1
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: What's going on, Clippers fans? How is everybody doing? I

2
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,320
am Chuck Buckler, joined by Adam Oson and William of

3
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,800
Like we are Clips and Dippe. We have a weird

4
00:00:21,839 --> 00:00:26,079
background situation. Sorry about that. We're in hell, everybody. We

5
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,879
are doing a live stream happy hour hang here at

6
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,960
YouTube dot com. Clip.

7
00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: I can't help that's hell, hell or Utah, but I

8
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,119
guess it's the same same thing.

9
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:38,399
Speaker 3: Man.

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: It could be the Beehive State, it could be whatever

11
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:41,960
we want it to be.

12
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,399
Speaker 2: No, we're in the redwoods in Yosemite.

13
00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: This is beautiful, this is gorgeous. We love it. People

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,399
are not People are not falling to their doom. This

15
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,240
is not what it feels like to watch the Clippers lately.

16
00:00:57,479 --> 00:00:59,200
All right, let me get it. I'll get it back.

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:05,000
Thank you for adultging my bit. Okay, we got it back. Hi.

18
00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:07,959
How Adam? How you doing?

19
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, man. People were upset. People were really

20
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,120
upset last night, getting mad at me for like, well

21
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:20,120
funding out how much we all love the off season.

22
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: Adam and the team accountable that we haven't talked about

23
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,920
your your hand in this four and eleven record.

24
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 4: No.

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,079
Speaker 2: People were saying, fire me, you know what, it'll turn

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:33,640
things around.

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: Guys.

28
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: I'm willing to sacrifice myself. I'll jump off that clip

29
00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:36,959
we just saw.

30
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: There we go. Alex Webb is confident that we're going

31
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,319
to get the brunch win tomorrow. Great.

32
00:01:43,159 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: The Clippers love to do win those early games.

33
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: We love winning those early games. Will How are you

34
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:51,920
feeling you in good spirits?

35
00:01:52,239 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm great, I'm great, and this is acceptance I think.

36
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think.

37
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 3: I'm at the acceptance stage.

38
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,959
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think what helped me get to the acceptance

39
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:11,120
stage was this quote from a post game from Suggs

40
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,919
that said they played a little slower. Just knowing that.

41
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,560
James Harden that's part of their identity, it's playing slow.

42
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,599
Went on to say, I just think it's kind of

43
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,080
hard to maintain when you got older, guys, giving the

44
00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:24,159
league is evolving at such a rapid pace. Kind of

45
00:02:24,159 --> 00:02:26,439
what Adam to your point, you talked about the pace

46
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:29,039
a week or so ago feels like years ago.

47
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, pass them by.

48
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,319
Speaker 1: It's just literally and figuratively seemingly.

49
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: Want transition points. That's a lot of getting passed by.

50
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: Yes, they're one and three on the road trip. James

51
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:53,199
Harden continues, to just be the entire thing.

52
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:54,479
Speaker 3: Get him some.

53
00:02:54,479 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: Help, get him some help. Yeah, we do, Ben, come on,

54
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,080
and that's the other part. I thought we had help.

55
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,039
Speaker 3: One would think it's all bad.

56
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody's playing well enough outside of James Harden. Really,

57
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:16,080
I can't.

58
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,319
Speaker 3: Believe brook Lopez has the second most main three is

59
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:20,719
on this team. That's fucking ridiculous.

60
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,319
Speaker 1: That made my head hurt when I saw that earlier.

61
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,879
But Toomb's third, which no disrespect to Batomb, but we

62
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,919
have got time right.

63
00:03:32,719 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: He's not exactly a high volume with it, like Bogie

64
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:39,479
needs to be better. He was bad yesterday. Uh CP

65
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:44,599
three was bad yesterday. So many guys, John Collins A

66
00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:48,080
get him into the starting line of I'll fix everything

67
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,039
making one night. It's just so much going wrong at once.

68
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: It might be point nine.

69
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,319
Speaker 2: Honestly, I will give Orlando's gonna end up like a

70
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,840
top four in the Eastern Conference. Like they're they're a

71
00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:06,639
good team. And coach lu said postgame, like, yeah, they're

72
00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:13,800
better than us. It's no, no, no, I'm just saying

73
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:16,720
yesterday's game, it's like, yeah, I could see that one

74
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:21,720
getting out of hand. You get blown out by Charlotte, though, tomorrow. Now,

75
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:27,160
I like, is everybody okay or our jobs intact? I

76
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:30,399
don't know. That would be really really concerning.

77
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:34,879
Speaker 1: Whoever plays tomorrow gets their fifth win unless they go

78
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,439
to overtime and Adam Silver's like it doesn't know, No,

79
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,879
no one gets to win. How about that everyone gets

80
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:40,680
half a loss.

81
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: Hey, they're four to eleven, just like Charlotte in the middle.

82
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: Oh god, okay, So the LaMelo.

83
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 2: Thing, that's exactly what you tweeted, Chuck.

84
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: It's not too different. Also, if you're listening to this

85
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:06,199
pod and you missed this lively decompression session and you're

86
00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:08,120
listening to the audio, subscribe and hang out with us.

87
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,959
It's a fun time. So it's very different from our

88
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,959
last pot that opened very positively, but things have changed.

89
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,879
The LaMelo thing, there was this report that he wants

90
00:05:16,879 --> 00:05:20,959
to trade, but then he refuted it. He tweeted the

91
00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:24,759
emoji with which is in his in his generation, is

92
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,000
the most vehement. Uh, the one emoji, the clown emoji. Oh,

93
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:33,360
he quoted the story with the clown emoji on Twitter, which.

94
00:05:33,319 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: Is basically suing for defamation.

95
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: Exactly that is, he was no, but I there's no

96
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,079
part of me that wants LaMelo Ball on this team

97
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:47,920
that involves trading James harden Away.

98
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: No, what did you get Collins and some other junk,

99
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:56,560
some crap.

100
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 2: I My only point would be with LaMelo, and I've

101
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,759
been talking about it all summer, is if you're not

102
00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:09,240
getting Lamello or Kaminga or Trey Young or one of

103
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:13,439
these guys that have obvious flaws. I mean, you're really

104
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:16,600
crossing your fingers that Yannis is gonna come in twenty

105
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:19,920
twenty seven and won't already be on another team. Uh,

106
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,279
it could be slim Pickens. You might have all this

107
00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:26,879
cap space and you're like, well, we're striking out now.

108
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,160
You may be okay with that. You'd rather strike out

109
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,680
than bring in Mellow. I don't have im there.

110
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:33,959
Speaker 3: Well, I'm interested to.

111
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 2: Be twenty seven.

112
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 5: Last episode, like last episode keeps out going, which could

113
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:41,839
change if they lose to the Hornets. But last episode

114
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,199
we talked about how like we feel confident in this

115
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,839
front office that they're not going to make rash moves

116
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:50,759
in this scenario. But looking ahead to twenty twenty seven,

117
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:54,680
now realizing how much the game has changed and how

118
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,720
far behind, how does that change your calculus Because you're like, okay,

119
00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:02,040
so that's Yannis too years older. You see where the

120
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,279
league is at right now. You see teams like the Spurs.

121
00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:06,279
You see these teams that.

122
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 3: Are only getting younger, they're only getting faster.

123
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 5: The Thunder might get another first round, will get another

124
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,079
first round, most.

125
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,959
Speaker 3: Likely this year. How does that change it?

126
00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:20,759
Speaker 5: Because I think, you know, I think that that might

127
00:07:20,839 --> 00:07:24,560
be a faulty that that might be a faulty point

128
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,399
to build around now. And that's nothing against Giannis or anything,

129
00:07:27,399 --> 00:07:29,879
but I think maybe the model of like hoping to

130
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:32,480
bring in the thirty plus year old star and build

131
00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:34,879
your team around that, it's not enough. It's not gonna

132
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,240
be enough to be competitive in this league.

133
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,199
Speaker 1: And at this time is not enough.

134
00:07:40,079 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: I think it's fair, But I think teams will still

135
00:07:42,959 --> 00:07:46,000
take that chance to get what could very likely end

136
00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:48,160
up being a top fifteen player. Ever, like if he

137
00:07:48,199 --> 00:08:00,680
wins another ring, Like yeah, these guys work to do.

138
00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:05,360
But I think you have to consider things like this

139
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,680
and not just outright be like no way, no way,

140
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,920
we can't do it, because what are you?

