1 00:00:11,919 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans, welcome to a happy 2 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,039 hour hang at Clips and div I am Chuck Flackler, 3 00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:21,679 William Updike is willing to hop on at some point. 4 00:00:21,879 --> 00:00:26,000 Adam Oslin is unavoidably detained, unclear what he's doing if 5 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,399 it's not Clipper related. So well, let's hope it's a 6 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,239 good thing. We're just hanging out. We usually do these 7 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,119 live hangs at five point thirty on Friday. If you're 8 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,799 listening to this, because we do publish them on audio 9 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,280 after and you want to see us on live, you 10 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,600 can find us at YouTube dot com Slash at Clippers podcast. 11 00:00:44,799 --> 00:00:51,240 Today it is February twenty seventh. The Clippers played last night, 12 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,640 and they don't They kind of got like a mini 13 00:00:53,759 --> 00:00:59,359 little break before March, which is good. They had a 14 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,640 break anyway, I don't know, Marge is gonna be a 15 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,239 goddamn nightmare. The Clippers game last night was rough, just 16 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:14,000 from we could have won that standpoint despite playing very 17 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:19,359 poorly the second quarter of that game last night. I 18 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,400 tweeted it from the show account. But we are all 19 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,519 as we all deserve compensation for watching that second quarter. 20 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,319 The Timberwolves have a Clippers problem. Which is funny. The 21 00:01:31,359 --> 00:01:34,319 Clippers hung around despite not shooting well at all. They've 22 00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:39,120 made five threes the whole game. The defense was active, 23 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,040 but I mean the Wolves missed a bunch of shots too. 24 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,719 It was a weird game. You wanted to win it, 25 00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:55,159 but it didn't. I don't know. I never thought it 26 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,200 was tough to really buy into the Clippers winning that 27 00:01:57,239 --> 00:01:59,359 game last night, with how poorly the Clippers were playing 28 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,319 and the fact that Minnesota had a full roster, And 29 00:02:02,359 --> 00:02:04,920 in the end it came down to Anthony Edwards being 30 00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:10,960 the best player on the court, which was frustrating. But 31 00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:16,039 the Clippers finished February not very good. Yeah, someone's saying 32 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:23,599 Matherne was rough. It's growing pains, right, Like Mathern had 33 00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:26,879 a tough go at it. It makes sense he's starting, 34 00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:31,199 He's going against starting lineups immediately. His shot has been 35 00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:34,199 really bad for the Clippers from three, but that has 36 00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:42,560 to turn around. Yeah, we're March is here. Over February 37 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,719 the Clips were not There were some nice wins, but 38 00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:50,560 there were five and six over the month. Some concerning 39 00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:56,479 shooting numbers leading into March, there are eighteen games. Logan 40 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,560 saying I thought I saw we had the easiest schedule 41 00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:06,199 to end this season, maybe by winning percentage. Let me 42 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:15,800 look it up on Tankathon. Clippers have Yeah, they have 43 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,680 the twenty in terms of winning percent opponent winning percentage. 44 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,080 The Clippers have the third easiest schedule. But I think 45 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,800 winning percentage gets skewed a little bit when you have 46 00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:32,919 to play so many games like the Clippers do. Get 47 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,240 a back to back against the Pels, a back to 48 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,159 back against Chicago and Sacramento, and play Indy twice in March, 49 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,159 which is like good. I mean it's you know, there's 50 00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:54,120 some soft competition in March. But this it's just a 51 00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:58,159 brutal schedule. It's two sets of five and sevens over 52 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,159 nineteen days with travel for six of those ten games. 53 00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:05,680 That's from Tamer Sarrely. That is I believe how it starts. 54 00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:10,199 I believe starting Sunday is when this begins. Yeah, starting 55 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,680 Sunday is when the two five and sevens and nineteen 56 00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:18,480 days happened. Which is brutal, and it's not that like again, 57 00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:22,319 on paper, these games a lot of them are winnable, absolutely, 58 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,639 Like the Clippers, could you know, go ten and eight 59 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,319 or something. I would be fine with ten and eight. 60 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,199 I want it to be more, but ten and eight 61 00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:38,480 would be okay with me. February was not kind to 62 00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:42,560 the Clippers. They were thirtieth and field goal attempts per game. 63 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,959 They were thirtieth and three point attempts per game and 64 00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:49,920 twenty eighth and three point percentage per game for February, 65 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,639 which is really bad. The two point shooting was great overall, 66 00:04:53,639 --> 00:04:58,000 field goal percentage was sixth in the league, but again, 67 00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:01,680 the three point shooting has been so rough for the 68 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,040 Clips lately. They were twenty second and turnovers per game, 69 00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:09,399 eighteenth in net rating, including being twenty third in offensive rating. 