00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:15,199
Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans? Welcome to the postgame

2
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:21,199
hang December twenty third. The Clippers just dispatched the Memphis

3
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,440
Grizzlies at home for their best win of the season.

4
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,199
Joel Old postgame hang here at YouTube dot com slash

5
00:00:28,199 --> 00:00:30,960
at Clippers podcast. Come hang out if you're just listening

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,320
to this, because I am going to put this out

7
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:39,240
as just some audio later. Hell of a game. I mean,

8
00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:43,399
Adam and I talked about this on the pregame episode

9
00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:46,439
that this was going to be the Clippers best win

10
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,520
of the season if they got this win. And they

11
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,159
got the win, there was some things leading up to

12
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,039
this game that made it feel incredibly Dicey Zoo was

13
00:00:56,119 --> 00:01:01,960
downgraded to questionable and then he comes back and puts

14
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:07,599
up twenty and twenty. So I mean, I probably play

15
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,920
the game of eats the zoo bots. It was an

16
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:17,560
incredibly it's a weird game in Memphis. The the second quarter,

17
00:01:17,599 --> 00:01:19,359
the end of the second quarter was really bleak. The

18
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:22,959
end of the third didn't feel super good. But the

19
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,920
Clippers got a lot of good stuff in this game.

20
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,159
We're gonna talk about the Kawhi Leonard news that came

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,879
out as well, he's not gonna be playing on Friday.

22
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,920
We'll get to that. Yeah, there's a lot of good

23
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,519
performances in this one. Chris Done. While he did not

24
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:43,480
make threes late, which didn't matter, he played incredibly clutch

25
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,400
defense on John Morant. He played good defense on John

26
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:49,920
Morant most of the night. So hats off to Chris Done.

27
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:55,040
Absolutely great performance from him. Zoo had twenty and twenty,

28
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,120
which makes absolutely no sense. Norm had what a third

29
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,280
Norman had twenty nine. He came on late, he was huge.

30
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,959
Harden had a little five oh run in the fourth quarter,

31
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,400
a personal five oh run that that just helped the

32
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,800
Clippers just get over shit. Steve Rodriguez saying, you guys

33
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,680
honestly made me think there was no real chance to

34
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:19,280
win this one. There's a very tough game coming into it.

35
00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:23,080
The Grizzlies are a really good team, their second in

36
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,240
the Western Conference for a very good reason. You look

37
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,199
at him on paper. On paper, they're an incredibly good team.

38
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:31,199
But the Clippers were able to bounce back from kind

39
00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:34,319
of some some poor stretches in this game to lockdown

40
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:44,400
on defense, especially in the fourth. It was awesome to see. Yeah,

41
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:47,759
there was there was a lot of weird stuff with

42
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,240
a lot of good stuff. I do have to we

43
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,240
have to give a nod to Kevin Porter Junior. He

44
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,879
was a he was a positive. He was a plus

45
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:01,120
one in his minutes tonight. That was needed. There was

46
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:03,960
a couple of good stretches where he There's still some

47
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,520
decision making stuff, but a lot of good stuff to

48
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,719
build on from KPJ. In this one. I thought it

49
00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:11,319
was one of his better games and a Clippers win,

50
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,080
which is great to see. Norm twenty nine points. We

51
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:16,199
needed it. We talked about how hard and Norm we're

52
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,800
gonna have to combine for maybe sixty. They had fifty,

53
00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:24,879
which we'll take. We needed it, thankfully. Zoo came in clutch.

54
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:31,039
Sue was so physical today. He was incredibly physical. Yes,

55
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,759
Metal Slug twenty six. Uh. He played good defense on

56
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,719
Jared Jackson Junior because we needed it. Jared Jackson Junr.

57
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,400
Was featured heavily by the Grizzlies in this game. That

58
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:44,800
was That was a very It seemed like a very

59
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,599
clear emphasis that the Grizzlies had made. Manny Lopez saying,

60
00:03:49,639 --> 00:03:52,080
just got home from work to watch the fourth quarter. Yeah,

61
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,800
because I'll tell you what it didn't look as good

62
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,360
as it did as the fourth loooked Manny, so I

63
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,840
hope you enjoy it. Mike Money bring bringing some bad

64
00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:02,759
vibes in the chat, saying great, Debbie, but wake me

65
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,639
up when Kawai actually plays. Okay, come on, let's be

66
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,879
happy about it. Back to the Jaron Jackson Junior thing.

