I'm Adam oslind eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight 12 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:03.480 seven seven five zero eleven fifty ends. While we have a moment, let's 13 00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:08.480 pause ten seconds for station identification. Here on the Patriot AMM fifty, this 14 00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:17.879 is La Clippers Basketball AM eleven fifty KIV, Los Angeles, an iHeart radio 15 00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:22.439 station. Coming up, you will hear from doc rivers postgame, Sweet Lou 16 00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.439 Williams, and of course we'll get to your phone calls and jobon Buha of 17 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.359 the Athletic we'll be here now. First of all, I do want to 18 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.040 tip my cap to Luca don Chiche because that was one of the best performances 19 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.599 I've ever seen in the history of the NBA. It's a first round series 20 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.599 we've been talking about behind the scenes here me and Sam Zia. Is this 21 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.200 Isaiah Thomas playing on one leg against Los Angeles Lakers in the finals? Not 22 00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:52.519 exactly, but Luka Doncic was playing through pain and put up forty three points, 23 00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:57.840 seventeen rebounds, and thirteen assists on eighteen of thirty one shooting and hit 24 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.719 every big shot late in this game, including the buzzer beating three pointer from 25 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:09.039 twenty seven feet out with no time remaining in ot and the Clippers were up 26 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:14.800 by twenty one at one point in this game, and I think partly you 27 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:17.159 want to say that it was lost in the first half when they gave up 28 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:21.759 that lead right at the end of the second quarter and they were only up 29 00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:28.560 by eight going into the half, and then the Clippers were miserable from the 30 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.879 floor coming out of the gates in that third quarter. They put up just 31 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.360 nineteen points in the third quarter. Fourteen of those points were scored by Kawhi 32 00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:42.039 Leonard and Sweetleew Williams. They were great. Sweetiew Williams ties his playoff career 33 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:45.639 high of thirty six points, had twenty two of those in the second half. 34 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.960 But nobody else was stepping up. And yes, again Paul George, 35 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.879 who has been in the struggle, continues to struggle from the field. When 36 00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:00.000 three of fourteen is ten of forty four in the last three games in this 37 00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:06.439 series. Inexplicably, it's hard to understand. He only had nine points in 38 00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.080 the game, had seven of those points in the first quarter. At one 39 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:15.120 point, he went thirty two minutes of on court time between scoring from the 40 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:21.960 start of the first quarter to a layup he had in ot It has to 41 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.879 be mental right now. If he's physically okay, then something else is going 42 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:31.400 on. And the narrative that you know, I thought was necessarily false was 43 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:37.039 I was pretty sure it was a false narrative going into the playoffs about playoff 44 00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:43.319 p But sometimes when the media keeps talking about things, and Paul George did 45 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:47.800 engage on Instagram, so he had been hearing the same stuff. When the 46 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:53.520 media starts getting on you like this, it can start to build the pressure 47 00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:59.400 on your shoulders. And I think that's what's happened to Paul George. That's 48 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.800 the only way to explain this. If he's healthy right now. Yes, 49 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.360 he had eight rebounds, but one of seven from three, three or fourteen 50 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:12.520 from the field. It can't just all be on Kawhi Leonard and sweet Low 51 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.079 Williams in this game. And Marcus Morse, who'd also stepped up big in 52 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.879 the fourth quarter and in ot with that three pointer to put the Clippers up 53 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:26.600 before Luca Donchez would hit that ridiculous three pointers to win the game. Something's 54 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.439 going on with PG thirteen, and it reminds me of what happened to Lebron 55 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.920 James a little bit in the twenty eleven NBA Finals. There had been this 56 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:40.639 running narrative that I didn't buy because he had hit game winners before. LBJ 57 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.319 throughout his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers. In the playoffs, did it twice 58 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.560 against the Washington Wizards, but people said, well, he's deferring too much, 59 00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:54.399 he's passing too much, he's not mj Well. At this point in 60 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.959 his career, he actually has more game winners in the playoffs than Michael Jordan. 61 00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:02.560 But at that time, playing next to Dwayne Wade in the Miami Heat 62 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:09.000 that first year with the heatles, there was a lot of pressure on him, 63 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:15.439 and guys and media folks and the talking heads and the pundits out there, 64 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:20.600 we're going after him. And eventually in those twenty eleven finals, he 65 00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:26.879 broke and he rebuilt his game, got better in the post after that, 66 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.680 and won the championship the very next year. But I think Paul George is 67 00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.639 hearing not even whispers, not even murmurs. You're hearing it all over the 68 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.439 place. You're seeing it on social media, everybody's talking about it on every 69 00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:42.959 talk show. I'm having to talk about it because I don't know any other 70 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.839 way to explain what's happened with Paul George the last three games. In Game 71 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.160 one, he had twenty seven points and the biggest shot of the game. 72 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:57.360 And now it looks like he's having issues mentally out there on the court, 73 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:02.199 playing next to Kawhi Leonard, who normally takes the pressure off guys, and 74 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:08.560 he has been He's been great he's averaged thirty three points per game so far 75 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:13.240 in this series. He has set records. He had thirty two points and 76 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.959 nine rebounds and four assists. When the Clippers were able to get stops at 77 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:23.040 times late in this game, it was Kawhi Leonard making it happen. But 78 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:28.720 they need PG thirteen to break out of this shooting slump. They need him 79 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:30.319 in the worst way right now, because now this series is tied up at 80 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.279 two games apiece, and you're in a dogfight with a team that's not even 81 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:39.759 supposed to be here in a game where Porzingis didn't even play. But Luca 82 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:45.399 don Chich is that special. We knew that he was a basketball prodigy, 83 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:49.079 but now in the playoffs, he's showing he's not afraid of the moment to 84 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:54.720 do this. When he was questionable coming into the game on that left ankle 85 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:59.160 that made him leave Game three with nine minutes left in the fourth quarter after 86 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:01.439 he tried to play through it, well, he played through it all right 87 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.120 tonight. He was the best player on the court forty three points and forty 88 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:12.720 six minutes and hits the dagger game winning three pointer. Reggie Jackson was out 89 00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.879 there on him. There were three points seven seconds left, and I thought 90 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:23.560 the Los Angeles Clippers did the right thing in fouling beforehand to give the Mavericks 91 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.839 even less time, and they found quick enough for nobody to try to throw 92 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:32.079 their hands up and get to the line. But for Luca Dontchis to make 93 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:38.800 that shot in that moment, it's not a coming