1
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans, Welcome to the Game

2
00:00:15,679 --> 00:00:20,399
two postgame live. Hang. I am Chuck Wlckler. Adam osen

3
00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:23,160
is doing his thing over at Clippers Talk and for

4
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:26,280
the radio AM five seventy. Will Updike might pop in.

5
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:31,600
I don't know. I am basking and unclenching from that

6
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:37,479
incredibly stressful game to win in Denver. The Clippers pull

7
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,240
it out. It was a back and forth game the

8
00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:43,719
entire time. Kawhi Leonard absolutely dragged the Clippers to this one.

9
00:00:43,759 --> 00:00:46,600
He had thirty nine points at one point he was

10
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,799
the only Clipper who was able to score. Just an

11
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,640
unbelievable performance from Kawhi Leonard. James Harden turned it on late.

12
00:00:55,719 --> 00:00:59,079
But game one, they talked about needing, you know, Kawhi

13
00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:01,840
to be an attack That's what Tyler said after this game.

14
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:04,480
Kawhi was in attack mode for this one. I think

15
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,719
he put up thirty nine points, he only missed four shots,

16
00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:11,000
he hit all of his free throws, and he played

17
00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:17,799
good defense. Absolutely incredible win. To say that the Clippers

18
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:23,000
needed that is an incredible understatement. Yeah, if you're listening

19
00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:25,359
to this later after we do the live, you can

20
00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:29,920
find us at YouTube dot accomplished at Clippers podcasts. I

21
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,519
am incredibly excited. There's a lot of there are things

22
00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:35,760
to worry about from this game. We hope to see

23
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,359
more good things happen with Norm Powell, who got it

24
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,400
going late. Norm hit an incredibly clutch shot with a

25
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:48,879
minute thirty left in this one. Norm was bad for

26
00:01:48,959 --> 00:01:50,920
most of this game, but he hit a three with

27
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,040
a minute thirty left to put the clips up. It

28
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,519
was incredibly clutch from Norm, which is something we know

29
00:01:55,599 --> 00:02:01,760
we can rely on. We know we can rely on that. Happy,

30
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,640
incredibly happy for David Booker. David Booker wife hates him

31
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:09,120
right now for watching the game which you wanted to

32
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,919
watch a movie. Yes, thank god the Clippers delivered. Kawhi

33
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,879
Leonard got the assist for you on that one on

34
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,479
a night when he was doing most of the scoring.

35
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,439
It is you want to get the split. The Clippers

36
00:02:20,439 --> 00:02:25,199
should have won game one. Probably not that they shouldn't

37
00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:27,080
have won this game, but game one. They threw this

38
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,520
one away. This one they corrected their mistakes, which I liked.

39
00:02:32,199 --> 00:02:36,240
In the first quarter in this game, the Clippers had

40
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,919
five turnovers and the second they had two. So the

41
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,599
Clippers cleaned up the turnovers after the first quarter, except

42
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,879
for a really egregious one Harden had late that was

43
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,599
almost That would have been maybe more of the subject

44
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,240
of this postgame live if that had happened. And then

45
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,800
they limited the second the fast break points for the Nuggets.

46
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,280
The Nuggets had zero fast breakpoints in the second quarter

47
00:02:59,319 --> 00:03:01,479
and the third court, which is fantastic. I think they

48
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,360
had ten or something like that in the first quarter.

49
00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:08,439
So they they shored up some things, which was good

50
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:12,240
to see. The rotation did not change, we did. I

51
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,080
wrote down some questions for this game, which was how

52
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,159
did the Clippers take care of the ball? Was Kawhi

53
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,199
in attack boat? The answer to that second question is

54
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,000
absolutely yes. He had thirty nine points. He looked unstoppable.

55
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,400
Norm did not look good. We need to keep his offense.

56
00:03:26,479 --> 00:03:32,919
Simple logan reps saying Aaron, Well, I am unwill too.

