1
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans? Welcome to season three,

2
00:00:16,519 --> 00:00:20,960
episode eighteen of Clips and Dip. We are so close

3
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,640
to the Clippers season regular season. Excuse me. Thank you

4
00:00:24,719 --> 00:00:27,160
for joining us. If you're listening to us, thank you.

5
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:28,760
If you'd like to watch us. We are at YouTube

6
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,119
dot com Slash at Clippers Podcast. I am Chuck Mockler,

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,320
joined by Adam Oslin. William Updyke still in Japan as

8
00:00:36,359 --> 00:00:39,520
far as we know, we believe he's in Japan, he

9
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:40,320
could be anywhere.

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,759
Speaker 2: You sound like MLB facts there as far as we know,

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:45,479
as far.

12
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: A hot stove, the William Updyke hot stove has started.

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,320
We're doing a mailbag question today. We've had a couple

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,520
of preseason games. People are wondering about starting lineups. People

15
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,119
are wondering about Kawhi. We have no updates on him.

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,240
But before we get into that, Adam Osland, you have

17
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,920
been going so hard on Clippers media. How are you

18
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:12,519
doing on this kind of hot Thursday evening in Los Angeles?

19
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,359
Speaker 2: What do you mean We have no updates on Quad,

20
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,680
just did an hour on it. I'm doing good. I'm okay,

21
00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:23,719
I feel feel good. Yeah, we're close, close to the

22
00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:28,200
Clippers season starting so close you can almost taste the

23
00:01:28,239 --> 00:01:30,079
popcorn that Steph Curry approved.

24
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: See, I didn't want to start things off. I think

25
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:38,159
I forget about that. No, glad to hear you doing well.

26
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:41,760
I'm doing well. I got my first physical since I

27
00:01:41,879 --> 00:01:44,760
was playing high school sports the other day, so it

28
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,040
had been a while. Perfect health, which is great to hear.

29
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:51,359
So that was nice. The doctor was like, why did

30
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,400
you get this? And I told him I haven't had

31
00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:57,000
one since I was eighteen. He was like, oh, okay,

32
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,280
well that makes sense.

33
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,319
Speaker 2: I think I want to do this either.

34
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, like why are you here?

35
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:05,719
Speaker 2: I waited?

36
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: I waited for a half hour because they forgot about

37
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,039
my appointment and then I talked to the doctor for

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:11,800
like five minutes.

39
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,199
Speaker 2: But especially how it goes.

40
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I hope everyone listening is in good help.

41
00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:20,280
Let's get into these questions. Thank you for sending these.

42
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:22,319

trade machine stuff, Shoot it over to Anime.

47
00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: I got enough questions on Clippers talk earlier.

48
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,319
Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm excited to see how the Clippers talk

49
00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:47,960
the radio audiences this year, because I still think fans

50
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,319
are oscillating between the William Updike school of thought, which is,

51
00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:54,680
of course, this is our year, and you.

52
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: Really haven't heard much of that outside of will I

53
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:56,800
gotta be.

54
00:02:56,759 --> 00:03:01,199
Speaker 1: Honest and we're gonna stink. So we got some questions

55
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,360
along those lines. Oh. First of all, our last episode,

56
00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:10,280
Adam recommended a diet soda that was special edition twenty

57
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,240
twenty four Diet Doctor Pepper Cherry zero zero.

58
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:18,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, zero is some I don't know if they use

59
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,680
a different faked sugar in Zeros versus diet because they're

60
00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:27,560
both zero calorie. I don't know if the sodium level

61
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,840
is different. I don't know. I know the caffeine level

62
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:33,280
tends to be higher in the Zeros than the diets.

63
00:03:33,719 --> 00:03:36,840
I think that's a fact. Like zero might be what

64
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:39,120
they used to call max, Like they used to have

65
00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:42,560
Pepsi max and that was higher level caffeination has some

66
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,080
gin singing, and I think so maybe that's what they

67
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:47,759
replaced it with. I don't know, but their dan's good crazy.

68
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't think any soda but that's crazy. They put

69
00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:51,280
gin sing in PEPSI.

70
00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 2: I currently have a Mountain Dew diet which is nectar

71
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,319
of the guys.

72
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,719
Speaker 1: Hey can't go wrong there. And the last episode on

73
00:03:59,759 --> 00:04:02,439
your recommendation, someone purchased some of that Doctor Pepper. So

74
00:04:02,479 --> 00:04:05,080
Doctor Pepper, if you're listening, people who listen to the

75
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,120
show will buy your product. If we talk about it, is.

76
00:04:07,199 --> 00:04:08,439
Speaker 2: That who gave you the physical?

77
00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:12,599
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I got the physical and I got prescribed

78
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,160
thirty three different flavors or whatever is pers in the

79
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:21,879
Doctor Pepper. We got some clippers questions we're gonna start off?

80
00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:26,519
Carlos Escobar asked, season started today, who's your starting five?

81
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,879
I think we probably have a possibly the same answer

82
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:30,199
on this.

83
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,759
Speaker 2: Well, if it's starting today, Kawhi is not playing today, and.

84
00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: If it's starting in a couple of weeks, I also

85
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,800
don't think Kawi will be playing.

86
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't practice a he's still not practicing. So

87
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:51,879
I would go James Harden, okay, Norman Powell, yep, Terrence Man,

88
00:04:53,879 --> 00:04:57,360
Derek Jones Junior, and Niko Batoum. Probably Derek Jones Junior.

89
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,079
In Abisa Zubots but I can, I'd be fine with him,

90
00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:02,759
one with Nico for a little bit more size.

91
00:05:03,519 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I mean, I just I have the

92
00:05:05,519 --> 00:05:10,439
exact same two lineups, basically the thing with Derek Jones Junior.

93
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:12,879
And we talked about this a little bit about how

94
00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:16,160
the Clippers have five preseason games. He's had two weird

95
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:18,319
preseason games. He had foul trouble, then he had the

96
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:21,959
head confusion, which he does seem to be recovering well from.

97
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: I could see today.

98
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:27,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see them maybe just for a couple

99
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:29,560
of games, depending how the rest of the preseason goes,

100
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,040
putting Nico in there at the four.

101
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought there was a question about Nico today.

102
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,839
I don't know, like how much is he going to

103
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:40,560
play in the preseason. He played a little bit last game.

104
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,040
He didn't play at all in Game one, So yeah,

105
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,399
maybe I'd be interested in Nico playing the four to

106
00:05:48,439 --> 00:05:51,360
start things off, just to have more size. He's not

107
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,639
a great rebounder. If there is a knock on Nico,

108
00:05:56,759 --> 00:05:59,639
I don't think he's a great rebounder for his size,

109
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,839
Like Marcus Morris did more of that back in twenty

110
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:04,560
twenty one than Nico, did, I believe.

111
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's a good point and I think too,

112
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,000
Like the pro argument for Utina is like the stability, right,

113
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,079
he knows the system, he knows Terrence, he knows Zoo.

114
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:16,959
You know, he's you know, like that would be good.

115
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,120
But we do need some rebounding and they've been hammering

116
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,639
that need home. If you've been listening to any of

117
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,279
the quotes from Tyler and stuff like that.

118
00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, offensive rebounding. They've they won the battle of the

119
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,399
boards against Milwalk, against walking, against Brooklyn on Tuesday night.

120
00:06:34,879 --> 00:06:37,000
But that's not saying much because I don't think Brooklyn

121
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,519
had a guy out there that was taller than six

122
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:39,079
's eight.

123
00:06:39,199 --> 00:06:41,759
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, Ben Simmons was probably the tallest guy out there.

124
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Nico can't. Can he rebound better than

125
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:48,920
Derek Jones Junior? I guess this is really the only question.

126
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,079
And if that's the case, you might want him out there.

127
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:54,079
Speaker 1: Yeah. True. And we know, like also the rotations like

128
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,480
they're gonna work. We've heard Tyler you talk about Zoo

129
00:06:57,519 --> 00:07:00,360
getting more time with the second unit and Kai getting

130
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,240
time with running the picker up with James Harden. So

131
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,680
like starting doesn't dictate overall playing time with the Clippers team.

132
00:07:06,759 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: Right now, we've known that with Terris for a while.

133
00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:12,480
Doesn't mean you're finishing games? Does it mean you're.

134
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: Closing and zoo and I thought the quote today from

135
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,600
Ty was funny about boxing out. He was like, our

136
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,560
guys are boxing out, but now we have to grab

137
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:26,959
the rebound. Yeah, guys are checking. We gotta grab the board.

138
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,839
So yeah, I think rebounding would make the difference on

139
00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:29,879
who they're starting at before.

140
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: I love their emphasizing rebounding and they're saying all the

141
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,720
right things. I just don't know if the personnel is

142
00:07:37,759 --> 00:07:40,120
there to be a very good rebounding team. I still

143
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,040
have questions about that. And if you do crash the

144
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:47,040
glass that hard with all your smalls, it's going to

145
00:07:47,079 --> 00:07:49,480
take something out of you on the other end. Just

146
00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:54,519
is so there's no great solution to it unless Kobe

147
00:07:54,519 --> 00:07:57,399
Brown really steps up and becomes a great rebounder. Jordan

148
00:07:57,399 --> 00:08:00,160
Miller like, I don't know if they have a guy

149
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,720
in house or Kay Jones. I don't know what they

150
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,800
can do about it because they're a smaller squad. They

151
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:08,199
just are.