out party, but it's 94 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:44.920 establishing himself as one of the best playoff performers now as well. That's what 95 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.360 it's done for his career. He's been so good all series long. I 96 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:53.160 had my doubts about this Dallas Mavericks offense and whether or not it would translate 97 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:59.439 well in the playoffs. It has after Game one at least, and the 98 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:05.920 Clippers are in a position now where the Boston Celtics were in two thousand and 99 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:13.120 eight. This happened to the Boston three party with KG, with Ray Allen, 100 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.480 with Paul Pierce, and then Rondo to a degree, who was a 101 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.079 young player at that time, but he obviously played big for them. But 102 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.839 they've made those moves in the off season and all these expectations were heaped upon 103 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.680 them, and they ended up going seven games in that first round against the 104 00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:33.519 Atlanta Hawks and Mike Bibby, and eventually that adversity turned out to be a 105 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:39.200 good thing. And I'm hoping the same thing here happens for the Clippers because 106 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.919 they're in a battle. We don't know yet if christat Porzingis is coming back 107 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:48.120 in Game five on Tuesday, but they have all the confidence in the world. 108 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.840 When you come back down twenty one and then win in ot on a 109 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:56.639 shot from your leader, you're brimming with confidence. It's oozing out of you. 110 00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.559 And it's not even just that Luca don was hitting big shots. I 111 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.000 mean Tim Hardaway Junior had twenty one points, stray Burke had twenty five. 112 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.559 Seth Curry had seven points on the first couple of minutes of the fourth quarter. 113 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.840 He finishes with fifteen. He's been torching the Clippers when six of nine 114 00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:22.080 from the floor, stray Burke was ten of fourteen. But eventually, can 115 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:28.480 this help forge that championship mentality for the Clippers? I think so. Sometimes 116 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.120 you have to go through stuff like this early on in the playoffs. And 117 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.440 that's why I referenced that two thousand and eight Boston Celtics team because they would 118 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.600 go on to win it all and I think they actually would have three pet 119 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.279 if KG didn't tear up his knee, But anyways, that's neither here nor 120 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.759 there. Kawhi Leonard was still great. Lou Williams, I mean, the 121 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.919 underground goat, going mainstream when they needed him most. He had thirteen points 122 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.879 on the fourth quarter. They don't even get into overtime without him picking it 123 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:03.200 up like that. And he's really good throughout this series, fifty percent from 124 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:09.360 the floor, forty percent from three, but not enough when Luca don Chi 125 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.480 and the Dallas Mavericks are able to grab momentum down twenty one in the first 126 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.840 half and then flip things so quickly in that third quarter. The Clippers were 127 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.279 up by eight to start the third, They're down by eight to finish that 128 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.759 quarter. And it says something that they were able to come back down twelve 129 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.399 multiple times in the fourth quarter, and that they had the lead after that 130 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.080 huge shot from Marcus Morris who was in foul trouble and hadn't hit anything until 131 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:41.879 the fourth started. But now they're in a battle. This is a fight. 132 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.480 This is going to be a longer series than I think most people expected. 133 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.600 Whether the Clippers come out the winner, winners, or not, and 134 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:58.080 there's work to be done. But to lose a game like that, I 135 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.960 think this locker room strong enough for not to be too demoralizing, because you 136 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.360 know, Kawhi Leonard is so even keel. But Paul George has to be 137 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.000 able to snap out of this. I have faith he will. I've brought 138 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:18.559 up this example before. Kyle Lowry has struggled in the playoffs mightily until Kawhi 139 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.200 Leonard was with him. I think Kawhi is going to give confidence to Paul 140 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.840 George, but it has to start in Game five. It's going to be 141 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.480 Yes, they can win the series, just like Kawhi Leonard said, without 142 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:37.039 PG thirteen shooting well, but it makes it that much tougher and puts you 143 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:41.799 in more of an uphill battle when your other superstar is not scoring the way 144 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.639 we've been accustomed to seeing him score, and he was playing some of his 145 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.360 best basketball as soon as the bubble started back up. All right, we'll 146 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.000 take a quick break here. Eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight 147 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:58.559 seven seven five two zero eleven fifty is the full number the Clippers lose on 148 00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.360 a Luca don Chich game three pointer in overtime. With the final score one 149 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:05.960 thirty five to one thirty three. This series is tied up at two games 150 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:11.200 apiece. Coming up, he'll hear from Doc Rivers and Sweet Low Williams and 151 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:13.720 we'll get to your phone calls or get to me at follow Adam A on 152 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:22.039 Twitter. This is Clippers Talk here on the Patriot Aven. Finnie Smith's max, 153 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.200 I've always left hand looking for Curry now gets it to dot it forty 154 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.840 feet for the basket. Dotche's with a crossover step back, all left, 155 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:33.799 point three. This is for the win. He got it to go for 156 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:39.240 the second time in the Bubble. The Clippers lose on a step back buzzer 157 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.039 beater. First it was Devin Booker and the Suns. Second it's Luca Donchich 158 00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:48.639 who finishes with forty three points, and the Clippers lose a devastating Game four 159 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:54.320 in the Bubble. Noah Ego on the call there. The Clippers lose in 160 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:58.360 ot one thirty five to one thirty three on that three pointer made by Luca 161 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.200 Dontchich, who finished with forty three points, seventeen rebounds, and thirteen assists 162 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:09.279 in this first round series is tied up at two. Coming up, you'll 163 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:11.399 hear from Doc Rivers in just a little bit, But I do want to 164 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:18.639 get to Carlos in Bellflower, Bellower, Carlos, Yeah, I talk. 165 00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.639 It's a great game. Even though he didn't come by on the top. 166 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.279 We just still gotta believe in PG criticism aside, he's you know, he's 167 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:30.240 struggling. He stole our guy, He's gonna do it for us. Where 168 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:35.679 we can criticize is the coaching staff. They did a terrible job working with 169 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.279 the switches that Carlisle was putting out in front of it. Never adjusted to 170 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:45.320 the switches at the end of a regulation time, never really drew up a 171 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:48.480 play that would give him an advantage. It was just a nice elation, 172 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.360 nice solicition. Dribble, Uh stayed away near the three point nine Carlos, 173 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:58.240 Carlos, what about the play drawn up for Marcus Morris from that was already 174 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.799 We didn't need that if he draws it up in regulations, right, Okay, 175 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:07.320 So they're not going to give me any credit there down today, all 176 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:11.279 right, Carlos. I appreciate the phone call eight seven seven five two zero 177 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.039 eleven fifty. There were a lot of things that went wrong in this game. 178 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:18.120 I'm not just gonna put it on Doc Rivers and the coaching staff, 179 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.440 because as I mentioned, they did a lot of things right too. But 180 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.440 when you give up a twenty one point lead and you lose an ot in 181 00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:31.360 this fashion in a critical game where the Clippers could have had a strangle hold 182 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.759 on this series and go up three games to one, there's gonna be criticism. 