Welcome to Light Years. The Warriors lose in L.A. to the Clippers 10299. Quick programming note here,

guys, obviously no Sam, no Andy tonight. So we're joined by Kelly O. Longtime Warriors fan. He writes

for the Mercury News, does some Warriors coverage, has his own substack where he writes about the Warriors too super knowledgeable about the game so me and Kelly are going to do the show tonight um yeah so I mean obviously Warriors lose a tough one but a fun one you know I think this is a very resilient group and we're seeing that over the course of this season here and we can dive more into that. But I mean, my first thoughts are just, you know,

Tyloo always seemed to gum up the Warriors offense. He always makes it tough on him going back to his Cavs days. But yeah, where are you at with the game tonight? And what were your thoughts? I think would you consider this the first moral victory of the season? That's what they exist. Yeah, first moral victory loss. I think you could say that. I think that's fair. Yeah.

I think that's totally fair.

What you were saying about Lou's offense or his defense, like from the first possessions of the game, you see that the Glipper's hands are in all the passing lanes. Like, they know what's going to happen. There was one possession that stuck out to me early in the first quarter it was a buddy healed was coming off a

pin down and he had the roller going down into the paint right off of it and two of the clippers defenders

went over you know and they knew exactly where that pass is going and i was thinking myself that

tyloo is seen that exact play with clay thompson so many times right it's just ingrained in that team. So frustrating loss, but also I feel like this is one of the teams that I expect the Warriors to struggle with. Yeah. And it's, I mean, it's been a thing. I think that's now six out of seven games that the Clippers have beat the Warriors. You know, Tyloos has been seeing this system for years and years and years and years now going back to his days with the cabs, the finals battles. And he just makes it really tough on them. And I think tonight is really where you see. And we talk about this ad nauseum on the show, but it's where you really see kind of the lack of the second option when teams who really understand how to defend the warrior system well. That's when it's like, okay, you kind of need another guy who can go get a bucket. Kamiga can give you it in spurts, but he only played 19 minutes tonight. And really,

you touch on this earlier. I think kind of the story of the game, turnovers, 19 turnovers the night, I believe 12 in the first half, six in the first quarter. Yeah, six in the first six minutes of the game and then free throws as well.

Worry's go 9 to 19 from the line,

Clippers shoot 16 of 18. I mean, that's the game right

there. You know, if you make your free throws at a

just... game and then free throws as well. Worry's go 9 to 19 from the line, Clippers shoot 16 of 18.

I mean, that's the game right there. You know, if you make your free throws at just a normal

rate, you probably end up with a victory tonight or at least you're not battling back from 10

in the last minute of the game. So yeah, I mean, do you think the turnover tonight are more

of a personnel issue or do you think it's, you know, on Kerr and Stats maybe adapt the offense a little bit when they know they're facing a team that knows their action as well? I think I'd lean towards the second. You definitely want to see, I mean, I guess teams that know the Warriors well, like the Brad Stevens teams as well, they feel like you see the Warriors go for high pick and rolls a little bit more

because they're more unpredictable.

There's more decisions that can happen off that initial pass to Draymond
