17
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:10,560
Someone said they blamed Chuck on the screen. Unfair, unfair.

18
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:13,599
It was a trap game.

19
00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:21,159
Speaker 2: They didn't even let him suit up. Could Adam was gone?

20
00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:24,359
Speaker 1: Adam and I talked about this. We said, could the

21
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,959
first game be a trap game? Yes, it can't no

22
00:01:29,239 --> 00:01:29,799
such thing.

23
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: There's no no expectation.

24
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: There's no expectation. I mean, it is game one, right,

25
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:46,879
play ball. We can all agree that it was incredibly disappointing. Yeah,

26
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,840
we can all say the least, say say what you

27
00:01:50,879 --> 00:01:54,079
want about the randomness of game one against a young

28
00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:57,200
team that has size and shooting that we've seen the

29
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,879
play the Clippers close with before. But the show up

30
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,319
factor was not there for the Clippers tonight, and.

31
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: That is I won't say that for Zue.

32
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, I think Zoo was the most inspiring of

33
00:02:15,479 --> 00:02:20,840
starting five, was our leading scorer. But yes, I agree,

34
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,800
it felt very laxadaisical. It felt like the kind of

35
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,639
thing that we've become accustomed to in this.

36
00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:32,599
Speaker 1: Era except year, which is why I think it's doubly

37
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,400
frustrating because they showed up and again the game one.

38
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,039
Speaker 3: I do think last year we saw a similar thing

39
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,759
to start the season. Uh Like it was a very

40
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,759
disappointing start to the season before they righted the ship.

41
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,120
Uh And this one, I mean, honestly, you asked me

42
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:54,240
what the takeaways were, and honestly, the biggest takeaway is

43
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,000
I still think brook Lopez is the most underrated acquisition

44
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,159
of the offseason. Uh, he was absolutely phenomenal in his

45
00:03:02,719 --> 00:03:05,360
u In his sub twenty minutes he.

46
00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:10,039
Speaker 1: Took eleven threes and seventeen minutes he took twelve shots total,

47
00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:15,319
which I think is a testament that's bad, that's not

48
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,400
what the game plan is.

49
00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: That's as many shots. I think he's Harden, isn't it.

50
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: That is as many field goals as Harden, and it

51
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,759
is three more than Kawhi Leonard, who was not good

52
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:29,879
in game one. Miles Johnson saying Zua's friend is on defense.

53
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,919
I will agree with that. It was arough. Maybe not

54
00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:37,000
to a t, but it was a rough defensive showing

55
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:40,319
early in this game we saw they lost. No.

56
00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 3: Two wasn't perfect, Yeah, and Zoo wasn't perfect. I wasn't

57
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,120
saying that by any means. I mean he like I

58
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,159
thought his rebounding was pretty soft. He let some slip

59
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,960
right through his fingers. But I thought that he did

60
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,080
bring like some sort of some energy and stuff that

61
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,639
was not present I didn't feel.

62
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: Like from the other four starters.

63
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: Yes, Uh, Kawhi marketing was their small forward. Marketing is gigantic.

64
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,919
He shoots threes, but he did whatever he kind of wanted,

65
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,520
especially in the first quarter. Oh yes, we're just kind

66
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,199
of putting some postgame quotes up here right now. Shout

67
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:21,040
out to Justin Rousseau for this quote. Tyler Loose, as

68
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,199
he walked out of the visiting press conference room, said,

69
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:28,439
I take responsibility for that bullshit. I guess, I don't know.

70
00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:32,160
I don't know who's It's so weird to have this

71
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,120
particular situation happen.

72
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 4: On game one, you know what I mean, Like and like,

73
00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:43,519
obviously it's not any It's not when you're trailing by

74
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,040
like forty, it's obviously not any one thing.

75
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 3: And I don't think the coach can take responsibility for that.

76
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:57,319
But really uninspiring, really uninspiring start to the season. Good lord,

77
00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:01,560
I've been excited for basketball. The restart from what feels

78
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,040
like a calendar were so.

