1
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans Welcome to a fully attended,

2
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:20,399
fully required attendance episode of Clips and Dip at Season

00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,679
three episode eight. I am Chuck Mockler back from the

00:00:23,679 --> 00:00:27,879
wilds of Bainbridge Island. Adam Osen is here hearing better

5
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,800
than ever, and Will Epdyke has a secret dip that

6
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,399
we're gonna learn about later, which we're all very excited about.

7
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,920
We are doing a Freaks only off season mail bag.

8
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,759
We got a lot of good questions sent to us.

9
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:40,640
We had a couple bad ones that we didn't include,

10
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:43,359
but yeah, we're gonna answer a bunch of stuff about

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,399
uh where Kawhi and Harden rank on the two star combos.

12
00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:51,039
We're gonna talk the new flagship store that everyone's really

13
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:54,439
excited about down in Inglewood. But before we get into it,

14
00:00:54,479 --> 00:00:56,640
we want to thank everyone for listening and for watching.

15
00:00:56,799 --> 00:00:59,399
You can find us YouTube dot com Slash at Clippers

16
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:02,920
podcast on Were at Clippers Pod, Adam and Will. You

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,920
guys got to hang out with to Marr last week,

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,239
so you guys are probably doing good. Will, how's it going?

19
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:08,760
How are you doing good?

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 2: Does anybody time in that water? Chug On the intro,

21
00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:13,760
I feel like it went through most of your intro. Anyways,

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,040
if you're watching on YouTube, you can sometimes see me

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,519
chug water, but I meete my mic so it's not annoying.

24
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,000
I'm doing really good, man. It was great to catch

25
00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:23,920
up with ton Air in a while. That's the worst

26
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,680
part about the off season is you don't get to,

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,519
you know, run into the same familiar faces as much.

28
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:30,680
So that was a lot of fun that If you

29
00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:32,760
haven't listened or watched that one, I would say it's

30
00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:36,599
a must check out. But yeah, I'm doing great, man,

31
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,040
I am settled into the off season.

32
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,799
Speaker 1: You're in it? Oh yeah, yeah, I think I'm finally

33
00:01:43,799 --> 00:01:46,319
settled too. If anyone has Adam's.

34
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,719
Speaker 2: Gonna run down the twenty one reasons of why this

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,280
is actually the Clippers year.

36
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,959
Speaker 1: That only the last positive thing. If anyone knows how

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,760
long we'll chug that water for put it in the

38
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,879
comments or tweeted at us, We'll try and have them

39
00:01:58,920 --> 00:01:59,640
beat it next up.

40
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: It's hard without analogy, you know, you don't get as

41
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,040
much air and earth. It's not as wide mouth of

42
00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:05,439
a thing.

43
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,959
Speaker 1: Adam, how are you You bought some new merch from

44
00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:09,280
the from the Clippers store.

45
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got one of the new Dad hats. I

46
00:02:12,159 --> 00:02:14,719
hope that's allowed right to have any kids out there.

47
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:19,199
It's the LA logo, the new one. The hats read

48
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:25,199
the letterings in blue. I guys, I just would avoid

49
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,400
it if I didn't think the jerseys and the hats

50
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:30,840
and the logos were nice. I just wouldn't talk about

51
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:33,280
it that much. So you could call me a company

52
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:36,360
man all you want. But I really like this rebrandy

53
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:39,199
going on with the Clippers. Right now, the jerseys, no

54
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,800
one has set a peep about them being bad. The

55
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,800
only thing people have gone after is the logo, maybe

56
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,479
being a little bit too complex, but I think over

57
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,639
time it's going to age well. But then you have

58
00:02:50,719 --> 00:02:55,080
all the alternate letterings in the LA and the Clippers cursive,

59
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,199
which is a little bit of homage to the early

60
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,639
two thousands, mid two thousands and Clippers teams without brand.

61
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,360
It's beautiful and it still feels as much as I

62
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,919
like the San Andreas jerseys, and I thought if they

63
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:09,520
just went with the black and white with the San

64
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,879
Andreas fawn is their home and away, that would be cool.

65
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,120
I get they're too much like the San Antonio Spurs.

66
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,719
This maintains the essence of the Clippers while putting a

67
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,360
nice little modern twist on it.

68
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,599
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, that LA script is like my favorite new

69
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,639
logo I've seen in a while. It's so hard, it's

70
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,840
so hard to tackle, Like, hey, make it, make an

71
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,039
l a script that doesn't look shitty. Remember when the

72
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,240
Chargers did that. They unveiled their LA logo on Twitter

73
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,840
and ever would just roasted them and they had to

74
00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:40,919
go back and redo it all. I feel like poor.

75
00:03:42,039 --> 00:03:46,159
Speaker 3: It's such a cool lettering in font for that design.

76
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:48,560
Even Laker fans are gonna buy some of the birds.

77
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:50,439
You'd be like, what I'm just representing LA is? What

78
00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:52,240
about the Clippers? Were you talking about bed.

79
00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: Basketball?

80
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:54,759
Speaker 3: Neutral?

81
00:03:55,639 --> 00:03:58,479
Speaker 2: I love I also love that PG will never plan

82
00:03:58,639 --> 00:04:00,400
it despite hell modeling.

83
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I love that too. That's good ship right there.

84
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: Will is just the sniper and the waiting on the weeds.

85
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: There, Mark Wahlberg out here, We're gonna get in some questions,

86
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,079
Joe I mentioned it off top. John Stodder Junior asked

87
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,560
of all and these these kind of go everywhere. Of

88
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,199
all the twenty four to twenty five two star combos

89
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,439
in the NBA, where would we rank Kawhi and Harden

90
00:04:31,079 --> 00:04:34,519
and we can talk number one. Are you wait, are

91
00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:36,560
you morphing to know? This is number one? This is

92
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,240
our all right? Will say number one, this is our year.

93
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,560
In fact, I would put I'd put him in the

94
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:50,920
tier of you know, when healthy, all that good stuff.

95
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:56,160
They got some miles on him, obviously that's an issue,

96
00:04:56,199 --> 00:04:59,519
but when healthy, they're up there in the tier of

97
00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:03,759
the lower end of the tier of elite two star

98
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,439
combo guys. And I'm saying that strictly from an age

99
00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:09,959
mostly it's age. That's why I'm kind of putting them

100
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,560
on the lower tier of that top tier, lower end

101
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,240
of that top tier.

102
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,959
Speaker 2: Excuse me, Yeah, I think they're like more of the

103
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,120
upper end of that sort of middle tier.

104
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: Age why and again just due to the well, I

105
00:05:22,519 --> 00:05:22,720
mean just.

106
00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: Due to availability and everything else.

107
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: It's got to be factored in.

108
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, I would say it's kind of like that

109
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,639
high mid.

110
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 3: If you just look at performance and take out the

111
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:38,959
element of them both being injury prone and a little

112
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,879
bit older. Kauhi especially injury prone. James Harder for the

113
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,720
most part, has been playing a lot the last five

114
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,319
years or so. You had that hamstring injury, with the

115
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,600
Brooklyn Nets, but outside that, he has been readily available

116
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,000
for his squads. If you just take that part of

117
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,600
it out, because I understand where you guys are ranking

118
00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:00,399
them due to that. But if I just go upon

119
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,920
if they're both available that night, and Kawhi looks like

120
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,600
he did last season, and James Harden's right there too,

121
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:11,839
you could make the argument that's an upper echelon duo

122
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:17,319
you really can't like. I think that duo beats the

123
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:20,160
Dallas Mavericks in the first round. I think if Kawhi

124
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,920
is there and Paul George was the guy missing, they

125
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,920
take out Dallas in the first round. Therefore a better

126
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,360
duo than Luca and Kyrie Irving in a playoff setting,

127
00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:33,800
at least like and that team got to the finals

128
00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:37,000
in the end, lost in five, but still got there.

129
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:43,079
I think it's competitive with Ad and Lebron, absolutely. I

130
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,920
think it's competitive with dikal, lejokicch and Murray, but I

131
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,480
would put them below it just because nikol Jokic has

132
00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:51,639
the MVPs, he has the hardware.

133
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: Sure right now, wait wait wait wait wait wait about

134
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:57,879
Jokichen Westbrook, Well, I.

135
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:00,759
Speaker 2: Can't even see it.

136
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: There's upper echelon, and then there's entering the gates of Heaven, okay,

137
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,079
and I don't I don't know they're they're banging on

138
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,959
the pearly gates has computer to open it up for him.

139
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,399
But Yazdakoupo and Dame, I think after how Dave looked

140
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,120
last season, I would say they're competitive with that, and

141
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,680
we've seen Kawhi fully against Giannis fully healthy.

142
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,639
Speaker 2: I would say on par.

143
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,959
Speaker 3: Perhaps, uh, let's see k d and Booker. Obviously you

144
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,319
got to put in but I'm taking those two against

145
00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:35,399
Katie and book.

146
00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate the sons. I'll take them over Katie

147
00:07:38,199 --> 00:07:38,759
and book.

148
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:42,199
Speaker 3: Kawhi before Harden is beating both of those guys in

149
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,759
that series in twenty twenty three. Then you got to

150
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:51,040
consider who else do we got here? Yeah?

151
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: Does that count? I think that counts as a two

152
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:54,560
star duo.

153
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,279
Speaker 3: Or j dubb Chat and I don't know if they're

154
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,439
That's a tough one. Those guys are still ascending so much.

155
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,800
They're good already, but it's like we're gonna find out

156
00:08:06,839 --> 00:08:09,720
a lot about them. They're they're bubbling up right now

157
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,319
with the experience they're gaining.

158
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: How about Fox and Sabonis. I'm taking them over those Jack.

159
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,079
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, Cat is it Cat?

160
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: And ant is it ant?

161
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,959
Speaker 3: And Gobert Cat Cat performed well in the first two rounds.

162
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: Still had the same foul issues as always, But yeah.

163
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: I don't they don't beat Denver without Cat. He was

164
00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:40,679
that important that the stories and coming into the playoffs,

165
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,159
He's coming off the meniscus, all the talk of maybe

166
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,200
him being expendable and what if you got rid of

167
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,279
that contract and nas reads so good. I thought he

168
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,720
performed really well. It's it's tough to say right now

169
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:58,919
with Anthony Edwards in the way he is starting to peak.

170
00:08:59,600 --> 00:08:59,919
Speaker 1: I don't know.

171
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:02,039
Speaker 3: I think they're at least competitive with it.

172
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: They're competitive with the I mean they're they're at least

173
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,039
they're not getting blown out of the water by in

174
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,879
this in these this hypothetical by any of the other

175
00:09:09,919 --> 00:09:11,960
two star duos. They're still very good.

176
00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:13,799
Speaker 3: Joel embiid and.

177
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:20,039
Speaker 1: Who who's the tyres MAXI because they're better than Joel

178
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:25,960
and Beat and Paul George. Paul George sucks. Yeah, but

179
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,000
I think I think that's fair.

180
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 3: They're competitive and and Draymond step of Buddy Heal, I mean,

181
00:09:31,759 --> 00:09:33,759
who are you saying the other guy with Golden State?

