Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans. Welcome to I don't
know if happy hour is the right word for this.
Welcome to a Clips and Dip live. Hang, I am
Chuck Mockler. I'm ninety percent sure Adam is live on
Clippers Talk right now, So go ahead. Yeah, he is.
He is live right now. That's so funny. Adam is
live on Clippers Talk. Will might join? Unclear? The guy
has been difficult to track down. Lightly, but the news broke.
We saw the Yonick injury last night, which was difficult.
It was a really rough go of it. It deflated
the team a little bit after the injury against the Pacers,
and when four minutes without scoring, you could tell the vibe.
Speaker 2: Was bad.
Speaker 1: If you were watching the game, especially on the I
think it was only on the fan duel feed, it was.
It was rough. You could hear him reacting to the injury.
You could see players reacting to the injury. It was.
It was tough. And we've got confirmation if you missed
the confirmation, it was a list Frank injury in his foot.
He's going to require surgery and be out for the
remainder of the season. Prayers up and shout out to
Yannick because he is going to come out of this healthy.
We know that he's he's in good hands. It is
such a bummer for him. Uh, Grant Mona put it well,
shout out Grant. Grant does a bunch of great work
for the Clippers too. I don't He's probably live right now.
Go watch him. But he had a he had a
great tweet. He said his season was on an upward
trajectory as the games went along. He was beaming with
happiness during Rising Stars. His Clippers teammates raved about him.
It sucks he is out for the season. X Longo project. Hello,
he is out for the season, which is tough. He's
gonna battle back. We know he's gonna battle back. But
my lighting is all fucked up. Sorry, I'm coming from
a work happy hour, so I'm all over the place.
Speaker 2: That's why.
Speaker 1: But so person is asking also, if you're listening to this,
because I'm gonna put this out on audio after and
you want to watch us do lives find us at
YouTube dot commplish at Clippers podcast. So if it seems meandering,
that is because we're live the list. Frank, I know
I'm not a doctor, despite what some you know what
people around town say.
Speaker 2: But.
Speaker 1: Durant and Chet had this injury. Thank you La Clippers
film Justin Wilson. Durant and Chet had this injury recently.
Taking that with you will Durant is balling out at
thirty seven. Chet was never as athletic as Yannick is.
I don't think I'm not talking about skill here, but
I don't think we can argue that Chat was anywhere
near Yonick's athleticism levels. So the list, Frank, based on
those two things and the fact that I have a
history degree from the University of Montana, I would say,
as with an Agury, there's probably gonna be your recovery time.
He's young, which does help you in this scenario. If you're,
you know, twenty two years old, dealing with this is
different than if you're thirty two years old. Adam Ozen,
are you pulling double duty?
Speaker 2: Well, I wasn't gonna wait till late fifteen once that
news came out us.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, oh man, I know it feels like the end
of the world right now for kliper Nation, but brutal
pass it's just awful the timing of it, seeing it
happen to on it, so we have like the radio side,
I saw somebody tweet this out that was listening to
A five seventy when it happened. The microphones that we
had were so hot underneath the basket. It was really jarring.
Speaker 1: Dude, you could hear it all. I said it on
the fan duel broadcast. It was like I was watching
it with Hannah and she was, you know, not paying
attention to the game. She was doing something, but her
head stapped like she was like, what is going on
in the game? Like you could. It was all you
could hear.
Speaker 2: It was scary and you knew then something This was
more than probably a tweaked ankle. Unfortunately, we were hoping,
oh hi, high ankle sprain. Please, Like when does anybody
root for that? Uh? Now, it wasn't an achilles, It
wasn't an acl but it's a serious injury. The two guys,
the one guy that I remember right away is Chet Holmgren. Yep,
he missed. He missed his rookie season because of it. Yeah,
and he came back and looks the same on e
Donnis Hazl had it when he was like twenty nine
and played another fifteen years.
Speaker 1: KD had it. La Clipper Justin was talking about how
KD had it, and we've had people.
Speaker 2: Ask that was Liz Frank I remember that.
Speaker 1: He had We've had people ask, specifically x Bogo Project
has asked a couple of times, how does this affect
his athleticism? And I was saying that from what I
can put together with my.
Speaker 2: H KD had a Jones fracture.
