Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans? Welcome to the postgame

00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,399
hang at YouTube dot com slash at Clippers podcast. After

3
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,800
the Clippers lose a really what became a really weird

4
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,640
game vibe wise to the Lakers. They lose one two,

5
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:37,640
played heroically, played hard until the very end before I'm

6
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:39,960
Chuck Walckler. If you're listening to this and you miss

00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:41,799
the stream, you can always find us at YouTube dot

8
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,960
com slash at Clippers podcast. Like I said, William Updyke

9
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:48,359
should be on. Adam is doing Clippers talk. He might

10
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:53,679
pop onto, But first off, just hope John Collins is

11
00:00:53,679 --> 00:00:57,560
doing okay. Collins took a huge fall in the second

12
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,399
quarter of this game. Right towards the end of the half.

13
00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:04,840
Jackson Hayes was backing up. Collins went up for the dunk.

14
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,760
He took a he took a hard fall. We hope

15
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:10,760
he's doing okay. He was wabbling to the locker room

16
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:15,280
so like it was just kind of scary vibes. So yeah,

17
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:23,640
he he was ruled out for that game. Tyler said,

18
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,920
that doesn't look like an effing team that's trying to lose.

19
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,599
To me into some pregame promis about the season is over.

20
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:35,680
I hope these Kawhi comments don't become something overblown, because

21
00:01:35,719 --> 00:01:38,719
I feel like Kawhi has been talking about the contender

22
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:41,560
thing and then now Tylusman asked about it like twice,

23
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,959
which is weird. Yeah, prayers up for John Collins. Hope

24
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,920
he's doing okay. Kawhi also hurt at the end of

25
00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:53,200
this game. He was ruled out with left ankle soreness

26
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,439
with like four minutes to go in the fourth. He

27
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,239
finished with thirty one points. He looked incredible. He was

28
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,200
obviously a large reason of why the Clippers were in

29
00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:03,560
this game. Betedict Matherne was great too. We're gonna talk

30
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,359
about all that, but this game was weird, Like, this

31
00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:13,240
game had really weird things that didn't break the Clippers way.

32
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,319
The John Collins thing was scary, and we hope he's okay.

33
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:23,039
The Kawhi thing is frustrating because that's just how it goes.

34
00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:28,719
Tyler didn't really hold back on the press or all

35
00:02:28,719 --> 00:02:31,960
the refs at all. He said, when you're falbating the

36
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,319
whole game, it's tough. These guys are already great players.

37
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:39,439
We did everything we could. Yeah, yeah, I kind of

38
00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:55,719
went in Yeah man, Yeah, Tyler was really upset. Yeah,

39
00:02:55,719 --> 00:02:58,360
it is overblown. I'm actually gonna stop giving it credence

40
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,520
because it's just like it's whatever. They're still trying to

41
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:06,840
win games. Obviously, this this game was weird tonight. It

42
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:09,319
felt like house money. But the Clippers still needed wins

43
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,360
and we all disliked the Lakers. They were down seven

44
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,120
and a half. The Lakers had like the best first

45
00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:19,520
quarter of shooting all year in this game. They shot

46
00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:24,840
like sixty percent from the floor in the first quarter.

47
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,039
Like the fact the Clippers are able to battle back.

48
00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:31,800
I think it's a testament to how off both defenses

49
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:39,840
were too, Like the Lakers defense was rough. Obviously. Yes,

50
00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:42,680
Stump is saying Ben Mathern is legit future All Star

51
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:49,000
sign him. It's a fun experience so far, Like he

52
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:54,759
gets free throw at times, he can make things happen.

53
00:03:54,879 --> 00:03:59,159
He talked shit to Jamal Murray before Jamal Murray took

54
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:02,319
those free throws. The bet I'm all in on the

55
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:08,039
bed Maathron experience. It's rat as hell. Sorry, I'm just

56
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:11,919
trying to pull some stats from the first quarter. I

57
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:16,759
hate sometimes you know, his NBA box scores, It's like,

58
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:24,480
what are we doing here? Load them. Yeah, so Tyler

59
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,639
is hot, which makes sense. The rest it was rough

60
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,879
in this game. They did everything they could. There was

61
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:37,319
one like, yeah, Mathron is the man. I can't wait

62
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,000
to watch when Garland comes back, when this team is

63
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,759
at full strength. It's gonna be really fun to watch.

