00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:02.399
<v Speaker 1>Here comes the one.

2
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:05.599
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to Clippers Talk.

3
00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:06.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm at a maslin.

4
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:08.960
<v Speaker 2>It is a new week. Last week, can hear some

5
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.880
<v Speaker 2>of the shows we had Murray on from the Athletic

6
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.080
<v Speaker 2>That was a live, a two hour edition. I don't

7
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.760
<v Speaker 2>know if this one will go as long. Our guests

8
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.079
<v Speaker 2>may be a little too busy for that. They have

9
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:20.839
<v Speaker 2>real lives going on right now.

10
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>And just one of us, just one of us.

11
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.079
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean you got the Kawhi jersey on?

12
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 2>That's real right there.

13
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.679
<v Speaker 1>I might get injured half Chris, This is serious, Chris,

14
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>this is serious. This is Adam show, not our show.

15
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Not let's let him intro his show. This is serious.

16
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Get the two two going in just a second.

17
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:39.479
<v Speaker 1>I just want to intro you.

18
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Joining the show today are the guys from the longest

19
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:46.880
<v Speaker 2>running Clippers podcast, and they'll let you know it. It's

20
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:53.119
<v Speaker 2>Chris k Henry managing my expectations.

21
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 1>Clippers. We are such big fans of your show man

22
00:00:57.799 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>and of you as a person. Thanks for having us on,

23
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Adam like real talk, Like I listened to Clipper Talk

24
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.519
<v Speaker 1>on the way out of the building, like almost every game,

25
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>and the worst is the worst is this.

26
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Is why I don't like Kawhi Leonard postgame because he

27
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:13.439
<v Speaker 3>takes so long and.

28
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:15.439
<v Speaker 1>You're waiting and waiting and waiting.

29
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:17.680
<v Speaker 3>And then by the time he goes on, you get

30
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.359
<v Speaker 3>in the car to drive home, you turn on the show.

31
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 1>The show is like in its last bit, You're like, no,

32
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>he's wrapping it up. Yeah, curse you, curse you, claw,

33
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:28.799
<v Speaker 1>curse you. But he hasn't been that.

34
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 3>Bad these past few seasons, with like taking forty five

35
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:35.480
<v Speaker 3>minutes whatever to go to the postgame press conference.

36
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Whatever. His postgame workout routine was the first couple

37
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.439
<v Speaker 2>of years with the Clippers, seems different than it is now.

38
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:44.200
<v Speaker 2>But I aint and.

39
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.480
<v Speaker 1>None of them are working. Oh.

40
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.560
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna say his workout routine postgame smelled a

41
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:50.400
<v Speaker 3>lot like a skunk.

42
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Guys, it's too early in this show for this.

43
00:01:56.239 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>The whole locker room smelled like Auto's jacket, easy Simpson's reference.

44
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm cutting all of this out, Okay, I want to

45
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 2>start with this before we get to the Clippers, before

46
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:09.840
<v Speaker 2>we get to Kawhi, and I brought it up, was

47
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>my fault. Great, but when I mentioned you guys have

48
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 2>the longest running Clippers podcast, and I just told you

49
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.039
<v Speaker 2>this off air. I found an old tweet from twenty thirteen. Yeah,

50
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 2>I was trying to help promote you guys, because you're

51
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 2>interested in getting on the station with AM five seventy.

52
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 2>You're like, how can we get on? I'm like, you

53
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:28.879
<v Speaker 2>might have to be an employee here, But I tried

54
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 2>to show some glove to the podcast. So how long

55
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.280
<v Speaker 2>has it been going? Because that was twenty thirteen.

56
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>It was that we started in twenty twelve. This is

57
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 1>our thirteenth season.

58
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.759
<v Speaker 3>Hank and I started together being season ticket holders in

59
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 3>two thousand and two. We became Clipper Nation because of

60
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 3>the knuckleheads. It was hit to clip back in two

61
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:51.919
<v Speaker 3>thousand and one, you know, like the diplomats like Cameron

62
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:57.199
<v Speaker 3>and Will's Anna and those guys were wearing Clippers jerseys

63
00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:58.199
<v Speaker 3>in their music videos.

64
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.479
<v Speaker 1>It used to be cool to be a Clipper fan. Man.

65
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.639
<v Speaker 3>Now it's epic to be a Clipper fan because we

66
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:07.240
<v Speaker 3>got the new shiny toy that landed from outer space

67
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:11.080
<v Speaker 3>next to so far that thing is like, it looks

68
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.199
<v Speaker 3>like the borg may have battled our new.

69
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Dome at some point on Star Trek And if you

70
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 1>don't if you don't know about Star Trek I'll translate

71
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>that nerd nerd nerd, nerd nerd.

72
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that was cling on for Nerd in the end.

73
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Why did you guys gravitate towards the Clippers, Henry, you

74
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 2>can start. You just counter culture guys like me. You

75
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.280
<v Speaker 2>can't like the most popular team in the city.

76
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I well, that's not exactly how it

77
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:41.759
<v Speaker 1>happened for me. We got season tickets. Oh, I'll go

78
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 1>back a step. I did want to move. I never

79
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 1>lived in a sports city. I'm a military kid. I'd

80
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.039
<v Speaker 1>never lived in a sports city. I was raised a

81
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys fan, but never lived in a city that had

82
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.039
<v Speaker 1>a team. And yeah, when I got here, I think

83
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>that I wanted to go to a game, and a

84
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.439
<v Speaker 1>bunch of obnoxious Rockets fans were like, we got an

85
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>extra ticket for the Clippers, you want to watch them

86
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 1>get destroyed by our Rockets, and and I just couldn't

87
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>stand their arrogance. And so I rooted for the Clippers,

88
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.599
<v Speaker 1>and the Clippers won. Hey, and then the next year,

89
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>and by this time Chris and I had become immediate

90
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 1>best friends. Like we met at an audition for a

91
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Shakespeare play. We were in the show together. Yeah, we

92
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 1>met and so I went to a tire store in

93
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood where if you bought as many tires as you bought,

94
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you got a Clippers ticket in Yeah, and so Chris

95
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 1>and I went and brought our dates with us, uh,

96
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:36.879
<v Speaker 1>and the dates didn't work out, but we've been in

97
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:39.759
<v Speaker 1>a lifelong relationship ever since, really with the Clippers. With

98
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:41.319
<v Speaker 1>the Clippers, that's what I met.

99
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Did you get four new tires for each date as well?

100
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Like I thought, that's what we brought them to the

101
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 2>tires shop, so many spare tires.

102
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 1>They drove vespas, so they got two new tires each.

103
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.399
<v Speaker 1>But then but then the next year, maybe the very

104
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:02.879
<v Speaker 1>next year, I heard on the radio, Uh, it's the

105
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.120
<v Speaker 1>cheapest ticket in the NBA and you could get by

106
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>one get one free Clippers season tickets. We were in

107
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 1>in the two hundred sections for like six hundred dollars

108
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 1>apiece for the season. That's crazy, And I think I

109
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>think it finally escalated the nine hundred each because it

110
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 1>was by one get one free. And then that that's

111
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:27.360
<v Speaker 1>when that went away. What year two two was our

112
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>first year of that. It was when they.

113
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:36.279
<v Speaker 3>Trade traded Clan Yeah, foolishly. Miller's worst season in his career,

114
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:36.800
<v Speaker 3>and he'll.

115
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Tell you that that's right. Was our first season, the

116
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:45.160
<v Speaker 1>OLAA Candy season Candies last year, and so we we

117
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>we would we were in the seat, we were in.

118
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.199
<v Speaker 1>That's we were in the stands as people were booing him,

119
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.600
<v Speaker 1>screaming please, he needs your support now more than ever.

120
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.519
<v Speaker 1>We were always we were always the positive guys.

121
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.519
<v Speaker 3>Those were still actors, and we're so used to constant

122
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.079
<v Speaker 3>rejection and continuing to go. We also like, we also

123
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:09.079
<v Speaker 3>love to like things, and we like absolutely.

124
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Is it ever hard and difficult to be the self

125
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:14.839
<v Speaker 2>proclaimed homers of Clipper Nation with this team, because you

126
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.000
<v Speaker 2>guys admit to it all the time. I heard eighty

127
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:18.959
<v Speaker 2>two and oh is what they're going this season on

128
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:19.480
<v Speaker 2>your most.

129
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm more pessimistic. I think they're gonna be eighty one

130
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:27.439
<v Speaker 1>and one. Oh stop fair about you didn't even think

131
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:29.519
<v Speaker 1>they were gonna get sixty wins, I want to say

132
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.600
<v Speaker 1>in our scheduled Daycat, No, we did. I'm not sure

133
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>they'll get fifty, but we're we'll get to that, are

134
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.759
<v Speaker 1>you devil? I'm positive I'm still gonna have a great

135
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.959
<v Speaker 1>time though, Oh how did uh you know what? Adam?

136
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:44.959
<v Speaker 1>It's it isn't. Oh, it was far easier when we

137
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>went twelve seasons or whatever insane number it was without

138
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:53.879
<v Speaker 1>ever hitting five hundred basketball to just have fun. And

139
00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.759
<v Speaker 1>then when we got Blake Griffin, which to me was

140
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.399
<v Speaker 1>the turning point of the team becoming relevant and players

141
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:04.839
<v Speaker 1>wanting to come in play with us, expectations started to rise.

142
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.759
<v Speaker 1>And it just as you know, the history of the

143
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Warriors getting good at the same time, just behind us

144
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:14.199
<v Speaker 1>getting good, and injuries really stopping what was our first

145
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.639
<v Speaker 1>great shot at a championship run was disappointing, but also

146
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:21.680
<v Speaker 1>we'd never been there before. The Kawhi Leonard Paul George

147
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:26.680
<v Speaker 1>two to one three era coming together didn't ever have

148
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.360
<v Speaker 1>for me the same feeling of, oh my gosh, here

149
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>we go. But it was a harder punch in the

150
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>stomach when injury also stopped that. And I don't believe

151
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 1>in Clipper curses and all that kind of stuff, but

152
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>those moments of making it all the way through the

153
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>season and then getting to the postseason and not having

154
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>full strength and still almost making it through those definitely

155
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:50.879
<v Speaker 1>were hard to stay positive. I still had a lot

156
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.040
<v Speaker 1>of fun. I still believe in the Clippers I'll tell

157
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 1>you something.

158
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.759
<v Speaker 3>The first ten seasons we were there, we've been going

159
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.279
<v Speaker 3>to basically every home game for the past twenty two years.

160
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.560
<v Speaker 3>The first ten seasons was one winning season I believe

161
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:03.240
<v Speaker 3>it was in two thousand and six, and that was

162
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.959
<v Speaker 3>radical with Sam Cassell cap mobiley so great.

163
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:09.680
<v Speaker 2>They would have beaten the Lakers in the second round

164
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:10.680
<v Speaker 2>the l word Sorry.

165
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.560
<v Speaker 1>I forgot that right. And that's the season we laid

166
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>up to try to get a better favorable postseason, wasn't it.

167
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:21.720
<v Speaker 3>We beat the juicy moist Nugs, We beat the moistest ugs.

168
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.959
<v Speaker 1>We smoked those those nugs in the first round.

169
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:29.480
<v Speaker 3>And and then and then you know, la la la

170
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:33.000
<v Speaker 3>the Hallway Series, which by the way, can never happen.

171
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:36.320
<v Speaker 1>No more Hallway Series. God well, god, I.

172
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Say the Hallway Series was won by the Clippers. Is

173
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:41.320
<v Speaker 2>they won more of those battles at Staples Center now

174
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Crypto dot Com Arena and they head to head matchups

175
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.039
<v Speaker 2>from what season on? Wow, we have the winning record

176
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.879
<v Speaker 2>against the Lakers in that building in the Hallway Series,

177
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:52.440
<v Speaker 2>the all time winning record by two games.

178
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I think. I mean, I knew we owned.

179
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.720
<v Speaker 3>Him for like ten plus years, but they were the

180
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:01.399
<v Speaker 3>Clippers started behind, like they we were down twenty five

181
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:03.320
<v Speaker 3>games or something by a lot.

182
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:05.919
<v Speaker 2>But I think it's something to the effect of, I

183
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.519
<v Speaker 2>don't know, twenty seven of the last thirty five games

184
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:10.159
<v Speaker 2>they've won against the Lakers.

185
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:13.200
<v Speaker 3>So and then you know this better than I believe

186
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.120
<v Speaker 3>this is we've had twelve or thirteen winning regular seasons

187
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:18.720
<v Speaker 3>in a row.

188
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:20.679
<v Speaker 1>I believe that's like, what is it twelve or thirteen,

189
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:21.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

190
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:24.960
<v Speaker 2>At thirteen, which is the current longest streak in the NBA.

191
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.639
<v Speaker 2>The Spurs had it, of course forever. Yeah, then when

192
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:29.879
<v Speaker 2>they finally missed the playoffs a few years back, the

193
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:32.519
<v Speaker 2>Clippers became the longest run team with a winning record.

194
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Now, I'm glad we got out of Crypto when we

195
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:38.159
<v Speaker 1>did then while we were ahead, because Lebron is just

196
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.480
<v Speaker 1>getting younger. You told me, what do I feel like

197
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:42.840
<v Speaker 1>being the Clipper Homer?

198
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:45.360
<v Speaker 3>I gotta be honest, Like, I think it's pretty radical,

199
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.759
<v Speaker 3>Adam that, like, when the Clippers win it all, and

200
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:50.600
<v Speaker 3>it could be in a year, it could be in

201
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.279
<v Speaker 3>ten years, it could be in twenty five years, there

202
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:55.639
<v Speaker 3>will be hundreds of people that think of the three

203
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.120
<v Speaker 3>of us, you know, like and You're not as big

204
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:00.679
<v Speaker 3>of a homer as us Adam, But I do love

205
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:05.480
<v Speaker 3>the fact that you're this new school journalist, clipper reporter,

206
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:08.519
<v Speaker 3>Clipper commentator, what have you that is not a hater.

207
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:12.039
<v Speaker 3>And so same with Farabad, same with Tomayr, same with

208
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:15.440
<v Speaker 3>Joey Lynn. Like I love all these newer guys that

209
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.039
<v Speaker 3>don't hate on the Clippers, because the old school guys

210
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.480
<v Speaker 3>when I started the Dan Wykey who I love, the Brad.

211
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Turner, who I love, they like hated the Clips.

212
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Like Dan Wykey asked me after a playoff game

213
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:31.559
<v Speaker 3>during Diamond Don the fiasco, when like, I don't know,

214
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.440
<v Speaker 3>it was like we beat the Warriors in seven, but

215
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:35.879
<v Speaker 3>it was some home game that we lost. And he

216
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:37.120
<v Speaker 3>looked at me and he goes, how do you even

217
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:38.080
<v Speaker 3>like these guys?

218
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:41.759
<v Speaker 1>How do you like these guys? Our team are guys?

219
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:44.759
<v Speaker 1>There are guys are guys. The take I hate the

220
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:48.480
<v Speaker 1>most to that end is when something bad does happen

221
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.639
<v Speaker 1>to the Clippers or they get a lost and people say, see, yeah, it's.

222
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Like, come on, basketball teams twenty nine out of thirty

223
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:58.360
<v Speaker 3>teams don't win it all every year.

224
00:10:58.320 --> 00:10:58.399
<v Speaker 2>Like.

225
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Playing winning basketball, but just the injury bug.

226
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:04.960
<v Speaker 2>What I like to say about Clippers fans is, you

227
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.759
<v Speaker 2>know how the best fans in sports because they're still

228
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.960
<v Speaker 2>here and they still exist after everything they have been through, Well,

229
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:11.919
<v Speaker 2>it is insane.

230
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:15.120
<v Speaker 1>That was always my pushback. There was a I love

231
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.759
<v Speaker 1>my favorite Clipper of all time has been and probably

232
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.000
<v Speaker 1>will continue for a long time to be Blake Griffin.

233
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:23.639
<v Speaker 1>And there was one game in the postseason like where

234
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:25.919
<v Speaker 1>he'd gotten interviewed and then he got on a microphone

235
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.840
<v Speaker 1>and was like, Hey, we just need you guy, We

236
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.240
<v Speaker 1>need these guys. You all to be louder. You're not louder,

237
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>And it's like, well, you would be fair to be fair.

238
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Clippers fans have twenty plus years, some of them of

239
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:41.879
<v Speaker 1>watching this team have leads and then collapse. And that

240
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:45.399
<v Speaker 1>wasn't true of the Lob City era. But there there

241
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:49.720
<v Speaker 1>is a in the real old heads. Wow, in the

242
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:53.559
<v Speaker 1>real one lead for the real old heads. You like,

243
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.200
<v Speaker 1>you go to some of these stadiums and watch basketball

244
00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:57.879
<v Speaker 1>games and your team is winning and then they go

245
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:00.200
<v Speaker 1>down ten and they're like that's all right, and the

246
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.039
<v Speaker 1>Clippers they go down ten and the people have been

247
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:04.519
<v Speaker 1>watching for a long time ago, oh nuts.

248
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:08.000
<v Speaker 2>But we also were waiting for the other shoe to

249
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:08.759
<v Speaker 2>drop all the time.

250
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:11.279
<v Speaker 1>But we also turned a game because we wouldn't allow

251
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:12.679
<v Speaker 1>that to happen. Chris, what was the game where we

252
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.320
<v Speaker 1>were behind the Clippers bench and I was screaming where

253
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:17.559
<v Speaker 1>I made everyone put their shirts? It was Game seven

254
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:20.559
<v Speaker 1>versus the Spurs with Chris Paul doing the layup over

255
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:23.279
<v Speaker 1>Tim Duncan's fingertips, and we were down, and Chris and

256
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I moved down to about ten rows behind the bench.

257
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I started yelling at people to put their free T

258
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:32.000
<v Speaker 1>shirts on. First, you kept and you kept yelling we

259
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:36.639
<v Speaker 1>will win, we will win to win, and then other

260
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:40.159
<v Speaker 1>people started screaming it. I think because they were terrified,

261
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:43.720
<v Speaker 1>and also we're such egomaniacs that we think that that

262
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:44.679
<v Speaker 1>made a difference.

263
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:45.159
<v Speaker 2>It did.

264
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.080
<v Speaker 1>When the whole shadium starts screaming we are going to win,

265
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.120
<v Speaker 1>and then suddenly everyone starts hitting their shots. You think

266
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:54.559
<v Speaker 1>that's unrelated, Well, sure, I guess not. Moments that's a

267
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>funny thing.

268
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.399
<v Speaker 2>What was on those T shirts was that all hands

269
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:00.159
<v Speaker 2>in it takes everyone give no cord or.

270
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.440
<v Speaker 1>What was the motto that year? I think it was

271
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:07.440
<v Speaker 1>just yr Yeah. The worst one is playoffs Our way.

272
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I was like, so squeak out in round

273
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:13.519
<v Speaker 1>one or two, like, let's not do playoffs our way,

274
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:17.279
<v Speaker 1>a new way, Let's do a new way. Street lights

275
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:18.279
<v Speaker 1>not spotlights.

276
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:24.679
<v Speaker 2>Look, there were some understandably regrettable slogans along the way,

277
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:25.360
<v Speaker 2>But all right.

278
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:28.080
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, Adam, I don't mean to interrupt here, but

279

00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:41.720
<v Speaker 3>your Clipper Talk knowledge, your Chris Kwild.

304
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:44.320
<v Speaker 2>So it's not related to the Clippers. It's related to

305
00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:45.519
<v Speaker 2>you personally in your stomach.

306
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:49.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, no spoilers, bro, no spoilers.

