1
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: What's going on? Clippers fans? How's everybody doing this Monday evening?

2
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,640
Welcome to Clips and Dip Season three, Episode fifty. I

3
00:00:21,679 --> 00:00:24,480
am Chuck Mackler. We got the full crew, We got

4
00:00:24,519 --> 00:00:28,079
Adam Oz and we got William Updyke. We are here

5
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,679
to talk about what the heck is going on with

6
00:00:30,719 --> 00:00:33,359
the Clippers. We're gonna talk the losing the two games

7
00:00:33,359 --> 00:00:35,759
to the Lakers. We're gonna talk losing norm to injury.

8
00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:38,640
We're gonna talk the Clippers versus Suns preview because that

9
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:42,240
game is incredibly important. And then we're gonna talk a

10
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,640
little bit about the Jordan Miller contract and how we

11
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:48,799
feel about the month of March. If you're watching us

00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:08,040
we doing? Adam will start with you. How's it going?

17
00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:12,239
Speaker 2: It could be worse? I like what I saw from

18
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,719
KWHI last night. As predicted he'd be off the minister

19
00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:19,079
restriction this weekend. Not as predicted, they'd still go on too.

20
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, nice to see the minutes restriction lifted. Some real

21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,959
bad discourse happening on Twitter about minutes restrictions and how

22
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,560
much the Clippers play against certain teams. I'm gonna let

23
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:36,400
the listeners discover that themselves. Will You and I were

24
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,480
watching the oscars and the game last night? How are

25
00:01:39,519 --> 00:01:41,640
you doing this morning? Do you feel? I was pretty

26
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,519
down last night. We were watching the game with the

27
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,359
frolic room. I was not feeling it. Have we switched?

28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,239
How are you feeling?

29
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: Yeah?

30
00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:52,799
Speaker 4: Not great, man, It's no great spots to be You

31
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:56,519
mentioned the injury port injury report for the game against Phoenix.

32
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,799
That's not looking great either. It's nice the Kuhi is

33
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:02,200
a little better. But Adam even pulled up some film

34
00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:06,480
to sully that, so thanks for that, Adam.

35
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: He's not on the engine report.

36
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,719
Speaker 1: He is not on the injine report. He did keep

37
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,599
playing after he was grabbing Adam.

38
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: Why grabbing his knee?

39
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,879
Speaker 1: I think that might be a metal thing. He's just checking.

40
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,120
He's making sure it's okay.

41
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: Every single time Kawhi falls and weight with baited bread, I.

42
00:02:26,199 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: Mean, come on, how can you not that is true?

43
00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:33,439
The Clippers. In case you missed. It dropped the two

44
00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:37,439
games to the Lakers, and Norm got hurt. Do we

45
00:02:37,479 --> 00:02:41,840
want to talk about the one or maybe two positives

46
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:46,199
from these games? I say the one positive is Kawhi

47
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:52,120
Leonard Hey building blocks best game of the season last night.

48
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: He looked great, right, Yeah, you look legit like Kawhi

49
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,120
from last year.

50
00:02:57,199 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: He did.

51
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: He had a ton of pop out there to his

52
00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:04,240
mid range. Finally, that was the missing ingredient, which kind

53
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,159
of made me hopeful, like, well, he can't be done

54
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,520
hitting shots in the mid range, right, He's too good

55
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,599
at this. There's no way that's the thing that's gonna

56
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:14,240
fall off. First and last night he was there.

57
00:03:15,159 --> 00:03:18,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, it felt good. I felt like kind of watching

58
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,199
another classic like Clipper situation where one guy is doing

59
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:26,960
very good and it just it can't No one else

60
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,960
can really coalesce around it. Will Howard? Are your overall

61
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,319
encouraged from Kwi looking good?

62
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 3: I'd imagine, yeah, yeah, of course, how could he not be?

63
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:35,319
Speaker 1: It is?

64
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably like the one positive takeaway, especially given you

65
00:03:40,039 --> 00:03:43,719
know some of the other setbacks that it happened since.

66
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,639
But yeah, if Kawhi can get back to being that guy,

67
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,520
you know, it gives the Clippers obviously a much better shot,

68
00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:53,240
especially with a grueling month in which they might not

69
00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:59,280
have Norm Powell, which seems see.

70
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: Well, I'm I mean to be fair.

71
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:04,319
Speaker 4: If Kuhi is back, now is the time to really

72
00:04:04,639 --> 00:04:06,919
to really shine. Now is the time to really uh

73
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:10,280
to really let it fly and uh just remind everyone

74
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,039
where he's at.

75
00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: Yes, Norm was taken out of Game two with a

76
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:21,040
hamstring injury. He's listed as a strain on the injury

77
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:23,639
report for the game against Phoenix, which.

78
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 4: What did you make of an instagram thing?

79
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, the Instagram post where he said this is

80
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,959
some bullshit. I think he was probably just mad about

81
00:04:30,959 --> 00:04:31,519
being hurt.

82
00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was frustrated. He just got back plays nine

83
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,279
minutes now something else gone wrong. It's unbelievable.

84
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: Just frustration. Yeah, what do we think? We're all doctors?

85
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,160
Of course, famously the only podcast hosted by three doctors,

86
00:04:47,439 --> 00:04:52,560
uh specifically hamstring doctors. Like a week and a half,

87
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,439
two weeks? Is that kind of what we've been seeing

88
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,639
from the hand string strungs strains?

89
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:01,759
Speaker 2: My medical schooling tells me that, uh.

90
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: My old yeah you got that from.

91
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 2: I'm going with two weeks and if it's anything less great,

92
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,879
but I'm thinking at least two weeks. But I don't know.

93
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,399
Speaker 1: He's so important to the team and we haven't seen

94
00:05:15,439 --> 00:05:19,680
them rush people back. I know there are some people

95
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,839
thinking that maybe Norm got rushed back or he played

96
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,959
through some kind of injury, but he.

97
00:05:24,079 --> 00:05:26,519
Speaker 4: Was weird for him to be down coming out of

98
00:05:26,519 --> 00:05:27,399
the All Star break.

99
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair. Another situation where more rest

100
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,199
makes this older team somehow more fragile. But I think

101
00:05:38,199 --> 00:05:40,120
they have they got to be cautious with Norm. This

102
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,639
team is playing so badly, uh, and we can't have

103
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,000
a sixty five percent Norm out there trying to pick

104
00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:50,399
up some of the scoring slack, because that's how you

105
00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:54,240
get hurt even more. I think right like they're going

106
00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:55,040
to be slow with this.

107
00:05:55,160 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I would assume they're even more cautious.

108
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: Now, Okay, I have one more good thing to talk about,

109
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,680
and then we can talk about all the bad things

110
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,560
that happen in the Lakers game, or maybe some of them.

111
00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:15,680
Justin Rousseau, our favorite French for trapping Clippers Meet reporter

112
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,759
tweeted out that the Clippers this season are top ten

113
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,920
and shot quality per Basketball Index, despite the recent downturn

114
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,160
offensively twenty third in offensive rating and three point percentage

115
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:29,240
since the all start break, the process has seen sound.

116
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:33,120
Does that make y'all feel any better? Or are we

117
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,000
just a bad shooting team? Now?

118
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 4: Made me feel better if teams weren't shooting like their

119
00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:40,720
best percentages against US?

120
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:41,319
Speaker 3: I suppose.

121
00:06:42,079 --> 00:06:43,519
Speaker 1: I think that's a fair point.

122
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,639
Speaker 3: It can't be both things.

123
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,399
Speaker 2: It can't.

124
00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: I mean it is, but not if you want to

125
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,759
wait for success.

126
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, not if it's as some are saying our year, Adam,

127
00:06:56,439 --> 00:07:00,120
Does that make you feel any better? Buckets will be there?

128
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: Kind of that account for who's shooting those shots but

129
00:07:03,399 --> 00:07:06,800
apparently are good looks or is it just they're good.

130
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: Good looks taking them? Yeah? Well, and that so we

131
00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:14,639
I don't want to put this, we can. That leads

132
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:20,240
perfectly into what dude, Bogden shooting has been so bad

133
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,040
the lad He's six for twenty two the last two games.

134
00:07:24,519 --> 00:07:28,199
He's shooting twenty seven percent on catching threes since the deadline.

135
00:07:29,519 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 3: Uh, which on defense too.

136
00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: He was getting destroyed on Friday on defense. It's gotta

137
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:42,800
come back right like this is this is as bad

138
00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:44,720
as it was when he was with Atlanta. I thought

139
00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:47,199
it would come back. Maybe it's just more time. We've

140
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,000
seen it be good a couple of games. But man,

141
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,120
is it twenty seven percent on catching shoot threes when

142
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,759
you're brought here to do one a catch and shoot

143
00:07:58,759 --> 00:08:02,839
threes For the most part, her is hurting the team.

144
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:05,800
I don't know what the answer is other than more

145
00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:08,519
wide open shots per basketball Index.

