It's game Date, Game Date,
double Saltier, Adam Auslin, post clippertowndown,

2
00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:11.800
the halftime show, the postgame show, our NBA insider joints. Us

3
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:14.480
Hey, you know who called in
post game the other night after the Clippers

4
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:16.760
big Game one victory. I heard
this. I heard him about it.

5
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.960
Rodney Pete. What a guy?
What are you gonna do that for me?

6
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:22.480
Huh? He made me feel great
the other night. It wasn't even

7
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:25.839
about the Clippers win, just the
fact that Rodney Pete called in the Clippers

8
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:29.000
top post game, big time rating
spike because we had a simulcast going.

9
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:36.320
At least you had a call f
you Fred. Oh, the people were

10
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.560
pretty fired up. That's why I
called in. I was getting into the

11
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:45.479
height. This is going, Fred. This is exactly why I get calls

12
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.479
postgame like, oh, I'm just
glad the Clippers won because Fred picked against

13
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.640
him. He had the Lakers in
that last game of the season. This

14
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.679
is why people come after you for
comments like that. I'll dare you,

15
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:58.320
Freddy. All right, well,
let's let's start with this. I said

16
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:00.560
the other day at him that of
all the first round playoff games of our

17
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.120
teams in the market, I thought
the Clippers win was the most important of

18
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.840
all of them because of the Phoenix
was the favorite. I mean, and

19
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.439
I think in the minds of many
people to win the Western Conference now,

20
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.200
and the Clippers just did not back
down, just basically punched them right in

21
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:19.040
the mouth. I felt like coming
into this series, even though the odds

22
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.680
were stacked against them on paper,
and the betting odds were for Phoenix to

23
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.799
win the series, you'd have to
bet six hundred just to win a hundred

24
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.760
bucks, So the Clippers were pretty
heavy underdogs. But I tried to tell

25
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:36.040
people they match up well in a
few different categories. Number One, Phoenix

26
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.439
is the only team you could say
in the playoffs that has even less continuity,

27
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:45.400
even less built up chemistry out there
than the Clippers. They also play

28
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:51.280
at a slow plotting pace. The
Clippers like that they are more methodical team,

29
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.519
more of a half court team.
Going up against Sacramento that would be

30
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:59.000
a completely different type of series out
there. But the Clippers have the best

31
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:00.920
player in this series, I think
in Kawhi Leonard, and if they go

32
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:05.280
on to win this series, I
never want to hear again that Kevin Durant

33
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.439
is better than Kawhi. That argument
has to be OVA. It's OVA,

34
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:13.639
ladies and gentlemen. If Kawhi,
Leonard comes through and wins him this series

35
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:15.960
regardless, if if Paul George comes
back for the last couple of games,

36
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.439
and that might happen, it's a
possibility. I don't know. If you

37
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.879
guys saw the tape earlier today,
him shooting around, it wasn't just him

38
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.639
shooting around. He was moving.
He was going through a lot of different

39
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.599
movement drills out there, and he
looked spry, he looked good. So

40
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:32.319
we'll see what comes about with that. But I wouldn't be shocked at all.

41
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:37.240
I said before the series, I
think Paul George could come back midway

42
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.639
through it. It could depend on
how much they need him and where the

43
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:44.360
series is at, and if it's
tied up after tonight. Coming back to

44
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:49.800
Los Angeles for Game three on Thursday
night, it's gonna be a huge home

45
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.439
game for the Clippers. We'll see. I think that would be too early

46
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.360
for PG to come back, should
he return in this series, but it's

47
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:58.800
on the table at this point.
But the Clippers have a lot of advantages.

48
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:00.360
The Suns are also the only team
you could say in the playoffs.