182
00:09:34,039 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, odds. I mean what about the Jays, Oh yeah,

183
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,679
Triple j and and John bro Tatum and Brown, oh

184
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,279
Yalen and Jason. I mean they're below those two. I think.

185
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 3: I just yeah, you gotta put them below there right now?

186
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,759
They just won the championship. Dylan Brown was awesome in

187
00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:01,159
the finals, and Jason Tatum did all the little things

188
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,480
even though he struggled offensively.

189
00:10:02,799 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, a year ago, I would have liked, for sure

190
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:07,360
put him totally, would have for sure put him above that.

191
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,720
But yeah, I think you gotta put the Jays above them.

192
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: Which is fair. I mean, again, the guys that are

193
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,279
above PG or excuse me, don't ever let me say that.

194
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,919
The guys that are but I couldn't tell you. I

195
00:10:16,919 --> 00:10:20,960
don't even know the guys that are above Hardening Kawhi are.

196
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,320
It's not a long list. And again, the being competitive,

197
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,919
which is going to be kind of the theme throughout

198
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:31,159
this whole upcoming season for the Clippers. There's always going

199
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,960
to be the case with with Kawhi and Harden out

200
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,240
there for the team.

201
00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 3: Would you say you're more confident as Hardened being the

202
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,440
second guy than Paul George if he was still here.

203
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, we just saw we were just proven why

204
00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:49,559
it's better, right, I just.

205
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: Find that interesting. No, I agree, I mean it's the

206
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,960
last season. I probably wouldn't have said.

207
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: That, absolutely not. Yeah, I agree, Well, sorry, go ahead.

208
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: I was just I mean, like in theory, I like

209
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,039
the idea of like a two way star wing more

210
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,200
than a guard, even a guard of James Hardn's caliber.

211
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:10,399
But I just don't feel like we were getting that

212
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,759
from Paul George on any sort of consistent basis, So

213
00:11:14,919 --> 00:11:16,879
it's difficult for me to say that I would like

214
00:11:16,919 --> 00:11:19,279
that more. And the way he petered out in the playoffs,

215
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,159
I mean, I get there was so much going on

216
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,000
behind the scenes, but that doesn't really matter like to me, Like,

217
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:30,000
I don't care. And it is hard to shake twenty

218
00:11:30,039 --> 00:11:32,360
one because I mean, if we were just coming off that,

219
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,879
it'd be a little different. But yeah, I think I

220
00:11:36,879 --> 00:11:40,279
think from what we saw last season, I'm happier with

221
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:40,879
Harden as it.

222
00:11:40,879 --> 00:11:46,519
Speaker 3: Too Zion de Jon Say, Murray Kawhi, and Harden.

223
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: I liked Jontay Murray Seattle legend, but.

224
00:11:51,159 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: I'm just skipping right past branding or I'm assuming something's

225
00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:55,759
going to happen there, but maybe not.

226
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,639
Speaker 1: We got another question because this ties into the John

227
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,000
Stodd question from data man. Great name. Assuming Kawhi is

228
00:12:04,039 --> 00:12:07,720
healthy and load managing ish, can the Clippers with this

229
00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:12,879
new makeup of defensive players contend or possibly win in

230
00:12:13,039 --> 00:12:16,639
twenty twenty five? Will would you like to take this one?

231
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 2: I mean, this is our year. It's now or never.

232
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:23,960
It's put up or shut up. Contend for what?

233
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: I think? I'm going to assume that data man has

234
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,279
crunched all the numbers and looked at all the analytics

235
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:32,919
and is going with contending for a championship.

236
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:34,639
Speaker 2: No, I don't.

237
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it's not the regular season championship, not

238
00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:37,879
the end season chap.

239
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: The season championship backfired for the team against the Hall.

240
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,320
I feel like they really lost steam after really. I mean,

241
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,919
you gotta be careful with that kind of stuff with

242
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,120
an older team.

243
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: Lord knows, yeah, God.

244
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:58,039
Speaker 2: As currently constructed. No, I don't think the Clippers are

245
00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:03,039
a legitimate threat at at a championship. There's just too

246
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,440
many teams above them. Which isn't to say, like, you know,

247
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,559
maybe there's a couple injuries around the league, you know,

248
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,879
it can happen every year. You maybe get a soft

249
00:13:12,919 --> 00:13:15,519
schedule and then who knows, you have a punchers chance.

250
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,639
But I would say, in any sort of normal circumstances, no,

251
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,159
the Clippers will not contend this year. They will still

252
00:13:22,159 --> 00:13:24,440
be a competitive team, and I think they're gonna be

253
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,440
a lot of fun to watch. Like I'm a little

254
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,200
bit more excited about coming into this year, Like it's

255
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,600
some of the pressure has been released and we're you know,

256
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,639
we tried a lot of different tooling around two, one, three,

257
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,039
some more successful than others, some a lot more fun

258
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,000
to watch than others. But this is, uh, this definitely

259
00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:49,440
feels like getting back to sort of like what the

260
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,200
original idea was with wingstop and like being kind of

261
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,360
having some sort of like grit and defensive edge and

262
00:13:56,399 --> 00:13:58,919
just a lot of guys who are playing with a

263
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,399
chip on their shoulder. So I don't know, I think

264
00:14:02,399 --> 00:14:04,639
that's an exciting brand of basketball, and I think it's

265
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,919
a really interesting pivot because it keeps them competitive enough,

266
00:14:08,039 --> 00:14:11,639
like I said, to like still be enjoyable basketball, but

267
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,440
you're and you're not so far out from you know,

268
00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:18,120
like you're you're one too, your one move and some

269
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:21,080
additional stuff on the margins away from you know, like

270
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,440
you could be back potentially in that conversation, you know,

271
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,440
you're not like so far removed. It's not a full

272
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,679
rebuild or anything like that. So I think it's a

273
00:14:30,679 --> 00:14:32,919
good spot. But no, I could not put them in

274
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,960
contender status.

275
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,039
Speaker 1: Adam, is this our year?

276
00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 3: I feel like putting the kebash on talking about contender

277
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:46,000
competing for a championship stuff until I see Kawhi Leonard

278
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,720
play ten fifteen twenty games straight. He hasn't completed a

279
00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:54,080
playoff series since first round of twenty twenty one, Like,

280
00:14:55,399 --> 00:15:00,279
it's really hard. I hope he's fully healthy. I hope

281
00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:05,000
he's ready to go, so we know, yeah, where his

282
00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:08,639
health is at. And when you go to the question,

283
00:15:08,879 --> 00:15:11,519
look at the part with fload managing, Well, that's obviously

284
00:15:11,639 --> 00:15:14,600
going to take a toll on regular season victories, which

285
00:15:14,679 --> 00:15:18,279
puts you in a tougher position to have a path

286
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:23,039
of least resistance throughout the playoffs. That makes things very difficult.

287
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,799
It's very Let me say this, if they were all

288
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,480
fully healthy heading into the first round, I don't think

289
00:15:30,519 --> 00:15:33,120
anybody would want to see that team, no matter where

290
00:15:33,159 --> 00:15:35,360
you were in the Western Conference. I don't think anybody

291
00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:37,559
would want to see a healthy Kawhi Leonard in a

292
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,720
playoff series. I think that would be a pretty scary

293
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:45,399
proposition for a top seed to have to deal with.

294
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,600
If Kawhi is at the peak of his powers, I.

295
00:15:48,559 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: Mean, into it domes rocking for the first playoff series

296
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:52,840
is underdogs like.

297
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 3: And anything's possible. I just need to see Kawhi have

298
00:15:59,159 --> 00:16:03,360
a sustained period, sustained run of good health now at

299
00:16:03,399 --> 00:16:06,480
the age of thirty three. And it's not just seeing

300
00:16:06,519 --> 00:16:11,000
him healthy. I also want to see him playing at

301
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,639
as high of a level as we saw last season,

302
00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:18,440
because that was one of his best regular seasons ever.

303
00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:22,159
Got his best That thirty game stretch of fifty seven

304
00:16:22,279 --> 00:16:24,879
fifty one to ninety splits is in the all time

305
00:16:25,039 --> 00:16:29,879
NBA record of efficiency. So if he's still that guy

306
00:16:30,279 --> 00:16:31,879
and you got him in the first round and he

307
00:16:31,879 --> 00:16:36,600
could stay healthy, sure, I mean, typically the best player

308
00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:40,399
ends up his team ends up winning the series. Now,

309
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,480
I would say, Luka Doncis in the Dallas Mavericks kind

310
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,399
of just bucked that trend a little bit. I think

311
00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:49,240
he was probably the best player, but the depth, the

312
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:53,440
collective chemistry with the Boston Celtics, the waves they would

313
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,759
throw at you with just different players and all the

314
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:01,120
five out and stretching chare coaching. But I really like

315
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,160
the angle the Clippers are taking to Will's point of

316
00:17:05,279 --> 00:17:07,680
the defensive mindset, because you can win a lot of

317
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,680
games if you dig in your heels defensively each and

318
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,319
every night. I think Doc Rivers used to say that,

319
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,039
you know, if you just play hard during the regular season,

320
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:18,559
I don't think he's the only guy that says this,

321
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,799
but so many teams end up laying down certain ice

322
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,839
during the regular season. But if you're the team that

323
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,359
consistently plays harder out there, regardless of talent, and the

324
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,160
Clippers have plenty of talent, you're gonna be a five

325
00:17:31,279 --> 00:17:32,400
hundred or better team.

326
00:17:33,039 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: Which is funny coming from Doc, because we did see

327
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,160
the Clippers lay down in the regular season every so often.

328
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,759
Speaker 2: I thought they were abysmal last year at home, and

329
00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:43,759
I do not expect that to be the case this year.

330
00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:50,079
Speaker 3: Good I'm guess Doc said this around the twenty seventeen

331
00:17:50,279 --> 00:17:53,799
twenty nineteen area and they're the transitional phase because those

332
00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:58,200
guys probably shouldn't have finished the year above five hundred.

333
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: That was a funy year. So if the Clippers aren't

334
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:08,119
gonna be, you know, contending for a championship, Miles Johnson

335
00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:12,240
wants to know what we think the required stat lines

336
00:18:13,279 --> 00:18:15,480
points per game, rebounds per game, as sister game for

337
00:18:15,559 --> 00:18:17,680
hardening Kawhi would be if we want to be a

338
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:22,480
top six seed. And this kind of relates to another

339
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:25,319
question from Lizo, which is could we see Harden be

340
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,319
the number one option during the regular season to prefer

341
00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:33,599
to preserve Kawhi's health. I don't think Harden being the

342
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,720
number one option preserves Kawhi's health in a way that's significant,

343
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,319
that like prevents him from being hurt, if that makes sense.

344
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,960
It's not. It's not like the offensive load is why

345
00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:47,720
Kawhi was hurt, you know what I'm saying.

346
00:18:47,759 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 3: It's just I mean, it can be taxing your hands,

347
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,319
a high usage rating, all these things, but it's.

