1 00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: What's going on? Clippers fans, Welcome to a curious little 2 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,719 Game seven preview here at Clips and Dip. I am 3 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,519 Chuck Buckler, joined by Adam Oslain William Ike's gonna pop 4 00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:26,519 in at some point. If you're listening to the show. 5 00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:28,800 After we publish this, you can watch us live at 6 00:00:28,839 --> 00:00:31,920 YouTube Accomplished at Clippers Podcasts. We do the lives when 7 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,159 there's a quick turnaround time. It's easier for us. Full 8 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:39,240 disclosure and yeah, that's just how it goes. Clippers forced 9 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,280 the Game seven. Rocky into the game, Adam, you and 10 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,880 I didn't get to really talk about it much last night. 11 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,880 You were putting in great work at Clippers Talk. Let's 12 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,520 just get into it. How are you feeling going into 13 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,799 this Game seven for the both exhausted teams? 14 00:00:57,439 --> 00:01:01,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I wasn't overly concerned with the 15 00:01:01,439 --> 00:01:04,560 way they ended the game. It's like, AND's gonna make 16 00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:07,239 a run. They're really good and they had a chance 17 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,959 to close out the series, and they showed some desperation late, 18 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,560 so I wasn't surprised that they made it closer at 19 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,239 a five point game late, But you know, norm Pal 20 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,680 stepped up and made a huge three pointer to put 21 00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:22,519 them up by nine at one ten to one on one. 22 00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:26,760 I feel. 23 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: Really to me, it's about the batoon move, because I 24 00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:38,319 hope this isn't something we look back. 25 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,599 Speaker 2: On and say, why didn't they go to it sooner? 26 00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:44,000 And it ends up working out and saving them in 27 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,359 the end of this series, because I remember going into 28 00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:49,359 game five, I'm like, play the tune thirty plus minutes, 29 00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:53,400 what are we doing here? And it finally happened. He 30 00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:57,719 performed well as he always does. It's the game changer, 31 00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:00,560 and maybe it was the final chess move that they 32 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,120 don't really have an answer for. We'll see, but I 33 00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:07,280 expected to start in game seven, so that, out of 34 00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:10,719 anything that happened in that, Game six, has the most 35 00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:14,319 concouraged just they finally pulled that ace out of his 36 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,319 sleeve for coach lou that's that's the move, you have 37 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:17,800 to do it. 38 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, there was really once. I mean a obviously, once 39 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,000 Patoum started the second half, I think most Clippers fans 40 00:02:26,039 --> 00:02:29,039 were like, great, he's starting game seven too. That sounds 41 00:02:29,039 --> 00:02:32,000 about right. And credit to Tyleru. As soon as Yokiic 42 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,800 was getting those switches on, Chris Dunn and we all 43 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,319 saw what was happening any bigger guy going at Chris Dunn, 44 00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:42,919 who they were clearly trying to get fouls on two. Yeah, 45 00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:44,960 happy he made the change. I'm not sure what other 46 00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:48,240 changes they can make other than Joseph fry Award's suggestion 47 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,360 that they also start Boky instead of Norm, but I 48 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,120 don't think that's going to happen anymore. Was not was 49 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,159 not super locked in on that. But that really is 50 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,560 kind of the last chess move, right because for a 51 00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:03,960 Game seven, I mean, Harden rested for a minute and 52 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,280 a half in Game six, probably gonna get the same 53 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,879 amount of rest for Game seven. Same with Kawhi. 54 00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, thirty six, Kawhi and Zuo didn't play 55 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,719 heavy minutes. Maybe that's something in the Clippers favorite Kawai 56 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,159 was just at thirty nine, that's I mean, he was 57 00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:26,599 playing thirty nine the last two weeks of the regular 58 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,719 season all the time. That's nothing a visa Zubos thirty three, 59 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,639 Norm played thirty nine. I don't know. I was looking 60 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,479 at some of the minutes for Denver and at this point, 61 00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:41,159 Jokich has played about eighteen more minutes in this series 62 00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:45,719 than Kawhi has Ye Jamal Murray has played like twenty 63 00:03:45,719 --> 00:03:48,960 two more minutes in this series than Kawhi has. I'm 64 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,639 hoping this is what we talked about after Game one. 65 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,039 We're so disappointed that the Clippers didn't play their guys 66 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,599 heavier minutes. This was the long game from coach lou 67 00:03:56,639 --> 00:03:58,759 and Denver's gonna peter out first, and that could be 68 00:03:58,759 --> 00:03:59,280 the difference. 69 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an incredibly stressful long game. Hello cat, If 70 00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:07,280 you're not watching us, you're missing Adam's cat. It's an 71 00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:10,479 incredibly stress It's turned out to me an incredibly stressful 72 00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:14,039 long game, mostly with how disappointing the Clippers played in 73 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,959 a couple of these outings, especially with Game one. Someone 74 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,560 in the in the chat, there's been a lot of 75 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,639 talk of the physical play. Adalman mentioned it last night. 76 00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:31,519 I hope the refing doesn't become the main story from 77 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,879 this game seven. It feels like people are setting themselves 78 00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:36,000 up to be upset at the refs, which I don't 79 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,000 think we should do. I don't think it's been particularly 80 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,839 I don't know, right like they were complaining about the 81 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,160 free throws for Jokic. I don't even think the Clippers 82 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,199 complained when Harden didn't have any free throws earlier in 83 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,720 this series, Like, maybe the ref complaining is a sign 84 00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:58,040 that the long cord's working right. They're so tired that 85 00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:00,920 they're upset they can't get the free I don't know. 86 00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:03,480 I liked that they let him play physical though. 87 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:10,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, so Denver has gotten up two more free throw 88 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,879 attempts so far in this series. They're at one seventeen 89 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,439 because for sure it won fifteen. 90 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 3: Uh, Jokic wasn't getting a great whistle in the second half. 91 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 2: I also felt like the defense from both Nico and 92 00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:29,839 the Visa Zubos especially was elite. 