49
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:05.319
That is even less athletic and less
explosive than the Clippers. The Clippers are

50
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.719
an older team in that way,
but the Phoenix Suns they just take a

51
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:13.159
lot of jumpers. They're a jump
shooting team and to win that math battle

52
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.080
well, the Clippers. They're one
of the best three point shooting teams in

53
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.439
the league. So while the Phoenix
Suns maybe hitting fifty percent of their twos

54
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:23.120
in the mid range, if the
Clippers are out there knocking down three pointers

55
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.599
and they hit four more than the
Phoenix Suns in Game one, you can

56
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:30.120
make up for that. There's a
lot of different ways the Clippers can win

57
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:31.840
this series, and that's why we
saw him win Game one the way they

58
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:37.080
did. They also matched up very
well on the defensive ent Russell Westbrook played

59
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.759
great defensively against Kevin Durant. He
was amped up. I think that's part

60
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:44.000
of the reason that he went three
for nineteen from the field. But you

61
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.280
watch him make the winning plays late
in the game, knock down two free

62
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.439
throws, knocked the ball off of
Devin Booker, who was too busy arguing

63
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:54.120
the call to actually snatch it from
him. That was an amazing second half

64
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:59.319
or down the stretch fourth quarter from
Russell Westbrook to knock down two free throws

65
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.599
when you're three of nineteen and not
a good free throw shooter. It's crazy

66
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:06.159
how clushed that was for him to
hit both in that situation and after he

67
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:10.159
got into it with the fan at
the half in the tunnel. All right,

68
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:12.719
so let's do all of that.
Let's do all of it. I

69
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.560
just did, no, but I
have some thoughts on it, thank you.

70
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.360
My first thought is at the end
of the game when he made that

71
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:23.079
great defensive play to me and I
said this, Erodney, that showed a

72
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:28.279
sense of entitlement by the Suns and
really a lack of maturity by Devin Booker.

73
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.199
The game is in play, you're
down, the ball is alive,

74
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:36.600
and instead of doing something, your
reaction is to turn immediately and complain to

75
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:41.360
the official. Westbrook had presence of
mind, So I thought that was a

76
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.639
sense of entitlement by the Suns.
The other thing was, and we've talked

77
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:49.120
about this, when Westbrook went back
out into the court and that little skirmish

78
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.079
with the fan. That was not
on Ross. No, that was not

79
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.800
and everybody wanted to vilify him that
was not on Rouss. That was on

80
00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:00.519
the Phoenix Suns for allowing that kind
of thing to happen, To have somebody

81
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.600
walked right through your living room to
go back on the court. Yeah,

82
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.360
going through the tunnel and going through
the shoot, it looked like best of

83
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:11.439
the best two with Eric Roberts were
coming out in that underground battle. You

84
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:14.639
know, it made no sense to
have it worked that way. Yeah,

85
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:16.959
I thought it was really poorant I'd
be shocked if they allowed that again today.

86
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.120
Yeah, without you know, without
security there, it's it's it was

87
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:25.800
absolutely ridiculous, Adam. You would
think, you know, the Clippers went

88
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.519
in without Paul George that everybody went
off right. Oh, they just shot.

89
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:31.839
They went crazy from the field free
though they went to the line all

90
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.680
this time. Russell Westbrook he played
great and defensively and the hustle and all

91
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:39.240
that, but he was three for
nineteen. Yeah, Eric Gordon didn't shoot

92
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:44.600
the ball well. Kauai was fantastic, yes, of course, but it

93
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.839
wasn't like the Clippers were just playing
lights out to get to win. They

94
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:51.720
got the win because they out they
outplayed them, they out hustled them.

95
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:56.600
It was more heart, but the
Clippers can play better. They can play

96
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.040
better than what they did. And
if they go out and I told you

97
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:01.199
this on the air when I called
in, is that give me a give

98
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:05.600
me a healthy Kawhi Leonard. Give
me that guy over anybody right now,

99
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:10.680
because he can get anything he wants, He can do anything he wants.

100
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:16.519
And I'm with you. But that
being said, you gotta know Kevin Durant's

101
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:20.279
coming out with gangbusters this game,
right He's gonna come out with everything he's

102
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:25.279
got. They're gonna feed him.
He may get every shot the first eight

103
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:29.560
minutes of this game. What did
the Clippers do to be ready, because

104
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.839
obviously they know that too. Yeah, Coach Lou said it yesterday talking with

105
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.240
reporters. We know Kevin Durant is
going to be much more aggressive in this

106
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:39.399
game. He only put up fourteen
shots in game one. That's not gonna

107
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.759
happen again. Now. Part of
the reason is they loaded up on him.