Speaker 1: Jones fracture, That's what it was. Yanick, I don't think
Chet looks incredibly different athleticism wise, but he wasn't as
athletic as Yannick is. Yeah, but I but I think
but Yani's twenty two, like this is he's gonna going
to get through this. He has he will be able
to get through this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got a lot going for him. The healing process,
being this young and this grade of shape is on
his side to come back. And there's no obviously when
it happens now is to let's say, if it happened
earlier in the season, then maybe you're thinking you can
make a push to get back before the end of
the year. Now it's just over now, it's just he's
got the entire summer.
Speaker 1: It just happened in November, he would have been shut
down for the whole year anyway.
Speaker 2: Maybe here there were six and twenty one. Yeah, but
they're playing in June now.
Speaker 1: MEU says, you know, the season isn't the concern. I
think all fans would agree with this. Yanic possibly being
different moving forward is the concern. But I don't he's
a rookie. I think that helps us in that sense, right,
Like he has the athleticism, he also has all skills
for a center that you don't usually have, you know
what I mean, So there's there's more teachable pieces.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's coordination, that's not athleticism, So that's
not going to be affected. Uh and as athleticism might
not be affected at all. That's the hope. I think
we were texting early and I just said, I hope.
I just hope it's not a career altering type of injury.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which it's not, right, Like.
Speaker 2: Doesn't doesn't have to be. It's serious, but it doesn't
have to be a career altering injury, especially to someone
at this age. We have a comp with chet Holmgren
from a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Meer is worried about his level of aggression. I
would not be worried about that. I think we'll be okay, Yannick.
Speaker 2: It's like the dog is real.
Speaker 1: The Swiss dog.
Speaker 2: He talked to you, he talked to Yona's Valanchunis, he
talks craped with Draymond Green recently. That's that's not leaving him,
it's not. I think he only knows one way to play, right.
Some people were like upset last night. Oh, you shouldn't
have been going for every block and this and that.
It's like, you don't put a governor on guys like this.
That's actually how you can get hurt when guys aren't
trying to give one hundred percent effort. It's just it's
one of those freaky things. You can see the way
his footpent.
Speaker 1: Man that audio it was I was like, can they
cut this mic off? That's it had to have been
a stanchion mic or something.
Speaker 2: It reminded me. I remember watching the Sean Livingston game
live when it happened, and I remember that that was terror. Yeah,
but this isn't that type of injury.
Speaker 1: Right, That's the thing. It's not, you know, it's not Achilles.
It's it's gonna be okay. It's gut wrenching for right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the good news is a lot of people
want to see Isaiah Jackson out. Obviously they didn't want
to see it happen like this. But Isaiah Jackson could play.
He's gonna help them win games.
Speaker 1: So now, Yeah, I had notes about the game against
the Pacers, but the Clippers rolled them. Everyone kind of
played well. Obviously, the biggest story was the Yannick stuff.
We're playing the Spurs for the first time this season tomorrow. Jackson, dude,
Jackson came in. The math Jackson connection, math jack jack math,
whatever you want to call it, was on point last night,
and we're gonna need Mathron and Jackson to kind of
work that for the rest of the season for the
Clippers to stay where they're at.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was hard to put a ton into it
just because no steaks garbage time. But it's still at
least looked to me like a guy that was in
the flow of the game immediately. Yeah, who hadn't been playing.
Was good to see.
Speaker 1: He got I mean, he got an offensive board. I
think it was off. It wasn't off a free throw,
but it was nice. I also think that Matherne had.
He only had four assists last night, but I think
Mathern had his best passing game as a Clipper. He
threw an absurd more than half court pass to Kawhi
for a runout dunk, and then he hit Derek Jones
Junior with was it behind the back pass? It was
something where it was like, oh, okay, like you're you're
feeling it a bit. I guess your former team for sure,
But like I thought, I liked the passing and I
think having the good passing game and Hint and Jackson
having been on the same team, tough break. But again
we're set up in a way that maybe the ground
to make up isn't his steep as we thought it was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it as good as Yannick had been the last
couple of games protecting the ram. He still is picking
up fouls. He's still a rookie on Isaiah Jackson is
a little bit more seasoned, obviously, and I think has
a little bit more of that veteran savvy where he
should be able to fit in pretty easily with this team. Now.
I don't know if it's going to happen against Wempy
and the Spurs right because I don't know if anybody's
safe from him, but I do have a lot of
confidence in his game. Somebody the Clippers were looking at
back when he was coming out of the draft, and
I like the pop that we saw from him. What
is he like a year and a half removed from
his achilles injury now Jackson? I thought he looked pretty good.
Speaker 1: No, I mean he like he got to the didn't
he got to the lot like he was playing well.