70 00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:13,160 The good stuff, they are third and free throw attempts 71 00:05:14,319 --> 00:05:17,040 and eleventh and true shooting percentage. That's how rough the 72 00:05:17,079 --> 00:05:19,800 month was. Is that eleventh and true shooting percentage went 73 00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:26,120 in my good February stats note. So I'm a little 74 00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:32,399 concerned they're not playing their best ball right now. Kawhi 75 00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:38,600 get some rest, or got some rest, I should say, 76 00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:41,920 because it's I mean, I wonder if he's gonna play 77 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,160 all the back to backs in this month. We need him, obviously, 78 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,120 but if I mean, if things aren't going well, he 79 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,560 has to play. So it's like, yeah, I don't know. 80 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:57,759 It's gonna be it again. It opens easy ish first 81 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,800 three games back to back Warriors starting on Sunday, and 82 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,279 then they play Indie on Wednesday, so like all right, 83 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,360 And they have another back to back on Friday, Saturday, 84 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,399 which is at San Antonio at Memphis, and then they 85 00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:18,879 come back to play New York on Monday. So man, 86 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000 I know again, I know some of these games are easier, 87 00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:29,160 but the team is rough right now. Yeah. Matherin last 88 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,600 night he was the number one option and it was tough. 89 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,279 There was a play. Law Murray tweeted about this last 90 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:42,759 night and it's something that God damn it, let me 91 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:49,160 find it. It was a possession that was pretty indicative 92 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,480 of like how the game was going bad basketball by 93 00:06:52,519 --> 00:06:54,759 the Clippers out of the time out. Matherne had read 94 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,040 on him. Then a screen brought McDaniels onto Mathin possession 95 00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:01,720 effectively canceled from there. The rotations were tough last night. 96 00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:06,879 It's without Kawhi, without John Collins. It's just like what 97 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,439 are you gonna do? And Mathn wasn't playing particularly well, 98 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,519 so he just wasn't you know. The he's a confidence guy, right, 99 00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:18,639 the confidence is a little shaky. He's gonna probably sputter 100 00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:22,199 a little bit. And again, the Clips made five threes. 101 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:23,959 This is their second game, I think it was their 102 00:07:23,959 --> 00:07:30,319 second game in February making five threes. Lopez took the most, 103 00:07:31,399 --> 00:07:35,439 which is an ideal. The ball found Lopez a lot 104 00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:39,519 late in the clock last night. And God, it's gonna 105 00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:42,360 be great to get Darius Garland back. How many turnovers? 106 00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:44,639 How many times does someone in the third row catch 107 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:51,279 a pass? Like? God, damn, that was tough. Darius Garland 108 00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:53,319 getting back is going to be great. He practiced five 109 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,839 on five recently, which is awesome, and the Clippers will 110 00:07:56,839 --> 00:08:05,720 need him in starting on Sunday. Uh, they need Darius 111 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,680 Carran to come back at some point. I also Mathrins 112 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,240 shooting for the Clippers. He's shooting twenty percent from three 113 00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:15,600 as a Clip, which is obviously very bad. But this 114 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,800 is it feels to me like it's that John Collins 115 00:08:17,839 --> 00:08:21,399 thing from earlier in the year, where Collins was shooting 116 00:08:21,439 --> 00:08:24,519 a career worst from three and from two when the 117 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,600 season started, and now he's obviously bounce back from that. 118 00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:32,679 I don't think Mathrom's gonna come back to shoot like 119 00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:35,159 sixty percent from three or something like that. But I 120 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,679 think his averages are gonna even out, and he's gonna 121 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,159 look a lot better from the outside than he has 122 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:48,159 so far. I think that'll be all right. Kobe Sanders 123 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,039 played good bogie like. That's the other thing. There's gonna 124 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,960 be all hands on deck. We're gonna We didn't see 125 00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:57,720 Isaiah Jackson yesterday, which was kind of odd, just because 126 00:08:57,759 --> 00:09:03,360 Tyler had said we were going to. Jimmy Williams was 127 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,320 asking how is Garland's three point shooting? Let me go 128 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,799 ahead and pull up those stats, because he's a pretty 129 00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:16,559 capable three point shooter, thirty eight percent career averages, six 130 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,960 three is a game. He's a very good shooter, and 131 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,120 the Clippers need it. The Clippers need the shoot. Yes, 132 00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:26,000 Garland is so clearly, so important to what the Clippers 133 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,320 can possibly do. We need a point guard to get 134 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,360 to the paint and we need a guy who can 135 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,399 shoot from three, and he can do both of those things. 