Before we get into that, it's a rainy day in 12 00:00:38,439 --> 00:00:42,079 La Adam Oslin, Will Updike, How are you doing? Adam will start 13 00:00:42,119 --> 00:00:46,039 with you. I'm good Clippers of one twenty eight of thirty six. I 14 00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:50,560 mean, what else matters? They ran some threes down on the Wizards last 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,280 night too, got back on track in that area, so I'm good with 16 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,520 it. Feeling good will are you cozied up? You had to go on 17 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,560 a journey to pay your rent and to Hollywood? How are you? Yeah? 18 00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:03,280 Yeah, the the method in which I pay my rent and where it 19 00:01:03,319 --> 00:01:07,400 actually goes U is a conversation for another time. There's a lot of ans 20 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:14,719 and announced with that. But it's close, It's pretty damn close. But 21 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,079 I'm doing good. I'm doing good. It was bizarre, like how fast 22 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,840 the turnaround from rain was? Yeah, I was getting a thousand year storm. 23 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,599 I was asked about that, and so people asked me what I was 24 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,799 going to do, and I said I was going to die because if it 25 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:37,400 was a thousand year storms, so it's a thousand years long something like that. 26 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,719 I don't know. Let's get into the most fun news of the day, 27 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:46,640 right, the biggest news for Clippers fans. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George 28 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,840 are all stars. Hell yeah, did you did you guys think that we 29 00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:56,200 would get to guess? Yeah? I mean these were shoeings. I mean 30 00:01:56,359 --> 00:02:00,159 unbiasedly though, No, for sure, if you looked at all the projections, 31 00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:04,319 it was obvious. Of course Kawhi was gonna make it, and pretty 32 00:02:04,359 --> 00:02:08,080 much everybody had Paul Georgian too, and they've also again they've been available. 33 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,800 Right, it's like their this is like the one thing that they're gonna do 34 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,719 to be like, yeah, thanks for playing enough games, guys. But 35 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,280 hell yeah, I hope they don't play very much to be honest in the 36 00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:23,719 game itself. Right, Yeah, maybe PG doesn't go at all. I 37 00:02:23,719 --> 00:02:27,840 don't know. We'll see what happens. What do you man? That would 38 00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:31,479 be funny if he sat out. I mean we've seen this before when guys 39 00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:35,560 are dinged up and they're dealing with an injury and they put them in for 40 00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:38,719 like a minute just to get a little bit of run and say they were 41 00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:42,039 there. They were all stars. They they were featured in the game. 42 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,240 But and it's the same like scoring rules this time. I think we're back 43 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:52,560 to normal East versus West is back, so the elam rule is gone. 44 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:59,800 No more quarters. I'm guessing they give no quarters. Well playing well, 45 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:07,280 that was great. That was fantastic for quaiebg Tylu also named Western Conference Coach 46 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,319 of the Month. Hell yeah, first time a Clippers coach has ever won 47 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:15,759 it in back to back months. Who was Player of the month Devin Booker? 48 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,560 Interesting, wasn't he? Or No? He was player of the week, 49 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:27,719 who was Player of the month? Has that been released? Yeah, 50 00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:34,759 Devin Booker was Was he average thirty five? Lame? Uh? He averaged 51 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,080 thirty four and six? They won eleven and five, which is not as 52 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:46,240 good. No, eleven, and some would say it adds to the level 53 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,280 of disrespect going on. And then we'll get into it in a little bit 54 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,840 here. But I'm getting boys, you're pissed off. I'm happy for tylu 55 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,719 And I have the question on the rundown, which Adam, I see you're 56 00:03:57,759 --> 00:04:01,080 on. I always appreciate that, Uh will on it. No, he's 57 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,919 not. Are we comfortable calling this on my second computer over here? Dude? 58 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:13,520 I got second? What's the thing from Swordfish? The all the Yeah, 59 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,399 he's got to make the cube on all the all the screens of computers. 60 00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:20,000 Yeah, he's got to make a worm, That's what he's got to 61 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,519 make. Uh. Is this the best regular season Clippers team of all time? 62 00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:29,160 Or just the best Clippers team of all time? I said, like 63 00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:31,279 a month and a half ago, this is the best regular season stretch of 64 00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:38,040 all time. I mean it's it's the best they've ever played consistently in a 65 00:04:38,079 --> 00:04:42,600 regular season. This record that they have, but also the high level victories 66 00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:47,120 and the dominance where I think Kawhi has not had to play in ten fourth 67 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,920 quarters so far this second I don't know. I think they still lead in 68 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:59,399 most twenty point wins, which also I think the Clippers are a horrible garbage 69 00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:01,720 time team, So it should be more twenty point wins. Well, maybe 70 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,480 it's amount of times you're up by at least twenty in a ball game, 71 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,439 not necessarily where the final score is. So yeah, there should be final 72 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:15,079 score because I feel like with the point fluctuations like twenty unless it's ending on 73 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,160 twenty twenty minutes or twenty points doesn't mean that much to me. Damn, 74 00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:21,800 And We'll wants more. Will wants more from this Clippers team. I would 75 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:27,519 respect that. Yeah, and like the I also think what plays into it 76 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,360 too is they're doing everything they said in the off season everyone was. I 77 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,920 don't know if skeptical is the right word. I think that has a heavier 78 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,959 negative weight than kind of the word that I mean, But I think you 79 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,759 know what I mean. We were like, we're gonna believe it when we 80 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,480 see it. We've heard this before, we bought in before, and not 81 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,480 necessarily been burned, but it hasn't gotten how we wanted it to. And 82 00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:49,519 this year it's actually going like we wanted to. And it starts with the 83 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,040 availability, I think, going back to training camp, being able to go 84 00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:58,600 two a days with Kawhi and Paul George and so a lot of this is 85 00:05:58,759 --> 00:06:02,639 just dependent on good fortune, some good luck finally being in their favor to 86 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,560 a degree. They've still had some injuries. It sounds like Big Zoo's turning 87 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,920 a corner. Yeah, he's with the team right now, and coach lou 88 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,920 was asked about if he'll be available on this road trip and it's like, 89 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,600 whoa nobody anticipated that we were all talking about. Yeah, post All Star 90 00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:20,519 break, Yeah, probably then he'll be back. But Paul George dinged up 91 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:29,040 to But overall, you combine that with the addition of James Harden and the 92 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,759 level of intensity and urgency they've been playing with, and they have met the 93 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:40,480 expectations of taking the regular season. More Seriously, I'm wondering, do you 94 00:06:40,519 --> 00:06:44,720 want Zoo to come back before the All Star break? If we're playing well, 95 00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:46,160 I'm kind of like, let's maybe take a little bit of time into 96 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,639 this All Star break. Could they take it more seriously though, could they 97 