That was over on at Clippers podcast on YouTube. 4 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:30,280 Adam came through at work, which was fun. He showed up. Wow, 5 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,200 he showed some leg which was on. But I am Chuck Lockler. 6 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,880 Adam Oslin is here. William Uptick is also here.

Some people were 9 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,719 upset with how it ended. I don't know if I am. We're gonna 10 00:00:48,759 --> 00:00:54,560 look at Clippers versus Celtics, which is a noon thirtier tomorrow, which is 11 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,200 not usually ideal for the Clippers. We're gonna talk Kawhi Leonard being first team 12 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:03,719 All NBA, and we're bringing back Mari Quarantine for the veteran listeners. Before 13 00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:06,920 we get into it, Adam will We'll start with Adam. How we doing, 14 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,239 how we feel in the day after the streak is over. I'm good. 15 00:01:10,719 --> 00:01:15,359 If you guys are wondering, I'm wearing pants, some sweats. I 16 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,200 saw some pink liquid. I saw some pink liquid in a bottle. Hey, 17 00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:23,599 those are sick. It's a pre workout drink that has some caffeine in 18 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,280 it, Just to give myself a little Adam sipping on the walk. If 19 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:36,079 you if you're not watching, this is what they call cississs syrup. Cisis 20 00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:41,760 is syrup syrup? Like? Uh, Will? How is Montana? Are 21 00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:45,719 you spreading the Gospel and the Clippers to Laurel Montana? Oh as much as 22 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,799 I can. Yeah, Laurel billains whole, the whole of the hub of 23 00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:53,439 of Central Montana. Hell yeah, we're gonna rope that thing off and it's 24 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,040 gonna be Clippers country soon. Looks like they put you in the attic from 25 00:01:57,079 --> 00:02:00,599 the slant of the ceiling. That's what this was. Yeah, this is 26 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:06,120 the this is the spare room. Got my got my heavy bag behind me. 27 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,680 Don't press me today, Adam, don't press me today. I got 28 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,599 some takes. Well, I can't see the other side, but Adam's face 29 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:21,000 is plastim What is happening? What's with the animosity? The fin streak ends 30 00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:23,879 and things go off, the rails off, Chuck, that's what's happening. 31 00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:28,000 I don't know what's going on, how do we how do we feel about 32 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,199 the way that game ended? Adam, you came on the live stream a 33 00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:32,439 little bit last night. We didn't get into the game as a whole, 34 00:02:32,479 --> 00:02:37,000 but some people felt some type of way about how the Clippers played. But 35 00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:38,520 I think with the schedule and who was out, it's kind of to be 36 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,840 expected. They were down thirteen in the first quarter, they battled back. 37 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,479 They were down fourteen in the second quarter, they battled back. It was 38 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,919 that third quarter stretch where they went scoreless for about three minutes. Chit had 39 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,800 the alley up off the backboard to himself, yes, and all of a 40 00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:02,840 sudden, the Clippers started to lose the distance they had closed on the OKC 41 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,639 thunder last night. But I thought overall, this was a game to me 42 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,879 that if they had played it earlier in the season, the first quarter may 43 00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:16,120 have broke them, like what we saw in Dallas earlier this year early on 44 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:23,120 with James Harden, where basically that first punch they took turned into a knockout. 45 00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:27,639 I think that's what would have happened. But this team is competing, 46 00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:30,919 playing hard, and I know it's not the result you wanted, and they 47 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:36,000 had to wave the white flag earlier in the fourth quarter, but I was 48 00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:39,120 okay with their competitive spirit overall. It wasn't a team that looked like to 49 00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:44,919 me that had one foot out the door and was satisfied with getting two wins 50 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,199 on this road trip. It looked like they were still fighting. We talked 51 00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:51,120 about that last night. Like I thought, even though you know, it 52 00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:53,719 was disappointed to see an end of the streak, through body language on the 53 00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:59,439 floor was a lot different, and while the defense wasn't what we've come to 54 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,919 expect through that winning streak, I just think it was very clear, and 55 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,759 again not to make excuses, but it was just very clear that this is 56 00:04:05,759 --> 00:04:10,800 an older team that was a little tired out, was really having trouble staying 57 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,120 in front of Oklahoma City there they were just a slice into the rim at 58 00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:18,399 ease. But I thought through all of that, and despite especially that that 59 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:26,920 first quarter of like insane eighty forty, it was just, I mean, 60 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,360 we did not see the team have like the sort of collapse of poise that 61 00:04:31,399 --> 00:04:34,399 we saw them have previously in game. So I think, like you know, 62 00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:38,519 this isn't even an encouraging loss. To me, It's not quite in 63 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,240 that category. But it's not an alarming loss. I'll say that. Yeah, 64 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,720 when Josh Giddy, who shoots thirty one percent from the outside, goes 65 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,839 three of three in the first quarter, got injured, did play anymore, 66 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,720 but the damage was really done. That was big. They got that jolt 67 00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:55,279 from him and out of the gates, and the Clippers game plan was, 68 00:04:55,399 --> 00:04:59,519 okay, take away everything else, let Josh Giddy shoot, and he burned 69 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,759 him. That's a game plan you can live with. It's just unfortunate the 70 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:08,480 numbers weren't in their favor. We've seen Jonas Valenciunis be the Josh Giddy before. 71 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,319 We've seen a lot of people be the Josh Gutty before, where it's 72 00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:14,399 like, whatever, man, if they're gonna make those shots, that's how 73 00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:16,680 we're gonna lose this game. Because you don't want to overcompensate too much on 74 00:05:16,759 --> 00:05:21,639 that. What was your favorite? I guess what's the most impressive win for 75 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,199 you guys? From this nine game win streak that the Clippers had. There's 76 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,160 some good wines in there. It's a solid win streak against some legitimate teams. 77 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,759 It we talked about last year's longest win streak, which had two wins 78 00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:38,759 against the Spurs inside of it. This one has a much more robust body 79 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:46,160 of work for this Clippers team. I'd go I mean, the first one 80 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,480 that comes to mind when you're talking most impressive is beating Denver with them fully 81 00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:55,120 healthy, and the way they had to close that game with disrupting their pick 82 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,399 and roll with Kawhi in Big Zoo, just wrecking jokicch and Jamal Murray and 83 00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:02,480 a pick and roll that has looked unstoppable for a few years now, and 84 00:06:02,519 --> 00:06:08,120 it looked like the Clippers actually have a solution for it now. So I'd 85 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,079 have to go with that. There's been a lot of them, I mean, 86 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,720 a lot of good victories. Beating up the Kings, beating up the 87 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,319 Golden State Warriors twice. I mean the twenty two point comeback against Golden State. 