141
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,199
Speaker 1: I considered? So I do want to point out this

142
00:08:13,279 --> 00:08:14,839
is the this is the best reason I've heard for

143
00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:17,959
the Clippers to trade for Melow from Ali and the Comments,

144
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,959
which is used to play with Mellow at twenty four

145
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,240
hour fitness in Chino Hills when he was twelve. Love it,

146
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:27,079
totally understand what you wanted them on. I he's from Calie,

147
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,399
get him on the team. That's where I'm at right now.

148
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:35,919
Let's just get guys. So my thing with Lamello, my

149
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:41,679
thing with LaMelo is it's just it's the ankle stuff. Dude,

150
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:45,840
He's had two surgeries on the same ankle. He's already

151
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,879
had to sit out five games this season due to

152
00:08:47,919 --> 00:08:51,519
ankle soreness on that same ankle, and like that, and

153
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:56,559
like it's I know the Young, but it also feels

154
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,399
like we're we're in this again, the hellscape that I

155
00:08:59,399 --> 00:09:02,759
had earlier, where it's like Trey Young or LaMelo, Like

156
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,200
it feels like we're looking at this this fork in

157
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,279
the road and we're getting a flat tire on both

158
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,200
on whichever one we pick. But it's just like a

159
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,399
different or we're getting some kind of car issue. Whichever

160
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,120
we choose.

161
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:19,519
Speaker 2: You're getting a flawed player. Because that's why they're available

162
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,840
to begin with. People are like, well, I don't want

163
00:09:23,919 --> 00:09:26,919
him he's doing this wrong and that wrong. It's like, yeah,

164
00:09:27,039 --> 00:09:31,600
that's why he's available. Yeah, it would never be that issue.

165
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:36,120
What you're hoping for is in Lamello's case, he's twenty four, right,

166
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,000
he can get a change of scenery. Charlotte has been

167
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,679
bad for a while and poorly run. You dip him

168
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,759
in Clippers culture, you hope get him.

169
00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 3: The drivers in super cannot driving in Los Angeles.

170
00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: But how about this? What if and maybe this is

171
00:09:53,039 --> 00:09:55,840
too dubree, which check me if it is, what if

172
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,919
by the time he gets here, the Clippers culture needs

173
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,679
some kind of hard reset. I don't think he's got

174
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:04,120
a culture.

175
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just.

176
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: It's a really fun culture with tattoos.

177
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,519
Speaker 3: No, we keep Nico forever.

178
00:10:12,759 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: Nico's I mean, Nico is his vet.

179
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: Sure. Culture is often often can be built though with

180
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,919
role players with steady vets. It's like you can bring

181
00:10:20,919 --> 00:10:26,480
in that your system. That's not it's I know, there's

182
00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:31,240
nothing to dumor right now, to tumor to not be

183
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,039
able to bring up I think it's warranted. I think

184
00:10:34,039 --> 00:10:36,159
there's there's tons of questions about LaMelo.

185
00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: So since LaMelo does not he put the kebash on

186
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:45,840
the trade ideas. Do we think, yeah, A, we'll see,

187
00:10:45,919 --> 00:10:49,000
but do we think this front off it? Like I

188
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,559
have gone from thinking a that maybe they I don't

189
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,559
think they'll make a move to save the season, because

190
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:54,720
I don't think that move exists.

191
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 3: It doesn't exist.

192
00:10:56,039 --> 00:11:00,279
Speaker 1: There's not there, our seats getting a little warm somewhere.

193
00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:02,000
We've seen no improvement.

194
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,159
Speaker 3: So I'll say it, I don't think that they Like, I.

195
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,399
Speaker 1: Don't think they fire anyone mid season because that would

196
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:11,840
not make things any better. I don't think as much

197
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:17,399
as you hate TYLERU getting in not you too obviously.

198
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 5: Yea, but like when does when you like underachieve to

199
00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:24,919
this extent though, Like the easiest move to make it

200
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,840
look like you're doing something is always going to be

201
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,919
firing the coach. So like, from that perspective, I think

202
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,120
it's possible. Do I see this four and eleven as

203
00:11:34,159 --> 00:11:37,799
being like, like I can point to Tylos that's the

204
00:11:37,879 --> 00:11:39,600
reason for this not in my opinion.

205
00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:43,279
Speaker 3: Do I think that there are issues? Yeah, but it's

206
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,720
also so personnel driven.

207
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,159
Speaker 1: They are short horribly this.

208
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 3: Script.

209
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,919
Speaker 5: Every single year you see a team far underperforms expectations.

210
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,120
They can't trade their way out of it. Like there

211
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,559
you know, there's no way to make it, so they

212
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,440
fire the coach like that's that's what you do.

213
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: You see it often though with more unstable organizations. Typically.

214
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,879
The Denver Nuggets move was a big one late last season,

215
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,200
and the difference there was I think they felt like

216
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,279
Mike Malone had lost the locker room. He was airing

217
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:23,720
guys out, and it was what is he really doing?

218
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,320
Because we're still really bad every time Niko jokicch is

219
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,320
off the floor, and it has been like this for years,

220
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,200
like they are historically going through these huge swings. Whenever

221
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:35,679
jokicch is off the floor, they're twenty points worse per

222
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,960
one hundred possessions and stuff like that. Now, part of

223
00:12:38,039 --> 00:12:43,240
that was on the GM too, But until the team

224
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,399
I think clearly tunes out coach lou and he loses

225
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,039
the locker room, I would not make a move like

226
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,519
that because they aren't. It's this is less about not

227
00:12:55,639 --> 00:12:57,879
being able to coach guys up. It's the guys that

228
00:12:57,919 --> 00:13:00,519
are out there just aren't as talented right now.

229
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: And to your point of guys like rejecting Tyler or

230
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,480
something like that, we would be able to tell that.

231
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 3: Some fans think we're there to be fair.

232
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 5: So I'm seeing that on Twitter all the time, like

233
00:13:12,879 --> 00:13:14,399
that this guy has lost the lot.

234
00:13:14,759 --> 00:13:19,639
Speaker 2: That's not what I'm here years ago. Jack, Sorry, My point.

235
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: Is James Harden, of all players, if he is done

236
00:13:24,759 --> 00:13:28,399
with a coach, you will know if James Harden is

237
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,919
done with a coach. You know what I'm saying. The

238
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,879
way that he responds to things that like you've we've

239
00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:37,039
all seen the get like, he's an expressive guy. If

240
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,799
he were to be done or not feeling.

241
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 2: Great his last days in Houston, we would know.

242
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,879
Speaker 1: I think I think we would know. I will say

243
00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:49,600
Tyler had that little laugh to the law Murray question

244
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,159
about like trying to keep the guys like how do

245
00:13:53,159 --> 00:13:55,039
you keep it from falling together? And ty kind of

246
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,600
put his head down and like chuckled, and I that

247
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,879
that to me is the first kind of like, oh,

248
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,840
he's obviously we know he's frustrated. But it felt of course,

249
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,559
of course he's frustrated. That to me felt like, uh,

250
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,039
maybe something to keep an eye on because he's obviously trying.

251
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,840
I didn't know if that was an I'm exhausted from

252
00:14:14,879 --> 00:14:17,759
trying so much or these guys aren't necessarily getting it

253
00:14:17,879 --> 00:14:21,159
type thing. I just didn't know, I think, and.

254
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 5: I think too, like if we had stayed healthy and

255
00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:27,159
we were seeing what like the on court product that

256
00:14:27,159 --> 00:14:30,399
we saw on the floor early, then I would think, yeah,

257
00:14:30,519 --> 00:14:32,639
Tylu should be in the hot seat because that did

258
00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:35,000
not look like a team that was like on the

259
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:35,639
same page.

260
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 3: That did not look like a team that was together.

261
00:14:38,519 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: If he had all his pieces and they were four

262
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,320
and eleven, I'd be like, Okay, then it's probably other guys.

263
00:14:46,799 --> 00:14:49,759
They were three and three with Kawhi. That's not good,

264
00:14:49,919 --> 00:14:52,240
but it's not one in five and it's not that

265
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,120
out of the ordinary to get off to a slow

266
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,600
start like that and then for them to figure it out.

267
00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:58,759
If they had Kawhi this entire time and they were

268
00:14:58,799 --> 00:15:01,360
still four on eleven, that's where I'd really be like,

269
00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:04,759
this guy is following something doesn't smell right here, and

270
00:15:04,799 --> 00:15:05,200
the guy.

271
00:15:05,039 --> 00:15:07,919
Speaker 1: Who was supposed to be the starting shooting guard.

272
00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: And the starting shooting guard like like they have had

273
00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:14,679
to adjust in a major way. I think Coach Lou

274
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,000
is really frustrated because once again he doesn't have his

275
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,039
guys and he's being judged so harshly when he doesn't

276
00:15:20,039 --> 00:15:23,279
have his guys, and he said, this.

