1
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:15,519
Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans, Welcome to a pretty

2
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:21,719
impromptu clips in dip. I guess end of weekend live hang.

3
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:25,559
I am Chuck Mockler, Adam positively upt like might join.

4
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,760
We just wanted to get something out for you ahead

5
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,479
of Clippers back to back starting on Monday against the

6
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,200
Heat and of the Thunder on Tuesday. Pretty difficult back

7
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,079
to back. If you're listening to this, I'm gonna put

8
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:42,759
this out on audio after kind of the live hang

9
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,079
and you want to catch one of these hangs is

10
00:00:45,119 --> 00:00:48,079
at YouTube dot com. Flish at Clippers podcast. It's a

11
00:00:48,119 --> 00:00:51,320
fun time. It was a very busy week for LA

12
00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:54,719
sports in general. The Dodgers won the greatest World Series

13
00:00:54,759 --> 00:00:56,560
in a very long time, which was great. So I

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,880
am moving slow today. But the Clipper scott a win

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,799
against the Pelicans on Halloween and what was kind of

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:13,159
a terrifying game of basketball, an incredible offensive effort from

17
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,959
Kawhi and James Harden. Obviously there was a late blunder

18
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,879
that almost ruined that whole thing. But I don't know,

19
00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:24,680
I'll take any win against the Pels. I guess I

20
00:01:24,719 --> 00:01:28,359
don't know if that's the craziest thing, but Tyler's like

21
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,120
six and twelve against them as Clippers coach, so it's

22
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:38,120
always a nightmare against the Pelicans. Tyleru postgame talked about,

23
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,319
you know, the defense was being too aggressive or I

24
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,519
guess not being too aggressive. He said, the defense is

25
00:01:43,519 --> 00:01:46,959
trying to be aggressive and cause turnovers, which is a

26
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,760
fine line to tow. The free throws in the second

27
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:52,079
half against the Pels it was twenty three to seven

28
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,560
in favor of the Pelicans. That is something I will

29
00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:59,079
be worried about in the thunder game and the Heat game.

30
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,439
We're gonna get to that in a bit, But I

31
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,400
don't know. I guess it's nice that the Clippers right

32
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,000
able to battle back after letting the Pels into that one.

33
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,599
Derek Jo Junior made some key plays. He's having an

34
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:15,120
awesome start in the season. But yeah, I don't think

35
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:18,199
any of us will will take any win against the Pelicans.

36
00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:22,400
For granted, it's a goddamn nightmare playing that team. But

37
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,639
the Clippers head into this upcoming back to back with

38
00:02:25,719 --> 00:02:29,639
Kawhi playing in the back to backs. Kawhi has said

39
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:36,599
there's no restrictions on his availability, which I would assume

40
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,719
means he's going to be playing in this upcoming back

41
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:43,840
to back, which is kind of a trip. I don't know.

42
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,919
I guess I thought it would be a bigger deal.

43
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,520
But also I can see the talking heads not wanting

44
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,080
to talk about it because it goes against their narrative

45
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,120
that he does not play basketball or does not want

46
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:01,599
to play basketball. I guess it's exciting that Kawhi is

47
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,479
playing back to backs. Maybe this is me being kind

48
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,639
of nitpicking, but I wish it was a normal back

49
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,039
to back time they get the late. We have an

50
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,319
eight pm game on Tuesday. Maybe that's just my age showing,

51
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,639
but that would mess my routine up. I feel like

52
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,159
I feel like the eight pm start for my first

53
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:22,120
back to back in a minute would mess me up.

54
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,199
Punk's gone wrong is in the chat saying I feel

55
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,599
CP three old age is showing. Yeah, it definitely is showing.

56
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,199
Adam and I talked about that and Will a little

57
00:03:35,199 --> 00:03:42,039
bit last week. Yeah, when when the when the other

58
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,360
team just kind of sends a blitz defender at him,

59
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,719
the age is showing for sure, and it crunches the

60
00:03:48,759 --> 00:03:51,439
rest of the lineup in a bench heavy lineup, which

61
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:54,159
can be difficult. So maybe but that maybe that's just

62
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,080
him playing into shape. We are an old team. They

63
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,120
will have to play themselves into shape. That shape ends

64
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:05,280
up being we hope it's the right shape at the

65
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:08,159
right time. But yeah, slow starts of the season for

66
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,919
CP three, and I guess that's how you can frame

67
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,639
it if you want to be a little more optimistic,

68
00:04:12,759 --> 00:04:15,800
right like we can. We're five games in. I think

69
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,319
we can still frame it as them getting warm, right.