88 00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:23,879 That was something born out of this, I guess, because that was 89 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:30,720 the start of the nine game road trip, right loss. I hope not. 90 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,920 I don't. I don't. We'll find out tomorrow, Adam, what's 91 00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:36,879 the opposite If something was born out of this, something died tonight, that's 92 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:45,319 what would be the opposite, right, pretty clear? I like the I 93 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,480 like the Dubs pick That's a good one because that really is that comeback right 94 00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:54,079 before the Denver game. That's a that's something they can point remember to even 95 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,240 if things get a little lower this season than right now. I like that 96 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,800 Dubs pick a lot. I might selfishly go just from the level we saw 97 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:06,600 Kawhi hit late in the game the game against Dallas, I was gonna say 98 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,120 a couple of years ago, Yeah, that fourth quarter, dude, Kawhi 99 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,240 was just like, Okay, we're gonna win this game now, thank you 100 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,079 so much for coming. We appreciate you being here. Other team, I'm 101 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,720 going to win. We're going like that for me was Kawi has been phenomenal 102 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,639 through this winning streak, obviously, but that was somehow yet another level of 103 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,639 Kawhi ness against the team that I also hate, so Grant Williams. The 104 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,279 Pacers win was great too, But that dunk with the left hands he blew 105 00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:40,680 by Derek Jones Junior. The explosiveness late in the game from Kawhi Leonard, 106 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,360 I don't know if we've seen it to that degree since the torn acl Yeah, 107 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,560 definitely. Yeah. The physically he's just looking he continues to do his 108 00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:53,720 Kawhi ramp up and it's it's looking phenomenal. Will you brought up the Pacers 109 00:07:53,759 --> 00:07:56,319 game, PACER's game to me, that was just I mean, I know, 110 00:07:56,519 --> 00:08:00,399 no, Miles Turner, I to me, that wasn't I that's not 111 00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:03,839 making that big of a difference in that game to me, Like, I 112 00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:07,879 mean not, you know, like yeah on him. I can see the 113 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,079 argument. I'm not saying it would have, you know, like I we 114 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,920 might not have put up one fifty one on them or whatever, but I 115 00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:22,199 will just call him Tina Turner. I can't believe that. Sad. Yeah, 116 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,560 but seeing Harden in that fourth quarter, I mean, that was just 117 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,800 just another level. And that was a game that was just one of those 118 00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:33,120 games that we talked about coming into it. Like I would have been totally 119 00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:37,759 fine to have dropped, like a you know, a reasonably healthy Pacers team 120 00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:41,759 on the you know, on the run that they're on offensively obviously defensively not 121 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,559 quite there. That would have been an understandable loss to me. But to 122 00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:50,639 win in such a convincing fashion and to keep that win streak alive, I 123 00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:54,960 thought that was really something. And reckon Tyrese Halliburton, who I think was 124 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,159 three of twelve in that game, absolutely. And the defense on Luca early 125 00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:01,440 is the other thing I liked from the MAVs game. He was very cold 126 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,679 early in that game with nine of twenty five. I think he only had 127 00:09:05,799 --> 00:09:09,600 seven of his thirty points in the second half. Clippers give guards trouble, 128 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,440 Like if you're on a hot streak and your guard you cannot be that site 129 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:20,759 on playing Damian Lillard never beat the Clippers. It was great, uh And 130 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:26,000 the defense this kind of transitions into something we talked about this a little bit 131 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,399 before we started looking a little too far ahead, perhaps should the Clippers make 132 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:35,440 the playoffs. What did we like kind of playoff wise that we could see 133 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,320 really translating down the road. For me, we just talked the defense on 134 00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:43,879 Luca. The defense on Jokic was really nice to see. We threw him 135 00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:46,279 multiple looks in the win against that. I think I was most encouraged by 136 00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:52,279 the defense on the stretch, probably because Kahi was playing so well. Yeah, 137 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:58,919 definitely in spurts, although I was just pulling some defensive numbers into why 138 00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:03,720 stunk. According to Adam No, where's the love, guys, It's December 139 00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:09,919 twenty second, but they're just fifteenth defensively over their last ten games and over 140 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:16,159 their last five they're twenty fourth. Now they were first offensively during that period 141 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,120 in their last five games. But you know, you don't want to have 142 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:28,759 too much slippash there. This is BS. You just want to stay because 143 00:10:28,759 --> 00:10:31,279 that's their identity. That's how they turn this thing around. Yes, it 144 00:10:31,399 --> 00:10:35,320 was their defense. Now, they played some really good offensive teams, so 145 00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:41,440 some of it's to be expected, but twenty fourth defensively over their last five 146 00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:46,320 games. And look, they took on the Pacers. Okay, see Dallas 147 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,240 was in that stretch, the Knicks and the Warriors. Those were the teams 148 00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:56,360 they saw during those five games. So good offenses overall, some real, 149 00:10:56,639 --> 00:11:00,440 real good offenses. Obviously the Pacers number one in the league. But you 150 00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:03,519 just want to be careful. Something worth monitoring, I guess is fair, 151 00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:07,320 is how I'll put it. I think that's I think that is a fair 152 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,080 concern or not a fair thing to monitor. I think the defense that identity 153 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,320 point, I think is a really good call because you don't want them to 154 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,840 go, Oh, our offense is here. Now we're the best offense in 155 00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:20,679 the league, and now we can hang our hat on that and forget about 156 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,440 defense. Yeah, that's what I don't want. Those two things have to 157 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,919 come together. I like that. Yeah, it was kind of a little 158 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,360 up and down this stretch. One would really be firing, one would take 159 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,320 off of it. But that does kind of make sense given you know, 160 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,399 the starting mashup against and Harden coming into his own a lot more during this 161 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,039 win streak too, which was really cool to see. That was one of 162 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:46,559 my favorite parts. Yeah, and they're still over their last eighteen games since 163 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,720 the new starting lineup. Their top ten offense, top ten defense, but 164 00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:56,480 they're tenth defensively there where they were just five kid games ago. Yeah, 165 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:03,519 kissing five the top five will what did you like, maybe kind of playoff 166 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,440 down the road Wise from this this wind streak, we just got our first 167 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:13,000 glimpses of like what this offense can actually look like when it's clicking. I 168 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,559 think that was one of the things that was so disheartening about the losing streak. 