LA Clippers vs Atlanta Hawks Full Highlights 1st QTR | Mar 17 | 2024 NBA Regular Season

Are going through it right now we said this when they were going in through the peak when they were winning nine games and they were the best team for 2 and 1 half months that they would have kind of moments that were a bit of a low they’re

In those now they have a chance to break out of it here I think over the next two weeks here to close out March and regain their form and their Swagger first start after winning the tip they look to kawi Leonard Leonard spins and knocks it down for the game’s first bucket sometimes

The game is really simple in the corner isolate Kawai a little bit off the block on the left hand side and have him go to work I mean it’s as simple as you can get Kawai came through with the basket bogdanovic a three is blocked by Zoo it’s recovered by Kawai they Center

It to James Harden and I think it’s very important that the Clippers get off to a I think a great start not just from the offensive end but kind of impose their will you did mention the defense the Hawks are 23 and 16 when they score over

15 points 6 and 21 when they score less it was a shootout in Atlanta as kawh Leonard clean looking a three well he liked it when it left his hand Johnson comes away with a rebound for the Hawks yeah they’ve been playing I mean five and five without Trey young in the

Lineup says a lot about how this team is kind of built a little bit different guys playing different roles and Clint capella has always been a problem on the offensive glass where they really gotten better um the Hawks is since Trey’s been out is their defense has improved

In those last 10 games as well what a pass by Harden to Leonard saers into the lane just lobs it up gently not there rebound goes to zoo Clippers get the extended possession kaai Leonard for three this might be a game I don’t know yet that Kawhi Leonard takes every shot

For the Clippers well I mean but he’s been wide open I mean two in the corner and then that one off the outstanding offensive rebound rebound by iich to give kawhai another good look capella a favorite Target of James Harton while they were in Houston you mentioned he’s

Always been a problem on the offensive class he’s been one of the Premier role men in the NBA since he teamed up with James deep From The Heart of Texas well always a l threat in particular when teams are playing turnover there to drop [Applause] defense coming off a a tough loss in the bio in the sense of they were down their top two point guards as CR goes inside gives to B donovic lobs it up but not in rebound mid then timed perfectly by capella for the stuff Clippers hung tough I thought against a

Very good New Orleans team and if you’re a Gambling Man and I am not by Nature I would say those two teams are going to line up in round one as the four five match up who has the four who has the five Clippers have the inside track in

The standings however the Pelicans now have the tiebreaker three for George he’s hit half of those over his last seven games missfires there what but you did an outstanding job of explaining explaining to the on that athleticism and timing on offensive glass Hax got off to a great

Start this season they were six and4 but just 23 and 33 cents you heard Jim mentioned they played their last 10 without Trey young with the ligament problem in his hand they are hopeful that he’ll return when they’re in the playing game it seems like that’s where they will stay their three games

Clear of Brooklyn their three games packed I believe of Chicago in the East shot at block recovered by Johnson two-man game with Murray they L it back jackon what a pass with a finish but excellent fast break because Jaylen gave it up early enough for deante to kind of

Make a move sucked into the defense and was able jayen to get it back to finish mentioned it was a shootout with these two teams back in February Clippers scored 149 points 47 in the fourth quarter in the win George pops into the paint jumps off at two feet not

There and the rebound goes ahead to Murray PR Lo it up but not in was that in between like a pass and a shot and the rebound Works its way in the corner to Jaylen Johnson who knocks down to three he had 26 in their loss to Utah a couple of nights ago well when

Your best player is out you other things open up and I think that’s what’s happening with this with any team A lot of times but in particular with jayen Johnson finds some opportunities a beautiful isolation opportunity for kawhai to seal the young fell Johnson off and then a

Beautiful delivery that time by James Harden over the top kaai with all seven for the Clippers Johnson no rebound goes to Capella not there once again the rebound pked around Leonard dodging defenders in transition bounces nicely into man who creates space and then the defense recoils for

Atlanta Kawai for three zoo with a rebound The what a pass inside to zoo hit from behind again the the Hawks a few years ago they went pretty deep in the playoffs we’ll talk about a little bit later front office questioned whether or not they made the right decisions after that run turnover Here Comes teren man well

The to this point the Murray Trey young combo hasn’t worked to the level which they thought it would be based on paper individually they have had good Seasons that have not equated wins kawi Leonard is going to score almost every point for the Clippers or

He’s got 10 of the 12 Clippers by one yeah he’s doing an outstanding job of of kind of maintaining the space and his teammates are finding him off of dribble penetration Ka knocks in another three-point shot Ka almost 60% from the field in his last five games Murray a

Very good mid-range shooter put that one down terer toter first quarter Atlanta by one George has been really good of late puts up the first shot broadcaster Jinx in place Johnson comes away with the rebound for Atlanta you didn’t see the game in Chicago Paul George was 11 run it’s nuts and he’s had bigger shots obviously but I don’t know if anything that creative that is a

Crazy I think it’s his second game winner at the horn congrat Larry Bird stuff right there man I’m telling you man that’s some Lar bird stuff right there I will say as talented as Kyrie is he’s not the trash talker that Larry Bird is that is for sure George coming

Off the screen curling catching and cing bringing the Clippers two within one nice play out of the timeout how many times have we seen it Brian I mean out of the timeout this is when Ty L kind of draws up a play to isolate and give Paul

George a shot and that time all Paul George had to do was line him up Lace him and Let It Go Bruno Fernando goes to work throws it right into the ready hands of Paul George and here come the Clippers the other way third turnover

For Atlanta and a whistle and an off in this case in St Patty’s Day early don’t do that same it is my favorite non- gift giving or receiving holiday why is that Shamrock Shakes what else is there also good never mind Matthews for three he can shoot the

Ball knocks it down right there puts Atlanta out in front by four but you know ironically Atlanta I think is 12 and 12 12 and 11 right now against Western Conference teams so they’ve played well and offensively they’ve been able to operate a lot they make over the summer

With this current roster how much flexibility they have you didn’t know Bruce Valance do you know Sally Jesse Raphael oh Jim that’s right your wheelhouse go s Jessie from talk show host T Forest inside no and a finish by Fernando and he jams it down it’s 2116 Atlanta yeah too much

Drill penetration right now that’s Point number 12 in the paint out of 21 speaking of paint points and Terence can you finish that’s a beautiful pass by Paul George right now the Clippers are being broken down too easily off the dribble hence when the shot is up they’re caught in

Rotations and that’s why the offensive rebounds and the putbacks are plentiful George the runway is clear it back and punches it in 1