70
00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:22,120
We can frame some of this effort five games in

71
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:27,959
to them kind of getting used to it. Things might

72
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,319
be different fifteen to twenty games in. We can talk

73
00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:34,399
about that then, But right now I'm chalking up some

74
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:38,560
of it to their old It's kind of like a

75
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,120
lot more when you go out of private a couple

76
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,120
of times, you know, get that going, and they're they're

77
00:04:44,959 --> 00:04:47,639
they're getting there. They're still getting there. They were gonna

78
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,079
hit this season running. But the young guys, young ish

79
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,079
newer guys have hit the season running. I've loved how

80
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,839
John Collins has started this season. Derek Jones Junior, as

81
00:04:57,879 --> 00:05:02,680
I mentioned, just ergy pops. Yes, they're not going against

82
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,560
a bunch of other energy pops in terms of that competition,

83
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:11,000
but we need all of it. But yeah, Kawhi is

84
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,040
playing in I'm assuming he's gonna be playing in the

85
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,920
back to backs. Clean injury report for the game against

86
00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:18,720
the Heat. Beal's gonna get a chance to kind of

87
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,120
get into more of a rhythm. There more chance to

88
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:27,319
hopefully get smare field goal attempts. Uh. Yeah, I don't

89
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:32,040
should I be overwhelmingly excited about Kawhi playing the back

90
00:05:32,079 --> 00:05:35,879
to backs. I'm tepidly excited. He's looked great movement wise

91
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,040
to open the season. He's obviously coming off a huge

92
00:05:38,079 --> 00:05:41,560
game and the game winner against the Pels on Halloween.

93
00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:46,079
I guess I'm more curious to see how this looks.

94
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,560
This is a difficult back to back. This is a

95
00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:51,839
pain in the ass of a back to back that

96
00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:55,680
the Clippers have early in the season. Yes, we get

97
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,519
the Heat on the second night of a back to back.

98
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,240
That's good. They are playing the night that I'm recording

99
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:07,439
this against the Lakers. Norm is not playing against the Lakers.

100
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,160
That's gonna be his third miss game of the row

101
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:12,279
for the Heat, So that remains to be seen. If

102
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:18,079
he makes an appearance on the third against the Clippers

103
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,560
and then they get the Thunder on Tuesday, who are

104
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:23,959
six and er as of this recording, and are not

105
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:30,319
playing very good offense. So that's a little terrifying. Yeah,

106
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,439
what's up BONESOT twenty eight. If you want to watch

107
00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:35,920
our old episodes in the off season where we review dip,

108
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:39,120
go check them out. We have some pretty good recipes

109
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,600
on there. If you're new to the pod, we talk

110
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:45,000
about chips and dip in the off season. Currently, it's

111
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,720
actual basketball, thank god. And I don't think there's any

112
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,160
new investigations that have dropped on the Clippers. Maybe there

113
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,120
will be when we do this live. I don't know,

114
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,879
but the Clippers have a difficult back to back coming up.

115
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,360
They play the Heat were fourth and net rating to

116
00:07:01,399 --> 00:07:06,040
open the season and first in pace, which I don't

117
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,360
necessarily feel super confident about given the Clippers, and I

118
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,959
know pace is different than just quite literally how fast

119
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,120
the team plays, but they get a lot of possessions

120
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:20,959
per game, and the Clippers transition defense is not good

121
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:28,279
or it's still working itself out. I should say, their

122
00:07:28,279 --> 00:07:30,879
top ten in field goal attempt so they're not super

123
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,160
pushing the scales their seventh, but they average the second

124
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:40,000
most point scored. It's gonna be tough. This is a team.

