just have to
43:54Be able to
43:54Make the right play
43:55And the last
43:563 or 4 possessions
43:57The ball has been
43:58Hopping around
43:58Kind of reminds me
43:59Of offense last year
44:01When the ball
44:02Was just moving
44:03Multiple touches
44:04Made the offense
44:05A lot easier
44:06I don't want to
44:07Be disrespectful
44:08To Charlotte
44:08I love this roster
44:09I think going forward
44:10They're going to be good
44:11But this is
44:12This is the best
44:13I feel like we've seen
44:14The Clippers play
44:15In a long time
44:15And it is
44:16Free flowing
44:17Is it because
44:18They're playing Charlotte
44:19As we say
44:19That
44:20Harden lays it up
44:21And in
44:21Great feed
44:22From a beat
44:22To Zubac
44:23But this has been
44:24An enjoyable
44:24First half year
44:25To watch
44:25Ball tailgated
44:29By Sanders
44:30Clippers have
44:31Their starting
44:31Five out there
44:323.30 to play
44:34In this first half
44:35Clippers by 10
44:36By the way
44:39Harden
44:3934
44:40After that last layup
44:41Bridges the runner
44:42No whistle
44:42Foul
44:42He'll go to the line
44:43You know
44:44It's even
44:45Making this
44:46Run in the first half
44:47More enjoyable
44:48The passing is there
44:50James Harden is
44:52You know
44:52On fire
44:53The defense
44:54Is impactful
44:55Only four turnovers
44:57For five points
44:58And we know
44:59That's been a bugaboo
45:01For this Clippers team
45:02With regards to
45:04Early in the game
45:05Turning the ball over
45:06And giving teams life
45:07Especially on the road
45:08That hasn't been the case
45:09Now
45:10A lot has to do
45:11With the pressure
45:11From
45:12Defensively from Charlotte
45:14That hasn't been there
45:14But we haven't
45:16The Clippers
45:16Haven't been making
45:17Those
45:18Unintentional
45:20Mistakes and errors
45:21That we've seen
45:24In the past
45:25They very much
45:26Seem locked in
45:27It is
45:27This isn't just because
45:29The Hornets are struggling
45:30By the way
45:30These two teams
45:31Have the same record
45:31So it's not as if
45:32The Clippers are on
45:34Such a higher
45:34Mounder here
45:35On a pedestal
45:36These are the same
45:37Records here
45:38And similar
45:39Efficiencies
45:40Offensively
45:41And defensively
45:42But the Clippers
45:43Have the experience
45:43And they're trying to
45:44Find their groove
45:45Once again
45:46Whistle
45:47And it stops the clock
45:48With 3.11 to play
45:49Defensive three seconds
45:51I love your point
45:53Brian
45:53Because basically
45:54What you're saying
45:54Is that
45:55We don't have the luck
45:57You're coming in here
45:58The Clippers
45:58We're the Clippers
46:00And we can just walk
46:01In here with a pepper
46:01Great point
46:03I didn't say anything
46:07About James
46:08Because I got yelled
46:09That last time
46:0935
46:10I like how you
46:12Well but
46:13No
46:14Nope
46:14It was a record
46:16On the line
46:17And that's why
46:18It was a little bit
46:18More vitriol
46:19You know
46:20Pointed to
46:21Remember last year
46:22Against Detroit
46:23He had 40
46:2349
46:24And we talked
46:26About how he had
46:27Going to get 50
46:28And he missed
46:28Two free throws
46:29He ultimately got it
46:30As Dunn plays it
46:3262 to 51
46:34And on many levels
46:36A very enjoyable
46:37Half so far
46:38But a long way to go
46:39We've seen the Clippers
46:40Struggle with playing
46:4148 minutes
46:42Ball around
46:44Harden
46:44To the rim
46:45Awkward shot
46:46Rebound
46:46Tapped over to Harden
46:47Clippers looking to push
46:48They've got numbers
46:48If they hurry
46:49It's Sanders on the wing
46:51In the corner
46:52To Dunn
46:53The ball
46:55Boomerangs
46:56Back over to Harden