He was a good connector. And if you're getting offensive boards,
I'm never mad at a guy who's trying to get
offensive boards, you know what I'm saying, Like, Yeah, it's
difficult to be upset at someone at a center trying
to do that. So it's yeah.
Speaker 2: He's all out. I mean he gives a great effort
out there. I think fans are really gonna like what
they see. What they say Jackson probably playing fifteen man
to night now well.
Speaker 1: And I like the professionalism too, right, Like you come
to a new team, you don't play, and then it's
like all right, coming in. He just stayed ready, Like
I feel like we used to have a player who
talked about staying ready all the time and was also
a locker room malcontent, and this is a guy who
actually did stay ready. And again, the vibes post trade
deadline haven't changed. If anything, they've gotten better. And he
also fits that like that is the fact that the
chemistry has seemingly gotten that or even before it was
already good is I don't know. It's like terrible things
are happening around us, right, but we're like set up
to deal with them, I guess better than we have
been in a while.
Speaker 2: Yeah, even without you know John Collins right now too,
this team has been able to get by. They're also
used to having a few guys down and out. Yeah,
and as long as you have Kawhi playing and at
this level you have a chance out there. Your floors
is pretty decent.
Speaker 1: And they're showing up every night like that was That's
been the common thing that fans are worried about of
like what team are we getting tonight from the Clippers,
And for the most part, it's been a professional team,
like a team that like they took care of business
last night. Man out too, he's out for the whole trip. Yeah,
he's out for the two games. Yeah, everyone who's in
the play it is hurt right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, and there's a real opportunity. I mean, seventh
is going to be hard to get to jump Phoenix,
but getting the seven eight, just getting the seven eight,
even if you got to go on the road to
Phoenix and the seven eight matchup, you can deal with that.
Speaker 1: To Mayor Azari, who's a wonderful reporter and who's been
on March Watch, I should say to Mayor has been
on top on top of March Watch.
Speaker 2: Do we know anyone else who's been on Marchwatch?
Speaker 1: No? I hey, hey, you know, I don't know. But
like he broke it down here, like the Suns, no
Dylan Brooks, the Mark Williams news was crazy. Warriors obviously
a crazy amount of injuries. Clippers no John Collins, no
Yannick Blazers, no Tedny no shading Shark. Like it's a
it's it's gross in a it's gross in a way
that is kind of wonderful for basketball fans because like
this is like these are teams who are truly scratching
and cline not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like all of these none of these teams can
tank any harder than the team, you know what I mean,
Like it's not like you can tank at this point
if you're if you have thirty wins or thirty five
wins and get a really good pick.
Speaker 2: What's like the anti tank move? Is it dropping a
grenade in there? Is there certain artillery that you'd use
against the tank? You like?
Speaker 1: I think the anti I think I think you're going
all the way end of the spectrum. I think you're
a conscientious objector the anti tank. The anti tank move
is is standing in front of the tank, right, is that?
Speaker 2: Adam Silber?
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, well no, well that's that's made for the Patreon. Yeah,
I yeah, none of these teams like you can't take
if you're these teams like it's too late.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're out, like you have to you.
Speaker 1: Have to try. So it's a really it's a gross
last like kind of third of the season. And Darius
Garland also out for the Clippers tomorrow against the Spurs.
Were you surprised to see that?
Speaker 2: On the No, I said, I try to warn people.
He's not going to play them back to both games
of back to backs people play. The Memphis game also
gets him an extra day off.
Speaker 1: So yes, the Spurs are playing very good basketball. They
have the best defense since the All Star break. They're
shooting almost forty percent from three as a team other
than thirty and ten and five from Kawhi, maybe forty
and ten. What do you think we need tomorrow?
Speaker 2: M probably Kobe and Jordan to at least have.
Speaker 1: Ten like to become their mistakes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to one of them probably has to go for twenty.
Maybe have one of those type of games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we need to be close to the four to
twenty club, Like we need maybe three guys to be
close to twenty.
Speaker 2: Gonna need Ben to have another efficient game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that. He made a three last night.
He's moved his I mean I've been tracking this in
a very nihilistic way. He's moved his three point percentage
with the Clippers up from fifteen percent to eighteen percent.
Speaker 2: What what his takes and makes from three?
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me look at that Basketball Reference always
in the chat. Do me a favor, honest. Let me
know when you go to Basketball Reference PERCN, my browser
gets hammered by basketball. It's only spreadsheets. I don't get why.