125
00:07:40,279 --> 00:07:43,560
If Norm is out, obviously things are different and he's

126
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,399
we don't know if Norm's gonna play. He's out the

127
00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:49,560
first night of their back to back tonight on Sunday,

128
00:07:50,839 --> 00:07:53,000
and he missed too. He missed another game before, two

129
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,560
other games before this, so like he's actually he's genuinely hurt,

130
00:07:56,399 --> 00:08:00,959
it seems. If Norm plays, I fully expect some kind

131
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:07,759
of terrifying display three from Norm Bow. I think we

132
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,279
can all agree on that everyone's healthy for the Clips,

133
00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:16,079
which is good kind of I guess. Speaking of Norm,

134
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,000
the Norm power replacement for the Clippers, Bradley Beal, I

135
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,959
want to see him get some more field goal attempts,

136
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,240
you know what I mean? That would be cool. H

137
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:28,319
It's not his fault. He had a kind of herky

138
00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:32,519
jerky start for this season. But a back to back

139
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,519
verse two good teams. I think it is a great

140
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,279
spot for Bradley Beal to show what he can do

141
00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:41,120
because we know what on paper is there for this

142
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:44,360
so would be awesome if for one of these games

143
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,960
Beal can kind of put together that first you know,

144
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,919
good performance. Joe is deaf saying Pablo is investigating my

145
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,879
dip recipe. He might very well will be and I

146
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,240
think we have it all documented. It's all above board.

147
00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:06,879
We got permission to share these recipes, you know legally.

148
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,360
I think that's really all I can say. I will

149
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,919
go on record. I'll defend any dip anyone's ever brought

150
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,519
up on this show. Oh, I'll do this three. You

151
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,840
know I'm worried about this heat game. I'm less worried

152
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,960
obviously if Norman Powell can't play. Uh. Wiggins is one

153
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,120
of those guys who people say, you know, is like

154
00:09:31,159 --> 00:09:34,840
a is a good Kawhi defender, and he has bothered

155
00:09:34,879 --> 00:09:38,360
Kawhi before. He is He's an annoyance to Kawhi Leonard

156
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,279
on the offensive end or the defensive you know what

157
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:47,559
I'm saying, when Kawhi is playing offense. So again, this

158
00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:50,600
is where kind of the there's no min instructions for

159
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,200
Kawhi in the back to back, So excited to see

160
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,720
that matchup. Bam has lit the Clippers up before. So

161
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:03,759
this is a good test for Zoo, who's had a

162
00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:06,559
fine start to the season. Again, we're early, We're not

163
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:10,080
taking too much away from everything. One thing we have

164
00:10:10,279 --> 00:10:12,360
we can take away from the season so far for

165
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:15,200
the Clippers is that they're giving teams chances of the

166
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,200
line in bunches. It feels like it feels like there's these,

167
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,480
you know, spikes of free throw attempts for the opposing team,

168
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,879
which is never ideal. And the Heat are a team

169
00:10:25,919 --> 00:10:30,600
that don't generate a lot of free throw attempts per game.

170
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,679
They're like twenty fifth right now in free throw attempts

171
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,480
per game, so we can't help them in that regard.

172
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,320
I would like them to not get it, you know.

173
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,080
I don't want to see another second half where we

174
00:10:44,159 --> 00:10:46,799
lose free throw attempts twenty three to seven, because the

175
00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:49,519
Heat are a lot better than the Pelicans. And if

176
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,679
we're on through any two quarters, if we're on some

177
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:59,039
kind of lopsided free throw attempt you know, total like that,

178
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,919
I don't think things are going very well. What's up,

179
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,360
Jimmy Williams, Thank you for hanging out in the live.

180
00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:10,120
They give up a ton of three point attempts, something

181
00:11:10,159 --> 00:11:13,399
the Clippers can pry at their Hopefully Zoo's making the

182
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,120
good decisions out of the short role. Hopefully. I think

183
00:11:17,159 --> 00:11:19,480
Derek Jones Junior will probably have some open looks when

184
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:27,000
he has looks to start this game. Yeah, man, Kawin Harden,

185
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,559
we're just so good on Halloween. I just hope that

186
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,919
shit carries over. The Heat also get a bunch of

187
00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:36,000
scoring from their bench, so I think there's been some

188
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,519
concern to open this season with the bench lineups, with

189
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,399
the bench heavy lineups. Obviously we saw bad things happen

190
00:11:45,159 --> 00:11:48,000
when Kawhi, Harden, and Zoo were all off the floor