307
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Can I call a friend, my god, Henry pick up

308
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:52.559
<v Speaker 2>the phone.

309
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I can guess. I think you got Los Angeles

310
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:00.919
<v Speaker 1>fish and clippers. So fish and clips? Yeah, fishing clips.

311
00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:03.360
<v Speaker 2>You got dip?

312
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:07.320
<v Speaker 1>You got some dip. That has to be it right,

313
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:08.679
<v Speaker 1>So hold on a second.

314
00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:12.039
<v Speaker 3>They're probably so there probably is some dip in here.

315
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.000
<v Speaker 3>There is, and it's going to be a dead giveaway.

316
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:22.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh you got a free Chick fil A. Okay, I

317
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:25.279
<v Speaker 1>got ship fil A. What I'm gonna go to Long

318
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:29.720
<v Speaker 1>John Silvers and get fishing clips? You would if they

319
00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:32.320
<v Speaker 1>had a clippers name, fish and chips.

320
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:34.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh dude, if Mom John Silvers was this was the

321
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:36.600
<v Speaker 3>sponsor exclusively.

322
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I get type two diabetes. I'd be one hundred pounds

323
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:40.799
<v Speaker 1>heavier if it still existed.

324
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:45.679
<v Speaker 2>But okay, uh yeah, I missed that one fourth quarter.

325
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:47.879
<v Speaker 2>Should have known it was Clippers relay. You missed two

326
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:52.080
<v Speaker 2>as the road team, everybody gets Chick fil a sandwich here.

327
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:53.840
<v Speaker 3>I think one of my highlights of the last season

328
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.159
<v Speaker 3>was Boban intentionally missing both free throws in the in

329
00:15:57.240 --> 00:16:01.559
<v Speaker 3>the Clipper fan appreciation game and gave the entire building

330
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:02.200
<v Speaker 3>free chicken.

331
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:07.679
<v Speaker 1>That was classic Bobon. I love that. I would love

332
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:10.480
<v Speaker 1>to circle back and answer your question, which is I think,

333
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.639
<v Speaker 1>which is what's it like being the positive home Clipper homer?

334
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:19.840
<v Speaker 1>And I think that reality can be a bummer, and

335
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.840
<v Speaker 1>it's not very difficult to look at and find the

336
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:25.000
<v Speaker 1>things that are wrong when a team loses or when

337
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:27.279
<v Speaker 1>things fall apart and stuff like that. And I think

338
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:29.320
<v Speaker 1>that the people who there aren't a lot of fair

339
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:32.440
<v Speaker 1>weather Clippers fans in my life. They're an old school

340
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:35.120
<v Speaker 1>they've been around, all in, and they're all in, and

341
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:37.320
<v Speaker 1>we're excited to be a voice for them because we

342
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.519
<v Speaker 1>get a lot of messages from people who're like, hey man, thanks,

343
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:42.720
<v Speaker 1>the last thing we want is to like hear how

344
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.039
<v Speaker 1>bad it is when it's when we lose a game,

345
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.600
<v Speaker 1>especially because a lot of times we're having these terrible conversations,

346
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:50.440
<v Speaker 1>but the Clippers when they're still winning.

347
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:53.000
<v Speaker 3>There was a time when we would only do shows

348
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:58.440
<v Speaker 3>after playoff wins and not after playoff losses, like hoping.

349
00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:01.240
<v Speaker 1>That would like it didn't help into a championship, and

350
00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:02.879
<v Speaker 1>it did not help you. No, it did not help.

351
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:05.759
<v Speaker 1>We eventually had to clip cast after as people were like,

352
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:06.960
<v Speaker 1>how come you quit doing the show.

353
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I just remember listening to your playoff preview against Dallas

354
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:16.359
<v Speaker 2>and Chris calling my ass out forgiven the Mavericks credit

355
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:20.359
<v Speaker 2>for bringing in Gafford and who else did they get? PJ? Washington?

356
00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:25.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, does Adam osin love these guys? And you were

357
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:29.559
<v Speaker 3>right way the Western Conference champions So you call right, Well, I.

358
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Don't think I understood exactly where you were coming from

359
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:35.200
<v Speaker 2>because when you said clips and four in that series,

360
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:38.720
<v Speaker 2>it's because it's part of the show. It's part of

361
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.640
<v Speaker 2>your character on the show. And I was like, is

362
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:43.640
<v Speaker 2>this guy crazy here? What's going on with.

363
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:50.480
<v Speaker 3>My wildest take that like literally pissed people off, like

364
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:53.240
<v Speaker 3>like Lucas Hans still to this day won't talk to me.

365
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:56.319
<v Speaker 3>I was like, Terrence Man greater than s g A,

366
00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.880
<v Speaker 3>and it literally like it broke people's brain.

367
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:00.759
<v Speaker 1>You couldn't handle it.

368
00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:05.319
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, because Terrence Man Game six, round two,

369
00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:08.799
<v Speaker 3>like SGA didn't do that for us, Like, yes, SGA

370
00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:10.440
<v Speaker 3>is MVP caliber.

371
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:13.519
<v Speaker 2>Did you meant greater Clipper?

372
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Of course, of course I meant greater Clipper. But also

373
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:21.880
<v Speaker 1>it's on brand SG. It's on brand for me to

374
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:22.440
<v Speaker 1>do that.

375
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:25.000
<v Speaker 3>You know what I'm saying to say something completely outlandish

376
00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:29.440
<v Speaker 3>and not based in any sort of sport fact. It's

377
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:33.319
<v Speaker 3>all sport fan fiction coming from my mouth to the

378
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.559
<v Speaker 3>Clipper Nation's ears. But someday it will be true.

379
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:38.759
<v Speaker 1>And maybe we won't go eighty two and Ozero, but

380
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:41.079
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna win that damn chip one year. We're gonna

381
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:43.400
<v Speaker 1>win that chip, and they're gonna think about us when

382
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:45.039
<v Speaker 1>they win it. We'll be at that parade, all three

383
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:46.839
<v Speaker 1>of us. Is wild.

384
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:50.359
<v Speaker 2>Your real last name or a stage name is my.

385
00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:54.279
<v Speaker 3>True like my birth my government name is Ralph Lawler,

386
00:18:54.400 --> 00:18:55.519
<v Speaker 3>but that was already taken.

387
00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:59.279
<v Speaker 1>Then go oh me, oh my Adam.

388
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.880
<v Speaker 2>I will be by the way visiting with Ralph Lawler

389
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:08.039
<v Speaker 2>and doing an interview up in Oregon in Bend this weekend,

390
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:12.279
<v Speaker 2>So it might take a love se Joe Sweet Joe

391
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:15.279
<v Speaker 2>will be there. I got a cameraman. It's gonna look good,

392
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.279
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna look professional. I probably won't be, but Ralph

393
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:20.519
<v Speaker 2>Lawler will be. I just revisited his book again and

394
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.920
<v Speaker 2>read it again this past weekend, so I'm prepared. But

395
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:25.359
<v Speaker 2>if you guys have questions with the comments section, put

396
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:27.079
<v Speaker 2>him in, or if you guys have anything you want

397
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:29.119
<v Speaker 2>to know from Ralph Lawler, what he's been doing in

398
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:31.839
<v Speaker 2>retirement or whatnot. I'm sure you got some creative fun

399
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:32.960
<v Speaker 2>stuff you'd like to ask him.

400
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

401
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:36.759
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, Like, first of all, I know he doesn't really

402
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.079
<v Speaker 3>I know he doesn't really care. But what I mean,

403
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.480
<v Speaker 3>if he could pick, would he rather have a statue

404
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:50.119
<v Speaker 3>at the new stadium, okay? Or would he rather they

405
00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:55.000
<v Speaker 3>retire his number and the number be one hundred for

406
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:57.920
<v Speaker 3>Lawler's So that asks my question for you to ask

407
00:19:58.319 --> 00:19:59.240
<v Speaker 3>Ralph when you see him.

408
00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if had to pick, because it's also possible both, and.

409
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:06.440
<v Speaker 2>It's also possible neither be too far, too modest to

410
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:09.680
<v Speaker 2>want to answer. But it is a good question that

411
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:12.519
<v Speaker 2>would be the jersey number for sure, they do so.

412
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:15.839
<v Speaker 3>Not like one hundred, not a microphone, like one hundred

413
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:17.319
<v Speaker 3>Lawler in the rafters?

414
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:21.319
<v Speaker 1>What if the one is a microphone? Okay, there you go,

415
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:24.920
<v Speaker 1>there you go. I'll take it with. Who do you think.

416
00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:28.119
<v Speaker 3>Should be the first retired jersey hanging from the rafters

417
00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:30.279
<v Speaker 3>and win Blake next year?

418
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, Hard agree? I agree.

419
00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:38.599
<v Speaker 2>As Henry said earlier, that was the turning point. Brian

420
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:40.519
<v Speaker 2>Seeman says it all the time, but he helped put

421
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:42.440
<v Speaker 2>the Clippers on the map because all of a sudden,

422
00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:45.000
<v Speaker 2>every night they were on Sports Center, whether or not

423
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:47.799
<v Speaker 2>they were winning his initial rookie year after hurting his

424
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:51.880
<v Speaker 2>knee the first year in preseason, they were exciting, They

425
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:54.799
<v Speaker 2>were fun to watch, and Lob City was just getting started.

426
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Then you bring in CP three and uh, the air

427
00:20:57.640 --> 00:20:58.319
<v Speaker 2>was truly born.

428
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:02.359
<v Speaker 1>But I mean also Will Ferrell smart enough in the

429
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:05.200
<v Speaker 1>very early days of Funnier Die to bring Blake Griffin

430
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:08.599
<v Speaker 1>into do sketches. No one had really come straight out

431
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.480
<v Speaker 1>of straight into the NBA or any sport immediately looking

432
00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:14.359
<v Speaker 1>to tackle the entertainment industry like Blake did.

433
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:17.240
<v Speaker 2>He was in every key of commercial going on he

434
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:19.319
<v Speaker 2>was everywhere. He jumped over the car with the pass

435
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:20.839
<v Speaker 2>from Baron Davis in the All Star Game, and.

436
00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:22.839
<v Speaker 1>Then he punched a guy.

437
00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:26.720
<v Speaker 2>But they were like best friends too.

438
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:29.839
<v Speaker 1>Damn Andre was his best friend.

439
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.799
<v Speaker 2>Well it was of the equipment manager.

440
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that guy was a third.

441
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Wheel man, Okay, and maybe he was third wheeling a

442
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:37.799
<v Speaker 2>little bit.

443
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:39.440
<v Speaker 1>I just follow up question.

444
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes you're better friends for it, That's all I'm saying.

445
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.359
<v Speaker 3>Do you think they should retire Deandre's number. He's got

446
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.319
<v Speaker 3>a lot of records, a lot of Clipper records.

447
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree with him. I think they should blake

448
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:54.400
<v Speaker 1>and deandret I think that, go ahead, go ahead.

449
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:57.599
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say L word. Fans do not like

450
00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:01.519
<v Speaker 2>hearing stuff like this. Other fan bases wouldn't understand it.

451
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:04.440
<v Speaker 2>But if you take from where the Clippers were with

452
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:06.720
<v Speaker 2>all that losing for so long, and we just talked

453
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:10.839
<v Speaker 2>about thirteen straight winning seasons, this is progress. Ten years

454
00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:13.880
<v Speaker 2>with Steve Baumer, ten years with a great owner, after

455
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:16.839
<v Speaker 2>having an owner who was actively working against them for

456
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:18.240
<v Speaker 2>forty years, almost.

457
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:21.599
<v Speaker 1>About and against people in general, working against the people

458
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:22.519
<v Speaker 1>of Los Angeles.

459
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.680
<v Speaker 2>If ownership is the greatest advantage in sports, the Clippers

460
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:29.759
<v Speaker 2>were at a disadvantage for almost forty seasons.

461
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Did you guys watch Clipped, the soapcom with Laurence Fishburne

462
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:36.200
<v Speaker 3>with as dude?

463
00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:38.920
<v Speaker 1>The last scene was the best scene in the whole series.

464
00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to tell you I'll go back and watch it,

465
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:43.000
<v Speaker 1>but I just just fast forward to the very end.

466
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:45.119
<v Speaker 1>Just trust me. The last scene is the did you

467
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:47.440
<v Speaker 1>watch it? Adham? Did you finish it? I did.

468
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:50.119
<v Speaker 2>I felt like it improved after it went along, once

469
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:52.440
<v Speaker 2>it got into the meat of the issue. By episode three,

470
00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:56.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember the very last scene, but I did

471
00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:57.960
<v Speaker 2>feel like it'sressed.

472
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:02.759
<v Speaker 3>So it's it's Doc River played by Morpheus from the Matrix,

473
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.680
<v Speaker 3>and I believe it was Elgin Baylor played by like

474
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.079
<v Speaker 3>some minister guy from Amen. If you ever watched the

475
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:14.559
<v Speaker 3>sitcom Amen with Sherman Helmsley, I'm pretty sure the minister.

476
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Was Elgin Baylor. Anyway.

477
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:19.319
<v Speaker 3>So it's Elgin Baylor and Doc Rivers in the Clippers

478
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:22.799
<v Speaker 3>training facility or in Staple Center and there and Elgin

479
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:25.960
<v Speaker 3>is shooting free throws and Doc Rivers and him have

480
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:29.400
<v Speaker 3>this little talk about like basically recapping what we just saw,

481
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:31.720
<v Speaker 3>and Shelley Sterling is kind of the bad guy.

482
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:37.880
<v Speaker 1>So Elgin is shooting free throws and he goes and

483
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:39.759
<v Speaker 1>and Doc was like, you're on a roll or something

484
00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:41.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, and he goes, no, wait. He's like, wait,

485
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:45.000
<v Speaker 1>it's got a sound, right, and he shoots it and

486
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.000
<v Speaker 1>it goes black and you just hear the swish. I'm

487
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:51.799
<v Speaker 1>getting goosebumps talking about it. I had goosebumps all up

488
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:52.720
<v Speaker 1>and down my body. Now.

489
00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:55.400
<v Speaker 3>Granted I watched every episode naked in a in a

490
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:58.160
<v Speaker 3>bathtup filled with ice, but other than that, I thought.

491
00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:01.039
<v Speaker 2>You were gonna say uh with uh.

492
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:05.599
<v Speaker 1>With with v Stepiano. Okay, can I get back on.

493
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:07.680
<v Speaker 2>The spoilers are over?

494
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:12.039
<v Speaker 1>I think, oh my god, you didn't listen. I don't

495
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:13.839
<v Speaker 1>want to spoiler. You told me to watch it.

496
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:15.920
<v Speaker 2>I thought I was gonna see one of you guys

497
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:19.240
<v Speaker 2>in it. Honestly, I was waiting for an appearance Clipper.

498
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:21.079
<v Speaker 1>Daryl Clipper, I mean Clipper Darrel wasn't in it, but

499
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.680
<v Speaker 1>there was an actor portraying Clipper Darrel. If that was cool,

500
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:26.079
<v Speaker 1>I would have wanted to I would have wanted to

501
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.400
<v Speaker 1>have played Brad j No one gets that a long

502
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:34.599
<v Speaker 1>time in games. He was not long time three seasons,

503
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:38.920
<v Speaker 1>like Tracy was way longer than he called. He called

504
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:39.759
<v Speaker 1>the X Games.

505
00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:41.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh, by the way, shout out to DJ Dents and

506
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:46.119
<v Speaker 3>Hannah who are so good they've been. And then also,

507
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:48.640
<v Speaker 3>uh r, I p rest in peace to the fallen

508
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.920
<v Speaker 3>hero of Fat Voice Move, who was the one was

509
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:55.799
<v Speaker 3>such a wonderful hype man when like DJ Dents knew

510
00:24:55.839 --> 00:25:00.839
<v Speaker 3>exactly how to utilize fat Voice Move like that everything

511
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:04.200
<v Speaker 3>about that that was great and and and again hats

512
00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:05.359
<v Speaker 3>off to Hannah and Dents.

513
00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:07.759
<v Speaker 1>They run such a great show. People.

514
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:10.839
<v Speaker 3>People will go to Clippers games and and I don't know,

515
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:14.359
<v Speaker 3>I just talked to strangers, man, so like people will

516
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:16.519
<v Speaker 3>talk to me. This is my first Clipper game ever.

517
00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:18.440
<v Speaker 3>I've been to a ton of stupid L word games.

518
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:19.599
<v Speaker 3>This is way more fun.

519
00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:21.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, yeah, I know. Because we don't hate ourselves.

520
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:24.599
<v Speaker 1>We don't have the lights out where you can't see

521
00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:27.200
<v Speaker 1>your neighbor. We don't show up late, We're not just

522
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:29.839
<v Speaker 1>staring at our phones the whole time, we don't leave

523
00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:33.480
<v Speaker 1>early like these that those fans are so spoiled. I

524
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:35.680
<v Speaker 1>think they've been in half the NBA finals.

525
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:39.839
<v Speaker 2>Like literally, they're entitled because of their titles exactly.

526
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:42.319
<v Speaker 1>But they've lost more than they've won when they got there,

527
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:43.920
<v Speaker 1>which I absolutely love there.

528
00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I think they're under the Celtics and the sixth thanks

529
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:51.240
<v Speaker 2>to the Celtics, who you know, we kind of we

530
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:53.039
<v Speaker 2>kind of see eye to eye with them once in

531
00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:54.759
<v Speaker 2>a while. When it comes to the L word, why

532
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:56.640
<v Speaker 2>do you, guys? I want to ask you just lay

533
00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:58.519
<v Speaker 2>out all the reasons of why you hate the L

534
00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:01.640
<v Speaker 2>words so much, and I can jump into being from Sacramento.

535
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I like Magic Johnson as a kid. He was my

536
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:06.640
<v Speaker 2>favorite player ever. And I like the eighties Lakers and

537
00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:07.599
<v Speaker 2>Showtime Lakers.

538
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I like the Colors.

539
00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:11.559
<v Speaker 2>I was so young that was enough to appeal to me.

540
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:14.640
<v Speaker 2>But the Kobe Shaq era completely turned me off. And

541
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:16.599
<v Speaker 2>then the series against the Kings in two thousand and

542
00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:19.480
<v Speaker 2>two where they got twenty twenty seven free throws in

543
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:22.119
<v Speaker 2>the fourth quarter of that game six. Whenever somebody says, oh,

544
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:24.559
<v Speaker 2>I hope we played the Lakers this year in the playoffs,

545
00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:26.279
<v Speaker 2>I go, guys, I don't know if you want that.

546
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:29.079
<v Speaker 2>I know how that a series like that can go.

547
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:31.759
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna have every advantage possible.

548
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:35.039
<v Speaker 3>Do you think it's because of their style of play

549
00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:38.119
<v Speaker 3>that they get to the free throw line so much

550
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:40.720
<v Speaker 3>more than everyone else, or do you think the league

551
00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:42.519
<v Speaker 3>that the tables waited.

552
00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:46.079
<v Speaker 2>All I know is I think they ended up taking

553
00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:49.480
<v Speaker 2>over the last two seasons something like three hundred to

554
00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:52.079
<v Speaker 2>four hundred more free throws on the next closest team

555
00:26:52.200 --> 00:26:56.519
<v Speaker 2>to them, while being last in drives per game. That

556
00:26:56.640 --> 00:27:00.319
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Wow, iow

557
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:01.799
<v Speaker 2>is far to rational.