79
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

80
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: Beale looked like he was still figuring it out. Defensively,

81
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,199
he was in foul trouble. Derek Jones was in foul trouble. Yeah,

82
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,519
Harden made two mid range buckets. That was that was nice,

83
00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:21,240
That was.

84
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: Good, needed that, we needed that.

85
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: The shooting was rough. Someone in the chat is saying

86
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,879
shooting yeah, couldn't make a damn shot. Thank you Jeremy Mormon.

87
00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:36,759
Eighty one and one. Maybe that's what I said. So

88
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:45,519
we go eighty one and one? Did this loss? What

89
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,319
do we take away from this loss? What can we

90
00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:50,399
take away from the first game of the season losing

91
00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:52,319
to a team that is projected to be so bad

92
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:56,120
in such a fashion? Is this team? Because this is

93
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,680
a young Jazz team, we were old tonight some nights

94
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,079
we're gonna have old nights for the Clippers, and we were.

95
00:06:03,959 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: Old to that this one.

96
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:08,399
Speaker 3: I mean, like the Jazz being projected to be the

97
00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:11,800
worst team in the league. Yes, and I mean obviously

98
00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:14,920
they're they're going to continue to seek a high draft pick.

99
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,000
But it's a little bit like college football season rankings

100
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,920
coming in, like it doesn't really mean anything. It's it's

101
00:06:21,959 --> 00:06:25,839
it's just based on reputation, and I think reputationally like

102
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,800
they looked, they looked a lot. The Jazz looked a

103
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,639
lot better than the Clippers did through one game. Do

104
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:35,360
I think that that means that that's gonna have any

105
00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:39,360
bearing on the ultimate effects of the outcome of the season. No,

106
00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:42,480
I'm not ready to say that after one game. But

107
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,639
this was this was the type of performance that you know,

108
00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:51,000
we've become sort of accustomed to as Clippers fans. I mean,

109
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,560
and it happens to all teams, but for this to

110
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,600
be the season opener and to just look this disjointed,

111
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,680
especially on the defensive end, I'm giving it up. What's

112
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:06,879
seventy five at the half? Seventy six at the half? Is?

113
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,600
I mean, that is just an unprecedented level of bad

114
00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:15,720
uh to start the season. And again, I don't you

115
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:20,240
can't overreact to one single game, but you know, we

116
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,759
we worried in the offseason. We worried in the offseason

117
00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:27,680
about this team maintaining that that sort of identity that

118
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,519
they had created last year. And I would say through

119
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,519
Game one, they fucking threw it out the window.

120
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: They pissed on it.

121
00:07:32,839 --> 00:07:36,319
Speaker 1: Miles Johnson in the chat, And if you're listening to this,

122
00:07:36,399 --> 00:07:38,160
because we're all gonna put this out on audio later

123
00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:41,240
and you want to watch us talk about this, you

124
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,600
can see my horrible beard, you can see Will's driving.

125
00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:47,199
It's YouTube dot colle at Clippers podcast.

126
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: Driving more radically.

127
00:07:48,759 --> 00:07:53,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, just to keep things into you know, Miles Johnson

128
00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:55,519
in the chat said, I think this in game Seve

129
00:07:55,519 --> 00:07:58,839
would be the last two games we've seen. It's just hurtful. Yeah,

130
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,480
it just because like we kind of thought it was

131
00:08:01,519 --> 00:08:03,839
a clean slate from what.

132
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:07,399
Speaker 2: The preseason means nothing to Yeah, we kind.

133
00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: Of thought it was a clean slate from what happened. Yeah,

134
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,920
Ad Will's birthday, which is what the Clippers do every year. Yeah. Yeah,

135
00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:20,120
a lot of shots were short, didn't have their regular

136
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,160
season legs under him. We guess, like.

137
00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:27,439
Speaker 3: I don't know, is that is everybody planning on playing

138
00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:28,480
their way into shape.