136 00:09:32,879 --> 00:09:35,519 The paint touches were lacking. They've been lacking. That's why 137 00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:37,840 the three point attempts have been down. That's why Chris 138 00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:41,679 Dunn hasn't you know, didn't take a three for one 139 00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:47,399 hundred whatever minutes, Like it's we need that, we need 140 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,360 a real point guard. And speaking of this, I feel 141 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:57,320 like Chris Dune is getting a lot of hate or 142 00:09:57,399 --> 00:10:01,639 just I guess annoyance, I think, and I think people 143 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,000 need to remember what Chris Dunn's role is supposed to be, 144 00:10:04,919 --> 00:10:07,440 Like we're not we were not supposed to see Chris 145 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:13,039 Dunn featured this much offensively, no disrespect to Chris Done, 146 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,360 but that's just not what his job is supposed to be. 147 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,240 So I think some of the hate is a little like, 148 00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:23,159 let's pump the brea, Like, when everyone's healthy, Chris Donne 149 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,919 is going to do what he's brought here to do, 150 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,039 which is play really good defense and kind of be 151 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,919 a release valve when the offense needs it, not setting 152 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,440 up the whole thing while also asking to play defense. 153 00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:41,000 Being asked to play defense. Excuse me? So I think 154 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,200 the Chris Done, like, yeah, the team is, it's up 155 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,679 and down right now, it's not super good. Yeah, he's 156 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,720 been grinding like he does so many things that this 157 00:10:48,799 --> 00:10:53,080 Clippers team needs. It will be okay when we are 158 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:59,480 fully healthy, it will be okay. But yeah, we're gonna 159 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,480 need a hell of march from Kawhi. We're gonna need 160 00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:10,399 the center rotation to play well. I there's this idea 161 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,879 kind of going into the playoff expectations that like, if 162 00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:17,080 the Clippers get the two seven and they played the Spurs, 163 00:11:17,799 --> 00:11:19,919 that's a good you know, that's their best shot at 164 00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:22,679 getting through. It's like, I guess, but I don't like 165 00:11:22,759 --> 00:11:30,360 that specifically because of the center rotation. That makes me nervous, 166 00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:33,279 and that's what makes me nervous for March too. But 167 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,000 Enski saying thoughts on Chris Done trying to change his 168 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,600 brand from the dude always getting into fights. I mean, 169 00:11:40,639 --> 00:11:44,200 I understand wanting to do that. Uh. I get it 170 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,240 from his perspective for sure. But the game last night, 171 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,320 specifically McDaniels, I'm a Jade mcdanis fan. McDaniels had a 172 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,919 couple extra fouls. He fouled Chris down a little extra 173 00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:01,480 I think in the second quarter on like a breakaway 174 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,399 on a fast break or something like that. And then 175 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:10,919 obviously there was the kerfluffle with Matherne where Chris Dunn 176 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,240 hopped in. It's just one of those things where it's 177 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,279 like it's frustrating, like that was a really chippy game 178 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:26,200 last night. It felt like a gross playoff game. So 179 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:31,480 we'll see about that. But I get it. I mean, 180 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,840 but he's still affected the game very well. He still 181 00:12:35,919 --> 00:12:37,720 was affecting the game. There was just there was this 182 00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:43,440 Justin Russo tweet. Yeah, when the Clippers had the run 183 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,240 to take the lead. Christine was huge for that that 184 00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:48,279 and what was big about that was they were getting 185 00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:51,919 paint touches and things like that. So like again, just 186 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,679 we can get really good point guard play from Chris 187 00:12:54,759 --> 00:12:58,840 dune in, you know, small stretches, but he's not supposed 188 00:12:58,879 --> 00:13:02,399 to be facilitating and doing all that all the time. 189 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:11,200 But we're gonna need him to. Like last night, last night, 190 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,080 Tyleru said, you know, he wasn't he didn't know if 191 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,720 Kawhi Collins and Garland would be available to play on Sunday. 192 00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:23,639 We know that the anclopse and bothering Kawhi over the 193 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,720 last while, which we're always gonna get vague things. I 194 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,840 think John Collins will probably be all right for Sunday, 195 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,440 would be my guess. Uh. And I just hope that 196 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,120 Kawhi Darius Garland I'm kind of like rests up a 197 00:13:39,159 --> 00:13:45,600 little bit, like don't rush Darius Garland back during the 198 00:13:45,639 --> 00:13:47,639 most hectic month of the season. I don't think they're 199 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,200 gonna rush him back, but I also hope, I hope 200 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,159 they're not doing that because it's like, hey man, we 201 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,240 need you to be fully healthy for the next three years. 202 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,679 So slamming the gas pedal on trying to get him 203 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,039 back during this month, it'd be difficult. Gar Gary Banks 204 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,600 is a fantastic nickname. We haven't spoken about this on 205 00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:15,759 the pod yet, but it's great. Fully healthy clips are 206 00:14:15,799 --> 00:14:19,240 three to six in the West. Yeah, that makes sense. 207 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,080 We are back to the no point guards era. But 208 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,639 kud but because guys are hurt, Like it's not by choice. 209 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:34,000 I guess Bradley Beal's on the team and he's hurt. 210 00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:37,039 He's someone who could be playing some point guard. I 211 00:14:37,039 --> 00:14:39,519 see people, my buddy, Yeah, he freed. He was like 212 00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:41,720 I forgot Bradley Beal was on the Clippers. It's like 213 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,000 it's it was a very weird start to the year. 214 00:14:46,159 --> 00:14:50,919 Done isn't necessary. He's not an evil. I'm not gonna 215 00:14:50,919 --> 00:14:55,799 call him a necessary evil, but he's it's Pat Bev stuff, right, 216 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,440 like that's what we need. He doesn't talk as much 217 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,399 shit as Pat Bev, but he certainly he sticks up 218 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,559 for his teammates and does those Pat bev Ish type things. 