277
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: Is the other part. So if you're him, you're like,

278
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,279
there's some shit. You guys could also do a little

279
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:31,559
better individually. That's making things.

280
00:15:31,399 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: Harder, the turnovers, And he is stressed that this has

281
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:35,080
been an.

282
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: Issue like defensive communication.

283
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like, honestly, I think he's right. Coach Lou

284
00:15:42,559 --> 00:15:46,919
has said that, you know, we just can't turn the

285
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,399
ball over, like we can't have these live ball turnovers

286
00:15:49,399 --> 00:15:52,480
because the idea of us being a good transition defense

287
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:55,000
just isn't there. It's not built into this team because

288
00:15:55,039 --> 00:15:57,840
they're older. It's just not going to happen. So you

289
00:15:57,919 --> 00:16:00,639
can't have twenty one turnovers like they did again Orlando,

290
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:06,000
leading to forty one past breakpoints. But for anybody that's

291
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,679
saying like they tuned out, Oh I've seen them tune out,

292
00:16:09,159 --> 00:16:12,000
I would call bullshit on that to this point, to

293
00:16:12,039 --> 00:16:15,120
this point, I would call it could change, it could change,

294
00:16:15,159 --> 00:16:18,559
We'll see. I would call bullshit because I can bring evidence.

295
00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:22,559
They were down twenty four in Boston. They were down

296
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,120
twenty four in Boston, and they battled back. They had

297
00:16:25,159 --> 00:16:26,960
every reason to pack it in and say we got

298
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,240
a game tomorrow, forget it. We're not gonna We're not

299
00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:32,159
gonna fight here, and they did. Now you could say

300
00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:34,480
the game yesterday, was that a lack of fight or

301
00:16:34,519 --> 00:16:37,000
a lack of effort or they just get out talented

302
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:42,519
and it just the Orlando Magic were top five and

303
00:16:42,559 --> 00:16:45,120
transition points going into that game. The Clippers turn it

304
00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:48,720
over a bunch. It's a recipe for disaster. That's what

305
00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:53,279
I'm seeing. But if things change, because I thought I

306
00:16:53,399 --> 00:16:57,200
found that postgame interview, in that question from law also

307
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,000
to be an eyebrow changer. Let me see if things change,

308
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,160
that is something to monitor. I would say this. The

309
00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:10,119
other thing that was a piece of evidence to me

310
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,880
was this was on the day that Lawrence Frank had

311
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:22,240
the presser regarding Bradley Beal, and then Lawrence Frank speaks

312
00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:25,400
pregame two and they're asking him about the team and

313
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,440
he's like, guys, we've been here before, We've turned it around.

314
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,920
And he was just asked, yeah, and like, basically, you're

315
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,599
somewhat a victim of your own success for getting by

316
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,440
without your star players for so long as the Clippers

317
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,960
have that, we have this standard, Like I don't care

318
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,599
if you don't have Kauai I figure it out like

319
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,440
you have in the past. It's like, this is typically

320
00:17:46,519 --> 00:17:49,039
what happens when you don't have your best player for

321
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,119
long stretches. That's what's happening right now. But the one

322
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,200
thing he said to me that was concerning was I

323
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,759
think it was Justin Russo who asked him about do

324
00:17:57,759 --> 00:17:59,680
you have a vote of confidence right now from Steve

325
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,279
Baum and from Lawrence Frank what if they said to you?

326
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,559
And he said, like they told me I'm the right

327
00:18:05,599 --> 00:18:08,400
guy for this, and he started talking about how yes,

328
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,680
they do have confidence in him, We've been here before.

329
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:13,799
And at the very end of that statement, coach Lou said,

330
00:18:13,839 --> 00:18:17,359
but we'll see, that's what he said. But we'll see

331
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,359
with the very last thing he said there.

332
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,599
Speaker 1: That might be a press tick too, if that makes sense.

333
00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: From media training stuff.

334
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: The butt We'll see, Hey, it's realistic.

335
00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 2: That was the first time I was like, huh, pragmatic,

336
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,920
and then yesterday was another one.

337
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: I found it will is back.

338
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 2: See then people just say that comeback was nothing. Boston

339
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,480
let off the gas. It's like that's bs, Boston not

340
00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:49,599
let off the gas. They almost lost that game. The

341
00:18:49,599 --> 00:18:51,440
Clippers had a wide open three pointer at the end

342
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,359
of it, like those are just people who have agendas

343
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,200
against coach lou All right.

344
00:18:55,079 --> 00:18:56,279
Speaker 1: Let me, we're gonna play this.

345
00:18:56,319 --> 00:18:57,839
Speaker 3: New do it every single time?

346
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,039
Speaker 1: How you need to be doing that? The question a

347
00:19:02,039 --> 00:19:02,559
lot for.

348
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 3: This team right now.

349
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,319
Speaker 4: Like you said, often playing and getting good for good

350
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,319
quarters seems to be challenging, getting the attention to detail.

351
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,799
Speaker 3: And having a stick. It's not like.

352
00:19:12,759 --> 00:19:15,799
Speaker 4: You're coaching a rookies team, you know, Like how how

353
00:19:15,839 --> 00:19:27,079
does how does that kind of stabilize in the short term?

354
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: We gotta be better.

355
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 2: I think part of that, I interpret that part of

356
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,039
that is like we don't have our guys right now.

357
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,319
It is not an easy fixed I don't have the

358
00:19:39,319 --> 00:19:41,640
ball handlers. We can't do what we want to do.

359
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: Right Like the frustration that is the most frustrated I

360
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,640
think you will see TYLERU And I don't mean that

361
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,359
as a knock. He's a very like you know what

362
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,119
I mean, Like he cracks jokes him doing that frustrated laugh.

363
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,680
We've all kind of known people like that. I think

364
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,160
that's as frustrated as we'll see him.

365
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 2: People judge him too much on and it's because it's

366
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,599
what you only see postgame. You don't know what's going

367
00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:12,680
on behind the scenes. I would tell people, first of all,

368
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,759
watch him on the sidelines and the way he coaches.

369
00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:16,880
He doesn't just sit there or sit down like Phil

370
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,000
Jackson the entire game or anything like that. He's up,

371
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,920
he is animated. He is arguing with the officials. And

372
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,359
you may remember a game, was it last season or

373
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,400
the season before where he got kicked out before the

374
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,240
All Star break against the Golden State Warriors. Yeah, and

375
00:20:31,279 --> 00:20:34,960
there is a postgame video of Coach Lou saying like

376
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,279
and he apologized for being too heated afterwards, but he

377
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:40,759
said something like I'd kicked that referee or something like that.

378
00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:42,079
It got caught on camera.

379
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, fine, yeah.

380
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 2: Right, and he was heat of battle all that. Like

381
00:20:48,519 --> 00:20:51,680
if if you think Coach Lou was always that guy

382
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,440
at the podium post game, that is all common cool

383
00:20:54,559 --> 00:20:57,680
and he's never firing brimstone with his guys behind the scenes,

384
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,279
I got news for you, it is not always like that.

385
00:21:01,039 --> 00:21:03,359
I don't I know. DeMarcus Cousins was on the team

386
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,359
for twenty five games or whatever it was, and he

387
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,720
was like, there needs to be more percents of b he.

388
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,279
Speaker 1: Cooked Dario Sarich in that series again, h never forget.

389
00:21:13,559 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 2: It's like, so you're criticizing him for being calm and

390
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,400
cool on your way to the Western Conference Finals without Kawhi,

391
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,599
where we all think they probably win the championship that season.

392
00:21:25,759 --> 00:21:28,200
It's like they got by pretty well with that common cool,

393
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,880
no urgency head coach, wou seem like like, if that's

394
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,079
what you're criticizing, I don't know. I like Doug Christie

395
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,240
had said this last night, Doug Christie, did you guys

396
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,039
see that a week ago, the way he lit up

397
00:21:39,079 --> 00:21:39,960
the King's post game?

398
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:40,559
Speaker 1: Yeah?

399
00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:43,079
Speaker 2: You know what's happened since then, five more losses and

400
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:48,400
getting smoked. His team hasn't responded at all. They've If anything,

401
00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:50,799
they look like a team that's giving up right now.

402
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,480
That's what that looks like. So just having a guy

403
00:21:54,519 --> 00:21:57,200
that has more fire, I don't think that's the cure. All.

404
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,400
It's a cure because there is none, because there's too

405
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,759
many issues going on. And if you want to simplify

406
00:22:03,799 --> 00:22:04,920
it to just being coach.

