But the time to react has just been gone. I'm so 3 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:16.519 happy with Bomber doing. This is Clippers Talk with your host Adam Mosley on 4 00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:20.839 air after every game here and on the iHeart Radio app. This is what 5 00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:24.600 they have been building towards. All the other pieces were in place all now 6 00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:28.600 to get in on the action and let your voice be her now, your 7 00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:36.439 host, Adam Osled. The best player in the game is also the best 8 00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:41.439 closer in the game, and he played big late against Big d Kawhi Leonard 9 00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:45.399 would help put the Dallas Mavericks away in six games after a one eleven to 10 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.600 ninety seven series close out win. Welcome into Clippers Talk. I'm Adam Oslin 11 00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.320 coming up. We'll get to your phone calls at eight seven seven five two 12 00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:59.759 zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. You'll hear from 13 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.799 Why Leonard post game after this series win and the head coach Doc Rivers. 14 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:11.000 But the terminator activated himself in that fourth quarter. It was just a six 15 00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.519 point lead for the Clippers after being up by as many as twenty three in 16 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:19.319 the third, also because Kawhi Leonard had fourteen points in that third quarter, 17 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.680 but Luca don in the Dallas Mavericks and they were not going away. Luca 18 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.000 had sixteen points in the third. He had twenty three points in the second 19 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:32.920 half. Kawhi had twenty two. But the game was in danger without Kawhi 20 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:38.079 Leonard on the court to start off the fourth quarter. But you're in very 21 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.359 safe and capable hands when you give the ball to the claw. He comes 22 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:48.239 back sham it hits a three. And then Kawhi scores eight straight points in 23 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.319 the fourth quarter, and all of a sudden, the Clippers are up fifteen 24 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.359 again, and Reggie Jackson went to hit a couple of three pointers to close 25 00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.959 it out. And that's all she wrote for the Dallas Mavericks this season. 26 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:02.760 Tip of the cat to Dallas. They were great in this series. They 27 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.159 took the Clippers to six with some spectacular play from Luca Donchich, but it 28 00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:13.080 was also the others Trey Burke, Seth Curry, Tim Hardaway, Junior, 29 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.800 Bobon Marianovitch our old friend who played heavy minutes in this one. But as 30 00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:23.199 Noah Eagle pointed out postgame, the Clippers did a much better job against those 31 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.560 guys. Trey Burke just two of ten in this one. Tim Hardaway Junior 32 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.919 four for fifteen, Seth Curry three of seven, and he had been on 33 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.879 fire all series long against the Clippers. Stray Burke had a twenty five point 34 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.080 game where he was ten for fourteen. Tim Hardaway Junior was money from distance. 35 00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:43.039 But in this game, after starting three of six in the first quarter 36 00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:47.319 from three, all of a sudden, the Clippers defense, that vaunted perimeter 37 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:53.360 defense that we've talked about all season long, even without Patrick Beverley, really 38 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.840 showed up in the final three quarters. There was a stretch from the second 39 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:04.879 quarter into the third quarter where Dallas was one for seventeen from three, and 40 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.520 some of it was just miss shots, but a lot of it was better 41 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:13.159 defense by the Clippers rotations, covering for the guy next to you, playing 42 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:16.840 five guys on a string. It was beautiful to watch that level of defense 43 00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:23.520 against the number one offense in NBA history, the most efficient regular season offense 44 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.520 in NBA history, and they had showed that offense in the six game series 45 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.960 against the Clippers at times. But the thing that hurt them early on in 46 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:36.120 the series was the three points shooting from the Dallas Mavericks and their role players 47 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:40.319 and contributors, and the Clippers finally figured it out by the end, and 48 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.719 that's why they were able to hold Dallas to just ninety seven points. But 49 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:49.159 Kawhi Leonard, he set the tone. He had three steals in the first 50 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:53.919 three minutes of the game, finished with five steals, thirty three points, 51 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.719 fourteen rebounds. He joins, Oh, I don't know this guy named Michael 52 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.599 Jeffrey Jordan who did it back in nineteen eighty nine in a playoff game. 53 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:08.360 Only two players in NBA history to have at least thirty three points, fourteen 54 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:13.840 boards, seven assists in five steals in a playoff game Kawhi and Michael Jordan. 