152
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: They were nineteenth in total rebounds last year, and I

153
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:15,120
think we might they want to be higher than that,

154
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,160
but I wouldn't be surprised if we're in that like

155
00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:20,000
thirteen to seventeen range.

156
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,399
Speaker 2: I could see Man improving because his rebounding went down

157
00:08:24,439 --> 00:08:27,160
a little bit the last couple of years, and there's

158
00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:29,399
no reason for that. If it's just a point of

159
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:32,279
emphasis for Terrence Man to rebound more, I think he'll

160
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:34,919
do it. And that was something they talked about and

161
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,200
he did it. I think Terrence Man was awesome in

162
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,799
Game two by the way. Yeah, in the limited time,

163
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,960
probably the best player out there, So it could work

164
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,320
for Terrence. Derek Jones Junior, I'm not. I don't know

165
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,720
his rebounding potential. To be honest, I don't know how

166
00:08:56,799 --> 00:08:59,840
good of a rebounder he is. He's so slight a frame,

167
00:08:59,879 --> 00:09:02,399
but he does have a great vertical Like can he

168
00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:04,200
really help and get in there and do some of

169
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,200
that dirty work. We know the dirty work he can

170
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,360
do with defending. Can he do some of the rebounding

171
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:13,799
though that? Yeah, time will tell. Maybe the second question

172
00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:16,720
will tell us In the comments, Hey, hey, I am

173
00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:18,639
sure there are some people who are There's been people

174
00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:20,240
telling us a lot of stuff over.

175
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: We got a question from David Spades, who never had

176
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,639
a question from a famous person before who's technically the

177
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,840
backup point guard, And is that a problem.

178
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: I don't think it's. Yeah, it is a good question,

179
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,000
I don't I don't think it's a problem. Earlier today,

180
00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:48,519
James Harden said something interesting at practice that I took

181
00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:52,879
note of. They were interviewing Terrence Man and he just

182
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,639
kind of came over and I don't think he was

183
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,840
scheduled to be interviewed. But I think it's the leadership

184
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,480
of James Harden. Right now, they're interywing one of his guys.

185
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:02,879
He wanted to talk them up.

186
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: Wants to protect.

187
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said, quote, team man is gonna have to

188
00:10:08,799 --> 00:10:12,279
take a lot of responsibility with ball handling. So for me,

189
00:10:12,519 --> 00:10:16,519
just getting comfortable playing off the ball, moving doing certain

190
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,159
things to make our offense more fluid and getting guys shots.

191
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:21,240
But Team man is going to have to take a

192
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:24,799
lot more responsibility with ball handling. I think they're doing it.

193
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,279
I think they're approaching this right where they're saying because

194
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,720
we've seen James Harden doing a lot of catch and

195
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,759
shoot stuff in training camp and in practice. I think

196
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:37,840
they know they can't just run it all through James Harden.

197
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,600
It will be far too taxing as good as he is.

198
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:45,200
They need other guys, whether that's Terrence, whether that's Norman

199
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,320
Powell with the ball in his hands, whether it's Bones,

200
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,240
whether it's KPJ. They have to have other guys do it.

201
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,879
Terrence Man has done it, Norman Powell can bring the

202
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:56,200
ball up the floor too. If those two guys are

203
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,320
both in the starting lineup, that alleviates some of the

204
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,679
pressure on Terrence Man. And then maybe Man is ruining

205
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,120
the show more with the second unit, maybe he takes out.

206
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,840
Is that comment about taking Norman Powell out early to

207
00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:09,440
bring him back with the second unit with the Beasts

208
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,440
of Zoobots, Does that mean he's gonna be the backup

209
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,480
point guard? Do you think.

210
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: Probably Norm has wanted Norm's talked about wanting, you know,

211
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,320
to show his pick and roll skills off. So like

212
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,320
maybe we have this weird Norm starts as the two

213
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,480
and is the backup point guard.

214
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: I can see that we go ahead, like if Quhi's out,

215
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,759
and depending on what minutes Norm plays and with who,

216
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,799
there might still be a role available for Bones Highland

217
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,320
if Kawhy is out.

218
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: We got a question about that. Sal Kart some amazing names.

219
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,960
By the way, on these questions. So far we got

220
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,519
David Spades and Sal Krt. Is there a path for

221
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,159
Bones to play meaningful minutes this season without an injury

222
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,279
to the main guys with that quantifier on the end

223
00:11:57,279 --> 00:11:57,639
of it.

224
00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 2: No, No, there's a chance, like if Kevin Porter junior

225
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,799
and he was pretty good Tuesday night. Also he was

226
00:12:09,879 --> 00:12:12,759
much better. I think he shot it better he had.

227
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:15,720
It's funny he was grabbing his litwer back for a

228
00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:18,120
second and then they got gave him the ball and

229
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,559
he took this tough step back jumper, got it to

230
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,639
go and then was lagging to get back defensively and

231
00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:27,240
was kind of spine and then had the steal and

232
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:29,480
the eurostep for a layup. So that all happened in

233
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:30,600
about ten seconds.

234
00:12:31,399 --> 00:12:31,919
Speaker 1: Uh.

235
00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:36,879
Speaker 2: If he doesn't play well enough, then Bones is back

236
00:12:36,919 --> 00:12:38,159
in play, I think.

237
00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:40,919
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's still up in the air. It's just

238
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,360
like he's in a he's in purgatory kind of.

239
00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: It's unlikely. It's unlikely, Yeah, which sucks.

240
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,039
Speaker 1: He's he was bad in the first preseason game.

241
00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: They had that that lineup was bad. Like if you

242
00:12:53,639 --> 00:12:56,159
put Blowans out there with bad lineups, it's gonna be

243
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,919
bad basketball. Basically that like he's not elevating a lineup,

244
00:13:00,039 --> 00:13:03,320
he can add to a lineup, and he can add

245
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,360
a different dimension to certain lineups. If it's bones in

246
00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:11,279
real minutes against first units or second units out there,

247
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,279
can do things bones as garbage time bones and in

248
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,840
inconsequential time. We've seen it.

249
00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:21,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was. There was some bad garbage time last year,

250
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,399
and that's saying something for what is already called garbage time.

251
00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:29,799
Tirun Polani yet another great name. Any chance the Clippers

252
00:13:29,799 --> 00:13:34,600
play Kawhi at the three? I think the ships sailed.

253
00:13:36,879 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: Starting at the three, probably sailed with different combinations later

254
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,000
in the game. Yeah, he can play the three, that

255
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:50,519
that will happen. But those comments were really interesting. I

256
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,559
talked with Law about it yesterday in trying to figure

257
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,080
out whether or not he's telling the Clippers to get

258
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:03,080
a four yeah, or if he's talking about it really

259
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,480
could be both or one or the other. If he's

260
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:08,919
talking about the way he's always played and how he

261
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,240
needs to make an adjustment because it's too much like

262
00:14:13,399 --> 00:14:16,120
him running around and being leading them in miles per

263
00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:20,120
game at thirty three is a recipe for disaster with

264
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,200
his right knee. But that's how he's always played. That's

265
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,000
why he's a Hall of Famer, So how can he

266
00:14:26,159 --> 00:14:28,480
do less of that? I think that's why the Clippers

267
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,840
brought in Chris Dunn and Derek Jones Junior and brought

268
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:33,639
Batoum back. I think that's the help Kawhi not have

269
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,360
to run around as much because that was happening at

270
00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:40,080
Power Forward. It was also happening when he played the

271
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,639
free with Toronto.

272
00:14:42,039 --> 00:14:44,679
Speaker 1: That's kind of his style. He's such a good defender

273
00:14:44,759 --> 00:14:47,919
that he's When you're a good defender, you run a

274
00:14:47,919 --> 00:14:49,840
lot because you're sticking with your guy and all that

275
00:14:49,879 --> 00:14:54,799
stuff like that is it's it's like it's kind of

276
00:14:54,799 --> 00:14:57,000
a double edged short because that's kind of his playing style,

277
00:14:57,159 --> 00:15:00,000
is being a machine who doesn't stop coming after you

278
00:15:00,039 --> 00:15:03,320
on defense and doesn't stop coming after you on offense.

279
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,279
Speaker 2: That's yeah, exactly what I said. It's a blessing and

280
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,840
a curse, I guess at this point, Like I think

281
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,559
it's less to do with the four of the three

282
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,279
at this point, Yeah, and it's actually more about just

283
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,840
the way Kawhi Leonard plays. Regardless if he's playing the

284
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,000
four of the three, he's probably leading you in miles

285
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,679
ran per game, and that's something that has to change.

286
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,360
I should to protect him from himself, and I don't

287
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:32,399
know how easy that is.

288
00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:34,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, he's been playing. He's been He's a plus

289
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,399
ten year vet. It's like a change now, Like go

290
00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:40,320
ahead and shift gear down a little bit, Kawhi.

