What is going on? Clippers fans? Welcome to episode one thirty seven of
Clips and part of the two and three Step Higher. If you're a fan
of Spectrum News one, perhaps you saw we're on it earlier in this morning.
That was a good time. But today we have myself Adam Oz of
Animal Updike, as well as Graham, Crew's own friend of the show before
the Fame, some of the fame, Carl Tart. We're here to talk
how we felt after game one, Howard Fielding headed into the game two.
Carl, you're our guest. How are you feeling today as the Clippers are
up one? Nothing on the Phoenix sauce. Well, as you know,
thanks for having me. First of all, as you know, anytime a
Clipper fan is feeling comfortable, that's the wrong place to be in. That's
very fair. Definitely not feeling comfortable definitely added that much more pressure because because
we won a game, this is dread, This is like it is I'm
not I'm not not feeling good. Of course I'm feeling good. I was
happy. I had a real big meltdown. I was at brunch yesterday watching
the Laker game U the Laker Memphis game, I was, and I was,
and I was with a bunch of Laker fans, of course, and
I was donned in my uh my standard edition Clipper card again sure, and
I was getting a lot of that. Yeah, and I was getting a
lot of hate and uh because I was wearing that. And because they they
you know, did what they do, get a lot of calls, not
a lot of calls to the other team. The other team kind of you
know, didn't play as good. Jo I got hurt. So I was
really upset by that. Laker fans were happy about that, of course.
Uh. And I was like, we gotta win a night like this is
a I had a bit of a meldown. I ain't gonna lie. I
was up in there like screaming. I was. I was in brunch like
I maybe had a couple too many mimosas, but I was in there like
this always happens. This is this always happens. This team is garbage like
this like as like soul frustrating because this was in Inglewoods, so you know,
all the all the older gentlemen in their hats a Michael Cooper Jersey's on
the win of course. Yeah, but no, man, I feel good
that we I feel good that we got the game. Of course, I
feel great about that. Uh, And but I've been holding onto this like
this dread that our defense wasn't great and they just missed a lot of shots
on that side. And uh, that's that's that's kind of weighing me down.
And I'm like, we you guys talked about Russ a lot on last
episode. I was just listening to it, and uh, I don't so
I don't want to harp on Russ, but go for it, harp away.
But nineteen shots, my man, Oh, we're gonna talk about the
nineteen We're gonna wall or something. Yeah, you think, my man,
John Wall, I'm gonna get my John Wall jersey. Yeah. Yeah,
you gotta turn that one into a zero. Um. Yeah, We're gonna
definitely talk what needs to happen for the Clips to win Game two and all
that good stuff. Adam will Now that we've had I had a day to
decompress. How are y'all feeling, Adam, I'll go to you as the
Clippers sit idly by at one Nothing well from the high last night? Or
are you still pretty hopped up? No? I didn't sleep that much.
I was feeling too good after last night. I did have some similar thoughts
after the Lakers went over the Memphis Grizzlies, like they're getting lucky again.
The Clippers are in a dog fight against the Phoenix Suns, and Memphis is
about to lay down for the Lakers, even though they got the seventh spot
and had to go through the play in. So I was feeling a little
bit of that impending doom, like everything's working out for the Lakers, and
it put more pressure on the Clippers in that game last night, But obviously
they didn't feel it, or they did and they played through it and responded
very well. They were down by nine in that third quarter and they came
up with a huge victory. And even though Russ did take nineteen shots and
only make three of them, I take that as an encouraging Sun that they
were able to win. Anyways, that almost says the margin for air maybe
a little bit wider than we thought it was in this series, or not
quite as slim. It's still slim, but it's not quite as difficult maybe,
And I'm assuming the Phoenix Suns are gonna play better, but they still
shot forty eight percent last night. They just didn't take that many threes.
And if Tory Craig is gonna go nine for twelve and out twenty two points
and you still win that ball game, you survive that. Because we talked
about role players and how they could step up and be killers and decide or
swing a game in this series, that's a good thing that the Clippers were
able to win. They certainly didn't empty the clip. They still got a
lot of tricks up their sleeve, I feel like, and a lot of
performances that are still coming from guys who weren't great for them last night.
Will where are you at? I'm feeling great, man, I like I
for the first time, and like can we really do this? And like
do it kind of in quick fashion, which I do still think is the
Clippers. Probably the best way if they are gonna get it done, is
like not having this thing stretch out beyond say five games, Like I think
if you get into that six seven territory, it's like maybe enough. You
know, that's almost doubling the amount of experience KD has with this team.
He was already really really good. I guess, just like looking at it
at the math problem with the whole thing, like, can you continue to
keep Phoenix sub like sub twenty three point attempts? I don't know about that.
Can you keep him sub twenty five? Maybe? Uh? And and
and then just like looking forward, I mean like Durant had a great game.
I don't think it was his best punch, but I think looking with
how little time this team has had together in Phoenix, like, can you
reasonably expect if the sample size is only four or five games, that you'll
have to endure a game where you get the best games out of both Durant
and Booker. Because the way I'm the way I'm feeling right now, the
way I'm looking at it right now, is no. And I think if
you don't get the best games out of two of those guys and our role
guys continue to step up the way that we have, I don't know,
Man, the Suns are gonna struggle in those in those minutes, uh,
you know, when one of when one of their big two is is not
on the floor. And I do think like when Campaign comes back then that
that might be able to change things a little bit. They might be able
to punish the Clippers a little bit more in those minutes. But you know,
basically, if the Clippers are assured, you know, that big of
a cushion anytime a star is off the floor. I'm liking the odds.
I don't know, I'm feeling I'm feeling really really good about this series right
now. And there was a debate on Twitter, and Carl, I kind
of want to talk to you about this. Did the Clippers steal Game one?
Because that's the narrative that's kind of being pushed at least on some social
media. And I don't know if you can say the Clippers stole game one?
Like sure, Kaui had thirty eight points played over forty minutes. The
forty minutes is going to happen every single game in these playoffs. But like
we didn't have anyone completely lose their mind from the field, you know,
Like we didn't have a bones Highland twenty five point game. Like do you
see it as the Clippers just they just straight up beat him in that game.