348
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,559
Speaker 1: Not like it's ever been an incredibly high usage rate.

349
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,559
I think for I think for like Harden, I think

350
00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:05,279
the assists, if they're going to be top six, that's

351
00:19:05,279 --> 00:19:07,240
probably the most important thing for him. I mean, the

352
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,799
points consistently, you'd like him to probably average twenty ish

353
00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:13,960
and then assists, you'd want to be around like eight

354
00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:16,039
or nine because that means that everyone else is hitting

355
00:19:16,039 --> 00:19:19,160
shots too. Yeah, if.

356
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: I think he's got to do, did you assists with

357
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,680
where his scoring is at rare?

358
00:19:25,599 --> 00:19:26,519
Speaker 1: Yeah? I like that.

359
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,519
Speaker 3: He finished at eight point five last year with the Clippers,

360
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,240
and that was in thirty four minutes a night. Would

361
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,960
you expect an uptick in minutes along with the stat

362
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,279
lines that would have to be there for them to

363
00:19:43,319 --> 00:19:46,920
be he said, the top six seed. Yeah, so well

364
00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:48,119
being out of the plan.

365
00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:52,839
Speaker 2: Because I think I think more minutes less games hmm.

366
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, he was at thirty four and a half

367
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:55,559
for the Clippers.

368
00:19:55,559 --> 00:19:58,759
Speaker 2: Basically I would I would think minutes higher, but like

369
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,720
less overall games.

370
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: Sixty five now he was at seventy two last year.

371
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,759
Speaker 3: They have Chris done at the moment. They still have bones,

372
00:20:10,319 --> 00:20:15,519
they still have norm Kevin Porter juniors there they have.

373
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,640
We've talked a lot about the grip of guards they have.

374
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,640
Maybe they are planning on, you know, getting the most

375
00:20:22,799 --> 00:20:26,640
out of them each and every night by possibly lowering

376
00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:30,160
their minutes, especially you would think so with Kawhi, But

377
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,480
I could see it the other way too, Like Will said,

378
00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:37,279
less games, but in the games they play, they're playing

379
00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:40,920
heavy minutes. I agree, though Harden's got to be double

380
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,799
digit assists in close to twenty one twenty two points

381
00:20:45,799 --> 00:20:48,680
per game for them to be a top six seed.

382
00:20:49,079 --> 00:20:53,839
Kawhi probably has to be around twenty six points per game.

383
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: Because he can't, like because you know, we've talked about

384
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,960
this with Kawhi and pg LA Clippers film on Twitter

385
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,240
talks about this a lot, and so does Jamal Christopher too,

386
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,720
where it's like they're not high volume guys, so you

387
00:21:05,799 --> 00:21:08,480
need that field goal percentage to be higher. You don't

388
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,920
necessarily need the attempt like the attempts. It's not like

389
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,480
all of a sudden, Ka is gonna be taking twenty

390
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,359
plus shots at night, Like that's just not his game.

391
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,519
Speaker 3: Well, at his least efficient year with the Clippers was

392
00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:23,519
his first year, where he was taking nineteen point nine

393
00:21:24,039 --> 00:21:26,640
shot attempts per game. Paul George I think only played

394
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,680
like forty games or something like that season, but he

395
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,440
averaged twenty seven and least efficient for him still meant

396
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,599
forty seven percent from thirty eight percent from the outside,

397
00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:38,839
eight nine percent from the free throw A lot. Is

398
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,599
that still there? He was at thirty two minutes per night.

399
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,480
That seems reasonable that you know, the minutes seem reasonable.

400
00:21:46,519 --> 00:21:48,319
But I think part of that is because they were

401
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,920
blowing teams out. They were the second seed in the West.

402
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,039
They were overpowering teams. They had tres, they had sweet

403
00:21:55,039 --> 00:21:57,039
little Williams, they had a really deep team.

404
00:21:57,279 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: What a pick and roll that was. I make my

405
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,039
nephews sit down and listen to how great that low

406
00:22:02,079 --> 00:22:03,680
in trees pick and roll is every time I go

407
00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:07,519
back home, uh to Montana. So yeah, we think it's

408
00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:11,039
I don't know, like trying to pinpoint the points, rebounds

409
00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:14,880
and assists. It's just like it's very difficult. And Kaui

410
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,799
it's again kawhi. You know, Boardman gets paid all that

411
00:22:17,839 --> 00:22:20,839
good stuff. But like, yeah, he's going to be over seven.

412
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 2: Where he always is like like like twenty four seven

413
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:27,400
or A and four.

414
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's never averaged more than seven point two boards

415
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:33,759
a season in his career.

416
00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:36,839
Speaker 2: So it's like, but one extra board this year, I

417
00:22:36,839 --> 00:22:37,839
would love our year.

418
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, if it's going to be our year,

419
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:46,319
all right. Kind of following that, Jay wants, how do

420
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,839
you how do we think Team Man and Zoo will

421
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,000
improve this upcoming season, And I wanted to point something

422
00:22:52,039 --> 00:22:55,519
interesting out about Terrence Mann because if you will and

423
00:22:55,599 --> 00:22:57,559
I when were on Locked on Clips, we looked at

424
00:22:57,559 --> 00:23:00,000
his per thirty six from like I think it was

425
00:23:00,759 --> 00:23:03,240
nineteen twenty twenty twenty one, twenty one, twenty two. It's

426
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,920
basically identical those three seasons his per thirty six. If

427
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,319
you look at his stats just you know, points, rebounds,

428
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,000
assists from the last two seasons, it's eight point eight

429
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,720
points both years, three point four rebounds both years, and

430
00:23:16,759 --> 00:23:19,440
then two point three assists in twenty two and then

431
00:23:19,519 --> 00:23:24,119
one point six assists in twenty three. He shot fifty

432
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,480
one point nine percent on six and a half field

433
00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:29,480
goal attempts and thirty eight point nine percent on just

434
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,799
under two and a half three point attempts basically both years.

435
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:35,279
So he's kind of he's made a jump a little bit.

436
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,960
But you know, we saw two years of the same thing.

437
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,480
And I don't mean that in a bad way, but

438
00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:44,480
stat wise it it was the same thing. Without Paul George.

439
00:23:44,559 --> 00:23:49,440
I think we're gonna see Terrence given maybe another key

440
00:23:49,519 --> 00:23:51,720
to the offense. We saw him working on some above

441
00:23:51,799 --> 00:23:55,039
the break coming off screen threes on Twitter, posted from

442
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,359
some training thing that I think LT. Murray pointed out.

443
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:02,640
So I think, I mean Terry, I want. I would

444
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,720
love for Terrence to be double digit scoring. He's not

445
00:24:04,759 --> 00:24:07,519
super far away from it now, but if he could

446
00:24:07,519 --> 00:24:11,720
get to sixteen and five, which I don't think is crazy.

447
00:24:13,039 --> 00:24:14,160
I don't think it's crazy.

448
00:24:14,559 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: Doubling his points.

449
00:24:15,599 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 2: From double sixteen might be crazy.

450
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:23,039
Speaker 3: Man, thirteen many knights he's getting twenty, let's do it.

451
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,039
Speaker 1: If the three point there, like he's adding stuff, sixteen

452
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,920
is crazy? How about that?

453
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: I don't think he's doubling.

454
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:32,799
Speaker 1: Okay, thirteen.

455
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,079
Speaker 3: Because you know, his three point percentage still looks really

456
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,680
low from last season because he was so bad to start.

457
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,279
But then I think in twenty twenty four, once the

458
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:46,640
calendar flipped, he shot over forty percent from the outside.

459
00:24:46,759 --> 00:24:49,519
The numbers did come around.

460
00:24:49,079 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: So shoots well in the restricted area.

461
00:24:50,839 --> 00:24:53,279
Speaker 3: Like, no, he's one of the best in the league.

462
00:24:53,319 --> 00:24:56,279
Hasn't been top five the last two years of the RIM, Yeah,

463
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,640
last twenty years, last twenty damn. Yeah, this is going

464
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:01,319
to be their year.

465
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,599
Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's written in the stars. I see

466
00:25:05,599 --> 00:25:07,680
a big ship. Every night I look up at the stars.

467
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,839
I just see a big ship. So you think thirteen,

468
00:25:11,759 --> 00:25:14,039
I don't think the boards are going to get incredibly higher.

469
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,640
I think like five would be cool.

470
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,799
Speaker 3: But his minutes have to be up for him to

471
00:25:20,839 --> 00:25:22,920
get to thirteen points. So therefore the boards have to

472
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,799
be up to they could be like his minute. He

473
00:25:24,799 --> 00:25:26,559
can't be playing just twenty five minutes a night like

474
00:25:26,599 --> 00:25:28,640
he was last season. If he's going to get to

475
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:34,880
thirteen points, he has to start. We know that. I

476
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,839
know that's a little bit of a team that's so

477
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,599
defensive oriented with your starters if you have him next

478
00:25:41,599 --> 00:25:44,200
to James Harden and Dereck Jones, Junior Kawhi Leonard and

479
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,160
if Eats Zubats. But I like that set the tone

480
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,359
early on. This is our identity. They said coming into

481
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,200
last year they wanted to be a top five defense. Well,

482
00:25:54,279 --> 00:25:56,680
the last seventy one games of last season they were

483
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,000
twenty first defensively. I think overall it ended up eighteen

484
00:26:00,319 --> 00:26:04,440
something like that. This team has to keep that mentality.

485
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,000
It just seems to a road after the start of

486
00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:10,039
the season. Maybe it's age, but you know, we always

487
00:26:10,039 --> 00:26:11,799
talk about it beats the zoo Bots and how much

488
00:26:12,279 --> 00:26:14,599
he means to this team, being their anchor it feels

489
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,519
like sometimes he's the only guy. Kawhi was really good

490
00:26:17,559 --> 00:26:19,799
last year, I should say too. And the defensive no

491
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,240
off numbers with him on or off. Basically when he

492
00:26:23,319 --> 00:26:25,559
was off the floor, they were a bottom five defense.

493
00:26:25,599 --> 00:26:27,200
Last year when he was on the floor, they were

494
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,519
close to a top five type of defense. But mostly

495
00:26:30,599 --> 00:26:33,559
minutes for Terrence Man is how we think he improves.

496
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,799
And I guess kind of the same with Zoo, right, yeah,

497
00:26:36,839 --> 00:26:38,519
I mean we talked about this getting thirty.

498
00:26:38,559 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 2: I'm we talked about this last year, even like those

499
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,680
two guys not that young, but for the Clippers, young

500
00:26:46,319 --> 00:26:49,720
are like the key to it, like prolonging the life

501
00:26:49,759 --> 00:26:54,240
of your superstars. And so you know, we saw Zoo

502
00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:57,480
take a jump this season. We always kind of knew

503
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,759
it's been there, but just with more opportunities, and that

504
00:26:59,799 --> 00:27:02,160
can mystery. With James Harden, we you know, we saw

505
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,599
some of the best sustained Zoo that we've seen in

506
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,000
his Clippers, in his Clippers tenure. So I like all

507
00:27:09,039 --> 00:27:12,240
these things I think are possible. It just feels like

508
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,319
we've been saying kind of the same stuff. So I

509
00:27:14,519 --> 00:27:16,599
you know, like I this year, I guess out of

510
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,720
necessity you would think it would have to change, but

511
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,839
I mean it's still kind of TBD to be perfectly honest.

