1 00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:11,519 What is going on? Welcome and said clips in dim season two episode seventy 2 00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:15,439 Big seven to oh for the second season. Do you have no idea how 3 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,879 many episodes the season is, but we've done seventy in the second season so 4 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,199 far. Welcome to hopefully your favorite Clippers podcast. I am Chuck Flockler, 5 00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:27,760 joined by Adam Oslin and William Updyke. We have the full trio here bringing 6 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,519 you today's episode. We're gonna talk Key's the game too, what the Mas 7 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,560 might do differently. We got a high five, which is gonna be very 8 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,560 fun. But before we get into all of that, we want to thank 9 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,799 everyone for listening and for watching. If you're subscribing to the YouTube, come 10 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,840 hang out. We're doing a live after the game tomorrow. We did one 11 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,840 after the game yesterday or two days ago. It was very fun. Will 12 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,439 was on a racetrack, Adam was in the stadium. Before we get into 13 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,240 it, fellas, how you're doing, Will, You were experiencing the Clippers 14 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,119 game in the bay. I'm sure they were going crazy for the Clippers win 15 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,719 over the MAVs. How you doing. I'm doing really good man? That 16 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,680 was It was a great game one. It kind of got a little got 17 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,879 a little close for comfort in the second half, But overall, I thought 18 00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:11,840 the Clippers looked really really good, really really dominant. We'll see how they 19 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:18,519 counter like especially of eatsa zoobots, and we'll see how that's gonna gonna go 20 00:01:18,719 --> 00:01:21,920 moving forward. But yeah, there wasn't a lot of excitement in the Old 21 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,400 Bay area for the Clippers. Most of the conversation really revolved around how Kawhi 22 00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:30,680 Leonard never plays. I'm gonna my voice got a little shrill, saying he 23 00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:34,120 played more than sixty five games this year, shouting at old man at the 24 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,840 race track. Yeah, that's fine, fine. Why don't they worry about 25 00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:42,959 them playing in a seven game series and making it out of the play en 26 00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:46,120 up there in Oaktown, up there in San Francisco instead of with the Golden 27 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,760 State Warriors. Why are they so concerned about Kawhi? Let us be concerned 28 00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:53,439 about Kawahi because we are, Adam, how are you doing? You were 29 00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:57,480 taking I'm assuming some happy callers over on Clippers Talk. Yeah, people were 30 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,920 in a good mood, celebratory mood post game, but it wasn't out of 31 00:02:00,959 --> 00:02:05,920 control. They had things in perspective, knowing it was just Game one. 32 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,840 But it was a great victory by the Clippers in the manner they want. 33 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:15,000 I thought it was. It was wonderful all around. We mentioned Kawhi. 34 00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:21,120 The injury update did come out from the Clippers today. On the report he's 35 00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:27,400 questionable. Not a big shocker there. Tylu also mentioned that Kawi will go 36 00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:30,039 through practice today, but the Clippers aren't doing any contact. It's more of 37 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,479 a walkthrough. Well, I don't know how you feel about this, but 38 00:02:35,479 --> 00:02:38,319 I feel like it's a pretty low chance he's playing tomorrow night, would be 39 00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:43,639 my guess. Yeah, I would say pretty low. I mean even in 40 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,159 the worst case scenario. Snagging Game one bought them an extra week of rest 41 00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:53,120 for Kawhi, So we'll see how he progresses and how that goes. Look, 42 00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:57,840 I mean, if he's still not doing any contact, I have failed 43 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,759 to see how he would be available for Game two, So yeah, I 44 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,840 would the MAVs this time can get their plan right and go ahead and probably 45 00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:10,560 assume that he's not going to be there. They were soused, very very 46 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,039 tough for Jason Kidd God ridiculous, A lot to wrap your head around. 47 00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:21,240 I'm not hearing that excuse from the Dallas Mavericks post game and Luka doncicch or 48 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,960 Kyrie Irving when I was in the presser and so was Chuck with Jason Kids 49 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:30,199 saying pregame how well prepared they were for the Clippers not having Kawhi Leonard. 50 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,879 They made it sound like this is no issue. They've almost had two weeks 51 00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:38,560 to game plan for this, so using that is kind of an excuse. 52 00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:42,319 The way Luca and the way Kyrie Irving were talking about a postgame, I 53 00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:46,039 found that surprising, to say the least, especially from loser behavior. Let's 54 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:51,240 call it what it is. That's loser behavior, bad coaching. Bad coaching 55 00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:53,919 is what it is. I've heard that from MAVs fans. MAVs fans, 56 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,240 the ones who still comment on our videos, they didn't comment as much after 57 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,159 the game won. We're voicing some some distrust of perhaps some decision making from 58 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:08,879 Jason Kidd, which I just thumbs up and liked every comment because I couldn't 59 00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:12,159 agree more. Tyler's a much better coach. I don't know if what happened 60 00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:15,840 in that first half was so much bad coaching by Jason Kidd, but just 61 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,160 a lot of mishots by the Dallas Mavericks and a lot of made shots by 62 00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:23,360 the Clippers. To be fair, it's not sustainable that Dallas is ever going 63 00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:26,560 to have another half in this series where they shoot twenty two percent from the 64 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,480 field, where they go two of eighteen from three. That's very unlikely to 65 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,040 happen again. But that's the game you have to win. And the Clippers 66 00:04:33,079 --> 00:04:38,399 were playing great defense. They played a role in that. Dallas also played 67 00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:41,279 a role. They just had an off night. Yeah, totally. We're 68 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,560 going to talk about some of the other shooting things from the Clippers side when 69 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,879 we talk about kind of what maybe concerns we have for Game two. But 70 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,800 right now, I believe we have yet another playoff edition, the first in 71 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:58,199 playoff edition of Adam Oslin's High five. What are you going to show us 72 00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:03,680 today? Adam five highlights from game one. A couple of low lights in 73 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,920 there, but it's the high five, so we're calling them highlights here. 74 00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:11,160 You guys got the screen up to me. Nothing in the high five? 75 00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:16,759 Yeah, well, I obviously sometimes there's gonna be some bad plazer in here. 76 00:05:16,399 --> 00:05:21,279 School of coaching, there's no low lights. It's all highlights. Everyone 77 00:05:21,639 --> 00:05:27,759 win forever. Uh, let's start things off with the first possession of the 78 00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:30,839 ballgame for the Clippers. Here in the high five, this is Paul George 79 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,240 missing a near side corner three. Somebody Chuck said was bad in the ballgame. 