1
00:00:09,199 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: What is going on? Clippers fans, Welcome to season three,

2
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,960
episode thirteen of Clips in Dip. We made it past

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:17,600
the heat wave.

4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,359
Speaker 2: Our brains were not functioning well enough to come together

5
00:00:20,399 --> 00:00:22,839
as a collective and talk about the Clippers.

6
00:00:23,679 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: So thanks for rocking with us.

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: I am Chuck Mockler, joined by Will Updyke and Adam Ausland.

8
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:31,640
We got some fun stuff today. If you're listening, thanks

9
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:34,560
for listening. If you're watching, thank you for watching. Throughout

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,479
the full experience. You can find us at YouTube dot

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,840
com Slash at Clippers Podcast. We got a bunch of

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,840
awesome fan questions to get to today. We're talking about

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,640
how this is James Harden's most leadership filled off season.

14
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:49,320
Then we're gonna talk to Pick and Roll, but before

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,000
we get into that, I think we have some Dips

16
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:53,600
to talk about as well too. Before we get into that.

17
00:00:53,759 --> 00:00:57,039
I see we have all survived the heat wave. Will

18
00:00:57,439 --> 00:00:59,560
how are you doing? And do you have anything you

19
00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:01,560
learned in the heat wave that you'd like to share?

20
00:01:01,679 --> 00:01:03,119
Could be about how to beat the heat, could be

21
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:04,799
about yourself. I feel like I was on like a

22
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:08,959
spiritual trek in a one hundred degree weather for a

23
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:09,359
week in.

24
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,879
Speaker 3: My brain terrible, terrible. I thinks are terrible.

25
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 4: A good tip to beat the heat is watch Michael

26
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,040
Man's Heat in a movie theater during the hottest part

27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,920
of the day, which Charles and I did, and he

28
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,280
was on a highlight on my weekend that second.

29
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Vista Theater is I think it still might

30
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,920
be showing it is showing heat. We watched it from

31
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,040
three to six thirty on Saturday, and again, I can't

32
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,079
think of a better way to beat that damn sign.

33
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,799
Speaker 4: Could stay at work a little bit later, which is

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,799
what I did yesterday. Not on purpose, mind you, but

35
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,439
it did get me out of the heat.

36
00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:53,079
Speaker 2: Adam, how are you? How's your brain? How did you

37
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:53,879
deal with the heat wave?

38
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,959
Speaker 5: I mean it's probably a little fraud. I had trouble.

39
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,480
I got really thankful when I saw it was going

40
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,400
to be ninety or whatever it was the last couple

41
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,760
of days, and I think that's what I learned. I

42
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:09,520
am glad that we don't live in a place where

43
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,280
it's like this consistently year round. Sorry, Arizona, We're looking

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:14,639
at you.

45
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: Shout out. Shout out to our Arizona listeners and our

46
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:19,159
buddy Pat who lives there. Yeah.

47
00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: I went to the Dodgers game on Monday and it

48
00:02:22,759 --> 00:02:26,919
was I think we got below ninety in this eighth inning,

49
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:31,960
which I love the boys in blue, but that was

50
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:32,840
maybe one of the refrigas.

51
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: They also got their ask king, did.

52
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:36,039
Speaker 5: You get like a frozen lemonade or ten of them?

53
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: I drank three beers.

54
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 5: That that's great for the heat, yeah.

55
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: Really good for the deer. And then I think I

56
00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:47,080
drank twelve gallons of water after I got hot. Ummm,

57
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:48,639
all right.

58
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,759
Speaker 2: We got some fantastic Clippers questions we got to get

59
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,159
into from our listeners. Thank you for sending these, as always,

60
00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:57,240
they're fantastic. We got a couple of questions kind of

61
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,520
about blowing the team up, which is interesting.

62
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: I feel like we kind of dealt with time.

63
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: It's Will's Will's oscillating between blow it Updyke and it's

64
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,120
our year, which I was.

65
00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 3: The thing is you get the chip and then you

66
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:15,120
move on to the new era.

67
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: You're skipping to get the chip.

68
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,719
Speaker 3: Part No, I'm saying you get the chip and then

69
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:20,719
on to the new era.

70
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,039
Speaker 5: You get the chip and then you dip. You just

71
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:25,319
get out there.

72
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,879
Speaker 2: You go early doing one year into it. So David

73
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:33,319
Hellman asks, if the team disappoints in the first half

74
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,400
of the season, do you expect the front office to

75
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,919
blow it up at the deadline. I think it's maybe

76
00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:42,520
important to contextualize what blow it up means.

77
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, so, what is that?

78
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,199
Speaker 2: Is it just trading Hardened and Kawai Because in my head,

79
00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:50,759
that's the only way that blowing this team up.

80
00:03:51,759 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: Which would satisfy that definition, which.

81
00:03:54,719 --> 00:03:56,639
Speaker 4: I gotta tell you, man, for a team that still

82
00:03:56,719 --> 00:04:00,080
doesn't control their own draft picks, I don't know how

83
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:04,159
much you're not getting draft equity for those guys like

84
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,000
you're I mean, you might get some, but not enough

85
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:11,560
to like rebuild a team that's even that's even close

86
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,520
to where the Clippers are at right now, you know, So,

87
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,079
I I don't know. Like again, I think this is

88
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:24,120
like this is a retooling period like that they just

89
00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:27,279
there isn't that assets or like I said, a big

90
00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:31,000
thing is the control of your own pick to to

91
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,399
really incentivize any major major change. I don't know where

92
00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:37,920
are you at with this, Adam.

93
00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:42,519
Speaker 5: I'm not saying under no circumstances with the trade Kawhi Leonard,

94
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,040
but I was listening to a Clippers podcast earlier today,

95
00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:50,279
it made me think about how he represents the first major, major,

96
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,680
big time free agent that they got and turning them

97
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,360
into a destination franchise.

98
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,639
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not saying that possible.

99
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, like, what are you getting? You're not like,

100
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:04,240
you're not that's no, you're not getting Like blow it up, ammo. I.

101
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,879
Speaker 5: I I just think the likelihood of them trading Kawhi

102
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,040
Leonard is extremely low. I know everything that happened with

103
00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:16,560
Blake Griffin, and we thought at that time there was

104
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,079
no chance they'd trade him. But I think this is

105
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,839
a little bit different because Kawhi they drafted Blake, Kawhi

106
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,920
chose to come here. I don't know if you can

107
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,040
do that and then bring in other free agents and

108
00:05:33,079 --> 00:05:35,839
not have them think in the back of their mind immediately, oh,

109
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:38,319
their cutthroat they could trade me at any time. I

110
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:40,759
don't think they can do it with Kawhi. Honestly, I'm

111
00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:44,040
not saying it's totally out of question, because you never know.

112
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,439
But to Will's point, what do you get it like

113
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,040
the Godfather offer isn't coming for him anyways, so that

114
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,560
makes it even easier for them to justify why you

115
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,680
should keep him because he represents the first player that

116
00:05:56,759 --> 00:06:00,600
shows the Clippers uh and they became a Destiny franchise

117
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:02,040
because because of him.

118
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 4: I do want to contextualize one thing with the Blake

119
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:09,279
Griffin offer, like or with the Blake Griffin deal, I

120
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,439
think Detroit was in a position where they wanted a

121
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,839
star or like they wanted a name more so than

122
00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:18,519
anyone else in the league. And I think they offered

123
00:06:18,519 --> 00:06:21,279
the Clippers a deal that there's no way in hell

124
00:06:21,399 --> 00:06:23,759
you say no to. But I don't think there was

125
00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:28,040
anyone bidding to anything close the Pistons were offering for

126
00:06:28,079 --> 00:06:31,399
Blake Griffin, considering you know how nice the draft picks

127
00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:33,639
and everything would be. I don't think anyone was offering

128
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,199
anything close. And I think if you're on the other

129
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,199
end of the line from that deal, I think a

130
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:41,879
lot of I think you're saying yes, like I think

131
00:06:42,079 --> 00:06:44,279
every most teams will say yes.

132
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,759
Speaker 5: They were opening up a new arena too at the time,

133
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,480
wasn't it Little Caesars just opening up then, so they

134
00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:52,319
had all the reasons to have to bring in somebody

135
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,040
to be a draw.

136
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,519
Speaker 2: The thing with Kawhi, like we're talking about like the

137
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,720
Godfather offer, Like you're like, so his contract does theoretically

138
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,959
make him easier to move if they were to trade

139
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,279
Kawi Leonard because it's under the max or whatever. But

140
00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:10,160
what team is a Kawhi Leonard away? That would give

141
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,560
us a ton of pit like because what's the hall?

142
00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:16,160
Do you think one first round pick and like a

143
00:07:16,199 --> 00:07:18,519
young guy and like it's not.

144
00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 5: I and probably somebody on a bad contract, right with

145
00:07:23,079 --> 00:07:23,959
those two things.