512
00:27:24,039 --> 00:27:26,079
Speaker 1: I think it goes back to what Adam was saying,

513
00:27:26,079 --> 00:27:30,839
we got to see what Tylou is gonna do.

514
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, do I think these guys have the ability? Sure,

515
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,480
but like what's the minutes loo look like? What rotations

516
00:27:36,519 --> 00:27:37,000
are they in?

517
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:37,759
Speaker 1: Like it?

518
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,039
Speaker 2: And I if we do see these jumps stat wise,

519
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,359
like I would like these to come in competitive minutes,

520
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,640
good minutes. I don't just want. I mean, I guess

521
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,400
unless we're blowing a team off the floor and then

522
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,359
there's a lot of garbage time. But also this pivot

523
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:56,640
I do think can remedy the Clippers excruciating starts like

524
00:27:56,839 --> 00:27:59,920
they had some of the coldest starts. Uh. And I

525
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,240
think this year, if you can really make your bones

526
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,559
a little bit more on the defensive end of the ball,

527
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,920
even if shots aren't falling, you can still establish some

528
00:28:09,079 --> 00:28:12,880
rhythm and you're not gonna stop everything, of course, but

529
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,319
I just think like being locked in a little early

530
00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:20,880
tends to translate to some chemistry and rhythm.

531
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 3: On the other end, the other reason, I think they

532
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,680
need to be featured more within the offense next to Kawhi,

533
00:28:25,799 --> 00:28:29,000
next to James Harden in the starting lineup is because

534
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,720
it'll make them a little bit more comfortable on those

535
00:28:32,839 --> 00:28:35,079
nights where they don't have James Harden and they don't

536
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,720
have Kawhi Leonard, because they certainly will be a focal

537
00:28:37,759 --> 00:28:40,799
point of the offense. Then there's no Marcus Morris, there's

538
00:28:40,799 --> 00:28:44,839
no Reggie Jackson, there's no Paul George. These are the

539
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,160
guys who have to make considerable leaps, and I think

540
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,119
are more than capable. They just need more opportunities. They've

541
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,400
shown this over time, especially if Vitza Zubots that month

542
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,559
and a half he had right before the calf injury

543
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,880
last season. He was getting I think thirteen to eleven

544
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,799
every night, and they still at times, I joked, the

545
00:29:03,839 --> 00:29:06,160
looks like they were freezing them out. They go to

546
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,359
them early and they just forget about Zoo. Nowadays, every

547
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:16,400
Ima say sorry, new Eminem album.

548
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, old Eminem. Did you think that was a

549
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:20,799
new Eminem song?

550
00:29:21,119 --> 00:29:23,799
Speaker 3: I mean, the new Eminem album is kind of an

551
00:29:23,839 --> 00:29:24,599
old Eminem.

552
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: You know.

553
00:29:25,839 --> 00:29:28,759
Speaker 3: The entire thing is like a concept album of him going.

554
00:29:28,599 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: Through I'll listen to it. When I joined the military.

555
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:36,759
Speaker 3: I'm a soldier.

556
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,359
Speaker 2: When I get deployed, it'll be my one CD.

557
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:48,079
Speaker 3: CD can't shut my mouth a clear CD player, I'll

558
00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:48,440
burn it.

559
00:29:49,079 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: Please, thank you? All Right, we got a couple more

560
00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:56,119
before we get into some randomer questions. Young man young

561
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,359
mon with two a's. Uh, everyone in Clipper world is

562
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,359
clamoring for a power forward. Do you guys think that

563
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,599
our front office and L Frank believe that we can

564
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,240
roll the dice with Nico? Uh, Kobe Brown, Kai Jones

565
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,119
and dare I say Cardio P I'm assuming is PJ

566
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:16,480
Tucker there is a trade on the horizon. I think

567
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,559
we're chilling until the deadline. Yeah.

568
00:30:20,359 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing other than shedding some salary or getting some

569
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,200
guys out, you know, in like sort of just more money,

570
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,480
more of a getting rid of PJ. Tucker type move.

571
00:30:32,559 --> 00:30:36,720
I don't really see anything else happening, uh prior to

572
00:30:36,759 --> 00:30:37,359
Opening Night?

573
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

574
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: You guys see that report earlier today. It wasn't from WOCH,

575
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,920
it wasn't from Chris Haynes. Then I did not not

576
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:56,599
from Sean Sharani. It wasn't from the guy who had.

577
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:01,119
Speaker 1: Dude shout out EG real real Clippers Twitter people, remember EG,

578
00:31:02,039 --> 00:31:03,359
who I hope he's doing okay?

579
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 3: Was that the guy from USC saying kaw I was

580
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:06,920
going to the Lakers?

581
00:31:07,119 --> 00:31:10,279
Speaker 1: No, dude, E G was the guy who loved heart

582
00:31:10,319 --> 00:31:12,440
and stone and who would always.

583
00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 2: I bet he's doing great right now?

584
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,039
Speaker 1: Yeah. I would always talk thriving how he was the

585
00:31:17,039 --> 00:31:19,920
next Jokic and like he hated the Clippers for how

586
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,160
they used him. Man, what a legend.

587
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:26,119
Speaker 2: I think he started the yok all right, sorry for

588
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,799
completing What was the report from this very unverifiable source?

589
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,759
I know this is a news program man.

590
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 3: This is Sean Devini.

591
00:31:39,359 --> 00:31:39,559
Speaker 1: Uh.

592
00:31:39,599 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 3: He's an NBA insider and content editor for heavy dot com.

593
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,720
Awesome go check it out. Author of Greed and Glory,

594
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,920
He says that he talked to an NBA exact in

595
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,920
the Western Conference that thinks the Clippers would like to

596
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:02,160
acquire another star, and Julius Randall could be that guy.

597
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: That name has been floated. I know that josephry Award

598
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,519
I think is pro Randall, but he might have lost

599
00:32:09,519 --> 00:32:14,960
his mind. Is whoa shots fired to a former Clippers podcast.

600
00:32:15,839 --> 00:32:18,559
Speaker 2: It doesn't seem to fit with every other move that

601
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,319
they've done. This offseason in terms of building a more

602
00:32:21,359 --> 00:32:24,440
defensive team. But hey, that's also very on brand for

603
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,920
the Clippers completely.

604
00:32:27,759 --> 00:32:30,759
Speaker 1: And then completely turn away from because you gotta add

605
00:32:30,839 --> 00:32:32,039
Terrence in that trade, right.

606
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,519
Speaker 3: I don't know what his values at right now. Honestly,

607
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,240
they made the playoff run without him. They don't have

608
00:32:41,279 --> 00:32:44,480
Heart and Stein now, so his role could change very

609
00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:48,519
much and win now mode they are. I don't He's

610
00:32:48,559 --> 00:32:54,559
had some really miserable playoff series for them. Yes, Now,

611
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,559
what's interesting about this is I looked at his contract

612
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,599
and he is a player option after this season and

613
00:33:02,759 --> 00:33:05,000
is an unrestricted free agent in the summer of twenty

614
00:33:05,079 --> 00:33:08,119
twenty six. So it would line up timing wise with

615
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,920
the Clippers and that possible Shadow plan of reloading Shadow

616
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:18,440
Shadow Ship with one of those possible free agents and

617
00:33:18,599 --> 00:33:22,039
superstars that are gonna be out there, so it wouldn't

618
00:33:22,119 --> 00:33:24,240
hurt them there, unlike Zach Levine, which is one of

619
00:33:24,279 --> 00:33:26,559
the reasons that has been kind of shot down because

620
00:33:26,839 --> 00:33:29,200
if he opts in, you're pretty much stuck with him.

621
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:30,400
And you do know, I have an opportunity to bringing

622
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,920
someone in twenty twenty six. I don't hate the idea

623
00:33:34,559 --> 00:33:38,799
of just having a different dimension to this team. They

624
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:42,160
haven't had a power forward like this. They haven't had

625
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,440
a power forward like John Collins either. I think either

626
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,680
of those guys would I don't know, just add an

627
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,319
extra element to the offense. I don't know if it

628
00:33:52,359 --> 00:33:54,079
would be great. I don't know if it would be good.

629
00:33:55,319 --> 00:33:58,440
I would probably do it, depending on what you're giving up.

630
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,759
I don't like when Terrence Man's name is going to

631
00:34:00,839 --> 00:34:01,559
be out there.

632
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,119
Speaker 1: Because it's not you know, like it's it's not.

633
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 2: Likely have of yeah, like value, because it's going to

634
00:34:06,039 --> 00:34:10,000
be like one asset, like one asset and and salary.

635
00:34:10,039 --> 00:34:11,360
I would I would imagine.

636
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,639
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a trade machine version where it's like

637
00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:17,480
bones PJ a mirror and like and like it wor

638
00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:18,960
but like the Knicks wouldn't do that.

639
00:34:19,639 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 3: Is it possible though, that they just want to get

640
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,159
rid of him at this point? I think he could

641
00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:26,840
be somewhat of a cap casualty because they have so

642
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,719
many guys, they re signed them all, and they're just like,

643
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,000
we got to get off this contract here because we're

644
00:34:32,039 --> 00:34:36,639
way over I I don't know if he's valued all

645
00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:41,199
that highly right now by Knicks fans or the front office.

646
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,639
I could be wrong about that, but they'd have to

647
00:34:44,639 --> 00:34:48,000
replace him with somebody. They need another big I don't

648
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,679
know if PJ. Tucker is going to be the guy

649
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:51,119
for them.

650
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, I hey, I hope they Maybe

651
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,400
they think you talk about guys who deserve an opportunity,

652
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,400
as the OC Register ask any paper asked the OC

653
00:35:02,639 --> 00:35:07,920
High School newspaper. Probably J. Zucker once more minutes I

654
00:35:08,039 --> 00:35:10,119
read about it. Can I get one of those papers? Kids?

655
00:35:10,159 --> 00:35:14,800
It's PJ. Tucker selling the papers, all right? Yang wants

656
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:19,400
to know. Is Robert Williams a realistic get for the Clippers,

657
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,519
A guy who has not played a lot of basketball

658
00:35:21,599 --> 00:35:26,719
due to injuries. Maybe I don't think the Clippers want

659
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,360
to take that chance necessarily.

660
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,760
Speaker 2: I like the idea of him as a backup.

661
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,039
Speaker 3: I wanted them to draft him badly. I was screaming

662
00:35:37,079 --> 00:35:38,920
about it, but uh it didn't happen.

663
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: He had some.

664
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 3: Uh party issues, some tardy issues. He was late. Yeah, yeah,

665
00:35:48,119 --> 00:35:48,920
the old time.

666
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,159
Speaker 1: Lord yeah he Uh. I just think he's too hurt.

667
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,199
I don't know if a.

