We are joined by friend of the show, Carl Tart. 8 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,640 Carl, how the hell are you, buddy? Fellow swamp Kings right here? 9 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,560 Yeah? Wait?

Yeah, perfect, So he's Riley Cooper. 13 00:00:48,119 --> 00:00:53,640 I'm gonna be I'm gonna be Brandon spikes me because who was just like the 14 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,920 thing that's making me the most mad about this documentary is how crazy these workouts 15 00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:00,359 and stuff were and they just having this like well, if you couldn't make 16 00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:03,640 it, you saw. But Brandon was like, nah, man, I'm 17 00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:08,239 very good and I don't like doing this. This is soft and good. 18 00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:12,280 Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm gonna be Brandon Spikes. I'll be Percy Harving 19 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,840 because he smoked weed. All right. Yeah, maybe we got may William 20 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:26,760 Tebow, Yeah, will Wills Tebo, but without without the hommies, what 21 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:36,120 murder Today we're gonna be talking. We got some questions about James James Harden. 22 00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:40,439 We got some questions about kind of like what the hell is gonna happen 23 00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:42,760 next year? We're talking clippers betting odds since Adam isn't here, so we 24 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:48,599 can talk about that kind of stuff. But Carl just kind of getting back 25 00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:53,079 to this James Harden saga for those people who aren't informed. Uh, He's 26 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,519 find a hundred thousand dollars. Do we think that that's a bad precedent to 27 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,680 set? Yeah, Like that's been the first time this whole year that I've 28 00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:06,879 been like, all right, maybe not him, like maybe maybe not him, 29 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,520 maybe not I I was still love him. But if we can't get 30 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,680 it, if we can't get him for the low, for you know what 31 00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:15,719 we all want Yeah, if we can't get him for the lown, then 32 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,120 I think I think it's okay for us to just go ahead and go all 33 00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:22,879 right, all right, we'll roll what we got. Yeah, I think 34 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,159 that's very legit. I like James man, I wish I wish we could 35 00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:29,039 get him. I wish we could get him for the low. But there's 36 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,360 there's stuff going on right now that I'm like, do we want these problems 37 00:02:31,439 --> 00:02:37,360 in our organization? An organization that is probably the most heavily scrutinized organization in 38 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,680 the league right like, And that's and we're getting into a stare down situation 39 00:02:42,719 --> 00:02:46,680 because James Harden is stubborn. Darryl moore is very stubborn. So this, 40 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,840 like the fact that Darryl Moorey is like I'm unbothered, I'm still gonna bring 41 00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:53,879 him into training camp makes it worse for the Clippers too, Yeah, because 42 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,560 like, just let him be away from training camp. Yeah, don't have 43 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,199 him doing this whatever he's gonna do at training camp. Like, I think 44 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,039 he should take that money and play overseas. What is the can y'all explain 45 00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:08,120 that he can't? I read? So there's a thing with the with I 46 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:14,319 think with the way that it's worded in, like NBA contracts, he can't 47 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,400 sign a contract like his team if he opts out like just doesn't play and 48 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,120 it's like I want to play overseas. The way that it's worded in, 49 00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:24,599 I think it's the CBA or something part of the It's a part of the 50 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:30,080 CBA. So it was essentially, if you're an expiring with one year left 51 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,560 on your deal, if you try to just sit out the season, the 52 00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:38,919 team that you're supposed to be playing for can like they have the power to 53 00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:44,159 release or not release you for any team. It's not bound by league, 54 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,759 so like EuroLeague could be like no, man, like, yeah, he 55 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,879 can't go to China, like people are saying where he would make a ton 56 00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:53,560 of money, but like they the seventy six ers, there's no way they 57 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,639 would let him do that. Wow, there's gonna be a shit you know 58 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,319 it already is. I mean there was one. I feel like he could 59 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,039 go to Abu Dhabi. I feel like, yeah, I mean, yeah, 60 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,759 we don't care about the collective bartening here, come over here, he's 61 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,879 he's a million dollars. He's got to be black listened from the NBA after 62 00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:15,800 that right, Yeah, he hasn't, Yeah he got. I don't know. 63 00:04:15,879 --> 00:04:19,319 I wouldn't do it. Those contracts. Did you see that soccer contract 64 00:04:19,319 --> 00:04:24,360 that I think Naymar signed. He has like the house they're giving him is 65 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,399 basically a hotel. Like he gets like an extra five hundred thousand dollars per 66 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,519 social media post about the team, or some crazy thing like if they start 67 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:40,040 a basketball league's over for the MPa. So yeah, we got a question 68 00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:42,959 about the hardened thing. Carl. Do you think Harden's a good fit? 69 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,759 This is from militant mind for or should the Clippers try and go after Lavine 70 00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:51,120 or Derosin Those are the two names that have kind of been popping up. 71 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,000 Both of those guys play the same position as Kawhi Land and the Paul George 72 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,120 Well. I think in this there's this dream that some Clippers fans have have 73 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,160 that Kawai's moving down to the four. Yeah, sure, which would be 74 00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:10,199 cool. Yeah that's cool. That's cool as hill. But no, like 75 00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:12,279 James is the better fit. I want to see. I want to see 76 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,079 Rust and James together. I agree, and like, I love I like 77 00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:21,759 both of these players. I mean DeRozan, I mean, certainly some some 78 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,439 flaws in both of these players games. I think either one of them would 79 00:05:26,439 --> 00:05:32,839 make the season a little bit more electrifying. But I don't think it does 80 00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:38,759 anything to like actually try to win something, which is like what this team 81 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,360 has tried to go all in on. I think that, like I feel 82 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,879 like in the two on three era, right, the thing has been everybody 83 00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:48,800 wants a point guard. You know, it's media outlets saying we need a 84 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,959 point guard, it's the players on the team saying we need a point guard. 85 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,600 I just think to try this, this experiment or whatever you want to 86 00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:00,279 call it to the ultimate test, Like you have to get the most point 87 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,519 guard of point guards, and I think James Harden is the best available, 88 00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:06,639 which if other teams are getting in the mix as far as trades go, 89 00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:13,240 that kind of goes away. But I think that you have to do that, 90 00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:16,399 like here's what you wanted, here's what everybody asked for, it didn't 91 00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:19,319 and like if that doesn't work out, then it's time to move on. 92 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,879 Man. Like I feel like you could look yourself in the mirror and say, 93 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,160 hey, we did everything to make this work, Like one of you 94 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,399 is gonna be traded, I promise you we tried exactly. I promise you. 95 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,680 I promise you, we tried. I mean, yeah, it is, 96 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:40,519 you can't. We have to be realistic. Everybody has to be realistic. 