00:00 It's official, the LA Clippers are facing the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of
00:06 the NBA playoffs.
00:08 It's a series that Doc Rivers called "a hell of a series."
00:12 If you want to look at the regular season history between the two, the Clippers comfortably
00:16 swept them 3-0 in the regular season.
00:19 And granted, we can't take those results too seriously because there's always that time
00:22 the Brooklyn Nets swept the Miami Heat 4-0 and then didn't really do much against them
00:27 in the playoffs.
00:28 But we talked to Doc Rivers, Kawhi Leonard, and Lou Williams about what to expect.
00:33 Lou mentioned that Luka is going to be a handful, but at the end of the day, he feels good about
00:38 that matchup.
00:39 He thinks the team that's going to play hardest is going to win the series.
00:43 And Lou has every right to be, you know, proud of that matchup or comfortable with that matchup
00:47 because of the regular season success.
00:50 For Kawhi, it's just business as usual.
00:54 The calmest man in the NBA always gives the calmest answers.
00:58 For him, it's just about making sure the Clippers enter that series healthy, figuring out a
01:03 way to get the continuity they need throughout that series, and use that to build into a
01:07 later part of the playoffs.