668
00:35:55,280 --> 00:36:01,159
Speaker 3: Team that Yeah, it's every year you're wondering. And I

669
00:36:01,199 --> 00:36:07,559
love his play when he's he could have been, you know,

670
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,960
a complete difference maker for the Boston Celtics in an

671
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,920
alternate universe. Yeah, if he just stays healthy, like and

672
00:36:15,159 --> 00:36:16,800
I think they could have won that way too. I

673
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,360
think he's that good. But I'm trying to look up

674
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:21,280
his contract here.

675
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, make it in Boston.

676
00:36:25,639 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 3: He's making twelve million this year, thirteen million next year,

677
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:34,679
unrestricted free agent after that at the age of twenty nine.

678
00:36:33,639 --> 00:36:37,559
Speaker 2: PJ, PJ and Bones. I don't think he's.

679
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: Why you get it done.

680
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 3: So for the Portland Trailblazers, the allure there is this

681
00:36:44,639 --> 00:36:46,719
they get off the contract of PJ after one year.

682
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they get them. They get the veteran leadership with

683
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,239
PJ Tucker too.

684
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,599
Speaker 2: Of course starter wire on Bones flipp him for a

685
00:36:57,679 --> 00:36:58,840
couple of seconds or something.

686
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: Bones would thrive and Portland.

687
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 3: I wonder how Chauncey feels about Bones. Yeah.

688
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: I love that clip of Chauncey talking about they had

689
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,400
a player post a highlight when they were like down eighteen,

690
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,880
and Chauncey like ripped into him, like he was like,

691
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,559
why are you posting the highlights? We're down eighteen? Who cares?

692
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,159
Speaker 3: I can see them not wanting Bones though, because of

693
00:37:20,159 --> 00:37:23,400
scoot and just clash the talents there and not wanting

694
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,599
to stun his growth at all.

695
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:30,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Robert Williams maybe could be. If it's for PJ, sure,

696
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,440
sign me up. Yeah, let's do it.

697
00:37:33,039 --> 00:37:33,559
Speaker 3: I'd love that.

698
00:37:34,199 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be. I mean maybe that's the trade that

699
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,639
happens before the season starts. Who knows. Coming up, we

700
00:37:40,679 --> 00:37:42,960
have more random questions. These are getting a little more

701
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,679
off the rails. I think the first one is gonna

702
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,840
make adams head explode. But before that, we have some

703
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,920
ads coming up, or if you're listening to us on audio,

704
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,800
which we always appreciate, if you're watching us on YouTube

705
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,280
at Clippers dot com Slash at Clippers podcast, we'll still

706
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,599
be here. Will might even be chugging water. But coming up,

707
00:37:59,639 --> 00:38:01,840
we got some more questions after some loud ads and

708
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:03,079
three two one.

709
00:38:04,079 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in to Clips and Dip. This

710
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,599
is your mega mailbag episode. We asked for your questions,

711
00:38:10,639 --> 00:38:12,320
you sent them in. Now we're going to answer them,

712
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,639
well some of them, a lot of them. You know

713
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,679
a lot of smart listeners out there, so we we're

714
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,840
definitely gonna answer a lot of them. Uh, we got

715
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,280
into some kind of real stuff, talking about where the

716
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,199
Clipper Citi is contenders, where the duo of Harden and

717
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,639
Kawhi ranks. Now we're kind of just getting into into

718
00:38:28,679 --> 00:38:33,480
some more fun stuff. So yeah, let's let's get into it.

719
00:38:35,039 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 1: Sorry, I had a healthy chug real quick. I was

720
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:38,800
inspired by the first one.

721
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 2: This first one doesn't seem that fun.

722
00:38:41,039 --> 00:38:43,039
Speaker 3: Which one of the if you is leaving for the

723
00:38:43,199 --> 00:38:45,320
urinal first after drinking all this.

724
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: Oh, I got a whole setup in here. Dude, I

725
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,079
don't need to leave ever, got a tube?

726
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,679
Speaker 3: You got the toured into it? Do you said they

727
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:52,840
won't be missing one of these?

728
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? I took one of the They just hand out

729
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,159
toilets on those tours. You can just take one home.

730
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:00,679
Will What is this first question?

731
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 2: The Clippers keep Laurence Frank.

732
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,599
Speaker 1: Hot take? Yes, I don't think firing your GM between

733
00:39:12,639 --> 00:39:15,480
now and the season. It's gonna happen.

734
00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 2: This is just fun question.

735
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 3: Is it pretty universally accepted by Clippers fans that, considering

736
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,880
they lost Paul George, they couldn't have bounced back much

737
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,960
better than they did this offseason?

738
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,519
Speaker 1: I think yeah, I mean I think that the biggest

739
00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:35,559
harp on Lawrence Frank has been the power forward thing.

740
00:39:36,159 --> 00:39:38,000
I'm not agreeing with it. That just seems to be

741
00:39:38,039 --> 00:39:38,840
what is out there.

742
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,639
Speaker 2: But I mean, also, how like, I gotta be honest,

743
00:39:41,679 --> 00:39:44,679
I know a lot of people are fun. I know

744
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,840
a lot of people are like are pretty critical of

745
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,800
Laurence Frank And I can definitely see that. And I'm

746
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,239
not saying that he's perfect or the best GM in

747
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,400
the in the league, but he's definitely in the upper

748
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,880
echelon the upper tier. He's good enough that you're not

749
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,840
getting somebody better. And the guy I think has had

750
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,880
to operate for the last five years with his hands

751
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,960
tied behind his back, like he's completely been hamstrong. He's

752
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,119
had to like he's had to bend to the point

753
00:40:09,119 --> 00:40:12,280
of breaking so many times for the stars for a

754
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:14,840
coach in the first year of two one three, like

755
00:40:15,119 --> 00:40:17,559
he really you know, Like I do think that there

756
00:40:17,639 --> 00:40:20,639
has been yeah, and and there has been we I

757
00:40:20,639 --> 00:40:22,920
think we even saw it last season, not as bad

758
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:23,920
as it had been in other.

759
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,079
Speaker 1: Years, but like there's clearly some sort.

760
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:29,119
Speaker 2: Of a disconnect at times between the coaching staff and

761
00:40:29,159 --> 00:40:32,960
the front office. So I don't know, man, I I'm

762
00:40:33,039 --> 00:40:35,400
not saying that he's perfect. I do think that it's

763
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,960
it's it's fair to make criticisms, but I do not

764
00:40:40,119 --> 00:40:42,159
see them firing him. I just don't know who you're

765
00:40:42,199 --> 00:40:43,880
getting that's better for the job.

766
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:49,639
Speaker 3: The only criticism that I could somewhat understand is maybe

767
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,360
him not putting his foot down enough when it came

768
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,239
to finding a point guard, whether it be John Wall

769
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,800
or Russell Westbrook. But let me tell you something.

770
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,119
Speaker 2: I think he didn't want to pay.

771
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:06,599
Speaker 3: No every front office, every owner, they all cater to

772
00:41:06,639 --> 00:41:09,719
stars too, and if the stars want somebody, you're gonna

773
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,280
end up getting them because you want to remain a

774
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,400
destination franchise after getting Kawhi and Paul George. That's not changing.

775
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,880
That's put I would put it much more on them,

776
00:41:20,119 --> 00:41:23,440
and maybe coach Lou that I would Lawrence Frank like

777
00:41:23,519 --> 00:41:27,239
he kind of had to do it. I think I.

778
00:41:28,639 --> 00:41:31,039
Speaker 1: We shipped out Reggie Jackson, all those guys, you know,

779
00:41:31,159 --> 00:41:32,760
like he did, and then there was.

780
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, he made his case of why they should bring

781
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,039
in someone like Russell Westbrook, and then Paul George comes

782
00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:41,760
out a day or two later and says we need

783
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,639
him publicly. That's tough. That puts a lot of pressure

784
00:41:45,679 --> 00:41:49,000
on you. Yeah, they they were all clamoring for it.

785
00:41:49,039 --> 00:41:51,440
I don't think it was Lawrence Frank. I I like

786
00:41:51,519 --> 00:41:53,679
the way he wants to build. I like what he's

787
00:41:53,679 --> 00:41:54,679
done this offseason.

788
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,760
Speaker 1: I see the vision, and I like you said, like

789
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,280
losing Paul George, we did. We've done a bunch of

790
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,280
episodes saying after losing Paul George, now we're under the apron.

791
00:42:06,039 --> 00:42:09,320
We have a young guy in DJJ like this is.

792
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,679
Speaker 3: This was better than trading him to Golden State for

793
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:19,599
Moses Moody and I don't know who else. CP three

794
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,440
they were gonna give up, like come on or getting

795
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,639
Wiggins and Moses Moody or something like that. They got

796
00:42:27,679 --> 00:42:31,199
more flexibility and they got a better roster, not doing

797
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,119
something that was going to keep them over the first

798
00:42:34,159 --> 00:42:34,920
and second apron.

799
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they are key. I don't think we don't

800
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,880
think they're they're getting rid of Lawrence Frank is.

801
00:42:40,199 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 3: Le Lawrence Cook and he will he cooked this offseason.

802
00:42:46,079 --> 00:42:50,159
This was him, to Will's point, uh, with some free rate.

803
00:42:50,639 --> 00:42:54,159
For once he did not have his hands bound and

804
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,880
this is I found it pretty interesting gay to see

805
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,840
how he'd like to operate if he didn't have so

806
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,320
many restrictions and this is a more defensive minded team.

807
00:43:04,599 --> 00:43:05,440
That's the identity.

808
00:43:05,639 --> 00:43:08,119
Speaker 1: A couple of the signings maybe we didn't necessarily need.

809
00:43:08,159 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 2: But you also got to keep in mind that he

810
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:14,760
is the guy that that he is the guy that Okay, yeah,

811
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:21,000
all right, well that stuff. I'm assuming those weren't his decisions. Yeah, no,

812
00:43:21,039 --> 00:43:24,960
that's that's that. But you also got to keep in

813
00:43:25,039 --> 00:43:28,840
mind that this is the guy who who orchestrated the

814
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,840
last turnaround of this team, which in the two year

815
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:36,199
turnaround that they had going from lob City into the

816
00:43:36,199 --> 00:43:40,880
two one three era is pretty remarkable. So I don't

817
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:42,599
know why you would want to get rid of that

818
00:43:42,639 --> 00:43:44,559
guy right now.

819
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 3: Whenever players have left the Clippers, for the most part,

820
00:43:50,119 --> 00:43:52,760
they don't say anything bad against the front office. I

821
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,360
can't remember one time. I remember Patrick Beverley is saying,

822
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,519
I love L Frank. They just working the money, so

823
00:43:58,639 --> 00:44:00,360
I had to go, Wait, PJ.

824
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: Tucker leaves, But.

825
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,119
Speaker 3: Maybe he'll complain about the coaching staff. I don't know,

826
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,800
but they've been above approach for the most part with

827
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,440
how they have handled guys. With the report out there

828
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,280
of them up in the offer once they saw how

829
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,280
good they looked on the court with James Harden next

830
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,880
to two one three before their agents even came to them,

831
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,039
talking about Kawhi and Paul George. I like the way

832
00:44:23,039 --> 00:44:23,960
they do business.