93 00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 3: And sometimes if you play so well and show like 94 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,000 a couple of possessions where you just. 95 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 2: Dominate a guy defensively, then you start getting the benefit 96 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,199 of the doubt, I think, And even if there is 97 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,079 a little bit more contact, it's like you start to 98 00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:46,160 get the benefit of the doubt built up that actually 99 00:05:46,399 --> 00:05:48,839 one game now, ZERI for get the benefit of the 100 00:05:48,879 --> 00:05:51,480 doubt anyways at this point more often than not, because 101 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,519 he is that good defensively. But yeah, I do worry 102 00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:00,519 that Denver's got home court. They complained about a post 103 00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:03,480 game David Adam and maybe learned from his dad and 104 00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:06,759 maybe from Phil Jackson from the early two thousands of 105 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,639 trying to work the reps that way it happens. It's 106 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,959 a real thing. Yeah, I think it's we'll see if 107 00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:16,399 it's effective. But the Clippers just have to go in 108 00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:18,600 and expect now to get a great whistle, play through 109 00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:24,199 it and knock it down early. Really, that's that's been 110 00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:26,319 an issue. They were better yesterday. 111 00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:28,879 Speaker 1: They were plus one in the first five minutes. That's 112 00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:34,199 huge compared to what it's been. Yeah, the start. I 113 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,240 like this from Devin Madrigal saying it's gonna be key 114 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,399 to be the aggressor. Clippers have to be aggressive. I 115 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,560 thought the pace they played with last night was great. 116 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,759 It felt a lot more calculated than Game five. Offensively 117 00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:53,160 and getting Batumen there. Now you just have four guys 118 00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:57,399 who can shoot from the outside firmly that you cannot 119 00:06:57,759 --> 00:06:59,879 sag off of at all if you're the no. 120 00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:05,959 Speaker 4: Yeah, I've said when in the show with Joseph, excuse me, 121 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,240 you know, the tomb is not a cure all for 122 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,399 what's been happening. 123 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,399 Speaker 2: It still is about the starters, but the tomb can 124 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,279 make life easier on the starters and give them less 125 00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:25,360 excuses for not being aggressive out there. And I think 126 00:07:25,399 --> 00:07:27,399 that's what's so important to open up. 127 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,319 Speaker 3: Those driving lanes because it's facing And even though Miko 128 00:07:32,399 --> 00:07:33,720 it was like two of six from. 129 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,759 Speaker 2: Three and I think he's three for his last I 130 00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:40,199 don't know, sixteen or something like that. I'm exactly shot 131 00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:44,920 it that. Well, you heard Joki post game. He's the 132 00:07:44,959 --> 00:07:47,720 better shooter than Chris Dunn. They all know it. So 133 00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:52,560 it's a scouting thing, it's a reputation thing, and he's 134 00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:54,439 he doesn't. 135 00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:57,879 Speaker 3: Bring you down in any area. In fact, his defense 136 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,720 in this series, and let's. 137 00:07:59,519 --> 00:08:02,199 Speaker 2: Not forget Chris Dunn has not been bad in this series. 138 00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:03,800 I don't know if they win Game two without the 139 00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:08,079 way play this whole. Oh, they should have pulled him earlier. 140 00:08:08,079 --> 00:08:10,480 It's like no, Chris Dunn has helped them in this series. 141 00:08:10,519 --> 00:08:12,040 Ben Simmons helped them at times. 142 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: In this series. 143 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 2: It's just getting down a crunch time where you have 144 00:08:14,759 --> 00:08:17,959 to start to tighten up rotations. The margins are even slimmer, 145 00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:22,839 and Niko Batoum actually is such a good option because. 146 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,759 Speaker 3: In the switch he can go on to Jamal or 147 00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:27,720 Nikola Jokish. 148 00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 2: He can guard both of those guys. That's what's so incredible, 149 00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:35,000 and maybe coach who played his hand perfectly. We'll see 150 00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:39,159 in Game seven and now Nico will have the ability 151 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,000 to play forty minutes and looked fresh out there because 152 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,559 he didn't tax him overly overly tax him throughout the 153 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,120 series to start. But we'll see. Time will tell. 154 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: I like this note from jonah as the best. The 155 00:08:53,039 --> 00:08:55,679 altitude will be a key in our minutes rotation. I'm 156 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,120 curious about that traveling back and forth from Denver. Obviously 157 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,200 both teams have to do it, but it will be interesting. 158 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,840 I like your point about Nico being able to take 159 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,200 the heavier minutes because, like Van Gundi said on the 160 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,000 broadcast last night, he averaged seventeen per game in the 161 00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:19,639 regular season. He's playing forty tomorrow. Someone asked, uh, let 162 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,840 me see if I can find it. If we play 163 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,320 seven man rotation heavy minutes, what happens if the game 164 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,960 goes into ot they keep playing. It's gonna be some 165 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,200 tired basketball. I want to also like, I don't think 166 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,399 we're gonna see the most crisp sets from either team tomorrow, 167 00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:40,159 which adds to the chaos factor, which I do think 168 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,840 helps the Nuggets a little bit from a turnover perspective, 169 00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:44,279 But guys are just gonna keep playing. 170 00:09:44,279 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 2: It's game seven, guys, What the fuck? I don't think 171 00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:49,639 Coach Blue is coming into the game, like, well, I 172 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,000 can't play him too much in case we go into overtime. 173 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,360 Nobody is going to do that. It's it's gonna be 174 00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:58,399 heavy minutes. Hard is gonna be doing the same. This 175 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,039 is a game where I expect why to play five minutes. 176 00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: Maybe absolutely, do we think? Someone also last night asked us. 177 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,759 They were like, who's the backup center? We said, Nick 178 00:10:11,799 --> 00:10:14,120 patub and they said, well, how can Nick Putun be 179 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,279 the backup center if he's playing forty five minutes? And 180 00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:20,519 we went because when Zuo's off the floor, Niko will 181 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,279 be the backup five, Derek Joe Junior will come in 182 00:10:23,399 --> 00:10:27,120 for however many, I mean, Zoo's probably got Zoo's gotta 183 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,960 play with how well Zoo's been defending Jokics these last 184 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,399 couple of games, specifically yesterday, Zuo's gotta be out there 185 00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:39,600 every single second that Jokic is maybe not every single second. 186 00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:41,039 The Clippers can get away with a little bit, but 187 00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:43,120 like he was phenomenal. 188 00:10:42,639 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 3: Last night, that second half was probably the best defense 189 00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:51,080 he's played in his career when he had he forced 190 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,559 to miss Jokic on a tough shot to which Aaron 191 00:10:54,639 --> 00:10:56,559 Gordon thought he was gonna get the put back, and 192 00:10:56,639 --> 00:10:57,720 Zu got over there. 