00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: Clippers fans, Welcome to season three, episode fourteen of Clips

2
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,160
in Dip. We were in the throes of the offseason,

3
00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:20,239
but media day is just around the corner, which is

4
00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:23,039
very exciting. Thank you for hanging out with us. I

5
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,199
am Chuck Buckler, joined us always by Adam Oslin and

6
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,839
Will Updike. Got a lot of good stuff to talk

7
00:00:28,839 --> 00:00:31,320
about today. We're talking Norm Powell and kind of his

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,920
role on the team, some season stat leader outlooks. There

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,679
was some leaks both jersey and court and shorts, and

10
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:48,240
we had some ex Clippers news, both both bittersweet and

11
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,920
sweet that we're going to talk about. Before we get

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,439
into that, Adam, will I trust you guys are doing well.

13
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,399
Adam was putting in that work on the Live with

14
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,399
Justin Mussau earlier. We are recording this the day that

15
00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:05,799
shohe O Tani joined the fifty to fifty Club, which,

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,400
if you're not is the club. He is the club.

17
00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:11,079
It's a very lonely clubhouse. I don't know what color

18
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:13,719
the jacket is, but he's the only one wearing it.

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,480
Fifty home rounds, fifty stolen bases. Before we get into

20
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:22,799
the Clipper centric stuff, Adam and will what would the

21
00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:30,239
basketball version of the fifty to fifty club b? I'm like,

22
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:33,079
this is a good question, the same.

23
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: It's Chamberlain, Yeah, fifty points. What how many guys have

24
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:44,719
a fifty to forty ninety season? Is it like five

25
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,640
to seven? Somewhere in that range.

26
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,319
Speaker 1: I think maybe birds.

27
00:01:47,959 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: Done it twice, Maybe Steve nash Dirk.

28
00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of eleven players.

29
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: Eleven. Well, that's not good enough then too, guys have

30
00:01:59,040 --> 00:01:59,359
done it.

31
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: We need something that only one person is done.

32
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: It might be the triple double record. Actually, it might

33
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,599
be averaging a triple double for a season, since that's

34
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,520
happened three times, rustage wise, Oscar Don once.

35
00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. But people have already done it though. Yeah,

36
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,439
So like it has to be something like what if

37
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,719
Kawhi happened? I mean this.

38
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: Steph had like for three one year.

39
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,439
Speaker 1: I feel like Kawhi, like yeah, like over a season.

40
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,400
I think it would have to be something defensive and offensive.

41
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:38,960
So it would have to be like a center who's

42
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,000
putting up like thirty points and like twelve blocks a

43
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,400
game or something like that.

44
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:48,879
Speaker 2: I mean, will average fifty to twenty five or something

45
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:49,520
one season?

46
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,439
Speaker 1: Right, supposedly.

47
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: No video, no video bro at thirty more possessions to

48
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,520
accumulate stats. It's a little bit different in the modern era.

49
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:02,240
I mean, I think O'tan's the greatest player ever. He

50
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,520
hasn't been to the playoffs yet, Like I've been saying

51
00:03:04,599 --> 00:03:07,759
for years, he's got tany Babe Ruth, who's playing during

52
00:03:07,759 --> 00:03:11,280
segregation is a totally different league. Now, you can't compare this.

53
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,000
I don't know. I don't know what it would be.

54
00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:18,599
It's it's tough to say it is. I guess you

55
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,960
find fifty fifty, fifty to fifty, like in a game

56
00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:25,120
or for a season.

57
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean fifty to fifty in a game.

58
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 3: I think fifty to fifty in a game.

59
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,319
Speaker 2: Has Will done it?

60
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:33,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think Will is one of the

61
00:03:33,479 --> 00:03:35,840
greatest athletes of all time. I don't trust any of

62
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:36,800
those stats.

63
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,919
Speaker 2: They're a little Paul Bunyan esque.

64
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,039
Speaker 1: Yeah again, Paul Bunyan another great athlete, But I don't

65
00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:44,360
trust any of his stats either.

66
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: What about Blue though, the big Blue wats.

67
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: Blue Blue was doing? Is it blue or is it

68
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,520
Babe Babe?

69
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,039
Speaker 2: Right?

70
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 3: I think it's Babe Bay Blue.

71
00:03:54,879 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: Wats I got you, babe, Yeah, this sounds right.

72
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: It is Paul Bunyan and Babe the Big all right.

73
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:03,159
Speaker 3: So I do trust Babe stats though, like they did

74
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,560
tramp around and make the thousand lakes like that that happened.

75
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,840
I think, well, I know, because the lakes are there

76
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:11,840
and they're all the same.

77
00:04:12,759 --> 00:04:15,319
Speaker 1: I think what was right? I think fifty points fifty

78
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,240
boards in this era.

79
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,519
Speaker 3: I think the fifty boards is like, that's that's impossible.

80
00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:23,079
That sounds impossible.

81
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd have to grab every board.

82
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 2: It's gonna have to be a lot of misses too, like.

83
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, you're playing, Like, yeah, you're playing. Also, probably

84
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,839
the worst team everred.

85
00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 2: It would probably involve like twenty offensive rebounds, which means

86
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,160
he could be inflating his own stats by missing some

87
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,439
bunnies and then eventually getting it to go type thing.

88
00:04:43,519 --> 00:04:45,639
Speaker 3: You know, once I got to third on the quest

89
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:47,040
of fifty, how can you knock it?

90
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: You know, halfway through the fourth I'm at thirty five boards.

91
00:04:50,519 --> 00:04:52,399
I'm just standing under the basket.

92
00:04:53,879 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: What about just one hundred and one points in the game.

93
00:04:57,399 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Russ's twenty twenty twenty two is pretty

94
00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:01,839
damn close.

95
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: Hey, what about Zoo's thirty forty nine. What's up?

96
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:06,879
Speaker 3: That's true?

97
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,079
Speaker 1: All right, So Zoo could do it this year, is

98
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,800
what we're saying. Zoo could join the NVA version of

99
00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:17,600
the fifty Club. I don't know, hats off to show. Hey,

100
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,079
Otani just an incredible feat.

101
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:24,199
Speaker 2: Now, he came into today at forty nine, forty eight

102
00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:27,399
stolen bases to home runs, and he leaves at fifty

103
00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:30,480
one fifty one while going six for six with three.

104
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: Home runs Ken Ribs. It's so absurd, it's crazy. All right,

105
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,439
let's talk. Let's talk Clippers basketball, because that's what we're

106
00:05:38,439 --> 00:05:42,399
here to do. The lob, the jam, the pod Our

107
00:05:42,519 --> 00:05:47,759
sister Pod was tweeting about, you know, basically the kind

108
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:50,279
of the Norm Pwell, I don't want to say conundrum,

109
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:53,560
but like a enigma of where he fits on this team.

110
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:57,000
They had a tweet that was funny, that was like, rationally,

111
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,480
you know, it's gonna be funny putting Norm in so

112
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,319
many trade machine scenarios, but then realizing that he is

113
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,360
so important to what the Clippers need to do offensive

114
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:06,839
I mean.

115
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 3: Don't we do this every year and then inevitably someone

116
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,879
goes down and it's like, oh, thank god, we didn't

117
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,319
trade this guy who was in every single trade machine

118
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,560
screenshot we got sent over the offseason. Like, I just

119
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,000
I think, like right now, obviously, I mean with how

120
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,560
soon camp is, I like, nothing is going to happen,

121
00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:26,920
and that's the right move. You know, We'll have to

122
00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:29,319
look and see. Are there some other people? Are we

123
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,279
a little guard heavy?

124
00:06:30,439 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: Yes?

125
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,759
Speaker 3: I can see all of that, but you do still

126
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,240
have to make up for twenty four points, and Norm

127
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:37,680
is one of the guys that can help you do

128
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,240
that giving up a lot on the other end. But yeah,

129
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,240
I think until unless someone really breaks out as a scorer,

130
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,439
and even honestly, it has to be more than one.

131
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,120
I'm looking at like three guys, one guy who hasn't

132
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,399
played any minutes with the team competitively, and then Zoom

133
00:06:54,439 --> 00:06:58,000
and man would have to like really kind of break

134
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,560
out offensively, I think to make him fully expendable, unless

135
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,480
you had some sort of guarantee that everyone is gonna

136
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,600
be healthy all season, which if you got.

137
00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:08,399
Speaker 1: That, wait, I'm pretty good, send that over to us.

138
00:07:08,439 --> 00:07:09,720
If you got mailed to Garrett.

139
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:11,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can. It can be a it can be

140
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,480
a fact, it can be a copy, it can be actually,

141
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,399
it could just be a picture on your phone. I'm

142
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:16,920
cool with that.

143
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,199
Speaker 1: And we also added another guard, which is funny. Alandas

144
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,800
Williams got added to the to the training camp. But

145
00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:28,800
because it's like offensively, he's like the fourth most important

146
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,560
player on the team, I guess he's one of the

147
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,399
few proven guys you can't sag off of. Like I

148
00:07:36,399 --> 00:07:40,160
didn't mean that's no thumbs down if you're watching, like

149
00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:42,360
he's one of the proven guys that you can't sag

150
00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:44,560
off of. We don't know about Derek Jones Junior. They're

151
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,680
gonna make Terrence Mann earn all those threes too, Like

152
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,639
in the pick and roll.

153
00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:49,959
Speaker 3: I'll tell you right now, we don't need to see

154
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,240
if there's no way that there's no Junior is near

155
00:07:52,279 --> 00:07:53,879
the shooter that Norm right.

