1
00:00:10,759 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: What is going on. Clippers fans, Welcome to a random

2
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,679
live that we're doing a couple hours before the Clippers

3
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,000
play the Warriors, which is going to be a weird

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,160
game considering none of the important Warriors are going to

5
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:27,920
be playing. To talk about the fact that there is

6
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:33,320
in fact a return date for Kawhi Leonard targeted. We

7
00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:37,840
absolutely love to see this, law Murray tweeting out earlier

8
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,039
today on Friday twenty twenty seventh, there is indeed a

9
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:45,679
target date for Kawhi Leonard Saturday, January fourth at Intuit

10
00:00:45,799 --> 00:00:50,399
Nome when the La Clippers host the Atlanta Hawks. So

11
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:56,520
we have a definitive date for Kawhi's return, which is awesome.

12
00:00:57,159 --> 00:00:59,920
If you miss the last updates, there was a bunch

13
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:03,880
of stuff about ty Lu talking about how, you know,

14
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,519
Kawhi needed to stack these five on five, needed to

15
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:10,879
get more practices under his belt and making good progress

16
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,879
still with all that kind of stuff, and we got it.

17
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,319
The target date is going to be January fourth. If

18
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,560
you're near to the stream, I'm Chuck Mockler. Adam Oisin's

19
00:01:20,599 --> 00:01:22,560
usually here, so is Will Updyke. But it's just me

20
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,599
right now. So this feels great. Clippers fans. Maybe we're

21
00:01:27,599 --> 00:01:31,799
disappointed that he wasn't going to come back on the

22
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,359
game tonight against the Warriors. I still think we're going

23
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:42,000
to be fine. He's also not traveling on the upcoming

24
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:45,920
trip for the Clippers. I had said. I was like, oh,

25
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,319
these these games after the twenty seventh seem nice for

26
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,280
him to return to. It's a three and four. They're

27
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:54,519
not able to practice on the road, which is why

28
00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:57,000
Kawhi is not going on this trip. But he will

29
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,680
be here practicing with the uh not Agua Caliente, with

30
00:02:02,879 --> 00:02:05,760
the San Diego Clippers. While the Clippers are on the

31
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:07,920
road trip, he's gonna be practicing in the G League,

32
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,400
stacking those five to fives or five on five. So

33
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,360
it feels great. The Clippers are going They're gonna be

34
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,039
playing the Warriors tonight. Everyone's hurt, which is weird. I

35
00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:22,479
think the Clippers are gonna be fine tonight. We're gonna

36
00:02:22,479 --> 00:02:24,639
put this out as an audio stream as well an

37
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,319
episode for the podcast audio people. If you ever want

38
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,080
to watch these, they're random because that's what happens with

39
00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:33,800
Clippers and return news. You can check us out at

40
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,159
YouTube dot accomplished at Clippers podcast, Alex Webb saying, don't

41
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:40,719
rush back Claw. I don't think anyone wants to rush

42
00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:45,520
him back. I think this is a pretty I'm like

43
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:49,080
fine with this timeline, right Like, I think if they're

44
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,479
saying he's good to go, and he's stacked the five

45
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,439
on fives, if we've talked about, I think this makes

46
00:02:55,479 --> 00:02:58,560
total sense for for quite to comeback now. Alex. I'm

47
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:00,599
not saying you were saying he was getting rush back,

48
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,639
but I don't think they've rushed him back. I think

49
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,639
they've done a really good job so far with this,

50
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,240
just given everything we've seen and heard from Tylu ill Yas.

51
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,360
I hope I pronounced that correctly. I apologize if I

52
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,639
didn't says how many minutes do you think he would

53
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,560
start out with? There's gonna be a minute restriction, as

54
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,680
tylu has talked about. I don't know. First of all,

55
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,199
I hope he's starting. I hope we keep a starting

56
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,960
lineup of James Harden, Norman Powell, Derek Jones, Junior Kawhi

57
00:03:32,039 --> 00:03:35,000
Leonard of Vitza Zubats. I personally hope that is what

58
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,240
the starting lineup is. I don't think there's gonna be

59
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,719
a lot of arguments. The other way, you could maybe

60
00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:42,879
convince me to start Chris Down over Norm Powell, But

61
00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:46,039
I don't think it's gonna happen. Norm started every single game,

62
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:49,400
including the preseason. It just kind of feels like Kawhi

63
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:54,159
is gonna slot into that spot. I think it's probably

64
00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:59,879
gonna be what twenty does twenty make sense? Fifteen feels low,

65
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:04,479
so I hope it's twenty. I think it makes sense.