55 00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.800 The guy I've been comparing Kawhi Leonard two at least in the mid range. 56 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:21.680 It's not just the hands, it's the arsenal of moves he has. 57 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.839 It's the way he can close out a game and take over and know when 58 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.360 two while getting the others involved. Kawhi Leonard is special. He's the best 59 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:36.600 player in the game, and he plays for your Los Angeles Clippers. And 60 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:41.519 this is why you always have to be confident when he's on the floor for 61 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:46.480 them, You are the best team on the planet when Kawhi Leonard is playing 62 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:53.480 like this, when he is making sure and refusing to lose. And I 63 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:57.040 thought he smelled blood in the water in the second half, and the Clippers 64 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.319 came out with the right mindset. They were only up six at the half, 65 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.920 and then early in the third quarter, all of a sudden, they're 66 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:09.279 up by twenty three. It wasn't all just Kawhi Leonard, a Viza Zoo. 67 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.639 Boss was really good in the third really good in the game. He 68 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.560 was great in the game. Actually played thirty three minutes big Zoo playing big 69 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:19.639 minutes, fifteen points, eleven boards. In those thirty three minutes, he 70 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:25.600 was a plus thirty three on the court. Nobody else was even close to 71 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:30.279 that. His impact was huge on both ends when he plays this big, 72 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.079 and it's something we've seen all season long. But he's got a nasty streak 73 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:39.079 in him now that we didn't see before the last couple of years. Last 74 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:43.800 year with the Clippers and with the Lakers before that. He plays to his 75 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:48.120 size now and that's why he's one of the biggest or best rim protectors in 76 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:55.920 the league. He is the second best when it comes to opponents shooting percentage 77 00:05:55.959 --> 00:06:00.399 within six feet. He's holding guys to about forty percent in that stricted area. 78 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.240 That's incredible. That was right behind brook Lopez. In the regular season 79 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:10.279 for the Milwaukee Bucks, Paul George finishes with fifteen points. Didn't shoot the 80 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.439 ball great, but still was out there doing other things. Was in foul 81 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:15.879 trouble through most of it. He was a plus twenty two, had fourteen 82 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.000 of those points in the first half. He got off to a hot start, 83 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.920 had seven points early on, but got into foul trouble. And then 84 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:29.879 one of the storylines was Marcus Morris Senior being ejected. He had nine points 85 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.000 in the first eleven minutes, but in that final minute of the first quarter, 86 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:40.680 he had a hard foul on Luca Danchich where he hit him over the 87 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:45.720 left shoulder, and he was ejected. They called it a flagrant two. 88 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.560 I think their history in this series preceded the call. I think that played 89 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:57.240 a role and it wasn't a play on the basketball, and obviously that can't 90 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.519 happen in a big game like this. Well, my guess is Marcus Morris 91 00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.680 is going to own it and move on. Those two guys were drawing back 92 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:10.639 and forth really from Game one on because Marcus was one of their most effective, 93 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:15.399 if not their most effective defender on Luca Donchich when not many guys were 94 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.839 able to make a difference because well, he had a ridiculous, historic coming 95 00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:24.839 out party type series that elevated him from I think a top ten players and 96 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:27.879 now people talking about him being a top five player in the league at just 97 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.279 twenty one years of age, especially after that Game four comeback where he hit 98 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:36.639 the three pointer, the twenty seven footer. But overall, the Clippers were 99 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:42.040 able to weather the storm, only up six a couple minutes into the fourth 100 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.720 quarter, and it was Kawhi Leonard leading them, and Landry Shammon hit a 101 