156
00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just made in terms of gravity like on

157
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:56,839
the floor, you know what I mean?

158
00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:01,319
Speaker 2: Norm literally shot ten better from during the regular season

159
00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:03,360
last year it was forty four to thirty four. I

160
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,120
mean he was an elite EF fishing player from the outside.

161
00:08:06,279 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And it's just it's so funny in this context

162
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,680
of like, Okay, so we're a defensive minded team, but

163
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:14,639
people are gonna like because this is gonna be the

164
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,199
guy that every year there's a guy that Clippers fans

165
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:17,879
are split on.

166
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and I get it. I mean he is

167
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,360
like he is an asset. You know, the contract is

168
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:28,600
right there in what you need to sort of make

169
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,080
up money to get something back of value if you're

170
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,039
looking for, you know, like a role player type of

171
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,039
type of guy, which I assume that's that's what the

172
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,559
trade the trade would be for. But yeah, like I

173
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:41,600
just feel like we've been doing this every year.

174
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:44,799
Speaker 2: That's where I'm at. I'm baffled that people think this

175
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,159
is something new and fresh. It's like we talked about

176
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,200
this all throughout last offseason. Is Norm the guy that

177
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,519
gets moved? And then once the Powell Raiders happened, we

178
00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:57,039
were like, damn, good thing they haven't moved Norm. I

179
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,919
guess he wasn't expendable at all. Now, to me, the

180
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,120
one way he could become or find himself on the

181
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,320
trading block would be and this is I think a

182
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,360
long shot at this point, if Kevin Porter Junior was

183
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,480
first of all available and not suspended, and then second

184
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,919
of all showing some of that ability that he had

185
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,600
with the Houston Rockets where he averaged nineteen points per

186
00:09:21,639 --> 00:09:24,679
game and was doing so. Now on maybe an a

187
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,799
winning team that's actually trying to, you know, make the

188
00:09:27,799 --> 00:09:31,039
playoffs and play for something, then you can start talking

189
00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:33,600
about it. Until then, to me, I just don't see

190
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,519
how you can move Norm Powell unless you move him

191
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,600
for more of a position of need.

192
00:09:38,799 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 3: I guess I was gonna say if the right wing

193
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,200
came If the right wing came along, I like that

194
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,799
would make a little bit more sense to me. But

195
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,879
again it's not happening coming into training camp, and it's

196
00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:52,240
still very much like TVD on what that move is.

197
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: And it depends on how the Clippers look too. Right,

198
00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:57,720
if the Clippers are just for some reason just bad,

199
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,399
I could maybe see them moving in because like, hey

200
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:03,559
we can maybe get younger four or something like that,

201
00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:05,879
Like the season isn't going how we wanted to. But

202
00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:08,279
if the Clippers are playing well, he's gonna be a

203
00:10:08,279 --> 00:10:10,879
big reason for that. He's gonna be coming off the bench.

204
00:10:10,919 --> 00:10:16,039
And again there's James harden Kawhi Leonard, Norm Powell. The

205
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,960
three guys who can just put up thirty points just

206
00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:23,440
you know, randomly, they're their ability. Those are the three

207
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,519
guys on the team. No other guys are really bringing

208
00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:28,799
that offensive spark that we need.

209
00:10:29,879 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, not on any sort of consistent basis. I mean

210
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,279
we talk about this again every season, like Norm can

211
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,320
walk into twenty, Like you know, it's like it's not

212
00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:39,759
even like that big it's not even a feat.

213
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,879
Speaker 2: I think he's had three years averaging nineteen or twenty

214
00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:45,960
points per game. This is this is old hat for him.

215
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,639
This is something he's very comfortable doing. Last season, The

216
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,720
only reason is scoring was down I think to fourteen

217
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,360
is because we had so many scores with Paul George,

218
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,440
James Hard and Kawhi Leonard. He wasn't having or getting

219
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:57,480
as many shots off.

220
00:10:58,919 --> 00:11:00,799
Speaker 1: And the defensive stuff too.

221
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,039
Speaker 3: He and that is another thing that that hampers a

222
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,960
trade to a certain degree. It's like he is such

223
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,399
a specific piece, you know, like the team that's taking

224
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:13,200
a trade for him is a team that really needs

225
00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:17,360
a great backup scorer. Yeah, which you know, you know,

226
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,080
it's just not it's not like it's not the same

227
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,440
sort of value proposition as sort of a plug and

228
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,120
play wing or.

229
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: Something like that.

230
00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, even in the way he scores, his shot profile

231
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,759
is very unique and specific. It's not like he's a

232
00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:36,080
great individual get into his bag, go one on one.

233
00:11:36,759 --> 00:11:40,399
He's a catch and shoot guy. He attacks closeouts, he's

234
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:45,080
he gets to the free throw line. Now, he did

235
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,080
have forty points in a game where they didn't have

236
00:11:47,159 --> 00:11:51,080
Kawhi or Paul George and Phoenix. You could say was

237
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,080
loading up to try to stop him. They couldn't in

238
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,799
that playoff game. I think it was game three and

239
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:55,639
twenty twenty three.

240
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 3: But when he gets downhill, I mean, like, there's not

241
00:11:58,519 --> 00:12:00,639
a whole lot, it's a foul or a bucket.

242
00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:02,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like you're getting a point out of it

243
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:03,440
at least.

244
00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:09,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I don't like. I think most teams, even

245
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,600
bad ones, would still view him as playing a lot

246
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,360
off ball because he's not a playmaker. He can't really

247
00:12:15,399 --> 00:12:18,320
create for others and be very successful that way.

248
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 3: He could, I feel like he could.

249
00:12:21,159 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 2: He does passings pretty bad.

250
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 3: He doesn't, but I feel like he could.

251
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,039
Speaker 2: He probably should. He's thirty one, Like, I don't know

252
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,639
how he hasn't gotten better in that area, to be honest,

253
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,879
Why is he such a bad passer? Like he gets vision?

254
00:12:36,279 --> 00:12:38,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, Why is Paul Jeorine such a bad passer?

255
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: Paul is at least he has the ball in his

256
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,799
hands all the time. Like he has great passes too.

257
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,080
It's just it's up and down. Norman's just he has

258
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:49,840
a pass.

259
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,919
Speaker 3: Like No, that's what I'm saying. I feel like he could,

260
00:12:53,039 --> 00:12:54,120
but he does not.

261
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not. He's not what he's like a less

262
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,840
He's like a less dynamic Lou Williams.

263
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a play finisher, he's not a connector. Uh.

264
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,279
He should be a better defender too. Honestly, he was

265
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:11,240
good last year.

266
00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:14,279
Speaker 1: Better some free safety stuff that I liked from Norm,

267
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,080
and he challenged at the rim a couple of times,

268
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,360
which is very surprising.

269
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,639
Speaker 3: He's stout, I mean, you know, like, but he should

270
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:21,279
be better.

271
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: Ball from coming over from Toronto. What I saw during

272
00:13:25,279 --> 00:13:28,120
their playoff run, I felt like, I don't know if

273
00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:30,440
he picked up some bad habits playing in Portland where

274
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,000
they weren't playing a defense next to CJ, next to Dame.

275
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:38,039
Speaker 1: That's I mean, god, what a what a bad defensive?

276
00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't win with that.

277
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,039
Speaker 1: And now he has Chris done next one in terms

278
00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:48,840
of the second unit right like it's done in Norm

279
00:13:48,879 --> 00:13:54,720
in that backcourt. Pretty sick ass, you know, second string

280
00:13:54,799 --> 00:13:58,480
backcourt to have their Norm did play seventy two of

281
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,440
his minutes at the two last year, twenty four percent

282
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,519
of his minutes at the three, which I hope that

283
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,759
percentage goes down because.

284
00:14:06,399 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: We're gonna see three guard lineups, you guys, just I

285
00:14:08,759 --> 00:14:11,080
know we are, but twenty four a lot, you know

286
00:14:11,159 --> 00:14:14,639
we're going to I don't want to though, of course

287
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,519
no one does. But like, what do you want.

288
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,919
Speaker 1: To him to just stick at the two and they

289
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,159
can put another guard at the three. He just can't

290
00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:22,799
guard three.

291
00:14:23,519 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 2: I wonder, like, you know how they categorize that, and

292
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,559
if some of that was in the Powell Rangers lineup

293
00:14:28,559 --> 00:14:32,039
where they were counting Paul George's the two at times

294
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,720
and Norman three. Maybe I don't know. That's interesting. Twenty

295
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:36,960
four percent not nothing.

296
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: Oh it's Paul George's fault.

297
00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: Well when in doubt. No, I'm kidding.

298
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, because he's played I mean for his career.

299
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,600
He's played almost a third of his career at the three,

300
00:14:50,919 --> 00:14:57,080
which is pretty crazy. He's got he does have long arms.

301
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,879
But yeah, this is gonna be the guy who people

302
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,960
are like, I think he's gonna be and he shouldn't

303
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,240
be this I think he's gonna be a quasi scapegoat

304
00:15:06,519 --> 00:15:08,960
for the clip for the Clippers. I think the Clippers

305
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,559
are doing poorly. People are gonna look at his they're

306
00:15:11,559 --> 00:15:13,879
gonna look at the list of salaries, and they're gonna

307
00:15:13,879 --> 00:15:16,399
say he's the fourth highest paid player on the team, Like,

308
00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:18,879
why don't we move him for someone who does more stuff?

309
00:15:18,879 --> 00:15:21,720
And it's like, that's a very base argument, I think,

310
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:24,759
And I don't think we need him. We need his

311
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,039
offense so bad.