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:57,040 all be playing in glasses? Maybe a monocle. I don't know. If 98 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,959 I'm not trying to get down on them, I'm trying to light a fire 99 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,920 under the Clippers. If he can't worsen the injury, if that's how they 100 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:08,759 assess it, then I'd be fine with him coming back because it's still about 101 00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:11,160 trying to get a top three seed in the West, and things are that 102 00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:15,120 close where it could come down to a game or two by the end of 103 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,759 the season, and you could it could fluctuate from being, you know, 104 00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:25,040 the first seed to the third seed by a game or two. It could 105 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,120 be that tight at the top of the West. Who has tie breakers above 106 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,000 us? I would guess Minnesota and Oka. See, so they're one on 107 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,519 one against OKAC, right, they've only played Minnesota once, they lost to 108 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:44,800 them, and they're one and two against Denver so far with one more to 109 00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:48,120 go. And that extra game against Denver came out of the nd season tournament. 110 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,519 Just that's right. Yeah, so the little maybe good fortune there At 111 00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:55,759 the time, we're like, oh, great, they have to play Denver 112 00:07:55,839 --> 00:08:00,199 again because of this, but actually they have a chance and it's at home 113 00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:03,319 for the Clippers to tie the regular season series again man an iconic. Well, 114 00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:07,600 actually for the podcast, I love a good will. Actually, yeah, 115 00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:11,360 this is terrifying. We kind of talked about it a couple of weeks 116 00:08:11,399 --> 00:08:13,920 ago about how the top four was going to start to become kind of a 117 00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:20,920 death struggle. It has become exactly that. All the teams are pretty separating 118 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,639 themselves a fair amount from the Kings, who are six games behind in the 119 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:30,279 five seed, and just one through four is crazy right now? Yeah, 120 00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:33,879 I should say the separation between one through four could be that tight, not 121 00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:39,559 just one through three. But for the sake of the argument or the discussion 122 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,480 that we've had over the years of being a top three seed and the importance 123 00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:46,879 of that, you want to win as many as you can right now without 124 00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:50,440 pushing things too far. And I was happy to see that Paul George got 125 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,000 the night off against the Washington Wizards. Yeah, road trip's going pretty good 126 00:08:56,039 --> 00:08:58,159 so far. That Wizard's game was another one requieted Augh to play in the 127 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,679 fourth. Pg's not on the injury report for the game against the Pistons. 128 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,919 Well, do you think he'll end up back on it? As has been 129 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,480 the case the last couple of games with this, like recent embiid stuff where 130 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,879 it was like clear he wasn't right, and you know that he was pushing 131 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,840 to play, and you know he thought the injury was manageable, and you 132 00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:24,600 know, a trainer can only do as much as an athlete tells them. 133 00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:28,519 I don't know, you know, my answer, I guess is it depends. 134 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,759 And I know that's not a great answer, but I just don't see 135 00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:35,639 any reason to push it right now. I know things are tight, but 136 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,039 I do think we can make up some ground, and I mean it would 137 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:46,039 just be it would just be way more devastating to have a longer stretch without 138 00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:50,519 PG, especially I mean especially with March around the corner. So I you 139 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,399 know, I it depends. I guess I don't have a better answer than 140 00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:56,559 that, but I do worry that, you know, the players try that 141 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,600 players push it, and I'm worried that Paul George all and he did try 142 00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:05,240 to push it, so we'll see. To me, we already know he 143 00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:07,799 can reaggravate it, right because that's what happened against the Brooklyn Nets. This 144 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:13,080 was an injury he had back in early December. He started to play, 145 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,200 he was fine, he looked good. He looked great. Actually, he 146 00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:20,039 kind of turned things around after a little bit of a dip and then he 147 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,639 reaggravated it. So I wouldn't push things against a Pistons team that is the 148 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:33,480 worst team in the league, and you just saw they are dude, I 149 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,440 was waiting hold. When I was doing the rundown, I put like the 150 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:41,480 records in at some point in the second segment, we talk about the next 151 00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:48,039 games, but typing out six hyphen forty one, I was like, what 152 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,279 that is their record? I feel so and I mean this sincerely. I 153 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,120 cannot imagine being a Pistons fan right now typing I've never typed out six hyphen 154 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:01,000 forty one and never will again. That's an incredible win. Lost. They 155 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,360 lost twenty eight in a row. This is an all time bad team. 156 00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:09,600 I think I think PG should rest this game. I'm just sit him. 157 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,440 It's fine, it should be fine. It looked a little I don't know 158 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,559 if dicey is the right word against the Wizards, but the defense took a 159 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:22,200 second to lock in against the Wizards, which and it kind of it kind 160 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,360 of slopped up. I felt like in that third quarter until they just really 161 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,360 kind of put that one away. I wanted to give a shout out to 162 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:35,799 Adam for his man on Fire photoshop of Kawhi Leonard on Twitter. Let me 163 00:11:35,799 --> 00:11:39,799 actually pull that up. That was really funny. Yeah, did the defense? 164 00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:41,559 I mean, I guess I want him to see it more locked in 165 00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:46,720 against you know, the Pistons and stuff like that. This happens when you 166 00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:50,799 know you're that good offensively, when you know you're playing a team like the 167 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,399 Washington Wizards. They were only in front of the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern 168 00:11:54,399 --> 00:11:58,080 Conference standings going into that game. There's gonna be a letdown sometimes. I 169 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:03,440 don't know the Boston the Elters are playing down to the Lakers currently. These 170 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,720 things do happen in the league. The important thing is they more than doubled 171 00:12:09,639 --> 00:12:13,480 the Wizard's point output in that third quarter. Wasn't it forty to nineteen? 172 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,679 Yeah? The Clippers were unbelievable there in Kawhi man on Fire. He had 173 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,039 fourteen of his thirty one points in that third quarter, and it's just making 174 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,120 it look so easy. He's toying with everyone right now. It's a joke. 175 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:33,440 What's his I was doing some looking because sometimes you want to know what 176 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,799 odds are Kawhi Leonard is not in the top ten for MVP on bet MGM's 177 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:45,320 odds. Luca is third, which blows my mind because the maps are eighth 178 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,799 and I don't think anyone on an eight seed deem should be the MVP Gonbo. 