67
00:04:11,879 --> 00:04:13,759
Someone in the chat was talking about how Jared Jackson

68
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,680
Junior zoo played good defense to get him against him.

69
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,519
He did. We also saw some really bad defense against

70
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,959
Jaron Jackson Jr. Which was mobamba mobamba again, really bad

71
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,079
first stint, second stint. Mobamba might be a thing. He

72
00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:31,560
was a lot better in a second stint. A lot

73
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,360
of clippers tonight. Everyone was kind of low at the

74
00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:38,680
same time and then high at the same time, if

75
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,959
that makes sense in a hostile environment. There's a lot

76
00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:44,319
of lot of yapp in in this game. I feel like,

77
00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:48,399
if you watch this game and can corroborate that, let

78
00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:54,040
me know when it was really cool to see Tylero

79
00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:56,199
make some adjustments in this game. They start so they

80
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,160
started doubling off of Chris Dunn in the fourth quarter

81
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,079
the Grizzlies did. He missed two wide open corner threes,

82
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,920
which sucks, would have made this game a lot easier.

83
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,680
No big deal. He's out there for his defense. He

84
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,600
played clutch defense on John Morant Lake, what the point

85
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,839
is They started doubling off done Tyler moving to the

86
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,160
other side, they were able to move the ball after

87
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:19,959
a timeout, with like thirty five seconds left, Harden got it.

88
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,240
They doubled him, passed it to a tomb touched past

89
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,759
a Zoo who got his twentieth point and it wasn't

90
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:30,000
the dagger, but it was very much ah shit moment

91
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,920
for the Grizzlies. So it was awesome. Gabriel Morrell saying

92
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,759
credit to lou for keeping Done in despite the miss threes. Yes,

93
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,279
it was. I think there were a lot of people

94
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,800
probably who maybe watched the two miss threes and went,

95
00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:45,920
why is Chris Dune out there? And then very quickly

96
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,360
after that, when he played great defense on John Morant

97
00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:54,040
late said oh, that's why he's out there. That makes sense. Absolutely,

98
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:57,199
best win of the year, no question, the best win

99
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,480
of the year for the Clippers. Zubots goes from sore

100
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,399
calf to twenty and twenty against a former defensive Player

101
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:08,720
of the Year, which was awesome. Zoo also had nine

102
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:13,519
offensive reboards rebounds reboards, which was huge. This is this

103
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,279
is a feel good way and this I mean, I

104
00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:20,920
haven't This was a nice ass game from the Clippers.

105
00:06:20,959 --> 00:06:24,160
I loved every second of this game, even when it

106
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:28,480
got a little gross because the Clippers they were down

107
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:31,800
every quarter, you know, except except for the third, and

108
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,160
so they're never half this game the second. The end

109
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:37,519
of the second quarter was really brutal in this game.

110
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,040
The Clippers, it just kind of fell apart. It looked

111
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,519
like the game was maybe it looked like the pace

112
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,360
of the game was becoming too much for the Clippers

113
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,959
at the end of the second. But then their defense

114
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,800
just kind of started to kick ass after the third,

115
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,040
which is great. There were some tiki taki fouls late

116
00:06:55,079 --> 00:06:59,079
in this one, which was annoying. I don't know if

117
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,000
that was fatigue or whatever. But then the hard and

118
00:07:01,079 --> 00:07:05,199
run came and then we just saw some really solid,

119
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,319
just team basketball from the Clippers. Right we were this

120
00:07:09,319 --> 00:07:13,680
this win epitomizes everything I think that we love about

121
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,360
the Clippers this season. And it is a holiday. So

122
00:07:17,399 --> 00:07:19,600
this is similar to the Henny Ween stream. If any

123
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:24,040
of you remember that stream. We're enjoying some seasonal Evan

124
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:29,480
Williams tonight. But you just look at how the team

125
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,000
didn't roll over at anytime. It was a very easy

126
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,920
game for a team to be like, ah shit, it's

127
00:07:35,959 --> 00:07:37,959
not only going our way. That closed the second half

128
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:43,120
wasn't good. How can we dig deep? They dug deep there.

