Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans, Welcome to the postgame

00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,480
hang After the Clippers force a game seven, they're going

3
00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:23,160
to be in Denver on Saturday. They beat the Nuggets

4
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,640
one eleven, one oh five. We are live here for

12
00:00:47,119 --> 00:00:51,280
What a phenomenal game from Kawhi and James Harden. The

13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,920
Clippers got a phenomenal game from Norm Powell, but too

14
00:00:54,039 --> 00:00:59,600
Battalion say hello, make yourself known in the chat and

15
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,039
we're gonna be a Denver on Saturday. We're gonna talk

16
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:05,200
about some of the concerns for that game, but we're

17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,760
all going to allow ourselves to be excited as the

18
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,799
Clippers did what we needed them to do right. We

19
00:01:13,879 --> 00:01:17,000
needed Kawhi and James Harden to show up. We needed

20
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,920
Norm to catch a heater, which he did in the

21
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,480
third quarter. We needed to see an adjustment from Tylu,

22
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,319
which we're probably going to see carry over to Game seven.

23
00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:29,959
Nick Batube started the second half of this game. Tylu

24
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:32,640
had to sub Chris Dunn out because the Nuggets were

25
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,000
getting a very favorable matchup in Jokic on Chris Dunn,

26
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:38,519
so he brought Batum in early, and then he started

27
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:44,079
Batum in the second half and it worked, which is fantastic.

28
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,359
So we have to imagine that game seven, we're going

29
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,760
to see a starting lineup of James Harden, Norm Powell,

30
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,040
Kawhi Leander, Nick Batuba, Viatsa Zubos. I would hope we

31
00:01:56,079 --> 00:01:59,239
see that. I am Chuck Monckler saying that we're gonna

32
00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:02,439
have will updi on here later. But yeah, what a game.

33
00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:07,359
They weathered. An incredible Jokic game and not really incredible.

34
00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:10,159
Excuse me, not not an incredible Yokic game. It was

35
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,120
kind of teetering on incredible. But we you know, they didn't.

36
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,800
We didn't have forty three from Jamal Burray, which is great.

37
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:24,120
The Clippers paced this game well. I thought the offense

38
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,199
was fast when it was supposed to be fast. It

39
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,000
wasn't as frantic as the last time. Renzo the old

40
00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:31,599
head and the chat saying the end of the fourth

41
00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:36,879
was joke. Yes, so that this one was close. It

42
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,000
is a very tense playoff series, so every game is

43
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,439
going to be close. But they really let up in

44
00:02:41,479 --> 00:02:43,759
the second half and the fourth quarter. Excuse me, they

45
00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:45,800
looked really tired of the offense. It took a long

46
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,159
time to get into the sets, but they did what

47
00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:50,919
they needed to do tonight, which was get to win.

48
00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:56,680
Lizo was talking about Aviza zubotsh this was a Zoo

49
00:02:56,759 --> 00:02:59,039
statement game. I don't know if this was a Zoo

50
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,960
statement games. You had a really weird first half. Zoo

51
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,639
had a last second put back in the first half,

52
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,759
which was great, but that was his third rebound of

53
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,039
the first half. So the first half of Zoo was

54
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,599
kind of weird. And then in the second half he

55
00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:17,639
was incredibly clutch. He made big plays defensively, He got

56
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,159
a great block on Jokic, might have gotten away with

57
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:23,919
a foul late, but that's fine. But Zoo had a

58
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,479
bounce back second half. The first half was weird from Zoo,

59
00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:32,960
for sure. It was odd. Hold On, I had some

60
00:03:33,039 --> 00:03:37,560
notes stritting out. I'm hyped, very excited. Uh. We saw

61
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,039
a lineup tonight that for the first time this whole year,

62
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,159
which was James Harden, Norm Powell, Bogninvonvanovic, Kawhi Leonard and

63
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,919
Nicholas Patum. Kind of an insane lineup defensively, but it

64
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,479
worked for a little bit, which was good. One thing,

65
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,879
this game started off kind of shaky, right Jamal Murray

66
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:58,960
lit it up in the first quarter, and that's what

67
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,879
happened last game. We all remember what happened the game

68
00:04:01,919 --> 00:04:05,520
before this, so that was a little scary. The Clippers

69
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:07,560
kind of had to figure it out for a bit

70
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,159
in this game. The Nuggets had a ton of turnovers

71
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:13,919
in the second which kind of helped. The Clippers were

72
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,279
still going bucket for bucket. But then I mean it

73
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,680
just like to open the second half. It was incredible.

74
00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:26,600
And we're obviously going to see I don't say I

75
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,279
shouldn't say obviously we should see Nick Batina in the

76
00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:39,240
starting lineup for Game seven. So Christian Hackney asking, welcome

77
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,160
to everyone who's new to the show, who hasn't watched

78
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,439
the show before. It usually it's myself, Adam oslind and

79
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:48,680
William Updyke. Adam Oslin is hosting the nine am five

80
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,120
p seventy postgame show, so go listen to him. You

81
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,040
can watch him on Clipperstock. William up Ike should be

82
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,319
on in a sec. Christian Hackney asking why were they

83
00:04:56,399 --> 00:04:58,800
letting so much time off the clock for getting the

84
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,560
ball moving in the f Because they are very tired?

85
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,839
Is I think the simplest answer. Also, shout out PA

86
00:05:06,879 --> 00:05:08,800
two battalion. If you're in the bat two battalion, let

87
00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:11,360
us stole in the chat. So sure from the old

88
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,920
locked on clips days, it's because they were tired. Christian,

89
00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:20,279
It's a very valid question. But the offense stalled really

90
00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:24,720
hard on the fourth. They did not close the game offense.

91
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,680
I'm very excited for the win. I'm not taking anything

92
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,480
away from the total result, but this is a fair question.

93
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,399
It just took him a while to get into the

94
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,439
because they were tired. It's absolutely because they were tired,

95
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,720
Lance saying, making Yoka to score is the move. The

96
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:48,360
others did nothing in that second half. Aaron Gordon Burry

97
00:05:48,439 --> 00:05:52,600
didn't even exist. Yeah, Murray had a heater in the

98
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,879
first quarter, as I mentioned, and that really really stalled out.

99
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Shout out Nick Batum. Nick Batub was the ultimate connector.

100
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:07,000
He hit Norm with an assist in the corner, and

101
00:06:07,079 --> 00:06:08,920
I think he hit Derek Jones Junior with an assist

102
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,720
in the corner, basically identical plays. He just knows how

103
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,160
to play winning basketball. He is a floor razor and

104
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:17,600
a ceiling razor, but most importantly for this Clippers team,

105
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,959
he's a defense. He's an offensive floor raizer who could

106
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:27,000
still play good defense. Harden and Kohi are both at

107
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,000
or above twenty field goal attempts, which is what everybody wanted,

108
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,360
and we got it, which was great. And the rotation

109
00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:40,920
was eight guys, no more, Ben Simmons, it's eight guys.

110
00:06:44,199 --> 00:06:49,160
Hats off to Tylero for making the adjustments that he did.

111
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,399
He thought, he said pregame he thought about making a

112
00:06:52,439 --> 00:06:54,279
starting lineup change, and then he did it, and then

113
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:56,720
he made one pretty quickly into the game again because

114
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:02,160
Jokic was getting the mismatch un done and he said,

115
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,240
I don't I don't want to do this anymore. And

116
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:10,439
Batumb came in and was fantastic. What's funny is uh

117
00:07:10,839 --> 00:07:14,120
Norm in Batumb both hit two threes, but it feels

118
00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:18,680
like they made twelve just the magnitude and everything like that.

119
00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:20,560
I'm gonna get to some stuff from the chat. I'm

120
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,319
very excited from that win. Let's go clips. Yeah, b West,

121
00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:29,600
you said it, okay, yawning tears, saying, I wonder if

122
00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:32,079
dun will be out of the rotation next game. No,

123
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,560
I don't think they're going seven guys. I think Derek

124
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:39,639
Jones Junior did a lot to show what he can

125
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:42,879
be offensively, not like a knockdown shoot or anything like that,

126
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,839
but he had this The last part of his shift

127
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:50,680
was really good from Derek Jones Junior. We can't deny that.

128
00:07:50,839 --> 00:07:54,959
Out there with Batum again, Floor Razor for everybody was

129
00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:58,639
helping him. But I don't think I think we're gonna

130
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:00,720
see the same eight guys. I don't think Done is

131
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,240
out of the rotation because you still need his defense

132
00:08:04,279 --> 00:08:10,399
to a point, you can't play seven guys. I just

133
00:08:10,439 --> 00:08:12,439
don't think you can play only seven guys for the

134
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,439
whole game. I think probably, Yawning Tears, to your credit,

135
00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:18,319
I think it'll probably be ten minutes and if you

136
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:23,199
can't get it going offensively, then he's done. No pun intended,

137
00:08:23,399 --> 00:08:28,759
trust me, that would not be intended. So I don't

138
00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:30,959
know if they go to that yet because Tyler also

139
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:39,679
likes Chris Dunn. David Harr saying tired Holden was hard,

140
00:08:39,879 --> 00:08:42,480
Harden was holding the ball too long. Being tired had

141
00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:44,279
nothing to do with it. I think being tired had

142
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,320
something to do with it. I think that's fair. Definitely

143
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,399
probably part of the strategy almost backfired, almost turned into

144
00:08:51,399 --> 00:09:00,720
a real heartbreaker of a game, but it didn't. Lawler's

145
00:09:00,799 --> 00:09:04,960
Law was followed, which we appreciate and celebrate on this podcast.

146
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:09,480
I don't know if I'm basking in this win, but

147
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,879
I feel good about it. V World saying, but Toom

148
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,720
is our sixth man, but Tube is about to be

149
00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:18,639
our fifth man. He's about to be in the starting lineup.

150
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,440
Uh is what is about to happen? He was great

151
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,919
this game. I mean everyone again, kind of except for

152
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,840
Chris Dunn. I don't mean disrespectfully to Chris Dunn was great.

153
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,120
There's some weird performances Zoom again, weird first half, Derek

154
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,799
Jose Junter, some weird minutes to open this one, but

155
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:43,399
guys came around. Okay, David r is not having a

156
00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:47,559
good night. I'm sorry about that. Buddy. Norm Powell had

157
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,080
an incredible third quarter. We haven't even talked about that

158
00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:54,320
yet either. I'm looking at a shot chart in the

159
00:09:54,360 --> 00:10:01,639
third quarter and it is insane. He's absolutely on fire.

