1 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,679 Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans, Welcome to a Clips 2 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,320 and Dip Happy Hour live. We do these most fridays 3 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,440 that the Clippers don't play. I am Chuck Mockler, joined 4 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,079 by Adam Oslin and William Updyke, who's eating a shit 5 00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:27,600 ton of chips right now, but is on mute, which 6 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:34,079 is great. No dip. Excuse me, no dip, which feels 7 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,880 kind of sacrilege. But we are Clips and Dip. Thank 8 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,000 you for hanging out. If you're listening to the audio 9 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,399 of this, you can always find us on YouTube dot 10 00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:44,399 complished at Clippers podcast and click the bell when we 11 00:00:44,439 --> 00:00:49,560 want to go live, y'all, I gotta change the graphics 12 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:57,079 real quick because we might be back in hell. What 13 00:00:57,159 --> 00:01:00,000 are we doing out there? We've lost fo in a row. 14 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,200 We lost to the Pels twice in a row, sixty 15 00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:07,159 percent from the free throw line in game two. The 16 00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:10,120 Pels had their first fifty to forty ninety game of 17 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:15,439 the season against us the day before. What's going on? 18 00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: Is that Marty gar going on in Hill? Is that 19 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,480 just New Orleans in the background? 20 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,439 Speaker 1: We have that representation or this representation. 21 00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:31,799 Speaker 2: I see the skulls coming out of the smoke there. 22 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not as good. Well, what's going on with 23 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,840 the Clippers? Are they just tired? 24 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's a combination of tired 25 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,879 injuries are sort of adding up. Mounting up two back 26 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,959 to back to the Pells is a little it's a 27 00:01:48,959 --> 00:01:51,480 little incomprehensible. I mean, we talked ahead of time about 28 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,280 how it is certainly hard to beat the same team 29 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,560 twice in a in a back to back for some. 30 00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:01,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, not for the Pells. 31 00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:04,599 Speaker 3: Apparently not for the Pels. They proved us wrong. 32 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,719 Speaker 1: The game rules everyone and obviously guys are out. That 33 00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:10,759 is the issue with March right now. But they look 34 00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:16,719 gas yesterday. Missing that many free throws is a tired issue, right, Adam. 35 00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:20,159 Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't know if that was it. I they 36 00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:25,080 missed three in the first quarter, Like, I'm sure that's 37 00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:29,400 that's some facet of what's happening here. But maybe just 38 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,240 a lack of concentration, you know, you try to key 39 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,919 in on everything else. They were playing hard, they were 40 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,599 playing with great effort, and then you lose it with 41 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,840 the freebies. It's it's brutal, but it only happens in 42 00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:44,599 New Orleans and there's no doubt there has to be 43 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:45,759 some mental thing going on. 44 00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:50,719 Speaker 1: Well, Justin Rousseau, our favorite French Canadian reporter, put out 45 00:02:50,719 --> 00:02:55,280 a tweet that kind of depressed me, which was the 46 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:01,759 Clippers are nine and nine this season against the Bulls, Grizzlies, Jazz, Kings, Mavericks, 47 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,560 and Peals. Hindsight is twenty twenty, but those are some 48 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,080 killer losses to have. He's not wrong about that. 49 00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 2: How many of those have come December twenty. 50 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 3: I was gonna say, yeah, like, how much of that 51 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,280 is December? 52 00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: Hey, I'm just saying what mister Rousseau told us. 53 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 2: I'm guessing it's heavily weighted on that six and twenty 54 00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:23,759 one star. 55 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,719 Speaker 1: Well, and two of them are from the last two nights. 56 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:34,479 Speaker 2: To be fair, I think the majority might be when 57 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,400 they were playing terrible for yeah, thirty games. 58 00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:40,719 Speaker 1: This four game winning losing streak, excuse me, I wish 59 00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:43,960 it were a winning streak. We're gonna change the graphics now. 60 00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:48,800 Is they've been very bad during this four game losing streak. 61 00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:56,719 The thing that I think is most worrisome is they're 62 00:03:56,759 --> 00:04:01,400 not shooting well at all. But teams are playing pretty 63 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,560 good offense against the Clippers when they're not getting turnovers. 64 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,879 The Clippers are twenty third and opponent three point percentage. 65 00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:12,560 They're twenty second in opponent field goal percentage. Like this 66 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,560 is the defense is what I'm most worried about. I think, Wait, 67 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:22,040 that's just for these four games that's been since the 68 00:04:22,399 --> 00:04:26,279 All Star Break. Sorry, they're twenty third in net rating 69 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,439 during this four game losing streak. They're not shooting from three, well, 70 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,040 they're twenty fifth and three point percentage. They're twenty eighth 71 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,120 in assistant turnover ratio, and they're not grabbing boards. They're 72 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,360 twenty ninth in rebounds per game and twenty eighth the 73 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,199 rebound percentage since over these last four games. So like 74 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,600 it's going to even out, But right now it just 75 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,439 looks like fatigue. I think. I think they're rebounding numbers 76 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,720 and the fact that we have two centers that don't 77 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:03,000 exactly prioritize rebounding. It's it's just tough. I don't know 78 00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:06,439 where are you at. What is they gotta go eight 79 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,079 and four over these next twelve to be over five hundred. 80 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,920 What's a real problem? And what is maybe something that's 81 00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:18,199 going to go back to the mean regress? If you 82 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,120 will uh. 83 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 2: Real problem the injuries. I don't know if Kawhi is 84 00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:28,240 going to be one hundred percent before the end of 85 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,079 the regular season. 86 00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:33,319 Speaker 1: Questionable for tomorrow as well against the Maps. 87 00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:36,879 Speaker 2: I just don't know, like if there's enough time to 88 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,240 ever heal up, because I don't think he's going to 89 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,879 take another week off because they can't afford to as 90 00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:46,959 long as it's you know, just pain tolerance. We saw 91 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,879 that clip of him grimacing running down the court the 92 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:50,399 other night. 93 00:05:50,879 --> 00:05:53,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, the game we were supposed to beat the Pelicans 94 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,920 in because everyone was playing. 