129
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:46,560
It's I don't know what they did to get zoobots

130
00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:52,360
right for this game, but twenty and twenty after being

131
00:07:52,439 --> 00:07:56,839
questionable was fantastic. There's kind of some negative things in

132
00:07:56,839 --> 00:07:58,480
the chat right now. We don't have to focus on

133
00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:01,000
anything negative. This was a phenomenal game from the Clippers.

134
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:06,600
Let's just be excited about the win. There's also some news.

135
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,720
I don't know if people saw this. Kawhi is not

136
00:08:10,759 --> 00:08:12,959
going to be playing on the game on Friday. That

137
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:15,000
was from a law Murray tweet. He said a team

138
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:19,600
source informed him that Kawai will not be playing on Friday,

139
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,040
which sucks. We'll get to kind of the details on that.

140
00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:26,399
It kind of makes sense. Tylu talked about it pregame today.

141
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,680
Kawhi has done four five on fives. He said, that's

142
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,320
not good enough. They need to stack days up and

143
00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:37,679
stack five on fives up. The quote from Ty that

144
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,240
I'm choosing to give you is we've been trying to

145
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,440
get him closer to playing, but he's still not ready yet.

146
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,360
He still needs some more five on five he needs

147
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,039
to do before we allow him to be on the court.

148
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:50,159
We don't want to rush. The situation sucks that he's

149
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,879
not going to be back for the home game on Friday,

150
00:08:51,919 --> 00:08:54,000
but you listen to the reasoning, it's it's hard to

151
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:03,519
not be upset about that. Yeah, this was an interesting

152
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,200
game from Dereck Jones Junior. I don't know if i'd

153
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,440
call it sneaky good. He had incredibly clutch buckets. You

154
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,600
know what this game reminded me of from Derek Jones Junior,

155
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,120
Like an elevated a mere coffee game. It really felt

156
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:21,159
like he we got bucket Serman when we needed. Harden

157
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:22,960
hit him with an oop I think in the third

158
00:09:23,039 --> 00:09:26,120
or something like that. That was phenomenal. I agree. I

159
00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:29,159
hope he's good with his lower back. This team looks

160
00:09:29,159 --> 00:09:33,720
a lot different when Derek Jones Junior's available for this team.

161
00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:36,480
Smooth asking, was Derek Jones Junior on a minister restriction?

162
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,039
My guess is yes, we didn't hear anything about that.

163
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:42,799
He wasn't Dallas, it was. It was kind of made.

164
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,240
It might have been a whole road trip thing. He

165
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,200
played twenty minutes in the first game. He played I

166
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,320
think twenty one in the second game in Dallas, and

167
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,159
then tonight he was right at twenty two. He was

168
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,799
a twenty one to forty eight. So yeah, smooth to

169
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,240
answer you. I think I believe he was. It was

170
00:10:02,279 --> 00:10:08,919
a miniterstriction Sinner j R. Saying Hey, Chuck, have you

171
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,799
noticed they has say leftnee soreness in another game that

172
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,559
said Rightney, not the right If that happened, I'm gonna

173
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,799
be honest, it's probably just a clerical error, you know.

174
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,120
I don't know. You'd think they'd be able to copy

175
00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:24,080
and paste it at this point, but I wouldn't read

176
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:31,600
too much into that. Those reports gonna be a little wonky. Yeah, hell,

177
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,519
I mean yeah, So DJJ wasn't the Ministerstriction. Who's the

178
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,519
else player of the game. It's for me, it has

179
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,320
to be a Vitza Zubots. He played forty minutes in

180
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,039
this one. They have a lot of time off, not

181
00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:45,559
a lot, kind of a lot for the Clippers. They

182
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,639
have some time off before the game on Friday, where

183
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,840
Zoo's absolutely gonna be needed. I think Zuo's my player

184
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,559
of the game in this one. Very difficult to not

185
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,960
if you. Twenty and twenty nine offensive boards is absolutely crazy.

186
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,799
I need to look it up because I'm pretty sure

187
00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:07,720
the Grizzlies are not a bad offensive rebounding team. No,

188
00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:11,000
they're not. The Grizzlies are a top ten team for

189
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,200
offensive rebounding in terms of or defensive rebound excuse me,

190
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,960
in terms of their first and defensive running per game

191
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,960
in eighteenth rebounding percentage. So they're not a bad rebounding team.