Yeah, we straight up beat him. We outplayed them. They they
came back on us. We went we went down. Uh. I was
you know, my stomach was in knots, so you know, I was
making a bowl of tomus and milk and uh, tumos post brand tumos and
uh. But like we we went down and we battled back, and I
think we continued to battle. They didn't take enough shots. They didn't their
bench didn't have the firepower that even and you all were talking about the bench
a lot in the last episode. Their bench has shown that they can play
well. Over the past few games since All Star Break, their bench had
stepped up quite a bit, didn't They didn't they take one from Denver with
with a good performance by the bench. No, I know that we didn't
be there. Well, that's what's crazy, is like their bench, like
they have some pieces, but it looked like Monty Williams didn't really know how
any of them were gonna play together with some of the other guys in the
starting lineup, right, Like you look at the minutes distribution on the bench,
Shammon played twenty three minutes. No one else for the Sun's bench played
more than seven and a half. Yeah, they're gonna make adjustments on that.
I think I don't. I don't think you can say. I think
it's disrepeabed to say we stole one. I think it's the same thing that
you know when we beat the Lakers in that last game and they were at
full health, and you know, we were down PG and they and my
the people I went to high school with in the in the g chat,
we're all like, man, y'all had to play Kauwhai forty minutes to beat
us, Like, okay, so he his job. Yeah, what are
you supposed to do? What? We like, what are we talking about?
Like you got Lebron James and Anthony Davis, you got the goat and
a when healthy, a top five player in the league. So yeah,
we had our we had our other, our top five player in the league
out there doing his job, and we were down the player. We were
down a top fifteen player, Like what are you talking about? Like it's
so I think that's the same thing. We're never gonna get our credit a
very good point, and they're gonna say, well, they stole that they
shouldn't have won that they Phoenix is gonna do And of course that stuff is
gonna get in our heads and and and also we're for smart people here,
so we know that Monty Williams is a smart coach and he is going to
make changes in in his hes, gonna adjust and he's a good coach with
adjustments and things like that. So we gotta be aware. But I don't
say we stole it. I think I think we earned that. If we
had at we had to stole it, they wouldn't have scored more than a
hundred points. That's it steal. It's like we get we we we win
one hundred and twenty seven to ninety two, and and norm Power got thirty
and Norm Power's got thirty and and Bones Highlands got twenty five, and Eric
Gordon's got twenty eight and rowco comes in and as six threes like that,
that's a that's a stealing of game. We just we just outplayed them and
they got out playing out coach. That'll be game four to to end the
series, will be the game. That's when we get there. They're gonna
put the Kevin Durant sitting down in the end of the third quarter. Adam,
where are you at on this? I know you had some big thoughts
about this. Uh this, Adam is stolen. This stolen game. Even
getting into it on Twitter. For those of you who are new to the
pod, Adam is the uh, I would say, kind of surprisingly Twitter
warrior of this podcast. You get into it with more people on Twitter.
You've been blocked during an episode before. I'm the Twitter watchdog. Yeah,
anybs out there, I'm barking at it. And it came from Shane Young.
A lot of people would say as a Phoenix Suns apologist or a Phoenix
Suns fans loved Chris Paul, who was worse than Russ despite Russ going three
for nineteen, which is insane. But he was not a fan of them
bringing in Russell Westbrook. A lot of people weren't and that he has been
one of the guys saying they don't necessarily need a point guard. And I
don't necessarily disagree with him, and he does fine work. But I responded
to him saying, Clipper Steel game on the road, he does, he
does a great job. I appreciate his analysis. He does quality work.
Clipper Steel game one on the road, taking home court advantage in this series.
So I responded with Steele question mark. He said, a road team
winning Game one is underdogs, is definitely a Steel I said, not if
you outplay the opposition most of the game and have Kawhi Leonard, he said,
still considered a steal. That's why it's in multiple headlines today, I
say, ah, yes, headlines. Lol. Uh, they weren't down
ten for most of the ball game and then stole it at the end.
But okay, that's what I would consider a steel. If you were being
dominated the majority of the ball game, then all of a sud a couple
of turnovers by the opposition, they let you back in and you win the
game. That's not what happened. An upset is different than a steel,
and upset it's absolutely different than a steel. Yeah. Yeah, the steel
is disrespectful. It's a little bit dismissive. Now, if you're saying they
stole back or took back home court advantage, I can accept that. That
makes a little bit more sense to me. But describing the game as stealing
it just because they won and were the underdogs, I don't think is,
you know, a very good way to wrap up how Game one was laid
out, Because the Clippers just outplayed them for the most part. I'll played
them the whole time, like, and they weren't out there like bumbling idiot,
They weren't out there being a bulk and skull from power Rangers like they
weren't like they weren't doing that like, it wasn't they were playing good basket
when they got Kevin Durant didn't have a triple devil. It was close.
He was one rebo on the way. Yeah, yeah, man, Like,
come on, like, I don't it wasn't steal it was it was
you all counted us out. Everybody counted us out. We even counted us
out. Like and Clippers fans, we are ingrained after what we've watched to
say we probably aren't gonna win Game one. I've been, yeah, I've
been. I've personally been saying I'm tired of that. I've I've dealt with
so much Laker delusion over the past a few weeks, with them being like
they're going to the finals and the Vegas odds going on the way they were,
and then I'm so, I'm I'm done. I'm being delusion. We're
winning this series and I don't even believe that's delusion anymore. I'm beating my
chest. Oh, I'd agree, it's not delusional. We're up one out,
up one, We're winning this series. We're gonna win it. They
like and and and you know, we'll see what happens from there on out.
But it's it's ridiculous that we always have to, you know, be
some of the people who uh perpetuate the beat down that we take because like
if the headlines say steal, that's because the headlines ain't never are respected of
y. Yeah, on the headlines are trying to be over the top and
headlines aren't context. Headlines, screaming headlines are to get people to read it.
That means nothing. It's technically a steal because headlines say that who cares
what a damn headline says? It's three quarters of this game, Like right,
there was like a small there was a small chance where it seemed like
they might be out of it, and that was really it, man Like.