146
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,399
Speaker 2: Like pairing him with PJ. Tucker to just have like

147
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,639
this zombie roster where I think the other thing that

148
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,680
people need to take into account is like you can't

149
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,079
just have a bare bones roster and be like, well,

150
00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:37,319
our young guys are gonna get good. You have to

151
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,199
have pieces to help those guys get good, you know,

152
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,839
Like there's not like the Clippers are middling out right now,

153
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:47,000
which is better than bottoming out, especially if you're opening

154
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,319
a new arena, but they're not the offer they'd have

155
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,600
to trade both of them. And I don't think there's

156
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,160
a single Clippers fan who would be happy with whatever

157
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,399
return they got, a realistic return.

158
00:07:57,439 --> 00:07:58,399
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone.

159
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,959
Speaker 2: Would be like I felt good, we got two picks

160
00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:04,759
for Harden and Kawhi two bad contracts and like a

161
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,839
young guy who might be good, and maybe we have

162
00:08:06,879 --> 00:08:07,800
to get a new head coach.

163
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: Because Tyler doesn't want to deal with this bullshit rightfully.

164
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:14,319
Speaker 5: So which you just described with a team saying we

165
00:08:14,399 --> 00:08:17,319
can't just have young guys, we have to supplement some

166
00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:21,399
vets around them. I think that's what Houston believe last offseason. Yeah,

167
00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:23,480
which is why they brought in Dylan Brooks and Fred

168
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,399
Van Vliet to find out more about those other guys

169
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,160
if they're actually playing more competitive basketball, because now you

170
00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:33,879
have some solid bets around them. By the way, Houston

171
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,960
is the one team that I think that some people

172
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,960
have reported might have some interest in making a run

173
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,679
at Kawhi Leonard, and you could talk me into it

174
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,600
a little bit, but I still think it's extremely unlikely.

175
00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: I think he says no too. I don't think wants

176
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,000
to go to play in Houston.

177
00:08:51,639 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 5: He doesn't have a no trade clause though.

178
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: Oh that's right.

179
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 5: I think the only two guys that do are Lebron

180
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:03,519
and Bradley Beal. There might be one other.

181
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: How about Bradley Beal's agent. Anxious clip fan basically asked

182
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,559
the same thing. They say, if the team underperforms, would

183
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,080
be viable to trade Kawhi and Harden for assets? Knowing

184
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,399
Balmer and given the new arena, would it be worth

185
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,039
the organization losing big names for a two to three

186
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:28,240
season rebuild. Should we expect a Teamman and Zoo led team. No,

187
00:09:28,879 --> 00:09:30,559
I don't think we should expect a team man and

188
00:09:30,639 --> 00:09:34,120
Zoo led team. That's not what they're built for. And

189
00:09:34,159 --> 00:09:38,720
I don't mean that disrespectfully. They're not the star, you

190
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,480
know what I mean. And I don't think Balmer is

191
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,200
also a businessman. He's not doing three years of bullshit

192
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,919
at the nicest arena ever built, Because it would be

193
00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:52,399
some bullshit if they traded Kawhi and James Harden away

194
00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:54,960
from this team. If you don't like the roster, now,

195
00:09:55,919 --> 00:09:58,279
imagine what the roster would look like without Kawhi and

196
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,080
James Harden.

197
00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 5: It would be one thing if they had a young

198
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,679
centerpiece type of draft pick, like if they had done

199
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,639
a trade for Scoot Henderson or something last season and

200
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,080
you bought him out that way while still having a

201
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,440
couple of guys next to him that are fan favorites.

202
00:10:14,639 --> 00:10:17,639
But I don't see it either, given the new arena

203
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,240
that they could completely and Balmer has said we're not

204
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,679
ever going to completely bottom out. I tend to believe him,

205
00:10:25,919 --> 00:10:29,360
and like it would take some real extraordinary circumstances for

206
00:10:29,399 --> 00:10:30,679
that to change.

207
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:38,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just not and again we're not. Besides, what

208
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,639
Will ascribes to believe is which that it is our year.

209
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,120
I don't think it is our year. I think anything

210
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:47,600
can happen.

211
00:10:47,759 --> 00:10:48,919
Speaker 5: Will. Would you like to respond?

212
00:10:49,759 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: The only god I believe in is this year is

213
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:53,279
Larry O'Brien.

214
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: But it's just not like, yeah, I don't know.

215
00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:00,639
Speaker 2: The roster isn't juicy enough to be like we'd really

216
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,759
be cooking with gas in three years if these draft

217
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,000
picks work out like we don't. Our best vet is Batoum,

218
00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:08,279
who is not probably going to be in the NBA

219
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:13,559
in two or three years. Law Murray was posting some

220
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:18,279
pro Zuboys propaganda on Twitter today, which we're all fans of. Obviously,

221
00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:22,759
Zoo has never had two twenty point games in a row.

222
00:11:23,759 --> 00:11:27,039
She wanted to ask you for thank you for fact checking.

223
00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:29,759
Speaker 4: Law Uh No, I just feel like people have brought

224
00:11:29,799 --> 00:11:32,960
up this stat before and it's like, yeah, okay, you know,

225
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,399
like I I'm not saying this is what law was doing,

226
00:11:35,399 --> 00:11:36,960
but I know I feel like a lot of people

227
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,320
have just spare a Zoo with this one point, and

228
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,000
it's kind of like.

229
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:45,879
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, sure, the guy who was fifth option, Yeah yeah.

230
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 3: Like within context, I just don't see how that makes sense.

231
00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 5: Like, yeah, it's the majority of the time he has

232
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,080
a twenty point game and they still start to forget

233
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,159
about him by the time the next game comes around

234
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,039
the first half. How many times do you get the

235
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,200
same minutes the next game that he got to get

236
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:00,679
to twenty?

237
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,799
Speaker 1: How many twenty point games do you think he has

238
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:03,240
next year?

239
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 3: How many d you have last year?

240
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: Let me check.

241
00:12:12,879 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 5: Twenty that's what the predicture for this year. That would

242
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,639
be right, twenty twenty point games.

243
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: He had forty oh, not forty four four. He had

244
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,840
four games from twenty to twenty nine points. I'm taking

245
00:12:32,879 --> 00:12:36,000
the over. I would just take the over next year.

246
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,559
I think it's more than four.

247
00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 3: It's gotta be double digits, or I think this team

248
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,360
might be in some trouble.

249
00:12:42,759 --> 00:12:48,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, if he if Zoo, how many games of ten

250
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:49,200
to night?

251
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,279
Speaker 4: How many games do we not have one of or

252
00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:56,519
both Kawhi and Harden because basically that's how many twenty

253
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:57,559
point games you need to.

254
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, those graphs will be like, yeah, I like that idea.

255
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, Adam, I could see twenty. I mean I think

256
00:13:04,799 --> 00:13:05,960
it's gonna be hard.

257
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:06,639
Speaker 5: I'm not with that.

258
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:07,639
Speaker 3: I would love to see.

259
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 5: I was kind of kidding just twenty for twenty. I

260
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,080
don't know. Maybe I'll say twelve. I'll say twelve.

261
00:13:15,159 --> 00:13:16,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's more reasonable.

262
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,039
Speaker 1: Probably Adam's poking holes in his own clippership.

263
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,919
Speaker 3: I got thirty SECT receipts.

264
00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:26,519
Speaker 5: Real thirty seconds ago right here.

265
00:13:26,919 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: If you if he gets over twenty, we're gonna play

266
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,759
the clip of you saying he's not gonna get twenty.

267
00:13:32,919 --> 00:13:34,759
Speaker 3: Never get he'll never buy twenty.

268
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it'll be I hope it's over ten.

269
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,399
Speaker 5: It comes down to what Will just said. I don't

270
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,080
know how many games are Kawhi and James Harden playing,

271
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,240
especially Kawhi, because James Harden can really aid in Zoo

272
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,039
getting to twenty.

273
00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say, because no, no, no,

274
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,559
Harden does limit things a little bit.

275
00:13:57,159 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, if Harden plays seventy games in Kawhi plays fifty.

276
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: One hundred and twenty twenty point games.

277
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, plus playoffs, right for include the playoffs.

278
00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: And well, and they're gonna win the season tournament, right

279
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,440
and I think they just might ask for extra games

280
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,240
just you know, iron sharpens.

281
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 5: Iron can't be your year if you don't win the

282
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:25,279
n season tournament.

283
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: Pro not wrong.

284
00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:31,799
Speaker 2: Also, yeah, we should track zoos scoring when Kawhi is

285
00:14:31,799 --> 00:14:34,919
out this year. We should do that more. All right, Now,

286
00:14:34,919 --> 00:14:39,200
we got some random questions clips for show. Who do

287
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,759
you think will be the surprise performer of the season,

288
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,759
William Updyke, Who are you.

289
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 4: Picking surprise performer of the season to fans or like

290
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,840
above their numbers.

291
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 5: To casuals.

292
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go to actuals.

293
00:15:00,519 --> 00:15:03,039
Speaker 2: Actually, I think that's a good like Clippers fans who

294
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,519
are maybe like not as invested because they're not a

295
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,960
some do not think they are a contending team.

296
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, but then like Zubos could be the surprise performer

297
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:13,240
to them.

298
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, let's go.

299
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: Let's go non starters and well list of starters is Harden,

300
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:22,480
Terrence Man, which seems to be a controversial opinion some places,

301
00:15:22,679 --> 00:15:26,279
Derek Jones, Junior Kawi, Leonard that meats other than those guys.