291
00:15:40,879 --> 00:15:43,879
Speaker 2: Do we just play him less minutes? Is that the change?

292
00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:46,080
Like he can't play any different when he's out there,

293
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,919
But do we just play him less minutes? So therefore

294
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,039
is less miles per game? I don't know.

295
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm mad at that idea. Again, we're going to see

296
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:58,679
some interesting load management. Speaking of Kawhi, Daniel m if

297
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,159
Kawhi manages to stay somewhat healthy in Balls out, do

298
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,399
you guys see him getting blaked this season? Give him

299
00:16:05,399 --> 00:16:08,279
the right opportunity or do you think they'll continue to

300
00:16:08,399 --> 00:16:11,120
roll the dice on him. We were just talking about

301
00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:14,000
this before we started recording. There's been some discourse on

302
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:20,080
at Clippers Pod on Twitter. They're not trading Kawhi in

303
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,960
the Blake fashion. They're not just gonna be like, hey, Kawhi.

304
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,159
It's like when you when if you've ever worked at

305
00:16:27,159 --> 00:16:29,799
a restaurant and your manager comes up to you before

306
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,639
your shift and asks you, hey, did you bring a

307
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:35,120
different shirt? Can you talk to me before your shift?

308
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,799
You're getting fired. They're not doing that to Kawhi Leonard.

309
00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:43,120
They're not meeting him before that he gets to the

310
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,399
door to find out his key card doesn't work, and

311
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,720
then telling him he's going to play in Charlotte because

312
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:51,360
we got a first round pick in a couple seconds

313
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:52,279
and someone shitty.

314
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: The only way for this to happen, first of all,

315
00:16:56,559 --> 00:17:01,879
I think is for realistically to play well for a

316
00:17:02,039 --> 00:17:05,839
stretch of time, for it to look like it did

317
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:11,079
at times last season. Then teams get interested and maybe

318
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:13,799
the Clippers aren't in a position to win even though

319
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,640
Kawhi Leonard is still an elite level, which is also

320
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,799
if he's playing that well, the Clippers are likely winning.

321
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,720
That's how it always works. It's like threading the needle

322
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,839
and all the right variables. And how this would have

323
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,839
to happen for a team to get interested should also

324
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,519
mean the Clippers might want to keep him because he's

325
00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:35,799
the lottery ticket. If you do have him healthy in

326
00:17:35,799 --> 00:17:38,480
a playoff series, as I used, playing well, then you

327
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:43,279
have a chance against pretty much anyone. So I don't know, guys,

328
00:17:43,319 --> 00:17:46,880
I just I agree with Chuck. It's not going to

329
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,400
happen the same way. It would never happen the same way.

330
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,480
Maybe I should never say never never. It is so

331
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,119
unlikely for it to happen the way it happened with Blake.

332
00:17:57,839 --> 00:18:01,720
For an abundance of reasons, but I think the biggest

333
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,039
one might be this. I brought this up all summer.

334
00:18:04,519 --> 00:18:08,359
I believe Kawhi is become a legacy player and a

335
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,079
symbol for the Clippers of becoming a destination franchise. Finally,

336
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,880
he is more meaningful than just what he is able

337
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,279
to do when he's out there on the court. It

338
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,839
tells everyone that they were finally able to land the

339
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,960
biggest free agent. Over a span of years, he was

340
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,160
the biggest free agent. You can make the argument, but

341
00:18:26,279 --> 00:18:29,039
certainly the summer of twenty nineteen they were able to

342
00:18:29,079 --> 00:18:32,559
get him. They're gonna treat him the right way, and

343
00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:35,519
they're gonna show that this is a place you want

344
00:18:35,559 --> 00:18:38,319
to come to and you can be a superstar, and

345
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,640
we're gonna take care of you and we're not going

346
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,680
to send you out the way it happened with Blake Griffin,

347
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,400
which ultimately led to them being able to get Kawhi Leonard.

348
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: So and they also did the same thing with Paul George,

349
00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:53,279
Like they let Paul George like everyone knew it was

350
00:18:53,319 --> 00:18:56,319
a horribly kept secret that he was going to go

351
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,519
to Philadelphia basically, but it was like, we're gonna let

352
00:18:58,559 --> 00:19:00,920
you play this out. We're not gonna trade you in

353
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,000
a way that maybe irks you or something like that.

354
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:05,640
You're gonna go get your big deal. Like it's like

355
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,160
with the Tobias contract too, Remember when like there was

356
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,680
a whole thing where they were like, we're gonna offer

357
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,680
you this, you're gonna decline it, You're gonna get a

358
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,759
bigger contract later. Like then, of course they traded him

359
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,559
on his birthday or whatever. That was but a winner.

360
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:22,319
And they did trade Lou Williams the day after he

361
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,079
broke the record for the most points by six man.

362
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,559
But Tobias Harris and Lou Williams are not Kawhi Leonard,

363
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,519
no disrespect. I don't I don't think he's getting blaked.

364
00:19:32,519 --> 00:19:36,480
I also La Clippers film justin w on Twitter brought

365
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,160
this up. If there was some kind of trade for

366
00:19:40,279 --> 00:19:44,640
Kawhi Leonard that benefited the Clippers, there would have been

367
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:49,799
discussions like that, There would have been. I do think

368
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,119
that if the Clippers got some kind of like there's

369
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,079
this idea that the Clippers can just trade Kawhi for picks,

370
00:19:55,839 --> 00:19:58,319
which I don't understand because the Clippers have kind of

371
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,400
proven that he you know, he's not He's not what

372
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,359
he was in terms of durability, like the return for Kawhi.

373
00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:10,599
People would be pissed. People who want to trade Kawhi

374
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,279
if they saw the return that I, personally Chuck Mockler

375
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,599
think is out there for him, would be pissed, like

376
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,160
it would just not feel It'd be like what the hell, Like,

377
00:20:21,599 --> 00:20:24,400
We're not getting a good young guy for Kawhi. We're

378
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,759
not getting multiple first round picks for Kawhi.

379
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 2: You're not getting the CP three package, not Lou pat

380
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,480
Bev Tres. People don't know about Tres that time, but

381
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,960
Lou and Pat Bev were established. That's not happening now.

382
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:43,480
And for it to happen, Kawhi would have to have

383
00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:47,720
an extended stretch of healthy play at a high level.

384
00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:50,279
Speaker 1: And the Clippers now.

385
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 2: But then the Clippers would somehow also have to not

386
00:20:54,039 --> 00:20:58,319
be winning during this still losing and not looking like

387
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,960
a contender, and another contender comes over and says, we're

388
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,279
gonna take the risk because we think he can take

389
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,799
us over the top this year. Right now, we're going

390
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,319
for it, and we will give up a first or

391
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,200
two and a young player for him.

392
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,039
Speaker 1: Right That's what happens.

393
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: And I think, why would have to sign off on it?

394
00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:19,440
I think, yes, it would not be out of the

395
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,880
blue blind side like it was with Blake. Yeah, so

396
00:21:24,079 --> 00:21:26,759
considering it would take all that, it's unlikely us.

397
00:21:27,599 --> 00:21:34,079
Speaker 1: It seems unlikely. Stu Quinn, longtime listener, another one, another

398
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,039
person to add to the great name list here on

399
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,839
these questions. Daniel, you do have a perfectly fine name,

400
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,559
but these other names are blowing you out of the water.

401
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,880
Stu Quinn also famously, when Will and I were doing Lockdown,

402
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,920
would always bet on the Clippers season win total. We'd

403
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,599
always do the Stu Quinn update. Stu, if you're listening,

404
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,160
let us know if you put that bet down again,

405
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,920
and we'd love to track it. This is a question

406
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,759
for the real freaks out there. Am I crazy to

407
00:21:59,759 --> 00:22:02,200
think that a mirror can run and stints at the four?

408
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,640
If Kawhi is out, he's about the same height as

409
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,640
Kawhi and Nico and fifteen to twenty pounds later. If

410
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,400
he hit the weight room this offseason, he could be

411
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:16,000
third string power forward. I don't know.

412
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 2: I don't think it's crazy. Honestly, It's something I've been

413
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,079
thinking about a little bit. He played some power forward

414
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:22,599
last year.

415
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: He did.

416
00:22:24,319 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 2: I think it's a possibility that we talked about the

417
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,880
starting lineup earlier, that a mere Coffee could end up

418
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,359
the starting four of Kawhi' is not there.

419
00:22:32,839 --> 00:22:33,519
Speaker 1: He's done it.

420
00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 2: I really think that with how much he filled in

421
00:22:36,279 --> 00:22:39,359
last year with Paul.

422
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: George percent of his minutes last year we're at power forward.

423
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 2: He's played it like he can do it, and he's

424
00:22:47,039 --> 00:22:51,480
a really good defender. Like I have full belief in

425
00:22:51,519 --> 00:22:54,759
that happening with a mere coffee, And even if it

426
00:22:54,759 --> 00:22:56,640
happened opening night, I did not think that would be

427
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:57,279
crazy at all.

428
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: This is a coffee pot offs, so we are a

429
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,119
pro amre coffee pod. I don't know anyone who's anti

430
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,240
amer coffee. But if you came in here looking for

431
00:23:05,279 --> 00:23:07,400
something else, that's not the po this is not the

432
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,559
pod for you. Yes, I that.