97 00:06:40,519 --> 00:06:44,040 I think, because we get beat up on so much, we fall 98 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,519 into the trap of listening to all the noise. It's so hard to tune 99 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:51,040 out the noise, and the noise says, the noise is never giving us 100 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,000 any credit. Like sometimes I'll lark. I'll give you guys a little bit. 101 00:06:55,040 --> 00:07:00,959 Is sometimes I'll lark going on TikTok and oh yeah, these people will, 102 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,240 these people will. Is that is that big Blad? Hey, what 103 00:07:04,399 --> 00:07:09,160 up, big lad, Clipper Blad? If you're not seeing us, uh, 104 00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:11,680 we're streaming right now. Clipper Ladd is in the chat. I hope 105 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,360 he's doing well. I can show comments. Oh hell yeah. So I'll 106 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,120 get on. I'll get on there and lurk sometime. And and it feels 107 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:25,000 like every like live that pops up in my algorithm is people doing basketball takes 108 00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:30,120 of course on TikTok on TikTok. Yeah, and so I'll go in there. 109 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,480 You can go live on TikTok yeah. Oh yeah. It makes a 110 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,240 lot of money too. That's why it's just it's it's all just you know, 111 00:07:34,439 --> 00:07:38,000 are you showing feet on TikTok during your time off with the strike? 112 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,519 Uh No, I'm not showing feed on TikTok. I I'm lurking on TikTok. 113 00:07:41,519 --> 00:07:44,319 I'm burner. I'm burner and on TikTok as well. Hell yeah, 114 00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:46,319 although it's although anytime I share a video, you can actually you can see 115 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,399 what. Yeah, I know what, we know what your burning is. 116 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,160 That's that's fine. On there, you can the burn on TikTok is because 117 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,600 I don't have any content. But they I'll get in there and just like 118 00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:00,839 give give the clippers a little bit of love, and they'll always just go 119 00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:05,879 insane. Oh they ain't done nothing, ain't done nothing. I'm like, 120 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,879 why are why do we have the most pressure on us with it? Like 121 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,199 with the dames of the media too, Yeah, because of the media picks 122 00:08:13,279 --> 00:08:16,439 us and then things don't go well, then they say what were we thinking? 123 00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:18,839 And then the next year they say, but what if it worked this 124 00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:22,600 time? Yeah? But also they don't do that till are we forgetting at 125 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,600 the Phoenix Suns failed just as much as we do. Yes, they are 126 00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:31,360 forgetting that because Devin Booker was so good that then they're like, oh, 127 00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:33,000 well, all right, yeah, they just let them slide. It'll be 128 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,240 better next year. And then next year coming they're not better, Well, 129 00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:37,519 you know they're gonna have a full year it is, then next year comeing. 130 00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:41,120 Because I don't have them winning. Let next year either. I still 131 00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:43,600 don't think that roster can beat Denver. So yeah, I don't either. 132 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,519 Remains to be saying, yeah, they they're the ones that have something approved. 133 00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:50,919 But I will say the thing that keeps them in the conversation is they 134 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,600 continue to make big swing trades. Yeah, and that is something that said, 135 00:08:56,639 --> 00:09:00,639 I mean really sense the two on three. I mean, I guess 136 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,480 if you want to count count Marcus Morris, we haven't really seen a whole 137 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:11,399 lot of yeah, outside of the big in terms of a big acquisition, 138 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,799 in terms of even trying to build a big three, unless you count Russ 139 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,679 as that big three. But that wasn't Yeah, that's another conversation. Bleacher 140 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:26,600 Report, the Laker media institutions just put out their like top five big threes 141 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:33,840 in the league, and some of them like they made uh the Bucks big 142 00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:41,399 three honorable mention because it's like what Jannis Chris and Drew. Okay, honorable 143 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:48,279 mention. Honorable mention they gave They gave Book, Brad and KD a slot 144 00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:52,200 A trio we've never seen played again, You've never seen play them, but 145 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,240 this was the one that really got me. Two two really got me. 146 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:03,679 Yeah, Alicans, c J. Brandon and Zion. Now, Zion has 147 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,240 had a lot of hate in the media. Zion's going through a lot. 148 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,039 So I'm not gonna sit here and say that we get more ship than him. 149 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,320 But we're all pro Zion. We're all pro Zion. But how did 150 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,320 he how did they get in there over our big three? And then the 151 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,480 next one that really, you know it really that big three, that big 152 00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:26,639 three, that Pelicans Big three was kind of unstoppable wall Zion was healthy. 153 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,840 Yeah, so I can a little bit. I can a little bit understand 154 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,720 it. At least we've seen them play. We've seen them play. We 155 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,080 also saw our Big three play and they were very good as well. But 156 00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:39,399 get to your grievances, Carl, Sorry, what grinded your gears? Well, 157 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,000 that that the fact that we weren't in there at all at all, 158 00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:46,120 It was only like five of them. But the fact that we weren't in 159 00:10:46,159 --> 00:10:52,519 there. These were the top five. And the fact that the Lakers Lebron 160 00:10:52,639 --> 00:11:03,080 James, Anthony Davis. Okay, and just guess before I dude, and 161 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,200 this is what pisses me off. Austin Reeves is a very good basketball player. 162 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,559 Sure, no hate on that big three. He deserves to be an 163 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,080 India. That's what I will say. I always say that every time somebody 164 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,279 says I'm hating on it, because you can't say nothing about him. Every 165 00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:20,399 time somebody says I hate and I'll say, he absolutely deserves to be a 166 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,759 in the NBA and getting prime minutes, and he's playing well, and he's 167 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,080 he's playing fine. The way the media is making him out to be is 168 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,240 that he Man. If it wasn't for uh, Anthony Awards and Austin Reeves, 169 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,000 this team will be owing. I was like, come on, man, 170 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,000 Yeah, Anthony Awards is right, but still a really good team over 171 00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:43,399 there. Ala Burton, you got come on, man. So it's being 172 00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:48,320 ridiculous. Is the Clipper is kau I PG and Russ a big three? 