00:00It's official the LA Clippers are facing the Dallas Mavericks in the first round

00:05of the NBA playoffs. It's a series that Doc Rivers called a hell of a series. If

00:12you want to look at the regular season history between the two the Clippers

00:15comfortably swept them 3-0 in the regular season and granted we can't take

00:20those results too seriously because there's always that time the Brooklyn

00:23Nets swept the Miami Heat 4-0 and then didn't really do much against them in

00:27the playoffs. But we talked to Doc Rivers, Kawhi Leonard and Lou Williams

00:32about what to expect. Lou mentioned that Luka is gonna be a handful but at the

00:36end of the day he feels good about that matchup. He thinks the team that's gonna

00:40play play hardest is gonna win the series and Lou has every right to be you

00:45know proud of that matchup or comfortable with that matchup because of

00:48the regular season success. For Kawhi it's just business as usual. The calmest

00:54man in the NBA always gives the calmest answers. For him it's just about making

00:59sure the Clippers enter that series healthy, figuring out a way to get the

01:04continuity they need throughout that series and use that to build into a

01:07later part of the playoffs.