183 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:41.320 There's gonna be some frustration from the fans. I get it. I'm 184 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:45.320 there with you a little bit. It's hard to explain because the Clippers are 185 00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:52.200 normally the team that comes back, but they were in control early on their 186 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:56.279 defense, their energy, their intensity to start the game was right where you 187 00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:01.200 wanted it. Dallas only had eleven point points in the first six minutes of 188 00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:07.919 the game. The Clippers were up double digits early on, and then in 189 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.279 the last eighteen minutes of the first half, Dallas scores forty seven points. 190 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:16.759 That was a huge swing because the Clippers go from being up twenty one to 191 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.679 being up just eight going into the half, and there's some doubt there and 192 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:24.720 some confidence coming from the Dallas Mavericks that they know they can battle back. 193 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:30.360 Eight points is nothing for the best offense in NPA history. All right, 194 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.120 let's hear from Doc Rivers post game. We'll get back to your phone calls 195 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:37.639 eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven 196 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.919 fifty. But here was Doc Rivers post game after the Clippers lose game five 197 00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:45.600 in ot one thirty five to one thirty three, just had the big lead. 198 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.960 Obviously they made the big run. How much did you think that shocked 199 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.279 him or shocked you guys? Are just took him out emotionally? I think 200 00:15:54.320 --> 00:16:00.399 probably on the above. But honestly, I thought he got to lead and 201 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.879 stop playing and give them credit. They kept playing. You know, I 202 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.399 thought that at the end of the second the whole second quarter, they'll make 203 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:10.440 it a round. Getting back in the game, change the whole complexity of 204 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:15.000 the game. But honestly, I thought we were very emotionally weak tonight, 205 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:22.120 to be honest, And that's question is gonna come from Andrew. Why do 206 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:25.440 you think that is that they're mostly weak? I mean, this team has 207 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:29.080 been geared towards the playoffs obviously all year, and if I knew that, 208 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:33.080 I would be Sigmund Freud. But at the end of the day, you 209 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:36.000 know, we're up twenty and we're getting technical files, you know, things 210 00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:41.519 like that. Just get the team juice. You know, we're just throughout. 211 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.720 I've been saying this for three games now. We're just we're so much 212 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:51.279 better than what we're playing. But honestly, give Dallas credit, like they 213 00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:55.360 could threw it in, we'll get up twenty one. Their their mightus prezingis 214 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:59.600 but they didn't. They just stayed in the game. They just kept playing. 215 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.200 They eat together, they move the ball, and you can see the 216 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.319 difference in the spirits, like they make a run and everybody's excited. You 217 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.960 know, they make a run on us, and we don't. We came 218 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:14.640 in, So that's on all of us. Me too. I gotta get 219 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:19.920 our guys right. Next question's gonna come from Miriam. So obviously this is 220 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:22.880 this is a blow and you're you know, the emotions weren't where you wanted 221 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.279 them for this game. What does it do to you guys emotionally going forward? 222 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.839 Oh, it's we're fine that way. It's the serious is two two. 223 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:34.440 You know, you can make a case it should be three one either 224 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:37.839 way. You can make that case. But at the end of the day, 225 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:45.000 the series is two two. We gotta play better. Listen, defensively 226 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.400 without per zingis they scored one hundred and thirty five points. And we're supposed 227 00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:53.200 to be in the league defensive team right now, We're not. They shout 228 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:57.839 fifty percent from the field tonight, so they make shots. They attacked us 229 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:03.680 off the dribble, he made plays. They remember anything complicated, They're just 230 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.839 standers in the face the beating off the drop. And next question is gonna 231 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:15.279 come from home? Doc? On the telecast, they showed Tres hugging Dontchage 232 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.519 before the game, and Mike Green said that you had spoken to Tres. 233 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:21.519 I was wondering what you thought about what Tres had said to Donage in Game 234 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:26.279 three. I don't know what he said, so I can't answer that. 235 00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:33.200 And next question is gonna come from Jobann? Hey, Doc, I'm curious. 236 00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:37.400 And over time it seemed like they were really targeting Reggie with switching and 237 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.680 stuff. Were you okay with him switching on to him or do you guys 238 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:44.519 wish you had done something differently there? Well, obviously Luca made the shot, 239 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:48.759 right Yobann, So clearly we wish we could have done something else. 240 00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:52.119 But it's only three seconds. Laugh. I thought overall Reggie did pretty well, 241 00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:56.680 but the last play we let him go laugh for a shot. Bottom 242 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:02.799 line is the last play didn't lose the gate for us. It was our 243 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.599 entire play from the second quarter on. It took a few more questions. 244 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:12.119 Next questions I'll come from Jim Alexander. Yeah, Doc, I mean you 245 00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:18.359 mentioned emotionally weak today? Will this? Will this make it easier to get 246 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:25.359 their attention tomorrow at practice and remind them that you can't assume anything in this 247 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:27.880 part of listen. You know in life? You know on the problem with 248 00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:33.160 life is usually you have to learn a lesson first, you know, before 249 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:36.559 you make an adjustment in life. I wish it was the other way, 250 00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:38.920 like you saw it and did it first, and then you never have to 251 00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:42.359 learn the lesson. Uh. But sometimes you don't learn lessons, and so 252 00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:45.880 we'll find that out. You know. The thing is we're not an emotionally 253 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:52.960 we do, but today we were and so it is what it is. 254 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:59.519 And next questions don't come from inside the bubble from Cassidy just sorry on the 255 00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:02.319 emotion of the steam. We have a lot of leaders on you on your 256 00:20:02.359 --> 00:20:04.480 team, and I know you're gonna say it starts with you. But when 257 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:07.799 you look at the makeup of this team, you know, what are you 258 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.440 trying to hear from from your leaders? I think you know, just the 259 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:18.279 two guys that were doing the most positive talk, we we're lou in Kauai 260 00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:23.839 and you know they were saying the right stuff like they were, But everybody's 261 00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:27.920 