219 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:12,480 He's a fantastic perimeter defender. But yeah, man, I don't know. 220 00:15:12,679 --> 00:15:15,799 Let me know what you guys think. We're gonna like, 221 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:23,519 how how this March is gonna go. It's a lot 222 00:15:23,559 --> 00:15:27,759 of games. There's four back to backs in March. They 223 00:15:27,799 --> 00:15:32,440 start on Sunday. There's another one the Friday after that. Again, 224 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,720 one of them is against the Pelicans. They have two 225 00:15:34,759 --> 00:15:39,080 games against the Pelicans where it's like you have to 226 00:15:39,159 --> 00:15:43,320 win both of those games. And I know that's asking 227 00:15:43,399 --> 00:15:46,559 a lot because before that back to back against the Pelicans, 228 00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:52,240 the back to back against the Pelicans is their eleventh 229 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,279 and twelfth game of the month, and that is on 230 00:15:55,879 --> 00:15:58,960 March eighteenth and nineteenth, and they it is a five 231 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:04,600 and seven. Wait is it? Yes, it is the end 232 00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:10,279 of like a fiven But I think we talked about 233 00:16:10,279 --> 00:16:18,120 it on the pod last Tuesday or whenever that was Wednesday. 234 00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:21,960 But starting off with Pels Golden State Indiana in a 235 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,159 three and four could be a lot worse, So they 236 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:31,320 could start strong, like it's not crazy for them to 237 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:36,200 go four and one in that five and seven. I 238 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,919 didn't feel good as soon as I said it. But 239 00:16:40,039 --> 00:16:43,519 let's call it five and two, let's call it three 240 00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:45,799 and two. I would be fine three and two in 241 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:52,200 that first week. I'm feeling pretty good. I think you 242 00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:54,200 kind of answered your own question here. Our defense will 243 00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:56,279 keep us in any game. I don't understand why Betune 244 00:16:56,279 --> 00:16:59,240 gets more minutes and Sanders Shanders are super versatile mobile. 245 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,120 I think because two, I'm still playing solid defense. And 246 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,000 I think last night, let's not try and react too 247 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,359 hard to last night there were two starters out, things 248 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,640 are gonna be wacky, Like it's just gonna be weird 249 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,599 with two starters out. That inbounds pass was rough from 250 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,680 Nick Patu. The inbound pass for Nick Patumbe. I don't 251 00:17:21,799 --> 00:17:25,039 think landed in bounds. I think it just yeah, it 252 00:17:25,079 --> 00:17:29,039 went from out of bounds to out of bounds. There 253 00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:32,720 was a Bogie sighting last night. He grabbed a bunch 254 00:17:32,759 --> 00:17:35,559 of boards. Everyone grabbed a lot of boards, which is 255 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,440 kind of weird, but I mean, you know it'll get back. 256 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,960 It was Bogie and the young guys, which is what 257 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,480 got the Clippers back into this which was super funny yesterday. 258 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:46,759 But we are gonna need it. Like to your point, 259 00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:49,880 I guess not to completely disregard the point, like we're 260 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,839 gonna need the young guys to play a lot this month, 261 00:17:52,079 --> 00:18:02,200 just again because guys are gonna be out. Collins coming 262 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:07,200 off ahead injury is kind of weird. But Toom has 263 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,880 had zero points three games straight. He's not there to score. 264 00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:11,720 Last night he should have scored, I'll give you that, 265 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,240 But the two other nights he's not there to score. Also, 266 00:18:16,279 --> 00:18:19,799 Jordan Miller, it's there's a defense. There's just defensive stuff. 267 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,640 And the Clippers are a five hundred team right now. 268 00:18:23,039 --> 00:18:25,200 Sometimes you're gonna play like a seven to fifty team. 269 00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:27,359 Sometimes you're gonna play like a two to fifty team. 270 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,119 When you're a five hundred team. I think, sh it's 271 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:42,160 just it's just wonky. Uh. This person is saying, I 272 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,519 don't see the urgency anymore. Or are the Clips content 273 00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:48,359 with being the tenth seed? Tyler literally yesterday said they're 274 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,400 trying to get to seven or eight, And will Tyler 275 00:18:51,559 --> 00:18:55,440 finally start mathing alongside Kawhi and Garland? Already Garland is hurt, 276 00:18:56,519 --> 00:19:03,000 So hold off say the second question for maybe halfway 277 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,680 through march. Let's wait on that. Let's play for Garland 278 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,039 to get back before we ask why is it mathin 279 00:19:10,079 --> 00:19:16,759 starting alongside Kawhi and Garland. Yeah, I think it's great 280 00:19:16,759 --> 00:19:18,680 that the young guys get more playing time too. I 281 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,400 think it's going to continue to happen, like it's a 282 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,160 necessity for March. I know it's a meme on the 283 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,359 show that I'm concerned about March, but I am, and 284 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,359 I think rightfully so. But it gives the young guys 285 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:39,839 a chance to compete, Like, Yeah, I don't think. I 286 00:19:39,839 --> 00:19:41,759 don't know. Maybe Kawhi does play all the back to backs, 287 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:50,000 but I think some guys won't. Speaker says, I've never 288 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,079 heard it put like that, the seven fifteen two fifty. 