193 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,919 Speaker 2: To block that thing. Like it was just incredible. I 194 00:11:00,919 --> 00:11:04,000 think he had two blocks or at least one block 195 00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:07,720 and some really good defense on the same possession on Jokic. 196 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,240 He's phenomenal. And so the question of who's in the 197 00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:16,840 backup center, it's like you you guys know, Nikopotoma, Niko 198 00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:20,360 Batouma is like, he's versatile. This is the point he 199 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,879 can play next to of each of Zubas, and then 200 00:11:22,919 --> 00:11:25,039 when Zubos is on the floor, he can go up 201 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,600 to playing the five spot. And by the way, that 202 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,080 will likely be whatever minutes Jokic is not out there 203 00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:35,639 if if he doesn't go the full forty eight. And 204 00:11:36,519 --> 00:11:40,840 they destroyed the DJ minutes yesterday, and they actually went 205 00:11:40,919 --> 00:11:44,000 plus four in the second quarter when Jokic came back 206 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,639 in for like three or four minutes, they were up 207 00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:49,200 against him without of eacha Zubas, so they went plus four. 208 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,200 The small ball really won them the game. That was 209 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,840 the biggest difference when you look at the plus minus. 210 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,639 Speaker 1: And throws, which is something I was enjoyed that they 211 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:05,759 did yesterday. Quentin Cornet saying, we need to use our depth. No, 212 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,799 that's not how it works. Will you have updyke? How 213 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:11,360 the heck are you? 214 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 2: Buddy? 215 00:12:12,039 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: It fellas how you feeling? People are worried that people 216 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:16,440 are going to be tired. 217 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 2: We need to use the depth that Quintey Cornette, You 218 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,799 said that, Yeah, oh god, no. 219 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 5: I mean I feel the same way I talked about 220 00:12:25,799 --> 00:12:28,919 last night. It how long can you ride your best five? 221 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:29,279 Speaker 2: Like? 222 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 5: How long can they stay on the floor, both from 223 00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:34,879 a like you know, a physical perspective as well as 224 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,519 being a plus out there, not allowing too much defensively 225 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,720 and still being able to score at a high level. 226 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 6: That's what the series is going to come down to. 227 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,480 It's one game. Like nothing, nothing previous matters. 228 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 5: It doesn't matter if you're tired from the game before, 229 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,000 like like, this is essentially a one game series now, 230 00:12:51,399 --> 00:12:53,720 and so wipe the slate clean of anything else. 231 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 2: Uh. 232 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 5: You know, you can take some lessons that you've learned 233 00:12:56,279 --> 00:12:59,000 as far as like defensively, as far as rotations, but like, 234 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,360 truly nothing you've done many mistakes that you've made, nothing matters, 235 00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:05,039 and it's I mean, it's a good thing and a 236 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,159 bad thing, but it is what it is. This is 237 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,720 now a one game series and it depends on you know, 238 00:13:11,039 --> 00:13:13,600 can your best five rise to the challenge? Can they 239 00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:15,559 stay on the floor for forty minutes? And if the 240 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,639 answer is yes, then you're probably walking out of Denver 241 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,679 with a win. And if you're not, and if the 242 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,440 answer is no, then you're not and it's over period. 243 00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:29,399 Speaker 2: I think typically with Game sevens because they let them 244 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,559 get away with so much physicality, because the officials don't 245 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,799 want to interfere or make it look like they decided 246 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,720 the game, it can get very physical. There can be 247 00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:43,080 a lot of misshots, a lot of fifty to fifty balls. 248 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 3: And there's gonna be a lot of io Because they've 249 00:13:46,279 --> 00:13:48,320 both seen everything, they can throw. 250 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 2: It one another schematically at this point. So it may 251 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,000 be a really ugly game and you got to be 252 00:13:55,039 --> 00:13:57,320 a scrap of your team out there, and whoever wins 253 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,759 the rebounding battle gets those extra possessions that could be 254 00:14:00,799 --> 00:14:02,960 the difference. The Clippers got two more shots in Denver 255 00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:05,279 last game and that proved to be huge and. 256 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 5: It should have been even more. They just had a 257 00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:08,720 three and a half minute stretch where they failed to 258 00:14:08,799 --> 00:14:11,279 produce a field goal, which Chuck and I talked about 259 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,320 like partial, like you know, that was taxical, like part 260 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:15,879 of that was like. 261 00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 6: A tactical thing. 262 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,919 Speaker 5: They were trying to run down the clock with the 263 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,320 double due at lead makes sense, but yeah, I mean 264 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,720 they should have had like seven more possessions. 265 00:14:23,639 --> 00:14:25,879 Speaker 1: Which they did at one point, Like yeah, late in 266 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,240 the third the Clippers were like plus six or seven 267 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,200 in the field goal attepes, just the attempts. 268 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,879 Speaker 2: Think about that game yesterday is and this could be 269 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,919 encouraging guys. If they didn't start twelve and three, they 270 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,759 could have been up fifteen early. They were so bad 271 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,320 from the outside and they still were leading by a 272 00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:48,039 slim margin, but they still were leading. That was really 273 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:48,759 impressive to me. 274 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 5: So are we getting be Toom in the starting lineup 275 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,840 game one to take the to take the can off 276 00:14:53,919 --> 00:14:56,000 the top of the basket from deep? I mean, he 277 00:14:56,559 --> 00:14:59,120 broke the team's drives fell from three, and I would 278 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,879 expect him to do this again, or they just don't 279 00:15:02,919 --> 00:15:04,759 leave them open and then you have a lot more 280 00:15:04,799 --> 00:15:05,600 space to operate for. 281 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: Anyone else exactly. Denver's gonna have to scramble on defense 282 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,559 so much more. With the tumor in the starting lineup tomorrow, 283 00:15:13,039 --> 00:15:14,600 they're gonna have to work a lot harder. I like 284 00:15:14,679 --> 00:15:16,279 this point, Adam. I like what you said about the 285 00:15:16,279 --> 00:15:19,919 fifty to fifty balls and the physicality and this again 286 00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:23,200 a tired game of basketball we're gonna see, rightfully so. 287 00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:27,720 But Christian Brown has and Hardened have really been going 288 00:15:27,799 --> 00:15:31,720 at it. Bogie and Russ too. I'm less worried about that, obviously, 289 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,320 but I'm interested to see how Gordon and Brown react, 290 00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:42,519 just what their strategy is gonna be defensively on the clips, 291 00:15:42,519 --> 00:15:44,679 because don't think they're gonna come out super hard. Because 292 00:15:44,679 --> 00:15:46,120 if you come out super hard and you force the 293 00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:49,159 rest to make a call, you're that first call they're 294 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:54,000 looking at you. It's such a tough line to toe 295 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,360 for the for them. But I'm worried about Brown and 296 00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:57,080 Harden a little bit. 297 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 2: Christian Brown the last two means, I think from three 298 00:16:02,399 --> 00:16:04,879 he hit some really big threes. That fourth quarter. They 299 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,279 left him open a couple of times he knocked him down. 300 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,960 I'm concerned about his him finding his offense the way 301 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,120 he has the last few games. 