192
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,360
But Zoo getting it was absolutely Yeah. A lot of

193
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,759
people in the Zoo in the chat saying Zoo twenty

194
00:11:28,799 --> 00:11:33,519
and twenty is amazing. We love to see it. Just

195
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,799
good shit all around from the Clippers. We can talk

196
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:44,399
about this absent regard twenty four. Incredibly deep user name

197
00:11:45,039 --> 00:11:47,440
said clips have a backup center problem. Bamba was minus

198
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,360
fourteen and six minutes. You shouldn't have to play forty

199
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,320
minutes on a bad calf. Tys last year was better

200
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,000
than Bamba would agree with that. Oh, Josephry Award just

201
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,000
textas said big boy Win. He's absolutely right. Yeah, No,

202
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,799
the the backup center thing is for sure an issue.

203
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,720
The Mike Dang I agree, Buddy. I would like Zoo

204
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,159
to go twenty and twenty in every game too, that

205
00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:17,000
would be great. Back to the backup center thing. Yeah,

206
00:12:17,039 --> 00:12:21,720
so this was rough. Mobamba his first shift. Derek Jones Jr.

207
00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:25,399
Just went straight through him. Really. Uh, kind of forced

208
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,480
Tyler's hand into having to play zoos so much. Backup

209
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:34,159
center is an issue. Kai Jones hasn't really blossomed into

210
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:40,399
what they need him to be. Mobamba just uh not

211
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,639
as good as you would want your backup center to be.

212
00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:47,600
We know it's a backup center and it's not that

213
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,360
big of an issue, but tonight is where you see

214
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,399
the issue. I don't know what they do, to be honest,

215
00:12:51,399 --> 00:12:54,320
they've been really the Clippers overall have been weird about

216
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,120
backup center. It's just really men maxing, right, they had

217
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,639
like we had like Moses Brown. The next season we

218
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,279
get Plumbing and Daniel Tice, and now we have Mobamba

219
00:13:03,279 --> 00:13:06,960
and Kai Jones. It's just like it's not fitting. I agree,

220
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:13,240
I wish it was a little more, a little more even. Yeah,

221
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:15,200
a lot of people agreeing with Zoo player of the game.

222
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,600
We absolutely love it. We have Luke Canard siding tonight.

223
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,240
Uh Luke Canard did not take a shot tonight, which

224
00:13:23,279 --> 00:13:26,399
is which is hilarious. Just if you remember his Clippers' days,

225
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:33,679
him being passive was always an issue. Uh Senter Jr.

226
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,440
Asking what's the hold up with Kawhi? Now? They just

227
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,039
want him to get more reps. He needs more practices.

228
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,200
He's done four five on fives, I believe is what

229
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:49,440
we were told, and that's not enough, per tylu He

230
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:54,200
said that, so that sucks. But also none of us

231
00:13:54,279 --> 00:13:59,720
want him to rush back. This team is is this team.

232
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,759
Let's look, I mean, you can't be that mad with

233
00:14:02,799 --> 00:14:05,919
how the Clippers are playing right now with no Kawhi. Yes,

234
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:11,000
it sucks. They have maybe bought themselves some time with

235
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,159
wins like tonight. Again, tonight was a gritty as hell win.

236
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,519
The only player on the bench. I know there's a

237
00:14:20,559 --> 00:14:22,679
lot of anti KPg stuff in the chat right now,

238
00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:24,519
the only player off the bench who was a plus

239
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,440
tonight was KPJ. And I know some things he does

240
00:14:28,559 --> 00:14:30,919
are frustrating, but tonight I thought this was maybe his

241
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,919
best team all around basketball game. There was some bad

242
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,480
stuff I'm not gonna it wasn't like an elite game

243
00:14:38,559 --> 00:14:41,720
top to bottom. But when the Clippers are in the

244
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:45,000
bench situation that they are in, which is the bench

245
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,279
is a little it is struggling a little bit right now.

246
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,360
Being a plus bench player is very useful for the Clippers,

247
00:14:54,200 --> 00:15:01,960
and we can't pretend that. Although sometimes it's difficult to watch. Tonight,

248
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,039
KPJ was big for the clips. There was again, there

249
00:15:06,039 --> 00:15:10,200
were some bad decisions, but the bench is bad. KPJ.