66
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,960
So there are I do wanna I do want to

67
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,599
add this. We are getting more updates from Law Murray. Again,

68
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,879
if you're not following Law, if you're able to, you should,

69
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:23,439
because he's a wonderful big reporter. Law making it clear.

70
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,639
The Clippers are still taking Kawhi's Leonard's status slowly. There's

71
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:29,720
still a lot of developments that can take place, but

72
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:33,240
the time is coming very soon, and this next week

73
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:37,319
is a key step. So the key step part is

74
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,079
going to be how the knee responds to the practices,

75
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,720
to these full five on fives and all that good stuff.

76
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,240
It makes sense they're taking it slowly. That not a surprise,

77
00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:51,079
I don't think to anyone who's been a Clippers fan

78
00:04:51,079 --> 00:04:55,560
for a while. So this next week is a key step.

79
00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:57,680
It's going to be a very key step. Thank you

80
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,759
to Lot Murray for providing this. We really appreciate it.

81
00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:07,319
So yeah, the next week is step. Yeah, it's it's

82
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,519
I cannot wait to watch Kawhi Leonard play basketball again,

83
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,839
Alex Webb saying, if he's good, I'm cool with it.

84
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,680
I think that's where everyone's at. If the team has

85
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,360
been incredibly cautious, as we know, the medical staff has

86
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,480
been cautious with Kawhi throughout the whole kind of time

87
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,839
he's been here. Remember that that weird old game against

88
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,800
Memphis where they took him out at half and no

89
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:31,360
one knew why that was happening. But let's let's get

90
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,480
it right if there's any time to do it. The

91
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:38,079
Clippers have gotten through easily the hardest part of their schedule.

92
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,000
They don't have as many conference games left. I think

93
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,680
it's pretty split. Actually, I think they have the same

94
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:49,959
amount of conference and non conference games right now for

95
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,720
the team, so it'll be interesting. The Clippers are also

96
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,279
not very good in the Western Conference. I'm just gonna

97
00:05:56,319 --> 00:06:02,439
look at like the records and everything like that. Oh yeah,

98
00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:07,600
into it. Dome is going to be rocking on that night,

99
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:13,079
which again theoretically January fourth, that is the set target date.

100
00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:15,839
There are more steps that need to be taken, but

101
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:20,680
the time is coming very soon. This next week, as

102
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:25,040
law Marie reported, is a key step. We gotta hope

103
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:32,600
it goes well. M incredible comment from Rerenzo the old head,

104
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:35,639
which I will I will agree with this. Every year

105
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:37,480
he gets hurt and it gets me mad that God

106
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,360
damn it. Every time he's about to return, I always

107
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,920
get hyped. Damn you, Kawhai, that's the way she goes.

108
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,399
I feel you're Rerenzo one hundred percent. Also, my neighbor

109
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:51,319
has started calling me o G so I think it

110
00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:55,519
might be an old head. Now it's gonna be awesome.

111
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,040
The Clippers are in a wonderful place for Kawhi Leonard

112
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,120
to return, Terrence Man's return, which I know some people

113
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,800
maybe forgot that Terrence Man can be a useful player.

114
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,040
Terrence's timeline, let me see where it's at. Actually, Law

115
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:20,120
had some updates on this as well. Either way, Terrence

116
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,639
should be coming back around the same time that Kawhi

117
00:07:24,839 --> 00:07:28,279
is is coming back, which is fantastic. Just having the

118
00:07:28,279 --> 00:07:34,079
full on rotation is going to be great. Yes, Goku

119
00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:38,639
underscore ten that first elbow jumper. Come on, come on,

120
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,600
shut it down. It's gonna be so great. The rotation

121
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,959
is going to be really interesting when Kawhi comes back,

122
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:56,680
because what I just you know, it's interesting what happens

123
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,040
to backup center, what happens to Kevin Porter Junior's role

124
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:01,680
When we have this roster. Tyler is gonna want a

125
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,600
shorter rotation, not a larger rotation. I still think kpj

126
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:08,800
is gonna be the backup guard. I think the bench

127
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,000
is gonna be ma because it's so hard right because

128
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,560
it's like Bomba has not been that good second shift.

