00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,599
Clippers win one o two to one
hundred over the Denver Nuggets. Welcome back

2
00:00:06,599 --> 00:00:10,439
into Crypto dot Com, Marina.
I'm Adam Mouslin. This is Clippers Talk

3
00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:12,960
coming up. We'll get back to
your phone calls at eight sixty six ninety

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,239
eight seven two five seventy. But
first we got someone who has the super

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:24,359
secret celebrity hotline. It's Big Carl
Tart. He's at Damnit Carl on Instagram.

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:30,320
Nobody knows what his Twitter burner is. It's probably something like at Big

7
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,600
Zoo's the best ever. I don't
know what it could be, but Carl,

8
00:00:33,679 --> 00:00:37,600
thanks for joining me after a Clippers
big victory over the Denver Nuggets.

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,240
To night, my friend, Adam. I have been waiting to do this

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,679
for so long. Thank you for
having me, and what a special night

11
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:49,560
it was. What a special performance
by Viza Zubats knocking down those free throws

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,159
in the fourth quarter. Your guy, Carl, Okay, maybe not something

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,719
you know you meant you mean when
he missed that layup to give us a

14
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,840
solid so we wouldn't have to worry
about all of our hearts jumping out of

15
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,240
our chest when Yokis put up their
three. Thank you guy for PJ.

16
00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:06,719
Tucker. Huh how about that?
Are we really doing this on a night

17
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,959
where Big Zoo at eight of his
fourteen points in the fourth quarter and is

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,040
a big man hitting those clutch free
throws with a minute and a half left?

19
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,120
Are we really not going to give
a beat to Zubat's credit for this

20
00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:23,120
one? In the defense on yolgic
slate, he got that stupid. I

21
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:26,079
know, Adam, every time you
say can you believe there are people out

22
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:29,280
there who don't believe in Zubat?
I know you always directing that at me,

23
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:32,719
And that's okay. I told you
I like Zubat, I the guy.

24
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,680
He's the only guy you don't have
a jersey up on this team.

25
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,879
You got John Wall jerseys and stuff, but you won't have one for Big

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,400
Zoo. I tried to get this. I try to get the Zubac gameplay

27
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,439
jersey. Can you believe that?
Remember on NBA auctions NBA Auctions they had

28
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:49,840
a Zubat jersey for two hundred and
forty dollars, but I said, I

29
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:53,040
can't wear that. That dude is
two feet taller than me. I'm gonna

30
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:56,319
have to. It's gonna be a
dress on me. I want to wear

31
00:01:56,319 --> 00:01:57,959
it to the guy. I have
to tuck it into my khakis. Yeah,

32
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,000
well it could be gown. It
could be a nightgown because he put

33
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,719
Denver to bed tonight. It's Carl
Tart from the Grand Curve joining us here

34
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:10,360
postgame on Clippers Talk after they win
one o two to one hundred over the

35
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,639
Denver Nuggets. Okay, big picture
here, Carl, has this team gained

36
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,439
back your trust? Do you have
more faith in the Clippers after a victory

37
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,680
like this? They're four and one
in their last five ball games since coach

38
00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:27,039
Lou called him out for being soft. They didn't have Kawhi Leonard. It

39
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,159
just seems like maybe they've turned a
little bit of a corner here with just

40
00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:32,919
six games from any Let me tell
you something, what a statement win without

41
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,280
Kawhi. I loved that that game
was like, that was so exciting.

42
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:39,879
And again I tell you, my
heart was jumping out of my chest for

43
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,759
most of the time. I was
in a bar with a bunch of Laker

44
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,120
fans and they was on my head. But I stood strong. I stood

45
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:49,960
ten toes down for the nation.
And That's what I'm always gonna do.

46
00:02:50,199 --> 00:02:53,360
And we pulled it off at the
end. What a statement win without Kawhi

47
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,919
there. Shout out to PG,
Shout out to PJ, Shout out to

48
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,080
Zubats, shout out to the whole
squad. I think we have turned a

49
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,560
little bit of a leaf. That
was a good statement when we needed that.

50
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,840
And I think the rest of the
season, you know, we're gonna

51
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:07,879
we're gonna keep it up. We
gotta maintain our spot and I'm ready to

52
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,080
go into the playoffs with these guys. I'm ready to you know, I'm

53
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:15,479
you know, I'm a surgeon general
in the PG army. At him,

54
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,319
Okay, that's fair. And he
had been taking a lot of flak.

55
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,520
He didn't show up against Sacramento.
He didn't have his best game. The

56
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,719
Clippers got run in that one and
he only took twelve shots. I know

57
00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:30,240
he didn't play the fourth quarter because
he got out of hand. But tonight,

58
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,120
without Kawhi, he got up twenty
one shots and hit some clutch,

59
00:03:35,639 --> 00:03:39,439
tough buckets against great defense in the
fourth quarter and it just didn't matter.