80 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,800 I disagreed with that. He had eleven other twenty two points in the 81 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,959 fourth quarter. But that's neither here nor there. Paul George missing this shot 82 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,319 to start things off. Look at Terrence Man and the way he's able to 83 00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:47,759 get in between two guys there. They have three guys in the basket, 84 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:56,199 Doncic, Gafford and Kyrie Irving, and not one of them is available to 85 00:05:56,319 --> 00:06:00,120 box out Terrence Man on this board. On this offensive rebound, he ended 86 00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:04,519 up with four of them. That's when you hear Jason kids say postgame, 87 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:10,160 we lacked physicality, something coach Lutof's about all the time. They just looked 88 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,839 asleep out there. They looked like the team that eased their way into this 89 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,839 ball game what coach lou was concerned about. They looked like the team that 90 00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:23,360 had trouble with Matt and Ay early starts. I just it was really wild 91 00:06:23,439 --> 00:06:26,120 to see, and it led to their first bucket here from a mere coffee 92 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,759 as he looked to his right looked off to the defender as Washington looked towards 93 00:06:29,879 --> 00:06:32,439 James Harden and then it was a mere coffee knocked down the first very but 94 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:40,720 tom esque play. I thought, Yeah, I was surprised that the Clippers 95 00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:45,920 only want had like a ten percent rebound advantage. Uh, because watching this 96 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,920 game, it just certainly seemed like they were dominant on the glass. They 97 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,160 were the sharpest I feel like they've looked in a while. Yeah, that 98 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,519 is a good call. Terrence Man was great, and that was part of 99 00:06:58,519 --> 00:07:01,720 the game plan from coach lou and he was masterful with everything, pushing all 100 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,959 the right buttons, taking the right timeouts, the right atos coming out of 101 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,519 timeouts yesterday. But I'm sure part of the game plan was, Okay, 102 00:07:09,639 --> 00:07:12,759 Luca's gonna be on you, Terrence Man. You gotta crash, You gotta 103 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,759 do the little things and make him have to try to keep up with you, 104 00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:18,680 and for the most part he could. Now, let's talk about Big 105 00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:27,439 Zoo, my X factor. I think a ceiling razer for this team if 106 00:07:27,519 --> 00:07:30,600 they go deep and make a long run. I beatsa Zubats can be someone 107 00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:34,879 who really carries them at times. I don't know why he's not featured more. 108 00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:39,680 I've been talking about this for years, but especially this season, they 109 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,879 just seem to forget about it. Beatsa zubots sometimes not in this game. 110 00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:48,160 More game plan brilliance from coach lou He's got Gafford on him. We talked 111 00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:54,959 about it leading into this game. Gafford smaller, Derek Lively smaller too. 112 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,680 How are they gonna match up against Aviata zubats and I think three of the 113 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,399 first four plates they went to big Zoo. He gets it on the block, 114 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,199 and I don't think people understand just how skilled he is. He backs 115 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,920 him down, but then he makes it look like he's going to the right 116 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,720 handed hook and comes back with the left. Here, that's not an easy 117 00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:20,879 shot he's I guess in San Francisco they would call that amphibian amidexrous he is. 118 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,560 He can work it with both hands. There they said that amphibian picture 119 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,040 that one time he threw with both hands. They meant, there's a picture 120 00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:31,399 so Abiza's hard pivot. Sorry, in Mississippi State, there's a picture has 121 00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:35,320 an ambidextrious glove and he's throwing with both hands right now, super crazy. 122 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:41,799 Sorry, Well, Avitza's Zoo Boss could probably do some of that too, 123 00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:46,559 because the post work he was doing in this game against guys he's just bullying 124 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:52,399 him and bodying him. Gafford could do nothing here. It was honestly as 125 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,840 impressive of a start a little bonus one here, backs them down again, 126 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,279 keeps the pivot foot with the left foot, just puts it up again. 127 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,919 By the way, with the left hand. This guy's far too skilled. 128 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,720 I've jokingly said for a long time he's the long lost Gasol brother, but 129 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,440 in this series he kind of needs to be because it seems like there's a 130 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,000 real mismatch the Clippers can continue to exploit. Hopefully. Here here's some playoff 131 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,559 basketball. This is something you just don't see in the regular season, and 132 00:09:22,919 --> 00:09:30,080 it's a mere coffee setting a screen at half court on PJ. Washington because 133 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,440 they're picking up James Harden full court, which is something the Clippers were doing 134 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,559 on the other side. That's the Toom esque, by the way, trying 135 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,440 to wear out a guy's legs their point guard at each and every time up. 136 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,799 That has a cumulative effect, but it ends up getting the switch for 137 00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:50,200 James Harden. On this play against Luka Doncic's They were going right at him 138 00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:56,120 from the very beginning. He gets the little shoulder shove in there and knocks 139 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,279 down the three pointer, just boom hits them with the left shoulder. Wasn't 140 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,039 ready for that. He's moving a guy who's like, what to sixty? 141 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,559 I don't know how big is Luka Doncics out there? Three ten? I'd 142 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,799 put it. I tell I tell people he's three hundred and thirty pounds. 143 00:10:11,799 --> 00:10:18,320 Yeah, on a good day. I just James Harden was in his bag 144 00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:22,799 early. But they were as we had hoped, spamming going right at Luka 145 00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:24,919 Doncis, trying to make him play defense, trying to make Kyrie Irving play 146 00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:30,240 defense. Sometimes you just get away from it, you know, there isn't 147 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,639 that game plan discipline. But the Clippers were completely focused and dialed in this 148 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,559 game. Guys. It just felt like throughout the entire game they were executing 149 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,159 about as well as they could. What coach that was asking for. We 150 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,799 heard it in the pregame. It was we're ready, and that's what Tyler 151 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,559 kept reiterating, was we're ready. This team's ready to go. There's no 152 00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:52,080 fuel out game here. We're not doing that. We can't do that, 153 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,879 and it was Yeah, it was great in the first half. No time 154 00:10:56,919 --> 00:11:00,759 to go down zero to two to the Dallas Mavericks again. Here's some bad 155 00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:03,559 defense though. As I say that, Coach Lou earlier today talked about them 156 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:11,799 having twenty six points given up on game plan mistakes, and this is something 157 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:16,639 I think one of the plays he was talking about here. I'm not sure 158 00:11:16,919 --> 00:11:20,559 why Amir Coffee is sagging so far. I know he's trying to shade over 159 00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:24,080 and help out with Terrence Man on Luka Doncic, but with the position he's 160 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,840 in, it's not going to be a three pointer. And Coach Lou was 161 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,600 talking about in the second half they dropped some of their game plan assignments because 162 00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:35,200 they just didn't want to give up threes to let Dallas back into the ballgame. 163 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,000 Terrence Man shades over so much, and it's just something you can't do 164 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,279 anymore against Dallas when there's someone else like Kyrie Irving here. And look, 165 00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:46,039 Ifviatza zubots is already over for help and Terrence Mann is in good position, 166 00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:50,320 Emir's got to stay a little bit, a little bit more home on his 167 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,960 man in Kyrie Irving, who ends up syncing that three pointer and got going 168 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000 in the third quarter where he had twenty points on eight of eight shooting, 169 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,879 and I think that was his first bucket. Yeah, that sec that quarter. 170 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,840 It was like I talked about we talked about the stream a little bit, 171 00:12:03,919 --> 00:12:07,039 right, Well, like it's like Kyrie can do that. It's like 172 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,039 still it's an anomaly, but also something that can happen, if that makes 173 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,279 sense, Like the perfect quarter from Kyriek. Obviously it was incredible, but 174 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:18,360 is that an anomaly? I feel like a perfect quarter for twenty points is 175 00:12:18,759 --> 00:12:22,039 pretty Yeah. Yeah, maybe, but it's like in that but like, 176 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,440 I mean, he's a he's a huge he's a big time shot maker. 