179 00:12:48,919 --> 00:12:54,080 Usually, what does Kawhi have to do? He's playing, the Clippers 180 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,360 are playing well, they just had two great months. He's played every almost 181 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:01,120 every game, he's destroying on both ends. He has to get Will and 182 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,559 I to get upset for him, because Kawhi certainly doesn't care about this award, 183 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,879 and we will be as we were last night on Clippers Talk a little 184 00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:11,840 cliffs and div Will and I went off about this and it is perplexing. 185 00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:16,840 That's unbelievable because again, just like with him not being a Western Conference starter 186 00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:20,559 in the All Star Game, we're talking about a top seventy five player ever, 187 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,519 a well known commodity, if you want to put it, one of 188 00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:28,240 the greatest players of his generation. Yes, he's been injury prone, but 189 00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:31,639 when he's out there, everybody knows what he's capable of. And he's currently 190 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:37,600 having the best regular season of his career. And part of the reason has 191 00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:39,639 Will and I were going back and forth and getting each other worked up about 192 00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:43,879 this and what an injustice it is that Kawhi Leonard is an MVP conversations and 193 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,360 he wasn't a starter in the Western Conference. When you're not a starter in 194 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:54,879 the Western Conference All Star Game, that has a bigger effect on just overall 195 00:13:54,960 --> 00:14:01,039 national narrative of if you should be in the MVP conversation, if you're not 196 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,159 even a Western Conference starter in the All Star Game, Yeah, why would 197 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,559 you be talking about that guy being the MVP Because it would only make sense 198 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,159 that somebody in an MVP conversation also was starting in the All Star Game. 199 00:14:11,519 --> 00:14:15,960 So these things do matter now, they don't to Kawhi And ultimately, this 200 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,320 Clipper season is about winning a championship. But it's a little bit of a 201 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:24,200 talking point right now, and it just shows how loaded the NBA is with 202 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:31,600 casuals. I'm sorry, but either you realize, either you realize Kawhi Leonard 203 00:14:31,679 --> 00:14:37,000 should be in the conversation for MVP, or you're a casual. Either you 204 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:43,519 realize that he's had a better season overall than Kevin Durant and Lebron James, 205 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:48,120 or you're a casual I'm sorry, there's it's it's not about us, you 206 00:14:48,159 --> 00:14:52,399 know, covering the Clippers. This is obvious and it should be obvious to 207 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:58,799 everyone who's been paying attention at all. Yeah, I I agree with you. 208 00:14:58,919 --> 00:15:03,159 And I actually was listening to Windhorse and the Hoop Collective before I came 209 00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:07,240 on here, And that is the first whisper that I've even heard of Kawhi 210 00:15:07,559 --> 00:15:13,159 being in the MVP conversation. And we'll see how the games played, the 211 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:18,960 thing ends up working out, because it's obviously out of it. But I 212 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,600 know that Kawhi probably, I mean, I know that he doesn't care about 213 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:28,559 being an All Star starter, probably honestly does not care about a regular season 214 00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:33,080 MVP award either. But Adam brought up an interesting point about guy's legacies yesterday, 215 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,919 and I think if you look at things, i mean even ten years 216 00:15:37,919 --> 00:15:43,080 from now, if someone's trying to, like, you know, do a 217 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,360 comparison of who were like some of the best players of their eras, that's 218 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,759 gonna be one of the things that they look at. And you know, 219 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,679 I fear that if some of what Kawhi is doing right now is getting lost 220 00:15:54,759 --> 00:15:58,720 right now, like what is the future legacy of that because he is I 221 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,759 don't know, man, He's just had an incredible season. He's a top 222 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,639 two player in the league right now. Like I don't know, I don't 223 00:16:04,679 --> 00:16:08,519 know what the guy's gotta do. It is called the twenty twenty four NBA 224 00:16:08,679 --> 00:16:11,559 All Star Game, not though, what have you done over the past ten 225 00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:15,720 years and will factor all that stuff into All Star Game. It's about what 226 00:16:15,879 --> 00:16:22,279 is happening currently in this season. That's what should matter. Same with the 227 00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:26,440 MVP. It shouldn't be about Kawhi missing games in his past when he's only 228 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,440 missed four so far this season. So put him in the conversation until he's 229 00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:34,200 missing enough games to not be in it. With the numbers he's putting up 230 00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:38,320 last twenty six games, fifty seven percent from the field, forty nine percent 231 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,799 from the outside, we're talking about not just one of the best runs this 232 00:16:41,879 --> 00:16:47,759 season efficiency wise, And that's what baffles me. We're in an era of 233 00:16:47,799 --> 00:16:52,039 advanced stats, analytics in all these things. I mean, Marcas saw the 234 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,799 reason he won the Defensive Player of the Year back in twenty thirteen was because 235 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,559 of defensive ratings stuff. The advanced analytics what gave it to him. We're 236 00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:06,599 in twenty twenty four, and we're not looking at that stuff for Kawhi Leonard's 237 00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:11,920 night. Yeah, a team that's ten points worse defensively when he's not on 238 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,759 the floor. That stuff needs to be factored in. It needs to matter, 239 00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:18,039 and I just get annoyed with stuff, you know, when it's based 240 00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:22,640 off merrit. You know, it wouldn't matter to me if Kawhi Leonard and 241 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,200 he was always one of my favorite players before he became a Clipper. But 242 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:33,359 these type of slights and snubs always get me going when it is this obvious 243 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,640 and staring you in the face. A top seventy five player ever playing this 244 00:17:37,839 --> 00:17:41,000 well. Is it because he's been beat down so much by the negative press 245 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,880 and the media and the guys like Steven A. Smith saying he should retire 246 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,319 and that has had an effect on voters, on fans, on other players 247 00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:53,680 even because that's gross. If that's the case, I don't think it's players. 248 00:17:53,799 --> 00:17:57,960 I think fans one hundred percent. I think players know that Kawhi is 249 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,039 the man. I think, but the media, You're totally right. I 250 00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:06,160 think that narrative is brutal for Kawhi and there's gonna be you know, like 251 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,440 five years, whenever Kawi retires, there's gonna be so many monchages of like, 252 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,039 can you believe this is howe they used to talk about Kawhi And it's 253 00:18:12,079 --> 00:18:15,359 gonna be clips of that mash together and everyone's gonna go, wow, we 254 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,440 were really stupid back well, in the same way like what Will was talking 255 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,599 about. In fifty years from now, you'll look back on this season who 256 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,680 were the best players and you'll probably gauge it off of things like All Star 257 00:18:27,799 --> 00:18:33,200 where they ended up in MVP voting, Just like how people say, well, 258 00:18:33,559 --> 00:18:36,680 you know Kevin Durant right now, can't beat the narrative of yes, 259 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,400 he won a championship and he won two of them, but they came with 260 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,559 the Golden State Warriors, and they won seventy three games before he came there. 261 00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:47,599 They won before him. But over time that'll get lost in history and 262 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,240 it'll just show that he was a champion and that's all that's gonna matter. 