407
00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:08,599
Speaker 1: Lou, I wish it were just coach. How about that

408
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,000
hot take? I wish the one problem. I wish there

409
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:13,839
was one problem and it could be any I wish

410
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,240
there was one problem to fix, clue. But if it

411
00:22:18,279 --> 00:22:19,839
was like we just, we'd be great if we didn't

412
00:22:19,839 --> 00:22:21,039
have this guy, but great easy.

413
00:22:21,519 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 3: Like look, dude, the roster is so broken.

414
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: Thank you Michael Scott in the comments. I just which

415
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,720
is also a bit of a surprise. We knew coming

416
00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:33,559
into the season that transition, defense and turnovers were going

417
00:22:33,599 --> 00:22:37,240
to be an issue. But now it's like, oh, every

418
00:22:37,319 --> 00:22:39,640
single person I think, Adam you said this last week,

419
00:22:39,839 --> 00:22:42,960
every single persons taking a step back or is playing poorly.

420
00:22:43,079 --> 00:22:46,400
At the exact same time, you could.

421
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 5: Get Time Machine taking mushrooms, Phil Jackson in here. It

422
00:22:50,519 --> 00:22:52,640
wouldn't change anything, dude, we'd.

423
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,599
Speaker 1: Be four to eleven. Wait a second, that's a good idea.

424
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,079
He lives in Montana. We've known someone who knows him.

425
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 2: Probably I think, well, he's in a TP. The thing is,

426
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,039
I said it last week. I think the expression the

427
00:23:16,039 --> 00:23:18,400
hole is greater than the some of its parts. It's

428
00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:20,920
it's lesser with this team right now.

429
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: We were on fire with the metaphors.

430
00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: They're hurting each other, like every guy's weakness is compounding

431
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,440
by the guy next to them. You know, nobody's covering

432
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,599
for one another. I do think still you get Kawhi back,

433
00:23:38,599 --> 00:23:42,119
and like he did earlier in the season, they were

434
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,799
three and three. That's not great. But we've also seen

435
00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:48,319
them get off the slow starts before. And I'm not

436
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,960
judging everything like they're a five hundred team with Kawhi

437
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,960
because they played six games with him so far.

438
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: What is up with Kawhi? For those who missed it,

439
00:23:57,519 --> 00:24:00,960
no contact in practice. He remains limited. Law Murray doesn't

440
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,799
think he plays this weekend. Tyler said he did a

441
00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:06,640
few things. He's definitely gotten better. I don't know how

442
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,799
long it's gonna be, but he's definitely gotten better. Just

443
00:24:08,839 --> 00:24:11,160
seeing him on before yesterday was really good to see

444
00:24:11,839 --> 00:24:14,640
that last sentence. I have heard one hundred and fifty

445
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:19,160
times in my life as a Clippers fan. When is it?

446
00:24:19,559 --> 00:24:20,599
When's he coming back?

447
00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 2: Laurence Lawrence said it to that press conference. I'm not

448
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,559
sure if you said significant foot sprain, but there was

449
00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:30,160
something like it was more severe the ankle led to

450
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,319
spraying the foot, and that's the real issue. And now

451
00:24:33,319 --> 00:24:35,599
people are showing a lot of Theapruder film pictures and

452
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,359
it's like, damn, that looks bad.

453
00:24:38,319 --> 00:24:43,279
Speaker 1: They missed our seeks.

454
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:49,599
Speaker 2: There's like real grainy, up close four K phantom cam

455
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,920
photos or whatever, and you can see the eyes in

456
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,319
pain when he rolled that thing.

457
00:24:54,799 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

458
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,839
Speaker 2: Bad, it looked like it went upside down, Like it's bad.

459
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,519
Speaker 1: So like we're not gonna get any Also, there's this

460
00:25:04,559 --> 00:25:07,839
thing that's been happening with Clippers fans where they're like,

461
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,519
when are we gonna get a real update from the

462
00:25:09,559 --> 00:25:17,880
medical team, my my brotherdom and Clippers fandom never? I know,

463
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,519
it's frustrating. Throw that belief out the window. You're not

464
00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:22,240
gonna get.

465
00:25:22,319 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 2: And they don't have it, And I would advise them

466
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,400
go ass Laker fans, how forthright their medical team is

467
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,079
or anybody else's like this is sports, Like this is

468
00:25:31,079 --> 00:25:32,359
what it is in twenty twenty five.

469
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: It sucks ass everybody.

470
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 3: And I agree that.

471
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,799
Speaker 5: You know, you're a little bit more salty about it

472
00:25:38,839 --> 00:25:40,480
as a Clippers fan, I mean.

473
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: Because it happens constantly.

474
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 5: Well why and Kawhi just being listened as questionable when

475
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,039
we all knew he was never gonna play another game

476
00:25:47,079 --> 00:25:50,799
in that postseason? Uh, but like this is one of

477
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:52,920
those situations where you just never know. We started as

478
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,880
an ankle sprain, but it was bad enough that it

479
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,440
became like a foot injury.

480
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 2: Look at that.

481
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,599
Speaker 1: It looks horrible, dude, Like we.

482
00:26:00,599 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 2: Might be lucky he didn't break his ankle.

483
00:26:02,759 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: He looks so bad.

484
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,079
Speaker 2: That's about as unnatural as he can get.

485
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: So brutal. I'm not laughing at I'm just laughing at

486
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,000
how my foot so in this situation, for my foot,

487
00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:18,640
it would it would have popped up and then kicked

488
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,720
me in the chin. My foot would have come off

489
00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:23,880
and then kicked me in the chin. We cannot enhance

490
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:31,759
the twitter. Twitter sucks. Yeah, so we don't know how

491
00:26:31,799 --> 00:26:33,079
long he's going to be out.

492
00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 2: He's on the trip. As you mentioned, non contact practice

493
00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:41,160
for him lost that he'd be surprised if he played

494
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,359
this weekend. We know he's out for tomorrow's game, so

495
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,319
maybe at best we're looking at the Laker game.

496
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: Well, that's the most important one because it's the only

497
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,400
thing we can win this year in the NBA Cup.

498
00:26:55,799 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 2: Do see it that way?

499
00:26:58,039 --> 00:27:00,839
Speaker 1: Okay? What else could we in this year? I guess

500
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,720
this is my follow up question.

501
00:27:03,559 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 2: The.

502
00:27:09,079 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 3: Fellas get a new Toyoda?

503
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 2: Dude?

504
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,319
Speaker 1: Do that'd be fun? Only if l O L W

505
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,400
T F Eric paints a sweet mural on the hood

506
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,839
of mine. It literally went back into the left. Speaking

507
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,559
of Zapruter, Yeah, it went back into the left.

508
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,519
Speaker 2: It actually looks more gruesome to me. That's terrible.

509
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: Miles Johnson saying the idea that Kawhi is saving this

510
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,559
team is laughable. He should get healthy and come back

511
00:27:35,599 --> 00:27:36,160
when he's right.

512
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,319
Speaker 2: Uh sure, yeah, I don't know about.

513
00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 3: Us.

514
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, no, no no, just don't play back

515
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,680
to backs when he comes back.

516
00:27:55,079 --> 00:27:57,759
Speaker 2: Well, the NBA is about to change that as soon

517
00:27:57,799 --> 00:27:59,759
as the Kawhi Leonard era has done.

518
00:27:59,799 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: Apparently the real issue is AAU basketball and how many

519
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,519
miles these kids have on them before they get to college.

520
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,279
Speaker 2: This fucking ESPN article has been out since twenty nineteen

521
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,680
with doctors talking about this stuff, and now everybody's like,

522
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,079
what's going on. I don't get it. It's like what

523
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,000
they're playing year round at a young age specialized sports.

524
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,519
Speaker 1: Now the Netflix doc on AAU will make you want

525
00:28:23,519 --> 00:28:28,720
to like burn like it's the worst thing in the world, dude, Like.

526
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,039
Speaker 2: Like, listen to Kobe Bryant talk about it, like he's

527
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,480
like unsure what I've been able to play twenty years

528
00:28:33,519 --> 00:28:36,160
if I had to do this. Kobe said that, right,

529
00:28:36,319 --> 00:28:39,079
the ultimate competitor wants to play every practice like it's

530
00:28:39,119 --> 00:28:39,680
game seven.

531
00:28:40,079 --> 00:28:44,279
Speaker 1: Six foot eight Kobe.

532
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 2: He was six to seven at least.

533
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: Six seven on that one card.

534
00:28:47,799 --> 00:28:53,519
Speaker 2: It's on video on NBC. The inter game introductions, what

535
00:28:53,519 --> 00:28:55,359
what are we doing if they lose tomorrow?

536
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: What's like, does anything change?

537
00:28:58,519 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 3: Does?

