1
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:16,519
Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans welcome to an incredibly

2
00:00:16,559 --> 00:00:21,800
impromptu clips and did postgame hang. The Clippers beat the

3
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,879
Rockets by twenty one twenty eight to one h eight,

4
00:00:28,039 --> 00:00:29,800
a result that I don't think a lot of us

5
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,200
were expecting. Well, we welcome it because there's no reason

6
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:39,520
to not win games. But what what an incredible uh

7
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,359
Holiday week performance from the Clips Cowhigo's for forty one,

8
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,960
James Harden overcomes a slow start to go for twenty

9
00:00:48,039 --> 00:00:53,399
nine points. We got thirteen from Kobe Sanders. We got

10
00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:55,600
a lot of good performances. The Clippers didn't turn the

11
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:02,280
ball over for the most part. They shot. They shot

12
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,920
fifty four from three. It was absurd from outside. They

13
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,760
won turnovers, They got killed in offensive rebounds, but that

14
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,319
somehow didn't matter. I don't know what this game means

15
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,120
about the rest of the season at all, but it

16
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,000
feels good. We can't we can't pretend that it doesn't

17
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:26,719
feel good to get this win. Yeah, the Rockets are

18
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,760
for sure in a tailspin. I think. So that's what

19
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:33,319
was fun tonight is that we got to be a

20
00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:37,120
trap game. The Clippers Will talked about it last week.

21
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:38,480
He was like, when do we get to be a

22
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,200
trap game. We're a trap game now. That's just what

23
00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:46,280
we are. Zoo Bots was out. This is the definition

24
00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:50,120
of a trap game. We are that team now and

25
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:54,000
that means that we're playing inspired and annoying basketball, which

26
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,040
I think is a good thing. Chunk was on the

27
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:04,680
last live stream. They're back already. This is so funny.

28
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,959
What a great uh, what a great way to go

29
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:14,719
into a into the Christmas holiday. Zero doubts given, of course.

30
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:20,960
Now this team, like this was a completely different looking

31
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,560
team than we'd seen all year tonight from the Clippers.

32
00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:29,639
The defensive intensity was great, kind of from top to bottom.

33
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,520
Kawhi Leonard also, we can't I'm sorry, I don't mean

34
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,000
a gloss over the fact that Kawhi had forty one

35
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:42,280
on seventy shooting tonight. Kawhi got whatever he wanted. It

36
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:47,840
was fantastic. We got free chicken, which is great. This

37
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,199
was This was as good as tonight could have possibly gone,

38
00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:54,120
and I think that's wonderful. James Harden did a lot

39
00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:56,159
of damage to the line, which is the kind of

40
00:02:56,199 --> 00:02:58,560
thing you need in a game against a team like

41
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:01,199
the Rockets. When you're a team like the current Clippers are.

42
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,439
We love to see it. What an insane game. I

43
00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:12,599
don't know. Again, I don't know what this indicates for

44
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,719
the future, but any good things to build on will

45
00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:20,599
take it. I don't think this changes the possibility of

46
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:28,520
a move being made. Lawrence Frank loves trades. We know that. Yeah, exactly. Yeah,

47
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,800
this means that Zoo is no longer needed. Uh No,

48
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,840
that's crazy, Joseph French. For the record, I think you're joking.

49
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,280
The center play was bad tonight. We can't talk about that.

50
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:45,800
Brook Web that very good. I did like what Tyler

51
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,240
did where he made absolutely sure that Yanick was not

52
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:51,960
going to go against Steven Adams because that would have

53
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,960
been that would not have been good for Yanick. So

54
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,840
I like that move by TYLERU we saw small ball,

55
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,560
which was interesting. Hats off to Chris Dunn, who continues

56
00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:09,120
to have a great three point shooting year. He's a

57
00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:12,520
thirty eight percent. There's three of seven to night, which

58
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:18,680
is awesome. Yeah. I don't know, this is just it's

59
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,519
just nice to get this kind of win. This was

60
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,360
the best game the Clippers have played all year. I

61
00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:26,959
don't think, which sucks that Zoo wasn't there for it,

62
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,800
But in terms of what is happening in the season

63
00:04:29,959 --> 00:04:33,000
and how things have gone, I think this is this

64
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,000
is the best that they've played to put up one

65
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,560
hundred and twenty eight points against this Rockets team. It's

66
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,759
pretty impressive and it took some outlier performances. I'm not

67
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,800
going to pretend this is the norm. I'm not going

68
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:47,959
to do that, but it again, it does feel good.

