  Speaker 3: That wasn't great today, though, Steven, do you know what
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I can't?
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I was actually to me, he has not played well

  Speaker 1: who's gonna win MVP.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Uh. He is like he obviously, I'm sure.

• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Chalen had twenty six, Chet had twenty four, Caruso

• 3:53
  Speaker 2: nine fall down in the series. Now three love here
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: is to almost is loo.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: I thought we did a great job fighting for forty
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: eight minutes, but against this team, it's not enough to fight.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: You also have to be able to execute.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Which hip could Jie injure and what is the nature
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: of that injury?
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: What do you know about that injury?
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: At this point, he's going through further evaluations tomorrow and
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: then we'll know more.

  Speaker 3: Would you get it?
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: I don't know, I just know Hip.

  Speaker 1: How much do you think Ja's injury kind of affected
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the energy of the team going into the second half?
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: I would say quite drastically from the end result, but
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: not only the energy but also the execution.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: So Clippers came back from thirty one down thunder twenty
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: nine down as they beat the Memphis for his loose
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: to take a three to nothing lead in this series.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: And then you.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Know, I know John Morant got hurt. The grizz has
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: just choked that game. I mean, you can't blow a
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: twenty nine point lead at home. I mean, Jah is
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a great player, but he says, like, you cannot blow
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that game.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: You can. Me and Kenny they were taking some of
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: the work.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: They were taking some of the worst shots, because like
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: when you blow a lead like that, you have to.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Get help from the team who had to lead.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: They were taking some of the worst shots, and because
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you know what they you know how you know those
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: guys like when they think the game is open, they're like,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get some points.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: That's exactly what the Grizz were doing in the third
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and fourth quarter. And at the third quarter, they were
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: just trying to get numbers.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Ernie. I asked Kenny and Chuck when they have the
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: big leader, I said, coach Chuck, Coach Kenny, at one point,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: you take these guys out and say let's get ready.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: And Chuck says, well, if I'm the coach, I see
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: if I can cut it down to fifteen. And the
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: fourth quarter were down by eight.

  Speaker 2: We always talk about Okay CE and their ability to
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: force turnovers, and they don't turn the ball over points
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: off turnovers. It was eleven to two in favor of
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Memphis at halftime. It finished twenty one to fifteen in
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: favor of Okay C. You know, more turnovers than field
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: goals in the uh it was in the fourth quarter,

• 6:42
  Speaker 1: guys trying to, you know, get shots, and I agree.