got to follow that too, and sometimes, uh, you want to hear 262 00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:33.319 it, and sometimes you get inside your head and you don't hear it. 263 00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:37.079 I thought tonight was a night that a lot of messages were not delivered, 264 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:42.960 uh, and include mine. So that is something that as a coach, 265 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.599 I was sick on myself, like I have to make sure the way we're 266 00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.079 supposed to play is delivered, how we're supposed to play is delivered, and 267 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:59.680 that we're doing and especially going to come from Tomer a bit of a two. 268 00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:03.880 Did you just anticipate them switching on the inbounds there, because it looked 269 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:06.839 like Kawhi started out on Luca and then they switch and got ready. Did 270 00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:11.079 you interest get that happening out there? Yeah? I mean you always switch 271 00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:14.279 everything at the end of the clock, but you're supposed to switch to the 272 00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:18.720 nile and we didn't. Like again, we just didn't. We we're switching 273 00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:23.000 allowed their best player against the ball, you know, with three seconds left. 274 00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:27.079 The last two questions, next one is don't come from a camera. 275 00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:34.160 Hey, coach, tough loss. I asked you this before the game. 276 00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:38.559 If you're not gonna do anything special to get Paul George off, what's the 277 00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:44.000 conversation You have to kind of get him comfortable playing like he's supposed to be 278 00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:47.519 able to play. Hey, listen, We're run the same stuff all year, 279 00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:52.839 Paul and George's average twenty five points, so it's not like they're doing 280 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.720 something defensively. You know, We've just got to play with great confidence. 281 00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.559 Paul again, I still believe this. He's gonna be fine. He just 282 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:04.079 has to be more aggressive, more aggressive in the right way, you know. 283 00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:08.160 And and and I think it'll work out for it. We do run 284 00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:11.640 blaze hoim, we do all the other stuff, but we have to get 285 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.920 him more involved. And that's really just running our stuff the way we should 286 00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:22.640 run it. And last question is gonna come from Thomas. Hey, coach, 287 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:27.599 I've heard you speak here about, you know, having great individual defenders 288 00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:30.559 on the team, but not feeling as though the guys are playing great defensively 289 00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:34.039 as a unit. Do you feel like that's what you're seeing in the playoffs 290 00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:37.119 so far? Yeah, I don't. First of all, as an individual, 291 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:41.400 I don't think we've been a great individual defensive team. I think we've 292 00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:45.920 been very passive. I think they've been able to catch the ball wherever they 293 00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.839 wanted to catch the ball. I think they're hitting us first on all the 294 00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:52.519 pick and roads. Give them reded. They are so much more the more 295 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:57.759 physical team and the more aggressive team. It's not even closed. There was 296 00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:03.519 Doc Rivers post game after the Clippers lose in overtime on a Luca don CH's 297 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.000 twenty seven foot step back three pointer, with the Mavericks winning by a final 298 00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:11.519 score one thirty five to one thirty three. Coming up, you'll hear from 299 00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:15.640 jovon Bouha, But first let's go to Jose and Southgate. Hi, Jose, 300 00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.359 you're on Clipper stop without Am Auslin. How are you, hello, 301 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:25.000 Adam Happy Sunday. I've been a Clippers fan for twenty four years, rented, 302 00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:29.640 I'm twenty four years old. But hearing the Clippers looting at twenty one 303 00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:33.200 point lead, there's another thing in the office for that being staid. It 304 00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:37.519 was a good game. That being said, it is Kobe's birthday. The 305 00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:42.440 last people he was mentoring was Quiet Landard, Paul George, and of course 306 00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:47.519 Luca. It's the Clippers. It's it's only right. It's on his birthday. 307 00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:51.039 Luca hits that sharp man. Come on, Clip Bay Clippers fan, 308 00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:52.200 let's go, baby. You know we got it. You know we got 309 00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:55.559 it. We're gonna win the series. Thank you, Adam, thank you, 310 00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:59.519 Noah, we love you. Let's go baby, all right, Jose, 311 00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:03.079 thank you for the phone call and some positivity there at the end. 312 00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:06.680 Yes, I believe Kobe Bryant e late Kobe Bryant would have been forty two. 313 00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:11.599 Today. Clippers lose one thirty five to one thirty three to the Dallas 314 00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.440 Mavericks in ot and this series is tied up at two games apiece. Coming 315 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.640 up, Jovon Buja of the Athletic we'll be here and we'll get to more 316 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:22.839 of your phone calls.

They're saying his team was emotionally 318 00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:37.039 weak today. That's uncharacteristic for this Clippers team. We've seen them come up 319 00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:41.559 huge so many times before, and this time they were on the other end 320 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:45.640 of a huge comeback up twenty one, and Doc Rivers said it as well. 321 00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:51.559 The game was lost early in that second quarter. They let go of 322 00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:56.480 the rope a little bit. They had a chance to put it away and 323 00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.160 they weren't able to do so, and instead Luka Donschich pushed the game him 324 00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:04.440 away with an unbelievable three pointer on the Clippers. All right, coming up 325 00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:15.079 more Clipper Stalk here on the Patriot Am eleven fifty. The Clippers lose to 326 00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:22.240 the Luca don Chich and the Dallas Mavericks innot on a step back three pointer 327 00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.000 to win it for Luca, and the final score was one thirty five to 328 00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:30.039 one thirty three in favor of the Dallas Mavericks. Coming up, we live 329 00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:33.440 more postgame audio for you.

But first joining me on the super Secret Guest hotline is Jovan Buja 332 00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:47.599 of The Athletic. He is my favorite writer and reporter on the Clippers. 333 00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:52.400 Jovan, thanks for doing this before we get to the Clippers letting go and 334 00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:57.359 blowing a twenty one point lead. This was one of the most special performances 335 00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:03.119 I've ever seen in NBA history, considering Luca don at twenty one years of 336 00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:06.480 age, had just rolled the ankle in Game three, couldn't even finish that 337 00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:11.640 game off, and instead he finishes off the Clippers in Game four in one 338 00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:15.240 of the most ridiculous stat lines I've ever seen. Put that in context or 339 00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:19.119 put that h put some history to what Luka Dontech was able to do. 340 00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:26.079 I mean, he's just special, right like you know, you just you 341 00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:30.240 look at his performance overall, and what he's doing is special for anybody. 