95 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, they definitely chase that win and we're up. We're 96 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,279 definitely up eighteen in the first quarter. Yes, definitely still 97 00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:09,879 lost by fifteen. I think the defense also, you talk 98 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:16,639 about regressing to the mean. So their defense the last 99 00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:20,839 sixteen games post All Star Break is twenty first, right, 100 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,839 but the defense on the season seventy games is nineteen 101 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:33,759 they So, yeah, I don't know, Like I think they 102 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,800 can be better than that in spurts and stretches, but 103 00:06:39,319 --> 00:06:43,480 it's not going to change drastically in the next twelve games. 104 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,000 They're not going to be it. They're not going to 105 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,560 end the season a above average defense. 106 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: That's brutal. And that was one of your big worries 107 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,920 coming into this season, was kind of not being able 108 00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:58,480 to get back to that defensive identity. 109 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and some of it was injuries early on 110 00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:07,360 and roster shakeups and stuff. And they definitely have had 111 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,519 stretches where they played good defense. I want to say 112 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,560 in January they were playing like a top ten defense, 113 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:23,439 but it hasn't been sustainable enough. And yeah, that's the transition. 114 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,920 Defense has kind of been a problem. But you know 115 00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:31,519 the Pelicans yesterday, how many fast breakpoints did they have? 116 00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:35,040 Was it zero? Was it two? They had a ton 117 00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:40,800 in Game one? And then I feel like the Clippers 118 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,120 were so much better in a couple of areas and 119 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,399 it still didn't matter. They still lost it. The free 120 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:46,839 throw on. 121 00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: The Clippers won fast break points eight to nothing. 122 00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:54,199 Speaker 2: They didn't give up a single fast break point yesterday, 123 00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:56,399 and I think they gave up like twenty two or 124 00:07:56,439 --> 00:07:59,279 twenty four in Game one, and they still lost Game 125 00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:02,480 two because they just could hit three thrust. It's ridiculous. 126 00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:07,959 Speaker 1: Russhare, Well, what's the cure here? Obviously we're gonna be 127 00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:11,199 in the play in the Clippers. This is an incredibly 128 00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:12,319 stressful end of the season. 129 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 3: It's so tight right now. Like if you thought, if 130 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,279 you thought we might get home court advantage in that 131 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,920 seven eight matchup, that's gone, Like, that's that's completely out 132 00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:26,040 the window. We're five games behind the Suns that you know, 133 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,800 there's a better chance of somebody falling into that seven 134 00:08:29,839 --> 00:08:32,080 eight matchup than there is us getting home court for 135 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,320 the plan. Now, the thing to watch is we're dead 136 00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:38,600 even record wise with the with the Blazers. 137 00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: We're half Warriors. 138 00:08:39,799 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 3: The Warriors only half a game. They're twenty. They're like, 139 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,159 they're like half a game behind the Clippers and uh 140 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:52,440 and Blazers. So you gotta pull it together enough to 141 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,120 at least stay in that seven eight play in matchup 142 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,559 and then you know, let the chips fall as they may. 143 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,960 But if you're looking for, you know, any any sort 144 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,720 of like series that has the potential, like the potential 145 00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:10,919 to go longer than five games, I think that's your best. 146 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:12,759 I think that's your best hope. 147 00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: A lot of people have said, you're like, oh, the Clippers, 148 00:09:16,879 --> 00:09:19,399 they have the sixth, they have an easier schedule for 149 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,200 the rest of the season, right they have the sixth 150 00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:24,039 easiest schedule when it comes to opponent win percentage. 151 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,639 Speaker 3: But what talk about the end of the season though, 152 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,240 the actual end of the season. 153 00:09:28,519 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: And the other issue is the Blazers have the third 154 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,840 easiest and the Warriors have the eighth easiest, and so 155 00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:35,519 it's like, and. 156 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 3: The Blazers and the Warriors are our last two games. 157 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,879 Speaker 1: We played the Blazers two more times and the Warriors 158 00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:43,879 the last game of the season, with one of those 159 00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:48,600 Blazers matchups being two days before that Warriors game. So 160 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,759 it will come down quite literally to the end of 161 00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:54,960 the season for the Clippers for if they're going to 162 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,120 be in the nine ten, like. 163 00:09:57,159 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 2: The schedules, like it's bullshit, how quickly how that situation 164 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,279 is hahha. The Lakers have the top three toughest strength 165 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,399 of schedule and then they play two games and now 166 00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:13,440 they have the fifteenth toughest strength of schedule left. It 167 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,399 can change so drastically, dramatically. But I was just looking 168 00:10:17,399 --> 00:10:21,799 through all defensive ratings for each month this season for 169 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,879 the Clippers, and they've had only one month where they 170 00:10:24,879 --> 00:10:28,000 have been a top ten defense, and that's when they 171 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,000 were ninth in December. That's pretty alarming. 172 00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:33,639 Speaker 1: When they have they been above average or is that 173 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,840 the only month they've been even above average. 174 00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: I think they've been above average a couple of times. 175 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,639 Speaker 1: But pretty close, like probably what like fourteenth and fifteenth. 176 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:49,039 Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, it's not great. It's kind of shocking. 177 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,279 Speaker 1: I would say nineteenth when you said that, Yeah, I 178 00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:57,759 was a little jarred by it being nineteenth. That feels 179 00:10:57,799 --> 00:11:01,879 lower than But it's also like they're a five hundred team. 180 00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:06,559 What really? What realistically with the numbers, Kahi, what would 181 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:12,480 you expect it to be? Yeah, I mean record wise 182 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,200 and everything, Yeah, like fifty. 183 00:11:15,039 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 2: Their offense being better than their defense. I don't I 184 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,799 don't know, I don't know. 185 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 1: I think I think that's helped by the fact that 186 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,360 Kawhi is having his best offensive season. 187 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. 188 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,399 Speaker 1: Shout out Kawhi. Great playing through it. 189 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 2: He's also missed twenty games. Now what are we at? 190 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,320 How close is he to missing out on postseason awards? 191 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: Here? Which god man, hard pivot, but Cad Cunningham having 192 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,279 to miss out on postseason stuff because of the collapse 193 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,960 lung and the game's rule is insane. 