129
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:21,120
Bomba is great. And then this does show why having

130
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,680
Derek Jones Junior as a pickup was great. Missing Derek

131
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:27,360
Jones Junior over those last couple of Dames was tough.

132
00:08:27,399 --> 00:08:29,759
He had that great return game when he came back.

133
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,639
So no, it's huge Derek Jones Junior and Kawhi the

134
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,159
three four five of Kawhi Derek Jones. However, that checks

135
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:42,840
out and a Vitza Zubots is an incredible three four

136
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,000
five to have for this Clippers team when you have,

137
00:08:45,399 --> 00:08:48,000
you know, your starting two guards who can make things

138
00:08:48,039 --> 00:08:50,960
happen offensively, one of them being the system of James

139
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,000
Harden and one of them having their best year of

140
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,320
all time from outside and from mid range in in

141
00:08:55,399 --> 00:08:59,519
Norm Powell. It's gonna be awesome. There there is gonna

142
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,360
be I'm sure sure there's gonna be some consternation when

143
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:07,559
it comes to who's gonna get the time and stuff

144
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,200
like that. But we gotta remember Tyler's gonna want a

145
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:17,919
shorter rotation. I don't know who gets pushed out. We

146
00:09:17,919 --> 00:09:20,120
don't really have anyone else we can run backup point guard.

147
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:25,039
So again I think the bench, KPJ, Terrence Nico and

148
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,759
a mirror. That's the nine guys. You throw Bamba in,

149
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,960
there's your ten. I think we'll see that for a while.

150
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,519
And well and then Derek and then Chris Dunn. Right, so, like,

151
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,799
does Chris Dunn become the default backup point guard? Now?

152
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,480
I don't know. There's a lot of questions that Tyler's

153
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:48,080
gonna have to figure out with this rotation. Thankfully, the

154
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,720
nice thing is the Clippers have been playing great, right

155
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,799
the Clippers. Uh, when Kawhi does return, let's just say

156
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,879
things stay normal. Let's say all these stats as of Friday,

157
00:10:01,879 --> 00:10:06,240
December twenty seventh. They got a handful of games coming

158
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,200
up in between there, so there's still gonna be a

159
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,440
top ten, top five defense. The offense is still going

160
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,039
to be not very good. But I don't think that

161
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,159
wasn't a big surprise to people. Jimmy g I agree.

162
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,279
I hope we get some more coffee minutes, but it

163
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:27,840
depends on how guys are playing. I don't think he

164
00:10:27,919 --> 00:10:29,799
will lose a bunch of minutes, right because we've you know,

165
00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:33,080
Tyler's talked about with you know, with Derek Jones Junior

166
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,679
out and Kawhi out. They were going to start either

167
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,039
one of these guys, So I don't think their minutes

168
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,440
are going to be lost. Again. The discussion of the

169
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,039
Clippers needing a power forward is going to be at

170
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,440
ten when Kawai comes back. And there's maybe one bad game,

171
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,080
so we're gonna see what happens with all that stuff.

172
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,519
But those are good problems to have, right.

173
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 2: This is a.

174
00:10:55,039 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: Team that has committed to defense, has committed to playing

175
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,559
you know this, like high energy, do the little annoying

176
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,840
things basketball, and they're at a perfect point for Kawi

177
00:11:07,919 --> 00:11:13,440
Lander to come back into this rotation. I'm sipping on

178
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,799
a festive beverage because we got a a Cohi returned date.

179
00:11:17,879 --> 00:11:21,720
Let's look at those games also that he's potentially coming

180
00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:24,919
back for. So the Clippers play on January fourth at home,

181
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,080
then they're away the sixth and the eighth versus Nuggets

182
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,200
and the Timberwolves. Kawhi's first back to back that he

183
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,200
would have to deal with if he comes back on

184
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,039
the fourth. Its January fifteenth and January sixteenth. Clippers play

185
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,000
the Nets at home on the fifteenth, and then they're

186
00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:43,879
away to the Blazers. I would assume Kawhi sits one

187
00:11:43,919 --> 00:11:46,240
of those out I personally don't want him playing any

188
00:11:46,279 --> 00:11:49,480
back to backs. The Clippers have an Eastern Conference back

189
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,919
to back on the twenty first and the twenty second

190
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,240
against the Bulls, and the Celtics sit him out of either.

