The Clippers will be looking for revenge against the Nuggets, who knocked him out of the playoffs.

10 30 Eastern, ESPN.

Stephen A.

Stephen A.

Who do you have more faith in moving forward?

你對誰更有前進的信心？

Is it the Nuggets or the Clippers?

是掘金隊還是快船隊？

For me, it's the Clippers.

對我來說，是快船隊。

And the reason why it's the Clippers is because I think that when you talk about the Clippers going up against the Los Angeles Lakers again, they're highly motivated.

而之所以是快船隊，是因為我覺得當你說到快船隊要再次對陣洛杉磯湖人隊的時候，他們的積極性很高。

And I think they match up, particularly with the acquisition of Serge Ibaka, not to beat the Lakers, but I think all of those intangibles, all of those things on the side combined with the skill set that they have in play.

而且我認為他們的配合，尤其是在收購了塞爾吉-伊巴卡之後，並不是要擊敗湖人隊，而是我認為所有這些無形的東西，所有這些東西在側面結合了他們所擁有的技術組合，在發揮。

I definitely think that could give the Lakers a significant run for their money.

我絕對認為這可以給湖人隊帶來巨大的收益。

My issue with the Denver Nuggets, Max is believe it or not, the Joker.

我對丹佛掘金隊的問題，麥克斯是信不信由你，小丑。

He is incredibly skilled.

他的技術非常高超。

We know that.

我們知道這一點。

He has a special talent.

他有一種特殊的天賦。

He's an all star, you know.

他是一個全明星，你知道。

He's big time.

他是個大人物

We get it.

我們明白了。

Except for when he's going up against Anthony Davis.

除了他和安東尼-戴維斯對位的時候。

I think that when he has to answer the Anthony Davis, I think it's a problem for him.

我覺得當他要回答安東尼-戴維斯的時候，我覺得這對他來說是個問題。

And when you acquire Marc Gasol and then you add.

而當你收購了馬克-加索爾，然後你加。

Montreal's Harold is well, even though he had his way with Harold and those boys for the Clippers last year in the conference semifinals, when the average 20 for the bottom line is, I just think that going when you talk about them or compared to the Clippers is being that formidable threat to the Lakers.

蒙特利爾的哈羅德是好的，即使他去年在聯賽半決賽中為快船隊的哈羅德和那些孩子們，當平均20為底線是，我只是認為，去當你談論他們或與快船隊相比，是作為湖人隊的那個強大的威脅。

I trust the Clippers MAWR because I think athleticism is desperately needed when you're going up against the Los Angeles Lakers.

我相信快船隊的MAWR，因為我認為當你要與洛杉磯湖人隊對抗時，運動能力是迫切需要的。

Joking can play, uh, no doubt about that, but he he can't jump onto a curve.

開玩笑可以玩，呃，毫無疑問，但他... ...他不能跳到曲線上。

I mean, he has no hops whatsoever.

我的意思是，他沒有任何啤酒花。

You need that against Anthony Davis.

你需要這個來對付安東尼-戴維斯。

He doesn't have it, and I think because he's such a focus for Denver offensively as well, he should be when he's going up against Anthony Davis It's a huge, huge problem for Denver to overcome, and that's my issue with that matchup.

他沒有，我認為因為他在進攻上也是丹佛的焦點，他應該在與安東尼-戴維斯對位時，這是丹佛要克服的一個巨大的，巨大的問題，這是我對這場比賽的問題。

Well, look, the reason a D is better than Yokich is because A D is a superstar, a superstar on both ends of the floor.

嗯，你看，阿D之所以比橫豎好，是因為阿D是超級巨星，是兩頭的超級巨星。

But Yokich could do so many things offensively.

但橫瀝在進攻上可以做的事情太多了。

You know, if you shut down his scoring and he could bully you inside, he could shoot from the outside.

你知道，如果你關閉了他的得分，他可以在內線欺負你，他可以在外線投籃。

He is arguably, and you probably win the argument, the greatest passing big who ever lived, at least in the modern era.

他可以說，你可能贏得了爭論，有史以來最偉大的傳球大戶，至少在現代。

He could bring the ball up like he could actually be your your point center, bringing the ball up and getting you into the offense or or from the pivot or wherever.

他可以把球帶起來，就像他實際上可以成為你的你的點中心，把球帶起來，讓你進入進攻或或從支點或任何地方。

This dude is special and and, more importantly, Stephen A.

這位老兄很特別，更重要的是，斯蒂芬-A。

He and Jamal Murray play up in the playoffs.

他和賈馬爾-穆雷在季後賽中打得風生水起。

They become the best version of themselves when you need the most, right.

在你最需要的時候，他們會成為最好的自己吧。

I mean, these guys and Jamal Murray is still getting better.

我的意思是，這些人和賈馬爾-穆雷還在不斷進步。

So the difference between the two teams and we go to the supporting cast and you're right, the Nuggets supporting cast is gonna have to get better from within because they are a team who really probably needed to add something, but didn't.

所以兩支球隊的區別，我們去看配角，你說的沒錯，掘金隊的配角要從內部變得更好，因為他們是一支真正可能需要增加一些東西的球隊，但是沒有。

But they have reason to believe that Michael Porter Jr will become a legitimate third scoring star to go with the other two.

但他們有理由相信，小邁克爾-波特會成為名副其實的第三得分明星，與其他兩人並駕齊驅。

In the meantime, Will Barton is no slouch.

同時，威爾-巴頓也不甘示弱。

She's a good MBA player as this Paul Millsap, like they have guys in their starting lineup in rotation who can play.