146
00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 2: I think they're just encouraging him, keep going, push through it,

147
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,800
because without Norm he is a Norm archetype type player

148
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,839
in a lot of ways. He could Actually he started

149
00:08:19,879 --> 00:08:21,720
the second half when they didn't have Norm, and it

150
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,759
makes sense in theory.

151
00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot in theory that makes sense for this

152
00:08:27,279 --> 00:08:28,600
Clippers team. In theory.

153
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: He did go four of eleven last night. That's thirty

154
00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:34,000
six percent. He knocked down a couple that brought it

155
00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:38,039
close and gave him a shot late. I don't know.

156
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:41,320
It's been really really up and down and mostly down.

157
00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:44,200
I think, though he is he's got to be a

158
00:08:44,279 --> 00:08:47,919
little bit above thirty percent now shooting wise as a

159
00:08:47,919 --> 00:08:49,559
Clipper from the outside.

160
00:08:49,639 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: I don't think. I bet he's less than a full

161
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,799
percentage point above thirty percent as a Clipper.

162
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 2: Okay, let me see here. I thought he was thirty

163
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,399
percent going into that game. Okay, he's at zero point

164
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,200
two nine eight.

165
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so not so if you round up uh, in

166
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,399
Professor Austin's class, that's n F plus. In my class,

167
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:16,960
that's n F minus. Still, yeah, I don't know. I

168
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000
want that to be better, Like I don't know what

169
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,440
else to do. He's getting good looks, right, He's not.

170
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,120
He's not going one for twelve, like shooting off a

171
00:09:25,159 --> 00:09:28,320
double team or anything like that, right, Like, he's at

172
00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:31,080
least making good decisions.

173
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,159
Speaker 2: He made He missed two wide open threes in the

174
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,600
near side corner and looked at himself last night, like,

175
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,399
what the hell is this? How can this be happening

176
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:38,679
to me?

177
00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: It seems he absolutely feels like he has the yips.

178
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,559
For those of you who don't know what the yips are,

179
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,159
it's when you're used to doing something a million times

180
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,480
and then you step up to it started in golf,

181
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:52,919
and you just lose everything.

182
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,879
Speaker 2: He's Steve Sacks right now throwing the first.

183
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,039
Speaker 1: Dude like this is and I'm not like trying to

184
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,679
say it, like this is so shitty to deal with

185
00:10:02,919 --> 00:10:05,799
if you've ever had anything like the yibs, He's brought

186
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,399
here for one specific reason. That reason is not working.

187
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,639
It's just calm. I'm sure it's compounding whatever's going on

188
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:13,159
in his head.

189
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:17,639
Speaker 3: He's got to turn it around now.

190
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that yes, we don't have an option. We

191
00:10:22,279 --> 00:10:26,480
have there is because of up until last night, how

192
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,519
Kawhi Leonard looked, because of how James Harden's looked. In

193
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,519
terms of fatigue. There's a lot more stress on the

194
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,039
other guys to hit their shots, and when that's not happening,

195
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:42,120
things obviously look rough hard. Yeah, and I look, I

196
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,720
love Chris Dunn. We need Chris Dunn. It's a conundrum,

197
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,120
a condundrum if you will, because we need his defense.

198
00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:53,600
But the team, the opposing team is fine. If Chris

199
00:10:53,639 --> 00:10:57,039
Dunn is taking the third most shots, they'll lose a game.

200
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,320
If Chris Dunn is hitting his shots. He is so

201
00:10:59,399 --> 00:11:01,879
good at defense, he should be on an all defensive team.

202
00:11:02,159 --> 00:11:05,919
Like his value is events he's specialized. It's that thing

203
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,720
with the Clippers where we have all these specialized we

204
00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:13,759
have all these specialized tools and when Harden, Kawhi Norm

205
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,960
and I want to add Zoo to this, but he

206
00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:19,720
got forgotten in the game last night. When they're not

207
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,559
able to do what they need to specialized tools. It

208
00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:26,399
just looks a lot it's a lot harder for them

209
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,519
to do anything else. Adam, you rolled your eyes at

210
00:11:30,519 --> 00:11:33,480
the Zubots thing, what the hell? When is this? Like,

211
00:11:34,799 --> 00:11:36,840
I'm not what the hell at you? I understand why

212
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,519
you rolled your eyes.

213
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:43,759
Speaker 2: I'm almost nearing acceptance with Haavisa Zubots not getting touches,

214
00:11:43,879 --> 00:11:46,399
like it's I don't know what else to do. I've

215
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,679
been freaking out about this for years, but this year

216
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,440
it's like, how can this happen this year? How can

217
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,200
it keep happening? After you just played that team Friday night?

218
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,759
He just he still could have gotten more touches in

219
00:11:57,799 --> 00:12:01,720
that game Friday, and then you get him six less

220
00:12:02,039 --> 00:12:06,320
the next game when you can't score. What is happening?

221
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't understand how the rotation crutch anytime someone's

222
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,840
out ends up falling on zoo right, like the shots

223
00:12:14,919 --> 00:12:15,679
go down.

224
00:12:15,879 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 4: Like Norm, you know, left that game after nine minutes,

225
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,279
Like I think that, you know, to see a decrease

226
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:24,240
in zoos field goal attempts. Had Norm been out there

227
00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:27,679
for for something approaching regular minutes, I feel like, okay,

228
00:12:27,759 --> 00:12:29,519
I mean I could shock that up they're trying. They're

229
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:31,600
trying to get norm back involved in the offense. He's

230
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:32,399
obviously a very.

231
00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: Big part of it.

232
00:12:32,879 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 4: They know what he can do scoring wise, Zoo's role

233
00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:39,679
is a little bit more fixed, I guess. But yeah,

234
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,759
for him to be gone too, it's it's all the

235
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:42,600
more baffling.

236
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

237
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 4: It's it's like they they have this identity, but they

238
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,480
don't know what's good for them.

239
00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:51,399
Speaker 1: Yes, I do.

240
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,879
Speaker 2: There's nothing currently that pisses me more off in sports

241
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,399
than at least to Zoobos not getting touches.

242
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: What about the lucasrade?

243
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 3: Okay, this is ten of those.

244
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,399
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, sure.

245
00:13:06,159 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: Why the fuck did you have to bring that up again?

246
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: These are things we don't speak of.

247
00:13:12,039 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll actually talk about.

248
00:13:13,799 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're like, this wasn't other breakdown. This wasn't I

249
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,639
didn't see this on the breakdown. Okay, we talked about

250
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,720
Zoo getting ignored. What's the remedy for harden Man, Because

251
00:13:23,799 --> 00:13:28,399
tired Harden is not getting back on defense the way

252
00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:30,080
that he should be. Not to say, you know what,

253
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,960
I mean, like he was doing a good job at it,

254
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,919
but when he's tired, you can see it not happening.

255
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,679
He's forgetting guys at the top.

256
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 4: Of the key. Another conundrum though, because when he has

257
00:13:38,519 --> 00:13:41,240
extended like when he doesn't want to take rest, when

258
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,519
he has extended rest, he comes back a little rusty.

259
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:46,240
Is this just him sort of still shaking out of

260
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,120
the All Star break? Like is what we're seeing because

261
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,759
it looks like fatigue to the eye, But like, is

262
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:55,120
this perhaps him just trying to shake some of that

263
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,960
russ off and just get back into sort of the motions,

264
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,840
get that sort of mentum going in. I certainly hope

265
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,360
it's that, because I mean, there's just a lot of

266
00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:06,799
season left, fellas.

267
00:14:06,919 --> 00:14:09,759
Speaker 1: A lot of season, not a lot of time. We

268
00:14:09,799 --> 00:14:11,720
are going to talk about our March record in the

269
00:14:11,759 --> 00:14:14,159
third segment, But I hope it's the rest man. But like,

270
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,519
he looks twenty point. That twenty point third quarter was

271
00:14:18,919 --> 00:14:22,120
absolutely incredible last week. But I'm also like, how much

272
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,600
did that take out of him for the games after that?

273
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,360
Because he looks tired at all.

274
00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: He's won for his last twelve quarters, He's had one

275
00:14:31,759 --> 00:14:35,720
good quarter in his last twelve. I would say, honestly,

276
00:14:36,559 --> 00:14:40,320
I think the solution is pretty clear. Give it up

277
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,679
to Kawhi. You don't have to do everything anymore, like

278
00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:45,320
take the burden off of James.

279
00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: Yea.

280
00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:49,279
Speaker 2: The only positive I can find from what's going on

281
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,279
with the injuries now is it puts more of an

282
00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:54,039
onus on Kawhi to have to be the lead dog again,

283
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,480
and that's where they need to be anyways to get

284
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,639
to their maximum potential.

285
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: Which is Yeah, if we were doing a gentle on

286
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,559
ramp for Kawai's return to the rotation, it's now lift

287
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:05,879
off that.

