Clippers win one o two to one hundred over the Denver Nuggets. Welcome back
into Crypto dot Com, Marina. I'm Adam Mouslin. This is Clippers Talk
coming up. We'll get back to your phone calls at eight sixty six ninety
eight seven two five seventy. But first we got someone who has the super
secret celebrity hotline. It's Big Carl Tart. He's at Damnit Carl on Instagram.
Nobody knows what his Twitter burner is. It's probably something like at Big
Zoo's the best ever. I don't know what it could be, but Carl,
thanks for joining me after a Clippers big victory over the Denver Nuggets.
To night, my friend, Adam. I have been waiting to do this
for so long. Thank you for having me, and what a special night
it was. What a special performance by Viza Zubats knocking down those free throws
in the fourth quarter. Your guy, Carl, Okay, maybe not something
you know you meant you mean when he missed that layup to give us a
solid so we wouldn't have to worry about all of our hearts jumping out of
our chest when Yokis put up their three. Thank you guy for PJ.
Tucker. Huh how about that? Are we really doing this on a night
where Big Zoo at eight of his fourteen points in the fourth quarter and is
a big man hitting those clutch free throws with a minute and a half left?
Are we really not going to give a beat to Zubat's credit for this
one? In the defense on yolgic slate, he got that stupid. I
know, Adam, every time you say can you believe there are people out
there who don't believe in Zubat? I know you always directing that at me,
And that's okay. I told you I like Zubat, I the guy.
He's the only guy you don't have a jersey up on this team.
You got John Wall jerseys and stuff, but you won't have one for Big
Zoo. I tried to get this. I try to get the Zubac gameplay
jersey. Can you believe that? Remember on NBA auctions NBA Auctions they had
a Zubat jersey for two hundred and forty dollars, but I said, I
can't wear that. That dude is two feet taller than me. I'm gonna
have to. It's gonna be a dress on me. I want to wear
it to the guy. I have to tuck it into my khakis. Yeah,
well it could be gown. It could be a nightgown because he put
Denver to bed tonight. It's Carl Tart from the Grand Curve joining us here
postgame on Clippers Talk after they win one o two to one hundred over the
Denver Nuggets. Okay, big picture here, Carl, has this team gained
back your trust? Do you have more faith in the Clippers after a victory
like this? They're four and one in their last five ball games since coach
Lou called him out for being soft. They didn't have Kawhi Leonard. It
just seems like maybe they've turned a little bit of a corner here with just
six games from any Let me tell you something, what a statement win without
Kawhi. I loved that that game was like, that was so exciting.
And again I tell you, my heart was jumping out of my chest for
most of the time. I was in a bar with a bunch of Laker
fans and they was on my head. But I stood strong. I stood
ten toes down for the nation. And That's what I'm always gonna do.
And we pulled it off at the end. What a statement win without Kawhi
there. Shout out to PG, Shout out to PJ, Shout out to
Zubats, shout out to the whole squad. I think we have turned a
little bit of a leaf. That was a good statement when we needed that.
And I think the rest of the season, you know, we're gonna
we're gonna keep it up. We gotta maintain our spot and I'm ready to
go into the playoffs with these guys. I'm ready to you know, I'm
you know, I'm a surgeon general in the PG army. At him,
Okay, that's fair. And he had been taking a lot of flak.
He didn't show up against Sacramento. He didn't have his best game. The
Clippers got run in that one and he only took twelve shots. I know
he didn't play the fourth quarter because he got out of hand. But tonight,
without Kawhi, he got up twenty one shots and hit some clutch,
tough buckets against great defense in the fourth quarter and it just didn't matter.
Plus he was fouled on that transition play and they didn't call it. Just
talk about Paul George stepping up in a big time moment here. It looked
like twenty twenty one, Paul George, when they were missing Kawhi Leonard the
last few games of that of the the biggest run the Clippers have ever had
in the playoffs all the way to the Western Conference Finals. That's what we
needed them to do. That's what we needing to do in case Kawhi is
out for more games. We got to be able to trust the guys that
we have, and PG showed us tonight why we can trust me. That
was it. That's what we need, Paul George, he came through.
I thought, man, there were some interesting calls down the stretch of this
one on both sides. Did you see because I'm not watching it on TV,
you know, I'm big time here in person luckily tonight for this one
here, Carl, not big time like you, But did you see what
went down? Without dropping anything? I know it's safe harbor hours, but
what exactly was happening there with Mike Malone losing his cool on the sidelines?
Did you get any insight on that? I did. I saw that it
was completely overreaction by Mike Mike Malone. I like Mike Malone. It was
a complete overreaction because let's let's we know that you cannot kick your leg out
on a three point. I shout out to Zoobox for that defense right there,
and he, Mike Michael porter Jia kicked his leg out, which you
cannot do when you shooting. And then on the other side of the court,
that was an absolute foul I have to call. And Mike Malone is
not used to getting that type of treatment because they never call anything on that
damn team. Uh but uh we we uh we we we won that one
far and squad. That was far and squad. Now that was some questionable
it was. It was a little bit of question questionables in there on both
sides. But I think we definitely took the harder spot. Paul George should
have had about four more free throws at the end of that uh, at
the end of that game, for sure on a couple of them drives.
But hey, beggars can't be choosers. Okay, we begged for it and
we got what we wanted. I pleaded all of it. Uh. Speaking
of choosing, if you had a choice, Carl of who you'd want to
see in a first round series against the Clippers, what opponent are you taking?
What gives the Clippers the best chance to win in the first round.
Oh my gosh, Adam, that's a tough question, but I'm thinking about
it from this standpoint. Those guys down in Dallas, they don't play good
enough, Deef and I think are shot fall which it was it was looking,
it was looking a little shaky tonight. I can't lie uh they if
our shots can fall, I think we can compete with them offensively because they're
gonna have to score more points than us. And I think Kawhi has the
upper hand defensively over that guy. I can't think of his name, but
it starts with an L, the same letter that's that uh, you spill
a loser with and uh I Uh. I would rather have them than that
than than those boys down in the big Easy. I think they're a little
bit more spry, they're harder on defense, they're a little bit bigger than
us, and they got some tough guys down in the middle. I'm not
gonna say how I feel about our middle on on the air. I'll tell
you about that in through text messages with the with Charles and Will. But
uh, I think i'd rather I think I'd rather face Dallas. And at
first, I know it may sound crazy, but I'm I'm I'm praying for
Rain And I think if our shots, if our shots are hitting, they
can't really defend us uh And I think our defense should be able to hold
strong against There's no good option. It does sound crazy to want to play
Luka Doncic or whatever you're trying to call him there. I wasn't gonna go
there. I got too much respect for the guy. He's toughing. I
forgot his name. I forgot his name in the moment. He might just
call him twenty twenty four MVP winner, because that might happen. That should
belong that should belong to our cousin, Shay. That's fair enough. Look,
there's no good options. It could be them, it could be the
Pelicans, it could be the Phoenix Suns. He is Carl Tart from Grand
Crew. Again. He's not on Twitter unless you can find his burner.
I've been looking forward to night. You can't find a burner to night.

let the callers talk more? Is that you? I definitely showl that way.