139
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: John Collins look good off the bench. I like seeing

140
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,279
John's college energy off the bench.

141
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 2: Jere Jean Junior has some has some good energy too.

142
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: I mean he's got some paths, you know, one of

143
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,000
those athletic guys, young.

144
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:50,639
Speaker 5: Ish Yeah, I mean, I don't know, just a bummer,

145
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,399
just a genuine bumber and shout out.

146
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: Also, we have to tip our hats to the Jazz.

147
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,679
They played good back. Yeah, the Clippers didn't. The other

148
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,679
thing that I think that's frustrating is the Clippers didn't

149
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,600
piss this one away. It was just never there to

150
00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:09,720
begin with, Like from the first.

151
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:11,799
Speaker 2: Order, it never started.

152
00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: It started a little rough and you're like okay, and

153
00:09:14,759 --> 00:09:20,919
then it just got bad. I like this point from

154
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,840
crime side. We need everyone to underestimate us, miss and accomplishment,

155
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,840
I said on an episode with Adam, I was tired

156
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:30,200
of how many people were like, look, key, I think

157
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,679
the Clippers are going to be a fun team to

158
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,600
watch this year. It's like, you can't get away, get

159
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,399
away from us.

160
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 3: No, even, I mean, honestly even like the line in

161
00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:43,559
Vegas on the win over under total, I mean I

162
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,240
liked it, but at the same time, I you know,

163
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,039
I want us to be rooted out.

164
00:09:52,919 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this puts a weird a different pre sure

165
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,440
if you also want to pause and go into your house,

166
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,159
that's the only point.

167
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,919
Speaker 3: No, I'm at the drive to right now. I'm gonna

168
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,879
eat this. I'm getting I'm getting some taco bell long line.

169
00:10:12,919 --> 00:10:14,240
I was gonna say, you haven't moved.

170
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: What are you getting one? We'll get back to the

171
00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:18,960
basketball in a second. What are you getting a taco bell?

172
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,120
Put your taco Bell order in the chat with what

173
00:10:21,159 --> 00:10:23,960
you would order after this horrible loss.

174
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 3: I'm sticking to my irregular I go bean burrito, two

175
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:35,399
soft potato tacos, a lot of fire sauce. Maybe I'll

176
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,639
maybe I'll just add on a bunch of ship though,

177
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,399
is just really eat through this one.

178
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,879
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fair, I should have done that. I'm gonna

179
00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:43,960
make some tiktos a little bit.

180
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 3: Uh.

181
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: This puts a weird vibe on the home opener.

182
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 2: Oh, it absolutely does.

183
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: Against a team that has spoiled things before. I don't

184
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,879
think the Clippers will lose on Friday. To be fair,

185
00:10:59,879 --> 00:11:07,639
I don't think they would lose tonight. Chris gia is saying,

186
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:10,559
you're getting your next dip show for the next episode.

187
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,559
You missed the last dip episode, Dude, we were bummed.

188
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:20,159
It's okay. I personally Will's muted because he's ordering Taco

189
00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:24,039
Bell right now. I just from the fan of the

190
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,320
team perspective, would agree with the it's hurtful situation. It

191
00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:30,159
just sucks to watch the that's just a gut bunch

192
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:36,039
right like h And again, there's obviously there are eighty

193
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,720
one more games to go. They have a chance to

194
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:45,600
they have a chance to redeem themselves on Friday, and

195
00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:48,399
we hope that what we heard about in the off

196
00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:53,320
season materializes. A lot of people in the chatter saying

197
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,639
they don't want to eat Taco Bell right now, Shelley anonymous,

198
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:02,120
which I think I might know who this is. That's fine.

199
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,120
Pepto Bisball is also a completely fair response to this game.

200
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,879
No one would knock you for that. If you were

201
00:12:07,879 --> 00:12:10,120
at the postgame party with a thing at Pepto Bisball,

202
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,320
people would say, I got two bucks on it. Give

203
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,960
me a pull for two bucks. Just a weird game that.