160
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,720
Five of six, he had one to three and everything

161
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,200
else was basically at the rim. Norm Powell's third quarter

162
00:10:06,279 --> 00:10:08,879
is exactly the kind of thing you need in this

163
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:15,039
Max Skywalker saying asking, oh yeah, I like this point

164
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,120
from CALLI is it? CALLI love Norm not forcing up threes.

165
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,960
I thought he made a lot of winning plays this game.

166
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,759
Monster dunk as well. Absolutely could not agree more. You

167
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,240
love the dunk. The dunk got people fired up. Anytime

168
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:36,679
Norm dunks, it's aggressive, which is good. And he tried

169
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,080
on defense two steels. You'd love to see that. Where

170
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,720
did the question go about the momentum? Okay, Max Skywalker,

171
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,039
is the momentum on our side? Now? I think the

172
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,919
momentum is on the Clippers side in the sense that

173
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,480
they have the default amount of momentum you get from

174
00:10:54,519 --> 00:10:58,360
winning the previous game. They didn't close the game very well.

175
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,080
It wasn't, you know, a stomping or anything like that,

176
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,080
and they're going into an environment that is going to

177
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,399
be incredibly difficult to play in and They looked a

178
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,279
little gassed at the end of that game, so did

179
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:15,679
the Nuggets. But there is some momentum on the Clippers side,

180
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,159
but not any in a sense where I don't think

181
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:26,039
the Nuggets feel incredibly uncomfortable about Game seven, no more

182
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,240
uncomfortable out of Game seven than you would usually feel.

183
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:30,879
And this is not a credit a discredit to the

184
00:11:30,879 --> 00:11:33,840
Clippers at all. They had to win this game. They did.

185
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,960
They did everything they should have had to do to

186
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,559
win this game, and at the same time almost messed

187
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:46,879
the whole thing up. Klee, Sorry Kaylee, but I think

188
00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:49,279
the momentum, it's kind of even right now. I just

189
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:51,039
think the Clippers have the momentum of the sense that

190
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:59,360
they won the last game is the momentum. Hell of

191
00:11:59,399 --> 00:12:02,720
a performance from James Harden, and I mean, we've been

192
00:12:03,159 --> 00:12:04,679
I don't know if bagging on him is the right word,

193
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,519
because he's been bad the last couple of games. Forty

194
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:12,919
six minutes, he takes twenty shots. I mean, yeah, it's

195
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,840
it's nice. He was able to get eight assists because

196
00:12:14,879 --> 00:12:17,240
other guys were hitting shots. The Clippers started this game

197
00:12:17,879 --> 00:12:24,000
so cold. The Clippers started this game oh for nine,

198
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,240
from three to oh for ten or something like that,

199
00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:30,200
and they were still in it, which is a testament

200
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,039
to just kind of not rolling over or not you know,

201
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:39,120
letting that bother them. But they started off so cold

202
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:51,399
in this game and they were able to pull it out. Yeah, guy, hilarious,

203
00:12:51,399 --> 00:12:55,879
This is very funny. Uh Kawhi is clippers second tallest

204
00:12:55,879 --> 00:12:58,320
starter and he is shorter than three of the Nuggets starters.

205
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,519
Think about that. I don't want to. I don't give

206
00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:04,440
a shit about that. It's game seven that has nothing,

207
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,559
that has not affected anything. Thank you for the comment,

208
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,240
but I don't. It's funny to think about because it

209
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,879
doesn't matter, as is asking what am I sipping on

210
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:21,960
a whiskey soda? I'm having four roses and Lacroix lemon

211
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:25,960
cello kind of tastes like whiskey cake would be my advice.

212
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,480
It's pretty good. Yeah. The Clippers were one of twelve

213
00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:36,000
at this point, thank you, Wabbi. And they kept going.

214
00:13:36,039 --> 00:13:38,200
They were getting the shots, they were getting the looks.

215
00:13:38,879 --> 00:13:42,480
They did it back down from that. The other fantastic

216
00:13:42,519 --> 00:13:44,919
thing about this game is if you look at the

217
00:13:44,919 --> 00:13:48,360
field goal attempts at the end of the game, the

218
00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:50,360
Clippers only had two more than the Nuggets, but at

219
00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:52,279
one point the Clippers had seven more. It was like

220
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,600
the third quarter. I think they had seven more and

221
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,720
that was good. They were winning the possession battle early

222
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,600
late in the game, they couldn't close defensive possessions. But

223
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,440
two got a fantastic block. But two is leading the

224
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:09,679
series in blocks, by the way, which is crazy. But

225
00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:13,799
they couldn't close possessions in this game late, which coming

226
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,759
back to that momentum question is why I think there's

227
00:14:15,759 --> 00:14:20,919
no real momentum on a huge momentum swing, right, saying

228
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,600
seven dollars for Game seven, appreciate it. Ray, Shout out

229
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,600
any Clippers fans We're gonna somehow be in the building

230
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,960
at Game seven. That's gonna be incredible. Shout out to

231
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,440
the Into It crowd too, I have not mentioned them yet.

232
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:36,000
Hats off to the wall, Hats off to everyone who

233
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:42,799
is an Into It Dome. A fantastic ah, hopefully not final,

234
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,799
you know, for game for the Clippers this year, but

235
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,759
a fantastic first round for the Into It Dome. And

236
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:54,480
now joining the show, we have William Updyke. Well, I'm very.

237
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: Impressed for time.

238
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, how you feeling, man, I've kind of I was

239
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,399
just talking a little bit about the slow end to

240
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:05,039
this game.

241
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:08,519
Speaker 2: But they were tired, man, they were tired.

242
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,759
Speaker 1: How you feel it that after the wind though.

243
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 3: I'm feeling great, I'm feeling great. It got a little

244
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,320
maybe closer than it needed to. But I do think

245
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,200
that that was like a function of how much they'd

246
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:23,639
expended on the floor. And it does like, I mean,

247
00:15:23,639 --> 00:15:25,679
this was the thing that was so puzzling to me

248
00:15:25,759 --> 00:15:28,639
in that game five is I do understand the impetus

249
00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:31,759
to get into actions a little bit quicker in the

250
00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:34,840
shot clock. I just thought it felt like a big

251
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,440
over adjustment to try and play as fast as they were,

252
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,440
And I think we got a good medium balance here

253
00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:45,279
for the majority of this game where things did look

254
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,879
a little quicker, we certainly saw some better ball movement,

255
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,320
like at the peak of when this offense was looking

256
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,519
like it could and then late it just you know,

257
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,360
it was the opposite end of the spectrum where.

258
00:15:56,159 --> 00:15:59,639
Speaker 2: It really really slows down, and unfortunately the efficiency, the

259
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,720
efficiency just wasn't really there.

260
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,679
Speaker 1: Which someone pointed out that it was like the slow

261
00:16:05,759 --> 00:16:07,919
down was like part of the strategy and that they

262
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:08,600
were tired.

263
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,039
Speaker 3: Of it was it was, it was one hundred percent

264
00:16:12,039 --> 00:16:14,279
strategic with with that kind of like with a double

265
00:16:14,279 --> 00:16:17,360
digit lead, it does definitely behoove you to take as

266
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,120
much time off the clock as you can. You'd hope

267
00:16:20,159 --> 00:16:23,240
to get uh, you would hope to get some better

268
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,720
shots off. I am going crazy. I try to contain this,

269
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,559
but defensively they.

270
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:32,559
Speaker 2: Were like they were just so much sharper as well.

271
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 3: They there was an early uh, there was an early

272
00:16:35,759 --> 00:16:39,639
Gordon baseline cut that I think Harden could have sealed

273
00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:43,200
them off from the basket and didn't, And I got worried.

274
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 2: But they were able to course, you were really able

275
00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:46,039
to turn it around.

276
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: Any rational Clippers fan was worried for Yeah, like they

277
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,720
almost they almost pissed this one into overtime.

278
00:16:54,039 --> 00:16:54,399
Speaker 2: For sure.

279
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:59,879
Speaker 1: The crunch tile offense was bad. Jonathan Day, Yeah, I

280
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,600
mean you have to assume that Patom's starting on Saturday.

281
00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 3: I think so, man, I think I think again, Done

282
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:14,119
is going to have a like a very small amount

283
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,359
of wiggle room, a very small amount of leeway. You know,

284
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,160
if he gets the switch onto a bigger guy and

285
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,039
they're able to score and then he misses a three,

286
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,519
I mean he's getting pulled. He played what like ten

287
00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:29,359
minutes tonight. I like, don't be surprised in a winner

288
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,000
go home situation, like if he's not immediately popping, if

289
00:17:33,039 --> 00:17:36,880
his impact isn't immediately felt, and they can't mitigate, you know,

290
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,720
some of the shortcomings on the offensive end, He's just

291
00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:41,200
not going to be able to stay on the floor.

292
00:17:41,319 --> 00:17:44,039
And they are gonna run. I mean, they're gonna run

293
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,960
with their whoever happens to be the best five that night,

294
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,960
which I mean we already know three of them, and

295
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,960
then you know, pick pick your other two, but likely

296
00:17:54,039 --> 00:17:56,960
Norm Powell and Niko Batum and they will run those guys.

297
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,759
And that is you know, what those guys can do

298
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,519
is whether or not you get out of this series.

299
00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:06,440
And I you know, it's it's tough that it's come

300
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,400
down to this, just because I feel like, obviously, outside

301
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:15,720
of that Game five, we've looked like the you know,

302
00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:19,200
we've overall looked like the better team. It really it

303
00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:22,119
really sucks to have done to have dropped both that

304
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,920
game one, uh and that game four at home. Those

305
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,799
ones both really really hurt. And when the game that

306
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,000
Game four happened, I mean, it was like one of

307
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,319
the craziest like moments I've seen playoffs, but I mean no,

308
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,759
but I mean initially when that happened, I was like, oh,

309
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:43,119
I mean like I'm not pleased with the result, but

310
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,039
like things were so close I felt, I still felt

311
00:18:46,079 --> 00:18:48,640
really confident that they would be able to maybe snag

312
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,319
one on the road and close it at home. That

313
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,839
wasn't the case, and I felt a lot worse obviously

314
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,119
about this series going through two, especially with just how

315
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,599
poorly they looked against Denver in that game.

316
00:18:59,799 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 2: So so yeah, well we'll.

317
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:05,599
Speaker 3: See, but it comes down to like how how how

318
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,319
long can you ride your best five?

319
00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:11,559
Speaker 1: And well, because we saw some new stuff rotation wise too, right,

320
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,000
like Harden, what was it?

321
00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 2: Sorry?

