00:00 Patrick Beverly was asked about the difficulties of guarding Nicola Jokic and
00:04 he didn't hold back at all.
00:06 Jokic caused a lot of foul trouble for the Clippers, fouling out Ibiza's Zubats,
00:09 putting Shrez in foul trouble, putting Jermichael Green in foul trouble.
00:12 It just seemed like nobody could guard him without fouling.
00:15 And Patrick Beverly, he went all out and what his response was, he said,
00:20 the same things that Jokic presents are what Luka Doncic presents, a lot of flailing.
00:26 Puts a lot of pressure on the referees to make the right call.
00:28 I think Zu did a hell of a job.
00:30 Six fouls, did what he needed to do, and got one big dunk at the end.
00:34 And George kind of mimicked the same statement, Paul George.
00:36 He said, Jokic a lot of times flails around and
00:40 the things that he gets aren't fouls, but it is what it is.
00:44 So it'll be interesting to see how Jokic responds to this kind of
00:49 trash talk in a sense by Patrick Beverly and Paul George.
00:53 And while you can call it true, you can call it untrue,
00:56 Patrick Beverly called it out.
00:58 And that's the thing that's gonna present itself more than anything.