302 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,919 Speaker 6: Now too, didn't he have ten like ten in that 303 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:16,480 third quarter? 304 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: Was that the fourth? 305 00:16:19,919 --> 00:16:20,559 Speaker 2: He's a big quarter. 306 00:16:20,919 --> 00:16:22,039 Speaker 6: He had a big quarter last night. 307 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: Definitely one of. 308 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,039 Speaker 1: Them finished with fourteen. 309 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,399 Speaker 5: I thought it was the third because Norm was really 310 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,440 going off with like brown, like he was answering a 311 00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:34,000 lot of brown, was like almost like was almost point 312 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,679 for point matching and scoring last week. 313 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: It was the third. Yeah, he had ten of the third, 314 00:16:38,399 --> 00:16:39,320 two for three from three. 315 00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:40,159 Speaker 2: I like this. 316 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,759 Speaker 1: I want to point out this great comment from Ralph Kahaler. 317 00:16:43,039 --> 00:16:45,879 You guys, remember when Reggie Evans grabbed Chris Cayman's junk 318 00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:48,279 when Chris was boxing him out. Maybe we could throw 319 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,720 you banks in there to do that to you, joke er, 320 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,559 see what happens. Hey, maybe game seven. 321 00:16:53,799 --> 00:16:55,879 Speaker 5: I just want to say though, like when the Clippers 322 00:16:55,919 --> 00:16:59,759 have had conflicts in these series, the games generally have 323 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,159 not sort of panned out in their favor. 324 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 2: Hey, we bring up Paul Mills. 325 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I get, I'm just I'm nervous there we don't. 326 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,240 There's gonna be a bunch of weird stuff. It is 327 00:17:16,279 --> 00:17:19,359 a game seven. Law Murray was pointing out some funny 328 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,440 things that have happened in game sevens where was the 329 00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:23,880 other one? 330 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 6: Again? 331 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 5: Though it doesn't matter like that should be the furthest 332 00:17:27,279 --> 00:17:31,200 thing from your mind any like you gotta approces single game. 333 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, I know. He was just pointing out that, 334 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,839 like Jokicchen Plumbing were on the floor together in the 335 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,039 last game seven and the bubble and all that, and 336 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,319 like quick Carlisle starting bow bon in game seven. I 337 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,920 don't think Adamans do anything like that. Obviously, the Clippers 338 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,799 have their adam as you said, the lever already pulled, 339 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,440 which is Betoom starting. And then other than that, Harden 340 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,279 and Kawhi gotta do the exact same thing offensively process wise. 341 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 5: What does Chris don have to do to stay on 342 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,039 the floor at him? Like obviously not get not get 343 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,880 switched on with the big and knock down, Like how 344 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,759 long of a stretch can he? Will he play after 345 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:10,880 missing a three? 346 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 2: Well, we pulled the media because if he's not starting, 347 00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:18,240 he's not going to start. Will he get on the floor. 348 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,559 Speaker 3: I think he'll still get minutes out there, maybe when 349 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:24,880 Aaron Gordon's not out. 350 00:18:24,759 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 2: There, because I felt like when Aaron Gordon win had 351 00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:30,079 him twice early in the first quarter. That's when coach 352 00:18:30,319 --> 00:18:31,680 was like, Okay, we can't do this. 353 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: He's not just it's also being made to look very good. 354 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,759 Speaker 2: Yeah's been most of his damage in the second quarter, 355 00:18:39,799 --> 00:18:41,920 where I think he had fifteen, but he only had 356 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,960 five points in the second half. Aaron has been killing 357 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,400 them all series long, which is why I don't know why. 358 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,880 It probably took too long to get Patum in there. 359 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,160 But even though he's got a great rebounder, he's better 360 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,000 than Norm. He's better than Done. He offers more size, 361 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,240 more switches. Bill. There's nose downside to playing Niko batoomb overdone, 362 00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:06,960 you could say there is with Norm. So the move 363 00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:11,319 worked out in full Norman Pali yesterday, and Norm rewarded 364 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,319 everyone with a huge ball game. They need more of that. 365 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,400 I still feel like, though, it's just down to James. 366 00:19:17,799 --> 00:19:20,759 Is James going to first of all, have the legs 367 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,440 and second of all, have the mindset to be able 368 00:19:23,519 --> 00:19:26,759 to go out there and be as relentless as he 369 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,680 was getting to the hoop early on like he was yesterday. 370 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:30,640 He was awesome. 371 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 5: You weren't with us last night, but I presented this 372 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,160 to the to the chat to everybody. Is that the 373 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,200 best game six of James Harden's career. 374 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 2: It might be. It's probably one of his best better 375 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,680 elimination games. I was looking up his twenty five elimination 376 00:19:46,839 --> 00:19:51,279 games earlier. The numbers aren't good. They are they were 377 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,480 better last night than his elimination game averages, which is 378 00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:58,000 like twenty two points on forty two percent shooting thirty 379 00:19:58,039 --> 00:19:59,119 two percent three. 380 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,279 Speaker 5: And coming in to last night, I think someone had 381 00:20:02,599 --> 00:20:04,640 floated this in the chat. He had lost five straight. 382 00:20:06,599 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's track. He had won one since the bubble 383 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:16,759 when they beat Okay. Seeing that game seven him and Russ, Yeah, 384 00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:22,880 I just like this entire season, they've kind of gone 385 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,640 how James Harden goes now in terms of his minutes 386 00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:29,720 and what he guys left in the tank. It's amazing 387 00:20:29,799 --> 00:20:31,799 how much more pop he had last night than what 388 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,240 we saw the two games prior. 389 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,839 Speaker 6: And also I. 390 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 2: Still think about what happened the turning point of the 391 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,400 season when after they lost in Phoenix, he played heavy minutes. 