57
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,159
That was an incredible game, But there were some bad things.

58
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:42,439
I do want to give The refs were crazy in

59
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:44,599
this one. Jamal Murray should have got a tech for

60
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,879
picking up Norm, which was comical. We should have got

61
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:50,960
a tech for that. I didn't like that. Jamal Murray

62
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,319
has played good defense other than the stuff that he

63
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,960
was doing. The Clippers survive Jokic having a twenty six

64
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:02,199
point triple dom. Jokic had eight points in the first

65
00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:04,759
half of this one. The Clippers did a good job

66
00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:07,879
of making his life difficult. Other guys were hitting shots,

67
00:04:07,919 --> 00:04:10,919
but it was inevitable he was going to pop out

68
00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:13,039
at some point, so limiting that first half to eight

69
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:18,720
is great. Yeah, we do have to talk about there

70
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:24,079
were two incredibly disrespectful flops by Nikola Jokic in this game.

71
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,519
Only one of them resulted in a foul call. But

72
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,399
he flopped on Norm. Norm touched him and he flopped over,

73
00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:34,120
and then he flopped on a James Harden. He tried

74
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,480
to sell the James Harden elbow to his chest. It

75
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:43,480
was egregious. The flops were insane. Yes, Ben Simmons actually scored.

76
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,959
He made a layup, which was good. Ben Simmons made

77
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,839
a layup and hit Chris Down with an incredible outlet pass.

78
00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:55,480
In this game, I thought offensively, Ben Simmons was good.

79
00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:57,800
He was only out there for seven minutes. I don't

80
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,600
want what more we want other than he out of board.

81
00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:07,360
He had an assist. It wasn't bad. Yeah, A lot

82
00:05:07,399 --> 00:05:11,519
of people, uh, Kylie Sparks. Kylie, hope you're doing well.

83
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,319
Lesson learned. I need to rage quite at the two

84
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,639
minute mark and put my homework watching on if we

85
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,839
want to win. Okay, I think that's right, Kylie. We're

86
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:24,560
looking to you for game three. But yeah, a lot

87
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:33,360
of people are gonna ask why Nick Tune didn't close

88
00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:35,079
in this one. Nick, but Tumbe was was good in

89
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,920
this one, two A five from three. The rotations late

90
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:59,879
we're interesting in this one as my computer fucking up game. Mhmm,

91
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,199
we're back. All right, we're back. Thanks reestream for figuring

92
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:28,040
that shit out. But Tune was great. But tum raised

93
00:06:28,079 --> 00:06:30,560
the floor. He was hitting shots when the Clippers needed

94
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,920
someone to hit shots, but he uh isn't in the

95
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,680
late game rotation, which I don't know how I feel about.

96
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,000
They got the win, which is good. But to the

97
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,519
people who want Norm Powell out of the main rotation,

98
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,199
which I'm sure we're going to hear about in the

99
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:50,480
next couple of days. The clippers next game is on Thursday.

100
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:54,040
Into it Don was going to be rocking, which is fantastic.

101
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,160
Norm hit a shot with a minute thirty left that

102
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:04,360
put the Clippers up which was incredibly clutch, right, and

103
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,120
so it was a bad norm game. He started really bad.

104
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:11,639
Him and Bogey were really bad. Bogie we're gonna talk

105
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,480
about too, because Bogie cannot be missing shots. That is

106
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:27,879
not ideal. We don't need that. Yeah, the unplayable thing

107
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,560
is tough. If Bogie's not hitting shots, obviously the floor

108
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:37,279
is way lower for the team in general. So the

109
00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:40,360
Bogie thing is an issue. He's got to figure that

110
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,759
shit out. He had fifteen minutes tonight. He went oh five.

111
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:51,439
He obviously gets he's a priority for them on defense

112
00:07:51,560 --> 00:08:00,319
then being the other team. But I don't know, I

113
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,319
don't know. Yeah, this is a great point by a chief.