69
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:54,199
Raymond is here to overreact. Yeah, send me your player

70
00:04:54,240 --> 00:05:00,439
of the game, Kawhi or James Harden. Again, Kawhi was fantastic, huge,

71
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:06,480
Only eight turnovers. That's close to the fewest all year

72
00:05:07,519 --> 00:05:09,360
for the Clips. It's funny what happens when they don't

73
00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:13,240
turn the ball over. Crazy Again, we got lucky on

74
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:20,279
the offensive boards. There is a weird thing with Durant

75
00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:22,920
on the Rocket right, Like it's just they're still figuring

76
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,040
it out. I mean, they're still a very good basketball team.

77
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:38,000
But shot okay, inspired effort from the Clips. Just take

78
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:45,240
the win, Like, let's just take the win. Yeah, I

79
00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:48,399
looked really good. This was the best that Kawi looked

80
00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:52,759
all here. Stempe is worried about Bogie's production. Yeah, both

81
00:05:53,199 --> 00:06:00,000
is not having a good year. I think the injury

82
00:06:01,879 --> 00:06:06,360
have really taken a toll on Bogie. He hasn't been good,

83
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,000
so I understand. I share the fear about his production.

84
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,399
I feel that unfortunately it sucks, but it's just not there.

85
00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:21,519
Shout out Kobe Sanders man made good decisions for the

86
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:29,720
most part, zero turnovers, Like he can make things happens.

87
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:32,920
It's real. He has the trust of the coaching staff

88
00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:36,480
right like Ty is playing Kobe Sanders he has more

89
00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:45,240
trust than any of the other young guys on the team.

90
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,279
Cam Christy, Jordan Miller, Kobe Brown all played garbage time tonight,

91
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:52,279
and Kobe Sanders, off rip of him being in the league,

92
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:58,000
had more trust than those other guys. So awesome to

93
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,199
see from Kobe Sanders had. In the pregame, Adam and

94
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:03,360
I talked about wanting to see a good game from Yanick.

95
00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:07,639
Yanick did not have a good game. It's a tough opponent,

96
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,720
so I'm not like incredibly discouraged, but it was not

97
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:19,000
an incredibly strong performance from Yanick. That's fine. Hopefully it's

98
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:25,120
better next time. We'll see Raymond saying, am I drinking year?

99
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:35,079
But mate, I'm drinking a Guinness. Yeah. Bogie's three. What

100
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:42,879
is he shooting this year, shooting thirty four. Yeah, it's

101
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,240
not where you wanted to be. Fair, fair to be

102
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:53,279
disappointed by that. Yeah, Kobe's defense. I think Kobe is

103
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,959
just showing that he's learning how to play professional basketball

104
00:07:56,079 --> 00:07:59,800
very well. He's learning well. I'm not saying he's very

105
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,839
good or anything like that yet, but I just like what.

106
00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:07,279
I like what he's bringing in the team. Everyone does.

107
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,199
It's awesome. And thirteen points in a game where you

108
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,839
win by twenty, we'll take it. You don't beat the

109
00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:18,560
Rockets by twenty without kind of an outlier Kobe Sanders game,

110
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:25,360
which will obviously take like it's a it's a weird.

111
00:08:25,399 --> 00:08:31,720
It's such a weird win xbogo project defending Bogey saying

112
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,360
he likes the Bogey minutes. There's ball movement. Yeah, he

113
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,039
can move the ball, but ultimately he's there to score, right,

114
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:44,080
Like he he can't shoot thirty four percent from three, Like,

115
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,240
it's not the main thing he's there to do is

116
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:55,639
to score. But hats off to pretty much everyone tonight.

117
00:08:57,279 --> 00:09:03,679
Kuhi eight boards, that's how you know he's engaged. Just

118
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,120
good shit, just a yeah, I hope this was I

119
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,840
hope this was someone's first time watching the Clippers tonight,

120
00:09:10,879 --> 00:09:13,120
and they went, how do they only have eight wins?

121
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,360
Because this did not look like an eight win team.

122
00:09:17,919 --> 00:09:24,919
Effort defense, take the shooting outlier out of it, take

123
00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:28,279
the shooting outlier out of it. Everything else looked like

124
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,879
a team that was engaged and still wanted to win

125
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:38,440
and play good basketball, which I think is great. I'm

126
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,320
not saying they win if you. I'm not saying like,

127
00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:43,679
just look at it through that lens of like, this

128
00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:48,000
team still very much has something that they want to do,

129
00:09:48,039 --> 00:09:51,159
and that's play good, productive basketball. And I think as

130
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:58,000
fans we can I think as fans we can be

131
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:03,000
okay with that. Is the frustrating. Absolutely, it's been a

132
00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:07,960
goddamn nightmare. Uh but tonight is some good stuff. Yeah,

133
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,559
we're getting some good stuff in the chat. Is Zubots

134
00:10:10,639 --> 00:10:16,039
the problem, No, I it's Zubots doesn't have a big

135
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:21,279
enough role to be the problem for this team. I

136
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,799
do not think Zubots is the problem. I do not

137
00:10:23,919 --> 00:10:27,279
think the Clippers think Zubots is the problem. Brook Lopez

138
00:10:27,399 --> 00:10:32,320
was one of five. Yeah, it's just not like it's fine.