263 00:18:51,279 --> 00:18:55,599 Fifty years from now, they're giving the other side of that for those Kevin 264 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,359 Durant the Kevin Durant Finals win. So he's not gonna be a live one 265 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,119 hundred years now to have a burner on Twitter or maybe a burner bought live 266 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,480 forever. He might be alive one hundred years. It's going Ted Williams, 267 00:19:07,559 --> 00:19:15,200 some of these advancements technologies. He's going to try to be nineteen again. 268 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,640 I just don't want this Kawhi season to get lost on people because it seems 269 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:26,519 like it's crazy. Well, Kawhi has become underrated in a year like this, 270 00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:30,640 Well you know what won't. I mean, he's poised for another season, 271 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:36,319 like another run like he had in Toronto. I mean finals MVP, 272 00:19:37,279 --> 00:19:41,200 a third finals MVP. I mean, that's got to put Kawhi somewhere in 273 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,680 the conversation of all time, of course, and that's the biggest thing. 274 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:52,079 It would just be like him and Lebron as lead guys winning a championship with 275 00:19:52,079 --> 00:19:55,039 three different teams at that point, you know, being at their peak and 276 00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:57,119 being the number one options on their team, pulling off something like that. 277 00:19:57,519 --> 00:20:02,119 But I just want to make make sure, you know, we get ahead 278 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,799 of this now and make sure he's getting enough attention now for what he's been 279 00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:11,279 doing with this Clippers team and it's not getting lost in the shuffle of an 280 00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:15,799 a two game season that Kawhi Leonard maybe is the best player in the world 281 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,599 right now, and he's not even top ten in MVP voting or top ten 282 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,519 and uh at least when it comes to UH betting lines. Well, the 283 00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:27,119 Bowl is coming out, right, I am he has to be top ten. 284 00:20:27,799 --> 00:20:30,960 I hope he's top ten. Should we have him on to plead his 285 00:20:30,039 --> 00:20:34,279 case? Yeah? Do you think he come on the pod? Yeah? 286 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:41,720 Blink twice if you feel like you're being overlooked here. Cool. But that 287 00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:45,119 is the best part. He doesn't care. He wants the Larry Ob he 288 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,200 wants the finals MVP. Maybe he still wouldn't care. He just wants to 289 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,119 win the damn championship. But I think it's okay for us to stick up 290 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,759 for him and bring some positive attention towards the Clippers and just how well he's 291 00:20:55,759 --> 00:21:00,559 playing. Absolutely coming up, we're going to talk the rest of the Grammy 292 00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:03,200 trip. I'm wondering we're gonna talk to Brandon Boston Junior thing over bones thing 293 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,559 too, because that was interesting. In The Wizard's Game, the ads have 294 00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:10,000 been lowed for some people who listen to this on audio. If you're watching 295 00:21:10,039 --> 00:21:12,880 on video, you probably get one very weird ad in the beginning for something 296 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:18,000 that we don't know what it is for rest of the Grammy trip outlook coming 297 00:21:18,079 --> 00:21:22,839 up, and then maybe Lebron getting traded to talk because why not? Ads 298 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,039 in three two one, All right, we're back in with Clips and Dip. 299 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,960 We're gonna talk about the rest of the Grammy trip. Clippers got an 300 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,920 easy one coming up on Friday and then taking on the Heat and the Hawks, 301 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,079 so let's get into it. Where do you guys want to start with 302 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,920 this Piston smashup? I think we should start with the question is what will 303 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:51,519 you do if the Clippers lose of the Pistons? Ooh, I mean I 304 00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:59,200 guess dry January is over, so you think just get waste? I'm my 305 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,519 time one on, just tie one on. I don't know, I know 306 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,359 this sounds. I mean, it depends on how it happens. If they 307 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,759 just gave up and like decided to and like played and just like with pissy 308 00:22:10,759 --> 00:22:14,839 attitudes or something, I'd be upset. But if the Piston shoot like sixty 309 00:22:14,839 --> 00:22:17,039 five percent from three, I'd be like, oh, pretty cool. I 310 00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:22,160 guess from the Piston they were due. They got up for the ball game. 311 00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:26,640 If there's one team, let's due for a big win. Recently, 312 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,680 it can't happen. Oh yeah, and this league it can definitely happen. 313 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,119 I don't think it will, but probably no. Paul George is what we 314 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:42,160 were, what we all hope for. It depends. I'm hoping for it. 315 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,319 I'm just I don't care. I don't care if he's healthy. Just 316 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,839 sent him this one. We don't need it all the way. A mere 317 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:53,119 coffee started in his place and was fantastic. Right, Mirror's a godsend. 318 00:22:53,839 --> 00:22:59,880 Thank goodness. He got back into the rotation and is being appreciated for the 319 00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:03,839 all round player he is and is I saw this earlier. Do you guys 320 00:23:03,839 --> 00:23:07,279 see these numbers where he shot the best of any wing? I think in 321 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,039 January or something like that. I haven't seen the latest numbers. Do you 322 00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:15,319 fax me those? Send me the numbers, dude, I should have been 323 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:21,359 like desk hours. You gotta fact those to me, dud. Well, 324 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:30,640 probably I'm finding out about the numbers mid pot. I'll try. I'll try 325 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,119 to find him here during the during the show. But he has been incredible. 326 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,480 He's been so efficient and had seventeen points against Washington and looked great. 327 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:44,720 What was he sev from the floor? Uh in January or something like from 328 00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:49,440 three or something like that, Like it's absolutely insane and yeah, I got 329 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,960 it. Go ahead. A mere coffee is averaging one point four eight points 330 00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,559 per shot attempt this season. That ranks first for all wings in the NBA. 331 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,640 He's shooting eighty five percent at the rim, sixty five percent in the 332 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,960 mid range, forty four percent from three, Emir has an and one percentage 333 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,640 of thirty eight point five percent. That's eleventh of all wings. So the 334 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,359 efficiency is just off the charts. It's not just January, all wings. 335 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,759 He's at one point four eight points per shot out temp this season. Now, 336 00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:22,599 he doesn't take nearly as many as you know, most of those guys 337 00:24:22,599 --> 00:24:26,160 that are gonna be in that conversation, but still it's impressive. He takes 338 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:33,119 enough that it's a very it's a huge help to the Clippers holistic championship expectations. 339 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,279 Yeah, I mean, like, don't kid yourself. I mean, 340 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,599 this is a guy who could have an impactful playoffs run, you know. 341 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,119 I mean he's a guy who when things aren't going right can can turn things 342 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,799 around. And he's you know, solid on both ends of the floor. 343 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,240 The way he's improved is a scorer this season. Like, I mean, 344 00:24:52,599 --> 00:24:56,079 I think all of us have always had kind of high hopes for for Coffee, 345 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,519 as you know, he's been around the team so long. But I 346 00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:03,039 and really know that it would be like this, like especially this quickly, 347 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,400 at how fast he's had to step up and where this you know, where 348 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,640 this team is headed in the expectations, and I think he's surpassed every single 349 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,720 one. So yeah, man, can't say enough good things about Coffee. 