191
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:52,720
at the same time. No one's surprised that that didn't

192
00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:56,919
go super well when we've seen that this season and

193
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,879
the small bits we've seen it. But either way, the

194
00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:03,360
Heat get a lot of scoring from their bench. Hakez

195
00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:07,600
and Fontacio are crucial for that for that bench lineup,

196
00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:11,519
So Tyler's staggering is gonna be interesting in this one

197
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,840
against the Thunder. I think we're gonna see Uh, Done

198
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,399
and Derek Jones Junior on the floor together a lot,

199
00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:24,360
and I wonder if we'll have to see it also

200
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:29,720
against the Heat because they just have physical bodies out there.

201
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,960
Joe is deaf saying I really like Done over Beal

202
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:37,480
the Done Zoo excuse me. The Dun Derek Joe Junior,

203
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,679
Zoo Claw hard lineup seems to be more in sync

204
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,879
and rhythm I think it seems to be that way

205
00:12:43,039 --> 00:12:47,200
because it is they've just played more basketball together for sure.

206
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:51,759
That's what's kind of difficult. I don't I don't want

207
00:12:51,759 --> 00:12:54,039
to say the Clippers have like a full roster crunch

208
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,159
right now, but to start the season they kind of

209
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,279
do a little bit right. They're trying to get Beeal

210
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,639
back into the swing of things. They were trying to

211
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:07,120
work Bogie back in. So I understand liking the look

212
00:13:07,159 --> 00:13:10,799
of that lineup that done Derek Jones, Junior Zoo why

213
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,120
and hardened lineup because it just looks like they are

214
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,240
much more comfortable, but they Tyler does have to figure

215
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,159
out how to work deal in there, So that is

216
00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:26,679
it's a frustrating thing to figure out. Maybe with the

217
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,159
back to back we see more of a concrete change

218
00:13:30,159 --> 00:13:33,279
at halftime if something isn't working, just to try and

219
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:38,679
get the win, because Adam wanted us to be seven

220
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,039
and three over the first ten and we're three and two,

221
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,639
so we got to tighten this shit up a little bit.

222
00:13:44,759 --> 00:13:48,600
So I understand that sentiment. Though Joe Chris Dunn has

223
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,159
played some great basketball to open the season, and yeah,

224
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,039
that the game against the heat is not easy. The

225
00:13:55,039 --> 00:13:58,960
game against the Thunder is also terrifying. We're playing them

226
00:13:59,039 --> 00:14:01,320
the second night of a back back. There's six of

227
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,559
er as of this recording. They're playing the Pels, then

228
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,519
they have an off day, and then they play the Clips,

229
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:10,279
and again we will be on the second night of

230
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:18,240
a back to back. I'm a little worried about this one.

231
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,360
I guess oh sorry, Yeah, they smoked the Pells today.

232
00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:26,399
They put up one thirty seven on the pills and

233
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,720
they're off tomorrow. Uh, and then they play the Clippers.

234
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,559
And their offense before this Pelicans game was not very

235
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,399
good ratings wise. It was the nineteenth raded offense. I'm

236
00:14:41,399 --> 00:14:45,600
sure that's gonna go up a spot or two during

237
00:14:45,639 --> 00:14:50,720
this but this is like they're not close to final

238
00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:54,840
form yet. They're percentage wise, they're one of the worst

239
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,879
three point shooting teams in the league. That's percentage wise.

240
00:14:58,279 --> 00:15:02,240
That has to probably break soon, right Like they this

241
00:15:02,279 --> 00:15:04,480
is a team that was top ten last year in

242
00:15:04,519 --> 00:15:10,240
three point shooting. This is also a team that's very fast. Uh. Yeah,

243
00:15:10,279 --> 00:15:12,559
they shot forty two percent against the Pells tonight, so

244
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,759
maybe they got it out of their system and they

245
00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:17,080
won't shoot well against the Clippers. But this is a

246
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,799
team that is kind of like this is the Clippers Kryptonite, right.