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:49.240 big three. Reggie Jackson hit three three pointers in the fourth. Jamichael Green 102 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:54.519 had his moments. When Marcus Morris went out at the end of that first 103 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:59.600 quarter, Jamichael Green was inserted and he had seven points early in the second 104 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.199 energy and was a spark out there for them. And he didn't even score 105 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.040 in Game five. I thought his fifteen minutes. To have seven points in 106 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.720 fifteen minutes, those were huge five boards and we saw this. I think 107 00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:15.399 it was back in Game four, but when he had a smaller defender on 108 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:20.639 him on the block, he punished him. He had Luca Donchag on him 109 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.680 and he went right through him to the basket. And there was another play 110 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.639 in the second quarter where Kawhi Leonard and this is what you gotta like about 111 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.680 the Clippers. They have two superstars that are two way superstars that also do 112 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:35.159 the little things. They are on the floor and that both of them were 113 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:39.720 in this game. They were getting elbow burns on the floor going for loose 114 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:46.279 balls. Kawhi Leonard in the second quarter recovered one and founder Michael Greene for 115 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:48.960 a dunk. And then in the fourth quarter Pg. Thirteen, with about 116 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.919 five minutes left, was going on to the floor like he was Dennis Rodman 117 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.200 for a loose ball. You'll love to see that. It's going to take 118 00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:03.120 that type of mindset to win a championship. Clippers take a step in that 119 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:09.240 direction with a six game series victory over the Dallas Mavericks. They win one 120 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.759 eleven to ninety seven. Coming up next, we'll get to your phone calls 121 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:16.919 here at eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two 122 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.399 zero eleven fifty, and you'll hear from the head coach Doc Rivers postgame. 123 00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.480 Clippers win in six games over the Dallas Mavericks. They move on. We 124 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.840 don't know about their second round opponent yet. If Utah wins tonight, it'll 125 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.440 be them, and Game one of the second round will take place Tuesday night. 126 00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.679 If Denver extends that series out, who knows? All right, more 127 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:48.960 Clipper stock coming up next right here on the Patriot Am eleven fifty. Your 128 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:54.440 Los Angeles Clippers are moving on after a one eleven to ninety seven series, 129 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.799 closing out victory in Game six over the Dallas Mavericks. Welcome back into Clippers 130 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.200 Stock. I'm out of Moslin to eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty 131 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.840 eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. Coming up this segment, you'll 132 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.799 hear from the head coach Doc Rivers post game. Well, let's go to 133 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:16.919 He's sham in Fountain Valley, he sham? What's up here on Clipper Stock? 134 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:20.480 Hey Adam, thanks for taking my call and thanks for interacting with all 135 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.639 of clippernessition on Twitter. I just wanted to make a comment that it seems 136 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:28.120 like there's like this recurring theme of you know Clippers, you know, taking 137 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.039 strong control of games and then slowly, you know, kind of giving us 138 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:35.120 all a hard heart attack with the you know, lead losses. And then 139 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.159 there also seems to be this you know, correlating observation that like this lineup 140 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.080 of Harold Williams and Jackson just not working out. So it's not so much 141 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.159 that I have a question, but I'm just like, I would love to 142 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.879 be like a fly on the wall in one of those coaches meetings. He's 143 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:56.159 sham, I appreciate the phone call. It's a good observation. Monster Trez 144 00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.399 has struggled defensively overall since returning, but remember he just got back into the 145 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:07.279 bubble right before this series started, so he's still rounding into form, rounding 146 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.720 into shape. And he was a minus nineteen out there, and when Dallas 147 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.159 made their runs, he was on the court. And give credit to Rick 148 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.320 Carlisle, he was one of my X factors in this series coming into it. 149 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.919 He's such a great strategist. What he was