64
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,639
Still again, Kauhi had thirty one. Mathron had twenty six,

65
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,879
fourteen free throws. Getting this many free throws is so

66
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,959
useful for this Clippers team. The fact that math is

67
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,079
able to do that. I have to give a shout

68
00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:04,639
out to brook Lopez. John Collins before he got hurt

69
00:05:04,759 --> 00:05:10,920
was playing great brook Lopez. Like the Clippers needed brook

70
00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:13,279
Lopez is non three point offense to start this one,

71
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,480
and he was great. He had like I think he

72
00:05:14,519 --> 00:05:16,519
scored the first five points or something for the Clips

73
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,040
ten boards like Dryshon' Junior played like the guys played

74
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:26,800
really well. Everyone played really well. But the Lakers is

75
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,040
shot incredibly well in the first quarter, which was a

76
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,079
huge boost. And then the refs like it was a lot.

77
00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:38,720
I mean, it was frustrating. I don't know Matthron getting

78
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,800
fourteen free throws, I don't know how much the refs

79
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,879
really lost this one. Yeah, if healthy we won. This

80
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:48,160
was a game that the margins. The margins were already

81
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,959
really thin and losing John Collins is huge, and again

82
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,319
they lost him right before half. It's like you go

83
00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:57,000
into half with this weird thing that kind of happened,

84
00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:01,560
and you're losing a guy who's contributing a lot. Obviously,

85
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,120
someone's asking, what does my hat say? It says Tony's

86
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:10,879
Redondo Beach Pier. There's a restaurant in Redondo Beach called Tony's.

87
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,759
It has a restaurant on the pier, and then a

88
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,079
thing called Top of Tony's, which is like a crow's

89
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,639
nest style lighthouse bar, and it's delicious. Go to Top

90
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:24,279
of Tony's if you're ever in Redondo Beach and they're

91
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:30,560
not paying me for that. Yeah. Again, just a weird game.

92
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,040
It's great that we won the Denver game again, a

93
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:41,439
game where Mathroom was fantastic. Kawhi was one of seven

94
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,439
in that Denver game, but the fact that Mathern's able

95
00:06:43,439 --> 00:06:45,040
to get to the three, get to the free throw

96
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:49,240
line helps offset that, which is awesome. Collins played great,

97
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,480
like this is just it was just another offensively really

98
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,199
good basketball game. Defensively, it was difficult, but it was

99
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,360
always kind of going to be difficult, especially with center rotation. Again,

100
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,800
the defense was fine, it's just hard with what we

101
00:07:07,879 --> 00:07:11,720
have now. Man, Yeah, this box score is frustrating to

102
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:20,879
look at. Mathrone found out. It's just difficult. Like just

103
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:27,040
a weird game though. Yeah, great call Matherne and mcghetti

104
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:34,399
with a similar kind of build. That's a good call. Yeah,

105
00:07:34,439 --> 00:07:37,040
the Clippers were missing that third breakout score they needed.

106
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,759
It's yeah and yeah, and then just the momentum swings

107
00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:43,360
were really hard to deal with. I think that on

108
00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:45,560
the second hand of a back to back it's kind

109
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,279
of herky jerky with the reviews and all that stuff.

110
00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:54,399
So but they played hard, right, Like that's what I mean.

111
00:07:54,439 --> 00:08:04,240
They lost with dignity, Like that's a plot. Pedro Rosado

112
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:07,399
asking why is Kobe getting DNPS. I was texting about

113
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:09,279
this with Joseph fry Award and we were kind of

114
00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:12,480
wondering why, Like we know Jordan Miller's older, but when

115
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,439
not get Kobe those minutes, it's a little weird. I

116
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,720
do think that that'll probably change, right, Like, we have

117
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,959
a rotating center rotating. We have three centers right now

118
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,439
in the rotation. You know what I'm saying, Like, I

119
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:31,959
think that'll probably change. I think Kobe will get time,

120
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,240
but they are still trying to win games. I guess.