538
00:28:58,759 --> 00:29:00,759
Speaker 1: And I mean this is I.

539
00:29:00,759 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: Would be concerned if they lost tomorrow, if they got

540
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:09,000
smoked tomorrow by Charlotte, by bad Charlotte. I would be

541
00:29:09,599 --> 00:29:13,160
concerned for people. When you brought up hot seed earlier, like,

542
00:29:13,279 --> 00:29:14,720
that's what it's like.

543
00:29:15,279 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: Well, we don't we usually, we don't usually win the

544
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:17,960
audition game.

545
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 3: That's true, and right, something to it.

546
00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: That's something to it. Isn't someone coming back for the

547
00:29:31,279 --> 00:29:31,960
Hornets too?

548
00:29:32,759 --> 00:29:33,519
Speaker 2: Brandon Miller?

549
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:39,039
Speaker 1: Yeah? Awesome, So we have gotten Brandon Miller, Chet Holme, Grin,

550
00:29:39,359 --> 00:29:44,680
Paul George, get the fuck out of here, Balloons. Don't

551
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:49,039
patronize me. We're the team that you come back against

552
00:29:49,079 --> 00:29:53,480
because we're slow. It's my new bit, not gonna be

553
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,839
a lot of running. We're slow.

554
00:29:57,319 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 2: What is the horn I don't know teams. Also, there's

555
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:12,119
an innate part to basketball, where so the Hornets. They

556
00:30:12,119 --> 00:30:15,319
are nineteenth and pace tomorrow they'll be number one. But

557
00:30:15,839 --> 00:30:21,240
there is basketball, and like its purest form. And I

558
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,480
remember this one Dan Tony bringing seven seconds or less

559
00:30:24,519 --> 00:30:27,559
in that European style and all these things. Basketball is

560
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,279
purest form. Guys want to play fast like it is

561
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:32,839
fun to play fast.

562
00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:35,039
Speaker 1: It's like a sled dog thing. They want to run.

563
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:41,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing runs like a deer. NBA players not anymore if.

564
00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:44,039
Speaker 1: You know anything about tractors. But that's a different pod.

565
00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:46,119
That's a Patreon, that's Patreon content.

566
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,839
Speaker 2: I know they have an earnings report.

567
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,079
Speaker 1: Next week, but those are canceled.

568
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: If you're saying, hey, let's play fast and let's run

569
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,599
these guys out of the gym. They're old and slow

570
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,240
to a team that is red meat like. So the

571
00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:06,440
Clippers are old and slow at the wrong time in

572
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,519
the league to be that too. Now, I still think

573
00:31:09,519 --> 00:31:12,119
there's gonna be some regression with pace, Like I don't

574
00:31:12,119 --> 00:31:14,240
think the Miami Heat are gonna end up at a

575
00:31:14,279 --> 00:31:16,240
one o six per one hundred posession or they get

576
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,799
one hundred and six possessions per game by the end

577
00:31:18,839 --> 00:31:21,599
of the season. There will be some Maybe Clippers feel

578
00:31:21,599 --> 00:31:23,319
like we could wait it out a little bit and

579
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:24,759
just hang around five hundred.

580
00:31:25,319 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: But do we think there's more teams Like obviously like

581
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,079
the one oh six or whatever is not gonna hold over,

582
00:31:31,759 --> 00:31:34,559
But do we think there's gonna be more teams over

583
00:31:35,559 --> 00:31:37,960
one oh one or something this year than yeah, you

584
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:38,920
know what I'm saying, Like.

585
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,119
Speaker 2: And that's sure half because last year there were three

586
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,440
teams that ended at one o three Right now this

587
00:31:46,559 --> 00:31:51,319
year there's one, two, three, four, five, So there's only

588
00:31:51,359 --> 00:31:54,720
five right now. Actually I thought it was it was more.

589
00:31:54,759 --> 00:31:56,440
I think we looked at this like a week ago

590
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:57,160
and it.

591
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: Goes on, it has.

592
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, a touch were counting on that about that.

593
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,119
Speaker 1: What if the Clippers slow down as the season goes on?

594
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 2: Is that?

595
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: Yes? I think so. Harden's having to carry his usage.

596
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,319
The other night was like his usage keeps going up

597
00:32:19,319 --> 00:32:19,839
every game.

598
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me tell you something. Harden is not finishing

599
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,039
the year with the numbers that he has right now.

600
00:32:24,079 --> 00:32:26,519
It's not going to happen at the age of thirty six.

601
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,319
Speaker 1: And again, we should just take a check because Will

602
00:32:29,359 --> 00:32:31,440
made us do this last episode, and I think it

603
00:32:31,519 --> 00:32:35,119
was right. We do just gotta He's doing so much

604
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,920
for this shut out chips.

605
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,519
Speaker 3: I know everything is craft.

606
00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: Right now, I know everything is literal garbage.

607
00:32:42,759 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 3: But he's really he's really giving us all.

608
00:32:45,279 --> 00:32:48,039
Speaker 1: He's making it nice garbage. Yeah, he's making it that

609
00:32:48,119 --> 00:32:49,599
kind of garbage you take out and you don't get

610
00:32:49,599 --> 00:32:50,400
anything anywhere.

611
00:32:51,359 --> 00:32:53,799
Speaker 3: It's like you said, just doesn't even stink crazy.

612
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,799
Speaker 2: He said Paul's game regarding the losing kind of matter

613
00:32:57,839 --> 00:33:01,480
of factly, like, well, yeah, we're missing. We're trying to

614
00:33:01,519 --> 00:33:03,599
kind of figure this thing out on the fly right now.

615
00:33:04,279 --> 00:33:07,640
I don't think there is shocked that they're losing games,

616
00:33:07,759 --> 00:33:11,119
as most of the fans are considering just availability issues.

617
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, Zoo sounded pretty dejective the other night talking about.

618
00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 2: The defense Zoo always does. Now he wears his heart

619
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,039
on his sleeve. Yeah, he's one.

620
00:33:21,079 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 3: He's always spinning defense on the court.

621
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: So the quote that I was I think we were

622
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:31,000
talking about from about Harden. Justin Rousseau put out a

623
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,680
great article again, the Clippers might be bad on the court,

624
00:33:34,759 --> 00:33:39,599
but the reporters off the quarter Fantastic Present Company included, uh,

625
00:33:39,759 --> 00:33:43,319
James Harden's career best efficiency is being wasted on a

626
00:33:43,359 --> 00:33:47,400
team going nowhere fast. Clippers not named Harden are shooting

627
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,359
thirty five percent on threes. Harden represents thirty three percent

628
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,319
of the team's total free throws, too.

629
00:33:55,839 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 3: Sounds about right who else he's getting there.

630
00:33:57,799 --> 00:34:00,559
Speaker 1: He's averaging twenty six and a half points, eight point

631
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,759
six assists, six point two rebounds, and he has a

632
00:34:03,839 --> 00:34:06,759
sixty three percent true shooting percentage that would mark would

633
00:34:06,799 --> 00:34:09,079
be the highest of his career as a starter.

634
00:34:10,519 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 2: If you want to dumb everything down to the One

635
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,480
of the biggest reasons that they're four and eleven. So

636
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,760
the Clippers are shooting thirty six percent from the field,

637
00:34:21,119 --> 00:34:27,360
which is like around twentieth and teams against them are

638
00:34:27,639 --> 00:34:32,199
shooting thirty nine point two percent. That went up almost

639
00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:36,320
a full percent after yesterday's game against the Magic, it

640
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,679
was at thirty eight point three percent. The Magic went

641
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,920
like sixteen of thirty four from the or eighteen of

642
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,039
thirty four from the outside and had their best shooting game.

643
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,719
It went up almost a full percent. So they're not

644
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,519
hitting threes, teams are hitting everything against them like it's

645
00:34:50,559 --> 00:34:51,679
a recipe for disaster.

646
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:55,679
Speaker 1: The three thing is crazy. Someone I think Lot Murray

647
00:34:55,679 --> 00:35:01,840
talked about guards getting really comfortable around the Clippers defense

648
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,280
and everything like that, Like it just what is it?

649
00:35:07,119 --> 00:35:09,239
We got done out there, we got Zoo out there.

650
00:35:09,559 --> 00:35:13,760
We should be able to cobble together. Not a bottom

651
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,519
ten defense, tjj whentheld.

652
00:35:17,519 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 2: It tells you how connected you have to be. It

653
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,199
tells you how connected you have to be. But even

654
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,519
when DJ was there, they were still bottom five. Like,

655
00:35:25,679 --> 00:35:27,639
I'm not saying that that's not his fault. I'm saying

656
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,960
they are not working together as a cohesive unit.