302
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:28,559
Speaker 5: I feel like you should be able to take Norm either.

303
00:15:29,639 --> 00:15:30,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair.

304
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, no, I think Norman is fair if.

305
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 5: You well, if you say twenty plus a game from Norman,

306
00:15:38,279 --> 00:15:42,320
am I okay, that's surprise performance? Yeah well yeah, yeah,

307
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:43,759
eighteen plus whatever?

308
00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:49,679
Speaker 3: Yeah?

309
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,559
Speaker 4: Who else is really gonna who else is going to

310
00:15:51,679 --> 00:15:52,879
really really surprise me?

311
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:54,399
Speaker 1: Jay Tucker?

312
00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:58,679
Speaker 3: But too, we're gonna find out he has even more

313
00:15:58,720 --> 00:15:59,720
in the tank than we thought.

314
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:02,799
Speaker 1: He's a fan.

315
00:16:03,039 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: They're clocking the nphs and he's the fastest guy on

316
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,759
the team. Erring game, Adam, who are you picking?

317
00:16:11,879 --> 00:16:13,399
Speaker 1: Real? Sticking Nick with Tom.

318
00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:16,879
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with I'm gonna take a risk here.

319
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,720
I'm gonna go with Mobamba.

320
00:16:19,879 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: I was gonna pick one of the random centers too.

321
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, my guy's not random. He's a surprise performer.

322
00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:30,879
Speaker 2: Sure, okay, and what a surprise from Obamba?

323
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 5: Look like I'm gonna say he's getting eight and five

324
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:40,600
in a block.

325
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,919
Speaker 2: The blocks would be nice. And this is under a

326
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,679
normal percentage. This isn't anything where he's shooting so eight

327
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,440
and five that is His career average is seven and five.

328
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:53,759
Speaker 1: And a half.

329
00:16:55,639 --> 00:16:58,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, but look at my god, what's his average is

330
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,799
the last four years three years.

331
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, well so last year, four and four, year before that,

332
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,920
three and four year before that, seven and four.

333
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 5: All right, I'll up it a little bit. I'll say

334
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:15,960
nine and.

335
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:20,319
Speaker 2: Five, nine and five for Mobamba off the bench, sign

336
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:21,640
me the hell up?

337
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 5: And he shoots? Did I already make a prediction on

338
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,839
him from three? I feel like this happened? I said,

339
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,440
I think I said his career average thirty seven percent?

340
00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: Right, his gravage is thirty six percent.

341
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,839
Speaker 5: But thirty six point what one?

342
00:17:38,759 --> 00:17:39,079
Speaker 3: Damn?

343
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,599
Speaker 1: I would round up if it was thirty six point five.

344
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 5: All right, I'll say she was thirty seven percent.

345
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like one and a half attempts a game

346
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,680
or something like that. Because he's kind of a he

347
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,960
could be a pick and pop guy. Yeah, pick and

348
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,920
pop in relation to what Mobamba is.

349
00:17:54,799 --> 00:17:57,559
Speaker 5: Because a lot of people are down, very very down

350
00:17:57,599 --> 00:18:00,000
on Mobomba right now, and I seem to be higher

351
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:01,799
than most. So I'm gonna I'm gonna pick him as

352
00:18:01,839 --> 00:18:02,160
my guy.

353
00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: What else is news? Pacoli? So we got batom Bomba?

354
00:18:07,839 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 3: What about Chris Dunn? I was?

355
00:18:10,279 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 2: I feel like the freaks over at the lop of

356
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,160
the jam of the pod have been all over Chris

357
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,799
Done for the last like two years, and I think

358
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:20,920
they're right. I think he's gonna be very He's gonna

359
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,319
surprise people with what he brings off. I think people

360
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,720
kind of know he's good at defense, like he's a

361
00:18:26,759 --> 00:18:28,720
guy where you kind of go defensive first. I think

362
00:18:28,759 --> 00:18:32,160
his offense, his floater game is really good. Yeah, but

363
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,480
that like box score, isn't it jumping.

364
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:34,759
Speaker 3: Off the page.

365
00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:36,599
Speaker 1: No, it's gotta be chunky for him to be a

366
00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:38,000
surprise before it is.

367
00:18:38,519 --> 00:18:40,799
Speaker 4: Like, it is kind of interesting though, and it will

368
00:18:40,839 --> 00:18:44,079
be something to monitor. Obviously we've talked a lot about

369
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,000
the backup center position, but like, what is going on

370
00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:48,160
with this guard rotation?

371
00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 3: I mean you.

372
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 4: Because these pieces they make sense in like certain regards.

373
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,880
You know, I could see Norm and Chris Dunn together,

374
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,960
I could I could see that sort of working KPJ

375
00:19:01,519 --> 00:19:03,000
and done maybe.

376
00:19:03,279 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: Uh, I don't.

377
00:19:04,759 --> 00:19:07,839
Speaker 4: Know, Like it's just gonna be an It's gonna be

378
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,400
an interesting thing to monitor as this has once again

379
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,240
become an Olive Garden team.

380
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 5: Because even if you think that Bones Highland doesn't have

381
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,839
a chance on this roster and won't be on the

382
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,039
roster even if you take him out, Yeah, oh, still

383
00:19:22,079 --> 00:19:22,400
a lot.

384
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,039
Speaker 3: I can't play.

385
00:19:25,839 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: I'm operating under the assumption that he will not be.

386
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:35,279
Speaker 5: Playing norm KPJ and Chris Dunn on the floor at once.

387
00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:37,279
I don't think it's gonna be successful.

388
00:19:37,279 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 4: I don't we're gonna see it though, Are we not

389
00:19:40,519 --> 00:19:41,279
going to see it?

390
00:19:41,519 --> 00:19:44,039
Speaker 6: We're gonna talk are we not going to see it?

391
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:52,079
We saw John wall Luke, but that why not?

392
00:19:52,279 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 5: Like minutes t lu did at some point say it

393
00:19:56,519 --> 00:19:59,640
playing guards was in effect like he did. It wasn't

394
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,000
me a Oprah or anything, but he did admit that,

395
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,279
you know, he was trying to get guys minutes. He

396
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,640
was trying to make it work, but it couldn't work.

397
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,599
I'm hoping that was a lesson learned about playing too

398
00:20:09,599 --> 00:20:10,319
many guards.

399
00:20:11,759 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 2: I hope that we have learned it because we do

400
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,240
have a lot of guards and we are going to

401
00:20:16,319 --> 00:20:19,279
talk about kind of some KPJ stuff for the next time.

402
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,000
And just in terms of how he fits with maybe

403
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,640
the lack of shooting in the pick and roll. Ryan

404
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,519
Snelling with a question, I'm surprised it took him this

405
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:29,720
long to ask. Cutest Clipper update with Paul George off

406
00:20:29,799 --> 00:20:32,799
the team was what.

407
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 3: George the previous reigning cute Clipper.

408
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: I think for Ryan Snelling he may have been.

409
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,599
Speaker 4: I mean I think I definitely did one year. I

410
00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:44,119
don't know if it was every year it.

411
00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: Was every year.

412
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 5: I didn't know there was the cutest Clipper update period,

413
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:49,400
So this is an update to me.

414
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

415
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 2: Ryan Snelling always asked this. People want to know this.

416
00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:56,640
The answer is, I'm going Kauai all the time.

417
00:20:56,759 --> 00:20:59,799
Speaker 5: But I think he's adorable because of his personality and

418
00:20:59,839 --> 00:21:01,119
every thing. And he's good looking.

419
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll go kai Jones.

420
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,559
Speaker 5: Oh Ki Jones has some model looks. The red carpet

421
00:21:09,559 --> 00:21:11,599
the into it though. Kai Jones a good looking guy.

422
00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:13,839
Speaker 2: Kai Jones is going to show up and maybe playing

423
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,519
a game in those Oakley over the top sunglasses.

424
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:17,559
Speaker 1: I just get that.

425
00:21:17,519 --> 00:21:20,319
Speaker 2: Vibe, you know the ones I'm talking about that go

426
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,920
the old school Oakleys that they made for like sprinters.

427
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,039
I think Kai Jones is gonna play in those at

428
00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:28,680
some point. Will who is your pick? And Ryan Snelling

429
00:21:29,319 --> 00:21:30,720
tweeted us who your pick is?

430
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:31,799
Speaker 1: Coward?

431
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,759
Speaker 4: I'm going James Harden And again it's because of the

432
00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:37,559
whole package, like the outfits. I still think I might

433
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,160
have like a GQ James Harden spread from like I

434
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,480
don't six years ago.

435
00:21:42,559 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 3: Probably, yeah, it's hardened for me.

436
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: Good pick.

437
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 2: And I also always think about the best joke from

438
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,359
Abbitt Elementary, which was Quinton Brunson dressing up as James

439
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:56,240
Harden for Halloween.

440
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,759
Speaker 3: He's I mean, he's just got an iconic looking like

441
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,519
he is. He is.