121
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:38,360
So it's I mean, Kobe and Jordan Miller are the

122
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:40,240
ones who are kind of their spots, are the ones

123
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,519
who are up for grabs. So I bet we'll see hopefully,

124
00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:47,799
I should say hopefully, but I bet we will see

125
00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:55,120
some Kobe Sanders minutes switching out for Jordan Miller's Niko

126
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,799
my cousin is here saying, I'm back to back against

127
00:08:57,799 --> 00:09:00,159
the team coming back fresh from the break. That's tough. Yea,

128
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,600
it is very tough. They they played hard, they did.

129
00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:11,600
I wanted the win too, JJ is saying, They'll be honest, damn,

130
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:14,600
I wanted this win. Yeah, I mean I wanted the

131
00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:18,799
win for sure, But getting the win against the Nuggets

132
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,080
the way we did was great. Shout out to the wall.

133
00:09:23,159 --> 00:09:27,720
The wall was legitimately a help, very helpful in the

134
00:09:27,759 --> 00:09:35,320
game against the Nuggets. That was awesome to see. Yeah,

135
00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:37,879
I haven't heard about Bogey in a long time. Yeah,

136
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,039
I don't know. He's just kind of in stay ready mode.

137
00:09:40,039 --> 00:09:43,919
I guess I do. Yeah, Sanders is ahead of Bogey

138
00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:52,639
in the rotation. So that's good. Yeah, Access Entertainment Production

139
00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:55,279
saying the rest did the Clippers dirty? That was a factory. Yeah,

140
00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:04,159
Tyler was hot about it. In the post game, John

141
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:09,159
Collins just an update from Justin Russo said that in

142
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,879
the locker room he feels okay, but he has some

143
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:17,320
stitches above his left eyebrow. Yeah, he was leaking. That

144
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,039
was a rough I don't know. I'm cautious about this stuff.

145
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:27,480
He should probably sit out on Sunday. That would probably

146
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:35,320
be a good call. Excuse me. Matthron looked good, but

147
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,720
his defense's lapses are prevalent. Still love the aggression of effort. Yeah,

148
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,600
I mean, we'll take what we can get right now,

149
00:10:40,639 --> 00:10:45,000
Like he's coming off the bench. We need his scoring,

150
00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:52,399
like he gets boards. And the lineups defensively, there's some

151
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,639
difficult lineups for him to play in. If you don't

152
00:10:54,639 --> 00:10:59,600
have a good center, he's gonna look worse defensively. Everyone does.

153
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,759
But I think you know what I mean, Like that's

154
00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:04,360
not an excuse, but the lineups are kind of difficult.

155
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,000
Like if he was out there with some better centers, defensively,

156
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:15,759
I think it look okay. Someone's asking was the Kauhi

157
00:11:15,759 --> 00:11:21,039
thing precautionary waiting on postgame quotes for it right now.

158
00:11:24,639 --> 00:11:26,840
I don't know. I don't know. The game was close

159
00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:28,840
when he got taken out, you know what I mean,

160
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,080
Like he wasn't he was taken out when it was

161
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:38,200
a still a winnable game. Yeah, it was some. It

162
00:11:38,279 --> 00:11:42,879
was some late calls, definitely, some late calls has made

163
00:11:42,879 --> 00:11:50,759
it frustrating. Wanted this one. Whoever said that earlier, I

164
00:11:50,799 --> 00:11:56,159
totally feel you. I wanted this one. It is frustrating.