288
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've gone from a very casual walk up up

289
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,919
a gradual slope to find the bowl during route. Dude,

290
00:15:14,919 --> 00:15:20,320
you gotta go straight up. Yeah. I like that, Adam.

291
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:24,480
I think I'm gonna I'm going to try and buy

292
00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:27,159
into that that this will light a fire under Kawhi

293
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,279
and then we get more sets where he's getting looks

294
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:31,600
at the elbows, he's we're getting some small small pick

295
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:35,759
and roll or something like that, like there's hope to

296
00:15:35,799 --> 00:15:39,799
be mined out of this and huffed from a big bucket.

297
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,159
Speaker 2: Kawhi was at his best last night. It has been

298
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,799
as of late, I believe with James hardened off the

299
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,039
floor and the numbers will bear that out where there's

300
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,960
a clear distinction of what your role is when he's

301
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,960
off the floor, not playing next to you. But again,

302
00:15:55,159 --> 00:15:57,840
for them to actually peak, they have to figure it

303
00:15:57,879 --> 00:15:59,799
out with both of them on the floor. And I

304
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,320
think think it's clear just let Kawhi run the offense

305
00:16:03,399 --> 00:16:06,879
through him more. That will help James Harden with turnovers

306
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,159
usage rateing's going to go down, his efficiency should go up,

307
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,240
his lakes should be fresher. It's right there. Now, Kawha

308
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,159
is going to miss five more games because the backs

309
00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:21,039
to backs, so at most he's playing seventeen of the

310
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,320
last twenty two. What are you doing those five games?

311
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,080
And that's kind of the problem to me. It's like

312
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,240
you can't just tell to Jim's hardened right now, Hey,

313
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,600
thanks for everything this season. Now it's Kawhi's team because

314
00:16:33,679 --> 00:16:35,879
Kawhi is not going to be there for all these games,

315
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,080
so you have to figure out how to flex and.

316
00:16:41,039 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: James hard in the same games. Just be like you're

317
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,600
sitting in the same games Kawas. I don't think that

318
00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:49,120
would go over well at all.

319
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: Hey, maybe it Ben was healthy, they could do it,

320
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,679
but now that's a problem. It is like I think

321
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,039
they could have used him last night.

322
00:16:57,159 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, He's a guy who makes anyone who makes

323
00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:03,919
James Harden's life easier in terms of setting the offense

324
00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:07,799
up can always be used. Unfortunately, the only other person

325
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,119
on the roster other than Kawhi they can do that

326
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:11,640
is Ben Simmons.

327
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: Well, you just can't have this evolving offensive identity all

328
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:18,720
the time and how you want to play out there.

329
00:17:18,759 --> 00:17:20,960
It's too hard for role players. And I know that's

330
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,920
been an ongoing thing in the two to three era

331
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,720
and oh yeah, but it's just there are twenty two

332
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:32,200
games left. Is there really enough time? It's it's lick

333
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,039
and dire, guys.

334
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,759
Speaker 1: We don't even have a set starting lineup, which some

335
00:17:35,799 --> 00:17:38,279
people have been worried about. For a minute. Is there

336
00:17:38,319 --> 00:17:42,279
anything specifically from the two Lakers games that we want

337
00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:44,640
to talk about before we kind of before we talk

338
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,359
the standings a little bit? The thirty five or was fun?

339
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,519
By the way on Friday, anyone who came out, thanks

340
00:17:51,559 --> 00:17:55,920
for coming out, Spencer DLG. That was a good time. Lad.

341
00:17:57,839 --> 00:17:59,920
I don't know, oh one thing that pissed me off,

342
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,839
and this might be the old man in me, Luca

343
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,480
rubbing the ball on his head to put all the

344
00:18:05,519 --> 00:18:07,599
sweat onto it. Before the free throw.

345
00:18:09,519 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 3: Just gross.

346
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,039
Speaker 1: I would be mad if anybody did that. Just gross,

347
00:18:13,279 --> 00:18:15,400
Like you don't see that a lot for a very

348
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,519
good reason. And then it's gross and like and it

349
00:18:19,519 --> 00:18:21,319
could have it could have been a Clippers player who

350
00:18:21,319 --> 00:18:22,799
did it. I would call them out too, but like,

351
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,920
just gross, man, don't do that, shick.

352
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,319
Speaker 2: Maybe that's what didn't like.

353
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, hey, he's the gross crew. He said.

354
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,400
We don't want to be the gross crew. We got

355
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,839
to get this guy out of here. Okay, quick, peek

356
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,839
at the standings because we're gonna preview Clippers verse Suns,

357
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,799
which I don't know how big this game is. It

358
00:18:41,839 --> 00:18:44,839
feels like both of the teams in the game tomorrow,

359
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,039
Like not there's season hinges on it. But it's a

360
00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:51,920
real clash of sad stories, is what it is. But

361
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,960
the Clippers seed six through ten are separated by half

362
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,960
a game. The Clippers have the tiebreaker over the which

363
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,559
I believe is the only other team they have the

364
00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:05,720
tiebreaker over in that list because the Suns are smoking

365
00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:11,920
maybe the Kings. Yeah, the Suns are four and a

366
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,720
half games back of the Clippers and maybe trying to

367
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,200
make something happen. They have the hardest strength of schedule,

368
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:24,079
but they do have the tiebreaker. Things are coming to

369
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:30,480
such a stressful end for this month, specifically with how

370
00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:32,519
these standings are shaking up. I'm so happy we have

371
00:19:32,519 --> 00:19:34,839
that tiebreaker over the Warriors because this team and the

372
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:40,599
play in I don't love the chances. I don't know

373
00:19:40,599 --> 00:19:42,200
how we feel about the standings. Will what are we

374
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,799
think of before we get into this preview.

375
00:19:43,519 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 3: A little bit.

376
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,759
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's tough, it's tight. That tiebreaker over

377
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:55,599
the Warriors ends up being really really huge. Yeah, I

378
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,319
don't know it. This month is so much hinges on it. Again,

379
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,319
the Clippers are in a similar position where Marsh means

380
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,160
so much to the rest of the season. Look, you know,

381
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,880
other teams around this area could start to slide a

382
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:16,640
little bit too. I'm still liking the Clippers at six,

383
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:19,720
but it is going to be that much more difficult.

384
00:20:20,599 --> 00:20:23,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, the fifth seed, just for reference, five games ahead

385
00:20:23,799 --> 00:20:24,519
of the Clippers.

386
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, Rockets, that's out of reach.

387
00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:33,599
Speaker 2: It's six or Yeah, six are playing, which.

388
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,519
Speaker 1: Is where we kind of said they would be.

389
00:20:36,839 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 2: We said it best they could end up six. That's

390
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,720
coming into the year, and that feels it's gonna be

391
00:20:43,759 --> 00:20:44,599
a challenge.

392
00:20:44,599 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: Pretty well, I would tell man, Yeah, I would take six.

393
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,559
One of the few things we've gotten right on this podcast. Yeah,

394
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:55,799
I don't think we're catching the rockets. I've also skeptical

395
00:20:57,559 --> 00:21:02,160
that the Suns can make up four and a half

396
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,480
games on us. Yeah, I've not seen it.

397
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:09,519
Speaker 2: The Suns have the toughest strength of schedule left. I

398
00:21:09,519 --> 00:21:12,039
think they're cooked, but that doesn't mean they can't win

399
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,680
tomorrow exactly.

400
00:21:14,519 --> 00:21:18,279
Speaker 1: Okay, perfect segment, the professional, the perfect segment. We are

401
00:21:18,279 --> 00:21:20,799
going to be talking Clippers versus Suns, a must win

402
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,160
game for both teams. I don't know. It is disaster

403
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,599
in Phoenix. The vibes are weird in LA. If you're watching,

404
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,480
there's not gonna be a break. If your listener's a

405
00:21:29,519 --> 00:21:32,279
quick audio break. You can avoid those at YouTube dot

406
00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:34,279
com The Shat Clippers Podcast if you want to watch

407
00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:37,480
us see our beautiful faces. We got some ads and

408
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,519
then Clippers versus Suns coming up in three two one.

409
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back into Clips and Dip. We talked

410
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,960
to the disappointing double loss to the Lakers, a little

411
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,240
bit about where the Clippers are sitting in the standings

412
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,839
somewhere the Clippers are sitting better than would be the Suns,

413
00:21:53,279 --> 00:21:57,400
who they are taking on which they are defeated currently

414
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:02,319
against the Suns on the season three look. We talked

415
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,960
about it leading in. I don't know if in terms

416
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,200
of a tiebreaker, obviously there's nothing at stake here for

417
00:22:08,279 --> 00:22:11,319
either team. What does it mean in the Western Conference?

418
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,079
I mean, it would be nice if the Clippers could

419
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,599
win a game against the Western Conference opponent. Again, not

420
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,319
that they're moving up anywhere, but to not if things

421
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,880
do come to a tiebreaker for that for the last

422
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,680
play ins, for the last playoff spot.