833
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,119
Speaker 1: We like it, all right, what's this next one we got?

834
00:44:26,159 --> 00:44:29,360
Is this next one more fun? The first was fun?

835
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:33,199
We got to yell like this one dondo.

836
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 2: Mike wants to know. Do you think the Clippers will

837
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:41,880
retire Blake's number at into it next season? I?

838
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:47,639
Speaker 1: Yes, Actually I think they. I think there's ten.

839
00:44:47,519 --> 00:44:49,639
Speaker 3: Things are going badly well.

840
00:44:49,679 --> 00:44:51,760
Speaker 1: I just think it's a great like I mean, the

841
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,199
team is not a contender, right unless low key that

842
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,280
is our year for real, for real. This is a

843
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,239
thing to help a year that the Clippers probably are

844
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,639
going to have, which is be an annoying team to play,

845
00:45:03,639 --> 00:45:07,760
which is really fun for people who like real basketball

846
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,159
and things like that. But this is a thing to

847
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:10,679
make I.

848
00:45:10,599 --> 00:45:13,079
Speaker 2: Think they should do it. I think they should do it,

849
00:45:13,119 --> 00:45:14,639
and I think they should do it on the night

850
00:45:14,679 --> 00:45:19,199
of Paul George's return. Dude, Oh my god, what if

851
00:45:19,199 --> 00:45:22,159
they did Desive be team Petty do this?

852
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: What if they did Blake and CP three the night of.

853
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely and then be like sorry, we had to put

854
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,519
together too many highlight videos. We couldn't get years in there, Paul.

855
00:45:31,599 --> 00:45:32,280
That's our bad.

856
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 1: We can only introduce one player from the opposing team,

857
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:36,519
and it's you, Paul George. So I hope the crowd

858
00:45:36,559 --> 00:45:38,880
is feeling it that night. Yeah, sign me up.

859
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 3: What if they retired Derek Jones Junior's numbers after after

860
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,760
he locks up Paul George on the night he returns.

861
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,559
Speaker 1: But I think they returned like right out, like they'll

862
00:45:48,599 --> 00:45:51,840
probably it wouldn't be crazy to retire Blake's number at

863
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:54,079
the new stadium that Blake was a large part of.

864
00:45:54,639 --> 00:45:58,039
He should be first fielding blocks. Yeah, I think it'll

865
00:45:58,039 --> 00:45:59,079
be this year. Great question.

866
00:45:59,119 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 3: So somebody asked me the other night. They were at

867
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,199
a bar arguing with their brother, and they asked me.

868
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 1: This sounds like Hell on Earth.

869
00:46:06,639 --> 00:46:12,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's my type of thing, doomed to.

870
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 1: Hell on Earth, subs and bars.

871
00:46:17,119 --> 00:46:22,159
Speaker 3: Strife this cord. They asked who's the greatest Clipper of

872
00:46:22,199 --> 00:46:28,559
all time? And I thought it was either CP three

873
00:46:28,639 --> 00:46:32,840
or Blake, just because they kind of put them down

874
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,519
this path, this road and you probably don't have two

875
00:46:35,599 --> 00:46:38,760
one three without them. If you're talking about overall impact.

876
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,559
If you're talking about most talented player, it's Kawhi. If

877
00:46:41,599 --> 00:46:44,159
you're talking about overall impact and putting the Clippers on

878
00:46:44,199 --> 00:46:47,400
the map, it's Blake Griffin in the dunk contest, all

879
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,480
the highlights being played on Sports Center, he put a

880
00:46:51,519 --> 00:46:54,800
spotlight on the Clippers like they never had, so he

881
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:55,559
should be first.

882
00:46:56,039 --> 00:47:01,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that should happen this year? Why not? Why? Like? Literally,

883
00:47:01,119 --> 00:47:03,519
why not? There's no better time to do it than

884
00:47:03,679 --> 00:47:06,800
at the opening of Not the first day that would

885
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:10,119
be sick, but like the opening year of the new arena.

886
00:47:10,679 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 3: Start a tradition.

887
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:13,760
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be very.

888
00:47:13,639 --> 00:47:15,039
Speaker 3: Well tiring numbers and into it.

889
00:47:15,159 --> 00:47:17,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, wouldn't be a very long one. But how dare

890
00:47:17,159 --> 00:47:20,280
you all right?

891
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 3: Uh?

892
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: JD thirteen? How do you feel about Kawhy not playing

893
00:47:24,519 --> 00:47:27,639
in Team USA after seeing em Bead and Tatum get

894
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,440
benched in Halibert. I don't know.

895
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:36,199
Speaker 3: I know, Derek Weis been pretty good. It's dark. I

896
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:37,360
don't like the situation.

897
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:38,079
Speaker 1: I don't.

898
00:47:38,079 --> 00:47:40,039
Speaker 3: We talked about it last week with Tom Marrizarlan. You

899
00:47:40,039 --> 00:47:43,320
guys should catch that episode because we really tried to

900
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,960
dig into an investigation regarding what happened with Kawhi Leonard

901
00:47:47,039 --> 00:47:50,280
leaving Team USA, Who's to blame? Who's at fault? Because

902
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,679
when you look at the situation with Kevin Durant and

903
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,119
him missing all the exhibition games, and yet Steve Kerr

904
00:47:57,119 --> 00:48:00,559
came out and vocally supported him and said there's no

905
00:48:00,679 --> 00:48:03,719
way he's leaving. Something to that effect. It was just

906
00:48:04,039 --> 00:48:07,760
it felt like a little bit of a double standard. Absolutely,

907
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:11,760
I have a little bit a little bit of an

908
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,280
issue with that. Obviously, Kawhi wasn't happy about it, which

909
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,639
kind of makes me happy because that means he felt

910
00:48:17,639 --> 00:48:20,360
like he was healthy and ready to go. I like that, Yes,

911
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,079
in a good place. I'm just guessing if Lawrence Frank

912
00:48:24,159 --> 00:48:26,039
is coming out like that in Oppressor, we know Kawi

913
00:48:26,159 --> 00:48:27,960
is not going to do it like he's not gonna

914
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,000
he's he doesn't want the attention like that.

915
00:48:30,039 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: He's not gonna say anything on an unannounced Kawhi presser.

916
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,400
I would be terrif I'd be like, what the fuck

917
00:48:37,559 --> 00:48:41,559
what are we about to hear? So I also, I

918
00:48:41,599 --> 00:48:45,119
think it's weird. I don't think a lot of people

919
00:48:45,199 --> 00:48:47,719
are like, oh, it's a Nike thing, Like oh, it's

920
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,159
because he's a new balanced guy. Embiid is on Sketchers.

921
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,679
I don't think it's a Nike thing. You know what

922
00:48:54,679 --> 00:48:56,440
it's like, and Bead's on Sketchers.

923
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,159
Speaker 3: Steph's he sued Nike.

924
00:49:00,079 --> 00:49:03,559
Speaker 1: He did sue Nike, but didn't they win. But they

925
00:49:03,559 --> 00:49:05,519
are petty and they do sue a BA. They did win,

926
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,639
that's fair. They also called Steph Steven during their presentation.

927
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,840
So I don't know if it's a Nike thing.

928
00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 3: I I don't think there's Nike. I think they were concerned.

929
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 1: Nike. You can send the check to twenty six thirty three.

930
00:49:25,639 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 3: Kaw I felt like he was ready to play. They

931
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,039
weren't willing to see if he was going to be

932
00:49:30,039 --> 00:49:34,000
able to play the entire way throughout the entire campaign.

933
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:35,559
Speaker 1: But they were with KD.

934
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 3: I don't know if they had better intel on what

935
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,840
was going on with KD because did he go like games?

936
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 2: What was the history with the team though KD, Yeah,

937
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:46,159
that's true.

938
00:49:46,199 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 3: He does, and it's like, well so does Tatum. He

939
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:52,360
all didn't give it a crap about him, like okay.

940
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,679
Speaker 2: They just thought he was sleepy. He had to play

941
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:56,880
so many playoff games, so tired.

942
00:49:57,199 --> 00:50:01,119
Speaker 3: He just seems really inconsistent honestly, are they still likely

943
00:50:01,159 --> 00:50:01,519
gonna win?

944
00:50:01,639 --> 00:50:04,159
Speaker 1: Of course, That's what I love. I do love. Like

945
00:50:04,199 --> 00:50:06,840
there's all these people like they didn't they like Jayson

946
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,360
Tatum's like they beat survey by twenty six. None of

947
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,239
these players care about playing time except maybe Joel Embiid,

948
00:50:12,519 --> 00:50:16,519
but like they're gonna it's gonna be. It'll shake out

949
00:50:16,519 --> 00:50:18,639
how it's supposed to shake out with this collection.

950
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:22,639
Speaker 3: Of guys, as long as they actually playing the matchups

951
00:50:22,679 --> 00:50:26,039
like they have. I have no issue with sitting guys

952
00:50:26,079 --> 00:50:29,920
certain nights. I saw people talk about Jason Tatum, and

953
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,440
I get the argument that he can do all the

954
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,480
little things too, and he's not just somebody that has

955
00:50:33,519 --> 00:50:36,599
to be ball dominant out there. But I think Derek

956
00:50:36,639 --> 00:50:40,280
White is more comfortable and more familiar with playing that role.

957
00:50:41,159 --> 00:50:45,159
And then I kind of took a shot on Twitter saying,

958
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:49,000
you know, if you're gonna do this, you have to

959
00:50:49,119 --> 00:50:51,599
stick with it and do it with other players too

960
00:50:51,599 --> 00:50:54,360
who aren't performing. And then the next game he bench

961
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,480
Joel Embiid. Yeah, so I'm good with that, Like that's

962
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,920
being consistent. Anthony Davis has been much better than him,

963
00:51:01,559 --> 00:51:04,400
Yes he has. He is sam out of bios were

964
00:51:04,639 --> 00:51:07,760
much better than him. Wendy, he thought he wasn't gonna

965
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:11,800
play wind Horse Bader prediction that Bam was gonna be

966
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,079
the guy asked out of the rotation against Southseadan.

967
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 1: Bam is perfect for FIBA, dude, Like, yeah, Bam and

968
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,599
kd on the court together in FIBA is they could

969
00:51:21,639 --> 00:51:24,199
go two on five and it wouldn't be you know

970
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:29,400
what I mean? Like, it's crazy those two guys, Christian

971
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,920
Hackney in our opinion, in our perfect scenario for Free

972
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,920
Agency twenty twenty six, we already know Adam's answer. Who

973
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,559
would you guys like to see here? Is there a

974
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:41,119
chance we can get our long lost child Shay back?

975
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:46,119
Or is that bridge Burne. I don't know if Shae

976
00:51:46,199 --> 00:51:50,000
is leaving Oklahoma City. I think he likes building a thing.