165
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,879
But that went against the Nuggets was pretty nice. Direct

166
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,200
Junior had a good kind of He's been carrying his

167
00:12:02,279 --> 00:12:05,360
momentum from right at the end of the or before

168
00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:08,840
the All Star Break to now, which is great. The

169
00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:11,279
Denver game is nuts because the Clipper shot twenty four

170
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:15,720
percent from three and still one. So it's like, maybe

171
00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:17,519
we weren't supposed to win that one. We were supposed

172
00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:20,120
to win this one. Splitting this back to back is

173
00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:31,200
great out of the All Star break, but Enski saying

174
00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:33,879
genuinely curious, what's curious what happens at the center position

175
00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:36,000
in the offseason. Brook's been better, but I don't think

176
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,919
he can sustain this for that long term. No, Brook

177
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,039
is not a long term center. He's thirty something, right,

178
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,919
he's thirty seven. He's not a long term center at all.

179
00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:48,039
No disrespect to Brook. We needed him tonight. He was

180
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:55,039
good tonight, but offensively. M yeah, this is no they're

181
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,960
trying to It's like a rotating thing right now. Isaiah

182
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,679
Jackson's gonna get of minutes. Like we've heard ty talked

183
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,879
about that the other day. It's weird. It's not my favorite,

184
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:12,480
but yeah, Derek Jone Junior, he's kind of like the

185
00:13:12,519 --> 00:13:15,399
new Norm Powell. Norm Powell was always like I mean,

186
00:13:15,399 --> 00:13:18,519
Norm Powell took a huge elbow to the head. As

187
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:23,039
a Clipper, you kind of get the shit kicked out

188
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,960
of you if you're a role player for the Clippers,

189
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,879
like you are going to take a harsh fall at

190
00:13:28,919 --> 00:13:38,320
some point, which is not good. Man. I cannot stress

191
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:45,279
how upset Tyler was. Let me bring this up. Actually,

192
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:55,759
he's just not excited. He is so pissed off.

193
00:14:00,759 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: Coah has been dealing with some left ankles soreness, so

194
00:14:04,039 --> 00:14:07,080
I got stiff on them. So we got him out

195
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,080
and jac still being evaluated.

196
00:14:11,799 --> 00:14:19,039
Speaker 1: MH. What did you like from your team in the fight,

197
00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:22,600
especially losing Kawhi and just scrapping together on the second

198
00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:23,480
night of a back to back.

199
00:14:23,559 --> 00:14:25,919
Speaker 2: You saw, you saw. That's who we are, you know.

200
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,240
So you know this group, we're gonna compete, We're gonna

201
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,960
fight every night. And that is like a fucking team

202
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,279
that's trying to lose to me every night.

203
00:14:34,519 --> 00:14:38,759
Speaker 1: And damn way to go, Tyler.

204
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: You know, goes out being you know, fouls out and

205
00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:44,360
guys are still scrambling and competing and had a chance

206
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:44,840
to tie it up.

207
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: You know, that's rad as hell. No one is giving

208
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:53,080
up on this team. It's awesome. I liked one of

209
00:14:53,159 --> 00:14:54,840
the things I liked. I think this happened in the

210
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,159
Denver game is there is a bit of a scrap,

211
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,000
but it was Yannick and someone else for the for

212
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,639
the Nuggets, and Mathern came in and backed him up.

213
00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:07,200
I love the chemistry that the team has been able

214
00:15:07,279 --> 00:15:12,519
to maintain with new guys. Matherine seems crazy in a

215
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,120
good way. I mean that, I want to be clear

216
00:15:15,159 --> 00:15:18,919
on that, Like all the guys are doing the little

217
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,200
things like Mathern got an offensive board off of a

218
00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:27,000
John Collins free throw tonight, and like to have every

219
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,720
guy who's kind of making those extra effort plays is

220
00:15:30,799 --> 00:15:33,480
really awesome to see. And I think Tyler in that

221
00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:37,720
post game that is the vibe like that's they don't

222
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:43,399
want to lose, They're not playing to lose. Yeah, fired

223
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,559
up after that. You gotta feel good after seeing Tyler

224
00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:48,440
say that. Stump, thank you for the super chat saying

225
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,279
if Kauhi is load managing this Sunday, let Mathern start.

226
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,120
We need to see him as a starter at full capability.