312
00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:29,279
Speaker 2: With the way the cap has gone up, and he's

313
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,759
taken up about ten percent of the salary cap.

314
00:15:32,159 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: He's been twenty million this year and then twenty the

315
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,279
next year. Just for context, sorry, just.

316
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:41,399
Speaker 2: So Yeah, and he's finished top five the last two years.

317
00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:44,440
He was fourth in six Man of the Year voting

318
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,159
and that and really could have been higher. H Yeah,

319
00:15:48,799 --> 00:15:51,360
he has been. I think it was the highest scoring

320
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,759
player off the bench last year. He's one of the

321
00:15:53,759 --> 00:15:57,879
most efficient scorers in the league. There is a lot

322
00:15:57,919 --> 00:15:58,759
of value there.

323
00:15:58,879 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: And if it was clutch, his numbers in the fourth

324
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,679
were really, yeah, fucking crazy.

325
00:16:03,399 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: Yes, they were, Oh my god. Yeah, he was unbelievable

326
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,559
last five minutes of a game within five points. So

327
00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:14,159
we overlooked him coming into last season and how valuable

328
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,159
he could be, and we're right back here again this offseason.

329
00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:19,759
Apparently with some people.

330
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: It's yeah, I'm looking forward to Norm's season. I think

331
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,399
he's gonna be it's gonna be more of the same,

332
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,039
right Like, I don't mean that in a bad way,

333
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,519
like it's gonna be efficient from the three. I like

334
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:36,759
him next to the Done pairing. I think whoever is

335
00:16:36,799 --> 00:16:38,440
at the three and the four on I mean having

336
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,080
Batoma out there too, Like he's in the lineup if

337
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,320
you just look straight bench, if you have Chris Done,

338
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,480
Nick Patuma out there and Norms at the two, like

339
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,240
you got, he has some help, right like you can.

340
00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:54,279
In the playoffs, he's definitely gonna be targeted. But in

341
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,399
the regular season, which is where the Clippers need to

342
00:16:56,399 --> 00:17:00,320
take things more seriously, as we've learned, it'll be used

343
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,679
to have those two other guys around him. As far

344
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,240
as who's at the three and who's at the five.

345
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,519
Speaker 3: No idea would you do because I'm assuming that the

346
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:11,319
people who want to see this, I'm assuming this trade

347
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,039
is like high up in there, uh, Norm plus salary

348
00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:19,000
filler for Collins. I have no idea. Why the Jazz

349
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:25,759
would do this, They already have this guy, like I

350
00:17:25,799 --> 00:17:28,119
have no idea. It makes zero sense for them to

351
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,920
do it as a team. It's the same amount of years.

352
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,440
It's about six or seven million dollars less per year.

353
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,039
Uh So if they wanted to, if they wanted to

354
00:17:38,039 --> 00:17:39,920
get off of that, they could, they could, They could

355
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:40,880
get off some salary.

356
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,759
Speaker 1: It was like Norman Tucker for like Collins and Filler.

357
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:53,680
Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, but then like Derek Jones,

358
00:17:53,759 --> 00:17:59,440
juniors off the bench, like we'd start Collins.

359
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's interesting.

360
00:18:02,319 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 2: I think Man might come off the bench before Derek Jenales.

361
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,519
Speaker 1: If I if, dude, if I were Terrence Man and

362
00:18:08,559 --> 00:18:10,880
they make a trade where I'm now coming off the bench,

363
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:15,880
there's no way in the world I'm resigning with this team.

364
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,960
Talk about gets talk about getting your fucking Chaine yanked.

365
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,440
That's fair, dude. I'd be like, hell no, you made

366
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,279
me play every position sometimes in a week, and now

367
00:18:27,279 --> 00:18:31,559
I'm on the bench like here. That trade idea, though,

368
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,920
if anyone sends us that trade idea, credit will because

369
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,680
we are going to get that trade idea at some

370
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:38,319
point for you.

371
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I just I know it's the same.

372
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,720
It's like it's the Van Diagram is like a huge

373
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,079
fucking circle of the people who every year want on

374
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,400
Collins and the people who every year want to trade more.

375
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 2: I think we got that exact question with Justin Russ

376
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,960
so early regarding John Collins for Norm and PJ. Tucker

377
00:18:56,799 --> 00:18:59,720
and well I have to take a salary either and

378
00:18:59,759 --> 00:19:03,039
some thing else. Yeah, they weren't specific about that, but

379
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,039
the only thing because from Utah's point of view, John

380
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,720
Collins can opt out after this season of that, and

381
00:19:12,799 --> 00:19:15,880
he might because he's young enough where he can get

382
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,680
a big deal entering free agency at the age of

383
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,519
twenty eight, or he's owed twenty six million if he

384
00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:25,200
opts into it, or he could probably make ninety million

385
00:19:25,319 --> 00:19:29,319
one hundred million by opting out if it's less per year.

386
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,519
Speaker 3: Oh, I was gonna say, you go for more years,

387
00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:32,559
I think for sure.

388
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 2: So they might be counting on him opting out after

389
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:40,960
this year if they don't like him, whereas Norm he's

390
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,160
locked in. He's an unrestricted free agent in the summer

391
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,799
of twenty twenty six. So I don't know what's the

392
00:19:46,839 --> 00:19:48,720
appeal for Utah here, Like, well.

393
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 3: No I mean I did give that caveat. No. No,

394
00:19:52,039 --> 00:19:54,960
there's absolutely no reason for Utah to do this, and

395
00:19:55,079 --> 00:19:58,440
you already have love, Like, why do you need it?

396
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,200
Why would you have Norm?

397
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: What if? Yeah? What if they have special plans for

398
00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:05,039
Pjack with Clarkson and Norm?

399
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 2: Oh?

400
00:20:06,279 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: Like, man, you talk about fun offensive highlights as you're

401
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,079
losing by thirty points. It's crazy that Collins. Collins has

402
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,680
like the Zoo trajectory. He's twenty six and he's played

403
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,359
six seven seasons, like he's been in the league for

404
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:19,960
a minute.

405
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 2: Who do you guys think could take the place of

406
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:30,240
Paul George in a new Powell Rangers lineup? So we're

407
00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:33,279
talking like turn the ball over a couple of times,

408
00:20:35,519 --> 00:20:44,119
Norman Powell, why Zoo Bots? And who's the guy he.

409
00:20:43,839 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: Could do it? We've already seen it in the playoffs?

410
00:20:46,039 --> 00:20:51,079
Speaker 1: Wait, so okay, so Harden, Norm Kawhi Zoo.

411
00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:54,839
Speaker 2: Who's who's the fifth guy to replace Paul? Is it Batom?

412
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,720
Because Batomb closing is great?

413
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,559
Speaker 1: But I think it's dude. I think it might be

414
00:20:59,599 --> 00:21:02,559
Derek Joe because we need some athleticism in that lineup.

415
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it might depend on how he's shooting,

416
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,680
like yeah, if he's hitting threes still, hell yeah.

417
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,799
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. Like, that's why I like the

418
00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:14,599
Derek Jones thing like his his, the Derek Jones junior

419
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,599
outside shooting is like one of the more if important

420
00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:25,119
storylines for the Clippers starting lineup for sure, Jones, what

421
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:30,119
if it's Mobamba, Dude, if we're running Mobama and Zoo

422
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,599
at the same time, count me in.

423
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 3: The three point going.

424
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 2: Really well, the only thing is I just saw Wato

425
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:46,559
lock up s g A at times this summer. I think, yeah, like,

426
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:49,599
I think it's I think it's there's just too much

427
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:55,160
trust there. But that's a lineup that can go for minutes. Maybe.

428
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a short stint lineup. It's a we're winning

429
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,720
by a bunch and we put it in, or we're

430
00:22:04,839 --> 00:22:06,599
losing by a bunch and we put it in.

431
00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:10,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, yeah when a game is tight.

432
00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 2: Or it's just a late game crush time line up.

433
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:13,839
Speaker 4: Yeah.

434
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,599
Speaker 1: Yeah. Because again, the other part two is decision making.

435
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,960
Everyone on that lineup, for the most part, universally makes

436
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,440
good decisions most of the time. So I think that's

437
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,079
where Nico gets the edge too.

438
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 3: For sure.

439
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

440
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 3: I mean because he's such a great connector, like totally.

441
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,720
You know, his offense, his offensive game isn't like like

442
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,799
like super varied, but like what he can do as

443
00:22:35,839 --> 00:22:38,599
a passer and stuff I think helps quick.

444
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,279
Speaker 1: Fire threes, great passing, good screen setter. Yeah, totally.

445
00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 2: And if Man's not the guy, I don't know if

446
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,200
DJJ is going to be the guy. It's as long

447
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,960
as Nico isn't you know, gas from playing too much

448
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,960
earlier as their age thirty six. But he looked great

449
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,960
this summer, that is true.

450
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: How many minutes is Nico gonna play?

451
00:22:58,839 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: Feels better than he's ever felt.

452
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, coming into camp, best shape of his life.

453
00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:08,079
Speaker 3: He was at twenty to do and started doing yoga.

454
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,559
Speaker 1: How many old player? He was at twenty six minutes

455
00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:13,920
a game for the seventy six ers.

456
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 3: Twenty six Yeah.

457
00:23:17,279 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 2: After what was he at with the Clippers twenty one

458
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,759
uh eight games or.