她是一個很好的MBA球員，因為這個保羅-米爾薩普，就像他們的首發陣容裡有能打的人在輪換。

But the important thing for me is I look at the Clippers.

但對我來說，重要的是我看快船隊。

I see their two stars and Paul George.

我看到他們的兩個明星和保羅-喬治。

I hate to do this.

我討厭這樣做。

I don't like doing this to James Harden.

我不喜歡這樣對待詹姆斯-哈登。

I especially don't like doing it to Paul George, who, like I used to argue with people four or five years ago.

我特別不喜歡對保羅-喬治這樣做，就像四五年前，我曾經和人爭論過。

He's better than Carmelo because he's a two way player and everyone was telling me I was crazy.

他比卡梅羅好，因為他是一個雙向的球員，每個人都在告訴我，我是瘋了。

So I really root for for Paul George.

所以我真的為保羅-喬治加油。

But the fact is he goes away in the playoffs like Carmelo was a guy who, when the moment was big, you can give him the ball on.

但事實上，他在季後賽中的走勢就像卡梅羅是一個人，當大勢所趨的時候，你可以把球給他上。

Carmelo could take you there.

卡梅羅可以帶你過去

Paul George has not been that guy in the playoffs, period.

保羅-喬治在季後賽中不是那個人，就這樣。

Yokich has been.

橫瀝已經。

Jamal Murray has been, but on Li Kuai has been on the Clippers now.

賈馬爾-穆雷一直在，但是在李奎現在已經在快船隊。

So there's number two scorer is gonna be Who?

所以二號射手會是誰？

Lou Williams.

盧-威廉姆斯

Not that he can't do it, but that's not how it's supposed to be.

不是說他做不到，而是不應該是這樣的。

They really need Paul George to be a superstar in the playoffs.

他們真的需要保羅-喬治在季後賽中成為一個超級巨星。

I haven't seen it.

我還沒有看到它。

I have to say I have more faith in the Nuggets as a result.

不得不說，我是以對掘金隊更有信心。

Well, listen, Paul George, I mean, listen last year, Game seven, there's no excuse for him and him and Kawhi Leonard.

好吧，聽著，保羅・喬治，我的意思是，聽著去年，第七場比賽，沒有任何藉口，他和他和Kawhi Leonard。

But I'm just looking at his numbers here, Max says.

但我只是在看他的數據，麥克斯說。

I wanted to look it up in the previous four playoff Siri's that Paul George was in last year, and last year he averaged 27 28 24 28.

我想查一下保羅-喬治去年參加的前四次季後賽的爵士，去年他的平均成績是27 28 24 28。

Now, Max, he could have played better, particularly in clutch moments.

現在，馬克斯，他本可以打得更好，尤其是在關鍵時刻。

I understand that, but we're talking about him like, you know, you're talking about him like he just wet the bed every time that you know what?

我明白，但我們說的是他，你知道，你說的是他就像他每次尿床一樣，你知道嗎？

He was just a shell of himself, like the damn near scrub Paul George Pinball Paul George just had good performances in the postseason in his career.

他只是一個軀殼，就像那個該死的近乎擦邊球的保羅-喬治品球保羅-喬治只是在職業生涯的季後賽中有過不錯的表現。

It hasn't been consistent enough.

它還不夠穩定。

It certainly didn't occur last year, particularly in Game seven, but let's cut the brother a little bit of slack.

去年當然沒有出現這種情況，尤其是在第七場比賽中，但我們還是要給這位兄弟一點顏色看看。

It's not like the brother went AWOL and disappeared other than Game seven.

除了第七場比賽外，弟弟又不是擅離職守，消失了。

It's not like he went AWOL and just disappeared.

他又不是擅離職守，就這麼消失了。

And all of these years he's never done anything.

而這些年來，他從來沒有做過什麼。

Paul George has had plenty of good playoff game performances, is just a sustained level of excellence that's required for you to get to that next level.

保羅-喬治在季後賽有很多不錯的表現，只是你要想進入下一個層次，需要持續的優秀水準。

Where LeBron and A D and those boys.

勒布朗和A D以及那些男孩在哪裡。

Because a D average 31 last year in that conference finals against the Joker, he averaged 21 a.

因為去年那場大會決賽對陣小丑的比賽中，一個D平均31，他平均21一個。

D average 31.

D平均31歲。

Yeah, we need to see more of that from Paul George, No question.

是啊，我們需要看到更多的從保羅-喬治，毫無疑問。

But it was like Paul George was some scrub that can't show up come postseason time.

但這就像保羅-喬治是一些不能在季後賽時出現的擦邊球。

I think we need to stop talking about him like that.

我覺得我們不要再這樣說他了。

Well, well, hold on.

好吧，好吧，等一下。

It's the same thing I say about James Harden, if you like.

如果你喜歡的話，我對詹姆斯-哈登也是這麼說的。

When you're falling from a very high height, you fall down, you're still pretty good.

當你從很高的地方掉下來的時候，你掉下來，你還是很厲害的。

I'm not saying Paul George is a below average player, even in the playoffs.

我不是說保羅-喬治是一個低於平均水平的球員，即使是在季後賽中。

What I'm saying, Paul George is above average.

我說的是，保羅-喬治高於平均水平。

So how's he?

那麼，他怎麼樣了？

Why do you like that?

你為什麼喜歡這樣？

Makes you think if if a dude like that plays up like that's quiet for for a lot of his career for the last several years in the regular season, he's not an M V.

讓你覺得如果像這樣的紈絝子弟，在過去幾年的常規賽中，他的職業生涯中很多時候都是這樣安靜的打球，他就不是一個M V。