I think it's their ads or something, but every time
I go to it, my computer like throws up and
I don't understand why. Okay, his totals. He is had
oh man thirty two to three point attempts per basketball
round what he has had six makes. He's at eighteen percent.
He was at fifteen percent before the game last night,
but he went one for three, which bumped him up
three point eight percent. He's being it's gonna, it's gonna.
Someone corrected me on the YouTube about what I said
last time. It's not a progression to the mean. It
all is a regression to the meat he is. If
you're if you rewatch this, please let me know because
I appreciate that note. But he is going to regress
to his career average of thirty four percent, which is
higher than thirty four percent because the eighteen percent is
tanking it. He shot thirty five percent from three for
the Pacers, like he's lit his like I'm doo. Game
is going to be like seven for eight from three.
Speaker 2: So if he went four for his next seven, now,
he'd be a twenty six percent from three on the season.
Speaker 1: Right, Like, But we need that tomorrow against the Spurs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got to take him too, because that was
part of the problem as of late. I can't I
really thinks Orlando the game winner miss I think got
in his head.
Speaker 1: Which is tough because he clearly had guys support after that,
KAUI dapt him up, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean, Like, you know, he's a perfectionist
or whatever, his own own worst enemy, toughest critic.
Speaker 1: He's a perfectionist or whatever. But he has been good
at getting to the line, which the Clippers do a
lot better than the Spurs.
Speaker 2: Surely that will make up for a team shooting forty
three percent from an outside It has for the Clippers
overall the last month they've been getting by. The free
throws have been huge. But this is maybe biting off
more and you can chew. It's gonna be tough, but
they're at least on a back to back.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is the second light of a back to back.
They're playing right now. Do we think like defensively verse
uh Webby? Are we going to see something bob on
Webby minutes?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I was thinking, you know, if they had John Collins,
they'd probably try to go small ball five. Well, they
do it with Batoom, then.
Speaker 1: They might throw DJ all there right, like, are hurt? Well,
guys are hurt.
Speaker 2: I've seen Batom against him before and he obviously knows
Webby and it's you know, it's not the worst idea
in the world. For a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: Webby did play thirty nine minutes today.
Speaker 2: He also had a big flop where he might have
gotten hurt. I think it was okay, but he had
a hard fall.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had a Aside from the hard fall, he
had thirty nine minutes and thirty nine points to go
along with sixteen boards and five blocks. Yeah, I'm feeling
I'm not feeling incredibly confident about tomorrow night. I do
think we've gotten to comment on our YouTube channel and
on Twitter a couple of times about how people who
are happy that Lopez is the starting center because his
shooting ability will pull Webby out of the paint.
Speaker 2: When I remember those days, it's the spacing with Lopez,
He's stretching the floor. He's much better than a beats
of zoo bots. And you know what happened those days.
Speaker 1: And the thing with the Spurs specifically is that Webby
is so good and agile that he yeah, pull him
out of the paint. He'll get to the paint, you
know what I mean, Like.
Speaker 2: Or I might put somebody else on brook Lopez, right,
with it so he can just roam.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be. I I don't feel incredibly confident tomorrow,
but they've already started the back the March three and out,
so it's like, lose the game against the Spurs, I
understand that I.
Speaker 2: Just gotta get one of the next two. Yeah, they'll
be in great shape, great shape because.
Speaker 1: Of the injuries that great.
Speaker 2: Be in decent shape.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's gonna be just bombed.
Speaker 2: Like it just was just really fun and exciting watching
on it play. You know, throughout the fresh air. All
of a sudden, the Clippers feel like they got all
this athleticism from all these different places. You know, DJ
is back, you got Yannick out there with John Collins, Mathern.
You got these athletes now, like Garla's pushing the pace.
It's it's quite the remodel. But missing that big man
and Yonick who had the crazy oop to end that
first quarter from Garland.
Speaker 1: Man and he was killing it.
Speaker 2: I really thought that he was going to be the
starting center by the end of the season.
Speaker 1: He probably was. Like we also again we mentioned it
last episode, but Brook Lopez has been good. Yeah, he's
been great.
Speaker 2: He was good yesterday too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was. I also like the I like how
the team bounced back and obviously took something out of
the team.
Speaker 2: Oh, they scored the rest of the second quarter after
the injury. They scored eight points.
Speaker 1: They score for four minutes straight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a section from the end of the
second into the third where they in a twelve minute
span they scored thirteen points. Yeah, it was rough, but
they responded. Jay Huff did a couple of threes and
they put him away after that.