114
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,920
But for all the offense, Claude de Liliberty sealed the

115
00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:10,399
game with that steel virtuos performance. He was fantastic. He

116
00:08:10,519 --> 00:08:12,480
was so good. I also want to give a shout out.

117
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,720
We haven't talked about this guy yet. The Clippers went

118
00:08:14,759 --> 00:08:18,959
on a run late in the second mostly because the

119
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:21,600
defense stepped up, but Chris Dunn was a huge part

120
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,279
of that. Chris Dunn played phenomenal team defense today. Did

121
00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:29,240
not shoot the ball well. Again, you look at game

122
00:08:29,279 --> 00:08:31,279
one as a game the Clippers should have won and didn't.

123
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,960
You look at this game and you say, okay, Kawhi

124
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:39,000
was otherworldly. That's fantastic. Maybe they didn't deserve or it

125
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,519
didn't shake out as you'd think the Clippers would win

126
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:46,080
this game, but they did. A lot of wacky stuff

127
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,159
happened in this game. Aaron Gordon missed a dunk late,

128
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:50,840
but no anyway, hats off to Chris Done. He was

129
00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:53,480
huge defensively in the second when the Clippers needed a boost.

130
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,919
That was really good. This one was odd, like Zuba

131
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,480
came out earlier than he usually does. Zu Bots looks

132
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,159
a little tired. That is something to look to look

133
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,120
at as we move forward. It's nice to have these

134
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,799
days off, but Zoo does look a little tired. I

135
00:09:12,799 --> 00:09:14,559
thank god he hit most of his freet throws today.

136
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,440
That was very much needed. Keep an eye on Zoo's

137
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,120
fatigue going forward. And the shot profile for Jokic was

138
00:09:22,159 --> 00:09:24,559
really interesting in this one. Interesting in the fact that

139
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,759
it helped the Clippers. He basically only took threes in

140
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,480
the first half. Let me see if the shot chart

141
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,279
is updated yet. It hasn't, but he basically only took

142
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,039
threes in the first half, which is a win for

143
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:45,919
the Clippers, I have to assume, but yeah, I don't know.

144
00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:52,080
This is so in the fourth quarter, Norm Powell was

145
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,720
three or four with seven points with an assist. Two

146
00:09:55,759 --> 00:09:57,399
of the shots he made in the fourth gave the

147
00:09:57,399 --> 00:10:01,679
Clippers the lead. I don't know if tylu is going

148
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:08,559
to take Norm Powell out because of basically because of

149
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,720
what I just said. I'm not sure one hundred percent

150
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,639
agree with it, but you cannot deny that Norm was

151
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,480
incredibly clutch, and that is kind of why he's in there,

152
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,320
because you have nights like this where Kawhi gets nineteen

153
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,960
field goal attempts and Harden gets seventeen because you need

154
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:29,720
him to kind of be the third. I mean, he

155
00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:33,279
did have the third most field goal attempts on the team.

156
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,679
But I don't think he's he's he's leaving that rotation

157
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:43,240
anytime soon. I don't think that's gonna happen. So the rebounding, Yeah,

158
00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:47,240
the rebounding down the stretch has been a little rough

159
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:53,720
to watch for the Clippers. It was not we just

160
00:10:53,759 --> 00:10:57,480
see kind of the same the long offensive rebounds things

161
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:04,759
like that from the Nuggets, which is incredibly frustrating. But yeah,

162
00:11:04,879 --> 00:11:08,600
I agree with what people are saying, Renzo the old head.

163
00:11:10,799 --> 00:11:15,799
I agree. The rebounding is something to keep an eye on.

164
00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:19,799
Did they win. They got smoked in rebounds today by

165
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:25,679
like a lot, by like twenty. The Nuggets had thirty

166
00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:30,039
five defensive rebounds. Nuggets had thirty five defensive rebounds. The

167
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:38,480
Clippers had thirty seven total rebounds. Yeah. I was stressed

168
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,720
out about this too. Russ had a really good fourth

169
00:11:40,799 --> 00:11:44,360
quartery at two threes and got the whistle. I was

170
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,720
worried about Russ for sure taking over in this one.