139
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,919
It was one game. There was some outlier stuff that

140
00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:42,159
happened yeah, what is this is kind of a hard

141
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,200
pivot the broadcast. I was watching it on Peacock. The

142
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,559
broadcast was bad. I thought the sideline reporter was bad

143
00:10:49,639 --> 00:10:55,120
for Peacock. He seemed very nervous. Maybe I'm nitpicking, Maybe

144
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,320
I'm riding too high for the Clippers win. But am

145
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,799
I wrong that it felt the production quality was very good,

146
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,720
but I thought the announcers were not as good as

147
00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:14,159
they should have been. I don't know, Maybe I'm nitpicking. Uh,

148
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:17,320
Zoo did go to Hall did Okay? So this is

149
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,759
a great point by x Banco project. Did Zoo go

150
00:11:19,799 --> 00:11:22,240
to Chris Paul's Halloween party? He did go to Chris

151
00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:26,360
Paul's Halloween party. And if we're looking at wacky outing,

152
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,159
watch which if you've been watching or listening to the pod,

153
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,519
you know that we've me has. I've been talking about

154
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,919
how the team needs kind of a wacky outing, and

155
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,879
they showed some clips from the Habitat for Humanity community

156
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,080
outreach the Clippers did, which is great. Looked like a

157
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,440
lot of good team building for the team. We're getting

158
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,879
We're getting to the wacky outing vibes, and I think

159
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:56,039
like a win like tonight after the holiday some kind

160
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:02,279
of goofy outing. I don't know. Yeah, Warblades saying, I

161
00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:06,120
think this was this nationally televised game, we didn't embarrass ourselves. Well,

162
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,559
was their eighth win, so I think that's a fair assumption.

163
00:12:10,039 --> 00:12:13,039
They look great tonight. Again, this was not This was

164
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,039
not the Clippers team that we've watched leading up to

165
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,879
this point. So that's hopefully we can tap into this

166
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:29,360
moving forward a little more. But yeah, again, outlier game,

167
00:12:29,799 --> 00:12:32,399
the three point shooting was absurd. They shot fifty four

168
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,360
percent from three. That is kind of the performance you

169
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,240
need when you look at what kind of team the

170
00:12:39,279 --> 00:12:42,799
Clippers are so far this year. But we will take it,

171
00:12:42,879 --> 00:12:45,799
is all I'm saying. If you're listening to this on audio,

172
00:12:46,159 --> 00:12:47,759
I'm going to put this up after we're done on

173
00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:52,320
the live in a couple of minutes. Someone in the

174
00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:54,759
chat saying, I probably didn't like the announcers because Reggie

175
00:12:54,759 --> 00:12:58,279
Miller was on color commentary. Even aside from that, Yes,

176
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,000
that was terrible. Even aside from that, it just felt

177
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:09,720
not very good. The Clippers get their eighth win before Christmas,

178
00:13:10,159 --> 00:13:14,799
let's go. They get the Trailblazers the day after Christmas.

179
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,720
I don't know what that game looks like. I don't

180
00:13:17,799 --> 00:13:24,279
know what the team's legs look like the day after Christmas.

181
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,720
We'll see. I'm riding incredibly high after this win. Jeremy

182
00:13:29,759 --> 00:13:33,679
Mormon saying fifty three and twenty one. Baby, Yep, the

183
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:43,919
streak starts now. Macy saying seventh straight. I don't know.

184
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,279
They had some good things to build on. The process

185
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:51,159
was nice. Yes, they shot an absurd percentage from three,

186
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:53,600
but there were some other good things that they can

187
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,159
put kind of a feather in their cap from for

188
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,960
this game. I don't think there's changing stuff for the

189
00:14:00,039 --> 00:14:03,039
trade deadline for the Clippers. I still think Lawrence Frank

190
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,200
probably makes a move. I don't think we see a

191
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,960
major move. But is that the right idea? Probably not.

192
00:14:10,159 --> 00:14:13,919
I don't know, but we'll see. I guess here's true

193
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,519
a great, great win. Excuse me, thanks for hanging out.

194
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,840
Hope everyone has a great and it's been having a

195
00:14:18,879 --> 00:14:24,080
great holiday season. Shout out to Kawhi and James Harden.

196
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,200
They were so good tonight. Everyone for the most part

197
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:32,240
again was great tonight. Weird win. We will take it. Hell, Yeah,

198
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,879
let's go clips. We'll see you next time. I think

199
00:14:33,879 --> 00:14:37,360
we're doing a full episode, probably over the weekend. Bye everybody,