108
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.040
They loaded up on Devin Booker.
They said, Tory Craig beat us.

109
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.040
He went nine of twelve and had
twenty two points. That was his

110
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:55.279
playoff high. But you're taking away
shots in keeping their superstars out of rhythm

111
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:59.079
for when they need to hit big
shots later in games if you're relying more

112
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.600
on Tory Craig, and he shot
a very good percentage because they played off

113
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:06.240
of him. But you survive a
game with a role player that you know.

114
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:09.720
In a series like this, you
could have a role player go off

115
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:14.279
one night and that could swing the
series. Somebody who didn't expect to have

116
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:17.720
a big game the Phoenix Suns got
it from Tory Craig, who started by

117
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:23.199
the way over josh A Kogi.
I thought that was interesting because while he

118
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.600
is the better player in my opinion, he's bigger, he's a better defender

119
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.959
on Kawhi Leonard, He's a better
three point shooter than Joshua Kogi. What

120
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.199
it told to me was, Mommy
Williams was already showing some of his hand.

121
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:35.480
He already played a move in Game
one that now he can't go to

122
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:40.879
again should they get deeper into the
series. And I thought there was a

123
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:45.000
critical mistake made by him as well, where you should always have two of

124
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.959
your best four players on the court
for the Phoenix Suns, two of Devin

125
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:51.600
Booker, Kevin Durant CP three,
and DeAndre Eighten. At least two of

126
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:55.079
those guys should be on the court. End of the first quarter, it

127
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.560
was just Devin Booker and role players
out there. End of the third quarter,

128
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:03.000
the same thing happened, and the
Clippers took big advantage of that.

129
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.240
So the coaching advantage is also I
think in the Clippers favor in this series.

130
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.639
But there weren't any outliers that they
needed, to your point, Rodney

131
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.959
Pete for them to win that game
won. They didn't get twenty five points

132
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.959
from Bones Highland or something crazy like
that. They didn't shoot that high of

133
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:24.040
a percentage from the outside. They
can still play so much better than they

134
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.600
did. I thought coming into the
series they would have one game in Phoenix

135
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.240
that would be close that they had
to win. They would have another game

136
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.240
where the Phoenix Suns would just dominate
them and have a hot shooting night.

137
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.919
Now I'm thinking that margin for air
may not be as slim as I thought

138
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.240
it was coming into this series,
because the Suns have only played nine games

139
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.600
with Kevin Durant and they look a
little bit unsure of themselves still offensively.

140
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.320
And Chris Paul he looks his age
right now at thirty seven. Now he

141
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.600
may bounce back. He may have
a much better game, but he doesn't

142
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:56.519
look like a guy he was two
years ago in the Western Conference Finals who

143
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.360
closed out the Clippers in that Game
six. And I'm gonna give you a

144
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.480
lot of credit here, Fred to
two of your points. One thing you've

145
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.320
been saying for a long time about
DeAndre Eighten where he just doesn't impress you

146
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.200
as much as he should. Some
of that is on the Phoenix Suns not

147
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.559
getting him involved as much as they
should. But I think i Viza Zubots

148
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.399
is the better center in this series, and I think he was in the

149
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.440
twenty twenty one Western Conference Finals.
Two people forget I Viza Zubots got hurt

150
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.360
midway through the series. It wasn't
just not having Kawhi Leonard. I Vitza

151
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.480
Zubots went out with a knee injury. I think in Game three that greatly

152
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:30.919
affected the series. And I thought
he was the more impactful player in Game

153
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.480
one against DeAndre Eighten. Even though
he had eighteen, they didn't feel like

154
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.759
a big eighteen points. They didn't
stand out to you there. And a

155
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:41.320
lot of his shots are also jump
shots. This is a team that took

156
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:46.000
seventy percent of their shots outside the
restricted area in Game one in the Phoenix

157
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.320
Suns, but that's kind of who
they are. They have to hit those

158
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.559
mid rain shots, and they do, but they still won't account for two