173 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,639 Though? I think so. I think it's a big two. I don't 174 00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:58,879 mean just as much as Anthony Davison. I think it's more of a I 175 00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:01,639 think it's more than at I think that's a big I think that's a better 176 00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:05,159 big thing than the Lakers. I think you're right. I think that's that's 177 00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:11,039 a fair thing to say. For sure. I'm also sick another grievance here. 178 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,039 I'm not I'm not following the thing today. It's time for me to 179 00:12:15,159 --> 00:12:18,000 air my grievances. I'm sick of Kauai being the only player in the league 180 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:26,679 being called a if healthy given the if healthy qualification, as if he didn't 181 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,840 have a huge injury. Right, they just think he's resting. They don't 182 00:12:30,879 --> 00:12:35,639 say he's not playing because he's hurt. Yeah, they I'm sick of hearing 183 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:41,720 Kauai if healthy, if healthy, if healthy, but not to grind your 184 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,720 gears anymore. That is the Clippers biggest hurdle. Of course, it is 185 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,600 if healthy. But I'm trying to everybody everybody is if healthy. Sure, 186 00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:54,080 that's that's the will Upti school of thought, because we can't we try and 187 00:12:54,120 --> 00:13:00,600 not say health when it's like, what's the biggest thing every teams to every 188 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,720 team look at the Bucks the year like the year after they won the championship, 189 00:13:03,759 --> 00:13:07,840 Like no Chris Middleton. They got out in the first round, like 190 00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:11,720 it. Yeah, health matters for every single team. Yeah, do you 191 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,679 have any other grievances you need to air? Carl Tasketball wives. We don't 192 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,799 have all day. We don't have all day. You guys got a show 193 00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:24,919 to run. Someone mentioned that if the Clippers trade for James Harden, we 194 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:31,799 then have PG, Kauai and James Harden all kind of expecting large deals, 195 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,639 which is something I somehow, you know, it's been a long Offsea's been 196 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,960 very hot. I haven't hadn't really put that together. Does that make you 197 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,600 worried a little bit? Because like, also, Carl, do you think 198 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,840 that the Clippers are going to give PG the full max? Kawhi? I 199 00:13:48,879 --> 00:13:52,879 think they'll give the full max. But do you think they're gonna give offer 200 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:58,720 PG a full I think it's four for two twenty. I hate to to 201 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:03,679 not be a man of the new generation with a hot take, but I 202 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,159 truly don't know. No, that's fair, dude, I don't know. 203 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,960 It's a better answer than a bad take. Yeah, I don't know. 204 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,519 I I don't know if I want them to. I don't know if I 205 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,759 want I'd love to, but what is the free agent market next year? 206 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,919 What is like? Who can we go after? Who can we replace those 207 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:26,519 guys with to bring in like we got we got this new stadium. Everybody 208 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,720 knows that now that we gotta have button seats in this new stadium. Uh 209 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,000 would who is? Who is? Who can we go after if we don't 210 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:41,279 max them out and they and they leave? I don't ye who anybody under 211 00:14:41,399 --> 00:14:46,480 thirty? Anybody will under thirty? Well are you looking up right now? 212 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,120 Yeah, I'm trying to trying to look up some stats. I don't know 213 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,879 off the top of my head. Who's available next season? All right, 214 00:14:54,919 --> 00:14:58,360 let me look at what are we look at twenty twenty four? Yeah? 215 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:05,879 Update, thank you sport track Pascal. If Siakam's not signed up, Pascal 216 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:15,200 siakamja go to Toronto. See my friend Pasca. I'm a Raptor buddy healed? 217 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,080 Is he forty? A big Pascal fan. I'm in Toronto like a 218 00:15:18,159 --> 00:15:20,519 Raptor. That's just that's just one of my That's just one of my impressions. 219 00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:26,320 Saw the op in the street and I see yak Tobias. No, 220 00:15:26,399 --> 00:15:30,919 it's not a good class. I'm looking at twenty twenty four. You got 221 00:15:30,919 --> 00:15:35,799 Pascal buddy, and then Chetti Osman, Roys, O'Neil, Tobias, Harris, 222 00:15:35,879 --> 00:15:39,639 Klay Thompson. Let's trade the house for JD Osman Hoe Jaris Jaris is 223 00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:41,960 on there. Uh no, man, I think I think we got to 224 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,840 keep those guys, and unfortunately I just think that's what we gotta do and 225 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,879 we gotta sign. Yeah, we gotta try and maybe trade them. This 226 00:15:48,919 --> 00:15:52,679 is a bad class. This is not good Clay, does that do anything 227 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:58,080 for you? We gotta bad we gotta we gotta put that comment, post 228 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,039 that comment. We got some we got some rules posted. Guys. What 229 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,679 do we got? We gotta ultimatum. We gotta ultimatum, y'all even start 230 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,399 with this hard and stuff. The team discontinue talks to reason. I'm done 231 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,919 listening to as long as y'all keep begging for Harden. We're not begging, 232 00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:15,320 Eugene, complete dumb ass. Shut up, you're not You're not listening to 233 00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:21,879 us. Now. I love that Adam isn't here to rate over the radio, 234 00:16:22,039 --> 00:16:26,159 so we'll do it on the internet. Yeah, uh no, Yeah. 235 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,600 The free agent class, I mean, Pascal would be tight. Pascal 236 00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:34,120 will be like, I don't see the fit you guys next to Quiet PG. 237 00:16:34,399 --> 00:16:38,360 Yeah, one of them is gone. I'm assuming that. I'm assuming 238 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,840 pg's gone. Got it, okay, Yeah, because like I mean, 239 00:16:41,919 --> 00:16:45,639 someone might offer them a full contract. Oh my god, I just really 240 00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:52,960 want Harden. Now I'm gonna start begging. But now they're good James Gang, 241 00:16:52,039 --> 00:16:56,399 James Gang. But yeah, like that is I think the front office 242 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,120 obviously one of the parts that they don't want to deal with is the contract 243 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,799 mess of having those three dudes up. That seems like a bit of a 244 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:10,839 nightmare. I think it's under I think it's untenable. Like I really don't 245 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,559 know how you do it. It's gonna be so my thing. I guess 246 00:17:14,559 --> 00:17:18,319 on the where I'm at with the Kauai and PG sort of contract situations, 247 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:26,160 I'm okay with either max years or max money, not both. So I'd 248 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,680 be willing to do, you know, a two plus one with the player 249 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,640 option on the last year for you know, near like you know hot like 250 00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:40,319 near max. Both PG and Kauai are just okay, yeah, or you 251 00:17:40,319 --> 00:17:45,480 know, fully max guaranteed the five years Kauhi offer Paul Georgia two plus one. 252 00:17:45,519 --> 00:17:48,880 I know that that creates a really weird locker room dynamic. I just 253 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,119 don't think. I just don't think like, given the age and everything, 254 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,759 you can hand out two of those contracts, like two of those max money, 255 00:17:56,839 --> 00:18:00,720 max year contracts, forget about the heart and stuff like, I don't 256 00:18:00,759 --> 00:18:03,000 think it. I don't think that any team, especially a team like us, 257 00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:07,480 that that prior to this CBA wasn't drafting young talent, well, wasn't 258 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,640 really developing that talent. A couple of things fell into our laps. You 259 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,359 know, we you know we didn't, we didn't do a couple things, 260 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:19,119 right. But I just I think with the new CBA and like the how 261 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,319 much you restricted after you go over the second apron, I just don't know 262 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:29,160 that you can remain competitive with a team that that has that much money tied 263 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,839 up in contracts and next to no young talent. Like, I don't I 264 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,279 don't know how teams will be able to continue to stay competitive. Yeah, 265 00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:41,240 that's a good call. We got a question the chat from your boy greg 266 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:42,920 A, but why go after just James? We talked about a little bit 267 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,799 earlier, but he mentioned I'm sure someone wants to come play for us, 268 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,759 like other than James Harden. It would be nice to know if anyone else 269 00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:52,440 wants to come play for this team. I mean I've talked about Dame. 270 00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:56,400 I've talked about Dame a bunch of times on this podcast. I would love 271 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,880 it. I mean, you know, I would love to make that happen. 