00:00
Let's listen to the beard now.
00:02
I thought he was impressive as well.
00:04
I just think he's so in charge of games.
00:09
Like the tempo, I think their possessions are all dictated by what he does.
00:15
And I think he just does everything spectacularly.
00:18
I really do.
00:19
It is beyond reproach that this guy is still doing this at the same level.
00:24
Like he looks as good as he did in Houston.
00:27
He does.
00:28
He has been outstanding, the beard, through the first couple of games.
00:31
Like I said, only had 18 points last night.
00:33
But he had such a huge impact on the game that it really went beyond just having 18.
00:39
Kawhi was doing most of the work scoring.
00:41
You were talking about the new Shangri-La.
00:43
Of course, the Intuit Dome will have their first playoff game there coming up in game number three.
00:50
Harden is very excited.
00:51
He's always looking fresh.
00:52
Look at your man.
00:53
I expected to be rocking in here.
00:56
You know what I mean?
00:57
I expected to be, you know, very, very loud.
00:59
And like it's always been all year.
01:01
And, you know, us have gone out there and, you know, put on a show.
01:05
But, like, it's the playoffs.
01:07
You know, it's my 16th year being here.
01:09
So, you know, you understand what you're up against.
01:12
You understand that just because you're going back home, it's not going to be easy.
01:16
It's not guaranteed a win.
01:17
And, you know, for us, you know, playing against this very good Denver Nuggets team, you know, it's just even cue.
01:24
You know what I mean?
01:25
We lose last game.
01:26
We didn't get too low.
01:27
We win tonight.
01:27
We didn't get too high.
01:28
It's just, you know, the series could have easily been, you know, 0-2.
01:31
We could have been down.
01:32
Or it could have been 2-0.
01:33
We could have been up.
01:34
You know what I mean?
01:34
And we understand that.
01:35
So, going back home is, you know, it's another opportunity for us to win.
01:41
I think it's an opportunity not to screw it up.
01:44
They got to go home and beat Denver.
01:46
This is how you finish them off.
01:47
Go home.
01:48
And they played well enough to win both games in Denver.
01:52
In fact, I think they're better than Denver.
01:57
And so, listen, and don't tell me that this kid is better than Ty Lue coaching.
02:04
I'm not buying that Adelson's son is, you know.
02:09
So, look, I think they got a huge opportunity here.
02:12
They can't blow it.
02:15
I still believe that this series, I think the Clippers are going to win the series.
02:19
But I think every game is going to be like these first two.
02:23
I really think that all these games are going to be down to the wire.
02:27
I think these games, these teams are very even.
02:30
And, you know, I don't see any blows.
02:32
It's just Joker's too good.
02:34
Claw and Harden are too good.
02:35
It just seems like it's going to constantly be tight.
02:37
Joker feels that way, too.
02:40
He thinks this has been a best series for the fans.
02:43
I don't disagree with him.
02:43
It's been outstanding.
02:45
Nicole, how much does the mindset change leaving here tied 1-1 instead of being up 2-0?
02:50
I mean, I think we could be down to 0-2.
02:52
And I think we can be up 2-0.
02:54
So I think it's a great 2-game.
02:58
We had a great 2-game, whatever his name.
03:04
I think the fans, I think if you're a basketball fan, I think this is probably the best basketball you can watch.
03:11
It's both ends.
03:12
Like, even mistakes, even big plays.
03:14
Like, Kawhi had an amazing game.
03:16
You have an amazing game by a player.
03:19
I think we had a really good 2-game.
03:24
And if you're a basketball fan, I think it's a pleasure to watch.
03:28
I think he was looking for series.
03:31
But I think it's clearly.
03:35
But look, I thought the Pistons and Knicks, both games were really interesting.
03:40
But they weren't better than the Clippers-Nuggets games.
03:44
I agree.
03:45
The Clippers-Nuggets, those have been the two best games of the NBA playoffs so far.
03:50
They've been the two Clipper-Nugget games.
03:52
Hands down, no doubts.