423
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 3: It's not looking so hot. So in that sense, there

424
00:22:30,519 --> 00:22:30,839
is a.

425
00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 4: Lot on the line for this team and a lot

426
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,039
of the Suns because they always seem to show up

427
00:22:36,079 --> 00:22:37,880
for this this matchup.

428
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: Hate each other, We hate the Suns. The Suns are

429
00:22:41,519 --> 00:22:46,279
also imploding. There's like some vibes with Budenholzer and Devin

430
00:22:46,319 --> 00:22:47,559
Booker and like.

431
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,079
Speaker 4: It seems like they're gonna move KD now, which I

432
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,839
don't know why that would be public.

433
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: They've already talked about it.

434
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like, well, at this point of the season,

435
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,160
like this is their hope. Hey, I know it sucks

436
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,680
right now, but guys, we are going to move Kevin

437
00:23:01,759 --> 00:23:03,000
Durant this summer, so.

438
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,599
Speaker 1: Forward to that, to look forward to. This is the

439
00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:10,400
this is the Paul George shutting down the Podcast of

440
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:16,759
Actual Basketball GMing. One quick thing it is injuries are

441
00:23:16,839 --> 00:23:19,119
horrible part of the game, but the timing of certain

442
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,039
announcements can be comical. The fact that PG was like,

443
00:23:23,079 --> 00:23:25,359
I'm shutting this ship down because I got a lock in,

444
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,000
and was it the next day that the Sixers were like,

445
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,839
we gotta shut down, Joel and like, get back to

446
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,000
the pod man, It's fine, we're not doing anything.

447
00:23:35,519 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 2: Saying that being twelve games under five hundred that now

448
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,079
is time to go out and compete and turn this

449
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,720
around is wild.

450
00:23:43,319 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: So that's.

451
00:23:45,319 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 2: Hours on this.

452
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, this there would have been some peak, Yeah,

453
00:23:51,799 --> 00:23:53,039
some hate watch potding.

454
00:23:54,759 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 4: So for the we don't have to anymore. Wow, I

455
00:23:58,839 --> 00:24:02,200
was the season, be perfectly honest so far. Yeah, I

456
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,960
was dishonorably discharged from the Army of Paul George by

457
00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:05,799
Karl Tart.

458
00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:09,079
Speaker 2: So some smuck said in Philly when they brought in

459
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,880
Paul George, it's our year and they're looking pretty dumb

460
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,799
right now, fools.

461
00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:18,759
Speaker 1: So for the Clippers. There's no norm there's no Ben Simmons,

462
00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:22,279
there's no Derek Jones Junior. I haven't looked up the

463
00:24:22,319 --> 00:24:26,160
Suns injury report, but I can't imagine it's as lengthy

464
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:31,599
as that one. Yeah, I don't know, man. So since

465
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,359
the All Star Break, the Sons have the twenty ninth

466
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,640
defensive rating since the All Star Break, very large sample size,

467
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,640
the very big sample. I'll take what I can get. Man.

468
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 2: If you go back their last fourteen games, their thirtieth

469
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:47,720
in defensive.

470
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: Rating, Okay, there we go.

471
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 2: Man, there's been bad. They did not there's no help

472
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,599
in the helper going on there.

473
00:24:55,839 --> 00:24:59,039
Speaker 1: They are shooting the lights out since the All Star Break.

474
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,039
The worst three point percentage for anyone who takes more

475
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:06,160
than four threes a game is Grayson Allen. He's at

476
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,640
thirty five percent. That's not ideal. But everyone else is

477
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,880
over thirty seven and a half percent. And Bradley Beal's

478
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,319
shooting forty five percent from three since the All Start break.

479
00:25:15,759 --> 00:25:18,839
So for the whole teams are shooting well. Against the Clippers,

480
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,880
we're running into a team that's shooting well since the

481
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,240
All Star Break against everybody.

482
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 4: Can this team even school or confidently against the thirtieth

483
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:28,200
ranks defense.

484
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 3: I think it's.

485
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,519
Speaker 4: I think, given some of the absences, is something to

486
00:25:32,559 --> 00:25:33,480
be concerned.

487
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: About because the Clippers have also been bad twenty third

488
00:25:36,759 --> 00:25:39,839
defensive rating, twenty third offensive rating, twenty six in that

489
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,400
rating since the all start break.

490
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: Do you think there's a reason and the reason that

491
00:25:46,079 --> 00:25:48,119
Kawhi is playing this game of the back to back

492
00:25:48,319 --> 00:25:51,799
is we all look at that defense we can feast

493
00:25:51,839 --> 00:25:52,839
and find our offense.

494
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's a great call because they got

495
00:25:55,279 --> 00:25:58,799
the Pistons on Wednesday, which is a game that we

496
00:25:58,920 --> 00:25:59,519
hope they win.

497
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 3: But I don't know.

498
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: The Pistons are good, so might as well say, Kawhi,

499
00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:04,559
it's a conference game versus the Suns. I think we're

500
00:26:04,599 --> 00:26:05,279
totally right.

501
00:26:05,599 --> 00:26:08,319
Speaker 4: I mean, or is it more that of the two games,

502
00:26:08,319 --> 00:26:09,480
this one seems.

503
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,319
Speaker 1: More winful, which is crazy what.

504
00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:13,559
Speaker 3: You saw versus the Pistons. I mean, Pistons are good

505
00:26:13,599 --> 00:26:13,880
right now.

506
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: There's surgery right now, Like I know, but like three

507
00:26:16,559 --> 00:26:18,920
hundred and sixty five days ago, if you were like, hey,

508
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,599
next year, it's going to be more advantageous for Kawhi

509
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:27,400
to play against the Suns than against the Pisson. No, Adam.

510
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,119
I think you're totally right. And I think this is

511
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,759
a team that maybe we see him in the play

512
00:26:31,799 --> 00:26:34,519
in who know, right, Like we don't know what's going

513
00:26:34,599 --> 00:26:38,279
to happen with that, Like I hope because we just

514
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:40,279
talked to him, they we probably won't because we just

515
00:26:40,279 --> 00:26:42,880
talked about maybe this is the game we get going

516
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,839
with Kawhi initiating more offense, maybe Harden gets a little break.

517
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 2: I maybe, yeah, this is about building some good habits

518
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,880
and getting two games in a row where Kawhi looks

519
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,119
really good, Like why have them cool off for an

520
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,880
extra day when he just looked that good against the Lakers.

521
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,519
Maybe it's trying to keep Kawhi and rhythm.

522
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 4: I like that a momentum play that's definitely more positive.

523
00:27:09,079 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: We're searching, we are we are fine, we are trying

524
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,759
to find it. What do we need to go right

525
00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:20,279
for this one other than and I mean this with

526
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:25,440
full sincerity, basically almost a one for one performance from

527
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:26,880
what Kawhi had last night.

528
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,279
Speaker 4: Tomorrow, one of Bogden or Done is going to have

529
00:27:30,279 --> 00:27:32,319
to shoot better than thirty percent from three.

530
00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: And I think it's bogged in because Chris Done. It's

531
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,759
found money. If Chris Dune shoots better from three.

532
00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 4: He was great in that first Lakers game. He was,

533
00:27:40,319 --> 00:27:43,079
and not for the fouls, which I mean haunted him

534
00:27:43,079 --> 00:27:45,079
again in the second one, but not for the fowls,

535
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,079
like he could have maybe swung that that first game.

536
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's found money to me, right, it's Chris done

537
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,119
hitting threes. I'm like, great, that's I'm not banking on that.

538
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,039
We kind of have to bank on Bogden hitting threes

539
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:00,440
future wise.

540
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's really no other option going on here. Hey, Amir, guys,

541
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,759
Amir didn't take a shot last night. Did you notice

542
00:28:09,759 --> 00:28:11,920
that in twenty two minutes he was Oh for.

543
00:28:12,039 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: Oh that clink trillion stat line? I was.

544
00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 2: And he had a bad game Friday. Yeah, and he's

545
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,039
a forty three point shooter this year. That's pretty wild.

546
00:28:27,759 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: More bad news Traumato on this episode.

547
00:28:30,759 --> 00:28:34,079
Speaker 2: Uh, what's wild crazy though, is how he's going to

548
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,319
turn it around in Phoenix.

549
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,519
Speaker 1: Here we go, okay.

550
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 2: Where it's hot.

551
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:44,039
Speaker 1: What what are we looking for from hard like this?

552
00:28:44,519 --> 00:28:46,720
I want to look up his games whereas Phoenix this year.

553
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,680
But like I just it feels like we're just we

554
00:28:49,759 --> 00:28:53,480
need the most because our main contributors are older we

555
00:28:53,519 --> 00:28:55,559
need the most like base things or like, I hope

556
00:28:55,599 --> 00:28:58,039
he looks spry, like I hope he looks energized. I

557
00:28:58,039 --> 00:29:03,160
hope he's not forgetting guys at the top of the key, like, yeah.