doing is whenever Zoobos was 150 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.440 on the floor, he wouldn't put Boban out there to match up with him. 151 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.919 He'd wait for them to go small. He'd wait to see Monster Trez 152 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:33.879 and then he'd attack with Bobi and that was effective for the most part in 153 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:39.480 this series for the Dallas Mavericks. I thought last game Monster Trez was much 154 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:45.960 better in that area, but he definitely struggled to a four four points last 155 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:48.720 game. He was doing some of these little things. It's still gonna take 156 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.879 time. But the good thing is as the Clippers are still building that chemistry 157 00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.159 and guys are coming back together and we're still waiting for Patrick Beverley, they're 158 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:03.039 winning games because margin for error, as the great Don McClain would say, 159 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:07.720 is so wide. It's a chasm between them and I think everybody else in 160 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.559 the league. When they're playing the right way, when they're moving the basketball, 161 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:15.440 when they're shooting like they did in Game five, which of course was 162 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.159 historic and tough to replicate. But still they went eleven of twenty nine, 163 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:24.240 that's thirty eight percent from three in this game, and they hit timely threes 164 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.039 when they needed them to keep the Dallas Mavericks at arm's length. Let's go 165 00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.440 to Tagis, Tajis and Walnut. You're on Clippers stock with Adam Aslin. 166 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:39.200 Hey, Adam, when you speak of timely threes, I think I think 167 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:43.080 Reggie Jackson made a lot throughout the series. I know he had his bad 168 00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:48.480 moments, but when he wasn't forcing the issue, and when he caught the 169 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.480 ball and he was just letting it go, not doing too much, his 170 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.840 three point shot was actually he had a lot of key three throughout the series. 171 00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:00.759 So shout out to Reggie for you know, staying in there and not 172 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:05.399 keeping his head down like you said, Joe Michael. He scored those five 173 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.159 points in a row when Morris got ejected. I thought that kind of you 174 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:16.519 know, kept them even kill and taking the pressure off. And I like 175 00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.600 what they did is they exploited a lot of the mismatches. When things got 176 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.840 slow, they would either post up Kauai, Paul George, and I think 177 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.120 Marcus did a lot throughout the series when he had the ball, and I 178 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:33.600 think they will keep doing that going forward because they have mismatches pretty much against 179 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:39.399 all the short guards and I think that's really a big advantage that they have. 180 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.799 And I wanted to see what you thought about Utah and Denver. Who 181 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:46.559 do you like for the Clippers? Tayges, thank you for the phone call. 182 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.360 I think both teams are dangerous, but The one team I've talked about 183 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:56.039 all really season long when I came on with Rogan and Rodney was the Utah 184 00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:00.559 Jazz. If any team, and I don't think it's possible, if any 185 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:05.720 team could upset the Western Conference that we're all looking forward to, hopefully with 186 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:09.879 the Clippers taking on the Los Angeles Lakers, I think Utah could be that 187 00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.559 team, but they lost Bockdanovitch and that really hurt them. However, once 188 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.679 again, Donovan Mitchell has taken his game to another level in the playoffs, 189 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.720 similar to what we've seen with Luca don Chich. Donovan Mitchell had fifty seven 190 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.679 points in Game one of that series. They lost, but he looks like 191 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.360 the same guy from two years ago when they took out the Okse Thunder in 192 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.960 the first round in six games. I think Utah's the better team there, 193 00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:43.600 but both teams present problems, of course, and Rudy Gobert is a unique 194 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:48.840 player that and we talked about this postgame with Noah Eagle. The differences between 195 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:54.159 him and Nikola Yokich are pretty stark. One is an offensive savant and the 196 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:58.919 other is the stifle tower and one of the best defensive players modern best defense 197 00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:03.600 really big men that we've seen. We'll take a quick break here, we'll 198 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:07.600 