Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans welcome to an incredibly
impromptu clips and did postgame hang. The Clippers beat the
Rockets by twenty one twenty eight to one h eight,
a result that I don't think a lot of us
were expecting. Well, we welcome it because there's no reason
to not win games. But what what an incredible uh
Holiday week performance from the Clips Cowhigo's for forty one,
James Harden overcomes a slow start to go for twenty
nine points. We got thirteen from Kobe Sanders. We got
a lot of good performances. The Clippers didn't turn the
ball over for the most part. They shot. They shot
fifty four from three. It was absurd from outside. They
won turnovers, They got killed in offensive rebounds, but that
somehow didn't matter. I don't know what this game means
about the rest of the season at all, but it
feels good. We can't we can't pretend that it doesn't
feel good to get this win. Yeah, the Rockets are
for sure in a tailspin. I think. So that's what
was fun tonight is that we got to be a
trap game. The Clippers Will talked about it last week.
He was like, when do we get to be a
trap game. We're a trap game now. That's just what
we are. Zoo Bots was out. This is the definition
of a trap game. We are that team now and
that means that we're playing inspired and annoying basketball, which
I think is a good thing. Chunk was on the
last live stream. They're back already. This is so funny.
What a great uh, what a great way to go
into a into the Christmas holiday. Zero doubts given, of course.
Now this team, like this was a completely different looking
team than we'd seen all year tonight from the Clippers.
The defensive intensity was great, kind of from top to bottom.
Kawhi Leonard also, we can't I'm sorry, I don't mean
a gloss over the fact that Kawhi had forty one
on seventy shooting tonight. Kawhi got whatever he wanted. It
was fantastic. We got free chicken, which is great. This
was This was as good as tonight could have possibly gone,
and I think that's wonderful. James Harden did a lot
of damage to the line, which is the kind of
thing you need in a game against a team like
the Rockets. When you're a team like the current Clippers are.
We love to see it. What an insane game. I
don't know. Again, I don't know what this indicates for
the future, but any good things to build on will
take it. I don't think this changes the possibility of
a move being made. Lawrence Frank loves trades. We know that. Yeah, exactly. Yeah,
this means that Zoo is no longer needed. Uh No,
that's crazy, Joseph French. For the record, I think you're joking.
The center play was bad tonight. We can't talk about that.
Brook Web that very good. I did like what Tyler
did where he made absolutely sure that Yanick was not
going to go against Steven Adams because that would have
been that would not have been good for Yanick. So
I like that move by TYLERU we saw small ball,
which was interesting. Hats off to Chris Dunn, who continues
to have a great three point shooting year. He's a
thirty eight percent. There's three of seven to night, which
is awesome. Yeah. I don't know, this is just it's
just nice to get this kind of win. This was
the best game the Clippers have played all year. I
don't think, which sucks that Zoo wasn't there for it,
But in terms of what is happening in the season
and how things have gone, I think this is this
is the best that they've played to put up one
hundred and twenty eight points against this Rockets team. It's
pretty impressive and it took some outlier performances. I'm not
going to pretend this is the norm. I'm not going
to do that, but it again, it does feel good.
Raymond is here to overreact. Yeah, send me your player
of the game, Kawhi or James Harden. Again, Kawhi was fantastic, huge,
Only eight turnovers. That's close to the fewest all year
for the Clips. It's funny what happens when they don't
turn the ball over. Crazy Again, we got lucky on
the offensive boards. There is a weird thing with Durant
on the Rocket right, Like it's just they're still figuring
it out. I mean, they're still a very good basketball team.
But shot okay, inspired effort from the Clips. Just take
the win, Like, let's just take the win. Yeah, I
looked really good. This was the best that Kawi looked
all here. Stempe is worried about Bogie's production. Yeah, both
is not having a good year. I think the injury
have really taken a toll on Bogie. He hasn't been good,
so I understand. I share the fear about his production.
I feel that unfortunately it sucks, but it's just not there.
Shout out Kobe Sanders man made good decisions for the
most part, zero turnovers, Like he can make things happens.
It's real. He has the trust of the coaching staff
right like Ty is playing Kobe Sanders he has more
trust than any of the other young guys on the team.
Cam Christy, Jordan Miller, Kobe Brown all played garbage time tonight,
and Kobe Sanders, off rip of him being in the league,
had more trust than those other guys. So awesome to
see from Kobe Sanders had. In the pregame, Adam and
I talked about wanting to see a good game from Yanick.
Yanick did not have a good game. It's a tough opponent,
so I'm not like incredibly discouraged, but it was not
an incredibly strong performance from Yanick. That's fine. Hopefully it's
better next time. We'll see Raymond saying, am I drinking year?