272 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,240 I just don't think that we just don't have the goods. It's the 273 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,559 thing because Dame is locked up. Like that's the other thing. Like Dame 274 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,519 is locked up. Yeah, like whoever trades for him, Like, you're 275 00:19:11,519 --> 00:19:15,279 comfortable giving up the picks. You're comfortable giving up a good player because you 276 00:19:15,319 --> 00:19:21,559 know that you have those years and sure like his athletic system or whatever will 277 00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:23,880 decline, but you know that you are getting him for the rest of his 278 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,279 prime on your team. Yeah, that's a good call, unless you're not 279 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,920 the heat apparently, Yeah, you're like. No. We got a question 280 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,519 kind of in relation to this clip. City Grind asks, I love this 281 00:19:37,599 --> 00:19:41,799 question, Marcus Morris. Where do we go from here? Does he come 282 00:19:41,839 --> 00:19:45,319 to training camp? Phenomenal question, Carl, where are you out on Marcus 283 00:19:45,319 --> 00:19:48,319 Morris? We even already talked about Marcus Morris. Yet why the silence? 284 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,920 I gotta I can't be like a I can't be a Twitter, Marcus Morris, 285 00:19:53,920 --> 00:20:00,119 hater, You're not going to photoshop his face on like something horrible happening. 286 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,480 I am you know me. You know I defend this team to the 287 00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:07,160 death. I'm not a big fan of putting us in a place. I 288 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,279 told you by the time, I was sitting next to the guy at the 289 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:11,599 playing game, we weren't getting good calls. And the guy told me what, 290 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,400 you guys haven't earned it as a franchise. You guys haven't earned good 291 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,240 calls as a franchise. And I said how stupid he was. And I 292 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,519 love Palmer heard me and us so hopefully that that will give me season tickets 293 00:20:22,519 --> 00:20:23,319 one day. But I was like, that's a dumb take. That's a 294 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,480 dumb thing. I never said. I never called a grown ass man dumb 295 00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:30,279 that many times to his face. And I was a stranger too, that's 296 00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:33,559 great, that's dumb, stupid as hell. That's a dumb thing to say. 297 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,599 We mean, we haven't earned a good call. You kidn't given Paul 298 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,799 Georgian kawhilin haven't earned good calls, Get the hell out of my face. 299 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,880 A staples Center. A Staples Center red jacket is like, sir, you 300 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,039 need to calm down. Hell, no, that's dumb as hell, that's 301 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,279 dumb. But I don't like conversations like that about what we've earned what we 302 00:20:51,319 --> 00:20:56,759 haven't. But I do believe we shouldn't present ourselves as Clipper fans like that. 303 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,960 We haven't earned that right to just like shit on our team like that. 304 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,440 And he is not He's not great. He did not play great. 305 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,759 Right. I would like him, I would. I would prefer him to 306 00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:11,240 be off the team. But if he is on the team, I hope 307 00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:17,200 he plays to his damn best ability. But with all the stuff, like 308 00:21:17,319 --> 00:21:21,160 they've already tried to trade him once and did and then it fell through, 309 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,680 like bringing him back? Will you talked a little bit about like a weird 310 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,440 locker room dynamic with the PG contracts if things go weird. What about the 311 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:34,519 locker dynamic this season if a guy who started and then was benched for Now 312 00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:40,680 that we're a little further away from when that happened, that benching was odd. 313 00:21:41,839 --> 00:21:44,640 But yeah, look, I mean how it went through. I mean 314 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:53,079 it's kind of been talked about how Rob hasn't had any like conversations Covington. 315 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:59,039 Sorry I just said, but Robert Covington hasn't had any conversations with Tie through 316 00:21:59,079 --> 00:22:02,640 the summer. I get guarantee you that is not the same thing happening with 317 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:10,160 Ty and Marcus Morris. I'm sure on vacation, I agree, But I 318 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,799 assume there was a conversation. You know, we know that the two get 319 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,240 get along, and I mean, to some degree may have influenced some of 320 00:22:18,279 --> 00:22:22,319 his playing time or some of the hesitancy to sort of move him. So 321 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:27,559 I think that I think that it's still salvageable. I just don't know why, 322 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:33,240 man, I really love that. I love I kind of struggle to 323 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,480 see, like what the utility is and maybe last year was a blip on 324 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,279 the radar. He can get a little bit, he can get closer to 325 00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:42,440 like where we knew him to be. But the biggest thing for me is 326 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,640 just like the falloff. Defensively, I think it's just a little bit too 327 00:22:45,759 --> 00:22:49,000 much to stomach. I think you could use that as levers to get younger 328 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:55,759 with somebody who maybe not that good Martin. Huh, like kJ Martin already 329 00:22:55,799 --> 00:22:57,279 got kJ Martin, I know, but like he could take his place. 330 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,480 What I'm saying, oh yeah, take his place. But I'm saying on 331 00:23:00,519 --> 00:23:03,119 the roster, take his place on. Take somebody to take his place completely 332 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,559 on the roster, like let's get let's get rid of him and and just 333 00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:11,279 sign some contract, like let's get let's get some people who are out there 334 00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:12,640 who are looking for an opportunity, who may be a good fit, that 335 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,559 are young and you know, may not be reaching their full potential where where 336 00:23:17,559 --> 00:23:21,000 they are or anything like let's let's just get younger. We need to get 337 00:23:21,039 --> 00:23:23,480 younger. We're old ass team. I love the kJ Martin move for that. 338 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,920 Yeah. Now with Morris, it's tough because it's like who wants Marcus 339 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,440 Morris? And I know that sounds like a dickhead thing to say, but 340 00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:36,799 realistically we should. We should have traded for bowl Bow. That would have 341 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,039 you talk about putting butts and seats at the into it don bow Bow on 342 00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:45,960 the opening day graphic the Bull that's the Big three, Kauhi PG Bow Bow 343 00:23:47,079 --> 00:23:53,000 Bow. Welcome to the California. This is an invitation to my bowl Bowl, 344 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:59,599 Nate. We could pay ice Cube to wear a Clippers gear again like 345 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,240 you did for that one. Exactly what the Hail's bow Bowl talking about. 346 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:10,079 That's how you get these nuts. Put your Mount. All right, we 347 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,640 gotta do a quick ad break because we gotta keep some of the lights on 348 00:24:11,759 --> 00:24:15,799 here that we're gonna get some more questions coming up. We're gonna talk about 349 00:24:15,799 --> 00:24:18,599 the Rico Heines run. We're gonna talk about the Clippers maybe not being ready 350 00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:23,319 for the favorite label. Who knows, but some of the ads have been 351 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,599 loud for some people. Eugene was talking about how loud they've been. We 352 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,720 hope he's doing okay, or if they are doing okay, excuse me. 353 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,160 Ads coming up, and then we're taking some mailbag questions in three two one. 354 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,920 All right, so we're backing on Cliffs and Dip with special guest Carl 355 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,880 Tart. Let's move into some mailbag questions. Hopest Or nine wants to know, 356 00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:49,640 did y'all watch the clips Rico Heines run? Who impressed? Chuck, 357 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,240 I'll kick it to you. I did watch the Rico Heines run. Right 358 00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:57,400 after we got this question, Carl, did you see another Rico Heines footage? 359 00:24:57,599 --> 00:25:02,039 I didn't, Big Plane, No, he was not. I did 360 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,559 not. I didn't. I didn't see any of these. Where was it 361 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,880 at? It's on YouTube. I didn't see it. It's on YouTube. 