558
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,559
Speaker 2: We can on guys just physically having it every night

559
00:29:06,599 --> 00:29:11,039
sight do they have it tonight? Do they have their legs?

560
00:29:12,079 --> 00:29:15,279
And I really hope that wasn't just Kauhi had some

561
00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:18,160
pop that night. But the next two games he's going

562
00:29:18,279 --> 00:29:19,759
for eighteen to twenty again.

563
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:24,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that is definitely something to watch for. Okay,

564
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:29,000
Harden has been pretty good against the Suns this year

565
00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:37,359
just by us losing. Yeah, man, I don't know. I'm

566
00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:39,960
trying to find some positive. Gives Zoo the ball. Let's

567
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,240
give Zoo the ball. That's something that needs to go right.

568
00:29:42,319 --> 00:29:44,599
I know we say that every single episode, but like

569
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,039
except for that two weeks where they were doing it.

570
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:49,640
But Zoo can make a lot of this stuff easier too.

571
00:29:50,319 --> 00:29:51,799
Speaker 2: Who's guarding him? Bull bull?

572
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: I think so is either they're starting.

573
00:29:56,559 --> 00:29:59,279
Speaker 2: I don't I know, he's had some numbers here and

574
00:29:59,319 --> 00:30:00,960
there recently.

575
00:30:01,119 --> 00:30:04,359
Speaker 1: And he kills the Clippers. We've watched him be like

576
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,319
a unicorn against the Clippers. And been like awesome, and

577
00:30:07,319 --> 00:30:10,079
then people he started their last game against the Timberwolves

578
00:30:10,119 --> 00:30:11,799
that they lost by almost twenty points.

579
00:30:15,839 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: I swear to God, if a Ziza Zoobas doesn't get

580
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:26,119
up thirteen shots tomorrow, you're done. I'm this close to

581
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,240
really this close.

582
00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there are They are not playing good

583
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,279
basketball they had I did not watch Phoenix versus Minnesota,

584
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,160
but you can't have a starter in Nick Richards played

585
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,920
twenty five minutes and not attempt a single shot. They're broken.

586
00:30:43,039 --> 00:30:46,000
They're They're a little broken fundamentally.

587
00:30:45,599 --> 00:30:49,599
Speaker 2: Y, which is at Nick Richards that didn't even help, which.

588
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: Is hey, slotbusters, right, this is what the Clippers need.

589
00:30:52,079 --> 00:30:55,839
We need a team that has broken internally to build

590
00:30:55,839 --> 00:30:57,039
some good momentum again.

591
00:30:57,119 --> 00:31:00,759
Speaker 2: But they're so do as well. I hate that. I

592
00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:03,559
wish they got that win against Minnesota for many reasons.

593
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,799
Speaker 1: Well, and Booker didn't have a good game, Like.

594
00:31:08,039 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 2: Booker, is that a good season? Like yeah, somebody said

595
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,160
we should trade a Visa's Zoo boss and Norman Powell

596
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,839
for Devin Booker this summer. I'm like, no, I'm not

597
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,240
giving up just Norman like Powell was better than him

598
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,480
this season. I mean, I probably would, but I'm definitely

599
00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:25,279
not doing both.

600
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: I would probably do Norm Powell for Devin Booker future

601
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:34,039
I wouldn't do. Would you do Zoo for Devin Booker?

602
00:31:34,039 --> 00:31:34,559
Straight up?

603
00:31:35,079 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 2: I don't think I would.

604
00:31:37,119 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: Well, it's not like the backup center. It's not like

605
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,440
we have anyone to slide into that backup center roll

606
00:31:41,519 --> 00:31:43,759
to pick up any of the slacks, like you know,

607
00:31:43,839 --> 00:31:44,400
I could see it.

608
00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: I think about it, but I'm not doing both.

609
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: But I'm not doing both. Yeah, man, if we can't,

610
00:31:56,759 --> 00:32:01,359
are we are we more worried about we know what

611
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,119
the offense is.

612
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,599
Speaker 4: One thing on the offense though, so we're We're six

613
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,640
and nine, I think in our last fifteen and those

614
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,960
games correct me if I'm wrong, but they almost perfectly

615
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,720
coincide with Harden has in that same fifteen games span.

616
00:32:20,599 --> 00:32:23,279
H he has nine games shooting sub.

617
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: From the floor.

618
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,039
Speaker 3: And I believe woof.

619
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 4: I want to say that that account that that is

620
00:32:29,559 --> 00:32:31,200
every one of those losses.

621
00:32:32,039 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: I can see it.

622
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:37,079
Speaker 4: Ooh ooh, Nope, we won, we won. We won a couple.

623
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:43,200
It looks like we won two games, maybe three games.

624
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 3: It looks like, yeah, so.

625
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 2: The shooting numbers are on our side. Yeah, some games

626
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:49,880
we shouldn't have.

627
00:32:50,319 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, we won two games we shouldn't have in the

628
00:32:52,759 --> 00:32:58,799
fifteen gamespan where we went six and nine. Yeah. Man,

629
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,400
I feel like, are we more worried? So since the

630
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,000
All Star break? I mentioned they're twenty third defensive rating

631
00:33:04,039 --> 00:33:06,519
twenty third offensive rating, which isn't too far away from

632
00:33:06,519 --> 00:33:08,680
where they've been all year. I think they've been stuck

633
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,119
at twenty two ish. Are we more worried about the

634
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,359
offense or the defense this game? I'm gonna be honest, specifically,

635
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,319
I'm so worried about this game because our top tier

636
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,200
guys are not playing well enough to make up for

637
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,359
the fact that Derek Jones, Junior, Ben Simmons, and Norm

638
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,599
Power are going to be out well.

639
00:33:25,839 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 2: I will say they were plenty good enough against the

640
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,680
Lakers both games. Defensively, they were Dalton connect going off

641
00:33:34,799 --> 00:33:38,079
like that his best game since November, right, A couple

642
00:33:38,119 --> 00:33:40,480
of those they were not wide open. You had like

643
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:42,279
a step back. It was ridiculous.

644
00:33:42,519 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Shake.

645
00:33:43,279 --> 00:33:45,599
Speaker 2: Milton going two of two from three, who is having

646
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,920
a rough year. That was brutal. I mean they won

647
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,319
the minutes Friday night when Luca and Lebron were on

648
00:33:54,359 --> 00:33:57,279
the court. They won those minutes against.

649
00:33:57,039 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: Them, but they got they did not win the other minutes,

650
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,119
which are the minutes you gotta win.

651
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 2: But that's why coach Luke came out afterwards that, like

652
00:34:10,559 --> 00:34:12,159
Friday night, he said, this is a game we should

653
00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:14,320
have won. This is a game you gotta win. If

654
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,519
you win the Luka Lebron minutes, how do you lose

655
00:34:16,599 --> 00:34:20,039
the game? Well, their bench was bad. I think they

656
00:34:20,039 --> 00:34:24,119
had fourteen points off the bench, and I don't know

657
00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:28,840
if that's gonna get much much better without Norm right now.

658
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: Or Derek Jones junior or right like, because it's.

659
00:34:32,559 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 2: Bogie's gotta be better, but he might be starting, so.

660
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: Yeah what he kind of take a shot? Yeah? Will

661
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,760
you were You're more worried about the offense. Yeah, yeah,

662
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,079
we've seen the defense be very good, so it makes

663
00:34:45,119 --> 00:34:48,440
sense to not be worried about him. This offense just keeps.

664
00:34:49,599 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 4: You would just I mean, you would just hope you

665
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,960
could do something against the thirtieth rank defense. You would

666
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,800
hope that you could get a little something going.

667
00:34:58,159 --> 00:35:03,519
Speaker 1: We're gonna need I mean, Carden, Kawhi, and Zoo are

668
00:35:03,559 --> 00:35:05,960
all gonna have to be at twenty points to get

669
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:13,000
the win. Tomorrow because like Jordan Miller's gonna get time tomorrow. Yeah,

670
00:35:13,039 --> 00:35:14,199
with how little guys we.

671
00:35:14,199 --> 00:35:17,599
Speaker 4: Have, can he be the remedy the Clippers bench scoring was.

672
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,079
Speaker 2: It was not yesterday.

673
00:35:20,519 --> 00:35:21,039
Speaker 3: Okay.

674
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,039
Speaker 1: People were so mad yesterday. They're like, how could we're

675
00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:27,800
playing Kobe Brown and Jordan Mill. It's like, guys, you

676
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,599
get mad when tylu doesn't play the young guys. Then

677
00:35:31,639 --> 00:35:34,599
there's foul trouble and we're down a guy and you're

678
00:35:34,679 --> 00:35:37,440
mad that he's playing the young guys. It's okay to

679
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,920
just be frustrated at the whole product. It's just be

680
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,320
frustrated with the whole thing. Don't try and zero it

681
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,039
in right now. There's a lot of issues you can

682
00:35:44,079 --> 00:35:48,960
be frustrated at. But like the fouls undone were crazy.