322
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,759
Speaker 1: I had it in here quiet Harden started the second

323
00:19:17,799 --> 00:19:21,519
together for the first time this series, but Harden didn't

324
00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:24,359
play the whole first so Ty was kind of stealing

325
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,079
this rest and forget. But you're I think you're absolutely

326
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,279
right about dub I don't think he starts. I think

327
00:19:30,279 --> 00:19:35,519
he'll probably get ten minutes because well maybe he doesn't.

328
00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:36,000
I don't know.

329
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,559
Speaker 3: Charge again, it's just it's just gonna depend, like I think,

330
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,480
you know, if he can make an impact on the game,

331
00:19:42,519 --> 00:19:44,480
which we have seen him do it's not like, you know,

332
00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:49,000
it's not like this is impossible. If he can make

333
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,160
an immediate impact on the game, yes, I think he

334
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,359
can get into that ten to twelve minute range. If not,

335
00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,960
I would be very surprised if he If he played,

336
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:58,400
if he played double digit minutes.

337
00:19:58,759 --> 00:20:04,559
Speaker 1: So Firstub off the bench is Bogden, Probably Bogden. Also,

338
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,240
he was only two of six in this game. Bogged In.

339
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,359
Bogden played well in this game. There was some good

340
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,400
bogged In moments of this game. He hit a huge

341
00:20:14,519 --> 00:20:19,039
three in the second half, which which was nice. But

342
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,079
I don't know, guys were clutch when they needed to

343
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,720
be in this game, you know what I mean. Like

344
00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:26,799
it wasn't a totally overall smooth game from everybody, but

345
00:20:27,079 --> 00:20:32,599
guys stepped up what they needed to step up. I'm

346
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,599
excited for one thing that I'm a little worried about

347
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:41,759
with Batub starting is Yeah, Jonathan Ang saying he thought

348
00:20:41,799 --> 00:20:44,440
Derek Jones Junior was more impactful tonight than done. Derek

349
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:49,720
Jones Jr. Absolutely was. Derek had a good game. Yeah,

350
00:20:50,039 --> 00:20:53,279
I liked LA Clippers Film tweeted this like this kind

351
00:20:53,279 --> 00:20:56,240
of later when Derek Jones was like hitting shots he

352
00:20:56,319 --> 00:20:58,200
was like, this is the Derek Jones we need. Just

353
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,519
like this idea of his offense could be so helpful

354
00:21:02,559 --> 00:21:04,400
to the Clippers.

355
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: I mean, how could it not be.

356
00:21:07,799 --> 00:21:10,279
Speaker 3: Like we've talked all season about how I mean, I

357
00:21:10,319 --> 00:21:13,519
you know, I love the look that he I love

358
00:21:13,559 --> 00:21:14,119
the look that he.

359
00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 2: Brings out there.

360
00:21:14,759 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I love the athleticism I love you know,

361
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,599
I love the size and the way that he can

362
00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:23,519
guard up. It's just knocking down those open threes.

363
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 2: And they were even.

364
00:21:26,559 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 3: Talking about it on the broadcast, like Denverrick sort of

365
00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:30,279
wasn't leaving a body on him on some of those

366
00:21:30,279 --> 00:21:33,440
offensive rebounds and unfortunately he didn't convert. Because that, I mean,

367
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,759
that makes an even stronger argument for like why he

368
00:21:35,839 --> 00:21:38,920
needs to be out there on the floor. But who

369
00:21:39,279 --> 00:21:40,559
you know, who knows we could see more of that

370
00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:41,319
in Game seven.

371
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,799
Speaker 1: I like this probably form weds though he has a

372
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,279
nice jumper for it to be cliking so much, like

373
00:21:46,319 --> 00:21:51,559
it's not like a busted looking jumper. Someone in the

374
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:56,559
chat was asking about if Ben Simmons was at the game. Yeah,

375
00:21:56,599 --> 00:22:01,279
Ben Simmons is out of the playoff rotation at this point,

376
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,559
because I mean he.

377
00:22:03,599 --> 00:22:08,559
Speaker 3: Was good, But yeah, unless like unless there's Fouel trouble

378
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,920
or something. I think that, yeah, I think that he

379
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,799
we might have seen the last of him in this

380
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,359
series for now.

381
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: I mean you know it is for now because there's

382
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,279
only one more game with a series.

383
00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, well, I mean like we're from where I'm

384
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,279
sitting right now, like maybe there's situationally something that comes up,

385
00:22:28,319 --> 00:22:31,680
but I'm not seeing it from this vantage point.

386
00:22:31,839 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: So we got some postgame quotes to talk about. We're

387
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,960
gonna take a quick audio break actually because I we

388
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,079
are going to put this out on audio affter this game,

389
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,400
so there would be a quick audio break and then

390
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,000
we're back talking post game and three two what hey,

391
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,279
we're back, well back into the post I'm back. End

392
00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:53,240
of the post game logan wrap. Hello logan saying I'm

393
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,319
not worried Aboutkawhi and Hard and gasing out so much

394
00:22:55,319 --> 00:23:00,720
as I worried about Zoubot's gassing out. Fair call did

395
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:05,240
have a quote about from postgames from Justin Russo. Support

396
00:23:05,279 --> 00:23:08,920
all the Clippers beat writers support Justin Russo, support, Lobry support,

397
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:15,279
Timer support, Joey Lynn support, Farbaud, everybody. If I forgot anybody,

398
00:23:15,319 --> 00:23:20,000
I'm sorry, support Jana's carr. Tyron Lew said that James Harden,

399
00:23:20,039 --> 00:23:22,559
who played the final thirty six minutes tonight and forty

400
00:23:22,559 --> 00:23:26,240
seven overall, was pretty gas down the stretch as you'd expect,

401
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,720
to which Tylu said that he took a couple of

402
00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:33,160
timeouts to try and save him for the end. Not

403
00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:42,000
incredibly surprising. Yeah, if you watch this game, ty said

404
00:23:42,039 --> 00:23:44,119
that Zoom was a monster on the defensive end tonight

405
00:23:44,279 --> 00:23:45,920
for his work on the Kola Jokic.

406
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: Incredible, absolutely incredible. They got back to that.

407
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 3: Too, because we did see a lot more of Harden

408
00:23:53,640 --> 00:24:00,319
on Joic last and uh and like getting back to

409
00:24:00,599 --> 00:24:03,160
being able to keep Zoo on him and really make

410
00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:06,680
him work. Nick Batoomb also did an excellent job. Like

411
00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:08,640
you know, Yokic was able to get the better of

412
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,599
him on on some possessions, but it wasn't it wasn't easy.

413
00:24:13,519 --> 00:24:16,279
Speaker 1: Right, They made him work. There was a good foul

414
00:24:16,279 --> 00:24:19,200
in this game. I liked that Van Gundy pointed out.

415
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,000
I think it was the end of the second half

416
00:24:21,079 --> 00:24:23,440
where it was like Jokicic was setting It was late

417
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,599
in the clock, Yokic was setting a screen and Derek

418
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,119
Jones Junior because they had a foul to give just

419
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,640
like fouled him, like purposely fouled him. But Van Gundy

420
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,799
pointed out he was like, that's just an extra bump

421
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,720
you're giving this guy now, like he's like, this is

422
00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:39,799
like I think he might have said, like a chopping

423
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,640
down a tree, like like they're making him work for

424
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,480
that kind of stuff. The block he had on him

425
00:24:47,519 --> 00:24:51,200
was great. That was like a textbook I think it

426
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:56,240
was like third quarter or something like that. Yeah, hello,

427
00:24:56,319 --> 00:24:58,240
a get happy that James Harden gets to talk to

428
00:24:58,279 --> 00:24:59,400
the media today, right.

429
00:24:59,759 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean if you just continue the tradition

430
00:25:03,279 --> 00:25:06,000
of bailing, I feel like it'd be pretty funny.

431
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:10,519
Speaker 1: Pace to get Mark Mark Jag asking who's the backup center? Two.

432
00:25:11,039 --> 00:25:13,880
It's it's always been I'm houlding the gun. It's always

433
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,200
been Nick Patoo. Dude.

434
00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 3: It's good that we can get back to that like

435
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,880
that we can that we can play small ball in stretches,

436
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,599
especially against a team like Denver, because when you look

437
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,519
at actually, you know what, I don't even want to

438
00:25:28,519 --> 00:25:29,839
go there. I don't even want to talk about it.

439
00:25:29,839 --> 00:25:31,119
I don't even want to start to think about it.

440
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,960
Look at matchups for a potential future series.

441
00:25:34,079 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: So that yeah, we can't even my brain. The only

442
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,759
thing I have past Saturday in my brain is that

443
00:25:40,759 --> 00:25:43,279
I'm playing baseball on Sunday. That's it. That's all I'm

444
00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:46,319
thinking about. B West saying I love the lineup of

445
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:51,640
James Harden, arm Power, Bogging Kawhi and Nick Batub. That

446
00:25:51,839 --> 00:25:55,480
was the first time all year that that lineup played,

447
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,599
which makes it makes it's it's a wild light up

448
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,359
and I don't than that disrespect, like it's a light

449
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,680
up that works in small bits in the playoffs, but

450
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:09,880
like it was, it worked.

451
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, well, and I mean, you know, Bogen has

452
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,720
ups and downs in the regular like in the regular season,

453
00:26:15,799 --> 00:26:21,279
was a little bit slow to start, and he played

454
00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:23,160
his way into being like a part of this lineup

455
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:24,920
you know, through through this series.

456
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: Really, Mark Jagg, thank you freak for the super chat.

457
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,559
Mark Jagg asking questions that have answers. If you use

458
00:26:33,599 --> 00:26:36,440
your brain, how does Batoob start and as the backup

459
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,920
center unless you start Derek Jones Junior, because they're probably

460
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,759
gonna sub out Batoom for Derek Jones Junior, and then

461
00:26:42,839 --> 00:26:44,640
Zoo will come out, and then Butto will play again.

462
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,759
The main guys are gonna have to play a lot

463
00:26:46,759 --> 00:26:47,160
of minutes.

464
00:26:47,759 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean like like thisriction.

465
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,599
Speaker 3: Like yeah, I mean as as I said as soon

466
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,279
as we got on here, like it comes down to,

467
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,839
like your five best guys, how long can you ride

468
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:01,599
the how long can they be effective?

469
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 2: And that's it? Like that, you know, that's kind of it.