177 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,399 He's a huge momentum player, like changing player. You know, he could 178 00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:35,159 pull up from all over, all over the floor. So yeah, it's 179 00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:39,240 one of those things. They as as good as they were and as tight 180 00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:41,679 as they were, they weren't perfect. And as we said coming into this 181 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,639 one, you know, it depends on Kui Leonard's availability. But if they're 182 00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:48,480 gonna win this one without him, they're gonna have to be damn near perfect. 183 00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:54,279 Yeah, you could say he was due also after that first half and 184 00:12:54,320 --> 00:13:00,879 they scored thirty points as a team. Unbelievable. Just last clip here in 185 00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:05,039 the high five, another defensive error by the Clippers here after Paul George tries 186 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,879 to go to work. I hope I have the timing right on this twenty 187 00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:15,279 four here, let's see he was very good, obviously, Paul George going 188 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,639 at him. But there was a double drag I'm looking for here where Luka 189 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:24,440 Doncich gets open. I don't think it's this play either, son of a 190 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,080 bitch. I thought I had my time stamps right, guys. I guess 191 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:33,480 I didn't hear my mistake, gameplan mistake by myself. Here there was a 192 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,519 double drag where they let Luka Doncic get off, and it made no sense 193 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:43,279 because Russell Westbrook was playing so far off of him that in the double drag 194 00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:46,200 where you set two screens. And I think I found it right here, 195 00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:50,000 Russ wasn't even guarding his guy Maxi Klee. But here it is right here. 196 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:56,679 So Tarni's man is on Luka Doncic, Russ is on that's my mistake. 197 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,879 Here, Russ is on Kyrie Irving, Zoo is on Maxi cle Irving 198 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,960 comes over to set the screen here on the double drag, he gets the 199 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,720 first one. Kleiba's waiting for the second guy to have to screen, and 200 00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:13,159 Russell Westbrook's not even there. Terrence's man was calling out to russ I think 201 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,320 to switch, but it's already too late, and Luka Doncis just gets to 202 00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:20,600 walk into a three pointer here, and then you see Coach Lou and Terrence 203 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:26,840 Man's talking afterwards. Obvious miscommunication, but you're gonna see this play a lot. 204 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,279 It's pretty common, and especially with Luka Doncics and the Clippers just have 205 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,440 to be better there. Coach Lou was showing his hands like this. I'm 206 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,440 wondering if he was saying, no switch, I want you to fight through 207 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,759 that. I don't know, but there was some sort of miscommunication for Luka 208 00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:46,360 Doncis to just get to walk into a three pointer when they were specifically trying 209 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,200 to force them inside the three point line in the second half. But overall, 210 00:14:50,279 --> 00:14:54,720 that's nitpicking a little bit or maybe foreshadowing to what the Clippers could see 211 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,440 in game two. Is my point of showing those last couple of clips when 212 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,080 they talk about how it can be even better, how they still have stuff 213 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:07,440 to clean up it's defensive miscuse like that. Yeah, I totally agree. 214 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,759 A note about the Zoo thing, the Clippers are thirteen and four when Zoo 215 00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:15,960 plays more than thirty minutes so far the season, which is pretty crazy. 216 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,679 Yeah, I think the screen thing is something we definitely like, dying on 217 00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:24,519 screens as something that's how we get you know, Luka on Zoom minutes and 218 00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:28,919 he missed some of those shots that usually go in for Luca. But yeah, 219 00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:31,639 I know, Will, what are you kind of looking for from game 220 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,080 two? Maybe more from the Clippers. It's kind of tough because it's like 221 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,320 more of the same physicality just for forty eight minutes. Yeah, yeah, 222 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,679 I mean, like, how do you really neutralize him? I mean I've 223 00:15:41,679 --> 00:15:45,240 heard some people maybe talk about Kliba, who did not have a great game 224 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:50,120 one. Still like size wise, I think he's going to struggle with the 225 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,759 Viza Zoo bots. So I think keeping him involved, especially early, is 226 00:15:54,799 --> 00:15:58,360 going to be big again for the Clippers, assuming that they still have that 227 00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:04,440 size mismatch, because you know that that is physically probably their greatest advantage that 228 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,960 I can think of. You know, without a base of subts on the 229 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,399 floor, we didn't see any Tice in game one. We saw Mason plumbly 230 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,240 minutes. But there's just not there's just not a lot of size out there. 231 00:16:15,279 --> 00:16:18,120 And we talk about all the time, like the necessity for getting some 232 00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:22,759 easy buckets. And I thought the ball movement looked a lot better. There 233 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,639 was some stuff, especially late where the Clippers were kind of falling into some 234 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,720 old bad habits offensively, you know, sort of settling for stuff. Uh 235 00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:34,159 just you know, getting getting really late into the shot clock before getting the 236 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:40,000 offense going. Almost had a really bad Paul George turnover where you i know, 237 00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:44,840 all over himself. Oh my god. So just like I said, 238 00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:48,480 like the execution here is you know, it's a great game one. It's 239 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,120 a huge win. Like I'm ecstatic, Like I'm I was ecstatic when it 240 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,360 happened, I'm ecstatic now. I this thing is just beginning. You know, 241 00:16:55,399 --> 00:16:57,399 it's a it's a long road ahead and they're gonna have to stay locked 242 00:16:57,399 --> 00:17:00,679 in. So I'm curious how that was counters. Like I said, like 243 00:17:00,759 --> 00:17:07,039 personnel wise, I'm struggling to see like a whole lot of like rotational stuff 244 00:17:07,039 --> 00:17:11,119 that's going to be able to like really turn the tide here. They played 245 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,599 what ten guys. Kid played ten guys, I think, and Tyler played 246 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:21,279 he shows some of the right Yeah, I played eight yeah, because he 247 00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:23,240 said it's gonna be nine man win quiz back. So yeah, like Jason 248 00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:26,759 Kidd was, this was his feel out game. But I am concerned the 249 00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:32,480 Clippers won, which is a disadvantage in game one, we're being told, 250 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,799 so did the Clippers really win? And so win? I kind of understand 251 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,519 what it was a different coach, Like if TYLERU is not your head coach, 252 00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:45,240 I think it's I think it's a little bit more difficult to to to 253 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,039 take away. Still some key lessons from from a win, especially a win 254 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:52,440 that I mean like for the most part was pretty dominant. They You know 255 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,559 that the Clippers looked I thought, a head and shoulders better than the Mavericks, 256 00:17:55,559 --> 00:18:00,279 obviously only shooting thirty percent from three huge you know the huge fact as 257 00:18:00,319 --> 00:18:06,039 well, but you know how how good they looked. I still think that 258 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:11,480 tylu It isn't done in proving this yet. I was listening actually to the 259 00:18:11,519 --> 00:18:14,960 Low Post before we got on here, and Kevin Arnovitz brought up a really 260 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,440 interesting thing talking about when they ended up when they beat the MAVs in seven, 261 00:18:19,839 --> 00:18:26,160 uh and and then went on to beat Utah in six. Tyleru ran 262 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:32,119 out a longer rotation and a lot of different sort of like machinations because there 263 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,960 was a lot of wing depth there and you know some you know, some 264 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,599 of it was redundant whatever, but there's just less options, you know. 265 00:18:38,799 --> 00:18:42,000 I said that as sort of a drawback for the Mavericks, but I think 266 