Chuck_ Nuggets in Trouble After Game 2 Loss to the Clippers _ Inside the NBA · Bleacher Report

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: And add this to the equation. Kawhi Leonard, who played
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: thirty seven games this year, missed the first thirty four
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and they went twenty seven and eleven when he was
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: in the lineup, And you see his numbers and what
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: he's done against Denver in the first two games of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: this series. So I mean, I'm looking at the factors
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: in this game. I'm looking at those Denver turnovers, I'm
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: looking at eight missed free throws by the Nuggets, and
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at this guy, Kawhi Leonard won a night
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: he had Kenny Well.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: The difference, you know, even in game won with the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: seven turner was he you could see the efficiency he
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: was not for fifteen. So I think, as a great player,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: you go, well, I can get my shot off and
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I can be super efficient. And so now some of
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: those extra passes he turned into shots, and so all
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, he became more of a scoring mentality
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: than a facilitator. And you know, he can maybe go
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: back to being a facilitator, but he gets the shot
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: he wants. Against this team, there's no one that can
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: really stop him because when they put a big on him,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: his ball handling is so good and they would have put.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: A small on him. He's no. He posts up bigs
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: that small, so he posts up everybody.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know that I've seen him look this healthy
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in ages.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: You know, Truck makes a good point and a bad point.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: You know he's missed a lot of games, but that
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: just means you have a lot of rest. You don't
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: have the same wear and tear everybody as everybody else.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: You know, he comes from the program. He's a great player,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: always kept himself in shape when he was hurt, and
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: he's playing with great energy.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: He played well.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: But the Nuggets, they're going to say, hey, we had
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: a chance to win this game. Joker's going to go
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: back and look at the rotations and you know, look
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: to make better passes. Seven seventh turnovers for a guy
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: of his calders just too much.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I think that.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: I think the Nuggets are in trouble for the fact
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: the Clippers, as good as they are, they play even
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: better at home. Their role players play much better at home,
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: and obviously Kawhi.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I think probably the one problem with Kawhi.
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: I actually think one of the reasons he gets he
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: gets hurt is he doesn't play enough. I don't think
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: he develops like you know, people say, get callouses and
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: get that endurance in your body. So when he comes back,
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: he always plays great and then his body gives out.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: I wonder how long he's gonna be able to sustain
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: it because every time he comes back he plays great
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: and then he gets hurt again. But man, I tell you,
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: I've never seen a guy come back and don't have
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: russ whatsoever. I mean, he is so efficient, he goes
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: at his pace. He's a nightmare matchup because you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: you can't put a little gull on him, and you
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: can't put a big guy on him. But listen, Powell,
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Derrick Jones, Zubot's, all those guys.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: They play much better in LA.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: So it is if the Nuggets cannot wear in one
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: of this next couple of games.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: This is gonna be a quit and under estimate.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: The other thing about Kawhi is you know what, all right,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: big fella, you know catch it the crap?
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, keep talking joke, Yeah, were on TV? What
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: we do? Go ahead? Yeah? That's that olive all you've
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: been drinking.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Hey, take some matches with you.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Hey, listen, he couldn't hold it after forty You can't
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: hold it, what's it?
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: First call? That wasn't something planned? Was it? Listen?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: He was in the back talking about he's a drink
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: alcohol and clear up, he's been drinking.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to cleaning gut, it's clean. I did
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: not like his gait is he allowed that was not
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: a terrible war right there? Drinking.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: He's been drinking, he says. He read somewhere, if you
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: drink a shot of olive all.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I saw them doing that the other day in the
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: maker poof. They've been doing it. They've been doing it.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: They're gonna do it. You have to do it for
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: two weeks, going to miss a lot of airtime. Hey, listen,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: list I just hope we got enough matches around it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: He turned his mic off. That's all. That's another issue. Hey,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: somebody go get some lighters. All right. You can't even
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: you can't how do we say it away from that?
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: You can't even make You can't even know what I
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: was going to say about Kawhi he has before he goes.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: We need to get that think I was, He reminds
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: on her head, sious, I get.
• 4:33

  Speaker 5: great Magic Johnson.

  Speaker 5: Got like Lebron is number two, and we know how
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: great Lebron is. But for Magic Johnson to still be
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: leading because he Magic probably played twelve thirteen years.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's amazing. Magic Johnson, shout out to you. The
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: one thing as we're going to break. The one thing
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I did want to say about Kawhi was that's underrated
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and he reminds me of a better version of this guy.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: What Ronald Tess was he can get twenty thirty, but
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: he could stop me. He could stop you from game