683
00:35:51,079 --> 00:35:53,000
Is that we're not gonna.

684
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 2: Good whistle last night at all.

685
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,119
Speaker 1: It was bad, But like we're here now, we're on

686
00:35:59,159 --> 00:36:00,480
the play of the young, Like we're gonna see some

687
00:36:00,559 --> 00:36:02,960
young guys tomorrow. Let's hope Jordan Miller can shoot over

688
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:07,480
forty or like whatever the hell we need, Like when

689
00:36:07,519 --> 00:36:10,360
he drew you banks to be good tomorrow because he

690
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,440
will be getting minutes.

691
00:36:12,119 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 2: He was pretty good yesterday.

692
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: I gotta say, Okay, you're ordered the jersey right now.

693
00:36:18,519 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 2: Hold on, guys, I'll bear it back.

694
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm getting a half world, be free, half of

695
00:36:22,199 --> 00:36:27,400
you banks jersey. It's what I'm kidding out of it.

696
00:36:28,039 --> 00:36:28,840
Go ahead.

697
00:36:29,119 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 2: No, I was, I'll be honest. I think they had

698
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,360
already gone two minutes scoreless at that point. Coach who

699
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,440
said I need some energy I got. I'm looking for something.

700
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,360
As you mentioned, guys are in foul trouble, they're down

701
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:47,239
norm pal, they have to do something. I was fine

702
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,000
with the idea of it. I don't think that was

703
00:36:50,039 --> 00:36:53,360
the reason they lost the game. Now, the Clippers ended

704
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,679
up going seven minutes and thirty four seconds without making

705
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,519
a point, not a shot, just scoring a point to

706
00:36:59,639 --> 00:37:03,119
end the same and that was that's an all timer.

707
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: That is like, is that the longest stretch? I mean,

708
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,880
what's in the last five years, what's the longest stretch

709
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,880
of basketball they've gone without scoring a point?

710
00:37:11,119 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 2: And k why was out there for like four minutes

711
00:37:13,039 --> 00:37:13,239
of it?

712
00:37:13,559 --> 00:37:17,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, it can't be far off of seven forty five.

713
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,639
I don't know anything else you want to say about

714
00:37:21,639 --> 00:37:26,760
this must win game. If so, this is what bothers

715
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,559
me about this game. I do have one thing else

716
00:37:28,599 --> 00:37:32,519
I will say, if the Clippers lose this game, this

717
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,400
is the game that gives a team like the Suns

718
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:39,440
a hey whoa oh shit, mabe.

719
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,119
Speaker 3: I think it might be past that point.

720
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,199
Speaker 1: I agree. But if there's one team to give a

721
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,159
team belief when they are fundamentally broken and the star

722
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,000
player and the head coach are kind of having a

723
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,559
public spat through the media, it is this Clippers team,

724
00:37:54,559 --> 00:37:57,320
and it is this Phoenix team to be dickheads and

725
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,679
get the win and then have some scenario where we're

726
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,920
staring at the ten seed because we don't have the tiebreaker,

727
00:38:04,079 --> 00:38:05,679
handedly do not have the time breaker.

728
00:38:07,679 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 2: I don't think Phoenix can get back into the play

729
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,159
and maybe they can.

730
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 1: They do have talent, but norms out for two weeks.

731
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 2: They can definitely win this game. I completely agree that

732
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,239
they're looking at the Clippers like food. This is the

733
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,599
team we always beat and have a mental edge over,

734
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,639
because if you look at how they won those first

735
00:38:25,639 --> 00:38:28,440
two games this season. The first game into god damn

736
00:38:28,519 --> 00:38:30,400
first gave it into it. They're down nine with three

737
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,039
and a half minutes left. They come back, take an

738
00:38:32,079 --> 00:38:35,760
overtime and win the second fing game, the Clippers were

739
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:40,559
up twenty one, and they went fifteen of fifteen shooting

740
00:38:40,639 --> 00:38:43,880
to start the third quarter. Things I'll never see again

741
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:49,320
in my life. They hit fifteen straight shots. They got

742
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,840
confidence against the Clippers.

743
00:38:52,599 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: That they do Okay, player of the game picks, everyone's

744
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,559
on the table. We're throwing out the rules because the Clippers.

745
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,679
Kawhi has not played good enough consistently. Harden looks exhausted.

746
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:12,039
They don't care that Zoo's out there. Will, who is

747
00:39:12,079 --> 00:39:16,920
your pick for the Please? Can we just get a

748
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,119
win against the Suns. Player of the game and we're

749
00:39:20,119 --> 00:39:21,760
not doing I know we haven't talked about the game

750
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,280
against the Pistons. That game feels like a punt at

751
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,440
this point. Kawhi is not going to play. I can't

752
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,559
imagine they bring Norm back for it, and I hope

753
00:39:28,599 --> 00:39:32,599
they sit Derek Jones Junior. So like that game's maybe

754
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,519
off the table. I'm very negative right now. I apologize,

755
00:39:36,559 --> 00:39:37,239
Will your pick.

756
00:39:38,039 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 4: I'm going bogey, I'm really really I'm putting it all

757
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:43,239
on the line here. Man.

758
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,880
Speaker 1: That the craziest take ever said on this podcast. But

759
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:47,800
we need it.

760
00:39:47,639 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 4: It's yeah, it just shoot above thirty from three Man like,

761
00:39:53,679 --> 00:39:57,760
just do that and you'll you'll win the very prestigious

762
00:39:58,079 --> 00:40:02,880
Player of the Game award from I. And who knows, uh,

763
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,119
this could actually spill over into the Pistons game as well.

764
00:40:05,159 --> 00:40:05,679
Speaker 3: You never know.

765
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 4: It's pretty crazy world out there. Pretty crazy things can happen.

766
00:40:08,639 --> 00:40:10,519
But yeah, man, he's got to turn it around and

767
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:15,079
uh going up again distress against the thirtieth ranks defense

768
00:40:15,159 --> 00:40:17,639
would be would be the time to do it?

769
00:40:18,599 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 1: Okay, we have will with Bogey.

770
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,119
Speaker 3: I know it's an insane thing.

771
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:28,519
Speaker 1: Oh no, bro, Every the last forty minutes, I feel

772
00:40:28,559 --> 00:40:33,599
like I've been descending slowly into insanity talking about this team.

773
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:39,239
Adam your pick for player of the game against the Suns.

774
00:40:40,599 --> 00:40:45,679
Speaker 2: I see your Bogey pick. I like to live dangerously too.

775
00:40:47,079 --> 00:40:48,480
I'm taking Norman Powell.

776
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 1: Just the fuck.

777
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 2: The vibes from Norman Powell and the Vet. No, uh,

778
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:03,280
we can take anybody, fine, you know what. I'm taking

779
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,400
James Harden. He's been worse than Logan the last two games.

780
00:41:07,119 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: Sure in terms of rolling everything ride.

781
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 2: For thirty six s twenty five percent from the field.

782
00:41:15,679 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? I think that's a perfectly reasonable pick

783
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:24,079
and a good reason to do it all right. I'm

784
00:41:24,079 --> 00:41:26,480
not gonna say Kawhi or Zoo, but we very much

785
00:41:26,599 --> 00:41:31,760
need the three twenty club to form tomorrow night. Who

786
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:38,000
is laught? Who else is on the roster? Man, I

787
00:41:38,039 --> 00:41:38,400
don't know.

788
00:41:39,599 --> 00:41:42,519
Speaker 2: Take a mirror, do it? He might take a shot.

789
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,519
Speaker 1: It's it's got well. We need like we need every

790
00:41:45,519 --> 00:41:47,599
I'm gonna yeah, I'll go a mirror. We need a

791
00:41:47,599 --> 00:41:52,519
shot of espresso. Like he hates the suns, I think

792
00:41:54,079 --> 00:41:57,320
let's go a mere. I do not feel good going

793
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:02,480
into this day. I help clippers talk a ture for you, Adam.

794
00:42:02,519 --> 00:42:04,840
I can't imagine. It was very fun. After the Lakers games.

795
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:10,119
Speaker 2: I had a guy collin last night named Rick, and

796
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,880
he's like, He's like, we're not a championship caliber team.

797
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,519
I'm like, look the do I didn't hit him with

798
00:42:19,599 --> 00:42:24,039
the due. I said. The idea was, you get healthy,

799
00:42:24,199 --> 00:42:26,760
you have a healthy Kuhi and seven game series and

800
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,920
you can compete with is about anybody in the West.

801
00:42:29,199 --> 00:42:30,280
And I still believe that.

802
00:42:30,519 --> 00:42:33,039
Speaker 1: I do. Okay, I don't know if it's ever.

803
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 2: Gonna happen because they're more banged up now.

804
00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:38,079
Speaker 1: I will defend your right to believe things I don't

805
00:42:38,079 --> 00:42:39,000
believe in At him.

806
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,679
Speaker 2: With the way you Kawi look last night. I'm like,

807
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,239
that's that's your number one guy, That's what you did.