350 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,839 So he yeah, started against the Pistons. Let's get him some more run, 351 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,799 keep spill met him going. And also Isaiah Stewart's out for the Pistons. 352 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,440 I don't know what they do with their lineups over there Pistons Twitter, 353 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,839 and they're doing okay, but like they don't know what's happening with the lineups. 354 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,759 So I don't know. Man, Let's have another mirror game, Like, 355 00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:38,480 let's not get crazy with this one. Who need to overthink this. 356 00:25:38,559 --> 00:25:44,240 Let's just sit peg. Yeah, and let's play good defense and let's hope 357 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:49,000 we can get Kawhi another fourth quarter break. Do we expect to see Brandon 358 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:55,240 Boston Junior got time over bones in the Wizard's game? Are we reading the 359 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,359 Tea Leaves on this, So is this something? Is this nothing? It's 360 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,119 absolutely something. But a lot of people on Twitter were like, Oh, 361 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,200 they're showing off Brandon Boston Junior's trade value, and I'm like, that is 362 00:26:04,559 --> 00:26:08,559 the complete opposite of how I took this. Yeah, this is a very 363 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:14,039 line in the sand that Bones Island doesn't. I think that Bones Highland doesn't 364 00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:18,559 seem to be in the future plans for the Clippers. Well, he got 365 00:26:18,839 --> 00:26:23,440 he got in when they went super small, and if they had Bones Highland 366 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,440 out there instead of him, they would have been ant man, it would 367 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:32,519 have been not insane. But it was a plus two. Yeah, by 368 00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:36,759 my gauge, they went plus two during that stretch. It worked and Brandon 369 00:26:36,759 --> 00:26:38,880 Boston in a really good game, his best game of the season. I 370 00:26:40,319 --> 00:26:42,640 said on the last show that, yeah, I have concerns at this point, 371 00:26:42,759 --> 00:26:45,599 you know, whether or not Bones is going to be on the team 372 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,039 after the trade deadline, just because he can't crack the rotation unless it's garbage 373 00:26:48,079 --> 00:26:52,279 time right now. But it's something we knew. If anyone was gonna take 374 00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:55,440 the biggest hit bringing in James Harden, it was likely going to be Bones 375 00:26:55,519 --> 00:26:59,960 Highland. And then especially after the fact with Norm being on this crazy efficient 376 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,279 season himself this year with the Clippers, so he's not giving up any minutes 377 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:10,000 and it doesn't look like availability like Truan. That's been a great that's been 378 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,440 a great story for Norm too, because it's been you know, he hasn't 379 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:17,960 been available that often with his in his tenure for the Clippers. Can I 380 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,720 ask you guys a trade question related to these guys to a little bit and 381 00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:23,640 just the trade deadline that people have been hitting me up with on Twitter? 382 00:27:25,039 --> 00:27:26,319 Yeah, I mean we're only like it, We're only a week away. 383 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:32,359 Yeah, I don't like it now. There were no specifics, it was 384 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,960 just in general. They're saying that, you know, a mere coffee looks 385 00:27:36,039 --> 00:27:41,400 this good. Has Terrence Man become a trade ship now? Because he can 386 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,960 feel a lot of what a mere coffee can fill a lot of what Terrence 387 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,400 Man does. That's what people That's what people are telling me, my ass, 388 00:27:48,519 --> 00:27:51,440 Terrence Man is a trade ship. He's our start. He's in the 389 00:27:51,599 --> 00:27:56,720 start. We're not gonna do a starting lineup change. What if I don't 390 00:27:56,759 --> 00:27:59,960 if we wouldn't give it, if we wouldn't give him up for James Harden, 391 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,400 Like, what what's the trade? I don't know who that guy would 392 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,880 be. Again, they didn't give any specifics, but to get that other 393 00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:11,880 wing, to get that four or five guy that everybody thinks the Clippers. 394 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,359 If there's one thing they're missing, it's that. I don't know because what 395 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:21,279 doesn't make that much money is the other thing, like salary wise, you're 396 00:28:21,319 --> 00:28:25,119 gonna have to get something else going there. There was something said, thing 397 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,119 you can do a weird like there could be a weird deal out there for 398 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,880 a twelve year old guy. Was it right At the beginning of the season, 399 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,440 somebody asked about contract negotiations and he said, like, no, that's 400 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,279 dead, that's dead right now, or something to that effect. Yeah, 401 00:28:37,279 --> 00:28:44,559 I think so so like I would, there's not nothing there. I'm not 402 00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:48,680 gonna say it's crazy they're playing I know. I don't want to see it 403 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,279 happen. I love Terrence Man, you that, and I love a mere 404 00:28:52,319 --> 00:28:57,119 coffee too, But I don't necessarily think that he's gonna play like this the 405 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:02,400 rest of the season, like to like like he's played great. We know 406 00:29:02,519 --> 00:29:04,920 that, but again, we haven't seen him in a bigger role. I'm 407 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,799 assuming if we ship Terrence out of mirror, get more minutes? Like, 408 00:29:08,039 --> 00:29:12,599 are we forgetting about Terrence Parrin's playoff experience too? Yeah? Are we forgetting 409 00:29:12,599 --> 00:29:17,480 about the last time this team had a deep playoffs run and off? Dude, 410 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,559 I just I don't understand what we're doing here, Like, I mean, 411 00:29:19,599 --> 00:29:22,359 if we weren't giving up Terrence for James Harden, what player are we 412 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,400 giving him on for? And even still, you got to get another contract 413 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,519 in there. You gotta get Norm in there and PJ. I mean to 414 00:29:29,559 --> 00:29:33,039 get somebody like of a higher CALIBERT level. I don't think you're flipping Terrence 415 00:29:33,319 --> 00:29:37,880 and PJ for someone in like the twenty four range, Like, I don't. 416 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,799 I just don't see it. And it's a new guy. We got 417 00:29:40,839 --> 00:29:45,960 a new guy to work into the lineup. He hasn't even gotten facts the 418 00:29:45,079 --> 00:29:49,880 numbers. Fuck. If the idea is to trade him for a bigger guy 419 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,799 or wing that can play some five small ball five plus play the four, 420 00:29:56,359 --> 00:29:59,039 I don't think we need. We're losing a wing with Terrence man and a 421 00:29:59,119 --> 00:30:03,680 guy who can go one through four and sometimes a center. So it may 422 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,519 be a lateral move at best. You know, I'm not saying I agree 423 00:30:07,519 --> 00:30:10,079 with it. But a few people have brought this up to me on X 424 00:30:11,119 --> 00:30:15,279 on X Well, that app's going to hell. This is the worst thing 425 00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:19,920 I've seen on Twitter, I've heard of on Twitter. Terrence was right, 426 00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:26,440 He's not wrong, man, all right. So then the Clippers after the 427 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,480 Pistons game, which say what you think is gonna happen on three win or 428 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:37,240 loss? One two? Three win? Right? Great? I lou coaching 429 00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:40,359 masterclass that I'd be okay with a tie because I'd be like, whenever it's 430 00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:44,000 in, like the twelfth overtime, they have to call it. We play 431 00:30:44,039 --> 00:30:47,680 the Heat. Then this is where the size issue gets put on display for 432 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,440 the Clippers. We were just talking. Maybe Terrence been getting traded for a 433 00:30:49,559 --> 00:30:55,200 larger size. The Heat are a big ass team, Adam, What are 434 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,480 you looking for from the Clippers defensively in this one? Because they can't start 435 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,440 like they did against the Wizards. I need more from Mason Plumbley and Daniel 436 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,359 Tice. They weren't great against the Wizards. Plumbly put up, I thought 437 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,880 in the third quarter he was really good. He had a couple of offensive 438 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,279 rebounds. But I think part of the reason they s tried to go small 439 00:31:12,319 --> 00:31:17,799 in that second quarter and it did work. Is because neither of them looked 440 00:31:17,839 --> 00:31:21,720 great early on, and