250
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,240
He is, He was solid. He did some good things defensively.

251
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,600
He did some good things against the MAVs too, defensively briefly,

252
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,440
but it was just no. This this is a game

253
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:25,399
where it's like, yeah, there's maybe some momentum to be there.

254
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:31,799
There's momentum to be Bill tough Es game, Scott Tran

255
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:33,919
saying we don't need Kawhi to beat the Warriors. That

256
00:15:34,039 --> 00:15:37,039
is absolutely true. We pose a matchup nightmare for the Warriors,

257
00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:44,559
which we all love, which is awesome. Okay, someone send

258
00:15:44,639 --> 00:15:47,559
the link Caesar uh. Caesar's in the chat and if

259

264
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,159
Clippers Podcast a shout out center for giving us a

265
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,720
two bucks. I'll take it. What do we got? All right?

266
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:10,519
Caesar said, seen a tweet on bones account earlier where

267
00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:13,399
he's going one on one with a youtubur. Don't see

268
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,919
him getting a roll here, sadly, No, it sucks it

269
00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:22,840
the Bones thing. It's just like it's felt like when

270
00:16:22,879 --> 00:16:26,960
Bones got here and when PJ. Tucker got here, it

271
00:16:27,039 --> 00:16:34,159
felt like, for some reason it felt like those two

272
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,159
were aligned or something, because both of them got sent

273
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,679
home before the All Star break last year, and for

274
00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:45,000
a young guy like Bones to have that happen, it's

275
00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:48,559
that's it's not a death sentence, but it's very much

276
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,519
not good when you were traded for for two second

277
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,840
round picks. The but it sucks, but I mean there's

278
00:16:53,919 --> 00:16:57,200
they're gonna try and move him, I would assume in PJ.

279
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:04,119
Tucker he the scoring has been better for Kevin Borter Junior.

280
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,680
Sorry if you're listening to someone in the comments. A

281
00:17:05,759 --> 00:17:08,960
great point on KPJ. He is getting better. I thought

282
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,799
tonight was the game where he showed the best that

283
00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:15,599
he's been because he played a lot more team friendly basketball.

284
00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:18,359
They showed a lot of stats on the broadcast today

285
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,839
about how you know he scored fifteen points in every

286
00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:23,240
game over the last six games. He was like minus

287
00:17:23,279 --> 00:17:25,799
thirty five in those minutes. It was a good game tonight.

288
00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:28,359
Let's build on it. We need it. It would be

289
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:33,119
great to see. It would be great to see against

290
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,720
the Warriors two. Manny Lopez saying all I want for

291
00:17:35,799 --> 00:17:38,279
Christmas is a ten day bone sample size. I don't

292
00:17:38,279 --> 00:17:42,559
think that's happening, man I don't Maybe when he gets traded.

293
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,160
I don't know when it's gonna happen, Manny. That that

294
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:52,559
ship has sailed, no pun intended. Hell of a win

295
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,640
if you're just tuning in again. The Clippers beat the

296
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,799
Grizzlies one fourteen to one ten. We said on the

297
00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:00,839
pregame show that this would be the win of the

298
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,680
year if they won, and they won, so this is

299
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,759
the best Clippers win of the year. There was some

300
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,200
Chris Done was fantastic on defense. Avicha Zubots had twenty

301
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,240
and twenty Norm had twenty nine. It was incredibly clutch,

302
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,960
hard in the system, twenty one, eight and nine, kissing

303
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,720
that triple double. I'm waiting for this matchup data to

304
00:18:23,799 --> 00:18:28,000
come in from stats dot NBA dot com because I

305
00:18:28,039 --> 00:18:31,960
want to see what they have for for Chris done

306
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,839
on joh because I don't know. Christine was just fucking

307
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,599
Kristin's got to be it. He's probably gonna get second

308
00:18:39,599 --> 00:18:42,720
team All Defense, but he should probably be first team

309
00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:46,079
All Defense. Call me if I tell me if I'm wrong.

310
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,359
He has jests that Nate Robinson ten day contract. Yeah,

311
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,599
I say Thomas too. Let's sign both. Let's let's sign

312
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:04,519
the Sea, Let's sign the Washington. Where's the damn matchup data?