Other than that, it was it was a pretty complete victory. Yeah,
what's crazy. I gave one quarter. Yeah, and that's what we've
done all year. We give one quarter, we try and take the other
three. What's so great about winning game one two is now we talked about
the pressure how the Clippers you know, they don't have you know, four
games in seven days really hurts Paul George's timeline to come back kind of hurts
the whole like gel factor with the team, All that pressure is on the
Suns now because now there's this team where everyone's saying talking about headlines like what
is this going to do? Does this bench even really know how to play
with KD and things like that in these highlyver situations. Now they're on that
flip side of the less time while trying to figure out more than like Mntie
Williams has more to figure out than Tylou has a figure out. I think
I think that pressure is especially difficult on a team of this style of play
that's a jump shooting team, because those are very fine, precision type of
shots. It's not a team that gets to the basket and destroys you in
the post or just dumps it off to DeAndre Aiden. Even he attempts to
jump shots and he hit a couple I think on a beats the Zoo Boss
yesterday, but Big Zoo outplayed him overall. But for a team that has
some mental scars over the past couple of years, have had some really down
moments in the Phoenix Suns. For them to already be feeling the fire after
game one in the first round like this and to have that much pressure heaped
upon their shoulders, that's not going to be easy because, like I said,
the Clippers, they didn't empty the clip. Will you said it last
night? I thought you put it best. There was no outliers from this
Clippers team that got them the victory. A lot of what they did is
repeatable. In fact, some of the outliers stuff was on the negative side.
Russ going three of nineteen. Yes, it's happened once before, but
it's unlikely to happen again in the same series, especially getting up nineteen shots.
I expect him to take less. But Kevin Durant was good. He
didn't take a lot of shots food out there. He had seventeen points in
the second quarter. They got fourteen free throw attempts in the second quarter.
Bones Highland got hit in the face. They didn't get the benefit of a
great whistle in that ball game. They still found a way to win.
Norman Powell can still get an easy twenty plus in this series. Terrence Man
can play much better. They have a ton of guys that can still erupt
and have a big performance, and we call that the Terrence Man game or
the Bones Highland game. They haven't had one of those yet. So the
Clippers still have a lot left in their quiver. You know, they got
a lot left that they can show the Suns too before they adjust. One
thing I'm kind of curious about, and you know, we've talked a little
bit about like the rotations and how I think it's kind of limited until at
least Campaign comes back. What the Suns can do from like a personnel perspective
to try to match up better with these clippers. One thing I'm curious to
see if they make the adjustment too, is trying to attack the drop coverage
a little bit harder, because that was a big key. I feel like
in some of those long range shots that the Suns are happy to settle for
right. They're called the mid range Mafia for a reason. But do they
maybe switch the emphasis to trying to get to the rim a little bit more
in those situations, especially when they feel they have a mismatch And is that
something that could be successful? Is that too big of a change for the
Suns. I don't know. It's just something I've been thinking about. And
who are the guys that are going to be doing that. Chris Paul isn't
someone who's getting downhill and getting easy layups anymore like he used to Devin Booker
could, but he just had a situation where he had his shot blocked in
the biggest moments. Speaking of pressure, he's gonna have to deal with overcoming
that after arguing with the referee and Russell Westbrook throwing the ball off him.
I don't know if they have the personnel that's really equipped to do that.
They see eight and get a little bit more aggressive though, because I feel
like that's one thing that maybe they didn't take full advantage of. Oh yeah,
Carl, how did you feel about your favorite boy, zoo and just
game one? Listen, man, let me tell you all some how many
points did Tory Craig had. Tory Craig had twenty two? Right? Twenty
two? Correct? All right, let's move off from Zoo bat. That's
the point. The point is where Tory Craig to have twenty two though,
who cares? Listen, This man got online and said, did you expect
that twin two points tonight? He said, yeah, once I saw zoo
Bog was guarding me. Right, that's disrespectful because he wasn't really guarding him
either. He was shade off of him. He was on him just so
he could still have a foot in the lane. What you guys are zoos?
Absolutely? What does Zoo got to do to get a thumbs up from
you? Also and were talking about Zooba. I need you to do something
for me, Adam Aslin, what's that name the center? I need you
to name ten of the top ten centers in this league? Well, because
I said Zoo's the top ten center in this league. Yeah, I couldn't
tell you. Probably ten. Look, okay, who's better than Zoe?
Let's go there? That's what That's what I meant that yokitch Bamn. I
guess if you count him? Would you rather have Zoo or Bam? You
know they have Bama? Would you rather have we know him? We know
your answers to him beating Yoki. Would you rather have Valentunas or Zoo?
Zoo? Zoo better? I don't know if I feel that way, Like
just his reliable, like Zoo's reliability is. Now, while I'll give you
all this, I'll give you all this, Zoo is better than Mason plumbering
the people who think that Mason should be starting, I don't I don't agree.
I don't agree with that, Glen, I don't agree with that.
Mazon Blumber is just starting to sinning in the league. He may be on
the on the on the on the bottom. Morning you're saying the Clippers are
gonna win this series if they, you're also gonna be saying to Viza Zoo
Bots is better than DeAndre Aiden, because that's I hope you're right, But
right now, would you rather have DeAndre Ayden or A visit the Zubox like
your team Zoo and his contract for sure? Okay, let's talk about defensive
play within six feet of the rim. DeAndre Aiden's given up sixty two percent
in those situations. He's not the defender that Visa Zoo Bots is at the
rim, which is what the Clippers need. Can't he catch the ball and
make a mid ring? Would you rather give me your numbers on who's better
at catching the ball and who has better hands? Man, I don't know
the numbers. I'm gonna tell you like it might be eight though, I'm
gonna I'm gonna be real. At this point, every every team, every
fan base complains about like unless unless you could go to Cleveland and maybe go
to Jared Allen or Evan Mobile, I'd rather have Jared Allen in your business
I'd rather have Bevan Mobile as well, but I think it's I think it's
pretty obvious. As a defensive center, Zubos is in the top ten.
Yes, listen, I'm I was proud of Zubos this year. I think
there were times where we needed him to come up more and he didn't.
There were times where he got into bad foul trouble and he didn't need to.
He just wasn't quick enough on his feet. There are matchups that exploit
him in a way that other centers, even when they are on the lower
tier, don't get exploited. And he bother He bothers me something to give
details a good offensively through like he was the most efficient offensive player to start
this game. We would rather have my man what's what's twins name in in
in Milwaukee Lopez. Would you rather have a Brook Lopez or a well Lopez
was just probably yeah? Why so? Yeah? Probably a little Pez.
He's top ten for sure. All right, thank you so much. It's
all on the same. You didn't name guys better than two. I think
I named seven eight, so I'll give you if he stopped in. He's
ten. He's top ten, absolutely, Yeah, He's not like top five.