433
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: I think it's just I think it's a real possibility.

434
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't realize it, like I didn't play is

435
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,079
a legitimate and it was eighteen percent the season before

436
00:23:21,559 --> 00:23:23,000
his assistant could.

437
00:23:22,839 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 2: He play power forward? Yeah, a night.

438
00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. And we're gonna see also too, you know, like

439
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,480
it's a weird year for the Clippers. It's a it's

440
00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:37,839
kind of a goofy year. We're going to see some shuffling.

441
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,799
We're gonna see I think we're going to see Tyler say, oh,

442
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,119
smaller team, this is the four, bigger team, here's the

443
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,640
new four or something, or the three or something like that.

444
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,799
Speaker 2: We're sure as hell going to see a mere coffee. Guys,

445
00:23:51,279 --> 00:23:55,119
before you believe Jordan Miller should be getting the opportunity

446
00:23:55,559 --> 00:23:56,599
to play the four.

447
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,039
Speaker 1: And we love Jordan Miller, but a mere coffee is

448
00:23:59,039 --> 00:23:59,839
a proven NBA.

449
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 2: Yes, you win. He's averaging after January. He averaged nineteen

450
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:13,200
points excuse me, nineteen minutes per game in January. I

451
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,279
know he's had a good January before that. Nineteen minutes

452
00:24:17,319 --> 00:24:20,000
per game in January last year. Then it gets bumped

453
00:24:20,079 --> 00:24:23,160
up to in February twenty five minutes a game. Then

454
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,400
it's at twenty two in marsh Then to end the

455
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:34,519
regular season. This is after Kawhi is out. He's at

456
00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:37,119
thirty minutes per game the last eight games of the

457
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:37,839
regular season.

458
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: He's got some more competition this year, but to your

459
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,519
thirty minutes per game, that's more than zero.

460
00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:48,079
Speaker 2: I think, right, That's why I don't think it's crazy

461
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,359
at all. He could easily be the four. Yeah, and

462
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,400
that's good, don't I don't hate. I don't hate he

463
00:24:55,519 --> 00:24:59,000
now emer definitely struggles with the boards. He's got to

464
00:24:59,000 --> 00:24:59,599
be better there.

465
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: Yes, for sure, he knows. But again, he knows the system.

466
00:25:03,559 --> 00:25:05,799
There's there's we're back to the time where there's like

467
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,240
few guys who know the system and just kind of

468
00:25:08,279 --> 00:25:10,839
know what to do for their job on the Clippers,

469
00:25:11,039 --> 00:25:12,240
and he's one of those guys.

470
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: He's like great in the preseason, A mirror's ready.

471
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is like he's had some wonky preseasons. Remember

472
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,240
that uh summer League he fouled out and he had

473
00:25:22,279 --> 00:25:25,039
that really brutal stretch of shooting. I think last year

474
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,759
over the preseason maybe.

475
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 2: Or was it two years ago when he got buff.

476
00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:38,079
Speaker 1: We got on the out of Oslyn, get shredded, shredded program.

477
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,559
Speaker 2: He was too too much bulk, too much mass.

478
00:25:41,279 --> 00:25:44,759
Speaker 1: Hey, it could happen. I'm so happy that my doctor

479
00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:47,240
didn't tell me I was too bulked up when I

480
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:49,720
had that physical I've never been told that by anybody.

481
00:25:51,079 --> 00:25:52,279
Speaker 2: Mixing a salad choke.

482
00:25:52,519 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, how many eggs eating to day? Double digits or

483
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,920
what mm? Yeah, it's gonna be.

484
00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 2: A mirror a solution for this team. Honestly, he is.

485
00:26:04,839 --> 00:26:07,079
He's gonna get run if Coli is out.

486
00:26:07,519 --> 00:26:10,519
Speaker 1: He's a plug and play. Yeah.

487
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 2: Now if he ends up Gating traded in the PJ.

488
00:26:13,839 --> 00:26:21,440
Tucker move and the like, his deal is so good

489
00:26:21,519 --> 00:26:22,960
though you want to hold on to it.

490
00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: What was it four milli year? Which I'm like that, Well.

491
00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 2: So he won't if they have any design on him

492
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,160
playing the four a bunch, which I think is real possibility.

493
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of possibilities. We're talking about Kobe Brown

494
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,799
playing the five because of our current roster construction, which

495
00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:43,240
we'll probably get into later. But all right, we got

496
00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:46,400
some more questions coming up. Audio Wise, if you're listening

497
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,319
to us, thank you so much. If you are listening,

498
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,720
leave us a review wherever you're listening, or just shout

499
00:26:50,759 --> 00:26:52,640
out to the person next to you they should listen

500
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,279
to this podcast. If you're watching us, We're still going

501
00:26:55,319 --> 00:26:57,680
to be here. We got ads coming up and then

502
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,160
more questions. Uh. In three to.

503
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,559
Speaker 2: One Welcome Back. In Clips and Dip episode eighteen of

504
00:27:04,599 --> 00:27:07,319
season three, I'm at a Maslin. We got Chuck Mockler

505
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:12,359
here and some male bag madness and bridging the two segments.

506
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,359
There is a good question here. This comes from ex

507
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:22,079
Mango Project Long time. Will t Lou give Miller a

508
00:27:22,079 --> 00:27:24,880
shot with the starters the same way he gave Coffee

509
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:30,000
when PG was out that eventually made him a rotation player. Uh?

510
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,279
Not before Coffee gets it.

511
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,279
Speaker 1: I think with the starters is the big caveat here. Yeah,

512
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,680
great question. I hope we see it. Maybe in the preseason,

513
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,759
Like the last game of the preseason, they're like, Jordan

514
00:27:40,759 --> 00:27:42,079
Miller's starting, Well.

515
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's not with the real starters. Then No,

516
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,480
it's not gonna be Kobe Browner starting.

517
00:27:48,839 --> 00:27:53,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not gonna be Harden, Norm Jordan Miller, Derek

518
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,359
Jones Junior and Zubos Probably not.

519
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 2: Probably not. Uh. I'm not gonna say out of the

520
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,680
Roman possibility though, either only because my player to watch

521
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:09,119
Jordan Miller just killed it. Oh man, he is he

522
00:28:09,319 --> 00:28:14,519
keepsh test him, challenge him. I want to see him

523
00:28:14,519 --> 00:28:18,319
against first units. I do. He's beating up guys in

524
00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:20,319
the Summer League, he's beating up guys in the G League,

525
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,960
He's beating up guys in the preseason. I think it's time.

526
00:28:24,039 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: I love the challenge him part of it because I

527
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,720
think I think the TYLERU has challenged him and Kobe

528
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,839
Brown in these late game moments in the preseason, specifically

529
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,200
right like, hey, this is crunch time. We know it's preseason,

530
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,960
but like you're out here to close this out or

531
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,240
try and get us back into it.

532
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 2: That s though on Tuesday night was way too easy

533
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,880
for Jordan Miller, way too easy that s he carved up.

534
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,319
Speaker 1: Oh yes, okay.

535
00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:54,519
Speaker 2: Brooklyn was missing so many guys already, they had G

536
00:28:54,720 --> 00:29:00,519
leaguers out there, summer league guys, nobody, Tall and Simmons.

537
00:29:01,279 --> 00:29:05,200
I can't learn much from that. I can't. I want

538
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,519
to see Miller against the first unit.

539
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,759
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I'm with that. I want to see it too,

540
00:29:11,759 --> 00:29:15,440
because at this point, like he can make things happen.

541
00:29:15,759 --> 00:29:17,640
And when you have a roster that the Clippers have,

542
00:29:17,759 --> 00:29:21,000
which is not a bad roster, but you need guys

543
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:21,920
to make things happen.

544
00:29:22,759 --> 00:29:25,759
Speaker 2: He's getting downhill, he's getting to the free throw line,

545
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,039
just like he was in summer league. He has this

546
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,720
little floater he's defending. He had a beautiful pass to

547
00:29:31,839 --> 00:29:34,000
Kobe Brown for a dunk near the end of that

548
00:29:34,119 --> 00:29:38,839
game where he read the four perfectly. But it was

549
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,279
also against a really bad Brooklyn team, maybe the worst

550
00:29:41,319 --> 00:29:44,440
team in the league, playing players that are aren't even

551
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,200
gonna be good enough to play on the worst team

552
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,880
in the league by the time the ceregular season starts

553
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,680
with the guys that were playing in pre season. Yeah,

554
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,759
the same thing for Kai Jones. It's like, I'm happy

555
00:29:54,799 --> 00:29:57,160
he progressed and looked much better in Game two, but

556
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,480
I can't draw too much out of it. I'm happy

557
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,079
for him, but I can't take too much out of it.