442
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 4: Probably he's one of the few who actually like pulls

443
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,960
it off. There's like a lot of you know, kind

444
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,720
of wild wild dressing in the NBA, which I support.

445
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,880
I support all fashion xations, I support yeah, Risk, I

446
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,839
support taking big swings. I feel like he's one of

447
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,319
the few. It's like him and Shay who are like

448
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,720
pretty like really the hit ray is very high.

449
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,279
Speaker 1: They have good stylists shout out to him styling them.

450
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,079
Speaker 5: I know it's not his nickname, but he looks more

451
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,960
like a King James than Lebron with the beard.

452
00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: He's shorter, he's a little stock here.

453
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 3: You're saying Lebron is a fraud king.

454
00:22:42,519 --> 00:22:45,839
Speaker 5: False king, just like just like Lakers fans spray paint

455
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,680
when he came to town first, false King.

456
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 2: If you really want to trigger uh a fan of

457
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,400
that team, just say, I mean, personally I think he's

458
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:55,880
the greatest liker of all time. He brought him a

459
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,799
trip during during COVID, I've gotten a bottle thrown at

460
00:22:59,799 --> 00:23:04,079
my head. I'm saying that before all right that, Oh wait,

461
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:09,000
there's one more question from someone named muck Chockler, who

462
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:12,480
asked should the Clippers make a move for Robert Williams.

463
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,079
Ryan Windhors tweeted out or I think he just said

464
00:23:15,079 --> 00:23:17,079
this on a show. A guy to watch who is

465
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,559
very tradable is the time Lord, one of the greatest

466
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:20,400
nicknames in the NBA.

467
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah.

468
00:23:21,279 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 2: Coming off of injury, He's a guy who's had repeated

469
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,759
injury problems. But he makes thirteen million. They may be

470
00:23:26,839 --> 00:23:28,599
willing to part with him, and he can go to

471
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,680
a contender and be a significant piece if he's healthy.

472
00:23:32,079 --> 00:23:34,200
All that last part to me says he's not going

473
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,079
to a contender because I don't think they'd want to

474
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,799
bank on him being healthy.

475
00:23:37,839 --> 00:23:42,319
Speaker 3: Thirteen million, will you take PJ. Tuncker and some in.

476
00:23:42,319 --> 00:23:44,319
Speaker 2: And out, let's do it. Yeah we have, and now

477
00:23:44,319 --> 00:23:47,799
it's like actually tradable. So it's like we're team reclamation.

478
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,880
Let's add another like I'm with it.

479
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 4: If he's happy, like if he's happy in eventual and yeah,

480
00:23:55,279 --> 00:23:57,839
I mean I like, I think that's a great backup option.

481
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,000
I think with the injury history right now and already

482
00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:04,440
having to beat the Zoobots, you know, a starting position

483
00:24:04,559 --> 00:24:05,559
is not in the cards.

484
00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:11,599
Speaker 5: I guess what you'd sell Portland on is Pegs out

485
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,680
from under this contract after this year, and Robert Williams

486
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,119
is still under contract for another thirty million next year,

487
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,319
and that would be the only incentive. I could see

488
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,720
him doing the trade. But it's it's not a terrible one.

489
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,559
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean it's better than a guy who.

490
00:24:26,519 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 3: Like well, I think it's just yeah, I just wonder

491
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,799
what the offers are. I suppose.

492
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,039
Speaker 5: I wonder if Boston comes back at him because they're losing.

493
00:24:34,759 --> 00:24:37,839
Speaker 1: Al Horford right, Oh are they think?

494
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 5: Isn't he retiring? I thought he now crazy?

495
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 2: He's done though, I think you're right.

496
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: Not dead. Wait.

497
00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:52,799
Speaker 5: Al Horford's sister Debunk's retirement rumors ahead of season could

498
00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:53,119
be wrong.

499
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,599
Speaker 3: Adam always bringing on the spot.

500
00:24:56,759 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 5: I was on NBA Central instead of Central again.

501
00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're like, WHOA, this is crazy?

502
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,319
Speaker 3: Uncle Adam is an uncle on Facebook.

503
00:25:10,039 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 2: If we trained for Rober Williams and you might need

504
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,200
some of our cats. I don't know what's going on, man,

505
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,759
it's just bullshit, all right. Thank you for the questions,

506
00:25:16,839 --> 00:25:18,880
especially from UK Choker. That was a really good question.

507
00:25:19,799 --> 00:25:22,160
Is that you yes, absolutely.

508
00:25:24,079 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 1: Coming.

509
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,039
Speaker 3: I was if someone was trolling you and took that name,

510
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:27,599
or if.

511
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: It was just you just me trolling myself.

512
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,079
Speaker 3: I was worried maybe you have like a superstocker.

513
00:25:33,799 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 1: No, we we're excited for you that I would not

514
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,839
be hyped. They're like, well, what went to your work,

515
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,279
didn't see you. I'd be like, wow, let's game it

516
00:25:43,319 --> 00:25:43,680
that way.

517
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 3: What if they were just giving you the gifts cash gifts?

518
00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: Wait, cash gifts.

519
00:25:50,759 --> 00:25:52,839
Speaker 2: If I walked into my house and there was just

520
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,759
cash lying there with a note that said for you

521
00:25:54,799 --> 00:25:57,640
with a smiley face, and I texted the six people

522
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,440
who I have access to getting into my house and

523
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,839
they all said that wasn't from me, I'd be like, okay.

524
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 4: What if it's like a you wake up and there's

525
00:26:06,039 --> 00:26:09,119
a picture of yourself sleeping and you're like, oh my god,

526
00:26:09,319 --> 00:26:11,319
and then you look under your pillow they left some

527
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:12,279
cash there too.

528
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 3: How much cash? I don't know, five hundred bucks.

529
00:26:17,279 --> 00:26:19,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, but they took a thousand Hey.

530
00:26:19,559 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: I don't have a thousand bucks to take five hundred

531
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,880
cash and twenties. Yeh, I'd be hyped one hundred dollars bills.

532
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,119
I'm like, what am I gonna do with these?

533
00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 3: I know you can't. You can't really break those at

534
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,680
the liquor store anymore.

535
00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: No, I'm gonna go to the taco stand. You, I

536
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:36,000
don't know.

537
00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:39,839
Speaker 5: I wants to watch me sleep? There's a price if.

538
00:26:39,759 --> 00:26:41,799
Speaker 2: Anyone wants to watch me sleep. It's five hundred bucks

539
00:26:41,839 --> 00:26:47,240
cash in twenties. Coming up, we're gonna be talking James

540
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,039
Harden's leadership, a quality that everyone talks about how great

541
00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:52,599
it is with James Harden, but it seems to be

542
00:26:52,599 --> 00:26:54,880
on display even more so right now. But first, if

543
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,960
you're listening on audio, thank you. There is gonna be

544
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,200
an ad break. What are the benefits of watching us

545
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,519
on YouTube? YouTube, Dot Cops, Jack Clippers podcast? Is you

546
00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:04,519
just gonna see our faces during this one second break

547
00:27:04,759 --> 00:27:07,559
and the whole time? So there's audio ads coming up

548
00:27:07,559 --> 00:27:09,039
and they're back talking James Harden.

549
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 4: Three two what all right? Welcome back in two clips?

550
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,920
And did we took your fabulous questions. In this first segment,

551
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,480
we're going to talk a little bit about James Harden

552
00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:25,359
now and it's time to shake the State month. I

553
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,240
feel like I'm tired of the hearing the same thing

554
00:27:28,279 --> 00:27:31,119
over and over again. You know, he quits on franchises,

555
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:36,200
he's a bad teammate, YadA, YadA. I've already defended him

556
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,880
and this narrative on this show. I think the move

557
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,440
out of Houston made a lot of sense. I think

558
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,400
the move out of Brooklyn made even more sense. I

559
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,400
think the move out of Philly was imminent and also

560
00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:50,799
kind of made some sense and also made quite a

561
00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:53,240
bit of sense. So you know where I'm at on this.

562
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,359
But it seems like, whether he's conscious of this or not,

563
00:27:56,599 --> 00:28:00,319
James Harden is becoming one of the best leaders on

564
00:28:00,319 --> 00:28:03,440
this squad. Looking at a looking at this offseason so far,

565
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,559
would you would you agree, Charles.

566
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we've got him.

567
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:09,759
Speaker 2: He's been taking guys with the Rico Hines runs with

568
00:28:09,799 --> 00:28:13,279
like literally every young guy. Right now, they're all down

569
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,920
at ASU doing like a James Harden mini camp. They're

570
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,160
playing softball. Terrence Man was on the losing team, which

571
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,000
I'm not sure how that affects his standing in the

572
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,200
starting Lineup's.

573
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 5: Tyler's focused on basketball, not baseball.

574
00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 3: That's true. The winners are now.

575
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, what have you guys been doing? Why are you

576
00:28:34,519 --> 00:28:36,480
so good at this sport that you don't get paid for?

577
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,519
Speaker 1: You're working on your your exit velo.