470
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, the way that it works also, I don't mean

471
00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:10,640
to be disrespectful, but the way that it works is

472
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,519
guys play multiple positions throughout the game and they all

473
00:27:13,519 --> 00:27:20,480
play forty minutes. Like that's kind of how it goes. Dan,

474
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,720
dam if this if this is my handyman, Damn, I

475
00:27:24,759 --> 00:27:28,559
am gonna lose my mind, said, rank the best Yokic

476
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,519
defenders all the Clippers, because I mean it's zoo and

477
00:27:32,599 --> 00:27:34,039
then it doesn't really I don't know. So it was

478
00:27:34,039 --> 00:27:37,400
great tonight, like wonky but good.

479
00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

480
00:27:40,039 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: Someone asked about momentum earlier, will I said the Clippers.

481
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,519
They asked, who has the momentum. I said that the

482
00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:50,880
Clippers have the momentum only in the sense that they

483
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,000
won the game before.

484
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:58,400

00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: What up, Santy? Yeah, the last six minutes almost gave

498
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,599
Chunk a heart attack. Agreed that, Like, so that's why

499
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,440
the men momentum. Also right, like they didn't like stomp

500
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:51,240
them out. They didn't finish this game strong, not like

501
00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:53,559
we would have loved that to have happened. Obviously it

502
00:28:53,599 --> 00:28:57,720
is a playoffs that's more difficult, but it was it

503
00:28:57,759 --> 00:28:57,920
was not.

504
00:29:01,279 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I agree with you, and I do like

505
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,839
I do agree and here with everyone's frustrations about holding

506
00:29:07,839 --> 00:29:10,480
onto the ball and really like draining those possessions out.

507
00:29:12,319 --> 00:29:17,440
There wasn't enough gas in the tank to get into

508
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,440
any sort of foot race, and there wasn't realistically.

509
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,559
Speaker 2: I mean, like, look at they built that huge, huge lead.

510
00:29:25,119 --> 00:29:27,279
Speaker 3: I like, so much went right for the Clippers and

511
00:29:27,279 --> 00:29:28,680
a lot went wrong for the Nugets. You weren't going

512
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,000
to get back to back quarters like that, and then

513
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,599
the Clippers went so cold.

514
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they went so cold.

515
00:29:34,079 --> 00:29:40,519
Speaker 3: I mean that's that's just how it happens. And I

516
00:29:40,559 --> 00:29:43,039
just think, I mean, it was it just it was

517
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,440
strategy to run that much time off the clock. It

518
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,240
was not strategy to go like three and a half

519
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,400
scoreless minutes. I think three and a half minutes without

520
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,680
even a field goal attemp, a registered field goal attempt,

521
00:29:54,759 --> 00:29:57,960
So that wasn't ideal, but.

522
00:29:59,519 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: Attemps, I don't think.

523
00:30:02,279 --> 00:30:04,039
Speaker 3: I just don't think there was another I don't think

524
00:30:04,079 --> 00:30:06,400
there was another run left in these guys.

525
00:30:08,599 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm happy they did what they did instead

526
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,279
of trying to speed it up, because trying to speed

527
00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:16,839
it up would have looked a lot worse.

528
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh I do. We've just seen this. I will

529
00:30:22,039 --> 00:30:23,799
never get over that in game five.

530
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 3: I just I feel like that was like a hyper

531
00:30:25,759 --> 00:30:30,240
over adjustment to something that like, not that it didn't

532
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,319
need work, and they do need to get into actions

533
00:30:32,359 --> 00:30:35,319
faster than seven seconds left on the shot clock. But

534
00:30:36,079 --> 00:30:39,759
to try and like play fast when that hasn't been

535
00:30:39,799 --> 00:30:40,640
your game all year, I.

536
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,599
Speaker 2: Think is I think was a little foolhardy if I'm

537
00:30:43,599 --> 00:30:44,880
being totally honest to.

538
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, mister Polymedia, what a great day.

539
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 2: Said.

540
00:30:52,519 --> 00:30:54,599
Speaker 1: One thing that worries me is they only shot nine

541
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,759
free throws. They might get more in game seven.

542
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 2: We'll be at home.

543
00:30:58,599 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: We'll be at home. That was incredibly fair thing to

544
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,039
worry about. That that we're here to judge what you

545
00:31:04,079 --> 00:31:07,119
worry about. But I think I.

546
00:31:07,119 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 3: Think it's a fair thing to worry about. They did

547
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:13,000
do like there's been a weird whistle all game. I

548
00:31:13,039 --> 00:31:15,960
thought that this was one of the more diplomatic and

549
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,039
I do also feel at the same time though the

550
00:31:18,079 --> 00:31:21,640
Clippers did a much better job of defending without fouling.

551
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,119
Like you you know, there was you know, there was

552
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,319
maybe a couple that they might have gotten away with,

553
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,279
but otherwise, like a lot of that, Like it was

554
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,240
it was ball contact, it was all. It was just

555
00:31:32,319 --> 00:31:33,039
really dialed in.

556
00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:35,359
Speaker 1: You know what else the Clippers that they made their

557
00:31:35,559 --> 00:31:39,480
fucking free throws. Yeah, yeah, we made our free throws

558
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,319
in this game. Finally, bus pointing out another good stack.

559
00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:46,119
Clippers only turned the ball over seven times.

560
00:31:46,559 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: Oh, Charles.

561
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 3: So Charles had a huge gripe with how long the

562
00:31:50,039 --> 00:31:53,559
team waited to go to Denver for Game five? Yeah,

563
00:31:53,599 --> 00:31:55,400
are you hoping they're gassing up to play and.

564
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,599
Speaker 1: They need to be in the air. They need to

565
00:31:59,599 --> 00:32:03,680
be fill Collins after this game in the air tonight

566
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,079
is what the Clippers seem to be. Get to Denver

567
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,559
right now. They have the reservation. Get your ass to

568
00:32:11,599 --> 00:32:16,400
Denver right now, acclimate as quickly as possible to the

569
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,440
Denver altitude. Like, I know, DA is a nightmare the land,

570
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,079
the land at like what is it like? Probably midnight

571
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,000
and they'll get to the hotel by three in the morning,

572
00:32:28,279 --> 00:32:33,839
because that's how DA works. But like, get to Denver? Please?

573
00:32:34,079 --> 00:32:36,400
Were they gonna get there tomorrow at three pm?

574
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: It'll be a morning play.

575
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,599
Speaker 1: See it could be a it's a red eye. Who cares? Chat?

576
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,319
Let me chat, Let me know if your team get

577
00:32:47,359 --> 00:32:52,880
to Denver tonight or not. Okay, there's a lot of

578
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:58,880
people talking about Westbrook in the chat. He was half

579
00:32:59,279 --> 00:33:03,119
he played for both teams tonight because he did shoot

580
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:07,559
fifty percent and he did have ten rebounds and six assists.

581
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:13,799
But he did also fuck up a couple of times. Yeah,

582
00:33:14,599 --> 00:33:18,160
hold on in what sense, Chuck? In what sense is

583
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,720
flying the day before and saying to you, is it

584
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,160
it's too late or too soon? Because you get we

585
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:28,440
just need more detail. I'm right by the way.

586
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,319
Speaker 3: Charles is convinced they waited way too long to get

587
00:33:30,359 --> 00:33:33,119
to Denver in Game five and that is the That's.

588
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,839
Speaker 1: Not why they lost, but it didn't help, Thank you, Logan.

589
00:33:38,119 --> 00:33:40,000
What's just what's the issue?

590
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,519
Speaker 2: He had a comment that I actually want.

591
00:33:43,359 --> 00:33:46,799
Speaker 1: To go back to. Are you on the host?

592
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,119
Speaker 2: This was Eric Pugh.

593
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,759
Speaker 3: He was asking why not post up Kawhi more on

594
00:33:50,759 --> 00:33:52,240
those run out of the clock possessions?

595
00:33:52,319 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 2: I agree hundred percent. I do think that that was.

596
00:33:54,359 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: Like really died from the elbow, and.

597
00:33:56,759 --> 00:33:58,599
Speaker 3: I think that they were trying to get to him.

598
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,480
But with how efficient? Why was in his spots that

599
00:34:01,559 --> 00:34:04,920
like the Denver defense was hyper aware of that and

600
00:34:05,119 --> 00:34:06,519
they were sort of content.

601
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,280
Speaker 2: To let the Clippers keep the ball sort of on

602
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:08,840
the perimeter.

603
00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:14,679
Speaker 3: And yeah, it was an ideal, man, It wasn't ideal,

604
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,000
but it was effective, is all I'm gonna say.

605
00:34:17,079 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it worked, we got the win. It was you know,

606
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:21,199
it was.

607
00:34:21,159 --> 00:34:26,159
Speaker 1: Fine, uh, nostalgically and just for what gave me a

608
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:28,199
lot of what gave me confidence early in this game

609
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,079
was Kawhi from that elbow, Kawhi on the left elbow

610
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,199
was cash.

611
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

612
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well in just the way that he was

613
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,880
able to get there. I think Adam Adam brought up.

614
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 2: A really good point.

615
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 3: It's just like it's just a matter of like can

616
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,119
he get can he get to the spot? Like how

617
00:34:44,559 --> 00:34:47,119
much can a defense counter to keep him from getting

618
00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:50,400
to those? And it was it was easy, it was

619
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:51,400
it was easy for him.

620
00:34:51,639 --> 00:34:52,559
Speaker 2: It was easy for him tonight.

621
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

622
00:34:54,039 --> 00:34:57,679
Speaker 2: Also, I just wanted to pose this question, Yeah, was

623
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,760
this James Harden's like maybe best game of his entire career?

624
00:35:02,679 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: Uh chat look up his stats if you could, in

625
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,000
his game six, but probably I just want to level

626
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,559
set before we move further about the James Harden game six.

627
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,960
If you'd like to look and see visually how everyone

628
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,880
in the chat is agreeing with me that the Clippers

629
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,480
should get to Denver as soon as possible. You can

630
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,239
should subscribe to the channel at YouTube dot Collage Cyclomber's podcast.

631
00:35:25,679 --> 00:35:31,559
Everyone is saying get to Denver. What's the downside? They're

632
00:35:31,559 --> 00:35:33,440
not missing work like they're not.

633
00:35:34,119 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: You recover better at home, it does.

634
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: Game seven.

635
00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 2: Get there, Yeah that's fair.

636
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: Get there. Get there, and stay in a hotel that's

637
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,159
even higher than all the other hotels. So that way

638
00:35:46,199 --> 00:35:48,480
you're even double elevation. You know what I'm saying.

639
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,280
Speaker 2: Get that mile high hotel.

640
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 1: Also, we got a just some marketing talk. I'm tired

641
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:02,719
of the five and eighty in Denver. We get it.

642
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, we all know what.