558
00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:04.200
<v Speaker 1>The whole that's the whole argument. And I'll tell you

559
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:07.680
<v Speaker 1>another reason why Burbank Hank hates the L word. And

560
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:10.079
<v Speaker 1>by the way, he didn't used to. He used to

561
00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:11.759
<v Speaker 1>be a big L word fan.

562
00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:14.079
<v Speaker 3>He liked all LA teams when he moved to LA

563
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:16.799
<v Speaker 3>in the late nineties, and who can blame him. LA

564
00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:20.799
<v Speaker 3>Kings were great, the L word was great, The Coppers weren't.

565
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:23.640
<v Speaker 3>Dodgers were not great during that time, but whatever, they

566
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:27.240
<v Speaker 3>were fun. And I think that, by the way, is

567
00:27:27.319 --> 00:27:29.640
<v Speaker 3>the team that has the most love throughout the city

568
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:32.440
<v Speaker 3>is the Dodgers one hundred percent. Second is the l

569
00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:35.680
<v Speaker 3>It's a Dodgers town, Yeah, one hundred percent of Dodger Town.

570
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:38.799
<v Speaker 3>But burbankank one of the reasons that he's grown to

571
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:40.960
<v Speaker 3>hate the L word is because of their fans and

572
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:42.839
<v Speaker 3>the way they treated us at Staples Center.

573
00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:46.839
<v Speaker 1>And I'm doing something that Hank hates. I am wearing

574
00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:50.759
<v Speaker 1>a jersey with no undershirt. I hate it as if

575
00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:53.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm a player about to go into the you're a

576
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:56.839
<v Speaker 1>fan at a state, you're at the beach, or you're

577
00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:59.480
<v Speaker 1>a professional basketball player. You could wear a jersey with

578
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:02.200
<v Speaker 1>no teach shirt. I'm at the beach, if you're if

579
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:05.279
<v Speaker 1>you're at a stadium watching a game put on. I

580
00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:08.240
<v Speaker 1>would rather you wear your dress shirt from work with

581
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:10.400
<v Speaker 1>a jersey over it, which I prefer as a look

582
00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:15.640
<v Speaker 1>to a civilian wearing no undershirt beare shoulders and a

583
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:18.440
<v Speaker 1>night out in lawsuit. And you guys like, look at

584
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:20.799
<v Speaker 1>this Farmers stand. This is one of my great Farmers fans.

585
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:23.799
<v Speaker 1>Time wet suit tan line.

586
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:28.039
<v Speaker 2>I look, if there's a day to do, it is today, right, Henry.

587
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:32.240
<v Speaker 1>There's a day when I still not, I still don't

588
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:35.559
<v Speaker 1>like it. When when I when I so that the

589
00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:39.240
<v Speaker 1>after story. The story that happened prior was that before

590
00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:42.319
<v Speaker 1>we got the season tickets, I got here, wanted to

591
00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:44.640
<v Speaker 1>become a Clippers fan. They didn't really have a TV deal,

592
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:49.960
<v Speaker 1>so you couldn't really watch Clippers, not every game. And

593
00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:52.079
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, I was living with a Lakers fan,

594
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:56.119
<v Speaker 1>and we became Lakers fans, uh, And that was because

595
00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:59.000
<v Speaker 1>every game was on TV, and then we got the

596
00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:02.799
<v Speaker 1>season tickets. I was still watching both teams, cheering for

597
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:05.400
<v Speaker 1>both teams. And then what Chris just said, we when

598
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:08.799
<v Speaker 1>the Clippers were terrible, we would lose to the Lakers

599
00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:12.680
<v Speaker 1>by twenty something points at our home game, and Lakers

600
00:29:12.799 --> 00:29:17.559
<v Speaker 1>fans would cuss us out and call us homes legitimately,

601
00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:19.839
<v Speaker 1>call us homophobic slurs. Walking out of the game, We're like,

602
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:22.960
<v Speaker 1>we we we're we We're the worst and you're the best.

603
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:26.359
<v Speaker 1>Like it was such a punching down, so it was

604
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:29.119
<v Speaker 1>really hard to take and we that was you and

605
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:30.839
<v Speaker 1>I are perfect, gentleman.

606
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:34.400
<v Speaker 3>That's so nice, especially especially twenty years ago when Chris

607
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:36.759
<v Speaker 3>Wilde was in his twenties, so temperant.

608
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:40.480
<v Speaker 1>So we we would lose games by not at all

609
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:43.119
<v Speaker 1>as soon we wore games.

610
00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:46.079
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we would, we wear dress shirts from work and

611
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:47.720
<v Speaker 3>put a jersey over it.

612
00:29:49.680 --> 00:29:50.079
<v Speaker 1>I would.

613
00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:50.960
<v Speaker 2>We would win.

614
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:53.799
<v Speaker 1>We'd lose games by ten and turn around and heckle

615
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:56.599
<v Speaker 1>fans and say, oh, you're only beating us by ten. Yeah,

616
00:29:56.880 --> 00:29:59.880
<v Speaker 1>but that's like, that's why I loved the knuckleheads. They

617
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:01.960
<v Speaker 1>he would rejoice and lose games.

618
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:05.200
<v Speaker 3>They were celebrating because they couldn't believe they were nineteen

619
00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:07.720
<v Speaker 3>years old in the league, the youngest team in the NBA,

620
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:10.240
<v Speaker 3>having the time of their lives. Like, how do you

621
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:13.480
<v Speaker 3>not get swept away in all of that? And truth

622
00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:16.319
<v Speaker 3>be told, I am the son of a Cubs fan,

623
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:20.200
<v Speaker 3>long suffering Cubs fan. I saw what it meant to

624
00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:23.400
<v Speaker 3>this man to see his team win a championship in

625
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:27.119
<v Speaker 3>his lifetime, after going sixty plus years of his lifetime

626
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:31.359
<v Speaker 3>without a title. And he would say, Reverend doctor, and

627
00:30:31.480 --> 00:30:33.880
<v Speaker 3>he would say like, oh, you know Clippers this and that.

628
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:35.839
<v Speaker 1>I go, oh, shut up, old man, you just won

629
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:38.440
<v Speaker 1>one one hundred years ago. We haven't won one a

630
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:41.839
<v Speaker 1>hundred years ago. So like one hundred and whatever years later,

631
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:43.440
<v Speaker 1>they win another one and it meant the world to

632
00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:44.319
<v Speaker 1>him and meant the world to me.

633
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:46.279
<v Speaker 3>I remember they announced that at a Clipper game. I

634
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:48.720
<v Speaker 3>was at a Clipper game when the Cubby Bears beat

635
00:30:49.000 --> 00:30:53.039
<v Speaker 3>the Cleveland not Guardians, and it was an amazing moment.

636
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:56.720
<v Speaker 3>It was a radical moment, and everybody was rejoicing. So anyway,

637
00:30:57.480 --> 00:30:59.759
<v Speaker 3>a son of a Cubs fan, the Clippers just made

638
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:00.960
<v Speaker 3>all the sense in the world.

639
00:31:01.079 --> 00:31:03.759
<v Speaker 1>And again, when we win it all, it will mean

640
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:07.319
<v Speaker 1>so much more to us than the L word fans stupid,

641
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:11.000
<v Speaker 1>twentieth whatever, nineteenth whatever it is. A couple of them

642
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:13.519
<v Speaker 1>are in Minneapolis where they actually have lakes, like, get

643
00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:14.000
<v Speaker 1>out of here.

644
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:17.799
<v Speaker 2>I still hear these sarcastic remarks right now. I think

645
00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:20.279
<v Speaker 2>Snoop Dog had one on the podcasts recently.

646
00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Someone brought it over him and I was over it all.

647
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:26.640
<v Speaker 2>The Smoke podcasts with Matt Barnes, he brought up the

648
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.079
<v Speaker 2>wall situation and he made a crack about how are

649
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:32.000
<v Speaker 2>they going to be able to fill it with Clippers fans?

650
00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Don't you guys feel like a lot of people are

651
00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:39.119
<v Speaker 2>going to turn heads finally and realize, oh, this Clippers

652
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:41.519
<v Speaker 2>fan base is much bigger than we thought now that

653
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:42.200
<v Speaker 2>they have the end to it.

654
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:45.039
<v Speaker 3>Don't It's not shocking to me that popular rappers from

655
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:46.960
<v Speaker 3>the nineties are still living in the nineties.

656
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about the dust Rushes, Native Tongues.

657
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Bro Biggie was a huge underground Clippers fans.

658
00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:01.519
<v Speaker 1>People don't realize this that's right, Christopher Wallace man, he

659
00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:02.400
<v Speaker 1>works for the Clippers.

660
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I'm sure appreciate it is. This is the Clippers

661
00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:11.880
<v Speaker 2>fans time, though to you know, if people thought they

662
00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:14.480
<v Speaker 2>were hiding in the shadows or anything like that, or

663
00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:17.160
<v Speaker 2>in the woodwork and weren't coming out. I know they've

664
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:20.240
<v Speaker 2>had a successful run over the last decade plus, but

665
00:32:20.960 --> 00:32:23.240
<v Speaker 2>they have their own home and they have the fans

666
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:24.920
<v Speaker 2>to fill it now they do.

667
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:27.480
<v Speaker 1>This is not such a grassroots thing. No, they do,

668
00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:28.359
<v Speaker 1>They absolutely do.

669
00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:32.079
<v Speaker 3>I was sexing with Seamen and he said he was

670
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:34.119
<v Speaker 3>at some dry run maybe you were there at him

671
00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:38.039
<v Speaker 3>where like Balmer invited like six thousand fans or something,

672
00:32:38.440 --> 00:32:41.440
<v Speaker 3>and it wasn't capacity, but there was six thousand loud

673
00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:42.559
<v Speaker 3>fans at that wall.

674
00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:45.559
<v Speaker 1>And he was like, Chris, it was unbelievable. It'll blow

675
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:49.079
<v Speaker 1>your mind, it'll blow your ear drums. The advantage is real,

676
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:53.079
<v Speaker 1>the advantage that we're about to have starting October such

677
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:56.559
<v Speaker 1>and such versus the hated Phoenix Suns. The advantage is

678
00:32:56.599 --> 00:33:00.000
<v Speaker 1>real and I can't wait, man, like especially thirteen winning seasons,

679
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:05.319
<v Speaker 1>thirteen winning seasons bringing that with you, so keep that cooking,

680
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:07.759
<v Speaker 1>like we may not have a losing season in that

681
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:11.559
<v Speaker 1>building in the next decade, like why not go another thirteen?

682
00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:16.319
<v Speaker 1>Like let's see, man, let's see what happened. And we've never, ever, never, nerver,

683
00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:21.039
<v Speaker 1>ever had any kind of a home court advantage. We've

684
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:21.640
<v Speaker 1>never had that.

685
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.359
<v Speaker 3>No, I mean in the postseason we did, man, our

686
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:26.680
<v Speaker 3>fans got good at the end of twenty one was

687
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:29.960
<v Speaker 3>real yea, yeah, we were down twenty plus and our

688
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:32.519
<v Speaker 3>fans willed us back into that game. Now, yes, I

689
00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:35.119
<v Speaker 3>don't disagree with that, but there also was pretty much

690
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:37.960
<v Speaker 3>you could you could. You wouldn't be surprised if any

691
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:40.000
<v Speaker 3>game of the season suddenly you were out numbered by

692
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:42.680
<v Speaker 3>loud fans. There's never been a season where you'd be

693
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:45.079
<v Speaker 3>surprised if there was a contingent that was louder than you.

694
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it was the usual suspects, though.

695
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:50.400
<v Speaker 3>It was like Boston and obviously a Word and Warriors

696
00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:53.160
<v Speaker 3>and Knicks fans and Labs.

697
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:55.960
<v Speaker 1>And then now but only briefly, the Suns.

698
00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:59.599
<v Speaker 2>Who are your five most hated teams? I know the

699
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:01.119
<v Speaker 2>Sun might be number two.

700
00:34:01.400 --> 00:34:08.639
<v Speaker 3>So definitely l Word, Warriors, Sons like yeah, but I'm

701
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:11.360
<v Speaker 3>I would flip it just one who's more relevant?

702
00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:11.519
<v Speaker 2>You know?

703
00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:13.840
<v Speaker 3>What I mean, like, it's always gonna be l word

704
00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:17.360
<v Speaker 3>number one for me, and then depending on who's more relevant,

705
00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:18.440
<v Speaker 3>it's Warriors or Sons.

706
00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:21.400
<v Speaker 1>If I had sons for me, who would you choose?

707
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:23.320
<v Speaker 1>If you had to choose, I would choose I would

708
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:26.880
<v Speaker 1>choose Dubs and then Sons. But I would choose Sons

709
00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:30.719
<v Speaker 1>because they ain't number one nothing. They never won, man,

710
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:34.480
<v Speaker 1>they never won. With the Warriors. It's like, okay, you

711
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:37.519
<v Speaker 1>won it, you won four times and however many see okay,

712
00:34:37.920 --> 00:34:41.119
<v Speaker 1>but the Sons suddenly started clucking around like they were

713
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:43.880
<v Speaker 1>the champs and they never won anything.

714
00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Sons.

715
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:51.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, So I think, is that is your top three?

716
00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:55.000
<v Speaker 3>It seems the same as mine. L word, Warriors, Sons,

717
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:56.000
<v Speaker 3>reverse order, whatever.

718
00:34:56.159 --> 00:35:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, who would be four and five? Hank? It's always

719
00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:04.800
<v Speaker 1>sly Western Conference. Well, I got a real loud mouth

720
00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Knicks fan friend who won't shut.

721
00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Up, and they have won a long time, a long time.

722
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.480
<v Speaker 1>And he went, he went, He went and sat in

723
00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:19.480
<v Speaker 1>the three hundred section for Knicks Clippers on a Sunday afternoon,

724
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:23.199
<v Speaker 1>and when he stopt texting everyone he knew. But like

725
00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:25.400
<v Speaker 1>a Knick's home game, but like a Knick's home game.

726
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:28.760
<v Speaker 1>So I'm pretty sure Clippers won that game. But that's personal,

727
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:30.280
<v Speaker 1>that's not about the team. I really can't think of

728
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:32.639
<v Speaker 1>another team I hate as much as the three of them. Oz,

729
00:35:32.679 --> 00:35:33.159
<v Speaker 1>do you have more?

730
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:37.480
<v Speaker 3>I hate the cos the Pelicans because they beat us,

731
00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:38.719
<v Speaker 3>because I hate them.

732
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:44.480
<v Speaker 2>That's brutal. Uh. The Rockets I didn't like only because

733
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:47.360
<v Speaker 2>when CP three went there and the first game back

734
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:50.559
<v Speaker 2>at Staples Center was the little dust up he and

735
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:53.599
<v Speaker 2>Blake got into, and then the tunnel thing. There was

736
00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:56.119
<v Speaker 2>some hatred there if you want to go players now

737
00:35:56.480 --> 00:35:59.599
<v Speaker 2>that we don't like. And I still always appreciate CP three,

738
00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:00.719
<v Speaker 2>but a lot of people don't like him.

739
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:03.159
<v Speaker 3>Aymore, no, no, no, he's he's got such a huge

740
00:36:03.199 --> 00:36:05.400
<v Speaker 3>chip on his shoulder, like he like, it's not our

741
00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:08.519
<v Speaker 3>fault you're short, dude, Like it's not our fault that

742
00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:11.159
<v Speaker 3>you were born five foot ten and you list yourself

743
00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:13.880
<v Speaker 3>six foot or six foot one. That guy sees eye

744
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:16.480
<v Speaker 3>to eye when we are we're face to face, we're

745
00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:18.920
<v Speaker 3>looking at each other dead in the eyes. That dude

746
00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:21.159
<v Speaker 3>is five foot ten tops.

747
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm gonna say.

748
00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:26.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay, see Thunder, by the way makes my top five

749
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:31.480
<v Speaker 3>those people, because what they did to Seattle, unless you're

750
00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:32.519
<v Speaker 3>from Oklahoma City.

751
00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:34.639
<v Speaker 1>That way, they didn't do it.

752
00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:38.400
<v Speaker 3>But any one of those Starbucks fans are front runners

753
00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:40.719
<v Speaker 3>for a team that hasn't won, you know what I'm saying,

754
00:36:40.840 --> 00:36:42.079
<v Speaker 3>Like I don't.

755
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:44.559
<v Speaker 1>Was my first nam was the Seattle SuperSonics. Was my

756
00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:46.400
<v Speaker 1>first team I rooted for in best.

757
00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:47.239
<v Speaker 2>I like Seattle.

758
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I have a soft smart they're gonna have They're gonna

759
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:50.159
<v Speaker 1>have a team any minute.

760
00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:52.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, hashtag Sonics gate. Yeah, them in Vegas are

761
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:53.679
<v Speaker 2>getting the next two teams.

762
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:57.440
<v Speaker 3>So my buddy is a diehard Seattle SuperSonics fan. Diehard

763
00:36:57.480 --> 00:37:01.559
<v Speaker 3>Seattle guy, diehard Seattle Seahawks fan. He was doing business

764
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:05.960
<v Speaker 3>in Oklahoma City right before the stadium was about to open,

765
00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:07.320
<v Speaker 3>similar to our stadium.

766
00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:10.360
<v Speaker 1>It's just about to open. They're getting ready the hoopla.

767
00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:12.960
<v Speaker 1>It's like a few weeks away. He said. There was

768
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:16.519
<v Speaker 1>a tree planter outside the stadium with like a sapling

769
00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:20.639
<v Speaker 1>growing like ever so delicately in the tree planter outside

770
00:37:20.719 --> 00:37:23.639
<v Speaker 1>the brand new stadium. He said he took a dump

771
00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:28.320
<v Speaker 1>in that tree stand and said, I said, well, but

772
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:31.400
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna help fertilize that tree. And he told me

773
00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:33.840
<v Speaker 1>that is a hate tree that's growing.

774
00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:37.920
<v Speaker 3>Outside that stadium, a cursed hate tree. So the thunder

775
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:42.559
<v Speaker 3>could never win because of that hate tree that's growing outside.

776
00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:44.719
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, have you ever been to okcee

777
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:46.800
<v Speaker 1>do you know anything about the haunted hotel that the

778
00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:47.639
<v Speaker 1>players have to stay?

779
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:51.639
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for changing this subject, but I've only heard

780
00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:53.360
<v Speaker 2>you guys talk about the haunted hotel.

781
00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:55.320
<v Speaker 3>To be honest, Okay, we gotta go a deep dive

782
00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:57.360
<v Speaker 3>because I think my friend took a dump at that

783
00:37:57.440 --> 00:37:59.079
<v Speaker 3>hotel and it's been haunted ever since.

784
00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I'm probably an unholy shit, Like let me know

785
00:38:05.199 --> 00:38:10.079
<v Speaker 2>of the demonic came out? Maybe what other players outside

786
00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:12.880
<v Speaker 2>of CP three, who again, I also think is a

787
00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:15.199
<v Speaker 2>guy in these Avage Jersey retired at some point into it.

788
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:18.559
<v Speaker 1>Tell but right now possibly, yeah, I would wound.

789
00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:23.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, it hasn't exactly closed yet, but if he

790
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:25.159
<v Speaker 2>came back this season, if they made that trade with

791
00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:27.639
<v Speaker 2>the Golden State Warriors, I think very quickly people would

792
00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:29.480
<v Speaker 2>get back on board with Chris Paul Well, that's like.

793
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:32.199
<v Speaker 3>That's like James Harden, right, that's like Russell Westbrook. It's like,

794
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:34.480
<v Speaker 3>you don't I didn't like those guys. I didn't like

795
00:38:34.519 --> 00:38:37.079
<v Speaker 3>necessarily hate on those guys, but I certainly didn't like them.