313
00:19:04,599 --> 00:19:06,319
All right? Well, the matchup data is not coming in.

314
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:07,960
I don't know how much long you guys have me.

315
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,000
I got little more Jack Daniels here. Uh yeah, there

316
00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:15,960
is a will Is going to have internet again. Will

317
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,039
srom apart of Montana, where your closest neighbors are like

318
00:19:18,079 --> 00:19:21,319
ten miles away, So we give him a pass on

319
00:19:21,319 --> 00:19:27,160
the internet. Here. Not a whole bunch else to say

320
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,160
about this winner than it feels great to go two

321
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:36,960
and one on this road trip. Video game poses controller poses,

322
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,480
trying to flame between the words critical hit. Wait, hell, yeah,

323
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:48,400
I appreciate you, sniper. Yeah, so that's what I'm saying.

324
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,079
I think Done should be first team All Defense. I

325
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,559
don't know if he will get it. That's not uh,

326
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,039
that's not what I meant by that at all. I

327
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,759
just I don't know if people. I don't know, if

328
00:19:59,759 --> 00:20:06,680
you have g NBA fan knows what EPM is, no disrespect, Yeah, Mike,

329
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,599
Mike dang saying Will is on a journey on Discovery. Absolutely,

330
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:22,400
Oh god, John Wall's coming back? Sorry, real time John

331
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:32,359
Wall come back. I don't know. I don't think he's

332
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,799
just he's not really coming back. He's just doing the broadcast.

333
00:20:38,519 --> 00:20:44,680
Don't let Tyler see that. We don't need that z

334
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,200
M I P Yeah. Probably yeah, probably they won't give

335
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,960
it to him. There's this new weird trend in the

336
00:20:50,079 --> 00:20:52,279
NBA where they give most improved player to like the

337
00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:55,279
guy who run who won Rookie of the Year. And

338
00:20:55,319 --> 00:20:59,359
you're like that that shouldn't be a thing. All right,

339
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,480
a couple more minutes here, let me know your favorite

340
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,960
just player from tonight's game again. Can't out stress how

341
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:11,079
good this game was Niko batoum very good in this game,

342
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,720
just again showing what he brings this team from a

343
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,960
defensive standpoint. Someone commented earlier, this is a sneaky good

344
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,119
game for Derek Joes Junior. I would agree with that.

345
00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:23,079
Started off not the best, but then you see what

346
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,720
the athleticism brings you. My favorite stat from this game

347
00:21:28,759 --> 00:21:33,680
is that the Clippers smoked the Grizzlies in fast breakpoints.

348
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,680
The Clippers had twenty six to the Grizzlies twelve. When

349
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,359
this game was going poorly for the Clippers was when

350
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,720
it felt like the pace was outpacing them, right like

351
00:21:43,759 --> 00:21:46,839
this game when it gets really mucky, the Clippers were

352
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,599
it was great. You know that that's what they need.

353
00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:50,559
They need a slow game. They don't want to run

354
00:21:50,599 --> 00:21:54,359
with Memphis. But to be able to kind of do

355
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,400
what Memphis does better than them while making it mucky

356
00:21:57,599 --> 00:22:01,839
was fantastic. Shout out to Tyler for sticking with Chris

357
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,880
dun Late. Yes, he missed the two threes which was frustrating,

358
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,319
but then he played great defense in quite literally the

359
00:22:09,319 --> 00:22:16,960
most clutch moment of the of the game against John Morant. Yeah,

360
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,960
I mean, if Zoo doesn't play in this game. Who

361
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:24,480
knows what happens, because Zoo was phenomenal twenty and twenty.

362
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,680
Just showing why, showing why, maybe going to Zoo for

363
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,680
easy buckets is a good idea. You absolutely love to

364
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,599
see it. Ryan saying that they didn't realize that Wall

365
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,400
was only thirty four. Yeah, I mean that's old for

366
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,920
a point guard in the NBA, says the thirty five

367
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,400
year old who does not play in the NBA. But

368
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,119
that's where we're at. Uh yeah, just good shit all around.