Speaker 1: Jay Huff also found the hell out of Kawhi.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was crazy.
Speaker 1: You know what was funny is I saw an aggregator account.
I don't know what it was, but they tweeted something
that was like, it's crazy, No one's talking about Kawhi
Leonard having his highest points per game, And I was like,
some people are talking about it. Some of us are
talking about it. He's killing it.
Speaker 2: Oh there's some people out there that still thinks he
plays four games a year or something like that, and
they've just stereotyped him and it's ridiculous. So sorry, go ahead,
No joke's on you, guys. I mean you're missing a
great basketball player. Yes, it's been amazing.
Speaker 1: So if we split this back to back, the Clippers
are at four and one out of it possible eighteen
games in March, as good as it could possibly go.
We're talking about the immediate now. Obviously Yanick is out
as terrible. That is brutal, that's difficult, But the foreign
a foreward one start, I'm fine, Like, yeah, we're still
gonna go as far as I had thought we were
gonna go in this season.
Speaker 2: But in this season or in March.
Speaker 1: No, I mean in the with Yannick's injury. I mean, like,
Yanick's injury to me doesn't change the trajectory of the
team in terms of like how far they will go
season wise.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it would have been nice though, if
they do get san Antonio in the first round and
be like, man, be cool to have you Onick in
this matchup. Would have been fun to see that.
Speaker 1: Damn Yeah, it would have been fun. But it doesn't
it'll change, you know, Like, yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Think Puncher's chance like Santo's really good. They also have
one guy who's been in a first round series before.
Speaker 1: True, but the Clippers also, I mean, yeah, that that
is true, but but you know, you do that best
player thing, right, you take all the players, and that's
where I think the Clippers fall a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know if it's that much
of a drop off just because they have so much youth,
Like I don't know some of those guys are gonna respond.
Speaker 1: But weirdly now, the Clippers kind of have like some
experience in experienced guys too.
Speaker 2: Right, Like oh, Mathroom was just in Game seven of
the NBA Finals, and Carlin's got some playoff experience, and.
Speaker 1: But like Kobe Sanders is gonna get min It's like
I'm just saying, I still think it's like a five
game series.
Speaker 2: It could be a SANTOI plays with their potential. My
point is like maybe they don't because of their inexperience.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, maybe maybe Webby shrinks. Maybe he crumbles
on the spotlight.
Speaker 2: He's just jacking up a lot of threes and not
punishing him in pain. I don't know that is true.
Speaker 1: He's terrified. He goes brook Lopez, he goes he's from
North Hollywood. I'm terrified of this guy.
Speaker 2: I also, I just like seeing what coach Luke could
scheme up well.
Speaker 1: And I mean Kawhi is playing on a level where
if Kawhi, like this version of Kawhi and the playoffs
puts up.
Speaker 2: Forty against San Antonio, right like against the team, I
think I think it would be a punch of chance.
Speaker 1: Did everyone see how big this was a really funny thing.
I thought the Clippers team got and posted because you
don't Kawhi was like, uh laughing of the tarback to
go up to the plane today, Like this doesn't even
look like Kawhi, you know what I mean? Like I think,
like this is such a funny, Like it's just they
used to never post photos of Kawhi Leonard like laughing
or smiling, and not because he was obviously, but I
know it was just funny to see, Like, yeah, it's
like funny. It's like if you typed into Ai Kawhi
Leonard smiling, Like Kawhi is the only generating the image.
Speaker 2: Obviously, maybe somebody could like superimpose him or do an
Ai thing of him where it's Lebron saying I can't
believe this is my life in the pool.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I think it was a hot tub even weirder,
just him, just him with a hot tub. Oh it's
a weird. If There's one thing this Clippers team is
good at. It is bouncing back. As you've seen from
this year. Even the trade deadlight can be attestament to that.
Speaker 2: They know adversity as well as anybody, especially injury adversity.
What Doc Rivers used to say word disruptors. Injuries disruptors.
Speaker 1: Clipper Nick says, I'm so sad.
Speaker 2: It is sad.
Speaker 1: End Zop fifty says this hurts man. Yeah, it sucks.
Speaker 2: I mean, Yannick's a fan favorite. Everybody loves watching Yick.
Speaker 1: People love Yannick. This guy's saying Brook Lopez has been terrible.
He has not been terrible. That is objectively untrue. He was, yeah,
completely serviceable and done what the Clippers needed him to do.
I will say I was maybe against the three center idea.