342 00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:32.680 But then you factor in that he's twenty one years old. I mean, 343 00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:36.359 you could really make the case he's the best twenty one year old in NBA 344 00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:41.839 history. And that's including guys we've seen like Lebron James and cream up Old 345 00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:45.640 Jabbar and Tim Duncan and different guys that have come in and been All Star 346 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:49.640 all NBA guys from day one. I mean, Luca is as good, 347 00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:53.000 if not better than any of those guys. And to do what he did 348 00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:56.759 today, you know, with that ankle injury, that he had been kind 349 00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:00.960 of dealing with for a bit with no Christo Porzingis, which I thought was 350 00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:04.599 huge. Like to be honest, I thought Chris Stops had been more of 351 00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:08.240 the matchup problem for the Clippers than even Luca had, just because he's seven 352 00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:11.319 foot three. The Clippers have been putting a lot of wings on him. 353 00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:15.400 Who you know in six eight six nine guys versus seven foot three guy, 354 00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:19.599 you know, that's the six seven inch difference, and Chris Stops Porzingis basically 355 00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:22.839 if he makes the shot or not, you know, he's getting a shot 356 00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.920 off, and he can launch up to thirty feet you know, you know, 357 00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:30.839 several feet beyond the arc. So I thought Porzingis, especially with his 358 00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:34.559 Game three performance, had been the bigger matchup issue for the Clippers. So 359 00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:37.799 for him to be out and for Luca to just put this team on his 360 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:41.799 back, I mean, again, like you said forty three, seventeen and 361 00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.079 thirteen, you know, I thought just made big play after big play. 362 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:49.720 I mean, the Mavericks have shown that they can kind of hold water without 363 00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:52.160 him, and then you know, I've actually been better without him on the 364 00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.200 floor in the series. But you know, obviously the last few minutes of 365 00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.759 the fourth and all of overtime, Like it was just him running and picking 366 00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:04.400 rolls and ISOs and attacking different guys and he's just really special. Like, 367 00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:07.240 you know, the Clippers are going up against one of the best players in 368 00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:11.720 the league, and I think that's what's made this series so tough so far. 369 00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:15.359 How were they able to get that matchup at the end of the game 370 00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:21.359 with three point seven seconds left, Well, the clip, I mean, 371 00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:25.039 they set a screen for Luca and the Clippers switched it. Doc said after 372 00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:30.039 the game that he had hoped the Clippers wouldn't have switched that, but if 373 00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.319 they were going to switch that, that they had denied Luca. Maybe even 374 00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:36.640 sent a trap at him to kind of force him to dribble back towards half 375 00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:38.960 court and maybe he breaks free anyway and gets a shot up. But at 376 00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:44.119 least you put him under some pressure so some of arrests and then gotten him 377 00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:48.079 away from the three point line because he was pretty easily able to just catch 378 00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:51.319 the ball, you know, dribble, take a step back and make that 379 00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:53.400 shot. Credit to him for making that. I mean, that's a tough 380 00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:56.680 shot. We saw him earlier in the game. Airball two or three of 381 00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.359 those. You know, he is only a thirty two percent three point shooters, 382 00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:03.160 so it's not like this guy's Steph Curry or Dame Lillard out there. 383 00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.640 But at the same time, he made the shot and they won the game. 384 00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:11.119 You know, the Mavericks were very strategic, and so the Clippers finally 385 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:17.319 put Kauai on Luca. He had been kind of the screener defenders switching onto 386 00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:21.640 Luca for most of the past couple of games to put him on the ball, 387 00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:25.759 and Dallas wisely targeted guys like Lou Williams Reggie Jackson who are just a 388 00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:29.039 lot smaller than Luca, and anytime he was able to get those guys on 389 00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:30.880 him, he was usually able to score, get a good look, force 390 00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:34.519 a rotation, kick it to a shooter or something like that. So Luca 391 00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:38.000 was very surgical today, you know, Dallas was very surgical and how they 392 00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:45.000 attacked the Clippers defense and they ended up winning. And looking for answers to 393 00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:49.079 what's happened to PG. Thirteen the last three games. If it's not physical, 394 00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:52.960 it has to be mental right now, it has to be in his 395 00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:56.319 head, right I don't know any other way to explain it. Yeah, 396 00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:03.480 I mean, I don't like playing armchair psychologists, but do you think especially 397 00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.440 more in in Game three. But I think it actually kind of you know, 398 00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:12.319 translated into Game four a bit where you saw just you know, possessions 399 00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:17.480 where he would just not get the ball or would simply just get the ball 400 00:30:17.519 --> 00:30:18.799 and swing it to the next guy. And it was like, you know, 401 00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:23.240 we had seen PG playing I felt his best basketball the season in the 402 00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:26.480 bubble, and you looked at the shooting numbers, you looked at the scoring. 403 00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:32.160 He talked about how much better he felt with the time offers, shoulders 404 00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:34.480 and how you know he was finally done with his shoulder rehab. I think 405 00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:38.519 he was shooting around like fifty two percent on threes heading into the postseason and 406 00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:44.000 had a pretty solid Game one, and since then is ten for forty seven. 407 00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.559 You know, I think it scored uh, you know, averaging around 408 00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.880 eleven points or so during that stretch, like he has really struggled. And 409 00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:57.400 I mean I think two things where the Clippers will will remedy all issues. 410 00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:00.200 You know, there are some ex and those things we can get into if 411 00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:04.039 you want to, But I think two macro things are they need Pat Beverley 412 00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:07.480 back and they need Paul George back, you know, the real Paul George. 413 00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:12.279 And if Paul's back to being his twenty five and night self, shooting 414 00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:15.839 the ball doesn't have to be shooting the ball great, but shooting the ball 415 00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:18.799 decently, getting more looks up, getting better looks up. I think, 416 00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:22.480 you know that changes this game. And I think Pat Beverley, I mean, 417 00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:26.799 I think the defensive drop off from Pat Beverley to a Lou Williams or 418 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:30.799 Reggie Jackson is significant, and that is a position, you know, you 419 00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:33.599 kind of go down the line. The Clippers have different guys that could step 420 00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:37.319 in defensively and replace other guys. The point guard spot has kind of been 421 00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.559 that one spot that they don't have that And I think missing Pat, especially 422 00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.400 in a game like today, I think he really could have swung things with 423 00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:49.759 his defense to shooting, his energy, just his you know, ability to 424 00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:53.640 make the intangible plays. So I think, obviously you can't control when Pat 425 00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:56.400 comes back. It's just a matter of when he's healthy. And Paul, 426 00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:00.000 as you said, like he's getting a lot of good looks, he's just 427 00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.319 missing them. Some guys go through shooting stumps at the wrong time. But 428 00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:06.640 I would like to see Paul get going to the basketball, and he said 429 00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:08.519 that post game, he was like, I gotta get closer to the basket. 