643
00:36:08,679 --> 00:36:12,119
Speaker 1: Okay, we lost our train of thought, chunk saying the

644
00:36:12,199 --> 00:36:15,360
damn season is on the line. Oh, here we go.

645
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:20,400
From Law Murray via ray I get all my law

646
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,000
Murray tweets from ray Tonight was the first time James

647
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,960
Harden won an elimination game since the Bubble. Game seven

648
00:36:27,039 --> 00:36:30,199
versus Oklahoma City broke a five game losing streaking games

649
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,880
where his team had to win to stay alive. Wow,

650
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,199
Lux on our side, baby, he was Yeah, he was phenomenal.

651
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:45,159
He was great. Best Game six since Houston. Yeah, I'm

652
00:36:45,159 --> 00:36:49,119
gonna take a shot for Clipper Nation. So it is

653
00:36:49,159 --> 00:36:51,159
an early game. Will would you vam? Wait?

654
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 3: Which Game six in Houston? Because didn't they get eliminated

655
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,760
six to the Warriors and then didn't. Weren't they up

656
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,800
three to two and then lost Game six and then

657
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,239
lost Game seven and the Warriors.

658
00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 1: Let me look, dude, that I need you?

659
00:37:02,079 --> 00:37:03,559
Speaker 2: Is my memory serving me correctly?

660
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm gonna look and then I need

661
00:37:05,519 --> 00:37:09,800

662
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:16,880
career playoffs, hold on, I could use a computer. Wow,

663
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:23,440
he's had a lot of Game six is game six?

664
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 2: Okay? Steve is disagreeing.

665
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,199
Speaker 3: He's saying, get a good night's rest at to Denver

666
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,679
early tomorrow morning, which I'm kind of on board with.

667
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,400
I think that's where I'm at.

668
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 1: How early it's ten thirty right now?

669
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 2: Nine.

670
00:37:38,519 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: They're not getting the bet, they're not. These guys are

671
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,079
going to These boys aren't going to sleep.

672
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,119
Speaker 2: Wings up at nine, Wings up?

673
00:37:48,599 --> 00:37:52,519
Speaker 1: All right? Wow. Basketball Reference has a horrible way to

674
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,519
organize this. Okay, Yeah, I'm not looking at this right now.

675
00:37:56,599 --> 00:37:59,119
It was his best game six, and someone I think

676
00:37:59,119 --> 00:38:01,880
we can easily say, yeah, I think we can easily.

677
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,480
I think we can figure that out. Oh, here we

678
00:38:06,559 --> 00:38:13,039
go hard twenty fifteen games six ROS with Clippers twenty three. No,

679
00:38:13,159 --> 00:38:20,920
that's not as good as tonight. Okay, Cicadian rhythm is important.

680
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,800
Our reptility, I mean our reptility, your sleep. It's just

681
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:29,840
like a cicada. He would sleep just like a cicada. Oh,

682
00:38:30,039 --> 00:38:34,000
very noisily, very noisily, very loud. Okay, we got to

683
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,920
get off the flight subject. Oh yeah, one last thing

684
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,760
I do want to circle back to, though, Yeah, circle

685
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:41,880
back to make another drink.

686
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, reflight is how is everybody.

687
00:38:44,159 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: Feeling about Wait are we talking about the flight again?

688
00:38:46,159 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

689
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,519
Speaker 3: How is everybody feeling about this four thirty pm game?

690
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: Because incredibly fair question, though, because I don't like that

691
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:53,280
at all.

692
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,519
Speaker 2: It's an it's an interesting star time.

693
00:38:55,599 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 3: The Clippers have, you know, struggled with alt with all

694
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:00,719
Star Time all start.

695
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 2: They're you know, they're they're like.

696
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 3: Me, They're more of a seven pm kind of that's

697
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,599
when you wake up that that's when you start to

698
00:39:08,599 --> 00:39:09,119
get to it.

699
00:39:10,119 --> 00:39:12,639
Speaker 2: They do need those rem dreams, they need that that

700
00:39:12,639 --> 00:39:13,480
that deep sleep.

701
00:39:16,039 --> 00:39:16,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I.

702
00:39:18,519 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 2: Guess I don't know how to feel about it. I'm

703
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,280
glad that it's earlier in the day just.

704
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 3: So I don't have to be on on pins and

705
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,239
needles all day long personally.

706
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:31,599
Speaker 2: But oh yeah, as far as for them.

707
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 3: I mean for Denver. You know, they're you They're a

708
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,519
mountain time over there. It's five three.

709
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:41,679
Speaker 1: They're losing their damn what. Yeah, they haven't advantaged an

710
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:47,199
hour ahead in their own city. Now, the afternoon time

711
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,079
is weird, But I think I think because the Clippers

712
00:39:51,119 --> 00:39:55,039
got bit in the last afternoon time game, that they're

713
00:39:55,039 --> 00:39:56,239
not going to fuck this one up.

714
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,599
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, Joshua Man come through the

715
00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:02,239
clutch snatch.

716
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 3: Tonight was Harden's first ever game six win, with twenty

717
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:09,239
plus points on above six sixty per century shooting percent, which,

718
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,159
just by the bye, if you drop a realistic enough

719
00:40:12,199 --> 00:40:16,199
sounding stat in this just on this show, it might

720
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:16,960
just pop up on here.

721
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 2: I'm not going to fact check you.

722
00:40:18,079 --> 00:40:19,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, can we say drop a link?

723
00:40:21,159 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 2: You don't have to send me a no till needed.

724
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: I'm going to need a receipt one D. Sorry. So

725
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,559
what are we looking for in game seven other than

726
00:40:34,559 --> 00:40:36,880
the lineup change? If there's not a lineup change, I

727
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,239
would be surprised, and I would also be incredibly upset

728
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,320
at this point.

729
00:40:41,599 --> 00:40:46,039
Speaker 3: The only reason, the only reason I could for see

730
00:40:46,159 --> 00:40:49,360
there not being a lineup change is you just want

731
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,679
to see you just want to see.

732
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: Thank you, Joshua, I appreciate that. I was just double

733
00:40:54,559 --> 00:40:57,119
checking for those of you listening, Joshua said, I have

734
00:40:57,199 --> 00:40:59,760
bassa reference. Okay, I didn't think you were lying. I

735
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,079
just want to you know, I like sources.

736
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 2: I lost my train of thought.

737
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,119
Speaker 1: Sorry, that's not bad. No, you were saying, you can

738
00:41:09,159 --> 00:41:11,000
only see not change in the starting lineup.

739
00:41:11,079 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 3: If oh, if you're worried about the if you're worried

740
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,119
about the motor or along ja jevity of the tune,

741
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:17,079
because this is.

742
00:41:18,559 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 2: Which is it? He's played?

743
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 3: Well, this was what like the fourth thirty plus minute

744
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:25,320
game he played all season.

745
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, he averaged seventeen minutes per game.

746
00:41:29,599 --> 00:41:34,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's the only reason that that would be

747
00:41:34,079 --> 00:41:37,440
the only reason. Or if you think, if you if

748
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,960
you think, if you think that you can get enough

749
00:41:40,039 --> 00:41:44,199
out of Done to keep him on the floor, then

750
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,199
why wouldn't you you know, it just it just alleviates,

751
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,639
it alleviates some of that burden. We've already had people

752
00:41:49,679 --> 00:41:51,960
bringing up the very astute point. You know, if Simons

753
00:41:52,039 --> 00:41:54,039
out of the rotation, but two is your backup center.

754
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,320
If you can keep you know, if you can keep

755
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,920
Chris Done on the floor. That would be a huge man.

756
00:42:00,159 --> 00:42:02,440
And that was another one of those bummers about Chris

757
00:42:02,519 --> 00:42:05,159
Done shooting so well in that game five and then

758
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:08,079
still getting there out.

759
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,199
Speaker 1: I hate wasting the good Chris Doune shooting game. Yeah, yeah,

760
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:21,519
it's it's hard, it's yeah. I think the point about

761
00:42:21,559 --> 00:42:25,280
Batoom's energy is entirely fair, and I hope people listening

762
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:31,199
and watching understand that because if you can get because

763
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,119
maybe maybe dun does only play ten minutes again right,

764
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,760
like we're not maybe he does just play ten minutes,

765
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,400
you hope he shoots fifty percent or whatever in those

766
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,599
minutes and you go from there. Because Bogie was good.

767
00:42:45,039 --> 00:42:48,000
So like I think, like you look at the minutes

768
00:42:48,039 --> 00:42:58,079
tonight and like bog Bogie played nineteen between that goes down. Yeah, Like,

769
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,159
I don't know. I don't think we can get so

770
00:43:00,679 --> 00:43:02,320
Chuck is saying, if we can get away with it,

771
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:03,679
Chris Done doesn't play.

772
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 2: A minute, that's what. I don't think that's gonna happen.

773
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they can. I don't think they can

774
00:43:07,559 --> 00:43:08,480
get away.

775
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:09,559
Speaker 2: I don't think they can.

776
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,119
Speaker 3: And I realized I've said, like, you know, the entire

777
00:43:14,199 --> 00:43:15,960
ye of this game is gonna come down like to

778
00:43:16,039 --> 00:43:17,400
how how long.

779
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 2: And like how long you can ride your best five?

780
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:22,800
It can't be forty eight minutes?

781
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:27,559
Speaker 1: Oh shit, idea eighty six. That I saw y'all at

782
00:43:27,559 --> 00:43:30,079
Shadow Lanes a while back. That's probably my birthday party.

783
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,519
Nice Adam was there too.

784
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 2: I was probably crushing. It was actually skilled bowler.

785
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,079
Speaker 1: If anyone ever sees me at Shadow lay and say

786
00:43:41,079 --> 00:43:48,480
what's up, I'm my friendliest at Shadow Lanes. Okay, we

787
00:43:48,599 --> 00:43:50,719
gotta nip this a little bit in the butt. If

788
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,440
they go away from Dune, they need to play Derek

789
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:53,880
Jones Junior and a Mere Coffee.

790
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 2: Coffee's not playing in this series.

791
00:43:57,519 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: And it's that I don't like. It's not the we

792
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,800
don't think a Mere Coffee is a good player or

793
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:07,119
anything like that. Tylu has explicitly said that this isn't

794
00:44:07,159 --> 00:44:09,679
the series for a Mere Coffee. The man hasn't played

795
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,920
basketball in a very long time. His last appearance was

796
00:44:13,559 --> 00:44:16,480
I think on like April thirteenth, and he played four minutes.