459
00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:25,599
Speaker 1: Whatever it was it was in twenty twenty two, twenty

460
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,200
twenty three it was twenty two minutes per game, and

461
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,880
then the three games in twenty three twenty four it

462
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,279
was eighteen eighteen.

463
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:33,599
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, because I was going to say,

464
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,559
that's probably what he's around this year. I would guess

465
00:23:35,599 --> 00:23:37,039
it's like eighteen minutes.

466
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't really have I known who can go

467
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,319
like other than him at the four, which is an issue.

468
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,599
So I think it. Yeah, eighteen to twenty one is

469
00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:47,440
probably what I'm we like need.

470
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 4: That, they do need that especially maybe it's maybe it's

471
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:58,799
faux bomb this season, you know, is.

472
00:23:58,799 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 1: This your new agenda? Are you? Are you?

473
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:03,279
Speaker 3: I don't know what's wrong with me.

474
00:24:04,559 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: It's the off season, bro, We're all losing our minds.

475
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,640
Mobama's playing the four year shoot.

476
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,839
Speaker 3: What are you shooting thirty percent from three on attempts?

477
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,400
I'm talking on attempts.

478
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: Sure, I mean, I'd be fine with that.

479
00:24:19,079 --> 00:24:21,599
Speaker 3: Adam Adam doesn't believe in it.

480
00:24:21,599 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 2: It's a thirty six percent career three point shooter.

481
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: It could happen right there.

482
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 2: But I just I worry about honestly, I worry about

483
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,839
the other stuff with Mobamba before I worry about the

484
00:24:30,839 --> 00:24:31,599
three point shooting.

485
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,079
Speaker 1: It's the best part of his game, literally, which is

486
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,880
so real. So it's I saw someone on Twitter was

487
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,440
talking about how there's kind of like a dearth of

488
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,279
serviceable NBA centers right now, like a lot of teams.

489
00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:46,160
It's like you have one guy and then your backup

490
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,759
is like kind of shitty, like there's no like just

491
00:24:48,839 --> 00:24:49,559
okay backups.

492
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,039
Speaker 2: That's why when everybody's complain about Clippers backups, it's like,

493
00:24:52,079 --> 00:24:55,079
who has these great backup centers? Who are these teams?

494
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:55,480
Tell me?

495
00:24:55,759 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: And I think I think Mobama is a perfect encapsulation

496
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,279
of maybe why that is is because or like an example,

497
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,119
because you have a guy who fifteen years ago would

498
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,240
probably be in terms of how he was coached crazy

499
00:25:09,279 --> 00:25:12,839
shot blocker post moves, you know, like because he's athletic,

500
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,240
he has good footwork, but he's only good at shooting threes,

501
00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:19,519
like that's his only consistent thing. So it's like he's

502
00:25:19,559 --> 00:25:22,559
the poster guy for like maybe that's why centers are

503
00:25:22,599 --> 00:25:25,640
bad right now, because you get a kid who's like

504
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,039
six ten or whatever in high school and you're like, dude,

505
00:25:28,079 --> 00:25:31,400
you should shoot threes, and then he can't do anything

506
00:25:31,759 --> 00:25:34,200
you actually need a center to do in the NBA.

507
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,160
I understand I sound old right now. I'm not against

508
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,920
shooting bigs, but like if he's a guy who should

509
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,839
be blocking shots, like maybe have some kind of go

510
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,799
to post move, but he does neither of those.

511
00:25:47,759 --> 00:25:50,039
Speaker 3: Too much time on softball field or.

512
00:25:51,759 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: Game.

513
00:25:52,839 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, finish block shots and dunk that is what is required,

514
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,079
and play some defense.

515
00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 3: What's pent within three feet?

516
00:26:01,799 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking it up right now. Field goal percentage by

517
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,359
distance zero to three feet sixty one percent last year.

518
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: So that's not great.

519
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's good, well well below average.

520
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty nine percent from three last year. Like what

521
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:30,519
it's like, He's the perfect encapsulation of why the centers,

522
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,680
why there's like starters and then like maybe we'll just

523
00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:36,400
run a power forward at the five, Like that's what

524
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:37,480
it feels like in the NBA.

525
00:26:37,599 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, it's these guys.

526
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 3: I think all you need, though, is one good one

527
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:42,640
like truly.

528
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,079
Speaker 1: That you play. So hopefully Zoo gets more minutes. Yeah,

529
00:26:46,079 --> 00:26:47,279
because that's the other part of it too.

530
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,599
Speaker 2: I asked law over under. I asked law Murray over

531
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,759
under on twenty nine minutes for Zoo, and he thinks

532
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:55,319
it's under.

533
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 3: He's slamming that under.

534
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,559
Speaker 1: I mean he's not wrong, he's no, it's unfortunately, he's

535
00:27:01,599 --> 00:27:02,359
probably right.

536
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,039
Speaker 2: Well, so two years ago he was at twenty eight

537
00:27:06,079 --> 00:27:09,000
point six. I think last year he was just at

538
00:27:09,039 --> 00:27:12,160
twenty six. There was has to go up, right.

539
00:27:12,319 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 3: There was the injury though, yeah, I don't There was

540
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,200
the injury and he didn't look the same.

541
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 2: But I think even if you look at the first

542
00:27:22,039 --> 00:27:24,680
couple of months, like, he's not he's not it close

543
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,599
to thirty minutes, Like regardless of the injury, what were what.

544
00:27:28,759 --> 00:27:32,839
Speaker 3: What about that first stint when heart like when heart,

545
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,279
when we stopped losing games? Actually no, we were still

546
00:27:35,319 --> 00:27:35,839
losing games.

547
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,039
Speaker 1: He was putting up good.

548
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 3: Numbers with Harden.

549
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 2: Okay, in November he was at twenty six point nine minutes.

550
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,119
In December he's at twenty eight point one. January twenty

551
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,640
eight point one, and then he got hurt.

552
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,799
Speaker 3: What did I say? What did I just say?

553
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:03,039
Speaker 2: That's not thirty minutes? That's right, He's got to be.

554
00:28:03,559 --> 00:28:05,279
He's gotta be at thirty. I don't care if it's

555
00:28:05,319 --> 00:28:07,599
twenty nine on the dot or twenty one nine point one, Like,

556
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,759
it's got to be close. It's gotta be more than

557
00:28:09,759 --> 00:28:11,200
he's ever average. It has to be.

558
00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got to be kissing thirty. He's got to

559
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,039
be kissing thirty minutes.

560
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 2: Does that mean we need to be worse with our

561
00:28:18,519 --> 00:28:21,480
small ball for visus Zoubas to get more minutes?

562
00:28:21,519 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: Et center. No, because we'll still run the small wall.

563
00:28:24,599 --> 00:28:26,920
We ran three guard lines with Luke Canard, John wall

564
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,440
and who was the third guard.

565
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:35,039
Speaker 2: In that, Reggie and Reggie a lot at the beginning.

566
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,359
Coach lu did admit it didn't work. Eventually.

567
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,599
Speaker 1: Eventually is the key word, though. That's what bothers me about.

568
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: It seemed like he had a lot of mouths to

569
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:49,039
feed or he had to appease certain years. Yes, I

570
00:28:49,119 --> 00:28:52,000
think because they brought in John Waller, like, we gotta

571
00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:53,759
make this work, but we also got to get these

572
00:28:53,759 --> 00:28:54,880
two guys going still.

573
00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:57,279
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. There was a Rico Heines video

574
00:28:57,319 --> 00:28:59,400
that came out, I think yesterday or today, and I

575
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,160
was like, oh, I'm gonna watch this run and the

576
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,440
first name listen on who was there was John wall

577
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,119
And I was like, I don't need to watch this one.

578
00:29:05,319 --> 00:29:08,200
I don't. I do not care about a requise from

579
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,960
that John Wallas. I don't. I don't any waste my

580
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:18,119
time with this. All right, I'm sure yeah, he was

581
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,000

596
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in. We just talked about how

597
00:30:14,039 --> 00:30:17,279
essential Norm is gonna be no matter how many trade

598
00:30:17,319 --> 00:30:18,960
machine screenshots.

599
00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:22,039
Speaker 1: You say, your machines screenshots you send us like that.

600
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,039
Speaker 3: But I mean we kind of started diving into it

601
00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:28,200
about what minutes distribution could look like. So we're gonna

602
00:30:28,319 --> 00:30:30,240
take a look at the season leaders here in a

603
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,119
few different categories, but let's just kick it off with minutes.

604
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,720
Last year's leaders were Kawaian Harden at thirty four point three.

605
00:30:37,839 --> 00:30:38,680
They were both even.

606
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was pretty much exactly the same.

607
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 3: Wow, love it. So I'm thinking the same one.

608
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: Man, I'm thinking it's probably gonna be the same next year.

609
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:50,759
I think they're Adam.

610
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 3: Do you disagree? You would you rather see less minutes

611
00:30:53,519 --> 00:30:56,160
more games or more minutes less games?

612
00:30:56,319 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: I feel like I could be talked to it to both. Honestly,

613
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,920
I could see a situation they try to play them

614
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,400
less they're older, or because no Paul George, they have

615
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,559
to play them more in the games that Kawi is available,

616
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,920
maybe he plays more minutes. I don't know, there's gonna

617
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,160
be less. I mean they had some blowouts during those

618
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,680
thirty one games where they went twenty six and five,

619
00:31:17,079 --> 00:31:19,759
where they could prest guys in the fourth quarter. I

620
00:31:19,799 --> 00:31:21,400
don't expect as many of this season.