657
00:35:32,159 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: People are in the chat talking about uh, Zoo has

658
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,960
been entitled this season crying for fouls. I think that

659
00:35:41,119 --> 00:35:43,159
is a sign. I think that is one of Zoo's

660
00:35:43,199 --> 00:35:50,679
frustration ticks and a tired tick and a fatigue tick. Yeah,

661
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,280
like he argues when he's tired and when things aren't

662
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,480
going well, and things have not been going well for

663
00:35:57,599 --> 00:36:02,159
most He's also like people Twitter, Clippers, Twitter is inherently

664
00:36:02,199 --> 00:36:04,800
negative and they're like, he's been garbage this season. He

665
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,440
hasn't been garbage this season, but he hasn't been the Zoo.

666
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,880
He took such a good leap last year. He's getting

667
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,559
BBoy votes and chatter and it's just like, damn you

668
00:36:14,559 --> 00:36:17,920
would you want the assertion to be a little he's

669
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:18,480
more there.

670
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 2: Wild.

671
00:36:20,639 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we want the assertiveness to be back a little bit.

672
00:36:25,559 --> 00:36:29,519
I think is what like if if, Because if if

673
00:36:29,519 --> 00:36:32,239
he was playing at a level as he was last year,

674
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:33,719
this team just does look better.

675
00:36:34,079 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 2: Well.

676
00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 5: Look, the thing is is he's the second best player

677
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,639
on the team right now, and I think I think

678
00:36:41,679 --> 00:36:43,480
that he could be showing that a little bit more.

679
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 3: On the court.

680
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: Well, tied with Kobe Sanders. Of course, Uh, Clippers just

681
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:50,960
need to use the power of friendship and they will

682
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,480
be fine. Alex Web says that is actually a good call,

683
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:59,639
that's a great idea. Arth wants to know if Adam

684
00:36:59,639 --> 00:37:02,039
would try in zoobots for KAMINGA.

685
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 2: No, no, that's what the fuck.

686
00:37:08,519 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: You get out of this chat. And I think I

687
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,800
talked about this a little bit the last time a

688
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,880
couple episodes ago. They've all run together. Because the results

689
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:25,119
continue to be the same, what are we looking for

690
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,119
to improve on?

691
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:26,559
Speaker 2: Like?

692
00:37:26,639 --> 00:37:28,559
Speaker 1: What is the first thing? I guess we want to

693
00:37:28,599 --> 00:37:35,400
see for things to let us know that maybe it's good.

694
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,639
Speaker 2: They have no shot a winning if they don't take

695
00:37:38,639 --> 00:37:40,360
care of the basketball, they don't have a shot. And

696
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,519
they have been better before yesterday, they had been better.

697
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,920
I think they only had ten turnovers against Philly. The

698
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,599
game before that, turnovers were close to ten against Boston.

699
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,400
The recipe for getting blown out for this Clippers team

700
00:37:54,639 --> 00:37:57,360
is to turn the basketball over. Because I still felt

701
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,519
like at times in that game against Orlando yesterday, I

702
00:37:59,559 --> 00:38:02,119
was like them, they're playing great half court defense. Like

703
00:38:02,159 --> 00:38:07,280
there were some possessions they were so good defense.

704
00:38:07,079 --> 00:38:09,119
Speaker 1: A little bit the Clippers were just not able to

705
00:38:09,159 --> 00:38:12,440
take advantage of. Like the Clippers started, they were shooting

706
00:38:12,519 --> 00:38:14,880
so bad, but they were it wasn't out of reach.

707
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,519
Speaker 2: No, it was the turnovers. They had eight in the

708
00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:22,039
second quarter, leading the thirteen points, and they got down

709
00:38:22,079 --> 00:38:24,440
by twelve at the half when it was a one

710
00:38:24,519 --> 00:38:26,119
point game midway through the second.

711
00:38:27,079 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: Well, the offense can't go on runs. What's the longer?

712
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 3: Well, how can you go on a run if you're

713
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:35,079
turning the ball over right? Third possession?

714
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:41,079
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm trying to pull up half court defense and

715
00:38:41,119 --> 00:38:43,519
see where they ranked there, because I'm pretty sure it's

716
00:38:43,559 --> 00:38:48,239
probably top ten maybe better. But that's like their half

717
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:54,760
cour defense. Well, I'll just say, like you uh, I

718
00:38:54,800 --> 00:39:00,079
mean maybe like you know, six or seventh thre a's.

719
00:38:59,199 --> 00:39:09,679
Speaker 1: Ten to five. Yeah, yeah, turnovers. Let's fix that someone

720
00:39:09,679 --> 00:39:13,360
else hitting a shot. Yeah, is one that I'm like,

721
00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:18,159
and I know that like losing Derek J. Junior's brutal.

722
00:39:18,199 --> 00:39:19,880
He was on such a good start to the year.

723
00:39:21,599 --> 00:39:23,679
I would love for Collins to shoot a little bit better.

724
00:39:25,159 --> 00:39:26,400
I would love for.

725
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 2: Collins needs to play better. Forget shooting better, Like just

726
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:30,079
play better.

727
00:39:30,199 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: Just play better at Will's bugaboo not very good for

728
00:39:36,119 --> 00:39:40,800
John Collins too much well, And I think Tyler's drawing

729
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,039
up some like La Clippers soon brought it up. He's

730
00:39:43,039 --> 00:39:44,639
like he's kind of trying to put like the ball

731
00:39:44,679 --> 00:39:46,840
in his hands a little bit, and it's like, don't

732
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:47,239
do that.

733
00:39:47,519 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 3: Like, No, I think we've moved past that.

734
00:39:50,119 --> 00:39:58,519
Speaker 1: I would hope. Okay, we have to talk about this

735
00:39:58,559 --> 00:40:03,199
a little bit, the trade stuff. J T seven oh

736
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,840
four nine. I'm not coming at you specifically about this,

737
00:40:06,079 --> 00:40:10,079
but this has been a thing where it's it's this

738
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:14,199
sentiment that, like the Clippers can get a haul for Harden.

739
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 5: Ay, not before the trade deadline. That's when these big

740
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:19,280
deals happen.

741
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,199
Speaker 1: Right, you can't be traded until December fifteenth either, So

742
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:23,599
if you want to trade hard and you gotta wait

743
00:40:23,639 --> 00:40:26,480
a little bit. I just don't think there's a haul there.

744
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,159
We've talked about this, like there's not. There's one first

745
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:35,320
round pick waiting for James Harden from a good team,

746
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,800
from a good team, and then we're getting filler a

747
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,559
lot to fill the salary. Right, Oh, a thing we overlooked.

748
00:40:41,599 --> 00:40:43,599
This was actually I think this is why every single

749
00:40:43,639 --> 00:40:47,440
person tuned in. The Clippers applied for a disabled player

750
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:48,800
exception for Bradley Beal.

751
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 3: Which is only like it's two point seven million dollars

752
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,159
or something, right, it's like half his salary.

753
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: Yes, two point six seven seven it's available until March ten.

754
00:41:00,519 --> 00:41:03,960
The Clippers are currently only one point three million under

755
00:41:04,079 --> 00:41:07,480
the first Apron hardcap. A hard cap can't be exceeded

756
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,679
for any reason, even by using a disabled player exception. Great,

757
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,119
so fuck yeah, Oh nothing good's happening this season. We're

758
00:41:17,159 --> 00:41:19,440
getting the disabled player exception for Bradley Beal.

759
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 3: Does that make you think they.

760
00:41:26,559 --> 00:41:27,199
Speaker 2: Say that again?

761
00:41:27,639 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 3: Does that make you think they've got their eyes on

762
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:30,440
a potential trade?

763
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:32,559
Speaker 2: What?

764
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:33,039
Speaker 1: Oh?

765
00:41:33,079 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 2: The fact that they're asking for that, I think it's

766
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:40,039
just due diligence. I wouldn't look to I think.

767
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,159
Speaker 1: It's I think it's Mark Will's like, let me rotate

768
00:41:43,199 --> 00:41:46,679
my camera and show you my poster board string and

769
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,239
some and some photographs I've gonnage.

770
00:41:50,639 --> 00:41:52,679
Speaker 3: Now, how much do you know about Terrence Howard math?

771
00:41:53,679 --> 00:41:57,559
You understand a little bit of that heard of math.

772
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: But Terrence Howard has some great ideas about math. Oh yeah,

773
00:42:03,519 --> 00:42:07,599
I don't know. How do they get It's so frustrating

774
00:42:07,599 --> 00:42:10,639
because it's that problem of how do they get better?