194 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 2: It's stupid, brutal. The voters should be able to distinguish. 195 00:11:55,799 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 1: Right what they're not idiots. 196 00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:02,039 Speaker 3: It's like it was part of the conversation before you 197 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,600 know what I mean, It was like, but he's only 198 00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:05,039 played amount of games or whatever. 199 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, whatever, Kawhi can only miss one more 200 00:12:08,919 --> 00:12:13,120 game before being ruled ineligible for awards such as all NBA. 201 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,600 All right, and he's probably missing one more game, right, 202 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,159 the Clippers had that's over. 203 00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 2: I got twelve left. 204 00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, but how many more back to backs? 205 00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:24,519 Speaker 3: One? 206 00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: I think only one? Damn shout out us. I think, well, 207 00:12:32,919 --> 00:12:36,159 there's only one, but they play every other day. 208 00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:39,759 Speaker 3: Could they do a couple of just the ceremonial starts 209 00:12:39,879 --> 00:12:41,039 or whatever, because there's. 210 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,799 Speaker 1: There's only you have to play twenty minutes. 211 00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 3: It's twenty minutes. Now. 212 00:12:44,919 --> 00:12:48,279 Speaker 1: It's crazy because that's why Chris Dunn couldn't get all 213 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,519 in all defensive stuff. 214 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,039 Speaker 3: I guess I forgot that it was a full twenty minutes. 215 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,879 Speaker 1: Shit. Yeah, it's kind of crazy. So the Clippers, there's 216 00:12:56,879 --> 00:12:59,279 only one more back to back, but they play Saturday 217 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:06,080 than Money Day, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday. Like it. 218 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,240 It's just every other day until April seventh and eighth, 219 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,679 which is a back to back at home against the Maps. 220 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,559 On the thunder and then they travel. They end on 221 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,799 a four and five. 222 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 3: Let's go fallas Wait, I thought there was only one 223 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,440 more back to back. Sorry. 224 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: They play April seventh, April eighth, April tenth, April twelfth. 225 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,720 The happy hour drink is getting to me. But they 226 00:13:35,799 --> 00:13:39,440 have to travel, man, that's so stupid. 227 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 2: It's a lot of stupid stuff going around, a lot 228 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,279 of shit going around. It's in the air. 229 00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: So how are we? We don't know how the season's 230 00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:54,519 gonna end. They had to go ten and one last 231 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,000 year to avoid the play in, and now it kind 232 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,679 of feels like we have to go what is it, 233 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,919 twelve games left? We have to go ten and two 234 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:08,200 to avoid the nine or ten seed. Does that feel fair? 235 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 2: I mean I would say that gets them that, Yeah, 236 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,759 that would guarantee them. 237 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:14,399 Speaker 3: Like, that would guarantee it. 238 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, what we think is the worst record that gets 239 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,200 them the eight and probably that eight and four? 240 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, depending, I mean obviously it's you know, then 241 00:14:23,799 --> 00:14:26,879 you're your outcome is kind of decided by what two 242 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:27,679 other teams do. 243 00:14:27,799 --> 00:14:32,519 Speaker 2: But of course, well they haven't. They have a game 244 00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:36,080 left against each right, one against Portland, one against two 245 00:14:36,279 --> 00:14:38,480 I believe two against against one against Golden State. 246 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,759 Speaker 1: I know we played Portland the last fittingly, we played 247 00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:48,120 Portland the last game of March, when we will be 248 00:14:48,159 --> 00:14:53,440 at our optimum powers. I mean, you win those three, 249 00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:04,440 that's true, honestly, let's just yeah, because having on we 250 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,320 were riding high last week, Adam, you and I. Once 251 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,279 Joseph got off the stream, we're very excited about. I 252 00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:12,720 sent him a link. I don't know if he's gonna 253 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:17,919 pop on. We're feeling great. What do we think the 254 00:15:17,919 --> 00:15:22,080 Clippers finish March at now? Record wise? Now that we've 255 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,679 had we've seen the fatigue, not only from the injuries, 256 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,799 but we've seen the guys on the court be fatigue. 257 00:15:27,919 --> 00:15:34,600 Brook Lopez looks exhausted. It's yeah, I. 258 00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: Still got them at eleven and seven, like they're on track, Yeah, 259 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,679 to finish eleven and seven and finish in the eighth spot. 260 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,200 I never bought into they could get up to the 261 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,559 sixth spot, and I thought the seventh spot was a 262 00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:49,600 feeling that probably there's no chance they're gonna get to either. 263 00:15:49,639 --> 00:15:51,639 And everybody's like, well, they just keep playing like how 264 00:15:51,679 --> 00:15:54,559 they're playing now, Yes, except right now they're not playing 265 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,279 eighteen games in thirty one days, and the schedule eventually 266 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,639 becomes your enemy two and you're apoon it out there. 267 00:16:01,399 --> 00:16:04,320 It's caught up to them, it's clear, but they still 268 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:12,639 have a relatively fair schedule remaining even in March. Mavericks, Bucks, Raptors, Pacers, 269 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,519 Pacers haven't won a damn game since the All Star break. 270 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: My gosh, ship and Zoo's out. Zoo broke a damn rib. 271 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,039 Speaker 2: Prayers up to Zoo. 272 00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:26,279 Speaker 1: You go to Indiana, you get that unhealthy food they're 273 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,159 trying to make in that number one thing, right, Yeah, 274 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,840 that shameless. 275 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna I'm just gonna assume they're keeping 276 00:16:35,879 --> 00:16:37,600 their pick at this point. I don't want to get 277 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,399 my hopes up because this is ridiculous a game since. 278 00:16:42,279 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: So, I saw a tweet from Justin Russo brought up 279 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,240 a thing where he was like, if it's not the 280 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,759 fifth pick, your odds of you know, drafting an All Star, 281 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,600 all that go pretty far down. So the Clippers really 282 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,720 this next draft should have been hoping for number five 283 00:17:01,159 --> 00:17:03,879 and kind of anything below that. You're like, eh, because 284 00:17:03,919 --> 00:17:08,519 the other alternative is that it's unprotected in twenty thirty one. 285 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, but if they get a number one pick and 286 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,559 have the team that they have. 287 00:17:13,559 --> 00:17:15,559 Speaker 1: I don't. They just lost Halliburton, and I know that 288 00:17:15,559 --> 00:17:18,680 anything goes can happen. Thing is shitty, but like Haliburton 289 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,000 towards you know, like, no. 290 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,599 Speaker 3: You're right, you're right, a completely unprotected pick. 291 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: And trade value wise, it's like, oh, it could even 292 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,000 be a boat, Like yeah, you'd. 293 00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 2: Rather risk Oh, we're looking towards twenty thirty one than 294 00:17:31,279 --> 00:17:33,920 maybe getting the sixth, seventh or eighth pick, this. 295 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: Ninth pick in this draft. Like it's like, okay, sick, 296 00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:38,200 but not. 297 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,079 Speaker 2: No, that's a good point. 