558
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,599
Speaker 1: I like that tie has been keeping Kobe and Jordan

559
00:30:06,599 --> 00:30:09,799
Miller together in these big moments too, Like where it's like,

560
00:30:09,839 --> 00:30:12,400
you guys, when you're playing the regular season, I have

561
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,799
a feeling that in the regular season when we see

562
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,119
Jordan Miller minutes, they're gonna be with Kobe Brown and

563
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,039
vice versa. They've been brought up together, you know what

564
00:30:22,079 --> 00:30:26,119
I mean. Like that familiarity is gonna be huge and

565
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,279
if maybe it's Kobe Brown out the five, which I

566
00:30:29,319 --> 00:30:33,119
have some questions defensively about that, but offensively I think

567
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:33,640
it is good.

568
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just gotta take the ball and bring it

569
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,559
up the court and make some decisions and be more aggressive,

570
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,160
Like it's my board and I'm gonna bring it up

571
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:44,200
in the front court.

572
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, a big guy. Kobe is a big guy. He

573
00:30:48,559 --> 00:30:50,920
lost some weight, but he's still a very large human

574
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,400
being on an NBA court.

575
00:30:54,119 --> 00:30:56,519
Speaker 2: I thought this summer I was telling you Ray, guys,

576
00:30:56,519 --> 00:30:58,759
doesn't all looks like he lost weight. And it was

577
00:30:58,799 --> 00:31:00,160
confirmed at media Daryl or.

578
00:31:00,119 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: Whatever, like fifteen pounds or something like that.

579
00:31:02,279 --> 00:31:04,799
Speaker 2: Oh, it was clear. It was significantly.

580
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,599
Speaker 1: They also said that he was at six percent body fat,

581
00:31:08,039 --> 00:31:10,240
I think, which I just do not believe.

582
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be shredded enough to look like.

583
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,319
Speaker 1: Isn't that like unhealthy? Like six percent feels like that's.

584
00:31:17,079 --> 00:31:20,839
Speaker 2: Like Kauhi is probably he probably plays often around there.

585
00:31:22,079 --> 00:31:24,599
He's Kawhi though, insane.

586
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that's like he had eight pack.

587
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: That's probably six body Yeah, that's true, a little bit

588
00:31:31,759 --> 00:31:36,039
boute more than that, but it's yeah, weet eight and ten.

589
00:31:36,839 --> 00:31:41,759
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fair. Mc ran eighty had kind of a

590
00:31:41,759 --> 00:31:44,839
two parter. So Tylo said he wants to get kai

591
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,160
Jones more time with James Harden and it beats to

592
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,759
zoo bots more time with the bench, specifically to give

593
00:31:49,799 --> 00:31:53,400
the second unit another offensive option. Will this be the

594
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,279
key to unlock the zoo we've all been itching to see?

595
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,960
Thirty two plus minutes scoring should increase if he's consider

596
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,160
in a second unit scoring weapon. But could it hinder

597
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,599
his minutes if Kai Jones and James Harden click.

598
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 2: Guys, kai Jones is pretty far from being an NBA

599
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:16,559
player at this point.

600
00:32:16,759 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: He's not taking Zeo's minutes. I don't I don't think

601
00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:20,200
he's taking.

602
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 2: Not taking Bamba's if he's healthy. Like he said today,

603
00:32:25,039 --> 00:32:28,279
not Lauras Frank, but coach Lou said, kai Jones is

604
00:32:28,319 --> 00:32:31,640
the backup right now because Mobama's out. He didn't say

605
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,160
he's competing with Mobamba. You know what he's competing for

606
00:32:34,359 --> 00:32:38,440
to make the team. He's not. He's not signed yet.

607
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,000
He doesn't have the two way got Have you seen

608
00:32:42,119 --> 00:32:48,640
the footwork? Yes, he's an athlete. He can run. He uh,

609
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,640
he can jump out of the gym. He's still he

610
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,279
doesn't have post moves. It's awkward and it's gonna be

611
00:32:56,319 --> 00:33:00,119
ineffective against NBA guys. Doing what he did against Brooklyn

612
00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:03,519
is great. He needed to do that. He had to

613
00:33:03,559 --> 00:33:05,799
do that. If he didn't do that against Brooklyn, there

614
00:33:05,799 --> 00:33:08,359
would be major red flags and warning signs. And that

615
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,119
was still after a half Coach Lou having to talk

616
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,559
to him and being like, don't worry about making mistakes,

617
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,839
just go out there and play. Did you see the

618
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,680
first couple of possessions where he was missing like bunnies

619
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,960
and he realized post Gambag probably just dunk that, don't

620
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,400
That's where he's at, Like he doesn't even know his

621
00:33:26,599 --> 00:33:31,480
own power yet, his own skill set yet. He's so raw.

622
00:33:31,559 --> 00:33:34,279
He's played six hundred and thirteen minutes in the NBA.

623
00:33:34,759 --> 00:33:38,279
Damn he is a raw athlete. He couldn't get minutes

624
00:33:38,359 --> 00:33:42,039
on a bed Charlotte team. You have to understand what

625
00:33:42,079 --> 00:33:44,920
you're looking at here. Anybody that thinks that a guy

626
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,839
can just run and jump is an NBA player. They

627
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,160
can all run and jump like hy is the supreme athlete.

628
00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:53,519
But there are great athletes all over the floor in

629
00:33:53,559 --> 00:33:58,240
the NBA yeah, he can't be Capella yet, he can't

630
00:33:58,279 --> 00:34:02,079
be any of these guys yet. It's not not in

631
00:34:02,119 --> 00:34:05,960
the NBA if he I'm telling you, if unless Mobama

632
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,239
is seriously hurt, he's not getting those minutes from Obama.

633
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,159
Speaker 1: And he's not taken, it's not I don't think Kai

634
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,400
Jones isn't gonna hinder zoo Bots minutes. I do like

635
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,039
this question because I think giving Zoo time with the

636
00:34:20,079 --> 00:34:24,440
second unit does really help. Like offensively on the second unit,

637
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,800
off Zoo's the center. We're saying, you know, Norms the

638
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:32,000
one or something like that. Offensively outside of those two guys,

639
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,599
what are we looking at on the second unit when

640
00:34:34,599 --> 00:34:37,159
you really need to go get a bucket? Nico can

641
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,039
hit the open three. Obviously you got Christy Dunn, who can?

642
00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:45,400
You got KPJ. But like in terms of like Zoo

643
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,119
could feast on some second unit Zoo against the second

644
00:34:48,199 --> 00:34:53,239
unit center, sign me up for all of those minutes.

645
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:58,159
Speaker 2: Of course, that's that's a big time advantage. I think

646
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:04,559
honestly against Brooklyn, they were trying not to feature Zobots,

647
00:35:04,679 --> 00:35:06,679
not in a way where they were just freezing him out.

648
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,679
I mean they were trying to run stuff that wouldn't

649
00:35:10,679 --> 00:35:13,280
be a given because it would have been so easy

650
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,280
to just spam spam zoobots in that game against Brooklyn

651
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:22,320
regular season, but nothing you've learned nothing from that? Yeah, Kai,

652
00:35:23,159 --> 00:35:25,519
that is meaningful for him to be able to do

653
00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:29,320
that pursue, No, like to take advantage of the smalls

654
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,480
that were out there with Brooklyn. It would be nothing

655
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,480
to eats the zoo bots. I know there were some

656
00:35:33,519 --> 00:35:35,639
people that were concerned, like why are they playing through them?

657
00:35:35,639 --> 00:35:38,119
More like I'm pretty sure they were trying not to,

658
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,440
Like just like it's preseason and Brooklyn had nobody to

659
00:35:42,599 --> 00:35:45,039
challenge him. There's nothing you're gonna get out of that,

660
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,559
I think. No. I you mentioned guys who can create

661
00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:53,400
and get a bucket like KPJ. Like he should be

662
00:35:53,639 --> 00:35:58,559
in that second unit. He was really good Tuesday night,

663
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,599
like four of not nine points. I mentioned the steel.

664
00:36:02,639 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: Against a really bad Brooklyn team, but yes, building it was.

665
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,519
Speaker 2: But like the shots he hit there was the defender

666
00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:10,760
like right in front of his face, like it may

667
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,599
have been a ladder to him or something like that.

668
00:36:12,679 --> 00:36:18,199
But he can hit high degree of difficulty shots. He can.

669
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,400
Coach Lee was talking about him today and saying, Justin

670
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,119
Russo asked a really cool question. Yeah, this was said

671
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:31,360
he uh, he asked him because of his heavy eyes.

672
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,400
So do you want to reel that in a little

673
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:38,159
bit now? And coach lu said, I am just getting

674
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,039
to know him and who he is as a player.

675
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,840
I want him to go out there right now do

676
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,559
what he's always done. Then I can see where his

677
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,880
limitations are where you know, I'm paraphrasing, but you know

678
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,679
he could get run into trouble and then make him

679
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,440
adjust or pull him back a little bit. But I

680
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,400
think they just wanted to be aggressive and just play

681
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,800
his style right now, and then they'll start chirming some

682
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,519
of the fat and seeing how they can get him

683
00:37:04,519 --> 00:37:07,239
to be a more efficient player who's playing within the

684
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,159
offense more instead of just iso ball. And I'm gonna

685
00:37:10,159 --> 00:37:12,559
get a tough bucket right now. That seems to be

686
00:37:12,599 --> 00:37:15,800
where it is. But he is someone that everybody knows

687
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,880
can't get a tough bucket like this, is someone who

688
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,079
can score on good defense.