169 00:12:16,759 --> 00:12:20,120 We knew that it would take time with James Harden, it just feels 170 00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:24,919 like there wasn't It didn't seem like there was a lot of linear progress, 171 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,600 and now all of a sudden, we're seeing something like completely different. We're 172 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,279 seeing more ball movement. We're seeing sort of the idea for how, you 173 00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:37,000 know, how Harden is going to handle the ball, and you know George 174 00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:39,159 and Kawhi are both going to be able to get their shots off and around 175 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,320 that. Tyleru has talked about it, but I just thought it was very, 176 00:12:43,399 --> 00:12:46,480 very apparent. I feel like we saw more ball movement in the last 177 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:52,399 nine games than we did in the entirety of the previous season combined. So 178 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,320 last ten games, I guess, but yeah, yeah, yeah. The 179 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,559 Harden zoom pick and roll opens up a lot of other stuff for the Clippers, 180 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,159 which is really cool to see. Adam I think he pointed out that 181 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:07,159 pass that Harden hit a mer with in the corner against the Thunder last night, 182 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,000 and I think Amir missed the three, but it was a hard and 183 00:13:09,039 --> 00:13:11,480 pick and roll to Zoo and it was it was just a perfect read. 184 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,879 It was split second. It was nice to see. I know Adam's answer 185 00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:18,240 to this, did a mere coffee do enough in the stretch to earn some 186 00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:26,080 real playoff run? I think he might have. He knows playoff lineups are 187 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,440 often determined in December, so I know, but he's Alway's got like PJ 188 00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:33,919 Tucker's not playing in the playoffs. I think we know that. I don't 189 00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:37,840 know that. Yeah, I actually don't know that. I'm gonna lose. 190 00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:39,320 I don't. Okay, that's no, no, no no. Against the 191 00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:43,799 right matchup for five to ten minutes against somebody like Yo Kicher Zion, I 192 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,639 would be fine with throwing PJ. Tucker out there. His defense is still 193 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,240 good, Zion, sure, yokitch. I guess yeah, I guess I'll 194 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,559 have to see it. Maybe I'm so sour because we haven't seen him play 195 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,399 any meaningful basketball. It's on YouTube from the last couple of months if you 196 00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:00,120 want to check it out. When the Glimmers have played their best, he 197 00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:05,159 hasn't been there, so color me a little bit skeptical. We saw some 198 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,159 people say the Powell Rangers lineup, as you talked about Adam, they've been 199 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:15,320 number one offensively. That lineup has really helped things you talked about defense. 200 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,559 That lineup has a pretty easy person to hunt at the point of attack, 201 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,519 which is Norman Powell. And we have some comments on the stream yesterday talking 202 00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:26,600 about how maybe that lineup in the playoffs won't be as effective. But I'm 203 00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:31,399 just enjoying the Powell Rangers ride. There's no reason to not get excited about 204 00:14:31,399 --> 00:14:33,240 this, and I think Norm Powell will win the Clippers a playoff game at 205 00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:39,559 some point. I think Norm Powell's defense has been much better to start off 206 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:45,039 this season. He said it training camp that the team wasn't looking for him 207 00:14:45,039 --> 00:14:48,399 to wait to start playing defense until they make the playoffs. It needs to 208 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,120 start from game one, and I think overall he's looked better in that respect, 209 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:58,080 and that's why the Powell Rangers lineup I think is somewhere in the nineties 210 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,840 with their defensive RGN, and I don't think it's my nineties. It's with 211 00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:05,799 like ninety three ninety four. Yeah, it's a pretty crazy D rating. 212 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,519 I mean, the best team defensive rating in the NBA is like one O 213 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:18,120 seven and them with that Powell Rangers lineup is somewhere around ninety five. Start 214 00:15:18,159 --> 00:15:24,399 PJ start Norm the ultimate will combination in the playoffs. Who says no? 215 00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:33,080 All right? Any last notes on the end of the win streak. I 216 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,519 would like to say, maybe if things don't go as smoothly as they have 217 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,600 later on down the season, let's remember this time and what we saw from 218 00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:43,799 the Clippers and the development we saw on how good this team could actually be. 219 00:15:43,559 --> 00:15:46,519 Let's remember fondly on these times. Would be my advice to people, 220 00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:50,519 Yeah, just don't overreact. If they lose to Boston and all of a 221 00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:54,600 sudden it's two losses in a row. Now, if they then lost Charlotte 222 00:15:54,639 --> 00:16:00,399 too, if they lost to Charlotte and Memphis afterwards, that's my much more 223 00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:07,039 concerning sure, but I'm more worried about they got to a point where you 224 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,200 could say, Okay, we're back to if there's good process and they lose, 225 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,639 it doesn't feel as bad. It's not just about you gotta win tonight. 226 00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:18,600 Regardless, they're too far down the standings. That nine game winning streak 227 00:16:18,679 --> 00:16:22,600 got them back to that place maybe we thought they would be to start off 228 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:27,000 the season where they were three to nine or whatever it was. They ended 229 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,720 up making up for that six game losing streak, and now they're kind of 230 00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:36,480 in that position where we thought they could be given the adjustment period with James 231 00:16:36,519 --> 00:16:41,279 Harden now and just that transitional phase seventeen and eleven is solid. They're top 232 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,879 five right now in the West, and they're within striking distance of being top 233 00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:51,120 two. Yeah, I'm glad that you bring that up, because I do 234 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,759 think as they continue to stack up wins and win in bunches like this, 235 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,519 they get a little bit more breathing room, which is obviously great just from 236 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,519 a perspective of comfortability as a as a Clippers. But we talked about this 237 00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:06,079 a little bit on the stream last night, so I'm not gonna retread too 238 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,720 much ground here in case if you're listening to this you already saw that. 239 00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:12,839 But it did it did get me thinking about, especially that game in Oklahoma 240 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:19,720 City, about how there is actually, with the talent level of this team. 241 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,920 You know, once we're in a comfortable standing, there is minutes like 242 00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:30,680 actual developmental minutes for guys lower down in the rotation that I did not think 243 00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:34,119 were there a couple of weeks ago, you know, real obvious one to 244 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,160 point to is a mere coffee seeing him get some minutes and and good minutes, 245 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,279 you know, not just time minutes like actual minutes. And that's one 246 00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:45,000 of those things that, uh, you know, when they're a little bit 247 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,880 more comfortable in the standings, or if they you know, stand pat where 248 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,480 they are in the standings, it's not crazy to have one of two on 249 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,400 three rest a game to throw a few more minutes to bones Hyland, to 250 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,640 give some of these other guys some real opportunities, which from where we were 251 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,920 on that losing streak and where we were in the standings just felt like something 252 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,599 that was so far out of reach. I really just I couldn't even wrap 253 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,759 my head around it because there were so many