60
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,319
Plus he was fouled on that transition
play and they didn't call it. Just

61
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,120
talk about Paul George stepping up in
a big time moment here. It looked

62
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,199
like twenty twenty one, Paul George, when they were missing Kawhi Leonard the

63
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,919
last few games of that of the
the biggest run the Clippers have ever had

64
00:03:54,919 --> 00:03:59,000
in the playoffs all the way to
the Western Conference Finals. That's what we

65
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:00,360
needed them to do. That's what
we needing to do in case Kawhi is

66
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,879
out for more games. We got
to be able to trust the guys that

67
00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:06,960
we have, and PG showed us
tonight why we can trust me. That

68
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,159
was it. That's what we need, Paul George, he came through.

69
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,599
I thought, man, there were
some interesting calls down the stretch of this

70
00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:18,120
one on both sides. Did you
see because I'm not watching it on TV,

71
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,439
you know, I'm big time here
in person luckily tonight for this one

72
00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:26,279
here, Carl, not big time
like you, But did you see what

73
00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:30,680
went down? Without dropping anything?
I know it's safe harbor hours, but

74
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:35,000
what exactly was happening there with Mike
Malone losing his cool on the sidelines?

75
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,040
Did you get any insight on that? I did. I saw that it

76
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:43,439
was completely overreaction by Mike Mike Malone. I like Mike Malone. It was

77
00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:46,839
a complete overreaction because let's let's we
know that you cannot kick your leg out

78
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,680
on a three point. I shout
out to Zoobox for that defense right there,

79
00:04:49,959 --> 00:04:54,680
and he, Mike Michael porter Jia
kicked his leg out, which you

80
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,560
cannot do when you shooting. And
then on the other side of the court,

81
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:01,519
that was an absolute foul I have
to call. And Mike Malone is

82
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,879
not used to getting that type of
treatment because they never call anything on that

83
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:12,319
damn team. Uh but uh we
we uh we we we won that one

84
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,560
far and squad. That was far
and squad. Now that was some questionable

85
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:16,439
it was. It was a little
bit of question questionables in there on both

86
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,360
sides. But I think we definitely
took the harder spot. Paul George should

87
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,160
have had about four more free throws
at the end of that uh, at

88
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,199
the end of that game, for
sure on a couple of them drives.

89
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,720
But hey, beggars can't be choosers. Okay, we begged for it and

90
00:05:31,079 --> 00:05:35,079
we got what we wanted. I
pleaded all of it. Uh. Speaking

91
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,160
of choosing, if you had a
choice, Carl of who you'd want to

92
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:45,560
see in a first round series against
the Clippers, what opponent are you taking?

93
00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:47,879
What gives the Clippers the best chance
to win in the first round.

94
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:53,519
Oh my gosh, Adam, that's
a tough question, but I'm thinking about

95
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,839
it from this standpoint. Those guys
down in Dallas, they don't play good

96
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,920
enough, Deef and I think are
shot fall which it was it was looking,

97
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:04,920
it was looking a little shaky tonight. I can't lie uh they if

98
00:06:04,959 --> 00:06:08,600
our shots can fall, I think
we can compete with them offensively because they're

99
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,759
gonna have to score more points than
us. And I think Kawhi has the

100
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,800
upper hand defensively over that guy.
I can't think of his name, but

101
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:17,800
it starts with an L, the
same letter that's that uh, you spill

102
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:23,160
a loser with and uh I Uh. I would rather have them than that

103
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:25,839
than than those boys down in the
big Easy. I think they're a little

104
00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:28,720
bit more spry, they're harder on
defense, they're a little bit bigger than

105
00:06:28,759 --> 00:06:30,680
us, and they got some tough
guys down in the middle. I'm not

106
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,680
gonna say how I feel about our
middle on on the air. I'll tell

107
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,839
you about that in through text messages
with the with Charles and Will. But

108
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,920
uh, I think i'd rather I
think I'd rather face Dallas. And at

109
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,959
first, I know it may sound
crazy, but I'm I'm I'm praying for

110
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,839
Rain And I think if our shots, if our shots are hitting, they

111
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:56,319
can't really defend us uh And I
think our defense should be able to hold

112
00:06:56,319 --> 00:07:00,199
strong against There's no good option.
It does sound crazy to want to play

113
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,920
Luka Doncic or whatever you're trying to
call him there. I wasn't gonna go

114
00:07:03,959 --> 00:07:08,519
there. I got too much respect
for the guy. He's toughing. I

115
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,560
forgot his name. I forgot his
name in the moment. He might just

116
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:16,120
call him twenty twenty four MVP winner, because that might happen. That should

117
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:21,199
belong that should belong to our cousin, Shay. That's fair enough. Look,

118
00:07:21,279 --> 00:07:25,160
there's no good options. It could
be them, it could be the

119
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:29,920
Pelicans, it could be the Phoenix
Suns. He is Carl Tart from Grand

120
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:32,600
Crew. Again. He's not on
Twitter unless you can find his burner.

121
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:36,240
I've been looking forward to night.
You can't find a burner to night.

122
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:41,879
But I tweeted you all the time
at him. Are you the ones saying

123
00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:45,879
let the callers talk more? Is
that you? I definitely showl that way.

124
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,120
Shout out to my man Morris the
Long Beach. I love looking at

125
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:55,600
his call at damn it Carl d
A m m it Carl on Instagram is

126
00:07:55,639 --> 00:07:58,920
where you find him as well,
if you're not watching him on the tube.

127
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,519
Carl, thanks for doing the Sonata
Clippers talk. We'll do it again

130