289 00:19:52,079 --> 00:19:54,200 That's brilliant. I'm taking it. Go for it. I stole 290 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,799 it from somebody. I stole it from. Who did I 291 00:19:57,839 --> 00:20:00,960 steal that from? I can't remember. Was it a quote 292 00:20:01,039 --> 00:20:08,279 from Tommy Lesorda It might be anyway, but yeah, being 293 00:20:08,319 --> 00:20:11,079 a five hundred team is weird. You look like a 294 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,480 juggernaut sometimes and other times you just look like dog shit, 295 00:20:13,799 --> 00:20:17,160 especially with how kind of min Max the NBA is now, 296 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:23,519 specifically March. Also, I'd like to take this time. March 297 00:20:23,559 --> 00:20:28,799 is also just disturbingly difficult for the Clippers historically. From 298 00:20:28,839 --> 00:20:32,200 to Mayor, Tamayor has been on March watch, which I appreciate. 299 00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:34,319 He tweeted this out today. He said, the Clippers and 300 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,599 Pistons each played eighteen games in the month of March, 301 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,079 tied for the most in the NBA. It's the first 302 00:20:39,079 --> 00:20:40,839 time a team will play that many games in the 303 00:20:40,839 --> 00:20:43,960 month of March since the LA Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks, and 304 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,920 Wizards all played eighteen games in March in twenty seventeen. 305 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,559 The current record for most games ever played in the 306 00:20:49,559 --> 00:20:53,039 month of March is held by the Clippers, who played 307 00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:55,640 twenty games in thirty one days in March twenty twelve. 308 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,240 Why why, I thought that it was supposed to be 309 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,079 better once we got our own arena. Like, what the 310 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:24,960 fuck is going on? Sorry, I'm tweeting. Oh yeah, let's 311 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,680 talk about Yanick. I feel like aces fan, pretty solid 312 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,279 fan existence for you, congratulations, said I feel if Yanick 313 00:21:33,279 --> 00:21:35,279 scores more, which will take time, Yanick will be better 314 00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:37,480 center than Zo Bots all right, and last night not 315 00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:40,720 having three stars on the court, that was pretty impressive Yanick. 316 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,880 I love watching Yanick play. Most of the time he 317 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:50,960 goes for the highlight every single time, and I think 318 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,359 what people, I don't think he'll be better than Zoo 319 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,000 because we haven't seen. I mean time will tell. I 320 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,759 guess I can't say that either, but his defense needs 321 00:21:59,759 --> 00:22:03,599 a lot of work. Yanick's offense is also when it works, 322 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,839 it's really fun to watch it is. It's huge dunks. 323 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:13,039 He's made one three, which is great. It's all kind 324 00:22:13,039 --> 00:22:16,559 of like highlight reel attempts from Yonick, which again can 325 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,119 be very fun to watch, but you do have to 326 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,039 figure out how to do the routine stuff. And Yanick 327 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,079 is young. I'm not knocking him for this, but next 328 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,039 season it's gonna I'm interested to see, you know what 329 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,200 the off season looks like. Yeah, Jason's twenty six saying 330 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,480 he misses a lot of dunks and it's in part 331 00:22:36,599 --> 00:22:39,160 because he's going for the biggest dunk possible, which hey, 332 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,440 as a fan, helly. But to the point of like development, 333 00:22:43,599 --> 00:22:45,599 Like I'm I think he's had a really like this 334 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,720 rookie year is great. I'm very excited for what Yanick 335 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,160 could maybe be. I'm excited for his what he work 336 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,480 he puts in in the off season one hundred percent, 337 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,440 But I think this misses a like dunks thing, and like, 338 00:22:59,559 --> 00:23:01,880 you know, he's gotta I think he's gotten. He got 339 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,440 a goal tending call last night on a on a 340 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,519 block attempt that was like it looked very cool, but 341 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,240 it just it was gonna be a highlight right So 342 00:23:11,319 --> 00:23:15,079 he's kind of got rookie highlight play syndrome right now, 343 00:23:16,799 --> 00:23:18,440 and I think he'll be able to work out of it. 344 00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:22,079 Right Like, I'm not expecting him to be polished yet. 345 00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:26,319 He's still a rookie. But his development, for me, comes 346 00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:29,519 down to making the fundamental plays. He sets good screens. 347 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,240 I will say that the man can set a screen. 348 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,880 He got called for removing screen last night. There was 349 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,319 a there was like three possessions in a row, I 350 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,960 think in the fourth where the Clippers just got like 351 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,279 it was like two or three offensive fouls in a row, 352 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:50,640 and it was so frustrating. But he can set good screens, 353 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,119 like the bass is there, He's just got to make 354 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,039 the NBA play. I think a lot of what he's 355 00:23:56,039 --> 00:23:57,920 trying to do right now is make like an explosive 356 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:03,160 college play. If that makes sense. I'm probably rambling for sure, 357 00:24:03,839 --> 00:24:09,480 but the let's just see the fundamentals grow. Aces Fan 358 00:24:09,559 --> 00:24:11,680 two two two seems more like an anti Zoo bots 359 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:17,200 person at all. Yonick fan. Also to the anti Zoo people, 360 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,519 he's gone, y'all, you don't have to think about him anymore. 361 00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:26,599 Like yes, the three point shot, I agree. Yeah, that's 362 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,319 the thing, like the ceiling with Yonic. Offensively, the athleticism 363 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,759 is there. The shooting might be there, but more so 364 00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:38,039 than no, you know what I mean, Like it's it's there. 