I don't like the two center idea at all with
Lopez and Jackson because I'm worried about the direct like
he's just an older player, and I worry about the
minute slope that Lopez is gonna have to deal with.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, for sure. I hope they get John Collins
back on Monday.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Ali Malik, who if Ali Balik is ever putting
on a comedy show in your neighborhood in Los Angeles,
go watch it. No, he John Collins is out for
the trip in his two games, and we'll see, like
I don't know what, like what was he diagnosed with?
Let me pull the.
Speaker 2: I think it was next ornist, basically saying, and he
reaggravated the same injury. Now we're gonna, you know, keep
him out even longer to make sure there isn't a
third time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a next strain. He had swordus on
the twenty eighth at the twenty sixth. Man This season
has been, even for the Clippers, a roller coaster. I
saw footage of the Fast and Furious roller coaster they're
gonna open at Universal, and that is what this season
feels like.
Speaker 2: Put the Clippers logo on the front.
Speaker 1: Dude, it's too much, man like, like, so much has
happened that sometimes you forget that Chris Paul got removed
from the team. I haven't forgotten, like Bradley Beal was
the too, Like it's just.
Speaker 2: That that that's one that definitely like, yeah, manes, Bradley
Beal bobblehead last night.
Speaker 1: Multiple friends of mine have been like, I forgot Bradley
Beal was on the team.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yes, he was gonna be a big part
and be a starter. And yeah, now it's kind of
bendic mathm. It's doing some of that stuff.
Speaker 1: I want to I want to entertain this one thing
real quick, and then we're gonna probably put this user
on the time out. But he said, Lopez is so slow. Yeah,
he's very slow.
Speaker 2: Thanks.
Speaker 1: We get that.
Speaker 2: He's still faster than you when it comes to computing basketball.
Speaker 1: He's serviceable in what he he knows how to play
professional basketball. Him and Nick Patoub fill the same role.
Can you play professional NBA basketball? They can? And when
they're good, it's perfect at what they do. And when
they're bad, obviously it doesn't look very good.
Speaker 2: It turns out most guys who are seven to and
two hundred and seventy pounds aren't that fast.
Speaker 1: And thirty eight or however fucking old he is, like
you're going on time out where it's only positive.
Speaker 2: Has good instincts. Still, it's okay, he's savvy.
Speaker 1: It's only positivity right now, Like things are not.
Speaker 2: I was doing okay till then that guy ruined it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we we I don't want to say the Clipper.
They're obviously not going to let just like say whatever
to the game tomorrow they can get the dub versus
the Grizzlies, and it's we're.
Speaker 2: Going a lot to go right tomorrow, a lot.
Speaker 1: To go right. And then they play the Nix on Monday,
which is difficult. That one's tough. But hopefully John Collins
is back. How long was Collins out with the next
thing before?
Speaker 2: There's a little old a week because he heard it
against the Lakers, right, Yeah, like Kawhi then played two
days later and then he was out for a week,
so maybe it was like eight days.
Speaker 1: He's playing so good. Yeah, even when he came back
from the injury. Oh, Trouser J. Slacks wants us to
sign bowl Ball. They signed anybody not bowl Bull, No disrespect,
Trouser J. Slacks, thank you for always being in a
chat and watching. We do appreciate that. Do we think
they sign anybody?
Speaker 2: Well, they had the Jilliague guy from Nick or rogwell
out last night. He was playing at the very end.
Speaker 1: The Clippers do do this thing sometimes, where like they
signed the Armenian guy. Sometimes they just do stuff I
think for pr which fired whatever, but that guy did
not look very good at basketball for what the Clippers
need right now, Like they need a guy who knows
how to play professional basketball. It's not gonna be a
good guy, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Like, like, I just don't know who are they gonna
get that's gonna take minutes away from Brook Lopez or
Isaiah Jackson? But why not just play Isaiah Jackson more
because he's gonna likely be better than the guy that
you bring in.
Speaker 1: Damn you know that. I just googled free agent centers
on Google. Sent me immediately to NFL centers that time
of the year. Still the I mean still the Numberwood League.
Uh ex Bogo project asking what's up with Bogey? Is
he totally out of the rotation? Yes, he didn't play
at all last night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe he plays. I think he'll play in some
of these back to backs coming up in Mars, just
because there's so many games going on. I don't know
if he'll play a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking at the free agent centers. It's not good.
Speaker 2: Well it's March.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like who are we who are we exciting?
Speaker 2: You know who? Who's taking minutes away from the two
guys that you should be able to get by with,
especially when John Collins is back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, calls go back as big.