247
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:24,200
It's a young team that plays very active defense to

248
00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:30,080
force turnovers, and they run a lot. Their pace isn't

249
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:36,279
super high ranked, but they can get buckets quickly. This

250
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,440
is where I think we'll see Done and Derek Jones

251
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,039
Junior a lot in the lineups. I guess we got

252
00:15:42,039 --> 00:15:43,960
to try and rely on defense for this because the

253
00:15:44,039 --> 00:15:49,519
offense has been a little spotty. I think if Patuma's

254
00:15:49,559 --> 00:15:52,240
playing well, we'll see a lot for what it would

255
00:15:52,279 --> 00:15:56,080
be of batum Derrek Jones Junior and Chris Dunn, just

256
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,919
because defensively that's so good. And if one of Dunner

257
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,240
Derek Jones Junior is hitting threes, those three guys can

258
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:06,960
be super useful. Optimum four four two nine. Asking do

259
00:16:07,039 --> 00:16:08,919
you think we should continue to ride the year out

260
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,759
with Bogie or does get moved before the deadline. I

261
00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:16,000
don't know what you trade Bogie for. I don't know

262
00:16:16,039 --> 00:16:19,039
what what do we trade Bogie for. We have a

263
00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:21,600
good backup center, we have a backup power forward. I

264
00:16:21,679 --> 00:16:24,080
think we just keep Bogie. It's not like there's a

265
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:29,799
player out there five games in that is screaming replaying

266
00:16:29,879 --> 00:16:32,720
this guy is great. You know, he's got to figure

267
00:16:32,759 --> 00:16:35,440
it out. He didn't have a preseason either. Him and

268
00:16:35,559 --> 00:16:38,639
Beale are going to have slow starts, but you just

269
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,440
ride it out right like they're not. There's not a

270
00:16:42,519 --> 00:16:47,279
huge glaring hole or a fix four said glaring hole

271
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:53,240
for the Clippers five games in the season, main it

272
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:55,440
Coundo said, I just wanted to say, you very much

273
00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:02,279
look like a chuck checks out. I appreciate that. Yeah,

274
00:17:02,279 --> 00:17:04,920
thank you. That's that's partly why I go by it.

275
00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:11,920
I'll take that for sure. Uh yeah, this Thunder game,

276
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:16,279
man If Kawhi and Harden, I am assuming guys are

277
00:17:16,279 --> 00:17:22,680
gonna have to play heavy minutes against the Heat because

278
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:29,680
the Heat are not a pushover team at all. Klue

279
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,200
Blue ninety five saying Buggy just hasn't let his nuts, saying, man,

280
00:17:33,279 --> 00:17:35,839
I can see the little confidence. The confidence is low

281
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,400
right now. And yeah, I hope Tyler's giving him similar

282
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,599
advice as to what you said, because he should do that.

283
00:17:43,839 --> 00:17:47,279
Jimmy Williams saying, will be interesting to see what happens

284
00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:49,559
with Collins. He is killing it off the bench with

285
00:17:49,799 --> 00:17:52,839
interesting to see with Harden Beale Kawhi and Collins has

286
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,680
been so fucking good to open this season. We had

287
00:17:57,759 --> 00:17:59,720
high hopes for him on this pod. Thank you Jimmy

288
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,920
william by the way, we had high hopes for him

289
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:09,400
on this podcast. He's been so efficient. He's yeah. He

290
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,759
had the quote in the U because this is a

291
00:18:13,799 --> 00:18:16,960
contract here for for John Collins. He had the quote

292
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,400
where he was like, I'm gona either bust my ass

293
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,160
as a starter or bust my ass as a bench

294
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:25,839
player paraphrase. But he's been awesome to open the season.

295
00:18:25,839 --> 00:18:27,799
You can see the juice anytime he's out on the court.

296
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,319
We're gonna need him and Derek Jones Junior to be

297
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:37,519
useful in transition. For both of these games. The Heat

298
00:18:37,519 --> 00:18:40,559
play a quick pace. The Thunder can play a quick

299
00:18:40,599 --> 00:18:44,440
pace and are just younger and more athletic than the Clippers.

300
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,480
Not that we're not athletic, but it is the Thunder.

301
00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:52,480
I'm hoping we if we, I would feel pretty good

302
00:18:52,519 --> 00:18:55,519
if we split this back to back. These are two

303
00:18:55,559 --> 00:19:03,480
good teams. It's gonna be it's it's gonna be difficult. Again.