621
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,759
Speaker 1: And that was the most minutes per game Kawai has

622
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:27,920
ever played, is it? Yeah? Wow, thirty four point three,

623
00:31:28,039 --> 00:31:31,440
I mean by like a smidge like twenty last year

624
00:31:31,519 --> 00:31:34,319
was thirty four point three, twenty twenty one was thirty

625
00:31:34,319 --> 00:31:37,519
four point one, eighteen nineteen was thirty four point zero.

626
00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:40,559
You can see some year breaks in those those you

627
00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:43,400
know what I mean, Like, yeah.

628
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 2: I'll go under if I have to guess under thirty

629
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,720
four point three honestly.

630
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,119
Speaker 1: But those two dudes I think are probably leading the

631
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,680
team in minutes. Oh yeah, yeah, I don't see anyone.

632
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,839
Speaker 2: I mean total minutes, average minutes.

633
00:31:56,839 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah average average, yeah, not total. And Adam's

634
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,039
Wildest Dream Zoo would be number two on this list,

635
00:32:04,079 --> 00:32:09,240
which I can't argue with, Uh, thirty minutes, yeah or

636
00:32:09,319 --> 00:32:13,079
thirty three, I guess yeah, because like, yeah, leading the

637
00:32:13,079 --> 00:32:14,920
team next year is probably thirty three.

638
00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:17,359
Speaker 2: Well, if we won a fifty to fifty game, I'm

639
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,200
gonna need about forty three.

640
00:32:20,519 --> 00:32:22,799
Speaker 1: Because I also think last year there was an emphasis

641
00:32:22,839 --> 00:32:25,039
on the whole sixty five game rule thing. It felt

642
00:32:25,119 --> 00:32:27,799
like not just the Clippers were making a point to

643
00:32:27,839 --> 00:32:30,400
be like, we can do this if we want to, dickheads,

644
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,119
you made it to sixty five game rule, you know

645
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,039
what I mean? Like, I feel like there was kind

646
00:32:35,079 --> 00:32:37,079
of like some because then after that Ku I just

647
00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:41,599
stopped playing. How many games did he missed? Then? Like

648
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,640
he was just done? Yeah, will do you think there's

649
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,079
gonna be a wild card in minutes in the minutes later?

650
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,519
And do you think it's I.

651
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 3: Mean, well, like in total minutes played, I think that

652
00:32:53,559 --> 00:32:57,200
I think that Zoo is definitely an interesting one. You know,

653
00:32:57,359 --> 00:33:00,319
again still TVD, like we're still speculating so much that

654
00:33:00,599 --> 00:33:03,000
his role was finally going to grow into something else,

655
00:33:03,039 --> 00:33:05,480
and you know we haven't. We haven't seen any real

656
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:06,319
evidence of that.

657
00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: He was nice. He was six last year in total minutes.

658
00:33:11,039 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that checks crazy.

659
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,559
Speaker 1: PG, Harden, Kawhi, Norm Terrence, then Zoo.

660
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: Damn like Will said, though he was out three weeks.

661
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's true. Next category points, I think this

662
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,480
one last year Kawhi twenty three point six, Paul George

663
00:33:30,519 --> 00:33:31,519
twenty two point six.

664
00:33:31,799 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 3: I think Harden is gonna have to be the leader

665
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:33,920
in this one.

666
00:33:34,319 --> 00:33:34,599
Speaker 1: Thank you?

667
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:35,279
Speaker 2: Really?

668
00:33:35,319 --> 00:33:35,519
Speaker 3: Why?

669
00:33:36,079 --> 00:33:36,319
Speaker 2: Yeah?

670
00:33:36,359 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: I think I mean the defensive responsibility for Kawhi, Like

671
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,839
Harden has more he can create on his little more

672
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:43,799
like the PG.

673
00:33:44,039 --> 00:33:47,519
Speaker 3: I think like last last year was his lowest his

674
00:33:47,559 --> 00:33:50,240
tenure with the Clippers. That was like his lowest scoring.

675
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,279
That was his lowest scoring per game average since like

676
00:33:55,359 --> 00:33:57,079
the OKC days.

677
00:33:57,559 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you guys think he's gonna outscore or Kawhi

678
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:01,599
and points per game next.

679
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,559
Speaker 1: Season, not by like a mountain but I could see it.

680
00:34:04,599 --> 00:34:05,079
There's a path.

681
00:34:05,079 --> 00:34:06,799
Speaker 3: I think it depends on availabilities.

682
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: I think there's a path to it. He takes more threes,

683
00:34:13,639 --> 00:34:14,519
you know what I mean, Like.

684
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 2: I think Kaw's got to take more shots, like they

685
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:18,760
both do.

686
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm here for that too, Like Kawhi's.

687
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 2: Gotta take twenty shots per game.

688
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,639
Speaker 3: And also, I mean, I guess we're talking per game,

689
00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:31,480
but I am. I'm also assuming Harden plays more games.

690
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah, I just per game. I

691
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,320
need Kawhi getting twenty five plus, like twenty five minimum.

692
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 3: That's it, and I don't know it will be at

693
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:42,840
twenty six.

694
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,599
Speaker 2: Really, yeah, I guess it is our year.

695
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 1: It's absolutely our year. I could just see the path

696
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:52,599
for it, you know what I mean. If he has

697
00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:56,199
a statistically wonderful three point shooting year and stuff like that,

698
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,199
he's available. Like, I think it's there. And again not

699
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,800
blowing Kawhi out of the water, right because last year

700
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,440
that difference between one and two scorers was literally one

701
00:35:04,519 --> 00:35:08,719
point between Kawhi and PG, So I think they'll be close.

702
00:35:10,639 --> 00:35:12,480
I don't think it's crazy to think Harden could do it.

703
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 2: Well, I guess I'm looking at Harden was that eleven

704
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,960
shots per game last season, Kawhi was at seventeen. I

705
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,480
don't know if it's going to play definitely enough for

706
00:35:22,639 --> 00:35:24,119
hard to take enough shots.

707
00:35:26,079 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: That's a great point. That's a great point.

708
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 3: And taking that much more, like more than seventeen though.

709
00:35:34,079 --> 00:35:36,599
Speaker 2: He better, he would the most he has taken in

710
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,800
seasons nineteen point nine and that was his first as

711
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,239
a Clipper, and I think that's probably where he needs

712
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,719
to be. And Paul George was missing a lot that season.

713
00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's a good call.

714
00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 3: He was out the first what sixteen games something like that. Yeah,

715
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:54,679
it was a bit, yeah, because the shoulder and double shoulder,

716
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,960
the double shoulder.

717
00:35:56,199 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: But the classic double labroom redo. Okay, that will be interesting. Yeah,

718
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,320
Like what, so Kawhi gets the twenty field goal attempts

719
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:07,960
per game, that's three more than last year.

720
00:36:08,679 --> 00:36:13,079
Speaker 2: Had hardened like fifteen or sixteen, that's my five.

721
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: Or six more than last year. Yeah. A couple of

722
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,039
those are threes. Oh yeah, it seems like mathematically Harden

723
00:36:18,079 --> 00:36:18,559
has a shot.

724
00:36:21,559 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 2: Darryl told me so.

725
00:36:24,119 --> 00:36:28,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then this one assists.

726
00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:29,119
Speaker 2: Not Clipper Daryl, Darryl Moorey.

727
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I figured this one assists last year, James Harden

728
00:36:33,679 --> 00:36:37,000
eight and a half, Russ four and a half. Who's

729
00:36:37,039 --> 00:36:40,719
the second place assists guy on the Clippers next year?

730
00:36:41,039 --> 00:36:47,039
First obviously Mobimba. Who is going to be behind James

731
00:36:47,079 --> 00:36:50,880
Harden for the second most assists per game?

732
00:36:52,199 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess why, honestly, Oh, because it's only gonna

733
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,719
be like four, right.

734
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's the second with four and a half.

735
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 2: So it's gotta be someone playing a lot of minutes.

736
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,320
Big Zoo turns into mini yoke.

737
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 3: Christ Paikic, I don't think so.

738
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 1: For assists per game from Chrisdain, I can see it

739
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:22,280
that would be second place probably, Yeah, I can see it.

740
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,559
I don't think any betting places should let you bet

741
00:37:26,639 --> 00:37:29,199
on who's going to get second place and assist per

742
00:37:29,199 --> 00:37:31,599
game for the Clippers, but if they exist, that would

743
00:37:31,599 --> 00:37:32,400
maybe go Christa.

744
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 2: Let's remember I mean PJ. Tucker was a very willing

745
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,960
faster last season. He didn't want to take a lot

746
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,239
of those threes, So maybe.

747
00:37:40,159 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: I mean Chris Dunn averages for his career four point

748
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:49,960
two assists per game last year he was at four.

749
00:37:50,679 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 3: What's I mean, what's Terrence's ceiling assist wise? Do you

750
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,199
think he could get to four a game. Highest season

751
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,199
was a shade under three.

752
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: Kissing three.

753
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:02,119
Speaker 2: Yeah.

754
00:38:02,199 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: I think if Kai takes more shots, I mean, obviously

755
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:06,960
Harden's gonna get some of those two. But I think

756
00:38:07,079 --> 00:38:09,599
Terrence that's yeah, I like that idea.

757
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,079
Speaker 3: If the if the benchmark is four, you know, yeah,

758
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,039
I think four doesn't seem that crazy to me.

759
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: Four doesn't seem.

760
00:38:16,079 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 2: Nuts as I'm gonna guess it's between Donner Kawhi, but

761
00:38:21,519 --> 00:38:24,199
Terrence Man could be the running too.