come back. We'll get some more of your phone calls. Eight seven seven 199 00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:13.559 five two zero eleven fifty eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. The 200 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:18.279 Clippers win and win the series against the Dallas Mavericks after winning Game six one 201 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:22.960 eleven to ninety seven. More Clipper stock coming up right here on the Patriot 202 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:28.919 Am eleven fifty, Leonard backing him down with the left hedy drible double comes 203 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.039 from Burke. Blop it to the nearside corner, Shammon outside Jackson, A 204 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:37.279 left wink three is on the way. He got it to go. Reggie 205 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.720 Jackson his third three of the game and the Clippers lead one oh five eighty 206 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.399 nine. George goes into his chest outside Jackson, all right, wink three, 207 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.919 he's open, and he got it again. Reggie Jackson confidence shooter, 208 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.639 his four three of the game and the Clippers lead one to eleven ninety six. 209 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.679 Reggie Jackson had three of his four three pointers in the fourth quarter that 210 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:02.559 helped put this one away in this series away. The Clippers are moving on 211 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:06.919 to the second round. They win one eleven to ninety seven in Game six 212 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:11.679 over the Dallas Mavericks and our color Tagus here on Clippers Stock, I'm out 213 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.159 of Maslin eight seven seven five two zero eleven fifty. But Tagus brought up 214 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:19.559 a good point about Reggie Jackson and just how hot he was from distance in 215 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:23.399 the series, even though yes, he struggled defensively at times, but he 216 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:29.799 ended up going sixteen of twenty eight from deep in this six game series. 217 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:34.240 That's fifty seven percent. Rick in La Rick. What's up here? On 218 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:37.919 Clippers Stock? How are you hey? What's up? Man? I? 219 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:45.120 I like the way the Clippers came out, didn't give MAVs a chance to 220 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:49.519 really extend the series, just like though the intensity they played with Kawai obviously 221 00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:55.279 once again the MVP of probably not only the series right now, key of 222 00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:57.000 the playoffs, with the way he's playing. I'd just like to see the 223 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:03.200 consistency once again. Pg uh still struggling there. I know you have the 224 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.079 breakout game last night, tonight's today's really struggle. Right about Reggie Jackson, 225 00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:11.640 I like seeing that out of him. Hopefully we get Beverly back soon. 226 00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.640 I think they're gonna need it. As far as the Mavericks, never, 227 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:19.200 I think a much better team than conceded. If you're the Mavericks, you 228 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:22.640 gotta be concerned. You've gotta get yourself a number two guys, because I 229 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:25.440 think they can be right up there with the Clippers and Lakers the team being 230 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:29.039 contended. You can't rely on the Porzingis. As far as the next series, 231 00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:32.599 I think I think Utah would actually be the better, easier matchup for 232 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:36.920 the Clippers because I just think they're They're not as explosive offensive as great as 233 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.720 Mitchell is. I just think without having a shooter like Barzanovitch and Go Bears 234 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:45.640 more of a in the flow offensive guy. I just think that you want 235 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:48.559 them to see them in the next series as supposed to the Nuggets, who 236 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:52.599 I think can be a lot more explosive and they have the weapons, who 237 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:56.279 can who can stay with the Clippers And I think a guy like uh Michael 238 00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.000 Porter Junior and Joke Kits and a guy like Murray who can drop forty plus 239 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.759 on any given game. I just think they are tougher matchups. So if 240 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.559 you're the Clippers, don't you think Utah You're rooting for Utah to win the 241 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.200 series? The smash year and see they're gonna win. I think that Denver 242 00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:14.680 gagged a couple of those games there. They should probably be up three to 243 00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:17.359 two right now. What are your thoughts in terms of the next run. 244 00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:22.559 I really do think that Utah's is the easier series to me. Your thoughts 245 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:25.759 on that. Here's what's interesting, Rick, You bring up a good point. 