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,440 in some ways it can be a strength as well, because you don't have 267 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,799 to overthink things. Uh, you know, you have your guy, Yeah, 268 00:18:49,839 --> 00:18:52,359 like you have your guys that they're gonna work, and you know, 269 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,079 you know, it's assuming that you can stick to a game plan, like 270 00:18:56,839 --> 00:19:00,920 you know you're in this, you can stay in this. Yeah, And 271 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:06,680 they stuck to it well for the most part, pretty elleitely. And back 272 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,599 then, I feel so many guys played early on in both those series also 273 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,640 because they were down oh two. They were down oh two to start off, 274 00:19:14,759 --> 00:19:19,039 Lucas cooking, Patrick Beverly their best defender, but he's undersize. Rondo 275 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:25,079 eventually pretty much got phased out of the playoffs, so they were really trying 276 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,640 to find some pieces that could work. I don't know, are they more 277 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:32,440 equipped against Luka Doncic in some ways, at least in the guard department, 278 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,599 with guys who can be thrown at him. When you look at Russell Westbrook, 279 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,000 when you look at Terrence Man, who I guess has looked as more 280 00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:42,799 of a small forward by coach Lee or whatever. But he plays guard. 281 00:19:42,839 --> 00:19:47,079 He guards guards like he can guard a lot of different guys for you. 282 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,480 And we said it. We thought it would be a mere coffee getting the 283 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,920 start, and we were right about that. It made sense because then you 284 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,119 have three guys that can all switch on Luca and Kyrie. Some people were 285 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,039 saying they should go with Powell and lean into offense, and I get what 286 00:20:02,079 --> 00:20:04,359 they're saying there, because you're trying to score with Dallas. But to me, 287 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,079 you don't want those guys to start in rhythm. If you can throw 288 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,400 them off at the beginning of a game, that could put them in that 289 00:20:12,519 --> 00:20:17,119 uphill battle. That's what happened in a very drastic way. Of course, 290 00:20:17,519 --> 00:20:19,559 Again, Dallas is not shooting twenty two percent and a half. Again, 291 00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:22,759 the Clippers may not have another game in this series where they shoot fifty percent 292 00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:26,519 from the outside unless they pull Dallas mavericks from twenty twenty one, where they 293 00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:30,559 started the first three game shooting fifty percent from three. I doubt it. 294 00:20:30,839 --> 00:20:33,960 I don't think it's gonna be a full reversal. We did wonder what if 295 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,559 the Clippers go up to oh this time, Well I would I'm fine with 296 00:20:37,599 --> 00:20:40,440 that as long as it doesn't turn it into Dallas winning this time in Game 297 00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:45,000 seven. I don't want to see the exact opposite of what happened back in 298 00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:47,960 twenty twenty one. But if I'm a fan of the Dallas Mavericks, I'd 299 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,759 be pretty concerned coming out of Game one, not just because of fluky shooting 300 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:57,160 that's not sustainable, but if you can't play the way you did, which 301 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:02,839 got you winning sixteen of eighteen games at the end of the season and got 302 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,839 your defense souped up, and if you can't have Gafford on the floor to 303 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,839 be the team they were, you got big problems. Like I don't see 304 00:21:11,839 --> 00:21:15,079 how they can win this series if they don't play, if they can't replicate 305 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,720 some of what they were doing in the regular season, and that means a 306 00:21:18,759 --> 00:21:22,799 lot of Daniel Gafford and a lot of Derek Lively, and we already saw 307 00:21:22,839 --> 00:21:26,240 in Game one them trying out Maxi Kleiba, because those guys, for the 308 00:21:26,279 --> 00:21:30,880 most part, especially Gafford, were very much ineffective out. Yeah, well, 309 00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:33,680 I was gonna say, and and both of their guys, the leaders 310 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,720 of the offense. I mean, they still got their shots, they still 311 00:21:36,759 --> 00:21:40,559 put up numbers. I mean they combined for over sixty Like is there what 312 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,599 could there? Could there? Will there be a game where they combined for 313 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:48,319 eighty Yeah, I mean yeah, I wouldn't bet against it, But like 314 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:49,559 the degree of variance, you know, I thought, I thought the Clippers 315 00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:53,519 game plan, you know, wearing the essentially wearing those guys out, you 316 00:21:53,559 --> 00:21:56,759 know, trying to let them run some circles around themselves. As long as 317 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,880 you're limiting some of those threes and the and the shots at the rim, 318 00:22:02,079 --> 00:22:04,400 you know, it paid often. If they're able to continue to do that, 319 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,599 I mean, that's gonna wear down. That's gonna be tigresome. The 320 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:15,160 inexperience from the Dallas Mavericks showed in Game one. Outside of Luke and Kyrie 321 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,599 and the great second halves they had, the others they didn't get a great 322 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,279 performance. I thought PJ. Washington was actually really good defensively, especially against 323 00:22:22,279 --> 00:22:26,799 Paul George at times, we're also pressent. It was like the only Maverick 324 00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:30,519 who cared for the whole game to play defense like and he was on his 325 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:37,480 ass multiple times. James Harden put him on the ground using his off arm 326 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,160 and he went over. He gave him nothing on the other end. So 327 00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:47,359 the one way that the Clippers have been constructed for years that has given teams 328 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:52,440 problems is they have more two way guys that can give you something on both 329 00:22:52,559 --> 00:22:55,480 ends. And then you look around the rest of the NBA and whether are 330 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,759 holes, there are flaws. It's there's too many guys that are one dimensional 331 00:22:57,799 --> 00:23:02,799 for teams, and the Clippers haven't had as many issues with that over the 332 00:23:02,839 --> 00:23:04,599 last well in the two and three years. There was a great quote from 333 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:11,000 ty Lou about Coffee, kind of about being able to do offense and defense. 334 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,119 He just on starting Coffee said he'd like to be able to throw somebody 335 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,839 at Kyrie. So PG, with Kawhi being out, doesn't have to worry 336 00:23:17,839 --> 00:23:19,799 about both of them, you know, chasing both Kyrie and Luca around. 337 00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:23,920 He said postgame, you know he's one of our better defenders. He thought 338 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,720 you didake a job. Thought he turned down a couple of shots he normally 339 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,599 takes, which is fair. Ternsaid that a couple of times too. They 340 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,000 were still very effective in game one, but you know he said other than 341 00:23:34,039 --> 00:23:37,000 that, he was pretty good. So coffee's probably going to start again. 342 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:42,440 I have all the every Clippers fan should feel confident about this. In place 343 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,680 of Kawhi. It sucks, obviously the Kauhi is not there, but the 344 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,000 Clippers are doing that thing where everyone's playing plus fifteen percent better. Everyone was 345 00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:53,359 locked in at that level in game one, including a mirror, and it's 346 00:23:53,400 --> 00:24:03,039 been phenomenal. All right, coming up, just like Game one against Phoenix, 347 00:24:03,079 --> 00:24:04,599 Maybe coming up, we're gonna talk about what the maps canna maybe throw 348 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,000 at us with maybe some concerns. We got some ads that might be lowed. 