227
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,960
Future two way all start the off season. Next season

228
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,840
is gonna be interesting because we have to assume the

229
00:15:58,879 --> 00:16:01,679
starting lineup is probably gonna be I mean, like, we'll

230
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,840
talk about that when we get there. It's exciting. I'm

231
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,240
very excited for what this team's gonna look like at

232
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,960
full strength. Have I said that five thousand times before? Yes?

233
00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:20,240
Am I ready to say it again obviously. Yeah. I

234
00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:26,720
like seeing ty Lou fired up. That's good stuff. He

235
00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:29,480
also mentioned i't know if people caught that the ankle

236
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:36,720
had some stiffness, some soreness. So that's where we're at

237
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:47,240
on that. We hope he's okay. Yeah, math that's the

238
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,519
other part with Matherin. If once you have, if you

239
00:16:49,519 --> 00:16:53,360
have Mathron next to Done, Derek Jones Jr. And Kawhi

240
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,679
and then another center, like a center that's better at

241
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,480
defense than Lopezrianic. It's it's not bad like it can

242
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:03,399
be moved around. No team will be perfect. We are

243
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:12,880
getting ahead of ourselves. Yeah, there's a lot of what

244
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,799
IF's with this game. It's frustrating. You want to get

245
00:17:15,799 --> 00:17:21,920
the win. Miriam Swatson sending her well wishes, saying, I

246
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,759
hope Kawi is okay. Dude's been the best player in

247
00:17:23,799 --> 00:17:27,440
the NBA the last few weeks. Absolutely, I think we

248
00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:37,079
all kind of share that sentiment. What I like about this.

249
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,759
Someone commented, hope this sticks with the young guys. Math

250
00:17:42,839 --> 00:17:45,920
Yana had some lapses too. I think it will Yanni

251
00:17:46,039 --> 00:17:51,440
had a couple, Oh he's a rookie moves or situations

252
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:56,160
in the game against the Lakers, he could have he

253
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,559
could have done. He missed a dunk or dunk opportunity.

254
00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:05,799
I should excuse me a dunk opportunity he had. Lebron flopped,

255
00:18:05,839 --> 00:18:09,759
But if you're a rookie, you can't elbow Lebron like that. Like,

256
00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:15,000
I know it's annoying that Lebron flopped, but but you

257
00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:19,599
can't elbow Lebron if you're a rookie anyway. Yeah, there

258
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,839
was just a couple of growing pain things from the

259
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,640
Ontic in this game. Yeah, it was the illegal screen,

260
00:18:25,799 --> 00:18:30,599
thank you, Ali Maleik. It was the illegal screen, which

261
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:39,480
was an illegal screen. It's frustrating. Yeah, JJ saying a

262
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,640
love Lopez. Yeah, he's way tougher than Zoo. I don't

263
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:49,119
know what that means. He was good tonight. He was

264
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,119
solid against the He had two really good plays against

265
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,279
the Nuggets right in a row, like made a stop

266
00:18:54,319 --> 00:18:57,359
on Jokic, I think got a dunk, like when he

267
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,480
plays within the three point line. It's been very helpful

268
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:07,400
for the clips. Derek Joe Junior was good tonight. Eight

269
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,079
boards is what I really like from DJ. College was

270
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,559
crashing the boards against the Nuggets too, which is awesome. So,

271
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,960
I mean, all of these guys are doing the extra thing.

272
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,720
Ryan Rohass is asking which mariner is on your mug Griffy. Yes,

273
00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:27,640
this is a Ken Griffy Junior mug. Uh. It's pretty sick.

274
00:19:28,039 --> 00:19:31,079
It's got his stats on the back, pre typing God

275
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:37,519
his gift. Yeah, Yoani's gonna learn like it's his first year.

276
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:44,920
It's not. And you hope we see some steady defensive

277
00:19:45,079 --> 00:19:48,359
improvement on defense as this year goes on, because he's

278
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:53,319
got good guys to learn from. Obviously. Yeah, the offense,

279
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,240
I'm not as obviously that's not I don't think we

280
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,000
should be as concerned about the offense as you are

281
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:05,759
the defense. And we just have to hope it evens out. Yeah,

282
00:20:05,799 --> 00:20:09,319
people really did not like the ESPN commentators this was

283
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,240
this game was on fan Duel or whatever. I watched

284
00:20:12,319 --> 00:20:20,000
the Brian Stephen commentary. No one liked. No one liked

285
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,720
those commentators at all. Eric we was tweeting about it too.

