00:00 The LA Clippers have not been playing their best basketball in Evita Zubats and the team

00:06 knows it.

00:07 On a conference call with media today, Zubats had mentioned that the team's got to act like

00:12 they're the best team.

00:13 They got to act like they're the favorite.

00:14 Stock Rivers tells them this all the time, but they're not playing like it.

00:18 And people expected the Dallas Mavericks to push the Clippers a bit, but no one expected

00:22 the series to go at least to six games, especially with the Clippers sweeping them in the regular

00:27 season.

00:28 And a lot of this is due to just lackadaisical play, bad offense, poor communication, poor

00:33 defense and overall weak spirit.

00:35 Granted Patrick Beverly isn't playing, but that's no excuse for the Clippers.

00:39 And a lot of the blame could also rest on the hands of Paul George because George is

00:44 having a historically awful, historically awful postseason run, shooting 20% from the

00:52 29% from the field, 20% from three.

00:56 He's barely doing anything out there on the floor, to be honest.

00:59 And Zubats had mentioned, we all know who he is.

01:02 We all trust him.

01:03 He's one of the best players in the league.

01:04 We're just going to have to give him support.

01:07 Now George definitely seems rattled, but if there was ever a time to prove that he's not

01:11 and to prove who he is, it would be right now.

01:14 Now if the Clippers defeat the Mavericks, then it's a good learning experience for them.

01:18 They went through adversity, but if they lose, then they were never a championship team to

01:22 begin with.