362 00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:11,279 I did watch it. It was pretty cool. It was Brandon Boston, 363 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,240 Norm Moosa, Roco kJ Martin. They were all kind of on the same 364 00:25:15,319 --> 00:25:18,920 team. They played against Kade Cunningham. I saw Thompson, Isaiah Stewart and 365 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,839 some other guys. It was cool to see man. Like, honestly, 366 00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:27,480 I think we need to talk about how Bones Highland has seemingly been at every 367 00:25:27,559 --> 00:25:32,400 single pro am. He's almost doing. Remember when Tres used to just be 368 00:25:32,599 --> 00:25:34,480 like in the summers and the offseason, Tres was like, yeah, if 369 00:25:34,519 --> 00:25:37,279 there's a basketball court, I'm playing on it, like we're just gonna run. 370 00:25:37,519 --> 00:25:41,240 I love it. Yes, I love and Bones, Thank you star 371 00:25:41,319 --> 00:25:47,559 Manhove. I love that Bones Highland is at all these runs. And he 372 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,079 was going at Kade Cunningham. And I know we all know that Bones doesn't 373 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,680 lack confidence, but it was nice to see him going head to head with 374 00:25:56,839 --> 00:26:00,680 Kade. He had a couple in saying finishes that happened to go in, 375 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,720 which I think is something Clippers fans. We watched him sometimes last year and 376 00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:08,359 it was like there's no real plan when he gets to the room, like 377 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,319 he can finish well, but sometimes he's like back to the basket, like 378 00:26:12,519 --> 00:26:18,359 opposite hand types. Can he finished well and sometimes I think that's fair. 379 00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:22,799 I think sometimes it's fair. Bones has been working. I also want to 380 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:29,279 note Brandon Boston Junior now a bigger frame than Bones Highland, which I think 381 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,160 is great progress for that young man's career. Yeah. Yeah, he's a 382 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:40,079 big dude. Yeah. Bb Jr. Again looked confident. I think these 383 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,920 two guys have kind of a similar vibe when it comes to what you're gonna 384 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,960 see and something like the Rico Heinz run. But I was happy to see 385 00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:49,920 him going against competition like this. Kate Cunningham looked good. I'm excited to 386 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:55,680 see his highlights because I just don't watch Pistons games, but these runs are 387 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,359 good. I think Russell Westbrook they were saying was at one, but I 388 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,319 couldn't. I didn't see anything about that. Carl. Where are you at 389 00:27:00,519 --> 00:27:08,000 on Bones? Has he replaced the expectations that you had for Brandon Boston Junior? 390 00:27:08,079 --> 00:27:11,279 Or where are you out on the young guys? Yeah? I think 391 00:27:11,319 --> 00:27:15,200 he's better. Uh. The young guys are tough man and tough in the 392 00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:19,240 bad weight. I don't I think they're they're tough to get behind. They've 393 00:27:19,279 --> 00:27:26,319 shown very tiny flashes, but haven't done enough for me. Uh. Such 394 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,119 a cool story that was put out about Moosa in the G League, I 395 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,039 mean in the Drew League. Yeah, and then I was like, but 396 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:37,799 why is he struggling in the Drew League? That's a completely that's a completely 397 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:44,960 fair. It's very cool that his that he that he has his Uh yeah, 398 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,240 he's coachable and he's really why is he struggling in the Drew League? 399 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:55,200 You played in BA. You don't think the Bones could soak up some minutes 400 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,640 at the one with the starters? Yeah, I mean with the starters soak 401 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,319 up minute? Maybe not SoC maybe did his toes a minute much? Yeah, 402 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,599 maybe that's mopping up when things go when things getting messy. I don't 403 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,119 think. I don't think Bones is the safety guy that we subb in when 404 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:17,319 things are like things are so frenup. But out of all the point guards 405 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,759 on our roster, yeah, he's gonna have to be him. I mean 406 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,319 that's true though. That's a good call, am I tripping? Does Norm 407 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,119 never really played a one? Can he not play the one? He kind 408 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,680 of plays the one? Oh? Norm looks phenomenal in these runs. I 409 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,240 think he looked the best. But again, he has much more experience than 410 00:28:34,759 --> 00:28:37,839 most of the people he was playing with. Rocco was there excited for a 411 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,559 healthy Norm. We haven't talked about Norm enough on this podcast. I love 412 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:47,119 watching Norm. I think a full season, a healthy Norm should help the 413 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,400 regular season as compared to last season. That's a good call. I'm looking 414 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:56,079 up his position breakdowns right now. He doesn't really pass. That's not really 415 00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,200 this thing. He's not there to pass. He played twenty five per cent 416 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,279 of his minutes at point guard for the Clippers last season, and sixty seven 417 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,400 percent of the two Yeah, well, what's his what's his assist per game? 418 00:29:06,839 --> 00:29:08,119 No, I'm saying he like he's for sure a two guard. Yeah. 419 00:29:08,599 --> 00:29:15,920 His assist per game last year one point eight? Yeah, yeah, 420 00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:21,640 healthy one point that's what That's probably why it's not let's let's call it two 421 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,279 guys. Well, I was about to say, I know Matth is kind 422 00:29:25,319 --> 00:29:27,799 of the only absolute we have on this planet, but I would round down 423 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:33,960 on that. That's an accidental assist that gets tipped off his hands and Brandon 424 00:29:34,039 --> 00:29:38,440 Boston makes a three. Yeah. No, I mean yeah, we gotta 425 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,440 get younger and we gotta get some more action in there. I love the 426 00:29:41,519 --> 00:29:48,039 kJ. Martin move homes and kJ together is gonna be very fun to watch. 427 00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:51,559 Offensively, the kJ play defense. I haven't seen. I haven't watched 428 00:29:51,599 --> 00:29:53,240 enough of him. I haven't I don't watch a lot of Rockets games. 429 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,319 Yeah, so I mean, based on their team, probably not. I 430 00:29:57,359 --> 00:30:00,920 don't think he's been another guy who like has the tools but played for the 431 00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:03,839 Rockets. So it's a little though. I feel like it's I think that 432 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,200 those player evaluations are pretty hard for me from like this team. This team 433 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,079 doesn't give a shit about defense, Like they're they're not in a good scheme, 434 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,839 they're not being taught good things, Like how do you what do you 435 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,000 take away from that? Yeah, it's like college, Like I guess it's 436 00:30:18,079 --> 00:30:21,519 cool when guys are good defenders in college and you're like, Okay, they 437 00:30:21,599 --> 00:30:23,279 clearly have the instincts, but if they suck, it's kind of like, 438 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,279 well they could maybe get better. I mean, it wasn't an emphasis of 439 00:30:26,359 --> 00:30:30,599 their program. Yeah that's a good call. Oh, someone in the chat 440 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,119 is saying, according to Rockets fans, kJ is not a defender, but 441 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,799 maybe it was the team. Yeah, it sounds about right. That happened, 442 00:30:38,359 --> 00:30:41,400 Carl, What did you think of kJ Martin being the only Clippers player 443 00:30:41,559 --> 00:30:47,440 in the schedule kickoff video. I didn't see that either. I was so 444 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:53,480 pissed off by every other team's schedule kickoff video. The Clippers one is well 445 00:30:53,599 --> 00:31:00,119 broad. He takes a basketball that has the Wilson hand print from Castaway to 446 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,200 Chick fil A, and Hannah Cormier's in it at a dance rehearsal and their 447 00:31:03,519 --> 00:31:11,440 venice. That's nice. I don't know. It was not my favorite intro 448 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,640 video. There were some whack ones. I want who'd I watched? And 449 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,240 I was they were like rolling down bottles of stuff every team. Yeah, 450 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,599 And I was like, if it's if it's anything disrespectful from the fucking timberwoold, 451 00:31:22,599 --> 00:31:26,240 I'm gonna flip my god damn winging and those paper clips. And I'm 452 00:31:26,279 --> 00:31:29,920 like, all right, that's fine, Like s I get you that one. 453 00:31:30,839 --> 00:31:33,839 If it was anything that was like, we don't even want to make 454 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:38,279 one for them, if they rolled down like any anything that wasn't they rolled 455 00:31:38,319 --> 00:31:42,200 down the they rolled down the legislation that said it's Donald Sterling's fault that there's 456 00:31:42,279 --> 00:31:48,519 rank there has to be in California, Well, it wasn't very good. 457 