286
00:20:24,319 --> 00:20:26,519
Speaking of which, did the Chuck drawing come out yet?

287
00:20:28,039 --> 00:20:36,400
I hope? I think that's gonna be good. Someone was

288
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,240
making a comment about yeah, yeah, yeah, Abeam said this

289
00:20:40,319 --> 00:20:44,160
team is showing why we need Garland back instantly. Yeah Garland.

290
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,359
There's la Murray kind of alluded to him coming back

291
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,599
in March, which I think makes sense. If you watch

292
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,279
that clip from practice, he's still walking a little. There

293
00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:01,759
is pure armchair doctoring. He's walked a little gingerly on

294
00:21:02,039 --> 00:21:05,960
that toe, and I did that just means like the recovery,

295
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,440
it's fine. I want him to be one hundred percent

296
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:15,240
when he gets back, and so it's like, if that

297
00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:16,880
takes a little bit of time, I think that's okay.

298
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,400
It's a long term play. He signed for two more

299
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:29,640
seasons after this frustrating loss. Noble, but frustrating loss for

300
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:34,640
sure for this Clips team. Marcus Smart had a stupid

301
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,720
late run in this game. He didn't score like an

302
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,440
all that he scored like five points late. That was

303
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:45,960
super frustrating. Luke Canard, Okay, I have some stat. Luke

304
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,920
Carnard's on the Lakers, and when Luke Canard got signed,

305
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,359
they were like, oh, they finally got a shooter. Luke

306
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,519
Canard doesn't shoot the ball. Draymond Green is taking more

307
00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:58,240
threes per game than Luke Canard by like one more

308
00:21:58,319 --> 00:22:02,799
three per game. It's such a funny thing. It doesn't

309
00:22:02,839 --> 00:22:11,400
make any sense. Yes, it does not make sense at all.

310
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:21,119
But the Clippers move on to the Magic on Sunday. Yeah,

311
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,880
I don't think anyone's saying Tyler was holding the team back.

312
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,400
He's very fired up. I think the post game was

313
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:35,480
great from him tonight. Josie cares. It's a frustrating loss,

314
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,799
and again, Kawhi was playing fantastic. The Mather and experience

315
00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:43,319
has been great though. That has been very refreshing, and

316
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,279
I'm very excited for when Garland and him and again

317
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,319
Kawhi can share the floor together because offensively, that's gonna

318
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,960
be a lot of fun. I don't get the Tyler

319
00:22:55,079 --> 00:22:59,640
hate today either. I think people people want to be

320
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:05,759
Malcolm tense. They want to be upset about something. Ryan

321
00:23:05,839 --> 00:23:08,960
Rojas says, what seed do you realistic see the Clippers

322
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,319
at the end of the season. I think they could

323
00:23:10,319 --> 00:23:12,319
get eighth other than the thunder, I think they could

324
00:23:12,319 --> 00:23:17,480
play a first round spoiler. Well, I don't know, because

325
00:23:17,519 --> 00:23:21,240
after tonight we don't know. Kawhi has a new knock,

326
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,000
which is frustrating. There are two games out of eighth

327
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,519
after the plan. Could they finish eighth, Yeah, I think so,

328
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:36,720
But I think standing wise, eight, nine to ten are

329
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,480
pretty close. The Blazers are only two and a half

330
00:23:41,559 --> 00:23:46,400
games out of eighth and a half game out of ninth,

331
00:23:46,559 --> 00:23:49,559
So I don't know. It's gonna be really weird March.

332
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,079
And I know if you listen to the show, you

333
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,640
know that I talk about this kind of a lot.