46:57With 12 to shoot
46:58Harden chased around
47:02By a couple
47:02Of would-be
47:03Defenders
47:03Steps through
47:04No look
47:04In the corner
47:05To Collins
47:05For the three
47:06Great play there
47:09By Harden
47:0962 to 51
47:11Clippers
47:12By 11
47:12Knipple inside
47:14Catch and shoot
47:17Through
47:17That stroke
47:18Is as good
47:19As anyone
47:19In the league
47:20It is
47:21And there's Diabate
47:22Right there
47:22With that energy
47:23Giving Charlotte
47:24A second opportunity
47:25And guess who
47:26Takes
47:26Advantage of it
47:28God can nipple
47:29I'm telling you
47:32This he's got talent
47:33Man
47:33It's
47:34Ownership
47:35Is committed
47:35To the Hornets
47:36To
47:37Kind of building
47:37This thing
47:38The right way
47:39Through youth
47:39And sprinkling
47:40Some veterans
47:41Charles
47:42Lee
47:43A coach
47:44The entire
47:46Close
47:46Sanders
47:49Misses the three
47:49Diabate
47:50The rebound
47:5162-53
47:52Clippers
47:53McNeely
47:54Ball
48:01Another deep three
48:03In and out
48:03The Hornets
48:11Are shooting
48:1147%
48:13It helps
48:13That Knipple
48:13Is 7 of 9
48:15How about this
48:21He put Don
48:22Chris Dunn
48:23As he goes
48:24Through it
48:24The dunker spot
48:25Knowing the double team
48:26Is coming
48:26Then watch when he goes
48:27He gets right inside
48:28Of me and McNeely
48:29And zoo
48:31We always talked about
48:32The progression
48:32In his game
48:33And reading defenses
48:34And now delivering
48:35Passes
48:36To his cutting
48:37Teammates
48:38But five assists
48:40For a Vita Zubas
48:41Here's a double team
48:43This is going to
48:46Open things up
48:47For the Clippers
48:47You have to imagine
48:48Heart's going to be
48:49Doubled
48:49Every possession
48:50It does
48:50Result in a turnover
48:52Bridges
48:53Lays it in
48:54Just the fifth
48:59Points off of
48:59Turnovers
49:00For the Clippers
49:01I bring that up
49:04You saw the
49:05Orlando game
49:0633
49:07Heart's a three
49:08Raises the iron
49:10Rebound goes
49:10To Diabonte
49:11Two for one
49:12Opportunity for Ball
49:13Clippers only out
49:14In front by seven
49:15Despite all the
49:16Fireworks that we
49:17Have had from
49:18Heart
49:18Ball
49:24The step back
49:25One leg and three
49:26It is short
49:26Done
49:27The high rise
49:27Rebound for the
49:28Clippers
49:28Heart
49:3212 of 17
49:34In this first half
49:3535
49:35For the
49:3736 year old
49:38Predicted
49:40The double cuffs
49:41Entry pass
49:42Into zoo
49:42Deflected
49:43Out of bounds
49:44By Diabonte
49:45Charlotte does not
49:47Have a foul
49:47To give
49:48No right idea
49:49Just
49:50Colby
49:50Didn't put enough
49:51Steam on
49:52That's when you
49:52Pump fake up top
49:53And drop that
49:54Little bounce pass
49:55To the baseline
49:55And zoo
49:56I think has
49:57An easy layup
49:58For the three
49:58Three or three
49:58Ornans
49:59The double once again comes
50:11Zoom surveys the scene
50:15Two to shoot
50:16Gonna have to put up
50:17The shot
50:17And blocked by Diabonte
50:18Recovered by Diabonte
50:20Ornans looking to move
50:22Five seconds to play
50:23In the half
50:24Whistle foul
50:25Clippers had one
50:26To give
50:26Heads up play
50:27Stop to clock
50:283.1
50:29On the clock
50:29James will take a seat
50:37Ball will check in
50:38Quickly into Bridges
50:52Turns and fires
50:52And knocks it down
50:53Sanders ahead of the horn
50:58That'll do it
51:00James Harden
51:01Pours in
51:0235 points
51:03In the first half
51:04As the Clippers
51:05Lead
51:0662
51:07To 57
51:09Harden
51:11And the Clippers
51:11With 24 minutes
51:13Left in Charlotte
51:14Looking to run
51:14Through the tapes
51:15What was brought to you