578
00:28:42,039 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 2: I think this is like this, like people have been

579
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,640
clamoring during this two pine three era for a leader

580
00:28:49,839 --> 00:28:53,559
quote unquote whatever they think that means. I think Kwhi

581
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,000
Leonard is a leader in his very own special way

582
00:28:56,279 --> 00:28:58,240
with directly with coworkers who he works for. I think

583
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,400
he's a leader. He's not a guy who's a raw

584
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,559
raw in public obviously. I think James Harden is the

585
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,279
like the I think he's filling that gap that people

586
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:10,160
wanted the fact that it's just like every young guy

587
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:11,720
in these things too, you know what I mean. It's

588
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,519
not just like him Terrence Zo or something like that.

589
00:29:13,559 --> 00:29:16,039
It's all of the young guy mom was there.

590
00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 4: And you know this isn't new, Like we've heard this

591
00:29:19,119 --> 00:29:21,920
since he started. He was, you know for guys who

592
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,279
wanted to post practice, they were working on the pick

593
00:29:24,319 --> 00:29:26,880
and roll. We know how like instrumental he was and

594
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,039
like helping Zoo get acclimated and they could they could

595
00:29:30,119 --> 00:29:32,440
work together. We know that some of the young guards

596
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,799
worked with him before, like, and this was when he

597
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,799
came here, you know. You know, he could have left

598
00:29:38,839 --> 00:29:41,279
after the season, you know, when things didn't pan out.

599
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:44,480
He could have left, you know, when Paul George was gone.

600
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,680
So yeah, I think that this is I like your

601
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,319
conclusion though, that people have been sort of clamoring for

602
00:29:51,359 --> 00:29:53,799
this voice for a while, and maybe this is the guy.

603
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,759
Speaker 5: I like what you said earlier. Will His last two

604
00:29:57,839 --> 00:30:01,240
moves are completely defensible. He wants to get away from

605
00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:04,079
an unreliable player in Kyrie Irving. He wants to get

606
00:30:04,119 --> 00:30:06,200
away from a guy who probably lied to him. I

607
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,759
think everybody feels like, yeah, they probably did offer him.

608
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 3: That and threw him under the bus.

609
00:30:11,359 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like, there's no way he would have taken less

610
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,599
for the team if there wasn't something else coming in

611
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,240
the next contract and then it didn't appair for him.

612
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,759
So I some of it is a false narrative regarding

613
00:30:23,839 --> 00:30:26,240
James Harden and some of the heat that he takes.

614
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,920
I like what I'm seeing at a thirty five year

615
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,440
old James Harden, the way he's starting to lead. Now

616
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,240
it's just a maturity thing. And if you love where

617
00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:38,519
you work, I think that's very meaningful. I think that

618
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,359
certainly brings out the best in people. He has wanted

619
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,519
to be here in so cal I think for a

620
00:30:43,599 --> 00:30:47,480
while now he is. He took a contract that was

621
00:30:47,519 --> 00:30:50,720
completely team friendly with the one plus one on seventy

622
00:30:50,759 --> 00:30:53,559
million dollars. Nobody thought that was going to happen. We

623
00:30:53,599 --> 00:30:56,799
all thought he'd be here for three more years. I'm

624
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,599
good with it. I like everything we've seen from James

625
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,880
Harden the Clippers uniform so far, including this.

626
00:31:02,559 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, the full off season which I know something will

627
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,920
you bring up like? That's huge for him and the

628
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,480
team actual off season time. Thanks Darryl Moray for last

629
00:31:10,519 --> 00:31:14,680
year making PJ. Tucker go through the hardest transition of anybody.

630
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:16,559
Speaker 5: He lied to him.

631
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: He lied to him, bro, But yeah, I love it.

632
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,079
Speaker 4: I hope you get a terrible eye stream from looking

633
00:31:22,079 --> 00:31:23,440
at a bunch of numbers.

634
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,079
Speaker 3: You hope you get your spreadsheets. I hope you hope

635
00:31:27,079 --> 00:31:28,599
you have to wear two pairs of readers.

636
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,519
Speaker 2: I hope you're right as flares up. Yeah, shout out

637
00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:36,640
to leader James Harden. And now we want to I

638
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,960
want to talk about. So we were talking about the

639
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,759
pick and roll earlier, and the Clippers shooting currently as

640
00:31:43,759 --> 00:31:46,480
it stands, makes the pick and roll a little I love?

641
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,119
Speaker 3: Can we the editorial note? Uh? I love?

642
00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 4: I love that you bring that you that you bring

643
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,599
this stuff in your off season.

644
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 3: I have to that's this isn't a criticism. I'm saying

645
00:32:00,519 --> 00:32:01,079
I love it.

646
00:32:01,799 --> 00:32:05,119
Speaker 1: Okay, good, So.

647
00:32:05,759 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 3: It gets me hyped, gets me hyped for the season.

648
00:32:08,079 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: Dude, I need real just to let I need real

649
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,119
basketball so.

650
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 3: Bad, I know. I mean, we only have theoretical right now.

651
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,440
So I love it. Leat us in. Sorry, I didn't

652
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:17,640
mean you're fine.

653
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,079
Speaker 2: I'm just losing it. I love my Dolphins, obviously, but

654
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,480
I need I need Clippers basketball back. The Clippers were

655
00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:25,920
top ten in points per possession in the pick and

656
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,799
roll last season. Oh yes, thanks shout out James Harden,

657
00:32:28,839 --> 00:32:32,960
shout out zoo. They were ranked twentieth in pick and

658
00:32:33,039 --> 00:32:37,720
roll frequency, which I think that goes up next year,

659
00:32:38,519 --> 00:32:39,799
would be my guess.

660
00:32:40,319 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 5: I wonder where what they were at frequency was during

661
00:32:44,039 --> 00:32:46,359
the thirty one game stretch where they went twenty six

662
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:46,839
and five.

663
00:32:47,079 --> 00:32:48,559
Speaker 1: Oh I wonder.

664
00:32:49,319 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 5: I'm sure there's a way to do that parameter wise

665
00:32:51,279 --> 00:32:52,319
on NBA dot com.

666
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, what were they just find the dates and then

667
00:32:54,279 --> 00:32:54,799
look up.

668
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:58,759
Speaker 4: The Yeah, I'm guessing it was fine screen share through this.

669
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's let's if you're on if you're on video.

670
00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 3: You don't want to miss this content.

671
00:33:04,119 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: Dude having the that's the worst.

672
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: But so I think they're gonna go up in frequency,

673
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,880
especially if Zoo's gonna hit one hundred and forty games

674
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:14,839
of twenty points.

675
00:33:17,119 --> 00:33:19,839
Speaker 1: But there's like, so the starting five, there's not.

676
00:33:21,559 --> 00:33:27,319
Speaker 2: Like shooters that are exactly you know, like, don't sag

677
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,880
off these guys or we're screwed, right, Because if you

678
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,240
look at the starting five, Harden is the best shooter,

679
00:33:34,759 --> 00:33:38,480
but he's running the pick and roll. There's Kawhi, there's Terrence,

680
00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:41,880
and then there's Derek Jones Junior, who's very much TBD

681
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,599
on what his outside if his outside shooting is going

682
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,759
to command you know, the the don't don't step off

683
00:33:48,799 --> 00:33:51,359
them at all on the you know, off the three

684
00:33:51,359 --> 00:33:55,680
point line. So I think Zoo's decision making is gonna

685
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,559
have to be even more on point next season because

686
00:33:58,559 --> 00:34:00,519
I don't think he's gonna have open guys the corners

687
00:34:00,559 --> 00:34:02,400
because he can find him off the short role sometimes,

688
00:34:02,839 --> 00:34:05,519
but I don't think it's gonna be that sweet to

689
00:34:05,559 --> 00:34:08,800
start the year. They're gonna make Terrence and Derek Jones

690
00:34:09,079 --> 00:34:14,280
prove that. You have to stay on them in the

691
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,320
pick and role. I think so we need James Harden

692
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,280
to be at his absolute best, and we need those

693
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,039
guys to kind of shoot better than.

694
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: They ever have.

695
00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 5: I think Terrence Man just needs to shoot period. If

696
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,000
he shoots, if he doesn't hesitate, if he stays with

697
00:34:30,039 --> 00:34:32,400
that level of confidence we saw in twenty twenty four

698
00:34:32,559 --> 00:34:34,960
was the calendar flip. I think he's gonna be okay

699
00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:37,960
because the numbers say he is a good three point

700
00:34:38,039 --> 00:34:40,880
shooter overall in his career. He just has to take

701
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,480
them and have confidence in his shot.

702
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

703
00:34:43,559 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 5: Derek Jones Junior, I'm more concerned about him because he

704
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,639
had no lot stretch during the playoffs and that's not

705
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,280
who he has been throughout his entire career. You can

706
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,280
say he's trending the right way at the right time,

707
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,960
considering he's only twenty seven, and maybe some of that

708
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,239
stuff carries over from last year in the playoffs, but

709
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,079
then again, he was really bad in the NBA Finals.

710
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,039
So overall, he shot thirty seven percent in that playoff run,

711
00:35:05,079 --> 00:35:06,920
but then he was bad in the NBA Finals. I

712
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,000
don't want that part to carry over, you know. I

713
00:35:10,119 --> 00:35:12,119
don't know. I don't know who he is yet as

714
00:35:12,119 --> 00:35:13,760
a three point shooter and who he can be. I

715
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,679
feel like we have a better handle on Terrence Man

716
00:35:15,679 --> 00:35:16,239
in that area.