365 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,319 The foundation feels there for a very interesting defensive or 366 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,480 offensive center. How does the defense develop? How does making 367 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,640 the normal plays develop? I hope it goes well because 368 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,240 the tools are all there. As Adam says, he is 369 00:24:52,319 --> 00:24:57,359 dangerously high on Yonick. Yeah, and Devin Chanzo got worked 370 00:24:57,559 --> 00:25:00,640 by a Yonis Green. If you're remember what it was 371 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,079 like watching like Mobaba and Kai Jones set screens, it's 372 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,160 so much different even than Yanick. Yanick makes contact on 373 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:14,000 his screens. Yannick sets a solid screen. It's like, it's not, Oh, 374 00:25:14,079 --> 00:25:15,880 is that a ghost screen? Like, it's not, it's a 375 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:24,400 real screen. Don't write off the Pels. That's very truex Is. 376 00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:27,279 I'm yeah, that's true. I think I might be hoping 377 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,440 that the Clippers can beat the Pels they don't want 378 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,279 to give that top pick up. That's a very good point. 379 00:25:33,319 --> 00:25:35,319 I was getting a little too too big for my 380 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,160 breeches there. When it comes to the Pells and Clippers. 381 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,400 Luck that being said, they should. I hope they can 382 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:51,599 win that back to back. Someone saying call me hopelessly optimistic, 383 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,119 but I think we're going to be quite good when 384 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,279 healthy and fully staffed. I also believe that the upside 385 00:25:56,279 --> 00:25:57,640 the team is higher than a zoo and hard and 386 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,119 let's getting healthy. I cannot wait for this team to 387 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,680 be fully healthy. I think I personally have kind of 388 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,400 I'm not writing off this season. I want to see 389 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,960 good development from guys. I want to see Garland mix 390 00:26:10,039 --> 00:26:13,400 well with the team and stuff like that. Yeah, but 391 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,480 I'm yeah, I'm excited to see everyone fully healthy, which 392 00:26:16,519 --> 00:26:18,440 I think means we have to wait until next year. 393 00:26:18,519 --> 00:26:21,279 There's something some questions with how Beal fits in and 394 00:26:21,319 --> 00:26:28,039 stuff like that, But I agree with you, sting Fan. Wait, okay, Stingvan, 395 00:26:28,839 --> 00:26:32,519 is that the wrestler or the musician or do you 396 00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:34,119 just like getting stung? I need to know if that's 397 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,160 the wrestler of the musician. But the foundation, that's what 398 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,319 the that's what was so nice about the trades, right 399 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,000 is we got some picks, we got some pieces, like 400 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,000 there's there's some motion there for the future, which I 401 00:26:47,319 --> 00:26:53,720 totally agree with. Yeah, the paint defense is an issue, 402 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,400 and when guys get tired, like they're going to in March, 403 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,000 I think it's gonna look a little sloppy for those 404 00:27:01,079 --> 00:27:07,920 last two weeks of March. For the last mainly just 405 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,680 like the last week, there's no back to backs in 406 00:27:10,759 --> 00:27:14,160 the last week. They play every other day. Starting on 407 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,720 March twenty first, they play every other day for the 408 00:27:16,759 --> 00:27:20,799 next ten days, so they have six games in ten days. 409 00:27:22,279 --> 00:27:29,160 The paint defense is something that has been an issue. 410 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,400 Logan Revolvo saying, are we keeping Kauai after the season 411 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,079 with the whole investigation, I don't know. There still has 412 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,799 to be pun There still has to be some kind 413 00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:45,440 of punishment levied for this investigation, which I don't know 414 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,240 what the hell's gonna happen. But I don't see why 415 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,920 the Clippers wouldn't keep Kawhi for fifty million dollars and 416 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,079 then he's an unrestricted free agent in twenty seven to 417 00:27:55,079 --> 00:27:59,559 twenty eight. You have to keep him unless you get 418 00:27:59,559 --> 00:28:03,880 some kind of trade. And young player situation. But I think, 419 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:09,319 like I've loved how much the vibe hasn't changed with 420 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,519 the new guys. Kawhi, you know, tell Amathn that was 421 00:28:12,519 --> 00:28:16,039 a good shot on the buzzer beater. He missed the 422 00:28:16,079 --> 00:28:21,960 other game. Like, I think Kauwhi is able to kind 423 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,519 of like show these guys how to be a pro. 424 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:30,519 He's obviously lead by example guy. But I think I've 425 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,160 liked the vibes with Kawhi and these young guys, you know. 426 00:28:33,319 --> 00:28:36,960 So I hope they keep them, But I feel like 427 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,480 we don't know what's gonna happen with the punishment. Okay 428 00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:44,319 Sting fan is a musician, huge fan of Sting with 429 00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:46,319 the police and even more as a so like, Okay cool, 430 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,039 you should check out Sting the wrestler cool as well. 431 00:28:49,160 --> 00:29:02,000 Pretty pretty tight, Frankie Cosmos. I think that's good shit. 432 00:29:02,079 --> 00:29:04,279 Frankie said, is the fact that I follow the team 433 00:29:04,319 --> 00:29:08,240 not punishment enough? No, it never has been. Unfortunately, it 434 00:29:08,319 --> 00:29:12,759 never has been. Jose Villaweneva has asked this question five times. 435 00:29:13,119 --> 00:29:16,759 Do I think Isaiah Jackson can get rotational minutes? Honestly, man, 436 00:29:16,839 --> 00:29:20,400 I thought he was gonna get him yesterday. I don't know. 437 00:29:22,519 --> 00:29:27,400 He's the only other than ty Tye. Isaiah's the only 438 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,480 guy who didn't play, which is weird because ty had 439 00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:32,200 said he was going to play. So I don't know 440 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:39,680 if he's gonnat rotational minutes. I don't know how how 441 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,279 helpful the minutes would be. I don't know, Like, let 442 00:29:42,279 --> 00:29:50,920 me look up his contract. Yeah, he's locked in for 443 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,960 two more years, so I guess maybe you want to 444 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,839 see what he can do. But all the response I saw, 445 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,599 how can I say, like Pacers fans weren't in incredibly 446 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:06,319 upset to lose Isaiah Jackson, So I don't know if 447 00:30:06,319 --> 00:30:13,880 he gets minutes, Ali Malik, what's up? Very funny? Oh, 448 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,079 I'm also wearing a Clippers like I think staff shirt 449 00:30:16,079 --> 00:30:18,119 I got from Goodwill the other day for like three bucks. 