762
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: Yeah.

763
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 2: Those are the guys and the offense states on the team.

764
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: I'm so curious what the offense is going to look like.

765
00:38:33,559 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 2: I was running the numbers the other day because we

766
00:38:35,519 --> 00:38:37,280
brought this up, I think on the last show. So

767
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:43,199
I went through this was just offensive rating. Those were

768
00:38:43,199 --> 00:38:47,000
good though, too, because I wondered what I threw it

769
00:38:47,039 --> 00:38:49,079
out there. I think I asked for somebody in the

770
00:38:49,079 --> 00:38:51,280
comment section to get to it. I don't believe Aye did.

771
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,760
But what's the worst offensive rating a James Harden team

772
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,840
has had? So I went over the last twelve years

773
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,559
basically since he became a number one option with Houston

774
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:06,239
game just years offensive rating at the end of the year,

775
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,159
and the worst his team has ever been his twelfth

776
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,679
and on average their fifth. Multiple times he was on

777
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,719
the team of the number one offense, and that is him.

778
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,519
That is a system, that is James Harden doing this stuff.

779
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,360
So now I'm almost talking myself into maybe we've been

780
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,400
overly cautious with offensive rating and how concerned we should

781
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,800
be with the offense this year. As long as Harden

782
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,039
is available, they should be a top twelve offense, not

783
00:39:32,199 --> 00:39:36,239
just fifteenth, but maybe top twelve, top ten. Still, I

784
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:36,599
don't know.

785
00:39:36,639 --> 00:39:39,599
Speaker 3: I mean, I think worst case scenario, like really is

786
00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:41,719
like the Clippers have a mediocre offense in the defense

787
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,960
is as bad as it was last year. That's like

788
00:39:44,039 --> 00:39:48,559
that's floor, that's rock bottom for the Yeah.

789
00:39:47,519 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 2: I don't see how the defense can be as bad. Honestly,

790
00:39:50,679 --> 00:39:54,440
I am counting on if it's not top eight, they're

791
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,519
in deep trouble. They're in deep Yeah.

792
00:39:56,559 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 1: With the Van Gundy edition, Yeah, that would be that

793
00:39:58,920 --> 00:39:59,599
would be brutal.

794
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 2: A lot of building Top five. I don't know about

795
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,159
top five defense, but I'll take eighth.

796
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: I am loving the wildly different expectations people have for

797
00:40:09,039 --> 00:40:09,840
this Clippers team.

798
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 2: Uh, A lot of unknowns.

799
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: A lot of unknowns all right, rebounds last year Zoo

800
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,000
and we obviously know Zoo's gonna lead hopefully with over ten.

801
00:40:21,519 --> 00:40:24,360
Kawhi was second with six point one boards per game.

802
00:40:25,039 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I expect that he'd be similar same one too, Yeah,

803
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:30,079
I think I think so.

804
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Obama.

805
00:40:34,119 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 3: Because he makes the jump.

806
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: Dude, His per thirty six rebounds is like nineteen Dude,

807
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,920
when he makes the jump, finally he gets a chance.

808
00:40:45,079 --> 00:40:47,159
You know, we haven't even talked about kai Jones yet.

809
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:55,480
Negligent and then this one's funny because they're just so rare. Steals.

810
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,239
Roco was the leader last year with two. But we're

811
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:04,800
gonna go to real sample sizes. Kawhi what was at

812
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:11,840
one point six and Paul George one point five? What?

813
00:41:12,039 --> 00:41:13,039
I think it's hardened.

814
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,599
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, what's Harden's best season steel wise,

815
00:41:15,599 --> 00:41:18,840
because he's going to be He's He's had been like one.

816
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 2: Point led the league and steels I think twice.

817
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was at one last year, which I'm curious

818
00:41:24,199 --> 00:41:27,440
how they counted those because he had a bunch of

819
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,320
strips and ship you know what I mean, Like there

820
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,079
was like the yeah, this James Harden strip club. There

821
00:41:33,119 --> 00:41:37,960
was a lot of members of that. His most ever

822
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,519
per basketball reference was two per game in twenty eighteen,

823
00:41:41,559 --> 00:41:44,800
twenty nineteen. Okay, I think it's a.

824
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,519
Speaker 2: Lot of this is just he was playing a plus game,

825
00:41:48,599 --> 00:41:51,360
like he was playing seventy five plus games so often

826
00:41:51,559 --> 00:41:55,039
in his prime. Yeah, the accumulation led to him having

827
00:41:55,039 --> 00:41:56,679
the most steals, not per game.

828
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,599
Speaker 1: I mean two per game at seventy eight games is

829
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:00,719
pert crazy.

830
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 3: It's a lot of steals and one point nine in

831
00:42:03,519 --> 00:42:05,360
eighty one games in fourteen fifteen.

832
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Harden's probably number two on this great defender

833
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,280
we've been we've been beating that drum forever. Field goal

834
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,280
percentage last year, Zoo led with sixty four point nine percent,

835
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,599
Mason Plumbley second with fifty six point nine percent. What

836
00:42:24,679 --> 00:42:29,239
a drop off? Who's number two this year on a

837
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,280
real sample size, Like we can't just say Kai Jones

838
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,199
because like maybe he comes in for three games and

839
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:36,360
shoots like eighty percent.

840
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 2: So I'm guessing Kawhi was three three last year?

841
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:39,599
Speaker 3: Was it?

842
00:42:39,679 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 2: Daniel Tye? Let me look, Tye, Tawhi in the conversation

843
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:49,800
is absurd.

844
00:42:50,639 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 1: So if you take out Jordan Miller and Moosa, it

845
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:55,960
was Tice and then Kawhi.

846
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 2: What was Kawhi fifty one percent?

847
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: Fifty two point five? Oh my god, Terrence fifty one

848
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,400
and a half? Norm forty Oh yeah, Terrence in the mix.

849
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, that makes sense. Uh man, I'm gonna go

850
00:43:13,639 --> 00:43:14,440
Terrence this year.

851
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,119
Speaker 1: Oh I like that. Hey, if he's gonna take a leap, he's.

852
00:43:19,559 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 2: Because I think if he doesn't start off so slow

853
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,400
from three, that won't bring down his field goal percentage

854
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,159
as much. And he's been I think top three the

855
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,679
last two years at the RIM. He's been one of

856
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:31,559
the top finishers.

857
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:36,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I like that all right, second to last

858
00:43:36,599 --> 00:43:39,920
one three point percentage last year's leaders on at least

859
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,119
two and a half attempts per game, I put a

860
00:43:42,119 --> 00:43:47,599
caveat on this one. Uh Norm for five attempts per game,

861
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:56,039
Kawhi Leonard on the same number. That's crazy. Yes, I

862
00:43:56,079 --> 00:44:01,920
think this stays exactly the same unless James Harden has

863
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:07,920
a crazy ass year from three because he took two

864
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,000
more than Norm and still shot there.

865
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 2: I could see Kawhi only shooting thirty nine percent from

866
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,159
three this season, just because the volume is going to

867
00:44:19,199 --> 00:44:21,000
be up. I expect him to take more shots he's

868
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,079
gonna have to take tougher shots. No, Paul George like

869
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,480
that still could be second though on high volume.

870
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Harden would have to have like an all

871
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:32,360
time efficient year.

872
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think Norm still probably.

873
00:44:35,039 --> 00:44:37,199
Speaker 2: Number one, although Mobamba.

874
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 3: Was on the team.

875
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,039
Speaker 1: Now incredibly, what do you shoot thirty nine?

876
00:44:40,119 --> 00:44:45,599
Speaker 3: Last year? You said, yeah, thirty nine, it's real, Okay.

877
00:44:45,199 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 2: This is like a tenpt and a half or two.

878
00:44:48,079 --> 00:44:51,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, three quarters of an attenph and then last and

879
00:44:51,679 --> 00:44:56,599
then last, but maybe not least turnovers per game. James

880
00:44:56,639 --> 00:44:59,320
Harden led with two point six, but again he has

881
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,199
his usage right. He has the ball in his hands

882
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,719
so much. It'll still probably be James Harden for sure,

883
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,000
Gonna still be James Harden. Second on the team was

884
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,320
Paul George with two point one. Must have had some

885
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,519
home cooking on these books, because I could have sworn

886
00:45:10,599 --> 00:45:13,360
he spilled more than two point one guest drinks with

887
00:45:13,519 --> 00:45:17,400
Aaron Passes last year. Who's number two on the team

888
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,360
In turnovers? And again James Harden will be number one,

889
00:45:20,599 --> 00:45:25,920
but only because he is the main point guard. Like,

890
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,280
still very good turnover numbers for someone who has the

891
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:30,199
ball in their hand that much.

892
00:45:31,039 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 3: Kevin Porter Jr. Okay, just throw Yeah, he has like

893
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,199
a I think he has like a one to one

894
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,519
turnover to ratio is.

895
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: I think he might be right on that.

896
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,119
Speaker 2: Actually I'm gonna go kawhi just because usage.

897
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:55,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, use it, yeah, use it. That would make sense. Yeah, okay,

898
00:45:55,119 --> 00:45:57,239
never mind, it's not quite that bad. It's two to one.

899
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:04,079
So still that idea in your hands that much.

900
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:09,159
Speaker 1: Yes, I think it'll be probably why someone in the

901
00:46:09,159 --> 00:46:10,840
comments on the last show was saying that we were

902
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,559
ship talking Chris Dunn and.

903
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 2: That's not true that like was it Doctor shap Like.