298 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 3: That's a good point. 299 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen. They're gonna have the best odds 300 00:17:41,759 --> 00:17:43,920 to get the number one pick, apparently with the way 301 00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:47,400 they're going. Oh my god, but I know. I think 302 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,720 the last three teams though that had the best odds 303 00:17:49,759 --> 00:17:52,839 finished fifth. So it definitely won't happen again. 304 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:56,519 Speaker 1: Definitely what happened. 305 00:17:56,519 --> 00:17:59,799 Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just assuming this. I can. 306 00:18:01,599 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 3: It would not be mad, like so mad at that. 307 00:18:03,839 --> 00:18:05,799 I would not be mad at all at that outcome 308 00:18:05,839 --> 00:18:09,160 if somehow they ended up the worst team had the 309 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,319 highest likelihood and we still end up getting the bad 310 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,799 I mean, yeah, yeah, that'd be the greatest. 311 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,559 Speaker 1: And then there's also there's also the idea too of 312 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,640 say it does fall to the sixth pick in the draft, 313 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,119 that becomes a tradable thing. There's still moves to be made. 314 00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:29,640 Weird drafted, don't give me. 315 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 2: Also projecting with the draft. I know everybody's saying, all 316 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,599 this draft is loaded at the top. I have heard 317 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,240 this many times before. I say, the back over a 318 00:18:39,319 --> 00:18:42,039 ten year period and you have a twenty five percent 319 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,960 chance of drafting an All star within the top ten picks. 320 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,480 It's it's really difficult. It's there's no signs to it. 321 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,480 It's it's a craft. 322 00:18:50,519 --> 00:18:53,839 Speaker 1: Shoot. The only time they say it's a bad draft 323 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,599 is when it's like like the draft where Anthony Bennett 324 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,039 went one. 325 00:18:57,839 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 3: You know where Tom Brady was taken in the NBA 326 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:03,960 gotta be first. 327 00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: Right, yeah, tom Brady. Also, this is a hard pivot. 328 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,039 I wish that he would just stop doing ship because 329 00:19:12,079 --> 00:19:15,559 it's making me, You're just it's making me think he 330 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,480 wasn't as good of a quarterback as he was because 331 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:18,559 he's such an idiot. 332 00:19:18,759 --> 00:19:21,759 Speaker 3: He should have driven recklessly and died on top, like 333 00:19:21,839 --> 00:19:27,240 James Dean or something. Come on man just like a hero. 334 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: Oh that's so funny. Okay, So we beat the MAVs 335 00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:39,880 on Saturday tomorrow, right, that's gotta happen. 336 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 2: It's happening. It's happening. I think he is. 337 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,319 Speaker 3: If this streak goes to five, like five and five 338 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,359 straight losses at the hands of the MAVs, it's it's 339 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,119 time to start ringing some alarm bells. 340 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,839 Speaker 1: I mean the alarm bells. I think, what does that 341 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,920 even mean? This team is gonna face the Spurs or 342 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:10,440 the Thunder in the first round or maybe not even 343 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,640 make the play in You're not alarmed, I'm not. 344 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 2: Even fairly alarmed here. Like Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park, 345 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:16,960 I'm not. 346 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,559 Speaker 1: I'm just now, did Jurassic Park turn out? 347 00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:20,319 Speaker 3: That's true? 348 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,079 Speaker 1: That's true. 349 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 2: What you mean they flew. 350 00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:29,319 Speaker 1: Every pretty successful franchise is how it turned out. 351 00:20:30,839 --> 00:20:31,839 Speaker 2: The Lawyer got eaten. 352 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,599 Speaker 1: What do you not worry? I mean, I under I am. 353 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,039 I admittedly watched the first half of the game last 354 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,079 night and then Will and I went to see The 355 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,559 Bride in theaters. Horrible movie. I'm trying to be more 356 00:20:46,599 --> 00:20:50,160 positive about the way that this team could end the season, 357 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,920 but it's just kind of difficult. Not that I'm like 358 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,839 shitting on them or anything, but it's just like we're 359 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,599 kind of we're careening towards what feels like with the injuries, 360 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,359 with the uneven play, I'm just like da, I would 361 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,119 just wish we were in a little stronger I. 362 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,319 Speaker 3: Agree, like the limping to the finish line is a 363 00:21:09,319 --> 00:21:13,480 little bit tough just given you know, the massive turnaround 364 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:18,079 that they had to undergo from December. But you know, realistically, 365 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,079 if they finished this season one game above five hundred, 366 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,599 it's a huge win from where we were in December, like, 367 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,480 regardless of where that puts you in the standings, and 368 00:21:29,559 --> 00:21:32,079 sort of like you know what else kind of happens. 369 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 2: You reminded me of something there. You know, it's probably 370 00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:39,279 not just March. It's because they made such a big 371 00:21:39,319 --> 00:21:43,119 push to get back to five hundred. That is also 372 00:21:43,839 --> 00:21:46,200 kind of like how you know, sometimes you have a 373 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,799 comeback that comes up short because you run out of 374 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,799 gas because it took so much energy to get back 375 00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:54,519 into the game. It's kind of like that with the 376 00:21:54,559 --> 00:21:56,200 Clippers maybe in some ways. 377 00:21:56,799 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: Thank you the Kawai da Vinci code for bringing this back. 378 00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:04,160 That was a on time paper Bowl. The season's insane. 379 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,599 Speaker 2: I don't think he's eating another one. 380 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: Bon Saw twenty eight said, don't get too high, don't 381 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,599 get too low. We're five hundred that we're right there, man, 382 00:22:15,319 --> 00:22:18,160 we are. We're not high enough and we can't be 383 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:23,359 low enough because we don't have a draft pick. Oh yeah, 384 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,519 they just look bump for Kawhi. He looks like he's 385 00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:31,000 trying so hard on the bad ankle. What's difficult. I 386 00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:35,519 was texting with Joseph about this. It's funny watching Darius 387 00:22:35,519 --> 00:22:38,240 Garland play and you're like, you know, like the game, 388 00:22:39,799 --> 00:22:41,480 the first game against the Pals, you wish you would 389 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,079 have taken over a little bit more or something like that. 390 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,200 Darius Garland has played like six games for the Clippers, 391 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,960 like it, it's so because we need wins so bad. 392 00:22:50,039 --> 00:22:54,440 He's played eight because we need wins so bad. I'm 393 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,559 still forgetting that he's getting used to this team still, 394 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,559 you know what I'm saying, Like the expectations are high 395 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,200 because we obviously traded someone who was bringing a lot 396 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,920 to the Clippers, and with Garland it hasn't even been 397 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,839 ten games, but the urgency because of the start and 398 00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:15,279 everything like that feels like there's more pressure from me, 399 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,960 like as watching it, like damn, like why can't you 400 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,720 be better? But at the same time, it hasn't been 401 00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:23,839 that many games and the lineups have been all walking. 