430 00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:13.000 I gotta get going, get a few early buckets in the paint, 431 00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:15.480 get more comfortable, and then start shooting from the perimeter. But you know, 432 00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:19.960 he's been kind of doing the reverse of missing a bunch of perimeter shots 433 00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:23.359 then trying to go to the basket when he's already cold. So I mean, 434 00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:28.480 I gotta give PG credit. He's owning up to him not playing well. 435 00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:31.839 He's not backing away from it, and I think you should see a 436 00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:36.359 better version of him in Game five, and he made a layup with two 437 00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:42.559 minutes left in the game in overtime and then unbelievably missed one the next possession 438 00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:45.799 because I was thinking the same thing. The only way he can get out 439 00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:49.119 of this, it starts by being more aggressive, by being more assertive out 440 00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:52.880 there. And he went about thirty two minutes in this game between scores, 441 00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:57.799 and he's in a struggle right now. But I'm with you. I think 442 00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:00.319 he can get out of this, and it is about him and getting hopefully 443 00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:05.279 Patrick Beverly back. But when you're up by twenty one, they had plenty 444 00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:09.160 of opportunities to put that game away really in the second quarter. Because I'm 445 00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:14.920 getting blown up by this on Twitter, and this is the obligatory question of 446 00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:19.119 we get almost every show. But did the Visa Zoo boss play enough in 447 00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:23.839 that game for you? No? And you know that that was a surprise 448 00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:30.400 for me because I felt Doc to me might have coached his best game of 449 00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:34.599 the season in Game three. I thought, you know, I wrote about 450 00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:38.880 it for The Athletic. I thought the decision to start Landry Shammitt was huge 451 00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:42.680 with just the way Landry played with the starters. I mean, he had 452 00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:45.200 eighteen points, is high in the bubble, and I thought probably played his 453 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:52.200 best game of the season overall. The defensive adjustments they made of pre switching 454 00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:55.480 screens that you know, screen and roll actions with the Mavericks are running and 455 00:33:55.720 --> 00:34:00.400 getting Zoo out of the action because Dallas has really tried could do just because 456 00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:05.240 he's a seven footer and not as quick as as a Luco or Trey Burke 457 00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:07.759 or whoever. They've really gone at him in the pick and roll. And 458 00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:10.679 then the Clippers made some really good adjustments and I thought over all the rotation 459 00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:15.320 was just you know, Zoo played a lot, Marcus like it was just 460 00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:19.559 to me felt like the right guys were playing based on how they were performing. 461 00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:22.599 And today, to me, it was a little bit of a step 462 00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:28.920 back, you know, And I felt Zoo played as well, you know, 463 00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:30.480 as he did in game three. I mean he had he had fifteen 464 00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:34.840 and four and just twenty two minutes. I don't remember his exact minutes in 465 00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:37.519 game three, but I think it was around twenty eight thirty. And I 466 00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:40.960 mean, look, the Clippers ended up going small, which I get. 467 00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:45.440 I thought it actually worked pretty well. Marcus at the five has been a 468 00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:49.519 dangerous lineup for them so far in the seeding games in the playoffs, But 469 00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:52.719 I do think those earlier minutes, I think it's fine to go small. 470 00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.880 That's how Doc wants to close the game. To me, it's the earlier 471 00:34:54.920 --> 00:35:00.239 minute of Zoo has been the best center to me, and it's not been 472 00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:04.320 close. And he's matched up well with Bomon, he's matched up well with 473 00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:07.840 Maxi Kleban. Really the one guy he has not matched up that well with 474 00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:10.760 is Christops Porzingis, and that's just because he's a unicorn and a really hard 475 00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:15.000 matchup for anybody. So Aside from that, it's Cleban Bobon's at center. 476 00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:19.119 I think Zoo has been the best matchup, so I would if Doc wants 477 00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:22.840 to close with a smaller lineup to finish a game, I think Zoo should 478 00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:25.559 be playing a majority of the minutes through the first three quarters. Get somewhere 479 00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:29.480 in that twenty seven to thirty minute range, and then if Doc wants to 480 00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:32.599 downsize, that's fine. But I think look, Doc adjusted very well in 481 00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:37.000 Game three following the Game two loss. I think we should have some faith 482 00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:40.360 in him to adjust in Game five. But I do think the second unit, 483 00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:44.000 to me, has been the biggest issue of They've just been getting lit 484 00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:46.480 up defensively, and I think they're going to figure that out somehow, of 485 00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:49.719 I don't I don't know if you've changed the rotation. I don't know if 486 00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:52.480 you insert a new starter. I'm not really sure what you do there. 487 00:35:52.880 --> 00:35:55.199 But Dallas has really won those second unit minutes, and that to me, 488 00:35:55.440 --> 00:36:00.920 has been a really important factor in this series, and he's been torching them. 489 00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:04.320 Trey Burke was great in this game. Tim Hardaway Junior, I know 490 00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:07.360 he's a starter, but some of the others four Dallas have really stepped up 491 00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:12.199 in this series. He is Jovan Buha of the Athletic. Follow him on 492 00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:16.119 Twitter at job a n b u h A Jovan, thanks so much for 493 00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:20.719 doing this.

He would have forty three points in forty 503 00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:07.719 six minutes and the Dallas Mavericks would win in OT one thirty five to one 504 00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:12.840 thirty three. The series is tied up at two games apiece. Game five, 505 00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:16.000 the all important pivotal Game five, is coming up on Tuesday Night. 506 00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:20.440 More on that, but first I want to get to John in San Diego. 507 00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:22.440 Hi, John, You're on Clippers stock with Adam Maslin. How are 508 00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:28.400 you hey, Adam? I guess could be could be better. All things 509 00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:34.280 get there but for another day. But yeah, Jovan pretty much said everything 510 00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:37.280 I wanted regarding lineups, but to add a little more nuanced in it. 511 00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:44.239 Where I think we lost the lead was when when Bobon came in and Dock 512 00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:47.760 for whatever reason, kept Tres and I think Bobon contribute to like a seven 513 00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:51.480 oh run or something like that that cut the lead down. That's where we 514 00:37:51.559 --> 00:37:55.280 lost the momentum, Like Tres just isn't a good match up on Bobon because 515 00:37:55.280 --> 00:38:00.880 Bobon is too big and and Tres has traditionally done at against lank. And 516 00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:04.280 my other point is in the third quarter, the Clippers settled for a lot 517 00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:07.400 of contested jumpers when we're in the bonus. I think there was like five 518 00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:10.280 last minutes lesson in the third quarter, and we should have just attacked the 519 00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:15.880 rim and try to hunt for free thos Pg looked peasant and just overall like 520 00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:20.760 he knows it, like for the second for being the second max player on 521 00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:23.239 the team, like just this is this has been pretty much unacceptable, Like 522 00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:28.079 he needs to step up and play like the max player that he is. 523 00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:32.400 