 So here it is the battle of LA Los Angeles Clippers vs. Los Angeles Lakers and you know the clip is they're in need of A series win they need to advance to the NBA finals and with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin going into free agency The clip is need these two guys to stay and if they lose this series Well, there might be a big chance that they're not gonna stay one of the series coming up a lot of playoff Experience here at this table. Shaq. What do you think is the most important thing to establish in the first game of a series? Well, not literally because I don't want anybody to get suspended, but you got to come out swinging You got to capture the momentum right now, and you got to come out the gate strong feisty as always, but again, you got to come out swinging Yeah, but if you that means you're not holding back because this is not the time to hold back If you put a team on their heels early, you can really shape the series. I'm telling you that is big So you want to just impose your style and your will right away So here it is game one Los Angeles Clippers, you know these guys They're a pretty good team, but you know in real life if you said the Lakers vs. Clippers Yeah, I mean after the Lakers lost to the 76ers in real life You wouldn't say it's a pretty close matchup, but in this my GM series. Well, it's a pretty close matchup Actually, I mean look at the score 7-0 now it's 7-2 star But the Lakers finally do something good as they get a steal and a slam dunk right there with Jabari Parker Now, you know, I wanted to say this to start out the the commentary Shout out to Kobe Bryant on announcing his retirement Although he's been playing like a bum in real life this man. He's had some wonderful careers is one of the greatest players of all time So it's pretty sad to see him not performing as he once did but I guess it's nice to see him You know finally giving up the shoes giving up the the Kobe 7s and the Kobe 9s and whatever whichever Kobe's he wore he's given them up right now, so he's announcing his retirement and You know, I guess it might be an Australian term saying giving up the boots, but Yeah, in America, I don't know if they say that but I'll just say I'll just say giving up the shoes You know, he's he's retiring right now. So yeah, shout out to Kobe Bryant on announcing his retirement Yeah, let's get into the commentary. Yes Kelly Ubre slams it down right there giving the Lakers a Leaves going to the second quarter because you know, they didn't play too well at the start of this quarter in fact, they played terribly and Yeah, so to end the first quarter Kelly Ubre almost got another slam dunk with JR Smith missing this fadeaway 3 It's a it's a two-point lead to the Lakers going in to the second quarter But we actually fast forward man. We fast forward on to the next one on to the next one on to no We fast forward to the last quarter 65 to 72 the Lakers are down right here and we're gonna see if they can come back Ready gives it down to Blake Griffin who slams it down as he does pretty much every game There's there's always a couple slams once again with the LLU from CP3 to Blake Griffin And then we come back with who would you see that move right there? You got around the Andre too too smooth as Chris smooth would say and we get a nice block with the Sun White So it who has been boiling in real life. Yeah, I mean he's had some uh, some My goodness, it's not white side settle down. Oh my goodness. I was sick right there I saw him white side just just did a window slam at the alley as a putback It wasn't even an alley if that was mad right there Blake Griffin just doing what he does But like I was saying it's not white side He's he's had a couple of cold games In real life recently because he started off the year you know crazy numbers He's still kind of getting those blocks But as a heat fan, you know, I'd like to see him step up on the on the scoring category man Cuz he needs to score some more buckets and then I absolutely just get murdered right there by CP3 Yeah, man My ankles got broken The Angela Russell got crossed up by CP3. He just said you know young blood Let me cross you up real quick and then you know because it's CP3 He dribbles it out gives it to play Griffin and guess that mid-range to go So the Clippers are looking very solid right now It's 80 to 73 and with Chris Paul getting the layup right there and a flow to go over here The game is pretty much done because there's only you know three minutes left and with that type of lead The Lakers couldn't come back from that. So the Clippers they take game number one and don't worry You're gonna be seeing game number two in this episode as well So it's a 85 to 104 win for the Clippers Blake Griffin You know, he's talking to Doris Burke and saying you know what they have to do to get game two as well And you know like all NBA players say, you know, they just got to do the same thing for game two The same thing for game three to get the same thing for game four and then they'll sweep us But that's not gonna happen because where the Lakers we're gonna come back and fire We're gonna fire back and we're gonna do some work in the next game And if not the next game we'll do work in that game after and if not the game after we'll do We'll do work in the game after that because as you can see there's one at left and it's 111 to 86 We're not gonna win this game. So the Clippers. Yeah, man. These guys are pretty good They take game number two as well. I mean We're gonna have to do some strategic planning because we really could not face up against these guys I mean our big men down low they were doing some kind of work as you can see the markets, right? They're getting the rebound and slamming it back down, but we uh, yeah We got to step it up man We just we couldn't do work and with DeAngelo Russell getting the you know The three-point shot at the buzzer it doesn't even matter because you know the Clippers get this victory And yeah 20-point victory to the Clippers was not looking good for the Lakers So they're down the Lakers are down to oh as the Clippers take the first two games And as I said, you know the big man are doing work But the rest of the team is it's kind of lacking and I think it's our bench production So we're gonna have to step that up in the next episode. It's been your morning Smith. I'm out Peace