204
00:12:19,039 --> 00:12:22,440
I don't know what you can take away from other

205
00:12:22,519 --> 00:12:27,120
than everything needs to be different Neck on Friday.

206
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, do everything better. Would be a completely different

207
00:12:32,799 --> 00:12:34,240
team than what we saw at the night.

208
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: Which just doesn't feel for a team of veterans. Will

209
00:12:41,799 --> 00:12:43,159
go ahead and mute, don't want to. I don't want

210
00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:49,200
to mess up the transaction for a team of veterans

211
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,080
who have played a handful of opening nights, you would

212
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:58,679
just think, hey, they know what's going on, or just

213
00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:00,320
be locked in a little like, well, is it a

214
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,639
game plan thing? I don't know, man. Like what someone

215
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,480
said a funny comment on Twitter and they said that

216
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:13,279
Tyler always underestimates small market teams, and I thought that

217
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,559
would be funny if he was like, if you got

218
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:21,240
a population under X amount million, I'm not I don't

219
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:28,039
give a shit, right, So d flu is it? D

220
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,679
Flu said, I usually have a lot of shit to say,

221
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,240
but tonight nothing. That's kind of how I feel is

222
00:13:36,279 --> 00:13:39,879
I'm just like usually I have a lot more things

223
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,679
in my head about the game, but it's just like, Okay,

224
00:13:44,799 --> 00:13:47,360
that was horrible. I hope we can bounce back on

225
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,559
Friday and do what we're supposed to do, which is

226
00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:55,120
play good defense. We started Derek Jones juniors and the

227
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,240
defense would be good, but no one was good at

228
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,159
defense to start this game. Bill losses a side in

229
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,960
a couple of times. He swiped it guys a couple

230
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,159
of times. He wasn't the whole problem, obviously, but that

231
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,799
was just kind of frustrating. It also seems like Beale's

232
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:12,840
minutes restriction is around twenty minutes, which I think is fine.

233
00:14:14,799 --> 00:14:18,200
The turnovers were brutal. Nine turnovers in the first quarter,

234
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,399
I think, and like turnovers, turnovers in any way you

235
00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:25,240
could have a turnover.

236
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: Like, oh yeah, they really had the full menu.

237
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 3: They had like a Midwest what was the final what

238
00:14:32,159 --> 00:14:33,720
was the final turnover count.

239
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: On this one? They had a Midwestern cookbook called one

240
00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:41,720
Thousand Ways to Do a Turnover. It's a pretty good cooking,

241
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:51,559
pretty good cooking jack. Final tally on turnovers fifteen, Okay,

242
00:14:51,799 --> 00:14:55,519
but the majority of them happened in the first quarter,

243
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,120
and it was lazy passes, as Jeremy Moore want to say.

244
00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:01,840
And it was just like.

245
00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:04,639
Speaker 2: Not a lot of heat on those paths.

246
00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: Not a lot of heat, no heat. If you or

247
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,840
I could have caught one of the passes, maybe that's

248
00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:16,519
not a fast enough pass. I have been him. It's

249
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:22,080
like it did feel like Utah couldn't miss a shot.

250
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,320
They I mean, if.

251
00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:26,639
Speaker 2: It's if it's not smashing through my hands and breaking.

252
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:34,519
Speaker 1: My fucking glasses. Walker Kessler all of last year, the

253
00:15:34,559 --> 00:15:39,840
whole year last year, made six three pointers. He shot

254
00:15:39,879 --> 00:15:44,799
eighteen percent from three. Tonight he goes two for two. Goofy.

255
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,159
Weird thing to happen. It happened in the first quarter.

256
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,759
So it was yeah, but and it was part of

257
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,879
the swell of just like, oh great, this weird anomaly

258
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,840
happens in the beginning when we're still apparently getting our

259
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,000
under us. It adds to the fact that everyone else

260
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,000
was hitting too. It was like a perfect storm of

261
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,840
just shit. Yeah, it wasn't just one guy going off.