issues with the main players that 254 00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:15,720 it was like it you know, it wasn't even something I could bother to 255 00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:21,000 think about. But that is something that's actually really exciting to me, is 256 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,440 if this is one of those teams that can you know, night in, 257 00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:29,119 night out put away teams, I mean, especially lesser teams in you know, 258 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,240 three quarters of play from your main guys, that starts to get really 259 00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:37,000 interesting in terms of what you can do with some of these other rotation guys 260 00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:41,519 and sort of you know, we're talking about playoffs in December, like your 261 00:18:41,519 --> 00:18:45,160 playoff rotations could look a lot different if you can make meaningful minutes for some 262 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:51,559 of these guys who could actually figure in to soaking up some minutes in a 263 00:18:51,599 --> 00:18:55,839 playoff series. And I should point out as much as I had a little 264 00:18:55,839 --> 00:19:00,839 bit of concern over the defensive numbers recently, somebody on Twitter hit me up 265 00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:06,119 like he was listening to the show, and we were still alive. Surprisingly 266 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,279 al Ray, they're not outside your window, are they? No? Okay, 267 00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:17,079 I'm keeping you safe. Man. Rich eighty nine wisely pointed out that 268 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:22,240 a couple of those fourth quarters against New York and against Indiana it was garbage 269 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,880 time minutes and the Clippers gave up a ton of points. Yeah, so 270 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:32,400 you take out some of the inconsequential time minutes, obviously the defensive rating would 271 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,519 look a little bit better over the last five, last ten games. That's 272 00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:37,319 a good call. Shout out. All right, thank you for that. 273 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,240 All right, coming up, we're gonna have an ad break. These have 274 00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:45,160 been loud for some people. People have been yelling at me on Twitter that 275 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,440 the ads were loud, and I say, we gave you a warning. 276 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,440 I don't know what you want me to do. We got ads coming up, 277 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,799 and then we're talking the twelve thirty game against the Celtics, which feels 278 00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:57,720 a little odd, and then some quil entered first team all NBA stuff, 279 00:19:57,759 --> 00:20:00,920 all of that and coming up more, all of that, more coming up 280 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:07,119 after these ads in three two what all right, welcome back into clips and 281 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,279 dip. We talked a little bit about the win streak, which is now 282 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,519 snapped. But now we're looking ahead to the Clippers, the rest of the 283 00:20:14,519 --> 00:20:18,519 Clippers schedule to close out twenty twenty three, and no better place to start 284 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,359 than Saturday. First, Boston, Adam, you wanted to add this to 285 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,240 the rundown, which you definitely read. Where'd you like to kick off things 286 00:20:26,279 --> 00:20:32,119 on Boston? I like the sarcasm there. Well, there's a lot of 287 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,599 interesting points to make here. First of all, Jason Tatum turned his ankle 288 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,599 against the Golden State Warriors. He didn't play against Sacramento in a game they 289 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,759 still won where they shot over fifty percent from the outside. Recently, but 290 00:20:45,839 --> 00:20:48,559 they're only one game over five hundred on the road, I want to say 291 00:20:48,559 --> 00:20:52,759 they're seven and six. They haven't been as dominant there. And if you 292 00:20:52,839 --> 00:20:57,480 look at some of the advanced numbers I mentioned the Clippers over the last ten 293 00:20:57,559 --> 00:21:03,960 games, while well, they're fifteenth defensively, Boston is eleventh, but the 294 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:08,880 Clippers are the last ten, number one offense, and Boston during that stretch. 295 00:21:10,599 --> 00:21:14,839 You gotta scroll down a little bit. In fact, I'm trying. 296 00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:17,839 Are you having to switch pages? Is that how far down they are? 297 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,880 Are you having to go to next page? No? Why this turn into 298 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:26,279 a where's pauldo? Oh, I'm being sarcastic. They're right behind the Clippers. 299 00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:30,279 They're right next to them in offensive rating, and if you go to 300 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,359 pace of play, these two teams are right next to each other. Recently 301 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:41,759 over the last eighteen games with the Clippers' new starting lineup Boston and them, 302 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,960 I think they're both right next to each other. Yeah, in pace of 303 00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:51,880 play and they're both yeah, Clippers nineteenth and pace of play, Boston twentieth. 304 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,680 Pace of play. So there's a lot of similarities and ways to compare 305 00:21:55,759 --> 00:22:00,200 these teams right now. But Kristaps Porzingis is playing amazing basketball. A lot 306 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,640 of people thought last season in DC with the Washington Wizards, Oh are those 307 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,480 empty numbers? No, they're not. They are translating to winning. Now 308 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:12,480 with the Boston Celtics. He's shooting forty two percent from three over his last 309 00:22:12,519 --> 00:22:17,319 ten games. He's just been a beast. And they're a matchup problem because 310 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,279 they can their starting lineup when Jason Tatum is there. We'll see about tomorrow, 311 00:22:21,279 --> 00:22:23,160 but they can stretch you out. They can go five out with their 312 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:29,079 starting lineup. Not many teams, if any can say that, can boast 313 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,960 that Boston is pretty unique in that way. It feels like every year, 314 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,839 excuse me, of the two one three era, the Celtics and Clippers are. 315 00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:38,960 It's kind of like looking in a mirror personnel wise. Right there, 316 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,440 Team Mane guys are two big wings. Our Team Maine guys are two big 317 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:47,599 wings. Like it's it's always been very kind of like Clippers west over there, 318 00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:52,519 Kawhi. They just released the injured port questionable for the game against the 319 00:22:52,519 --> 00:22:56,279 Celtics. PG not on the report, so his tummy is all good. 320 00:22:56,319 --> 00:23:00,920 Norm Palace should be healthy to go. But if Kawhi can't go, the 321 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:07,759 Kris staphs porzingis problem seems bigger to deal with. Wait, what the F 322 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,240 is this? I'm seeing Kris STAPs porzingis is out? Wait do you want 323 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,440 to screen share? I don't know how to do that. I can't read 324 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:21,319 the rundown. I can't screen share screenshare for the old man hold on oh 325 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:29,319 left ankle sprain game eighteen minutes ago. It just happened justin Russo eighteen minutes 326 00:23:29,319 --> 00:23:33,759 ago. Okay, well, not helping. It will you're gonna do that? 327 00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:42,000 Will are you gonna help? You're a time casual nineteen Now, time 328 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:47,519 casual is a very I am time casual. I think that is. I 329 00:23:47,519 --> 00:23:51,759 think that that's very fair. That is such a great term for people who 330 00:23:51,759 --> 00:24:00,000 were late all the time. Hannah times to Adam wonderful. Anyway, kristaphs 331 00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:03,319 for zingis out for tomorrow's game against the Clippers, while Jason Adam is still 332 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:10,599 questionable. Ooh, that's a bit of a spicy meatball. Given the time 333 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,000 for this one. Well, I'm guessing Kawhi Leonard doesn't play now. I 334 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,799 don't think they're gonna push it if he's questionable. And again, like we 335 00:24:17,839 --> 00:24:21,839 talked about last night, when Kawhi Leonard is actually rolling around in pain, 336 00:24:22,039 --> 00:24:26,759 it probably hurts pretty bad because he didn't even do that when he tores Acla, 337 00:24:26,319 --> 00:24:29,880 so you can say, oh, it's a bruise, it's a contusion. 