349 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,279 If that's been your case on the audio, go ahead and turn it 350 00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:14,839 down. But ads coming up, and then some concerns and our Kawhi Leonard 351 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:21,240 Honorable X Factor Player of the Game decision maker picks coming up right after this. 352 00:24:22,759 --> 00:24:26,680 All right, welcome back into Clips and Dip. We're talking a little 353 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:33,119 bit more about Game two of MAVs Clippers Man another pivotal one. I guess 354 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,960 I'll kick it to you, Adam, Uh looking ahead, like, what 355 00:24:38,079 --> 00:24:41,599 is there something that sticks out to you as maybe the most concerning for how 356 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:47,839 the MAVs could could could bounce back from that game one. Well, I 357 00:24:47,839 --> 00:24:52,000 think it starts with just Luca and Kyrie getting off to quicker starts. If 358 00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:56,279 both of those guys are going early. I want to say Kyrie started one 359 00:24:56,319 --> 00:25:00,640 for five. Uh, Luca got an easy lay up early. He got 360 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,480 that tough jumper over Terrence Man and then patted him on the back afterwards because 361 00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:07,279 it was so well defended. It was cool to see the nice little exchange 362 00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:11,400 between those two. Terrence Man was smiling a little bit. They go back 363 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,519 aways with their history, going back to Vancouver in that preseason game where they 364 00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:19,640 got into it. But if they just they have to get off to a 365 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,000 faster start. For the Dallas Mavericks, they are the straw that stirs the 366 00:25:23,079 --> 00:25:27,880 drink, the catalysts for this team. They're superstars, and I think that's 367 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:33,279 maybe part of the reason why Dallas only had eight points in that second quarter 368 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,599 and we're breaking wide open threes. When you get down by the amount they 369 00:25:37,599 --> 00:25:41,400 were down that quickly, and your superstars don't look like themselves. That has 370 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,119 a trickle down effect, I think, confidence wise, so the rest of 371 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,279 the role players, because they missed a lot of good looks in that second 372 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,880 quarter. An eight point quarter is not happening again by the Dallas Mavericks in 373 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,440 this series. It's just not. Clippers only had I think twenty two in 374 00:25:55,519 --> 00:25:57,880 that second quarter, but still that's when the game really got away from them. 375 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,880 And it wasn't just us the Clippers playing great defense. Dallas was missing 376 00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:06,599 everything and looked a little bit rattled and shook out there they did. The 377 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,799 crowd was on top of them. Clipper Nation showed up in a big way. 378 00:26:08,839 --> 00:26:11,880 It was really loud in there. It was great to see. But 379 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:18,599 Luca and Kyrie, I expect both of them to start much faster in Game 380 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,359 one, especially well and likewise for the Clippers. I mean, if if 381 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,240 shots aren't falling down, if the offense is a lot harder, are they 382 00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:27,359 going to be able to commit to the same level defensively that we saw in 383 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,559 Game one? Are they going to be able to stick to the game plan? 384 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,440 Because one of the issues I think we've all had with this team is 385 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,880 like sometimes when things get tight, they kind of crumble. They fall apart 386 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,160 a little bit in a way that yeah, it's just it's not it's not 387 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:48,799 very becoming. So it I mean looks and and the switches flipped and and 388 00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:52,119 and it's you know, it looks like things are at a different level of 389 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,519 intensity. But like you know, it's it's easy to have a plan, 390 00:26:55,559 --> 00:26:59,079 I guess until the ship hits the fan. So if they do have you 391 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,400 know, if they if they do have sort of a cold start to this 392 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,640 one of a Clipper start that we've you know, certainly become much more accustomed 393 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,880 to, are they going to be able to still defend at the same level 394 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:15,759 and execute at a high level. The shooting was crazy in Game one from 395 00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:19,240 the Clippers. Lucas Hahn put out these tweets our boss. He said, 396 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,599 the Clippers made eighteen threes on fifty percent shooting in Game one. For this 397 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:29,799 season, they made with Paul George shooting thirty three percent. Yes, yeah, 398 00:27:30,039 --> 00:27:33,480 over this during the season, they made just over twelve and a half 399 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,519 threes per game on thirty eight percent shooting. So, like he said, 400 00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:41,359 they're a good three point shooting team. No one's ever sustained eighteen makes from 401 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,599 fifty percent on deep twelve to fifteen threes on thirty five to forty two percent 402 00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:48,359 shooting is normal for the Clips. Eighteen on fifty percent is one of the 403 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,599 best shooting games all year. Obviously, I don't think anyone expects the Clippers 404 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,319 to shoot fifty percent and make eighteen threes again because part of that is just 405 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,160 rolling and feeling good. So this goes back to kind of the Zeus discuss 406 00:28:00,319 --> 00:28:03,319 too, right, like if things are looking ugly from the outside, will 407 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,680 they commit again to help getting Zoo going right? Like that's as we've been 408 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,440 mentioning, that's the easy bucket. Easy bucket, you know when the threes 409 00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:17,079 cheat code, cheat code, get it to big Zoo, Let him go 410 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,480 to work, believe in him. We said before the series, it's so 411 00:28:21,559 --> 00:28:23,640 important for him to score. So they keep that confidence in him, to 412 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,920 keep him on the court, because before, as good as he was defensively, 413 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,359 if he's not giving you enough on the offensive end, you can think 414 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,359 of other options to throw out there. But if if he's a Zubots is 415 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,720 looking that dominant in the post, you have to keep him on the floor. 416 00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:41,279 So I think it's imperative for him to continue to score. And will 417 00:28:41,319 --> 00:28:47,880 you brought up Paul George a second ago, like I took a cheap shot 418 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:52,839 at at Chuck postgame what he was saying about George. Nothing new there. 419 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,440 I just I saw someone in the comments section going off about Paul George and 420 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:02,200 how why are you guys talking about George like he was so great and this 421 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,079 and that. It was all about James Harden and Russell Westbrook in Game one, 422 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,720 and I think to myself, well, Paul George was missing when everybody 423 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,440 else was making, and then he was making when everyone else was missing. 424 00:29:11,519 --> 00:29:15,640 In that fourth quarter, they only scored twenty two points. On the fourth 425 00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:18,640 he had half of those points. When they took that time out. He 426 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,920 came back with a seven to zero run. He was hitting tough shots, 427 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,720 like, to me, that's a gritty type of playoff line, but also 428 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,839 performance. I know the box scorer he was eight for twenty, but the 429 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,880 timely shots were there when they had to have them against really good defense. 430 00:29:34,279 --> 00:29:40,359 So and also I thought defensively he was incredible for most of the game. 431 00:29:40,839 --> 00:29:45,440 He had a couple he had a couple of stops on the back line where 432 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,039 he was so engaged he was calling out, communicating to guys I thought he 433 00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:53,160 was their defensive anchor. Win Ofvitza Zoo Bots was being pulled out to the 434 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,319 perimeter. Paul George was holding it down like he was Kawhi Leonard out there, 435 00:29:56,359 --> 00:30:00,000 because we know how good he's been on the back line defense all year. 436 00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:03,519 What are the MAVs gonna do about gafferd I was listening to Lockdown MAVs. 437 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:10,920 Their suggestion was to start lively over Gafford. Gafford looked bad against it, 438 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,720 like there's no other way. He was not ready for the physicality. 439 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,799 They were suggesting, start lively over Gafford and cut the rotation, take Xum 440 00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:25,759 out and give Green his minutes. They know more about the MAVs than we 441 00:30:25,799 --> 00:30:29,759 do. I'm just relaying the information. But I wouldn't be surprised if Jason 442 00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:37,079 Kidd doesn't give this a thought because it was rough. But the Clippers flip 443 00:30:37,119 --> 00:30:40,920 the switch and the Mavericks are pushing the panic button. I was gonna say, 444 00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:45,920 like, I feel like you know that that might be a little too 445 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:52,720 soon if you give up on Gafford in game two, and I could see 446 00:30:52,759 --> 00:30:56,359 pulling him after the first stint of Vita Zoos. Does the exact same thing, 447 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,319 and the Clippers are to me though, the change like the change a 448 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,079 starting line up change. Part of this big turnaround by them in the second 449 00:31:04,079 --> 00:31:07,680 half of the season and being one of the hottest teams in the league is 450 00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:11,720 because greatly because of the acquisition of Daniel Gafford. I think to some degree, 451 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,119 you have to live and die with him, like he either performs well 452 00:31:15,119 --> 00:31:18,480 for them because he's such an integral part of their team, or they're not 453 00:31:18,519 --> 00:31:22,920 winning the series. I like, he just has to turn it around. 