392 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,720 The very next night he played heavy minutes and dropped 393 00:20:45,759 --> 00:20:49,039 fifty against Detroit. But we were all at that point like, oh, 394 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,599 this is it. He hit the wall. He's running out 395 00:20:51,599 --> 00:20:54,640 of gas now and then actually start playing his best 396 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,799 basketball of the season. I think he's going to have 397 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,000 the wind. I don't know. 398 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,039 Speaker 5: He rested for less than ninety seconds last night. 399 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's just I hesitate to count him out 400 00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:13,000 whenever he's playing heavy minutes because he has proven it 401 00:21:13,079 --> 00:21:13,839 time and time again. 402 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: But should we count him out because then he will 403 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,720 surprise us? You know what I mean? Is it one 404 00:21:20,759 --> 00:21:23,599 of those situations where gonna say I don't know because 405 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,200 I was. I was, I was like, I don't know 406 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,599 if he should play the second out of a back 407 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,640 to back, and then, as you said, he's scored fifty. Also, 408 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,519 we'll shout out the Batubattalion shirt. We gotta get out 409 00:21:33,519 --> 00:21:35,400 of one of those. I have another extra one. 410 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 6: He doesn't really like Batomb, so it makes sense he 411 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:39,519 doesn't have one. 412 00:21:41,759 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: A douter over here, so what a random shot today? 413 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 6: The Batum hate wagon over here? 414 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: We should get those made again. Those rules? What up 415 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:59,920 that guy Spencer? Yeah, I'm I'm nervous. I'm excited. Uh, 416 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,799 I'm trying not to think about the refs. You're excited exactly. 417 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,759 The Clippers held out to the ball really well last game. 418 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,880 I don't expect them to have less than double digit turnovers. 419 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,640 I don't expect the Nuggets to have less than double 420 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,759 digit turnovers either, for what it's worth, because again, Game 421 00:22:17,839 --> 00:22:20,480 sevens are a war of attrition. 422 00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:25,559 Speaker 2: They destroyed them in those twelve turnovers. I think they 423 00:22:25,599 --> 00:22:28,319 had twenty three points off those twelve turnovers. That's also 424 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,359 the game, and that's the Clippers game. That's what they've 425 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:31,000 been doing all year. 426 00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, tied them on second chance points, which is huge. 427 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,640 Um only lost fast spray points by one. Like this 428 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,680 was looking at the game chart as nuts. That third 429 00:22:42,759 --> 00:22:43,799 quarter was so nice. 430 00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:48,759 Speaker 2: If they shot better than three, they've probably blown them 431 00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:49,359 out in that game. 432 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair. One of twelve is crazy 433 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:55,319 to start. 434 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,079 Speaker 2: I mean, hurry and yoke is combined for I think 435 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,759 fifteen or fourteen in the second half. That's it. 436 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: So that was one thing that I hope they're able 437 00:23:04,319 --> 00:23:08,680 to avoid is a hot first quarter from Jamal Murray 438 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,240 because before the game last night, Tyler talked about how, 439 00:23:12,799 --> 00:23:14,839 you know, when he had forty three, the Clippers like 440 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,480 let him score twelve easy ones to start the game 441 00:23:17,599 --> 00:23:20,039 or something like that, and that helped Murray get into 442 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:25,200 that mode for Game five. I don't want to see 443 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,279 a double digit first quarter from Jamal Murray and Nicola Jokic. 444 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,400 I don't think that's a crazy take obviously, but that's 445 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,440 where the intensity, I guess and kind of locking it 446 00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:34,400 on defense comes. 447 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,599 Speaker 2: I'll tell you who I think also changed that game 448 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,400 yesterday because Murray had those twelve points in the first quarter. 449 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,519 DJ DJ came in and wrecked him. Yeah, he was 450 00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:51,480 going over screens getting skinny there as he's able to do. 451 00:23:52,079 --> 00:23:55,240 His screen navigation was so good, and I think the 452 00:23:55,319 --> 00:23:57,920 advanced stats show or the matchup data in this series, 453 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,759 he's been their best defender against Jamal Burn. Sorry, I 454 00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:04,440 think he completely changed the coactory of that game by 455 00:24:04,519 --> 00:24:06,680 throwing Murray out off and out of rhythm after the 456 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:07,400 way he started. 457 00:24:07,759 --> 00:24:10,839 Speaker 1: He was huge on the boards too. That's a great 458 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,759 call on the Derek Jones Junior thing. So the subs 459 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,759 are going to be bogged in and Derrek Jones Junior 460 00:24:16,759 --> 00:24:26,079 tomorrow night right for probably Christine in there. Yeah, are 461 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,200 they just running? 462 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:27,599 Speaker 2: Like? What? 463 00:24:29,319 --> 00:24:29,519 Speaker 1: Yeah? 464 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:29,799 Speaker 2: Is it? 465 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 1: I guess is it eight? 466 00:24:32,519 --> 00:24:32,799 Speaker 6: Guys? 467 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,799 Speaker 2: I think it's set, so they've been running six? 468 00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:41,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's seven. We have the luxury of 469 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,359 a seventh player that we can that we can throw 470 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:45,799 out there. 471 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 2: I was looking and Joki is thirty two minutes away 472 00:24:50,799 --> 00:24:52,839 from being at two hundred and eighty minutes. And that's 473 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,000 how many he played against Minnesota last year in that 474 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,279 series where they were up twenty in Game seven at 475 00:24:57,319 --> 00:24:59,960 home and scored like thirty four points in the second 476 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:06,200 half and lost somehow. So Jamal Murray's like eight minutes 477 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,079 away I think from from playing as many minutes as 478 00:25:09,079 --> 00:25:12,359 you did last year in that series. Aaron Gordon's right there, 479 00:25:12,559 --> 00:25:15,960 like they have played heavy, heavy minutes, So if there 480 00:25:16,079 --> 00:25:19,079 is some fatigue factor, it could play in the clippers favor. 481 00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 6: Are they in Denver yet? 482 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:22,799 Speaker 1: Do we know? 483 00:25:23,039 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 5: There was a big kerfuffle last night about when the 484 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:26,920 Clippers would be arriving in Denver. 485 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,759 Speaker 1: Let me check the account, let me see if they 486 00:25:28,839 --> 00:25:30,640 posted a wheels up or anything like that. 487 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 5: Charles was advocating for them to right after the game, 488 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,319 just hop on the plane, get. 489 00:25:39,079 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: Right there from the stadium, I would saying, get to Denver. 