Speaker 2: The Tom can play some five.
Speaker 1: Calls play the five, but can play the five characters.
I play some five, Honestly, anybody like.
Speaker 2: Karns Man played five Terrence.
Speaker 1: Now that those two weeks he had to play one,
he had to play. It's one through five. Bulls here
in the Philippines. So much bull bull talk. They're not
signed shirt, they're not getting him?
Speaker 2: Is that dumb as shack? In the in the chat
saying bull bull is just as good as when.
Speaker 1: Someone's talking the difference, someone's talking about the ship on Kawhi.
They're getting put in time out. Where's Mason Plumbley on
a team?
Speaker 2: Big?
Speaker 1: He's absolutely on a team right.
Speaker 2: Yeah he was? Is he back in Charlotte? Where was
he at?
Speaker 1: Yeah? He's in I think he's in Charlotte. Oh wait, No,
he signed with the Spurs for the remainder of the season.
Speaker 2: He got cut's we're seeing him tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We're gonna watch him tomorrow. Mason Plumbley's gonna ruin our
lives tomorrow, Clipper Nick.
Speaker 2: Fuck, he's gonna sham got us due that.
Speaker 1: What a horrible experience. That was oh h, I don't know.
Someone said to Marcus Cousins, No, the Clippers are gonna
be all right, it's gonna be fine.
Speaker 2: Play Isaiah Jackson. None of these guys you break it
up are better than the guy that's already here.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be okay. Isaiah Jackson was He was great
last night for what his role is and that lens.
He was fantastic.
Speaker 2: I think I think people are gonna warm up to
him quick just because how hard he plays.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everyone go watch lot Berry talk to the post game,
which was a good time, and he was like, I
just stayed ready like it was.
Speaker 2: We had him on the radio right afterwards. He's nice,
he's excited.
Speaker 1: He's a fair question. Will we ever get an exception
for beal? Do we get the disabled player exception? I
don't think so. A fair question?
Speaker 2: Done by now?
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he broke us him. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yes, that was weird too.
Speaker 1: Someone's this guy's on subscribing. I cannot stress how little
I care about someone that I'm subscribing. Did we put
on time out for being an idiot? Fine?
Speaker 2: Can you oh that was the guy that you put
in time out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lopez, Yeah, fine, I don't. We don't. That's fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Isaiah Jackson is a good dude, and he can play
and he can hoop.
Speaker 2: Isaiah Jackson is also here, like he's here the next
two seasons after this. This is not an under shifted
free agents, so it's important to find out what you
have with him and what his ceiling is.
Speaker 1: Good call how old is he?
Speaker 2: He's like twenty four.
Speaker 1: He's exactly twenty four. Damn man, he was born in
two thousand and two. I don't like that. Don't like
him as a thirty six year old. I don't like
that someone can be bored in two thousand. I went up, Cooperman,
good to see you.
Speaker 2: Reggie Evans camp here in the chats. Not bad for
Isiah Jackson.
Speaker 1: Wait where's that? Where's that at?
Speaker 2: Somebody said it? Uh? Was it? They already school by?
Speaker 1: I got it.
Speaker 2: The bearded Beast Brian Seeman used to call Reggie Evans.
Speaker 1: Shout up, Ryan Semen. Man, you know, it was such
a blowout last night that they started talking about Lee
Jacobs and showed him on the broadcast, which is something
I don't think that happens. If the game was close
in any way, It was very funny.
Speaker 2: We started riffing about our engineer, big brother Jake Warner,
and talking about that he was known for fouling early
hard in high school and using all five fouls. Hell yeah,
and then the game had like a million pre throws. Really,
this game's dedicated to big brother Jake.
Speaker 1: Warning, that's a good bit. Clipper Nick is asking, well, tomorrow,
finally the of the day we get to five hundred.
Probably not would be my guess, but I will let
out of way in m.
Speaker 2: I mean you said probably not.
Speaker 1: I said probably.
Speaker 4: Oh, there's a chance they're on back to back if
the Clippers are playing well, just as long as they
play hard like.
Speaker 2: They're gonna be in games. And uh, they were pretty
damn focused for the most part against the Pacers outside
of you know, seeing their teammate go down like that
and obviously it probably rattled.
Speaker 1: Them and they did bounce back a bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were great.
Speaker 1: They switched it on dob dot normal is asking what
does Lee Jenkins do? It's always been a mystery to me.
I think it's vibes.