797
00:44:16,599 --> 00:44:19,360
And I don't mean this disrespectfully, but he's just just

798
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,840
don't hope for a mer to get tied, because that's

799
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:26,639
not gonna happen. And it's not what the Clippers need,

800
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,840
Like they're not going to Game seven because of Meer

801
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,400
hasn't and I've got shitting on a mirror. I like

802
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,159
a mere coffee as a regular season player a lot.

803
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do too, and in I mean, I guess

804
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:38,639
it would just depend.

805
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 3: Like if his the rest of his regular season had

806
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,480
gone a little bit better, I could see maybe a more.

807
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 2: Of a spot for him in this playoff rotation. But like,

808
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,320
who would you play him.

809
00:44:50,199 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 3: Over in the rotation tonight, because I gotta be honest

810
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,360
with a beer, Yeah, there's no one that I would

811
00:44:56,679 --> 00:44:59,280
like take. There's there's no one that I would have

812
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:03,360
taken minutes from from tonight's rotation to give him your

813
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,840
coffee minutes. And that's not again, not a knock on

814
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,199
a mirror. It's like playoff rotations just what they are.

815
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:08,760
Speaker 2: They're short.

816
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: I want to find this law quote because this is

817
00:45:12,079 --> 00:45:18,920
so good. Thank you Logan rap Nikola jok Nicholas Patou

818
00:45:19,079 --> 00:45:23,559
is a much better shooter than Chris Dad. Even Carl

819
00:45:23,639 --> 00:45:29,239
Tart would agree with that take from Nikola Jokic. Thank

820
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,320
you for relaying these tweets. I have Twitter open, I'm

821
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,559
just not looking at it. So I appreciate everyone's sending

822
00:45:33,639 --> 00:45:38,079
us these. Okay, sorry, last thing about Amre coffee. I'm here.

823
00:45:38,079 --> 00:45:40,559
Coffee is going to be traded. He's an unrestricted free

824
00:45:40,559 --> 00:45:46,280
agent after this season, so he's gonna sign for somebody anyway.

825
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:50,119
And I don't again disrespectfully, We're not gonna talk about

826
00:45:50,159 --> 00:46:01,320
a mere coffee anymore. I'm feeling another quick audio break

827
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,199
that we're gonna talk about how you feel about game seven.

828
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,400
If you're listening on audio and you'd like to hang

829
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:09,039
out after a game, check our live streams at YouTube

830
00:46:09,079 --> 00:46:11,519
dot coups. Just at Clippers Podcast. There's me a quick

831
00:46:11,559 --> 00:46:13,960
audio break and then we're talking kind of game seven outlook,

832
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,480
because who knows if we're gonna do an episode before

833
00:46:16,519 --> 00:46:21,239
game seven because of certain events happening. Audio ads coming

834
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,559
up in three two? What all right?

835
00:46:23,559 --> 00:46:26,159
Speaker 3: Welcome back in Eclipsing Dip. We are live over on

836
00:46:26,199 --> 00:46:29,639
YouTube dot com. That's at Clippers Podcast, just talking about

837
00:46:29,679 --> 00:46:37,360
this crazy Clippers win game six to stay alive, looking ahead,

838
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,880
looking ahead of game seven, Charles, what do you what.

839
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 2: Are you expecting to see? What do you want to see? Basically,

840
00:46:43,519 --> 00:46:45,360
just Nick Patum in the starting lineup and more of the.

841
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:52,079
Speaker 1: Same Nick Patu in the starting lineup. I would like

842
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,039
to see, and I don't think. I think there's so

843
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,480
little things we can really choose from. Right, Like I

844
00:46:58,519 --> 00:47:02,199
loved what ty Loot did with the rotation tonight, I

845
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:02,559
want what.

846
00:47:02,599 --> 00:47:06,519
Speaker 3: Do you think about Harden, like sitting less than ninety

847
00:47:06,559 --> 00:47:07,559
seconds of this game?

848
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,039
Speaker 1: I think he should sit the last ninety seconds of

849
00:47:10,119 --> 00:47:14,559
the first and that's it. Well, if he's only gonna

850
00:47:14,559 --> 00:47:17,599
sit ninety seconds, yeah, sit in the last ninety second,

851
00:47:17,639 --> 00:47:22,000
which is basically what happened tonight. He sat, Kawhi came

852
00:47:22,039 --> 00:47:24,519
back in for Harden with one twenty five left in

853
00:47:24,599 --> 00:47:29,679
the first, and then he might have played the whole way.

854
00:47:31,519 --> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 2: He finished with forty six thirty five.

855
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:38,760
Speaker 1: So so it seems like the math checks out. Is

856
00:47:39,639 --> 00:47:44,039
I love what Tyler? Did you sit James for that

857
00:47:44,199 --> 00:47:46,519
last minute and a half? They start the second together

858
00:47:46,599 --> 00:47:49,639
for the second time this season, you start but two

859
00:47:51,079 --> 00:47:58,039
and you hope that the turnovers stay chill and that

860
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,840
someone else for the Nuggets doesn't go off because I

861
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,400
think is going to have a great game.

862
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 3: Well, so Mark Jack has an interesting question, just because

863
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,079
we're pretty dead set on probably.

864
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:09,599
Speaker 2: Batom being in the starting lineup.

865
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 3: We were even talking about this in our pregame last

866
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,119
game or stream or whatever.

867
00:48:15,119 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: Had some wild ideas whenever.

868
00:48:16,519 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 3: We were doing the last time we were there. But Bartjak

869
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:23,320
wants to know why not start DJ and I think

870
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:26,239
instead of Batom?

871
00:48:27,599 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: What do we mean.

872
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 2: Overdone? No?

873
00:48:32,199 --> 00:48:34,679
Speaker 3: I know, but like, well, I I mean, I just

874
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:39,599
think I think that Batom is like he is as

875
00:48:39,639 --> 00:48:43,719
he's the more reliable shooter. He is definitely a better facilitator,

876
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:46,199
and I think.

877
00:48:46,039 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: He's just a everything.

878
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 2: He's just been a lot more and he's just been

879
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:51,880
a lot more composed throughout this series.

880
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,559
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh, Derek Joch, your will have minutes not to say,

881
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:01,719
oh yeah, but you start Nico because yeah, because you

882
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:05,840
need that that settlement. Oh but that's what I'm thinking.

883
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:07,599
I'm sorry, I'm looking for your my notes to try

884
00:49:07,639 --> 00:49:09,440
and see what are you looking for? Like what are

885
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,400
you having for in game seven? Like because it's a

886
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:15,840
coin flip. Also, like this is gonna be an incredibly tense,

887
00:49:17,199 --> 00:49:20,679
horrible game. Oh, William Gonzalez, We're gonna get to our

888
00:49:20,679 --> 00:49:23,719
player to watch and if you're new to the show,

889
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,880
be ready for some of the most shocking limitations you

890
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,639
could ever put on a player to pick.

891
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,639
Speaker 2: Oh uh.

892
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:38,039
Speaker 3: Also, Christian Hackney wants to know if the tomb starts

893
00:49:38,079 --> 00:49:40,079
his dorm first off the bench like Nigo was. No,

894
00:49:40,199 --> 00:49:42,920
I think Chris don is coming off the bench really

895
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:49,400
for Nico. Sure, no, that's not how our rotations work.

896
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,000
You don't bring in a guard for forwards.

897
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:56,199
Speaker 2: But uh, sure Norm's not going to the bench if

898
00:49:56,199 --> 00:49:57,559
the tomb starts, is what I'm saying.

899
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,199
Speaker 1: No, yeah, Norm, I don't think Norm going anywhere, especially

900
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:08,119
after tonight. Norm's not going anywhere. Okay, uh, Ray says

901
00:50:08,159 --> 00:50:10,239
one if you needs to call Adam. He keeps chugging

902
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,119
diet coke during breaks and I fear for his kid days.

903
00:50:14,199 --> 00:50:15,760
I said to him the leak though.

904
00:50:15,639 --> 00:50:17,760
Speaker 3: I don't want to get into the man's dietary habits

905
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,280
here for another album, Okay, I don't want to get

906
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:20,679
into it.

907
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: He eats what he eats. Yeah, So I mean, yeah,

908
00:50:30,119 --> 00:50:34,480
Norm is not going Yeah, No, it's done. Who's going

909
00:50:34,519 --> 00:50:38,119
to the bench. It's not Norm Who's going to the Yeah?

910
00:50:41,119 --> 00:50:46,599
And the first off the bench will I don't know.

911
00:50:47,159 --> 00:50:52,920
I feel it's a game set. Yeah, man, because everyone.

912
00:50:54,119 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 2: Off the bench.

913
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,760
Speaker 3: What Sorry, because I think Bogan is still probably one

914
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,559
of the first off the bench in that scenario.

915
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Bogden for a I mean Bogden for Jane

916
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:13,079
for the last minute and a half, right, Yeah, that's

917
00:51:13,079 --> 00:51:14,159
where you steal the rest.

918
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, because there's just not another facilitator, and you do

919
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,519
need to find that out way. I mean, obviously you

920
00:51:22,559 --> 00:51:24,119
need to find ways to get everybody's some rest. But

921
00:51:24,159 --> 00:51:27,639
I think James is the one. Well you're probably worried.

922
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,039
Speaker 1: About, and Bogden can do the pick and roll. He can.

923
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh yeah, there's not another ball handler that like that,

924
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,400
Like the drop off in ball handler is uh so

925
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:37,480
it is so high.

926
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Wibby with a good point. Hoping Norm starts

927
00:51:41,679 --> 00:51:44,639
the first half hot in Game seven, that would go

928
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,360
in incredibly long. Wait, the third quarter was phenomenal tonight.

929
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:52,320
Not throwing that out the window, but I kind of

930
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,679
in the first half tonight Norm was. I mean, you

931
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,440
show fifty were scent, but he didn't hit a three.

932
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:05,559
The Clippers were incredibly cold from three to start. Norm

933
00:52:05,559 --> 00:52:07,840
getting into a grip early would be nice. I don't

934
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:11,199
know if it's completely necessary because he wasn't in one tonight,

935
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:17,199
but I would prefer to not be down to start

936
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,679
this one. Hot take.

937
00:52:21,159 --> 00:52:22,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good take.

938
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 1: The Clippers were in the first five minutes of this game,

939
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,559
a stat we talked about last live we did. The

940
00:52:28,559 --> 00:52:31,199
Clippers actually won the first five minutes of this game,

941
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,360
which is only the second time I think the series

942
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,039
that they won the first five minutes of this game.

943
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 2: And they were plus one, so.