904
00:46:21,119 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 1: Was like, you didn't say it was going to be

905
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,079
first team all NBA. I don't know what your guys

906
00:46:24,119 --> 00:46:28,760
problem is. Yeah, yeah, I don't know, because we were

907
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,679
talking about Kevin Porter Junior and we were like, the

908
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,079
only way that Chris Donn you know, like it was

909
00:46:34,119 --> 00:46:36,239
one of those situations where like all of these things

910
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:38,760
have to happen for Kevin Porter Junior to get minutes.

911
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,079
I think one of the things was Chris Done has

912
00:46:41,079 --> 00:46:43,920
to not be good again a hypothetical he's going to

913
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:44,639
be good.

914
00:46:45,079 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 2: I think I think he could get minutes even with

915
00:46:47,079 --> 00:46:49,599
Chris Dunn being good. I'm counting on Chris dunb being

916
00:46:49,599 --> 00:46:51,400
good right, yeah, oh.

917
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, wait, last one before we do a quick

918
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,440
ad break and get to some fun stuff. Personal fouls

919
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,400
per game. Paul George led the team with two point

920
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:00,360
seven last year.

921
00:47:00,559 --> 00:47:02,199
Speaker 2: You seemed higher in the playoffs.

922
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Zoo second with two point six, and then of

923
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,679
people who were still on the team, Terrence was third

924
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:10,320
with two.

925
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:11,639
Speaker 3: It'll be Zoo again.

926
00:47:12,079 --> 00:47:15,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, who's third or who's second behind Zoo?

927
00:47:18,559 --> 00:47:23,760
Speaker 1: I think maybe Harden Harden he was he was at

928
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:24,119
one point.

929
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 2: Derek Jones Junior's foul right at ooh, it's those tough

930
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:29,960
matchups he gets.

931
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,639
Speaker 1: That's an incredibly good point. He's going to a lot

932
00:47:33,639 --> 00:47:35,360
of the time he's going to be guarding.

933
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 2: So he's at one point six last year fouls per

934
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,199
game and in just twenty three and a half minutes.

935
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,320
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so it might be Derek Jones. Yeah, that's

936
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,519
a good call. But those are.

937
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 2: Well.

938
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,280
Speaker 1: I think it depends too, because there was that goofy

939
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,800
shit last year where the refs they were just like, hey,

940
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:56,920
stop calling stuff.

941
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. Remember games of the playoffs were two of the

942
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,360
most physical games I've ever seen.

943
00:48:03,679 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. After the playoff after the All Star break in.

944
00:48:06,559 --> 00:48:08,880
But it was like, hey, remember those just stop calling fouls.

945
00:48:10,079 --> 00:48:13,039
Speaker 2: I think they got annoyed because they were told to

946
00:48:13,039 --> 00:48:14,639
do this and then told her to do this, Like,

947
00:48:14,679 --> 00:48:16,320
you know what, We're just gonna sit this one out.

948
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:17,159
Then you guys got to.

949
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: Play your game. Please have no fouls.

950
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:22,679
Speaker 2: Call yourself.

951
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll just pick the ball up. Yeah, it'll be interesting.

952
00:48:27,159 --> 00:48:29,159
Let us know in the comments who you think is

953
00:48:29,159 --> 00:48:31,000
going to lead any of these categories. If you have

954
00:48:31,039 --> 00:48:33,559
a really funny category you want to add, like vorp

955
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,760
or something insane. Oh my god, I just don't wait.

956
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,400
I have to share the screen really quick. So I

957
00:48:39,559 --> 00:48:47,360
just googled Derek Jones junior. Uh, this is k Why

958
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:57,639
is ESPN doing this? That is very clearly possibly in

959
00:48:57,679 --> 00:49:01,840
a seventy six ers jersey looking at it because it

960
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,039
has a sponsor on it. Who the Clippers do not

961
00:49:04,159 --> 00:49:06,119
have a sponsor on their jersey.

962
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 2: Oh man, that's definitely a seventy six ers jersey they're doing.

963
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,559
Speaker 1: They're doing good stuff over there at ESPN. Keep it up,

964
00:49:15,559 --> 00:49:19,039
yeaybe Pat McAfee can take over your fucking web dev

965
00:49:19,039 --> 00:49:19,840
you losers.

966
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,159
Speaker 2: I mean, you pay Stephen A Smith his ten million

967
00:49:22,199 --> 00:49:24,199
a year, there's not much left to go around of her.

968
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just yeah, that's so funny. Was yeah, all right,

969
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,639
coming up, we're gonna take a quick break and then

970
00:49:32,639 --> 00:49:37,000
we're talking city edition jerseys were leaked or released. I'm

971
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,880
not sure about that. The nd season tournament court was leaked.

972
00:49:40,559 --> 00:49:42,719
And then I have a dip to talk about. Unclear

973
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,280
if my co hosts have a dip, but we'll get

974
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,480
to that. We got a break coming up, and then

975
00:49:47,599 --> 00:49:50,000
dip and fun talk coming up in three two.

976
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,280
Speaker 2: What well, looking back in, it's clips and dip. I'm

977
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,000
ota masm. We got Chuck Macklin, will Updyke And this

978
00:49:56,119 --> 00:50:01,679
is episode fourteen of season three. Oh you've got any more?

979
00:50:02,079 --> 00:50:04,760
I don't know, trivial issues out of the way compared

980
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,920
to what we're talking about now, this is what fans

981
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,519
really care about. Do you have the page already up

982
00:50:11,559 --> 00:50:13,920
to share here, Chuck, so we could show people these,

983
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:21,760
of course leaked jerseys. I don't get it. They're them,

984
00:50:22,119 --> 00:50:28,280
they're them works. I really like it. So it's the

985
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,880
same thing as last year, but a baby blue instead

986
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,519
of the dark blue, and so the navy blue you

987
00:50:33,559 --> 00:50:35,800
get almost a Chargers powder blue.

988
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:39,039
Speaker 1: Here, some people pointed out.

989
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 2: Okay, there is more teal in it. Yeah, I agree

990
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,039
with that, But I mean some of these jerseys, guys,

991
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,159
we dodged. We dodged a bullet Compared to some of

992
00:50:47,199 --> 00:50:49,159
the other jerseys that people are getting. With these city

993
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:51,960
edition ones from Nike, the Lakers are some of the

994
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,400
most horrific jerseys I've ever seen. Like I would have

995
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:59,840
designed that just to upset the Laker fans as a joke,

996
00:51:00,199 --> 00:51:01,039
like prank them.

997
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:02,679
Speaker 1: Celtics one is horrible too.

998
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, like stuff that has nothing to do with the

999
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:09,519
color scheme of teams. I'll take this. I will take

1000
00:51:09,599 --> 00:51:10,960
this and run honestly.

1001
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think in relation it's good. It's not. You know.

1002
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,960
We have also just like new jerseys in general, so

1003
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,400
I'm less worried about what the city editions like. We

1004
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:26,400
have three brand new jures. Good point. Yeah, that's true.

1005
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 2: Which ones do you like more? Because I have this deft.

1006
00:51:30,519 --> 00:51:36,039
Speaker 3: The Pistons was like, oh, ships like San Antonio, I

1007
00:51:36,039 --> 00:51:37,199
would probably put ahead of it.

1008
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 2: I like the Jazz one.

1009
00:51:40,639 --> 00:51:42,039
Speaker 1: I don't have it on me like that.

1010
00:51:43,679 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 2: I actually like the Kings one decent, the Valley No.

1011
00:51:50,639 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 3: I don't like the Valley.

1012
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,559
Speaker 1: This Valley one is weird. It looks like the Star

1013
00:51:55,639 --> 00:51:56,440
of David almost.

1014
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 3: I think the Charlotte one is great, Indies is terrible,

1015
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:02,719
Plans is terrible, Atlanta isn't bad.

1016
00:52:03,679 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 2: I like the Sixers honestly, and I don't want to

1017
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,360
have to say that, but I I kind of like.

1018
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:13,119
Speaker 3: The at Atlanta's is good, is great.

1019
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: The Denver one is so bad.

1020
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 3: The Mads one would be better if it didn't have

1021
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:22,400
the thing on the side. Minnesota one is Terribles one

1022
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,679
is bad, Brooklyn one is awful.

1023
00:52:24,599 --> 00:52:26,519
Speaker 1: Celtics one looks like an AAU.

1024
00:52:26,199 --> 00:52:29,760
Speaker 3: Jersey, Nuggets one is horrendous.

1025
00:52:30,079 --> 00:52:31,639
Speaker 2: The Celtics one looks like Baylor.

1026
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,760
Speaker 3: Yeah good, call Bucks one makes no damn sense. And

1027
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,639
I think that the Jersey magic is cool. The jersey

1028
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:40,840
looks better with a number on them. It's hard to

1029
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,639
see what a jersey looks like without a you know

1030
00:52:42,639 --> 00:52:43,960
what I mean. There's going to be most of it

1031
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,559
taken up, and the Clippers City editional court is sick

1032
00:52:46,599 --> 00:52:49,679
as hell. So I think all together would be cool,

1033
00:52:49,679 --> 00:52:51,320
but I don't know, we'll see.

1034
00:52:53,199 --> 00:52:56,079
Speaker 2: I like the Light Blue so much. I'm good. I

1035
00:52:56,159 --> 00:52:58,519
just love that that shade of blue a lot. Like

1036
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:00,599
I'm big on that, so I I think it's an

1037
00:53:00,599 --> 00:53:01,840
improvement all last year's.