796
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:39.159
<v Speaker 3>And then when they joined our team, I was like,

797
00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:43.199
<v Speaker 3>oh my god, it is so fun rooting for James Harden. Like,

798
00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:47.239
<v Speaker 3>holy cow, this guy is amazing and he's our quarterback.

799
00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:49.199
<v Speaker 3>That's why, by the way, people are sleeping on us.

800
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:52.079
<v Speaker 1>Let him sleep. James Harden, knock On Wood, doesn't get

801
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:54.440
<v Speaker 1>injured a lot. He's gonna give you seventy games this season.

802
00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:56.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the average is, but it's a

803
00:38:56.239 --> 00:38:59.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of games. He plays a slow paced game. He's

804
00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:02.159
<v Speaker 1>got a big but he's a he's a great quarterback.

805
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:04.760
<v Speaker 1>He like leans into guys. He takes his damn time.

806
00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:08.280
<v Speaker 3>He's not getting injured. So I like that he's our

807
00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:09.880
<v Speaker 3>quarterback and we don't have to do the will they

808
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:11.320
<v Speaker 3>won't they with Russell Westbrook.

809
00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:14.480
<v Speaker 1>So it's James Harden's team. It's not Kawi's team. It's

810
00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:17.000
<v Speaker 1>James Harden's team. I think we're in good shape. Guys

811
00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:21.800
<v Speaker 1>that I hate, obviously, I hate Anthony Davis. I hate

812
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:29.639
<v Speaker 1>Lebron Clay Thompson, Clay, you guys hate Clay. Oh, it's

813
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:34.519
<v Speaker 1>the worst. He's the worst. He had no chill when

814
00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:37.679
<v Speaker 1>they were good and Dad wouldn't shut up on the radio.

815
00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh, click click click, Clay. And he got

816
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:44.199
<v Speaker 1>interviewed and they said they he made up basically a question.

817
00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:46.239
<v Speaker 1>They were asking him, kind of question about the season.

818
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:48.719
<v Speaker 1>He's like, oh, are we the best team ever? And

819
00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:51.000
<v Speaker 1>it's like, no one asks you that, Clay. No one

820
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:55.679
<v Speaker 1>asks if you're the best team ever. I know, and

821
00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:57.519
<v Speaker 1>by the way, they did actually ask him, but it's

822
00:39:57.559 --> 00:39:59.840
<v Speaker 1>just like, I just try to really back up my hate.

823
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:02.079
<v Speaker 1>I can't stand him. And then it went on and

824
00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:04.599
<v Speaker 1>on about the Clippers and their fans and all this again.

825
00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Stand up. I'm glad he's in Dallas, and I hope

826
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:09.280
<v Speaker 1>nothing good happens for him.

827
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Do you guys hate Luca for now? Until the Clippers

828
00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:13.480
<v Speaker 2>could try to make a fish at him in twenty

829
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:14.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty six.

830
00:40:14.199 --> 00:40:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Completely can't stand Luca. He's he's by the way everything

831
00:40:18.679 --> 00:40:23.000
<v Speaker 1>along with our league. He's from the very first tip

832
00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:24.880
<v Speaker 1>of the very first minute of the very first game

833
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:27.599
<v Speaker 1>of the season, he's running around crying about every play.

834
00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:30.079
<v Speaker 1>And I'm saying that as a Clippers fan from during

835
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:32.159
<v Speaker 1>the Love City era where maybe we cried a little

836
00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:35.760
<v Speaker 1>too much. My nickname refs. My nickname for Luka don't

837
00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:38.239
<v Speaker 1>Cic is Luca. Don't you just hate Luka? Don't cic?

838
00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:41.000
<v Speaker 1>That's what I call him, call the stand. I can't

839
00:40:41.079 --> 00:40:45.599
<v Speaker 1>stand Luca. He's the worst. Just history on it. Especially

840
00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Dirk Noovinsky was the best. Dirk was the best. Here's

841
00:40:52.880 --> 00:40:58.519
<v Speaker 1>a social experiment, Chris, you've said you hate Luka, don't cic. Chris,

842
00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the Clippers just got Luca. Don't favorite player. He's good, just.

843
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Him face with passion. You remember Brian Steeman what he

844
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:13.199
<v Speaker 2>would always say for Chris, Paul the King of clever.

845
00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:15.920
<v Speaker 2>As Chris was up to his antics, then you just

846
00:41:16.039 --> 00:41:17.039
<v Speaker 2>have to spin it that way.

847
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:19.480
<v Speaker 1>He hit a lot of guys in the in the beans,

848
00:41:19.639 --> 00:41:23.639
<v Speaker 1>king of clever guys. How did it make you guys?

849
00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:26.679
<v Speaker 1>How did it make you guys feel when you found

850
00:41:26.760 --> 00:41:30.519
<v Speaker 1>out JJ Reddick coaching the l Word? How did it

851
00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:32.239
<v Speaker 1>make you feel? Because I got nothing but love for

852
00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:33.400
<v Speaker 1>JJ up until.

853
00:41:35.480 --> 00:41:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Obviously I don't want the Lakers to succeed. Succeed, but

854
00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:41.760
<v Speaker 2>I have a hard time rudy against JJ Reddick. I

855
00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:43.760
<v Speaker 2>agree with a lot of his opinions. I think he

856
00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:45.960
<v Speaker 2>has a great basketball mind. I don't think it's a

857
00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:49.000
<v Speaker 2>bad higher. I do think Darvin Ham lost them five

858
00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:51.719
<v Speaker 2>to seven games last year. I think he was really bad.

859
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:54.920
<v Speaker 2>It's concerning to me, honestly, because I think he's gonna

860
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:55.440
<v Speaker 2>make them better.

861
00:41:56.440 --> 00:41:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I don't know if he's a coach. He's got

862
00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:00.719
<v Speaker 1>no coaching experience in they need a coach.

863
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:06.159
<v Speaker 2>I he has a coaching staff with Lebron James, one

864
00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:09.039
<v Speaker 2>of the other greatest minds in NBA history. Like, what

865
00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:12.840
<v Speaker 2>they didn't do right last year was simply play the

866
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:15.519
<v Speaker 2>roster in the lineup that got them to the Western

867
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:17.119
<v Speaker 2>Conference Finals the year before.

868
00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:22.559
<v Speaker 1>Hard or just call it time out. Was tyleru a

869
00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:26.159
<v Speaker 1>head coach before he was? Excuse me? Was Tyler an

870
00:42:26.159 --> 00:42:28.320
<v Speaker 1>assistant coach before he was a head coach? Yes? Right,

871
00:42:28.400 --> 00:42:28.639
<v Speaker 1>he was.

872
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Docs was the assistant with Cleveland and he was an

873
00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:33.440
<v Speaker 2>assistant Yeah, with Doc before.

874
00:42:33.199 --> 00:42:35.559
<v Speaker 1>That, Okay, and then he became a coach. He got

875
00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:37.639
<v Speaker 1>bumped up. He didn't get bumped up because the coach

876
00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:39.400
<v Speaker 1>got fired. Right, he became head coach.

877
00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:42.079
<v Speaker 2>He won the championship with Cleveland twenty sixteen. They came

878
00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:44.440
<v Speaker 2>back down three to one. He was playing Richard Jefferson

879
00:42:44.519 --> 00:42:47.719
<v Speaker 2>in that game. Seven Old Ash Richard Jefferson, and it worked.

880
00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:48.440
<v Speaker 2>It was brilliant.

881
00:42:48.760 --> 00:42:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Not only.

882
00:42:50.800 --> 00:42:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Not only do we have a better building, we got

883
00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:55.760
<v Speaker 3>a better coach, a lot better. Tyler is a lot

884
00:42:55.880 --> 00:42:59.639
<v Speaker 3>better head coach than JJ Bedick, of.

885
00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:03.199
<v Speaker 2>Course, no doubt. I just think JJ, already having not

886
00:43:03.400 --> 00:43:05.519
<v Speaker 2>coached at all, better than Darvin Ham.

887
00:43:06.679 --> 00:43:09.480
<v Speaker 1>That's true with that, But being a great player does

888
00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:12.119
<v Speaker 1>it make you a great coach. No took Jason Kiddy

889
00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:14.079
<v Speaker 1>a very long time to get any good at coaching.

890
00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:17.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Isaiah Thomas wasn't a good head coach. The

891
00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:20.760
<v Speaker 2>one guy, Magic Johnson. The one guy who was pretty

892
00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:23.719
<v Speaker 2>good and then just stepped down was Larry Bird with Indiana.

893
00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:26.239
<v Speaker 2>Larry Bird was a good head coach who was an

894
00:43:26.280 --> 00:43:29.119
<v Speaker 2>all time great player. But JJ is kind of in between,

895
00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:32.719
<v Speaker 2>like when you have become managers. Yeah, he's he was

896
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:35.679
<v Speaker 2>a good player. He's not a Hall of famer, even

897
00:43:35.719 --> 00:43:37.320
<v Speaker 2>though he does have some three points stuff going in

898
00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:39.679
<v Speaker 2>his favor. He's not a Hall of famer. He's probably

899
00:43:39.800 --> 00:43:43.280
<v Speaker 2>right in that range of relatability, but still being able

900
00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:45.079
<v Speaker 2>to get the most out of guys and be tough

901
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:47.519
<v Speaker 2>on them when he needs to. Yeah, I think they're

902
00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:49.800
<v Speaker 2>better with him, Whether or not. That means, you know,

903
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:51.719
<v Speaker 2>we have to be too concerned about the L word.

904
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:53.920
<v Speaker 2>I just know in the standings, the stuff coming season.

905
00:43:53.960 --> 00:43:55.440
<v Speaker 2>I know you guys just went over the schedule for

906
00:43:55.480 --> 00:44:01.440
<v Speaker 2>the Clippers. It feels like play in to sixty sixth.

907
00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:05.159
<v Speaker 1>Seed being that was what I walked away with from

908
00:44:05.199 --> 00:44:10.159
<v Speaker 1>our schedule party episode, was that we I thought the

909
00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:12.239
<v Speaker 1>number we'd land I can't remember the actual number of

910
00:44:12.320 --> 00:44:14.920
<v Speaker 1>wins would leave us in that sixth I was thinking

911
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:22.440
<v Speaker 1>six to eight exactly. But I'm an optimates but that

912
00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:25.920
<v Speaker 1>is but that's also as constructed, and I don't think

913
00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:30.360
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna be this team all season. Well again, we

914
00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:32.599
<v Speaker 1>don't have a we don't have a second stream power forward,

915
00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:34.960
<v Speaker 1>and our power forward can't finish the season. We gotta

916
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:35.639
<v Speaker 1>get more guys.

917
00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:39.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if you tell me Kawhi is playing sixty plus games,

918
00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I could say, Okay, they have a real shot the

919
00:44:41.519 --> 00:44:44.199
<v Speaker 2>sixth spot, maybe even the five spot if things broke

920
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:46.000
<v Speaker 2>their way or if they still made another move.

921
00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:49.599
<v Speaker 1>But we have a backup to him, PJ. Tucker, who's

922
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:50.559
<v Speaker 1>our other power forward.

923
00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:52.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if PJ. Tucker's going to be on

924
00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:52.639
<v Speaker 2>the team.

925
00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:55.519
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm saying they're literally was.

926
00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:58.199
<v Speaker 2>The backup, and he is somebody who's gonna play twenty

927
00:44:58.239 --> 00:45:01.400
<v Speaker 2>minutes a night at most, So that's not a great situation.

928
00:45:01.559 --> 00:45:04.199
<v Speaker 2>Kobe Brown will get minutes there. You know, if you

929
00:45:04.320 --> 00:45:06.920
<v Speaker 2>want to play Jordan Miller, if he could guard up

930
00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:08.559
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more, I don't know if he can

931
00:45:08.679 --> 00:45:10.320
<v Speaker 2>though a mere coffee, same thing.

932
00:45:10.760 --> 00:45:13.440
<v Speaker 1>We have a Kobe, we have a Jordan. We have

933
00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:14.800
<v Speaker 1>a Kobe and a Jordan.

934
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:18.920
<v Speaker 3>Adam, while I'm on your show, can you please talk

935
00:45:18.960 --> 00:45:21.719
<v Speaker 3>to me about our juniors. I know everything that there

936
00:45:21.840 --> 00:45:24.239
<v Speaker 3>is to know about Brandon Boston Junior, but we got

937
00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:25.679
<v Speaker 3>three juniors on the squad.

938
00:45:26.079 --> 00:45:28.960
<v Speaker 1>We got a Porter junior, we got a Jones junior's

939
00:45:29.199 --> 00:45:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know about Derek Jones. Sorry, I don't know

940
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:34.159
<v Speaker 1>these guys. I don't know. James Junior will be our

941
00:45:34.199 --> 00:45:36.840
<v Speaker 1>starting small forward, so but I don't know much about him.

942
00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:39.280
<v Speaker 2>You think he's gonna start, He's gonna play the three.

943
00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I think they're gonna start. James Harden next to Terrence Man,

944
00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:44.679
<v Speaker 2>next to Derek Jones Junior, next to Kawhi, next to

945
00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:47.159
<v Speaker 2>eat Is Zubost. The only other guy could see.

946
00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:48.199
<v Speaker 1>Being in there too.

947
00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:55.079
<v Speaker 2>No I think Powell possibly for Terrence Man, but I

948
00:45:55.239 --> 00:45:57.400
<v Speaker 2>don't want that because I want them to be more

949
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:01.360
<v Speaker 2>defensive oriented. And with that starting up outside of James Harden,

950
00:46:01.400 --> 00:46:04.320
<v Speaker 2>you got four great defenders on the floor. They're gonna

951
00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:06.840
<v Speaker 2>lean into defense, which they need to remember. They came

952
00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:08.400
<v Speaker 2>into last season saying they want to be a top

953
00:46:08.440 --> 00:46:11.440
<v Speaker 2>five defense to get back to playing defense. They finished seventeenth,

954
00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:14.159
<v Speaker 2>and they were worse than that the last seventy games

955
00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:14.719
<v Speaker 2>they were missing.

956
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:17.079
<v Speaker 1>So by wait a second, that was the thing, right,

957
00:46:17.239 --> 00:46:19.599
<v Speaker 1>was that we brought in James Harden and everyone said,

958
00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:21.880
<v Speaker 1>get ready, he doesn't play any defense, And for about

959
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:25.599
<v Speaker 1>six weeks he was the best defender the Clippers had

960
00:46:25.639 --> 00:46:27.079
<v Speaker 1>and one of the best defenders in the league. He

961
00:46:27.079 --> 00:46:31.760
<v Speaker 1>suddenly was playing defense, and then he was getting steals.

962
00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:36.159
<v Speaker 1>He was getting stopped. All right, now we're gonna start

963
00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:39.039
<v Speaker 1>calling each other on being hyperbolic. Now we're gonna do

964
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:45.920
<v Speaker 1>you guys ever do that? He definitely he was greatst

965
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:48.320
<v Speaker 1>covering guys, he was getting steals, and literally on sports

966
00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:51.239
<v Speaker 1>radio everyone was like, wow, James Harden's playing defense. This

967
00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:52.599
<v Speaker 1>is great, and then he just stopped.

968
00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:55.800
<v Speaker 2>I think his effort was where it needed to be

969
00:46:56.280 --> 00:46:59.800
<v Speaker 2>while still being one of the worst defenders on the team.

970
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:03.920
<v Speaker 2>But for him, for his standard, sure he still was

971
00:47:04.000 --> 00:47:06.440
<v Speaker 2>doing enough and guys didn't have to cover for him enough.

972
00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:08.880
<v Speaker 2>And he's where he's bad is off ball.

973
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:13.039
<v Speaker 1>He gets caught watching steels during that December.

974
00:47:13.119 --> 00:47:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Well he's always gotten like he's led the league in

975
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:18.360
<v Speaker 2>steals before, like al and Iverson led the league and

976
00:47:18.360 --> 00:47:21.119
<v Speaker 2>steels before. It doesn't necessarily mean he was a great defender.

977
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Like those guys crashed passing lanes. They take risks and

978
00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:26.639
<v Speaker 2>therefore they give up a lot of plays.

979
00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:29.880
<v Speaker 1>And he's got busy hands, which I know you love, Hank,

980
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:33.280
<v Speaker 1>busy hands. That's what you guys have seen skilled a

981
00:47:33.320 --> 00:47:35.039
<v Speaker 1>lot of complaints from you, that's for sure.

982
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:41.119
<v Speaker 2>Justin Rousseau put together something fly by Night on Wait

983
00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:42.679
<v Speaker 2>a second, wait a second, is it Rousseau?

984
00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:45.840
<v Speaker 1>It's not I just you. I've been calling on Justin

985
00:47:45.920 --> 00:47:47.199
<v Speaker 1>rust like that's white and.

986
00:47:48.159 --> 00:47:49.000
<v Speaker 2>He's not French.

987
00:47:49.159 --> 00:47:58.320
<v Speaker 4>He's likelier day he put together a mix and called

988
00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:02.440
<v Speaker 4>it Speaking to the Heels with James Harden, the James Harden.

989
00:48:02.320 --> 00:48:07.039
<v Speaker 2>Strip Club Mix. All his highlights of all his heels,

990
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:10.719
<v Speaker 2>and there were plenty of them. So when they went

991
00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:12.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty six and five during that thirty one game run.

992
00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:16.599
<v Speaker 2>To your point, Henry, he was more than doing his part.

993
00:48:16.880 --> 00:48:19.559
<v Speaker 2>I think it was not a complete siber liability.

994
00:48:19.639 --> 00:48:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Now.

995
00:48:20.719 --> 00:48:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Thank their offense was so damn good defensively, even when

996
00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:27.119
<v Speaker 2>they weren't great, it didn't matter. But still they were

997
00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:30.519
<v Speaker 2>good enough on that and for a section of the

998
00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:31.800
<v Speaker 2>of the season.

999
00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Were you guys don't think we could do a twenty

1000
00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:38.199
<v Speaker 3>six and five out of thirty one run with this

1001
00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:39.039
<v Speaker 3>current lineup.

1002
00:48:39.079 --> 00:48:41.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting that vibe. I don't know that. I don't

1003
00:48:41.480 --> 00:48:45.159
<v Speaker 1>know that. I really don't know enough about Derek Jones Junior, right,

1004
00:48:45.519 --> 00:48:47.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know about Derek Jones Junior. And it

1005
00:48:47.559 --> 00:48:49.719
<v Speaker 1>feels like some of these guys people are excited about

1006
00:48:49.719 --> 00:48:51.519
<v Speaker 1>that we've gotten. I just don't know enough about him yet.

1007
00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:54.000
<v Speaker 3>I still don't know if it's Michael Porter Junior or

1008
00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:55.199
<v Speaker 3>Kevin Porter Junior.

1009
00:48:55.320 --> 00:48:56.039
<v Speaker 1>I still don't know.

1010
00:48:56.880 --> 00:48:59.519
<v Speaker 2>I know Kevin Porters junior, and he's not related to Michael,

1011
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:05.280
<v Speaker 2>and Michael is better. Michael is uh proven and a

1012
00:49:05.360 --> 00:49:08.119
<v Speaker 2>two hundred million dollar player and was a top four

1013
00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:09.119
<v Speaker 2>player on Championship.

1014
00:49:09.719 --> 00:49:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Could have had him.

1015
00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:14.280
<v Speaker 5>You could have just said, yeah, they could have. They

1016
00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:16.119
<v Speaker 5>could have had him, They could have had him, they

1017
00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:19.000
<v Speaker 5>already had s g A. Instead they went Jerome Robinson.