454 00:31:22,039 --> 00:31:26,240 And it was fourteen minutes. Part of that was because he was getting bullied, 455 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,160 but he also rolled his ankle. He went out because of that. 456 00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:33,599 I don't know. I wouldn't give up on a key piece like that that 457 00:31:33,839 --> 00:31:37,640 early in the series, even if I think Derek Lively can be better, 458 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,839 because he's obviously bigger, he can play too. But I'm still I'm I 459 00:31:41,839 --> 00:31:45,599 don't want to look like I'm in panic mode right off the bat and starting 460 00:31:45,599 --> 00:31:52,279 to be abe else. Even Dante, I don't like the XEM call either. 461 00:31:52,359 --> 00:31:55,200 The guy shot fifty percent from three this season. He came through with 462 00:31:55,279 --> 00:31:57,240 clutch threes against them. Against the Lakers, he had that game winning three 463 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,559 against Houston when they were one, like, I don't think you can give 464 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,559 up on a guy that quick into the series because you might not be able 465 00:32:04,559 --> 00:32:07,400 to get him back if you need the mental thing. And like the locker 466 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,640 room things very real too. They mentioned that on the show. They're like, 467 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,400 we have no idea what it would be like to just tell a guy 468 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,319 who's been starting the whole season, you're playing good defensively, you think, 469 00:32:15,559 --> 00:32:20,559 hey, you're out, you're getting your ass kicks, so we have to 470 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:28,359 switch somebody else out, and I know Zoo look a little more so. 471 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,599 I was looking at their lineups. They only had two positive lineups that played 472 00:32:31,599 --> 00:32:37,839 more than three minutes for plus minus. For the Maps, they played Kyrie 473 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,680 XEM, Luca, PJ and Kliba for six minutes they were plus seven. 474 00:32:42,039 --> 00:32:45,799 And then they played Kyrie X and Luca, PJ and Green for six minutes 475 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:51,119 and that was also plus seven. So there's something. They went small before 476 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,240 the Clippers, which I love that Ty stuck to size because again Zo was 477 00:32:55,279 --> 00:32:57,920 playing so well. He was like, I don't give a shit, go 478 00:32:58,039 --> 00:33:01,039 small. Would you guys think a big play? I thought he was maybe 479 00:33:01,079 --> 00:33:06,599 the best he's been, not maybe not He was so good he I was 480 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,119 he can maintain that in some focused stints. Is another one of those like 481 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:15,039 sort of momentum momentum things. Hundred. I was wrong. I thought he'd 482 00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:17,640 go Daniel. But I think part of the reason they went big Plumb was 483 00:33:19,039 --> 00:33:22,000 Gaffer picked up those two fouls in the first quarter, was out of the 484 00:33:22,039 --> 00:33:25,000 game seven to one. Lively is in, and I think maybe they thought, 485 00:33:25,039 --> 00:33:29,799 well, big Plum was a better matchup against Lively. Daniel Tice made 486 00:33:29,839 --> 00:33:31,319 more sense to me against Gafford, but against Lively, maybe it's a big 487 00:33:31,359 --> 00:33:37,039 Plumb. Yeah, I think that's what he was. Yeah, he played 488 00:33:37,119 --> 00:33:39,480 normal basketball, which is what you want from plumbly, if that makes sense. 489 00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:44,160 Sometimes he gets a little showtimy and you're just like, what what are 490 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,880 we doing here? On both sides? Hey, yeah, we'll take that 491 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:53,079 showtime can then I expect, well, this is like another concern. Do 492 00:33:53,119 --> 00:34:00,279 we expect this sort of like free throw disparry to continue, because obviously two 493 00:34:00,359 --> 00:34:04,880 superstars gonna get superstar calls. But you look at the Clippers game plan even 494 00:34:05,039 --> 00:34:07,920 you know, like leaning trees, looming direct drives the baskets, sort of 495 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:14,719 funneling things into zoo. I don't know about it, man, I don't 496 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:20,119 know. I don't know about it. I thought the Clippers got a really 497 00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:29,079 bad one, was getting destroyed by the Mavericks. Sometimes did he get in 498 00:34:29,119 --> 00:34:35,199 the half? You can hear from the press box. I couldn't believe if 499 00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:38,559 East the Zubos got a flagreant and a tech and Maxi Kleiba got nothing. 500 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,760 I thought he'd still get a technical he initiated it. What was that? 501 00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:47,400 I thought, honestly, how many times we talked about the refs all year 502 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,840 for new mask fans? Uh? Maybe two or three times, less than 503 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,880 a handful of times we talked about, yeah, it's nice. You guys 504 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:59,639 got twenty more free throws and the Clippers took more two pointers. They were 505 00:34:59,639 --> 00:35:02,280 in a tech mode more. I that was weird. Weird. It was 506 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,440 a weird whistle. I don't want to focus on it too much, but 507 00:35:05,639 --> 00:35:07,960 you know, it is another one of those things like if that's going to 508 00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:12,199 maintain, I expect them to get more free throw attempts. I'm not saying 509 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,239 that, and I'm not saying that's like a rig or a ref thing or 510 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:19,719 anything like that, but just that level of disparity money, I guess I 511 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,400 was kind of surprised at Yeah, I think it was the second largest disparity 512 00:35:22,519 --> 00:35:25,880 next to the Lakers Nuggets series, of all the game ones. I believe 513 00:35:27,599 --> 00:35:30,400 could be wrong on that. I'm going to choose to believe that you're right 514 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:35,280 because it felt insane. So some people were saying and speculating that, well, 515 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,639 Dallas has the media on their side, and maybe the refs have been 516 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,519 influenced or something. It's one game. I'm not gonna put that. Yeah, 517 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,400 I don't. I don't necessarily, Yeah, I don't. I don't 518 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:45,920 know. I buy that. I do like the point though, of like 519 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,480 the shooting is gonna cool off for the Clippers, so we need the free 520 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:55,480 throw disparity even that a little bit. Yeah, regress in some areas, 521 00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:00,400 Paul George is more efficient, Norman Powell has a better game, and you 522 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:05,360 can make up for not having the hot shooting from the outside in Game two 523 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,119 and other guys. LA Clippers film was pointing out that in the second half 524 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:13,000 they played with Luca out of kind of like the high post a little bit 525 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,679 more and had people kind of revolving around him. Tyler did mention that their 526 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:20,320 defense kind of just like they just switched it up a little bit and kind 527 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,119 of like played the NBA version of prevent defense, I guess. So I 528 00:36:24,119 --> 00:36:27,360 wonder how much of what we saw in the second half from Luca and the 529 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,559 high post is real versus how much of it is you know, because I'm 530 00:36:30,559 --> 00:36:34,480 assuming they're gonna go back to it earlier because it was only a few things 531 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:39,119 that worked. So I'm keeping an eye on that. And Luca, he 532 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:44,880 criticized himself for not being aggressive enough out of the gates. I think he 533 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:50,079 was. He was taking in shots, he was a business. But there 534 00:36:50,199 --> 00:36:54,480 was also a play in the third fing quarter where Big Zoo as good of 535 00:36:54,519 --> 00:37:00,119 a game as he had on the offensive end, I think him walking can 536 00:37:00,199 --> 00:37:02,199 help Luka Doncic for a possession. It was my favorite player of the ball 537 00:37:02,199 --> 00:37:06,519 game. Did you guys see that Luca had to I forget if he had 538 00:37:06,519 --> 00:37:07,679 to bail out of it, he had to pass out of it because he 539 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:13,360 couldn't shake of Viza Zubats. To me, I was like progress that never 540 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,960 happened in twenty twenty one. Vita Zubats footwork was phenomenal, even against Luca, 541 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,639 who I think when the matchup data said he went I think four to 542 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:30,519 seven still but that one play locked down in Alcatraz. Luka Doncic have not 543 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,920 given Zoo enough credit for his growth. Some Clippers fans too, But like 544 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,920 it's not the same Zoo. We mentioned this, but like we talked about 545 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:45,639 this, but like it's a different like it's a different Zoo. Oh, 546 00:37:45,679 --> 00:37:49,039 I mean one hundred percent, and I mean this team when shots are falling 547 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,840 and this is across the board, looks like a different defensive team. And 548 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,840 I and that applies to as solid as you know, Vita Zubots has been 549 00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:00,760 defensively throughout his tenure. When he's actually getting getting fan a little bit on 550 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,400 the other end of the floor, I feel like it ratchets up to that 551 00:38:02,519 --> 00:38:07,480 next It ratchets up to that next level. Did you see the the the 552 00:38:07,639 --> 00:38:10,599 Eric Boy drawing for Zoo, the last one that the newest one that came 553 00:38:10,639 --> 00:38:15,639 out I did not. We're about to thanks to the power of technology. 