944
00:52:39,199 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and they won. They won it to the

945
00:52:42,159 --> 00:52:46,239
nth degree. Idea eighty six, who we met when they

946
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,880
worked at Staples. I don't think they introduced themselves as

947
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:52,079
Idea eighty six. They said, the Clippers playing quick. I

948
00:52:52,079 --> 00:52:54,039
love when they don't hold the ball. So what I

949
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:57,199
liked about the Clippers playing quick, which I hope translates

950
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,519
to Game seven, was it felt like they owes the

951
00:53:00,639 --> 00:53:02,360
right times to push the pace.

952
00:53:03,079 --> 00:53:05,119
Speaker 2: It's I mean to me, it's.

953
00:53:05,039 --> 00:53:10,079
Speaker 1: Game five was frantic, Yeah, and this was focused. Yeah.

954
00:53:11,119 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 2: I feel like pushing the pace.

955
00:53:14,519 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 3: Involves like more running, which like this isn't like a

956
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:18,599
running team.

957
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 1: I think, the hell are you talking about?

958
00:53:21,519 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 3: I think maybe just bring the ball up a little

959
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,639
bit quicker and maybe just get into your first action

960
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:32,159
with let's even say what I generously sixteen seconds on the.

961
00:53:32,119 --> 00:53:36,079
Speaker 2: Shock I would love for Maybe twelve would be great.

962
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, d Flow saying, is it Denver going back

963
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,039
home tonight? Follow their asses?

964
00:53:44,159 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 2: I like that, good point. I could save money on

965
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:48,760
a hotel, maybe bunk up with some of those guys.

966
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 1: What you know what would be very funny in all

967
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,760
of this, as if Baber was like somehow just as

968
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,960
cheap as sterling, Like Baber's just paying to suppress these

969
00:53:59,000 --> 00:53:59,760
stories of him.

970
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,119
Speaker 2: Say, Yogi's brothers are out of town. I only got

971
00:54:02,119 --> 00:54:03,599
a couple extra bedrooms over there.

972
00:54:05,599 --> 00:54:07,760
Speaker 1: Uh that's a funny bit. No, we love Steve Balmer.

973
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,239
If anyone is watching, we love.

974
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:13,280
Speaker 2: Charles. Are you safe?

975
00:54:14,559 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah? Fine? Who is our who's your Player of

976
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:23,239
the game pick for game seven?

977
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 2: Oh wait, regular rules apply?

978
00:54:26,159 --> 00:54:32,280
Speaker 1: I love this bit, same play, both teams flying back

979
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:36,960
on the same plan as genuinely hilarious. Okay, we're having

980
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,440
actual questions which I would like to answer. But so

981
00:54:39,559 --> 00:54:42,440
we're gonna do Player of the Games for game seven,

982
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,639
and then we're probably gonna ramble a little bit more.

983
00:54:45,079 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 2: Are they? So is this our regular rules?

984
00:54:47,039 --> 00:54:48,639
Speaker 3: Because can I say, do I get to do a

985
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:50,320
victory lap for my Player of the game?

986
00:54:50,519 --> 00:54:53,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely? We never do because we never keep track of it. Wait.

987
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:56,039
So for the new people to the show, if you're

988
00:54:56,079 --> 00:54:59,320
new to the show, welcome. We try and keep it fun.

989
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:00,960
We try and keep a light The point of the

990
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:02,760
show is to be able to talk about the Clippers

991
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,360
when you're asked, why the hell do you root for

992
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:08,239
the Clippers. We pick a player of the game every game,

993
00:55:09,519 --> 00:55:13,719
but because we don't take the easy road, Uh, we're

994
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:17,400
not allowed to pick James harden Kawhi, Leonard of Vitzizu Bots,

995
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:22,320
or Norm Powell because obviously if one of those four plays, well,

996
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,920
things are it's too easy. Right.

997
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the restriction for some reason was lifted last

998
00:55:28,639 --> 00:55:30,360
game because it was an illumination game.

999
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think we're gonna put it back on.

1000
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 2: Restrictions back on.

1001
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: Restriction is back on because the ats are also way

1002
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,480
better when it's just when there's two people.

1003
00:55:39,599 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 2: Okay, well then I get to go first. I'm going

1004
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:42,119
Nico Vitim.

1005
00:55:42,559 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 1: I mean that makes sense. He was so good tonight.

1006
00:55:46,639 --> 00:55:49,079
Speaker 2: Man, incredible, incredible.

1007
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,119
Speaker 1: What was it? He had two assists for a corner

1008
00:55:52,159 --> 00:55:54,039
three in this game, just like the same play, like

1009
00:55:54,039 --> 00:55:56,760
twice in a row, like just like the epitome of

1010
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:57,480
a connector.

1011
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,559
Speaker 2: He had six, five and six. It's insane.

1012
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,760
Speaker 1: Oh I said this, and let me get your haggle.

1013
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:04,719
No haggle on this.

1014
00:56:06,079 --> 00:56:07,039
Speaker 2: Uh.

1015
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:11,599
Speaker 1: I want to double check it to make sure I'm factual.

1016
00:56:12,159 --> 00:56:17,639
Norm and Nico each only made two threes, but it

1017
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:25,920
felt like they made twelve. Yeah right, they were so important. Okay,

1018
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:33,280
so we got uh derder pooh saying but two. William

1019
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:35,239
Gonzales saying bogie.

1020
00:56:35,599 --> 00:56:37,559
Speaker 2: I like the bogie pick too, But Charles, did you

1021
00:56:37,559 --> 00:56:38,079
make your pick?

1022
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: I haven't yet, nor Jeremy Mormons saying Norm Palace should be.

1023
00:56:41,559 --> 00:56:43,519
Speaker 2: Up for grabs. Too easy.

1024
00:56:43,559 --> 00:56:50,280
Speaker 1: He just had a good game. We can't pick him. Ooh.

1025
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,599
I like where Logan Rap is going with this. Logan

1026
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:57,159
Rap drilled down his player to watch is their player

1027
00:56:57,159 --> 00:56:59,960
to watch? Is Nico Batoum's legs. I like that love.

1028
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:05,840
I hope you're doing well. By the way, Okay, we're

1029
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:07,639
gonna talk about the bogie and rest stuff in a second.

1030
00:57:07,639 --> 00:57:11,159
I guess I have to make my pick. I'm going

1031
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:15,719
Dereck Jones. He's gonna have like fifteen minutes, and I

1032
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,519
hope that he can provide a couple of deflections. Make

1033
00:57:18,559 --> 00:57:22,840
a couple of smart cuts and hit one three. I

1034
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,639
know he went to for six tonight, but I don't

1035
00:57:24,639 --> 00:57:27,519
think he'll get that many attempts. So if he hits

1036
00:57:27,559 --> 00:57:29,079
one three, I think it will be important.

1037
00:57:29,639 --> 00:57:31,239
Speaker 2: I'd like to see him give out like a.

1038
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: Great fit. Lance says, can we pick Ress? Absolutely?

1039
00:57:38,039 --> 00:57:39,559
Speaker 2: You can absolutely pick Ress?

1040
00:57:41,039 --> 00:57:47,119
Speaker 1: Okay. So the Bogie Westbrook thing is interesting. They they

1041
00:57:47,159 --> 00:57:52,519
are developing a rivalry in this series which I would

1042
00:57:52,599 --> 00:57:56,280
say has seemingly all the tension and weird stuff and

1043
00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:00,440
the skurfluffles have really only benefited the Nuggets.

1044
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:05,519
Speaker 3: Yes, which has kind of been the history of sort

1045
00:58:05,559 --> 00:58:07,719
of the Clippers playoff kerfuffles.

1046
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: Yes, and then, but there wasn't There was no bullshit

1047
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,639
weird chaos tonight, you know what I mean. There wasn't

1048
00:58:15,639 --> 00:58:20,079
any extracurriculars. There wasn't any jawing or anything like that.

1049
00:58:20,159 --> 00:58:26,000
It was nice to see. Can we talk about peacout

1050
00:58:26,039 --> 00:58:28,360
game lest so? Can we talk about hedging off the screen?

1051
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:30,360
I've had a couple of drinks. I don't know if

1052
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,840
I can fully give justice to hedging off the.

1053
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:39,039
Speaker 2: Screen right now? As he takes another what.

1054
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 1: Do you want me to do? Yeah? Okay, so there,

1055
00:58:45,199 --> 00:58:49,239
here's another thing I hope for Game seven. Before tonight's game,

1056
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:53,440
Tylu talked about how the game where Jamal Burrays scored

1057
00:58:53,559 --> 00:58:56,400
forty plus, we let him kind of walk into those

1058
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,159
easy buckets in the first quarter, and they let him

1059
00:58:59,199 --> 00:59:02,159
do that again in tonight. For the most part, Jamal

1060
00:59:02,239 --> 00:59:06,039
Murray crushed it in the first quarter. For this game, Yeah,

1061
00:59:06,079 --> 00:59:12,599
they gotta limit him to start the game because he

1062
00:59:12,639 --> 00:59:15,639
is incredibly comfortable mid range. Thank you peacok gang, first

1063
00:59:15,679 --> 00:59:20,159
time we've seen you on the stream. Appreciate this. But

1064
00:59:20,239 --> 00:59:23,280
we gotta make life a little more difficult for Jamal

1065
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,199
Murray in the first quarter. And I think Nico does

1066
00:59:26,239 --> 00:59:26,639
that right.

1067
00:59:28,719 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely definitely makes every.

1068
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 1: Great word six. What are you drinking a whiskey soda?

1069
00:59:38,039 --> 00:59:43,760
What'd you say? Brian saying? Are we taking a couple

1070
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:45,639
more than we're gonna head out? Brian saying it was

1071
00:59:45,679 --> 00:59:48,199
frustrating that Tyler did not put Zumbats in earlier when

1072
00:59:48,199 --> 00:59:50,920
the Nuggets went a little run. Other than that great game,

1073
00:59:51,239 --> 00:59:53,679
Yeah he had. He should have made that switch a

1074
00:59:53,719 --> 00:59:57,159
little earlier. That was tense.

1075
01:00:02,119 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I I get it, I get it. Go back

1076
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,880
to Zoo. I just understand wanting to test sort.

1077
01:00:12,679 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 2: Of like what you could do with the small ball

1078
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:15,199
then as.

1079
01:00:15,079 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: Well, trying to see how it works a little bit,

1080
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,000
get a little more of it, because that was the

1081
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:19,639
first time, right that that whole that line up had

1082
01:00:19,639 --> 01:00:20,280
ever been together.

1083
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again you don't want to like over it,

1084
01:00:23,639 --> 01:00:25,559
you don't want to overadjust.

