00:00 I'm Melissa Roland with Sports Illustrated and we're here with Jill Painter-Lopez.
00:07 Now Danny Green was recently interviewed about what a potential playoff series between the
00:12 Clippers and the Lakers would look like if basketball were to resume.
00:15 What did he say?
00:16 Well, Melissa, if basketball is going to resume soon, and we certainly hope that let's start
00:21 talking potential playoff matchups.
00:23 And this is the one everybody here in Los Angeles wants to see Lakers versus Clippers.
00:28 Danny Green knows Kawhi Leonard very well.
00:30 Obviously, they won two NBA championships together in 2014 and 2019 with the Spurs
00:36 and then the Raptors.
00:37 So he knows his tendencies.
00:38 He knows what he likes to do.
00:39 And he said, obviously, we need to contain him, not as individuals, but as a group.
00:44 But then he said, you know, the biggest X factor is those role players.
00:47 He's like like Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrells.
00:49 And he believes that it's those two to three guys that really have an impact and can change
00:54 the series.
00:55 So obviously, you know, they you know, we have to hope Kawhi Leonard doesn't go off.
00:58 They hope the same for LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
01:02 He's like, but those role players are really going to play a factor.
01:05 He said this on first take.
01:07 And it's it's an interesting take again, contain those superstars.
01:11 But watch out for those role players.