00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:51,640 I don't know if you need to watch. I think that's totally fine. 458 00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:53,480 But I like that they're hyping him up. I like that we are like 459 00:31:55,039 --> 00:31:56,000 he's gonna be a piece. I feel like he's gonna be a big part 460 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,039 of the team. He's athletic as hell. Yes, he can cut. 461 00:32:00,279 --> 00:32:07,079 That's good to see. We got a question from Tyler Landinsky. He says 462 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,720 last year was the first year ever that the Clips were the favorite to win 463 00:32:09,759 --> 00:32:15,240 a championship. I don't think that they actually were the favorite train championship, 464 00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:16,839 but he says, which means the Clippers had a target on their back. 465 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:22,119 Every team went after them every game. Tyler doesn't think that they were ready 466 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,559 for that. He's curious if anyone agrees, and he doesn't think this gets 467 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:30,000 enough attention. Uh, Carl, go ahead, Yeah, I don't. 468 00:32:30,039 --> 00:32:32,200 I don't think we're ever ready for that. I don't think we have the 469 00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:37,480 personalities on our team to be ready for that. I think Kawai was Kawhi 470 00:32:37,559 --> 00:32:43,200 is always Kawhi is always ready, but he didn't play, so it is 471 00:32:43,759 --> 00:32:46,519 it's tough to think about that. You know, he's always ready. He 472 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,400 marches to be his own drum. He would have really been bad on that 473 00:32:50,599 --> 00:32:52,799 Iran Maya Florida team. Oh yeah, he would have been like, I'm 474 00:32:52,799 --> 00:32:55,440 not running for ship. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go out here. 475 00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,200 I'm gonna play really well on Saturdays, but I'm not running. I'm not 476 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:05,279 going to class. Yeah, except for pottery class. But he yeah, 477 00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:08,279 I don't know. I think we just don't have. If we had to 478 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:13,599 still had Paul Paul George, Pat Bath or something like that, I think 479 00:33:13,599 --> 00:33:15,400 we would have. That would have taken us over the top energy wise. 480 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,279 Do you think a full season of Russ now coming up? Yes, maybe 481 00:33:20,599 --> 00:33:22,319 that, Yes, that substitutes a bit of the Pat beevness. Yes, 482 00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:28,720 absolutely, and bones. I think Ball's gonna get into mask too. You 483 00:33:28,839 --> 00:33:30,920 got to Westbrook, Jersey, right, Yeah, Okay, he's getting so 484 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:36,519 he's getting traded at Oh he's gone yeah yeah, yeah for sure. I 485 00:33:36,599 --> 00:33:42,440 bought I bought an on court ZoomBox Jersey. Really no, I remember what 486 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,440 I was talking to you guys. It was on the NBA auctions and I 487 00:33:44,519 --> 00:33:46,799 was like, damn, how much was it? It wasn't two forty, 488 00:33:47,079 --> 00:33:50,240 It wasn't even crazy. It was like how much you would pay for a 489 00:33:50,319 --> 00:33:52,400 replica, Like maybe even a little less. And for how much and for 490 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,680 how much fabric that is? That's a screaming deal. That was the thing. 491 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,039 I was like, if I buy this jersey, a do I wear 492 00:33:59,079 --> 00:34:02,759 it? Because it'll go down to my knees? Yeah? And then like 493 00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:06,000 I'm like, what do I frame it? Like? Do I keep it 494 00:34:06,119 --> 00:34:08,360 like my like my Blake jersey back? I think I need to get signed. 495 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,679 Yeah. But then it's like then people are like, oh, you 496 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:16,840 gotta Blake Griffin and a piece of Yeah, the longest currently the longest ten 497 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,320 year Clipper. I don't know why you wouldn't have it, You wouldn't have 498 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,159 a jersey hung out? Well, where are you at? Do you agree 499 00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:28,599 with Tyler Lane Dinsky? That's a Midwestern name if I've heard one. I 500 00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:30,840 think we as fans think about this stuff a way more than the players do. 501 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:36,679 Like I think that players get up to play teams that are good, 502 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,880 and I mean I just had to be honest. I like maybe maybe they 503 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:45,079 did have a targear on their back, or teams thought they were I thought 504 00:34:45,119 --> 00:34:46,719 the Clippers would be good, or just wanted to stunt on the Clippers. 505 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,360 I don't know. I think it's the same though for a lot of teams. 506 00:34:52,519 --> 00:34:53,360 Yeah, I don't. I don't think that I agree with Will. 507 00:34:54,559 --> 00:34:58,719 I agree with you. I think I think the Clippers, no matter what 508 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,639 our franchise, what row our franchise takes to get better and and to to 509 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:07,400 erase the history of whatever the franchise has been in the past, I think 510 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:08,920 we all grew up being like, oh, the Clippers is a dub. 511 00:35:09,079 --> 00:35:12,480 I'm going in here and get a dub on the Clippers, right, And 512 00:35:12,639 --> 00:35:15,280 even though we have the most winning team in the past ten years, people 513 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,719 are like, I'm not afraid of the Clippers. I think even on back 514 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,599 to back nights where the teams have to play the Lakers the next night, 515 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,239 I think they're more like, no, I gotta come alive for that. 516 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,719 I feel like when that court changes and those lights go down in the stands, 517 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:36,320 people treat that like Madison Square Garden. Yeah, getting ways, no 518 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,960 community outreach, no none, They don't need to. They turn up for 519 00:35:39,039 --> 00:35:42,840 that. That's like, that's that's that's the West Coast Madison Square Garden. 520 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,760 When when they played it, so I think and I think us it's like, 521 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,480 you know, I think it's just a disrespect across the league. That's 522 00:35:50,559 --> 00:35:52,599 like, oh, yeah, but that's the Clippers though, It's like the 523 00:35:52,679 --> 00:35:57,039 Clippers are like the TD Guarden, Right, yeah, there was our Barclay 524 00:35:57,119 --> 00:36:02,199 Center. Yeah. I think that's fair. It's and it's also it's so 525 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,519 I like what Will said about how I don't think players think about it maybe 526 00:36:06,559 --> 00:36:12,199 as much as fans do. It's also really difficult when your team is in 527 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,599 flux of being totally hurt. Yeah, And like it's also like, it's 528 00:36:16,639 --> 00:36:21,159 not like I think to say this argument that they weren't ready for the target 529 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,800 kind of discredits all the ship they were going through with injuries, because it's 530 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:28,800 not like we were fully healthy and we shipped the bet everyone like our main 531 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,599 guys were hurt. It's also I mean, like I kind of think too, 532 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,159 and I'm not you know, in the locker room, but to a 533 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,960 certain degree, there's expectations on every team, you know, like in like 534 00:36:40,119 --> 00:36:44,039 for the players, and it's not that you're gonna win the championship. I 535 00:36:44,079 --> 00:36:49,000 think you're aware of the talent, the talent level and everything that's on your 536 00:36:49,039 --> 00:36:52,639 team, but you have goals and aspirations, and I think it's pretty clear 537 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:58,719 when you're not really meeting those just kind of like any other job. Yeah, 538 00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:06,960 just like it's just stressful to think about like every day, Like I'm 539 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,840 on strike. I'm on double strike right now. Oh yeah, you are 540 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:15,280 on double strike. I'm on double strike, and I like everything about this 541 00:37:15,679 --> 00:37:20,840 is just like, ah, are you wearing are you wearing your clippers jersey? 542 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,920 And hopes that you see Margot Robbie one of the strikes and you go, 543 00:37:22,119 --> 00:37:24,360 oh, hey, I don't I don't know you, but we both 544 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,400 are Clippers fans. Yeah, oh my god, what those your real feet? 545 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:36,800 And Barbie? Wow, I would love to compare. I don't know, 546 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,079 that's crazy, Like, don need some lotion on them or something. 