402 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,039 Speaker 3: Yeah, having some sort of consistency in the lineup is 403 00:23:28,319 --> 00:23:31,440 definitely gonna help Garland a lot. And just being at 404 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,160 one hundred percent, like being able to play a scratch 405 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:39,400 of say ten games without a without a hang up. 406 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 2: And honestly, he's been better than what I expected, especially 407 00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:47,279 efficiency wise after not playing for a month and a 408 00:23:47,319 --> 00:23:48,440 half or whatever it was. 409 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,079 Speaker 1: He's shooting plus forty percent from three I think is 410 00:23:52,079 --> 00:23:53,079 a clip like he. 411 00:23:53,599 --> 00:23:54,759 Speaker 3: Wasn't in New Orleans. 412 00:23:54,759 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: He's yes, Yes, was doing what they were supposed to 413 00:24:01,319 --> 00:24:10,440 do in New Orleans. They were early, Yeah, they were early. Yeah. 414 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,960 I don't know, It's just it's and missing Mathrine is 415 00:24:14,039 --> 00:24:17,319 huge too. Adam, you weren't on the show this week 416 00:24:17,319 --> 00:24:22,720 because you were taking care of something, right? Is it weird? That? 417 00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:28,000 Is it weird that Matherine is on the trip but 418 00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:30,839 not playing like that was just kind of confusing, I guess, 419 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:31,480 But I. 420 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,279 Speaker 2: Think I'm guessing the doctor that's tending to Darius Garland 421 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:40,559 is also tending to his foot injury to the Lebron James, 422 00:24:40,559 --> 00:24:44,519 the foot doctors. It's Lebron James once called his foot doctor. 423 00:24:44,599 --> 00:24:45,839 He's the Lebron James. 424 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:51,799 Speaker 1: That's awesome. I mean that kind of rules. Yeah, we 425 00:24:51,839 --> 00:24:54,759 don't have a timeline for when he's coming back. 426 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,519 Speaker 2: I just ruled him out. It sounds like I. 427 00:25:00,279 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: Well, he was out the whole trip. We knew he 428 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,599 was gonna miss the road trip. They like already had 429 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,440 ruled him out for the road trip the whole thing, 430 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,119 which was kind of. 431 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 2: I noticed something he said about a week and a 432 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,240 half ago, he had a big dunk in a game 433 00:25:11,319 --> 00:25:14,680 and he kind of surprised himself and he mentioned postgame 434 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,279 about it, like I didn't know I could do that. 435 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,039 Right now, I've been a little banged up. And he 436 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,079 didn't say with what. And now I think we know 437 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,799 what the ailment was. And Law said he's had his 438 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,880 foot wrapped a lot and they've seen him limping around 439 00:25:30,279 --> 00:25:33,279 and so this isn't well it may have come out 440 00:25:33,319 --> 00:25:36,160 of nowhere for Clipper Nation, it's real. He's been dealing 441 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,440 with something. He's been playing through it. 442 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 3: Why are so many foot injuries while why all the 443 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,519 foot stuff at him we were posing this when you 444 00:25:43,559 --> 00:25:45,920 weren't here the other day. What's going on with the 445 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:46,359 de feet? 446 00:25:46,599 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: What's up with the toes? I don't know. 447 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,599 Speaker 2: Got to go back to the Chucks, like Chuck the condo. 448 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:53,240 I don't know that. 449 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: Well, we need I read there was an article and 450 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,519 this is dating me and aging me in ESPN the 451 00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:10,240 magazine when it was still magazine. What about how a 452 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,319 lot of NBA players don't use insults like customer thoughts, 453 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:21,359 just they're just using shoes off the rack basically, which 454 00:26:22,759 --> 00:26:24,000 seems insane to me. 455 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 2: You're saying they're not jelling like a felon, they're not 456 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:29,720 using I'm. 457 00:26:29,599 --> 00:26:35,559 Speaker 1: Saying they could afford even more expensive than Jealous, even more, Yeah, 458 00:26:35,599 --> 00:26:39,319 more than sixteen bucks. I don't know, if I don't know. 459 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:40,480 It was just some thing where I was like, that 460 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,200 feels crazy. But also I believe like DeMar Derozen plays 461 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,920 with the shoes on tide, like you know what I mean, 462 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:46,799 Like it's like. 463 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 2: People you don't understand how shoes are supposed to be used, 464 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,400 and we should look to Alex Caruso more about that. 465 00:26:56,079 --> 00:26:57,319 Put them on your hands. 466 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,759 Speaker 1: Hey, I was surprised you got even called for that. 467 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:07,119 I'm just happy that they blew the whistle on that one. Yeah, 468 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,319 the Mathroom and Mathron had has had toe issues before, 469 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,960 which I had spaced out, and then Will and I 470 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,039 did pretty deep dive research onto it. 471 00:27:16,319 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 3: We pulled up the wiki Fee Adam, you really missed out. 472 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,039 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. 473 00:27:22,039 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 2: Also, it is an insane slasher and take some risks 474 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,680 going down the alleys and lanes like nobody I've seen 475 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,160 on the Clippers in a long time. 476 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, well we need That's one thing that's been missing. 477 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:38,599 His free throw he's getting against They took thirteen and like, 478 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,359 what is I'm going to look it up right now. 479 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,559 But his free throws per game is a Clipper have 480 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,720 to be insane. He's taken eight free throws a game 481 00:27:45,759 --> 00:27:50,440 as a clip, Like, we need that with how the 482 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,079 shooting can really fluctuate. 483 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,079 Speaker 2: Yesterday, though they got their free throws, they took ten 484 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,039 more and they only made one more the Pelicans. 485 00:28:00,519 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: That was insane. Oh I thank you Frankie Cosmos for 486 00:28:04,559 --> 00:28:08,759 reminding me that Terrence Man assigned with sketchers. Yeah, what 487 00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:13,480 do the Clippers hate about comfortable shooes? What's the issue here? 488 00:28:13,599 --> 00:28:17,119 Pablo Troy should actually maybe shift gears and investigate. 489 00:28:16,599 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 3: That are there many foot like injuries league wide? Like 490 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,240 I just feel like it's such an anomaly that there's 491 00:28:27,319 --> 00:28:34,319 so many people affect thing because it's a rarer Isn't 492 00:28:34,319 --> 00:28:37,640 it a somewhat rarer injury in the NBA than it is, 493 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,880 obviously than you would see in the NFL or something, 494 00:28:43,079 --> 00:28:45,559 isn't it? Like I feel like I feel like when 495 00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:48,559 Darius Garland had it, you know, in the like in 496 00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:50,359 the playoffs, that was like one of the first times 497 00:28:50,359 --> 00:28:54,400 I'd heard of someone in the injuries Like it's. 498 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,359 Speaker 1: I feel like certain injuries kind of have like trends, 499 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,920 right like we saw the Achilles and like how the 500 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,720 game evolves. So I wonder if a certain way that 501 00:29:03,799 --> 00:29:06,400 certain guys who were built are playing as putting under 502 00:29:06,759 --> 00:29:07,319 what's new. 503 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 3: About what the like in the history of the NBA, 504 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:11,119 you know. 505 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: Like uh speed compression forces like that. No, not at 506 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,079 his levels, not to you're not on your toe, you know, 507 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,000 So I don't know, I'm talking down on my ass. 508 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,079 We're not doctors, But I think it's one of those 509 00:29:27,119 --> 00:29:30,039 things like we saw the Achilles, Like there's that one, 510 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,240 like like the guy all tore him the same way. Right, 511 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,160 like they're doing like that hop step or something like that. 512 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,039 Speaker 3: You know who never has toe injuries? Quiet, So I 513 00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:43,759 say training Tim's playing new balances. 