1085
01:00:26,199 --> 01:00:28,679
Speaker 1: Which you would say he was guilty of last I

1086
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,199
like that. That's a good point actually to kind of

1087
01:00:32,199 --> 01:00:33,920
what you were saying at the last game. How he

1088
01:00:34,039 --> 01:00:39,000
over adjustment for last game. This game, it was just

1089
01:00:39,079 --> 01:00:41,360
little wrinkles I hate you know what I mean, like

1090
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,960
not to set, Like the adjustment wasn't everybody play faster?

1091
01:00:45,199 --> 01:00:47,920
The adjustment was managing guys. But it's like that kind

1092
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:49,199
of thing and it was great.

1093
01:00:49,719 --> 01:00:55,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, don't need to like reinvent the wheel. Yeah.

1094
01:00:55,599 --> 01:00:57,960
De flu is talking about like the doubles on Jokich.

1095
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 3: I think like just being able to keep deep Zoo

1096
01:01:00,559 --> 01:01:02,559
on him more was was way more effective.

1097
01:01:03,159 --> 01:01:10,079
Speaker 1: So it was great on him. Like, yeah, I I'm

1098
01:01:10,159 --> 01:01:13,119
feeling And the word confident is that the word you

1099
01:01:13,239 --> 01:01:17,239
use going into a game seven, because it's a way

1100
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,480
that Arena is gonna be crazy. I think there's gonna

1101
01:01:21,519 --> 01:01:24,239
be a lot of guys on the Nuggets who are

1102
01:01:24,239 --> 01:01:28,639
gonna want to make up for how they played. And

1103
01:01:28,679 --> 01:01:33,440
I also like the nut Both teams are kind of

1104
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:38,199
playing with house money, right, Like maybe the Clippers a

1105
01:01:38,239 --> 01:01:43,039
little bit more because they're not at home. Yeah's you know,

1106
01:01:43,519 --> 01:01:45,800
like the Clippers have a little bit more house money maybe,

1107
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:51,559
But like Michael Porter Junior, I think looked more actually

1108
01:01:51,599 --> 01:01:56,159
affected by his injuries tonight than the last game.

1109
01:01:56,599 --> 01:01:59,239
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I mean the like, you know, the inflammation

1110
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,760
and stuff I would think is ongoing.

1111
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 3: Flix has a great question biggest thing that would make

1112
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:06,239
us lose in Game seven into meets turnovers.

1113
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,679
Speaker 2: We had seven turnovers tonight, which.

1114
01:02:08,639 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 3: Like that was the difference in the possession battle with

1115
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,199
these two teams being sort of as evenly matched as

1116
01:02:13,239 --> 01:02:14,719
they have been throughout this series.

1117
01:02:17,039 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, turn like it's gonna be turnovers.

1118
01:02:19,719 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 1: I think turnover turnovers one hundred percent. And it's a

1119
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:29,360
forty eight minute game, obviously, but putting yourself in a

1120
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,119
position with the first five minutes to not have to

1121
01:02:32,159 --> 01:02:38,119
be second guessing your game plan is yeah, so that

1122
01:02:39,199 --> 01:02:43,599
we can lose the first five minutes, but not by

1123
01:02:43,719 --> 01:02:45,559
what they have been losing them before this game, you

1124
01:02:45,559 --> 01:02:52,159
know what I mean? Like, yeah, all right, I day six,

1125
01:02:52,199 --> 01:02:53,239
who has more pressure?

1126
01:02:54,119 --> 01:02:55,719
Speaker 2: Well, using you think the Nuggets.

1127
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,559
Speaker 1: I think it might be the Nuggets. They're at home.

1128
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,719
And I also love, just as a weird aside, I

1129
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:11,199
love that we have a historically very loud home advantage

1130
01:03:11,239 --> 01:03:15,920
in the Nuggets against a very new home advantage and

1131
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,280
into it though. Yeah, I think both environments have done

1132
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:22,199
a great job at representing what NBA fandom can be

1133
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:24,639
from home fans, and I just really appreciate that.

1134
01:03:25,159 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1135
01:03:25,599 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 3: Well, and you know, you know, and both teams have

1136
01:03:29,119 --> 01:03:32,199
snagged one win on the road, and like, really, whoever

1137
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,519
gets two out of the series is is moving on?

1138
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, the crowds have been great, the crow, the crowd,

1139
01:03:38,159 --> 01:03:41,599
just both sides of the crowds have been phenomenal. I think

1140
01:03:41,599 --> 01:03:44,519
it might be the Nuggets. They're the higher seed, they're

1141
01:03:44,559 --> 01:03:50,199
at home. Yeah, great point by Joshua Mann. Michael Porter

1142
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:52,519
was minus twenty four tonight. He played a bunch of

1143
01:03:52,519 --> 01:03:56,159
his minutes with the bench. Matt Moore was pointing this

1144
01:03:56,199 --> 01:03:58,239
out on Twitter. Yeah, but he played a bunch of

1145
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:02,320
his of the bench which really squandered. So here we go.

1146
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:05,519
La Murray and the twenty three minutes that Michael Porter

1147
01:04:05,559 --> 01:04:09,679
Jouni was off the floor in Game six, Nuggets outscored

1148
01:04:09,719 --> 01:04:13,199
the Clippers by eighteen points, and the twenty four minutes

1149
01:04:13,199 --> 01:04:16,719
that Porter Junior was on the floor, La outscored the

1150
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:20,599
Nuggets by twenty four points. Wow, he's the only Nuggets

1151
01:04:20,599 --> 01:04:26,239
starter with a negative plus minus. Do they make a change? Like,

1152
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,679
what what is their change? I guess do they have

1153
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:33,800
a counter? Russ played thirty four minutes, Peyton Watson played ten,

1154
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:42,440
DeAndre played three. They're out of counters and I don't

1155
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,199
mean that, like, but that's a where do they go?

1156
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,800
You know what I'm saying, Mines, I would love more

1157
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:53,880
DJ minutes, but like they don't really have any other counters,

1158
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:58,199
whereas the Clippers have things. Tonight, I think they showed

1159
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:00,679
we just have a couple of things we can shuffle,

1160
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:01,599
you know what I.

1161
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:07,719
Speaker 2: Mean, Yeah, when things are working, because that I mean, well.

1162
01:05:07,599 --> 01:05:09,679
Speaker 3: That's been the difficulty of this series two is like

1163
01:05:09,719 --> 01:05:11,800
there has been a lot of self inflicted stuff and

1164
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:17,760
then just floor level performances not being what we've been

1165
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:22,920
used to from this team. Because yeah, coming into this,

1166
01:05:23,199 --> 01:05:24,800
you know, I was pretty confident Clips would be able

1167
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:25,760
to close this out in six.

1168
01:05:27,559 --> 01:05:30,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, the clip. I'm I just again the clips in

1169
01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:36,920
five people lost their minds. But different different topic, different day.

1170
01:05:37,199 --> 01:05:38,639
Speaker 2: Are you speaking on certified ball?

1171
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:44,480
Speaker 1: No where, Josephine saying I think the game comes down

1172
01:05:44,519 --> 01:05:47,599
to thousand free throws. Thousand is something that I wanted

1173
01:05:47,639 --> 01:05:49,920
to talk about because we haven't talked about the whistle

1174
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:54,360
of this game, which is good because it's been junkie

1175
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,719
the last couple of games. Oh yeah. Not blaming the

1176
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,480
losses obviously, but this is a good thing to bring

1177
01:05:59,599 --> 01:06:04,239
up because again, the Nuggets only took nine free throws

1178
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:07,639
this game, which is I bet, just call me crazy.

1179
01:06:07,639 --> 01:06:09,960
I bet they get more than nine in game seven. Yeah,

1180
01:06:10,079 --> 01:06:15,280
at home, at home. So I'm hoping that that also

1181
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:22,079
that dictates down in batombs minutes. Is the whistle too.

1182
01:06:22,239 --> 01:06:26,639
I think because of the whistle, there's no question that

1183
01:06:26,719 --> 01:06:28,559
done still gets time. I think we're still at a

1184
01:06:28,559 --> 01:06:32,079
seven guy rotation, excuse me, at an eight guy rotation.

1185
01:06:35,199 --> 01:06:41,559
But like with the whistle, dictating in a bit all right,

1186
01:06:41,599 --> 01:06:43,800
Liso saying hard did not look lost on defense. No,

1187
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:47,840
Harden was locked in, James Harden was great, all right,

1188
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:49,519
we got anything else you want to say about this

1189
01:06:49,599 --> 01:06:54,000
before we head into an incredibly nervous Friday workday for

1190
01:06:54,039 --> 01:06:58,280
all of us, and then incredibly nervous pre four thirty

1191
01:06:58,559 --> 01:07:00,119
Game seven.

1192
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,679
Speaker 3: I mean, the rest of the series doesn't matter. We

1193
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:09,079
lost a couple that we should have won. It's tough,

1194
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,880
but we have I think Tye at this point it

1195
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,960
has enough data after six games under his belt to

1196
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:17,880
know how to push the right buttons and it's just

1197
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:22,159
gonna be about execution and just avoiding self inflicted sort.

1198
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 2: Of you know, stupid errors.

1199
01:07:25,679 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think that, Like I do think that

1200
01:07:28,039 --> 01:07:29,639
we're the better team, and I think that we have

1201
01:07:29,719 --> 01:07:35,320
been the better team overall, just in moments, you know,

1202
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:37,360
like in big moments and moments where it matters. We've

1203
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:41,280
kind of dropped the ball at times. So if that happens,

1204
01:07:41,599 --> 01:07:43,840
we're gonna lose this game. If we can keep it

1205
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:46,599
as tight obviously as we did tonight, then I like

1206
01:07:46,639 --> 01:07:48,599
our shot, even even on the road.

1207
01:07:49,599 --> 01:07:52,400
Speaker 1: There we go hardening kawh. I gotta show up Nick

1208
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:57,199
Batwo in the starting lineup. It's a game seven, Game seven.

1209
01:07:57,239 --> 01:07:59,320
Shit happens, is the best way I can say it.

1210
01:08:00,239 --> 01:08:02,800
But we not sure. If we're gonna have a pregame

1211
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:07,440

1212

1227
01:08:47,039 --> 01:08:49,479
the one positive thing, So I guess I have to

1228
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:53,399
do it. What's that third quarter from Norm? And tell

1229
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:58,680
me that you are not confident that he will play

1230
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:02,399
great with Nick? But two in the starting lineup right

1231
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:06,119
next to him. Come on now, it's gonna be a

1232
01:09:06,159 --> 01:09:08,600
good time. Adam apparently signed off, but it's gonna be