171
00:11:49,759 --> 00:11:51,399
You look at the other side, you look at the Nuggets.

172
00:11:51,399 --> 00:11:53,759
They got a lot more from Michael Porter Junior offensively,

173
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,440
but they got a lot less from Aaron Gordon. He

174
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:05,240
finished with fourteen points. That yeah, the Norm thing. Sorry

175
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:11,080
not to keep going back to the Norm thing. Yeah,

176
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,480
the boards. MPJ really made his presence felt on the

177
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,559
on the offensive glass for them. Six is crazy. The

178
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:20,799
Norm thing is, you just got to keep his offense simple.

179
00:12:22,519 --> 00:12:25,039
Norm's offense is a simple game. You get the ball,

180
00:12:25,519 --> 00:12:28,360
you catch the ball and shoot it, or you catch

181
00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:31,639
the ball and you run forward. That is why, that

182
00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:34,639
is what he needs to do. And again he was

183
00:12:34,799 --> 00:12:39,080
incredibly clutching this game. I don't know. I think people

184
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,039
wanting a lineup change are not going to get one

185
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,039
ahead of game four or game three. Excuse me, I

186
00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:49,759
don't think that's gonna happen. One thing to Monor is

187
00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:52,919
gonna be Michael Porter Junior's shoulder dune fell on him

188
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,120
in a weird way and then he had to come

189
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,080
out of the game. So just something to keep an

190
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,200
eye on to think about for as this goes on.

191
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,679
I don't think he's gonna miss time, but it's I

192
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,159
think it's going to affect him in some way. The

193
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,000
headline of this game, if you're just joining us, Kawhi

194
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,360
Leonard with thirty nine points, he goes fifteen for nineteen.

195
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,000
Incredible performance from the claw on both ends again and

196
00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:15,519
in a game where to start this game, Kawhi was

197
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,480
the only person for the Clippers making shots. It cannot

198
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,360
be overstated how badly the Clippers needed Leonard to make

199
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,399
every single shot. I think he missed it made as

200
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:31,320
what first seven or eight, So yeah, with just an

201
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:37,440
incredible performance all the way around. Before this series, I

202
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,840
said that how far was the gap between Jokic and

203
00:13:41,919 --> 00:13:45,600
Kawhi in terms of the best player on the floor.

204
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:47,840
I was a homer and obviously said I didn't think

205
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,000
the gap was that far. Thank you Kawhi for making

206
00:13:50,039 --> 00:13:58,000
me seem a little bit not insane for saying that. Yes,

207
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:07,120
Kawhi was absolutely our life support, aunt's addict. He was tough.

208
00:14:07,159 --> 00:14:10,759
There was also, this was not the best James Harden game.

209
00:14:11,919 --> 00:14:14,159
He did not shoot well from three, He only had

210
00:14:14,159 --> 00:14:16,159
four turnovers. He cleaned it up after the first quarter.

211
00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:18,600
The turnovers were brutal in the first, but then Harden

212
00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:22,159
cleaned it up late. But they still won. Again. Should

213
00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:27,120
have won Game one, didn't Maybe shouldn't have had a

214
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,720
good of a chances they didn't win this game, and

215
00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:31,720
they did. That's playoff basketball. That's what happens when Kawhi

216
00:14:31,799 --> 00:14:34,399
is thirty nine. He keeps you in any game. And

217
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,320
that's what happens when Norm has clutch shooting in the fourth.