977
00:51:51,119 --> 00:51:54,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't see him ever leaving. Honestly, he also

978
00:51:54,639 --> 00:51:56,599
likes La though he has friends.

979
00:51:56,639 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: He talked about having friends here too.

980
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 3: You know what, though, if they want a chanceampionship, then

981
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,039
I could see it. It'd be like Lebron, now you

982
00:52:04,079 --> 00:52:08,840
can leave Cleveland because you got there that ring. I

983
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:10,960
could see him leaving if they win a championship, and

984
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:12,159
then saying now I'm going to bring much of the

985
00:52:12,199 --> 00:52:13,920
clippers they drafted me.

986
00:52:15,159 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 1: That is true.

987
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:18,320
Speaker 2: We can't offer as much money though.

988
00:52:18,599 --> 00:52:19,639
Speaker 1: That's what gives me.

989
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 2: Already more endorsement opportunities, though probably in Los Angeles than

990
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:28,079
Oklahoma City. I would think he.

991
00:52:28,079 --> 00:52:32,199
Speaker 1: Could be on lawyer billboards out here. He has. He

992
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:36,400
also has the most annoying commercial ever already with Chez.

993
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. He already does have a commercial with

994
00:52:38,559 --> 00:52:39,960
a ton of airplay time.

995
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean I think his fashion instincts would

996
00:52:45,079 --> 00:52:48,400
work better well, So opportunities for that.

997
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: He is the best dressed guy in Oklahoma City? Would

998
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:52,480
you give that up to come to La where he

999
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,079
would not be that. He's got to compete with Jimmy

1000
00:52:54,079 --> 00:52:58,199
Goldstein out here. He wants to compete bro dide Jimmy Goldstein.

1001
00:52:58,519 --> 00:53:00,400
I like it, Okay, So.

1002
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:02,039
Speaker 3: He wants to zoom under.

1003
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 2: It for bucket with gold dude jacket for dude jacket

1004
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,679
for jacket with Jimmy Goldstein.

1005
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 1: Let's set it up. I don't know how we set

1006
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,360
that up. I don't even dude, who could even? Man?

1007
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:19,039
I don't know. Okay, So other than Shay and rand

1008
00:53:19,039 --> 00:53:22,559
and Julius Randall who would you guys want in that

1009
00:53:22,559 --> 00:53:32,360
that twenty six thing class I'm pulling. I mean, I

1010
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,360
know he would be great on the court, but dude,

1011
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:39,360
I would I don't want to root for Luca. I hate,

1012
00:53:41,559 --> 00:53:46,159
oh would? Dude? He's always getting found. Everyone should actually

1013
00:53:46,159 --> 00:53:47,280
talk to the ref like this.

1014
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,760
Speaker 3: Who cares about defend all the time when he was here?

1015
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:51,079
Speaker 2: Chuck?

1016
00:53:51,519 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, all the time, all those old remember those shows.

1017
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,199
If you use AI to recreate me defending CP three,

1018
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:01,679
I will I will be getting with tigious.

1019
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,679
Speaker 3: Jealous of defending CP three constantly.

1020
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,159
Speaker 1: Yeah. I had to get my CP three tattoo removed

1021
00:54:06,159 --> 00:54:09,960
before we started clips and dip. Luca is not coming here.

1022
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:12,760
There's no way he's coming to the Clippers.

1023
00:54:13,559 --> 00:54:16,079
Speaker 2: No, given the history, I don't I just don't think though,

1024
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,280
you know, I guess he does own the Clippers. He

1025
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,320
might as well just hop on in the driver's scene.

1026
00:54:20,559 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw my computer into the fucking sea.

1027
00:54:27,079 --> 00:54:30,199
Speaker 3: You know what, that free agency class and that possibility

1028
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,519
that's out there in twenty twenty six tells me Hm

1029
00:54:35,519 --> 00:54:37,880
that the Clippers did the right thing and going for

1030
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,880
it when they had a chance. Yeah, I like that

1031
00:54:41,159 --> 00:54:45,039
doesn't come around that often. We're dreaming about twenty twenty

1032
00:54:45,039 --> 00:54:48,239
six right now, and the two top guys on that

1033
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:52,079
list we both believe likely are gonna stay where they're

1034
00:54:52,159 --> 00:54:56,360
at comfortably already in Okay see with Sga in Dallas

1035
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:57,960
with Luka Doncicsh.

1036
00:54:57,599 --> 00:55:04,920
Speaker 1: Say what about Lebron staph Ronnie Brote, Stephan Bryce twenty

1037
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:09,239
twenty six the weirdest year of Clippers basketball of all time?

1038
00:55:09,639 --> 00:55:13,199
We have Lebron, James second Son and Steph Curry. Dude,

1039
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:14,920
that would be like that would be a time, that

1040
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:19,559
would be such a demented timeline. Just what a weird Yeah,

Speaker 3: Uh, let's uh dip into the new flagship store for

1060
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,519
the Clippers and into a dome which I definitely want

1061
00:56:19,519 --> 00:56:21,639
to visit. I should have gone. Was that yesterday they

1062
00:56:21,679 --> 00:56:25,719
had the unveiling of it. I did buy a hat,

1063
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,559
so I kind of went to the online store at least.

1064
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: All right, if you're if you're listening.

1065
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:41,159
Speaker 3: Dip on his show too much?

1066
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:44,159
Speaker 1: All right, what is this? What do we got for

1067
00:56:44,199 --> 00:56:46,199
the first question? Out of Uh?

1068
00:56:46,639 --> 00:56:50,519
Speaker 3: Okay, this is kind of a loaded question in some ways.

1069
00:56:50,559 --> 00:56:54,599
It's assuming things. But which jersey are you going to order?

1070
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:59,599
First player and color from the new Clips flagship store?

1071
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:05,079
Speaker 1: Check? So why steal this one? But I don't want

1072
00:57:05,079 --> 00:57:09,559
to steal this one? Pushing the old lady.

1073
00:57:10,599 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 2: Eric Wee fantastic, Uh shout out Eric illustrator, artist who's

1074
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,440
done all this art, talked about getting a red Pablo

1075
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,280
Prigioni and I feel like that is like the funnest

1076
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:23,880
one that you could possibly get.

1077
00:57:24,239 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: That would be hilarious. That would be very funny.

1078
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 2: All right, Sorry, what are you doing? Milo?

1079
00:57:30,519 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm doing a half Melosh half Apolow jersey. No,

1080
00:57:34,119 --> 00:57:37,440
I think I've been thinking because I'm not a big

1081
00:57:37,519 --> 00:57:41,119
jersey guy. I don't wear jerseys. It's not my thing.

1082
00:57:41,599 --> 00:57:44,599
Speaker 3: They're assuming we're going to buy a jersey and wear

1083
00:57:44,599 --> 00:57:45,039
a jersey.

1084
00:57:45,079 --> 00:57:46,719
Speaker 1: But if I were to buy a jersey to get

1085
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:50,000
signed by the player that I bought it from, dude

1086
00:57:50,039 --> 00:57:54,440
Red Terrence man jersey. I have a Blake jersey. Hannah

1087
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,119
has a PG jersey, the Drew League City edition. I

1088
00:57:57,199 --> 00:58:02,000
need a Red Terrence. That ship sounds cool and it

1089
00:58:02,119 --> 00:58:02,880
would look cool.

1090
00:58:03,679 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 3: I need to know which jersey Carl is going to buy.

1091
00:58:07,079 --> 00:58:08,920
Therefore we'll know who's getting traded.

1092
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, for those of you who haven't known all the

1093
00:58:13,199 --> 00:58:16,280
Carl lore, he's got the Westbrook jersey, a John wall jersey,

1094
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:19,679
in a PJ Tucker jersey. It should be PJ. Based

1095
00:58:19,719 --> 00:58:20,920
on how that timeline goes.

1096
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 3: He has a jersey in the store. Have we confirmed that?

1097
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,719
Let me I'm on the west That would be interesting.

1098
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: They have like every jersey. So that's the other crazy

1099
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,519
thing is they have like every jersey just at the store.

1100
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,840
But Tom norm.

1101
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,079
Speaker 3: I certainly want to. I wouldn't want to draw any

1102
00:58:41,079 --> 00:58:43,199
attention this way, but it would be interesting if PJ.

1103
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:52,280
Tucker did not have a jersey jersey. I would probably

1104
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:55,400
go with big Zoo in a big red jersey. I

1105
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,239
want the red one too. You got to get the

1106
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:57,960
red o.

1107
00:59:00,079 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 1: We have an issue on the La Clippers team store.

1108
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:07,000
Eh uh, I'm gonna I'm gonna share my screen? Will

1109
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:08,679
who would you? Oh? You're wait, so you will? You're

1110
00:59:08,719 --> 00:59:10,360
going with the Pablo Peroni.

1111
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 2: No, I'm not gonna steal that. I was also thinking

1112
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:16,199
a Zoo one. I guess I'll go Red Harden. Red

1113
00:59:16,239 --> 00:59:19,719
Harden is sick. I'm just hanging up, hanging up somewhere.

1114
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:26,000
Speaker 1: Weird. No, yeah, okay, so we got We're on the

1115
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:30,360
Clippers store. I typed in Tucker to see if they have,

1116
00:59:31,119 --> 00:59:34,119
you know, like a red PJ. Tucker size double x O.

1117
00:59:34,199 --> 00:59:37,159
I can wear something like that. I'm scrolling down. They don't,

1118
00:59:37,239 --> 00:59:41,599
which makes sense, but they gotta. They gotta figure out this.

1119
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:43,519

also be interested in stuff for Oh no, for PJ.

1126
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:11,159
Tucker searches. I can't really fault him for that. Yeah,

1127

we'll ask, we'll ask. I'll text Car right now. See

1129
01:00:15,519 --> 01:00:17,719
Speaker 3: That question was from Neighborhood clip, by the.

1130
01:00:17,639 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: Way, Yes, and then we have one. Oh, go ahead, Adam,

1131
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,119
I'm gonna text Car real quick about this jersey scenario.

1132
01:00:23,639 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 3: My clippers wants to know what he or she claims

1133
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:31,599
to be the most important question with the three new jerseys,

1134
01:00:31,719 --> 01:00:34,880
which one will be lucky? Which one will be unlucky?

1135
01:00:35,119 --> 01:00:39,199
Speaker 2: Will they'll all be lucky? This is our year?

1136
01:00:44,039 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: You tee it up? He knocks it out of the park.

1137
01:00:47,679 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 3: I gotta be honest. I hate this question. There's no

1138
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,000
such thing. No jerseys.

1139
01:00:55,039 --> 01:00:58,119
Speaker 2: For the record, Adam, you hate most questions.

1140
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:04,039
Speaker 3: Oh, and they're good. I like them. There were some

1141
01:01:04,119 --> 01:01:08,239
good ones in today's show and some that on the

1142
01:01:08,239 --> 01:01:09,039
cutting room floor.

1143
01:01:09,119 --> 01:01:11,599
Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah. Someone asked if you're gonna get zach Lavine,

1144
01:01:11,599 --> 01:01:14,639
and we've talked about that at Nazio. I think I

1145
01:01:14,639 --> 01:01:17,719
think rad is gonna be seen as lucky because everyone

1146
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:18,960
just as excited for the Red.