369
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,480
Hope Ron has a good rest of their week. I

370
00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:57,480
hope your Christmas Eve isn't too crazy. We didn't. We

371
00:22:57,519 --> 00:22:59,319
talked a little bit about the Kawhi stuff, but if

372
00:22:59,319 --> 00:23:03,680
you're just tuning in, Kawhi is not going to play

373
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,039
on Friday. I was looking at ticket prices. People thought

374
00:23:06,079 --> 00:23:07,960
Kawhi was going to play on Friday, which makes sense.

375
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,599
All the smoke was kind of going towards that we

376
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,880
hadn't heard, you know, we were getting excited. We hadn't

377
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,039
heard anything against it. But Tylu laid out some check

378
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,880
points that Kawhi Leonard has to hit. He's got a

379
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,640
stack five on fives, He's played four five on five practices,

380
00:23:26,839 --> 00:23:28,480
he's got to stack the five on fives. He's got

381
00:23:28,519 --> 00:23:31,200
a stack days up four or five on fives was

382
00:23:31,279 --> 00:23:34,000
not good enough. So there's more boxes for Kawhi Leonard

383
00:23:34,039 --> 00:23:37,440
to check. They have a lot of time between now

384
00:23:37,519 --> 00:23:41,559
and their next game and their next games if you

385
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,400
look at their schedule. The Clippers go the Warriors on Friday,

386
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,000
who they match up very well with the Pelicans on Monday,

387
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,799
so they get two days off against a reeling Pelicans team.

388
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,759
Then they play the Spurs on New Year's Eve, which

389
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,440
might get a little dicey just because it's the end

390
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,440
of the year. New Year's Eve games are always weird,

391
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,359
and then things get a little tough. They go Thunderhocks Timberwolves.

392
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,799
But they have two games between the Warriors and the

393
00:24:08,799 --> 00:24:13,400
Pells where they can between the Warriors, Pels, and Spurs.

394
00:24:13,799 --> 00:24:17,279
They should go to They should go two and one

395
00:24:17,319 --> 00:24:20,960
and stack a couple more wins. Hey, Eric Boie, what up? Eric?

396
00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:24,680
I hope you're doing well. Go follow Eric If you're

397
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:30,920
not following Eric's art. It's wonderful. Biggest win of the

398
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,440
season by far. Eric agrees. If Eric agrees, you know

399
00:24:33,519 --> 00:24:39,039
that we were right. Best win of the year. I

400
00:24:39,039 --> 00:24:40,680
mean the only way that they Yeah, I mean if

401
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:47,640
they beat the the the Thunder on the sixth that

402
00:24:47,839 --> 00:24:49,720
are on the second, excuse me, that would be prettyweet.

403
00:24:49,759 --> 00:24:52,559
But no, absolutely win of the year. Love to see it.

404
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,359
I am going to head out. I have a little

405
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,240
bit more seasonal Jack Daniels to drink. Hope everyone has

406
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,960
a great holiday season. Thanks for hanging out. Go check

407
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,400
out Adam over on Clippers Talk right now. We're gonna

408
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,519
have an episode for y'all at some point between Christmas

409
00:25:06,559 --> 00:25:11,839

410
00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:14,079
Clippers for the win of the season. Hope everyone is

411
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,839

for hanging out. If you're listening to this later and

413
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,119
you miss the live stream, come hang out. We have

414
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,920
these after some wins at YouTube dot com The Sack

415
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,519
Clippers Podcast. If you're listening, if you're watching, no matter

416
00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:32,640
how you're consuming this pod, we appreciate you. If you're

417
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,039
new to the pod, watch the Clippers. They're a very

418
00:25:36,039 --> 00:25:38,480
annoying defense to play against, which is awesome. So they're

419
00:25:38,519 --> 00:25:41,279
kind of always in every single game. And we have

420
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,079
James Harden, who is the system. We have zubots who

421
00:25:44,079 --> 00:25:46,960
can go from questionable to twenty and twenty. Norm Powell

422
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:52,279
walking into twenty five points no problem. Wonderful team. The

423
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:58,400
vibes are incredibly high, even though that Kawhi is not

424
00:25:58,559 --> 00:26:00,359
going to be with the team on Friday. Things are

425
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,799
feeling good. I've been Chuck Mockler. Shout out to Will Updike,

426
00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:05,799
shout out to Adam Oslin. We'll be back at some

427
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,759
point and as always, let's go Clips