262
00:16:11,879 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: I mean we talked about like how uh sphee even

263
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,960
like what like he looked great out there, and not

264
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,879
that he's a bad player or anything, but like it

265
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,720
speaks to the defense not really putting that much pressure

266
00:16:23,759 --> 00:16:25,799
on guys or not making them.

267
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,799
Speaker 2: Feel uncomfortable or out of their element at all.

268
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 3: And yes, they were at home, so you know everyone's

269
00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:35,840
getting a big soda thet night or whatever. Uh.

270
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: Crime side ring up a good point, And Adam and

271
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,320
I talked about this on the pregame a little bit.

272
00:16:40,519 --> 00:16:45,039
Is like they're huge, they shrunk the floor. Uh yeah,

273
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:53,960
and our guys aren't guys that have speed. H Like

274
00:16:54,039 --> 00:16:56,840
that's not because I was wondering when the Clippers were

275
00:16:56,879 --> 00:17:00,159
down ten in the first when I guess things were

276
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,440
going good considering now the rest of the game went

277
00:17:02,519 --> 00:17:07,119
after that, I was like, what does this team's offense

278
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,640
look like when it needs to speed up? For the Clippers?

279
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,000
What right? Yeah, with these older guys, it's like, what

280
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,759
does this offense look like when they're like, we gotta

281
00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:19,119
get some quick buckets because that is completely dependent on

282
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,240
the defense, not to you know what I mean, but

283
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,680
like and if the defense is not getting stops, I

284
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:30,200
don't have a lot of faith in the offense. I'm

285
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,160
not projecting what the Clippers record is going to be

286
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,880
or anything like that. I'm just saying that's what I

287
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,119
was thinking watching this particular game.

288
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 3: I mean, that was a huge thing, and it was

289
00:17:39,519 --> 00:17:43,519
you know, how they would get started offensively, even when

290
00:17:43,519 --> 00:17:45,039
they were abysmal.

291
00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: In games last season.

292
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 3: But you know, again, it's game one, so I don't

293
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,200
want to take too much away defensively from that, not

294
00:17:54,279 --> 00:17:56,720
that there's much to take away from that one at all.

295
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,000
I'm curious though, Like I mean, I think we both

296
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,480
agree that the starters.

297
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 2: Like that.

298
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 3: I don't want to say apathetic, because I don't think

299
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,240
that's the right word, but they felt a little anemic

300
00:18:08,319 --> 00:18:11,440
out there. Yeah, what did you think of the second

301
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,519
Were there any parents that you liked out there? I mean,

302
00:18:16,759 --> 00:18:19,119
I'm gonna jump the gun and I'm gonna say I'm

303
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,759
still gonna love any time Derrick Jones, Junior, and Collins

304
00:18:22,759 --> 00:18:26,000
are on the floor together with Brooke and.

305
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: Whoever else around them.

306
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 2: I'm excited to watch that group play against second units.

307
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I was kind of disgusted by the

308
00:18:36,759 --> 00:18:38,839
whole thing, So I don't know if anything really stuck

309
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,079
out to me, If that makes sense, I understand. I

310
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,880
just wanted to. I was really looking forward to seeing

311
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,880
Chris Paul and brook Lopez. I mean, brook Lopez was

312
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,839
great obviously, but again, he's not taking eleven threes in

313
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,359
the game, so like we didn't even get to see

314
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:01,279
how I think the bench offense would function normally. Yeah,

315
00:19:01,319 --> 00:19:04,839
save like the first couple of minutes they were together.

316
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,920
But I dude, Collins off the bench was awesome, Like

317
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,640
his effort was there, like he's gonna be him and

318
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,039
brook Lopez. Maybe they do split six Man of the

319
00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:21,720
Year votes or whatever, But like, I love Collins off

320
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,599
the bench and Collins energy off the bench. But Tom

321
00:19:24,759 --> 00:19:27,440
hit Collins with like a like a handoff in transition

322
00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:29,640
I think for his like second or third bucket, and

323
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,079
it was just such a nice, like veteran guy making

324
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,000
a veteran move to a guy who like expected I

325
00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:41,680
think at the last second. So I think Collins Collins

326
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,640
on the bench is real. I think Collins with any

327
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,680
of the vets on the bench is gonna be awesome.