490 00:25:47,559 --> 00:25:50,160 Jonathan Ang saying, I don't know if we can have 491 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,480 Kawhi start on Murray tomorrow. Kawhi screen navigation and defense 492 00:25:53,599 --> 00:25:56,240 was pretty bad and that's how he got loose early 493 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,039 on well. 494 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,039 Speaker 6: On the defensive end. 495 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: We'll bring in the devisive takes the chat. 496 00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:10,759 Speaker 6: I stop with coffee in the chat. 497 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: Just come on, can we put up We're. 498 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,079 Speaker 6: So far past that. 499 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: Can we put a ban on coffee? We love him 500 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,279 here coffee too. But I don't know if he's playing 501 00:26:20,319 --> 00:26:25,079 in game seven? Yeah, what do you think Adam will 502 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:26,720 Kawhi on Murray? 503 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 3: He started on him, yes, yesterday, Uh, but then cross 504 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,039 matchups and then he was on ag a lot. 505 00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:40,759 Speaker 2: I would actually put the tube on him to start. 506 00:26:41,799 --> 00:26:45,279 I could go either way. One of a tomb or Kawhi. 507 00:26:45,079 --> 00:26:45,799 Speaker 6: Is going to be on Murray. 508 00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 2: The other one's going to be out of hearing Gordon 509 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:53,720 to start. Yeah, absolutely, a tomb on Murray was also 510 00:26:54,039 --> 00:26:58,480 doing work in the fourth quarter. His length completely bothered him. 511 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,039 Speaker 1: I guess the one thing I mean, I was just 512 00:27:01,079 --> 00:27:03,359 gonna say, like I wonder what his fatigues level gonna be, 513 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,880 But that doesn't matter. Like I don't mean that, you 514 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,039 know what I mean? Like I was like, I hope 515 00:27:07,039 --> 00:27:09,119 that doesn't gas Nico too early, but they're gonna be 516 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,039 gassed either way. They're gonna be switching, They're gonna end 517 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,599 up on you know what I mean, Like that's not 518 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,599 Game sevens are insane. 519 00:27:16,759 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 2: He hasn't played that much in the series. He should 520 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:24,559 be good. I need thirty five plus minutes from Nico. 521 00:27:25,039 --> 00:27:29,759 Speaker 1: Have to have to, I mean every starter. Nico will 522 00:27:29,839 --> 00:27:33,880 probably play the fewest minutes of the starters tomorrow, and 523 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,559 he will play thirty seven minutes or something like that, right. 524 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 2: Like unless Norm is off, Like here's how Chris Dunn 525 00:27:43,319 --> 00:27:46,359 gets minutes if Norm is playing poorly defensively and his 526 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,039 shot isn't going. I got a hand to Norm. He 527 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,599 had some great defensive plays yesterday. He locked up Aaron 528 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,240 Gordon on a possession in the fourth quarter. 529 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,559 Speaker 1: He was sitting down in the chair like he was 530 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:02,799 like he was. Him and Bogey have into some defensive 531 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,000 stuff that you would like to maybe see during the 532 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,799 regular season. But I don't care about that right now. 533 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,759 Like I thought, Bogie his commitment to the defensive end. 534 00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:13,880 I'm not saying he's been locked down. I think his 535 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,400 commitment to the defensive end. His commitment to the glass 536 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,680 has been great in this series. It's been real playoff 537 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:24,920 basketball type Stuff's. 538 00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:25,599 Speaker 2: Edge I think is really needed for these moments. Like, 539 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,480 even though he hasn't been super efficient or anything like that, 540 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,240 he's hit big shots and he's made some hustle plays 541 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:32,160 with putbacks. 542 00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: Yes, he for sure has him and Westbrook is an 543 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,599 interesting wrinkle. Yeah, so both. I mean, how much is 544 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,440 Bogey Bogie's gonna get ten minutes tomorrow? I don't know 545 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:46,799 if he plays another twenty. 546 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, it may only be like ten to fifteen. But 547 00:28:51,039 --> 00:28:52,640 if he's hot, he's playing more. 548 00:28:55,599 --> 00:28:57,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you can't. You can't take the hot 549 00:28:57,559 --> 00:29:04,160 hand away at all. Ray saying you got a zoom 550 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,079 in on that Norm Steel on Aaron Gordon. Pretty sure 551 00:29:06,119 --> 00:29:07,759 Norm told him to get the fuck out of here. 552 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:15,079 Probably Norm was an elite hustle shit talker. Yeah, I think. 553 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,759 I don't know. It's gonna be messy tomorrow, it's going 554 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,480 to be I just want the chaos has seemed to 555 00:29:21,599 --> 00:29:24,920 help the Nuggets a little bit in this series, and 556 00:29:25,079 --> 00:29:29,039 I just really hope that the Clippers can take some 557 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,440 of the momentum from the chaos that will happen in 558 00:29:31,519 --> 00:29:33,759 Game seven in a hostile environment. 559 00:29:35,519 --> 00:29:38,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're probably gonna have to absorb an early run 560 00:29:39,599 --> 00:29:44,160 on Denver crowd behind them, be prepared for it. And 561 00:29:44,519 --> 00:29:48,119 hopefully punch back immediately. There were signs even in Game 562 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,359 five again, that second quarter was really well played by 563 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,599 the Clippers. Murray just couldn't miss. Neither could Russ. The Clippers, though, 564 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,519 did respond. They did, It's just nobody saw it because 565 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,279 Stedburgh going miss either. 566 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,319 Speaker 1: The Russ factor is interesting because he had some instances 567 00:30:06,599 --> 00:30:10,160 of Rust being Russ last night. But he also shot 568 00:30:10,319 --> 00:30:11,039 really well. 569 00:30:13,559 --> 00:30:17,319 Speaker 2: That miss Duncle and another smoke layup that was big. 570 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,200 I guess Carlo looked this up. 571 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,839 Speaker 6: And that miss Dunc though didn't we not? I feel 572 00:30:23,839 --> 00:30:25,640 like we didn't. Didn't we not secar that rebound? 573 00:30:26,079 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: I think I think that is what happened. 574 00:30:28,319 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 2: I thought that was an one going the other way, 575 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:36,359 one that could be wrong. Carlo looked up his numbers 576 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,720 in a playoff series, and this is the best he 577 00:30:38,759 --> 00:30:40,680 has shot in the playoff series from three since his 578 00:30:40,799 --> 00:30:44,039 rookie season. I heard that. 579 00:30:44,519 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: Of course, of course it is you. 580 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,799 Speaker 2: I went forty two his last five games as a 581 00:30:50,799 --> 00:30:51,640 Clipper last year. 582 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,039 Speaker 1: So with yeah, I guess I mean weirdly because you 583 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,960 mentioned the Nuggets. They have six guys, so it's gonna 584 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,799 be it's Russ. I don't think Peyton Watson's I mean, 585 00:31:02,839 --> 00:31:04,839 Peyton Watson shot way yesterday, but I don't think he's 586 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:11,119 gonna be out there like how many A lot? Yeah, 587 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:16,839 a lot rides on the Russ X factor for them 588 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,319 because if he comes in, and obviously a lot more 589 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,480 rides with how well both team starters are going to 590 00:31:23,519 --> 00:31:24,920 play and how long they're going to play together. But 591 00:31:25,079 --> 00:31:30,000 when he is your one substitute, will how much scary 592 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,839 is it when your only substitute is Russell Westbrook versus 593 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:34,960 having some options as your substitutes. 