717
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:18,599
Speaker 2: And do you think Terrence is going to be the

718
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,519
we can't tag off him or do you think teams

719
00:35:20,519 --> 00:35:21,480
are going to make improve that?

720
00:35:22,079 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: Oh?

721
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,039
Speaker 5: I think they're going to make improve it because he

722
00:35:24,119 --> 00:35:26,360
ended up. What if you just look at you know,

723
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,960
thirty five percent last season, they're going to say, Okay,

724
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,159
that's below the league average. They're probably not looking at

725
00:35:31,159 --> 00:35:33,840
the forty four percent he shot in twenty twenty four

726
00:35:34,159 --> 00:35:37,360
and it's still on low volume overall. So I think

727
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:38,440
they're going to make improve it.

728
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,280
Speaker 2: And that does also if everyone's sticking, that means zoos

729
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,519
at one on one, which does vode pretty well for

730
00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:47,039
the points per possession stats.

731
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 4: Cash Well and like at this stage of his career,

732
00:35:53,199 --> 00:35:55,599
how much and how often is hard and able to

733
00:35:55,679 --> 00:36:00,760
create for himself off the drible, Well, he's gonna have to,

734
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,440
you know, like he's gonna be in a higher scoring Uh,

735
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,280
he's gonna need to be in sort of a higher

736
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,239
scoring scoring type of position than he has been for

737
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,599
the last couple of seasons.

738
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 5: He did end up as one of the best point

739
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,199
per possession guys in isolation last year. I think he

740
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:20,679
was the best as a guard.

741
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:25,159
Speaker 1: Clippers killed at Kawhi was obvious, incredible and Io too.

742
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 5: I want to say James Harden was near the very

743
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,519
top and points per possession in isolation plays last season.

744
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,519
I don't have the data to back it up currently,

745
00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:41,400
but I swear it's the case, Like I surprised by

746
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:42,360
it because he is.

747
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,599
Speaker 1: Older now source I swear so it's.

748
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:50,199
Speaker 5: One point one three points per possession from him in

749
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,559
the regular season in isolation plays. And I'm just trying

750
00:36:54,559 --> 00:36:57,199
to sort it by you know, these guys that have

751
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,000
low volume amount and they end up really high because

752
00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:01,079
they did like two of.

753
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: Them, right, Yeah, you got it for sure.

754
00:37:04,159 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 2: And I'm also like, we don't really ever see Zoo

755
00:37:08,079 --> 00:37:10,280
with the bench, and it's like, I wonder what the

756
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,639
bench pick and roll maybe looks like, because I feel

757
00:37:12,639 --> 00:37:14,800
like Zoo makes a pick and roll with Chris done

758
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,400
a lot easier than whoever the hell he's going to

759
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,920
be running the pick and Roll with if it's not Zoo,

760
00:37:20,039 --> 00:37:22,559
you know what I mean, Like, I don't know, there's

761
00:37:22,559 --> 00:37:24,880
some fun stuff, and I hope we see Kawhi as

762
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,199
the screener because that is something that I feel like

763
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,119
is almost like my white whale. We've seen it a

764
00:37:30,119 --> 00:37:33,280
couple times and it's been pretty effective. It's just very rare.

765
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,599
We do see it, and again that's where you want

766
00:37:35,599 --> 00:37:39,039
to yeah, and that, but that again, that's like, you know,

767
00:37:39,039 --> 00:37:40,519
you get the pick and pop and stuff like that.

768
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:44,039
So they got to add some wrinkles if they want to.

769
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,519
If it is our year, as some are saying, we

770
00:37:49,599 --> 00:37:52,599
might see some creativity on this this pick and Roll front,

771
00:37:52,599 --> 00:37:54,519
which I'm excited for. And we have the best guy

772
00:37:54,559 --> 00:37:56,440
to run it with the starters, which is James Harden.

773
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,079
Speaker 5: So it looks like of guys who at least had

774
00:37:59,079 --> 00:38:03,960
two hundred or more possessions in an isolation play, James

775
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,800
Harden's at one point one to three, as I mentioned,

776
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,159
that's better than Luka Doncic. The one guy I'm finding

777
00:38:09,199 --> 00:38:12,239
that's better than him was Kawhi Leonard at one point

778
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:16,320
to zero. I think they both did finish like top

779
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,679
three in this category last season, which is why when

780
00:38:18,679 --> 00:38:21,719
people complain about them going into ISO so much, like, well,

781
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,719
the numbers kind of say they're really damn good at it,

782
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,440
so maybe they should do it. There's something to that.

783
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 2: Yes, a guy we haven't talked a bunch about for

784
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,840
I think pretty fair reasons, both on the court and

785
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:41,159
off the court, is what we mentioned smaller lineups. KPJ.

786
00:38:41,679 --> 00:38:45,639
Kevin Porter Junior is a guy who can shoot. He's

787
00:38:45,639 --> 00:38:47,920
been at the Rico Hines Runs. I'm not sure if.

788
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: He's at ASU.

789
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 2: Tilmayer was saying that guys might be coming in, so

790
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,000
like maybe maybe he hands up with the team, But he's

791
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,880
been like with the team, you know what I mean,

792
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,440
most of his time has been at the one. He

793
00:39:00,519 --> 00:39:02,760
had one season where he played sixty percent of his

794
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:04,760
time at the two. I think it was his second

795
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,039
year in the league. Every year other than that, he's

796
00:39:07,079 --> 00:39:11,119
like over ninety three percent of his time playing.

797
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 1: At the one. If he gets time again.

798
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 2: He has not played in the NBA, and sometime some

799
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,239
people need to maybe ten for their expectations on that.

800
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,159
Speaker 4: Well, it's also just I mean, this is the role

801
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,719
even if you foresee him really taking off here. The

802
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:33,719
role is markedly different from what the Rockets, Yeah, from

803
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:38,679
what he's played before, like what his role looked like before.

804
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,559
You like, even if you're the highest, even if you're

805
00:39:41,599 --> 00:39:44,000
the highest on KPJ, even if you think that he's

806
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,719
gonna take Terrence Man's spot, even in that highest of

807
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,559
high scenarios, right, that's a completely different that's a completely

808
00:39:51,599 --> 00:39:55,559
different role still than what he was doing on the Rockets.

809
00:39:55,679 --> 00:39:58,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's not getting thirty four minutes per night. I

810
00:39:58,639 --> 00:40:01,719
don't see any scenario where that happens. And I would

811
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,639
argue based upon his play, he is a good passer

812
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,880
of the backups. He should be playing the one, whether

813
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,360
he's playing next to Chris Dunn or Norman Powell, both

814
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:15,159
those guys should be playing the two next to KPJ. Honestly,

815
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,480
they should be playing off of him while he does

816
00:40:18,639 --> 00:40:22,000
ISO overly and gets into you know, a little bit

817
00:40:22,039 --> 00:40:24,519
of his bag maybe too often. Sometimes it gets him

818
00:40:24,519 --> 00:40:26,159
into trouble. As a lot of young players to do

819
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,280
early on in their career, especially when you're on a

820
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,679
bad team. He averaged i mean, six assists per game.

821
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,440
Like he he's a really.

822
00:40:33,159 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 2: Good passer, and Dunn played thirty percent of his time

823
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,360
last year at the two, so like, there's that's a

824
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,639
small kind of a small ass backcourt.

825
00:40:43,559 --> 00:40:46,039
Speaker 5: But dun can guard up. Like I'm not concerned about

826
00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:47,760
him playing the two, honestly.

827
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fair.

828
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting because he's again you know, Norm can't

829
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,280
really run the pick and roll, but just something to monitor.

830
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 5: I don't want the ball in Norm's hands making the decision.

831
00:40:59,119 --> 00:41:01,679
I don't want the ball in Dunn's hands over kp

832
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,239
J making the decisions. I think of those three guys,

833
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:05,559
he should definitely be the one.

834
00:41:07,159 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be interesting. His preseason is going to

835
00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:11,719
have to be real good.

836
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,559
Speaker 5: He's not a two year deal though, you know, like, yeah,

837
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,199
is there committed to him somewhat?

838
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: Is it fully guaranteed or is the second or something? Goofy.

839
00:41:25,079 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 5: That's a good question.

840
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 2: I'm looking it up right now. He's on it's a

841
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,800
player option next year for two and a half.

842
00:41:30,599 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: Million dollars, So a prove it deal for him, I

843
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,519
would say the previoust of prove it deals.

844
00:41:37,599 --> 00:41:40,679
Speaker 2: I haven't seen a two year, less than five million

845
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,480
dollar contract in a very.

846
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 1: Long time in the NBA.

847
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 2: No disrespect to guys getting that, but that is the

848
00:41:47,039 --> 00:41:49,199
previoust of prove it deals.

849
00:41:49,559 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 1: I think we can all agree as it should be.