1147
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:24,079
Speaker 2: Jers waited so long. I mean, I get the they did.

1148
01:01:24,199 --> 01:01:26,599
They did deliver on the hype. I am glad that.

1149
01:01:26,639 --> 01:01:29,639
Oh yeah, they did take their time with this rebrand

1150
01:01:30,079 --> 01:01:33,239
and the time, the specific time they chose to launch it,

1151
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:38,119
I think it was questionable, but overall, I think they

1152
01:01:38,119 --> 01:01:38,840
did the right thing.

1153
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,679
Speaker 1: Yes, but I think the rat is going to be

1154
01:01:41,719 --> 01:01:43,760
seen as it is a lucky one.

1155
01:01:44,639 --> 01:01:47,719
Speaker 3: Now, that's like the alternate city edition type of jersey.

1156
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,079
Speaker 1: Right, I believe. So do we know what the city

1157
01:01:50,199 --> 01:01:53,360
editions are gonna be? Because the Red ones you also

1158
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:56,519
can't order them until like January, so I think they

1159
01:01:56,639 --> 01:01:59,400
must be some kind of addition because everyone was asking

1160
01:01:59,440 --> 01:01:59,920
about that too.

1161
01:02:03,199 --> 01:02:06,239
Speaker 3: So obviously we're getting the White Clippers for home. The

1162
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:09,039
blue on the road is your traditional home away jerseys,

1163
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,800
which I love both of them. Yeah, red jerseys for

1164
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,639
a matinee game on a Saturday. Oh wait, they won't have.

1165
01:02:15,599 --> 01:02:20,079
Speaker 1: Any Hey, let's not. Let's I'm not. I'm not celebrating

1166
01:02:20,159 --> 01:02:24,199
until we see the schedule, dude, a lot of concerts

1167
01:02:24,199 --> 01:02:26,960
could happen. I'm not celebrating.

1168
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,199
Speaker 3: They're putting concerts over an arena that was built for

1169
01:02:30,199 --> 01:02:30,800
the Clippers.

1170
01:02:31,199 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. We've seen everything, dude.

1171
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 3: The clip Taylor doesn't have a banner and into a home.

1172
01:02:38,079 --> 01:02:41,239
Speaker 1: Hey, yes again, I'm not Yeah, we'll get there when

1173
01:02:41,239 --> 01:02:44,239
we get there. One quick note before we get into

1174
01:02:44,239 --> 01:02:48,119
the dips, Will is about to show his dip bones.

1175
01:02:48,159 --> 01:02:51,400
Highland dropped fifty three and the ball don't stop pro

1176
01:02:51,519 --> 01:02:53,679
am way do you go? Bones?

1177
01:02:55,239 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 3: I mean he almost had forty real game this year.

1178
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:01,239
Speaker 1: Remember that summer that Tres played in every single program

1179
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:05,840
that was like possibly available to him. That was insane

1180
01:03:06,079 --> 01:03:11,199
and just destroyed people. Obviously, no word, no word on

1181
01:03:11,199 --> 01:03:14,320
if PJ. Tucker also dropped fifty three points at the

1182
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:19,840
same event, But maybe he did. I'm gonna guess no,

1183
01:03:20,079 --> 01:03:24,079
but probably gonna go with no. All Right, now we're

1184
01:03:24,119 --> 01:03:26,960
at the second most important part of the show. Dip

1185
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:31,320
talk yay dips. Well, you seem genuinely excited about yours.

1186
01:03:32,239 --> 01:03:34,920
Could you describe it so the people listening could also

1187
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,800
experience your full dip scenario? Oh?

1188
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean I can't really show that much

1189
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:41,679
of the camera. I was so excited about it. I've

1190
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:46,599
already eaten it. Yeah yeah, but I got a I

1191
01:03:46,639 --> 01:03:51,239
got a Tostitos Caso blanco dip oh. I hadn't had

1192
01:03:51,239 --> 01:03:53,880
this before. I normally just rock with their regular caso,

1193
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:57,039
which great. You can't really go wrong with this, As

1194
01:03:57,079 --> 01:04:00,079
the name implies, is like a you know, it's a

1195
01:04:00,159 --> 01:04:02,119
light colored there's a blanco.

1196
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 1: That's your nickname in basketball, right.

1197
01:04:04,119 --> 01:04:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, absolutely absolutely, because I'm just sitting off to

1198
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:10,840
the side eating a big piece of cheese.

1199
01:04:11,079 --> 01:04:15,199
Speaker 3: Yeah that owns sauce castillo.

1200
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 2: But uh yeah, there's like, uh it's it's I felt

1201
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:23,519
like there it was a little chunkier than the regular case,

1202
01:04:23,519 --> 01:04:25,400
so like in a good way. There's like some uh

1203
01:04:25,679 --> 01:04:29,920
you know, some peppery kind of bits in there. The flavor, though,

1204
01:04:30,039 --> 01:04:33,880
is really good. I love regular Tostito's case. I think

1205
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:35,280
this might be my preference.

1206
01:04:36,239 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 1: Is it coming to the barbecue? Would you take it

1207
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:39,320
to a barbecue?

1208
01:04:39,519 --> 01:04:41,519
Speaker 2: For sure, I'd put it in a different you know,

1209
01:04:41,679 --> 01:04:46,800
as per you. I'd put it in a different vessel, yeah,

1210
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,159
and heat it up a bit or something. But no,

1211
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,719
it's really good. I've even had some of this because

1212
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:54,159
I actually brought this dip for the show last week,

1213
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:55,199
but we didn't do.

1214
01:04:55,199 --> 01:04:57,719
Speaker 1: Any dips or all that cheese sauce on the grill

1215
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:59,079
of the barbecue to warm it up.

1216
01:04:59,239 --> 01:05:01,039
Speaker 2: But yeah, I haven't put then on other stuff too,

1217
01:05:01,159 --> 01:05:02,239
like eggs.

1218
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: It's good eggs, all right, Adam, what do you got?

1219
01:05:08,199 --> 01:05:13,679
Speaker 3: I got the traditional tostitos quso medium dip, and I

1220
01:05:13,719 --> 01:05:18,519
was just using is it is it wagu ground beef?

1221
01:05:18,719 --> 01:05:22,719
Is that how you is that how you say it? Wago?

1222
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1223
01:05:24,079 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 3: I was just dipping that in it because I'm trying

1224
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:27,079
to diet like Will.

1225
01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:29,760
Speaker 2: And oh yeah, I didn't mention my chips. They were

1226
01:05:30,159 --> 01:05:33,079
they were. They were pork grinds, but not the spicy kind,

1227
01:05:33,079 --> 01:05:36,400
which normally I usually either get uh spicy teacher owns

1228
01:05:36,599 --> 01:05:40,719
or the the really good uh Sultan vinegar kind from

1229
01:05:40,719 --> 01:05:47,159
Seafood City. But these are playing just because I'm experimenting

1230
01:05:47,199 --> 01:05:49,639
with some different stuff. I want to be. I want

1231
01:05:49,639 --> 01:05:50,760
to be seasoning free.

1232
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Adam's over here with the way.

1233
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 3: I also dipped a dial pickle in it.

1234
01:05:58,760 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 1: It was good.

1235
01:06:00,039 --> 01:06:01,519
Speaker 3: Take a wrong with the original tostatos.

1236
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 1: You're bringing that to the barbecue.

1237
01:06:04,039 --> 01:06:06,679
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's probably already there, but yeah, I'll bring it.

1238
01:06:07,719 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 2: With with with the Wygo chips though, right, yeah, you're

1239
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:12,639
on the hook.

1240
01:06:12,519 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 3: For a Yeah, yeah, I can bring the good stuff.

1241
01:06:16,599 --> 01:06:18,519
Speaker 2: I think people would be fucking psyched on there.

1242
01:06:18,719 --> 01:06:24,199
Speaker 1: I'm with this. It's good meat, got a good barbecue, but.

1243
01:06:24,159 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 2: Instead of the fries, it's just more steaksk okay, So

1244
01:06:29,119 --> 01:06:29,760
I went with.

1245
01:06:30,119 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: I went with a hot sauce that I put into

1246
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:33,880
a bowl and it was dipping nachos into.

1247
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:35,719
Speaker 2: Vowel.

1248
01:06:36,159 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 1: Sure, fine, Tavy up, throw us all out.

1249
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:41,079
Speaker 3: Call the PJ sucker foul.

1250
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:44,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went so the The last time I did

1251
01:06:45,039 --> 01:06:49,599
like a local hot sauce, it was horrible. It was disgusting.

1252
01:06:49,639 --> 01:06:53,880
It was that sweet apple garbage salsa from up in Uh.

1253
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:57,199
I can't remember. I forgot where I was because it

1254
01:06:57,239 --> 01:07:02,079
was so bad. This is kes. It's from Portland. I

1255
01:07:02,159 --> 01:07:04,800
bought it when I was on Bainbridge Island. It's their

1256
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:09,880
green uh, delicious little sweet to start some nice heat

1257
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:12,960
on the back end. Would absolutely bring this to the barbecue.

1258
01:07:14,119 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 3: Looks really chunky, just so thick, like I don't know

1259
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:20,800
if my Wago meat would even be able to handle that?

1260
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:23,039
Speaker 2: Are you?

1261
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 1: I am done with the shot? I don't know. Hey,

1262
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:40,239
that sounds like a personal problem. Oh yeah, pause, yeah, no,

1263
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:44,440
this was this was good. It was Yeah. I would

1264
01:07:44,519 --> 01:07:46,119
I would bring this to the to the barbecue.

1265
01:07:46,519 --> 01:07:48,039
Speaker 3: And would you call it a dip if you brought

1266
01:07:48,039 --> 01:07:48,880
it to the barbecue?

1267
01:07:49,039 --> 01:07:49,239
Speaker 1: No?

1268
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:51,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you putting that like a picture?

1269
01:07:52,159 --> 01:07:53,039
Speaker 1: Or yeah? How are you?

1270
01:07:53,119 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 2: How are you sure.

1271
01:07:55,159 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm putting it in a picture? And the shot loge

1272
01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:01,719
for it is made from chips so instead of ices thing,

1273
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:06,480
and then yeah yeah, and then whatever Adam's doing with

1274
01:08:06,559 --> 01:08:11,519
his beef over by the grill or whatever, that's that

1275
01:08:11,679 --> 01:08:16,760
sort of so again, I think it's two weeks in

1276
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:20,039
a row of being dipped a chip in it.

1277
01:08:23,359 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 2: We're two point five on dips.

1278
01:08:25,079 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 1: We're two point five on dips. We're two point five

1279
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:28,760
out of two point five on dips. We're bat in

1280
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:34,880
a thousand, which I think is fair. Despite Adam's comments,

1281
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:43,199
yet another successful dip segment from clips, I think I

1282
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:49,560
think we have to wrap things up just the show.

1283
01:08:50,399 --> 01:08:52,760