we've seen that a few different times against the Cavaliers, 441 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,240 against the Lakers too. Nobody can replace Big Zoo. That's how it 442 00:31:26,279 --> 00:31:30,440 works. He's that vital to this team. I think he's the fourth most 443 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:36,079 important player on this Clipper squad at worst. So I think both of them 444 00:31:36,119 --> 00:31:38,240 are gonna have to be better. Obviously against BAM, I think they will 445 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:44,839 be. They've had They're doing their part, they're doing trying, They're putting 446 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,319 some good effort in there, like yeah, I'm not gonna act like they 447 00:31:48,319 --> 00:31:51,799 aren't carrying their weight or something like that. For what has been asked of 448 00:31:51,839 --> 00:31:56,039 them this season, they have certainly overperformed, especially Daniel Tye. We haven't 449 00:31:56,079 --> 00:31:59,920 seen much Mason Plumbley yet and he is a guy just coming back from injuries, 450 00:32:00,039 --> 00:32:02,640 so maybe reps, timing, rhythm. It's still getting gonna get better 451 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:07,000 for him. But we saw the Clippers being able to take down the Miami 452 00:32:07,039 --> 00:32:10,079 Heat one twenty one to one oh four Crypto, and they played really well 453 00:32:10,119 --> 00:32:15,519 in that ball game. Paul George was available, they had their normal starting 454 00:32:15,559 --> 00:32:20,839 five with two on three Zoo Botch, James Harden and Terrence man Uh. 455 00:32:20,839 --> 00:32:24,960 Did Miami have a full squad in that game? They did not have Jimmy 456 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:30,319 Butler did not go in that That's what it was. It was Heimi Hawk 457 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,400 as junior. He had fifteen, Bam had twenty one. It was that 458 00:32:34,559 --> 00:32:38,599 was the game where Kawhi dunked on Bam went baseline on him. Uh and 459 00:32:38,599 --> 00:32:43,400 he had a one on one in the corner. So the Clippers have had 460 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,039 success against them, But yeah, how much can you extrapolate from that one 461 00:32:47,079 --> 00:32:52,160 game when they don't have Jimmy Butler and now they have scary Terry Rozier two. 462 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,200 Yeah, and they've been in not playing well. I look at like 463 00:32:55,279 --> 00:32:59,519 they have lost a lot of games over they've lost. They got smacked by 464 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,559 time when they got super smacked by the Knicks. They lost seven of eight 465 00:33:04,079 --> 00:33:07,559 they lost. They lost by like thirty three to the Celtics. Damn, 466 00:33:07,759 --> 00:33:12,680 couldn't be us. They're gonna be desperate. Really, they're gonna be desperate. 467 00:33:12,759 --> 00:33:15,519 They don't score a lot, they're the third lowest scoring team in the 468 00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:20,160 league, but they do try and kind of hang their hat on defense. 469 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,799 This is gonna be a gross game. I think like the heater gonna try 470 00:33:24,839 --> 00:33:30,880 and make it gross for the Clippers, and I hope the PG if he 471 00:33:30,039 --> 00:33:32,359 I hope he plays on this one. If he maybe, if he takes 472 00:33:32,359 --> 00:33:38,960 off the Detroit game. Yeah, Miami's twenty ninth in pace. Clippers are 473 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:45,000 twenty fifth, so they're gonna look like speed demons compared to us in Miami. 474 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:51,240 Yeah, it's gonna be an interesting one. TBD on what the point 475 00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:54,000 of attack defense looks like to start this one. Hope Paul George starts hot 476 00:33:54,039 --> 00:33:58,400 early if he gets his time, and then if he plays in this first 477 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,039 one. I'm not sure how I'd feel about him playing against the Hawks too, 478 00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:06,039 because it is a back to back mm hmm. And the Hawks, 479 00:34:06,039 --> 00:34:08,320 we're getting them at the end of a three and four, which is kind 480 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,000 of nice for the Clippers, so the Hawks will be a little bit tired. 481 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,000 They get a bunch of offensive rebounds, which worries me a little bit 482 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:21,760 considering are but they also missed ship. They play zero defense though, yeah, 483 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,400 they do not play any defense. Like I just you know, if 484 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:28,719 we if we set the pressure early. I mean, they're a high scoring 485 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,960 team, but I mean it's you know, like it's a it's a game 486 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,679 of possessions. You're you're gonna be able to get most of what you want 487 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,480 on the offensive end. It's it's just about you know, it's just about 488 00:34:38,519 --> 00:34:43,159 you controlling the pace against Against the Hawks and and the Clippers, I feel 489 00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:45,480 like have gotten really good at sort of at managing that. I think they 490 00:34:45,519 --> 00:34:49,400 throw teams off of their rhythm. I thought that they did that really effectively 491 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,360 against Boston. But yeah, like it's I don't know, again, I 492 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,920 don't want a Pensilana win or anything, but like that. They don't play 493 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,599 any defense over there in Atlanta. So unless the Clip have like a terrible 494 00:35:01,039 --> 00:35:06,760 I have a terrible shooting night combined with you know, slow legs on the 495 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,920 second night of a back to back, I would hope that they that they 496 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,039 go to and oh on that back to back. I like that. I 497 00:35:13,119 --> 00:35:17,599 like the optimism. Yeah, and they historically played pretty well on the second 498 00:35:17,679 --> 00:35:22,800 night of back to back. Yeah. This season, Trey Young got snub 499 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,159 for the All Stars, which is something that worries me a little bit. 500 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,719 He might be on a bit of a chip on his shoulder situation, but 501 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,119 things are also like tumultuous in Atlanta. It feels like it feels like no 502 00:35:30,159 --> 00:35:36,559 one's happy John could be traded. There could be Yeah, Like it's kind 503 00:35:36,559 --> 00:35:38,719 of weird, And I wonder how that affects uh to John te because he 504 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:43,280 has killed the Clippers before. When he was on the Spurs, he had 505 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,280 a couple of games against the Clippers where it was just like, oh shit, 506 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,800 okay, we cannot stop Jog Murray. Yeah, one game at home 507 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,480 that was Phenomenoneah. So I like the idea of control in the pace. 508 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:58,840 Will's right. I mean they're twenty seventh defensively. I believe they're h We'll 509 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,519 get the scores in their game. It's like one thirty eight, Like it's 510 00:36:01,679 --> 00:36:07,159 it's insane. It's insanity. I watched the Lakers game head them the other 511 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,920 night where the Lakers lost again, but there was zero defense being played. 512 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,760 They just wanted to roll the ball out there and say, Okay, let's 513 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,480 see you can outscore the other team. We're gonna play a little bit faster. 514 00:36:16,519 --> 00:36:20,480 We're a little bit more connected. Outside of Clint Capella, he can 515 00:36:20,519 --> 00:36:22,840 block some shots when he's in there, and obviously is a rim runner two. 516 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:27,679 But they shouldn't scare anyone it's just the second night of a back to 517 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,320 back and the three and four that scares you. It's just, you know, 518 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,400 a little bit of a fatigue that may come into play for the Clippers. 519 00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:36,440 Yeah, that's a good call. How what do you think, in 520 00:36:36,519 --> 00:36:39,000 record wise, if they go two and one, they get to the five 521 00:36:39,039 --> 00:36:43,119 and two record that will and I picked the team went for six and one. 522 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,880 I think Adam went for one and six, which I thought was really 523 00:36:45,159 --> 00:36:49,719 really pessimistic. Four and three, but it's not looking good for me. 524 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,480 Boys, I'll be happy to be wrong about this one. I think two 525 00:36:52,559 --> 00:36:55,079 and one over this stretch. I'm completely happy with two and one over the 526 00:36:55,119 --> 00:36:59,960 stretch. I think we all know which game we maybe would prefer to lose 527 00:37:00,039 --> 00:37:04,440 if you have to lose one of these three pistons. I mean, I 528 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,400 guess I can't imagine what they do to the Heat if they lost the Pistons. 