850
00:41:52,039 --> 00:41:55,039
Speaker 2: Oh that's the other part is like the man has

851
00:41:55,079 --> 00:41:58,000
not played NBA basketball in a very long time in

852
00:41:58,079 --> 00:42:00,880
the scheme of these things, so like he's not just

853
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,320
hopping in and running a great pick and roll.

854
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,639
Speaker 5: And what happens if what a lot of people think

855
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,840
is the likely scenario I talked with Lot Murray about

856
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,400
this recently, that he gets suspended to start the season

857
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,679
for thirty games or something. Right then you're trying to

858
00:42:14,679 --> 00:42:20,119
implement him while the season's happening, and his job, you know,

859
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,480
somebody else may have already proven it at that point

860
00:42:22,599 --> 00:42:24,679
that they have earned those minutes. Like it's gonna be

861
00:42:25,119 --> 00:42:27,199
it's gonna be a really difficult thing for anyone that

862
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,159
thinks this is okay, here we go. We got a

863
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,199
fifteen points score off the bench every night, Kevin Porter Junior.

864
00:42:32,559 --> 00:42:34,320
There's so much more that's going into this.

865
00:42:38,159 --> 00:42:38,559
Speaker 3: Yeah.

866
00:42:38,679 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 2: Sorry, I didn't want to get Chip muted. I was

867
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,320
in a bunch of ships. I don't want to get

868
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:42,880
Chip muted.

869
00:42:44,079 --> 00:42:45,599
Speaker 3: Also, I don't know.

870
00:42:45,679 --> 00:42:48,159
Speaker 4: I think it's just gonna again, it's gonna depend on

871
00:42:49,039 --> 00:42:52,159
you know, it's assuming that he is clear to play play,

872
00:42:52,159 --> 00:42:55,400
It's going to depend on him because, yeah, I don't know.

873
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,960
His assistants are fine, He's still like a worse than.

874
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 3: Two to one assisted turn of the ratio. He's not

875
00:43:01,519 --> 00:43:03,199
like a super gifted passer.

876
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 5: Yeah that's fair. I mean, I guess and like.

877
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,159
Speaker 4: It, like is he gonna be out of a score

878
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,800
first mode? This is it once again, a guy who

879
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,280
was not in the league and is on a very

880
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,599
cheap deal, approve it deal, which that can That can

881
00:43:17,639 --> 00:43:19,639
go a lot of ways, I think in a player's mind,

882
00:43:20,199 --> 00:43:21,880
and I think only one of them.

883
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 3: Would actually be beneficial to the Clippers.

884
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 5: There's far more realistic paths of him not being a

885
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,760
big time impactful player for the Clippers season, for the

886
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,280
Clipper season or this year. Then there are of him

887
00:43:37,639 --> 00:43:40,199
turning into a six man of the year type. They

888
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,760
just are you talk about somebody who's been out of

889
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,320
the game for this long and then he could be

890
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:48,639
out even longer while the season is starting and guys

891
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,599
are you know, finding their place in the rotation without him.

892
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,119
That's a lot to ask.

893
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:55,679
Speaker 1: It's a tall ass and again.

894
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's gonna be some YouTube comment saying we're

895
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:02,440
hating on Kevin Porter Junior. I haven't even become close

896
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,360
to say what I actually think about Kevin Porter Junior.

897
00:44:04,519 --> 00:44:08,480
We're just talking basketball, but everything we're saying is completely true.

898
00:44:08,519 --> 00:44:11,039
You can't just come in and play in the it's not.

899
00:44:11,639 --> 00:44:13,719
I'll tell you what's ruin this game is aau. It's

900
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,800
people thinking you can just hop on a team and

901
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:21,000
put up twenty points. It's not how it works, but

902
00:44:21,079 --> 00:44:24,199
it'll be interesting. Anything else on the pick and roll

903
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,280
that you guys wanna interject.

904
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,119
Speaker 1: I know people love clips and dip.

905
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 3: P and R talk spam it hardened screens for Kawhi.

906
00:44:34,079 --> 00:44:37,079
Speaker 1: Dude, I feel like defense be like, what the fuck

907
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,519
is this? There's a small guard garden.

908
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 3: James d h o hard harden screens for Kawhi.

909
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:46,079
Speaker 5: I like it.

910
00:44:46,119 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 2: That'd be a good time. I want Zoo to hit

911
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,719
that little lot I was talking about that clip Law posted.

912
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,719
Zoo hits a nice little uh in his first twenty

913
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,280
point game. He was hitting these like top of the

914
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,199
key jumpers, which I want Zoo to unleash.

915
00:44:59,639 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: We don't, yeah, we do.

916
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 4: So who's already just enough in his bag. Can we

917
00:45:04,039 --> 00:45:09,519
just let him do the things that he's good at more? Oh,

918
00:45:09,559 --> 00:45:10,639
for God's sake, he.

919
00:45:11,679 --> 00:45:14,639
Speaker 5: Could probably hit every shot from half court.

920
00:45:17,039 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 2: I want yeah, oh yeah.

921
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,679
Speaker 1: If if the shot clock is under two, fine zoo.

922
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,760
Speaker 2: I'm making shirts that say that I don't care where

923
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:29,559
he is on the court.

924
00:45:31,679 --> 00:45:33,679
Speaker 1: There's a rumor, and now we're talking about.

925
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,079
Speaker 2: Cloths and dips for those of you just tuning into

926
00:45:36,119 --> 00:45:38,880
the most important part. There's a rumor that the City

927
00:45:39,039 --> 00:45:42,320
edition is going to be pink and blue. I've been

928
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,639
seeing rumbling about this, which if you remember what the

929
00:45:45,639 --> 00:45:50,079
City edition court looks like, which I will screen share

930
00:45:50,159 --> 00:45:57,079
since Adam refused to screen share earlier word it has

931
00:45:57,119 --> 00:46:01,840
some pink and blue thanks to the Jonas wood design here.

932
00:46:03,119 --> 00:46:05,480
I could see this being a pretty sick ass jersey

933
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:07,559
with this shade, these shades of.

934
00:46:07,559 --> 00:46:10,119
Speaker 1: Blue and green. I don't necessarily think it connects.

935
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,639
Speaker 5: Gonna because I see a lot of brown on the card.

936
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 2: The jersey's gonna it's gonna act, oh the hardwood, it's

937
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,239
gonna act as camouflage. So the Clippers are gonna be

938
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:25,920
wearing gonna be wearing jerseys will look exactly like this. No,

939
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,320
but I'm excited to see these. I cannot wait to

940
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,519
see the city editions. I'm sure we'll see some leaks

941
00:46:30,559 --> 00:46:33,679
from NBA. I guess NBA Brazil doesn't exist anymore, but

942
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,159
there's always like random uh leaks.

943
00:46:37,159 --> 00:46:39,519
Speaker 1: So I'm excited. I feel like they're gonna be sweet.

944
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:41,280
And this court rules.

945
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,679
Speaker 5: There's a blue jersey, there's a white jersey, there's a

946
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:48,800
red jersey. Yes, this is the city edition. We're saying

947
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,880
that could be the pink one. What's the red one?

948
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:58,119
Then association statement? Statement? Is it the statement that sounds right?

949
00:46:58,639 --> 00:47:02,519
It is at go back to red after all this time? Sure, truly.

950
00:47:03,119 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what.

951
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,559
Speaker 2: Back in my day, team's had two jerseys chuck home

952
00:47:07,599 --> 00:47:08,920
and away.

953
00:47:10,119 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a different time.

954
00:47:12,639 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, nineteen twenty three was a vastly different time.

955
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,199
Speaker 5: Outside and find a cloud, I will dude.

956
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:20,760
Speaker 1: And you know what, back in my day, there's only

957
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:21,800
two kinds of clouds.

958
00:47:22,119 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 3: Do we really want to get into? Uh?

959
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,079
Speaker 5: These clouds are softah.

960
00:47:26,039 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 4: Completely unchecked and unbridled rise of capitalism in the time

961
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,079
since we were children to now.

962
00:47:31,519 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's uh, we're doing clips and capitalism after this.

963
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:39,000
That's our other show, Chips and Capitalism.

964
00:47:39,079 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 1: All right, speaking of chips, does anyone have a dip?

965
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,519
Speaker 2: I have been the viewers have gotten to watch me

966
00:47:44,559 --> 00:47:46,800
eat a whole mess of chips and dip.

967
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 1: Did you guys?

968
00:47:48,159 --> 00:47:50,079
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna dip for your ass.

969
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 5: Aggressive dips?

970
00:47:53,519 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: Wow, Adam, you do not have one?

971
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:01,280
Speaker 5: Guys? I am really, I'm not. I'm not even doing

972
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,840
this just because I'm being lazy. I really have to

973
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,599
crack down on what I'm eating right now. If I'm

974
00:48:06,599 --> 00:48:09,440
gonna make it to ten percent, it is time to

975
00:48:09,559 --> 00:48:15,079
lock things down it, bro Seriously, I've only eaten five

976
00:48:15,159 --> 00:48:17,920
hundred and fifty calories so far today, and I'm trying

977
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:19,880
to definitely stay under eight hundred today.

978
00:48:20,159 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 1: That's crazy.