514 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: I like that idea. We could probably get Pat bev 515 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,640 on here. He's really been trying to push that new 516 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:58,559 show he has, which seems not good actual basketball talk. 517 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:04,920 I have a question here, and it sounds pessimistic. Kobe 518 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,839 Sanders over Nick Batoom heading into the postseason. Should that 519 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,559 move be made? Dot dot dot thank you? Does that 520 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:14,400 move matter? 521 00:30:18,039 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 2: Uh? 522 00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:22,039 Speaker 1: Kobe Sanders over Nick Patom in the postseason? Should that 523 00:30:22,079 --> 00:30:25,519 move be made in the rotation? Does that move matter 524 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,799 in the grand scheme of things? 525 00:30:32,359 --> 00:30:34,119 Speaker 2: Kobe Sanders has been missing a lot lately. 526 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: I would ride three. Yeah, it feels negligible because they're 527 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,759 kind of like they're pretty even like looking at their 528 00:30:45,759 --> 00:30:49,519 stats before the Pels games, it was like Kobe Sanders 529 00:30:49,519 --> 00:30:52,960 had like a sixty three point percentage, which obviously is 530 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,440 going to come back down to earth. I like playing 531 00:30:56,519 --> 00:30:59,119 Sanders for the experience level, but I think that's the 532 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,240 most you're getting out of it. Neither of these guys 533 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,559 are swinging a game, I don't think. But yeah, like 534 00:31:04,599 --> 00:31:07,000 Bone saw us saying Kobe should maybe get more time. 535 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:17,920 So I like Sanders from the experience perspective. Well, I'm 536 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,680 looking at some new balances. Nine nine two is. 537 00:31:19,599 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 3: Actually probably gonna pick up a pair. 538 00:31:23,079 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: Some maiden US eights. But yeah, I feel like it 539 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,279 should be Kobe just for the experience. 540 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 2: I mean, whoever is going to help them win. I 541 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,680 I want to play the guy that's gonna give them 542 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,039 the best chance of the playoff series. And if it's 543 00:31:39,039 --> 00:31:43,160 San Antonio, probably still but too, this is the way 544 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,799 you can guard Wemby some here and there. 545 00:31:45,559 --> 00:31:50,119 Speaker 1: He's been gassed too though he's getting veteran rest days, 546 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,119 as he should. But like playoff basketball different man. 547 00:31:53,599 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 2: Well, I'm guessing they're doing the rest now so they 548 00:31:56,079 --> 00:31:57,960 can have them more available for their series. 549 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,599 Speaker 1: Do we think it's that's a Tyler usually does a 550 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,240 nine guy rotation, So I don't know. 551 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,839 Speaker 2: Let's still have to get in the playoff series. Maybe 552 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:06,279 we should. 553 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,559 Speaker 1: Uh that's true. Oh, that's a good question. What's your 554 00:32:10,599 --> 00:32:15,960 lineup for the let's call it the seven eight game. 555 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,359 What's your starting five for the seven eight game? We 556 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,839 saw Chris Dunn coming off the bench when everyone who 557 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,920 was available for the most part was he who's healthy 558 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:30,319 in this scenario, let's say everyone, Let's say we are 559 00:32:30,319 --> 00:32:34,880 at optimum starting lineup. So obviously bill Yannicker out, everyone 560 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:41,319 else is available, Math, Garlicke, who's your who's the starting five? 561 00:32:41,359 --> 00:32:47,279 It's done? Still all the un he's on the scooter. 562 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,359 Speaker 2: Who's ever be against Devin Booker? 563 00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 3: Didn't Robert Williams have like the robot leg at one point? 564 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, Robert Williams had a crazy cat. 565 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 3: You then on the court? 566 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,799 Speaker 1: Maybe? Yeah? What whoever's against Booker is a great call, 567 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,839 which is probably done? 568 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,039 Speaker 2: Probably. I was surprised to see dun come off the 569 00:33:16,079 --> 00:33:22,920 bench the other day. They want to see something different. Yeah, 570 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,839 but Garland, you know, he was big on having Done 571 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:26,880 out there with him. 572 00:33:28,319 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 3: It makes sense. 573 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 2: But they also they had been taking Done out so 574 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,720 early in the first quarter, like within the first four minutes, 575 00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:38,240 to get him back then with the second unit. And 576 00:33:38,279 --> 00:33:40,440 then what they started doing when DJ was in the 577 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,480 starting lineup, They took out Garland early in the first 578 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,519 five minutes, first five and a half minutes, and then 579 00:33:45,559 --> 00:33:48,200 brought him back with the second unit to kind of 580 00:33:48,279 --> 00:33:50,519 run that and give him minutes that are staggered away 581 00:33:50,519 --> 00:33:53,039 from Kawhi to have him be more of a focal 582 00:33:53,079 --> 00:33:58,119 point offensively. So I think they're just trying things. 583 00:33:57,559 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: And the defense, like we said, it's eighteenth on the year, 584 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,680 So for me, it's hard for a winner, take all 585 00:34:05,079 --> 00:34:08,480 or take whatever seed playoff game. I kind of want 586 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,880 done out there to start because the defense can't. Starting. 587 00:34:14,079 --> 00:34:17,559 Speaker 2: Is the DJ's offense. I mean, yesterday he was DJ 588 00:34:17,679 --> 00:34:22,559 did not lose yesterday, he was awesome. His offense has 589 00:34:22,599 --> 00:34:26,039 been scaling up and up and up. Maybe they just 590 00:34:26,079 --> 00:34:29,000 think to have more firepower out there. DJ is the guy. 591 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,239 Sounds like you're getting some huge off defensively. 592 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 1: He was rough in game one versus Pells h and 593 00:34:38,599 --> 00:34:39,760 kind of versus Spurs too. 594 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 2: What about since he came off injury though. 595 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,159 Speaker 1: No, yeah, but like he can defend, like you're he's 596 00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:49,159 really only hit a skid when the Clippers have lost 597 00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:51,039 four in a row, Like that's the only time he's 598 00:34:51,039 --> 00:34:53,400 played bad. You look at the games after, like before this, 599 00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:58,480 you take out Pells, Spurs, Kings, he played really good 600 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,159 basketball four or five versus Bulls four six versus the 601 00:35:01,199 --> 00:35:05,000 Wolves killed it against the Knicks, like he had. 602 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,519 Speaker 2: One, two, three, four or five. He had six straight 603 00:35:07,559 --> 00:35:09,920 games of ten plus points or more. I believe that 604 00:35:10,039 --> 00:35:12,239 is a career high for him in this month. 