191
00:11:55,279 --> 00:11:58,120
I do. I could care the less about Coawhi Leonard

192
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:04,960
going against the Bulls. Lizo asking, uh is Jordan Miller cooked?

193
00:12:05,039 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 2: Now?

194
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably. I like Jordan Miller. He's got potential. But

195
00:12:11,639 --> 00:12:13,840
with the way clip the Clippers are playing right now

196
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,159
and the rotation getting smaller, the numbers just don't add

197
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,679
up for Jordan Miller. To have any minutes I don't know,

198
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,240
which isn't great for those of us who like Jordan Miller.

199
00:12:26,279 --> 00:12:32,039
But also it's not his it's there's no time for him.

200
00:12:32,159 --> 00:12:35,559
The Clippers are. The Clippers have played better than I

201
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,559
think a fair amount of people, myself included, thought they

202
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,440
would be with Kahira. If someone were to say Kawhi's

203
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,919
returning on January fourth, but the Clips are going to

204
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,000
be seventeen and thirteen to have a top ten defense,

205
00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:53,159
I'd say, well, shit, okay, life is pretty good then.

206
00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:56,720
But I think for Jordan Miller, things are probably this

207
00:12:56,919 --> 00:13:00,519
is yeah, it's gonna be garbage time minute, it's gonna

208
00:13:00,519 --> 00:13:04,480
be stuff like that unless you've shown some big stuff

209
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,320
in practice. But this is a team that it's just

210
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,559
not there's no room like I don't with how they're

211
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,960
playing now. This isn't a punt at year. The Clippers

212
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,120
don't have a pick they have. The only thing the

213
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,279
Clippers have motivation to do is continue to win. And

214
00:13:23,399 --> 00:13:27,679
looking at the strength of schedule, let's look at the

215
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:32,440
strength of schedule for the rest of the season. So

216
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:38,399
the remaining strength of schedule per Tankathon, the Clippers have

217
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:46,120
the eighteenth easiest, hardest schedule from here on out. Their

218
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:51,279
strength of schedule is five hundred is the composite winning percentage,

219
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:55,000
so they're right in the middle. They got to play

220
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,080
the Calves twice, the Thunder twice, The Celtics wants the Rockets,

221
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,759
wants the Grizzlies in the Knicks twice. But they get

222
00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:05,840
three games against the Pels, two games against the horn

223
00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:08,480
It's two games against the Jazz. It's a it's an

224
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,320
up it's been up and down kind of schedule for

225
00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:15,320
the Clippers the rest of the way. But the West

226
00:14:15,399 --> 00:14:19,919
is tight as hell. The Kings are. I'm gonna say done.

227
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,879
I don't we don't have to worry about the Clippers

228
00:14:21,879 --> 00:14:27,039
slipping down to twelve. Also, Mike Brown being fired is crazy.

229
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:32,279
Did not deserve it. I don't think if you're looking

230
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,759
at a top three seed, I don't think they're They're

231
00:14:35,799 --> 00:14:40,360
not catching the Thunder. Sorry, Rockets are. They're four games

232
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,879
out of the Rockets and they're three and a half

233
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:49,159
games out of where the Mavericks are. Oh the man himself,

234
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,399
Adam Osland, how are you doing? Fella? Gotta be doing great.

235
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,159
Now that we have a target date, right, let's target date.

236
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's the day everybody assume was

237
00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:01,159
gonna be the twenty seventh. The next date would be

238
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,399
the fourth, when they're back into it, since he's not

239
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,960
traveling on this road trip, so I got to make

240
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,279
sure that there's no setbacks between now and then. But

241
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:11,279
outside of that, sounds like Kawhi Leonard will be back

242
00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:12,480
against Atlanta Hawks.

243
00:15:13,039 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. I liked what lat Murray said and that the

244
00:15:15,159 --> 00:15:17,360
follow up tweet, he said, this is a big week, right,

245
00:15:17,399 --> 00:15:20,759
he's gonna be practicing with San Diego. I'm assuming they're

246
00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:23,879
doing five on five. Lord help whatever San Diego Clippers

247
00:15:23,919 --> 00:15:26,559
player has to guard Kawhi Leonard in these upcoming practices.

248
00:15:27,799 --> 00:15:29,600
But I like that this is this step is a

249
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,759
it's a big it's a big week for him coming back,

250
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,879
and it makes sense they got to be cautious. Yeah.