It's like the top It's like how PG is on the top ten player.
But don't you fix your face? Who ad Anthony Davis? Yeah,
when he's healthy is top about Come on, that's a basketball that's basketball.
No one, no one who is dependent on someone else offensively is a top
five player period. All right, Well we disagree. I'm telling you from
a basketball standpoint. I don't know the numbers. I don't know the plus
minded, I don't know. I'm just saying what team is without a better
ball handler next to him? And what team could he lead without a better
ball handler than him next? Well, I mean, what so you think
Yoki Yoki is the number two center in the league? Right? It's I
think or that that one too. Yeah, they're like they're they're a tear,
and then there's kind of everybody else. Do you think, what does
what does yokis do with ad? Healthy ad versus what does healthy a d
do with Yoki? Like against each other, versus each other, verse,
each other, verse each other. Adi's cooking him one or I think that's
a little bit overrated, and Davis always gets the best. I think it's
over We can agree to disagree. Here's one thing. Oh, we can
agree that Zoo's top ten. Now we went through it, all right,
I'm ten and a half. All right, all right, we gotta get
this back on track. We're talking from Charlotte. Yeah, just just you
saw him drop some basketballs. He shouldn't for a guy at his size,
even though he had broken hands at the moment. And that's where this whole
stigma comes with Piz. When he first came in, he had broken fingers
on both hands. He had a broken finger on both hands. He's had
that for the past four years. Yep, you just said you were impressed
with him this season. I was more in press. He had a twenty
nine and thirty one game, and I was like, okay, all right,
Carl's like, why can't he do this every game? Why can't you
do that every night? Needs to take shots. Other guys got to take
shot. If he's not an MVP candidate, he ain't a good big man.
I guess I don't know. I mean, I don't know. Welcome
to the modern NBA at him? Yeah yeah, man, if he hain't
got no hang on, no rings. All right. This was a surprising
Twitter Warrior conversation. Much worse all right, Coming up, we're talking Clippers
in game two, what they'll need to do other than Zoo having thirty seven
and twenty seven. We got ads coming up they've been to if you go
ahead and turn it down. Game two talk coming up in three two one.
All right, welcome back into Clips and Dip. Your friendly neighborhood.
Clippers podcasts were joined by Carl Tart today. We talked about how we're feeling
coming off a game off of game one. What are you guys expecting to
see from Clippers game to Adam, I'll go ahead and kick it to you.
You sometimes have some You generally have some good stuff to say. Disagree
hard, disagree. I raised it up to quality once a little while,
but uh, you know I said it last night. I just think Norman
Powell has to be more involved offensively. As good as Eric Gordon was.
Twelve of his nineteen points came in that first quarter. I don't know if
he's getting nineteen for them if you want to say, that was the Eric
Gordon game, even though I think he'll have close to twenty again in one
of these games upcoming. But it may not be in game two. You
may not be able to sustain this performance and roll it over Norman Powell,
though only fourteen points, six of those coming in the fourth quarter. Get
him rolling, get him going downhill. Because the Clippers lost the free throw
battle they attempt at twenty nine the Sun's attempt at thirty three. If you
want to win that, and I think they need to overall in the series,
Norm Pale's got to get involved. And it's not just about him and
his foul baiting which people call it, or him exaggerating the contact gets to
the rams sometimes famously, he's the only guy in the league that has that
disgusting He's still if you're attacking right at the cylinder, you're gonna get more
calls. And that's what Norm Powell does, especially when he's going to his
right. Unless big zoos there, which he's not because he's on his team,
nobody can stop him at the rim. Yeah, only four free throw
attempts for for Powell on this one, and you talk to we talked about
kind of coming into this game, like the free throw disparity and like volume
and efficiency from three are offensively just the two best things the Clippers can do
to overwhelm the town. For the Suns, right, So I think it
Clippers. It just goes back to the stolen thing a Clippers win, wherein
Norm Powell only takes four free throw attempts, also not really stealing anything.
And another thing too that was kind of interesting is we had how many starters
with four or more fouls for the Suns, Like, you know, like
I think we could have pushed the issue a little bit more and even got
things a little bit harrier for the Suns and how they could defend us going
down the stretch. Four of their five guys had at least four fouls.
That's crazy. And you know, part of the reason the Phoenix Suns and
their guys off the bench and that rotation was out of whack. They started
Tory Craig, they wanted to go that route, so that kind of threw
everything out of source for them. That campaign campaign is questionable for game two,
Carl, do you think if campaign plays the spread right now seven a
half points? Do you think if campaign plays, the Clippers are in I
don't know if trouble's the right word, but you know what I mean,
like that just bolsters. I mean he's their best bench player. Obviously,
Yeah, I hate campaign. He is on my he is on my Why
he's such an annoying little dude, Like I know exactly what you're saying,
Such an annoying little dude. I hate him against every team. I hate
him against teams that I hate. When I see him coming to the game
against the Celtics, I'm rooting for the Celtics when I like, I really
cannot stand. He seems like such a like I'm such a loud mouth when
I'm when I'm good, and I mostly suck, Like you know what I
mean, Like you know what I'm saying. It makes sense, like he
just yeah, I'm yeah that good good name changed for me. Uh but
I do I do think that, you know, against teams like the Clippers
against he does play well and I and with Chris Paul not being tiptop,
I think he's a good backup point guard for him. And uh but I
think I also think that Russ. I trust Russ on campaign if that's if
that sounds crazy. No, we talked a little bit coming into this series,
like I think when Russ is an on ball defender, he is not
I mean he's not He's a not as bad as people have made him out
to be. Over his career, And I was saying coming into this series,
like, I'm not losing my mind if it's russ on on Booker or
Russ on Chris Paul. You know, you know, one on one like
type of situation. I don't think that you're getting I don't think that you're
getting burned fifty one percent of the time as Adam. As Adam would guess,
I'm losing more in my mind if he's Guarden Devin Booker. But I'm
not losing my mind if he's Guarden campaign. Hey, I saw this that
just came out. Joey Lynn put this out on Twitter. But Russ defended
k D, Devin Booker, and Chris Paul for fifty nine combined possessions.