Speaker 2: He's Pattie Mills.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a He's a phenomenal writer. He's a you
know what I mean, Like, I think he just brings
smart insights and vibe. Like I don't he doesn't do
anything for the Clippers, And I do not mean that
in a derogatory way at all.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing that he's a good voice in the room exactly.
Like it's just like he's got a basketball knowledge.
Speaker 1: And isn't his title something insane? It's like title, there
should be a database for everyone's title, like Fortune five
hundred companies. It is an insane title. Executive Director of
Research and Identity. That's it. That's such a funny title
to have.
Speaker 2: You think it's like Matthew McConaughey is the Master of
of Culture at Texas University.
Speaker 1: Yes, like yeah, it's like it's that's even Yeah, like
that is that is a very corporate title. Uh, And
I think it is very funny. It is funny that
it was such a blowout that people are like, wait,
who the fuck is Lee Jenkins a legendary writer? Like, yeah,
he's there for vibes. And I mean that in the
most respectful way possible.
Speaker 2: Did he break Kawhi or excuse me, uh Lebron going
back to Cleveland, did he have that.
Speaker 1: Oh that was Pinglore.
Speaker 2: I think was it.
Speaker 1: Brown? Yeah? I think he did, Yes, he did. Lee
James or Lebron James is told to Lee Jenkins, I'm
coming back to Cleveland. Yeah, vibe he does. Vibes.
Speaker 2: Oh, I get I love it.
Speaker 1: It's working, I think. So you're saying Clippers are split
in the back to.
Speaker 2: Back Yeah, yeah, which is fine the month and one.
Speaker 1: Start off the month, four and one after one week
of the month. Pretty damn good. A lot of games
you want to build that that threshold because hell is coming.
Speaker 2: This is about the Knicks on Monday.
Speaker 1: It's honestly, it's about the Pelicans back to back in
the middle of the month. Yeah, that's like, that's such
a pain of the ass.
Speaker 2: Why couldn't they have kept their first round pick so
they were have incentive to take.
Speaker 1: Right That would have been great. Well, remember was like
maybe Jarreck Queen's worth it. It's like there's yeah, I
guess we'll see. Uh Yeah.
Speaker 2: Offense is pretty good.
Speaker 1: But yes, Ray j is saying executive director of Vibes
the dream job just be a locker room guy. But
in a corporate setting, you're making very easy jokes. You're
making you know, you're just yeah, awesome. What if we
win against Sacramento but lose against Memphis? Who cares? That'd
be great?
Speaker 2: Then they went one on one. I would actually I
would care how it happens. I'll be hon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's just go one in one, like Garland will
be back against the Grizzlies, which will be huge. That's
a nice like that, that energy inject you know what
I mean on the second end of a back to back,
is is a good time? Who's your player of the
game for this back to back before we get out
of here?
Speaker 2: Uh? You know what? Give me? I like the way
Jordan Miller's playing.
Speaker 1: We have not talked about him as very much, but
that Yes, he's kind of done everything the clips have
needed him to do it more. I like the Jordan
Miller pick. I might go because it's got to be
someone who plays them both. Obviously, I go with Derek
Jones Junior. Yeah, I'm going Derek Jone junior. Ali Beleague
is asking when do you think Garland gets the start.
I think let's call it a ten game sample size.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a loss. Thought maybe middle of March,
which with how.
Speaker 1: The schedule is. Yeah, that back to back against the
Pelicans makes it kind of weird. But yeah, I think
it's probably like ten.
Speaker 2: Games, so maybe by the end of next week.
Speaker 1: Maybe, Yeah, because he also does have fee back into
game shape, like, oh, we got a Canadian dollar? How
much is that?
Speaker 2: Isn't Benedict Canadian?
Speaker 1: Yes, Benedict is Canadian?
Speaker 2: Is this him?
Speaker 1: This guy just gave us seventy three cents?
Speaker 2: I should.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's a good call. Adam takes Benedict mathin
if Math, I want math Benedict Matherine having the like
I'm out of the slope now thing against the Spurs
where he goes like you know, he's been He's had
games where he's gone over. So this is the game
where he goes six for seven. I would love that three. Yes,
go six for seven from three tomorrow against the Spurs,
go two for six the next day. That's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, they're gonna have need to have some outlier
shooting against San Antonio.
Speaker 1: Yes, I was just about to say outlier.
Speaker 2: They deserve it.
Speaker 1: We did. Why not us? They deserve it, We deserve it.
All right, We're ending it on that note because Adam's
absolutely correct. Thank you to everyone who hung out. If