304
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,200
I wish it's nice Kauhi is playing in the back

305
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,880
to back. We like that a lot, but it's gonna

306
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,640
be a test couple off of her own performance on Friday.

307
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,839
Him and James Harden is awesome. It's like the momentum

308
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,759
is there again. Splitting this back to back would not

309
00:19:20,839 --> 00:19:27,400
be the worst thing. It's a difficult matchup. Got another

310
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,359
super Chat, thank you so much. Oh soo real said

311
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,160
miss the buzzer beater on Friday. Because trick or treating

312
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,759
the no game over the weekend. Birthday is tomorrow, though,

313
00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:38,880
so let's go Clippers. Yeah, let's hope the Clippers gonna

314
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,680
win on your birthday. That would be sick. I hope

315
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,559
every I hope everyone who has a birthday during a

316
00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:47,920
Clippers game gets a win for it. That would be fantastic.

317
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,039
And hope trick or treating was good. I don't know

318
00:19:50,079 --> 00:19:53,279
how old you are. I hope yeah. I guess either

319
00:19:53,279 --> 00:19:55,799
you got game you took someone to get candy, but

320
00:19:55,839 --> 00:20:01,200
thank you for the five dollars. So yeah, split this

321
00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:05,279
back to back. Then it's I mean, then it's still

322
00:20:05,319 --> 00:20:09,359
like they're four and three, but they got two games

323
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,759
against the Suns right after this, so they have some

324
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,799
wilgerin they go, yeah, okay, after this back to back

325
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,079
they have a game against the Sons on the sixth,

326
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,359
a game against the Sons on the eighth, and then

327
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,079
the Hawks on the tenth, in which the recent news

328
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:30,359
about Trey Young makes that the three games after this

329
00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:34,160
back to back kind of a cushion a little bit,

330
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,200
not to say to look ahead or anything like that,

331
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,240
but they split this back to back, they can still

332
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:47,359
end up, you know, looking okay, after their ten games

333
00:20:48,559 --> 00:20:51,160
they split this back to back, they would be at

334
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:57,920
four and three. They Yeah, they can get to seven

335
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,880
and ten or seven and three over their first ten.

336
00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:03,240
But it's gonna be difficult. I know Adam wanted them

337
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:09,680
seven three. I take that too. It's gonna be tough.

338
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,720
We're gonna need again. This is a great time for

339
00:21:15,799 --> 00:21:20,200
Beale to hopefully kind of snap into the norm power

340
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:24,559
roll ironically enough against the Heat or else. We're just saying,

341
00:21:24,599 --> 00:21:30,039
took their son. There we go. Yeah, was surprised at

342
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:31,960
the game against the Peals came to a buzzer beater.

343
00:21:32,519 --> 00:21:34,839
That makes sense. There was a whole bunch of free throws.

344
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:40,480
It was a nightmare. They cannot They have to defend

345
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,960
with discipline in both of these upcoming games, because again,

346
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,240
you don't want to give the Heat extra free throws

347
00:21:47,279 --> 00:21:49,960
for a team that's already averaging top five points per game,

348
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:56,759
and you don't want to give the Thunder anything extra

349
00:21:56,839 --> 00:22:00,000
at all because they they could maybe run the Clippers

350
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,640
the gym. I don't know. We'll see what happens, but

351
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,839
let's hope it doesn't. We are going to have a

352
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,359
full episode for y'all out on Wednesday. Sorry for the

353
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,960
spody coverage this week. It was the World Series. I'm

354
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,400
a huge Dodgers fan. I'm also moving a little slow today.

355
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,079
But the Clippers are three and two. Big test back

356
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,079
to back wise coming up tomorrow. Let's hope they can

357
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,559
split it. We'll be back with y'all Wednesday with a

358
00:22:28,559 --> 00:22:30,480
full episode. Thank you for hanging out. If you'd like

00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,799
We'll probably do a live stream after the game on Tuesday,

364
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,920
just to react kind of in real time to how

365
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,640
again this not easy back to back goes. Here's to

366
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,599
Kawhi and Harden continuing the offensive dominance. Here's to not

367
00:22:54,839 --> 00:22:58,400
fouling in bunches and here's to a good week. Thank

368
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,880