246 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:30.599 All that firepower with the Denver Nuggets, it would more closely simulate what 247 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:36.119 we saw with this Dallas Mavericks team compared to the Utah Jazz that play a 248 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:41.000 more contrasting defensive style of ball. The game would be slowed down. We'd 249 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:44.759 see a lot more more. I think of Visa zoobots consistently in that series 250 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:49.440 because of Rudy Gobert. But yeah, they are lacking offense. Although Mike 251 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:55.039 Conley Junior has been much better than he was all season long once he got 252 00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:57.559 inside the bubble. We'll see. Be careful what you wish for. I 253 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:02.640 think both teams are very dangerous, but I think the Clippers can get to 254 00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:06.720 a level that no other team can match them at when they're playing their best 255 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:08.759 basketball. Let's hear from the head coach, Doc Rivers. First. We 256 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:11.559 will get back to your phone calls. Mitch hold On, Jeff hold On, 257 00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:15.119 But I want to hear from Doc Rivers post game after the Clippers win 258 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:19.319 Game six and this series over the Dallas Mavericks with a one eleven to ninety 259 00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:23.640 seven victory. Hey, Doc, congrats on the series. When just your 260 00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:27.279 overall thoughts on I guess some of the challenges Dallas presenting, how you guys 261 00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:30.640 counted them throughout the series. It looks like their bench gave you a lot 262 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.119 of trouble throughout the series, but you guys found ways, especially trapping Luca, 263 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:37.200 to make it difficult for them. Yeah. I mean, I though 264 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.279 you ever want to have a great opponent, but they are the most efficient 265 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:48.240 offensive team in league history, and they're a ell of an organization. They 266 00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.839 got a great coach, and they have Luca, a great scoring So for 267 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.519 us, they've presented all those challenges, and I will I thought we grew 268 00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:00.839 through the through the series. You know, the little bit of adversity early 269 00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:04.839 on was very good for us. We haven't had any all year, so 270 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:11.319 I look at that as good positive growth. And then I thought our guys 271 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.119 really start focusing in on the last two games, especially with the different schemes 272 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:18.039 coming out of timeouts. I mean, Rex and Tied did a great job 273 00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.359 every time out. We tried to show them a different look, and I 274 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:27.559 thought it was attractive. I'm over to home and Doc, congrats on the 275 00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:32.079 win. How do you feel you guys are at where you guys are at 276 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:34.000 right now entering the second round? Are they where you want to be at 277 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:37.960 this point in the playoffs? You know, it's hard to tell because we 278 00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.839 keep having these guys out. You know, hopefully we can get past back 279 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:45.240 from game one, we can get back to our normal rotations. But there 280 00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:48.119 was a lot of little guys. I mean, Kauhi was phenomenal throughout this 281 00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.160 whole series. I thought he was dominant, and then PG picked it up, 282 00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.880 you know, greatly after the first two games. But there were so 283 00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.559 many other little other things of guys that I thought marks Out was not only 284 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:04.880 just a good player, was an instigator. You know, Zoom had the 285 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:08.680 playoff of his life, so Sham and Reggie makes a big shots. So 286 00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:14.720 I liked how we looked in that way that other guys contributed. Your Los 287 00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:18.599 Angeles Clippers seemed to be peaking at the right time. They dealt with some 288 00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:23.720 adversity that Game four loss with Luca Doncher just going off for forty three points 289 00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:27.599 and that three pointer to win it. It was a best of three, 290 00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:33.000 but they would win two in a row and close this thing out looking like 291 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:38.519 a dominant, elite basketball team that can win it all this season. I 292 00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:41.680 don't think they're satisfied just getting to the second round. They're just getting started. 293 00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:47.160 Clippers win and close out this series over the Dallas Mavericks with a one 294 00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:51.200 eleven ninety seven victory in Game six. Coming up next, we'll get back 295 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:55.079 to your phone calls eight seven, seven, five two zero eleven fifty. 