450 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,519 Yanni still gives me javail vibes, which is great. Yes, 451 00:30:22,319 --> 00:30:25,519 Like again, he's just gotta harness it, harness all of it, 452 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:33,599 no worries, how's available, nave I know how that goes. Yeah, 453 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:41,240 even Bogie got minutes. The Bogie thing is weird. I 454 00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:42,960 have to think they were trying to trade him during 455 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:48,599 the All Star break, like he's just getting DMPs he's rusty, 456 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,720 which is a bummer. I like I you know, Bogie. 457 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,400 The idea of it was great, much like the Clippers 458 00:30:55,519 --> 00:30:58,720 kind of this era, Like the idea of all of 459 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:06,480 this and on paper is great. Yeah. The Battle for 460 00:31:06,599 --> 00:31:11,119 March starts on Sunday. I will I did admittedly get 461 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,240 a little too hyped on how the Clippers might perform 462 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,279 against the Pels. That is a fair thing to call out. 463 00:31:19,119 --> 00:31:23,799 But it's gonna be tough. I don't. It's a lot 464 00:31:23,839 --> 00:31:33,960 of travel, but they play a lot of bad teams. 465 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,079 Jackson is sixth nine, was seven foot arms and can 466 00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:39,960 move well. Ty has to play and Lopez minutes are 467 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,720 really bad. Lopez minutes are bad, but like I mean, 468 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:49,799 the the small team right now, Like I know, again, 469 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,519 I think last night's fresh in our minds. The Lopez minutes, 470 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:55,799 he got a lot of weird mid range shots. He 471 00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:00,720 was getting the ball late in the clock. That yesterday 472 00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:03,319 was again not indicative of how a lot of these 473 00:32:03,319 --> 00:32:10,720 guys are supposed to play. So I yeah, But as 474 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,880 I mentioned earlier in the stream, the clips are there 475 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:18,279 were twenty second and turnovers per game in February for 476 00:32:18,359 --> 00:32:22,720 this month. They can't be that in March. They can't 477 00:32:22,759 --> 00:32:26,000 be twenty second. It will be a very difficult month 478 00:32:26,039 --> 00:32:29,680 if the Clippers are twenty second turnovers for this month, 479 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,240 specifically for the season. I know they're twenty first overall, 480 00:32:33,319 --> 00:32:36,319 but we they gotta take care of the ball somehow. 481 00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:46,039 It's difficult without a real point guard that like, please 482 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,599 just be league average. Just be fifteenth and there were 483 00:32:48,599 --> 00:32:51,759 between fifteen and twenty one or whatever. But I think 484 00:32:51,799 --> 00:32:53,880 it just means your outlier games aren't as bad. You 485 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,400 don't have the like twenty four, you know, like nine 486 00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,440 in the fourth or something like that. Playing man saying y'all, 487 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,799 but I'm high off the Yannick smoke. Adam Ozen has 488 00:33:02,839 --> 00:33:07,160 routinely expressed how high he is on Yanick. So what's 489 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,880 the four to twenty time for Yannick do we have? 490 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,559 If they were to pick a game to play, everyone 491 00:33:18,599 --> 00:33:20,599 would be against the Warriors, try to knock them down 492 00:33:20,599 --> 00:33:23,519 the standings more. It's a great question. I'm assuming Garland's 493 00:33:23,519 --> 00:33:26,160 off the table for this because Garland's practiced five on five. 494 00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:29,759 There might be some stuff coming out later tonight if 495 00:33:29,799 --> 00:33:32,640 they practiced, but there'll be some quotes from practice tomorrow 496 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:38,279 on Saturday. Yeah, I think it's Golden State for sure. 497 00:33:38,359 --> 00:33:40,640 I think everyone will play both games to be honest, 498 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:47,680 to start this month, because yeah, you got Golden State 499 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,880 in there. You got a Portland game at the end 500 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:56,160 of the month, which is huge. You got another Minnesota game. Yeah, 501 00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:04,119 there's I mean Golden State, Minnesota, Portland and it play everybody. 502 00:34:04,279 --> 00:34:06,039 Who do I want to taking the ball up? I 503 00:34:06,039 --> 00:34:09,039 don't know, Man, at this point, Darius Garland, I'm not 504 00:34:09,039 --> 00:34:12,119 trying to think about anyone other than do I have 505 00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:16,119 to choose someone else? The guy who's unable to play 506 00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:19,159 right now? But I mean it has to be Chris 507 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:24,199 don like it. It just has to be. And he's doing, again, 508 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,760 an admirable job. He's not supposed to be in this role. 509 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,400 But we'll see. They got to take care of the ball. 510 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,159 I think the shooting will get better. Am I foolish 511 00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:38,119 to think the shooting is going to get better? On 512 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:43,800 the season? The Clippers shoot thirty six from three and 513 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,800 they just got done with a month where they shot 514 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,199 thirty two and a half percent, So I think that 515 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,199 will get better. I think the three point shooting will 516 00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:56,880 be better in March than it was in February. DG 517 00:34:57,079 --> 00:35:00,159 returns Sunday or Monday. I don't know if he's going 518 00:35:00,199 --> 00:35:03,639 to return on Sunday. Tyler seem pretty pessimistic about that. Yesterday, 519 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,760 Monday would be good. It might be a weird game, 520 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,159 though it might be one of the peals games in 521 00:35:11,199 --> 00:35:14,119 the middle of the month. Like we don't There hasn't 522 00:35:14,199 --> 00:35:21,719 been a lot of scuttle bit about d G Jose 523 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,440 flowing away, but never understood why Lopez can't get rebounds. 