605 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's fair. Well, who's your starting five? I 606 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:24,960 like done? I think Garland done, DJ Kawhi Lopez is 607 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:25,519 what we. 608 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:30,559 Speaker 3: See Garland done, DJ Kawhi Lopez. Yeah, that's that's pretty 609 00:35:30,599 --> 00:35:33,199 much fine. 610 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,559 Speaker 1: And then you sub Done off like maybe early if 611 00:35:36,559 --> 00:35:38,320 it's not working or something like that, because then the 612 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,639 bench also has firepower other than math Rin. You got 613 00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:45,119 Collins off the bench, who's huge. 614 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,760 Speaker 2: Like, well, you guys aren't starting Collins. 615 00:35:48,199 --> 00:35:51,320 Speaker 1: I think I'm starting. Yeah, I think he's coming off 616 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:57,239 the bench with math they starting, so you. 617 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,199 Speaker 3: Go, yeah, actually I'm with you. 618 00:36:00,599 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: Garland, Dunn, Collins, Kawhi and Lopez. 619 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 2: Or DJ instead done. Those are the only two that 620 00:36:06,519 --> 00:36:07,280 i'd switch out. 621 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, and we'll also we'll see small ball five. Yeah. 622 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,960 I like this from KAUI Done sets the tone early, 623 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:16,320 which I kind of like. 624 00:36:16,559 --> 00:36:22,079 Speaker 2: Coach was always said, Uh, I like that, Done sets 625 00:36:22,119 --> 00:36:22,840 that tone early. 626 00:36:25,199 --> 00:36:25,800 Speaker 1: My headphones out. 627 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,280 Speaker 2: DJ has been slashing. He has been so much more aggressive. 628 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:36,159 Speaker 1: We got a Louis appearance, what's up, Louie? And we're 629 00:36:36,159 --> 00:36:38,599 gonna see some small ball in the seven eight game 630 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,440 because our centers are kind of hitting us skate. 631 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,320 Speaker 3: We need so many questions about Bogey. 632 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, strictly from we'll talk about Bogie in a second. 633 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,000 But I like, Alex web, you got a stagger done 634 00:36:55,039 --> 00:36:59,199 in DJ for spacing. You can't have that many non 635 00:36:59,199 --> 00:37:06,599 shooters out there and lope streaky, yeah done. Teams do 636 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:07,039 not care. 637 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't like it almost doesn't 638 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,199 even matter if he makes them. 639 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,760 Speaker 1: And do we think how much are team's gonna care 640 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,639 about Lopez shooting because he's gonna be gassed? This is 641 00:37:18,679 --> 00:37:21,639 no disrespect to Lopez. He is an older man playing 642 00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:27,119 starting five minutes. He's gonna be tired. I don't know 643 00:37:27,159 --> 00:37:29,840 if team like we Yeah, that's a good point, Alex. 644 00:37:30,039 --> 00:37:31,639 Speaker 3: I think that's where the small ball is going to 645 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,000 have to come in more, unless you really trust Jackson, 646 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,280 because I think that Brook Lopez right now, from a 647 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,039 minute's look perspective, they're already asking too much of him. 648 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,440 Like he's been able to stay like you know, he 649 00:37:45,519 --> 00:37:48,079 was able to stay in that sort of starting position 650 00:37:48,159 --> 00:37:50,000 for so long because it was like he had so 651 00:37:50,119 --> 00:37:53,840 much help around him, and I think now he's still 652 00:37:55,159 --> 00:37:58,599 he still has the ALP, but like he needs to uh, 653 00:37:58,639 --> 00:38:00,840 he's got the I mean it float has to be 654 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:01,639 a lower. 655 00:38:02,639 --> 00:38:04,679 Speaker 1: Right, and that's what cific about the playoffs, and so 656 00:38:04,679 --> 00:38:08,239 we're gonna stay low man. The Clippers are in this 657 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:12,519 weird thing where like everyone other than Lopez is going 658 00:38:12,559 --> 00:38:14,320 to play more minutes, probably because we're gonna see more 659 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,320 small ball five. So guys are gonna get rotated into that. 660 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:21,559 Like I don't, Isaiah Jackson's playoff minutes are going to 661 00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:24,840 be chaotic mostly probably good chaos, but not enough to 662 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:31,320 like rely on play hand I should say. 663 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,199 Speaker 2: I like what we've seen from Jackson a lot. 664 00:38:36,119 --> 00:38:39,800 Speaker 1: I have to. I've been impressed with his what he 665 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:48,400 can bring, but again, like play it man. So ideally 666 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,320 we are playing in Phoenix for the seven eight game. 667 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 2: Written a month ago. That's best case scenario. That is 668 00:38:57,559 --> 00:38:59,880 best case scenario for the team that is the Sea 669 00:39:00,199 --> 00:39:02,000 right now, guys, anything else is dreaming. 670 00:39:04,159 --> 00:39:07,679 Speaker 1: People were mad and Will and I for saying that 671 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,760 the team might have trouble against San Antonio in the 672 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,599 first round on the last episode. 673 00:39:12,599 --> 00:39:16,679 Speaker 2: I mean, look, is san Antonio the better option versus Okay, 674 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,239 see yes, is it a good option? No? 675 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:19,519 Speaker 3: No? 676 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 1: Right would you rather get poked in the eye with 677 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,000 a sharp stick or kicked directly in the testicle. 678 00:39:25,119 --> 00:39:26,880 Speaker 2: The only good thing is that I haven't seen the 679 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:34,039 Clippers fully healthy yet. Yeah, because the Clippers have been 680 00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:36,960 so banged up, San Antonio doesn't. 681 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:44,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, I like dj D flu where we are rebounding though. 682 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:50,760 The rebounding, yeah, it's it's tough because because we have 683 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,760 centers who don't rebound the ball, guys have to crash, 684 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,280 which thankfully they're good at. But I just feel like 685 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:58,639 it throws everything out of there. 686 00:39:59,039 --> 00:40:02,519 Speaker 2: You're wrong, broke. Lopez was supposed to replace Zoo. Remember 687 00:40:02,559 --> 00:40:04,880 he was much better than Zoo. 688 00:40:04,039 --> 00:40:07,199 Speaker 3: All yeah, he should have been starting while Zoo is 689 00:40:07,199 --> 00:40:07,760 still here. 690 00:40:08,119 --> 00:40:08,800 Speaker 2: What happened to that? 691 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 1: Yes, I will walk into traffic on the street. If 692 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:17,039 you guys turned on me on Zoo, I would make 693 00:40:17,079 --> 00:40:22,719 I would change all of our lives. No, the rebounding, 694 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,360 it's just like, dude, like I love that everyone is 695 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,400 able to crash the boards and the forwards are crashing 696 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,239 the boards and stuff like that. But like, this is 697 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,679 why Lopez is threes. It's like, great, no one's there 698 00:40:32,679 --> 00:40:37,960 to grab an offensive board. He can't grab defensive boards 699 00:40:38,159 --> 00:40:39,880 like it's tough. 700 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,920 Speaker 2: We probably shouldn't be looking this far out, but you know, 701 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,880 at this point, just the hypothetical. 702 00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,800 Speaker 1: About we're live, looking up to you. 703 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,119 Speaker 2: Who cares, Let's do it live. So Phoenix is an 704 00:40:53,119 --> 00:40:59,000 eleventh in defensive or in rebounding percentage overall, I'll see 705 00:40:59,119 --> 00:41:01,039 offensive percentage of ninth. 706 00:41:01,639 --> 00:41:12,119 Speaker 1: I don't love that, ye right, it's the team. The 707 00:41:12,159 --> 00:41:15,199 teams that were going that we have the team well 708 00:41:15,199 --> 00:41:18,679 because the pel anyway, the Pells killed us on the 709 00:41:18,679 --> 00:41:23,440 offensive ports too. Like it's just difficult. We're bad at 710 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,119 we're bad at stuff that I think is showing the 711 00:41:27,159 --> 00:41:30,320 fatigue right now. Yeah, Like we're just a tired team. 712 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,199 And no I'm not saying that in a derogatory way. 713 00:41:33,599 --> 00:41:36,639 This schedule is crazy. Eighteen games in a month is nuts. 714 00:41:37,159 --> 00:41:39,400 Having like you guys pointed out, to kind of get 715 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,039 back to five hundred, Like. 716 00:41:42,119 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 2: You remember what we kept talking about last year was 717 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,360 how important it was to stay out of the plan 718 00:41:47,519 --> 00:41:49,960 because you get that full week off then and how 719 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,239 big that would be for the team. Well that's not 720 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:57,440 an option now, So there's there's more fatigue that is 721 00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,599 going to be working. I guess them heading into that 722 00:41:59,599 --> 00:42:02,039 first series if they get out of the play. 723 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,039 Speaker 3: But again, that's why you gotta do it in one game. 724 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta win that first game. But also because 725 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:15,960 even if you win the second game, you're getting oksey. 