They scored just six points on twenty five percent shooting. Yeah, but how
many shots did they actually think? Yea, how many shots. There may
be a reason they didn't take that many shots. If you don't get to
your spots, you're not taking him as much. He was good yesterday defensively,
I'm not saying he wasn't good. I'm not here. I'm not going
to sit here pretend that he shut down these three players in a dynamic way
that held them to twenty percent shooting. Here's the thing about him guarding it.
He started on Kadi, right, So I think, yeah, Katie
was was was played that stupidly in my opinion, Sure, why are you
not just going to the post and killing him like he's trying to prove some
stupid shit and uh and that's why he's, you know, not taking enough
shots and being inefficient if you, I mean as inefficient as he's gonna as
kdo. So with Russ, I'm not gonna again, you know how I
feel about that stat. But he's got to take less than nineteen shots,
right, I don't think we're getting through another game with a victory if Russ
is And I'm not even saying going three of nineteen, I'm saying just taking
nineteen shots. He should not be taking nineteen shots. That was John Starks
Game seven against Houston ninety four or two of eighteen. But right, I
would say like fourteen shots around there maximum. If he goes six to fourteen
tomorrow night, that would be fine. And he did miss a lot of
easy ones. That little fall away leaner he's got like he can hit those.
That's what he did against that game against Memphis when they didn't have Kawhi
Leonard, you know, an hour before the game they figured that out.
Russ won it for him, and that back to back in Memphis, he
was hitting that consistently. He's capable of a bounce back performance offensively. But
yeah, it doesn't have to be nineteen shots. Ye, how x is
Kawai gonna play? Are we in line for another? It's at least forty,
right, Like, is it just twenty and then twenty and we hope
that in those four minutes he's not playing that the bench and Russ can figure
it out, like it has to be forty. Yeah, I don't see
anyone. I don't see any way for the Clippers to win with him playing
less than that. But you know that's the playoffs like that. Yeah,
that's what he's here for. That's what he sat all season four. Yes,
literally, that all the last pot. This is why loads man,
This is the good example of load management working. Is forty plus minutes,
thirty eight points defending the best players on the other team. Yeah, and
he's not afraid of the suns at all. Like if you watched his shots,
none of his shots are in the paint. He does not care what
they're throwing at him. They would shade doubles. When he was guarded by
KD with eighton coming around and ver telling he was he did not care at
all. Like we need Kawai to play forty. I hope we don't need
thirty eight from Kawhi. We are going to need thirty right. I don't
want to sound crazy there, but like I'm hoping, I don't. I
don't know if it's Terrence. I don't know if it's another bench guy.
We talked about not being afraid of the Suns, and I think a guy
that could step up and is definitely not afraid of the Sons is Terrence Man.
He's not afraid of anybody. He's not afraid of anybody. I love
the way he was guarding CP. What do you want to see Carl tart
from from Terrence Man from Enemy Number One? I want to see I want
to see Terrence Man play the game that I know he can't play, not
timidly. Yeah, too many turnovers. Uh. I was. I was
so stressed out and my and my tumos weren't super working, so I had
I went and I went to the movies and to watch Air and uh,
I gotta I gotta go see a feel good story about it man getting the
first shoe deal. Um, but this is a paid promotion. Hey listen,
man, I'm not a corporate shill, but if I were to be,
I would say, go see the motion picture Air. No pretty good
movie, by the way, but I want to see I want to see
him cut down on the turnovers. I want to see him step up defensively,
and I want to see him also to fill his role. His role
is Kroger Brand PG and Kawhi like he's our guy. I mean, yeah,
he went over three from three. You'd like to see at least one
of those falls. I want one of those go in. I wanted to
take more like don't don't fall into old. One thing I used to get
mad at him about in previous seasons was he would get into I'm scared mode
or what at least what it felt like he passed up that the layup right
underneath the rim. I think he passed out. He missed the three and
it was kind of like Terence Man, we're up five. Yeah, maybe
just lay it in in. Uh So I want to see that. Yeah,
like you said, cut down on the turnovers and just just play it.
Play it at your clip, bro, Like do what you do.
Like be that guy that that we need you to be when Kawhi needs to
breathe here and you're the defensive anchor out there with some players that may not
be as defensively strong as you are, especially if Power one's up any more
minutes. I think that he could really help out there, especially if if
you know, those guys are out there with Kawhi taking a break. Um,
I'll tell y'all I saw him. I told y'all I saw him right.
Oh, I'll tell you the story of seeing Terrence Man at Creation Organic.
Yeah. I mean, I'm happy he's eating so healthy. That's so.
I'm driving to the gym and it was not the same day you saw.
No, not that would have been insane, but it was. It
might have been around the same week. It was a good week, but
it was a few weeks ago. I'm driving down the street. My gym
is on Highland and Santa Monica basically, so I drive down. I get
off the freeway at at Kawanga and take the you know, Wilcox to Lexington
and on the corner of Lexington and Highland is a creation and so I pull
up and Terence Man is there with his lady. Real look and uh that
man is in the NBA. Uh and got a second contract more importantly,
not just in the NBA. Yeah, actually in the contraction. And so
he had like a box of something and they're kind of talk and they got
a dog out. I think they're like letting a dog pee. And I
see him. I go, that's Terrence Man. And I'm like, I
let down my window and I go t Man, and he like looks up
and I go, clipper Nation baby. He goes and just kind of keeps
walking. I send you guys the picture of his back. Uh. But
like he didn't give me no, And I was like, damn, I
feel like a stupid ass for yelling at it. Like it made me feel
so because I don't like I get weird with with that type of stuff,
especially with that. So I was just like, damn, I shouldn't have
bothered him. But because he was not enthused. But then I also was
like, well, what did I expect him to do? My man walk
over to my car and me, oh my god, I know you from
Clipson dep Yeah, he did not know you from that. That's very fair.
Um, yeah, man, I hope Terrence Man can get the can
feel the connection he felt when you yelled at him at Creation and and have
a better game too. He did not see Well, wait a minute,
hold the phone, Carl tut Is that my man right there? It was
a background on Glee is my favorite show. He's gonna have one of those
Jordan Pool performances when he sees the batties on the sidelines. Just thinking about
when Garrets vancies cartroying Neonder eight. That's a good time. Um. What
I don't know, are we worried about anyone on the bench from the Suns
sham starting lineup? Also because the Clippers aren't the Clippers one game one,
if the Clippers would have lost, I think we would have seen the starting
lineup change. I don't know what it is, but the Clippers one.