1038
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,159
Speaker 3: I don't really like it.

1039
00:53:05,159 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 1: Bills up buying the jersey, I mean exactly.

1040
00:53:09,159 --> 00:53:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, keep the receipt on that piece.

1041
00:53:13,119 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 3: I like some of the other like I like some

1042
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:17,639
of the other designs and some of the other merch

1043
00:53:17,679 --> 00:53:20,639
actually from this artists a little bit more of the jerseys.

1044
00:53:20,679 --> 00:53:24,199
To me, it just seems like a jersey that would

1045
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:27,000
be in a video game where they couldn't license actual teams.

1046
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,280
Speaker 1: Dude. That's how I felt about a lot of the

1047
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:35,559
city editions. It was like, this is the team's jersey.

1048
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 2: It's one of the best of the worst. Like I

1049
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,599
I honestly, I don't know. I honestly like it, and

1050
00:53:42,679 --> 00:53:47,360
I wasn't. I just they got me with the baby blue.

1051
00:53:47,599 --> 00:53:51,599
But there are some really curious choices going on with

1052
00:53:51,679 --> 00:53:52,360
Nike right now.

1053
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:58,039
Speaker 1: That is exactly what the marketing executive that's the word

1054
00:53:58,079 --> 00:54:01,239
they're gonna use, Like, we had some cures choices this year,

1055
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,039
and then we have we had another lead. This was

1056
00:54:06,079 --> 00:54:10,079
an actual leak because NBA two k people go into

1057
00:54:10,119 --> 00:54:13,719
the files and look at what the end season tournament

1058
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:18,719
courts are going to be so we have. Also, the

1059
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:25,639
Clippers in season tournament court was leaked, which pretty sick. Honestly,

1060
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,360
I think with the full into an experience, this courtal

1061
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:29,280
loo dope as hell.

1062
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with it.

1063
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 1: Like it's cool. I like the faint Clippers behind it.

1064
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,079
If you're not watching this, which maybe should be for

1065
00:54:37,079 --> 00:54:40,440
this segment, dark court got the big as trophy in

1066
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,320
the middle of it. And then yeah, like Clippers script.

1067
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:44,880
I like this a lot. This is it's got the

1068
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:47,360
red on the court, like this will be cool.

1069
00:54:48,199 --> 00:54:52,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's they're more traditional now red and blue. Yeah,

1070
00:54:52,199 --> 00:54:55,920
that cursive script faded into the background looks sweet.

1071
00:54:56,519 --> 00:55:00,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're pro on this, and I mean anyone and follows.

1072
00:55:00,639 --> 00:55:02,920
You know, Chuck knows how much he loved the City

1073
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:03,599
edition court.

1074
00:55:04,039 --> 00:55:06,679
Speaker 1: Oh come on, come on now, I love it. It's

1075
00:55:06,679 --> 00:55:08,199
the best of the Clippers have done in years. I'd

1076
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:12,800
put that over the Kawhi and Paul George trade. Not

1077
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:16,719
that far. All right, So we liked the court jerseys

1078
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:21,559
were fine on former Now we're getting to former Clipper

1079
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:26,239
great news. Trez signed with the Adelaide thirty six ers

1080
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:30,360
in Australia, which is awesome shout out to Trez Montrez Harrel.

1081
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,880
If you weren't there for that era, go watch the highlights,

1082
00:55:34,639 --> 00:55:36,440
and he was in a rough spot. So it's nice

1083
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:38,239
to see him back in professional basketball.

1084
00:55:39,119 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. I know a lot of people soured because he

1085
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,679
went to the Lakers. It's been long enough, guys, we

1086
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:48,039
can get over that and just celebrate Montrez Harrell a.

1087
00:55:48,199 --> 00:55:52,800
Speaker 3: Great personal cost to himself, like heep left tens of

1088
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,000
millions of dollars on the table to do that with

1089
00:55:56,039 --> 00:55:59,559
what Charlotte, Yeah, his hometown team.

1090
00:56:00,039 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 1: I believe.

1091
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 2: It was a clutch signing.

1092
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 4: I think he was clutch signing.

1093
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:07,159
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1094
00:56:07,199 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 2: I was unfortunate because he missed out a lot of

1095
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,400
money and he's he's one of my all time favorite Clippers.

1096
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,039
I can't help but love. I called him.

1097
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:19,800
Speaker 1: Tres before they banned the Ninja head band. Come on.

1098
00:56:22,079 --> 00:56:25,519
Speaker 2: His energy and motor on the offensive end, I say

1099
00:56:25,519 --> 00:56:28,159
it was the Dennis Robin of offense, just because he

1100
00:56:28,199 --> 00:56:32,880
would not stop booming, which makes no sense because Dennis,

1101
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:35,800
of course had zero offense, especially on the pools. But

1102
00:56:36,639 --> 00:56:39,000
uh yeah, the pick and roll with Tres and Lou

1103
00:56:39,159 --> 00:56:39,840
was legendary.

1104
00:56:40,199 --> 00:56:42,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you remember the pros Versus Joe's episode where

1105
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,719
one of the things they had to do was grab

1106
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:50,599
a rebound against Dennis Rodman. I think it was Petro.

1107
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,519
It was impossible. I think they only grabbed one, and

1108
00:56:53,559 --> 00:56:55,639
it was because the ball took a weird bounce and

1109
00:56:55,679 --> 00:56:57,280
Dennis ron was like, I'm not going to get that

1110
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,480
ship and I was like, oh, I got it, and

1111
00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:06,719
everyone's like, we don't care man, And then Bobon officially

1112
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,800
retires from the NBA. One of the more fun eras

1113
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,599
the Toby and Bobie era, beloved by everyone in the NBA,

1114
00:57:13,679 --> 00:57:16,840
even if he wasn't on your team. Yeah, shout out Boban.

1115
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:18,159
He made those years fun.

1116
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,719
Speaker 2: I remember his first coming out game with the Clippers

1117
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,719
against Denver where he really shined. He came in the

1118
00:57:25,719 --> 00:57:29,679
second half and dropped like eighteen points in sixteen minutes

1119
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:34,280
in Denver. Yeah. I love calling him the secret Weapon

1120
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:36,320
because it's ironic because he's so big but.

1121
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,559
Speaker 1: In the world accomplished actor as well. He was in

1122
00:57:39,599 --> 00:57:40,559
the worst John Wick.

1123
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,559
Speaker 2: Movie, which one was that?

1124
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:43,639
Speaker 1: Four?

1125
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:45,519
Speaker 2: I like three.

1126
00:57:46,119 --> 00:57:46,719
Speaker 3: He's in three.

1127
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:48,159
Speaker 1: Wait, Oh he's in three.

1128
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 2: Three's got some nun chefs. I love three.

1129
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, he was in Four is the Worst Ones. Okay,

1130
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:58,280
so he was in a he was dude, It's just like.

1131
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 2: Yes, there's one scene in particular, it goes on way.

1132
00:58:02,079 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: Too long, and there's like, in the beginning, this is

1133
00:58:05,519 --> 00:58:10,760
a class Eclipse and bit movie. Uh sure, in the beginning,

1134
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,920
it's cool because for three movies you've seen Keanu Reeves

1135
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:17,880
just shoot people endlessly, and the beginning that they're kind

1136
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:20,079
of fighting with other weapons, so you're like, oh, this

1137
00:58:20,159 --> 00:58:24,159
is cool, like swords whatever. And then it's just straight

1138
00:58:24,239 --> 00:58:26,320
back to like him putting his gun in someone's mouth

1139
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:31,639
and being like and you're like, great, you shot sixty

1140
00:58:31,639 --> 00:58:32,440
five people.

1141
00:58:32,199 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 3: Again, what did you think the movie was going to.

1142
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: Be more swords?

1143
00:58:37,119 --> 00:58:39,199
Speaker 3: But you've seen the other three movies.

1144
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 2: Well, you don't understand there was time travel. They go

1145
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:42,559
back in time and they go forward.

1146
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 1: No, a lot.

1147
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,519
Speaker 2: I thought the ending was solid. I thought the ending

1148
00:58:47,639 --> 00:58:48,119
was solid.

1149
00:58:48,519 --> 00:58:51,079

1167
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:51,199

00:59:51,239 --> 00:59:56,960
percent body fat. This salsa, Yeah, I would. I would

1169

01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,000
if not, it's gonna get sketch. If I'm gonna be

1175
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,119

night after eating dinner to burn like, you know, another

1185
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:44,159
three hundred calories and just counting calories and making sure

1186
01:00:44,159 --> 01:00:45,280
I'm in a certain range.

1187
01:00:45,679 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: Well, at this point you could count the calories on

1188
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:51,440
one hand. I feel how much food you're taking.

1189
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,679

1220
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,480
Clippers fans on their well deserved weekend.

1221
01:02:32,159 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 2: Media Days eleven days away, and we're gonna have a

1222
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,239
ton more content for you after that with all the

1223
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,360
stories coming out, and hopefully we'll all be there asking

1224
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:45,199
some questions, maybe a little more clarity on roster construction,

1225
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,480
and we'll see who's going to be available to speak

1226
01:02:48,559 --> 01:02:51,440
on media day and who's not so I think it'll

1227
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,199
be pretty informative. And yeah, it's less than two weeks away.

1228
01:02:54,599 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 1: It'll be a good time. Even with the with the

1229
01:02:57,079 --> 01:02:59,360
lack of calories, Adam is still very good at math

1230
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,800
putting together. But there's only eleven days until the media day.

1231
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:03,760