808
00:42:48,199 --> 00:42:50,079
And if they could get back to playing the level

809
00:42:50,079 --> 00:42:52,840
of defense they were consistently and teams, you know, just

810
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,119
start missing. Because the last fifteen games they're shooting thirty

811
00:42:56,199 --> 00:42:58,599
nine percent from three against the Clippers. It's the highest

812
00:42:58,599 --> 00:43:03,039
three point percentage against anybody. So I still think there's

813
00:43:03,039 --> 00:43:06,639
a path to make noise in the playoffs. Lost gotta

814
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,800
changed soon. But this guy was like trying to compare

815
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,719
them to the Lakers and saying how the Lakers try

816
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,159
to compete every year, and like, wait a second, dude,

817
00:43:18,079 --> 00:43:21,800
because they got handed Luka Doncic on a silver platter

818
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,440
does not mean you should be criticizing the Clippers, Like

819
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,719
why didn't you get Luka donci They got super lucky

820
00:43:30,079 --> 00:43:34,119
and everybody knew before that they were going nowhere fast.

821
00:43:35,199 --> 00:43:38,400
They maybe went around maybe two at best, but their

822
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:45,079
ceiling was pretty low. I mean, I can't, I don't know.

823
00:43:45,159 --> 00:43:47,880
It's just that is part of what's going on right

824
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,519
now with the vibes. Look at the Lakers, look at

825
00:43:50,559 --> 00:43:54,440
them versus us. It's like, look at them, everybody they

826
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,400
all wanted. Rob Polinka fired a month ago, and now

827
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:02,239
because Luca fell in there, they're doing things right and

828
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:03,760
the Clippers are doing things wrong.

829
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 1: Have the Clippers considered fleecing a GM for a top

830
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:12,199
three player of all time? Has that even crossed their mind? Yeah?

831
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:12,679
I don't know.

832
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,400
Speaker 2: Lawrence Frank should have had highs at Nike that go

833
00:44:16,559 --> 00:44:19,679
back twenty five years with Rob Polenka, like he met

834
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:20,599
Why wasn't he there?

835
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: Foolish? My hindsight crazy good, That's all I want to say.

836
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:28,840
My hindsight is some of the best out there. All right,

837
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,239
coming up, let us know your picks over at Clippers

838
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,440
pod on Twitter or at Clippers podcast on YouTube. We're

839
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,320
gonna talk March and then some Jordan Miller stuff and

840
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,199
then we'll get out of here. There's some audio ads

841
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,239
coming up, and then March and Jordan Miller talking three

842
00:44:44,519 --> 00:44:45,320
two one.

843
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:51,079
Speaker 2: Welcome back in episode of fifty of season three, Oh

844
00:44:51,119 --> 00:44:52,880
Clips and Dip. I'm at a mawesome We've got Chef

845
00:44:52,920 --> 00:45:01,800
Moppler and Will Updyke and Chuck's favorite subject, Marsh. They

846
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,920
are about to be upon us. I think that's middle

847
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,320
of Marsh what that means. But we'll be there soon enough.

848
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,920
But it's not as dire as it was last year

849
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,719
when there was seventeen games in March that was the

850
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:18,159
real test. Now it's only sixteen child's play. This is

851
00:45:18,159 --> 00:45:19,920
a walk in the park for the Clippers, right.

852
00:45:20,119 --> 00:45:25,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, extra practice day, Are you kidding me? Yeah? So

853
00:45:25,159 --> 00:45:28,039
we got the Suns Pistons back to back starting tomorrow,

854
00:45:28,679 --> 00:45:31,679
then home versus the Knicks, day off, home versus the Kings,

855
00:45:32,039 --> 00:45:34,840
and we fly to New Orleans for a Pel's Heat

856
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,719
back to back. Then a four game home stand against

857
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,880
the Hornets, Calves, Grizzlies and Thunder, and then away for

858
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,960
four games against the Knicks, Nets, Calves and Magic. Calves

859
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:49,079
and Magic is a back to back. There's no easy stretch.

860
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:53,280
All of it is difficult. There is one or two easy,

861
00:45:53,559 --> 00:45:58,960
easy games, which is Hornets and Nets. Everyone else is

862
00:45:59,079 --> 00:46:03,880
a very difficult opponent for the Clippers team. The Clippers

863
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,679
are already oh and one in March, will Adam, what

864
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,159
is your prediction for their record this month? They're already

865
00:46:10,199 --> 00:46:13,199
oh and one? So unfortunately, I know you guys were

866
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,519
talking undefeated talk off air about March. That was that

867
00:46:16,679 --> 00:46:20,039
was the whole group chat, was what's our point difference

868
00:46:20,039 --> 00:46:23,599
we're gonna be when we go undefeated in March. Will

869
00:46:23,639 --> 00:46:25,679
what is your pick for the record in March? Not

870
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,599
what they need to be to be a sixth seed,

871
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:38,039
which is probably twelve four looking at it. March third, six,

872
00:46:38,119 --> 00:46:42,760
twenty six PM. I can understand settling for a mate, Adam,

873
00:46:43,599 --> 00:46:51,119
what say you e two? Adam? The lines of March jokes. Yeah,

874
00:46:51,159 --> 00:46:54,000
we got some listeners, might not have. They're not as

875
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,960
well learned. I don't know. They probably don't more.

876
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 2: Do you guys have to remember, like memorize fifty lines

877
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:03,599
from Caesar in high school? I know we had some reason.

878
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, pizza Pizza, I said that fifty I got your lye. No,

879
00:47:11,119 --> 00:47:12,039
did you have to do that?

880
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:13,119
Speaker 2: Yeah?

881
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,599
Speaker 1: That sounds like something they'd make you do at a schoolhouse.

882
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 2: It was tough. This English teacher had a wild hair.

883
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,039
I don't know what his problem was.

884
00:47:21,159 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 1: How much do you remember of it?

885
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 2: I remember none of my lines at all. They say

886
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,840
you forget stuff like six months after the class is over,

887
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,159
like you're pretty much so. I don't know what the

888
00:47:32,159 --> 00:47:34,159
point of school, and the point the point is in

889
00:47:34,199 --> 00:47:34,840
the first.

890
00:47:34,679 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 1: Anti school, this podcast school, I want to make that

891
00:47:40,159 --> 00:47:40,880
very clear the.

892
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:46,119
Speaker 2: Whole education thing if you forget it six months anyways,

893
00:47:46,599 --> 00:47:47,159
I don't.

894
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 3: Even think how weird you find this. I don't think school.

895
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,280
Speaker 1: Sounds like you remember that though.

896
00:47:56,360 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, if I'm being alter, if I'm being realistic,

897
00:48:04,039 --> 00:48:06,519
eight and eight, yeah, with the injuries. It's because of

898
00:48:06,559 --> 00:48:09,360
the damn injuries. Otherwise I'd probably go I might go

899
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:13,519
ten and six, and that is health.

900
00:48:14,199 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 4: It being improvement over six and nine.

901
00:48:16,639 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: Ten and six does unfortunately feel like miles away from

902
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,840
eight to eight when it's really not right like, so

903
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,079
it's not that crazy. But if Norm is out for

904
00:48:28,039 --> 00:48:29,719
because there's a lot of games coming up, So if

905
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,960
Norman is out for those, and then Derek Jones Junior

906
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,960
is banged up, Simmons is hurt, it seems.

907
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 4: Like like ballpark Norm is gonna miss at least seven games.

908
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: Let me look up this. I don't know how I

909
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,159
don't have eight and eight feels pretty good. So he's

910
00:48:50,199 --> 00:48:53,280
missing let's go ahead and chalk it up. He's missing

911
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:58,760
Sons and pistons. There's two. I don't think he would

912
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:02,760
play on March seventh or March ninth, which is against

913
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,360
the Kings and Knicks. Then there's a back to back

914
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,400
the eleventh and twelfth, so he's probably missing one of

915
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,880
those if he can come back, and the twelfth would

916
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:24,039
be under two weeks. He's missing at least six games. Yeah,

917
00:49:24,119 --> 00:49:29,039
eight and eight with nor missing minimum six games, I'm

918
00:49:29,039 --> 00:49:34,159
feeling good is not the right word. I'm I'm feeling.

919
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,079
Speaker 4: I mean, that's something to put your hat on eight

920
00:49:38,119 --> 00:49:40,199
missing norm for seven games.

921
00:49:40,559 --> 00:49:42,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, you hang your hat on that and then it

922
00:49:42,639 --> 00:49:46,320
immediately falls, it comes out of the wall because you

923
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:47,360
didn't put it into it.

924
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 2: That's gonna put him in the plane. If they go

925
00:49:52,039 --> 00:49:54,000
eight and eight, they're.