689
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,559
Speaker 1: Anthony Ludi asked just we're gonna put a nail on

690
00:37:24,599 --> 00:37:26,639
the coffin on the Kai Jones questions. Do you think

691
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,639
kai Jones is locked up the last two way contract.

692
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,159
And I think because of the fact that Mobamba is

693
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:39,039
hurt that yeah, but great, uh.

694
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,639
Speaker 2: Al Donnis Williams was awesome the other night. But he

695
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,679
plays guard and the Clippers have so many of them.

696
00:37:48,119 --> 00:37:51,519
Speaker 1: But they signed him right because they waved ray J.

697
00:37:53,159 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 2: I thought they just like extended his Exhibit ten or whatever.

698
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,639
He's not Yeah, he's not on the Like he has

699
00:37:59,679 --> 00:38:01,840
a chance to keep playing in the preseason and try

700
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:02,559
to get the two way.

701
00:38:03,519 --> 00:38:04,679
Speaker 1: I think you are correct.

702
00:38:06,559 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 2: That would be pretty big news if he was just

703
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,440
on the roster on the fifteen man rosters start the

704
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,239
season after one game.

705
00:38:15,039 --> 00:38:17,679
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see because Law had a tweet a

706
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,960
bad it okay, twenty one man roster. Yeah, he's a

707
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,559
E ten twenty.

708
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 2: One man row. Yeah, and that's good. Like I don't

709
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,280
think he's gonna be able to make the team just

710
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,000
because the position he plays. But he was awesome, Like

711
00:38:29,159 --> 00:38:31,159
he fueled. He was probably the best player maybe in

712
00:38:31,199 --> 00:38:33,639
the second half because the Clippers are up eighteen and

713
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,239
they're down three at the half. Coach lew said he's

714
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,239
not going to do that second unit line shift.

715
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,559
Speaker 1: That Yeah, he was like blames himself.

716
00:38:42,599 --> 00:38:45,519
Speaker 2: That I'm not doing a five man line shift next

717
00:38:45,559 --> 00:38:46,760
game hockey style.

718
00:38:47,119 --> 00:38:50,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was Elijah Harkless who they added to the

719
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,199
ray J Dennis spot right.

720
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 2: Williams was making all these hustle plays and had a

721
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,639
crazy tip in after getting too off offensive rebounds, and

722
00:39:01,639 --> 00:39:03,800
then he hit a three and he threw I think

723
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,880
two lobs to Kai Jones. He was really controlling the

724
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,119
game in the second half at times, so credit to him.

725
00:39:10,119 --> 00:39:14,760
But it's just a numbers game. He'll likely end up somewhere.

726
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,800
I just don't think it can be with the Clippers

727
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:17,840
because he's a guard.

728
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,679
Speaker 1: Another glut of guards is someone commented on our YouTube.

729
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,599
All right, we got a couple of fun questions. D

730
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,360
Mayley said if he could bring back one player that

731
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,480
has played with this team to win a ring, who

732
00:39:29,519 --> 00:39:32,199
would it be? Basically one game away from winning the championship,

733
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,719
and the NBA randomly says he can bring someone back

734
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,840
into the team for the winning game, he would pick

735
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:43,800
excuse me, they would pick definitely Lou Williams. I would

736
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:49,599
maybe go Jamal Crawford. There's obvious answers, Blake CP three.

737
00:39:49,639 --> 00:39:52,719
I'm not doing the obvious, like, there's very clear who

738
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,800
he would actually want. Jamal Crawford getting ring with the

739
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:56,719
Clips would be sick.

740
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I probably like Lou Williams more, but I'm biased

741
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:03,679
because covered him.

742
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,079
Speaker 1: Great pick too, I mean, you can't you really can't

743
00:40:06,119 --> 00:40:09,800
go wrong with some of the old beloved Clippies.

744
00:40:10,199 --> 00:40:13,639
Speaker 2: Lose Game two against the Golden State Warriors and the

745
00:40:13,639 --> 00:40:19,280
thirty one point comeback is so insane. I yeah, I

746
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,639
love sweet Lou Williams. I think it would have to

747
00:40:21,679 --> 00:40:22,119
be him.

748
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:27,119
Speaker 1: What about Shay, I think he'll get his own. Yeah,

749
00:40:27,119 --> 00:40:30,519
I think he'll get that figured out. Yeah, I mean

750
00:40:30,559 --> 00:40:32,920
Lou will Yeah, Lou Lou is a really good pick.

751
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,639
Speaker 2: And again I love Pat Bev. Pat Bev he'd be

752
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:37,239
up there for me.

753
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again obviously Blake's yeah, yeah, yeah. Those guys

754
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,159
too were doing melos. You know. I think he really

755
00:40:44,159 --> 00:40:48,239
deserved a ring with Harris and he was here some

756
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:53,159
some Darius Minnuttes. Paul Pierce would actually be the funniest jo.

757
00:40:56,199 --> 00:40:59,000
The Clippers signed Jerome Robinson to an E ten for

758
00:40:59,079 --> 00:41:02,840
the final for games for Game four of the sweep,

759
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,199
obviously because it's a sweep for the Clippers to get

760
00:41:06,199 --> 00:41:12,920
their first ring. Andrew la lousis I hope I pronounced

761
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,039
that somewhat correctly. Asked do I really need the Clippers

762
00:41:16,079 --> 00:41:19,320
app to attend a game? Or can I go without that?

763
00:41:19,639 --> 00:41:26,679
I'm old school. You need the app because they don't

764
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:27,719
print ticket, like.

765
00:41:28,559 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 2: You need an app for any game now, I think.

766
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,639
So I went to two baseball I went to two

767
00:41:34,679 --> 00:41:37,719
baseball games, one in Boston and one in Anaheim this year.

768
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:39,760
I'm pretty sure it had to be digital.

769
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. And I wonder if this is like

770
00:41:43,039 --> 00:41:44,719
I'm wondering if the question is more like do you

771
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,519
need the facial recognition stuff, because you don't. You can

772
00:41:47,599 --> 00:41:49,880
opt out of the facial recognition stuff, but I think

773
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,719
you need an app for your tickets, which isn't that.

774
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,639
Speaker 2: I think that's pretty standardized now right.

775
00:41:55,679 --> 00:41:57,679
Speaker 1: I understand the facial maybe not being down for the

776
00:41:57,679 --> 00:42:00,440
facial recognition, but the tickets, it's like you, but you've

777
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,079
been to an event in the last two years, I

778
00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:04,599
haven't seen it.

779
00:42:04,639 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 2: Pretty cool for the keepsake part of it to still

780
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,039
have a physical ticket, but I don't think many places

781
00:42:09,079 --> 00:42:09,880
take that anymore.

782
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: That would be a sick giveaway for the first game

783
00:42:13,159 --> 00:42:14,519
into it like a replica.

784
00:42:14,639 --> 00:42:17,159
Speaker 2: Old school with a player on it.

785
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,599
Speaker 1: Ticket. Yeah remember get like remember when you would see

786
00:42:20,639 --> 00:42:23,280
like the season ticket packs and it would just be

787
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,480
like just like a mountain and take us with players.

788
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:26,480
That was some cool stuff.

789
00:42:26,559 --> 00:42:28,599
Speaker 2: And then on the back they had their food sponsor.

790
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:29,960
So it'd be like a chick fil a.

791
00:42:30,159 --> 00:42:33,639
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, small right, yeah, two.

792
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 2: Miss free throws fourth quarter. Keep this ticket, take it

793
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:37,119
to the chick fil A.

794
00:42:37,559 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, Andrew, I think you need the app. I

795
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,760
I appreciate being old school. I am wearing the old

796
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,199
school Clippers logo, but I have a phone that has

797
00:42:46,199 --> 00:42:47,519
an app for tickets.

798
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 2: My situation worked pretty easily at the fans shop store,

799
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,199
at least the flagship store.

800
00:42:55,559 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't do the thing. Yeah it was great,

801
00:42:58,519 --> 00:43:06,039
got charged for twelve hats. But you cannopt out of

802
00:43:06,039 --> 00:43:11,079
the facial stuff. You need a ticket, You need a

803
00:43:11,079 --> 00:43:13,840
digital ticket. That's not I don't think that's asking too much.

804
00:43:14,039 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 2: No, it's not like you can't put him any things

805
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:17,920
anymore without one.

806
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: All right, coming up after this last break, we're just

807
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,800
we're talking a little bit Clippers versus Blazers on Friday.

808
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,880
What we want to see from a special shout out

809
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,559
to a former Clipper all that coming up. After a

810
00:43:29,599 --> 00:43:34,400
quick audio break in three two what all right? We're back?

811
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,920
Clips and Dip Season three, episode eighteen, the Clippers take

812
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:43,880
on the Blazers Friday night, seven thirty Pacific. What do

813
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,079
we want to see other than fixing the turnovers with shames?

814
00:43:47,079 --> 00:43:52,280
Harden acknowledged that practice today. Norm also dealing with some

815
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:55,119
kind of injury that was undisclosed but doesn't seem to

816
00:43:55,159 --> 00:43:58,079
be super I packed full on.