So we're going steady. Are the Sun's gonna put a coge in because a
lot of Sunstrands were pissed off that he did not play. If they go
back to a coke he I kind of feel like that's them already. A
little shook and a white flag. It's conceited yeah, like maybe making maybe
making the change early was already then being a little bit nervous about about the
defense um and dealing with kauai Um. But I think too, like,
I mean, it's only a five point loss to immediately make the change.
I think that is a good sign for the Clippers that maybe there's an overadjustment
happening there, which to me would well lead me to believe that they got
some uncertainty, that they're a little that they're a little scared of this Clippers
team. Yeah, they're running out of moves, while the Clippers still have
so many in their bag with coach Flew that they can still make out there
so per usual. Hey, Rocoke is still getting this series. I still
God, dude, I wanted Robert coming into play so much more basketball here,
and even I am no longer on the we must see Roco come out
there and do it a little thing like I would love it. I am
not, I reside that is in my I don't know. I don't even
know what I thought it was gonna be him those those practice practice jersey photos
we thought he was on He was guarding Brandon Boston Jr. Who was KD
in the in practice, and I thought I thought they were gonna start Roko
on Kadi if they lost Game one. I thought they would have done that.
The real question is, Carl Turt did you buy the Roco jersey?
Is that why he is doomed? And in this Clipper's rotation, I did
not buy the Roco jersey because I don't want him to get traded. All
right, what did you do with the John Wall jersey? Was hanging up
in my closet next to who my uh, next to my three pat babs.
Yeah, my Tobias Harris eighty four. Uh could be soon as if
you know. I went back to NBA Auctions to get a zoo because there
was a zoo up there. So probably the cheapest jersey on the on the
site. Uh, that's not And and that was I was even I was
disrespected by that. It was it was. It was three hundred a game
warn for like, oh god, yeah, was it this thirty twenty nine
game though it was not that one. Oh that would have been actually super
tight. That one probably went for a lot. If he didn't keep that,
I would have twelve hundred bucks. That's gonna be the best game of
his career. Zoo probably sold it himself. He was like, twelve hundred
bucks game. I don't want it, my brother, Yeah, no,
I was gonna buy. I was like, yeah, let me get this,
Zoo, because I was thinking of the jerseys of the players that I
could fit on the team, and it's probably Zoos, even though it would
be super long, but I could fit it up top. Yeah. Yeah.
I was like, yeah, you're like, it fits up top just
look at me. Yeah, and it looks great. Big Zoo have to
do to impress you in this series average fifteen and fifteen, Hell yeah,
and he can do that. Absolutely can do that. Yeah, in thirty
minutes a game, you'll be fair. Be fair should be doing that.
He's already at twelve and fifteen, so he just needs three four points.
Top ten center in the league should be doing that. Part of it is
I'm a feature him, but when they do he performs left in two turnovers,
I'm giving him two two. That's a good metric. Actually, I
like the idea. I'm last game. That's a thing we talked about.
So turnovers. If the Clippers aren't shooting themselves on the foot, they got
a good chance to win this game. Too. Will what's another thing?
Maybe you're looking foreign game too? To bring it back two? To bring
it back to two? Oh well, I mean we already talked about Norm
Powell going off, We talked about some of the bench guys. I'm curious.
I'm just curious to see how Kawhi is going to adjust if they do
end up sending doubles out in more aggressively more double and I think that I
think that it can go either way. I mean, I've been really impressed
at times with Kauahi being able to pass out of those situations. But what
happens if we don't get the performances that we got last night from the role
player guys? What if shots aren't going down? Train to far here?
What? What you know? What is his answer? What is our answer?
Then? How do we counter Norm man Bones? They can all play
much better. Eric Gordon could still get you fifteen he's got he's got an
average fifteen and eighteen or I want to lose my shirt over this series.
I'm surprised that he got minutes like he did. Who Bones? Yeah,
I kind of was too man like. Thirteen was kind of a lot for
that game. Here was here was my thing with that. We talked about
this a little bit coming in. I asked these guys if they thought Terrence
Mann and Bones would come out with Kauai as they have done post All Star
Break. And the thing to me is like the lineups have just been so
good with that, Like with that unit, I just don't get why you
would stray away from it, right, um, And I you know,
I think it was a little bit diminishing returns in game one. Obviously things
are different playoff environment, um, but I think yeah two have come like
to completely abandon that to me would actually be kind of troubling that maybe Tyler
is overthinking things a little bit too much. So I'm curious to see what
Bones's minutes looked like in this game too. But do you think it depends
if they start a code againstead of Craig or do you think I want I
want a Mere Coffee locking up Tory crate, a Mere Coffee jersey. I
mean, if if he gives a jersey on NBA auctions, I'm buying it.
His was more expensive than zoom buds. He did have one on that
and it was it was four forty. He had people in Minnesota run on
that bet up, I bet all the Brian and Semen nicknames and stuff.
He's given them all the poets. That's actually that's actually a good point.
But Bones and team Man started the second quarter with Russ, with Norman Powell
and Mason Plumley, and they won those minutes that they got them up to
sixteen, just like they had been starting second quarters recently. With Kawhi going
to the bench after playing the full first quarter, he went right back to
it and it worked. So I'd expect to see it again. And we
talked about the three point kind of math problem here for the Clippers. They
only hit thirty two of their threes. The suns shrink the floor, they
put a bunch of guys in the paint, especially when Russ's out there.
We're going to see that, so, like I am really hoping we see
some of these goose eggs from some three point shooters are a little bit better.
Russ, do not take six three pointers. I do not care how
Hope and they are. Please do not take six three pointers. Norm's gonna
get hit more than one of four, Tarren's gonna hit more than one of
three. Bones was probably gonna hit more than one of three, So we're
gonna get some help there too, And if Batoomb can hit some early,
that will be huge for the Clippers to take this game too. I think
they hit fifteen threes or more. I think they're winning Game two. They're
thirteen and three when they hit sixteen or more threes this year the Clippers,
let me change that to sixteen. Then they hit sixteen or more. They're
capable of it, especially twelve when they hit exactly fifteen. Remember Adam no
to what Will was talking about with those doubles coming to Kauai. That's when
you have to knock down those shots. That's when the ball is swinging around
the perim. Nicholas Batoum went one of three from the outside. I wouldn't
mind seeing him get a couple more up in his twenty one minutes, playing
a little bit more in game two, because if Nick Batum gets hot from
three, that's another guy Layton ball games that just comes up with clutch shots
from distance. Yeah, all right, coming up, we're gonna be talking
some predictions why that old man was yelling at Russell Westbrook at halftime, and
then we might check in with the Clippers curse. I don't know if he's
around or not. We got ads coming up. Those have been a little
out for people. We got ads coming up in Predictions Ads in three two
one, Clips and Dip episode one thirty seven. We got a special guest
Carl Tart with us. I'm Adam Oslin. We got check Monkler, William
Updyke. We did two different podcasts, one on Clippers Talk last night and
then the clips in Dip Pod in studio in Burbank. You guys definitely want
to check that out at Clippers Podcast on YouTube, at Clippers Pod on Twitter.