926
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:59,280
Speaker 1: Just gonna be in the plan. I think more likely

927
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,199
than not. It is an anomaly that they have the

928
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,159
tiebreaker over the Warriors, given how we've watched them play

929
00:50:05,199 --> 00:50:08,679
against every other conference opponent. Are we nineteen? We're twenty

930
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:15,960
and twenty in conference play. It's a bad record. Yeah,

931
00:50:16,039 --> 00:50:19,840
they're going to be a playing team, and you know,

932
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:21,920
I'm going to be there and I'm gonna be weeping.

933
00:50:22,079 --> 00:50:26,639
Speaker 2: But it's a real path. There's a real path to

934
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,159
playing the Lakers in the first round this year.

935
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:31,599
Speaker 1: Will and I were talking about that when things were

936
00:50:31,599 --> 00:50:35,360
getting bleak last night. I'll tell you what. I want

937
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,719
to avoid that at all costs. Let's be in the

938
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,440
play in and lose instead of playing the Lakers in

939
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,719
the first round get shit rocked.

940
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,639
Speaker 2: Not the year where you feel most confident in that meshup.

941
00:50:48,119 --> 00:50:50,599
Speaker 1: No, despite it being our year, which is why this

942
00:50:50,639 --> 00:50:52,760
is so difficult to kind of wrap my head around.

943
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 4: I mean, we did win Ron and lucam in it.

944
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,480
You gotta figure and they would play pretty heavily in

945
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:03,480
a playoff series, so.

946
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:08,039
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, yep, No, I like this logic. I think

947
00:51:08,079 --> 00:51:08,679
you're not.

948
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 4: Less bench playing those playoff games, so kind of liking

949
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:12,880
where the Clippers are at.

950
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,199
Speaker 1: Well, it helps the Clippers too, because I means Bogie's

951
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:21,039
not taking shots. If there's less bench play man, things

952
00:51:21,039 --> 00:51:23,039
don't feel good right now? Okay, yeah, I'm gonna go

953
00:51:23,079 --> 00:51:24,760
eight and eight. You know what, I'm gonna go nine

954
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:31,039
and seven, you pessimists, I'm going nine and seven. I

955
00:51:31,079 --> 00:51:35,039
have no other logic other than we really need it

956
00:51:35,119 --> 00:51:37,599
and maybe Kawhi starts hitting his stride more. I like,

957
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:39,559
I'm really gonna be watching what Adam said about, like,

958
00:51:39,599 --> 00:51:42,559
what does Kawi look like tomorrow? Does it look the same,

959
00:51:42,559 --> 00:51:44,280
because if it looks the same. I feel a lot better.

960
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:49,519
I don't feel good, but I feel a lot better. Okay,

961
00:51:49,519 --> 00:51:52,719
more uplifting news. I guess Jordan Miller signed a full contract.

962
00:51:53,039 --> 00:51:55,519
He gets part of the non taxpayer mL ee in

963
00:51:55,559 --> 00:51:58,559
his for in his four year deal one point one

964
00:51:58,599 --> 00:52:02,000
million this year, two point two, next year two point four,

965
00:52:02,039 --> 00:52:04,559
the year after that two point six and twenty seven

966
00:52:04,559 --> 00:52:08,199
to twenty eight. The final three seasons are non guaranteed

967
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:13,239
and the final season is a team option. How do

968
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:18,239
we feel about this contract? Does this mean anything? I

969
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,400
don't want to sound disrespectful. I'm very happy for Jordan

970
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:25,199
MILLERBN steal or.

971
00:52:26,679 --> 00:52:27,599
Speaker 2: Not that big of a deal.

972
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 5: Steal or not that big of a deal. That should

973
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:35,320
be the new haggle, no haggle will Where are you

974
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,159
at on Jordan Miller? Everyone was very excited about him.

975
00:52:38,519 --> 00:52:41,719
He looked good a couple of games and then looked

976
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,000
like he was getting his legs used to playing real

977
00:52:44,119 --> 00:52:47,239
NBA competition. And I think it's fallen out of favor

978
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,920
with some fans who yet young guys.

979
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,119
Speaker 4: I think it makes sense a little up and down

980
00:52:53,159 --> 00:52:56,440
start to his career. I think having an actual roster spot,

981
00:52:56,519 --> 00:52:58,679
you know when the contract does sort of change things

982
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:03,119
could be It just depends on how you look at

983
00:53:03,119 --> 00:53:06,920
the Clippers' sort of future plans, like are these young

984
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,079
guys an actual step towards development or is this just

985
00:53:10,199 --> 00:53:13,559
kind of, you know, waiting, Like is this sort of

986
00:53:13,639 --> 00:53:16,519
just waiting the tides until they can make a big

987
00:53:16,519 --> 00:53:23,119
swing in in free agency twenty twenty six? So yeah,

988
00:53:23,199 --> 00:53:25,599
so I think like depending on how you view the

989
00:53:25,599 --> 00:53:28,280
Clippers future, I think is sort of like the lens through,

990
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,199
which is how much merit or onus you can put

991
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,760
on any of these sort of contracts.

992
00:53:35,119 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 1: He should get time next year because, as you mentioned,

993
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,800
there's gonna be also everybody either put your seat belt

994
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:42,559
tighter or take the seat belt off, depending on what

995
00:53:42,559 --> 00:53:44,360
you want the results to be. Next year is going

996
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,840
to be very similar to this year. The books open

997
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,800
up after next year. Yeah, yes, it's going to be harder.

998
00:53:50,039 --> 00:53:52,679
So Jordan Miller should get some time to show and

999
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,159
get some development next year.

1000
00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:00,159
Speaker 2: You want to know what's hard? Do I see the

1001
00:54:00,199 --> 00:54:03,039
Warriors pass you in the standings in real time? Watch

1002
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:06,880
and the Skippers are in the plane?

1003
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: Are you serious?

1004
00:54:09,199 --> 00:54:13,559
Speaker 2: The Warriors are about to beat the Charlotte Hornets and

1005
00:54:13,599 --> 00:54:16,039
they will be thirty three and twenty eight, Clippers thirty

1006
00:54:16,039 --> 00:54:16,760
two and twenty eight.

1007
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 1: Good good, feeling good on a Monday.

1008
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:31,280
Speaker 4: Oh god, So now we're both Sons and Pistons.

1009
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:32,639
Speaker 3: Games must wins.

1010
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 1: Yeah we're not going to but yeah, Drew eu Banks

1011
00:54:39,039 --> 00:54:41,119
is gonna go for thirty five and ten against the Pistons.

1012
00:54:41,159 --> 00:54:46,840
That's what we need to happen. Bogi will make two threes. PJ.

1013
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:48,559
Tucker will come out and play some good defense.

1014
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:52,199
Speaker 3: We'll pick him back up.

1015
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: We'll pick it back up. I think. I think once

1016
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:55,920
you've been in the NBA long enough, you should just

1017
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,639
get a pass that you can appear for one game

1018
00:54:58,679 --> 00:55:01,360
for every team.

1019
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 2: It's crazy a guy like that. It's just out there.

1020
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 1: Really, it makes you think, really makes you think. Man,

1021
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,239
a lot of shit started going down hill. We'll see

1022
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,480
what's off the team, all right, anything else or something

1023
00:55:12,639 --> 00:55:17,760
I could anything else about Jordan Miller before we send

1024
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,440
these Clippers fans mercifully into the rest of the week.

1025
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 2: Obab, he plays well tomorrow, I agree with you. He's

1026
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,000
gonna be getting run probably the next two games.

1027
00:55:28,519 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: There we go. Terrence Man had a feud with Luca

1028
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,639
a time for Jordan Miller, the newest full time Clipper

1029
00:55:33,679 --> 00:55:35,719
to start a feud with someone on another hated team

1030
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:40,400
that we don't like. All right, thanks for hanging out.

1031
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,840
This is a onetle more dark episodes. You'll see if

1032
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,559
Clips and Dip usually were pretty positive. But it was

1033
00:55:45,559 --> 00:55:49,000
a pretty rough weekend except for you know, happy some

1034
00:55:49,639 --> 00:55:52,920
certain people want oscars. That was cool. We might do

1035
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:56,000
some postgame streams this week, possibly tomorrow against the Suns.

1036
00:55:56,119 --> 00:55:58,119

1057
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,440
fans with one positive thing before this back to back

1058
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,960
against the Pistons and sons of the Pistons.

1059
00:56:58,119 --> 00:57:02,599
Speaker 2: Did you see Cohi later night? You look and Lebron

1060
00:57:03,039 --> 00:57:07,480
Lebron looked his age for once. Kawhi was moving, Kawhi

1061
00:57:07,599 --> 00:57:11,159
was turning the corner on guys, and that was just

1062
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:14,519
game two of him having the minutes restriction off. So

1063
00:57:14,559 --> 00:57:17,400
what could be coming tomorrow? Against the Phoenix Suns who

1064
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:18,480
everybody hates.

1065
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,599
Speaker 1: Everybody, even their own fans, but.

1066
00:57:21,559 --> 00:57:23,239
Speaker 2: Here's they hate their teammates.

1068
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,000