817
00:43:58,159 --> 00:44:01,519
Speaker 2: His people are speculating he's got the illness. I don't know.

818
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: I hate Yeah, I'm just like, I'm also like, hold

819
00:44:04,559 --> 00:44:07,840
him out, just hold him out. We got a couple

820
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:08,440
more games.

821
00:44:08,559 --> 00:44:11,159
Speaker 2: He's too vital and he's fine. Great. The first two

822
00:44:11,199 --> 00:44:14,760
games he's good. He's a one shot, hot guy. He

823
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:15,559
doesn't need much.

824
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to see Lom Murray brought up a

825
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,960
funny thing about the difference between standing kai Jones and

826
00:44:21,079 --> 00:44:25,679
running kai Jones and how much better running kai Jones is.

827
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,880
And I want to see more running kai Jones because

828
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,800
he has to be. He is our backup five, which

829
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,280
I'm terrified about. He needs to be the best version

830
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:36,400
of himself.

831
00:44:36,119 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 2: In the preseason for now.

832
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,519
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, but you know we don't know what's up

833
00:44:39,559 --> 00:44:43,480
with Bamba. Like I hopes he can be ready. I

834
00:44:43,519 --> 00:44:45,599
just want him to be good, like we need everyone

835
00:44:45,679 --> 00:44:49,039
to be good this year. Yeah, I'm not saying it's

836
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:50,920
I'm not saying he's taken Zoo's minutes.

837
00:44:51,199 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 2: If Kai's playing real minutes in NBA game, it could

838
00:44:55,039 --> 00:44:58,760
be an adventure right now. It's just I agree. I

839
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,480
don't know how much basketball we watched, but I know

840
00:45:02,679 --> 00:45:06,159
raw athlete who hasn't played much when I see one,

841
00:45:07,079 --> 00:45:10,880
and you're right, if he runs the floor, that's where

842
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:15,000
he's at his most effective level because then you can

843
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,920
find him. He's beating his man down the floor. He

844
00:45:18,039 --> 00:45:21,119
was a track star. He didn't start playing ball too.

845
00:45:21,159 --> 00:45:25,239
Is fifteen. He can run like a gazelle. What's also

846
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:31,360
interesting is his cardio is special because of his background.

847
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,199
So it's not like as he is getting to minute

848
00:45:34,199 --> 00:45:37,159
twenty in these first two preseason games, he's not slowing

849
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:41,239
down at all. It's not affecting him at all. So

850
00:45:42,039 --> 00:45:44,639
there are some things in his favor and I want

851
00:45:44,679 --> 00:45:47,239
him to get the two way and out of necessity.

852
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,960
It looks like it's going to happen. And if he

853
00:45:51,039 --> 00:45:53,119
makes the lead from Game one to Game two to

854
00:45:53,159 --> 00:45:55,960
Game two to Game three here in the preseason, Like,

855
00:45:56,159 --> 00:45:58,719
what you don't know about young guys is how fast

856
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,440
they can progress and how quickly they can learn. And

857
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,840
if Kayle Jones is a really fast learner, well then

858
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,400
you can make fools of us all.

859
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,519
Speaker 1: And you moore games after this one.

860
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,559
Speaker 2: Right, turn into something special sooner than later for the

861
00:46:12,559 --> 00:46:13,880
Clippers in the big leagues.

862
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:18,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to see hard, Yeah, it's really hard.

863
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:20,480
What else do you want to see anything from the

864
00:46:20,519 --> 00:46:22,800
starters particularly? I mean we all want to see Jordan

865
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:27,119
Miller and Kobe Brown against not end of the bench rotations.

866
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,679
What else you put?

867
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 2: Take care of the basketball in their transition defense kind

868
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,440
of plays into that because when they've had turnovers, that's

869
00:46:38,559 --> 00:46:41,239
really their defense in the half court. I don't know

870
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,159
what the numbers are so far in the preseason, but

871
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,840
it's got to be damn good because Golden State was

872
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,800
pretty much only scoring on broken plays in transition the

873
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:52,119
first half. They were up by eighteen in the first

874
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,119
quarter on Brooklyn, who wasn't I don't think they scored

875
00:46:55,159 --> 00:46:57,960
the first four minutes or something like that. It took forever.

876
00:46:58,039 --> 00:47:02,000
I think Cam Thomas hit the first shot. Finally they

877
00:47:02,159 --> 00:47:04,960
take care of the basketball, they get back on defense.

878
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:10,360
They can be very, very tough defensively, and also they

879
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,719
got a rebounds and as coach lu said, as you

880
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,800
mentioned earlier, it's not just about putting a body and

881
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:17,840
boxing out your man and checking him, but then you

882
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,000
got to get to the basketball to close out the possession.

883
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,840
So baby steps, they're getting closer to improving that area.

884
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:26,840
I don't know if they can be a top ten

885
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,960
rebounding team, but can they at least be somewhere between

886
00:47:31,039 --> 00:47:34,000
average and a little bit before above above average? I

887
00:47:34,039 --> 00:47:35,719
should say that would be big.

888
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 1: Above average would be give me fourteen team jump in

889
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,800
the ranking. Another thing, and I'm harping on it. Three

890
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,559
point attempts. They had thirty last game, which was seven

891
00:47:48,639 --> 00:47:52,199
fewer than the nets, and I'd like to see a

892
00:47:52,199 --> 00:47:53,039
little higher than that.

893
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 2: They stopped turning over twenty times, they might be able

894
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:01,000
to how many offensive possessions every game right now?

895
00:48:01,079 --> 00:48:04,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well that's the other thing. That's like la Murray

896
00:48:04,119 --> 00:48:05,760
treated this out where he was like I might be

897
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,320
the only person who cares about this, and it was

898
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,320
like it was like field goal just like just scrapping

899
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:13,199
season stuff and like twos and threes, and it's like

900
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,119
that is what is important for the Clippers team. You

901
00:48:17,159 --> 00:48:22,360
can't lose the field goal attempt battle by an entire quarter.

902
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,679
Wasn't it Game one? We gave him an extra like

903
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,199
twenty two field goal attempts or something like that compared

904
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:29,519
to what the Clippers had. If you're only putting up

905
00:48:29,559 --> 00:48:32,920
eighty and they're putting up nineties or whatever, like, the

906
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:36,519
math just doesn't work at some point to catch up

907
00:48:36,559 --> 00:48:37,400
to a team like that.

908
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,559
Speaker 2: They did take ten threes. They were six of ten

909
00:48:40,599 --> 00:48:42,360
from three in the first quarter.

910
00:48:42,599 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: Right now, Okay, it did tail off.

911
00:48:44,599 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got up big and the young guys did

912
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,480
kind of feast on just getting to the paint. Kayle

913
00:48:51,559 --> 00:48:54,320
Jones had six dunks. So that's gonna affect not taking

914
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,920
many threes. But it's that easy against that small Brooklyn team.

915
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:02,480
But still better process would be seeing them get up

916
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,519
more three pointers tomorrow night against Portland. That'd be good.

917
00:49:06,639 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun. I may or may not be

918
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,519
at the game. Put in a creditial request, haven't heard

919
00:49:11,519 --> 00:49:14,719
back as of six thirty one pm on Thursday. The

920
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:19,599
game in Seattle yeah, and then.

921
00:49:20,159 --> 00:49:22,559
Speaker 2: In Seattle night, you're going to that game?

922
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:24,559
Speaker 1: I might? My dad lives over there.

923
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 2: Oh where are you?

924
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,119
Speaker 1: We got to give a shout out to a former

925
00:49:31,159 --> 00:49:35,360
Clippers coach who got named the head coach of a

926
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:39,480
brand new franchise. Shoutout coach Natalie head coach of the Valkyries.

927
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:44,039
That is so sick instrumental in Terrence Man development. He

928
00:49:44,079 --> 00:49:46,280
was super hyped. I love to see it.

929
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,639
Speaker 2: His reaction was awesome because he did not know. It

930
00:49:49,679 --> 00:49:51,039
was like, I can't wait to call her.

931
00:49:51,239 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 1: Yes, genuine, just so excited, happy, very But also it

932
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,719
would be so cool to be the head coach of

933
00:50:04,039 --> 00:50:08,559
like the first year of a franchise. Yeah, talk about

934
00:50:08,559 --> 00:50:11,599
blank canvas, putting in what like you want to operate?

935
00:50:11,679 --> 00:50:14,199
That's going to be sick. Creating history how when they

936
00:50:14,199 --> 00:50:19,840
play the Sparks? Sure, yeah, creating history also l ol. Eric.

937
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,400
We did a great drawing for that too, So go

938
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,639
check out l O L WTF Eric on Instagram and Twitter.

939
00:50:27,039 --> 00:50:28,880
I don't want to spoil it for those watching. You

940
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:30,159
have to go check it out and give them the

941
00:50:30,199 --> 00:50:35,400
engagement stats. But it'll be good. Anything else we want

942
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:36,960
to talk about before we get out of here.

943
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 2: Uh Kawhi oh more of the same at this point

944
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,239
with less than two weeks still opening a night him

945
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:56,480
not practicing still, it depends on when they talk about

946
00:50:56,679 --> 00:51:00,679
checking the box and taking steps. How how many steps

947
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:04,320
is it between not practicing and playing in game one?