1018
00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:21.840
<v Speaker 5>To be fair, a lot of teams passed on Michael

1019
00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:23.840
<v Speaker 5>Porter Jr. Because of the back issues, and I think

1020
00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:25.840
<v Speaker 5>he missed his first season because of that too.

1021
00:49:26.239 --> 00:49:28.760
<v Speaker 1>Also to fair, Terrence Man greater than SGA.

1022
00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:34.760
<v Speaker 2>So to be fair, some say one one person the

1023
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:36.559
<v Speaker 2>last day of the wild.

1024
00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:39.840
<v Speaker 3>And maybe maybe Terrence Man's mom also says that, Like

1025
00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:40.840
<v Speaker 3>I think two people.

1026
00:49:40.679 --> 00:49:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Say that, no doubt.

1027
00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:45.039
<v Speaker 2>Uh, Kevin Porter Jr. Is very talented though, guys, just

1028
00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:47.760
<v Speaker 2>the off the court stuff that is obviously.

1029
00:49:47.519 --> 00:49:49.119
<v Speaker 1>We got a fair We got a fair amount of

1030
00:49:49.199 --> 00:49:51.519
<v Speaker 1>off the court stuff coming that just came our way.

1031
00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:56.519
<v Speaker 1>That is also yeah, we'll see. Uh, he's not our

1032
00:49:56.559 --> 00:49:58.119
<v Speaker 1>only guy who's problems.

1033
00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Kai Jones had some mental health issues and looks to

1034
00:50:02.920 --> 00:50:06.480
<v Speaker 2>be healthy now in multiple ways. There is he had

1035
00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:09.039
<v Speaker 2>an ankle injury in play in the summer League. Has

1036
00:50:09.119 --> 00:50:11.639
<v Speaker 2>tremendous upside. I think he just turned twenty three, but

1037
00:50:11.760 --> 00:50:13.360
<v Speaker 2>can jump out of the gym. Could be a rim

1038
00:50:13.440 --> 00:50:15.440
<v Speaker 2>runner type of big that would be a great danum

1039
00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:18.159
<v Speaker 2>with James Harden at times. Kevin Porter Junior, you put

1040
00:50:18.239 --> 00:50:19.800
<v Speaker 2>up fifty on Drew Holiday in a game for the

1041
00:50:19.840 --> 00:50:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Houston Rockets. Like, yeah, average almost twenty points per game

1042
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:23.760
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years ago.

1043
00:50:24.039 --> 00:50:24.440
<v Speaker 4>You like that.

1044
00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:28.320
<v Speaker 2>The issue is off the court, and he is on

1045
00:50:28.440 --> 00:50:30.599
<v Speaker 2>a two year deal, so it seems like the Clippers

1046
00:50:30.639 --> 00:50:32.679
<v Speaker 2>are believing in investing in him.

1047
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:36.679
<v Speaker 3>Comback clips, man, come back clips. These guys have comebacks

1048
00:50:36.679 --> 00:50:38.960
<v Speaker 3>when they come here, like Reggie Jackson, Nicholas. There's a

1049
00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:41.440
<v Speaker 3>lot of guys where they get a second shot with

1050
00:50:41.559 --> 00:50:44.039
<v Speaker 3>the clips and you're flying under the radar and you're

1051
00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:47.320
<v Speaker 3>living in this beautiful West Coast with the gorgeous weather,

1052
00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:50.000
<v Speaker 3>and it's not all the pressure that the other guys get,

1053
00:50:50.360 --> 00:50:51.599
<v Speaker 3>so you can really shine.

1054
00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:54.920
<v Speaker 1>We'll see what happens. It could be a redemption story. Adam,

1055
00:50:54.960 --> 00:50:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Are you sick of talking about Paul George?

1056
00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:00.280
<v Speaker 2>No, if you guys, I want to talk well with

1057
00:51:00.360 --> 00:51:00.920
<v Speaker 2>you guys a bit.

1058
00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, Well, I could cover ground that's been covered and

1059
00:51:04.480 --> 00:51:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy to do it. But I am curious what

1060
00:51:06.679 --> 00:51:09.800
<v Speaker 1>your feeling is about how what his season is like

1061
00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:13.760
<v Speaker 1>at Philly. We all know what he we all know

1062
00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:15.880
<v Speaker 1>what he did here. He underperformed here. He said he

1063
00:51:15.920 --> 00:51:18.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to be the number one option. He shirked

1064
00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:21.480
<v Speaker 1>his responsibility, he didn't put forth full effort, and then

1065
00:51:21.559 --> 00:51:23.960
<v Speaker 1>complained that he didn't get number one money and then

1066
00:51:24.039 --> 00:51:26.280
<v Speaker 1>aired the laundry all out like that's the long and

1067
00:51:26.360 --> 00:51:27.920
<v Speaker 1>short of it, and I love it.

1068
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:30.880
<v Speaker 2>I love left burning bridges like this on the way

1069
00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:33.000
<v Speaker 2>out when I think it would have been close to

1070
00:51:33.119 --> 00:51:35.920
<v Speaker 2>like maybe sixty forty booze to cheers when he came

1071
00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:37.960
<v Speaker 2>back on November sixth. Now it's going to be like

1072
00:51:38.119 --> 00:51:41.079
<v Speaker 2>ninety ten boost to cheers. And that's all self inflicted.

1073
00:51:41.119 --> 00:51:43.840
<v Speaker 2>It's his own doing. It's we know how it is

1074
00:51:43.920 --> 00:51:46.199
<v Speaker 2>having a podcast and having to talk a lot, and

1075
00:51:46.320 --> 00:51:48.960
<v Speaker 2>sometimes you get yourself into trouble. But as Paul's here

1076
00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:51.400
<v Speaker 2>brought up, you can also edit that stuff out afterwards.

1077
00:51:51.519 --> 00:51:52.159
<v Speaker 2>I think he has.

1078
00:51:53.599 --> 00:51:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Took out.

1079
00:51:54.519 --> 00:51:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Could somebody get in his ear and say, maybe calling

1080
00:51:57.480 --> 00:51:59.519
<v Speaker 2>your former team, the B team that you said you

1081
00:51:59.599 --> 00:52:02.480
<v Speaker 2>grew up rooting for, so therefore you should have known

1082
00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:05.719
<v Speaker 2>where their place was in Los Angeles, So why were

1083
00:52:05.760 --> 00:52:07.880
<v Speaker 2>you actually surprised all of a sudden when you realized, oh,

1084
00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:11.119
<v Speaker 2>it's not the same as the Lakers. And by the way,

1085
00:52:11.159 --> 00:52:12.880
<v Speaker 2>the Clippers are on their way we'll see who has

1086
00:52:12.920 --> 00:52:13.320
<v Speaker 2>the funeral.

1087
00:52:13.360 --> 00:52:16.239
<v Speaker 1>Why'd you say no, thank you to the responsibility of

1088
00:52:16.280 --> 00:52:19.239
<v Speaker 1>being the leader and then complain you didn't get matching money?

1089
00:52:19.960 --> 00:52:23.159
<v Speaker 1>Literally said in multiple interviews, I just want to be Robin.

1090
00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:25.039
<v Speaker 1>I just want to be the number two. I don't

1091
00:52:25.079 --> 00:52:26.039
<v Speaker 1>think I'm a number one.

1092
00:52:26.519 --> 00:52:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Then what's the problem, and then said, just give me

1093
00:52:28.719 --> 00:52:31.239
<v Speaker 2>what Kawai got, and then two sentences later said, so

1094
00:52:31.360 --> 00:52:33.199
<v Speaker 2>they offered the one fifty and I'm like, we're in

1095
00:52:33.280 --> 00:52:35.760
<v Speaker 2>the ballpark. Now. Wait, you just said just give me

1096
00:52:35.840 --> 00:52:38.679
<v Speaker 2>what Kawai got. They offer it and you don't take it.

1097
00:52:38.760 --> 00:52:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Still now, so do you think it'd be the same

1098
00:52:41.000 --> 00:52:42.760
<v Speaker 1>So then that's my question. Do you think it's going

1099
00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:44.199
<v Speaker 1>to be the same thing in Philly? Do you think

1100
00:52:44.239 --> 00:52:47.840
<v Speaker 1>that Embiid's gonna be injured, Paul George is gonna it's

1101
00:52:47.880 --> 00:52:50.039
<v Speaker 1>just gonna be another exciting start that goes nowhere.

1102
00:52:50.400 --> 00:52:52.880
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a high likelihood of that just because

1103
00:52:52.880 --> 00:52:56.119
<v Speaker 2>of MBA's Yeah, you know, his lack of availability in

1104
00:52:56.159 --> 00:52:58.159
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs has been very similar, and even when he

1105
00:52:58.199 --> 00:53:00.760
<v Speaker 2>has been available, there's been a dirty little secret around

1106
00:53:00.840 --> 00:53:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Embi that he really hasn't performed to his capabilities. And

1107
00:53:04.119 --> 00:53:07.199
<v Speaker 2>big spots in the playoffs. Healthy or not, he has

1108
00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:10.199
<v Speaker 2>not been the guy. Obviously. They lost in the second

1109
00:53:10.280 --> 00:53:12.719
<v Speaker 2>round last year to the New York Knicks, but I

1110
00:53:12.880 --> 00:53:15.719
<v Speaker 2>have question marks. Now he has a young guy in

1111
00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:19.639
<v Speaker 2>Maxi and Tyrese Max who's only twenty three. That's very

1112
00:53:19.800 --> 00:53:22.559
<v Speaker 2>different than playing next to an older Kawhi and older

1113
00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:24.679
<v Speaker 2>James Harden. You do have a young buck that you

1114
00:53:24.719 --> 00:53:27.599
<v Speaker 2>can rely on as an innings eater. That was brilliant

1115
00:53:27.679 --> 00:53:30.280
<v Speaker 2>for them and really better I think than MBID in

1116
00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:34.400
<v Speaker 2>that playoff run for them last season. But I don't

1117
00:53:34.519 --> 00:53:37.159
<v Speaker 2>trust the health of the team, including Paul George. I

1118
00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:38.679
<v Speaker 2>know he's coming off a season where I think he

1119
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:40.760
<v Speaker 2>played seventy eight games for the Clippers. I think some

1120
00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:43.000
<v Speaker 2>of that he pushed it to the max because he

1121
00:53:43.119 --> 00:53:45.480
<v Speaker 2>wont to make sure to get that max contract. I

1122
00:53:45.559 --> 00:53:50.159
<v Speaker 2>don't blame him for doing that season Absolutely in February

1123
00:53:50.199 --> 00:53:52.559
<v Speaker 2>when he was averaging eighteen points per game and shooting

1124
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:55.199
<v Speaker 2>under forty percent or whatever it was, he didn't look right.

1125
00:53:55.320 --> 00:53:57.440
<v Speaker 2>He didn't look healthy to me, but he just felt

1126
00:53:57.519 --> 00:54:00.320
<v Speaker 2>like maybe he had to play through that. Now also

1127
00:54:00.360 --> 00:54:02.679
<v Speaker 2>said maybe it was the contract issue, Maybe it was

1128
00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:05.519
<v Speaker 2>that getting into his head. I don't know, but him

1129
00:54:05.599 --> 00:54:08.000
<v Speaker 2>has a third option. It's a good spot for him.

1130
00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:10.320
<v Speaker 2>There is the third option. I just don't know if

1131
00:54:10.360 --> 00:54:12.559
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna have all the pieces available when they need

1132
00:54:12.679 --> 00:54:13.480
<v Speaker 2>to in a playoff run.

1133
00:54:13.639 --> 00:54:16.599
<v Speaker 1>So you think he's the third option, he's the second option.

1134
00:54:16.719 --> 00:54:18.440
<v Speaker 1>And do you think he knows that and he wants

1135
00:54:18.559 --> 00:54:19.039
<v Speaker 1>to be three?

1136
00:54:19.519 --> 00:54:19.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

1137
00:54:19.679 --> 00:54:22.920
<v Speaker 1>I think he's strilled. I think he's in for a hard, hard,

1138
00:54:23.079 --> 00:54:25.599
<v Speaker 1>rude awakening. When they said what are you most on

1139
00:54:25.719 --> 00:54:28.679
<v Speaker 1>his own podcast, what are you most excited about playing

1140
00:54:28.719 --> 00:54:31.440
<v Speaker 1>in Philly? And he said, the fan.

1141
00:54:32.800 --> 00:54:33.559
<v Speaker 2>So screwed.

1142
00:54:33.719 --> 00:54:37.679
<v Speaker 1>It's screwed. Philadelphia is the worst. Philadelphia is the worst

1143
00:54:37.719 --> 00:54:40.920
<v Speaker 1>part of your worst kind of person. Philadelphia is the worst.

1144
00:54:41.960 --> 00:54:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Fanta clause like Clipper fans are sweethearts. Were sweethearts. They're

1145
00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:55.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna thrill him. They're gonna kill him. He's dead the

1146
00:54:55.679 --> 00:54:58.000
<v Speaker 1>one hundred points in a game. They're gonna kill him.

1147
00:54:58.119 --> 00:54:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Dead on the water. He's dead on the.

1148
00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:04.119
<v Speaker 2>I'll predict with you, guys, tell me if I'm onto

1149
00:55:04.159 --> 00:55:07.079
<v Speaker 2>something here. At some point during the season, whether regular

1150
00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:09.639
<v Speaker 2>season of the playoffs, he's gonna have to have a

1151
00:55:09.719 --> 00:55:14.079
<v Speaker 2>podcast pee blackout where he goes off the air because

1152
00:55:14.119 --> 00:55:17.079
<v Speaker 2>he feels like if he doesn't, he's gonna be highly

1153
00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:20.280
<v Speaker 2>criticized by his play even more because they're gonna say

1154
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:22.400
<v Speaker 2>all he cares about is the podcast that happens.

1155
00:55:23.159 --> 00:55:24.719
<v Speaker 1>If he does that, well you have us on immediately

1156
00:55:24.800 --> 00:55:28.119
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it. Or he has a podcast p

1157
00:55:28.360 --> 00:55:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Blackout where he gets blackout drunk and says what he

1158
00:55:31.639 --> 00:55:35.719
<v Speaker 1>really feels about the Philadelphia fans. They are terrible. There's

1159
00:55:35.760 --> 00:55:39.760
<v Speaker 1>a reason that George Washington across to Delaware to New

1160
00:55:39.880 --> 00:55:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Jersey and put Pennsylvania in the rear view. That place

1161
00:55:42.360 --> 00:55:45.199
<v Speaker 1>is horrible. That place is horrible. I would never want

1162
00:55:45.199 --> 00:55:46.119
<v Speaker 1>to mess with those fans.

1163
00:55:46.719 --> 00:55:51.000
<v Speaker 2>And here, when was it Troy Aikman who LeVar Arrington

1164
00:55:51.119 --> 00:55:53.280
<v Speaker 2>like broke his neck and he never played again. I

1165
00:55:53.519 --> 00:55:57.400
<v Speaker 2>can't remember. That wasn't Philly, It was yeah, booing Santa.

1166
00:55:57.760 --> 00:56:01.280
<v Speaker 2>It is the toughest place to play in the sports.

1167
00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia's most legendary sports icon is a fictional character named Rocky.

1168
00:56:07.639 --> 00:56:12.199
<v Speaker 1>It's not even a real guy. It's not a real guy.

1169
00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:14.559
<v Speaker 1>That is not that's the worst city. That is the

1170
00:56:14.679 --> 00:56:16.599
<v Speaker 1>worst city. Hold on, hold that it is a great

1171
00:56:16.639 --> 00:56:19.440
<v Speaker 1>sports city. Now, hold on, that's one of this horrible

1172
00:56:19.800 --> 00:56:25.159
<v Speaker 1>top five sports city, get sports, top sports bull bull

1173
00:56:25.239 --> 00:56:29.039
<v Speaker 1>crap to crap. That's that's that's that's that's outrageous that

1174
00:56:29.119 --> 00:56:35.920
<v Speaker 1>you're saying that the Eagles have won the championship multiple times,

1175
00:56:35.960 --> 00:56:38.639
<v Speaker 1>they're a great sports city. Get out of here. That's

1176
00:56:38.679 --> 00:56:42.199
<v Speaker 1>like called Cleveland a great sports city. It's like calling

1177
00:56:42.360 --> 00:56:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland a great sports city. If you're a horrible city,

1178
00:56:46.360 --> 00:56:48.920
<v Speaker 1>you're not a good sports city. You're a horrible city.

1179
00:56:49.320 --> 00:56:52.119
<v Speaker 1>And that's just what you are. Like Boston's a cool city,

1180
00:56:52.239 --> 00:56:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Like so it's not a really cool city. So they

1181
00:56:53.920 --> 00:56:55.559
<v Speaker 1>could be a good sports down New York City, great

1182
00:56:55.639 --> 00:56:57.360
<v Speaker 1>city in the world, that could be a good sports

1183
00:56:57.400 --> 00:56:59.960
<v Speaker 1>time obviously, l a coolest cit Icago. Chicago got a

1184
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:05.079
<v Speaker 1>of course, the original five NHL cities sports.

1185
00:57:05.480 --> 00:57:08.880
<v Speaker 2>I heard something awful about Chicago sports over the last year,

1186
00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:11.760
<v Speaker 2>over the last calendar years, someone somebody said this on

1187
00:57:11.800 --> 00:57:15.119
<v Speaker 2>sports radio that if you combined all of their sports

1188
00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:17.960
<v Speaker 2>and added up their win percentage, it was the worst

1189
00:57:18.119 --> 00:57:22.360
<v Speaker 2>of any city in the history of sports. Like every

1190
00:57:22.519 --> 00:57:27.000
<v Speaker 2>team was so bad at once wofetime. And they've been

1191
00:57:27.079 --> 00:57:28.000
<v Speaker 2>through a lot already.

1192
00:57:28.719 --> 00:57:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Right now you're talking about just right now, last calendar year, they.

1193
00:57:31.960 --> 00:57:35.719
<v Speaker 2>Put together the worst win percentage combined of all their

1194
00:57:35.760 --> 00:57:38.400
<v Speaker 2>sporting teams. I don't know what it ended up being,

1195
00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:40.280
<v Speaker 2>like they won thirty percent of their games with all

1196
00:57:40.320 --> 00:57:43.599
<v Speaker 2>their teams something like that. Okay, I want to ask

1197
00:57:43.639 --> 00:57:45.960
<v Speaker 2>you guys. Did I listened to the last podcast.

1198
00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Smart very smart schedule.

1199
00:57:48.679 --> 00:57:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Reveal podcasts, and you guys went through the entire hour.

1200
00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:54.559
<v Speaker 1>We're tired again.

1201
00:57:54.679 --> 00:57:59.840
<v Speaker 2>You did the work, You did the work, no day game.

1202
00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:03.920
<v Speaker 2>But but you brought up an issue I had when

1203
00:58:03.920 --> 00:58:06.159
<v Speaker 2>I saw the schedule sixteen back to backs?

1204
00:58:06.159 --> 00:58:09.199
<v Speaker 1>Do you think what is happening? Why do we get

1205
00:58:09.199 --> 00:58:11.320
<v Speaker 1>a new stadium if we're gonna have sixteen back to backs?

1206
00:58:11.360 --> 00:58:13.679
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was an immediate fix would be that

1207
00:58:13.719 --> 00:58:16.880
<v Speaker 1>we would at least at least have the same amount

1208
00:58:16.920 --> 00:58:20.159
<v Speaker 1>of back to backs, not a record number. We've never

1209
00:58:20.239 --> 00:58:21.519
<v Speaker 1>had sixteen back to backs.