529 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:13,119 Yeah, I'm feeling two in one. I agree two and one sounds 530 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,920 reasonable. And then you get your five and two road trip, and we'll 531 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,920 see where the Chips land afterwards. They might be in the top three seed 532 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,400 like they are right now coming out of this Grammy road trip, which would 533 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:28,119 be very successful, I would say overall. Also, when are the damn 534 00:37:28,159 --> 00:37:30,159 Grammys? Why is the strip so long? Will and I were talking about 535 00:37:30,159 --> 00:37:32,599 that the other day. Yeah, I don't get like, what's the lot 536 00:37:32,599 --> 00:37:36,320 of prep time? Will? You're saying two and one, you're saying three 537 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,719 and now three. No, let's go for it. Who's your player of 538 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:45,480 these who's your player of these three games? One player for three games? 539 00:37:45,559 --> 00:37:51,400 And you can't pick Kawhi. No, you can't pick and I can't pick 540 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,280 Kawi Yes, setting precedent, So you get the guy that you want. 541 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,440 No one can pick, Like, don't pick Paul George or something like that. 542 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:07,800 Say Paul George, All right, I'm gonna go then with Norman Powell. 543 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:14,960 Oh love it. I like that. Man. Ready for I'm ready 544 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,519 for some big games for James. You want James Harden? I mean he 545 00:38:17,519 --> 00:38:21,599 played well again, played great against the Wizards. Yeah, but I mean 546 00:38:21,639 --> 00:38:24,800 I want him to go on one more? Dude, always always raising the 547 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:29,719 standards of the Clippers, that's championship stuff. You want me to lower them? 548 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:34,800 No, I don't get the f out of here. Yeah, I 549 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:39,800 bet them minus thirty nine and a half. Dude, I'm screwed here I'm 550 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:45,760 gonna go. I'm gonna go Terrence Man. Terrence Man is gonna show people 551 00:38:45,039 --> 00:38:52,559 why he shouldn't be even considered in any kind of trade talks. We're gonna 552 00:38:52,599 --> 00:38:57,119 need him against the Heat with size and guarding multiple positions and things like that. 553 00:38:57,119 --> 00:39:00,320 We're gonna need against the Hawks for size and multiple was going multiple positions 554 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:05,039 and stuff like that. His cutting has been great. Nicaias on the Dunker 555 00:39:05,079 --> 00:39:08,559 Spot was talking about how good Terrence Man's cutting can be when Kawi gets double 556 00:39:08,559 --> 00:39:12,039 teams and things like that. So I think I want to see some more 557 00:39:12,079 --> 00:39:15,000 good cuts from him, Like, yeah, I think the Kawhi pick is 558 00:39:15,039 --> 00:39:19,360 gonna go hand in hand with Terrence Man probably also being player of the game 559 00:39:19,599 --> 00:39:22,039 for three games in a row. Yeah, but I got the King of 560 00:39:22,079 --> 00:39:25,199 the fourth boys. That's very true. That is very true. That. 561 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:34,960 Yeah, hopefully that's not the case in Detroit. We're gonna be talking. 562 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,559 A bunch of random stuff happened on NBA Twitter, including something from Dave Pingalore, 563 00:39:38,599 --> 00:39:45,880 who is a Clippers sideline reporter. Sometimes when things on KTLA and Avid 564 00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:51,320 always right when it comes to LA Sports rumors guy. And then we're gonna 565 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,559 talk to sixty five game Rule and Patrick Patterson had something cool happened to him. 566 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,800 Ads are coming up for those of you who are listening. They've been 567 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,800 loud for some people. If that's been the case, you go ahead and 568 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,840 turn it down. Adds coming up in three two one. Welcome back in. 569 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,480 It's clips and Dip. I'm out of Moslin. We got Chef Mockler 570 00:40:05,519 --> 00:40:10,199 and Will Updike here. It's season two, episode forty eight. Appreciate all 571 00:40:10,199 --> 00:40:15,239 the new listeners and subscribers. We love you, guys, we really do. 572 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,159 And that's why we talked to you in the comment section sometimes two on 573 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:22,559 YouTube. But this, uh, we got a comment on this. I 574 00:40:22,599 --> 00:40:25,280 didn't see this. I didn't know about this. I'm aware of it because 575 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:31,000 of the rundown. Chuck Lebron may get traded and this store is being broke 576 00:40:31,039 --> 00:40:36,960 by David Pinglore of KTLA five. Yes, so David Pingalore for those of 577 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,480 you who are not in the no wink wink. For those guys remember that 578 00:40:39,599 --> 00:40:46,800 classic Twitter situation. Dave Pingalore is a reporter for KTLA. He broke, 579 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:51,280 He's broke. He's been sourced on a bunch of things that have happened in 580 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,079 the NBA, specifically with California teams. He called Kawhi coming to the Clippers. 581 00:40:55,119 --> 00:41:00,000 He talked about his sources when Lebron was gonna go to the Lake, 582 00:41:00,559 --> 00:41:05,199 and like it's kind of insane. He tweeted, just out of nowhere, 583 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,960 hearing from NBA peeps, King James is the top of the Lakers list to 584 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,039 trade the thirty nine year old Polinka is looking for the right team to dance 585 00:41:13,079 --> 00:41:15,920 with and is close to a suitor. Lbj and eighty both out tonight and 586 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:20,920 everyone was kind of like laughing at this guy and things like that. But 587 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,679 then you find his old tweets and in twenty eighteen, he tweets things, 588 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:30,480 you know, like that Lebron's gonna pay the Lakers back, putting him in 589 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,400 a position to join the team. Like he's just been right about a bunch 590 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:37,840 of stuff people found. So are you anticipating a Terrence Man involved trade for 591 00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:43,239 Lebron James to the LA Clippers. Let's open the floor for discussion. Not 592 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,559 giving up Terrence Man for a nine year old. I don't think this happens. 593 00:41:46,599 --> 00:41:52,400 There's no way I think that this happened. Terrence Man for Lebron. 594 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:58,280 Yeah, Ron Lebron getting traded. There's no way that happened. The only 595 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,800 way I could see it happening was, well, how did you interpret his 596 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:07,440 little cryptic tweet with the hour glass and the salt times running out on the 597 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,559 season. I got so much other shit going on, I got a lot, 598 00:42:10,639 --> 00:42:15,079 man. Well, the only way I could see it happening based upon 599 00:42:15,159 --> 00:42:19,760 how the Lakers have handled themselves with Genie Buss. Now. They always preach 600 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,719 we're going to take care of our superstars, and that is part of the 601 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,760 allure of being a Laker. We take care of you. On the back 602 00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:30,280 end, Kobe had torn his achilles, they still give him that huge contract 603 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:38,079 afterwards. They're going to make sure that you feel like you're a Laker for 604 00:42:38,159 --> 00:42:44,480 life and all these things. For them to trade a player who might be 605 00:42:44,519 --> 00:42:47,119 the greatest player of all time, to trade that guy the hutspa, it 606 00:42:47,159 --> 00:42:52,079 would take to do that unless he agreed to it and was all for it, 607 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:57,599 and you know, mutual agreement from all parties involved, and it's the 608 00:42:57,639 --> 00:43:00,559 best for everyone right now. But even and that seems very unlikely. It 609 00:43:00,599 --> 00:43:06,239 seemed very unlikely. Yeah, I don't see this happening. Jeff Van Gundy 610 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:07,920 said, like on ABC a couple of years ago. I remember, I 611 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:13,519 think this was Lebron's second year, so right before the Bubble and then going 612 00:43:13,519 --> 00:43:16,840 on to win the Bubble Championship in Orlando, he said they should have traded 613 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:21,719 him. Then I think he had some hot take during a game on ABC. 614 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,199 I think they should trade Lebron. So he's not the first guy to 615 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:29,480 say something like this, but do you have the stones, Like what's the 616 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:34,559 line in the how do you shoot the devil in the back from usual suspects? 