948
00:51:04,639 --> 00:51:07,199
I don't know. I would assume there's gonna be some

949
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,679
live five on five, some contact in there before that.

950
00:51:11,519 --> 00:51:15,280
And he mentioned there's always a build up, especially in

951
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,480
his situation when OM asked him about playing in a

952
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,159
preseason game before playing in a regular season game. So,

953
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:24,239
if you could play in a preseason game first, I

954
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:28,679
think that would be very encouraging. But it doesn't look

955
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,440
like he's close enough to that yet. And preseason ends

956
00:51:32,559 --> 00:51:36,199
next Thursday. I think that's the last game. So I

957
00:51:36,199 --> 00:51:39,480
don't know if he can make that much progress within

958
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:39,880
a week.

959
00:51:41,039 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 1: Yeah it's Blazers tomorrow, MAVs on Monday, Kings on Thursday. Yeah,

960
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,320
I don't And again, there wasn't any new news. Don't

961
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,719
let the aggregators fool you into believing that there's some

962
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,800
new update that Kawhi hasn't been doing five on five.

963
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,519
That's been the case the entire I was saying, it's

964
00:52:00,559 --> 00:52:02,920
good but just don't let the aggregators rale you up

965
00:52:04,079 --> 00:52:06,079
from the stuff today because they were acting it was

966
00:52:06,159 --> 00:52:07,039
new news.

967
00:52:07,599 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's I don't know. If it's new,

968
00:52:12,119 --> 00:52:13,960
it would obviously be bigger news.

969
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 1: If he was practicing, Oh, we would have gone live.

970
00:52:18,199 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 2: But I had a quote from coach lou Tuesday night

971
00:52:24,039 --> 00:52:26,920
that I didn't see make the rounds with him talking

972
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:30,840
about holding him back to the point where you know,

973
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,760
if it pisses him off, so be it. And it's

974
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:39,119
really I think I think that that plays into my

975
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:43,239
theory of they are being so so overly cautious right

976
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,400
now in hearing what Kawhi said at media day was

977
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:50,840
saying things were great before and after Team USA, and

978
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,760
then they want him to take a step back. So

979
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,280
I don't think it was a setback leading to him

980
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,679
taking a step back. I think it was Kawhi said

981
00:52:59,679 --> 00:53:02,280
he was when the usual stuff he does during the summer.

982
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,719
That's what Omam asked him. And maybe the Clippers are like, Okay,

983
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,880
let's just let's just be overly cautious and let's let's

984
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,239
put put the reins on him a little bit. Uh,

985
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,639
he's going too far, too fast, and you got to

986
00:53:14,679 --> 00:53:15,880
protect the player for himself.

987
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,199
Speaker 1: And it seems like they at least are all on

988
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,400
the same page with that, because remember, you know there

989
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,760
was obviously there was that Memphis game where like TYLERU

990
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,559
and Kawhi had no idea he was gonna be taken

991
00:53:24,599 --> 00:53:27,360
out at half and stuff like that. So it seems

992
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,800
like at least everyone on the management side seems to

993
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:31,920
be on the same page.

994
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're in lockstep.

995
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,639
Speaker 1: And they don't seem wrong, right, Like if the Clippers

996
00:53:39,679 --> 00:53:42,679
have no reason to lose games this year because of

997
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:44,679
the draft picks lack of draft.

998
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:49,800
Speaker 2: Picks, well they they need to stay in front of Houston.

999
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:54,599
Speaker 1: Absolutely, so they need to win, like, they gotta win games,

1000
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,840
and if you need Kawhi to win those games. This

1001
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:02,559
team is gonna be when James, Kawhi Leonard are not

1002
00:54:02,679 --> 00:54:05,079
on the floor, not sharing the floor, when one of

1003
00:54:05,119 --> 00:54:07,280
them is off the floor, this team is going to

1004
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,039
be a roller coaster.

1005
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I still I still expect some miraculous wins like

1006
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:19,480
we've seen all the years when they're down and out.

1007
00:54:19,599 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: You know, I love I thrive when the Clippers are

1008
00:54:23,039 --> 00:54:26,679
like this. This is to me the most fun kind

1009
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:27,159
of team.

1010
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 2: You remember when they beat Brooklyn with KD and I

1011
00:54:31,039 --> 00:54:33,719
think Martin played or Kyrie and they had Wendy and

1012
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:34,960
Gabriel before he went.

1013
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,559
Speaker 1: To the Lakers went off like.

1014
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 2: They've had some of these scrappy victories. This is this

1015
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:44,320
is a hallmark of Clippers basketball the last five or

1016
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:45,000
six years.

1017
00:54:47,599 --> 00:54:49,199
Speaker 1: But it's going to be an interesting year.

1018
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,760
Speaker 2: What it's going to be, it is, it is.

1019
00:54:54,079 --> 00:54:55,039
Speaker 1: It's going to be fun.

1020
00:54:55,639 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. The predictions all are all over the place for

1021
00:54:58,559 --> 00:54:59,079
good reason.

1022
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it it is our year. I think that

1023
00:55:01,119 --> 00:55:02,599
is one thing that people keep forgetting.

1024
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,199
Speaker 2: If there's one way over here, and then you'll get

1025
00:55:06,199 --> 00:55:08,639
someone else that they're gonna win thirty games over here.

1026
00:55:10,119 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 1: I'll oscillate between those two, those two point of views,

1027
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:17,320
probably before the next episode we do. Speaking of next episodes,

1028
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:20,320
gonna be doing a live hang on Friday after the

1029
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,519

1035
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,159
do a bit of a release before, like a mental

1036
00:55:41,199 --> 00:55:45,679
release before the grind of the regular season starts. Other

1037
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:47,360

pactic start of the season. But I'm excited. I know

1065
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:27,239
the Clippers are going to play completely normal basketball and

1066
00:57:27,239 --> 00:57:29,519
not give me anything to worry about outside of the

1067
00:57:29,559 --> 00:57:35,239
other things I have to worry about. Yeah, And if

1068
00:57:35,239 --> 00:57:37,440
you're listening, you're going to when we were young and

1069
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,960
you see us. Don't talk to me about the Clippers.

1070
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 2: Dude, what do you think? Six seed?

1071
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: Dude? Do you think we could maybe get four?

1072
00:57:46,199 --> 00:57:48,159
Speaker 2: Is going to be midway through the year.

1073
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: If someone at if someone at this music fest asked

1074
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,920
me if kay Jones is going to be starting, I

1075
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:57,400
will waste I don't know, I'll waste the twelve dollars

1076
00:57:57,960 --> 00:57:59,840
fries I bought and throw them at him or something

1077
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:00,760
like that. Bro.

1078
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 2: I heard Adam say KPJ is going to be the

1079
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:07,800
starting lineup at some point at it could be some

1080
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:08,800
point next year, but.

1081
00:58:09,199 --> 00:58:11,239
Speaker 1: I'll say, here's his number. You can talk about him.

1082
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:15,159
You can talk about it right now, all right, Adam,

1083
00:58:15,159 --> 00:58:18,239
we need one positive thing to send these folks out

1084
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,039
on before most of us get stressed out about the

1085
00:58:21,039 --> 00:58:25,480
Dodgers tomorrow and then unwind with a very chill Clippers

1086
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:26,679
preseason game.

1087
00:58:27,519 --> 00:58:31,639
Speaker 2: One positive thing. We'll both be live streaming after the game.

1088
00:58:32,199 --> 00:58:34,639
Speaker 1: You come on our show. You can come on the show.

1089
00:58:35,559 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 2: I'm doing the radio at the same time. How do

1090
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:39,880
I do that during the break?

1091
00:58:40,199 --> 00:58:40,599
Speaker 1: Sure?

1092
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:44,079
Speaker 2: I have done that in the past for like a minute.

1093
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:46,159
Speaker 1: People love it.

1094
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:52,599
Speaker 2: Sure I'll do that. Let's see. I don't know. We

1095
00:58:52,599 --> 00:58:57,840
didn't get any worse news with Kawhi Leonard today and

1096
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,400
we got Kay Jones getting bigger opportunity to all right,

1097
00:59:00,519 --> 00:59:02,679
I'm excited for that and s in Seattle, and I'm

1098
00:59:02,679 --> 00:59:05,719
always excited for Seattle basketball, and Jamal will probably be there,

1099
00:59:06,519 --> 00:59:09,880
maybe Dentless Shrimp and the guys. It'll be fun to

1100
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,719
reminisce about the SuperSonics who never should have been taken away.

1101
00:59:13,239 --> 00:59:14,719
Speaker 1: I told my dad he should go to the game,

1102
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:16,159
and he said, why would I do that?

1103
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,239
Speaker 2: S GA should be a supersonic.

1104
00:59:19,599 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 1: Okay, now save it for the after dark stream or

1105
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:26,079

week podcast.

1108
00:59:31,199 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 2: Not complaining that he's gone from the Clippers, but complaining

1109
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,199
that he's not a supersonic an. If I do things

1110
00:59:36,559 --> 00:59:36,920
that is.

1111
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:40,920