338 00:24:30,079 --> 00:24:33,079 It's gotta be bad if Kawhi Leonard was looking like that. Do we 339 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:38,519 have any So this is shaping up to be a potential really wonky game. 340 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,559 It's not gonna be as indicative as we thought of some big head matchup where 341 00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:48,519 we can really you know, have a lot of takeaways from it and read 342 00:24:48,599 --> 00:24:52,079 into it and project forward of the playoffs or a possible finals matchup. That 343 00:24:52,160 --> 00:25:00,559 kind of bums me out. That that makes me sad. Well still white, 344 00:25:00,839 --> 00:25:04,160 Yeah, Jeeling Brown. Those guys lit up the Sacramento Kings. Pritchard 345 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,440 off the bench, had twenty plus points in that game. I believe as 346 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,799 well. He can be a he can be a spark book. He can 347 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,319 just start hitting three. It's insane. Put my Ducks hat on. You're 348 00:25:14,319 --> 00:25:18,519 gonna tell me about Peyton Pressure. He's great. I'm he's giving him praise. 349 00:25:18,599 --> 00:25:23,400 He's fine. He plays in the NBA, one of the top four 350 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,119 hundred and fifty players in the world. Chuck you how many? Chuck? 351 00:25:27,319 --> 00:25:33,680 I'm on your side. What's the stat that people always talk about where they're 352 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,559 like only four thousand people have played And that's like such a new stat that 353 00:25:37,599 --> 00:25:40,720 people have started bringing out this year. I feel like, of like only 354 00:25:40,759 --> 00:25:44,160 forty five hundred people have actually played in the NBA. It's like, okay, 355 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,319 still, big numbers aren't exactly easy to wrap your head around. So 356 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,319 this game, this game is is this game of toss up? Just forty 357 00:25:52,319 --> 00:25:56,359 five hundred the biggest number you can think of? Yeah, why else would 358 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,720 I need a bigger number? I've never seen more than forty five hundred dollars. 359 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,839 I've never spent more than forty five dred dollars on a car. Uh 360 00:26:06,279 --> 00:26:10,839 yeah, what's the biggest thing you can think of? Five? I got 361 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,000 that many receipts on me right now? Well, we know that that's it. 362 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,880 You could be like that, what's that old commercial where the guys wearing 363 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:22,480 all the receipts? There's an old money commercial. Luckily we're observing humility season 364 00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:25,920 right now. Sure is this game? This is like a weird toss up. 365 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,640 Now we're gonna need like this might have to be now the Clippers need 366 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,519 to win, Yeah, Clipers need to win if they don't have Tatum and 367 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,480 Chris staffs Porzing, Yes, just without Kawhi Leonard, even if they're just 368 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,839 missing one of those two guys. I'm gonna say, coming back home twelve 369 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:48,279 thirty start you want things to be different this season, start winning those twelve 370 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,160 thirty games. And to be honest, I've never really bought into the oh 371 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:57,720 woe is me twelve thirty start times? Only because of this nobody else really 372 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:03,279 has them like the Clippers. I understand it, but at what point can 373 00:27:03,279 --> 00:27:06,400 we get away from saying, you know, it just throws them off their 374 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,720 rhythm When they have so many of these twelve thirty starts, at what points 375 00:27:10,759 --> 00:27:14,000 should they be used to them? If we're always talking about how they have 376 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,720 them, that means they should probably be used to them by now and adjust. 377 00:27:18,039 --> 00:27:19,160 I mean, yeah, when it comes to a nooner game, the 378 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,400 Clippers are bane, they should be taking advantage. They should absolutely be taken 379 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,880 advantage of opponents at the at the twelve at the noon thirty game. They 380 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:33,559 were born in midday light, no one else because you haven't even adapted to 381 00:27:33,599 --> 00:27:41,039 it. They were walking on the sun like smash Mouth. Another rip. 382 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:47,559 You know what I think Boston might be doing though, I think they might 383 00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:52,400 be waiting for the Laker game on Monday, and they're gonna rest Jason Tatum 384 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,440 and Kris STAPs in this game for the big showcase against the Lakers on Christmas. 385 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:03,519 I big dogs in LA. No, it's about the NBA wanting to 386 00:28:03,559 --> 00:28:07,200 see those guys out there, and it could end up be in a similar 387 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,799 situation what we saw with the Knicks last weekend, where the Clippers take them 388 00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:14,480 out, and then they beat the Lakers. I would love to see that 389 00:28:14,519 --> 00:28:21,200 with Boston. That'd be a good time. So the Celtics game is should 390 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:26,000 maybe probably be a dub. The rest of the games in twenty twenty three 391 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,039 for the Clippers, they play the Hornets and then they played the Grizzlies, 392 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:34,319 a rejuvenated Grizzlies team with John Morant. He sets, yes, he does. 393 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,119 The Hornets. That should be a win, right, they better be 394 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,359 right. They're at home. The Hornets are one of the worst teams in 395 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,839 the league. You have to win that ballgame. You have to win that 396 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,279 ball game. It's at a normal time. If you want to be a 397 00:28:48,319 --> 00:28:52,279 top two seed, day have top three seed. That's a game where it 398 00:28:52,279 --> 00:28:55,759 would be nice to see the defensive rat and get a little loose in the 399 00:28:55,799 --> 00:29:00,079 fourth quarter because it's already put away. It would you know, we should 400 00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:04,440 dispatch Memphis. I feel like fairly easily as well too. I mean other 401 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:11,160 than Jared Jackson Junior, I mean who stopping anybody? I mean like defensively 402 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,640 though, like who's really stop anybody. I would love to see that be 403 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:18,960 a big Zoo game. No Steven Adams for Memphis. Like I know, 404 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,359 I mean no disrespect to Jah or anything, but like, the Grizzlies are 405 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,200 just not that good of a team right now. They they're down a lot 406 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,559 of guys. They lost a lot of guys in free agency. They're not 407 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,920 the team that they were last season in the season before, so I didn't 408 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:41,759 realize that they were only eight to nineteen. Yeah, they suck. Suck. 409 00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:45,319 No, I don't think they're gonna suck anymore. I think they are 410 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,960 going to slowly start creeping up the standings. I don't know if that means 411 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,480 they'll make the playoffs because they're in this big hole. But they got their 412 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,039 shot in the arm back with having job Morant, and they still have talent 413 00:29:56,079 --> 00:29:59,519 on the team. They still have Bane, they still have Marcus Smart. 414 00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:03,640 Now, like they're good, their record is not indicative of who they are 415 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,960 going to be. We get them in the midst of a pretty hellish scheduling 416 00:30:08,039 --> 00:30:15,240 situation. So they play It's Grizzlies Pelicans on the twenty sixth, Grizzly's Nuggets 417 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,079 on the twenty eighth, Then they come to La for Grizzlies Clippers the next 418 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:23,279 day. Okay, I like that a lot Okay, I'm not That sounds 419 00:30:23,319 --> 00:30:26,839 like a schedule loss for them. Yeah, that's making me feel a little 420 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:33,039 bit better about that matchup. So this feels like it's not crazy to think 421 00:30:33,079 --> 00:30:38,000 the Clippers could head in to twenty twenty four. Well, a little bit 422 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,680 of a wind streak going right three and oh would be pretty nice, pretty 423 00:30:41,759 --> 00:30:45,839 nice way to start the year. I would put them at twenty and eleven. 