John appreciate the phone call. Great phone call. Yeah, Paul George apprehensive 524 00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:39.440 out there and not making things happen or reacting instead of being that guy making 525 00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:45.280 the decisions and dictating things offensively, because well, he's that good. He's 526 00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:51.679 a superstar in this league. And he was third in MVP voting last year 527 00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:57.679 and third and Defensive Player of the Year voting, and he even got beat 528 00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:00.760 on the fourth quarter. It was Seth curR going to the basket, I 529 00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:06.400 believe, and Seth Curry is playing with all sorts of confidence right now, 530 00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:09.960 as are the Dallas Mavericks even without Chris stat Porzingis had little ewing theory going 531 00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:15.119 on here. I don't know, because you can't say they're better without the 532 00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:22.360 Unicorn. But they're role players, they're complimentary players. They've been better now. 533 00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:29.400 Lou Williams was fantastic for the Clippers. He almost lou willed them to 534 00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:34.679 victory, and Kawhi Leonard had a shot before overtime that I thought was going 535 00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:39.599 in. Wasn't an easy shot. Tough shot, but it's one Kawhi Leonard 536 00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:45.199 can obviously make, and that would have, you know, won the game 537 00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:50.400 in everybody would have taken that side of relief and said, well, we 538 00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:53.559 lost that twenty one point lead, but we were still able to finish things 539 00:39:53.599 --> 00:39:58.199 off eventually against this Dallas Mavericks team that may have run out of gas in 540 00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:01.920 Game five if they came all the way back just to lose on a game 541 00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:07.039 winning buzzer beater by Kawhi Leonard. But that's not what happened. Now. 542 00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:10.719 Dallas is encouraged. They know they can win this series. They believe they 543 00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:15.199 can win this series. But the Clippers are still the much more talented team, 544 00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:19.320 and Paul George has all the talent in the world. I think he's 545 00:40:19.320 --> 00:40:24.559 gonna show us that in Game five coming up on Tuesday. Mitch in New 546 00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:28.320 Jersey, Mitch, what's up? You're on Clipper stock without him? Awesome? 547 00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:35.000 How's it going to him? Thanks Stigmacole, than what's yeah? And 548 00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:38.599 what? Besides what's wrong with Paul George? I want to see him with 549 00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:43.519 the bench. If they got the best bench, maybe these plays need to 550 00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:46.519 be arrested. Even are the only playing every other day tal to the medal, 551 00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:50.800 I mean to turn up town boys stayed smack and it's kind of like 552 00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:57.159 the coach's gotta push it. Well besides Paul George, they would have been 553 00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:00.119 no overtime. What is going on? I know he's he's been, you 554 00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:06.719 know Lewis's grandmother. So I'm feeling and I'm sure miss your phone was cutting 555 00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:09.519 out there. I'm sorry, brother. Callback On Tuesday, Rick in Los 556 00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:15.679 Angeles, Rick, give me some positivity, please, No, I can't. 557 00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:20.519 Man. Today I'm disgusted. You had a twenty one point lead against 558 00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:23.880 the team that's limped without their second best player, and the Coopers just went 559 00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:28.199 ice cold. And I guess they thought they were just they were just cruise 560 00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:32.519 to a win today when with this team you can never assume anything because Maverick's 561 00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:37.519 offense is so deadly and a twenty one year old who's just coming into his 562 00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:39.559 zone in the first playoffs just just made you look like a jav team. 563 00:41:39.760 --> 00:41:44.280 There's nothing good at of this besides Kawai and Lou Williams a little bit as 564 00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:45.519 Zubak Whu. I feel should be getting some more minutes. I don't know 565 00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:50.079 why Doc not playing him more. The rest of the team was horrendous. 566 00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:54.079 It's just inexcusable. You're one of the best defensive teams in the league against 567 00:41:54.119 --> 00:41:58.719 a team of role players you're beside Luca's gonna do with Lucas, Dude, 568 00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:02.280 he's that great to me. Guys like Cardaway and Trey Burke and Steff Curry 569 00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:06.480 off the bench shouldn't be doing what they're doing. And to give up the 570 00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:07.920 game and you had the chance to put their foot on the neck is that. 571 00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:10.719 There's no excuse for that. And the Clippers are the much superior team, 572 00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:14.960 but I can't assume they're gonna win the series because they haven't shown that. 573 00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:20.760 You've gotten every conceivable break with the with the Porzinga subjection, the Luca 574 00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:24.320 injury, and then now we found out before the game that that Porzinga is 575 00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:28.480 not gonna play, and you're still struggling against his team. So I don't 576 00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:30.519 know what Clipper team is gonna show up, but they're fair to get a 577 00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:34.760 rested and Paul George, you can't you wind your way out of Oklahoma City 578 00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:37.599 win championships. You've got to show up. Man looking across the town with 579 00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:39.920 the other guy, Anthony Davis, he asserted himself after the first game, 580 00:42:40.039 --> 00:42:43.840 is doing it. That's what Paul George need to start doing. Attack the 581 00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:45.880 rins. You're going to get them against a terrible defensive team. There's no 582 00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:49.760 excuse why you should be settling when your SHOT's not falling. Drive to the 583 00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:52.960 bucket, get to the line, get your confidence going. So I want 584 00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:55.079 to see them come up from Game five because Clippers, if they lose this 585 00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:58.840 series, this would be an absolute debacle, even worse than the Lakers, 586 00:42:59.039 --> 00:43:00.880 because the Clippers thought would be in the finals. The Clippers were still a 587 00:43:00.880 --> 00:43:04.719 project. We didn't know what it would get with them. So they better 588 00:43:04.719 --> 00:43:07.480 come out like this game five or they're gonna lose this series. I'm just 589 00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:09.559 discussed right now as a Clipper fan, man named there's nothing good to come 590 00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:13.719 out of this. Rick, thank you for the phone call. I get 591 00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:17.760 it. It's a devastating loss, but it's a best out of three series 592 00:43:17.800 --> 00:43:23.159 now, and you still have Kawhi Leonard, who if anyone can refuse to 593 00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:30.480 lose in this league, it's him. Same with Sweet Lou Williams and hopefully 594 00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:35.480 we don't know that status of Patrick Beverly, but it would be more than 595 00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:37.239 a shot in the arm for him to come back, it would be an 596 00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:43.440 adrenaline shot to the chess. Like in pulp fiction. Pat Beverly is their 597 00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:47.159 identity. Defensively. We've seen this over and over again. The Clippers have 598 00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:52.559 been five hundred all season long when Patrick Beverly isn't there, and they have 599 00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:57.280 not been good enough on that end. Outside the first six minutes of the 600 00:43:57.280 --> 00:44:01.079 game, they were miserable defensively and couldn't get crunch time stops late when they 601 00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:07.559 had to. I want to say Luca had eight points in the last five 602 00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:10.880 minutes of the game, just even outside of that three pointer. He kept 603 00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:16.239 getting to the basket and just wrecking things in the paint and the Clippers and 604 00:44:16.280 --> 00:44:21.280 Doc Rivers said this after a Game one, he thought they lost their discipline 605 00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:25.880 at times defensively. We saw that again here outside of a few possessions where 606 00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:31.159 Kawhi Leonard was on Luca and Seth Curry. Believe