524 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:29,039 It's weird. The NBA is weird. Luke Canard, forty three 525 00:35:29,039 --> 00:35:31,840 point shooter, takes few or three point attempts a game 526 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,199 than Draymond Green this year. Shit is weird. The NBA 527 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:42,440 doesn't make any sense sometimes. Yeah, take care of the ball. 528 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,280 The shooting will get better. I'm pretty sure it has 529 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,159 to be better than twenty eighth if they want the 530 00:35:48,199 --> 00:35:54,400 month to go. It's called five hundred. Yeah, just take 531 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,239 care of the damp ball. The defensive rating has been fine, 532 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:03,719 fourteenth in February, pretty damp solid with this personnel, so 533 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:09,119 that stay the same offensive rating. Just get to get 534 00:36:09,159 --> 00:36:13,199 to seventeenth or twentieth, don't be you know, firmly in 535 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:17,039 the bottom third of the league and at least the 536 00:36:17,079 --> 00:36:20,199 schedule isn't juggernauts, But that just makes it not as 537 00:36:20,199 --> 00:36:22,239 hard of eighteen games. It doesn't make it an easy 538 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:28,559 eighteen games. It makes it not as difficult of eighteen games. 539 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,960 If matherw is going to come back around, I feel 540 00:36:32,039 --> 00:36:37,480 confident about that. Why is going to be there back 541 00:36:37,519 --> 00:36:47,039 At some point there's a possibility to go eleven and seven. 542 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,199 That would be the peak for me, would be eleven 543 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,280 and seven in this month. Is it doable? I don't know, 544 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,760 but that would be the peak for me. Floor who 545 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:02,239 knows the floors probably like, yeah, the floor is like 546 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,960 six and twelve I think for this month. And I 547 00:37:05,039 --> 00:37:07,079 hope that doesn't happen, and I don't think it will. 548 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,360 If they take care of the ball, shoot better than 549 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,280 twenty eighth in the league, and from beyond the arc, 550 00:37:14,559 --> 00:37:16,639 there's not even able to generate them. I don't know. 551 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:23,480 It's gonna be difficult, but we'll see what happens. This 552 00:37:23,559 --> 00:37:26,639 starts on Sunday. We'll have a full pod for everybody 553 00:37:27,559 --> 00:37:31,079 on Tuesday because the Clippers will have played two games, 554 00:37:31,119 --> 00:37:33,559 and then they'll play again on Wednesday, and then again 555 00:37:33,599 --> 00:37:36,199 on Friday and Saturday. There's a lot of Clippers basketball 556 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:42,280 coming up, so strap In, it's gonna be a weird 557 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,920 month for sure. I'm gonna get out of here. Thank 558 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,920 you to everyone for hanging out. Oh someone's asking, what's 559 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,400 my starting five with everyone healthy minus bial Never mind, 560 00:37:50,559 --> 00:37:55,760 great question, but we are not getting out of here. 561 00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:01,679 My ideal starting five with everyone healthy the minus beal. 562 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,519 Do I have to pick a center? Like is this 563 00:38:06,599 --> 00:38:08,079 for next year? Because I don't know if I can. 564 00:38:08,119 --> 00:38:12,760 I guess I'll go Brook, Right, So we're gonna go Garland, 565 00:38:13,079 --> 00:38:24,679 get out of here, Garland. Man who's at the two? 566 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:40,119 Maybe Garland, I don't know, Probably Garland, don Kawhi Collins 567 00:38:40,159 --> 00:38:45,760 Lopez or Garland done Kawhi. No wait, yeah, Garland because Math. 568 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,440 It's difficult with the defense because I want the defense 569 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,159 to be good. So I think maybe you have to 570 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:59,039 go Garland, Math, Kawhi, Dereck Jones, and then Brook Lopez. 571 00:39:00,119 --> 00:39:03,159 Center is just the center is just so bad. Like 572 00:39:03,519 --> 00:39:06,280 those first four are great. You got Garland, Math, Kawhi, 573 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,679 derk Jones Jr. That's nice. Ideally, Yeah, they're gonna have 574 00:39:10,679 --> 00:39:15,360 to pick up a center in the off season. I 575 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,800 do remember seeing Sorry sting fan is still chiming in, 576 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,159 thank you for hanging out, sting fan. I do remember 577 00:39:20,159 --> 00:39:22,239 seeing the wrestler from the old WCW days with a 578 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,559 baseball bat, But then when I got back into wrestling 579 00:39:24,559 --> 00:39:26,360 for front, I only cheered for the bad guys. I 580 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,360 hated Hogan especially well historically a good call and hating 581 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:35,440 Hulk Cogan. He was a huge dick anti union j 582 00:39:35,599 --> 00:39:37,880 C at the five. We're not starting j C. No, 583 00:39:38,039 --> 00:39:41,039 that thumbs up is not indicative of my feelings of 584 00:39:41,119 --> 00:39:49,519 JC at the five. I think Jay C the five. 585 00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:51,960 Once the game starts, that seems great, But I think 586 00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:56,960 starting with JC at the five is crazy. Man. A 587 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,559 shout out to John Collins. He seems to be healing up. 588 00:39:59,599 --> 00:40:07,239 Okay that it was a crazy fault. I am yeah, 589 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,360 I'm heading out. Here's two. Here's the starting off March 590 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,960 with a win. Let's get past the Cursed Pelicans, and 591 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,960 then let's beat the Cursive Warriors and then we'll just 592 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,119 go from there. Hope everyone has a good night. I 593 00:40:21,639 --> 00:40:23,679 and the full crew will be back on Tuesday. There's 594 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,079 two games in between now and then, so let's just 595 00:40:27,199 --> 00:40:29,599 try and you know, game by game we'll figure it out. 596 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,480 It's gonna be a tough month, but the Clippers can 597 00:40:31,559 --> 00:40:35,079 bounce back, shoot better, take care of the ball, and 598 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:40,519 things will be okay.