334
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:55,240
There's a lot of games in March. There's a lot

335
00:23:55,279 --> 00:23:57,160
of back to backs. Someone pointed out earlier in the

336
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,599
stream that the Clippers have like five more back to

337
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,400
backs or something like that, And so that makes me

338
00:24:04,519 --> 00:24:06,559
weary what this team's gonna look like down the stretch

339
00:24:06,599 --> 00:24:08,519
because last year they had to go on an incredible

340
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,839
run to finish where they did, and they I don't

341
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,000
know where that run would even put them, you know

342
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,240
what I mean, Like it's I don't know, it's I

343
00:24:18,279 --> 00:24:20,680
think they're going to be hanging out in the in

344
00:24:20,759 --> 00:24:26,400
the eight nine spot and they'll just be in the plane. Yeah,

345
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:31,720
they got a five and seven. Oh after the plan

346
00:24:31,799 --> 00:24:33,839
they finished seventh. Yeah, sure, I think in the plan,

347
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:39,599
it's like, yeah, let's go. Garland's healthy, Like, yeah, that's

348
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:50,039
definitely feasible. Yeah, just putting people on timeout. It's a

349
00:24:50,079 --> 00:24:52,039
fun time. We lose the Lakers and I put people

350
00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:57,880
on timeout on YouTube. That's what happens. Man. What an

351
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,200
effort from the guys tonight is fun basketball to watch.

352
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,400
Matherne is insane, which is great in a fun way.

353
00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:10,880
Just lost his mind against the Nuggets for his home debut.

354
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:16,920
Like it's feeling the building blocks are there, right, Like

355
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,400
I think we're getting we're getting signs that we were

356
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,319
all excited about the trades. Like maybe like excited we

357
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:28,519
all could understand why the trades happened. And the one

358
00:25:28,559 --> 00:25:30,319
part of one part of the big trade looks good

359
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,799
so far, right, Like, hey, Matthrone looks like something that

360
00:25:32,839 --> 00:25:36,279
can definitely be a piece. Like he picked up where

361
00:25:36,279 --> 00:25:38,200
he left off in terms of playing well when he

362
00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:42,279
wasn't Indian we got the picks. It's like, yeah, all right,

363
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:47,279
there's a lot of reasons to be optimistic right now. Yes,

364
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:51,240
Tyler gave the game away. They lost our three. Man,

365
00:25:51,839 --> 00:25:54,599
I don't know. I don't know if you can give

366
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,519
the game away losing by three and losing someone like

367
00:25:56,599 --> 00:26:01,559
John Collins at halftime to a freak concussion. There's other

368
00:26:01,599 --> 00:26:12,319
things to be upset about. Would like to I really

369
00:26:12,319 --> 00:26:17,039
hope they get to win on Sunday. That would be

370
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,640
nice because they play. Yeah, they have the five and

371
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,000
seven coming up. They have a really annoying back to back.

372
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:33,799
At least it's not too far. Yeah. Yeah, but Tom

373
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,680
was a little I mean, he only had two shots,

374
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,640
So what are you gonna do but tough loss. Love

375
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,799
to see the effort, love to see the guys respond

376
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,720
to some weird things. That happened, and the reps it

377
00:26:46,759 --> 00:26:50,799
was difficult, just some some Ticki Taki calls and some

378
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,079
late calls. I am going to head out. Thank you

379
00:26:53,079 --> 00:26:55,519
to everyone for hanging out. The Clippers split the back

380
00:26:55,559 --> 00:26:58,880
to back, which we could be happy about. We're waiting

381
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,680
more news about Kahi, which is frustrating. I think it's

382
00:27:03,759 --> 00:27:05,200
kind of a thing of we shouldn't have won the

383
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,279
game against the Nuggets and we should have won the

384
00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:10,319
game against the Lakers, and it got cosmically switched. Whatever.

385
00:27:10,759 --> 00:27:13,839
We split the back to back. Let's hope they win

386
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,799
on Sunday. Let's hope Kauhai is okay. John Collins should

387
00:27:16,799 --> 00:27:20,759
probably sit out. That's what I think. If you're listening

388
00:27:20,799 --> 00:27:22,440
to this, we're gonna put this out later. Thank you