547 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:43,719 What other movies do you show your feet? That's let me just let me 548 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,559 just write this down. Once upon a time in Hollywood for sure. Yeah. 549 00:37:47,679 --> 00:37:52,559 It was definitely in Babylon. Oh yeah, yeah, all right, 550 00:37:52,639 --> 00:37:54,920 this this thinks so, but there's not a foot. I don't know if 551 00:37:54,960 --> 00:38:00,079 there they weren't. I would love so munch of this. If this thirty 552 00:38:00,119 --> 00:38:04,320 eight minute mark of this podcast was the first time someone tuned in on the 553 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,280 live stream not her real feet. Barley, by the way, did you 554 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,719 just look it up? No, I already know. Do you know whose 555 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:19,440 feet they are? Some of the foot model Lady Goslings. Yeah, all 556 00:38:19,519 --> 00:38:22,119 right. We got a question from the law of the jam of the podcast, 557 00:38:22,159 --> 00:38:25,400 which is also under the two and three Hoops umbrella as Clips and dip 558 00:38:25,559 --> 00:38:29,599 is, go and check out all their content. They don't talk about feet 559 00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:31,599 as much, so if that's what you're into, check out this podcast. 560 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:37,079 They want to know what the Clippers curses up to these days, and how 561 00:38:37,159 --> 00:38:43,800 does the Clippers curset reel about James hard Oh oh, oh no, what 562 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:50,920 is that? It's the ship coming in. Oh I'm ducking in Inglewood. 563 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:59,599 You were in France? I was not. I was not. I was 564 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:05,159 in Seattle, okay, and I sing the floor for the preseason game. 565 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,519 Oh no, you're putting in that preseason. You're doing work too on the 566 00:39:07,599 --> 00:39:12,760 preseason. I'm on double strike. God this get this damn curse? So 567 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:19,079 okay, curse.

Oh perfect, whose feet or 572 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:38,440 curse? We'll get to that later. I think you know. I think 573 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:44,840 James Harden will not be joining our team in the beginning of the season, 574 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:52,840 unfortunately, but campaign will. But later in the season, Yes, later 575 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:57,400 in the season, he's coming. He'll be bigger than ever. You're strong, 576 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,960 Oxen strong, and he'll do everything we need him to do. Wait 577 00:40:02,119 --> 00:40:07,559 all to Russell.

Of course, oh 579 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,800 we the curse, and he will do everything we need him to do. 580 00:40:19,639 --> 00:40:24,719 Pass the ball arrantly to Russell Westbrook behind the three point line. Oh oh 581 00:40:25,559 --> 00:40:29,559 oh, did I lose you? I don't like this curse. I don't 582 00:40:29,639 --> 00:40:31,440 like what you're doing. I don't know why you're in Seattle, but I 583 00:40:31,559 --> 00:40:36,519 hope you didn't. I told you I'm buttering the floor for the preseason game. 584 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:38,440 First you said I think, Now you said buttering. I'm not sure 585 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:44,719 what icing and buttering like a pop start. You gotta cover your basis, 586 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,320 got to make sure that floor is as slippery as possible for our starters. 587 00:40:50,039 --> 00:40:52,599 I want to see musa debate starting this season. No, all right, 588 00:40:52,679 --> 00:40:55,639 Curse, we gotta, we gotta, We're gonna put too far. You 589 00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:00,840 just pulled in the anglewood. Well, good luck, buddy, bar of 590 00:41:00,119 --> 00:41:02,920 Wa. Well, thank you, Curse for coming in. We appreciate that, 591 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,360 I guess, thank you for that question opposite, bar of War. 592 00:41:12,519 --> 00:41:15,679 This is a hard side. But does anyone here follow Brad Turner, the 593 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:20,679 Lakers writer on Twitter. No, Yeah, that man is on his annual 594 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,320 Paris trip, and I don't think there's anyone who enjoys going to Paris more 595 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:27,480 than Brad Turner. Yeah, it seems like a good time. Yeah, 596 00:41:27,519 --> 00:41:30,639 he's in meeking us. He's having a great time. All right, coming 597 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,280 up, We're done with questions unless you send him to us. On the 598 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:37,519 livestream at YouTube dot com slash at Clippers podcast, we're gonna talk lou Will 599 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,760 saying now him and Jamal Crawfords are being in the Hall of Fame, some 600 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:45,599 Clippers betting odds because Adam's not here, So we can really let loose and 601 00:41:45,639 --> 00:41:47,920 talk about feet and gambling money. We got ads coming up. They've been 602 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,480 too loud, Go ahead and turn it down. Uh, championship odds coming 603 00:41:52,559 --> 00:41:58,159 up after this. All right, we are back. We're talking random stuff 604 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,679 with Clipper Carr Tart. He's on double strike, doing his best. He's 605 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:06,760 on the picket lines, he's supporting. Recently, Lou Will said that he 606 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:12,320 and Jamal Crawford belong in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Carl agree or disagree? 607 00:42:12,559 --> 00:42:15,519 Agree. I think the sixth man is is one of the most important 608 00:42:15,559 --> 00:42:21,159 positions in basketball, and they both did it the best, and I think 609 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,639 that they were very successful at it, right, And it's I think any 610 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,400 argument to discredit it. I'm like, why why would you be mad at 611 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,119 this? Yeah, Like, it's the basketball It's not the NBA Hall of 612 00:42:30,199 --> 00:42:35,960 Fame, which is I think sometimes something people will get it's the basketball Hall 613 00:42:36,039 --> 00:42:39,800 of Fame, meaning they should a one hundred percent they want like some wild 614 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:44,719 percentage of the those awards that have been given out the whole time. Lou 615 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,280 Will was lou Wills came out of high school and played until he was with 616 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:52,079 thirty six years old. Thirty seven, Yes, and not only did he 617 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,079 just come out of high school because I look, I wanted to look at 618 00:42:54,079 --> 00:42:58,519 his wiki to be like, Okay, aside from the pro stuff, like 619 00:42:59,119 --> 00:43:04,599 he was basketball and Georgia as a junior and senior he was the Nice Wreath 620 00:43:04,639 --> 00:43:09,639 Prep Player of the Year and he's the second all time leading scorer in Georgia 621 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:14,159 high school basketball history. Yeah, man, put them in the Hall of 622 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:19,639 Fame. Will are you against it? I'm with it? Like so I 623 00:43:20,079 --> 00:43:23,159 get that. I get that people's arguments are kind of like where do you 624 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:28,760 draw the line? You know, like with with these players like say Lou 625 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,400 Will and Jamal Crawford get in, you know, like where does it stop? 626 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,760 Exactly Like what I would say though, that for me, the Hall 627 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,880 of Fame criteria is already like you know, who's definitely getting in right kind 628 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:44,440 with like eight All Star appearances, Like they're gonna get in, Like that's 629 00:43:44,519 --> 00:43:47,480 cool. I think that like for me, like part of it should not 630 00:43:47,559 --> 00:43:52,000 just be accolades, but how they sort of transformed the game, you know 631 00:43:52,079 --> 00:43:54,320 what I mean, Like that to me is as important. And I think 632 00:43:54,440 --> 00:44:00,440 that the way Lou Will and Jamal Crawford impacted the way that position is played 633 00:44:00,559 --> 00:44:02,519 because now, I mean they kind of change how the sixth Man of the 634 00:44:02,599 --> 00:44:07,440 Year award is even given right now, it's like best bench orror and you 635 00:44:07,519 --> 00:44:08,960 know, for better or worse, if you're if you're against that sort of 636 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:13,599 thing. But I think that that impact should also be reflected in the Hall 637 00:44:13,639 --> 00:44:16,599 of Fame, Like why wouldn't it be isn't Genoba getting in? Yeah? 638 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:21,639 Yeah, yeah, he's also I think multiple champions, So like, yes, 639 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,039 that that's you think he's a multiple champion. I think I wasn't there, 640 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,239 sure, not sure the video. I wasn't there. I saw him 641 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:34,920 catch that bad I know that was real. That in the moon landing, 642 00:44:35,119 --> 00:44:38,320 pretty sure. I'm pretty sure they heard what they're what they're saying is true. 643 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,559 Then yeah, it happened. But yeah, they got to be in 644 00:44:40,599 --> 00:44:46,920 the half. Anytime you win a major NBA award three times, yeah, 645 00:44:47,159 --> 00:44:51,960 I think it's pretty difficult to argue that person just shouldn't be an All of 646 00:44:52,079 --> 00:44:58,159 Fame. Teams have to set there, Uh have to set there? What 647 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,280 am I trying to say? Not line up, but have to change their 648 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:04,199 game plan for both of those guys. Yeah, even though they're not the 649 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,519 starter on the team, they have to change their game plan for both of 650 00:45:06,559 --> 00:45:08,000 them. Who they who they first subban, who their sixth man is going 651 00:45:08,079 --> 00:45:10,679 to be? All that type of stuff. So yeah, I don't think 652 00:45:10,679 --> 00:45:15,119 they don't need to be first ballot like immediately after they retire, but like, 653 00:45:15,559 --> 00:45:16,559 you know how they do. You know how when you're watching the NFL 654 00:45:16,679 --> 00:45:22,280 Hall of Fame induction everything, who the hell is that guy? Yeah? 655 00:45:23,079 --> 00:45:27,719 Uh, someone's asking, are we serious? Nobody's way more accomplished than new 656 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,000 Will and Jamal. We know that, we know that we were not making 657 00:45:30,039 --> 00:45:34,920 that. We were not making a COMPETI not making a comparison. This is 658 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,400 the issue that I have with this shit go off, Like people just want 659 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:42,400 to argue, right, are you serious? We didn't say we did not 660 00:45:42,559 --> 00:45:46,280 say that. I mentioned his name because he was a sixth man and we 661 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:50,639 said he was very good. And when multiple Charles followed up with I think 662 00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,079 he won championship, yeah, we also think that the earth is round. 