617 00:43:35,039 --> 00:43:37,639 Not that Lebron is the devil or anything like that, but just come 618 00:43:37,679 --> 00:43:40,719 on, like, this would be such a big move, don't I don't 619 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:46,239 see it happen. Yeah, And I just like, I mean, financially, 620 00:43:46,559 --> 00:43:52,320 like, what draw do you have at that point to Lakers games that 621 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,320 you're like, you know, you're already paying a premium for I don't. 622 00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:00,800 It's like, I just don't see it. And and the team that would 623 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:06,920 be trading for him might have to have enough draft picks to say, hey, 624 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,199 we're gonna get Bronnie, and that's why you want to be here. 625 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:15,679 But the only team that could have that assurance would be the OKAC Thunder the 626 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,559 only team that could say, if we want Ronnie, we can somehow get 627 00:44:19,639 --> 00:44:25,199 Bronnie. I just even if Lebron was like, Okay, you're getting draft 628 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:29,639 picks and young players. I'm doing the Lakers a solid while you guys, 629 00:44:30,159 --> 00:44:32,760 you know the quid pro quo, you're helping me out to lad my career 630 00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:37,519 to still have a chance to win a ring. But I mean, we've 631 00:44:37,559 --> 00:44:39,880 just never seen anything like that before with the Lakers, where they're sending out 632 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:47,119 a guy so he has a chance to go win somewhere else. They're supposed 633 00:44:47,159 --> 00:44:51,280 to be the team that brings in that guy. That's the franchise, the 634 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,199 destination, like everybody else is a farm system for the Lakers or something. 635 00:44:54,480 --> 00:45:00,039 Adam's getting worked up, Adam's taking the gun out. Let's talk to sixty 636 00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:02,679 five game rule. We were just talking Kawhi how he's played in a bunch 637 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:07,119 of games, which has been good. A lot of people are saying for 638 00:45:07,159 --> 00:45:09,199 the MVP award, it makes sense. I'm kind of on their side. 639 00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:15,239 I think like every MVP has played over the percentage that sixty five of seventy 640 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:19,079 two, except for EMBD last year. I think because it's it's you can 641 00:45:19,119 --> 00:45:22,480 miss twenty percent of the season essentially, and yeah, you know, like 642 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,079 when I first was thinking about it, like sixty five games, I was 643 00:45:25,119 --> 00:45:27,920 like, oh, that seems like kind of a lot. But when you 644 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,960 think of it in terms of a percentage, like you can miss twenty percent 645 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:35,400 of the season and it's for MVP, Like yeah, I mean, if 646 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,159 you're only playing seventy five percent of the season, are you the most valuable 647 00:45:39,159 --> 00:45:42,880 player? Like? Can you be the most valuable player? I don't know 648 00:45:43,039 --> 00:45:46,360 where it gets messy is the All NBA stuff. That's what some guys have 649 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:51,159 been talking to totally, is with the all Like Tyrese Haliburton mentioned it, 650 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,400 like it maybe rushed him back for All NBA stuff because that's tied to your 651 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:59,719 contract so much. For that game that that game that he sustained an injury 652 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,639 in he technically played for less than twenty minutes, so it doesn't count as 653 00:46:02,639 --> 00:46:06,880 one of his games. He's gonna miss out on a bunch of money because 654 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,199 of this, like, because of this rule. But the thing is, 655 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:14,760 though, I mean they negotiated this, Yeah, right, that's what Players 656 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:20,079 Union did agree to this, which is nuts. I don't think every player 657 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,079 was asked individually in the NBA of how they felt about it. But yeah, 658 00:46:23,159 --> 00:46:27,679 they have representatives voted, yeah, I mean, yeah, gotta read 659 00:46:27,679 --> 00:46:32,199 your union stuff. It is interesting to see. However, I like the 660 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:37,920 idea of the NBA NBA dangling carrot to make sure guys play more. But 661 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:43,480 when dudes are legitimately injured, like we just saw what Joel embiid As mentioned 662 00:46:43,519 --> 00:46:46,639 earlier, and then he plays through it and it sounds like it's unrelated to 663 00:46:46,679 --> 00:46:51,760 what he was dealing with. Maybe, but still if you know, if 664 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,320 he's not out there, that doesn't happen. Uh, It's just it's just 665 00:46:55,440 --> 00:47:01,199 unfortunate. And I would I would like to believe that the voters could just 666 00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:05,840 have the context to say, oh, this guy has missed this many games, 667 00:47:06,199 --> 00:47:08,000 so I'm not going to vote for him, instead of the NBA having 668 00:47:08,039 --> 00:47:12,119 to step in and saying no, they're ineligible. That would be nice. 669 00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,719 But from when we've gone over with the media being influenced when it comes to 670 00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:21,199 Kawhi Leonard, maybe they do need a little more direction in PARTI of who 671 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,199 they should be voting for. I don't know they need a ballot that just 672 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:30,320 has Kawhi Leonard five times on it for the he's been that good. It 673 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:35,800 is funny to see all of these large media outlets talking about how they are 674 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,760 on the side of the athletes who need the rest. Now now they're on 675 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:46,440 the side of it. It is funny, full circle. Interesting. H 676 00:47:47,559 --> 00:47:52,000 hope they're all doing well. It's annoying. That's rough as a Clippers fan 677 00:47:52,039 --> 00:47:53,960 to see that all of a sudden. That's what frustrates me the most about. 678 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:58,239 I'm just like, great, Okay, just shitch, we all agree. 679 00:47:58,559 --> 00:48:02,840 Yeah, now we're all on board as like a torn acl all right. 680 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:07,719 Closing this one out, very important news. Patrick Patterson, former Clipper 681 00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,760 great, a former member of the Best Friends Club, which was Reggie Jackson, 682 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:15,199 Patrick Patterson and Paul George on the Clippers, got his jersey retired by 683 00:48:15,199 --> 00:48:21,440 his high school recently pretty sick, which had me wondering, what, Adam 684 00:48:21,599 --> 00:48:24,119 will myself, Adam, if they had to retire your jersey at your high 685 00:48:24,119 --> 00:48:28,519 school, what would your jersey have been retired for? Patrick Patterson's obviously for 686 00:48:28,559 --> 00:48:30,880 basketball? What would jers have been? What would you have been retired for? 687 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:37,920 Uh? Would shop? No? Being a good Christian at the East 688 00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:45,880 Group. That's probably the toughest one way. What I mean, I want 689 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:52,400 that thing touch and you can just tape it. It's on the cross over 690 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,280 the cross due. That's the hardest one to get. Bro. That seems 691 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,599 like, yeah, Will, what are they retired? What are they retiring 692 00:48:57,599 --> 00:49:00,639 your jersey for it? Cole Strip High School? I don't know. Being 693 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:05,079 late, that's fair Hellgate High School? Woud again in me? Probably being 694 00:49:05,119 --> 00:49:09,440 early? I needed that parking time. Casual has spoken. Yeah, all 695 00:49:09,559 --> 00:49:12,760 right, that's that's a good time. This was a great time. The 696 00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,239 Clippers are playing so well, what a fun time to talk about how great 697 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:20,159 they are. Will and Adam, you're gonna have a pod this weekend for 698 00:49:20,199 --> 00:49:25,119 the people. I am unavoidably detained. I apologize.

Thank you so much for listening and 709 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,039 subscribing. We always do this. This is one of my favorite parts of 710 00:50:09,079 --> 00:50:13,800 the show, Adam. One positive thing to send the Clippers fans out on 711 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:19,360 this gloomy Los Angeles, Noirrie night. The Clippers are so damn talented that 712 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,840 even without Paul George, all they needed to do was play one good quarter 713 00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:28,039 and they could get up by twenty nine points against the Washington Wizards. So 714 00:50:28,159 --> 00:50:31,239 even if they start off slow against Detroit, do not lose faith. This 715 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:36,159 team has the ability to flip a switch. We've seen it many times this 716 00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,440 season. But yeah, it would be nice to see four quarters put together 717 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:42,480 of good basketball on Friday. And we need to save money on that give 718 00:50:42,519 --> 00:50:45,760 no quarter scenario, so come on clips, help us out. Also dropping 719 00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:50,519 the comments and charity we should donate that too, preferably something local I guess 720 00:50:50,559 --> 00:50:53,639 in LA. Thank you so much for listening, and as always, let's 721 00:50:53,639 --> 00:50:54,159 go clips,