1210
00:58:21.719 --> 00:58:24.480
<v Speaker 2>We'll take fifteen, damn it, but one more, not sixteen.

1211
00:58:24.920 --> 00:58:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Over more over more. We would have taken the under

1212
00:58:28.440 --> 00:58:31.000
<v Speaker 1>we wanted, the under star Spurs. We would have taken

1213
00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:32.320
<v Speaker 1>any amount of over.

1214
00:58:33.599 --> 00:58:35.840
<v Speaker 3>That's the thing, though, You gotta win, like you gotta

1215
00:58:35.920 --> 00:58:38.519
<v Speaker 3>win to get a good schedule, and and you gotta

1216
00:58:38.559 --> 00:58:39.039
<v Speaker 3>win a lot.

1217
00:58:39.239 --> 00:58:42.159
<v Speaker 1>So it's like the Warriors were not that great until

1218
00:58:42.280 --> 00:58:45.559
<v Speaker 1>they became great. You know, so they were get in favor.

1219
00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:47.280
<v Speaker 1>They did it in the draft. Bro, they did it

1220
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:47.920
<v Speaker 1>in the draft.

1221
00:58:48.079 --> 00:58:51.199
<v Speaker 2>I know, Jen straight winning seasons over here?

1222
00:58:51.280 --> 00:58:54.360
<v Speaker 3>What do you mean you gotta win, you gotta win chips,

1223
00:58:54.360 --> 00:58:56.440
<v Speaker 3>you gotta win multiple chips or you think that's it

1224
00:58:57.880 --> 00:59:01.000
<v Speaker 3>under you think that's the reason one hundred Milwaukee Bucks

1225
00:59:01.079 --> 00:59:03.079
<v Speaker 3>don't have as many back to backs because they want

1226
00:59:03.079 --> 00:59:03.960
<v Speaker 3>to chip three years ago?

1227
00:59:04.000 --> 00:59:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Where the hell it is? I guarantee you, I guarantee

1228
00:59:07.000 --> 00:59:10.119
<v Speaker 1>you take the last four champions and none of them

1229
00:59:10.159 --> 00:59:11.800
<v Speaker 1>have as many back to backs. I mean, obviously, I

1230
00:59:11.800 --> 00:59:13.119
<v Speaker 1>think we have the most back to backs in the league.

1231
00:59:13.119 --> 00:59:14.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know that in front of me,

1232
00:59:14.440 --> 00:59:18.599
<v Speaker 1>but I guarantee you Milwaukee Bucks won one. Right who else? Like, like,

1233
00:59:18.599 --> 00:59:20.719
<v Speaker 1>who's a random team that won in Toronto Raptors? Like,

1234
00:59:20.760 --> 00:59:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I guarantee you they don't have as many. I win something.

1235
00:59:23.840 --> 00:59:26.599
<v Speaker 2>I'll say this. I think there are eleven teams that

1236
00:59:26.719 --> 00:59:29.000
<v Speaker 2>had sixteen back to backs, and the Clippers were one

1237
00:59:29.039 --> 00:59:32.119
<v Speaker 2>of them. Oh wow, Now how many of them though

1238
00:59:32.480 --> 00:59:35.840
<v Speaker 2>had their own arena? Have their own arena? Just built

1239
00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:38.320
<v Speaker 2>their new arenas. Getting the All Star Game, is getting

1240
00:59:38.360 --> 00:59:41.519
<v Speaker 2>the Olympics, is doing all this good for the NBA,

1241
00:59:42.239 --> 00:59:44.800
<v Speaker 2>and they still have to deal with that.

1242
00:59:45.079 --> 00:59:48.599
<v Speaker 1>I hate us They not to mention a team that

1243
00:59:49.039 --> 00:59:51.119
<v Speaker 1>it feels to me like the league would like to

1244
00:59:51.199 --> 00:59:54.440
<v Speaker 1>be relevant, like they were. They've been a marquee story.

1245
00:59:54.960 --> 00:59:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Why why put them in a situation when the backs

1246
00:59:57.719 --> 01:00:02.079
<v Speaker 1>at all? Why does it any back to backs? It

1247
01:00:02.199 --> 01:00:02.800
<v Speaker 1>really is bad?

1248
01:00:02.960 --> 01:00:06.599
<v Speaker 2>Why Adam will take it into July? No back to

1249
01:00:06.679 --> 01:00:09.519
<v Speaker 2>backs for any team? More superstars play every night.

1250
01:00:09.599 --> 01:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Therefore, and by the way, in the playoffs, not a

1251
01:00:13.480 --> 01:00:16.679
<v Speaker 1>single team in the in the conference finals, those last

1252
01:00:16.760 --> 01:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>four teams, not a single team featured a recognizable star

1253
01:00:22.039 --> 01:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>veteran that had been around. You know, there was no Lebron,

1254
01:00:24.360 --> 01:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>there was no kd there was no Steph Curry. These guys,

1255
01:00:28.199 --> 01:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>these there were stars in it. But like our guys

1256
01:00:30.840 --> 01:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>that are older, that have been in the league for

1257
01:00:32.480 --> 01:00:34.559
<v Speaker 1>ten years and are still the face of the league,

1258
01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:38.559
<v Speaker 1>we're all hobbled. There's so many injuries at the end

1259
01:00:38.559 --> 01:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>of the season. Why do there need to be any

1260
01:00:40.079 --> 01:00:42.840
<v Speaker 1>back to backs? Especially then the complaint is, but I

1261
01:00:42.920 --> 01:00:45.880
<v Speaker 1>bought a ticket, I didn't get to see every player play. Well,

1262
01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:48.440
<v Speaker 1>then do less games. Well, they're never going to do

1263
01:00:48.559 --> 01:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>less games, sadly, because that one I know answered all

1264
01:00:51.320 --> 01:00:52.840
<v Speaker 1>your questions is money. Yeah.

1265
01:00:52.880 --> 01:00:54.679
<v Speaker 3>And the one truncated season where I think we had

1266
01:00:54.880 --> 01:00:57.320
<v Speaker 3>seventy five, it was like it was a seventies.

1267
01:00:57.360 --> 01:00:59.079
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't eighty two. It was in the seventies. But

1268
01:00:59.159 --> 01:01:01.800
<v Speaker 1>the math worked out perfectly that we played everyone in

1269
01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:04.320
<v Speaker 1>the East twice, we played everyone in the West three times,

1270
01:01:04.360 --> 01:01:06.639
<v Speaker 1>so there were no tie breakers. It was the math

1271
01:01:06.800 --> 01:01:10.199
<v Speaker 1>worked so perfectly. Why aren't you doing this every season?

1272
01:01:10.360 --> 01:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>But I get why they're not doing it whatever, And

1273
01:01:13.159 --> 01:01:15.599
<v Speaker 1>to your point about the old Heads not being there

1274
01:01:15.639 --> 01:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>in the final four, I loved it. I loved all

1275
01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:19.760
<v Speaker 1>the I love you too, But I'm saying that if

1276
01:01:19.840 --> 01:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>your teams are injured, what's the point.

1277
01:01:21.800 --> 01:01:24.079
<v Speaker 3>But look at the Celtics. Look what the Celtics were

1278
01:01:24.079 --> 01:01:26.840
<v Speaker 3>able to do. They didn't have any serious injuries really

1279
01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:27.880
<v Speaker 3>all season long.

1280
01:01:28.199 --> 01:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Their stars stayed healthy.

1281
01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Gave they lost Chris STAPs and still won the damn championship.

1282
01:01:34.239 --> 01:01:35.039
<v Speaker 2>That's crazy.

1283
01:01:35.239 --> 01:01:35.880
<v Speaker 1>That's a good point.

1284
01:01:36.159 --> 01:01:38.000
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think they had a top five player

1285
01:01:38.079 --> 01:01:41.119
<v Speaker 2>on that team in the end. Stato or Dalen Brown

1286
01:01:41.159 --> 01:01:41.400
<v Speaker 2>are one.

1287
01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:43.519
<v Speaker 1>But we are several seasons in a row where the

1288
01:01:43.760 --> 01:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>download at the end of the Western Conference, at the

1289
01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:47.719
<v Speaker 1>end of the season, as Wow, whoever made it to

1290
01:01:47.800 --> 01:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>the finals face nothing but injured teams. That has been

1291
01:01:51.440 --> 01:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>a story for several seasons and it happens because they're

1292
01:01:53.880 --> 01:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>playing too much. Yeah, I mean, I'm a big oh

1293
01:01:56.880 --> 01:01:59.079
<v Speaker 1>if the Stuns made it but everyone was injured like

1294
01:01:59.159 --> 01:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>that keeps being the story as we're going into the

1295
01:02:01.360 --> 01:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>finals here and here's the thing.

1296
01:02:03.079 --> 01:02:06.039
<v Speaker 3>Just like to go back to what you guys were saying,

1297
01:02:06.079 --> 01:02:09.960
<v Speaker 3>where Adam has the guys in a six to ten window,

1298
01:02:10.280 --> 01:02:12.280
<v Speaker 3>Hank has the guys in a six to eight window.

1299
01:02:12.880 --> 01:02:14.880
<v Speaker 1>You gotta be one, two or three if you want

1300
01:02:14.920 --> 01:02:17.920
<v Speaker 1>to win it all. You just have to. You said

1301
01:02:17.960 --> 01:02:19.519
<v Speaker 1>that HARDBA.

1302
01:02:20.159 --> 01:02:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Only two teams ever have won that were not there and.

1303
01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:25.599
<v Speaker 3>They were returning champions. Both of the teams were returning

1304
01:02:25.880 --> 01:02:28.079
<v Speaker 3>You have to be one, two or three, and it

1305
01:02:28.199 --> 01:02:31.119
<v Speaker 3>really helps to be one. Boston Celtics were the best

1306
01:02:31.119 --> 01:02:33.159
<v Speaker 3>team in the NBA and they won it all. They

1307
01:02:33.239 --> 01:02:35.159
<v Speaker 3>only lost like three times at home or something. They

1308
01:02:35.199 --> 01:02:37.639
<v Speaker 3>only lost like three playoff games or whatever it was.

1309
01:02:37.719 --> 01:02:39.920
<v Speaker 3>They had an incredible run, and I think they're for real.

1310
01:02:40.159 --> 01:02:42.159
<v Speaker 3>And I'm very glad that we're not in the Eastern

1311
01:02:42.239 --> 01:02:44.519
<v Speaker 3>Conference because Boston scares the crap at me.

1312
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:48.559
<v Speaker 2>Is the championship window closed for this ara of Clippers basketball?

1313
01:02:49.119 --> 01:02:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Hell no, you can't go eighty two and oh

1314
01:02:51.079 --> 01:02:51.519
<v Speaker 1>and not win it.

1315
01:02:53.480 --> 01:02:53.519
<v Speaker 2>No.

1316
01:02:53.679 --> 01:02:55.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think Kawhi can still get one. I

1317
01:02:55.719 --> 01:02:56.679
<v Speaker 1>think we got to build.

1318
01:02:57.039 --> 01:02:59.480
<v Speaker 3>I think James Harden can lead us to the Promised Land.

1319
01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:03.400
<v Speaker 3>This team, like Hank said, is not going to look

1320
01:03:03.480 --> 01:03:06.039
<v Speaker 3>the same by year's end. We always make moves by

1321
01:03:06.079 --> 01:03:09.239
<v Speaker 3>the trade deadline. We've never really sat pat like ever.

1322
01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:11.400
<v Speaker 3>It's been a long time since sat pat.

1323
01:03:11.719 --> 01:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>So uh yeah, we can. Kawhi can win one. He

1324
01:03:14.960 --> 01:03:15.199
<v Speaker 1>may not.

1325
01:03:15.639 --> 01:03:17.679
<v Speaker 3>He may not be the first option when we win,

1326
01:03:18.679 --> 01:03:21.079
<v Speaker 3>but we could. Kawhi can be suited up and we

1327
01:03:21.159 --> 01:03:23.360
<v Speaker 3>can win it all. And I like, I just want

1328
01:03:23.400 --> 01:03:26.280
<v Speaker 3>baby steps, man, like I wanted that first Final four

1329
01:03:26.320 --> 01:03:28.679
<v Speaker 3>and we got it. You know, I want to be

1330
01:03:28.760 --> 01:03:31.679
<v Speaker 3>the Western Conference champs like I want that. I want

1331
01:03:31.719 --> 01:03:35.360
<v Speaker 3>to win the NBA Cup, the end season tournament won

1332
01:03:35.440 --> 01:03:35.840
<v Speaker 3>there too.

1333
01:03:36.360 --> 01:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I take it. Well, I I think it's I think

1334
01:03:38.400 --> 01:03:40.559
<v Speaker 1>a lot. It's funny. We don't talk about him because

1335
01:03:40.559 --> 01:03:42.639
<v Speaker 1>he's one of my favorite Clippers, and I'm glad he

1336
01:03:42.760 --> 01:03:47.199
<v Speaker 1>got his bag. But Georgia, I'm very curious to see

1337
01:03:47.239 --> 01:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>what I'm very I'm very curious to see if Zeus's

1338
01:03:53.559 --> 01:03:56.159
<v Speaker 1>game has changed in the postseason. I'm very curious to

1339
01:03:56.239 --> 01:03:57.599
<v Speaker 1>see what much better every year.

1340
01:03:57.760 --> 01:03:57.960
<v Speaker 2>But he.

1341
01:03:59.440 --> 01:04:04.199
<v Speaker 1>And he and he, he has so definitely improved his athleticism.

1342
01:04:05.159 --> 01:04:07.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious to see what kind of fire he brings

1343
01:04:07.280 --> 01:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>this season. And I wonder if he's ready to climb

1344
01:04:11.039 --> 01:04:13.480
<v Speaker 1>in and take the spot that Paul George left. Obviously

1345
01:04:13.480 --> 01:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>not the position spot, but I mean as far as

1346
01:04:15.480 --> 01:04:22.159
<v Speaker 1>being a high options getting better and better. But he

1347
01:04:22.360 --> 01:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>needs to explode this season, and then I still think

1348
01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:26.519
<v Speaker 1>we need another piece.

1349
01:04:26.920 --> 01:04:29.920
<v Speaker 2>And I agree it feels like they're a piece away

1350
01:04:30.039 --> 01:04:32.400
<v Speaker 2>right now having lost Paul George. But they're in a

1351
01:04:32.519 --> 01:04:37.599
<v Speaker 2>decent position with more flexibility now. Also, so could happen.

1352
01:04:37.840 --> 01:04:40.079
<v Speaker 1>And the West doesn't scare me like it scares everybody else.

1353
01:04:40.079 --> 01:04:42.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm not scared of the West. Also, we've made it.

1354
01:04:42.760 --> 01:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>We've made this is We got James Harden in season

1355
01:04:46.960 --> 01:04:49.480
<v Speaker 1>and never had chance to a chance to implement him.

1356
01:04:50.119 --> 01:04:52.079
<v Speaker 1>So I am also curious to see what happens, like

1357
01:04:52.119 --> 01:04:56.559
<v Speaker 1>these guys, guys are going place. That's something the Clippers

1358
01:04:56.599 --> 01:04:59.039
<v Speaker 1>do beautifully, has traveled together and bond and all of that.

1359
01:04:59.519 --> 01:05:01.880
<v Speaker 1>And you have to know that James Harden and Kawhi

1360
01:05:01.960 --> 01:05:06.239
<v Speaker 1>Leonard know whatever the question is about championship windows or

1361
01:05:06.559 --> 01:05:10.840
<v Speaker 1>bay windows or French doors, they really they they do

1362
01:05:11.079 --> 01:05:11.840
<v Speaker 1>need to put up.

1363
01:05:12.239 --> 01:05:12.440
<v Speaker 2>I have.

1364
01:05:14.079 --> 01:05:16.480
<v Speaker 3>I have a Kawhi Leonard question for both of you guys.

1365
01:05:19.119 --> 01:05:22.719
<v Speaker 3>Now mine is so dumb and not at all sports related.

1366
01:05:23.599 --> 01:05:26.800
<v Speaker 3>There was footage, now, there was footage of Kawhi Leonard

1367
01:05:26.840 --> 01:05:29.960
<v Speaker 3>and Paul George playing golf, hanging out in Hawaii. Do

1368
01:05:30.159 --> 01:05:33.840
<v Speaker 3>you know what Kawhi Leonard was drinking in this video?

1369
01:05:34.360 --> 01:05:36.719
<v Speaker 1>It happens to be my favorite drink. I know, I

1370
01:05:36.840 --> 01:05:37.639
<v Speaker 1>know what he called it.

1371
01:05:37.960 --> 01:05:38.840
<v Speaker 2>I know what he called it.

1372
01:05:38.960 --> 01:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>What do you call it?

1373
01:05:40.039 --> 01:05:40.679
<v Speaker 2>Goat juice?

1374
01:05:41.000 --> 01:05:42.119
<v Speaker 1>Goat juice?

1375
01:05:42.159 --> 01:05:44.440
<v Speaker 2>They asked what is that? And he said, like, this

1376
01:05:44.679 --> 01:05:47.559
<v Speaker 2>is goat juice. We met like greatest of all times.

1377
01:05:49.239 --> 01:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Arnold Palmer. It was an Arnold Palmer. Now, follow up question,

1378
01:05:52.760 --> 01:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>follow up question. What was on the bottom of that

1379
01:05:56.559 --> 01:05:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Arnold Palmer? Was it lemonade on the bottom or was

1380
01:06:00.119 --> 01:06:01.239
<v Speaker 1>it iced tea?

1381
01:06:03.440 --> 01:06:04.440
<v Speaker 2>You have to link this episod.

1382
01:06:05.840 --> 01:06:08.199
<v Speaker 1>Think about when I had Arnold Palmer at your house

1383
01:06:08.440 --> 01:06:09.960
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks ago at the Tiki Hut.

1384
01:06:11.880 --> 01:06:13.679
<v Speaker 2>I would say lemonade.

1385
01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, lemonade, That's what I was gonna say. Oh wait, no, oh,

1386
01:06:18.079 --> 01:06:22.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry. It was iced tea on the bottom

1387
01:06:22.280 --> 01:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>and lemonade on the top. Who drinks it? Arnold Palmer

1388
01:06:25.599 --> 01:06:29.159
<v Speaker 1>like that? It's insanity. Everyone knows you put lemonade on

1389
01:06:29.239 --> 01:06:31.840
<v Speaker 1>the bottom and then iced tea on the top. But anyway,

1390
01:06:32.920 --> 01:06:37.679
<v Speaker 1>what's your real what's your goat juice with iced tea

1391
01:06:37.960 --> 01:06:40.639
<v Speaker 1>on the bottom and lemonade on the top. I've never

1392
01:06:40.679 --> 01:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>in my life seen anything that's crazy.

1393
01:06:42.079 --> 01:06:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Good enough for Kauhi? Good enough?

1394
01:06:43.400 --> 01:06:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay, what's your Kawhi question?

1395
01:06:46.159 --> 01:06:48.559
<v Speaker 2>I heard you guys talk about the little management stuff

1396
01:06:48.559 --> 01:06:50.960
<v Speaker 2>coming into this season and how they could treat him.

1397
01:06:50.960 --> 01:06:53.400
<v Speaker 2>In fact, we started off this podcast bringing it up.