328
00:19:46,559 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, are we counting Collins as a VET? I feel

329
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:50,920
like he.

330
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: Kind of have to not on this team. How old

331
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:54,440
is he?

332
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: All right? Fair? Not on this team.

333
00:19:56,839 --> 00:20:02,279
Speaker 1: Good lord, he's twenty eight. That's young.

334
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's been in the lead for like a decade.

335
00:20:05,079 --> 00:20:09,839
Speaker 1: He's been in the league for nineteen years. Miles Johnson

336
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,880
brought up a point with Zoo. Yeah, the Jazz I

337
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,759
think in the first quarter they made Yeah, they made

338
00:20:16,759 --> 00:20:19,720
all of their two pointers. So when Zoo gets I

339
00:20:19,759 --> 00:20:22,759
don't know, man, it's just like shit was just broken everywhere.

340
00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:27,000
You're right, Miles, when you pull Zoo away from the rim,

341
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,480
if other guys aren't doing what they're supposed to do,

342
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,720
it's just like and that goes to Kawhi's point too,

343
00:20:32,759 --> 00:20:36,599
because Kawhi again was not good in this game. No,

344
00:20:37,599 --> 00:20:40,200
Harden only had two turnovers, so we can't really fault

345
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,720
the turnovers. The shooting wasn't there from Harden from the outside.

346
00:20:44,079 --> 00:20:48,000
He wasn't particularly efficient. I think he was overall he

347
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:54,079
was facilitating, right, Yeah, he was facilitating phenomenally. But again,

348
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,200
it's just like looked a.

349
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,039
Speaker 2: Little old movement wise, I thought.

350
00:20:57,039 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 3: But like, you know, he saves his way into shape,

351
00:20:59,559 --> 00:21:01,440
he's gonna have to play as way into shape and

352
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,079
that's fine.

353
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,319
Speaker 1: And we are an older team, so like this is

354
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:11,039
what this is the reality of the older team. Is

355
00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:13,119
that like we're gonna play our way into shape, Like

356
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,799
these guys aren't young coming into the coming into the

357
00:21:16,839 --> 00:21:20,799
season feeling good. When you're a young guy in the NBA,

358
00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:23,119
is I'm ready to play in mid season? For him?

359
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,039
From day one, coming into when you're an old guy

360
00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:30,079
in the NBA, is I'm excited for a productive ramp

361
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,039
up process.

362
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean I don't know, like before before

363
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:45,480
they start doing stuff to alter their pickstanding, I think

364
00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:47,720
you want to show get out there and show what

365
00:21:47,759 --> 00:21:51,640
you can do. And one, yeah, get out there and

366
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,279
show what you can do, and like, you know, stack

367
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,119
of a couple of wins before you know, those mystery

368
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:01,480
whatever marketing for Yeah, start keeping out of games and stuff,

369
00:22:01,799 --> 00:22:03,799
because that's gonna be frustrating as hell too.

370
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 2: And just coming in, you know, projected to be.

371
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,279
Speaker 3: The worst team in the league. I mean, I mean,

372
00:22:08,319 --> 00:22:10,039
you want to kind of put a stamp on it, right,

373
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:19,119
We certainly did. They certainly did. All Right, what's one

374
00:22:19,319 --> 00:22:22,240
bad thing from this game that you're worried about for

375
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,400
Friday and one good thing that you're excited for on Friday.

