00:00Patrick Beverly was asked about the difficulties of guarding Nicola Jokic and he didn't hold
00:05back at all.
00:06You know, Jokic caused a lot of foul trouble for the Clippers, fouling out Ivica Zubac,
00:09putting Trez in foul trouble, putting Jermichael Green in foul trouble.
00:12It just seemed like nobody could guard him without fouling.
00:15And Patrick Beverly, you know, he went all out in what his response was.
00:19He said, the same things that Jokic presents are what Luka Doncic presents, a lot of flailing.
00:26You know, it puts a lot of pressure on the referees to make the right call.
00:28I think Zu did a hell of a job, six fouls, did what he needed to do and got one big
00:33dunk at the end.
00:34And George kind of mimicked the same statement, Paul George, he said, you know, Jokic a lot
00:38of times flails around and the things that he gets aren't fouls, but it is what it is.
00:44So it'll be interesting to see, you know, how Jokic responds to this kind of trash talk
00:50in a sense by Patrick Beverly and Paul George.
00:53And while you can call it true, you can call it untrue, Patrick Beverly called it out and
00:58that's the thing that's going to present itself more than anything.