But mate, I'm drinking a Guinness. Yeah. Bogie's three. What
is he shooting this year, shooting thirty four. Yeah, it's
not where you wanted to be. Fair, fair to be
disappointed by that. Yeah, Kobe's defense. I think Kobe is
just showing that he's learning how to play professional basketball
very well. He's learning well. I'm not saying he's very
good or anything like that yet, but I just like what.
I like what he's bringing in the team. Everyone does.
It's awesome. And thirteen points in a game where you
win by twenty, we'll take it. You don't beat the
Rockets by twenty without kind of an outlier Kobe Sanders game,
which will obviously take like it's a it's a weird.
It's such a weird win xbogo project defending Bogey saying
he likes the Bogey minutes. There's ball movement. Yeah, he
can move the ball, but ultimately he's there to score, right,
Like he he can't shoot thirty four percent from three, Like,
it's not the main thing he's there to do is
to score. But hats off to pretty much everyone tonight.
Kuhi eight boards, that's how you know he's engaged. Just
good shit, just a yeah, I hope this was I
hope this was someone's first time watching the Clippers tonight,
and they went, how do they only have eight wins?
Because this did not look like an eight win team.
Effort defense, take the shooting outlier out of it, take
the shooting outlier out of it. Everything else looked like
a team that was engaged and still wanted to win
and play good basketball, which I think is great. I'm
not saying they win if you. I'm not saying like,
just look at it through that lens of like, this
team still very much has something that they want to do,
and that's play good, productive basketball. And I think as
fans we can I think as fans we can be
okay with that. Is the frustrating. Absolutely, it's been a
goddamn nightmare. Uh but tonight is some good stuff. Yeah,
we're getting some good stuff in the chat. Is Zubots
the problem, No, I it's Zubots doesn't have a big
enough role to be the problem for this team. I
do not think Zubots is the problem. I do not
think the Clippers think Zubots is the problem. Brook Lopez
was one of five. Yeah, it's just not like it's fine.
It was one game. There was some outlier stuff that
happened yeah, what is this is kind of a hard
pivot the broadcast. I was watching it on Peacock. The
broadcast was bad. I thought the sideline reporter was bad
for Peacock. He seemed very nervous. Maybe I'm nitpicking, Maybe
I'm riding too high for the Clippers win. But am
I wrong that it felt the production quality was very good,
but I thought the announcers were not as good as
they should have been. I don't know, Maybe I'm nitpicking. Uh,
Zoo did go to Hall did Okay? So this is
a great point by x Banco project. Did Zoo go
to Chris Paul's Halloween party? He did go to Chris
Paul's Halloween party. And if we're looking at wacky outing,
watch which if you've been watching or listening to the pod,
you know that we've me has. I've been talking about
how the team needs kind of a wacky outing, and
they showed some clips from the Habitat for Humanity community
outreach the Clippers did, which is great. Looked like a
lot of good team building for the team. We're getting
We're getting to the wacky outing vibes, and I think
like a win like tonight after the holiday some kind
of goofy outing. I don't know. Yeah, Warblades saying, I
think this was this nationally televised game, we didn't embarrass ourselves. Well,
was their eighth win, so I think that's a fair assumption.
They look great tonight. Again, this was not This was
not the Clippers team that we've watched leading up to
this point. So that's hopefully we can tap into this
moving forward a little more. But yeah, again, outlier game,
the three point shooting was absurd. They shot fifty four
percent from three. That is kind of the performance you
need when you look at what kind of team the
Clippers are so far this year. But we will take it,
is all I'm saying. If you're listening to this on audio,
I'm going to put this up after we're done on
the live in a couple of minutes. Someone in the
chat saying, I probably didn't like the announcers because Reggie
Miller was on color commentary. Even aside from that, Yes,
that was terrible. Even aside from that, it just felt
not very good. The Clippers get their eighth win before Christmas,
let's go. They get the Trailblazers the day after Christmas.
I don't know what that game looks like. I don't
know what the team's legs look like the day after Christmas.
We'll see. I'm riding incredibly high after this win. Jeremy
Mormon saying fifty three and twenty one. Baby, Yep, the
streak starts now. Macy saying seventh straight. I don't know.
They had some good things to build on. The process
was nice. Yes, they shot an absurd percentage from three,
but there were some other good things that they can
put kind of a feather in their cap from for
this game. I don't think there's changing stuff for the
trade deadline for the Clippers. I still think Lawrence Frank
probably makes a move. I don't think we see a
major move. But is that the right idea? Probably not.
I don't know, but we'll see. I guess here's true
a great, great win. Excuse me, thanks for hanging out.
Hope everyone has a great and it's been having a
great holiday season. Shout out to Kawhi and James Harden.
They were so good tonight. Everyone for the most part
again was great tonight. Weird win. We will take it. Hell, Yeah,
let's go clips. We'll see you next time. I think
we're doing a full episode, probably over the weekend. Bye everybody,
