00:00So Wednesday night is the other Western Conference play-in,
00:02and it's interesting to me, Gilbert, that the start of the season,
00:04it looked like Golden State was going to make a run towards something this season,
00:08and then things just went so far south for them.
00:12Clippers played better, but not good enough to get them out of this situation
00:15that they're in, taking on the Warriors Wednesday night
00:19as four-and-a-half-point favorites, total of 220-and-a-half.
00:23I just don't know which Clippers team shows up,
00:25but if the good one shows up, Gilbert, Warriors are in deep trouble here.
00:29Absolutely, and it starts with that man on the screen.
00:31Kawhi Leonard is a guy who we've seen in these types of situations
00:34step up and lead their team.
00:36Now, Steph Curry has done the same thing.
00:38He's working his way back into the lineup after an injury,
00:41but we've seen him show signs of still being Steph Curry,
00:44even at 38 years old, even after playing through injury
00:47or dealing with a knee injury.
00:48Runner's knee is what he's dealing with.
00:50I lean Clippers in this game just because of the type of defenders
00:53that Chris Dunn's, the guys that can throw at Steph Curry
00:55and make life difficult for him.
00:56The X factor, I think, for L.A. will be Darius Garland
00:59and Benedict Matherin, two guys that they acquired midseason.
01:03Can they step up and play big in this role
01:05in a postseason-like situation?
01:06But I just don't think the Warriors will have enough.
01:08Steph Curry has been great.
01:09Steph Curry is Steph Curry.
01:10But after that, who were you going to get from
01:13and the question of who's going to step up?