594 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 6: I mean, it hasn't been that scary for them so far, so. 595 00:31:43,039 --> 00:31:43,759 Speaker 1: I hope. Yeah. 596 00:31:43,759 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, Russ has delivered in a way 597 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,599 that he has not on a playoff team I don't 598 00:31:49,599 --> 00:31:53,440 know ever, in like in his you know, non non 599 00:31:53,599 --> 00:31:54,799 Leaga handler role. 600 00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think that's fair. I like this comment 601 00:32:00,759 --> 00:32:02,960 from Papa Piece. Someone said tomorrow's game will all depend 602 00:32:03,039 --> 00:32:05,680 on which team Rust assigns to play for. Yeah, that 603 00:32:05,839 --> 00:32:08,799 is true. Is he gonna come out charged up, trying 604 00:32:08,839 --> 00:32:11,880 insane blocks? Like I gotta disagree with this one. 605 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 5: If this series coming down to Russell Westbrook, I'm sorry 606 00:32:14,279 --> 00:32:17,960 we've done We've done something I've done something wrong. 607 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 2: US is gonna come out hot tomorrow after scoring just 608 00:32:24,119 --> 00:32:26,960 five and the second half, be frustrated getting into it 609 00:32:27,039 --> 00:32:29,680 with the officials here in the top about a Beatzo boss. 610 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,680 He's probably gonna have a really strong start. Me get 611 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,480 some calls early. That might be the storm they at 612 00:32:35,559 --> 00:32:39,319 the weather he has. Tom Murray did not play well. 613 00:32:39,319 --> 00:32:41,279 I mean yo, Kis' stat line he didn't even have 614 00:32:41,359 --> 00:32:43,359 a triple double yesterday. What a bum. 615 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,039 Speaker 1: Wow wash. This guy's MVP. 616 00:32:50,559 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 2: I expect him to be better. 617 00:32:52,799 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 3: Kawhi had a good game. He has had a good, 618 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,680 solid series. He hasn't had a great series. He's had 619 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:00,319 a great game. 620 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,279 Speaker 2: He's had an elite superstar all time playoff game. Does 621 00:33:04,359 --> 00:33:05,680 he have one more in him? 622 00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:09,319 Speaker 1: Yeah? Because he wasn't good from three last night, which 623 00:33:09,319 --> 00:33:11,160 again he was doing a lot of everything else, so 624 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:12,960 it's fine. He held on to the ball. He still 625 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:13,759 had five times. 626 00:33:15,559 --> 00:33:16,279 Speaker 2: He was very good. 627 00:33:16,839 --> 00:33:21,039 Speaker 1: He was very good. But yeah, this is this is 628 00:33:21,319 --> 00:33:26,839 very much a legacy game. Michael Porter Junior also didn't 629 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,519 have a good game, and I think I believe that 630 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,839 more than if he would have had a good game. 631 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,640 Now it actually looks like he's feeling some issues from 632 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:36,519 the shoulder. 633 00:33:38,119 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 2: Didn't go lost thirty four in Game five, and then 634 00:33:41,279 --> 00:33:43,400 last night he was mayas twenty four in his twenty 635 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,480 four minutes. Now, I don't think it was all him 636 00:33:45,559 --> 00:33:48,480 because he was out there when the Clippers went small 637 00:33:48,599 --> 00:33:51,880 for that run. Yeah, with their bad bench unit. But 638 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,119 the the other run happened in the middle of that 639 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,960 third quarter where they turned the ball over five times 640 00:33:57,039 --> 00:33:59,480 in six possessions and the Clippers had that twelve zero run. 641 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,880 That Yeah, that was huge, and that was against you know, 642 00:34:03,319 --> 00:34:06,319 Denver starters. The most part. It was Russ came in 643 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,800 towards the end of it, but that was Denver starting unit. 644 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,440 And it's difficult to win a long section of time, 645 00:34:13,519 --> 00:34:16,760 you know, against Jokich, is difficult to win those minutes. 646 00:34:17,079 --> 00:34:20,320 I ended up looking up the but toomb of the 647 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:25,920 starting lineup, we're done. Minutes they played sixteen they went 648 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:31,519 LUs two. Holy share, You'll take that because now those 649 00:34:31,599 --> 00:34:35,079 minutes are against Jokich and Murray and it's tough to 650 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:36,920 it's tough to win those minutes. 651 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're totally right. Plus two. If you win the 652 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:47,119 Jokic minutes and he plays forty four minutes, you're probably 653 00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:52,079 winning the game. I don't know, I'm getting more stress 654 00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:54,039 as we talk about. If I'm being totally honest, it's 655 00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:55,920 gonna be tense, you know what I mean. Like, I'm not. 656 00:34:57,559 --> 00:34:59,639 Speaker 2: You guys care about the start time? 657 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:01,199 Speaker 1: Was it four thirty? 658 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:03,679 Speaker 2: Yeah? 659 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 6: I mean I'm glad it's not noon. I don't know. 660 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 5: Someone brought up someone brought up a point that I 661 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,360 liked to is like, if you get in the later rounds, 662 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,360 I mean, especially if you were to make a finals, Uh, 663 00:35:14,679 --> 00:35:16,280 you're gonna have That's the time you're gonna. 664 00:35:16,079 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 2: Have to play. So yeah, it's a stupid thing to 665 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,119 complain about. I've never liked it. I just I know 666 00:35:23,199 --> 00:35:26,920 it's a topic that people of discussing starts. 667 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,159 Speaker 1: When there were three tenants of staples, I was like, 668 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:34,679 this is just insanity. But yeah, like I don't know, 669 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,840 it is what it's Dive Dropper in the chat saying 670 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,760 we need eighty from Kawhi. I would love an eighty 671 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,760 point game from Kawhi. Things are probably going well. If 672 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:43,440 he's putting up. 673 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 2: Eighty, I may get at least get eighty one. Dollar's 674 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:47,079 got in Kobe. 675 00:35:49,039 --> 00:35:52,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, He's like, I'll score eighty one, not a point more. 676 00:35:53,159 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 2: Oh from Kawi, I need thirty. I need twenty five 677 00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:57,880 for Martin. 678 00:35:59,400 --> 00:35:59,800 Speaker 5: What do you think? 679 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,039 Speaker 1: I think we need twenty five from Harden? And we 680 00:36:03,199 --> 00:36:06,800 also need uh probably you know, he's got to be 681 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,760 at twenty five and ten at least. 682 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:13,679 Speaker 2: Yes, this wise, that's one of the biggest issues. When 683 00:36:13,679 --> 00:36:17,400 you look at hard elimination games, he's at like six 684 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,440 point six assists to four and a half turnovers in 685 00:36:20,519 --> 00:36:21,079 those games. 686 00:36:24,119 --> 00:36:27,679 Speaker 1: William updecks least favorite stat bad assist the turnover ratio. 687 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,079 Speaker 6: Oh you know, I'm a stickler. 688 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, we need the attack mode Harden. We need him 689 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,039 to do postgame media. We need him. We need him 690 00:36:40,199 --> 00:36:42,320 to put himself in a position to talk to the 691 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,360 media after the game. 692 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,320 Speaker 5: And their only chance at getting rest is like putting 693 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,719 this one away decisively, you know, because otherwise they'll play 694 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:53,400 on what Monday? 695 00:36:53,519 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 6: They play on Monday. 696 00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 1: So if the Warriors close it out tonight, the Clippers, 697 00:36:59,199 --> 00:37:02,320 if they were to win, would I believe I think 698 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:08,400 the next round starts on Tuesday, so we get I 699 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,079 think I think I saw that too. Yeah, the beautiful 700 00:37:11,119 --> 00:37:16,280 extra twenty four hours of rest and go all out. 701 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:16,800 Who cares? 