775
00:42:11,039 --> 00:42:15,599
They simply play better. You hit more shots, you stop

776
00:42:15,639 --> 00:42:18,360
turning the ball over, you communicate a little more on

777
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:23,079
the transition defense, and someone other than Brook Lopez makes threes.

778
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,239
I also think when we discuss this team that James

779
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,360
Harden should be removed kind of you know what I'm saying,

780
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,079
Like it's like he is carrying the offense right now.

781
00:42:33,639 --> 00:42:36,760
There are some flaws. There are some lazy turnovers, but

782
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,559
I don't lazy is not the right word. There are

783
00:42:38,559 --> 00:42:42,519
some exhausted turnovers, yeah, from James Harden. So at this

784
00:42:42,639 --> 00:42:45,679
point it's like that you have to live with you

785
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,000
have to. We have to live with it. Let me

786
00:42:48,039 --> 00:42:54,480
change the bat best option, it's our best option, and

787
00:42:54,519 --> 00:42:56,000
there's no one else who can help it.

788
00:42:56,039 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 2: Evidently, Bogey has got to be better more consistently.

789
00:43:03,519 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: Can JVG suit up, take a charge? Fire the guys up,

790
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,519
just take one. Do you think his body would explode

791
00:43:13,559 --> 00:43:15,679
if he took a charge from an NBA player in

792
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:16,119
a game?

793
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,159
Speaker 5: Do you think he's made the guys give their shirts

794
00:43:18,199 --> 00:43:19,840
back because they haven't been following it?

795
00:43:20,599 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had a shirt burning.

796
00:43:24,039 --> 00:43:28,320
Speaker 1: He goes, here's a seam ripper. Everyone go ahead and

797
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,559
take the last name off your jersey.

798
00:43:33,039 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a dishonorable general and they just rip

799
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:36,679
it off.

800
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:37,559
Speaker 1: Do they even.

801
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 2: What if instead of a cherry picker on offense, we

802
00:43:43,519 --> 00:43:46,679
always have a guy back for defense.

803
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: Dude, I'm in because honestly, the offense has already one

804
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,719
verse five anyway, right, Like, the offense is already hardened.

805
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:59,159
Speaker 3: So let's just why let's has anyone the reverse?

806
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: The reverse Jerry pick is so good. Yeah, let's have

807
00:44:04,639 --> 00:44:07,960
let's put so who who's are we putting Collins back there?

808
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 2: Uh?

809
00:44:11,599 --> 00:44:14,639
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Sanders rookie Duty's rookie duty.

810
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got it. He's got plenty Mary pick.

811
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 3: You're picking it out of the box. It's coming out

812
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,800
of the bottom. It's opposite.

813
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:35,199
Speaker 1: Cry pick. Oh all right, we should actually do that, though,

814
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:40,199
I think, Adam, I think we should that. You proposed.

815
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 2: You get the f back, You get the f back.

816
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,360
You just stay back, all right?

817
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 1: Hey, ty, Adam oslin uhy in five seventy, have you

818
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,400
guys considered maybe just putting like Kobe Sanders behind the

819
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:59,119
half court line on offense? Okay? So, Jimmy Chong of

820
00:44:59,159 --> 00:45:01,400
twenty three, I think it's kind of new to the streams.

821
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,360
Thanks for hanging out said. Is that even illegal? It's

822
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,039
a it's one hundred percent legal.

823
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 2: I mean, there are slow centers that just run up

824
00:45:10,039 --> 00:45:12,559
in that spot sometimes, but they're like a half court

825
00:45:12,639 --> 00:45:14,679
I'm saying, you just stay back.

826
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: You're in the door, you're on the key, you're yeah, wait,

827
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,280
could you wait? How about this? Could they get a

828
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:26,199
defensive three seconds if you're down there?

829
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:31,199
Speaker 2: I have bad news. Oh no, I have have real

830
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,159
bad news. This is shocking to me.

831
00:45:34,039 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 1: Is it illegal?

832
00:45:35,639 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 2: No? But for what I can tell, it looks like

833
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,719
they're twenty sixth in half court defense. Man, I told

834
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:44,199
you it.

835
00:45:44,119 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: Wasn't good, dude. I don't know why you think it was.

836
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened.

837
00:45:50,039 --> 00:45:52,039
Speaker 1: Did you have it set to twenty twenty four to

838
00:45:52,039 --> 00:45:58,480
twenty five. Uh maybe, Hey, I've been there filters man.

839
00:45:59,159 --> 00:46:05,159
Speaker 2: Oh oh no, this is just oh it's from October.

840
00:46:05,159 --> 00:46:07,599
I got it from October first to October twenty fifth.

841
00:46:07,599 --> 00:46:09,800
Why why does it automatically go there? It's not to

842
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,320
do it and give me the full season that day?

843
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:12,960
Is it today?

844
00:46:13,119 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: It's even engineered to make the Clippers look bad. Bro,

845
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:16,840
It's like a whole systematic thing.

846
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 2: Okay, hold on, I got I got an updated. I

847
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,119
got an update here? And do I want to go

848
00:46:22,199 --> 00:46:25,320
October first? Is that going to give me preseason games? Like?

849
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 1: Come on, uh, it's still preseason though, Like we got

850
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,199
time to figure it out before the before the real

851
00:46:31,199 --> 00:46:32,079
shit starts.

852
00:46:33,119 --> 00:46:36,039
Speaker 3: I mean, the NBA doesn't start until after Christmas.

853
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:40,599
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that win should only count when a certain percentage,

854
00:46:40,639 --> 00:46:44,159
when the NBA gets a certain percentage of Nielsen ratings. Yeah,

855
00:46:44,679 --> 00:46:48,639
because the Clippers are as we go off, That's what

856
00:46:48,679 --> 00:46:49,559
I'm worried about.

857
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 3: What about the viewership numbers?

858
00:46:52,559 --> 00:46:55,079
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what fucking good luck to anyone

859
00:46:55,119 --> 00:47:01,320
playing us in March, bro eighteen of zero. We're gonna

860
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:02,360
shock the world.

861
00:47:02,679 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 3: The teams are going to be too tired to run

862
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:04,960
against us.

863
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:10,639
Speaker 1: What the hell? What the hell is going on? Kobe

864
00:47:10,639 --> 00:47:18,199
Sanders putting up sixteen and six? Okay, what are they? Adams?

865
00:47:19,199 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 2: I don't know. Still, it's like I can't.

866
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,599
Speaker 1: I don't think the numbers are good, is what I'm

867
00:47:25,599 --> 00:47:26,119
thinking here.

868
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 2: They may not be. Coach Loos still thought they were

869
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,760
good last night. They look at the numbers.

870
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: Okay, someone's trying to send us a three team trade

871
00:47:33,639 --> 00:47:37,440
via chat. We're not We're not tired about that. Send

872
00:47:37,519 --> 00:47:39,079
us the screenshot of the trade failing?

873
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,639
Speaker 2: Is it Joseph?

874
00:47:43,679 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: It is not Joseph.

875
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:47,639
Speaker 2: Man.

876
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,519
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel great right now.

877
00:47:51,559 --> 00:47:55,679
Speaker 2: No, but they better win tomorrow, dude.

878
00:47:55,679 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: If they lose tomorrow. Also full disclosure, just so listeners

879
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,960
and in viewer see it's grizz Cat. Tomorrow it's the

880
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:07,719
one hundred and twenty fourth meeting of um Verse Montana State.

881
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,800
I will be watching grizz Cat at eleven. Justin Russeau

882
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,320
just texted me he's watching the program. He's a freak.

883
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,719
I have a stat for the podcast if you guys

884
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,039
want it right now. Sure of course we do.

885
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 2: I haven't got a text back from him since twenty

886
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:25,440
twenty four.

887
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,679
Speaker 1: Okay, here we go, the best team in the NBA

888
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:32,280
on catch and shoot threes is the Houston Rockets, and

889
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:36,400
they are shooting forty two point two percent. The Clippers

890
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,800
are allowing teams to shoot forty two point two percent

891
00:48:41,679 --> 00:48:44,679
on catch and shoot threes. So the Clippers are allowing

892
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,639
teams to be the best catch and shoot three team

893
00:48:47,679 --> 00:48:48,239
in the league.

894
00:48:49,519 --> 00:48:53,760
Speaker 2: That's gotta be Now, how many of those are open threes? Like,

895
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:55,840
I'm trying to think of shot variance here.

896
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:02,119
Speaker 5: Too many the percentages got a balance out there, right.