726 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,039 Speaker 1: It would be funny the nbation institute a rule where 727 00:42:19,159 --> 00:42:23,360 if you win two playing games, so you have to 728 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,039 win two thank you balloons, you actually get home court 729 00:42:27,039 --> 00:42:28,719 advantage against the number one seed. 730 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:30,920 Speaker 3: You know what, Like, fuck it. 731 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:37,559 Speaker 1: What, you're already You're already the lower seed. Like would 732 00:42:37,559 --> 00:42:40,880 it really like? First of all, the atmosphere would be crazy, 733 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,159 if you win two playing games, you should actually get 734 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,960 home court advantage. Yes, that's an insane. 735 00:42:47,679 --> 00:42:50,559 Speaker 3: Take it to the bank. No, this year, like this, 736 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:56,199 the series should just shift. So it should be the 737 00:42:56,239 --> 00:43:02,559 lower seed gets three games and then the higher seed 738 00:43:02,599 --> 00:43:04,400 gets gets three games. 739 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,480 Speaker 2: I know Rob Manford is listening. I don't know Adam 740 00:43:08,519 --> 00:43:09,079 silver is. 741 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,159 Speaker 1: Rob Manfred is a bad commissioner, so he's for sure 742 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:13,119 listening to the show. 743 00:43:15,159 --> 00:43:17,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, you go back to like the three two one 744 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:21,880 one one thing. I think if you win two play games. 745 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair. 746 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,400 Speaker 3: I will say you have to sometimes play like the 747 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:28,079 next day. 748 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like that old when the when Baseball had 749 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:36,239 the wild card game. We're not because remember a couple 750 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,199 of weeks ago. Okay, So the Nuggets and the Rockets 751 00:43:39,199 --> 00:43:42,360 are three games up on the Suns. They're not dropping 752 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,960 to seven, are they? They better? 753 00:43:46,039 --> 00:43:52,360 Speaker 2: Fucking not? Denver better or not? Denver has lost some games. 754 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,199 I mean they lost in Memphis the other night. I 755 00:43:54,199 --> 00:43:58,320 couldn't believe it. They have lost some really bad games, 756 00:44:00,159 --> 00:44:01,960 but I think that was the same night the Clippers 757 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:02,840 lost to Sacramento. 758 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,920 Speaker 1: This is very funny. Thank you for this, laugh, Franky Cosmos. 759 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:11,480 That's a good bit. 760 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,079 Speaker 2: Uh Brook has been more than serviceable. 761 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 1: I know, but he's supposed to be the backup. Oh god, 762 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,440 it's just a good time. Brook has been great for 763 00:44:21,519 --> 00:44:24,119 what he's supposed to do, but he's being asked to 764 00:44:24,159 --> 00:44:32,159 do more, which is difficult. So what do you as 765 00:44:32,159 --> 00:44:36,760 we wind this stream down, we're winning tomorrow? Correct? 766 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Pencil. 767 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:45,639 Speaker 2: Then now I'm going fool sharpie. They are not losing 768 00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,840 five in a row. They are not losing to Dallas, 769 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:52,280 who is another taking team. The Pelicans were not taking Dallas. 770 00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:57,280 Is Sacramento apparently dead? Christie? You no, not on my watch. 771 00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:58,440 We are taking. 772 00:45:00,599 --> 00:45:04,320 Speaker 1: Okay, So we're beating the MAVs. Who's our player, who's 773 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:10,760 our player of the game for the MAVs game? Give 774 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:16,119 me j C God damn it, I'm gonna go.

I hate the Kings, 793 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,159 and I know that's rough because they've been bad, but 794 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:15,400 I'm just like, figure it out. 795 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,000 Speaker 2: Did Joseph also get a text about that because he 796 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:18,880 should have gotten. 797 00:46:18,679 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 1: Yes, I absolutely had him plenty. I told him that 798 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,599 everyone agreed that he lost the game. 799 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:25,159 Speaker 2: What do you say? 800 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:30,760 Speaker 1: He said, that's fair. Okay, So we beat the MAVs 801 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:35,400 and then we're what game under five one game under 802 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,920 five hundred? We're right there, we beat the MAVs. We 803 00:46:39,079 --> 00:46:39,800 just gotta go. 804 00:46:40,199 --> 00:46:45,159 Speaker 2: You know who was right? Kawhi Wha said Dot finished. 805 00:46:45,639 --> 00:46:48,760 Speaker 1: He was so right. It is not finished at all. 806 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,599 Speaker 2: Maybe we did celebrate too much. 807 00:46:52,079 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 1: We might have. Well, we were just riding high, you know. 808 00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,079 Speaker 3: We we were the first tea and I was just 809 00:46:57,079 --> 00:46:59,639 happy to get back to five hundred. Come on, yeah, 810 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,119 I care about anything else? 811 00:47:01,559 --> 00:47:05,039 Speaker 1: Yeah? Who cares? All right, We're gonna be back with 812 00:47:05,159 --> 00:47:09,559 a full crew episode on Tuesday.

An Adam, 827 00:47:47,559 --> 00:47:50,639 Can we get one positive thing to send these viewers 828 00:47:50,679 --> 00:47:52,079 into their weekend. 829 00:47:51,679 --> 00:47:57,880 Speaker 2: With at worst? In the last twelve games, the Clippers 830 00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:00,760 are going eight and four and they're split the two 831 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,800 games against Portland, and they're winning the final game of 832 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,280 the season at home against Golden State. They're getting to 833 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:14,239 a spot we're splitting between for Phoenix. Get ready because 834 00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,360 the Suns may have beat us three times in the 835 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,559 playoffs in a series, but this is a play in 836 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:21,519 this is different. 837 00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,800 Speaker 3: And also I believe there were some asterisks for the Clippers. 838 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,559 Speaker 1: A couple of those they never got fully healthy. I 839 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,760 like that. The positive note is that we split the 840 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,000 games against the Blazers. We will not go three and 841 00:48:38,119 --> 00:48:40,239 zero against the two most important teams we will go 842 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:40,679 to and. 843 00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:45,400 Speaker 2: One I said it at worst, and they're splitting against 844 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,280 Portland and they're still beating Golden State. 845 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,159 Speaker 1: At worst, there we go. At worst, we're going too 846 00:48:50,199 --> 00:48:52,440 and one over the most important games to close the season. 847 00:48:52,679 --> 00:48:54,519 Speaker 3: Adam, what are you packing in your bag to Talking 848 00:48:54,559 --> 00:48:55,639 stick Arena? 849 00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,079 Speaker 2: A bigger talking stick. 850 00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 1: There we go, There we go.

They're gonna go eight and four at minimum. 853 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,440 Per Adam Oustlin, Phoenix is a hole in the ground. 854 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,159 The Clippers have a lot to play for. They're gonna 855 00:49:17,159 --> 00:49:19,480 get the dub tomorrow against the MAVs, and if not, 856 00:49:20,559 --> 00:49:23,079 it will be a very depressing live stream because we 857 00:49:23,159 --> 00:49:25,039 might have to go live if they lose.