424 00:30:47,079 --> 00:30:48,240 I like that, it would be fun. And then the Clippers, 425 00:30:48,279 --> 00:30:52,559 of course were quite forty five hundred, but one fifteen hundredth of that, 426 00:30:55,119 --> 00:31:00,920 thank you, Wow, you are good at that. And then of course 427 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,559 the Clippers good at math mad at time. You know, it's my curse, 428 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:11,279 my curse, bro. Then of course the Clippers play on New Year's 429 00:31:11,359 --> 00:31:14,839 Day at seven point thirty, which I have no idea what to think about 430 00:31:14,839 --> 00:31:18,400 a New Year's Day game. So I like that night day night of New 431 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,680 Year's Day, New Year's Day night against the heat, which will feel good. 432 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:27,839 It can be a lot of people shopping. Why do people shop on 433 00:31:27,839 --> 00:31:36,240 new Esday? Probably like after New Year's Day sales, yeahday sales, New 434 00:31:36,319 --> 00:31:41,200 Year's Day sales generally car dealership does this, you moron? What are you 435 00:31:41,319 --> 00:31:45,079 so upset about I was just asking you. You called me out like it 436 00:31:45,119 --> 00:31:48,920 was something crazy. It's not. White people are going to be buying cars 437 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:55,440 instead of the game. Yeah they are. But in those cars that's con 438 00:31:55,559 --> 00:31:57,279 die buddy, that's actually great place to get a car. That's where we 439 00:31:57,359 --> 00:32:01,400 got our car. Shout out Russell Westbrook. Die still still Thunder colors though 440 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:07,640 on the license playholder they give you thunder Up for life. Oh the fucking 441 00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:13,599 talking about so we're feeling good about Oh, we gotta pick players of the 442 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,480 game, players of the game versus the Boston Celtics. Adam, who you're 443 00:32:17,519 --> 00:32:22,359 game? Okay, We'll pick James hard Will yelled out James Harden and picked 444 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:27,599 James Harden. He's back on his one word or two word answers, shaved 445 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,079 Harden. What should they do when? Yeah, uh, I'm gonna go 446 00:32:32,319 --> 00:32:40,400 with you know what, Monsta Zoo, Big Zoo, Big Zoo. Okay, 447 00:32:40,559 --> 00:32:45,599 he only played seventeen minutes against the Okac Thunder. They don't have Kris 448 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,319 STAPs Sporzingis, so he can't get pulled away from the basket with that stretch 449 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,160 five. I'm going with the beats of Zoo Boss to have a little fifteen 450 00:32:52,599 --> 00:32:57,599 and twelve game two glocks, just a little fifteen twelve and two. I 451 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,240 like that idea, all right, so will said James Harden. No logic 452 00:33:01,319 --> 00:33:05,960 just saying James Harden just picking him. Uh well, it just goes through 453 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,680 the same logic, like if one of two, one, three is down. 454 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,160 I really want to see Harden. I really want to see Harden be 455 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,680 taking the reins of the team. And obviously as a facilitator that's great to 456 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:21,920 see. Uh, but I like to see him empowered offensively, like as 457 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,319 a scorer, and I think that that I think that that's a good matchup 458 00:33:25,319 --> 00:33:29,960 for him. So, like we expected, logic and time casual don't go 459 00:33:30,079 --> 00:33:36,839 well together. Wow. I don't know what's happening. The pot is unraveling 460 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,920 as we hurtle towards twenty twenty four. I'm doing my math. Keep it 461 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,839 contentious. I no, not keep it contenttion. We're all flippering. We're 462 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:51,559 all tearing this pot apart, Lisa, I am picking someone who I really 463 00:33:51,599 --> 00:33:54,759 hope is good to end twenty twenty three to PJ. Tucker, Buddy, 464 00:33:54,880 --> 00:34:00,359 you did it. It's wow. Charles picked PJ. Tucker. I don't 465 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,599 like this new thing where you guys are somehow PJ. Tucker fans. It 466 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,320 makes no you are you picked Terrence Man. I'm tired of this tarrant. 467 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:13,719 The people are starting to maybe get a little too spic There's one on Terrence 468 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,760 Man in in clipper in Clipperland right now on the on the Clipper ship that 469 00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:22,280 uh yeah, he's if you can, he's looking like Byron's dog. If 470 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,039 you've read the wager, thank you. I was just about to reference the 471 00:34:25,079 --> 00:34:30,519 wager man genius. It's looking like Captain Cheap if you know about uh, 472 00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:35,360 if you know about the wager. But no, Arrence Man, I'm not 473 00:34:35,559 --> 00:34:37,360 asking him to have twenty points. He's just going to be efficient. He's 474 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,360 going to find a shot. He's going to be efficient. He's gonna help 475 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:45,840 boost this elderly Clippers team in this twelve thirty start. He's gonna hit his 476 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:51,360 first three. Terrence Man is going to have a bounce back game and people 477 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,760 are going to appreciate it, and they're gonna see how good he is a 478 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,599 point of attack defense too, because he's gonna help Clippers play good defense as 479 00:34:58,599 --> 00:35:01,039 well. Can we address this for a second, because Terrence Man has been 480 00:35:01,079 --> 00:35:05,760 a talking point over the last couple of days, especially after he struggled again 481 00:35:06,679 --> 00:35:09,760 in Okase in a game where they could have used him to catch that heater. 482 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:14,800 Finally, Uh, oh, get a little cat there, Yeah, 483 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,400 little gravy. Hey, what's up, Gravy? I remember you? You're 484 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,559 not hey? If you're not watching YouTube, you missed my my very cute 485 00:35:21,559 --> 00:35:24,679 small cat. It's over YouTube dot com slash at Clippers podcast. You know, 486 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,880 I hear cat videos are big. That's gonna get us a rating spike 487 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,239 here. Yeah, we need we need to do a segment on cat just 488 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:37,360 cats on the last segment. Okay, but uh, Terrence Man, for 489 00:35:37,559 --> 00:35:46,360 all the concern about him offensively and how he's hurting the starting lineup well, 490 00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:52,320 in fifteen games since the new starting lineup with him next to James Harden, 491 00:35:53,239 --> 00:36:00,639 uh, they're shooting fifty a team and forty from the outside when terriffs Man 492 00:36:00,679 --> 00:36:04,440 is out there in the starting lineup. Why are we so concerned? If 493 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,360 it's not hurting the team, it would be nice And I think at some 494 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,840 point he's going to get back to his career averages from the outside. But 495 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,840 when he does, that means they'll be even better. I agree, with 496 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,039 you, Adam, I think like the more troubling thing is it seems like 497 00:36:19,039 --> 00:36:22,840 we're seeing more of indecision terrence. I didn't even I don't even care if 498 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,679 he's missing the three so long as he's taking them. I just think offensively, 499 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,679 if he's second guessing himself or not having confidence, that that dilutes some 500 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:36,320 of his value and all the good things that even though his shooting hasn't been 501 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,239 great to start the season, he still has been. I mean, I 502 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:44,679 mean he's been I don't know what we do without him on the defensive end, 503 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,199 I guess, you know, especially with Uh, I mean, it's 504 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:52,159 very He has been a huge part of being able for Kawhi and Paul George 505 00:36:52,159 --> 00:36:54,400 to be able to do what they do on the offensive end by him picking 506 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,880 up a lot of the slack there. He's a great glue guy. He's 507 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,079 been doing all of these things. I think the thing that gets troubling is 508 00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:04,440 when you see him overthinking things again on the floor, because we've seen that 509 00:37:04,519 --> 00:37:07,480 before, and I guess I just feel like at this point in his tenure 510 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,559 he should be a little bit more secure. Although I'm still giving him the 511 00:37:10,639 --> 00:37:15,800 leeway because he has been asked to do he can. He has been asked 512 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:20,840 to do more throughout his tenure than any other Clipper, and that has only 513 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,719 continued this year with him, you know, being in and out of the 514 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,639 starting lineup. That ankle injury, I think really really set him back. 515 00:37:25,639 --> 00:37:30,159 I think we'd be looking at a different Terrence Man right now had that not 516 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:35,480 ever happened. But I agree he's gonna bounce back. I just think the 517 00:37:35,519 --> 00:37:38,840 things that are more troubling are not necessarily the numbers so much as how he 518 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:44,079 looks tentative at times on the floor. But my point then would be it's 519 00:37:44,159 --> 00:37:47,239 not really hurting the team. What if he was hitting three pointers, that 520 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:52,440 starting five would be at forty four percent. Together, they'd be shooting fifty 521 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,400 five percent from the field. Like, okay, maybe they can't read through 522 00:37:55,559 --> 00:38:00,559 max potential until Terrence Man finds his shooting stroke. But they're pretty damn good 523 00:38:00,679 --> 00:38:05,039 still because of all the little things he does. I take your point. 