663 00:45:54,519 --> 00:45:59,119 No, come on, man, we're not trying to argue this. We're 664 00:45:59,159 --> 00:46:01,159 not saying that. Yeah, I'm not saying that they should all be in 665 00:46:01,199 --> 00:46:05,320 the Hall of Fame. Everybody, everybody who's ever stepped on an NBA court, 666 00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,079 including myself. I got a picture of me on NBA court. I 667 00:46:07,079 --> 00:46:13,239 should be in the Hall of Fame. Is out there? Yeah, all 668 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,679 right, we're talking betting lines now. Since Adam is gone, you can't 669 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:22,519 talk about this stuff from Draft Kings sports book. Uh. The Clippers odds 670 00:46:22,599 --> 00:46:27,480 to win the twenty three twenty four NBA Finals are plus eighteen hundred, So 671 00:46:27,559 --> 00:46:31,679 if you're bet one hundred bucks, you will win eighteen hundred dollars. Uh. 672 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:37,119 Fair or unfair As of August twenty fifth at four pm. I think 673 00:46:37,159 --> 00:46:39,800 it's a little overfair. Oh you're saying, you're saying smash that, but 674 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:45,239 take that bet. Yeah, take that one hundred eight hundred. I'm not 675 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,559 mad at that. Yeah, you're taking that every time? Yeah, every 676 00:46:47,639 --> 00:46:51,480 time, doesn't matter what the bet is. I'll take it every bed, 677 00:46:51,559 --> 00:46:57,000 every time. And I'm also going to the Hall of Fame four yea, 678 00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:02,760 I will. Are you Are you putting that hundred down? Absolutely not? 679 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,880 Absolutely not. You think the odds should be better or worse? Uh? 680 00:47:08,559 --> 00:47:14,079 Maybe I feel like maybe slightly horriors. I think someone in the chat I 681 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:20,119 apologize, I showed it up. It was Eugene. They said that it 682 00:47:20,199 --> 00:47:22,320 was like plus two thousand, which actually feels a little bit more accurate. 683 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:29,360 Yeah, I think and we don't like Kauai is gonna be ready that's what 684 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:34,159 they say. I mean because like, so plus eighteen hundred, that roughly 685 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,119 equates to what like a one in eighteen chance that they win the NBA Finals. 686 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,800 Sure, I don't feel like it's that. I don't know that it's 687 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:47,360 that high. You think one in twenty kind damn? All right, let's 688 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:51,320 take it down a notch. Clippers odds to win the twenty three twenty four 689 00:47:51,360 --> 00:48:00,280 Western Conference plus two thousands. Actually, I'm gonna recant on this. I'm 690 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:05,360 sorry. I feel like I feel they're serious. I feel like they have 691 00:48:05,679 --> 00:48:09,800 a better chance of winning the finals than they do the Western Conference. And 692 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:17,039 you know, it sounds crazy, crazy, like the odds if we if 693 00:48:17,119 --> 00:48:21,320 we beat whatever team is on the other side of us in that West Conference 694 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:27,360 finals, Phoenix Denver, the other LA team Denver, if you go through, 695 00:48:27,559 --> 00:48:30,639 if you go through like Phoenix Denver. I mean even like, let's 696 00:48:30,639 --> 00:48:32,480 say as Zion's healthy, the Pelicans are good, uh, you know, 697 00:48:32,599 --> 00:48:36,119 fully healthy, Grizzlies, like you know, there's a thunder, aren't going 698 00:48:36,199 --> 00:48:38,480 to be shitty. Yeah, there's a lot of tough teams that you could 699 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:42,400 have to go through, not that there aren't in the East, but I 700 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,480 like I'm liking whoever comes out of the West to win the whole thing. 701 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:50,719 Okay, and then talk about division. This is where the real This is 702 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,000 where you know, you're a complete lunatic if you're This is where my degenerate 703 00:48:53,079 --> 00:48:57,360 gambler. Yeah, this is where the degenerates rat the l A Clippers odds 704 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:05,960 to win the Pacific Division next year plus five fifty one. M h yeah, 705 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,400 I'll take that Phoenix. You got the other LA team, you got 706 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:14,400 the Dubs, you got the Kings, you got us. Never mind, 707 00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:22,559 I'm gonna recan't bro. The pactive is gonna be a damn nightmare next year. 708 00:49:22,679 --> 00:49:25,079 The NBA's gonna be a nightmare. I'm not watching. You're not You're 709 00:49:25,119 --> 00:49:28,960 out. I'm checking. I'm checking out at the super Bowl. I'm checking 710 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,880 out a sports at the Super Bowl. Uh Will? Where are you out? 711 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:36,800 On these pactive betting? Are you putting that that, Benjamin, they 712 00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,400 have a one in five chance to win the division? Yeah, I mean 713 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:42,639 that seems pretty reasonable, all right, So you're putting that hundred down? 714 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:49,760 Yes, okay, that's fair. Yeah. Man, God, I wish 715 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,320 the division. Well I haven't, I don't. I can't remember on the 716 00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,480 schedule. Off the top of my head, how many of the Pacific Division 717 00:49:54,519 --> 00:49:58,239 games are played at noon? And how many are played in that span where 718 00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,199 we play one quarter of the season in the same Oh, let me check 719 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:07,239 out the Clippers. That's a have you looked at any of this stuff at 720 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,079 all? There's one month in which the Clippers play a quarter of the entire 721 00:50:10,159 --> 00:50:15,639 season. Seven. I sent y'all that that TikTok of the woman saying we're 722 00:50:15,639 --> 00:50:20,320 the most hated team. We are Finally somebody outside of our fan base says 723 00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,400 it, were you trying to get on Live and be like, hey, 724 00:50:22,519 --> 00:50:24,719 well I was trying to. I was trying to share that in my story, 725 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,400 but she didn't. She has her she has that turned off. She 726 00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,639 probably gets a lot of hate because she's a woman in sports. But unfortunately, 727 00:50:32,039 --> 00:50:37,000 Yeah, but sometimes I also see her talking some bullshit, so she 728 00:50:37,079 --> 00:50:42,679 deserves to hate on those days. But it definitely there are times where like 729 00:50:43,559 --> 00:50:45,960 it feels like only we are saying, like there's got to be some conspiracy 730 00:50:46,039 --> 00:50:50,360 out against us. And so I'm happy that somebody who doesn't like us, 731 00:50:50,679 --> 00:50:52,920 because I assume she's a Laker fan, because that's what most people who get 732 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:58,039 online and talk sports are or Laker fans. Uh. She is even saying 733 00:50:58,079 --> 00:51:00,239 like, wow, this has to be the most hated team. Well, 734 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:04,639 we have what like forty percent more air travel miles than like any other team. 735 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,760 So in March, no pactive games, none, we don't play a 736 00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:15,079 single divisional opponent. It's all Eastern Conference teams except for Dallas and Portland. 737 00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:23,800 Damn. However, in April we play Sacramento once and Phoenix twice. Man, 738 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,719 the end of the season is gonna be. It's it's gonna be a 739 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,360 test. It's gonna be. And then the last thing I want to talk 740 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:34,000 about Coach Bell. I don't know if you guys remember coach Bell. He's 741 00:51:34,039 --> 00:51:36,440 going to the Suns. He's doing with the Clippers for like seven years or 742 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:40,199 something like that. Kind of a interesting loss. I thought he's just been 743 00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:47,599 a figure on the Clippers ciling for a very long time. Okay, dude 744 00:51:47,679 --> 00:51:53,719 was super cool. Carl.