376
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,839
Speaker 1: One bad thing I'm worried about is the turnovers. Yeah, yeah,

377
00:22:30,839 --> 00:22:35,640
I don't want him to come in bunches. That would

378
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,920
be ideal, Yeah, would not be ideal on Friday in

379
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,079
the first is that ideal? The Suns starting line up

380
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:50,759
because Jalen Green, I think, is out, So their starting

381
00:22:50,839 --> 00:22:55,119
lineup might be hold on, I swear I have notes

382
00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:01,559
on this. I want I just want to see Zoo

383
00:23:01,599 --> 00:23:05,559
and Harden look good. Yeah, like I want them to

384
00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:10,559
be productive together. You know what I'm saying? What's Yeah,

385
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,599
what's a bad thing? You're worried about it?

386
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,559
Speaker 3: Man, I don't want to lose the fucking Sons at

387
00:23:15,599 --> 00:23:18,440
home on our first thing. And I know that's like

388
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,119
a very broad general.

389
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: You don't want to see that.

390
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,279
Speaker 1: So here's their starting five. Their starting five is going

391
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,200
to be I think Devin Booker, Grayson Allen, Dylan Brooks,

392
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,960
Ryan Dunn, Mark Williams. Apparently the Jazz are the best

393
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,039
team in the NBA. Right They're probably gonna win like

394
00:23:44,079 --> 00:23:49,480
sixty five games, seventy seventy seventy six games. A chap

395
00:23:50,799 --> 00:23:53,480
but fear, but again, this is also a team. The

396
00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:55,920
Sons are a team that's been projected to be not good.

397
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:03,279
They handled us last year in the regular season. This

398
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,359
is another game where it's like we don't know what's

399
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:15,200
going to happen. We know what statistically probably should happen. Uh,

400
00:24:15,279 --> 00:24:17,359
but I don't know. I want to see Christine be

401
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,519
good at defense. I want to see him put point

402
00:24:20,559 --> 00:24:22,519
Devin Booker in hell, because they don't have a point

403
00:24:22,519 --> 00:24:26,559
guard really on the suns. That's the other things, like

404
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,519
we're facing a team that is trying to do what

405
00:24:29,559 --> 00:24:31,400
the Clippers did with Paul George. When we were all like,

406
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,680
I don't know if we need a point guard, then

407
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,279
it was like he sucks at facilitating, Like.

408
00:24:36,279 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 2: You need a point guard.

409
00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:39,599
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just see the point guard. I was wrong

410
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:40,160
about that.

411
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 2: I was wrong too. We were wrong. We boozled, We

412
00:24:44,519 --> 00:24:46,200
got caught up in the moment.

413
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: In the moment, all right, you gotta take your taco

414
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:55,160
bell inside. Yeah, man, all right, I can van for

415
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,720
a bit if you want to hop back on. But

416
00:24:57,759 --> 00:24:58,720
if not, I understand.

417
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,599
Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, I'm gonna go eat My feelings from

418
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,960
this game. The thing I'm looking forward to though, is more.

419
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:12,359
Is definitely more, brook Lopez. That was my biggest takeaway

420
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:12,960
from this one.

421
00:25:13,319 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 2: I'm loving it. I can't wait to see more.

422
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: Of that.

423
00:25:15,759 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 3: I also think Bradley Beal is gonna is gonna have

424
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:25,160
some some added impetus. Yeah, he's gonna have some added

425
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,160
impetus to pour it on him as one. Although two

426
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,359
for five, I mean it's really nothing to stoff about.

427
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,519
That's like not that's not that bad. The one for

428
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:36,400
four from three, I guess would be concerned. But eat anyway,

429
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,839
even that, it's kind of like you make one extra three,

430
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,240
it's a completely different ball It's a completely.

431
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,559
Speaker 2: Well, a completely different ballgame. Frankly, they're right in at

432
00:25:44,599 --> 00:25:45,079
that point.

433
00:25:45,839 --> 00:25:47,759
Speaker 3: I kept waiting for the like someone to hit a

434
00:25:47,759 --> 00:25:49,720
big three to cut the lead the thirty, so we

435
00:25:49,759 --> 00:25:51,440
get those classic moments.