So a video came out, I guess right after half time. I
didn't see it till much later in the game. I actually thought it was
after the game of Russell Westbrook getting into it with a fan in like a
shoot of the tunnel that almost looked like best of the Best. Eric.
Yeah, what it is is, so there is a where the away locker
room means there's a door that's right in front of that that leads to like
Alexis Lounge. Yeah that yeah, that goes right directly to the court,
as opposed to a super long walk that gets you to the tunnel. Right.
So he was cutting through there and somebody said something crazy to him.
Terrible stadium design. Terrible stadium design, especially when your stadium is in Phoenix,
Arizona, the Alabama of the of the West agreed. I love that
Arizona's a trash state. Phoenix is a whole the ground that only exists because
of air condition. If you look at when air condition was invented, that's
when that state started to take off. Um, the NBA is gonna investigate
this, but people don't think anything's gonna happen to Russ. I can't see
anything happening to us. Better not, he better not get fined for this.
West Brick and he was like, say that shit again, and the
guy was like, maybe I will, And then Russ was like, I
will. I could kill you if I wanted to. Was it? Rest
Brick was yeah, that's good. Yeah. If you got to use a
skip bayliss in soul to go after somebody, you are as unoriginal as a
guest. That is pathetic. It is not even about originality. He was
an asshole. And to me, I'm really upset with the league since the
malice in the palace, like these players should not be subjected to anybody saying
anything to them that is not positive, Like now, maybe he shouldn't have
walked again. Even trash talk, but I think when you're trash talking a
guy from halftime, being like, what's it like to his face? Yeah,
like he's lucking like a chart trash talk from the crowd. Yeah.
Also fully like, I'm sick of this. I'm sick of of of Twitter
become in real life because people did not act like this before that. I
mean they there were people that did, but they got the carl. Do
you think that this this Twitter coming to real life just has to do with
they're just not being enough ass kickings anymore. That's it because that dude only
said that because he knows that Russ technically he had a security too, like
he like Russ had security, which I'm also like, your stadium's broken.
If you're needing to put security. A clarification on the stadium thing. There's
apparently multiple ways to enter the visiting locker room and this way, well,
this way through half court that goes through the thing. Whatever you're it's it's
not it's not the main entrance to the visiting matt room. It's like I
guess according to Miriam Swanson, fabulous. Shout yeah, shout out Miriam.
Check out her work as he registered. Uh, the shortcut with something that
players got accustomed to doing during the COVID times because it's just a faster way
the visiting locker room. I think you go through half quarter or something.
Um. But so that's not gonna be a thing anymore. But regardless,
like the owners, should isn't on the players and shouldn't be on the players.
They have to walk, they work. So I messed up by I
never get into comment sections on Instagram. I'm not I'm not a guy.
You're even have a Twitter. I do have a Twitter. Twitter. I
do not have a Twitter. I do not could be beef and what's going
on? Man? That's because that's I hate that shit. I hate it
so much. And but I did get into it into a shade room comments
section. Oh that's not worse than Twitter. That's not worse than Twitter.
It only I got a few reply. I got like fifty replies because because
I'm verified, it goes up to the top. Yeah that's true. But
I so people were replying. Most people were on my side because they're somewhat
logical, and I just said that BA doesn't see again, I we were
protecting his players, like from from stupid fans. That's a that's bad.
And then people were like he the argument that somebody gets paid. And let
me just say this, Um, I don't care what player it is except
Joe Ingles, but other than that, no player in the NBA, none
even ones that I don't like. I don't like Luca Dodges. He shouldn't
have to go through it. No player in the NBA should have to deal
with a human being insulting them that is in within earshot, within a within
a within a distance. That the yes, no players should have to deal
with that, that play that that fans should be immediately removed, immediately banned.
When I went to watch a game at Barclays, we were down in
the in the little VIP shout out to my boy Charlie Widows who and hey,
we love Charlie Sandro. He hooked me up with a with a nice
little uh situation at the Brooklyn nets h and we got to stand there when
the players ran out. The security was damn deep. There was a standing
and they were like stand here, Yeah, if you say anything, now
you're out y'all can y'all can y'all can say what's up? Y'all can say
hey, oh hip hop a ray oh, but you can if you say
anything negative, you're out. And I think that's a KD thing, Like
I bet you KD was like if they're gonna stand there, don't let if
they can only say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ye thing when you
look back at that guy and said stuck mine, I mean, and that
was but that's that's a time where it's like, I don't understand this.
I stopped my thought. I have to go back and say this because I'm
gonna say this till I'm blue in the face. Just because these people make
a certain amount of money does not mean they should be subjected to assault.
That is a dumb piece of logic. If you agree with that, you
are a dumbass person that needs to be institutionalized. I do not believe in
like, oh, this person makes more money than me, so I should
be able to insult it. Well, there's a lot of people making a
lot more money than professional athletes. We should be assaulting them. But you
don't. Really, we don't get the access like I just but the access
is exactly the problem, Like they're selling these tickets for so much money because
you're in close proximity to players, and that's what leads to this in an
idealistic world. I agree, like it should never happen. It's just hard
to regulate everything out there because so many people are saying shit they I think.
I think you're right, though, they just have to like it just
has to be a band like Rust needs to go to this guy's work and
do the Seinfeld and just heckle him at whatever used car dealership this guy works
at, or real dirt it is Arizona. I know it's a diverse economy
between cars and real estate and golf clubs or whatever they do down there.