524 00:38:05,119 --> 00:38:08,000 The wheels are turning. You can see it out there. He's overthinking or 525 00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:14,840 underthinking or paralysis by analysis. He is in his own head, to say 526 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:20,599 the least offensively with his shot. But they're still damn good. That starting 527 00:38:20,679 --> 00:38:24,159 five with him out there and what he brings defensively and being a connector and 528 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,840 teams. By the way I saw it against Dallas, they were still closing 529 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,320 out on him on three pointers. They're not sagging off of him and treating 530 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:36,760 him like he's Russell Westbrook in the corner. His reputation precedes him. He's 531 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:42,239 a thirty eight percent career three point shooter. So let's not overreact to this 532 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,519 right now and say a mere coffee should all of a sudden be starting because 533 00:38:45,599 --> 00:38:49,119 Terrence Man is in a shooting bunk which has not affected the team at all, 534 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,519 and that is my pick for player of the game for the Clippers. 535 00:38:52,599 --> 00:38:59,280 Let's go Terrence, right, yeah, the fireworks game. Let's go all 536 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,920 right. I'll let us know who you think is gonna be player of the 537 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,719 game either on YouTube or over on Twitter at Clippers Pod. I think we've 538 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,199 all been right every time we've guessed one of these, which is pretty crazy. 539 00:39:10,119 --> 00:39:15,239 That's success rates unbelievable. Doyn't make me pull receipts on that. If 540 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,760 you went back and pulled those receipts, I would we would have to have 541 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,119 to point out the times we were about players of the game. Yeah, 542 00:39:22,159 --> 00:39:27,880 because surely Adam's never been wrong. That would be so funny. Not during 543 00:39:28,039 --> 00:39:30,280 Humility season. I'll tell you that. All right, Coming up, we're 544 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:34,960 gonna talk Kawhi Leonard first Team All NBA status as of now, and then 545 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,960 do a fun little game and then send everyone on their mary way. We 546 00:39:38,039 --> 00:39:42,039 got ads coming up. They've been loud for some people. If that's been 547 00:39:42,079 --> 00:39:44,320 the case, you go ahead and turn it down. We got ads coming 548 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:49,519 up in three two one. Welcome back in Clips and Tip season two, 549 00:39:49,639 --> 00:39:52,440 episode thirty three, I'm out a Moslin. We got Tummy's all good in 550 00:39:52,519 --> 00:39:57,159 Time Casual on the show as well. Bro, Temmy's all good. I 551 00:39:57,199 --> 00:40:02,559 will take that as a nickname. Chuck the Pink Stuff did the trick is 552 00:40:02,599 --> 00:40:07,119 with us along with will Updyke. The Clippers have won nine of ten. 553 00:40:07,199 --> 00:40:12,239 Now, that's where we're pivoting to and shifting to after they lost their first 554 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:16,960 game in three weeks in Okase. But there's some other stuff to talk about, 555 00:40:17,159 --> 00:40:22,039 like award season uh, and just starting to get that momentum for all 556 00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:28,159 the casuals out there, not necessarily time casuals, but just NBA fans who 557 00:40:28,519 --> 00:40:30,639 still feel like oh, Kawhi Leonard only plays twice a week. I still 558 00:40:30,639 --> 00:40:35,039 see that stuff out start watching during Christmas. That's a section of fans for 559 00:40:35,119 --> 00:40:37,440 sure. Yeah, yeah, it's real. Kawhi Leonard played twenty seven straight 560 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:44,679 games until missing that game against the OKC Thunder, but twenty seventh straight. 561 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,800 By being a two way player, it's a little bit more meaningful because of 562 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:52,800 his impact on both ends of the floor, and he is back to consistently 563 00:40:52,960 --> 00:41:00,199 playing locked in elite defense, very good to elite defense out there, and 564 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:04,199 especially taking up the challenge late in ball games when it's winning time. That's 565 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,119 what's most important. He's out there guarding the other team's best player and it's 566 00:41:07,159 --> 00:41:10,519 telling everyone in the huddle that's what he wants to do. Hell yeah, 567 00:41:10,599 --> 00:41:15,280 So Kawhi Leonard right now, if the season ended, he's first team All 568 00:41:15,559 --> 00:41:20,719 NBA. He is one of the five best players in the NBA. That's 569 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,320 what that would mean. I think it's true. Right, So if like, 570 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,039 let's look at who's for sure on the ballot, right, you got 571 00:41:27,079 --> 00:41:30,679 I mean you have Joel Embiid. He has better numbers than his MVP season 572 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,280 last year so far, so I think you kind of got to put Joel 573 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:38,519 on there and it's positionless now, so anybody which makes it weird? Do 574 00:41:38,599 --> 00:41:43,519 you? Jokicch No, not right now, you don't think so, No, 575 00:41:43,639 --> 00:41:46,280 Yokich, all right, So embid he has tough, tough stretches, 576 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:52,400 honest, probably honest. Yeah, he had the sixty point game recently, 577 00:41:52,519 --> 00:41:59,480 I think probably honest, Shae, Yeah, probably Shay, given team success 578 00:41:59,639 --> 00:42:04,400 is what, So there's three. I'm not seeing a lot of other people 579 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,760 who are gonna knock Kawhi Leonard off those last two spots. No, you 580 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:14,480 might be able to put Jason Tatum in there as for sure. Yeah, 581 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,760 I could see that because you also you got to think about games missed, 582 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:22,039 because there's all the stuff now too, about sixty five games which Kawhi Leonard 583 00:42:22,119 --> 00:42:25,719 is more than on pace for. I'm taking that into account twenty seven or 584 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,559 twenty eight games played so far. Hell yeah, yeah, I'm not seeing 585 00:42:29,599 --> 00:42:34,840 anyone who's dethroning Kawhi from first team as of December twenty second, five, 586 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,719 nineteen PM. For our time Stamp fans out there, will what are you 587 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,320 seeing? You look like you're in Swordfish right now with all the hack and 588 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:45,519 you're doing. Are you looking up at vand stats. Somebody in the room 589 00:42:45,559 --> 00:42:47,760 with you and we can't see him. Who's leading in VORP? That's my 590 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:52,639 pick for a first team. Whoever's leading in VORP value over replacement p Ooh 591 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:59,360 Anthony Edwards might be in here. Oh yeah, is go bear? Go 592 00:42:59,559 --> 00:43:02,559 bear? He's playing defense at a level that is as much as I hate 593 00:43:02,599 --> 00:43:07,599 to admit defensive Player of the Year level, I mean I put Anthony Edwards 594 00:43:07,639 --> 00:43:12,400 over him still because the same team probably right, they're not gonna put that 595 00:43:12,559 --> 00:43:15,559 rule. No, yeah, new rule, only one for each team. 596 00:43:15,599 --> 00:43:19,880 That'd be great. Like it's like the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award 597 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,199 where teams can only nominate one guy to the first team All NBA. This 598 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:28,199 actually might be a good rule. I like this idea they used to have 599 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,119 in baseball where there has to be a representative from each team making the All 600 00:43:31,159 --> 00:43:36,599 Star Game rules. That's awesome. Just like the shittiest team in the world. 601 00:43:37,079 --> 00:43:44,239 I'm just sending guy. I think Anthony Edwards. Yes, So that's 602 00:43:44,639 --> 00:43:47,119 so, somebody is who's the point guard? Because there's got to be a 603 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:51,960 point There doesn't need to be a point guard. It's positionless. Oh, 604 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,920 that's right, Luca could still be in here. Yeah, And this is 605 00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:00,000 where that this is where how hard it is to be a two way player. 