979
00:48:21,159 --> 00:48:22,599
Speaker 5: I got a little bit of fruit and a little

980
00:48:22,599 --> 00:48:24,639
bit of yoga. I can eat later and that's all

981
00:48:24,679 --> 00:48:25,000
I get.

982
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:30,159
Speaker 2: Yoga counts yoga five hundred and fifty calories, Broly is seven.

983
00:48:31,079 --> 00:48:33,760
Speaker 5: But I am on a lot of zero calorie caffeine.

984
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,119
That's keep me going. Baby.

985
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,079
Speaker 1: What's your body fat at? What was the last Bechdel scam?

986
00:48:38,199 --> 00:48:40,679
Speaker 5: I mean, I haven't done one since the first. I'm

987
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,199
guessing I'm around fourteen percent body fat.

988
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 1: Currently, right, that's fantastic.

989
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,199
Speaker 5: I'm making progress.

990
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,159
Speaker 2: Will Adam revealed that he's eaten five hundred and fifty

991
00:48:51,159 --> 00:48:51,920
calories today.

992
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:53,679
Speaker 3: Why are you doing that?

993
00:48:55,039 --> 00:48:57,159
Speaker 5: Because I was inspired by you and your kettle.

994
00:48:59,079 --> 00:49:03,159
Speaker 3: But I mean my I'm not like limiting to my

995
00:49:03,159 --> 00:49:05,199
my calaries. Do it that sort of level.

996
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,519
Speaker 1: That's Will. What dip do you got?

997
00:49:09,119 --> 00:49:16,599
Speaker 4: I got a flavorful Southwest style salsa. Okay, it actually

998
00:49:17,119 --> 00:49:20,800
actually right before we hopped on here. I threw it

999
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:25,440
on a couple of quido tortillas with somemarugula and pounded

1000
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,960
it down, which is a you know, a crazy person

1001
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:30,280
meal that you eat standing.

1002
00:49:30,639 --> 00:49:31,639
Speaker 5: How many calories does that?

1003
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:33,119
Speaker 3: Busy at work?

1004
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,280
Speaker 2: Adam salivating, He's like, tell us more about how it tasted.

1005
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:38,320
It made the spellowus.

1006
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:41,119
Speaker 1: So I went.

1007
00:49:41,199 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 2: I went with a classic. Last last time we were together,

1008
00:49:44,039 --> 00:49:46,800
I went to Arawon. I dropped fifteen dollars. There's a

1009
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:48,800
Twitter guy who reached out. He was like, you should

1010
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,280
have got your lavage from an Armenian bakery, and I

1011
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:52,599
was like, full disclosure.

1012
00:49:52,639 --> 00:49:55,280
Speaker 1: I went to Arawon as a bit trust me, I

1013
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:56,480
don't have the money. Again.

1014
00:49:56,519 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 2: I'm taking five hundred bucks if you sneaking to my

1015
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,280
house and watch me sleep. Why you support local Armyia,

1016
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,960
I do support a lot of local army.

1017
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like you're a little busy with your airwand

1018
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,960
with my arawon. I just go there and park, I

1019
00:50:11,039 --> 00:50:14,159
just go to hang, you know, so I went the

1020
00:50:14,199 --> 00:50:16,280
other way. I'm keeping it real, I'm keeping it safe.

1021
00:50:16,559 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: Uh.

1022
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:21,559
Speaker 2: Tostitos just salt of coca. Nothing crazy eating them.

1023
00:50:21,679 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: Uh with uh.

1024
00:50:25,599 --> 00:50:29,679
Speaker 2: Uh OEM chips original equipment manufactured chips. These are also

1025
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:33,360
Tostito's chips. That's a charm for if you used to

1026
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,880
work for a vaporizer company and people were obsessed with parts.

1027
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 1: Ohem. But it's good.

1028
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 3: That's a lot of industries.

1029
00:50:40,519 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 1: I think it's only the vape industry.

1030
00:50:42,639 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 3: I like that you thought it was that.

1031
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 1: I mean I never heard it.

1032
00:50:45,159 --> 00:50:49,039
Speaker 2: It was my first office job. And I would bring

1033
00:50:49,079 --> 00:50:51,519
this to the barbecue. I've brought this to many a barbecue.

1034
00:50:52,039 --> 00:50:54,159
So will would you bring yours to a barbecue?

1035
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 3: You know what?

1036
00:50:55,519 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 4: I there's fucking chunks of corn in it, which, again

1037
00:50:58,519 --> 00:51:00,400
being Keto, I really hates, and no, I would not.

1038
00:51:01,079 --> 00:51:03,679
Speaker 1: That's fair. That's adam.

1039
00:51:03,679 --> 00:51:05,599
Speaker 3: When i'd have to like strain those out.

1040
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 5: I literally brought that dip, the one you're eating to

1041
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:13,039
the last barbecue we ad no, but yeah, I love

1042
00:51:13,079 --> 00:51:13,440
that dip.

1043
00:51:14,039 --> 00:51:15,039
Speaker 1: Great tip. All right.

1044
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 4: One of the like one of the surprise hits for

1045
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,320
me of this entire segment that we've met is I

1046
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,679
think it's just the toast. I think it's still the

1047
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:28,880
tostedos uh brand, but it's the Plano Blancos the case.

1048
00:51:29,519 --> 00:51:32,360
It is incredible. Not that the regular one isn't good,

1049
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,079
but this is like, who real.

1050
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:39,199
Speaker 1: Good good ship, oh real mass. I think that about

1051
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:42,119
wraps it up. We're gonna be back next week for y'all.

1052
00:51:42,159 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 2: There's only around forty days until the regular season starts.

1053
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: Cut calories, adam fucking impressed?

1054
00:51:50,159 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 3: Is that why you're doing this.

1055
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:55,280
Speaker 5: Instead of getting before the season starts?

1056
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 3: H I don't think.

1057
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,199
Speaker 2: But if you have a goal for the preseason, because

1058
00:52:00,199 --> 00:52:02,239
the first preseason game is October fifth.

1059
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 5: Yeah not eat Especially now October twenty third is the cutoff,

1060
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,760
I'm gonna get a dexa scaned like the day before.

1079
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,000
through the off season. It's been it's felt like a

1080
00:53:09,039 --> 00:53:12,199
long time without basketball, but it's gone by quickly.

1081
00:53:12,559 --> 00:53:15,800
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, with good friends, great content.

1082
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,159
Speaker 2: I partially agree, but last week, because of the heat,

1083
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:24,000
I was in a slog uh. Adam, you're one positive

1084
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,039
thing for Clippers fans to send them for the rest

1085
00:53:26,159 --> 00:53:26,639
of their.

1086
00:53:26,519 --> 00:53:29,760
Speaker 5: Week wouldn't be so hot if you didn't have that

1087
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,960
hot ass gold chain like your Mookie bets.

1088
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 3: I love it.

1089
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,119
Speaker 2: I will say it conducts heat a little too well.

1090
00:53:38,159 --> 00:53:40,480
It burned my neck walking to target last week.

1091
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 5: By positive thing. Uh. I think the pick and roll

1092
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:49,400
point in talking about that was a good one today, Chuck,

1093
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,119
And I'm starting to think, and somebody could put this

1094
00:53:51,159 --> 00:53:55,760
in the comment section, what is the worst offense that

1095
00:53:55,880 --> 00:54:00,440
James Harden has been in offensive rating wise since he became,

1096
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,880
you know, a number one, number two option, so over

1097
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,599
the last ten or so years, because I'm guessing every

1098
00:54:07,639 --> 00:54:12,920
one of those offenses was probably top ten. That that

1099
00:54:13,119 --> 00:54:17,159
speaks to just his greatness and what it means to

1100
00:54:17,199 --> 00:54:22,840
have a system. He is a system. Yeah, and it's true.

1101
00:54:23,039 --> 00:54:25,039
And more pick and roll the better. I didn't think

1102
00:54:25,039 --> 00:54:28,119
they were in the stats board out. I did not

1103
00:54:28,199 --> 00:54:30,400
think they spammed it enough last season. It bothered me.

1104
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,000
I felt like there was always an easier way guys

1105
00:54:33,079 --> 00:54:34,960
run high pick and roll. With one of the best

1106
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,920
pick and role players in the history of basketball, nobody's

1107
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:39,559
figured out a way to stop it, even when they

1108
00:54:39,599 --> 00:54:42,559
had like Ricky Rubio guarding behind him and all this stuff.

1109
00:54:42,559 --> 00:54:44,159
Speaker 1: The James Harden.

1110
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, come on, you got James Harden. So

1111
00:54:47,559 --> 00:54:50,920
maybe maybe I'm doing being too conservative when I say

1112
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,000
the Clippers just need to be a top thirteen offense

1113
00:54:53,079 --> 00:54:57,039
this season. Maybe there's evidence they can still be a

1114
00:54:57,039 --> 00:54:59,719
top ten offense just by having James Harden.

1115
00:55:01,199 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 2: We'll see. They just gotta spam it. I respect it.

1116
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,800
Spam the easiest option. We thank you everyone for hanging out.

1117
00:55:07,119 --> 00:55:10,360
We'll be back next week, and as always, let's go

1118
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:10,719
clip