I would love to happen. They never want to have that argument though I
literally asked the guy, was like, because the guy responds to me like,
it's freedom of speech. Rush shouldn't be solved, and that's not how
freedom of speech works. Man, he's at his job. If you go
if you go into somebody's job and you start yelling insults at them and say
freedom of speech, you will be arrested. I worked at du Bobby Burger
at the Grove. We have people yelling us all the time and it was
not freedom of speech. Yeah, I'm calling the cops. Like like,
especially, I don't think people realize and on Twitter for some reason, it's
like, if I feel threatened and you're in my personal space, I have
the option to defend myself, going to send myself yes and and that.
So it ain't just like because what they say is rushing to get rust that
guy wants him to hit him because we can get sued. I'm like,
there is lawsuits that are that deal with stuff like that. But also,
if you're in my personal space and you are assaulting me verbally assaulting, ain't
harassing me. I have the option to defend myself and that guy can be
physical and I am within my rights to do. Guy, don't talk about
it. Be about it, like, don't talk about it about that I
feel threatened. I'm gonna beat your ass. Now, what about this?
If you want to say disparaging things, you can sign a waiver saying that
any athlete is not legally responsible for anything that happening about that life. Waiver.
Yeah, literally name for it. If you're entering a place that is
close to to be able to interact with players, you should be able to
sign a waiver. This is if you say something crazy, I'm not gonna
stop them, and the league is not responsible because you're signed this contract the
f A A f O waiver. Fuck around and find out waiver is what
the hell do you get off? Even if, honestly, as much as
I hate Joe Ingles, if that man walked past me today, are at
Creation or waiting for and I'm waiting. I'm sitting there waiting for Terrence eating
some uh some coconut, the balls or whatever I don't even know. Yeah,
yeah, And and Joe Eagles walks in. I'm gonna give him a
dirty look, but I'm not gonna say nothing crazy to him because he's six
eight in the NBA and I don't give a shit about the Australian Park.
But I uh that that is overhyped like ad versus yo. But I um,
but I but I I'm just him being a pro athlete that works out
at a high level every day. I'm not gonna get the gumption that I'm
gonna whoop his ass. And I'm a person who can whoop people's asses.
Right, You're not gonna spend the block in creation, which would not see.
But spending the block is a different thing. I can say that.
I can't say that on that one off fan player interaction though. This is
why Charles Barkley says, like every show on TNT, he threw a guy
through a glass window when he was a player, right, but he's spent
on a little girl. Uh hey, she was a real bitch. People.
But he says before every game, one fan should be able to come
out and get their ass flipped at half court by a player because that was
set an example to everyone else who wanted to be a heck of that night.
Yeah, and also, oh man, I just forgot something. Oh
E forty and Sacramento. He forty goes to every Warriors game and and a
lot of the games on the road he comes down, especially to California Ones.
He's gonna go to the Lakers, he's gonna go to Clippers, he's
gonna go to Sacramento when they play. Like, do you really think that
E forty instigated a fight with a fan? Coney, he was being crazy
respectful. He's wearing all black, like he wasn't even wearing like his usual
Warriors gear, which isn't he was wearing fucking Rick Berry's skin doesn't matter what
it doesn't matter what he's wearing. He's not gonna instigate no fight with no
fan. He's a rapper, he's like, he's got like, he's not
gonna instigate no fight with nobody. That dude was clearly being an asshole.
He forty is the one that's being caught. Man, It's just it's just
bad. It's just bad managing by the NBA. It's bad on the NBA.
And honestly, if the in between this and the refereeing, uh,
and if the Lakers make the finals this year, I'm I'm done. I'm
done. Next season, I'm done. I'm out. I'm out. Carl
try maybe Okay, who are so Game two predictions? Are we all predicting
a win? Adam? Are you predicting a win? I mean, the
Clippers could be playing the Dream Team and I'd be predicting a win. But
uh, I don't think it's gonna be an easy game. But I am
going to adjust from what I said before the series, which is they gotta
win one of these games that's gonna be close in the first two games in
Phoenix, and the other likely could be a Phoenix Suns blowout. I don't
know if it's gonna be. The Clippers didn't give them their best shot and
they still won in Game one. They have other ways to beat them still,
even if Kawhi doesn't have thirty eight, if he has thirty on twenty
two shots and isn't having the most efficient nights, still, overall they can
win that game with other guys stepping up, especially Big two. All right,
well, are the Clippers winning game too? I'm feeling in irrationally confident
about this. I would love nothing more than to go back into Phoenix and
walk out with another win. Hello, yeah, Carl, are the Clippers
winning Game two and taking a commanding Seriously? Absolutely? Hell yeah, we're
winning the game. We're winning this game. We're winning this game. Lock
it in and then get ready to be real disappointed. Game three, Carl,
are you going? Are you going to any of the home games?
I do have a ticket. I do not believe I can go. I
have a I have an engagement. So if if you three want to fight
for the ticket, I'm already going media. Oh excuse me, oh hire
up. They put me in the elevator sometimes, so one O six I
might take a one o six and Carl, I know that you do live
by yourself, which is a luxury here in Los Angeles. But do I
see the Clippers curse in your apartment behind you? Have you here right now?
Hello? Boys? Oh he's back, curse. It was almost a
really good season for you. The Clippers pulled it out, they made the
playoffs. Well, how are you feeling? How are you feeling about games?
Right? You know what? I messed up. I messed up completely.
I went to brunch as well, and I watched the game, and
I got way too drunk, and I was too drunk to curse the guys
to do what I do, to do what I do best. I slept
right through the game. And have you gotten any talk from your friends about
needing to slow it down? And all? No? Of course not,
of course not. They say I should speed it up. They love the
curse on the sauce eight more mimosas. So what I did? I woke
up. I woke up. The game was almost over. There was nothing
else I could do. I gave him a little bit of a razzle dazzle
in the third quarter, but other than that, there was nothing else I
could do. And so I decided to go to the movies with Carl and
make sure that popcorn holes got stuck in his gums. Well, Curse,
I hope. I hope you're done this year. I hope it's finished this
year. I don't think you're going to move into it. I don't think
that will happen, but I might take that off. As long as our
good buddy Donald Sterling is alive, I will be here. That is very
truewhere, So enjoy your win. Perhaps in game two. Maybe I'll miss
that one too. I have a date, but I will be there for
the home game. Who are you going on a date with? Curse?
What's yeah? What app are you on? Mother Teresa? Well, Curse,