1398
01:06:55.159 --> 01:06:58.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know at this point. I'm open to a

1399
01:06:58.559 --> 01:07:01.119
<v Speaker 2>lot when it comes to Kawhi. I used to shun

1400
01:07:01.239 --> 01:07:04.079
<v Speaker 2>and dismiss people who say, just wait to the playoffs

1401
01:07:04.079 --> 01:07:06.760
<v Speaker 2>and bring him back in March or late April. Well,

1402
01:07:06.760 --> 01:07:09.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you could do that. I don't think

1403
01:07:09.719 --> 01:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>you could do that either, because you just won't make

1404
01:07:13.039 --> 01:07:15.800
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs. He has to play some to at least

1405
01:07:15.840 --> 01:07:19.440
<v Speaker 2>stay afloat and be in the hunt. But I don't

1406
01:07:19.480 --> 01:07:21.360
<v Speaker 2>know if he's playing a back to back all season long,

1407
01:07:21.519 --> 01:07:22.679
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know if he shouldn't be.

1408
01:07:23.039 --> 01:07:23.760
<v Speaker 1>He shouldn't.

1409
01:07:24.360 --> 01:07:26.760
<v Speaker 2>There's sixteen of them. I think that's sixteen games right

1410
01:07:26.800 --> 01:07:28.960
<v Speaker 2>off the top. That means the most games he could

1411
01:07:28.960 --> 01:07:32.440
<v Speaker 2>play is then sixty six if he's available all the

1412
01:07:32.519 --> 01:07:33.480
<v Speaker 2>other onehoa and we.

1413
01:07:33.800 --> 01:07:36.679
<v Speaker 1>Don't have a backup forward that can play. But here's

1414
01:07:36.760 --> 01:07:39.920
<v Speaker 1>this k We've got nothing else. Here's the thing, boys,

1415
01:07:40.119 --> 01:07:44.119
<v Speaker 1>this new stupid rule. He's gonna play the participation he's

1416
01:07:44.199 --> 01:07:46.119
<v Speaker 1>back to back. I don't play them he played.

1417
01:07:46.679 --> 01:07:50.000
<v Speaker 2>I think you can get an exception from those if

1418
01:07:50.199 --> 01:07:52.599
<v Speaker 2>there's the right medical report, because that's what he got

1419
01:07:52.639 --> 01:07:54.599
<v Speaker 2>when he first came over to the Clippers. The NBA

1420
01:07:54.719 --> 01:07:57.000
<v Speaker 2>doctors had to look at it, sign off and say, okay,

1421
01:07:57.079 --> 01:07:59.639
<v Speaker 2>it's fair for him not to play back to backs.

1422
01:07:59.679 --> 01:08:01.239
<v Speaker 2>I think it could happen again.

1423
01:08:01.320 --> 01:08:02.199
<v Speaker 1>I hope it happens.

1424
01:08:02.480 --> 01:08:05.719
<v Speaker 2>If there's any guy that should get a pass when

1425
01:08:05.760 --> 01:08:07.639
<v Speaker 2>it comes to this. At this point, it has to

1426
01:08:07.760 --> 01:08:12.440
<v Speaker 2>be Kawhi. Obviously he's injury prone. Obviously, try to get

1427
01:08:12.559 --> 01:08:14.800
<v Speaker 2>him in a playoff series is also good for the

1428
01:08:15.000 --> 01:08:17.880
<v Speaker 2>NBA and their ratings. So anything you can do to

1429
01:08:17.960 --> 01:08:18.600
<v Speaker 2>make that happen.

1430
01:08:18.680 --> 01:08:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Please, sixteen back to backs, so that means he would

1431
01:08:22.239 --> 01:08:24.199
<v Speaker 1>be available for eight and not available for.

1432
01:08:24.319 --> 01:08:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Eight basically, Uh no, no, no, that means he's available.

1433
01:08:29.520 --> 01:08:31.279
<v Speaker 2>There's sixteen back to backs.

1434
01:08:31.239 --> 01:08:32.880
<v Speaker 1>So that's thirty two games.

1435
01:08:33.039 --> 01:08:38.079
<v Speaker 3>Ah, okay, okay, so sixteen games available for sixteen available available,

1436
01:08:38.159 --> 01:08:39.399
<v Speaker 3>unavailable for sixteen.

1437
01:08:39.520 --> 01:08:42.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and as we all know, eighty two minus sixteen

1438
01:08:42.800 --> 01:08:49.760
<v Speaker 1>is sixty six and that's his sweet spot. So by god,

1439
01:08:49.880 --> 01:08:52.560
<v Speaker 1>do it. I just don't think they will sadly ad him.

1440
01:08:52.600 --> 01:08:55.439
<v Speaker 2>I just don't think well, the Clippers, ABA.

1441
01:08:55.159 --> 01:08:56.720
<v Speaker 1>The NBA, the NBA.

1442
01:08:57.000 --> 01:08:59.159
<v Speaker 3>I don't think the NBA signs off on it because

1443
01:08:59.159 --> 01:09:01.800
<v Speaker 3>they hate us because we have sixteen back to backs

1444
01:09:01.960 --> 01:09:04.760
<v Speaker 3>because they don't like us. So I and then last

1445
01:09:04.800 --> 01:09:07.279
<v Speaker 3>season he played in back to backs and then he

1446
01:09:07.359 --> 01:09:10.640
<v Speaker 3>got like when you know the guy cann Why that's

1447
01:09:10.640 --> 01:09:11.119
<v Speaker 3>what I'm saying.

1448
01:09:11.319 --> 01:09:13.119
<v Speaker 1>You know he can give you sixty Just pay the

1449
01:09:13.239 --> 01:09:16.359
<v Speaker 1>damn fine or whatever it is. Deal with the ramifications

1450
01:09:16.399 --> 01:09:17.159
<v Speaker 1>and the repercus.

1451
01:09:17.359 --> 01:09:19.800
<v Speaker 2>It's not like Balmer would be opposed to just paying

1452
01:09:19.840 --> 01:09:22.000
<v Speaker 2>the fine if it came down to something like that,

1453
01:09:22.199 --> 01:09:24.840
<v Speaker 2>and they truly felt like this is what's best for Kawhi.

1454
01:09:25.159 --> 01:09:26.119
<v Speaker 2>NBA be damned.

1455
01:09:26.680 --> 01:09:27.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

1456
01:09:27.520 --> 01:09:29.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how they go about that, but I

1457
01:09:29.680 --> 01:09:31.239
<v Speaker 2>think we've tried everything at this point.

1458
01:09:31.439 --> 01:09:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1459
01:09:32.119 --> 01:09:35.359
<v Speaker 2>So if he can only play sixty games in the season,

1460
01:09:35.560 --> 01:09:38.880
<v Speaker 2>and you set that number going in, I'd be fine

1461
01:09:38.920 --> 01:09:40.199
<v Speaker 2>with managing him that.

1462
01:09:40.239 --> 01:09:41.399
<v Speaker 1>West what Toronto did.

1463
01:09:42.399 --> 01:09:44.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they could. They had a plan with their doctors,

1464
01:09:44.520 --> 01:09:46.079
<v Speaker 2>and it worked out. Even though he was kind of

1465
01:09:46.159 --> 01:09:48.119
<v Speaker 2>limping at the end of that playoff run, he did.

1466
01:09:48.119 --> 01:09:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Make it through. But it is always there's no good

1467
01:09:52.720 --> 01:09:55.439
<v Speaker 1>answers here, my friends. Yeah, I mean the good the

1468
01:09:55.520 --> 01:09:58.560
<v Speaker 1>good answer is if he takes off back to backs, honestly, like.

1469
01:09:59.000 --> 01:10:01.039
<v Speaker 2>The guy that's one, that's number one.

1470
01:10:01.239 --> 01:10:01.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1471
01:10:02.000 --> 01:10:04.840
<v Speaker 3>But I just unfortunately, because of the silly new rule

1472
01:10:04.880 --> 01:10:07.279
<v Speaker 3>and they call it the Kawhi rule, I just don't

1473
01:10:07.279 --> 01:10:09.760
<v Speaker 3>think the league goes along with it, sadly, and so

1474
01:10:09.960 --> 01:10:13.319
<v Speaker 3>I want desperately for him to only play sixty regular

1475
01:10:13.399 --> 01:10:17.079
<v Speaker 3>season games, sit out these sixteens and play sixty six honestly,

1476
01:10:17.119 --> 01:10:20.439
<v Speaker 3>play sixty like sit out another six, pick another six

1477
01:10:20.520 --> 01:10:21.159
<v Speaker 3>to sit out.

1478
01:10:21.319 --> 01:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Give me sixty and be available in the postseason. Man.

1479
01:10:24.600 --> 01:10:27.680
<v Speaker 2>As you guys mentioned though on the clip cast, we're

1480
01:10:27.720 --> 01:10:30.479
<v Speaker 2>gonna find out immediately because they have two back to

1481
01:10:30.600 --> 01:10:31.920
<v Speaker 2>backs on the first sixty games.

1482
01:10:32.359 --> 01:10:36.640
<v Speaker 1>It is ridiculous, man, It's like and how it's how

1483
01:10:36.680 --> 01:10:39.920
<v Speaker 1>it's one of the toughest angles and we have our

1484
01:10:40.000 --> 01:10:47.520
<v Speaker 1>own seventeen at all. It didn't get better at all. Honestly,

1485
01:10:47.640 --> 01:10:51.319
<v Speaker 1>no day games is better. Yeah, okay is better.

1486
01:10:51.720 --> 01:10:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I didn't like. I know it had some effect, but

1487
01:10:56.039 --> 01:10:59.000
<v Speaker 2>at some point if you have so many of those

1488
01:10:59.119 --> 01:11:01.239
<v Speaker 2>day games, and that was the complaint, right, we have

1489
01:11:01.399 --> 01:11:03.840
<v Speaker 2>too many of these matinee games. Yeah, well, if you

1490
01:11:04.000 --> 01:11:06.840
<v Speaker 2>have so many of them, how did you never get

1491
01:11:07.000 --> 01:11:09.680
<v Speaker 2>used to them? If you had so many, How did

1492
01:11:09.720 --> 01:11:11.560
<v Speaker 2>you never find a rhythm with them? If you had

1493
01:11:11.680 --> 01:11:12.479
<v Speaker 2>so many of them?

1494
01:11:12.680 --> 01:11:16.279
<v Speaker 1>I bet I've been games. You don't do the game.

1495
01:11:16.359 --> 01:11:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I think if you looked at the.

1496
01:11:18.199 --> 01:11:21.319
<v Speaker 3>Win loss ratio of day games, it wouldn't be as

1497
01:11:21.520 --> 01:11:23.840
<v Speaker 3>bad as everyone makes it out to be.

1498
01:11:24.159 --> 01:11:25.680
<v Speaker 1>All these winning seasons in a row.

1499
01:11:25.960 --> 01:11:29.479
<v Speaker 3>You can't tank every day game and still come out

1500
01:11:29.560 --> 01:11:31.319
<v Speaker 3>on top with as many day games as we had,

1501
01:11:31.520 --> 01:11:33.880
<v Speaker 3>So I bet you, yeah, sure we probably won more

1502
01:11:33.880 --> 01:11:37.119
<v Speaker 3>at night, but I bet you we were over five hundred.

1503
01:11:37.199 --> 01:11:39.239
<v Speaker 3>I bet you we were a winning ball club during

1504
01:11:39.279 --> 01:11:41.399
<v Speaker 3>the day, not by a lot, but I bet you

1505
01:11:41.479 --> 01:11:42.279
<v Speaker 3>we were a winning.

1506
01:11:42.079 --> 01:11:44.159
<v Speaker 1>Team still and now we don't have to worry about it. Yeah,

1507
01:11:44.840 --> 01:11:46.720
<v Speaker 1>which is not that bad a stat until you realize

1508
01:11:46.760 --> 01:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>that we're talking about being around five hundred on a

1509
01:11:50.199 --> 01:11:54.279
<v Speaker 1>certain type of home game, right, So I mean, yeah, okay,

1510
01:11:54.319 --> 01:11:56.199
<v Speaker 1>we were close to five hundred, but that those are

1511
01:11:56.359 --> 01:11:59.960
<v Speaker 1>your games. Were you like to think you go higher

1512
01:12:00.119 --> 01:12:01.079
<v Speaker 1>than five hundred at home?

1513
01:12:01.439 --> 01:12:04.079
<v Speaker 2>And they might have lost to under five hundred teams

1514
01:12:04.159 --> 01:12:09.239
<v Speaker 2>more frequently in those matinee games too, but way to know. Yeah,

1515
01:12:10.079 --> 01:12:11.319
<v Speaker 2>a couple more for you guys.

1516
01:12:11.720 --> 01:12:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Good.

1517
01:12:12.319 --> 01:12:15.960
<v Speaker 2>How much do your emotions from a Clippers game affect

1518
01:12:16.039 --> 01:12:19.439
<v Speaker 2>you throughout the week, depending on the win or a loss.

1519
01:12:19.600 --> 01:12:21.880
<v Speaker 3>I once took a friend of mine to a Clipper

1520
01:12:21.960 --> 01:12:24.520
<v Speaker 3>game and we lost kind of brutally. Maybe we had

1521
01:12:24.560 --> 01:12:27.199
<v Speaker 3>to lead in whatever, it doesn't matter. I was walking

1522
01:12:27.319 --> 01:12:31.000
<v Speaker 3>back to my car. I used to always park on Twelfth.

1523
01:12:30.800 --> 01:12:33.960
<v Speaker 1>And Hope because you gotta have hope, and Twelfth led

1524
01:12:34.159 --> 01:12:37.920
<v Speaker 1>right to my entrance and So anyway, after the Clipper loss,

1525
01:12:38.359 --> 01:12:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I was crossing the train tracks there on twelfth and

1526
01:12:41.800 --> 01:12:45.119
<v Speaker 1>something Figureoa maybe or just past whatever that is. And

1527
01:12:45.239 --> 01:12:48.319
<v Speaker 1>I literally laid down on the train tracks after the game,

1528
01:12:48.600 --> 01:12:50.720
<v Speaker 1>and my friend was like, no, Chris, no, Chris, and

1529
01:12:50.800 --> 01:12:52.600
<v Speaker 1>he picked me up. Now, obviously I wasn't gonna do it.

1530
01:12:53.000 --> 01:12:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't gonna do.

1531
01:12:54.000 --> 01:12:56.479
<v Speaker 2>Damsel distress tie down on the train tracks.

1532
01:12:56.520 --> 01:12:58.600
<v Speaker 1>But I laid down on the tracks after that game.

1533
01:12:58.640 --> 01:13:00.800
<v Speaker 1>And Hank has been with me when I literally have

1534
01:13:01.319 --> 01:13:04.159
<v Speaker 1>torn How many jerseys did you throw away at the

1535
01:13:04.319 --> 01:13:09.560
<v Speaker 1>autograph game of a season autograph jersey candy autograph autograph otem?

1536
01:13:09.600 --> 01:13:12.239
<v Speaker 1>I bet, I mean, I don't think I know. I

1537
01:13:12.279 --> 01:13:15.840
<v Speaker 1>would have never done that. I did throw an odom away.

1538
01:13:17.079 --> 01:13:19.079
<v Speaker 1>Don't you dare say that that's that can't be true?

1539
01:13:19.239 --> 01:13:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Was that after a second stint with the Yeah, and

1540
01:13:22.399 --> 01:13:25.880
<v Speaker 1>it was at the end of a regular season heartbreak loss,

1541
01:13:26.039 --> 01:13:28.079
<v Speaker 1>and then you were like suddenly you didn't have a

1542
01:13:28.159 --> 01:13:29.640
<v Speaker 1>jersey on and you were gone. By the way, you

1543
01:13:29.680 --> 01:13:34.119
<v Speaker 1>didn't say good night either, No, I were gone done.

1544
01:13:34.159 --> 01:13:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I got to go to Hooters by myself. I agree

1545
01:13:36.760 --> 01:13:40.960
<v Speaker 1>with that, but I I dis I disagree that it

1546
01:13:41.479 --> 01:13:43.680
<v Speaker 1>is a long time at him. I disagree that it

1547
01:13:43.760 --> 01:13:46.319
<v Speaker 1>was an Odem jersey because Okay, most jerseys that I

1548
01:13:46.479 --> 01:13:49.640
<v Speaker 1>own of any player in any sport is lamar Odem

1549
01:13:49.680 --> 01:13:53.279
<v Speaker 1>Clippers jerseys, and second is Blake. So I think, yeah,

1550
01:13:53.319 --> 01:13:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I probably threw out of Richardson jersey for like, you

1551
01:13:55.680 --> 01:13:57.319
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, I threw out some jersey. I

1552
01:13:57.399 --> 01:14:01.239
<v Speaker 1>threw out multiple jerseys out of disgust and and ripped

1553
01:14:01.279 --> 01:14:04.479
<v Speaker 1>T shirts. And yes, it's ruined my It's ruined my

1554
01:14:04.680 --> 01:14:08.359
<v Speaker 1>next day, and it's ruined my weekend. However, it has

1555
01:14:08.439 --> 01:14:11.880
<v Speaker 1>also made my month getting one win. You know what

1556
01:14:11.880 --> 01:14:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, It's made my year beating the championship Celtics

1557
01:14:15.920 --> 01:14:19.039
<v Speaker 1>on a Baron Davis buzzer beater. So it's like, for

1558
01:14:19.199 --> 01:14:21.880
<v Speaker 1>all the negatives, it didn't give me a wife and kid,

1559
01:14:22.199 --> 01:14:25.399
<v Speaker 1>so it's like the positives, it gave me a best

1560
01:14:25.439 --> 01:14:29.800
<v Speaker 1>friend for God's sake. Like the positives vastly outweigh the cons.

1561
01:14:29.920 --> 01:14:31.680
<v Speaker 1>And we still haven't won a damn chip. So when

1562
01:14:31.760 --> 01:14:34.279
<v Speaker 1>we win the championship, I'll be the happiest man on

1563
01:14:34.359 --> 01:14:37.279
<v Speaker 1>planet Earth. I will cry tears of joy every single day.

1564
01:14:37.359 --> 01:14:39.520
<v Speaker 1>And now we don't have to have that stupid parade

1565
01:14:39.720 --> 01:14:43.960
<v Speaker 1>on Figueroa. It's Inglewood, Baby, We're gonna be parading around Inglewood,

1566
01:14:44.039 --> 01:14:49.880
<v Speaker 1>led by Mayor Butts, Henry Dittman's favorite. And by the way,

1567
01:14:50.439 --> 01:14:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I let it go immediately. Really yeah the next morning.

1568
01:14:56.840 --> 01:14:59.439
<v Speaker 1>The next morning, I'm bummed that night, and then usually

1569
01:14:59.439 --> 01:15:02.399
<v Speaker 1>I wake up and go, okay, here we go when

1570
01:15:03.039 --> 01:15:07.560
<v Speaker 1>but I don't, oh no, no, no devastates me. That

1571
01:15:07.680 --> 01:15:10.399
<v Speaker 1>devastates me. But I also don't like the podcast after

1572
01:15:10.479 --> 01:15:12.920
<v Speaker 1>a loss. I hate it. I gotta be honest. I

1573
01:15:13.079 --> 01:15:17.640
<v Speaker 1>hate it. Now that I'm older, I'm like, it doesn't room.

1574
01:15:17.800 --> 01:15:21.560
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't room me anymore, like the little numb we're calloused. Exactly.

1575
01:15:21.800 --> 01:15:24.880
<v Speaker 1>They've numbed me to it. They've me Yeah, my family

1576
01:15:25.000 --> 01:15:26.840
<v Speaker 1>is healthy, my friends are healthy. I can I can

1577
01:15:26.920 --> 01:15:29.279
<v Speaker 1>usually get past it. But to to your point, those

1578
01:15:29.319 --> 01:15:33.720
<v Speaker 1>bigger losses they hurt also show show business in Hollywood

1579
01:15:33.760 --> 01:15:38.920
<v Speaker 1>have chewed me up and oh yeah, way more times

1580
01:15:38.920 --> 01:15:39.800
<v Speaker 1>than the Clippers ever.