436
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 2: But yeah, shit game to start out.

437
00:25:54,839 --> 00:25:57,519
Speaker 3: But I will say, I can only go up from here,

438
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,079
you know, can't get anywhere.

439
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: That's a great call.

440
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 2: We hope, we hope.

441
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,519
Speaker 1: For sure, I'm gonna get out of here once I

442
00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:11,200
finish this drink. Will thank you for thanks for watching

443
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,640
that game. Man, here's to a better game too.

444
00:26:14,279 --> 00:26:16,599
Speaker 3: Yes, thanks listeners and viewers for bearing with me in

445
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,720
my card. You know how to get some card, dude,

446
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,359
how to get some how to get some sustenance after

447
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,799
this one. But yeah, we will. We'll be back at

448
00:26:26,839 --> 00:26:29,680
you and we will be in house on Friday.

449
00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:32,079
Speaker 1: Yes, we'll do it, all right, talk to you later,

450
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,920
all right. Will's gone, Adam might pop in. I don't

451
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,039
have too much else to say. Everyone was kind of

452
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,400
bad again. I know that Brook Lopez went five for

453
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,680
eleven from three. I don't think the game plan is

454
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,359
going to dictate him ever needing to take eleven threes.

455
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,680
The good takeaways, as kind of Will pointed out, John

456
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:02,440
Collins looked good. Zoo was trying hard down there. The

457
00:27:02,519 --> 00:27:07,720
shot distribution was so wonky in this game because things

458
00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:09,839
were just so off the rails. And I don't even

459
00:27:09,839 --> 00:27:15,319
really know what the offensive profile is for this team.

460
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,000
X Bogo Projects saying we're used to seeing someone pot

461
00:27:18,039 --> 00:27:20,880
in the car. Yes, thank you, that's how things go,

462
00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:23,880
not me. I've never potted from the car. It's always

463
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:29,200
this also a shout out to Eric bul Ol. Wtf

464
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:35,759
Eric on Instagram and on Twitter follow him for Clippers art.

465
00:27:36,079 --> 00:27:38,000
I believe he should be sending us a new desktop

466
00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:43,200
background soon. I'm about to head out. Put your final

467
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,359
thoughts on this chat, because once this is gone, I'm

468
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:52,079
leaving hell of a way to start the season. I

469
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:57,240
personally blame the refs. No, I'm just kidding. That was brutal.

470
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,079
Everyone needs to show up and kind of be the

471
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,359
complete opposite of the kind of player they were tonight.

472
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:08,680
Except for Zoo and John Collins. Harden was dealing the assist.

473
00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:14,200
But why was bad Bradley Beal still getting his legs

474
00:28:14,279 --> 00:28:18,079
under My guess, Derek Jones Junior, It's just it's just

475
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,079
a weird, weird night tonight. Shout out to the Jazz

476
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:25,480
for playing a hard fought game. Friday is now going

477
00:28:25,559 --> 00:28:28,799
to be difficult. I don't know what to say. I

478
00:28:28,839 --> 00:28:34,599
don't expect the Clippers to trounce the Suns. This game

479
00:28:34,759 --> 00:28:37,599
hopefully will not matter in the long run. It might,

480
00:28:39,559 --> 00:28:45,720
it might, which is Unfortunateuh, the schedule was set up

481
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,279
for the Clippers to kind of take advantage of a

482
00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:54,279
softer start. Oh for one of that right now, Friday's

483
00:28:54,279 --> 00:28:57,599
not of must win because it's the second game. That

484
00:28:57,759 --> 00:29:00,519
being said, who it would be nice to win that

485
00:29:00,599 --> 00:29:05,640
game on Friday. Everyone, Thank you for hanging out. If

486

has a good rest of your night. It is the

492
00:29:33,039 --> 00:29:38,319
first game, as Leah Prince is saying in here, Uh yeah,

493
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,319
first game, zero to one, plenty of chances to bounce back.

494
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,680
We'll be back with you after the game on Friday.

495