606 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,960 This is why the two way player gets discredited because Lucas defense is bad 607 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,920 and Kawhi Leonard plays as good of an offensive game. It's different, but 608 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:15,119 it's as good of an offensive game, and he plays first team all defensive 609 00:44:15,199 --> 00:44:19,960 level defense. Like, Yeah, I would put him above Luca because of 610 00:44:20,159 --> 00:44:24,880 no defense and Anthony Edwards just because of how hot Kawhi Leonard has been. 611 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:30,280 But I think that's a conversation those two I can see. Yeah, for 612 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:35,280 sure, I think he's likely in. He's likely all first team Kahi. 613 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,039 Yeah, yeah, I think that's fair. Will. Who are you? 614 00:44:37,119 --> 00:44:44,440 Who are you taking over? Kawhi? PJ? Tucker shut the I knew 615 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:51,320 it. I knew I was already saying, Terrence Man, I actually think 616 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:58,960 first team all in me a uh? Who else could be in this conversation? 617 00:44:59,159 --> 00:45:02,880 Then Kevin Durant could be in the conversation with Phoenix even though they've lost 618 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:07,159 three of their last ten. How many games has he missed? I don't 619 00:45:07,159 --> 00:45:09,679 think he's missed money. He's still been putting up numbers in a lot of 620 00:45:09,679 --> 00:45:14,039 those losses. Wait, they've only lost three games out of the last ten. 621 00:45:15,039 --> 00:45:17,519 Seven and three isn't that bad? Sorry, they've lost seven of the 622 00:45:17,599 --> 00:45:22,719 last ten. Got it? Okay, that's worse record, casual, Am 623 00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,519 I the numbers guy. Will's the numbers guy, Dude, he called it 624 00:45:25,559 --> 00:45:30,079 out. That is worse. Seven and three and seven is worse than seven 625 00:45:30,159 --> 00:45:32,880 and ten. All right, well, we have the defense. I think 626 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,920 we've all settled it. Kawai will be first team All NBA at the end 627 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,360 of the year. I think this conversation pretty much settles. In December twenty 628 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:45,920 second, five two pm, go ahead and lock it in. NBA brass, 629 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,400 whoever is Adam Silver, If you're listening, leave a review. It 630 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:52,559 would really boost us to have that email address on there. All right, 631 00:45:52,599 --> 00:45:55,480 now, we're getting into a fun thing. It's the holiday season somehow. 632 00:45:55,599 --> 00:46:00,760 Christmas is on Monday. We're doing a Love Mary Quarantine from the old, 633 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:06,400 old old Lockdown Clippers show. These are so you gotta you gotta pick one 634 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,719 to Adam if you're unfamiliar. You gotta pick one that you love, pick 635 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,440 one that you marry to that you're really committed to, and pick one to 636 00:46:12,559 --> 00:46:15,440 quarantine. Because it's in the hell away from me, the hell away from 637 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:19,760 me. I mean, that's the person you want to quarantine with, Like, 638 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,360 that's the only person I means' it means they're sick, and you said 639 00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:27,480 get away from me. Just a lot of people could be confused. Okay, 640 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,360 I'm trying to get claration here. I appreciate it. I'm going to 641 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:34,199 clarify and make sure the game is as fun as possible for everybody. Uh 642 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:39,760 So, we are picking Clippers players starring in classic Christmas movies. So the 643 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:45,960 first option we have is of Viza Zubats as Kevin McAllister in Humbloe. The 644 00:46:46,039 --> 00:46:52,880 second option is Kawhi Leonard as Buddy in Elf, and the third option is 645 00:46:52,960 --> 00:47:00,400 Tylo as Clark Griswold in Christmas Vacation. Will which of these are you loving? 646 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,000 Marrying and quarantining? Which do you want to see the most? I'm 647 00:47:02,039 --> 00:47:06,079 loving Christmas Vacation, but I have to make a substitution. I wanted to 648 00:47:06,119 --> 00:47:10,079 be Paul George instead, because I think when he gets the Jam of the 649 00:47:10,079 --> 00:47:15,159 Month club instead of getting a Christmas bonus, Paul George doing that speech to 650 00:47:15,199 --> 00:47:17,920 me is just it's perfection. I want Okay, I need to see that 651 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:22,920 in a film. I'm sure AI is gonna be nipping every single month like 652 00:47:22,039 --> 00:47:24,960 movies soon and but you you'll be able to put Paul George in there. 653 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,760 So that's the only good outcome of all of AI. So thanks for that. 654 00:47:29,039 --> 00:47:30,760 You load an app just to put Paul George. That's all right. 655 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:36,559 You're you're married. You're marrying that one. I'm loving that one. And 656 00:47:36,599 --> 00:47:38,639 what are you marrying? I'm marrying. I gotta marry of each a zoo 657 00:47:38,639 --> 00:47:44,880 bot, says Kevin mccallison, and quarantining. Uh, Kawhi's buddy delf. 658 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,599 That's not really he'd be James Khan in that, so I had that as 659 00:47:47,639 --> 00:47:52,519 the other option to Kawhi is the dad in Elf? I think is really 660 00:47:52,559 --> 00:47:55,159 fun. That would be good. All right, so let's switch it, 661 00:47:55,199 --> 00:47:59,119 Adam, We'll do Kauhi as the dad in elf. Which of these three 662 00:47:59,119 --> 00:48:01,440 are you? What's your love? Very quarantine? Can I get Kawhi as 663 00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:07,320 Bruce Willis and die hard instead? Like with the way he's shooting ho ho 664 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,079 ho, Now I have a machine gun. I mean, that's freaking Kawhi 665 00:48:10,159 --> 00:48:22,559 Leonard Lately. Uh, you're yeah, that would be funny too. Actually, 666 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:30,880 one of kai is Don McLain is Halloween. Believe it? All right? 667 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:36,760 What are you marrying? I'm marrying a vitza Zoobots as Kevin McAllister in 668 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:45,039 Home Alone. It's so just Zoo doing one of these is perfect. I 669 00:48:45,079 --> 00:48:49,679 want to quarantine Elf, even though I took Kawhi from Elf and put him 670 00:48:49,679 --> 00:48:52,559 in die Hard, because I've never seen Elf, and I'm not the biggest 671 00:48:52,599 --> 00:48:58,599 Will Ferrell fan in the world. Have you not seen Elf? Just as 672 00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:00,199 just not something you're in a din or? Is it now? Kind of 673 00:49:00,199 --> 00:49:04,559 like a point because that movie is I don't like when Will Ferrell is the 674 00:49:04,599 --> 00:49:07,559 main actor. It just wears on me. I feel like he's doing the 675 00:49:07,599 --> 00:49:10,320 same sn L routine I've seen so many times before. I like him aside 676 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:15,679 characters like in Jan Sla Bob or like in Wedding Crashers more. Would you 677 00:49:15,679 --> 00:49:22,000 you have no interest in ever seeing Elf? If it was Christmas season, 678 00:49:22,039 --> 00:49:25,760 maybe I'd check it out. But if it is alas it is December, 679 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:30,840 it's not. It's it's Humility season, all right, that's fair? I 680 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:36,360 am. I am marrying uh Zoo as Kevin McAllister. That is that one 681 00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,440 made me laugh just out loud in my apartment. I could see him with 682 00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:43,840 the mac and cheese. Oh yeah, the wet bandits would get wrecked. 683 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,519 Oh man, yeah yeah, Zoo's just yeah. One of the pranks is 684 00:49:46,559 --> 00:49:50,719 he makes them stand underneath a basketball hoop and dunks on them and then a 685 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:55,719 trap door to the batesment or something. I'm going to I'm gonna love Kawhi 686 00:49:55,960 --> 00:50:00,800 as Walter and Elf. That'd be very funny, but makes me think of 687 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:08,360 what other Clippers player would be buddy to Annoy Kawhi as buddy the elfie Bones 688 00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:14,679 or Russ because Russ would be a good buddy the Elf to Kawhi's Walter. 689 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:19,079 I think it would have been Reggie a few years ago when Kawhi called him 690 00:50:19,079 --> 00:50:22,159 out and said didn't passed the ball for that ship. Or Scenarius Thordwell, 691 00:50:22,199 --> 00:50:27,760 who just seemed like a very fun locker room guy. I will just say, 692 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,079 well, I pulled receipts on and he tried to come after me. 693 00:50:30,519 --> 00:50:35,559 Well, there you go. And then I guess I'll quarantine tylerwis Clark Griswold 694 00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:37,719 because Tyler works so hard. You know, I just don't want to see 695 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:43,159 him in that scenario. He just worked so hard. I thought about wraps 696 00:50:43,159 --> 00:50:45,280 it up for this this episode of Clips and Dip. Thank you to everyone 697 00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:49,800 who was on the YouTube live yesterday.