218
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,200
The rebounding is an issue. I'm not gonna sit here

219
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,759
and pretend like the rebounding is not an issue. I

220
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:47,399
don't know if starting Nick Batoum fixes that issue for

221
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,679
the Clippers. I don't think it does. It was a

222
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,000
huge three minute and thirty left. Norm takes the three

223
00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:59,639
of the Clippers take the lead. It was gigantic. Yeah, this

224
00:14:59,679 --> 00:15:03,679
is a good point playoff. Murray is genuinely scary. He's

225
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,000
answered the bell defensively, which hats off to him. He

226
00:15:06,039 --> 00:15:08,480
played really good defense aside from picking up norm where

227
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,200
he should have got a tech. Murray's played played good

228
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,720
defense in this game. Specifically, for the most part, the

229
00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:20,039
physicality was there. Yeah, I don't know, so the things

230
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,200
I guess could kind of transition this a little bit

231
00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:26,840
into what to watch out for in Game three, which

232
00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:30,039
is going to be an into it cannot wait to

233
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,399
be there, into it is going to be insane. If

234
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,279
you can get a ticket, go So this is a

235
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,559
nice segue from Ben Brow thank you asking are we

236
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,960
in bench bogie territory? I don't think they're in bench

237
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,639
bogey territory. I don't know who's getting his other fifteen minutes.

238
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:55,440
Just realistically, what up JC? The bench rotation is something

239
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,000
we just have to kind of ride it out. I

240
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:03,279
know that sounds terrifying right now, but I don't think

241
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:08,759
we're cutting down to effectively an eight guy rotation because

242
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:10,799
I think that asks too much for Nico. Nico's already

243
00:16:10,799 --> 00:16:13,360
not playing that much. People want Nico to play more.

244
00:16:14,159 --> 00:16:17,320
But I don't know why they're not doing that. There

245
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,399
has to be some kind of worry or something, you

246
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:26,759
know what I mean. Coffee Kelly Johnson was singing a

247
00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:31,559
mere coffee's praises. We'll see about that. Defensively, yeah, it's good,

248
00:16:31,559 --> 00:16:34,120
but right now the Clippers offense has been the issue.

249
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,960
Right like for worry about offense, I don't know. I

250
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,480
don't know. I don't think. I don't think that a

251
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,639
mere Coffee will be having any imminent injection into the

252
00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:50,600
Clippers rotation. I'll me crazy. I just don't think that's

253
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,559
gonna happen. They just split in Denver with the usual rotations.

254
00:16:55,080 --> 00:17:00,919
So I don't know. Let's what The rebounds have to

255
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,799
get better. I can't believe that they lost rebounds by

256
00:17:03,799 --> 00:17:07,279
twenty two tonight and still get the win. But that's

257
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:09,160
what happens when you don't turn the ball over twenty times.

258
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,599
So the Clippers. The Clippers did, for the most part,

259
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,359
everything that they said they needed to fix after Game one, right,

260
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,079
it was self inflicted. Was with the turnovers. They limited those.

261
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:24,200
They had eleven turnovers, which is great, and Kawhi was

262
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,759
in attack mode. Tily mentioned that after Game one, I

263
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:29,160
think it was very evident that Kaui was an attack mode. Again.

264
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,359
They still got killed on the boards, which is not ideal,

265
00:17:34,039 --> 00:17:36,839
but they did do a good job of limiting fast

266
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,079
break points after the first quarter. Again, the Nuggets had

267
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,319
zero fast break points in the second and third quarters.

268
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:49,079
It was fantastic. A lot of good stuff in that game,

269
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,880
and a lot of stuff to still be stressed about

270
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:59,000
this series. I picked this series to go six and

271
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,480
it feels like it's going that way. Just an incredible game.

272
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:11,720
Ummm pardoned ant even attempt to free throw this game

273
00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:13,680
and the Clippers won. There's a lot of goofy shit

274
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:16,119
in this game. James Harden did not have a free throw.

275
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:21,960
He played thirty nine minutes. There's goofy stuff. Yeah, I

276
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,440
think the Amir Coffee love I don't. I don't know

277
00:18:25,519 --> 00:18:28,359
what's going on with that, but I don't mean that disrespectfully.