702 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:18,119 Speaker 5: Yeah? 703 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can only see it going three different ways. 704 00:37:24,519 --> 00:37:27,079 Speaker 3: Clippers win close, Denver wins closed for Denver wins in 705 00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:27,599 a blowout. 706 00:37:27,679 --> 00:37:29,599 Speaker 2: I don't know if Clippers winning a blow out on 707 00:37:29,679 --> 00:37:31,480 the road in Game seven is in the cards. I 708 00:37:31,519 --> 00:37:32,079 would love it. 709 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no disrespect to the Clippers. Yeah, I don't think. 710 00:37:39,599 --> 00:37:42,159 I don't know if they're If they're winning by thirty 711 00:37:43,119 --> 00:37:50,079 at ball Arena Game seven, I would love it. Yeah. 712 00:37:50,159 --> 00:37:53,039 I think it's gonna be close. Both teams are exhausted. 713 00:37:53,599 --> 00:37:56,559 I agree with Dime. We're gonna need a lot from kawhi. 714 00:37:57,599 --> 00:38:00,320 Speaker 2: Aybe maybe eighty, no. 715 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,280 Speaker 1: Forty, maybe they might need forty from Kawhiya. 716 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 2: I was glad to see him take twenty two shots 717 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:09,800 in that game yesterday. 718 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:15,119 Speaker 1: Exactly take yep, that's yeah, that's exactly what we're gonna 719 00:38:15,119 --> 00:38:21,519 get tomorrow again. If things are going well, Yeah, I 720 00:38:21,639 --> 00:38:24,039 want to win that damn possession battle. I want to 721 00:38:24,079 --> 00:38:26,880 be close. In offensive rebounds, I. 722 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,360 Speaker 2: Think turnovers, rebounds, there's gonna be a lot of them. 723 00:38:30,519 --> 00:38:32,639 Likely guys are tired, guys are going to be tight, 724 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,559 a lot of misshots. Who's going to get up more 725 00:38:35,599 --> 00:38:38,440 shots in the gonna be soul? 726 00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 1: And what are the refs? Gonna look like what does 727 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,760 that look like? To open this game? 728 00:38:45,199 --> 00:38:48,360 Speaker 2: It's they call it tight. I'm screaming. 729 00:38:49,039 --> 00:38:52,280 Speaker 1: I'm furious if they call it tight. If they call 730 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:59,800 this game tight, that behooves the Nuggets. I think, Yeah, 731 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:03,480 I'm gonna be pissed if that happens. All right, Do 732 00:39:03,559 --> 00:39:06,000 you have any other final thoughts before we give our 733 00:39:06,079 --> 00:39:08,159 player of the game? And I think we should switch 734 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,639 up the rules for game seven? We switched them up 735 00:39:10,679 --> 00:39:12,239 last time. We can switch them. We'll just keep it 736 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,360 the same as last time. Actually, will Adam any thoughts 737 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:20,960 before this four thirty pm Game seven in Denver? 738 00:39:22,119 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 2: Yeah? This is bs. You guys already gave your players 739 00:39:24,519 --> 00:39:30,719 the game. Are we making the last mind decisions here? 740 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,599 Speaker 1: We're making last mide decisions. Man, this is what the 741 00:39:32,639 --> 00:39:33,679 adjustments are all about. 742 00:39:34,119 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 2: All right? 743 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 5: I like it? 744 00:39:37,199 --> 00:39:37,760 Speaker 2: What's the rule? 745 00:39:38,519 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 1: We can pick? Will? Did we make it? We could 746 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,880 pick anybody? I think we made it. We could pick anybody. 747 00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:48,639 I can't remember. I had a couple of whiskeys last night. 748 00:39:49,119 --> 00:39:49,920 Pick whoever you want. 749 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,159 Speaker 2: I'm going back to an old halftag of mine. At 750 00:39:58,199 --> 00:40:06,599 the beginning of the season, hashtag JVG for MVP Jeff 751 00:40:06,639 --> 00:40:08,880 Van Gundy my player to watch. 752 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:16,039 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the defensive scheme was beautiful last time out. 753 00:40:17,159 --> 00:40:21,519 Speaker 2: Uh, he knows about slugfest in the playoffs, in big 754 00:40:21,639 --> 00:40:26,360 Game seven's in elimination games, you may have a good 755 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,320 idea about how the reps are gonna call her, how 756 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,239 much they're gonna let go, and then adjust the defensive 757 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:37,280 game plan accordingly. I'm basically saying the Clippers they got 758 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:38,760 to find a way to win this game on the 759 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,639 defensive end, and JBG is a big part of that. 760 00:40:44,639 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 1: Great pick. I think that's the first time we picked 761 00:40:46,519 --> 00:40:50,960 j He's been on the table. Also, I guess we could. 762 00:40:51,079 --> 00:40:53,119 I guess he could be in the regular Player of 763 00:40:53,159 --> 00:40:53,800 the game pick. 764 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:56,079 Speaker 2: The kitchen. 765 00:41:01,079 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. I'm going this is a very easy pick. 766 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:09,920 This is exactly what I was about to say, hip 767 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,119 to clip Kawhi Leonard. With a Game two like performance, 768 00:41:14,639 --> 00:41:19,679 we are gonna see Kahi an attack mode. I think 769 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,840 I need the thirty five, I need the elbow jumpers. 770 00:41:24,559 --> 00:41:28,440 I'm looking forward to Game seven, Kawhi. I'm looking forward 771 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,960 to his defense. Will your pick if you want to 772 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,920 switch it for Player of the Game for Game seven, 773 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,440 anyone including coaching staff is on the table. 774 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,360 Speaker 5: M No, I'm staying with my pick, which listened to 775 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,159 yesterday's episode to remind me what it was. 776 00:41:46,079 --> 00:41:49,840 Speaker 1: All right, good luck to everybody tomorrow. Good luck to 777 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:55,280 everyone ahead of the game. Yeah, I hope everyone has 778 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:59,559 their pregame rituals down. I hope. I don't know, man, Adam, 779 00:41:59,559 --> 00:42:01,360 are gonna work out tomorrow? You run a marathon before 780 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:02,400 the game tomorrow? What's your plan? 781 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,079 Speaker 2: I'n't get a lift in. I ran today. So okay, 782 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,239 it's alders Friday tomorrow. 783 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:16,159 Speaker 1: Okay, back shoulders and try noted.

Yeah, godspeed, everybody. Let's go clips 787 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,519 add of one positive thing before we head out. We 788 00:42:33,599 --> 00:42:35,480 need one positive thing before the game seven. 789 00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,599 Speaker 2: So I'm did in double check this, but you know 790 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,119 we trust Tomarrazari. 791 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,119 Speaker 1: Why not? He said? 792 00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:45,519 Speaker 2: This was shocking to me. 793 00:42:47,159 --> 00:42:53,079 Speaker 7: That, uh, the road team in the NBA has won 794 00:42:53,639 --> 00:42:59,920 the last nine game seven. The last nine game seven 795 00:43:00,199 --> 00:43:01,320 played have been won. 796 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:02,159 Speaker 2: By the road team. 797 00:43:03,559 --> 00:43:04,119 Speaker 1: Holy shit. 798 00:43:04,199 --> 00:43:09,559 Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know that. It seems high, but I 799 00:43:09,559 --> 00:43:10,840 don't know if May they checked him on it. 800 00:43:12,159 --> 00:43:14,559 Speaker 1: I'm gonna believe him, but I'm also gonna wipe that 801 00:43:14,679 --> 00:43:17,519 out of my brain, if that makes sense, because that 802 00:43:17,599 --> 00:43:21,800 gives me hope and dread at the same time, because 803 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,000 that feels like a lot in the. 804 00:43:23,079 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 2: Row I had seen eight of the last eleven had 805 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,800 been won by road teams. Yeah, and Denver has lost 806 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:36,360 two game seven's within the last since twenty nineteen at home. Okay, 807 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,079 they lost to Portland in twenty nineteen and then obviously 808 00:43:40,159 --> 00:43:41,079 last year in Minnesota. 809 00:43:42,119 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 1: There we go. I like what Ray saying here. The 810 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,239 pressure is on Denver. They're the higher seed, they're at home, 811 00:43:47,599 --> 00:43:52,800 they have more pressure. All Right, I'm stressed out. Okay, 812 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:57,679 we will be back Sunday, and as always, let's go clips.