296 00:21:55.720 --> 00:22:00.759 You're listening to Clipper Stock here on the Patriot Am eleven fifty. Your Los 297 00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:07.680 Angeles Clippers are advancing to the second round of the twenty twenty NBA Playoffs after 298 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.799 they win in six games over the Dallas Mavericks. In Game six, they 299 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.039 would win one eleven to ninety seven. Before we get out of here, 300 00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:21.279 Mitch in New Jersey, you're on Clippers Stock with Adam Oslin time. Mitch, 301 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.960 Hey, hey, do an animal cripps beans? Good? I agree 302 00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.200 with that fathers the Utah because with Michael Porter they got a lot of the 303 00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:34.039 power. But to me, he's long and support George to be himself. 304 00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:37.200 And he's only had a really one good game. And when I see I 305 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.960 think when Mantrez Harold has a double double and Zubak had a double double, 306 00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:45.200 I think we're sitting pretty and I don't. And then I don't think the 307 00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:48.319 Lakers might not be able to handle that. The Rockets. I didn't. 308 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:52.279 The Rockets got the best backcourt with Gordon ex Clipper there. I didn't thinks 309 00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:56.000 are just looking at the Clippers is so deep. It's incredible match. Thank 310 00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:00.440 you for the phone call. You know what, I'm rooting for the Utah 311 00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.839 Jazz and Denver Nuggets to beat each other up and take that series to seven 312 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:06.559 games. I think that's what I'm rooting for, and giving the Clippers then 313 00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:11.440 a little more time off before that second round Stars, before we get out 314 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:17.519 of here. Jeff in Tarzana, Jeff, Yeah, that's right, Jeff. 315 00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:19.880 Where you've been, Well, you know what, you had the Dodgers 316 00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:23.119 Man Factor station, No, no, no, When the Dodgers are on, 317 00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:26.200 they're on five seventy and we'll be right here on the Patriot AM eleven 318 00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:32.400 fifty. I'd rather have the Dodgers look the Clippers are gonna win the championship. 319 00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:34.359 The Dodgers are gonna show. Oh, Jeff, why are you gotta 320 00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:40.880 be like that? Can't both teams win this year? Pardon? Both teams 321 00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:44.519 can win this year. The Dodgers are just as deep as the Clippers, 322 00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:48.519 Adam, I'm a Clipper fan. I'm not a Dodgers fan, all right, 323 00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:49.400 Jeff, Well, let's stick with the Clippers. Then? What'd you 324 00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:52.279 like from the seie? You know what? You know what? I don't 325 00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:56.400 understand? Landry Shammon's one of the best shooters, am I correct? He 326 00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.079 is. He's been a little bit inconsistent at times a season in and out 327 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.799 of the lineup, with various injuries, and he's a better defensive player than 328 00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:08.759 Reggie Jackson Myles so correct. H Yeah, I'd say for the most party 329 00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:14.920 years. Okay, Now, Reggie did a fantastic job, but I don't 330 00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:18.640 think Doc is giving Landry enough minutes to play well. He played thirty eight 331 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:23.319 tonight. That's pretty good. He played thirty eight minutes tonight, Yes, 332 00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:26.839 he did. What game were you watching, Jeff? Do you know what 333 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:32.880 I must have been? He was practically invisible compared to Reggie Jackson. I 334 00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:37.319 thought at the research he would be off the bench before Reggie Jackson would be 335 00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:42.559 what were They were plush with Reggie in the lineup and a minus with Landry 336 00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:45.799 in the lineup. I appreciate the phone call, Jeff. They were a 337 00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:52.640 plus twenty one with Landry Shammitt a minus five with Reggie Jackson. But he 338 00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:57.039 did hit three three pointers in the fourth quarter. He closed out the game. 339 00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:03.599 Landry's been starting with Pat Beverly out for now. Hopefully the Wolverine mister 340 00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:07.599 ninety four feet will be all healed up by the time the second round starts. 341 00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:11.119 It is dependent on what happens between Utah and the Denver Nuggets of Utah 342 00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.480 wednesdnight, we'll have gained one of the second round starting on Tuesday. Before 343 00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:19.079 we get out of here, I do want to thank the Clippers organization. 344 00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:26.720 Be great, Noah Eagle, Brian Seaman, Ralph Lawler.