278
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,039
But I think there's bigger things to worry about. The

279
00:18:30,079 --> 00:18:37,240
demere Coffee getting minutes because again Norm was clutch in

280
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,680
the end of this game. That's not He's not going

281
00:18:40,759 --> 00:18:46,200
to forget that. I don't know. I'm feeling great that

282
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,279
the Clippers got the split great that Cohi got back

283
00:18:50,319 --> 00:18:53,799
into a tack mode. I am worried about the glass.

284
00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:59,559
I am worried about the fast breakpoints because I don't

285
00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:04,000
know if they'll go that cold again for basically an

286
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:09,519
entire half of basketball. Ben Brow asking, do we think

287
00:19:09,559 --> 00:19:11,359
that games three and four are going to be as

288
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,720
close as one and two? Absolute freaking lutely, Ben, I

289
00:19:15,839 --> 00:19:20,480
have no doubt in my mind that the games three

290
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,000
and four are going to be as close as one

291
00:19:22,079 --> 00:19:26,480
is two. It's gonna be insane and into it is

292
00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:31,519
going to be so goddamn loud. Be ready for how

293
00:19:31,599 --> 00:19:33,920
loud and insane into it's gonna be. I don't think

294
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,799
we can be, but just try and be ready for

295
00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:42,799
how loud it's going to be. They flubbix Jokich tonight,

296
00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:45,599
which I liked. Jokich had seven turnovers, which you don't

297
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:53,519
often see, so I appreciate that. Yeah, not surprised I

298
00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:56,680
didn't get as much from Gordon offensively. That'll be interesting

299
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,920
to see. Zoo's fatigue is something I want. I'm gonna

300
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,559
be looking out for it too, because you came out

301
00:20:02,599 --> 00:20:05,160
earlier than usual in this game to start, and Ben

302
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,240
Simmons came in for him, and he looked a little

303
00:20:08,279 --> 00:20:12,839
tired because he has tried to guard Jokic well. He's

304
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,519
playing very well against him effort wise, he's making life

305
00:20:16,559 --> 00:20:19,079
difficult for Yoki. Joki is still Jokic, I want to

306
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,240
make that clear, but he's also having to do a

307
00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:24,960
lot offensive, so he's looking tired. I'm curious to see

308
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,880
how that looks. We're gonna have a full Oh, this

309
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,079
is a great call. Thank you for bringing this up, Anthony.

310
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,640
So sorry this is so late. The double team timing

311
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,559
was a lot better today. It was really good to

312
00:20:37,599 --> 00:20:39,440
see that they were waiting for Yokic to turn his

313
00:20:39,519 --> 00:20:44,279
back a little bit. Yes, thank you for bringing that up.

314
00:20:44,319 --> 00:20:46,279
This happened in the seven zero round of the second

315
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,480
with Chris Dunn out there, so it's gonna be interesting.

316
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,839
I like that point. Thank you for bringing that up, Anthony.

317
00:20:54,599 --> 00:20:56,559
All right, I'm gonna head out. We're gonna have a

318
00:20:56,559 --> 00:21:01,039
full crew pod for y'all on Wednesday night. Adam will myself,

319
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,839
thank you for hanging out the Clipper's split in Denver.

320
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,920
There's still things to worry about, but Kawhi as an

321
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,240
attack mode nor maybe he's getting some momentum after being

322
00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:13,799
incredibly clutched on this game. Look at the fourth quarter stats.

323
00:21:14,559 --> 00:21:16,920
Let's hope the boards are better, Let's hope the turnovers

324
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,480
are staying in check, and let's hope they've figured out

325
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,480
a way to prevent as many fast break points from

326
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,279
the Nuggets. Hell of a game as these all are

327
00:21:24,319 --> 00:21:28,599
going to be. Here's to an incredibly loud night at

328
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,400
into It Dome this Thursday. As always, let's go clips.

329
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:32,720
Why not