1581
01:15:39.880 --> 01:15:43.359
<v Speaker 2>Did you guys have uh have weathered the storm or

1582
01:15:43.399 --> 01:15:44.720
<v Speaker 2>failure for some time?

1583
01:15:45.199 --> 01:15:47.239
<v Speaker 1>Exactly? Okay? Uh?

1584
01:15:47.680 --> 01:15:49.199
<v Speaker 2>Are we going to have more fun next season with

1585
01:15:49.279 --> 01:15:50.239
<v Speaker 2>lowered expectations?

1586
01:15:51.239 --> 01:15:54.279
<v Speaker 3>Oh oh are you asking Henry manage your expectations for

1587
01:15:54.439 --> 01:15:55.039
<v Speaker 3>Prank Dittman.

1588
01:15:58.319 --> 01:16:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Every game means so much more because just to stay afloat,

1589
01:16:02.760 --> 01:16:04.840
<v Speaker 2>they need to win like they're gonna be on a

1590
01:16:04.960 --> 01:16:06.199
<v Speaker 2>razor's edge all the time.

1591
01:16:06.560 --> 01:16:09.600
<v Speaker 1>No, I think it's I think that with Paul George

1592
01:16:09.680 --> 01:16:12.680
<v Speaker 1>gone well by the way last year, I felt like

1593
01:16:12.720 --> 01:16:14.720
<v Speaker 1>we had less expectations at the end of the day

1594
01:16:14.760 --> 01:16:17.000
<v Speaker 1>even with James until James Harden came in, people were like,

1595
01:16:17.039 --> 01:16:20.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, they couldn't stay healthy. I think it'll

1596
01:16:20.479 --> 01:16:23.199
<v Speaker 1>be super fun in the new stadium. I think we

1597
01:16:23.319 --> 01:16:26.239
<v Speaker 1>have We have lots of young guys and guys with

1598
01:16:27.199 --> 01:16:29.000
<v Speaker 1>who we haven't seen their ceiling yet in the league

1599
01:16:29.039 --> 01:16:31.119
<v Speaker 1>who have joined the team that are gonna be really fun.

1600
01:16:32.960 --> 01:16:35.520
<v Speaker 1>The only thing that could make it heartbreaking and disappointing, frankly,

1601
01:16:35.680 --> 01:16:38.279
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be if Kawhi Leonard can't finish the season.

1602
01:16:38.920 --> 01:16:40.560
<v Speaker 1>That's the only thing that's gonna make the season not

1603
01:16:40.680 --> 01:16:42.439
<v Speaker 1>fun for me is if we get another season where

1604
01:16:42.439 --> 01:16:44.520
<v Speaker 1>it looks like we're in the right place and then

1605
01:16:44.680 --> 01:16:49.039
<v Speaker 1>suddenly without ever seeing his leg turnaround sideways or any

1606
01:16:49.079 --> 01:16:51.520
<v Speaker 1>the other dramatic things we've seen with Star players going down,

1607
01:16:51.840 --> 01:16:53.840
<v Speaker 1>he just seems to be injured. We hear after the

1608
01:16:53.880 --> 01:16:56.680
<v Speaker 1>game after playing a quarter that that somehow makes it

1609
01:16:56.800 --> 01:17:00.039
<v Speaker 1>worse for me. Like we were in the building and

1610
01:17:00.119 --> 01:17:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Sean Livingston went down, we were watching the game when

1611
01:17:03.000 --> 01:17:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Paul George went down. These things are devastating, but at

1612
01:17:05.760 --> 01:17:08.720
<v Speaker 1>least that game, at least you're saying something and so

1613
01:17:08.880 --> 01:17:11.199
<v Speaker 1>to instead be just playing a game and he plays great,

1614
01:17:11.199 --> 01:17:14.520
<v Speaker 1>and then the next night you're like he what he he?

1615
01:17:14.680 --> 01:17:17.399
<v Speaker 1>Why Wyland, Like it's like he's just not gonna he's

1616
01:17:17.439 --> 01:17:20.520
<v Speaker 1>just hurt. That somehow makes it worse because you're not

1617
01:17:20.680 --> 01:17:22.800
<v Speaker 1>just watching for an injury. You just don't know when

1618
01:17:22.840 --> 01:17:24.920
<v Speaker 1>he walks off the court. If that was it for

1619
01:17:25.000 --> 01:17:29.039
<v Speaker 1>the season, I mean after thirteen winning seasons, like Balmer's

1620
01:17:29.119 --> 01:17:31.680
<v Speaker 1>never owned the team and had a losing season. So

1621
01:17:31.800 --> 01:17:35.159
<v Speaker 1>it's like, I just don't it doesn't equate to me

1622
01:17:35.720 --> 01:17:39.239
<v Speaker 1>that will be a forty win or less team. So

1623
01:17:39.479 --> 01:17:42.199
<v Speaker 1>if that were to happen, that would absolutely devastate me,

1624
01:17:42.359 --> 01:17:46.840
<v Speaker 1>especially that I would be crushed. I would be absolutely crushed. Yeah, no,

1625
01:17:46.920 --> 01:17:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna be that. We're not gonna be that. No, No,

1626
01:17:49.000 --> 01:17:50.239
<v Speaker 1>not at all. Why would we be. I mean, like

1627
01:17:50.560 --> 01:17:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Balmer will buy his way to a winning season. I

1628
01:17:53.079 --> 01:17:55.640
<v Speaker 1>promise you that. But I also think we have great

1629
01:17:55.720 --> 01:17:58.960
<v Speaker 1>pieces that we haven't They just haven't been implemented. We're

1630
01:17:58.960 --> 01:18:01.119
<v Speaker 1>gonna learn a lot real fast. I mean, I've never

1631
01:18:01.199 --> 01:18:04.880
<v Speaker 1>been more interested. I've been more excited about a preseason,

1632
01:18:06.479 --> 01:18:08.439
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think I've ever been more interested in

1633
01:18:08.520 --> 01:18:10.640
<v Speaker 1>seeing how the pieces fit than I am this season.

1634
01:18:11.000 --> 01:18:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I wonder, like, are we going to miss and long

1635
01:18:14.960 --> 01:18:16.960
<v Speaker 1>for Paul George? I just I just don't think so.

1636
01:18:17.239 --> 01:18:19.560
<v Speaker 1>But like I loved him, We're going to day. I

1637
01:18:19.640 --> 01:18:21.760
<v Speaker 1>love this play. He was my favorite Clipper during the

1638
01:18:21.840 --> 01:18:23.600
<v Speaker 1>time he was here. As far as his style of play,

1639
01:18:23.960 --> 01:18:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I loved him. I just wanted more forehead. His forehead

1640
01:18:27.079 --> 01:18:29.800
<v Speaker 1>was way too short, like that was very distracting to me.

1641
01:18:30.199 --> 01:18:33.039
<v Speaker 1>I need this. Hairlines so good, Yes, Haroline was so

1642
01:18:33.159 --> 01:18:35.840
<v Speaker 1>low and so good, Like it was very distracting to me.

1643
01:18:36.680 --> 01:18:39.279
<v Speaker 1>I like, get him gone, get put a headband on,

1644
01:18:39.560 --> 01:18:41.840
<v Speaker 1>or get out of here, go to Philly. But let's

1645
01:18:41.840 --> 01:18:43.520
<v Speaker 1>see what happens. Let's see what happens. Boys.

1646
01:18:44.119 --> 01:18:49.199
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of haircuts, bad ones, good ones, David Ones, hairlines.

1647
01:18:49.920 --> 01:18:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize this till I did a little bit

1648
01:18:51.960 --> 01:18:56.000
<v Speaker 2>of research before this episode. Chris Wilde is in a

1649
01:18:56.159 --> 01:18:59.720
<v Speaker 2>series that made up some of my fondest memories when

1650
01:18:59.760 --> 01:19:03.720
<v Speaker 2>it came into basketball commercials. Ever, and I was in

1651
01:19:03.800 --> 01:19:07.359
<v Speaker 2>northern California at the time. I had no idea who

1652
01:19:07.479 --> 01:19:08.239
<v Speaker 2>this guy was.

1653
01:19:09.880 --> 01:19:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Grace.

1654
01:19:11.159 --> 01:19:12.640
<v Speaker 2>I've been thinking about.

1655
01:19:14.520 --> 01:19:17.319
<v Speaker 1>Was it Morris and Jerome? What were their names? Alan

1656
01:19:17.439 --> 01:19:19.319
<v Speaker 1>and Jerome? I don't know if I was Allen. I

1657
01:19:19.359 --> 01:19:22.039
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I was Jerome. We never knew, we don't.

1658
01:19:22.079 --> 01:19:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know to this day if I was Alan

1659
01:19:23.720 --> 01:19:24.199
<v Speaker 1>or Jerome.

1660
01:19:24.640 --> 01:19:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Next to the original Mike's Hard Lemonade commercials that were

1661
01:19:28.159 --> 01:19:32.159
<v Speaker 2>fantastically creative. These were my favorite commercials as a kid

1662
01:19:32.279 --> 01:19:35.640
<v Speaker 2>growing up, and I found a couple of them online

1663
01:19:35.680 --> 01:19:37.880
<v Speaker 2>on YouTube, and I just would like to play one

1664
01:19:38.359 --> 01:19:41.960
<v Speaker 2>and revisit things here because who, as last year should

1665
01:19:41.960 --> 01:19:46.159
<v Speaker 2>have been you, Yop, I can't believe this is Chris,

1666
01:19:47.199 --> 01:19:48.239
<v Speaker 2>this is a this is a.

1667
01:19:50.560 --> 01:19:56.239
<v Speaker 1>Dragon shack attack. I would really showing up my magic

1668
01:19:57.439 --> 01:19:58.560
<v Speaker 1>much over High Team.

1669
01:19:59.319 --> 01:20:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, a oldka, but they ain't got the Allen iverson Grace.

1670
01:20:02.760 --> 01:20:05.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, if I was playing them, I'd be punishing them,

1671
01:20:05.399 --> 01:20:06.000
<v Speaker 2>pushing them.

1672
01:20:06.239 --> 01:20:09.199
<v Speaker 1>They gonna they can stop this, You cannot stop this.

1673
01:20:11.880 --> 01:20:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm like Cake and I'm deeper than John Take in

1674
01:20:17.000 --> 01:20:18.680
<v Speaker 1>this circle. The hell? Wow?

1675
01:20:20.399 --> 01:20:25.720
<v Speaker 2>How hell do those commercials like? Honestly, I thought they

1676
01:20:25.760 --> 01:20:28.640
<v Speaker 2>would look worse with the super posed stuff, given that

1677
01:20:28.720 --> 01:20:30.239
<v Speaker 2>it's twenty whatever years later.

1678
01:20:30.439 --> 01:20:32.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we made him in two thousand years claim.

1679
01:20:32.720 --> 01:20:34.760
<v Speaker 2>I was like, how the f did they do this?

1680
01:20:34.920 --> 01:20:37.359
<v Speaker 2>This looks really good and it still looks decent enough

1681
01:20:37.479 --> 01:20:38.199
<v Speaker 2>and fun enough.

1682
01:20:38.760 --> 01:20:43.079
<v Speaker 1>Where did you? How did this happen? So they auditioned

1683
01:20:43.119 --> 01:20:47.039
<v Speaker 1>in New York and La. Okay. So the other actors

1684
01:20:47.159 --> 01:20:51.000
<v Speaker 1>name is Dragon aka Eric Weiner, and he was living

1685
01:20:51.039 --> 01:20:51.479
<v Speaker 1>in Brooklyn.

1686
01:20:51.560 --> 01:20:54.399
<v Speaker 3>They cast him out of New York. They cast me

1687
01:20:54.640 --> 01:20:56.439
<v Speaker 3>out of Los Angeles. They had me go to the

1688
01:20:56.560 --> 01:21:00.359
<v Speaker 3>Hollywood y to see if I could actually been like

1689
01:21:00.800 --> 01:21:04.560
<v Speaker 3>kind of hoop and or at least look funny while hooping.

1690
01:21:05.079 --> 01:21:10.399
<v Speaker 3>So they cast me, they cast Eric Okay, they fly

1691
01:21:10.640 --> 01:21:12.680
<v Speaker 3>me to New York. We shot all these in New York,

1692
01:21:12.800 --> 01:21:14.840
<v Speaker 3>like we're on the stoop, We're at the playground where

1693
01:21:14.840 --> 01:21:17.000
<v Speaker 3>at the pizza polla don't we bought it?

1694
01:21:17.439 --> 01:21:20.079
<v Speaker 1>So we do like a Knicks commercial.

1695
01:21:20.720 --> 01:21:21.039
<v Speaker 2>We do.

1696
01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:28.039
<v Speaker 1>Utah Jazz commercial. I believe Malone Stockton. We do a Spurs.

1697
01:21:27.680 --> 01:21:29.720
<v Speaker 3>Commercial and we do an L word commercial, And we

1698
01:21:29.800 --> 01:21:33.159
<v Speaker 3>actually did two versions of the L word commercial where

1699
01:21:33.920 --> 01:21:36.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm an anti L word fan in one version and

1700
01:21:36.840 --> 01:21:39.479
<v Speaker 3>then I'm actually a fan in the other version.

1701
01:21:39.520 --> 01:21:42.760
<v Speaker 1>That took some acting. So they fly me.

1702
01:21:42.880 --> 01:21:46.119
<v Speaker 3>This is my first ever road gig in show business,

1703
01:21:46.159 --> 01:21:49.800
<v Speaker 3>where like it's a union job, Screen Actors Guild. They're

1704
01:21:49.880 --> 01:21:53.159
<v Speaker 3>flying me three thousand miles to set whatever. This first

1705
01:21:53.159 --> 01:21:55.039
<v Speaker 3>time I was ever flown first class in my life.

1706
01:21:55.239 --> 01:21:57.279
<v Speaker 3>It was the first time I was ever in first class.

1707
01:21:58.039 --> 01:22:00.319
<v Speaker 1>No one thought I belong there. They check my ticket

1708
01:22:00.399 --> 01:22:03.479
<v Speaker 1>like sixty seven times. I got free drinks, I got

1709
01:22:03.560 --> 01:22:07.479
<v Speaker 1>free everything. Is this real silver? Put it in your purse.

1710
01:22:07.600 --> 01:22:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Put it in your purse anyway. So I fly to

1711
01:22:10.039 --> 01:22:12.239
<v Speaker 1>New York City and I stay at the Sherry Netherland,

1712
01:22:12.239 --> 01:22:14.800
<v Speaker 1>which is like one of the nicest hotels by like

1713
01:22:15.079 --> 01:22:18.279
<v Speaker 1>the Fao Schwartz where like Tom Hanks played chopsticks with

1714
01:22:18.399 --> 01:22:21.039
<v Speaker 1>the piano on the floor, like it was epic and

1715
01:22:21.159 --> 01:22:24.720
<v Speaker 1>the first day was the easiest day of shooting in

1716
01:22:24.840 --> 01:22:28.640
<v Speaker 1>my life. It's just me and Eric ad libbing, riffing

1717
01:22:29.159 --> 01:22:31.960

1718
01:22:32.000 --> 01:22:35.079
<v Speaker 1>style about basketball. It was the best, and so I thought, man,

1719
01:22:35.159 --> 01:22:36.840
<v Speaker 1>this is gonna be the easiest gig of my life.

1720

<v Speaker 1>That night I go out and party with all my

1722
01:22:42.319 --> 01:22:45.159

<v Speaker 1>in character that that one day, like the one day

1747
01:23:55.319 --> 01:23:57.079
<v Speaker 1>is all the setups and then it was two days

1748
01:23:57.119 --> 01:23:59.880
<v Speaker 1>of special effects stuff and that one day we were

1749
01:23:59.880 --> 01:24:02.159
<v Speaker 1>just we never we never broke character. We were in

1750
01:24:02.239 --> 01:24:05.119
<v Speaker 1>those characters. And the directors like it was almost like

1751
01:24:05.159 --> 01:24:06.319
<v Speaker 1>they were like they had a lot to do.

1752
01:24:06.399 --> 01:24:08.039
<v Speaker 3>But like every now and again they'd be like what

1753
01:24:08.279 --> 01:24:10.399

1757
01:24:16.760 --> 01:24:19.239

1758
01:24:19.319 --> 01:24:21.359
<v Speaker 3>of it was ad lib, Like I think, like like

1759
01:24:21.640 --> 01:24:24.479
<v Speaker 3>it was so funny. They like they won all these awards,

1760
01:24:24.640 --> 01:24:26.680
<v Speaker 3>they won like best Writing, and I was like they

1761
01:24:26.720 --> 01:24:27.359
<v Speaker 3>didn't write.

1762
01:24:27.199 --> 01:24:30.840
<v Speaker 1>That, Like that's an amazing concept. It's an amazing concept,

1763
01:24:31.039 --> 01:24:34.239
<v Speaker 1>but they didn't. Like calling your best friend boo, that

1764
01:24:34.439 --> 01:24:35.319
<v Speaker 1>was not in the script.

1765
01:24:37.720 --> 01:24:40.079
<v Speaker 2>They should bring it back, like they's.

1766
01:24:40.000 --> 01:24:44.159
<v Speaker 3>Really almost gave us a movie like Bill and Ted's

1767
01:24:44.159 --> 01:24:48.319
<v Speaker 3>excellent adventure style, but it just it didn't happen almost. Yeah,

1787
01:25:30.600 --> 01:25:32.439
<v Speaker 2>all the time. I don't want to embarrass you, but

1790
01:25:38.439 --> 01:25:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Where would that be right now?

1791
01:25:40.279 --> 01:25:42.039
<v Speaker 1>Well, you can always see what I've got going on

1792
01:25:42.159 --> 01:25:45.279
<v Speaker 1>on my Instagram handle and my don't bother go into X.

1793
01:25:45.319 --> 01:25:47.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't post anything on X. I just hold my name.

1794
01:25:47.560 --> 01:25:48.840
<v Speaker 2>So I sold out.

1795
01:25:49.399 --> 01:25:50.079
<v Speaker 1>It's the worst.

1796
01:25:50.600 --> 01:25:54.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, follows, But like Illo Henry Dittman on IG on

1797
01:25:55.199 --> 01:25:58.239
<v Speaker 3>X and at LA clip Cast and La Clipcast, he

1798
01:25:58.319 --> 01:26:00.920
<v Speaker 3>always tells you what he's up to, you know, you know,

1799
01:26:01.039 --> 01:26:04.680
<v Speaker 3>definitely watch Hank's Prank Show on Netflix.

1800
01:26:04.720 --> 01:26:05.239
<v Speaker 1>It's so good.

1801
01:26:05.359 --> 01:26:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Prank Encounter. It's a great show. And then watch my

1802
01:26:09.640 --> 01:26:12.079
<v Speaker 3>movies on Netflix. If you say them in order, it

1803
01:26:12.239 --> 01:26:15.720
<v Speaker 3>kind of sounds dirty when we first met the Babysitter,

1804
01:26:16.199 --> 01:26:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Rim of the World, The Babysitter Killer, Queen tall Girl too.

1805
01:26:21.119 --> 01:26:23.439

1809
01:26:34.199 --> 01:26:36.439
<v Speaker 1>You don't need the exposition of why he's at the

1810
01:26:36.520 --> 01:26:37.000
<v Speaker 1>ren Fair.

1811