159
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.360
points as impressive as they are.
Meanwhile, the Clippers one of the best

160
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.720
three points shooting teams over the last
three seasons. They can win that math

161
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.480
problem, and that is one area
I thought they were going to be able

162
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.159
to beat them in something else you
said Fred earlier, the Suns just don't

163
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:09.039
seem that likable, and I think
a lot of the league has turned on

164
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:13.200
them. You mentioned how entitled Devin
Booker looked on that play. They remind

165
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.840
me a little bit of the Lobs
City Eric Clippers, where teams didn't like

166
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.879
them because they acted like they had
already won something. The Phoenix Suns haven't

167
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.639
won anything yet, but they act
like a team that already has that championship

168
00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:26.759
pedigree out there at times and it
rubs guys the wrong way. And I

169
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.519
thought that play from Devin Booker was
an indicator of that. So for Chris

170
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:37.360
paul tonight probably not good news.
Scott Foster is one of the officials.

171
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.879
Don't don't what do you think?
I mean? They just don't He doesn't

172
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.039
win. When Scott Foster officiates the
last fourteen games, Scott Foster is officiated

173
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:52.440
CP three is oh and fourteen.
That's like you want to talk about outliers

174
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:58.200
or just never tell me the odds
type of stuff. That's astronomical. How

175
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.320
could that be with a player of
CP three's ilk who's been on very good

176
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.759
teams. I don't know if that's
just the last two seasons. It could

177
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.480
be a sample size that big those
fourteen games, so it's probably just CP

178
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.080
three on the Phoenix Suns, but
it's it's kind of nuts. I don't

179
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.759
understand it. And Scott Foster,
Look, he was a guy who had

180
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:22.559
phone calls back and forth with Tim
Donahey before and after games. Fred.

181
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:28.080
It's a fact a lot of people
have suspicion over this. I'm not saying

182
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.200
there's anything fishy going on, but
there is a perception and as you would

183
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.200
say, the optics don't look good
when he's out there. He seems to

184
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.759
inject himself into the game. And
when you have a bunch of fans that

185
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.879
are pointing to this and Scott Foster's
trending right now for all the wrong reasons,

186
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.240
that's not a good look for the
NBA. I'm not saying he's doing

187
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.240
anything wrong. He is apparently rated
one of the better officials in the NBA

188
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.360
when it comes to making the correct
calls. But the perception just doesn't look

189
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:00.799
good when he's out there, especially
in a game against Chris Paul. There

190
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:05.320
shouldn't be some subplot or underlying story
that, Oh, it's also not just

191
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:09.279
the Clippers versus the Phoenix Suns,
it's Scott Foster versus Chris Paul. I

192
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:11.200
don't I just don't like that.
It's a distraction from the game and the

193
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.840
players out there on the court deciding
things. But on the other hand,

194
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.200
Kevin pointed out earlier, when Scott
Foster works, Kevin Durant does very well,

195
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:24.200
something has to give. Speaking about
give, I mean, that's what

196
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.480
you know. That's the actual reason
they brought in Kevin Durant, just to

197
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.159
counter the fact that Scott Foster seems
to single out CP three to balance it

198
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.759
out. What do you make of
the stomp heard around the world at him

199
00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:41.440
and Draymond Green and Sabonus. You
know, to me, okay, yeah,

200
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.120
it's Draymond anybody else. It's not
the reaction that everybody's got right now.

201
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:48.960
But overreacting by Sabona, I thought
he was playing Premier League soccer the

202
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.120
way he was rolling around on the
ground. All come on, come on,

203
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.320
Fred, come on, Yes he
was. He was. He was

204
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.799
rolling around like he had somebody like
he just got punched by Tyson. All

205
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.600
right, Sham's reporting. By the
way, it doesn't look like he'll be

206
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:09.720
suspended, but it will be.
Shouldn't beat That makes sense to me because

207
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.600
Sabonis also got a technical for grabbing
Draymond Green's foot, and it looked like

208
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.840
it was intentional there, and they
got into it at the end of Game

209
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:22.080
one where he and Sabonis got tangled
up on a rebound before the Kings closed

210
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.480
things out in Game one there.
So there's, you know, that built