it or not, you 607 00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:34.679 gotta put somebody on Seth Curry right now. That's how good he's been in 608 00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:37.119 this series. All these guys have egos, all these guys are professionals, 609 00:44:38.199 --> 00:44:45.079 and with the Curry family in the virtual crowd Seth Curry put on a show 610 00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:50.599 in the second half for them, look like Steph was that good and then 611 00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:54.559 Steph was one of the virtual crowd members. Clippers end up losing on a 612 00:44:54.639 --> 00:45:00.880 Luca don Hitch step back three pointer over Reggie Jackson one more point before we 613 00:45:00.960 --> 00:45:07.400 hear from Kawhi Leonard postgame our color John in San Diego talking about more of 614 00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:12.079 Vizza Zubots, especially when Bobon is in the game. And of course you 615 00:45:12.119 --> 00:45:15.800 can understand that from a matchup standpoint, and Bobon had ten points in sixteen 616 00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:21.679 minutes. It was like he played the other night or two games ago. 617 00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:28.719 But in Game three, Monste Trez and Jamichael Green at times didn't okay job 618 00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:31.760 against Boban Marianovitch. Now, maybe law of diminishing returns there. You can 619 00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:36.800 only get so far doing that, And I thought I would have thought of 620 00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:39.800 Vizza Zubots would be matched up against him a little bit more in that second 621 00:45:39.880 --> 00:45:44.360 quarter. But I trust in Doc Rivers and this coaching staff. They're going 622 00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:46.440 to make the right adjustments. We've seen that already in this series. They're 623 00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:50.920 gonna do so again. There's a chess match going on between them and Rick 624 00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:53.800 Carlisle, who did I warn you about Rick Carlisle before this series? One 625 00:45:53.800 --> 00:45:57.239 of the best coaches in the NBA. All right, here's your leader, 626 00:45:57.320 --> 00:46:00.719 Kawhi Leonard, who had thirty two points in the game. Came up with 627 00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:04.280 some big shots, was not enough. But here he was postgame speaking with 628 00:46:04.280 --> 00:46:08.320 the media, quiet, looking, what are you gonna be frustrated most about? 629 00:46:08.320 --> 00:46:14.880 About? Where this game was lost? You know, obviously in that 630 00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:20.880 third quarter, I think it was about twelve fourteen point swing, I'm not 631 00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:30.239 sure I was internet second quarter, really really didn't have no energy. I'd 632 00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:34.960 like we could attacked the basket a little bit better. And next question is 633 00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:39.800 gonna come from home? Quite? Doc said, normally a mentally tough team, 634 00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:44.400 but he said today he felt that you guys were emotionally weak. Do 635 00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:47.239 you agree with what he's saying. Did you see any points emotionally where you 636 00:46:47.320 --> 00:46:53.880 guys could have been tougher? Yeah, obviously closing out that second quarter, 637 00:46:54.079 --> 00:46:59.280 in that big in the beginning of the third, you know, we, 638 00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:06.480 like I said, we didn't have no energy. You know it was easy 639 00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:13.360 players are making on the office of just getting easy to ask you the next 640 00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:19.800 question is gonna come from Shane Young, Hey, quite, that last play, 641 00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:22.320 there was the game plan to switch that action? Or was it something 642 00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:25.159 you're trying to prevent? What what'd you kind of see there when Luca got 643 00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:34.199 the ball? Yeah, you know we switched. That's a game plane. 644 00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:38.159 You know. He great player, made a great shot. He got to 645 00:47:38.239 --> 00:47:47.000 his spot and made it. And next question is gonna come from Miriam Hey 646 00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:52.559 quite, how important is it for you guys that PG gets going? And 647 00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:54.400 is there anything as a teammate that you tell a guy who's kind of going 648 00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:59.079 through a scoring funk like this? I'm just telling him to keep going. 649 00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:07.519 It's time is coming. Miss easy lives tonight everybody did, but it's not 650 00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:13.280 as fall. We are up, you know, quarter and everybody has a 651 00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:22.599 party you winning the basketball? Okay, So Mara Kawi doctors the game said 652 00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:24.760 that he thinks you know, he said that multiple times. You guys are 653 00:48:24.960 --> 00:48:29.119 are really far away from what you've shown you can be. Why do you 654 00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:31.199 think it's taken so long for you guys to show who you guys really can 655 00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:36.719 be. I mean we're a new team, you know what I mean? 656 00:48:37.199 --> 00:48:42.920 You know new guys. You know, you know a new system. Man. 657 00:48:44.199 --> 00:48:46.679 You know it takes time, but you know we're right there. We're 658 00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:52.480 not giving up, and you know we got five think a few more questions. 659 00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:58.920 Next one's gonna come from Julio Alonzo. Hey Kawhi, you play against 660 00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:02.880 superstars live on James Kevin Durant. What is it like playing against Luka Donta 661 00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:07.280 got twenty more years old? Do you see him in that level? How 662 00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:12.039 great does Luca don tak is when you play against him defending him, you 663 00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:22.639 can see it scored in the game and it's playing amazing basket. Next question 664 00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:30.480 is gonna come from Thomas Hey Kawach. My question to you is, I 665 00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:32.840 know you're personally known as kind of being a very cool player and even killed. 666 00:49:34.199 --> 00:49:37.199 You get frustrated after games like this or do you instantly put it out 667 00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:42.239 of your mind once the game is over and just spressure I mean the sea 668 00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:45.719 where we may mistakes that you know, you know what I mean, but 669 00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:52.079 it's something to learn from. You know. We still we still got two 670 00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:58.039 games and possible left. That's three right now, so we got time. 671 00:49:59.519 --> 00:50:01.920 But just get the film and see what we can do better. Okay, 672 00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:08.079 last questions don't coming from Andrew y I mentioned that even without porzingis obviously they 673 00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:13.079 shoot fifty percent today. Where do you feel like between now and Game five 674 00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:17.239 the defense has to tighten up the most individually? On individual defense, I 675 00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:22.400 think I think a lot of times we have a lot of miscommunication and you 676 00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:25.400 know, give him am easy baskets out there. But they're doing a great 677 00:50:25.480 --> 00:50:30.400 job right in their offense and getting looks, you know, starting with little 678 00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:35.519 Good getting his guys open shots and him making their shots. You know, 679 00:50:35.559 --> 00:50:37.239 you gotta give him credit. You know, they called back in his game 680 00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:43.639 tonight. You know, our defense is pretty good, but for the first 681 00:50:44.719 --> 00:50:47.199 twenty minutes and you know kind of went down here and it came back up 682 00:50:47.239 --> 00:50:52.199 when the game I tell you, so, you just gotta play forty eight. 683 00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:55.360 I see it. There was Kawhi Leonard post game. He had thirty 684 00:50:55.440 --> 00:51:00.079 two points. No one you'd rather be in a foxhole with because of that 685 00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:04.280 calming presence, because of that demeanor, no matter if it's a win, 686 00:51:04.320 --> 00:51:07.880 no matter if it's a loss, and it's time for the best version of 687 00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:14.159 this Clippers team to come together and step up. Game five, the pivotal 688 00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:17.000 Game five series. You don't want to get down three games to two starts 689 00:51:17.039 --> 00:51:22.920 Tuesday night at five pm with your pregame show. Before we get out of 690 00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:25.599 here, I do want to thank the Clippers organization, Noah Eagle, Brian 691 00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:29.840 Seaman, Ralph Lawler. In back here in Burbank, we had the fantastic 692 00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:35.239 Sam Zea and Zach Attack helping out pull some of that post game sound until 693 00:51:35.360 --> 00:51:40.199 five pm on Tuesday with your Clippers Countdown show for Game five between the Clippers 694 00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:44.280 and Dallas Mavericks. I'm at a Moslin. We will talk to you then