554 00:38:16,119 --> 00:38:20,400 This is a great one. The corn Dog Harden, I mean, one 555 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,639 of the incredible, one of the greatest drawings pieces of art I've ever seen. 556 00:38:23,599 --> 00:38:30,800 Here's the Zoo one, which is which is phenomenal. That's what we 557 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:37,159 need. We need fat jolly happy zoo is what we need. Some more 558 00:38:37,199 --> 00:38:40,039 of that, get him the damn ball. I'm gonna I'm gonna photo shot 559 00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:46,719 that Keishawn Johnson book from Back of the Day lor if anybody want to shit 560 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,199 me up and fall out of May with it. I'm not that talented. 561 00:38:50,199 --> 00:38:53,199 And then one we talked about Derek Jones Junior a little bit. He could 562 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,920 be someone who could maybe annoy Harden again. He's the one mav who looked 563 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,679 like he's actually interested in playoff defense for more than like five minutes at a 564 00:39:01,679 --> 00:39:06,840 time. And then they put PJ. Washington on PG. I don't know 565 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,719 what the Clippers leg situation was. Late in the game, it looked like 566 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,800 they were I mean, the offense they were playing was like waist the clock, 567 00:39:14,199 --> 00:39:19,079 barely get it over half cord a couple of times. So again, 568 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,480 the second half was so odd because of how the second quarter went that it's 569 00:39:22,559 --> 00:39:27,199 like, what what are we really going to see defensively from the maps? 570 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:35,360 It's so different after playing ten guys physicality. Again, I thought Washington was 571 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,440 better than the Dereck Jones. He got thrown to the ground at the start 572 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,639 of the third by James Harden on that step back three point. It was 573 00:39:40,679 --> 00:39:44,519 like, are the Maps going to turn things around and then first play the 574 00:39:44,559 --> 00:39:47,519 second half? James Harden does that? I guess not. I was man. 575 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:54,719 They looked like the lights were too bright a little bit. I expect 576 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:59,320 them to shoot better. I expect them to defend better. I expect Game 577 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,639 two to be more much closer, of course, and the Clippers is going 578 00:40:01,679 --> 00:40:05,960 to be really hard to win that game. They are going to make some 579 00:40:06,079 --> 00:40:08,599 adjustments out there. They are going to hit more shots. I know MAVs 580 00:40:08,599 --> 00:40:13,480 fans don't like him anymore, but is Tim Hardaway Junior gonna have to play 581 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,039 more just because he is a guy who can get really hot from the outside. 582 00:40:16,119 --> 00:40:19,440 If his defense can keep on the floor, that's what seems to be 583 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,119 all their issues with him. Yeah, Paul George went after him as soon 584 00:40:23,119 --> 00:40:29,039 as he came in, but he did knock down one three point shot. 585 00:40:29,119 --> 00:40:32,960 I don't know, they look thinner. I could have been very wrong about 586 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:37,440 the Dallas and given them too much credit coming into this series for how well 587 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,159 they have been playing. Or it's just a bad matchup against Big Zoo for 588 00:40:40,199 --> 00:40:44,800 their front line. If their front line can't do the things that got them 589 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,760 here in a series against the Clippers, they don't have a lot of paths 590 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:52,039 to victory. Then it's just Luca and Kyrie getting scorching hot, which can 591 00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:57,480 happen. Yeah, but they might score eighty and still lose to the Clippers 592 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,079 if the role players and the ancillary care are good enough. I hope that 593 00:41:02,079 --> 00:41:05,760 that would be. Nomble I said they were on pace for radio one point, 594 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:10,280 and that was before they had eight points in the second quarter the Clippers, 595 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:15,639 though James Harden was unbelievable twenty points in the first half. He hit 596 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,639 that step back I think at the end of the first quarter on Maxi Kleeba 597 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:22,440 from like thirty feet out. Some of the shots he was hitting were well 598 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:27,800 aware. He wasn't in a good three point groove from February through most of 599 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,519 March, but he started to turn things around right at the end of the 600 00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:35,000 season, and it showed up for him. Six of eleven from the outside 601 00:41:35,119 --> 00:41:37,840 like. He also hit two shots in the mid range, where he'd been 602 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,119 shooting thirty seven percent all season from five to nine feet. He got a 603 00:41:40,119 --> 00:41:44,000 floater to go, He got a step back on Tim Hardaway Junior, who 604 00:41:44,039 --> 00:41:46,159 fouled him and he got the and one, so some of that. I 605 00:41:46,159 --> 00:41:51,239 don't expect him to be that good again. But he is still James Harden. 606 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:52,800 And people are pointing out, you know, the game one he had 607 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:57,840 against Philly and how his legs can get worn out in the course of the 608 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,880 seven game series, and that's valid. And we talked about, you know, 609 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,360 the biggest advantage, like the biggest difference for Harden was was gonna be 610 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,239 less heavy lifting for him to have to do, and it has turned out 611 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,960 that that is not the case. Welcome to a team with Paul George and 612 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:15,679 Kuile Inard. Right, Yeah, so, I mean historically doesn't necessarily bode 613 00:42:15,679 --> 00:42:17,800 well, but who knows. We could we can get the we could get 614 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:22,679 the big guy back and and and maybe he won't have to be relied on 615 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:30,480 it as heavily if if the legs aren't there, because I like that special 616 00:42:30,559 --> 00:42:38,719 k the big that's serial all week he returns. What about Russell Westbrook he 617 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:43,280 can duplicate. Okay, maybe not the two of four from the outside. 618 00:42:43,679 --> 00:42:45,760 They did dare him to take those. He made them. There was a 619 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:51,840 big three made by him in the quarter. But the lob dunk that he 620 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,039 got from James harden the when he turned the corner I think it was in 621 00:42:54,079 --> 00:42:58,440 the first or early second quarter and got that big throw down. You got 622 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,719 thirteen points. A lot of what he did it is repeatable, that's not 623 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:05,239 crazy. I thought his defense was good. It was my X factor pick, 624 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,679 which is a perfect segue into Will. We said that your Kawhi Leonard 625 00:43:09,679 --> 00:43:13,880 PJ X factor or your COI Leonard X factor pick was going to be PJ 626 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,760 Tucker. He d n P. I thought that's where you're going to go 627 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,199 with. That's my bad. Well, that was actually my strategy. That 628 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:25,000 was mine. That was the X factor. It worked, Tyler. Great 629 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,400 call by me, Great call by Tyler. Great great minds think alike. 