211
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:30.480
up tension and aggression going on between
those two guys battling out there, and

212
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.960
it's going to continue throughout the series. I still expect the Golden State Warriors

213
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:37.360
to win Game three, and they
could win both back at home, and

214
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.440
this thing could be tied up at
two games apiece. I still think it's

215
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.039
going six or seven. As good
as Sacramento has been, and they have

216
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:48.200
been great, especially with their pace. They're kind of beating the Golden State

217
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.360
Warriors at their own game, at
least how they used to be. They

218
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.639
used to run teams ragged, and
they used to get up all those three

219
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.879
point shots. The Kings weren't even
that great offensively, but they got so

220
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.720
many possessions last night because they're playing
at such a fast pace, and they

221
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:05.399
wore down the Golden State Warriors,
whose guys are a little bit older now

222
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.879
with Steph Curry, with Draymond,
with Clay Thompson. They need Jordan Pool

223
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.559
to be much better than he had
play. Where'd he go? That's what

224
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.080
I'm I want to ask you.
Where's Jordan polk cart That got all that

225
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.879
money, Yet he's got to play
much better. He was being a cheerleader

226
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.440
on the sidelines. That was like
his most important role yesterday. He has

227
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:28.720
to play because he was good during
their finals run, during their championship run

228
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.559
last season, it looked like this
is what's going to create a larger Yeah,

229
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.639
he's going to create a larger window
for Golden State to continue to win

230
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:43.519
because you have him, because you
have kaminga Wiseman's now been traded, but

231
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.679
also Andrew Wiggins. He hasn't looked
right. He'd hit that three point off

232
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.320
the side of the backboard late in
the game last night, in Game two,

233
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.480
and it's somewhat understandable. He's still
finding a rhythm coming back after missing

234
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:58.399
time for so long. But they
are vulnerable. The defending champs are vulnerable

235
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.519
to a team that hadn't been the
playoffs since two thousand and six, and

236
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.279
all that talk of well Sacramento doesn't
have the experience. You know, they

237
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:07.200
got the short end of the stick, drawing the Golden State Warriors in the

238
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.919
first round. Right now, the
Sacramento Kings looked like the team that's much

239
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:16.399
more composed and playing with you know, some of those championship traits where they

240
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.840
just look unphased out there. Even
when Steph Curry does hit a big three

241
00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:20.679
on them, they come right back, all right. What time do you

242
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:24.480
go to work tonight? Tonight?
Six o'clock? What time you call him

243
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:26.840
post game? You know what you
want me to call it? I would

244
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.000
love it. I hate to have
to beg for it, Fred, But

245
00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.919
after Rodney Pete called in, why
not let's do it? Rogan and Rodney

246
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.559
advertising coming up. Clippers talk later
tonight with Fred Rogan love it. Okay,

247
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:43.159
I think that might be a point, because you're down two bottles of

248
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.799
wine by the time I get on
at ten thirty. Is that gonna be

249
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:48.399
the problem? Oh, you're gonna
have to actually watch the game tonight?

250
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:50.840
Is that the problem? Fred?
I watched the whole game the other night.

251
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.000
I know you enjoyed it. I
watched every second of it. I

252
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.360
did enjoy it. This is gonna
be a great series. And by the

253
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.279
way, you're gonna give me some
credit. Who came on this show two

254
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:02.200
months ago and said, if the
Lakers draw the Memphis Grizzlies in the first

255
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.480
round, they're bouncing them. Guess
what they're bouncing them? Well, I'll

256
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.559
give you more credit. Would you've
been right about a lot of stuff you've

257
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.399
said on this show? A lot
of stuff? Broken clock right twice a

258
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.240
day? You know, Blind Squirrel
finds a not all those all right?

259
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.840
Clipper countdown the Saltier Adam Austin six
o'clock tonight, Adam, have a good

260
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:21.799
show, all right? I love
you, guys, Brogan and Rodney A

261
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.240
M five seventy LA Sports And you'll
hear Adam on AM eleven fifty starting at

262
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:29.840

game tonight, right down the hall,

263
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:30.840
on a Patriot