897
00:49:03,199 --> 00:49:06,199
Speaker 2: I was trying to look at open threes and wide

898
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,199
open threes and I didn't see anything that was a

899
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:12,519
major outlier. The other day like thinking, oh, the Clippers

900
00:49:12,519 --> 00:49:15,039
are just getting you know, tough luck because they're hitting

901
00:49:15,119 --> 00:49:18,079
everything on open threes against them versus other teams, I'm

902
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:24,480
not seeing that right now. Yeah, but that's still catch

903
00:49:24,519 --> 00:49:30,159
and shoot. They're getting the worst luck there. But how

904
00:49:30,159 --> 00:49:31,039
many of them are open?

905
00:49:32,079 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 1: I'm telling Rissa that you said it's luck, It just

906
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:50,719
like doesn't. Wait, Alex Webb, where did you go to schools?

907
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:52,599
Speaker 3: Hopped in here and fixed the Clippers?

908
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

909
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: Should we say, is anyone in here? Wait? So do

910
00:49:57,519 --> 00:49:59,199
you guys really not know about the Brawl of the wild.

911
00:49:59,199 --> 00:50:00,800
Do you guys want to take an or hour talking

912
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:08,960
about griz cat Montana versus Montana State? Montana has what

913
00:50:09,119 --> 00:50:11,199
is evil? Yeah? One is a piece of ship who

914
00:50:11,199 --> 00:50:13,280
had a coaching traffic math on their plane, and one

915
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:17,679
is the University of Montana, the greatest schools. No scandal,

916
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:24,440
famously no scandals. Everything's great. Yeah. So what do because

917
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:28,159
they play the Calves on Sunday, do we think they

918
00:50:28,199 --> 00:50:35,079
get the dub and clean. I just, dude, I think

919
00:50:35,119 --> 00:50:37,159
maybe the rest of the season all just become like

920
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:43,360
lunatic like radio guy or like like like Cleveland Brown's

921
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,119
hyper local radio guy who just like doesn't remember what's

922
00:50:46,119 --> 00:50:48,960
happened the day before. And I'm just like, how do we.

923
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 5: Think that's the way to treat the rest of the

924
00:50:52,559 --> 00:50:53,559
season for everyone?

925
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:57,119
Speaker 3: Just pretend you have a head injury every day, brand

926
00:50:57,159 --> 00:50:57,559
new day.

927
00:50:58,199 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: I think the Clippers are playing bad enough that we

928
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,159
should make them wear those gray Pleasantville jerseys they had

929
00:51:03,159 --> 00:51:04,360
to wear that one season.

930
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:05,559
Speaker 3: No, I don't want that.

931
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:07,039
Speaker 1: I don't want it either.

932
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:08,119
Speaker 3: It hurts my eyes.

933
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: Play better. Sorry, go ahead, Adam, you look like you

934
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:15,679
wanted to say something.

935
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,159
Speaker 2: No, man, I really don't.

936
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: I really don't.

937
00:51:23,159 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 2: I look like I don't want to say anything more

938
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,320
about this. Airs. I'll say win tomorrow when tomorrow against

939
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,320
Charlotte because the next two games are gonna be tough.

940
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:37,000
They better get this victory. Yeah, Charlotte's gonna be tough everything.

941
00:51:37,599 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 5: This was the last time we were one and nine

942
00:51:40,039 --> 00:51:42,639
in a ten game stretch.

943
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 2: Twenty I'm guessing twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen because they

944
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:52,360
had a nine game losing streak, that's right, and they

945
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:56,280
still won forty two games. Yeah, sweet lou.

946
00:51:57,679 --> 00:52:00,519
Speaker 1: God dude, sweet lose triple double off the bench. Chicago

947
00:52:00,599 --> 00:52:02,039
is one of the greatest days of my life.

948
00:52:05,599 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 2: I don't have a theory. No read this? Yeah no,

949
00:52:08,519 --> 00:52:09,039
oh wait.

950
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,280
Speaker 1: Hold okay, Alex said Clippers will lose the weekend and

951
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,280
smoke the Lakers. NBA cut baby.

952
00:52:14,639 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 3: We'll see you with the party.

953
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 1: We'll see you with the party. Adam's not invited because

954
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,119
he think he says it doesn't count.

955
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:22,519
Speaker 3: Stupid.

956
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 2: It's sup sorry me or Adam Silver.

957
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,559
Speaker 1: Now, Adam Silver thinks that counts all.

958
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 3: And the oldest team should play an extra game.

959
00:52:35,199 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't count for it doesn't count towards anything. That

960
00:52:39,599 --> 00:52:40,679
is useless.

961
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,679
Speaker 2: I do think it was a detriment to not have

962
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:47,599
the Lakers earlier in the schedule, considering the Clippers always

963
00:52:47,599 --> 00:52:49,599
get up for the Lakers, like we needed them in

964
00:52:49,639 --> 00:52:53,039
the first five games, Like that's the one team that

965
00:52:53,079 --> 00:52:55,159
they typically would always get up for.

966
00:52:55,679 --> 00:52:58,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, do you want to say anything else

967
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:05,880
before we this old bad larrea up? What Adam?

968
00:53:06,519 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 3: What's what's possible?

969
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't think we're not gonna make out him do that.

970
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:15,079
Speaker 2: It's alive. We don't do that a lot. And i'd

971
00:53:15,119 --> 00:53:18,159
so much positive stuff already, there's been.

972
00:53:18,079 --> 00:53:23,559
Speaker 1: A positive pod. I think maybe go ahead will.

973
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:28,559
Speaker 3: Could this season go so awride though that I don't know.

974
00:53:28,679 --> 00:53:30,800
Kobe Sanders gets enough minutes to put up a forty

975
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:31,320
ball at some.

976
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: Point, Yeah, I think it could go that arry we lose,

977
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,519
we lose by twelve, and Kobe Sanders has like forty four.

978
00:53:40,639 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 2: And Bone should have a forty ball.

979
00:53:43,679 --> 00:53:46,159
Speaker 1: Bone should have had a lot. Bone should have had

980
00:53:46,199 --> 00:53:48,440
a lot more than what I think Bone's gonna end

981
00:53:48,519 --> 00:53:52,639
up with, which is sad. All right, Well, maybe we'll

982
00:53:52,679 --> 00:53:58,079
do a podcast on Monday. If they lose tomorrow, I

983
00:53:58,159 --> 00:54:02,000
might hop on the Live Drunk from watching Griz Cat

984
00:54:05,639 --> 00:54:07,639
life will be pain if they because they're gonna lose

985
00:54:07,679 --> 00:54:10,679
at least one of these games. They're splitting this back

986
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:11,079
to back.

987
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's hope.

988
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I should say at the very least they're splitting

989
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,159
this back to back? All right? They have they have

990
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,440
to see That's why I think do they?

991
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:28,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

992
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,639
Speaker 1: I mean that in the most nihilistic way? Do they?

993
00:54:32,079 --> 00:54:34,320
Speaker 2: When you're four and eleven? I don't know if you

994
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,039
can have any guaranteed wins?

995
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 1: Do they have to split it? Has the team ever

996
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:49,920
traded the whole roster? We could have like thirty six

997
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:58,599
second round picks. You package twelve of those? All right,

998
00:54:59,119 --> 00:55:01,760
everything's all to say, everything's on the table. We're gonna

999
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,679
do anything. We're gonna go on Patreon talking about John

1000
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:08,079
Deere being not what it used to be. Thank you

1001
00:55:08,159 --> 00:55:10,519
for hanging out on the live If you're listening to this.

1002
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,760
We're not gonna put an ad break in it, because

1003
00:55:14,119 --> 00:55:18,880
who cares at this point? Well, can people review this

1004
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:19,920
podcast anywhere?

1005
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 3: Yeah? You know where to do it.

1006
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 1: Everyone knows. We all know what to do, and hopefully

1007
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:25,920
the Clippers know what to do. Stop turning the ball over.

1008
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:27,480
Make a damn shot.

1009
00:55:27,599 --> 00:55:28,960
Speaker 3: You know what to do, now do it.

1010
00:55:29,119 --> 00:55:31,679
Speaker 1: Now do it. It's the best advice of parents ever given.

1011
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:31,840
Speaker 2: You.

1012
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,199
Speaker 1: Thank you everyone to hung out in the chat. We

1013
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:38,920
appreciate everybody. It was very fun. We will be back

1014
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,079
at some point. We're gonna be a little spotty. Next

1015
00:55:41,079 --> 00:55:44,159
week there's a dinner oriented holiday that we have to

1016
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:47,920
all prepare for. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Keep

1017
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,199
it fun, keep it safe, and I have a great holiday.

1018
00:55:51,599 --> 00:55:54,119
Have more fun than the clippers. Just do that and

1019
00:55:54,159 --> 00:55:57,440
you will feel better. Thank you everybody. Bye.