630 00:43:30,119 --> 00:43:34,280 When I picked Bones, I actually thought, you, okay, Will, 631 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:42,679 who is your Kawhi Leonard X factor pick for Game two Clippers. I think 632 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,840 it's gonna be Norm Powell pouring it on. Uh. I gamed out a 633 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:52,440 little bit in game one. Yeah. Yeah, And I just they I 634 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,519 mean, they have personnel to slow him down, obviously. I think it 635 00:43:54,599 --> 00:43:59,079 just depends on on on where he like, where where he sits in the 636 00:43:59,159 --> 00:44:01,440 rotation, how they up doing that. But I do not expect him to 637 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:06,079 be this quiet game too, and I think that that could go a long 638 00:44:06,159 --> 00:44:08,880 way. You know, like I said, if if we are in that 639 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:15,320 unfortunate scenario where nobody can seem to get shots going down, norm is generally 640 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:20,199 the guy who, when all else fails, like yeah, generally kind of 641 00:44:20,199 --> 00:44:22,639 becomes automatic. So, uh, he's gonna be my X factor in this 642 00:44:22,679 --> 00:44:27,039 one. You know, you wonder obviously defensively, like how long he can 643 00:44:27,079 --> 00:44:29,800 stay on the floor, but uh, you know, if he's if he's 644 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,239 lighting it up, especially in like non Luca minutes, I think that that 645 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:37,400 could be huge. Adam, you're Kawhi Leonard X factor pick of the Game 646 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:42,159 two Clippers Babs Series, Part three, first Round NBA Playoffs twenty twenty four. 647 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,400 Okay, well, my Visa Zoobots X factor for the series remains, 648 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:52,480 but I won't go with him again in two. It's too easy. With 649 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,119 the way Big Zoo's eating out there, I don't want to be that predictable 650 00:44:55,119 --> 00:45:02,039 with it. I will go with a mere coffee knock down two threes the 651 00:45:02,039 --> 00:45:05,599 first shot of the game, but then another one that was kind of big 652 00:45:05,599 --> 00:45:08,079 in the second half. They got guys, they hit so many timely threes. 653 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:14,880 It wasn't just they shot fifty percent from three, but every one would 654 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:19,519 stop a run by the Dallas Mavericks, plenty of them coming out of atos. 655 00:45:19,599 --> 00:45:23,159 Yeah, momentum killing three pointers by the Clippers, that's what also made 656 00:45:23,199 --> 00:45:29,360 them special. But I think a Mere Coffee his defense was awesome, but 657 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,639 I want to see him get a couple opportunities maybe in transition where the Clippers 658 00:45:32,639 --> 00:45:36,519 offensively by the way, with their transition defense, I think Dallas ended up 659 00:45:36,519 --> 00:45:38,599 with eighteen fast break points or something like that. Most of them came in 660 00:45:38,639 --> 00:45:42,639 the second half. But even when I was looking over for the high five, 661 00:45:43,119 --> 00:45:47,039 how fast the Clippers were actually running to get back totally different, Like 662 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:52,639 I saw Bason Plumbley flying down the floor. They got beat. Sometimes Kyrie's 663 00:45:52,679 --> 00:45:55,199 too fast. They were doing some cherry picking, but at least the effort 664 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:59,400 was there. But a Mere Coffee's really good in transition. Would like to 665 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,840 see him, though, so get to he's got that little turnaround mid range 666 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:07,079 game. That's a bucket for a mer. He's been really good there since 667 00:46:07,119 --> 00:46:09,840 he got back into the rotation. Uh college hockey actual till the end of 668 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:16,840 the little bucket there, I'm going and this is an easy pick. I'm 669 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:22,800 going Paul George. We need uh, We're probably gonna need a half like 670 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,320 Harden had from one of those two guys, and I think Paul George is 671 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:30,280 due. He got a lot of momentum from that fourth quarter from taking control 672 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,159 offensively and demanding the ball. He's still got a lot of shots up, 673 00:46:32,199 --> 00:46:38,840 which I loved. So I'm going Paul George thirty plus points. Won't have 674 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:44,760 to defend Kyrie as much because the mer's out there. Thirty ball from PG. 675 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,280 That's probably the best pick because I don't see how they win Game two 676 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:54,119 if if he doesn't go for thirty plus. So we're obviously picking the Clippers 677 00:46:54,159 --> 00:47:00,639 to go to Dallas up two games. They're gonna give us an extra one. 678 00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:07,079 We'll spot you one, fellas spot. This was a great performance that 679 00:47:07,159 --> 00:47:14,880 wraps up the game talk. We do have final give no Quarter results from 680 00:47:15,639 --> 00:47:17,760 our official accountant, whose name I can't remember because I just xed out of 681 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:22,360 the tweet, But for those of y'all wondering, it was eighty two games, 682 00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:27,599 three hundred and twenty eight total, eighty two something somewhere around there, 683 00:47:27,679 --> 00:47:34,039 right around interesting. The extended the season three hundred and twenty eight total quarters 684 00:47:34,079 --> 00:47:37,199 possible one OT game. We won one hundred and seventy one quarters. That's 685 00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:43,079 great. We lost one hundred and thirty nine, so we each oh thirty 686 00:47:43,079 --> 00:47:46,880 four to seventy five to whatever charity we decide on. I know. Please 687 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:52,960 watch the YouTube, Please subscribe. We need this, we need our day. 688 00:47:52,119 --> 00:47:59,320 We're addicted to charity. Do people know about the give No Quarter model? 689 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,639 I know Libernie does. But Dallas Mavericks fans got a great call. 690 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:06,360 If you're new to this pod, might be fewer Dallas MAVs watching after some 691 00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,599 of the things they said before Game one and how Game one transpired. But 692 00:48:10,119 --> 00:48:14,239 give No Quarters the worst slogan in the history of the Clippers, and it 693 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,480 has now been used. It's pretty close. Span Can you remember another bad 694 00:48:16,559 --> 00:48:21,719 one as bad as give No Quarter? I can't remember anything exactly. That's 695 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,480 why it's so bad. I don't really like the all hands either. Yeah, 696 00:48:24,519 --> 00:48:27,719 we're also reusing that for like the third year in a row for the 697 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,960 playoffs. I mean, I think it'd like it better if it was on 698 00:48:30,039 --> 00:48:35,760 deck. Yeah, all hands on deck. I think like makes a little 699 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,360 bit more sense. I get what you're going for with the all hands, 700 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:42,079 but tighten it up. I don't know. But give no quarter is the 701 00:48:42,119 --> 00:48:47,320 slogan that every Clippers fan dislikes because it is childish, and they ran it 702 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:52,440 back. They ran it back. And as you can see, it's very 703 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,119 easy to tell how many quarters you give. The Clippers gave thirty four dollars 704 00:48:55,199 --> 00:49:00,000 and seventy five cents worth of actual quarters this year. The team should you 705 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:01,960 this is an opportunity to donate to somewhere. I think they should be like, 706 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:07,199 oh, we gave this many quarters this year. They still do trees 707 00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,800 for trees, Yeah, they do. If it's someone's birthday. Threes for 708 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:15,400 trees. Yeah, for trees. Do they send bags a weed to other 709 00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:20,480 countries? Yea, to help with the trade. That's what you have. 710 00:49:20,519 --> 00:49:25,880 No quarter is And then what they had forty more quarter wins than losses this 711 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:31,280 year right around something like that. Yeah, the numbers you do. It's 712 00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:37,639 on the breakdown will. As I said, I don't have a will. 713 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:44,400 Where can these fantastic people listen and maybe watch us talk about these old clips. 714 00:49:44,599 --> 00:49:46,239 Yeah. So if you're new to the show, Uh, the best 715 00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:50,199 way to check us out is over on YouTube. That's YouTube dot Com slash 716 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:55,559 at Clippers podcast. Uh. You can also you can also listen to us 717 00:49:55,599 --> 00:50:00,000 wherever you get your podcasts. UH. If you're listening over on Spotify or 718 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,320 Apple podcast, leave just a little rating review. It helps out. But 719 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,719 thank you so much for tuning in looking forward to game two. A lot 720 00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,719 of series left. Yeah, I appreciate everybody who's tuning in, though, 721 00:50:12,119 --> 00:50:15,519 And Adam, one quick positive thing before we send these Clippers fans on their 722 00:50:15,559 --> 00:50:20,599 way. I think you said it best earlier. While they're gonna regress with 723 00:50:20,679 --> 00:50:24,679 the three point shooting, most likely they can still get their free throw temps 724 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,360 up. They can have Norm Pale get going and your player to watch, 725 00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:32,039 and Paul George can be much more efficient out there. So I think there's 726 00:50:32,079 --> 00:50:37,280 ways that you can make an argument that the Clippers can still easily win Game 727 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:40,360 two and not just settle for the split at home without Kawhi Leonard if they 728 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:44,280 don't have them tomorrow night, there we go. We're excited to be that. 729 00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:45,199 We're all going to be in the building. If you're there, come 730 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:50,239 say what's up. We're also doing a live stream after from the press box, 731 00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,920 where we hopefully have as good a vibes as we did on Sunday, 732 00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,079 so there you have it. Thanks for hanging out, and as always, 733 00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,119 let's go Clips