251
00:15:36,279 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 2: I like the fact that they're just emphasizing more five

252
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:43,039
on five, more workouts, more practice time. Clippers are seventeen

253
00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:44,919
and thirteen, they have a great chance to be eighteen

254
00:15:44,919 --> 00:15:48,759
and thirteen after tonight. Like the commercial comes out earlier today,

255
00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:52,200
you know, everything's pointing in the right direction, but it

256
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,879
still is about his knee holding up and not swelling

257
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,919
up between now and then. So that's the that's the

258
00:15:58,919 --> 00:16:03,000
only concern. But everything right now feels good. Here I'm

259
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:03,799
got into its home.

260
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: People are talking about it. Got really loud out. They

261
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,200
got a practice. They got a practice, all right, I

262
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:21,200
guess that's having a game. Let me do buddy. We've

263
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,840
heard from Adam Oslin. People are excited. Adam got a

264
00:16:23,879 --> 00:16:29,080
new haircut. This feels good. The Clippers again, not the

265
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,480
easiest schedule, not the hardest schedule remaining, but most of

266
00:16:32,519 --> 00:16:37,200
their difficult games. I take that back. What four of

267
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:42,799
their hardest games remaining are against conference opponents? Five of them? Okay,

268
00:16:42,799 --> 00:16:44,639
it's gonna be Thank god, we only put the rockets

269
00:16:44,679 --> 00:16:52,000
one more time. But the Clippers have a path. And

270
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,639
I don't know if they're watching, but I think it

271
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,360
was junction. If you listen to this later or watch

272
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,799
this later, we said if the Clippers were a top

273
00:16:59,799 --> 00:17:01,879
three seed, you could come on the pod. They have

274
00:17:01,919 --> 00:17:05,279
a chance to be a top three seed. They are

275
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,880
two and a half games, excuse me, three and a

276
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,079
half games out of a top three seeding. The Grizzlies

277
00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:18,880
or the MAVs just lost Luca. Like there's a. There's

278
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,039
a path for it, for it to happen for the Clippers.

279
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:24,960
I know this episode's coming out like an hour before

280
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:30,200
the Warriors game. Very weird roster coming up for both

281
00:17:30,319 --> 00:17:35,480
teams for this Warriors game. Kevin Porter Junior sick, which sucks.

282
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,680
Seems like running this through the team right now. We'll

283
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:44,440
see what happens tonight. Here's the kahile Enard having a

284
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,400
good week. That's the important thing to remember. Big week

285
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,079
of practice down in San Diego. Teams traveling, and so

286
00:17:51,079 --> 00:17:53,160
hope they clean up on that road trip. And then

287
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:59,319
he's so the target date is January fourth, verse the

288
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,200
Atlanta Hawk. If you have tickets, maybe sell them. If

289
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,720
you want tickets, maybe buy them. Thank you all for

290
00:18:04,759 --> 00:18:06,640
hanging out. It was just a quick little stream. Happy

291
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,519
Adam got to be here. We're gonna have a full

292
00:18:08,559 --> 00:18:13,960
episode with the full crew coming up tomorrow night. At

293
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,920
some point someone just logged on saying, good evening. What's

294
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,200
going on? Kawhi Leonard has a target date, everybody, January

295
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:26,160
fourth should be a good ass time. I should we

296
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,920
should be at that game. We'll be at that game.

297
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,359
If you're at the end of it, don't say what's up.

298
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,119
Here's to the Clippers getting a dub over a short

299
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,200
handed Warriors team tonight. Here's to Kawhi Leonard having a

300
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,279
good week of practice and progress. And here's to the

301
00:18:39,319 --> 00:18:42,160
Clippers making some noise and maybe be in a top

302
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,440
three seat. Maybe we'll have the guest host on if

303
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,920
that happens. Thank you all for hanging out clips and

304
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,799
DIP is gonna come at you with a full episode

305
00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:52,279
with the full crew myself, Adam Oslin and William Updike

306
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,920
tomorrow night. Yeah, rewatch the stream if you want the news.

307
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,759
But Kawhi Leonard has a target date with some progress

308
00:18:58,759 --> 00:19:01,559
that has to happen for January fourth against the Hawks,

309
00:19:01,559 --> 00:19:04,519
and the Clippers will be the most annoying team to

310
00:19:04,559 --> 00:19:07,359
play in the entire NBA. Have a good rest of

311
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,519
your evening, Here's to a great New Year's and as always,

312
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:10,920
let's go
